My Synthesizer Has Talent
Chapter 124 - 122: Ambush Outside the Sect
[Pocket World: An Acupoint Pocket World within the Host’s body. A Pocket World is a newly born Little World. As the Pocket World develops, it can become a Great World, and eventually, infinite.]
[Synthesizable]
Su Qing looked inward, and a line of text appeared on his Synthesizer.
’So a Pocket World is a Little World!’
’Does that mean I have 365 Little Worlds?’
’I’ve hit the jackpot!’
A grin spread across Su Qing’s face. The pain was gone, and the oppressive might of the world had vanished, leaving him feeling incredibly relaxed.
’That was close. I can’t believe I almost died. Good thing my Master of the Star River is so powerful.’
Su Qing couldn’t help but feel emotional. Fortunately, he had included the Candle Dragon Visualization Map during the synthesis. Its integration must have been what made that Visualization Map so formidable, allowing it to withstand the world’s assault.
’The Life and Death Reincarnation Dao Foundation.’
’It can actually resurrect me, though it seems I only get one chance per year.’
Su Qing could clearly feel the feedback from his Life and Death Reincarnation Dao Foundation. Having been resurrected once, Su Qing knew that if he died again within the year, it would be for real.
"Life and death are opposites, their states hard to reverse, but my fate is my own, not Heaven’s!"
"Hahaha!"
Su Qing burst out laughing, happier than he had ever been.
’My Dao Foundation is built. All I need now is a Cultivation Technique for the Foundation Establishment Realm.’
’The Five Elements Reincarnation Skill is just too powerful. I wonder if I can modify a Foundation Establishment Cultivation Technique by putting it in with the other eight slots. If not, I’ll just have to create a new technique from scratch.’
Su Qing understood now. You shouldn’t practice an overly powerful Cultivation Technique without being fully prepared, or you’d end up dead and your Dao dispersed, just like what had happened moments ago.
If his soul’s Visualization Map hadn’t been so strong, he would have been obliterated by the world and turned to dust.
’Time to go.’
Su Qing picked up his Storage Ring and took out a set of clothes to wear.
After taking a moment to feel his newfound power, Su Qing used the Earth Vein Resonance Technique to leave.
He didn’t know how long it would take for the small cavern here to collapse, although it had now turned into incredibly solid rock.
...
Su Qing didn’t return to the Sect right away.
He arrived in a human kingdom under the jurisdiction of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sect.
Although it was under their jurisdiction...
The common people here didn’t seem very happy. It wasn’t peaceful and serene like Zhengxuan City.
His Earth Vein Resonance Technique could sense many basements where humans were being kept like livestock.
Most were being raised by Demon Cultivators.
Su Qing had no intention of intervening.
’You can’t kill them all; it’s an endless task.’
’No wonder the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sect is called a Demonic Sect.’
’How tragic.’
Su Qing sighed internally.
’A Demonic Sect... If the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sect didn’t have some real power, they would have been finished long ago.’
Su Qing felt calm. He had once come to this world with ideas of equality.
But those ideas had long since been ground away.
When Su Qing began Immortal Cultivation, he learned what a joke equality was in the face of great power.
Either a higher power establishes rules to enforce equality...
...or it’s just the law of the jungle, where the strong devour the weak.
’What equality is there to speak of?’
There was no talk of equality when Su Qing was captured and sold.
After wandering for a while, Su Qing grew bored.
’I should go back to the Sect. I don’t know how much time has passed.’
Su Qing thought he should synthesize a Foundation Establishment Cultivation Technique as soon as possible, and also purchase a technique for the Second Realm of Body Refinement.
There were many Cultivation Techniques within the Sect, making it the best place for him to acquire them.
It was also a good place for regular cultivation.
The speed of his Earth Vein Resonance Technique had doubled. This was the benefit of a powerful technique; as his own realm increased to Foundation Establishment, the Earth Vein Resonance Technique became faster as well.
「Half a day later.」
He was back at the mountain peak.
Just as Su Qing was about to step into the Sect Pocket World...
...he detected attacks coming from four different directions.
’Foundation Establishment?’
Su Qing instantly sensed the power of the attacks.
All four were at the Foundation Establishment Realm.
"Good!"
Su Qing summoned the Blade of Wholeness.
Geng Metal Demon Sword Intent, Nine Swords Demon Shadow! Su Qing struck in an instant.
At this moment, Su Qing could see the four attacks clearly.
Attacks from a Magical Treasure, an Array Plate, and a Talisman.
’Is that all you’ve got?!’
Su Qing’s nine swords swept past, carrying his sharp Sword Intent and the unique property of his Blade of Wholeness.
The Magical Treasure and the Array Plate were both destroyed.
Even the Talisman’s attack was instantly annihilated.
"Fireball Technique!"
Without a moment’s hesitation, Su Qing sent a Fireball Technique down, forcing all four of the ambushing Foundation Establishment Cultivators to reveal themselves.
They flew in the air, exchanging glances.
"Form the array."
"Four-directions Elephant Seal!"
A powerful suppressive force appeared in the surroundings, a familiar kind of pressure to Su Qing.
A look of displeasure crossed Su Qing’s face.
’The Meaning of the True Flame of the Great Sun.’
Then, Su Qing flew up.
"Immortal Control Hand."
Su Qing’s Immortal Control Hand stoked the fires of their hearts. One of the four Foundation Establishment Cultivators actually charged at Su Qing.
"Die! All you geniuses! You all have to die!"
He was surrounded by Magical Artifacts, all of them Tier Two.
Their power was considerable.
"Nine Swords Demon Shadow."
Su Qing met him with nine swords. The opponent’s movements and power were simply laughable.
Under the nine swords, he was reduced to chunks of flesh that plummeted to the ground.
"Not good."
"The array is incomplete! That bastard Du Shu!"
Although the remaining three had also had their hearts stirred and were emotionally unstable, seeing the tide turn so decisively in Su Qing’s favor, they already had thoughts of retreating.
"Five Thunders Technique!"
Su Qing summoned Celestial Thunder, locking onto the three of them.
BOOM!
In a single breath, three powerful bolts of lightning descended.
The three Foundation Establishment Realm Demon Cultivators who were about to flee...
...were turned into charred husks, falling lifelessly to the ground.
’I really don’t get it. Why do geniuses have to die?’
’These four were deliberately waiting for me, weren’t they?’
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have just blurted out their hatred for geniuses.
Su Qing was wearing a black Cloak. How could anyone have recognized him?
At most, it was when he had just taken out his Identity Token to enter the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sect that must have triggered their sudden attack.
’Heh, Master was right. I really was being targeted. And they’ve been watching me for a whole year.’
’I really don’t know what they were thinking,’ Su Qing shook his head.
Right now, only Golden Core Cultivators could deal with Su Qing. Against other Foundation Establishment Cultivators, he didn’t even need to use his powerful Magic; the Divine Skill Five Thunder Technique alone was enough to dominate.
Su Qing flew down to search the bodies and found six Storage Rings.
’Now I have enough Storage Rings to synthesize.’
Su Qing put them on.
After entering the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sect, he quickly headed for his residence on Cold Extremity Peak.
Returning to his small cabin, Su Qing felt a sense of relief.
’Finally, I can rest.’
’Let’s see what’s in these Storage Rings.’
Su Qing checked them one by one.
He discovered that some of these Storage Rings were quite large.
For example, one Storage Ring had ten cubic meters of space.
The smallest was a five-cubic-meter Storage Ring.
There were quite a few good things inside as well.
Talismans, 36 of them.
Magical Artifacts, 4 of them, with various functions, all of which were Demonic Magical Artifacts.
There were also 2 Array Plates.
The Spirit Stones totaled 1,862.
There was also a technique manual for the Four-directions Elephant Seal array.
’Excellent. Now I have enough Talismans for synthesis.’
Su Qing chuckled lightly.
He took out his Ice Talisman and three Tier Two Talismans. Then, he filled the five remaining slots with Tier One Talismans.
Su Qing had picked all defensive Talismans.
’Activate Divinization, deactivate Evolution.’
"Synthesize."
