Chapter 74: Developing Ultimate Techniques
That gourd inherited the abilities of both the Thunderbolt Sword and the Weeping Sword.
But the techniques performed by these two inherent treasures were completely different.
For instance, the Thunderbolt Sword.
The activation method for the Qingping Sword was to unleash a complete blade light, even forming a sword net.
But the gourd spat out sword qi directly from its mouth.
The sound was like “tat-tat-tat-tat…”, reminiscent of a Gatling gun.
Not just that.
Liu Shunyi also applied his understanding of electromagnetic force to his inherent treasure.
Then Liu Shunyi discovered something extraordinary.
When the gourd concentrated the electromagnetic force to its peak before spewing it out,
it unleashed a colossal beam of light capable of destroying heaven and earth.
“What the heck, a giant electromagnetic cannon!”
And when the Qingping Sword concentrated the electromagnetic force and released it,
“Boom~”
A massive mushroom cloud rose up.
“Goodness gracious, I seem to have developed two astonishing things!”
Liu Shunyi thought for a moment.
He decided to stow the Qingping Sword inside the gourd.
Then, he burned his magical energy, propelling the electromagnetic force between the two to its utmost, before finally launching it.
“Swish~”
Liu Shunyi only saw a flash of white light.
Then the air fell into a serene silence.
“Ah?”
Liu Shunyi was dumbfounded.
What the heck was going on?
Shouldn’t the power of their fusion be even more terrifying?
Why did it just fizzle out?
This shouldn’t be the case!
Just as Liu Shunyi was filled with confusion,
the space in front of him suddenly shattered.
Then the broken area expanded rapidly.
When the space had fractured to a certain degree,
a giant centipede suddenly dropped from the void.
It crashed down heavily onto the ground.
Liu Shunyi: “????”
Because there was the Qingping Sword stuck in the centipede’s head.
Liu Shunyi recalled the Qingping Sword.
Looking at this creature that had previously wreaked havoc on the battlefield against the Sect Alliance, he fell into contemplation.
“Am I really that amazing?”
At this moment, Liu Shunyi glanced over at Shi Changxin in the distance.
“You’ve surprised me. Your soul is damaged to this extent, and you can still remain conscious and even summon that beast!”
Shi Changxin looked at Liu Shunyi with shock.
“Who exactly are you? And what are those two inherent treasures of yours?!”
Liu Shunyi didn’t answer Shi Changxin’s questions.
Instead, he smiled broadly at him.
“You’re quite impressive; you’ve turned orange on the scoreboard!”
Shi Changxin looked perplexed.
“What does that mean? What color?!”
Meanwhile, Liu Shunyi chuckled mischievously.
“Actually, this gourd of mine is a divine treasure with another ability!”
Shi Changxin: “????”
Liu Shunyi directly aimed the gourd at Shi Changxin.
“Shoop~ Bang…”
Shi Changxin was instantly sucked into the gourd.
And inside that gourd, as Ye Yan had said,
there was a world.
But it wasn’t just a small world; it was thirty-six separate worlds.
Each of these worlds existed independently.
“This is truly an incredible treasure!”
At the same time, Liu Shunyi said to Shi Changxin, “You’ll be my tool forever in this gourd. Don’t worry, I won’t shortchange you; in fact, whenever I find something good, I’ll think of you first!”
Shi Changxin instantly felt a dark cloud descend over his future.
“No, senior, I’m sorry! Let me out! I promise I won’t tell anyone about you! I can swear!”
Liu Shunyi laughed.
“Either live well in my gourd or face death!”
Seeing that begging for mercy was futile,
Shi Changxin chose self-detonation.
However, no matter how he tried to explode himself,
the spiritual energy in his body showed no reaction.
“You—you devil!”
Shi Changxin finally realized.
Inside this gourd,
everything was no longer under his control.
Life and death rested in Liu Shunyi’s hands.
Then,
Shi Changxin dropped to his knees.
His eyes glazed over.
“Bwahahaha, ahahaha…”
He’s lost it!
Liu Shunyi was stunned.
“What the heck, is a heart like that so fragile?”
He hurriedly fed him a spirit-reviving pill with magic runes.
After Shi Changxin swallowed it, his eyes regained clarity.
“No, why can you bring me back to my senses? You… ah…”
Shi Changxin continuously banged his head against the stones of the gourd world.
But there was no way a Nascent Soul could pretend to be dead.
Shi Changxin fell apart again.
Liu Shunyi fed him another spirit-reviving pill.
He woke up and then fell apart once again.
Liu Shunyi, feeling exasperated, fed him yet another spirit-reviving pill.
Shi Changxin fell silent.
This time, he didn’t spiral into despair.
Instead, he sat there in a stupor.
Liu Shunyi sighed.
“Looks like keeping you as a pet isn’t realistic. Once a person loses their goal, knowing they have a dark future, there’s no reason to live anymore. Once they ponder death, they become a useless person!”
Shi Changxin managed a bitter smile.
“You’re not wrong!”
In the end, Liu Shunyi shook his head.
“Who told me to be merciful? Alright, I’ll just kill you then!”
Shi Changxin: “…”
But in the end, Shi Changxin still said, “Thank you!”

Meanwhile, Liu Shunyi sat cross-legged on the ground.
He began to burn his vital blood, spirit, and body to cultivate.
Shi Changxin’s visibly decaying body slowly turned into a dried corpse.
Eventually, it turned to dust.
And Liu Shunyi’s cultivation level directly entered the peak of the Golden Core stage.
The cultivation ended.
Looking at Shi Changxin’s name disappearing,
Liu Shunyi felt a twinge of regret.
“You could have continued to grow, but you killed too recklessly and knew too much, so you had to bite the dust!”
At the same time,
Liu Shunyi felt his own cultivation increasing.
He was genuinely shocked.
By burning the soul, vital blood, and body of a Nascent Soul cultivator as a price, and absorbing the spiritual energy from the heavens and earth, he advanced to the Golden Core mid-stage in just one day.
“Hmmm, if I continue burning Nascent Soul cultivators, wouldn’t I be able to reach the Nascent Soul stage in no time?”
With this thought,
Liu Shunyi grew excited.
He then began his search for targets.
……
……
In the blink of an eye, three years had passed.
Liu Shunyi found himself in another part of Qinzhou, feeling dumbfounded.
Because he discovered something troubling.
This is ridiculous!
Not to mention the Nascent Soul stage,
he hadn’t even seen many Golden Core cultivators.
Moreover, even at the Golden Core level, those below the Golden Core weren’t even qualified to step into the Golden Path.
And the once orange-named Lin Wudao had now turned purple.
“This is outrageous!”
Liu Shunyi was getting ready to head back.
At last, he understood why all the cultivators in Qinzhou were in the northern half—because the southern half of Qinzhou was truly poor.
However, just when Liu Shunyi was about to return,
a major incident suddenly occurred in the southern half of Qinzhou.
“Ancient ruins have appeared! No one knows who shouted, but the entire Qinzhou erupted!”
Then, Liu Shunyi saw.
The void in the sky suddenly opened up to reveal countless rifts.
Immediately after, members of various sects emerged riding flying ships from the void.
What shocked Liu Shunyi the most was that he saw the flying ship of the Qinglian Sect.
And leading the Qinglian Sect was Zhao Gou.
Other sect members looked at Zhao Gou with a mix of fear and respect.
Liu Shunyi: “????”
