Chapter 509: I'm Letting You Win!

Qingcai Keke: Lao Zhangtou

Qingcai Keke: When will you reach the Ninth Stage?

Qingcai Keke: @Nainai Zongshuo

Haoran Zhengqi: Speaking of which, don't you two live right next door? If you turn off the soundproofing barrier and just say it toward the wall, wouldn't they hear you?

Qingcai Keke: That would be so uncivilized.

Haoran Zhengqi: I see...

Haoran Zhengqi: /eating melon seeds

Haoran Zhengqi: @Nainai Zongshuo

Wuming Renshi: Such a familiar expression.

Nainai Zongshuo: What is it? Always tagging people, can't you talk without tagging someone?

Nainai Zongshuo: You two silly dogs.

Qingdeng Gufu: Amitabha, Qingcai Caike is asking you.

Nainai Zongshuo: Still a long way off.

Nainai Zongshuo: At least another month, I suppose.

Nainai Zongshuo: Sigh, this Eighth Stage to Ninth Stage is just more strenuous than Seventh Stage to Eighth Stage /wiping sweat

Jiu Jiao Luo Huaian Suan Le: /eating melon seeds

Bakua Fuji de Meinü: Why do I feel like it's about the same?

Bakua Fuji de Meinü: /confused

Bakua Fuji de Meinü: Although the difficulty from Eighth Stage to Ninth Stage has increased, after reaching the Eighth Stage, one can draw more Divine Power from the mark.

Zhong Miao Zhi Men: No need to @ me, I'm here myself!

Zhong Miao Zhi Men: Nainai, you wouldn't happen to be intentionally stating a longer time just to relax Qingcai's crystal, would you?

Haoran Zhengqi: Vigilant.

Zhong Miao Zhi Men:...

Qingdeng Gufu: Amitabha, that is highly probable.

Nainai Zongshuo: /complex expression

Nainai Zongshuo: Fine, I'll show my cards! I admit it! I'll break through to the Ninth Stage within a week! Success on the first try!

Nainai Zongshuo: How about that? Are you panicking?

Nainai Zongshuo: @Qingcai Keke

Haoran Zhengqi: /eating melon seeds

Qingcai Keke: A little.

Qingcai Keke: You're way too fast.

Qingcai Keke: It can be called godlike speed.

Zhong Miao Zhi Men: /eating melon seeds

Wuming Renshi: No need to panic, I'm only at the Seventh Stage.

Qingdeng Gufu: Wuming is still kind-hearted.

Qingcai Keke: I wonder what it feels like after the Ninth Stage.

Nainai Zongshuo: I'm looking forward to it too.

Nainai Zongshuo: With the blessing of Divine Power, wouldn't that leave ordinary Ninth Stage cultivators eighteen streets behind?

Qingdeng Gufu: /eating melon seeds

Nainai Zongshuo:???

Nainai Zongshuo: What is wrong with you silly dogs? Every time you send this expression, I get a bad premonition!

Jiu Jiao Luo Huaian Suan Le: About time.

Jiu Jiao Luo Huaian Suan Le: @Qingcai Keke

Qingcai Keke: Alright.

Qingcai Keke: Come to the room next door, I'll let you see what a Ninth Stage cultivated with the blessing of Divine Power looks like.

Nainai Zongshuo: Mother! Fucker!

Wuming Renshi:...

Huran Bikouli: You guys are still the most shameless.

Chen Shu vaguely heard a shout from next door, which immediately made his mood a bit better.

He then continued typing—

Qingcai Keke: The bet we made back then, except for me and Qingqing, all of you lost.

Haoran Zhengqi: /complex expression

Zhong Miao Zhi Men: Good thing there was no stake.

Bakua Fuji de Meinü: Yeah, otherwise we'd have to act like dogs again.

Qingdeng Gufu: Amitabha...

Wuming Renshi: What bet?

Wuming Renshi: Betting on who would promote to the Ninth Stage first?

Jiu Jiao Luo Huaian Suan Le: Rare for you to be smart once.

Qingcai Keke: Yes.

Wuming Renshi: Oh.

Chen Shu thought to himself at this moment, he must be feeling quite emotional.

Their bet this time in the Zhu Ti Wei Mian was not agreed upon online, but arranged offline, and the Nameless Person also participated, and later the first to advance to the Ninth Stage was the Nameless Person—after curing the Genius Disease, his Spirit Sea no longer expanded uncontrollably and crazily, but became the same as Chen Shu's; his cultivation speed was not necessarily faster than a normal genius, it was just that for the same cultivation, his Spirit Sea was larger and his comprehensive ability was stronger.

His cultivation speed was about the same as Chen Shu's.

However, due to the differences in their personalities and living habits, he was far more diligent than Chen Shu, and added to the fact that he was older than Chen Shu, the Spirit Sea that had expanded uncontrollably during his early Genius Disease period saved him a lot of time, so the final winner was him.

This time, however, it was completely different.

I wonder what he is thinking in his heart.

Chen Shu thought in his mind, but it did not affect his typing.

Qingcai Keke: It doesn't matter.

Qingcai Keke: It's not too late to set a bet now.

Qingcai Keke: How about the loser barks like a dog? Anyway, I see you are all used to it /expectant.

Qingcai Keke: By the way, Brother Nameless, just in case you don't know, let me tell you, we bet before on who would win in a fight between Zhang Suannai and Wu Eiwei, and the loser had to admit they were a dog, but they all lost the bet.

Qingcai Keke: 【Long Image】

Qingcai Keke: Look.

Nainai Zongshuo: /Qingcai Keke: I am a dog.

Qingcai Keke: This is the image she edited.

Nameless Person: You all play so happily!

Haoran: *Cough cough*

Haoran: Let's talk about serious business.

Haoran: Previously, the Nanzhou catastrophe arose, and under the influence of the eroding energy from the alien world, the High-Tier there had already been mostly killed, but now many more High-Tier have emerged; it is said that there are even Ninth Stage among them, and some Ninth Stage who were killed before have even revived. After Wei Shen and Yingjie Fo suppressed the Nanzhou catastrophe, they deliberately left them behind, preparing to use them to increase combat experience and hone combat coordination for us of the younger generation.

Haoran: I don't know if you all received the notification.

Beauty with Eight-Pack Abs: Received.

Just Call Me Luo Huaian: +1.

Nameless Person: I am only at the Seventh Stage.

Jiang Lai: Received.

Qingcai Keke: No.

Nainai Zongshuo: No.

Zhong Miao Zhimen: The military's news is still fast.

Qingdeng Gufu: Amitabha, this humble monk only knows about the revival of the Nanzhou High-Tier and has some guesses.

Huran Bilik: When is it?

Huran Bilik: Wait for me.

Huran Bilik: I'm already at the Eighth Stage.

Qingcai Keke: Same question, when?

Haoran: It hasn't been decided yet, probably around May, June, or July.

Haoran: Anyway, most people go after advancing to the Ninth Stage; going too early is dangerous, and going too late makes the training ineffective.

Zhong Miao Zhimen: I heard that the geniuses of Dongzhou, Xizhou, and the Northern Continent are all cultivating very diligently.

Qingcai Keke: @Nainai Zongshuo

Nainai Zongshuo: Isn't it because you all are making it so competitive?

Nainai Zongshuo:!??

Nainai Zongshuo: Why the hell are you @ing me? Did you learn from this dog group owner too?

Qingcai Keke: A mere Eighth Stage, show me some respect.

Nainai Zongshuo: Wait until I reach the Ninth Stage! I'll find you for a fight the first chance I get!

Zhong Miao Zhimen: If you don't fight, you're a dog.

Nainai Zongshuo: I'm joking.

Nainai Zongshuo: /Suddenly calm.

Nainai Zongshuo: Qingcai and I are close friends, I won't easily do such things that destroy the harmony.

Nainai Zongshuo: /Solemn.

Haoran: /Cracking melon seeds.

"Hehe..."

Chen Shu couldn't help but laugh, then calculated the time in his heart.

Because Shengzu traveled from his home planet Earth, it caused the two universes to begin to draw closer; originally, the time flow of this world was far faster than that of his home planet Earth, but now it has become almost the same, and the time calculation methods of Shengzu and the New Saint have both proven this point.

Chen Shu did not intend to stay there for long.

It was just a trip, after all.

But it wouldn't be too short either.

At the same time, according to the New Saint, the process of traveling through the universe itself also requires time. It's not that the process takes a long time—the person traveling through the universe feels the process is very short—but a variable amount of time will pass in the outside world; as for exactly how long, that involves a series of headache-inducing calculation formulas.

Chen Shu might not be able to return within a few months.

Qingcai Keke: I might be going on a long trip, so you all go first, and I'll come find you when I get back.

Qingcai Keke: Maybe by then your cultivation will have caught up to mine.

Nainai Zongshuo: Where are you going? How many people?

Nainai Zongshuo: Are you taking Chen Banxia?

Qingcai Keke: Qingqing and I.

Grandma always says: "What do you mean by 'when your cultivation has caught up to mine'? It makes it sound like I'm inferior to you! Let me tell you, I'm just letting you win!"

Gate of All Wonders: Your face changes so fast.

Grandma always says:?

Grandma always says: "If I can't handle him, can't I handle you?"

Gate of All Wonders: /shivering in fear

Chen Shu smiled and turned off his Mobile Phone.

First, he entered the Jinguan Mijing to head toward the Divine Dragon Hall.

A dragon, looking like splashed ink, emerged from the altar, looking down from above as it gazed at Chen Shu:

"You are at the Ninth Stage?"

"Yes, I am."

"Then you should be able to control Space-Time Energy."

"I owe it all to the guidance of Lord Divine Dragon." Chen Shu had already figured out this Divine Dragon's personality; it was funny yet arrogant, so he played along, "Please, Lord Divine Dragon, separate another wisp of Space-Time Energy for me to try again."

"As you wish..."

The Wish-Granting Divine Dragon opened its mouth and exhaled.

Like diluted ink flowing on high-quality rice paper, a mass of gas, like mist and ink, was exhaled. Once it left the dragon's body, it immediately transformed from that form into invisible and intangible Space-Time Energy, and with the help of the Wish-Granting Divine Dragon, it established a connection with him.

It was as if this wisp of energy had always belonged to him.

"Take it and play."

"Many thanks, Lord Divine Dragon."

Chen Shu tried to control this wisp of Space-Time Energy; sure enough, the only thing he had been missing before was reaching the Ninth Stage.

He succeeded with ease, controlling it as freely as Spirit Power.

"Not bad, not bad..."

The Wish-Granting Divine Dragon nodded repeatedly, its voice majestic and vast.

"Lord Divine Dragon, there is one more thing..."

"Speak your mind."

"I intend to return to the place where Shengzu and I came from." Chen Shu looked up and said to it, "I would like to ask Lord Divine Dragon to accompany me, just in case..."

His voice lacked some confidence.

It was true that the Wish-Granting Divine Dragon was composed of Space-Time Energy, but it already possessed consciousness, knew how to think, and had its own personality. If the Space-Time Energy that made up the Wish-Granting Divine Dragon had to be used for the traversal, he did not know what that would mean for it.

Cutting its flesh? Draining its blood? Sacrificing itself?

But he only saw the Wish-Granting Divine Dragon looking down at him, its voice still as majestic as before: "You seem somewhat embarrassed... Human, there is no need for that. This was the wish you made to me, and it is the meaning of my existence."

The Wish-Granting Divine Dragon paused before continuing:

"This deity shall fulfill this wish for you."

"Many thanks, Lord Divine Dragon."

Chen Shu bid it farewell and left the Jinguan Mijing.

It was late spring, and the weather was just right.

Chen Shu stretched his body, feeling the power of the Ninth Stage. High-quality Spirit Power sat still in his Spirit Sea, which was like an ocean, and flowed through his body, suddenly giving him the feeling that he could destroy this world.

"Ah..."

Chen Shu stretched.

Next, only one last thing remained—

To go and borrow the Seven-Star Stone Tablet. Hidden inside was the route to Earth that Shengzu had exhausted his heart's blood to find for future generations. By using this route, combined with the auxiliary Artifact left by Shengzu or a precise mastery of Space-Time Items, one could return directly to the homeland of Earth without having to take a slow detour.

As a Ninth Stage Saint Son of the Spirit Sect and a successor of the Spirit Saint, a main candidate for the future war over the origin, Chen Shu already possessed the full qualifications to borrow the Stone Tablet.
