Chapter 101: Chapter 100: Creation! Su Nan’s Helplessness! Clever Use of Resources!
"Heaven-Opening!"
In the chaotic world, Su Changqing holds the Heaven-Opening Axe, looking at the vast, blank sky and earth. He raises the great axe with one hand and then suddenly swings it down.
Boom!
The most extreme light of the axe slices through the entire chaos, and the originally chaotic heaven and earth instantly undergo change.
The dark qi sinks, forming earth.
The divine qi rises, forming heaven!
With just one stroke of the axe, the rudiment of heaven and earth is opened!
Su Changqing doesn’t understand axe techniques, but merely relying on the extreme sharpness of the Heaven-Opening Axe itself and its infinite power, he forcibly cleaves a strand of heaven and earth.
But it’s only a strand.
When the divine qi rises, Su Changqing instantly feels his mind is clear and transparent.
The dark qi sinks, his physical body becomes heavy and solid, and a powerful force surges throughout his body.
What Su Changqing opens is his own heaven and earth.
The rising divine qi embodies spirit, the sinking dark qi embodies essence, and the Heaven-Opening Axe manifests as Su Changqing’s blood and energy.
The essence, qi, and spirit unite to open the chaotic heaven and earth. Each stroke of the axe enhances Su Changqing comprehensively!
However, Su Changqing is ultimately just of mortal physique; how long can his blood and energy sustain?
After three axe strokes, the Heaven-Opening Axe suddenly turns illusory, and Su Changqing feels waves of weakness.
"Not enough energy and blood..."
Awash in the boundless power, Su Changqing wakes up.
The chaotic world in front of him became illusory for a moment, and when he opens his eyes again, he sees the Heaven-Opening Axe diagram.
But at this moment, Su Changqing is not overly focused on the Heaven-Opening Axe.
In his view, this is a natural change of cultivation, and the mentor surely knows and has arranged it long ago.
"My body has become stronger!"
Su Changqing clenches his fists, his eyes showing surprise.
The feeling of power far beyond mortals makes him realize that he has successfully stepped into cultivation.
Not only that, he feels his spirit is very abundant, and a weak Divine Sense slowly extends beyond the body, touching the Communication Talisman on his waist.
His second brother gave him this Communication Jade Pendant long ago, and he has never used it, not for lack of desire, but because he couldn’t.
Without cultivation, with Divine Sense unopened, how could he transmit messages through Divine Sense?
Yet now, with the three strokes opening heaven and earth, the divine qi rising, Su Changqing’s initial Divine Sense opens, and he can send messages.
"Opening heaven and earth... each axe stroke refines oneself, making the body stronger and the mind purer."
A flash of insight in Su Changqing’s eyes, and upon seeing the diagram, he becomes interested,
"Could it be that the Heaven-Opening Axe diagram contains axe techniques?"
In the chaotic world, he could open heaven and earth relying on the sharpness of the Heaven-Opening Axe and his own strength.
Though powerful, the opening of heaven and earth was too slow.
What if he learned axe techniques?
The speed of opening heaven and earth might greatly enhance.
Thinking this, Su Changqing looks at the Heaven-Opening Axe diagram and immerses his mind into it.
But just moments later, he exits the state, dizzy.
"The resonance in the diagram is too strong; merely watching for a short while overtaxes the spirit."
Su Changqing massages his temples and stands up.
The sharpness of the Heaven-Opening Axe in the diagram was too intense; he felt almost split open after observing for just a while.
But he wasn’t entirely without gain; he detected two techniques recorded in the diagram.
Very simple, just two moves.
One style opens heaven, and one style creates earth.
Of course, these two styles seemed simple, but Su Changqing only had time to see the names of the techniques before he quickly exited.
"It’s never too late to practice slowly later."
Su Changqing waves his sleeves, and the Heaven-Opening Axe diagram, seemingly sentient, directly enters his forehead.
Now his mind sea, besides the creation jade stone and golden greatsword, has a Heaven-Opening Axe diagram added.
...
Outside the Purple Tower.
"A prodigy... an absolute prodigy!"
"He actually cultivated the Martial Ancestor’s legacy to its extreme!"
"That barrier across the heavens, finally someone can break through!"
Wu Jiuling is overwhelmed with emotion, instinctively wanting to enter the Purple Tower to praise his disciple.
For Su Changqing, this may just be a simple entrance into cultivation.
But for him, it’s significant!
"Old Wu, calm down!"
Seeing Wu Jiuling’s reaction, the equally excited Su Nan is suddenly frightened and drenched in cold sweat.
He quickly holds Wu Jiuling firmly, saying seriously, "Forgot our rules?"
"Before Chang Qing reaches the fourth realm, don’t let him know about his talent."
"He’s just stepped into cultivation, everything has just started; you want him to become arrogant?"
"Not to mention, just saw Little Peng King leave, right?"
"Merely a Sky-Peng bloodline made him excessively arrogant; if you let Chang Qing know his talent crushes Little Peng King, what would he think?"
"Especially considering he grew up in hardship from a mountain village; if he suddenly learns about his formidable talent, his nature might dramatically react!"
Hearing this, even Su Nan felt a bit helpless.
As Chang Qing reveals more of his terrifying talent, he finds his plan seems to exceed control.
If Chang Qing were just an average genius, his plan wouldn’t likely encounter problems.
Even if Chang Qing learns about his talent midway, interacting with more prodigies would gradually quell the superiority feelings.
The problem is...
Chang Qing’s talent isn’t ordinary genius but ranked first among the prodigies!
Such talent, who could suppress it?
If Chang Qing truly understood his talent, but no one could subdue him, it would indeed be a disaster.
Currently, Su Nan also feels stuck in a dilemma.
"Thanks for reminding me."
Wu Jiuling’s expression is serious, acknowledging the importance of the matter.
It’s like an ordinary civilian, suddenly learning they are a billionaire; they’d likely squander wildly, ending up bankrupt.
Su Changqing’s situation is even more severe than that.
"You’re such a lousy father." Wu Jiuling looks at Su Nan, says angrily, "Aren’t you afraid Chang Qing will hunt you down once he finds out?"
"How could I know Chang Qing’s talent would be so strong; if I knew earlier, who would choose to raise him poorly?"
Su Nan chuckles bitterly, then grits his teeth, saying, "Now the decision is made; regrets are too late."
"Since it’s like this, better push harder, letting Chang Qing reach the peak before knowing his talent!"
Finishing his words, Su Nan looks at Wu Jiuling, sternly, "I will handle some matters, you must watch over Chang Qing!"
Upon speaking, Su Nan directly shatters the void and leaves the Little Immortal Sect.
Wu Jiuling sees, shakes his head, then excitedly turns his gaze back toward the tower.
The Heaven-Opening Axe diagram!
He can bask in his disciple’s glory; he hasn’t learned it yet.
...
Inside the Purple Tower.
After putting away the diagram, Su Changqing intends to leave.
Suddenly, a bottle emitting a shimmering light appears in the center of the Purple Tower.
"What’s this..."
Su Changqing is stunned, then realizations come, "The mentor said every tower rewards upon passing trials."
"This essence blood bottle is the reward for completing the first stage?"
Su Changqing takes the essence blood bottle.
With hesitation, he glances inside at the shimmering demon beast essence blood, then tips a few drops into his mouth.
Boom!
Instantly, a vast force of energy and blood erupts within him, causing his face to flush slightly red.
"How... how do I digest this?"
Facing such a situation for the first time, Su Changqing feels a bit panicked, but suddenly his eyes brighten,
"That’s right, the Heaven-Opening Axe embodies energy and blood. With demon beast essence blood, could it sustain longer?"
Thinking this, Su Changqing immediately sits cross-legged, immersing his mind into the chaotic world.
"Heaven-Opening Axe!"
Su Changqing stands in the vast chaos, extends his right hand, lightly calling out.
Immediately, the Heaven-Opening Axe filled with ultimate powerful beauty appears in his hand.
"Cut!"
Su Changqing raises the Heaven-Opening Axe with both hands, suddenly slashing down towards the chaotic heaven and earth.
Boom!
The axe light filled with destruction and rebirth traverses the world, vast new ’heaven, earth’ manifesting before him.
Seeing this, Su Changqing’s eyes glow brightly.
Resources!
What a treasure!
