Chapter 337 - 335: 2 Years of Seclusion, 3 Years of Epiphany

Chapter 337: Chapter 335: 2 Years of Seclusion, 3 Years of Epiphany

"The azure heavens transform, a triple scene unfolds,

Qingsu’s seasons pass, a tale that time has told.

Spirit Jade Treasures now in countless households lie,

For this age of peace and joy, my heart lets out a sigh."

Another cold winter had arrived.

It was now nighttime.

Tang Dan gazed at the changes on Qingsu Island and couldn’t help but recite a poem.

His eyes held a sense of worldly weariness, yet his body faintly exuded the aura of the Golden Core Realm.

The three great worlds in the sky obscured the sun, moon, and stars.

But they had become a different kind of sun, moon, and stars hanging in the firmament.

At night, especially, the bright lights of the second Great World resembled a new sun and moon.

Many living beings already inhabited the first Great World.

Its library was already half-full of books.

Most of the books from the first to the Fifth Realm were available for reading; only the Immortal Scriptures in the central area were inaccessible.

"Teacher, are you lamenting the changes of the world?" Zhang Anping asked, attending to him at his side.

The Zhang Anping of today was already at the Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer.

Five years had passed since Su Qing went into seclusion.

"Anping, do you know how many ordinary people yearn for such a prosperous age?" Tang Dan asked, his hands clasped behind his back as he gazed down at Qingsu Island and the three worlds in the sky.

"I know, Teacher. I used to hope for this very much."

"Yes, you too have cultivated from a mortal to where you are today."

"I thought you had already forgotten what it was like to be a mortal," Tang Dan said with a faint smile, the weariness in his eyes unchanged.

In a prosperous age, the people thrive, the fields yield harvests, and families live in harmony.

A life no longer troubled by the struggle for survival.

It was what all living beings in the world longed for.

Tang Dan would never forget the hardships of his own ordinary century of life.

"How could I dare forget, Teacher?" Zhang Anping quickly replied.

"It has been nine years for Qingsu Island."

"Thinking back, it seems only the Young Master could have developed this island to its current state."

Five years had passed. During that time, Tang Dan had also entered seclusion, with his longest session lasting two years.

"To be honest, I am still somewhat confused in my heart."

Tang Dan sighed, and Zhang Anping caught the desolate look in his eyes.

"Is it about that mistress?"

"Bullshit!" The moment he heard the word "mistress," Tang Dan’s emotions fluctuated.

He quickly responded, "She just looks like an old acquaintance, that’s all."

"Zhang Anping, when you’ve lived long enough, you will have seen many people, learned many things, and witnessed much of history."

"Of course, there will also be people and things to which you become emotionally attached."

"The past cannot be changed..."

"It is best that I... do not get involved again."

"But why does the mistress always come looking for you?"

"I already told you, she’s not your mistress!" Tang Dan glared at Zhang Anping.

’This disciple of mine is getting a bit worrying.’

"Stop calling her ’mistress’ all the time. You’ll give people the wrong idea."

"You might as well find yourself a Dao Companion first before you talk."

"Hmph!"

"I’m going into seclusion!"

"Chu Jiu, Hidden Dragon, do not act!"

Su Qing smiled as he watched the changes within the Synthesizer.

’Becoming stronger is just a matter of time.’

And now, he had plenty of time to do just that.

When the God Demon Devouring Universe Map reached Perfection, it had already broken through the limitations on his Soul Realm and immediately began to enhance Su Qing’s Soul Cultivation.

Su Qing, for his part, reached Perfection in his Heaven and Earth Illusionary Skill at the end of the second year.

After half a year of Enlightenment, he used numerous Immortal Scriptures to synthesize the Immortal Shedding Creation Technique, along with two effective Standardizations.

Then, when the God Demon Devouring Universe Map reached Perfection, Su Qing seamlessly began to comprehend the Divine Technique of Breathing In and Out of All Things, as well as the power to control time and space.

It was like a sudden epiphany.

Su Qing spent the first two years consuming Spirit Fruits and the next three years completely immersed in Enlightenment.

Only now had he finally finished comprehending all the gifts bestowed by the God Demon Devouring Universe Map.

’When the Immortal Shedding Technique reaches Minor Achievement, my body should have begun its Immortal Transformation Body, reaching the Ascension Realm.’

’At that point, my soul will also begin to ascend.’

As for the current Immortal Shedding Technique, it only increased by one Skill Level point per day.

When Su Qing looked at the Little Immortal Realm, his soul began to constantly run inferences on its creation.

If Su Qing hadn’t decisively stopped his thoughts, he estimated it would have taken at least several million years of Inference to have any chance of success.

’The Dao Principle for controlling Time and Space.’

Su Qing attempted to apply the Dao Principle he had comprehended.

Within the Little Immortal Realm, heaven and earth suddenly froze.

He could clearly feel that time and space within the Little Immortal Realm had stagnated.

But very quickly, Su Qing had to stop due to the immense consumption.

’How can this be? Why is my ability to control time and space so pathetic?’

Su Qing felt that he had only managed to freeze time and space in the Little Immortal Realm for a single minute.

Yet his soul’s energy was constantly draining, and even with recovery, it couldn’t keep up.

He frowned, extremely displeased.

’Don’t tell me this God Demon Devouring Universe Map is a fake.’

He had once looked forward to having this ability so much.

He hadn’t expected it to be so lame now.

The boost from the Void Nether Dao Body was more impressive.

The God Demon Devouring Universe Map’s ability to control time and space consumed Su Qing’s soul.

Back when he knew he was going into seclusion, he had left one of the Earth Great Immortals from his Micro Acupoints in the Synthesizer; the rest had all been ground away by the Great Dao Wheel.

’Right now, based on my physique alone, could I pin a Ninth Realm Immortal to the ground and beat them?’

Su Qing straightened his cross-legged legs, flew up to steady himself, and then walked out of the Little Immortal Realm.

His courtyard was very peaceful. Su Qing found that without even using his soul’s senses, he could tell what most people were doing.

It was as if the surrounding space itself had become his senses.

This was the Star River Authority, the ability to control time and space.

’In terms of quality alone, I feel like my soul has already surpassed that of the entire world.’

A soul that can Breathe In and Out of All Things can grow forever. Otherwise, why would it be called the God Demon Devouring Universe Map?

Because over the past two-plus years, all the Immortal Qi that Su Qing had supplied for his Dao Foundation’s growth had been absorbed by the God Demon Devouring Universe Map.

’A complete transformation in just five short years,’ Su Qing thought to himself.

’My strength now will only continue to grow stronger.’

’If I’m given another five years, the Demon Realm will surely be annihilated!’

Su Qing thought silently.

His mood was exceptionally calm, without a single ripple.

The effect of the God Demon Devouring Universe Map was intense.

It controlled most of Su Qing’s useless emotions and sentimental thoughts.

Su Qing suddenly withdrew this suppression of his emotions.

"Haaah~"

’Why do I feel like I can finally breathe again?’ After releasing this restriction, Su Qing felt his emotions become much more active.

Smelling the fragrance of the flowers in the courtyard, Su Qing smiled in contentment.

"It’s been five years, but they haven’t overgrown the place."

"Why is everyone on the island in seclusion?"

"Sigh!"

"No more seclusion. No more seclusion for me."

Su Qing didn’t want to go into seclusion anymore.

At this point, he was utterly tired of it.

He needed to rest for at least a month.

After reaching the Seventh Realm, one could endlessly comprehend Dao Principle and Dao Essence.

Moreover, comprehending these two required a very high level of Comprehension.

It was also through this comprehension that one possessed limitless potential for growth.

It was a common occurrence for one Seventh Realm cultivator to be unable to defeat another.

Because they couldn’t be measured by common sense.

Su Qing’s Arrays were simply so immensely powerful that they broke through those cultivators’ Dao Principle and Dao Essence.

Array Plates themselves did not utilize Dao Principle.

Only the Immortal Puppets possessed some power of Dao Principle.
