Chapter 277: Immortal King, King Among Immortals!_2
And he also possessed the title of "Heavenly King," fully capable of traveling to his superior continent, the Fourth Grade Continent "Jiang Taiping Continent." He could have secluded himself there for cultivation until his Cultivation was sufficient, then officially moved to Jiang Taiping Continent from Qi Tian Continent.
The advantage of this approach was its speed, but the downside was that he would no longer possess that ruling-class strength.
His current strength, while fundamentally at a communicative level in Qi Tian Continent, wouldn't match up in "Jiang Taiping Continent." Although he hadn't crossed hands with anyone in the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, he was deeply aware that he probably couldn't defeat them, after all, there was a gap of two Great Realms, and even a high-grade Unification Killing Move wouldn't make a difference.
Just like how even a ninety-nine First Grade Golden Core could not defeat a Third Grade Divinity Transformation Domain.
Grade is such a thing.
From First Grade to Tenth Grade, the improvement is significant, but from Tenth Grade to Thirtieth Grade, the improvement gradually decreases, almost reaching a critical value, since a Unification Killing Move has its own power limit, the higher the Grade, the closer it is to this limit.
It's impossible for one to directly, through various fortunes, raise their Unification Killing Move Grade to three thousand and then instantly overpower a Fourth Grade Continent.
Of course—
Before that, he needed to prepare some Spirit Stones for himself. Although the Bai Family Patriarch had given him quite a few Spirit Stones, it still wasn't enough. Liu Zide and Taoist Sect Master once again embarked on a campaign journey at his instigation.
This time, their target was the subordinate continents of other Second Grade Continents.
A Second Grade Continent was already challenging. Even with the strength of the Taoist Sect Master, bragging blatantly in a Second Grade Continent could easily lead to sudden death.
The First Grade Continents of other Second Grade Continents were just right, albeit a bit troublesome. Each time this group returned, not only would they bring back a substantial amount of Spirit Stones, but they also helped him spread his fame and accelerated his cultivation speed, which was perfect except that it wasn't automated.
As for that Ling Pavilion Young Master.
He had already sensed his approach and could no longer launch a long-distance attack, which also meant that the opponent was dead beyond death.
Just then—
A message suddenly came through his Sound Transmission Ring, exactly from the Bai Family Patriarch, who indicated he had found a feng shui treasure land rich in Spiritual Energy and sincerely invited Chao Tian Sect to reside there.
The person wasn't bad, quite sincere, and he liked it.
However, he politely declined.
In the end, he decided to settle and cultivate in the Fourth Grade Continent. After discussing with the Bai Family Patriarch and stating he would attend the upcoming Third Grade Continent's Heavenly Dao Secret Realm on time, a glowing portal suddenly appeared in front of him.
Stepping in.
This time, he did not appear over a desolate plain but in a valley bamboo forest, where the air was rich with Spiritual Energy, with even the sounds of a spring flowing and several women's laughter like silver bells.
"So pure."
Chen Qiu stretched out his finger, looking somewhat dazed at a wisp of Spiritual Energy floating in the air. Was this the Fourth Grade Continent "Jiang Taiping Continent"? The Spiritual Energy of this continent could even condense into substance, drifting like wisps of white clouds in the air.
He subconsciously ingested a wisp, feeling his entire body suddenly warm.
And his murmuring voice instantly broke the playful atmosphere of the bamboo forest.
The next moment—
"Ah!!!"
The screams of several women echoed throughout the valley, after which, amidst the screams, several figures turned into white lights and shot away in the distance, apparently, his sudden appearance and that murmur made these frolicking women think they had encountered a perverted voyeur.
"..."
Chen Qiu expressionlessly turned his head towards the still steaming hot spring nearby and the pile of white silk clothes at his feet, momentarily speechless. Such a cliché scene had befallen him; it would be embarrassing if word were to spread.
Who was he? Did he need to peep if he wanted to see women?
Luckily, those women hadn't attacked him; otherwise, it would have been quite troublesome.
Just then!
Just as he was about to leave, the nearby hot spring suddenly began to boil fiercely. The spring water started to overflow rapidly, flowing towards the surroundings, followed by the ground shaking violently.
"Hm?"
Chen Qiu's expression changed, and immediately, Spiritual Energy surged out, his body flashed to the high sky in an instant, with the Heavenly Mechanism Umbrella in a closed position held in his hand, his eyes full of alert as he watched the ground shake beneath in the valley. It was indeed a Fourth Grade Continent.
Opportunities everywhere.
He had just set foot here when he encountered such an opportunity, though uncertain whether it was an opportunity or a catastrophe, he did not flee immediately but watched calmly.
With his strength, he felt that even in the Fourth Grade Continent, not every catastrophe should make him flee in panic, right?
Soon.
In the shaking valley, trees began to fall, the mountain cracked open, and soon, a giant composed of stones covered in moss burst forth from the mountain. The entire valley turned out to be made up of a sleeping rock giant.
This giant bearing the Cultivation of the early Mahayana Realm.
And the spring previously, turned out to be the mouth of this giant, and the steaming water was the spring water this giant held in its mouth.
"..."
Chen Qiu's pupils suddenly constricted. Just a random giant he encountered had the early stage Cultivation of the Mahayana Realm; no wonder the Bai Family Patriarch, even though he possessed late Mahayana stage Cultivation, was so intimidated by the Fourth Grade Continent.
He exhaled softly, then spoke loudly,
"Just passing by today, had no intention to disturb, if there's nothing else, I will take my leave first."
