Chapter 543: Chapter 541: 2 Days to Comprehend 1 Cultivation Technique

Su Qing went out.

And by "out," he meant he *really* went out.

He left the Continent.

And flew up into the starry sky.

"A Continent this vast... It’s hard to even imagine..."

Su Qing mused. The Continent before him was even larger than the entire Taichu Daoist Palace. More importantly, it was comparable in size to the illusory trunk of the Star Sea Tree.

It was truly immense.

’It must have deviated from the true spatiotemporal trunk of the Star Sea Tree. After all, I was discovered.’

Su Qing fell silent for a moment.

He returned to the Continent and secretly began learning the local language.

It was simple enough. All he had to do was hover above a school and eavesdrop for a full day.

’Now I should be able to communicate, right?’

’But the peak combat power on this Continent is a little ridiculous. There are actually Tenth Realm beings here.’

Su Qing returned to the temple.

He found the little girl was gone.

"Huh?" Su Qing let out a surprised sound.

He had thought the little girl lived here.

"Where did she go?" Su Qing searched for her.

"Ah, so she just went for a walk."

"But..." Su Qing’s gaze drifted toward the distance, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

...

"Little one, I see your bone structure is extraordinary, and you possess great innate Talent. You are surely a prime candidate for Cultivation."

"Would you like to come cultivate with me?"

An old Daoist smiled with what looked like benevolence. He wanted to take the little girl’s hand and lead her away.

But he had already tried that a moment ago, and a searing pain still lingered in his hand.

’It’s true, then. The rumors in the city were right. This little girl possesses a special fate. If I take her and refine her into a Human Pill...’

’...I might just be able to cheat death.’

Heh heh~

As these vile thoughts crossed the old Daoist’s mind,

the little beggar girl seemed uninterested.

More importantly, she hadn’t learned the language and couldn’t understand him.

She wasn’t going to go.

The little beggar girl shook her head and turned to leave.

How could the old Daoist give up so easily?

"Trying to leave? You’re coming with me."

The old Daoist’s lifespan was nearing its end. He lunged forward and grabbed the girl’s shoulder, intending to drag her away.

But he never expected it.

His hand felt as if it were being burned by fire, and he couldn’t hold on at all.

Suddenly, a hand clamped down on his shoulder.

"Where do you think you’re taking her?" Su Qing, now in a fresh set of clothes, stared at the old Daoist with sharp eyes.

With a single glance, Su Qing could tell this man had committed countless filthy deeds.

Furthermore, he was rife with murky qi, and the dense aura of humans clung to him.

It was an Evil Dao Cultivation Technique. Needless to say, this old Daoist cultivated by devouring people.

The old Daoist looked and saw that this person had appeared behind him without a sound, and he looked so young.

Held in place, he couldn’t move an inch.

This person had to be a Great Cultivator!

’The heavens want me dead!’ The old Daoist cursed his rotten luck.

"Senior, I merely saw that this little beggar was gifted with great talent and wished to nurture her properly."

"My methods were indeed a bit extreme. I beg for Senior’s forgiveness."

"Extreme?" Su Qing gave a meaningful smile.

"My methods can be quite extreme, too."

That was the last sentence the old Daoist ever heard before his consciousness faded into nothingness.

The old Daoist vanished, disintegrated in Su Qing’s hand.

This elicited another "Huh?" from the little girl.

Su Qing found it strangely cute.

Although the little girl’s face was a bit ugly, this was the Standardization of Pure Goodness.

Su Qing took the little girl into his arms.

He asked in the language he had just learned, "Little one, what’s your name?"

"How about I take care of you?"

"Huh?" The naive and innocent little girl looked up at Su Qing with her big eyes.

"..." Su Qing fell silent.

’Looks like she can’t speak. She doesn’t seem to understand, either.’

’Has no one ever taught her how to speak?’

Su Qing couldn’t help but feel a pang of pity for the little girl.

"Do you want me to take care of you?"

Su Qing asked again, but unfortunately, the little girl was already leaning against his shoulder, breathing rhythmically.

"..."

"Whatever, I’m taking care of you anyway."

Su Qing was determined to find out just how powerful this little one was.

She was protected by a Rule that even the Synthesizer couldn’t probe. That was the most ridiculous part.

After all, the Synthesizer was the entire reason for Su Qing’s rapid progress.

For the Synthesizer to now claim that Su Qing’s strength was too low for it to dare and probe meant this little girl was very likely one of the spatiotemporal trunks of some Great Power.

And yet, she didn’t reject Su Qing’s presence.

This was anything but ordinary.

’Could I have been plotted against?’

’No, this is the world of the Star Sea Tree.’

Using a bit of Time, Su Qing transformed the small temple into a private residence.

He carried the little girl back to the small temple.

"Huh?"

The little girl reached out and gently pinched Su Qing’s cheek.

"Little one, what’s with all these scars on your body? I can’t even heal them."

"It seems to be related to your Talent."

"Come on, let me give you a bath."

It was a girl.

Su Qing had only just realized.

Her body, however, was also covered in hideous scars.

But Su Qing acted as if he didn’t see them at all.

He changed the little girl into a new set of clothes.

"It’s nighttime. Time for bed. Go sleep in your own room."

Su Qing finally understood. This was an ordinary little girl who happened to embody a Rule.

But with a Rule protecting her, she was no longer ordinary.

"Tomorrow, I’ll teach you how to talk."

"..."

That night, Su Qing couldn’t sleep at all. He thought about the day’s events and then looked at his Great Dao Cultivation Method, which had reached the Perfection of Dao Transformation.

’The Cultivation Technique for the next two Realms might be severely incomplete.’

’The breakthrough method is also incredibly difficult. I thought it was my own fault.’

’I never expected that even a Cultivation Technique synthesized from the Taichu Cultivation Method would be incomplete.’

’I’ll probably have to synthesize it a few more times before the Cultivation Technique for the next two Realms is complete.’

’Doesn’t this mean I’ll have to cultivate all over again?’

"Huh?"

Su Qing’s train of thought was interrupted. The little girl had somehow crawled onto his lap and was now curled up in his arms, fast asleep.

"..." Su Qing’s face was a mask of question marks. ???

’I’m not exactly a good person, am I? Why is this little girl so attached to me?’

"Oh, well..." Su Qing gently stroked the little girl’s hair. ’I’ll have to put her back in her room later.’

He still needed to synthesize the Great Dao Cultivation Method a few more times.

Su Qing was smarter this time.

He took out the Eternal Stone and the Ash-Burning Dust for the synthesis.

He added the original Great Dao Cultivation Method and four Immortal Stones.

[Synthesis Successful: Immortal Transformation Triggered]

[Eternal Immortal Skill: A Cultivation Technique that allows one to grasp a sliver of the Eternal Rule, leading directly to the Great Dao...]

"..."

One Immortal Transformation. Su Qing considered whether he should do it again.

’Whatever, I’ll extract it first and see.’

Su Qing wondered how much Time this Eternal Immortal Skill would require.

The moment Su Qing extracted it,

he fell into a state of comprehension.

This time, even the Eternal Dao Chaotic Immortal Qi helped him.

And that wasn’t all.

Transparent flames began to burn on the body of the little girl snuggled on Su Qing’s lap, flowing directly into him.

But they didn’t harm Su Qing. Instead, they accelerated his comprehension of the Eternal Immortal Skill.

The little girl actually fell into a deep sleep along with Su Qing for two days.

The Cloak of Goodness even took the initiative to pull Su Qing and the little girl into the Void Realm.

「Two days later.」

Su Qing awoke.

He opened his eyes.

He found the little girl still on his lap. She had also just woken up and was looking at Su Qing with her bright eyes.

Uh...

Su Qing did a quick calculation with his fingers and realized he had successfully comprehended the Eternal Immortal Skill after only two days in this world?

That was truly terrifying.

Even with his aptitude and the help of the Eternal Dao Chaotic Immortal Qi, it should have been impossible to do it so quickly.

It was because of the little girl.

"Hahaha, you really are my little treasure."

"What do you want to eat? I’ll make it for you right now."

At this thought, Su Qing excitedly picked up the little girl and spun her around twice. She was truly a lucky star.

"Huh?" The little girl couldn’t speak. She just gave Su Qing a curious look, wondering why he was picking her up and spinning her around.

...
