Chapter 456 - 454: Returning to the Source Immortal Body
"The gap... Just don’t compare yourselves to me."
Su Qing let out a hearty laugh.
’What’s there to compare?’
’I’m using a cheat, but you guys aren’t.’
’The fact that you all made it to the Taichu Daoist Palace already proves your Talent is immense.’
Su Qing’s confidence was a crushing blow.
However, Bai Di asked a question.
"Where did Zhu Yuan go?"
"Oh?"
"I don’t know the specifics either."
"My Inference showed that she seems to be on the Star Sea Tree," Su Qing said, looking puzzled.
"What?"
"Looks like your Inference was wrong," Yu Hu said, his face a mask of disbelief.
’That’s completely impossible.’
’Besides the Star Race, who else could possibly get on the Star Sea Tree?’
"That’s actually a real possibility," Bai Di mused from the side.
He was reminded of a story.
He had also heard Zhu Yuan call herself a Time Dragon, born of heaven and earth.
"Bai Di, what nonsense are you spouting?"
"How could Zhu Yuan possibly get on the Star Sea Tree?"
"That’s completely impossible, right? Zhu Yuan is a Candle Dragon, not a member of the Star Race,"
Yu Hu asked, confused.
Seeing that the other two seemed to believe this information, he began to have his own doubts.
"I remember."
"Any living being naturally born within the Star Sea, having received its power, will not be rejected by the Star Sea Tree."
"That’s because they share the same Origin as the Star Sea."
"It’s a situation where if one is harmed, both are harmed."
Bai Di explained, "Moreover, Zhu Yuan seems to be a pure Time Dragon born of heaven and earth."
Yu Hu was stunned. The possibility was indeed high.
"Then why didn’t Zhu Yuan go directly to the Star Sea Tree before?"
"I don’t know about that," Bai Di said, shaking his head.
Su Qing also shook his head.
’How could I possibly know?’
’In any case, Zhu Yuan is on the Star Sea Tree.’
"Since you’ve all come to my world,"
"let’s have a meal first."
"Are you cooking?" Bai Di asked doubtfully.
"Mhm."
"I’ll cook."
"It’ll be a little while. It’s not a bad idea to enjoy the flowers here."
"Admiring the flowers sounds good."
"Bai Di, care for a walk?"
Bai Di nodded. "Sure. This world has an abundance of flowers and plants, and the medicinal effects of most of them seem quite peculiar."
"Su Qing is quite a character. Let’s go take a closer look."
"I was thinking the same thing."
...
...
Soon, Su Qing had prepared a few simple dishes.
He called the two of them back.
Su Qing poured each of them a cup of Upper Bell Joy Wine.
"This wine’s aroma is incredible. You can tell it’s a fine vintage just from the scent." As a wine connoisseur, Yu Hu delightedly lifted his cup and took a careful sniff.
Then he slowly took a sip.
"Delicious! It’s even more fragrant than my Luhua Wine."
Bai Di’s interest was piqued as well. He took a sip, but his expression was nonchalant; he wasn’t a wine expert.
He just felt Yu Hu was exaggerating.
Su Qing smiled. "If you like it, drink more."
"Alright."
Bai Di thought for a moment.
He took out a Mechanical Race Photograph Machine.
"Come on, let’s get a picture together."
"Time is always passing. I’d like to have a memento."
"Of course," Yu Hu nodded.
Su Qing also nodded.
"Okay, everyone smile."
Everyone broke into smiles. They were all handsome men, after all.
CLICK.
The Photograph Machine could take still pictures as well as record video.
A moment later, Su Qing held a freshly printed photo in his hand.
He could tell just by the feel of the material that it was made to last.
The three of them chatted about everything under the sun.
They gossiped about the outside world and shared amusing stories from the Taichu Daoist Palace.
Afterward,
they went their separate ways.
’Time is so ephemeral.’
"Sigh..."
Su Qing gazed at the photo in his hand, at the three of them with their smiles frozen in time.
He felt the relentless passage of time.
’Thus it is with all that passes away, not ceasing day or night.’
Su Qing looked at the empty garden.
He couldn’t help but sigh.
The Crystal Core of his Micro Acupoint World appeared in his hand.
He opened a portal to that world.
Xiaoqing popped right out.
"Master?"
"Mhm."
"I’ve opened a passage to this world. The few of you can live here, but do not disturb my arrangements."
"Yes, Master," Xiaoqing replied.
Xiaoqing now possessed the strength of the Seventh Realm.
As expected of a being born from the convergence of multiple powers.
Just by relying on her own Visualization, she was able to improve so quickly.
Su Qing didn’t compare Xiaoqing to himself.
Instead, he compared her to the other Cultivators in the Taichu Daoist Palace.
Xiaoqing’s progress was truly immense.
"Xiaoqing, watch those two women. Don’t let them affect my seclusion."
"Yes, Master, rest assured." Xiaoqing’s current strength was formidable.
’Those two girls who were once slaves weren’t of much use anyway.’
Then Su Qing paused.
He took out his Taichu Seal and stamped it on Xiaoqing, and also on the two women.
"From now on, you can move about the Taichu Daoist Palace. Remember, do not disturb my Cultivation."
"Thank you, Master!" Xiaoqing cried out happily.
"Alright, I’m entering seclusion." And with that, he entered seclusion once more.
According to the Great Dao Cultivation Method,
the Dao Flower Realm was much stronger than the Daoist Initial Realm.
And it required comprehending the power of Dao Essence.
This was all about the power of Dao Essence, or the Dao Path.
It was just a different way of saying it.

Host: Su Qing
Realm: Dao Flower Realm [Great Dao Cultivation Method: Dao Flower (53/90,000)]

"It’s really difficult."
Su Qing sighed with emotion.
That small amount of Skill Level had taken him three years.
And that was with the added effects of the Nether Oblivion State.
’This won’t do. The Dao Nether Immortal Body isn’t cutting it anymore.’
Su Qing sighed.
He then began frantically cultivating Spirit Medicines in his courtyard.
He put his Dao Nether Immortal Body into the Synthesizer.
He also added all the constitutions he had gained from consuming Spirit Medicines into the Synthesizer.
They were merely constitutions related to the Five Elements Dao Essence.
"Synthesize."
[Synthesis Successful: Immortal Transformation Triggered]
[Returning to the Source Immortal Body: An Immortal Body, a constitution not of this world. Return to the Origin with a single thought; the Dao births all things; soul and body are without equal. Unity: Allows one to actively enter a state of Enlightenment, drastically increasing Comprehension.]
’So much for the "strongest physique in the Small Thousand World."’
Su Qing saw the Synthesizer’s description.
He knew he had likely broken free from the shackles of the Small Thousand World.
He had become a true Immortal Body.
"Extract."
With a single thought from Su Qing,
this Immortal Body truly manifested within his Physique.
His physical body was undergoing rapid changes.
Even his soul was constantly transforming.
His body felt like it was being completely remolded from the inside out, accompanied by an unbearable itching sensation.
Su Qing immediately entered the Visualization Map
so as not to be disturbed by the process.
’This is to ensure my progress is faster.’
This new constitution clearly raised his baseline power.
The Unity Ability alone
made Su Qing feel that he had to extract it.
Because it might be an ability of the same Nether Origin, but one was active and the other passive.
That made a world of difference.
Active triggering meant Su Qing could potentially remain in a state of continuous Enlightenment.
The passive one was different; he never knew when it would begin or end.
However, for active Enlightenment, Su Qing would need to set a time limit and some rules.
Because with his Comprehension ability so drastically increased,
he would unconsciously forget everything around him, including himself.
Therefore, he had to set a specific goal for his Enlightenment.
Otherwise, he might very well turn into a stone.
The fusion process for this new constitution
took Su Qing several months.
This just went to show how powerful the new constitution was.
"Finally, the absorption is complete."
’Why do I feel like I can wield powers that aren’t limited to the Dao Tree?’
With a thought from Su Qing, countless Dao Essences flickered around his body.
He looked just like a Divine Being.
Su Qing dispersed the Dao Essence,
and his surroundings fell silent.
’All that’s left is the Great Dao Cultivation Method.’
’Time for another synthesis.’
Su Qing gave a wry smile.
’Otherwise, wouldn’t all the time I spent collecting those Source Path Cultivation Methods be for nothing?’
Although he didn’t have enough Source Path Cultivation Methods, he could make up the difference with lower-level Techniques.
"Synthesize."
