Immortality: Raising an Ant Queen to Cultivate by increasing stat points Chapter 542: 534 Xiao Qing's Opportunity

Chapter 542: Chapter 534 Xiao Qing’s Opportunity

He tried to channel a sliver of the dicine King Sutra’s cultivation power from his fingertip, accompanied by a faint golden hue.

It was only as thick as a strand of hair.

If it were in the Spirit Qi Realm, such a fine thread of cultivation power could still enhance the attack by borrowing a part of the Heavenly Earthly Power. But this enhancent could at most reach tenfold.

At this mont, however, the strand of dicine King Sutra’s cultivation power was directly invoking the might of the heavens and earth in the vicinity, effortlessly amplifying its own power by as much as a hundredfold.

The sensation of wielding the power of heaven and earth was exhilarating.

It gave him a feeling of supremacy over the heavens and the earth, a sense of exaltation that far surpassed the terrestrial authority wielded by emperors among n.

No wonder so many leaders of sects were doing everything in their power to attend the Water and Land Dharma Assembly, all for the chance to gain favor with the immortals and ascend one day to beco an Immortal Master. The power over n might feel quite good at first, but with ti, it inevitably becos dull.

Only the joy derived from harnessing the power of heaven and earth could last indefinitely, without the emptiness and tastelessness that sets in once the novelty wore off.

Before Qin Niu had advanced to the Immortal Scholar Realm, he had rely thought that Immortal Masters were high above, transcendent and unapproachable, worthy only of admiration. But now that he had truly advanced to the Immortal Scholar Realm, he realized it wasn’t as grand as he had imagined.

He had heard that once one advanced to the Immortal Scholar Realm, one would be able to learn spells and cast them.

As for how exactly to cast spells and how to practice them, he was completely clueless.

This further fueled Qin Niu’s desire to gain favor with the immortals and enter the Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect. Because all those advanced cultivation resources and thods were in the hands of the Immortal Sects.

Now that he had successfully advanced to the Immortal Scholar Realm, he could finally take Xiao Qing to explore the second layer beneath the ground.

Having received this trendous opportunity, Qin Niu hoped to help Xiao Qing also find good fortune and perhaps even locate her parents and relatives.

“Xiao Qing!”

He called out, but heard no response.

Looking around, he realized that he was the only one left on this first underground layer.

Could it be that she grew tired of waiting and went back up by herself?

That was a possibility.

Qin Niu imdiately took a step forward, light as a feather, and in an instant, he arrived at the exit leading to the first layer.

He was surprised to find that the power of the Misty Rain Elusive Step had increased by more than tenfold.

Is this the benefit that cos with advancing to the Immortal Scholar Realm?

The power of his martial skills increased tenfold in an instant.

If the power of the Step-thod Martial Skill had exploded tenfold, then the sa should apply to other martial skills.

At this thought, a small wave of excitent surged in his heart.

When casting the Slash Martial Skill in the Spirit Qi Realm, it was already formidable enough to annihilate a ninth-level Infant Demon. Now that he had advanced to the Immortal Scholar Realm and the power of his Slash Martial Skill had surged tenfold, how strong would that be?

“Master Qin!”

Chi Xing saw Qin Niu erging from the first underground layer, and the aura he exuded made Chi Xing feel terror and despair.

He couldn’t help being shocked, fearing that Master Qin had made a significant breakthrough in his strength.

Such a formidable aura; he had only felt it from Immortal Masters.

“You, have you broken through to the Immortal Scholar Realm?” Chi Xing was both shocked and overjoyed.

He involuntarily used a more respectful tone when addressing Qin Niu.

“Sort of! I’m not quite sure myself. Where is my maidservant Xiao Qing?” asked Qin Niu.

He had expected to find Xiao Qing on the first layer, but she was nowhere to be seen.

Knowing her as he did, Qin Niu was aware that without any major unforeseen event, Xiao Qing would not be so mischievous. To leave without a word had never happened before.

“Didn’t she follow you down to the bottom of the tower? She hasn’t ever co back up!” Chi Xing said with a bewildered expression.

“Ah…”

It dawned on Qin Niu that it was very likely she had gone down to the second underground layer by herself.

The fact that she didn’t respond when he called out earlier was definitely not a good sign.

He hoped desperately that nothing had happened to her.

His heart plumted, and with a flash, he re-entered the bottomless layer of the tower.

This ti, he encountered no resistance.

He wasn’t sure if the defensive formation had been broken, or if his advancent to the Immortal Scholar Realm allowed him to ignore the formation’s repelling force.

“Xiao Qing!”

Qin Niu called out loudly.

Still, there was no answer; she definitely must have gone down to the second underground layer.

“`

I’m afraid sothing has already gone wrong.

Qin Niu drew the Ink Blade and charged towards the entrance to the second layer below.

No sooner had he barged in than an unsurpassable force of resistance pushed him out fiercely. Even when he deployed the dicine King Sutra and summoned the Alchemy Stove outside his body, it was to no avail.

Keep in mind, he was now an Immortal Master and had the Ink Blade in hand; ordinary defensive formations were simply not worth ntioning in his eyes.

He lifted the sword and struck the entrance to the second layer heavily.

Bang!

The Ink Blade slashed out a black line in the air.

The space itself seed to warp a little.

With the Critical Chop and Rupture effects of the Slash Martial Skill, combined with the inherent power of the Ink Blade, the strike could not only tear through the heavens and earth but at the very least tear a deep fissure into the ground.

However, this slash upon the entrance to the second layer underground was akin to striking an incredibly hard cover.

All of the slashing force was reflected back.

The Ink Blade in Qin Niu’s hand almost flew out due to the rebound. Had it not been for his attainnt in the Immortal Scholar Realm which graced him with nimble reflexes, he narrowly dodged to the side, avoiding dire consequences. He could have easily died by his own attack.

The defensive formation of the dicine King Tower’s negative second floor was indeed stronger than that of the first floor.

Seeing that a brute force attack was clearly impossible to breach the defense, Qin Niu scratched his head in anxiety.

“Could the Green Demon Bee break through?”

At this ti, Qin Niu thought of relying on Summoning Pets to break the formation.

Aside from Green Ox, who was too large to bring along, all his other pets were with him.

The first one that ca to mind was the Green Demon Bee.

Because the Green Demon Bee had already advanced to the Ninth Level and was currently striking towards the Tenth Level. Its combat power was incredibly formidable.

It had been the Green Demon Bee that had initially shattered the Mirage Insect’s avatar.

Qin Niu summoned it from within the Hundred Treasures Insect Bag.

The Green Demon Bee had devoured all its offspring to try to advance, but still failed to reach the Tenth Level. It remained a Ninth Level Insect Pet.

For insect creatures, advancing to Tenth Level was exceedingly difficult.

“Go, break the defensive formation ahead, and then I’ll help you break through to Tenth Level.”

Now that Qin Niu had advanced to Tenth Level, he seed clearly more confident when facing this powerful pet.

For a prolonged period in the past, he was stuck in the awkward predicant where the master was weaker than his pets.

With its high intelligence, upon hearing Qin Niu’s promise, the Green Demon Bee imdiately flew excitedly towards the entrance that led to the second underground layer.

However, it received the sa treatnt as Qin Niu.

Hardly had it flown in when it was harshly bounced out and fell to the ground. Despite its formidable defenses and not being hurt, it flapped its wings and took off again, charging towards the entrance to the second layer underground.

It was still harshly bounced back.

After trying repeatedly, the Green Demon Bee reluctantly gave up.

Seeing that the Green Demon Bee was ineffective, Qin Niu prepared to try the Termites instead.

A multitude of Termites were summoned, rushing toward the entrance to the second underground layer. They too were blocked, then they ca together to form the All-Heaven Myriad Insects Formation and launched an attack on the defensive formation.

Unfortunately, all their efforts were in vain.

They were like ants trying to shake a tree, entirely unable to break the defensive formation.

Just as Qin Niu was about to think of other thods, a figure shot out from the second underground layer, it was Xiao Qing.

On her forehead was a striking purple fla totem.

Her face was tear-streaked, as if she had cried in sorrow, her eyes swollen.

“Master!”

Xiao Qing’s voice was sowhat hoarse.

“I was just worried that you might encounter danger down there. I’m glad you ca out safe.”

Qin Niu said gently to comfort her.

“I’m sorry for making Master worry. I was observing the entrance to the second underground layer when suddenly, a great force pulled in. But I didn’t encounter much danger inside. Instead, I gained so significant opportunities. This is the Purple Fla Divine Fire seed that I acquired down there.”

Xiao Qing extended her right hand, opened it, and as her mind moved, a ball of purple fla danced in her palm.

It was identical to the purple fire that filled the first underground layer.

The only difference was that this ball of Purple Fla Divine Fire was produced by Xiao Qing through the seed. As long as her cultivation power was sufficient, she could endlessly display this kind of purple fire.

“It’s wonderful that you could gain such a significant opportunity. Do not let others easily find out about your acquisition of the Purple Fla Divine Fire seed; it will greatly benefit your alchemy in the future.”

Qin Niu instructed her.
