Chapter 475 - 473: A Star Dao Path for You

Chapter 475: Chapter 473: A Star Dao Path for You

"I never thought a member of the Time Royal Family would be so dissatisfied with them."

"You’re in the Eleventh Realm, after all."

Su Qing said in surprise, his eyes on World Master.

World Master’s expression didn’t change much.

He just said, "Otherwise, how could I still be at the Taichu Daoist Palace? I don’t get along with them."

"Otherwise, with my strength at the Eleventh Realm, I could at least be a clan elder."

"Unfortunately, over in the Time Royal Family, that old geezer controls everything. I can’t be bothered to fight for it."

World Master was indignant, his tone filled with resentment.

Su Qing hadn’t expected World Master to harbor such resentment toward the Time Royal Family.

He had been so mild-mannered just a moment ago.

But the moment Su Qing mentioned the Time Royal Family investing in an outsider, World Master became incredibly resentful and started complaining about them.

"World Master, did you come to see me about anything else besides this?"

Hearing this, World Master’s expression gradually returned to calm. He shook his head. "No."

"It was just this one thing."

"But I advise you not to go to the Western Realm. It’s not as good as the Taichu Daoist Palace."

"Especially for existences like us, at the top of the Taichu Daoist Palace. Going to the Western Realm is not as peaceful as staying here."

"Of course, I won’t be going to the Western Realm. I have no desire to be inexplicably dragged into some conflict."

...

After discussing the situation in the outside world with World Master, he left.

Just as he saw World Master off, a young beauty appeared outside.

But the Flame Mark on her head gave Su Qing a headache.

"Su Shang, what brings you here?"

The "little" beauty wasn’t so little anymore. She had grown into a mature, cool beauty type—fair-skinned and beautiful, with ample curves, a firm rear, and lethally long legs, all topped with a cool and detached aura.

However, upon seeing Su Qing, her expression lit up with joy.

"Brother, so many people have been trying to get me to go to the Western Realm recently. It got so bad I had to run back to the Taichu Daoist Palace. I didn’t expect to find people like that even here inside the palace."

"I can’t help you with something like that."

"Come in."

"It’s not good to stand here chatting in the entrance."

Su Qing led Su Shang into his world.

To be honest, Su Shang had never entered Su Qing’s world before. After she stepped inside, her eyes widened considerably.

’So beautiful.’

’Is this the Flower Sea from the stories?’

And amidst the Flower Sea, there was a beautiful path paved with pebbles.

It led all the way to the door of Su Qing’s small cabin.

’It’s too beautiful.’

This world seemed to be filled with tranquility.

Just looking at it was refreshing to the heart and soul.

"Don’t just stand there gawking. If you want a Flower Sea, can’t you just plant flowers in your own world?" Su Qing patted Su Shang’s little head.

He couldn’t help but find it amusing.

’So many years have passed. Su Shang must have seen a lot of things, yet she’s still stunned by a scene like this.’

"It looks like the place where the Human Race first lived."

"Brother, this world feels so unreal."

"Go and feel it for yourself, then you’ll know if it’s real or not."

Su Qing found it amusing. He had only changed the appearance of his world, after all.

"Brother, let’s walk and talk."

"Of course."

Su Shang’s current Cultivation was at the Third Realm at most.

Because she used the Immortal Palace Cultivation Method, her progress was slow.

It was truly not as fast as cultivating a Dao Path.

"Brother, they offered such generous terms, I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to resist going."

"They actually promised to give me a Devouring Dao Path."

A preliminary Cultivation Technique, plus a Devouring Dao Path, was a huge temptation for a being using the Immortal Palace Cultivation Method.

It represented a chance to instantly escape their cumbersome predicament.

If Su Qing had possessed such a Dao Path back then, he would have been practically invincible.

Unfortunately...

...all Dao Paths that allowed one to become strong instantly had one difficult point: they were extremely hard to obtain.

Dao Paths weren’t something you could have just by wanting them.

"It’s just a Devouring Dao Path."

"If you begged that mark on your brow, it might just actually give you a Devouring Dao Path."

Su Qing chuckled.

"The mark on my brow?" Su Shang grew confused. She reached up and touched the mark on her brow, then glanced at the Flame Mark on Su Qing’s.

They were exactly the same.

"What exactly is this mark?"

"You’ll find out in the future."

Su Qing said helplessly.

Then, a Star Fruit appeared in his hand.

’Su Shang’s body should be able to handle it now.’

Although it was said to be like a potent poison to those with weak constitutions, Su Qing had eaten it many times.

It was merely a power that remolded the body and soul.

Mortals couldn’t withstand it, but Su Shang was already at the Third Realm, which was equivalent to the Golden Core Realm.

She could definitely consume a Star Fruit to obtain the Star Dao Path.

It was similar to the Devouring Dao Path. The one thing the Star Sea didn’t lack was the Power of the Stars.

"Here, take this. I don’t have a Devouring Dao Path, but I do have a Star Dao Path."

Su Shang’s eyes widened. She shyly reached out and accepted the Star Fruit.

"Thank you, Brother."

"A Star Fruit... this is so valuable."

Su Shang had heard news about Su Qing in the Taichu Daoist Palace.

He was very powerful.

But Star Fruits were also very expensive, to the point where they were priceless and unavailable on the market.

No being was willing to sell a Star Fruit.

If one ever appeared, it would be snatched up in a mad rush immediately.

"Mm, don’t worry about it. Give this other one to Liu Ling’er. She should be able to take it too."

"A mortal’s constitution would likely cause them to explode and die from taking it. Tell Liu Ling’er to be careful."

Su Shang took the second Star Fruit from Su Qing and placed it in her Storage Ring.

She nodded obediently.

Su Shang didn’t know why, but this brother of hers gave her an incredible sense of security and reliability.

’It’s just a shame he doesn’t seem to have many thoughts on romance.’

Su Shang could only suppress the fluttering in her heart.

The distance between her and Su Qing was already vast.

"I really don’t have a Devouring Dao Path."

"The Star Dao Path can make up for it. But in life, don’t be too arrogant. You should have come to understand this deeply over the past hundred years."

"You’ve been out exploring for so long now."

"You understand this yourself."

Su Qing didn’t say much more.

"I know, Brother."

Only then did Su Qing nod in satisfaction.

"I’m giving you the Star Fruit to tell you not to go to the Western Realm. Although danger and opportunity coexist there, if you get caught up in some faction’s dispute, even I won’t be able to help you."

"Stay in a safe place and improve yourself. With the Star Dao Path, I don’t think you’ll need to seek out too many other opportunities."

Su Qing changed the subject. "What about Liu Ling’er?"

"She didn’t go to the Western Realm, did she?"

"N-No."

"She’s still in the Taichu Daoist Palace. Are you going to look for her, Brother?"

"No. I have my own things to do. I only stopped my seclusion because I found it strange that so many people were looking for me recently."

"Since you’re here, stay for a meal."

"Okay, thank you, Brother." Su Shang broke into a smile. It was very similar to Su Hongshang’s, and yet it wasn’t.

Ordinary pork, duck, chicken, and fish.

With the addition of Su Qing’s Tier Three seasonings, the dishes were all Tier Three. He also gave Su Shang some Spirit Fruit juice.

How could he possibly let Su Shang drink wine? She couldn’t handle it.

And Su Qing didn’t want her to drink anyway.

"Sit."

"You can look at the Flower Sea in this world for as long as you want."

"You can eat while you watch."

Su Qing smiled. Su Shang seemed truly captivated by the Flower Sea, staring blankly at her surroundings.

An instrument appeared in her hand.

She handed it to Su Qing.

"Brother, I heard you were looking for seeds. I forgot to give these to you just now."

Inside this instrument were two seeds.

[Ghost Grass Seed: A grass seed that grows in the Land of Netherworld. Its complete form, even as a blade of grass, is like a soul. Consuming it can slightly increase Soul Power.]

[Five-Colored Flower Seeds: Flower seeds that are naturally born with Five Elements Attributes. Consuming them can grant a small amount of Five Elements Power.]
