Chapter 482 - 480: Invincible Below the Thirteenth Realm

Chapter 482: Chapter 480: Invincible Below the Thirteenth Realm

"Greetings, Life God. I didn’t expect you to be here as well."

This Twelfth Realm Human Race expert saw Life arrive and bowed to her with great respect.

Even though Life’s power was only at the Twelfth Realm at this moment.

He did not doubt Life’s fundamental power in the slightest.

When Life saw this youth-like figure appear, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Zhou Sheng, you’re here. Guard the Taichu Hub with me."

"No problem, Lady Life."

Zhou Sheng nodded. Although he had a somewhat roguish air, his nod was serious.

His gaze turned sharp.

"After we get through this crisis, Lady Life, could you explain to me how to step into the Thirteenth Realm?"

"No problem," Life nodded.

"Thank you, Lady Life."

Everyone kept a certain distance from the Taichu Daoist Palace’s hub.

After all, with everyone watching, maintaining distance was the only way to avoid arousing suspicion about their intentions.

"Zhou Sheng, you rascal, where were you wandering off to before?"

"Li De, I went to a very distant place—the Eastern Domain Wilderness. I was searching for strange objects and seeking methods and insights for a breakthrough."

"Staying in one place forever... I feel like it’s very difficult to break through to the Thirteenth Realm that way."

"I’m so jealous you’ve already reached the Perfection stage of the Twelfth Realm."

"A pity I’m not a user of the Immortal Palace Cultivation Method," Li De said with a smile, his tone regretful.

Su Qing wasn’t familiar with them, so he had nothing to say.

However, the Tier Thirteen Dao Artifact by his side hovered in the air.

It sent a chill down the spines of the other three.

Especially Life. She knew that if Su Qing truly made a move...

...everyone here, along with the Taichu Hub, would be utterly destroyed.

Not even Life could stop him.

The most silent one was also the most powerful.

’In the end, Su Qing is the most trustworthy one here,’ Life thought. ’With his power, if he wanted to destroy the Taichu Daoist Palace’s hub, he could do so in an instant.’

She still remembered the sight of him instantly killing three Twelfth Realm Daoist Cultivators.

"Su Qing, you truly are peculiar."

Life approached Su Qing, deeply curious as to why he was so exceptionally talented.

"Every living being in the world has its own uniqueness," Su Qing said with a soft chuckle.

Su Qing remained vigilant, observing everything around him.

"You’re right. Every living being has its own uniqueness," Life nodded.

"Do you want to know why my Cultivation regressed?"

"Go on." Su Qing wasn’t particularly interested, but he was willing to listen.

’It’s like gossip. Even if it doesn’t concern me, who doesn’t enjoy listening to a little gossip?’

"I resurrected a life."

"And received the Star Sea’s punishment."

Hearing this, Su Qing’s eyes widened.

He looked at the Life God before him in disbelief.

’She resurrected a life.’

"Resurrected from complete death?"

"More or less."

Life didn’t say much more.

But the other two Twelfth Realm Cultivators had also overheard their conversation.

Li De and Zhou Sheng were utterly astonished.

No matter how you looked at it, resurrecting a life was an incredible feat.

In the eyes of a Cultivator, true death was the complete annihilation of both body and soul.

To trade an entire Realm for the revival of a single life.

To be honest...

...any creature of flesh and blood would probably wish to bring back someone important to them.

Such an ability was enviable.

Su Qing was also incredibly envious.

At the same time, he felt a renewed passion for his own Cultivation.

’The Thirteenth Realm can resurrect the dead.’

’Then, when I reach the Thirteenth Realm, maybe I really can bring them back.’

"I never thought Lady Life would actually give up the power of the Thirteenth Realm to resurrect someone. They must have been very important to you, right?"

Zhou Sheng walked over, joining the conversation.

Life shook her head. "Perhaps. Before I resurrected them, I always felt they were very important. But after they were brought back, it just felt like a regret had been resolved."

"Maybe it was just my mind playing tricks on me. Perhaps they weren’t that important to me after all."

"..."

"Perhaps... a distance has just grown between you," Zhou Sheng said, unsure how to respond.

He had never experienced anything like it.

This was all he could think of. Resurrecting a life was no simple matter.

Deceased friends and family were but imprints left in memory.

Life said nothing more.

’Emotions are complicated. I can’t even figure out my own feelings.’

"If it were me, I wouldn’t feel that way," Su Qing said with a light chuckle. "Too many people have died on my account."

"So if I had the power to resurrect someone, I would definitely not regret it. It wouldn’t be about resolving a regret. Resurrection is resurrection."

"To me, just being able to live in this world is good enough."

That was what Su Qing thought.

And that was what he would do.

If he had the power.

He would definitely resurrect them all.

He would resurrect his old friends.

’This Su Qing’s way of thinking is quite direct. But resurrecting a single person costs an entire major Realm. We’re talking about the Thirteenth Realm, which takes an unimaginable amount of effort to break through to.’

"I would feel it’s not worth it," Li De said with a smile.

He glanced at Life, who was standing to the side.

His eyes were filled with pity.

She was once a mighty expert of the Thirteenth Realm, the envy of all, yet she had fallen to the Twelfth Realm just to resurrect one person.

"A choice is neither right nor wrong," Su Qing added from the side. "You just have to bear the consequences."

He could hear the pity in Li De’s voice.

But that was Li De’s opinion, not Life’s, and not Su Qing’s.

Everyone’s life experiences are different, as are their thoughts, so the conclusions they reach will naturally differ.

It was perfectly normal.

’But imposing your own judgment of right and wrong onto someone else’s actions is a very foolish thing to do.’

Hearing Su Qing’s words, Li De fell silent.

He didn’t want to argue with Su Qing.

The Taichu Daoist Palace was currently in a state of chaos.

Without Taichu’s authority to maintain order, the unspoken rule was simple: conflict was inevitable, and a desire to kill would quickly turn into murder.

Clearly, Li De did not want to start a conflict with Su Qing.

It was because of the Tier Thirteen Dao Artifact constantly floating by Su Qing’s side.

This was no Dao Artifact that an ordinary Eleventh or Twelfth Realm Cultivator could use.

Yet Su Qing was using it continuously.

And he looked completely unaffected, as if it took no effort at all.

Under these circumstances, Li De had no desire to fight Su Qing.

’It would probably mean my own death.’

’If your principles differ, it’s best to just stay silent.’

The four of them stood guard here for a long time.

Because the Taichu Daoist Palace lacked Taichu’s authority, many conflicts did indeed arise, but they were all suppressed by powerful Cultivators.

Besides, the area around the Taichu Hub wasn’t a place just any being could come to.

One had to be at least at the Eleventh Realm, a Source Path Cultivator, to enter this area.

Otherwise, they would be blocked.

Not just any Cultivator could force their way in here.

This wait lasted for several months.

Su Qing had already sat down cross-legged on the ground and begun his Cultivation.

And he was constantly chewing on leaves.

The other three found it strange, but they didn’t ask.

Everyone has their secrets.

But the most outrageous thing was...

...that Tier Thirteen Dao Artifact had been floating there the entire time.

For months, it had been monitoring the surroundings.

The three of them were dumbfounded watching it.

’Is this powerful Sword that powerful, or is Su Qing himself just that strong?’

For several months, the Dao Artifact showed no signs of faltering or becoming sluggish.

And from the look on Su Qing’s face, it was clear that using this Sword-shaped Dao Artifact was completely effortless for him.

An Eleventh Realm Cultivator using a Tier Thirteen Dao Artifact for several Taichu Months was simply unimaginable.

Even the Last Life Clan had to pay a huge price to use their Tier Thirteen Artifacts.

Yet here was Su Qing, using a Tier Thirteen Sword-shaped Dao Artifact for what seemed to be no cost at all.

’With this Sword, that kid is invincible below the Thirteenth Realm.’
