My Synthesizer Has Talent

Chapter 235: Chapter 233: The Calm Before the Storm

These miniature Puppets.

They were extremely draining on Su Qing’s Soul Power.

However, their advantage was their ability to perform delicate operations.

Building houses.

He put all his portable Magical Artifacts to use.

After the renovations were complete,

Su Qing cleared a patch of land, planting a small circle of flowers and a few varieties of tea trees.

This was the domain of the Isle Lord!

Su Qing looked at his residence with satisfaction. The exterior was pleasant, but the interior was even more comfortable.

’It’s just like my home from my past life.’

Su Qing really enjoyed this kind of construction work.

Meanwhile, the Tier Four Puppet was laying out the areas outside his personal residence.

These areas were not part of his personal residence; he planned for them to be used by visiting Cultivators for business and trade in the future.

He set aside plenty of space for residential areas.

Anyone allowed to live on the island would surely have a connection to him.

Su Qing just had the Tier Four Puppet build them in a conventional style.

A few dozen residences would suffice.

Gradually, Su Qing discovered something.

Even an area with a one-kilometer radius...

’...seems way too small.’

Su Qing felt truly helpless.

He had no choice but to use the Earth Vein Resonance Technique again, expanding the island by another square kilometer.

This made the planned area much larger.

Su Qing immediately designated all the land near his own residence for housing.

Another area was to be developed into a Marketplace.

Luo Xingya had wanted to help, but Su Qing waved her off, telling her to focus on her Cultivation in her own residence.

Su Qing, meanwhile, continued to plan the island’s layout.

He also carried on with the construction.

「Five days later.」

Looking at what he had built, Su Qing couldn’t help but feel a great sense of satisfaction.

Now, all he needed was the right opportunity.

He had to build a port, establish the Marketplace, and make other Cultivators aware of this place.

His island was far too small to house mortals; Su Qing had almost no intention of letting them stay.

Still, there was much more to be done.

Su Qing built everything out of wood.

He had a near-endless supply of wood.

Thanks to the Withered Wood Revives Spring Immortal Skill, Su Qing was never short on any plant-related materials.

In fact, the only thing he really lacked was metal.

The construction continued.

Su Qing spent another ten days on it.

During those ten days,

someone actually wandered into his Mist Array and became trapped.

It appeared to be a Golden Core Realm Cultivator.

Su Qing simply let him go.

Su Qing wasn’t finished with the construction yet. He had only built some houses; most of the landscaping and other environmental touches were still lacking.

The Spiritual Qi was about the same as the outside world.

Su Qing then took out a Spirit Stone containing enough Spiritual Qi to fill an entire Pocket World and buried it beneath the island.

With this, the Spiritual Qi became much more abundant.

As for a Spirit Gathering Array, Su Qing only set down a single Tier Four Gathering Spirit Array Plate.

A more powerful one would have been too aggressive, leaving the vast surrounding area in a state of depleted Spiritual Qi.

Su Qing had no desire to drain the region so forcefully; after all, it wasn’t as if he was short on Spiritual Qi.

He now preferred harmony between man and nature...

——

Nascent Soul Eighth Layer [God Demon Infant Raising Method: Minor Achievement (1203/2000)]

"Another breakthrough."

Su Qing smiled calmly. ’It’s happening soon,’ he thought.

’I’m almost at Nascent Soul Perfection.’

Once the God Demon Nourishing Immortal Infant Technique reaches Perfection, he could break through to the Divinity Transformation Realm.

Once he used Heaven and Earth at that time, Su Qing didn’t believe even a Cultivator at Divinity Transformation Perfection could be ten thousand times stronger than one at Divinity Transformation Initial Tier.

Therefore, as long as he broke through to the Divinity Transformation Realm, he would be invincible among all Divinity Transformation Cultivators.

And that was without even mentioning his God Demon Flipping Immortal Seal.

’Among Divinity Transformation Cultivators, who could possibly defeat me?’

Looking at the island he had built, Su Qing said softly, "Xiaomi, you can rest for now. We don’t need the mist on this island."

The moment Su Qing finished speaking,

the mist in many parts of the island began to dissipate. In particular, the fog over the surrounding sea vanished.

This revealed the small island Su Qing had built.

The island was located at the border between the Celestial Sea Realm and the Nether Sea Realm.

Generally speaking, nothing major ever happened here.

Su Qing lifted some of the restrictions on his Arrays.

The island was no longer shrouded in mystery. To any outsider who happened upon it, it would simply look a bit more beautiful than before.

"Xiaoqing, run an Inference. Am I safe here?" It was the perfect opportunity to check.

Su Qing asked.

"Perfectly safe, Host," Xiaoqing replied affirmatively.

Su Qing smiled.

’That’s right,’ he thought. ’If I’m not safe here, then where could possibly be safe?’

The Array Plates he possessed were beyond anything this world had seen.

"Oh? When did this island appear?"

A Golden Core Realm Cultivator landed directly on Su Qing’s island, muttering to himself.

He saw Su Qing and perceived that he, too, was at the Golden Core Realm.

"Fellow Daoist, is this your estate?"

"Of course," Su Qing replied with a nod and a smile.

"Then it’s mine now."

The Golden Core Realm Cultivator across from him suddenly attacked. A Poison Needle shot toward Su Qing as the man also brought out a Puppet.

A Talisman swiftly flew toward Su Qing, transforming into a giant net that attempted to ensnare him.

Su Qing simply swatted his hand, and all the attacks vanished without a trace.

’A mere Golden Core Cultivator, trying to show off in front of a Nascent Soul expert?’

"Quite the bold Cultivator, aren’t you? Attacking me?" Su Qing didn’t kill him. Instead, with a wave of his hand, he deployed a Tier Three Array that sealed the man’s Cultivation.

"Senior, spare me!" The Golden Core Realm Cultivator started to panic.

’How did this guy suddenly become a Nascent Soul Realm expert?!’

’No, wait... the more I look at this Cultivator, the more familiar he seems.’

"Su... Demon Su!" The Golden Core Realm Cultivator was so terrified he nearly fainted.

’I’m a dead man.’

He’d run into Demon Su—the man whose face was wanted by everyone in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

’How could my luck be this bad today, running into him just like that?’

His face turned ashen. He was doomed...

"A Golden Core Cultivator with a Water and Wood Spirit Root..." Su Qing mused.

’He’s actually an Immortal Cultivator, but his actions just now were hardly befitting of the Righteous Dao.’

’At best, he’s a Demon Cultivator.’

"I won’t kill you. Now get lost." After a moment’s thought, Su Qing flung the man dozens of miles away from Liha Island with a single flick of his hand.

’Let him go and spread the news about me.’

’This way, I can finally start building my reputation.’

’At the same time, it would be best if a Tribulation Crossing Realm Cultivator showed up. Letting my Fire Dragon Array kill one of them would really send a message to other Cultivators.’

’Although I haven’t reached my full potential yet, the treasures I possess can still kill a Tribulation Crossing Realm expert.’

’As long as I don’t leave the island, I won’t be in any danger.’

Thus, Su Qing began to "lie low" out in the open.

He just needed to let things ferment for a while.

White Fox.

Su Qing recalled the Tier Four Mechanical Puppet.

He continuously fed it low-level Puppets, causing it to synthesize again and again.

Again and again.

Until finally...

[Unknown Immortal Puppet: Possesses Spiritual Wisdom (Obeys the Host). Strength surpasses the limits of this world. Do not deploy lightly, as it can easily cause the world to collapse.]

"White Fox, Dahuang, Xiaoqing, all of you go hide. Go back into hiding."

"There’s going to be a huge battle," Su Qing instructed them via voice transmission.

Afterward, he found Luo Xingya and gave her the same instructions.

He warned Luo Xingya that it would be best for her not to even watch the coming battle.

「Less than half a day later.」

Night had fallen. The lights on Su Qing’s island were bright, but the sky above told a different story.

Even in the darkness, there was the distinct calm before a storm.

"Xiaomi, Little Huo, Xiaoling, Xiao Si, hold the line. If any Cultivators attack, unleash your full power."

The island’s Grand Array flickered faintly.

The four Array Plates, in particular, seemed to hum with anticipation.

Su Qing had placed an Immortal Stone brimming with immense Immortal Qi in each of the Array Plates, for the sole purpose of repelling invaders.

Rain began to fall from the sky.

Above, lightning crackled and crisscrossed through the clouds.

Su Qing could sense the arrival of numerous Divinity Transformation Cultivators.
