Chapter 533 - 531: Success at Last

Chapter 533: Chapter 531: Success at Last

"That’s good, then."

Su Qing nodded.

That guy Bai Di has a Boundless Body. Ordinary Cultivators can’t defeat him at all.

"Why did you leave the Taichu Daoist Palace?"

"To hide from some enemies. It was a small matter."

Su Qing said dismissively.

"What about now? You’re not planning to rejoin the Taichu Daoist Palace?"

"Who’s willing to sell their Taichu Seal?" Su Qing asked in return. He smiled and added, "And I’m not one to snatch things from others."

"Besides, the Taichu Daoist Palace is basically no help to me now."

Su Qing’s words were arrogant, but Zhu Yuan could feel that his aura was incredibly profound. She guessed he had already broken through to the Twelfth Realm.

"Oh well. Your Cultivation is so high now, there’s not much difference between being in the Taichu Daoist Palace and being outside."

Zhu Yuan felt a hint of regret.

"This is my foundation."

"This planet is called Source Star. I created it by reshaping the soul of the Greed Realm after I destroyed it."

"Not bad, right?" Su Qing asked with a smile.

"It’s indeed impressive. There’s an aura wafting through the air no weaker than Dao Path Power. If one were to absorb it and cultivate, it might be possible to achieve something like the Immortal Palace Cultivation Method."

"Something like that."

Su Qing nodded.

’Source Star is completely filled with Spiritual Qi, of course it’s good.’

With such good Spiritual Qi, everything grew lush and vibrant, brimming with life.

"Want to go out and have some fun?" Zhu Yuan was still quite playful.

But Su Qing shook his head. "No, I have to continue my Cultivation. I’m at a critical stage."

After a moment’s thought, Su Qing took out most of the wine from his Micro Acupoint World.

He gave it to Zhu Yuan. "This is all Tier Ten wine. I have too much of it, so you can have it all. Cultivate well."

"So much? I can’t possibly accept all this." Zhu Yuan was stunned. There were nearly a thousand jars of wine.

Every single one was Tier Ten wine, which would certainly be helpful to a Tenth Realm Cultivator. And Su Qing had just given her so much at once.

She felt she hadn’t earned it.

"It’s fine. If you think it’s too much, just give some to Bai Di and Yu Hu when you see them."

"I need to get back to my Cultivation."

Su Qing smiled.

Zhu Yuan watched as Su Qing vanished from where he stood.

She was surprised he had left so abruptly.

But Su Qing hadn’t actually left.

Instead, he had fully dedicated himself to refining the Healing Elixir.

Zhu Yuan’s timing had been a coincidence; otherwise, she wouldn’t have seen Su Qing at all.

All Su Qing wanted now was to break through.

After half a year of refining the elixir, once his body was fully repaired...

He appeared beside the Immortal Enlightenment Tree King.

Breakthrough.

This time, Su Qing would see if he could finally succeed.

The time he spent on the breakthrough passed in a flash.

It was merely a decade or so.

But once again, Su Qing’s Immortal Blood reversed its flow, and his aura grew unstable.

His aura weakened considerably again.

’It seems to be just like the Void Realm, forbidding me from breaking through, even in my ethereal state.’

’It seems the Star Sea simply refuses to grant permission.’

Su Qing understood now.

’I still have to break through on my own terms.’

This was the fifteenth time.

’Only fifteen more to go.’

’I can succeed.’

’I must reach the Thirteenth Realm.’

He continued to attempt his breakthrough.

Back to the grind.

’It’s only fifteen more times, after all.’

And so, Su Qing slowly arrived at his twenty-ninth failed attempt.

"Hahaha!"

「Another one hundred fifty years passed.」

Su Qing had finally ground his way to the final attempt.

"From this day forward, I will be in the Thirteenth Realm!"

Su Qing roared to the heavens, his voice thundering with immense resentment.

After nearly four hundred years spent trying to break through, the depth of his suppressed frustration matched the intensity of his hatred for the Star Sea Tree.

If the fate of the entire Star Sea hadn’t been at stake...

...Su Qing truly wanted to sever the very foundation of the Star Sea with a single slash of his sword.

Then, Su Qing vanished almost instantly.

He arrived in the Void Realm.

He took an Elixir.

He began to heal his injuries.

’This time, there will be no mistakes.’

’There will be no failure.’

Su Qing believed in the power of Standardization.

Why was Su Qing in the Void Realm?

It was because he could not allow anyone to disturb his breakthrough.

...

...

But Su Qing’s roar to the heavens...

...had caused a massive commotion.

Many people wondered why their Ancestor had suddenly roared, shouting about breaking through to some "Thirteenth Realm."

Only the high-level Cultivators of Jianmu understood how profound this Realm was.

The Thirteenth Realm.

That was the Realm of a true god within the Star Sea.

A being beyond reproach from any living creature.

Word of this event seemed to have also spread quickly to the Taichu Daoist Palace.

Even Taichu was startled by Su Qing’s cry, opening her eyes and looking in his direction.

But there was no one there.

Su Qing was gone.

Taichu searched but could not find even a phantom of Su Qing.

Suddenly, Taichu saw someone arrive at Source Star.

Black Abyss.

’Black Abyss was stirred as well?’

’Is he really breaking through to the Thirteenth Realm?’

’Let him break through, then. In the end, he will still be bound by it.’ Taichu’s eyes shifted slightly as she recalled that Su Qing could refine a Tier Thirteen Dao Artifact even while only in the Twelfth Realm.

She suddenly found herself looking forward to it, wondering if that man would break through to the Thirteenth Realm without using the method of Merging Dao.

The former was incredibly simple, but the latter was even more difficult than destroying the Star Sea itself.

After all, the latter method required shattering the very Laws of the Star Sea to reach the true Thirteenth Realm.

Black Abyss arrived on Source Star.

But she saw no trace of Su Qing. She looked doubtfully toward the Star Sea Tree. ’Qing... he isn’t going to destroy the Star Sea Tree, is he?’

But a long time passed.

And the Star Sea Tree showed no signs of change.

Black Abyss breathed an internal sigh of relief.

It seemed Su Qing hadn’t actually gone to destroy the Star Sea Tree.

Otherwise, dealing with the Black Abyss Flower Demons would take a very long time.

Black Abyss left as well.

Su Qing’s voice seemed to have dissipated.

The new Thirteenth Realm expert did not seem to appear.

However, none of this was a concern for the vast majority of beings in the Star Sea.

「Two years passed.」

Su Qing had finally finished repairing his body.

There were no hidden injuries.

Su Qing smiled faintly.

His expression turned serious.

He once again activated the Infinite Immortal Breakthrough Method.

The all-too-familiar breakthrough method...

...was pushed to its absolute limit by Su Qing.

Perhaps it was due to the effect of Standardization, but this time...

...Su Qing’s breakthrough was incomparably smooth.

The chaotic, phantom-like power born from his failed breakthroughs was reshaped once more.

It scattered throughout his entire body, including his soul.

At the same time.

His soul and his physical body began to sublimate simultaneously.

Both were slowly growing larger.

They radiated a brilliant light.

All of Su Qing’s powers began to erupt.

The Divine Techniques of his physical body and the power of his constitution, in particular, all began to ascend.

Star Flame coiled through the Cosmos, and the Power of Time made this region of the Void Realm seem to freeze and stutter.

Countless powers surged.

The Immortal Realm within his body projected outward as a phantasmal image.

His surroundings transformed to resemble an Immortal Realm, especially his Primordial Dao Field Divine Technique.

It stretched across the Cosmos, an immortal miracle beyond all reach.

This phenomenon persisted.

This breakthrough took Su Qing a long time, as he focused on sublimating his very essence.

He was not a Dao Path Cultivator, nor did he use Merging Dao to break through to the Thirteenth Realm.

His body and mind were becoming Wuji.

He was becoming the one spoken of in the breakthrough method: the Wuji Immortal!

Su Qing’s power slowly gathered.

It coalesced into a completely new form.

It was the form of a cosmic Immortal Transformation, visualized in Su Qing’s own image.

Seated cross-legged in the Cosmos, its entire body was composed of the Immortal Realm. Inside, Su Qing’s eyes were closed, his head tilted to rest on one hand, a smile playing on his lips.

It was an indescribable posture.

This was his state after the final breakthrough.

After sixty-eight years, Su Qing had broken through to the Thirteenth Realm.

The Dao Transformation Realm, which could also be called the Realm of the Wuji Immortal.

The enormous immortal phantom slowly shrank, retracting into Su Qing’s body.

At this very moment.

Su Qing’s Realm had reached the Thirteenth Realm.

All the arts he had mastered now rose and fell with a single thought.

Most importantly, Su Qing’s path also contained the Power of Time.

He realized that only at the Thirteenth Realm could one achieve a true Time Pause. What he could do at Dao Fruit Perfection had merely been a pseudo-Time Pause technique.

A grin spread across Su Qing’s lips. "I finally did it."
