Chapter 368: Chapter 366: Star Immortal Body
"Impossible!" the old woman bellowed.
"That’s impossible! How often does Jianmu even bear fruit?"
"You’re not satisfied with five fruits? You want ten?"
"It only bears fruit once every fifty thousand years! There are only twelve in total, and you want ten of them? That’s impossible."
"Impossible?" A sliver of extremely suppressed power emanated from the middle-aged man.
It was a display of sheer might.
If Su Qing were here, he would have known this was a Seventh Realm Cultivator.
However, he seemed to possess an additional kind of power.
"Very well, then. Our conversation ends here." The middle-aged man suddenly smiled.
His smile was incredibly gentle, like a spring breeze.
But his eyes held a trace of cold indifference.
The old woman sighed.
"Jiafeng, see our distinguished guest out."
"That won’t be necessary. To live beside Jianmu yet have such frail physical bodies... If you join our Dongfang forces, you can obtain powerful Cultivation Techniques."
"They’re far stronger than the so-called Cultivation Techniques of your ancestral land."
"The way of the Dao Path is not as easy to walk as that of a Cultivation Technique."
"No need. See him out."
the old woman refused coldly.
’The Dongfang Race’s Cultivation Technique...’
’...already incorporates the power of the Cause and Effect Dao Path.’
’Anyone who practices it outside the Dongfang Race’s sphere of influence is doomed to fail. If they manage to succeed and then betray them, their soul will simply detonate.’
’In short, after joining the Dongfang Race, one would likely never have a chance to get ahead.’
’You’d be kept under their thumb forever.’
This was unacceptable to the Jianmu Omniscience Institute.
...
After the middle-aged man from the Dongfang Race came out, his once-gentle smile turned incomparably cold.
A virtual communication panel appeared in his hand.
He initiated a call.
"How did the negotiations go?"
"The Jianmu side didn’t agree," the middle-aged man replied, his tone growing contemptuous.
"They didn’t agree?"
"If they don’t agree, then we’ll just fight our way in."
"We must have Jianmu."
"Understood."
"I’m heading back first."
...
...
"Dean Ke, that visitor came with ill intentions."
"If the Dongfang Race sends an expert comparable to someone at the Ninth Step of the Dao Path..."
"...I’m afraid the odds will be stacked against us."
A shrewd glint flashed in the middle-aged man’s eyes.
He was an existence at the Eighth Step of the Wisdom Dao Path.
He was one of the most knowledgeable people in all of Jianmu.
"I advise you not to get any funny ideas."
"The power wielded by that ancestor is on par with the Dongfang Race’s. Do you know what will happen to you if you’re discovered?"
"Relax, I haven’t done anything."
"I’ve been studying fate recently. Fate will certainly force his hand."
"Fate?"
"You’re studying that kind of wisdom that transcends logic again."
"Aren’t you on the Wisdom Dao Path?"
"That doesn’t create a conflict, does it, Dean Ke?"
"Dean Luo still needs more training. He isn’t competent enough to hold the position of Dean right now."
"So you arranged for Ou Mingjie to be by his side."
"Of course."
"I trust they’re getting along swimmingly."
...
...
’I finally got it.’
Su Qing could feel that he had obtained a new Heaven and Earth; the previous one had already vanished.
’The knowledge after Standardization...’
’...is all very peculiar.’
So Su Qing paid it no mind.
’A lot of time has passed.’
’It must have been a year.’
Su Qing could feel the passage of Time.
’Next up.’
’The Star Fruit.’
Su Qing took one out.
[Star Fruit: ... Consume to obtain the Seed of the Stars and a complete Star-Attracting Mark. Allows entry into the Star Dao Path and the shaping of a Star Body. If one lacks a powerful physical body, consumption is akin to taking a deadly poison.]
’Here goes nothing!’
Su Qing ate it in one bite.
His body rapidly absorbed the fruit.
Deep within his soul, a Star-Attracting Mark appeared.
The Star-Attracting Mark was just a dot in the center with a wavy shape above, below, to the left, and to the right.
It was just a mark that looked like a flat plane, no matter which angle you viewed it from.
[Star-Attracting Mark: A mark of the Star Dao Path that points in the direction of the Stars, absorbs the Power of the Stars, and transforms them into immortal Stars.]
...
[Star Body: Absorb the Power of the Stars, step onto the Star Dao Path, and achieve a lifespan like that of the Stars, nearing immortality.]
[Synthesizable]
’The Star Body can be synthesized, but the mark can’t.’
’Could it be that it doesn’t exist?’
Su Qing was very surprised.
He had no idea why this was the case.
’I’d like to see just how far the Star Body can be synthesized.’
As for a lifespan like the Stars...
...Su Qing could already achieve that.
As long as he properly mastered the Earth Great Immortal, wasn’t any amount of lifespan easy to obtain?
Su Qing took out another Star Fruit.
Without another word, he just ate it.
He obtained the Star Body and placed it directly into the Synthesizer.
...
"Synthesize."
[Synthesis Successful: Standardization Triggered]
[First Layer Star Body: Draw in the Power of the Stars, step upon the Star Dao Path, and achieve a lifespan like that of the Stars, nearing immortality (Lifespan x2).]
’Huh?!’
’Sometimes, the things that come from Standardization just aren’t good.’
’Lifespan?’
’Am I lacking that stuff right now?’
Su Qing didn’t lack lifespan at all.
’Let’s try Immortal Transformation instead.’
Su Qing ate another eight fruits.
[Synthesis Successful: Immortal Transformation Triggered]
[Star Dao Body: For some reason, the power of the Great Thousand Worlds’ Star Dao Path has transformed into the Star Dao Body. Draw in the Power of the Stars and ignite the 12 Dao Fires within the Star Dao Body to obtain Star Power equivalent to the 12 Steps of the Star Dao Path.]
’Not bad.’
Su Qing hadn’t extracted it yet.
He continued to consume the fruits.
At first, he had been afraid they might be poisonous to him.
It turned out he had worried for nothing.
...
[Star Immortal Body: For some reason, the Star Dao Body has transformed into the Star Immortal Body, which exists outside of past and future. It has an endless lifespan. Draw in the Power of the Stars and ignite the 12 Star Immortal Fires within the Star Immortal Body to grasp the power of most Stars and master the ultimate Power of the Stars.]
He ate another eight fruits.
And continued synthesizing.
[Star Immortal Body: A constitution comparable to all ultimate Talents in the Great Thousand Worlds. It has an endless lifespan. Devour the Power of the Stars and ignite the 12 Immortal Star Fires to grasp the power of the Stars and become immortal.]
’It’s that amazing?’
Su Qing glanced at his own Dao Nether Immortal Body.
Then he glanced at the Star Immortal Body.
’Both of these constitutions are incredibly powerful.’
’With the Star Immortal Body, I just don’t know how to ignite the 12 Immortal Star Fires.’
"Extract."
Su Qing recited silently.
He was once again immersed in Visualization within the Visualization Map.
...
...
「One year later.」
"Su Shang, your knowledge is excellent. It’s just a pity that awakening the Wisdom Dao Path requires the right opportunity, and all of Jianmu is on high alert right now."
"I can’t take you out to explore strange lands to further your studies."
A gentle-looking woman with a smiling face praised her.
She had a strong scholarly air about her, yet she looked gentle and charming.
"Teacher, I’m already very content."
"I believe I will definitely be able to awaken the Wisdom Dao Path."
Su Shang was already almost twelve years old.
Yet she was already five-foot-four.
She looked like an adult, but who would have thought she was only a little over eleven years old.
"Here, take this."
"This is a piece of a withered Jianmu leaf."
"Take it back with you and study it. Perhaps you can awaken your Dao Path while researching Jianmu."
"Thank you, Teacher."
"You’re welcome."
...
She descended through the layers of Jianmu, heading for home.
She watched the passersby and some passing medical personnel with a bit of confusion.
She just wrinkled her delicate nose and continued on her way.
She picked up the palm-sized slice of the Jianmu leaf.
The house was still empty.
She was already completely used to it. On her wrist, she still wore the bracelet Su Qing had given her.
She had just taken out the instruments she’d bought for her home and was beginning to study it.
Although her parents weren’t home for long periods, they gave her a lot of spending money.
Using that spending money to buy instruments was a trivial matter.
’Why does it feel like the world is spinning?’
’Something’s wrong. I’m about to faint.’
’But I’ve rested plenty...’
THUMP.
Su Shang collapsed.
