Chapter 143: Chapter 141: Vein Tempering Technique Perfection
’The duration didn’t increase?’
Su Qing frowned slightly.
’This is going to be tricky.’
He had never tried the effects of the Enlightenment Tea before.
’If I synthesize it too much, it might be bad if something goes wrong when I take it.’
’Forget it. I think I can still handle a five-fold increase.’
’I’ll synthesize it one more time.’
...
[Unknown Leaf: After consumption, increases one’s comprehension ability by 50 times for one hour.]
’This will have to do. I’ll test the effects of this Unknown Leaf when the time comes.’
Su Qing placed the leaf into a separate Jade Box, then put it into his Storage Ring.
’After I finish cultivating the God Demon Marrow Tempering +2, I’ll eat this thing and try practicing the God-Falling Sword.’
After that,
Su Qing began his usual cultivation of the God Demon Marrow Tempering Technique +2.
Ninth Layer of Acupoint Opening Realm [God Demon Marrow Tempering Technique +2: Minor Achievement (312/2000)]
’My God Demon Veins can now withstand the might of 365 Great Worlds without being damaged.’
’I’ll keep going.’
Su Qing was silent. He still had many things he needed to do.
Having suddenly reached the Third Realm of Body Refinement, Su Qing wasn’t actually as excited as one might think.
After cultivating for so long and enduring so much pain, he had long since come to see this as nothing more than an ordinary matter.

Within the residences of the Outer Disciples of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sect.
Two humans were conversing in secret.
"Su Qing cannot be allowed to live. He is a detriment to our Demon Court."
"Obviously! But now is not the time. We’ve been trying to sow discord among the Human Race for years."
"Have you seen any change in them?"
"We should report this to the Demon Kings."
"That’s right. We have to report this to the Demon King. Little demons like us can’t touch Su Qing."
"A few Demon Generals died last time. I don’t know if the Demon Kings will be willing to eliminate Su Qing."
"It’ll be difficult! Why would the Demon Kings come to a place like this? Let’s just report it for now."
"Besides, Su Qing almost never leaves the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sect. How are we supposed to fight him?"
The two stealthily left the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sect’s Pocket World.
...
...
「More than half a year passed.」
[God Demon Marrow Tempering Technique +2: Great Success (495/3000)]

At that moment, inside Su Qing’s house, Ouyang Mingming burst in, forcing Su Qing to stop his cultivation of the Vein Tempering Technique.
"Master, what is it?" Su Qing couldn’t help but ask. After all, a situation like this was quite rare.
"*Ahem*, over in the Celestial Sea Realm, a Divinity Transformation Tomb has appeared in the sea region controlled by our Human Race Sects."
"It’s a Secret Realm, and only Cultivators below the Golden Core Realm are allowed to enter. Even those at the Golden Core Realm cannot get in."
"The Grand Elder of the Sect has already confirmed it. It is indeed a Divinity Transformation Tomb. If a Divinity Transformation expert tried to take it, everything inside would be destroyed."
"That’s why they’re letting your younger generation go in and compete for the Divinity Transformation’s inheritance."
After hearing this, Su Qing said blankly, "Master, I probably can’t get in."
’Below the Golden Core Realm... My Body Refinement is already at the Third Realm. How could I possibly get in?’
"You can’t get in? You don’t want to go and compete for the Divinity Transformation inheritance?"
Su Qing gave a wry smile. "Master, I don’t want to go in."
’Am I supposed to tell her that my Body Refinement has already reached the Ninth-Layer of Acupoint Opening? That I’m a High Tier Third Realm Body Refinement Cultivator?’
’Progress like this is simply too frightening. I don’t want to say anything.’
’Going from the First Realm to the Third Realm in less than ten years would definitely cause an uproar.’
"Sigh... If you don’t want to go, then don’t. The Sect’s inheritances are more than enough for you to cultivate to the Divinity Transformation Realm."
Ouyang Mingming sighed and left Su Qing’s house.
Ouyang Mingming went outside.
Luo Lanxin and Liu Linlin were already waiting there.
"Su Qing isn’t going, so you two go. Be careful."
"I’ll take you to the Secret Realm now."
"That sword practitioner will meet you there. Or, when you come out, find the Grand Elder. He will also be waiting over there."
’Has it finally begun? The Divinity Transformation Tomb.’ Luo Lanxin couldn’t help but grit her teeth and think, ’This time, I must take all the treasures inside. It would be best if I could take the entire Pocket World with me, too.’
"Yes, Martial Aunt (Master)."
Ouyang Mingming left with the two young women.
Su Qing sighed in his room.
’Who could have known that this Divinity Transformation Secret Realm was only accessible to those below the Golden Core Realm?’
’But this is good, too.’
’I can continue to cultivate the God Demon Marrow Tempering Technique.’
「One month later.」
Once again, within the residences of the Outer Disciples of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Sect.
"The Demon King says Su Qing didn’t go to the Divinity Transformation Secret Realm. He’s probably scared."
"He said we don’t need to pay attention to Su Qing. A Cultivator with no fighting spirit will have a very poor foundation."
"So he just wants us to record the general movements of the other Ten Thousand Tribulations Divine Bodies."
"Does the Demon King intend to make a move against those three with the Ten Thousand Tribulations Divine Body in the Divinity Transformation Secret Realm?"
"Of course!"
...
...
The seasons changed.
Half a year went by.
Su Qing’s Vein Tempering Technique reached Perfection.
An aura suddenly erupted from his body.
However, Su Qing quickly suppressed it, preventing it from spreading beyond Cold Extremity Peak.
The veins in his body surged violently, like a great tide in the ocean. The 365 Acupoint Worlds were now truly connected as one.
He had achieved the supreme Acupoint Realm.
"Acupoint Opening!" Su Qing’s lips curled up slightly.
His joy went unnoticed.
During this time of cultivation, even his Life and Death Reincarnation Dao Foundation had reached the ninth revolution. He was now at the Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishment.
He rested for a day.
During that day, no one disturbed him. Su Qing was the only person on the entirety of Cold Extremity Peak.
"Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishment."
"Ninth-Layer of Acupoint Opening."
"Ninth-Layer of Clarity." Su Qing smiled. His Body Refinement was at the High Tier of the Third Realm, while the rest of his cultivation was at the High Tier of the Second Realm.
’I haven’t practiced the God-Falling Sword much yet. I should get it to the Mastery stage first.’
Su Qing took the Unknown Leaf out of his Storage Ring.
’A fifty-fold increase in comprehension ability.’
’I wonder if it will be more effective for practicing the God-Falling Strike?’
After resting for a day, Su Qing cast aside his last vestiges of laziness.
He went to the large training platform on Cold Extremity Peak.
Su Qing ate the Unknown Leaf in one bite.
WHOOSH—
Su Qing felt his soul about to float away. His thoughts and perception seemed to have changed somehow.
It felt as if the entire world contained some different kind of existence, like peering into a dense fog with the naked eye.
Su Qing didn’t dwell on it and began to practice the God-Falling Sword.
He didn’t realize that his Visualization Technique was also rapidly improving after he consumed the leaf.
Right now, Su Qing was completely immersed in the mindset of honing the God-Falling Sword.
Draw the sword, sheathe the sword.
Draw the sword, sheathe the sword.
...
Although he used no Magical Power, an overwhelming Sword Intent filled a section of Cold Extremity Peak, lingering for a long time.
One hour passed by quickly.
After losing that strange state, Su Qing felt like an immortal crane capable of flight that had just had its wings broken.
His only thought right now was that he wanted more.
But as soon as the thought appeared, it was corrected by his Quasi-Star River Visualization Map.
Once his mind cleared, Su Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
’I didn’t expect the side effect to be so strong.’
Ninth-Layer of Clarity [Quasi-Star River Visualization Map: Mastery (81.1564/1000)]
[God-Falling Sword: Mastery (35/1000)]
One hour was equivalent to several days’ worth of Visualization efficiency.
’If I had an Enlightenment Leaf like this every day, wouldn’t that be wonderful?’
It wouldn’t take long for Su Qing to bring his Quasi-Star River Visualization Map to the Perfection stage.
’The God-Falling Sword at the Mastery stage.’
Su Qing looked at the platform, which was now covered in sword marks, the Sword Intent still lingering in the air.
He decided to leave for the time being.
He couldn’t even control the Sword Intent he was releasing. It seemed he no longer needed the Geng Metal Demonic Sword Intent.
However, he still kept it and let it slowly nurture itself.
’I must practice the God-Falling Sword more.’
