Chapter 439 - 437: Want to Come to the Gathering?

Chapter 439: Chapter 437: Want to Come to the Gathering?

Another cultivation method for a Source Path.

Su Qing was very pleased.

Su Qing went to the Taichu Book Land.

He prepared to take a closer look.

He had to know what kind of Dao Path this cultivation method was for.

....

’Holy crap, it’s the Devouring Dao Path?’

Su Qing was stunned.

This was a magnificent gift.

The Devouring Dao Path was already powerful, after all.

And now he had a cultivation method for its Source Path.

Wasn’t this just heaven-defying?

And some fellow had practically gifted it to Su Qing.

He was far too generous.

Su Qing had assumed it would be one of the most common Dao Paths.

Like the Five Elements Dao Path.

He never expected to get a Source Path cultivation method for the Devouring Dao Path.

This was a magnificent gift.

And Su Qing happily accepted it.

He’d learned the man’s Immortal Techniques.

And now he’d received a Source Path cultivation method for the Devouring Dao Path.

Honestly, Su Qing didn’t even know how to thank him.

’All I can do is wish him happiness from the bottom of my heart...’

Getting stuff for free.

It’s the best!

In the end,

Su Qing began to carefully study the Source Path cultivation method for the Devouring Dao Path.

Of course,

this study was just for him to form his own insights.

Ultimately, he would synthesize it into his own Great Dao Cultivation Method.

He felt that his Great Dao Cultivation Method had not yet reached its limit.

So, naturally, Su Qing chose to continue synthesizing.

After he finished studying the cultivation method for the Devouring Dao Path,

Su Qing had gotten what he wanted.

Then, he continued to read the other books in the Taichu Book Land.

Su Qing’s life was just that dull and tedious.

Everything he did was for himself.

Because Su Qing couldn’t help others.

What happened before had left Su Qing heartbroken.

He had chosen to no longer help others.

Not even his own friends.

The Star Sea might be part of the Great Thousand Worlds and possess vast resources,

but some resources were still incredibly difficult to obtain.

But Su Qing himself possessed a Synthesizer.

Its Standardization function meant Su Qing never had to worry about resources.

And then there was his Growth Technique.

It was absurdly powerful.

His current strength,

could be said to be at the very peak of the Daoist Initial Realm.

And it was still continuously growing.

Unfortunately,

even so, he was still unable to perceive the presence of a certain fated entity.

It was probably on the same level as Taichu and Black Abyss.

In Su Qing’s current state,

he was not yet strong enough to stand alongside them.

...

This time, he hadn’t been reading for long

when a certain "Wealth God" found Su Qing.

This handsome man came up to Su Qing.

"Su Qing, do you want to attend the gathering for the Last Life Clan?"

"There are seven members of the Last Life Clan in the Taichu Daoist Palace, myself included."

"No." Su Qing shook his head.

He really didn’t want to attend such a gathering.

It was obviously some kind of diplomatic banquet.

Generally speaking, they were useless.

Su Qing had no desire to get to know anyone from the Last Life Clan.

’So what if they’re powerful?’

’Are they as powerful as someone in the Thirteenth Realm?’

’The Artifacts of the Last Life Clan are powerful, but that doesn’t mean their users are.’

’Someone who threatens a Thirteenth Realm expert would probably just get slapped to death in a single blow.’

’A weapon is only powerful when it’s being used.’

’If you can’t use it, it’s useless.’

’At best, it’s just a deterrent.’

Su Qing didn’t want to attend such a gathering.

It was of no use to him whatsoever.

Not even for this avatar of his.

"Are you sure you’re not going?" the World Master asked, puzzled.

He said slowly, "A certain young lady from the Last Life Clan is very interested in you."

"She heard you’re very interested in Cultivation Techniques."

"So she’s prepared a Source Path cultivation method for the Space Dao Path as a gift for you."

"All you have to do is attend."

Su Qing froze.

He looked up at the World Master in disbelief. "Is this for real?"

"Of course."

"And they’re a pair of beautiful sisters, you know."

"Every one of us in the Last Life Clan wants to form a marriage alliance with them."

"Do you have any idea how famous you’ve become?"

"To give something so precious..."

"...there must be strings attached, right?"

"Of course there are. If there weren’t any conditions, this gift would be far too valuable just to get you to attend a party," the World Master chuckled.

’If there really were no strings attached...’

’...Su Qing probably wouldn’t go.’

’Some of the most expensive things in life are free.’

It was just like with the World Master; he had given a precious gift.

And now Su Qing’s attitude toward him was no longer so cold.

"Since you’re putting it that way, does that mean the sisters gave you their conditions to relay to me?"

Su Qing closed his book.

"I’d like to hear what these conditions are."

"I would very much like to obtain a Source Path cultivation method for the Space Dao Path," Su Qing said with a faint smile.

Cultivation techniques were what Su Qing wanted most.

They were also the resource he lacked most.

If Su Qing were to figure it out on his own,

it would likely take a very long time.

It was better to just get a working cultivation method, use it for reference, and then feed it into the Synthesizer.

The cost of this approach was much lower than researching it himself.

"How would I know the conditions? But they probably have something to do with the two sisters themselves."

"They’re very beautiful, you know. Perfectly in line with your human aesthetics."

Su Qing shook his head.

"What’s the use of being beautiful?"

He pointed to the spot between his eyebrows.

"I’ve seen someone even more beautiful."

"This avatar of mine doesn’t have the Flame Mark."

"I’ve met Black Abyss, you know."

"And she’s a woman."

Su Qing helplessly touched the spot between his eyebrows.

"Really? You’ve seen Black Abyss?"

"And she’s a woman?"

the World Master asked in disbelief.

"Of course."

"As for why I met her, I won’t get into the details."

Su Qing wasn’t lying.

Black Abyss was truly a sight to behold.

She possessed a kind of bewitching beauty.

And she bore a striking resemblance to Su Hongshang.

"But that doesn’t matter."

"Just tell me if you’ll go or not."

"I don’t even know the conditions. Why would I go?"

"Am I supposed to go, get sold off, and then help you count the money from the sale?"

"If the conditions aren’t clear, I’m not taking anything for free."

"I’m not going." Su Qing shook his head firmly. This situation was completely different.

He wasn’t going to go without knowing the conditions.

After hearing this, the World Master pondered for a moment.

He clapped his hands. "It seems I’ll have to go ask that pair of sisters after all."

"Otherwise, you’ll never agree to go, and I don’t have any spare Source Path cultivation methods to offer you,"

the World Master said with a sigh.

"We’ll see."

"For an outsider like me, this kind of gathering..."

"To be honest, I don’t want to go."

"But if there’s a Source Path cultivation method on the table, I’ll definitely go."

"Even if it’s a little awkward."

Su Qing said softly. He was telling the truth; it was only worth attending if there was something to gain.

"Fine, fine."

"I’ll go have a chat with them later."

"Su Qing, you’re really something else."

"You don’t seem much like a human."

With that, the World Master left.

Su Qing remained silent.

’What does he mean, I don’t seem human?’

’If I’m not human, then what am I?’

He didn’t know what the other man’s standard for judgment was.

Su Qing found another book and began to read.

As the saying goes,

the person in the situation is lost, while the onlooker sees clearly.

There are some things you can’t understand when you’re in the thick of them.

The World Master had seen Su Qing in the Taichu Book Land many times.

He just hadn’t wanted to make his acquaintance before.

Now that they knew each other,

it seemed Su Qing still just liked being in the Taichu Book Land.

Reading.

And more reading.

He was like a heartless member of the Mechanical Race.

Never taking a moment for what he would consider relaxation.

In the Taichu Book Land,

beings like Su Qing who did nothing but read

were a small minority.

Perhaps only about ten percent of the beings there chose to read constantly.

That was what the World Master thought.

But Su Qing truly was relaxed.

He was in a constant state of relaxation.

Reading these books now

was also a form of relaxation for him.

’The more of these books I read...’

’...the more confused I seem to get.’

Su Qing had read too many books.

And some of them had contradictory points of view.

Yet, most cited their own arguments as proof.

This left Su Qing feeling a bit muddled about all the different viewpoints.
