Chapter 537 - 535: Destroying the Star Sea

Chapter 537: Chapter 535: Destroying the Star Sea

Su Qing finally put down the book.

It seemed the Star Sea wasn’t intentionally targeting him.

It was simply because it couldn’t allow Su Qing to advance to the Thirteenth Realm.

So then.

Su Qing thought for a moment.

He arrived under the lush canopy of the Immortal Enlightenment Tree King.

But surprisingly, a small child was off to the side, digging in the dirt.

channeling a stream of water.

"Master." The Immortal Enlightenment Tree King immediately manifested a phantom image.

He bowed to Su Qing.

"Long time no see, Tree King."

"What’s with this little child?"

Su Qing was puzzled. The child was actually a sapling.

"This is a seed that fell from the Star Sea. It just happened to land here, so I’m nurturing it."

"It’s just a common shade-grass seed, but fate brought it to me." The Tree King smiled as he looked at the little child.

"Indeed, it seems fated," Su Qing nodded.

"Have there been any changes on Source Star?"

"Of course not. Besides, I’ve already reached Tenth-Cultivation, and Jianmu is also approaching the Tenth Realm and is about to break through. Source Star will only become safer,"

the Tree King said with immense confidence.

Su Qing nodded silently.

’It’s good that nothing has happened,’ he thought.

"Has anyone come looking for me?"

"Yes. First a man, then a woman. Both were at the Tenth Realm."

"After that, no one."

Su Qing glanced at the child, then suddenly walked over and picked it up.

The child looked terrified. "Grandpa, a bad guy is grabbing me!"

"What bad guy? That’s your grandpa’s master," the Tree King scolded with a stern face.

Hearing this, the child stopped struggling. It could tell this person was even stronger than its grandpa, so crying would be useless.

It was just a little blade of grass...

’What can I do? I can only accept my fate,’ it thought.

"Why were you channeling water here?"

"Because I wanted a drink of water," the child replied obediently.

"Then... why dig a smaller ditch inside the main one?" Su Qing asked, confused.

"Because the rivers in the book looked like this, so I wanted to dig a ditch that looked the same."

The Tree King laughed. "Silly child, with such a tiny ditch, the water will just soak into the ground before it gets anywhere. How could a ditch that small hold any water?"

"I understand, Grandpa. I’ll just dig one ditch then," the child said weakly from Su Qing’s arms.

Su Qing put the little tyke back on the ground.

"Quite a chubby little kid. Did you enlighten it?"

"And even let it take human form."

"Yes, Master."

"It’s a pity its foundation is too weak."

"That’s alright. I can slowly improve its foundation," the Tree King said with a simple, honest smile.

Su Qing nodded. "I see. I’ll be heading back now."

In a flash, Su Qing vanished.

Only then did the child dare to walk to the Tree King’s feet. "Grandpa, who was that? He felt so powerful."

"That was your grandpa’s Creator. He’s incredibly strong."

"Don’t do anything to make Master unhappy. He’s an easy person to talk to."

"Understand?"

"Mhm, I know. I won’t upset the Lord."

"Heh, so you know how to say ’Lord’ now."

"Tell me, where did you learn that?"

"I heard it somewhere..."

"If you don’t tell me the truth, I’ll punish you by making you grow in one spot for ten years."

"No! I stole a book and read it."

"I’ve told you not to steal! You’re asking for a spanking!"

...

...

Su Qing returned to the small courtyard he had purchased.

He was pondering something with great confusion.

He repeatedly took out the Dao Artifact, Palm of Time.

’Is the Grand Thousand Realm really that powerful?’

The Grand Thousand Realm is the Fourteenth Realm, and the Great Dao Realm is the Fifteenth Realm.

—

Host: Su Qing

Realm: Dao Transformation Realm [Great Dao Cultivation Method: Dao Transformation (123/720,000)]

—

’Seven hundred twenty thousand Skill Level points... It’s been a few years, but even with it running on its own, the progress has slowed down a lot.’

’Even though my aptitude doubled after my last breakthrough.’

’The rate of improvement has still slowed.’

Fortunately, with his Poison Absorption Body, Su Qing didn’t have to worry about the slow increase in Skill Level.

’What exactly is the Grand Thousand Realm like?’ Su Qing wondered silently.

Ever since he broke through to the Thirteenth Realm, he’d had a strong sense of dissonance.

But nothing strange had actually happened around him.

So Su Qing had no way of knowing what this change was.

In short, there was just this intense feeling of dissonance.

It all started after Su Qing broke through to the Thirteenth Realm.

The appearance of Black Abyss, and then later, Su Qing’s attempt to destroy the Star Sea Tree.

The fact that the Star Sea Tree did absolutely nothing was the most important point.

And the strangest.

After all, that was the Star Sea Tree.

It was also known as the Great Thousand Worlds; it definitely had to be related to the Grand Thousand Realm.

Even when being devoured by the Seven Kings, the Star Sea Tree made no move.

As Su Qing thought about this,

he had a sudden realization.

’Wait a minute. The last time I made a move, what about the Seven Kings who were devouring the Star Sea Tree?’

’Why didn’t they attack me?’

’Unless...’ Su Qing thought of a possibility.

But he wasn’t sure.

After all, he felt it was unlikely.

He didn’t think the gap between the Dao Transformation Realm and the Grand Thousand Realm was that large.

Su Qing quietly put his hood back on.

In an instant, he entered the Void Realm.

From within the Void Realm, he rushed toward the Star Sea.

Su Qing knew this might upend the course of the entire world.

But Su Qing didn’t care.

What he had to do was test his theory.

Regardless of the reason.

Su Qing’s speed was incredible. From his location, he was very close to the Star Sea Tree.

In almost an instant, he arrived.

A Profound Immortal Sword appeared in Su Qing’s hand.

The Profound Immortal Sword exuded an indescribable aura.

Su Qing no longer restrained his presence.

"Heaven and Earth!"

Following this, Su Qing transformed into a sacred Immortal Dao Honor, and the Profound Immortal Sword in his hand also transformed into the Dharma Aspect’s weapon.

"Great Dao Swordsmanship."

The moment he executed the Great Dao Swordsmanship,

Su Qing exited the Void Realm. Simultaneously, he activated the Authority of Space-Time from his Cosmic Immortal Transformation Visualization Map and the standardized Time Pause Rule on his Profound Immortal Sword.

The instant Su Qing struck with his sword,

his target was the entire Star Sea Tree.

The sword swept past.

Countless Dao Principles erupted like brilliant, yet terrifying, fireworks.

In that instant, the Star Sea Tree was completely severed by Su Qing’s single sword strike.

Without hesitation, Su Qing’s eyes pierced through to see every existence on the Star Sea Tree.

There was no sign of the Seven Kings.

’The Seven Kings... are gone?’

Su Qing was utterly bewildered, but an even greater puzzle immediately presented itself.

As the Time Pause faded,

the severed Star Sea Tree actually began to wither.

"Where are the Seven Kings?"

Su Qing suddenly roared.

"Seven Kings, get out here!"

The Star Sea Tree made no move.

But the Star Sea was clearly collapsing.

"Qing, what are you doing! You’re destroying the Star Sea!" Within seconds, Black Abyss appeared before Su Qing.

She was no longer her gentle former self; her face was now as cold and sharp as frost.

"Get lost!" Su Qing had no desire to deal with her, and his reply was frigid.

Su Qing was currently in his Heaven and Earth state.

His entire form was nearly as massive as the trunk of the Star Sea Tree.

"I have no wish to be your enemy. Leave."

Su Qing was incomparably cold.

He felt as if the entire world was deceiving him, even Black Abyss.

Among it all, the most incomprehensible thing to Su Qing was that the Seven Kings from his standardized Inference had vanished.

In his last Inference, Su Qing had calculated that if he were to destroy the Star Sea Tree,

he would be stopped by the Seven Kings. But this time, when Su Qing destroyed the Star Sea Tree,

it wasn’t the Seven Kings who appeared. Instead, it was Black Abyss, Taichu, and several Thirteenth-Realm Cultivators whom Su Qing didn’t recognize at all.

The Seven Kings who devoured the Star Sea Tree had vanished!

This was what Su Qing found most unbelievable.

’They’re actually gone.’

Just as he was struggling to believe it,

Black Abyss made her move.

The Fire of Death burned at Su Qing’s Dharma Aspect.

However, it was quickly suppressed by Su Qing’s Power of Time, unable to burn, and even frozen in place.

Su Qing’s gaze fell hauntingly upon Black Abyss.
