Chapter 217: Chapter 215: The Chaos Caused by the Immortal Stone
No one knew.
Su Qing had returned to the scene.
He was in the water, transformed into a most ordinary Spirit Fish.
He quietly looked up, watching the conflict above.
’As for the Divinity Transformation Cultivator?’
’Why should I come out and fight him? I just want to watch the show.’
A single Immortal Stone.
It had instantly provoked countless Nascent Soul Realm cultivators into a no-holds-barred brawl.
They showed no mercy.
’It was a bit of a stretch,’ Su Qing thought. This particular Immortal Stone contained just over five hundred strands of Immortal Qi, enough to extend one’s life by five thousand years at most.
’I said it could extend one’s life by ten thousand years.’
’That was just to make it more appealing to them.’
From Su Qing’s perspective,
the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators had all unleashed their Dharma Aspects and summoned various Magical Treasures.
They fought until the sky and earth turned dark, all of them focused on seizing that Immortal Stone.
Needless to say, if the Immortal Stone landed in the hands of any Nascent Soul Realm cultivator for even a second,
they would be almost instantly swarmed and attacked.
It was terrifying.
Within a short period of time,
there had originally been only seven Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.
Now, one was dead and another had fled.
The one who died was from the Zhengxuan Sect, and the one who fled was a Nascent Soul Cultivator from Chongming Island.
The Nascent Soul Cultivator from the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sacred Land was next.
He was being ganged up on, yet he still refused to let go of the Immortal Stone in his hand.
The Divinity Transformation Cultivator entered the fray.
He suddenly slapped the Nascent Soul Realm cultivator from the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sacred Land to death.
That Immortal Stone swiftly flew into the Divinity Transformation Cultivator’s Pocket World.
"Insolent juniors. Did you think this Immortal Stone was something you were worthy of?" the Divinity Transformation Cultivator snorted coldly.
He didn’t kill the other Nascent Soul Cultivators. They all belonged to Sects, and killing too many would be troublesome.
"Qian Xin, hand over the Immortal Stone!" Suddenly, a Divinity Transformation Cultivator that Su Qing found especially familiar appeared.
This was the very cultivator who had tried to kill him.
He was now holding a Tier Five Magical Treasure.
He wore a Tier Four Magic Robe.
The Magical Treasure in his hand was ready to be unleashed.
"Divine King’s Spear, Li Shang? I heard your Cultivation regressed and you haven’t recovered from your injuries. You still want to fight me for the Immortal Stone?"
"Get lost, now."
The moment the other Divinity Transformation Cultivator finished his arrogant speech, he transformed into a shuttle of Escape Light and shot away.
"Where do you think you’re going! Divine King’s Spear!" Li Shang couldn’t possibly give up on this Immortal Stone.
The Tier Five Magical Treasure, a long spear, shot out. Its might was like the wrath of a Divine King, locking firmly onto the fleeing Divinity Transformation Cultivator.
As the saying goes, when Immortals fight, mortals suffer.
Even in the depths of the sea, Su Qing could feel a heavy, oppressive pressure.
’The mortals on Chongming Island are probably done for.’
Su Qing offered them a moment of silence, then mercilessly continued watching the farce.
This whole farce was originally staged by Su Qing to mess with the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sacred Land.
He hadn’t expected two unknown Divinity Transformation Cultivators to show up and join the fight.
’As for Immortal Stones... I have plenty.’
Watching two Divinity Transformation Cultivators fight to the death over something useless to him was truly satisfying for Su Qing.
Unfortunately, the two Divinity Transformation Cultivators were flying too fast.
If Su Qing were to dart through the water that quickly, he’d likely be discovered.
’Water has a physical form, after all.’
Just as Su Qing was taking this for granted,
a massive dragon’s head appeared and took a bite out of a Divinity Transformation Cultivator.
At the same time, a kind of Long Wei emanated from the dragon’s body, and a five-colored beam of light struck the fleeing Divinity Transformation Cultivator.
’Well now, Xiaoqing’s Inference is pretty potent.’
’Several of its predictions have come true.’
’The Dragon Race...’
Su Qing hurriedly left the Chongming Islands.
’Something big is about to happen here.’
’The Dragon Race has appeared. I wonder what’s happening at the Profound Bright Islands.’
Just after Su Qing left the vicinity of the Chongming Islands,
he sensed the auras of two more Divinity Transformation Cultivators appear.
’This time, it’s truly chaotic.’
The corners of Su Qing’s mouth couldn’t help but curl up.
’The more chaotic, the better.’
Su Qing had the ability to throw the entire Immortal Cultivation Realm into turmoil.
’My apologies to the mortals caught in the crossfire. And the cultivators.’
Though Su Qing was saying sorry in his heart, he felt not a single shred of remorse.
He had wanted to do this for a long time.
Exposing the Immortal Realm would mean having to hide forever.
There were experts stronger than the Divinity Transformation Realm.
’Even if I reach the Divinity Transformation Realm, would I dare to show myself?’
"Immortal Realm"—just those two words were enough to make even the great reincarnated masters fight amongst themselves.
Forcing Su Qing to lie low forever just wasn’t an option.
Su Qing was going crazy from holding back.
He didn’t want to be timid and cautious anymore.
’It’s just an Immortal Realm. Give me a few Pocket Worlds, and I could build one myself.’
’Even if I have to use Spirit Stones, as long as I can synthesize a ridiculous number of Immortal Stones...’
’...the Immortal Stones themselves will eventually evolve into an Immortal Realm.’
That’s how absurd Immortal Stones were.
Su Qing just wanted to get things started.
Back on Profound Bright Island.
It was already late at night.
The lights in Su Qing’s courtyard were now off.
A large number of the Zhengxuan Sect’s Flying Magical Artifacts had also rushed back.
’They’re probably preparing to run.’
After all, with the mess Su Qing had made on Chongming Island, the area was in complete chaos.
’Territorial disputes?’
’Nothing is more important than saving your own life.’
Within a single day, Su Qing could clearly sense that on Profound Bright Island,
there was not a single person from the Zhengxuan Sect left.
They had all fled via the Teleportation Array.
This included most of the cultivators.
Su Qing wasn’t in a hurry.
He had already asked Xiaoqing to perform an Inference yesterday.
As long as Su Qing didn’t expose his own identity, nothing would ultimately happen to him on Profound Bright Island.
However, that ten-meter-high tsunami in the distance was certainly unpleasant.
The island had arrays.
With the exception of the Zhengxuan Sect, the foundations of most cultivators were on this island; it was impossible for them to flee.
Before Su Qing arrived, there was already an array protecting this place.
As long as the array was activated, a ten-meter tsunami would be no problem.
Right when the ten-meter-high waves appeared,
just as they were about to crash against the island,
several massive Tier Two Defense Arrays materialized, directly blocking the sea’s assault.
At the same time, a loud "BOOM" echoed out.
The tremendous noise caused lights to flicker on in most of the island’s residences.
People got up to see what was happening.
Su Qing’s residence was protected by a Forbidden Array.
That little girl, Luo Xingya, hadn’t yet realized that something major had occurred in the nearby sea.
Tonight’s events...
made Su Qing very happy.
But by noon, another Divinity Transformation Cultivator’s Divine Thought swept over the area.
Then it left.
’Looks like they still haven’t given up on finding me.’
’Too bad. How could they possibly find me like this?’
’Ridiculous.’
’Utterly ridiculous.’
Su Qing didn’t know the current situation.
But that didn’t mean he couldn’t find out.
Returning to his room, Su Qing took out Xiaoqing and activated a Forbidden Array.
"Xiaoqing, do an Inference for me. Did my Immortal Stone end up in the hands of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sacred Land?"
"Yes, Master."
After replying, Xiaoqing began its Inference.
"Master, it did not end up in the hands of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sacred Land. Last night’s Immortal Stone had some of its Immortal Qi divided among the five beings fighting over it. In the end, a powerful expert at the Tribulation Crossing Realm appeared and seized the Immortal Stone."
"Oh?"
"Tribulation Crossing Realm?"
’What Realms are there above Divinity Transformation?’ Su Qing still wasn’t clear on this, so he might as well have Xiaoqing calculate it.
Xiaoqing’s power was considerable.
It should know something like this.
"Above the Divinity Transformation Realm is the Void Realm. Above the Void Realm is the Tribulation Crossing Realm. Above the Tribulation Crossing Realm is the Ascension Realm, and after the Ascension Realm comes the Immortal Realm."
"Master." Xiaoqing quickly finished its Inference.
"This is the limit of what Xiaoqing’s Inference can determine about this world."
"I see."
"There are still so many Realms. Then why have I never seen anyone above the Divinity Transformation Realm in this world? And why do these Sects, which only have cultivators up to the Divinity Transformation Realm, dare to occupy territory so brazenly?"
Xiaoqing began another Inference.
"Master, the number of cultivators at each Realm decreases the higher you go, like a pyramid. Each major Realm above is like a natural chasm, incredibly difficult to cross."
"Furthermore, powerful cultivators seem to prefer cultivating at the center of the world, in the Abyss Sea."
"The Abyss Sea?" Su Qing had heard this name before.
But when Xiaoqing said it was the center of the world, Su Qing was stunned for a moment.
’Isn’t this world shaped like Earth?’
’Does it really have a center?’
.....
"Tell me everything about the Abyss Sea."
Su Qing needed to understand it thoroughly.
...
After learning a great deal about the Abyss Sea from Xiaoqing,
Su Qing still chose not to go there.
’It’s not safe here at all.’
’The center of the world?’
’Heh.’
’If I were to release an Immortal Realm in the Profound Bright Islands, then the Profound Bright Islands would become the center of this world.’
