Chapter 564 - 562: The Little Flying Car Was Stolen

Chapter 564: Chapter 562: The Little Flying Car Was Stolen

But not long after the Array Plate was placed there,

Duanmu Shangjiu teleported over.

"Senior."

"Mm."

"Your people who leave shouldn’t bother returning. I’ve set up an Array Plate."

"I don’t want to deal with the trouble of your clan coming and going."

"So, anyone who leaves must find their own way back in. If they can’t, they stay out."

Su Qing said flatly.

On his own turf,

he could afford to be firm.

Duanmu Shangjiu was taken aback. She hadn’t expected something like this to happen.

Now, several members of her clan were trapped outside.

"This one time, I’ll make an exception. I won’t help you next time," Su Qing said, looking at the few Duanmu Family members in the sky.

He opened the Array, letting the few people in.

"Thank you, Senior," Duanmu Shangjiu said with a bow.

"If there’s nothing else, you’re dismissed." Su Qing still had his own things to do.

"This junior takes her leave." Duanmu Shangjiu teleported away.

He finally had a place to call his own.

Living in the Star Sea was quite nice.

It suited an existence like Su Qing’s, who preferred to just coast.

「Three years later.」

Su Qianyou returned.

She looked very unhappy, which meant something must have happened.

"What’s wrong?" Su Qing asked, puzzled.

Su Qing’s Skill Level was only at one-third, and he still needed a long time to improve himself.

Su Qing noticed Su Qianyou’s unhappiness, but he also noticed her Cultivation.

In three years, she had gone from the Divinity Transformation to the Tribulation Crossing Realm.

She had leaped two entire Realms.

Her Cultivation speed was truly fast.

"My Little Flying Car was stolen," Su Qianyou said.

"It was that thing under the big tree over there. Its true form is a great snake. It snatched my Little Flying Car."

"Oh?"

He hadn’t expected Su Qianyou to have gone to the Star Sea Tree.

Nor did he expect the Star Sea Tree to be completely unaware of Su Qianyou’s situation.

"Hahaha," Su Qing chuckled lightly.

"If the Little Flying Car is gone, it’s gone." Su Qing wasn’t concerned about such things.

The Little Flying Car was just a Tier Thirteen Dao Artifact he had casually refined and synthesized.

If he wanted the Little Flying Car to stop working, it would stop working.

"I had just gotten over there, and I let my guard down for a moment when that great snake snatched the Little Flying Car. It even tried to kill me."

"The Cloak saved me, and I used it to get back."

"???"

"From the Star... the big tree, you made it back in just over three years?" Su Qing was astonished.

Even if Su Qianyou had flown nonstop at her Tribulation Crossing Realm, it would have taken her thousands of years to get back here.

From here, it looked close, but flying there would teach you the true meaning of "distances are deceiving."

"Mhm."

"Little Huo helped me get back."

Hearing this explanation, Su Qing shook his head and sighed. "In that case, just stay here and cultivate."

"Honestly, this part of the cosmos isn’t as simple as you think. Wait until you reach the Immortal Realm before you go wandering around again."

"Don’t worry about the Little Flying Car."

"You go cultivate. I’ll handle what happens next with the Little Flying Car."

Su Qing’s gaze fell upon the Synthesizer panel. He found the Little Flying Car and was just about to disable it with a thought.

But then, he had a realization.

’This is karma.’

’It owes me a karmic debt now.’

’I don’t owe it anything. It took my Little Flying Car. I don’t care if it’s a snake or a Dragon—it’s the one that owes me karma, not the other way around. That’s all that matters.’

’Go ahead and take it. It’s not like I’m short on a few Little Flying Cars.’

Su Qing thought no more of it. If all the karmic debts Su Qing owed were this easy to repay, how wonderful would that be.

He would much rather have others owe him karmic debts than be in debt to them.

"So, can I still have a Little Flying Car to go out?"

"No," Su Qing said, shaking his head.

"You can already fly so fast. Just have your Little Huo help you fly."

"If I give you a Little Flying Car to use, it’ll just get stolen again."

Su Qing pondered for a moment. "How about this: whatever Realm you cultivate to, I’ll give you a Little Flying Car with a speed that matches your Realm."

"Okay, I won’t drive the Little Flying Car then."

"Little Huo burned that great snake."

"I’ll go get the Little Flying Car back later."

"..." Su Qing paused when he heard that.

He pinched his fingers together for a quick calculation.

The result was clear. This matter really did involve a tiny bit of karma for Su Qing.

If Su Qianyou were to retrieve the Little Flying Car, then Su Qing would be entangled in karma.

But Su Qianyou wouldn’t!

’Damn it.’

"That Little Flying Car, just let it have it. Don’t go get it back. A Little Flying Car is not that useful to me, you know?" Su Qing vigorously ruffled Su Qianyou’s hair. ’This girl, why is she always thinking of ways to get me tangled up in more karma?’

"No, that’s Brother’s thing!" Su Qianyou said stubbornly.

"..."

"There’s no need!" Su Qing shook his head, pulling Su Qianyou by the hand to sit on the ground beside him.

"Doing that will bring karma to me."

"You can’t do that. For your brother, this is a bad thing. So if we give it the Little Flying Car, it’s given."

"Karma?"

Su Qianyou thought for a moment. "Is it because I want to get Brother’s Little Flying Car back?"

"But it was the one that stole Brother’s Little Flying Car in the first place."

"But your Little Huo burned it to death. Isn’t it a tragedy for a life to be lost just for you to reclaim something that was already yours?"

"If you go and take back the Little Flying Car, the karma will fall onto your brother."

"To me, I can have as many Little Flying Cars as I want."

"You absolutely cannot go get that Little Flying Car. If you want one, I’ll build you another, but you can’t take that one back."

"Huh? Is that how it is? So as long as I don’t get the Little Flying Car, it’ll be okay?"

"Of course. That way, the karma isn’t on me, and it isn’t on you," Su Qing nodded hastily.

Making a Little Flying Car was a simple matter for him.

For Su Qing, it was only a bit troublesome at the very beginning.

Now, he probably didn’t even need to synthesize a Little Flying Car; as long as he had the materials, Su Qing could build a Tier Thirteen Little Flying Car himself.

"Alright then, I won’t go get the Little Flying Car," Su Qianyou agreed, being quite obedient.

"That’s right. From now on, kill less and focus on improving your Cultivation. Your Little Huo will help you solve everything."

"Okay."

"Go cultivate. You’re just a little bit away from reaching the Immortal Realm."

"Brother, I want to look at some other Cultivation Techniques."

"Other Cultivation Techniques?" Su Qing thought for a moment and manifested a small library. It was filled with all the knowledge from the Taichu Daoist Palace, including many Immortal Scriptures.

"Go ahead and look. These are the Cultivation Techniques I study myself. If they don’t work for you, go find a faction. You can learn from them secretly or join them, it doesn’t matter. As long as you learn the skills."

This was all the help Su Qing could offer.

There were other Cultivation Techniques that Su Qing was unwilling to give Su Qianyou.

Su Qianyou could cultivate them, but she definitely had her own path to walk.

But he didn’t want to show Su Qianyou the Techniques he had once cultivated.

The matter of the Synthesizer was too significant. It would be bad if Su Qianyou noticed that the Cultivation Techniques might have some unusual characteristics.

Gifting her the Daoist Initial Cultivation Method was already an act of great benevolence.

Normally, Su Qing would only give such a Cultivation Technique to people he trusted one hundred percent, or to beings produced by the Synthesizer.

Techniques should not be taught lightly; this was the very meaning of that principle.

Even if Su Qing had passed on the Great Dao Cultivation Method from before, what use would it be?

Even the Immortal Enlightenment Tree King found it difficult to comprehend the Daoist Initial Cultivation Method.

For an ordinary person to comprehend the Great Dao Cultivation Method would be even more difficult.

They might not be able to comprehend it in their entire lifetime.

Therefore, this whole "Shared Grand Thousand" was simply an impossible task.

If it were that simple, there wouldn’t be so few beings in the Grand Thousand Realm.

He wondered who it was he was supposed to be "sharing" the Grand Thousand with.

Su Qing’s thoughts turned to Su Qianyou again.

From the very beginning, she had not been involved in any karma; she had avoided it completely.

If, in the end, she only formed karmic ties with a few living beings, then this "Shared Grand Thousand" would be very simple indeed.

Moreover, if she never got involved in karma from start to finish,

then breaking through to the Grand Thousand Realm would be a matter of course.
