My Synthesizer Has Talent

All of this, Su Qing was still unaware.

He had performed an Inference and found that his friends were either in seclusion or away from the Taichu Daoist Palace.

Zhu Yuan was actually on the Star Sea Tree.

That was utterly absurd.

Su Qing had never even tried to go to the Star Sea Tree.

Besides, didn’t the Star Sea Tree possess a powerful force that prevented living beings from approaching?

If Su Qing hadn’t discovered this through Inference, he probably wouldn’t have believed it.

Because Su Qing believed in the power of Standardization.

As for why Zhu Yuan was able to get on the Star Sea Tree, Su Qing didn’t bother to investigate further.

After eating and drinking his fill, Su Qing entered seclusion.

After reaching the Dao Flower Realm, Su Qing discovered something.

Fruits that increased one’s aptitude seemed to be completely useless.

But leaves that enhanced one’s Comprehension were still effective.

’Does this Dao Flower Realm mean I don’t need to focus on my physical body?’

’No, that’s not right. My physical body is also improving, its rate of Growth has just slowed down.’

’Looks like I’ll mainly be eating leaves from now on, with the occasional Standardized fruit.’

Su Qing sighed.

The leaves definitely didn’t taste as good as Spirit Fruits.

He began his seclusion.

...

"Su Qing really showed up."

"Would we lie to you?"

"Fine, I’ll pay you the Taichu Coins later."

...

Yan Jiao’s brow was furrowed as he investigated Su Qing’s past.

His investigation led him to the Jianmu Omniscience Institute.

’Heh, so this is your home world?’

’Su Qing!’

’That young woman, is she your relative?’

Of course, Yan Jiao wouldn’t do anything unbecoming of the Last Life Clan.

His idea was simple.

He would target Su Qing’s home world.

Only an idiot would target his family.

And what would he do after? Gloat smugly in the other’s face?

Beings who had lived for too long didn’t care for such profitless endeavors.

It was pointless. Worse, it would turn Su Qing into a merciless hunter, and given Su Qing’s strength, Yan Jiao had no desire to offend him so brazenly.

What he would do was make it so Su Qing’s home world would find it difficult to develop.

Or rather, he’d just increase the difficulty of its development by several hundred times.

With his influence as a member of the Last Life Clan, it was more than enough.

Moreover, as long as Yan Jiao gave a subtle hint, most factions would target the Jianmu Omniscience Institute.

...

’This isn’t the will of my Last Life Clan.’

’It’s just that the other factions are all very eager to target the Jianmu Omniscience Institute.’

...

Only a few days had passed.

Su Qing let out a long breath.

He took out the seed of the Immortal Enlightenment Tree King, completely bewildered.

The seed of the Immortal Enlightenment Tree King had recently been flickering with Immortal Qi.

It seemed to be sending Su Qing a message.

’Is it trying to tell me something?’

Su Qing began to perform a divination with his fingers.

Soon, his Inference revealed what was happening.

It turned out that Jianmu had landed on the Star that Su Qing had created.

There clearly wasn’t enough to go around, and just as the Immortal Enlightenment Tree King was about to fight for its share, it found itself surrounded by enemies.

Subsequently, the Tree King and Jianmu joined forces to resist them.

’How could they be under so much attack?’

’It’s impossible!’ Su Qing was baffled.

This was the most abnormal part.

Su Qing performed another Inference.

Was some being stirring up trouble?

There really was.

Who was the mastermind behind it all?

Yan Jiao!

Damn it!

That damn Dragon, he’d been quiet, but he was secretly planning something big.

The ancestors were right.

The dogs that bite don’t bark.

Finally, Su Qing performed one more Inference.

Had these people attacking the Jianmu Omniscience Institute and the Immortal Enlightenment Tree King been directly ordered by Yan Jiao?

In the end, it was clear they had not.

How despicable.

This made it very difficult to target Yan Jiao.

Although Su Qing really wanted to just go and strike Yan Jiao’s clan with his sword, he held back.

To go and kill off a member of the Last Life Clan without cause or reason... in that situation, it would only make the other Last Life Clans want to eliminate Su Qing.

Because Su Qing’s strength was not yet great enough.

If he were in the Thirteenth Realm, what would be the big deal in eliminating a Last Life Clan member? Who could possibly stop him then?

But if Su Qing, while only in the Eleventh Realm, eliminated a Last Life Clan member, then he would become a target of covetous eyes.

This was what power was all about.

A weapon is, in the end, just a weapon.

In essence, it was still a matter of strength.

’Yan Jiao.’

’Just you wait.’

Su Qing would have time to deal with him later.

Right now, Su Qing had to go defend his Star.

No matter what, Jianmu was still a foundation for Su Qing in the Star Sea.

Su Qing rose to his feet.

He silently left the Taichu Daoist Palace.

This time, no being tried to stop Su Qing from going to the Jianmu Omniscience Institute.

「After several days」

Su Qing finally arrived at the Jianmu Omniscience Institute.

His own Star was scarred.

Damn it!

There were still several factions attacking the Jianmu Omniscience Institute.

If not for the protection of the Immortal Enlightenment Tree King and Jianmu, all the living beings on it would probably be dead.

Su Qing was furious.

His eyes burned with fire.

"Stop!" Su Qing roared, using the Taichu Language.

Every being on the battlefield froze in place.

It wasn’t because Su Qing’s voice held power.

It was because Su Qing had literally made them all stop.

None of them could move.

Su Qing’s gaze was fiery.

He let out a cold snort.

He looked at the strongest individuals from each faction.

Su Qing brought them all before him.

Their faces were filled with terror as they stared at Su Qing.

"I don’t care who you are or where you’re from."

"Go back to where you came from."

"If any other faction dares to invade..."

Su Qing said flatly, his expression blank, "I will annihilate their entire clan."

All the beings from the invading factions were utterly baffled.

The few Path of Cultivation Cultivators before Su Qing were released from their spatial bonds.

They were all smart people.

"Thank you, Your Excellency. We were just hired muscle."

"I’ll say it once: go back to where you came from."

Su Qing didn’t want to hear another word.

"The next time invaders come, I will annihilate their clan."

"The Last Life Clan?"

"Heh~ I just haven’t caught them red-handed yet. You’re just their lackeys."

Su Qing sneered.

With a wave of his hand, all of them vanished from the spot.

The reason he let them go was so they could deliver a message.

If anyone truly dared to invade next time, Su Qing would show no mercy.

He would follow the threads of fate and slaughter their entire clans.

Leaving no one alive.

He’d already been a Demon before, anyway.

What was the harm in being one again?

If he didn’t show his might, did they really think Su Qing was some random pushover?

Wasn’t the whole reason he pursued Cultivation to avoid being bullied?

"Tree King, that’s enough. Rest and recover. I will stand guard here for several years."

Su Qing bestowed a few bursts of Growth upon the Tree King.

He bestowed a burst of Growth upon Jianmu.

Then, he went to the trunk of the Tree King and sat cross-legged to cultivate.

He created a clone of himself and sent it out to deal with matters.

There were still a few people waiting outside.

After Su Qing’s clone moved away from the Immortal Enlightenment Tree King’s trunk, they found him.

"Ancestor," said Ke Hongmei, who was leading the others.

"Mm, let’s talk."

"Su Shang, come here," Su Qing said, spotting a certain young woman before speaking to her.

"Brother Su... Su." Now that she was older, she had become a bit shy.

Besides, she had just seen the appearance of Su Qing’s true body.

That fiery red mark between his brows was truly hard to conceal.

Though it was hidden now.

"This Star, I’ll call it Source Star."

"The beings on Jianmu can live and multiply here."

"Also, I will stand guard here for several years."

"These beings are basically targeting me."

"Ke Hongmei, you should know that some matters can’t be resolved with simple, brute force."

"Jiang Zhaozhu, you should know this as well. You’re the smartest one here," Su Qing sighed.

"That’s all I’ll say on the matter."

"Su Shang, come with me." Su Qing led Su Shang back to the vicinity of the Immortal Enlightenment Tree King.

After stepping into a certain domain, Su Shang clearly felt her mind become incredibly clear.
