Chapter 529 - 527: The Dao Fruit Finally Reaches Perfection

Chapter 529: Chapter 527: The Dao Fruit Finally Reaches Perfection

’Another year has passed.’

’Time flies.’

’I wonder how the Candle Dragon Race is doing.’

Su Qing thought about what might have happened after he left. With Su Qing gone, the Candle Dragon Race had likely lost their so-called backer.

Zhu Yuan also seemed to have gone to the Star Sea Tree to cultivate.

"..."

’Who knows? They have to stand on their own two feet eventually. What’s there for me to worry about?’

’If that’s what happened, then it’s their own trial to overcome.’ Su Qing became indifferent once more.

In two years, he had gained 30,000 Skill Level.

He now had over 270,000 Skill Level.

Su Qing was overjoyed.

With only ninety thousand Skill Level to go, he would reach Perfection in about six years.

When the time came, Su Qing would once again find a remote place to make his breakthrough.

’I should reach Perfection within five years.’

’Dao Fruit Perfection...’ Su Qing thought of his Time Dao Fruit.

If it truly reached Perfection, he could probably achieve a genuine Time Pause.

’Time Pause, Time Reversal.’

’I wonder if it’s possible. The Thirteenth Realm should be able to perform Time Reversal, right?’

Su Qing wasn’t sure.

Year after year, he watched this dynasty develop, but they never moved beyond worldly matters or delved deeper into the principles of their sciences.

This was actually very normal.

In the beginning, the development of these principles was primarily to replace manual labor or to be directly turned into potent weapons on the battlefield.

There were agricultural tools, but progress was limited to just that—tools.

"It worked!" Li Renren, who was beside him, suddenly shouted.

He jumped for joy.

The power of the Dao Path within his body had actually advanced from the sixth step to the seventh.

’This kid.’

’Not bad.’

’Did it really work?’

On the second floor, Su Qing’s main body probed the little rabbit’s memories.

A little rabbit whose Dao Path had been broken... so what if it had Spiritual Wisdom?

Su Qing could peer into its memories without it even knowing.

Su Qing saw through its memories in a single glance.

’The memories really did reappear.’

’This technique... not bad. I’ll be learning this little trick of yours.’ From the rabbit’s memories, Su Qing also learned how it had recovered them.

The method was to use the initial, shattered piece of its soul to constantly stimulate its memories of death. In the end, all its memories resurfaced.

This also proved a point: even a tiny fragment of a soul contains all of its memories.

It was just like the two times Su Qing’s own soul had been shattered and then repaired.

His memories hadn’t faded, and he had assumed it was because of his Visualization Map and Synthesizer.

He hadn’t expected the memories to be recorded in the soul itself.

Su Qing withdrew his gaze, a smile playing on his lips.

Li Renren’s method was truly extreme. The slightest misstep could lead to the soul being scattered to the winds or, at best, turn the subject into an idiot.

This was also one of the reasons why the living beings of the Star Sea could mend souls but not restore memories.

At the same time, this was merely a theory; no living being had ever succeeded with it.

Only Li Renren had managed to succeed, just this once.

’However, I’ll give you a chance to come into contact with it.’

Su Qing nodded in satisfaction.

Although Li Renren’s method was crude, after Su Qing learned it, he had already deduced several improved versions.

If he were to use the Synthesizer, he could probably create a powerful soul-repairing Magic.

’My collection of Magic is growing.’

’Or rather, I’m becoming more and more omnipotent.’

’Ever since I stepped into the Tenth Realm, I haven’t had to use my full power.’

’The Star Sea is mostly stable, and the beings I encounter are weaker than me.’

Su Qing thought about all the Magic he had mastered. There were too many to count.

And each one was incredibly powerful.

He basically didn’t need to use all his trump cards to kill his enemies, especially after acquiring the Causal Touch.

Su Qing didn’t even need to fight.

That was why certain unique forms of knowledge were more important.

Su Qing resumed his Cultivation, paying these matters no more mind.

These were not things his main, cultivating body needed to concern itself with.

They were for his avatar to handle.

A smile on his face, Su Qing said, "Congratulations."

"This little rabbit of yours is quite something."

Su Qing walked into the backyard.

He took out a book.

This book was about medicinal herbs.

It was a book detailing most of the medicinal herbs in the entire Star Sea.

Then, he tossed it to Li Renren.

This was no ordinary book. How much of it Li Renren could memorize would depend on his own ability.

Though it looked thin, Li Renren wouldn’t be able to finish it even if he turned hundreds of thousands of pages.

Su Qing tossed it to Li Renren.

"Su Qing... Senior, what is this?"

"Don’t worry about it. Just read. Memorize as much as you can."

Su Qing glanced at the wife beside him and said coolly, "Sometimes, having family is a wonderful thing."

"You need to think things through clearly."

"Go on, memorize it. How much you learn will be your own good fortune."

"Here’s an idea for governing a nation: give more support to the creation of Artifacts and focus on developing craftsmen. Perhaps, in a few decades, this country will become incredibly prosperous."

"Of course, the most important thing is to have a steady and capable leader to rule the country," Su Qing added quietly, a veiled message for Li Renren and his wife.

"Don’t speak of me to anyone."

"Otherwise, this opportunity I’ve given you, Li Renren, will be gone," Su Qing said, a corner of his mouth lifting.

Li Renren froze for a moment, then nodded. "Understood."

"Yu’Er?"

"I won’t say a word."

Li Renren nodded in satisfaction and opened the book Su Qing had given him.

It was filled with nothing but medicinal herbs.

For a powerful Daoist Cultivator, memorizing things was simple.

But the book was not simple.

In just a short while, although Li Renren had turned over a hundred pages, he felt that the book’s thickness hadn’t changed at all.

In one day, he memorized over a thousand types of medicinal herbs.

Li Renren felt he was about to get them all mixed up.

He quickly had to review them again. There were too many.

Moreover, from the outside, the book didn’t look like it had thousands of pages at all. A magical book.

And yet, Senior Su Qing had let him view it so casually.

But there were so many herbs he had never even seen before.

What’s more, the book even contained life-extending herbs, one of which could supposedly increase a person’s lifespan by a hundred years.

It was truly magical.

Li Renren felt as if he had discovered a new world.

The most conspicuous thing in the book was the two words ’Star Sea’.

’The Star Sea?’

Li Renren thought of the Stars in the night sky.

’Could that be the Star Sea?’

’What kind of place is it?’

A man from an ancient time, he began to imagine the Star Sea, likely thinking it was an Immortal Land.

It was no fault of Li Renren’s; his thoughts were simply limited by his knowledge.

Once one witnesses something new, one’s horizons are broadened.

In the Star Sea, the one thing you can’t do without is learning.

If Su Qing hadn’t felt that the Taichu Daoist Palace was unsafe, he never would have run away.

The environment at the Taichu Daoist Palace was much more relaxed than here.

But it was also much more restrictive.

...

...

Five years passed, and the mortal world changed greatly.

Especially after Su Qing gave his guidance to Li Renren.

When the entire nation began to value its craftsmen, the ensuing changes were revolutionary.

Productivity changed immensely.

Unfortunately, grain production did not increase. After all, their nation had only been developing for five years.

’It’s time to leave.’

Over these five years, Li Renren had learned a great deal.

His entire demeanor had become much more stable and composed.

On an ordinary day, just as the library was about to close...

Su Qing stood up.

After five years, wrinkles had appeared on Su Qing’s face, making him look like an ordinary mortal.

But in the next moment, Su Qing instantly returned to his youthful appearance, a white Cloak materializing on his body.

"Li Renren."

Su Qing called out softly.

Li Renren looked up. His senior’s face had become incomparably young again. He felt that his great opportunity had arrived.

"Senior."

"I’ve been here for over a decade now."

"You are a Daoist Cultivator with considerable Talent."

Su Qing gave him a book titled *Star Sea Chronicles* and a round orb.

"Head in the direction the orb points. After you finish this book, you can go and explore the things you wish to know."

Li Renren accepted them with great respect. ’That move just now... could it have been Universe in the Sleeve?’

He had made something appear out of thin air.

"Thank you, Senior."

"I see great potential in your Talent. Your Dao Path also requires you to understand your own heart if you wish to go further," Su Qing added as a final piece of advice.

In Li Renren’s eyes, his figure vanished in an instant.

He felt that Senior Su Qing had truly left.
