CHAPTER 105: CHAPTER 104: GAP! FORMATION! MISCALCULATION!

In a stone palace on the mountain peak.

While Su Changqing was cultivating, Wu Jiuling was also secretly learning.

He also practiced the Heaven and Earth Divine Body. Although he couldn’t manifest Companion Dao Soldiers, he could still learn the two Divine Techniques of the Heaven-Opening Axe.

But... after observing with his quasi-emperor Divine Sense for half a day, he found that the Dao pattern was extremely obscure and difficult to comprehend.

Although he could withstand the extremely sharp aura, he couldn’t unravel the profound and complex Dao rhythm.

However, unlike him, every time Su Changqing swung the axe, his progress was clearly visible.

The Dao rhythm lingered on his axe blade, and the trajectory of his swings gradually became perfect.

"Is the gap really that big?"

Watching Su Changqing chop wood, Wu Jiuling felt a bit silent.

Su Changqing still couldn’t directly look at the Dao pattern, he could only take a glance, and had to wait for a long time before continuing to observe.

Yet even so, his progress far surpassed that of Wu Jiuling.

This formidable comprehension made him face for the first time the terrifying worth of being ranked first on the Heavenly Talents List.

"If I can’t learn the Dao pattern, I’ll learn from Chang Qing’s wood chopping!"

"I don’t believe I can’t learn it!"

Wu Jiuling gathered his energy and blood to form a large axe, observing the Dao pattern while imitating Su Changqing chopping wood.

Though it was slightly embarrassing for a teacher to secretly learn a student’s techniques, Wu Jiuling blushed a bit.

But this was the ultimate legacy of the Martial Ancestor!

Even this half-disabled person couldn’t resist wanting to comprehend it.

...

A day passed in the blink of an eye.

Su Changqing, who didn’t know how much firewood he had chopped, had a clarity in his eyes as if it was about to overflow.

Without any hesitation, he sat cross-legged, took out a bottle of blood essence, and swallowed it.

Bang!

The surging and thick energy and blood made Su Changqing’s face flush, and he immersed his mind, entering the chaotic world.

Su Changqing extended his right hand, slowly condensing the thick handle of the Heaven-Opening Axe, followed by the axe width and blade.

In the blink of an eye, the Heaven-Opening Axe, filled with the ultimate strength and aesthetic, fully manifested.

Su Changqing took a deep breath, looked at the chaotic Heaven and Earth in front of him, and grasped the Heaven-Opening Axe with both hands,

"Open the sky!"

Su Changqing gripped the axe with both hands, twisting his body to harness all his power, striking upwards fiercely.

The axe cut through chaos, following a profound trajectory, with Dao runes on the axe blade radiating a faint light.

Bang!

Sharp to the extreme, the solidified axe light split Heaven and Earth open, as massive amounts of clear air rose, and the ’sky’ appeared to rise visibly higher.

Su Changqing’s face turned abruptly pale, as an entire bottle of blood essence was consumed just to execute one powerful swing.

Yet, even so, his face was filled with joy.

This single axe strike exceeded the power of a hundred swings he normally executed!

At this moment, Heaven and Earth rose a hundred feet high, with large amounts of chaotic essence merging into the world.

Su Changqing could clearly feel his physical body and internal energy and blood increasing dramatically.

"Open the sky, I’ve only grasped the basics, yet it is so powerful."

"If I could comprehend the complete ’Open the Sky’ and ’Split the Earth’, wouldn’t just two swings be enough for the small accomplishment of the Divine Body?"

Su Changqing’s face showed excitement as he immediately exited the chaotic world.

This time, he aimed to fully comprehend ’Open the Sky’ and ’Split the Earth’, directly cleaving open Heaven and Earth, achieving the small accomplishment of the Divine Body!

"The stone axe feels lighter."

Su Changqing picked up the stone axe, and instantly felt the change in his body.

He had just needed two hands to lift the stone axe, but now he could easily lift the thousand-pound stone axe with one hand.

"It’s still too early to unseal it now; I’ll wait a few more days."

Su Changqing calmed his mind, looked at the Heaven-Opening Axe Dao pattern in front of him, and began cultivating again.

And Wu Jiuling, in the shadows, was even more bewildered at this moment.

"In the blink of an eye, I can’t even understand the wood chopping anymore?"

...

At this moment on the mountain peak.

"Young master, what is Su Changqing practicing? I can’t understand it."

Old Sun looked at the Dao pattern hanging in front of Su Changqing, somewhat puzzled.

In his eyes, the Dao pattern of the Heaven-Opening Axe looked just like an ordinary painting.

"Ha, just chopping wood to train the Divine Body."

Wu Yong glanced at it and then lost interest, "My cheap teacher is just a mid-level King, what powerful Divine Body can he teach?"

"Once my Primordial Celestial Divine Body is perfected, I’ll find a good one for Chang Qing."

Though Su Changqing was a cheap senior brother, Wu Yong found their conversation quite to his liking.

A Divine Body Foundation Establishment method is nothing to him.

"Old Sun, I’ve picked the place, keep an eye on my cheap teacher, don’t let him find out."

Wu Yong spoke solemnly as he arrived at a hidden spot on the mountain peak.

"Don’t worry, as long as I’m here, no one will discover it, right?"

Old Sun sat idly on a large rock, speaking casually.

Upon hearing this, Wu Yong took a deep breath, waved his large sleeve, and a hazy light immediately spread across the ground.

Within were spirit stones, mysterious iron, jade crystals, array plates... and so on, a variety of spirit materials, quite complex.

Wu Yong casually picked up a piece of mysterious iron, and with hazy light at his fingertips, began inscribing lines upon it.

In just the blink of an eye, he tossed this piece aside and picked up another.

Seeing Wu Yong’s speed in inscribing the array base, Old Sun sighed helplessly.

A natural talent for arrays, yet he insists on following the wrong path.

"Primordial Celestial Divine Body... it would be a miracle to achieve it."

Old Sun smirked, constantly watching Wu Jiuling’s movements.

Little did they know.

Just as Wu Yong started his work, the slight tremor of spiritual energy attracted two massive divine senses that instantly enveloped the area.

"Array? What is this little fatty up to?"

Wu Jiuling raised an eyebrow, muttering to himself.

"Inscribing an array... is this young master’s junior brother not simple too?"

Uncle Fu, who was recuperating from injuries, took a thoughtful glance.

...

Old Sun’s divine sense in the Saint Realm did not notice at all, that a Great Saint and a quasi-emperor had already swept the area several times.

He was still confident, constantly watching Wu Jiuling’s movements.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

Wu Yong’s eyes were bloodshot, and he was crouching and continuously inscribing something on the ground.

Looking around, within a few hundred feet, strange lines were densely inscribed everywhere.

As the last stroke was completed, Wu Yong happily clapped his hands and stood up,

"It’s done!"

As soon as the words fell, he waved his large sleeve, and the pre-inscribed array bases were arranged in a special pattern, scattered on the ground nearby.

"Condense!"

With a gesture at his fingertips, the array patterns on the ground emitted a faint light, and those array bases suddenly plunged into the ground.

In no time, the intricate array patterns inscribed within a few hundred feet transformed in appearance.

The six main peaks, the various resource towers densely packed, the whole view inside the Little Immortal Sect was now clearly visible within this array.

"Hehe, once my ’sub-array’ is completed, influencing the grand array beneath the Little Immortal Sect won’t be a problem at all?"

Wu Yong nodded his head in satisfaction, then looked at Old Sun and asked, "The elders didn’t notice, right?"

"Rest assured, everything is under control." Old Sun pounded his chest confidently.

"Next, it’s harvest time!"

Wu Yong excitedly licked his lips and stepped into the array.

Within the array, a red resource tower flashed with light, and Wu Yong instantly disappeared from where he stood.

"Ah, my young master truly is a genius."

Seeing this, Old Sun exclaimed in admiration.

But just as his words fell...

"Pfft! Damn it!"

In the blink of an eye, Wu Yong was thrown out of the array, vomiting blood.

"Ugh..."

Old Sun was stunned, hurriedly helping Wu Yong up, "Young master, did you mess up the array? Didn’t you lower the difficulty of the trial?"

"I lowered it by fifty percent."

Wu Yong said with resentment, "But I still can’t pass even with the trial lowered by fifty percent!"

Old Sun almost burst into laughter upon hearing this.

At this moment, Wu Yong had no resources, let alone inscribing array patterns with his blood and bones.

Aside from a weak force of blood and qi, he was only slightly stronger than an ordinary person.

With such strength, even if the trial’s difficulty was lowered by fifty percent, it wasn’t something he could overcome.

Wu Yong had calculated everything but underestimated his own strength.

His expression was uncertain, feeling frustrated as he said:

"The plan needs to change, I need to find a strong enough partner."

Old Sun hesitated and said, "The most suitable one would be your senior brother."

Wu Yong’s eyes brightened, but when he saw Chang Qing still chopping wood like an ordinary person, he twitched his mouth,

"No, I need to deceive someone else to help."

As soon as the words fell, Wu Yong immediately turned and walked down the mountain.

...

Not long after Wu Yong went down the mountain.

Chang Qing, who had been chopping wood for three days, suddenly stopped.

At this point, the sharpness on his body and the enlightenment in his eyes had already reached a peak!

"Opening heaven and earth, so that’s how it is."

Chang Qing sat cross-legged on the spot, took out the remaining three bottles of demon beast blood essence, and murmured,

"Today, the breakthrough to the small success of the Divine Body!"
