Chapter 23: Extreme Trust, The Witch Can't Wait to Meet!
(At Absolute Beginning Holy Sect)
-On the Holy Son Peak.
Su Changqing had just finished writing the second diary entry.
Stretching his body with a satisfied smile, he murmured to himself, "Murong Dieyi must be moved after reading the diary’s content, right? After all, everything is in the original plot. I still don’t believe she hasn’t increased her trust value!"
He spoke softly, confident that trust would be gained. All he had to do was wait.
Before long, a system notification chimed in:
[Ding!]
[Congratulations to the host for completing the second diary entry!]
[The trust points of the second diary holders is as follows...]
[Ling Qianxue, Holy Maiden of the Absolute Path Sect—Trust Points: 120!]
[Princess Su Youwei of the Great Yu Empire—Trust Points: 100!]
[Murong Dieyi, Saintess of the Misty Sea Demon Sect—Trust Points: 100!]
Seeing the trust points, Su Changqing blinked in confusion. "What’s going on? Why is Ling Qianxue's trust points at 120? Isn’t 100 the maximum?"
[The host is correct, 100% is the full trust level. However, 120 indicates extreme trust, and Ling Qianxue’s trust can now cap at 120.]
The system’s explanation made sense to Su Changqing, who nodded in understanding. "So, each diary entry resets the trust points to zero," he mused, but wasn’t concerned. As long as the diary holders trusted his entries, he could handle the rest.
At this moment, another system prompt appeared:
[Ding!]
[Congratulations to the host for earning the trust of all three diary holders in the second diary entry. You will be rewarded!]
[Rewards issued...]
[Congratulations to the host for receiving a cultivation upgrade—rising two small realms to reach the 3rd stage Saint Realm!]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a holy-level weapon—Immortal Heavenly Sword, which can be upgraded to the level of an Emperor Soldier!]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the holy-grade pill—Nine Turns Sky-Filling Pill, which strengthens cultivation and hides nine wisps of true energy in the dantian, allowing future breakthroughs to unleash immense power!]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining two fragments of the most powerful treasure under the Quasi-Emperor—Refining Pot Fragments. Collect all eight fragments to unlock the Refining Pot!]
Su Changqing’s eyes lit up at the impressive list of rewards. "The Immortal Heavenly Sword? If I unleash this weapon, my peak could be obliterated with a single strike. In its prime, it could split the heavens..." He rubbed his hands together, excitement brimming in his gaze. He couldn’t wait to use it, although he knew this weapon might be beyond even his capability.
Then there was the extraordinary Nine-Turn Sky-Filling Pill, and the new fragments—Refining Pot Fragments. Just hearing the name suggested that this treasure could refine anything, even immortals. The thought thrilled him.
Without hesitation, Su Changqing spoke, "Claim all rewards immediately!"
As his words fell, a vast, overwhelming power surged into his body, rapidly elevating his cultivation.
In the Immortal Path, cultivation typically advances slower unless one encounters great opportunities. However, Su Changqing’s cultivation, bolstered by the rewards, soared at an alarming rate, despite being in the saint realm.
He ascended through the stages:
1st stage Saint Realm: Complete!
2nd stage Saint Realm: Complete!
3rd stage Saint Realm!
In just a moment, his power surged as a mighty, saintly aura erupted from him, causing the void around him to tremble.
Boom!!!
The entire peak reverberated with the force of his breakthrough.
"Ah... that’s better." Su Changqing exhaled deeply, his eyes glowing with satisfaction.
Meanwhile, the entire Absolute Path Sect was shaken by the sudden, tremendous roar emanating from the Holy Son Peak.
"What’s happening?"
"Did the Holy Son cause that again? What is he doing up there?"
"Wait, this aura... it can’t be..."
When everyone realized what had occurred, their scalps tingled. The presence of a saint realm was unmistakable, and the intense pressure blanketed the area. Dark clouds began to gather over the Holy Son Peak.
The Holy Son made a breakthrough again?!
Amidst the commotion, Su Changqing admired the Immortal Heavenly Sword, which he had summoned from his storage.
"This is incredible!" he exclaimed, observing the fearsome black blade before him. The sheer blade energy was enough to make his skin tingle, and the void around it trembled.
But before he could study it further—
Boom!!!
The Immortal Heavenly Sword emitted a low hum, its terrifying aura escalating rapidly. The winds around Su Changqing’s room howled.
Realizing what was happening, Su Changqing quickly stored the blade away.
"Damn, it almost wrecked my place! I can’t just take that out whenever I please." He muttered.
With the sword safely away, his attention shifted to the Nine Turns Sky-Filling Pill. After examining it briefly, he swallowed it in one gulp.
Almost immediately, Su Changqing felt the spiritual energy in his body split into nine parts, merging into his dantian one by one.
"This means... when I break through the next major realm, my foundation will be even stronger." He grinned, pleased with the outcome.
What Su Changqing didn’t know was that everyone in the sect was left in awe and disbelief. They all stared at the Holy Peak with wide eyes.
"Did you feel that? The energy just now could split the heavens!"
"How did the Holy Son do that? He’s only been training for a few days and already made a breakthrough two small realms?!"
"..."
The entire sect buzzed with disbelief, their mouths dry as they tried to make sense of what had just happened. Words couldn’t capture the enormity of Su Changqing’s feat.
...
Under the sea at the Demon Sect ruins, where the ancient demon emperor had fallen, Murong Dieyi was in deep cultivation. Her aura was now several times stronger than before, and the corpses of demonic creatures were strewn around her, remnants of her recent battle for the Demon Essence Fruit.
After a while, Murong Dieyi’s eyes snapped open, her purple gaze glowing with power. "God King Realm..."
Demonic energy swirled around her, causing the surrounding waters to swirl violently.
Just as Su Changqing had predicted, the Moyuanguo had activated more of her ancient demon blood. If she could completely absorb its power, stepping into the Saint Realm would be within reach.
A stunning smile bloomed on her face. Su Changqing...
At that moment, excitement surged through her body, causing it to tremble slightly with anticipation.
"I can’t wait to see you, Su Changqing!!!" Murong Dieyi licked her lips, grinning with pleasure. How much did this man truly know about the future? A spark of battle intent flickered in her eyes.
Since she would eventually be linked to Su Changqing, it was time to test just how strong this man really was!
