Chapter 541: Chapter 539: Breaking into the Star Sea Tree, Injured

"..."

Su Qing awoke.

Something felt profoundly wrong.

He felt as if he were in some indescribable environment.

All around were chaotic torrents of Time.

His senses were seriously malfunctioning.

He felt as if countless straight lines were flowing before him.

He could feel them in every direction.

Crucially, it was as if a film separated him from these lines, preventing him from touching them.

’Wasn’t I in the Void Realm?’

Su Qing’s mind was in chaos.

’I remember now. I absorbed the Eternal Dao Chaotic Immortal Qi?’

’Could this state be a power granted by the Eternal Dao Chaotic Immortal Qi?’

Whether he used his perception or his eyes to look,

all he saw was a riot of color.

The countless straight lines were like writhing maggots, squirming before him.

At first, it was a truly difficult sight to accept.

After watching for a while,

Su Qing realized that these maggot-like lines,

were the space-time lines of the Star Sea Tree. He didn’t dare follow them to their origin or end.

He didn’t think his current self could contend with the Star Sea Tree.

Host: Su Qing

Realm: Dao Transformation Realm [Great Dao Cultivation Method: Dao Transformation (Perfection)]

’I knew I’d reached Perfection. I just took a look at my status panel,’ Su Qing thought.

’It seems I was unconscious for a long time.’

’No, wait. Why don’t I break through to the Grand Thousand Realm right here?’

’I’ve already reached Perfection.’

’I even have the breakthrough method.’

’And I’m still inside the Void Realm.’

’To be safe, I should be able to break through without any issues.’

Without hesitation, Su Qing sat down cross-legged.

A short while later,

after his aura stabilized,

Su Qing frowned.

’It’s no good. Every time, I can faintly sense the Star Sea Tree’s presence.’

’It’s affecting my Heart Spirit.’

’Besides, I can’t break through in the Void Realm.’

’Don’t tell me I have to try synthesizing Standardization again?’

Su Qing looked at the surrounding space-time lines of the Star Sea Tree.

’Replicate the breakthrough method to the Fourteenth Realm one time.’

After chanting this silently, he promptly fainted.

Su Qing’s last thought was, ’Why... why does replicating the breakthrough method to the Fourteenth Realm consume so much energy...?’

After he fell, the Eternal Dao Chaotic Immortal Qi within him began to remake his body and soul with even greater vigor.

Even his Immortal Domain Dao Foundation was reshaped.

The Immortal Gene, now tainted by the Eternal Dao Chaotic Immortal Qi, unexpectedly differentiated into infinite Immortal Domain Dao Foundations within Su Qing’s body, constructing Space-Time Veins inside the Immortal Domain Dao Foundation.

...

...

’How long was I out this time?’

Su Qing’s vision was clear. Looking out from the Void Realm, all he could see was the Breath of Chaos.

He couldn’t see anything clearly, as if he had gone blind.

’The Eternal Dao Chaotic Immortal Qi has actually finished refining?’

’It seems I was unconscious for a very long time this time around.’

Su Qing could now freely control the Eternal Dao Chaotic Immortal Qi deep within his soul.

Although there was only a single wisp of it, Su Qing felt this aura was even more powerful than himself.

’Hm?’

’My Immortal Domain Dao Foundation!’

’What happened to my Immortal Domain Dao Foundation?’

As Su Qing perceived his Immortal Domain Dao Foundation, a sort of god’s-eye view appeared to him.

This god’s-eye view made Su Qing dizzy and nauseous, because his Immortal Domain Dao Foundation had somehow begun to differentiate into Space-Time Veins, similar to the Star Sea Tree.

Countless Space-Time Veins would absorb Immortal Qi and then faintly differentiate into a new world.

The feeling was even more sickening than the sight of the Star Sea Tree’s countless Space-Time Veins.

But Su Qing forced himself to endure the discomfort and continue observing.

A long time later,

Su Qing finally let out a sigh of relief. ’My Immortal Realm has differentiated countless times, but things like Immortal Stones remain the same. The number of Immortal Stones won’t suddenly increase just because the worlds do.’

’It seems I can’t escape the weight of causality either.’

Su Qing withdrew his gaze. He had watched for a long time, but he still found it difficult to understand what had happened to his Immortal Domain Dao Foundation.

’Was this the work of the Eternal Dao Chaotic Immortal Qi?’

’This situation... this should only be achievable by someone in the Grand Thousand Realm.’

’It seems this synthesized Talent, the Eternal Chaotic Immortal Qi, is quite useful after all.’

Su Qing could feel the changes within himself.

Even at Dao Transformation Realm Perfection,

the sudden change in his Immortal Foundation had deepened his understanding of the various Great Daos.

Most importantly,

Su Qing could now reverse a tiny bit of Time.

It was only within a limited range, however.

But this was still a massive step forward.

’Time to go find the Star Sea Tree.’

Su Qing had no desire to stay in the Chaos World. To him, the environment here was like a bewildering fog; he had no idea what the Chaos World truly looked like.

’The Star Sea Tree... If possible, I’ll cut off one of its space-time lines.’

It wasn’t that Su Qing didn’t want to break through.

He had no way to break through to the Fourteenth Realm.

As he was now, he didn’t know if he could withstand the Breath of Chaos.

If he could withstand it, he might be able to break through.

Su Qing pondered this for a moment.

’First, I need to get inside the Star Sea Tree.’

Su Qing still wanted to enter one of the Star Sea Tree’s space-time trunks.

He wanted to observe how the Star Sea Tree had broken through to the Grand Thousand Realm.

After all, while the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Realms sounded close, they were completely different.

Take these space-time lines for example.

Before breaking through to the Thirteenth Realm, Su Qing couldn’t sense or touch them at all.

Only after breaking through to the Thirteenth Realm did everything feel so dissonant.

Of course, some of the credit for that belonged to the Star Sea Tree.

It had shown Su Qing the true face of the Star Sea.

Su Qing now used the Great Dao Immortal Eye Technique.

In an instant,

Su Qing located the Star Sea Tree’s true space-time trunk, hidden amongst the countless space-time lines.

"Finally found it."

Su Qing smiled.

He moved through the Void Realm.

He hadn’t expected the Eternal Dao Chaotic Immortal Qi to be able to empower his Magic. Su Qing had originally planned to approach the Star Sea Tree first.

But to his surprise, he had located the Star Sea Tree’s true space-time trunk in one go.

The Star Sea Tree had many true space-time trunks.

But there was only one at the very center.

Su Qing moved through the Void Realm,

until he arrived at the Star Sea Tree’s sole central space-time trunk.

Su Qing controlled the White Cloak’s Void Realm.

And exited.

Daluo Step.

Immediately, the Breath of Chaos surged in from all directions.

Eternal Dao Chaotic Immortal Qi.

With Chaotic Immortal Qi emanating from his entire body, Su Qing resembled an Immortal Deity.

’This won’t work. This Talent of mine can’t last long in the Chaos World.’

Su Qing could clearly feel his body being wildly devoured by the Eternal Dao Chaotic Immortal Qi.

He could stand his ground in the Chaos World.

But the price was a bit steep!

’Forget it. I’ll grab nine wisps of the Breath of Chaos first.’ Su Qing took the Breath of Chaos and headed for the Star Sea Tree’s space-time trunk.

With a single Daluo Step, he stepped inside.

The Star Sea Tree detected him almost instantly.

Su Qing tried to step into the Void Realm.

"Begone—"

An indescribable voice boomed as a terrifying impact wave struck.

Even with one foot already in the Void Realm, Su Qing was severely injured. The Eternal Dao Chaotic Immortal Qi, no longer supported by his power, weakened and retreated back inside him.

As he had wished, Su Qing arrived in a branch of the Star Sea Tree’s true space-time trunk.

But also, as might be expected, he fainted.

He collapsed to the ground.

Su Qing had gotten one foot into the Void Realm, but had not entered it completely.

Fortunately, the White Cloak was undamaged. As Su Qing fell, it pulled him into the Void Realm.

"Why can’t anyone else see that person who fell from the sky?"

The speaker was a raggedly dressed little girl, her face and any exposed skin covered in dark purple, burn-like scars.

She was just a little girl, only about five or six years old.

She was a beggar.
