Chapter 574: Chapter 572: Improving Heaven and Earth Again

Having settled the matter of avoiding karmic ties, Su Qing finally relaxed.

He took out some of his scarce Luhua Wine and slowly began to drink.

The taste brought back old memories.

It was just a shame that Su Qing had destroyed the Star Sea Tree simply to test a theory of his.

And the world had been destroyed along with it.

He had just taken a small sip of wine when Su Qianyou suddenly appeared before him.

"Brother!"

"Huh... you’re drinking." Su Qianyou glanced at the jug in Su Qing’s hand.

Su Qing nodded. "I felt like having a drink. This was a gift from some friends of mine."

"It’s a shame, though. I’m the one who destroyed them," Su Qing said, reminiscing.

Back when Su Qing broke through to the Thirteenth Realm, he had sensed something was wrong with the world. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have acted so radically.

He destroyed an entire Grand Thousand branch of the Star Sea Tree just to prove his theory.

Perhaps only someone as radical as Su Qing would do such a thing, and at the same time, possess the power to destroy the trunk of the Star Sea Tree itself.

"I want to drink, too." Su Qianyou eyed the jug in Su Qing’s hand, then suddenly gave him a pitiable look.

Su Qing couldn’t help but chuckle.

"Alright, you can try a little." ’Su Qianyou has lived a very long life, after all,’ Su Qing thought. ’She should be considered an adult by now.’

And so,

Su Qing retrieved a jug of Luhua Wine from one of his Micro Acupoints.

He handed it to Su Qianyou.

Su Qianyou accepted the Luhua Wine with a wide grin. Copying Su Qing, she took a big swig.

Su Qianyou’s face remained blank. "Hmm... what a strange flavor. It has a floral scent, and... I can hear a bit of music."

"You can hear music from drinking wine?" Su Qianyou asked doubtfully, taking another sip.

Su Qing was speechless.

"To be able to hear the music of Luhua Wine while you’re still sober... your Talent is already exceptional."

"Normally, only those who are drunk can hear the Luhua music," Su Qing explained calmly.

Hearing this, a faint smile touched Su Qianyou’s lips. "That’s good, then. I don’t need to get drunk for real."

"Yeah, it’s great." ’Of course, Su Qing himself had once created an ordinary clone just for the purpose of getting it drunk enough to hear the Luhua Wine’s music.’

"Brother, this wine doesn’t taste good."

"Mm-hmm." Su Qing nodded.

’It wasn’t delicious, but it wasn’t terrible either.’

’Su Qianyou had tasted all sorts of things, so of course she had her own standards.’

"If you don’t want it, then don’t drink it."

"Just a taste is enough." Su Qing chuckled, then took a long pull from his own jug of Luhua Wine.

Soon, the Luhua Wine was gone.

Watching Su Qing gulp down the wine, and not liking it herself, Su Qianyou handed the jug she’d barely touched back to him. "Here, Brother. You can have it back. I don’t want anymore."

"I’ll finish it, then." Su Qing took the jug and chugged the rest.

He drained it completely.

A faint, almost imperceptible scent of wine now clung to Su Qing.

Su Qianyou took a small sniff of the air around Su Qing. "The wine doesn’t smell good, either."

"Hahaha!"

"Then don’t stand so close, or you’ll have to keep smelling it."

"But your scent is very nice, Brother."

"..." Su Qing fell silent, giving Su Qianyou an odd look.

"What’s there to smell on me? At my level of Cultivation, my body doesn’t even have a scent." Su Qing lightly rapped Su Qianyou on the head.

Su Qianyou didn’t resist the tap.

"My Little Flying Car is broken."

"Huh?" Su Qing was speechless for a moment.

’Broken again.’

A pile of materials appeared in Su Qing’s hand. Within seconds, a new Tier Ten Little Flying Car materialized.

"Here, it’s just a Little Flying Car."

’A Flying Shuttle was a simple thing to make.’

"I’m not going out."

"It’s fine, I guess. This will do."

"Thanks, Brother. Actually, I’d rather have a faster Little Flying Car."

"No way. That would be too conspicuous. With your Ninth-Realm Cultivation, even a Tier Ten Little Flying Car is already pushing it."

"Don’t you get it? You’ll attract all sorts of unwanted attention."

Su Qing said, annoyed, "You’ll run into trouble the moment you step outside."

"But they cause trouble for me even when I don’t have the Little Flying Car," Su Qianyou muttered under her breath.

Su Qing sighed in resignation. "Fine, fine. If you raise your Cultivation to the Tenth Realm, I’ll give you one of my original Little Flying Cars. The really fast kind."

"Thanks, Brother! I’ll go cultivate right now!" Hearing his promise, Su Qianyou seemed to be instantly motivated.

"And I want it to be one you craft personally! But I want to customize the interior myself."

"Alright, alright, just go cultivate," Su Qing said with a sigh.

"Okay!" Su Qianyou replied, full of motivation.

In a flash of light, she disappeared back to her room.

’Let’s see what kind of improvements this new Synthesizer has.’

’Two leaves from the Enlightenment Tree can synthesize into one Standardized leaf.’

’You have no idea how amazing this feels. Su Qing could finally stop wasting so many materials.’

But most importantly!

Two identical Standardized items could be instantly synthesized into a Rule with even greater power.

Su Qing’s first thought was of the Heaven and Earth technique.

It was an exceptionally powerful Divine Technique. Most importantly, Heaven and Earth provided a multiplicative boost. If he could create a version with no cost, or even just reduced cost...

Su Qing could continuously synthesize Standardized items to improve the Rule for cost reduction.

’Wouldn’t that eventually make it practically cost-free?’

He hadn’t used Heaven and Earth in a long time because, frankly, Su Qing hadn’t faced many powerful enemies recently.

Moreover, ever since his battle with Zhu Yuan, he had focused less on Heaven and Earth and more on cultivating his Daoist Techniques.

’A hair’s breadth of difference in the Dao is a chasm as wide as the heavens.’

That was how Su Qing had felt at the time.

So he had focused on cultivating Daoist Techniques. Now, having undergone Dao Transformation, his Time Dao Technique had become an extension of his own being—a part of him.

The gap between each Realm was enormous, which was precisely why Su Qing was so eager to reach the Grand Thousand Realm.

And so,

Su Qing once again set about enhancing the power of his Magic.

All for the sake of increasing his combat power.

He began synthesizing Heaven and Earth again.

(Reduces consumption of essence, qi, and spirit by a factor of 2)

He got lucky right from the start. Seeing the clear "2x reduction" on the first try, Su Qing knew the Synthesizer had genuinely grown stronger.

(Grants Immortal Demon Power)

(Destructive to Immortal Divine Power)

(Increases God and Demonic Power by 2x)

...

Su Qing wanted all of these Standardized Rules.

The Infinite Fire Realm was already incredible.

Su Qing felt he had to upgrade Heaven and Earth as well.

(Increases the might of Heaven and Earth by 1x)

’This one showed up so soon?’

Incredible!

A 1x increase was still incredible, because it meant doubling the power of the existing Heaven and Earth.

Gradually...

Su Qing synthesized hundreds of Standardized Rules.

Because the cost of replication was lower and his synthesis speed had increased, many of the Standardized Rules Su Qing created reached very high levels.

The consumption reduction for essence, qi, and spirit had already reached a factor of 1024.

Only then was Su Qing satisfied.

He synthesized them all together.

[Heaven and Earth: ...When used, grants an overall attribute increase of 800,000x. Be mindful of Magical Power consumption. (The user’s true body cannot be attacked while the Dharma Aspect is active) (Reduces consumption of essence, qi, and spirit by a factor of 2048) (Increases Destructive Power by 20x) (Increases Power of the Five Elements by 16x) (Capable of attacking the soul) (Attacks inflict additional damage with Five Elements Attributes) (Increases brightness by 100,000x) (88x increase in solidity) (Grants the Five Elements Realm) (Increases the might of Heaven and Earth by 4x)...]

There were too many Standardized Rules for Heaven and Earth.

Su Qing couldn’t even begin to read them all.

But every single one of them was incredibly powerful.

"Extract."

Extraction itself presented a major challenge.

In an instant, Su Qing had to draw upon both the Flame of Space-Time and the Eternal Dao Chaotic Immortal Qi just to master the new Heaven and Earth more quickly.
