Chapter 353: Chapter 351: Strengthening the Foundation
Su Qing didn’t know how long he had been synthesizing.
It could have been a few days, or maybe more than ten.
After synthesizing one batch, Su Qing would pull up another stalk of bamboo, carve it into a sword, and continue.
...
...
[Synthesis Successful: Evolution Triggered]
[Second Layer Limit-Breaking Profound Qi Golden Bamboo Sword: (Sharpness +100x) (Indestructible) (Profound Qi +10x) (Innate Flame) (Innate Ice Poison) (Innate Medicinal Poison) (Profound Qi Guaranteed to Lock On) (Innate Fire Poison) (Innate Spirit Poison)]
"Feels like finding gold in a pile of shit," Su Qing laughed.
[Second Layer Limit-Breaking Profound Qi Golden Bamboo Sword: (100% Armor Penetration) (Unbreakable) (Profound Qi Can Attack Souls) (Soul-Bound) (Gigantification +10x) (Moves at Will) (Guaranteed to Wound Enemy) (Innate Profound Qi Sword Energy) (Heals Master’s Injuries)]
’Two swords like this should do.’
Su Qing sighed, looking over his results.
The 100% armor penetration was the real prize.
To get just these two swords, Su Qing had already performed over a thousand syntheses.
As for the other Bamboo Swords, Su Qing had already discarded them as failures.
He then synthesized a few more swords with some of these properties.
He took out his Immortal Transformation Ten Thousand Blades.
He placed it into the Synthesizer and suffered a slight backlash.
"Synthesize."
[Synthesis Successful: Evolution Triggered]
[Unknown Sword: An Immortal Sword with nascent Spiritual Wisdom, containing the power of Immortals, Gods, Demons, Dragons, True Yang, and Stars. The blade can transform into 100,000 Immortal Blades (Moves at Will) (Can Break Defenses) (100% Armor Penetration) (Unbreakable) (Profound Qi Can Attack Souls) (Soul-Bound) (Gigantification +100x) (Guaranteed to Wound Enemy) (Innate Profound Qi Sword Energy) (Heals Master’s Injuries) (Sharpness +1000x) (Indestructible) (Profound Qi +10x) (Innate Flame) (Innate Ice Poison) (Innate Medicinal Poison) (Profound Qi Guaranteed to Lock On) (Innate Fire Poison) (Innate Spirit Poison)]
"Extract."
"Rename it: Profound Qi Sword."
A golden sword appeared before him, its blade emanating an indescribable aura. Wisps of this aura even coalesced into tangible forms that coiled around the blade.
The sword’s overall appearance was extraordinary, with flames licking out from the blade.
The sword had become soul-bound to him the moment he synthesized it.
The sword’s Spiritual Wisdom was already on par with an ordinary human’s.
"Incredible. Absolutely incredible."
Su Qing took it out for a closer look. It seemed even more impressive than his Immortal Transformation Ten Thousand Blades.
And it was incredibly sharp.
Su Qing eyed the roots of the nearby Immortal Enlightenment Tree King, tempted to test the blade on them.
But seeing all the Standardizations on the sword, he figured it would likely give even the Immortal Enlightenment Tree King a world of trouble.
Su Qing could touch the sword without issue; the flames didn’t harm him.
He stored it away in his Dantian.
He began to synthesize some Treasure Sacrifice Techniques.
...
...
[Self-Operating Daoist Treasure Sacrifice Technique: Use myriad Dao Principles to perform Sacrificial Refinement on a Magical Treasure, imbuing it with the Power of myriad Dao Principles (Self-Operating)]
"Extract."
Immediately after extracting it, Su Qing had the Treasure Sacrifice Technique begin the Sacrificial Refinement of his Profound Qi Sword.
’Now I’m truly invincible.’
’This sword is the ultimate power.’
’I have to synthesize everything.’
’I’ll need swordsmanship, too.’
’And a powerful Technique.’
...
...
[Unknown Swordsmanship: One strike topples heaven and earth and overturns the cosmos, a swordsmanship that transcends the Great Dao.]
"Extract. Rename it: Great Dao Swordsmanship."
This was the result of synthesizing all his swordsmanship techniques, taking them through Immortal Transformation and then Evolution. It only took Su Qing a short while to synthesize.
Next.
He combined the Immortal Control Hand with the Fire Storage Technique and the Fireball Technique.
[Unknown Fire Technique: A comprehensive Technique for nurturing, controlling, and wielding fire. Classified as Tier Four Magic.]
It was classified as Tier Four Magic because the Immortal Control Hand was already extraordinary.
And now...
It was time for Su Qing to begin the real work.
Replicate.
Synthesize with Standardization.
[Synthesis Successful: Standardization Triggered]
[Unknown Fire Technique: A comprehensive Technique for nurturing, controlling, and wielding fire, classified as Tier Four Magic... (Fire Damage +100%)]
...
(Flames can shine brighter)
(Accelerates flame nurturing speed)
(Flames are extinguished by other fire)
(Loss of flame control)
(Flame temperature is halved)
...
This Fire Control Technique wasn’t perfected yet.
’Another month has passed.’
’Fifteen months left.’
Su Qing grabbed Xiaoqing.
"Perform an Inference. What was the basis for the last combat power ratio calculation?"
Xiaoqing responded again, its voice devoid of emotion: "It was a comparison of profound power, based on one strike at your absolute peak combat strength versus one strike from the Greed Realm at its full power."
"Profound power?" Su Qing was confused.
However, the Xiaoqing before him had already returned to its normal state.
Clearly, it couldn’t perform another Inference to answer Su Qing’s question.
’I’ll just have to wait until next month.’
Su Qing had no choice but to release Xiaoqing.
"Go on and cultivate, Xiaoqing," Su Qing sighed.
"Yes, Master. There is a Cultivator waiting for you outside."
"Let them wait. I don’t feel like going out," Su Qing said dismissively.
All he wanted right now was to become stronger.
...
...
[Synthesis Successful: Evolution Triggered]
[Unknown Fire Technique: A comprehensive Technique for nurturing, controlling, and wielding fire (Fire Damage +10x) (Accelerates flame nurturing speed) (Flame Temperature +10x) (Innate Fire Poison) (Flames Can Adhere) (Flames Can Burn Through Some Defenses) (Controlled at Will) (Ten Tasks, One Mind) (Innate Corrosive Poison) (Ignores Own Flames) (Control Most Flames Not Your Own) (Burns Memories) (Ignores Water)]
’This will do. The other options didn’t seem very useful.’
"Extract. Rename it Fire Divine Technique."
Su Qing actually preferred Rules that couldn’t be enhanced through Evolution over those that could.
That was because such Rules were usually powerful in their own right.
Su Qing could infuse them with Dao Principles and Dao Essence.
So he didn’t need them to have innate ’power’.
’Everything is just about ready.’
’My cultivation in the Immortal Realm is fully consolidated.’
Although a heavy look crossed Su Qing’s face, he released the restrictions of the God Demon Devouring Universe Map, letting his senses return to their most fundamental state and perceive his surroundings.
"Haaaah..."
’Now, it’s time to settle some scores.’
Su Qing’s gaze swept over the people nearby, including his Dao Companions.
’It’s good that they’re all cultivating.’
’As long as they stay inside, they’ll be fine.’
Su Qing didn’t ask for much.
He just wanted a little revenge.
Revenge on the one who brought the Greed Realm here.
Su Qing reappeared on Qingsu Island.
Qingsu Island was as beautiful as ever.
Except...
...for the unpleasant Magical Artifact obscuring the sky.
However, it soon entered its own Great World.
’The Zhengxuan Sect?’ Su Qing was puzzled.
He paid it no mind, however, because the massive Magical Artifact was filled with nothing but minerals.
’They’re collecting metal for me.’
Su Qing thanked them silently.
’It seems like every Cultivator has gathered near my Qingsu Island. What’s going on?’
’Why are all those people from the Abyss Sea here too?’
’Is it because of the Immortal Qi?’
Su Qing’s Immortal Soul swept the area. Cultivators from the Eighth and Seventh Realms had all come here.
There were also many members of the Abyss Sea Demon Clan, all gathered here.
"Xiaoqing."
"Come out with me."
Su Qing called for Xiaoqing. In about a week, he would be able to get another accurate Inference.
"Master." Xiaoqing flew over and landed on Su Qing’s shoulder.
"In a bit, we’re going to the Demon Realm to kill the Inference Demon."
Su Qing was brimming with confidence. As a Ninth Realm cultivator, he was sure that a single Spear of the Soul would be enough to kill the Inference Demon, as long as it hit.
He just had to get rid of all its life-saving measures first.
Then, all Su Qing needed was a good plan to escape the Spirit Realm.
’I’ve cultivated for so long and reached the peak of this world. Why can’t I just relax and enjoy life for a bit?’
Su Qing sighed at the thought.
He walked toward the Marketplace.
He decided to buy some High Tier Demon Beast Meat to eat.
However, just as he stepped out, he found Shangyang Taoist, who had been waiting for a long time.
He approached Su Qing, his face wreathed in smiles.
Su Qing looked at Shangyang Taoist with a questioning gaze. "What is it?"
"The Thirty-Six Layers of Karmic Fire Array."
Shangyang Taoist took out an Array Map and handed it to Su Qing.
"Isle Lord Su, you specialize in Arrays. I’m certain you can use this Array to break through the barrier of the Spirit Realm."
[Thirty-Six Layers of Karmic Fire Array: Uses a Tier Nine Array as a catalyst to summon Karmic Fire, which will burn for a short time.]
