Chapter 218: Chapter 216: Hidden Dragon Enters the Abyss, Lying Dormant
This world might even devour the Immortal Realm.
After all, Su Qing knew from his last breakthrough.
The world had truly devoured the Immortal Qi that escaped during his breakthrough.
But that wouldn’t do.
At most, it would only cause greater turmoil.
It would cause even higher-level Cultivators to appear in the Celestial Sea Realm.
Su Qing didn’t want that.
He hadn’t even reached the Divinity Transformation Realm yet.
The Divinity Transformation Technique that Su Hongshang had given him...
[Nine-Turn Divinity Transformation Technique: Includes all Cultivation Methods for breaking through to and cultivating the Yin Realm and Yang Realm of the Divinity Transformation Realm. The spirit ascends to Divinity Transformation in one breath, roaming between heaven and earth...]
Su Qing still hadn’t synthesized it.
He had just put it aside.
Divinity Transformation.
Su Qing still needed to focus on his Cultivation for now.
Gulp, gulp.
He downed Elixirs with abandon.
The same went for the synthesized leaves. After the Immortal Stone affair came to a close,
the conflict between the Zhengxuan Sect and the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sacred Land intensified.
Coupled with Su Qing’s Curse Killing Power,
Ji Qianqiu had to endure the agony no matter what.
At the same time, because the fortune surrounding him had begun to turn black,
even the Grand Elder of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sacred Land advised Ji Qianqiu not to leave the Sacred Land.
The last time, Ji Qianqiu had rushed to the Celestial Sea Realm, also wanting to fight for the Immortal Stone.
In the end, a large group of famous Divinity Transformation Cultivators had been slapped so hard they coughed up blood.
Their very souls were nearly knocked out of their bodies.
All for that one Immortal Stone.
Ji Qianqiu was filled with regret. He had known Su Qing had a secret, but he never imagined it would be so formidable. He should have performed Soul Searching on Su Qing back then and dug out his secrets.
Now, it was too late for everything.
That kid hid himself far too well.
...
「Half a year later.」
Luo Xingya reached the Qi Refining Fifth Level.
Her cultivation speed was already considered very fast.
As for Su Qing, he cursed Ji Qianqiu every month.
It was an incredibly satisfying experience.
As for the Immortal Stone,
to Su Qing, a small one was like trash.
Useless.
’My enemy isn’t just Ji Qianqiu anymore.’
’It’s the entire Immortal Cultivation Realm. The Immortal Realm is just too conspicuous.’
’Why don’t I just synthesize an even bigger Immortal Stone and have it transform into an Immortal Realm?’
Su Qing pondered silently.
This would cause even greater chaos, but what would it bring Su Qing?
Nothing, it seemed.
The Ten Thousand Tribulations Sacred Land and Ji Qianqiu wouldn’t be damaged at all.
’That’s right. If Ji Qianqiu can post a bounty, why can’t I?’
’I’ll just use another Immortal Stone to put a bounty on Ji Qianqiu, won’t that solve it?’
Su Qing began to smile.
Immortal Stones.
Su Qing had plenty of them.
However, he couldn’t do it now.
There were still many people outside keeping an eye on the Celestial Sea Realm.
If he were to post a bounty, he would have to go to the Nether Sea Realm.
But he was afraid that if he went to the Nether Sea Realm, he might encounter even more powerful beings.
Su Qing silently contemplated the probability of successfully putting a bounty on Ji Qianqiu.
Then, he had Xiaoqing run an Inference on the various possibilities.
The result this time was over a hundred different outcomes.
Many of them were particularly entangled with Su Qing.
Because one of the biggest possibilities was that if Ji Qianqiu were pushed to the brink,
he would use a Secret Technique to sacrificially refine every single Cultivator in the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sacred Land, including two Divinity Transformation Cultivators, and absorb them into his own Cultivation.
He would break through to the Void Realm in a single stroke.
He would reverse the tide of battle, only to be suppressed later by an even stronger Cultivator.
At the same time, everyone Su Qing was familiar with—including his master, his master’s senior brother, his senior sisters, and his junior sisters—
would die in the ensuing battle.
And their souls would be unable to enter the cycle of reincarnation.
After reviewing so many possibilities,
Su Qing had no choice but to abandon this plan.
He would spare Ji Qianqiu this time.
He would continue to use the Immortal-Suppressing Spell to make Ji Qianqiu suffer.
There was no rush.
Since he couldn’t kill Ji Qianqiu in one blow, he just had to make the guy miserable.
「A year passed.」

Host: Su Qing
Realm: Divine Organ Realm [Immortal Palace Conceals Gods and Demons: Second Immortal Palace (516/1000)]
Nascent Soul Sixth Layer [God Demon Infant Raising Method: Mastery (912/1000)]
Fourth Layer of Dustless [God Demon Devouring Universe Map: Mastery (156.17/1000)]
---
His Cultivation was so fast.
It was because Su Qing had consumed too many Standardized items that increased his aptitude over the past year.
He had also maxed out the Dimensionalization talent.
---
Synthesis Lv1049 (1531/105000)
[Synthesis Success Rate +100%, Mutated, Evolution, Divinization, Demonization, Immortal Transformation, Spiritualization, Standardization, Dimensionalization] [Selectable Talent +1]
---
The Synthesis Talents he already possessed.
He had already maxed out all of them.
Su Qing felt that, for now, he didn’t need too many more Talents.
He felt the Planarization talent overlapped too much with Dimensionalization, so he wasn’t planning on selecting it.
He wasn’t lacking anything right now.
The only thing he lacked was time to convert the power of the Synthesizer into his own strength.
There were also many branch Talents, such as the Spacialization talent and the Temporalization talent.
There was also a Sharpening talent.
All sorts of them.
Temporalization required 5 talent points for a 1% effect, and Spacialization was the same.
Something like Sharpening only needed 2 points.
He didn’t need them now; he only needed Standardization.
The existence of Standardization was his true foundation.
Otherwise, how could he have cultivated so quickly?
It was all due to the Rules provided by Standardization, which allowed Su Qing’s aptitude to grow at a delightful rate.
He had now opened an Immortal Palace in his liver, which continuously supplied him with a steady stream of Wood-attribute Longevity Immortal Essence.
Inside, a phantasm resembling a Nascent Soul stood guard within his liver’s Immortal Palace.
It allowed Su Qing to connect with the consciousness of countless plants in the world, and even their Power of Life.
He could leverage it all.
This included anyone whose Realm was lower than his. Even those at the same Realm as him, if their Physique was weak, would have the Wood Qi in their livers stirred by Su Qing.
It would throw the very foundation of their life into chaos.
This was the Divine Technique of the liver’s Immortal Palace.
It was incredibly badass.
It felt comparable to the Immortal Control Hand.
It was even far more powerful than the Immortal Control Hand.
During this year,
Su Qing continuously cursed Ji Qianqiu.
He never stopped.
For instance, Su Qing had just finished cursing Ji Qianqiu again,
a satisfied look on his face.
"It’s been a whole year. Hasn’t Ji Qianqiu made any moves?" Su Qing couldn’t help but wonder.

Ten Thousand Tribulations Sacred Land.
Qinghe Hall.
In the main hall, just as Ji Qianqiu was explaining to Wang Zhi how to cultivate the Ten Thousand Tribulations Divine Body at the Golden Core Realm,
his mind suddenly went heavy, as if he had suffered a grievous blow.
He quickly consumed a Tier Five Spirit Medicine to recover from the soul injury.
His face turned pale.
"That’s enough, Wang Zhi. You are dismissed. I have matters to discuss with the Grand Elder."
Ji Qianqiu had already thrown all the tantrums he could.
But this time, he hadn’t expected his soul to be unable to withstand the curse.
’This curse... who in the hell is doing this?!’
’Could it really be Su Qing?’
But forget Ji Qianqiu; even others couldn’t find Su Qing. The boy was simply too good at hiding.
...
...
"Grand Elder, what should I do? I feel like I can’t hold on anymore," Ji Qianqiu said, his face etched with exhaustion.
The Grand Elder was beside him. He said with some concern, "I have a Tier Five Array here. It should be able to offset some of the Thunder Tribulation."
"Why don’t you stay here for a while?"
Amidst the Grand Elder’s worried expression, a sinister glint flickered in his eyes.
This was the very opportunity he had been waiting for.
...
"Fine. Next month, I will come here to take shelter," Ji Qianqiu said, utterly exhausted.
He turned and left.
’Hmph. Old man, even if I die, I’ll drag you down with me. In the entire Sect, you’re the only one who never made the vow...’ Ji Qianqiu would never trust him.
It was just that they were both at the Divinity Transformation Realm. The other party was the first to make a move against him.
As if Ji Qianqiu didn’t want to deal with him as well.
But doing so would lead to the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sacred Land being carved up, or at the very least, its influence would be weakened.
After Ji Qianqiu left,
the Grand Elder’s eyes, black and white, stared at the fortune above Ji Qianqiu’s head. "Heh heh, Ji Qianqiu, your fortune is not looking good."
Indeed, half of it had already turned black. It seemed he was about to face a great catastrophe.
