RAAS Chapter 84: The World Of Qin Mo (3)

| Previous | Table of Contents | Next |

In the system space, time is essentially frozen relative to the outside world. No matter how long Qin Mo and Shi Qing spend inside, the moment they return to the cultivation world, it will still be the same as when they left.

However, within the system space, time still flows normally for them, minute by minute, second by second. But now, with the effect of the small house, time can accelerate rapidly—one day inside is equivalent to a year outside. For cultivating internal energy techniques, this is an absolutely divine advantage.

Advancing in cultivation requires not only an inherently gifted physique but also a certain level of comprehension and various opportunities. Yet, even with these factors, it still demands an immense amount of time.

But now, with this ridiculously overpowered and bizarre small house, they no longer have to worry about that.

With the perfect combination of time, place, and people, cultivation becomes limitless—reaching any realm they desire is no longer a problem.

Shi Qing recalled the cultivation novels he had read in the past and suddenly felt like he had stepped onto an absurdly overpowered path to greatness. This was undoubtedly the fast track to becoming a god in mere moments!

He had read countless stories where protagonists were loaded with cheat-like abilities, but damn—none of them were as broken as he was!

Shi Qing's mouth almost twisted from grinning so hard. As expected, following the host really paid off. This kind of rapid-leveling experience was simply too amazing!

Qin Mo explained everything he needed to, and Shi Qing listened attentively, memorizing every detail. Then, the two of them began their closed-door cultivation.

To some extent, Shi Qing was unbelievably lucky.

His original body was just that of an ordinary person. Even if he had access to top-tier cultivation techniques, he would never have been able to withstand the strain, making cultivation completely impossible. As a result, he ended up dying. Later, he purchased a regular body from the system store. While it came with the incredible skill of "Godspeed," the body's natural attributes were mediocre, and even with enhancement using currency points, it had an upper limit.

But then, he encountered an incredibly powerful host who spent a whopping 100,000 points to buy him a red panda’s body.

That 100,000 points were well spent. The red panda’s body came with innate endurance and stamina boosts, both of which made it highly suitable for cultivating most internal energy techniques. It even excelled in practical spellcasting. Then, Shi Qing enhanced it to the highest level, skyrocketing his physical capabilities from that of an ordinary human to something almost superhuman.

On top of that, Qin Mo selected the most suitable cultivation technique for him. With all these advantages stacked together, Shi Qing, who had originally been a talentless fool with no chance of success even if he encountered great opportunities, was now rising to prominence at an unstoppable pace.

One had to admit… luck was a kind of power, too.

No need to question how it happened—by the time their closed-door cultivation ended, Shi Qing had become a rising star in the cultivation world!

In just two years, he had advanced from an ordinary civilian to a Nascent Soul Stage Level 9 cultivator. If Shi Qing claimed to be the second strongest, no one would dare to claim the first!

At this level of sheer dominance, Shi Qing, a simple-minded commoner at heart, couldn't help but celebrate: \\(≧▽≦)/ La la la! This is so exciting!

For him, it had only been two years, but that was based on the time inside their cultivation space. In real-world time, over 600 years had passed. So, with that perspective, his rapid progress didn’t seem so exaggerated after all.

Shi Qing excitedly felt the endless flow of spiritual energy within him, as well as the lively little figure in the depths of his dantian. How fascinating! He used to think the Nascent Soul Stage was just something cool from books, but now that he was experiencing it firsthand, it was truly incredible.

His spiritual energy surged boundlessly, and the little figure in his dantian was vividly detailed, looking extremely energetic. Even more surprising was his newfound perception—his awareness expanded rapidly, instantly covering the entire system space.

Although he was sitting in his bedroom, he could see every corner of the small building with absolute clarity, perceiving everything distinctly.

Just as he was happily exploring with his divine sense, a stronger and more powerful spiritual awareness suddenly enveloped him. Shi Qing was slightly startled, but he immediately felt a strong sense of familiarity. Then, that overwhelmingly dominant spiritual sense began to guide him, leading him through intricate techniques with incredible precision and concentration.

In just a few hours, Shi Qing had gained immense insight. His initially overactive spiritual awareness became much more disciplined, and he could now see even farther and deeper with greater precision.

As soon as Qin Mo withdrew his guidance, the vastness Shi Qing had just experienced suddenly contracted. Shi Qing understood that he had just borrowed Qin Mo’s power—reaching that level on his own would still take time and effort.

Retracting his divine sense, Shi Qing opened his eyes, turned to look at the person beside him, and smiled with squinted eyes. “Qin Mo, long time no see.”

Qin Mo didn’t reply with words. Instead, he wrapped an arm around Shi Qing’s waist and kissed his slightly upturned lips. Indeed, it had been a long time. Whether it was two years or six hundred, even if it had passed in the blink of an eye, he still felt like it had been far too long.

After an intense exchange of passion, Shi Qing, panting, leaned against Qin Mo’s chest, expressing his strong discontent over waking up only to be immediately subjected to such an encounter. However, considering that Qin Mo had been celibate for over six hundred years, it seemed… understandable?

Shi Qing’s bizarre thought process began running wild again.

Qin Mo pulled him back to reality with a single sentence: “Nascent Soul Stage Level 9?”

Shi Qing nodded and quickly added, “I can’t seem to break through the last barrier to reach the Soul Fusion Stage, no matter what I try.”

Qin Mo explained, “You’re already doing well. Don’t rush it—Soul Fusion requires complete synchronization with your nascent soul. Focus on stabilizing your primordial spirit first.”

Shi Qing wasn’t anxious at all. In fact, he was more than satisfied. Throughout the entire Lingyun Continent, Nascent Soul Level 9 cultivators were extremely rare.

He turned to look at Qin Mo. From his appearance, it was impossible to tell how much progress he had made, but his demeanor was even more composed and steady than before. Shi Qing had no idea what Qin Mo had been cultivating or how far he had advanced.

Before he started cultivating, the path of cultivation seemed profound and mysterious. But now that he had stepped into this world and ascended so rapidly, Shi Qing’s perspective had broadened significantly.

His incredible speed of progress was largely thanks to Qin Mo choosing the right cultivation technique for him.

The "Serene Heart Technique"—a method that aligned perfectly with the natural flow of the Dao. It required an untroubled heart, unwavering focus, and a peaceful mindset, promoting benevolence and emotional stability. These qualities made it an ideal technique for Shi Qing, an exceedingly rare and exceptional cultivation method.

The "Serene Heart Technique" was undeniably remarkable, but it was absolutely unsuitable for someone like Qin Mo.

A person’s fundamental nature could never be concealed from themselves.

If one forcibly cultivated a technique that didn’t suit their nature, they might achieve some progress, but they would never reach the highest levels.

And as for Qin Mo…

Shi Qing sighed. He didn’t care what Qin Mo cultivated, but he knew that internal cultivation techniques had a subtle yet profound impact on a cultivator’s personality over time.

The good will become better, and the bad will become worse.

But whether it is good or bad, Shi Qing couldn't tell.

He turned around to look at Qin Mo again. He couldn't sense the slightest trace of darkness from him. He had become more stable, more mature, and even more powerful. Leaning on him, Shi Qing felt an overwhelming sense of security.

The Qin Mo of today was far more composed than when Shi Qing first met him.

Back then, the darkness in Qin Mo's heart almost completely overflowed. His black eyes were filled with dead silence, containing nothing but doubt toward everything and an all-consuming hatred.

But now, Qin Mo would smile at him, speak patiently, and in those ever-dark eyes, there was a reflection of him—sometimes even filled with tenderness.

Shi Qing's heart gradually settled. He felt that his host was indeed changing for the better.

Right? That had to be it.

As he thought about it, he unknowingly drifted off to sleep.

In his dream, there seemed to be a faint voice saying something. He had understood it at the time, but the moment he woke up, he forgot.

—The night will eventually swallow the day, and the appearance of light is merely because he has learned to conceal.

After every that, Shi Qing would always feel incredibly sleepy, and when he woke up, he would feel refreshed and full of energy.

He never noticed it before when he hadn’t cultivated, but ever since he entered the 'Dao,' he clearly felt it.

Damn, why does sleeping after doing it feel like his spiritual power has skyrocketed?

Does that even make sense?

Well… this world has never been logical. If he kept dwelling on it, Shi Qing was sure his brainpower would be running on empty again. Better stop while he was ahead!

As soon as he woke up, he eagerly turned to Qin Mo. "Shall we head out?"

Qin Mo had been holding him the entire time, staying completely still so he could sleep peacefully. Seeing Shi Qing awake, he simply replied, "Alright."

After leaving the system space, they returned to the cave. Shi Qing couldn't help but ask, "Are we heading straight to Mo Bamboo Forest?" He still remembered where Lu Jiuyuan was.

Qin Mo shook his head. "No need. He’ll come to us."

"Huh?" Shi Qing was surprised. "How would he know where we are?"

"Bloodline." Qin Mo gave a self-deprecating smile. "His blood runs in my veins."

That meant Lu Jiuyuan could locate him through divine sense. Finding him was only a matter of time.

Unlike Qin Mo, who remained indifferent, Shi Qing grew anxious. "That means we’re exposed while he’s hidden! Isn’t that too passive?" Then, another thought hit him. "Why not switch bodies? That way, he won’t be able to find you."

"I'm afraid of him not finding me."

Shi Qing was stunned.

Qin Mo gently ran his fingers over the exposed white skin of Shi Qing’s neck and whispered, "Don't worry. This filthy blood… I will destroy it myself."

Shi Qing was dumbfounded.

Those deep black eyes gradually calmed again. Qin Mo instead took his hand and said softly, "Come, let’s get you used to it."

Xuanming Sect.

Mo Yan's eyes suddenly snapped open, his black pupils contracting. He abruptly stood up.

That overwhelming divine sense swept through—an all-too-familiar feeling.

That fool Lu Jiuyuan had finally realized his prey was missing.

A little faster than expected, but still within control.

Nan Xiangming had already reached the Qianlin Secret Realm. As long as he obtained the Soul-Locking Mirror in time, the advantage would be his.

Hopefully, Qin Mo could hold out long enough and not get devoured by his dear father so soon.

Mo Yan glanced at the empty mirror handle beside him and slowly chuckled.

That’s why Lu Jiuyuan would always be beneath him. The fool only knew brute force and never used his brain. If he actually managed to ascend, it would be the joke of the century.

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

Let’s see just how interesting this show gets.
