Chapter 201 - 230: Experience Points Break 100 Million! The Cultivation Technique Transforms Again
After several days of leisure, Su Bai prepared to return to the Great Xia Dynasty.
"Safe travels, esteemed guest!"
Before he left, the stooped old boatman sat alone at the prow, took a puff from his long-stemmed pipe, and grinned at Su Bai.
"Sir, may we meet again if fate allows."
Su Bai smiled, waved, and turned to leave with great strides.
Watching Su Bai’s gradually receding figure, the old boatman slowly withdrew his gaze.
He gripped his bamboo pole and turned the boat around on the river’s surface, the prow sending out layer after layer of ripples.
The small boat headed in the opposite direction from Su Bai, slowly disappearing into the distance.
It was swallowed by the landscape and the sunlight.
...
Inside a hidden Emperor’s Hall in the Great Xia Imperial City.
Emperor Xia was seated in the center of the hall, receiving a dozen or so distinguished guests. Their auras were powerful, but their expressions were rather complicated.
These were high-ranking members of Righteous Sects from within and outside the Great Xia territory, individuals of high status, great power, and impressive Martial Arts Cultivation.
At that moment, a Vice Sect Master from a Righteous Sect spoke up, his face etched with sorrow. "I implore you, Emperor Xia, to seek justice for my Celestial Net Sword Sect!"
Previously, after Su Bai broke through to the Dao Palace Realm, he not only killed the Bai Gu Great Saint but also imprisoned numerous Demon Path Powerhouses. Furthermore, a large group of disciples from the Righteous Sects had been locked up along with them.
Several of them were top-tier geniuses who were highly regarded within their sects.
Naturally, they wanted to take these people back and were unwilling to let the Great Xia Dynasty hold them indefinitely.
"Yes! Emperor Xia! We implore you to show mercy beyond the law and release those disciples!"
The other Elders from various Righteous Sects also chimed in one after another.
As they spoke, they rose to their feet, their expressions growing agitated.
Upon hearing these words, Emperor Xia’s eyelid twitched.
Before the members of the Righteous Sects could get any closer, his figure vanished from the Emperor’s Hall.
"It is useless to ask me."
"If you truly wish to pursue this, then please have the ancestors from your respective sects come out of seclusion. They can go to the depths of the prison and discuss the matter face-to-face with Senior Boxing Saint."
After these words were spoken, he was gone without a trace.
Inside the Emperor’s Hall, only the group of experts from the Righteous Sects remained, standing in place and staring at each other in dismay.
They looked up.
They looked again at the Great Xia Prison, which was so close, knowing that the "culprit" who had imprisoned their disciples was right inside.
Yet they lacked the courage, and could only depart with looks of unwilling resignation.
Perhaps it was truly as Emperor Xia had said.
Only by having their respective sects’ ancestors come out of seclusion would they have a chance of getting those disciples released early.
Everyone wore expressions of worry, their minds filled with different thoughts.
And during this time...
The news that the Great Xia Boxing Saint had broken through to the Dao Palace Realm and condensed an unprecedented ten-thousand-zhang Dharma Body had already spread throughout the entire Great Xia Territory.
Both the Righteous and Demon Daos were shaken!
Therefore, even though they had some confidence in their own strength, they didn’t dare go to the prison themselves!
What if... what if the man lost his temper and just threw them in prison, too?
Wouldn’t that be a total disaster?
"Sigh! Let’s go back!"
Seeing no hope, the group had no choice but to obediently leave the Imperial City.
...
「Three days later.」
Inside the Great Xia Prison.
"Tsk tsk! Who would’ve thought there was such a world-shaking Great Power sitting right under our prison!"
As they passed the large hole in the middle of B-Class Prison—the one smashed open by the falling Demon Path powerhouse—
Zhang Wei couldn’t help but lean down curiously, peek into the hole for a moment, and then quickly pull back.
He turned to Su Bai beside him, his face a mask of exhilaration and excitement.
"Yeah, who would’ve thought," Su Bai replied dismissively.
He was currently checking the amount of Experience Points accumulated in the Purification Tripod.
"Do you know what they’re calling this senior outside now?"
"Lord of Heavenly Punishment!"
"He who enacts punishment on behalf of Heaven! Master of Sin Prison!"
"My goodness!"
"Two Sect Masters, three Vice Sect Masters, and numerous Dao Palace Realm experts from the Five Demonic Sects are all imprisoned beneath our feet."
"With every step I take now, I feel like I’m walking on the heads of those Demon Sect ancestors!"
As he said this, Zhang Wei gestured wildly with excitement.
He was like a mischievous monkey showing off its power.
But in the next moment, Su Bai teased, "Have you considered the possibility..."
"...that you might be stepping on the head of the Lord of Heavenly Punishment himself?"
Hearing this, Zhang Wei’s expression changed dramatically, and he immediately reached out to cover Su Bai’s mouth.
His soul nearly fled his body!
"Brother Su Bai! Keep your voice down!"
"Are you trying to get yourself killed?"
"That being’s Divine Techniques are immense! Don’t let him hear you!"
With that, Zhang Wei quickly turned to face the hole, pressed his palms together, and began to mumble, "Lord of Heavenly Punishment, sir!"
"The kid doesn’t know any better, he’s just joking."
"Your magnanimity is extraordinary, you mustn’t hold it against him."
After finishing, he couldn’t help but beckon Su Bai over.
"Hurry up and apologize to his esteemed self, the Lord of Heavenly Punishment!"
Su Bai stood frozen on the spot, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
’Apologize to myself? What kind of situation is this?!’
...
Ever since Su Bai had broken through to the Dao Palace Realm and cleaned up all the ghouls and goblins in Xia Imperial City from top to bottom...
...the Xia Imperial City had become much more peaceful.
During this time, the common people lived and worked in peace, and everyone wore a smile.
Public security in Xia Imperial City had improved to the point where people could leave their doors unlocked at night.
As the saying goes, divinity is three feet above your head.
To the criminals in Xia Imperial City, he was that very unfathomable, living god.
"This truly is an act of boundless merit."
The most direct proof was that ever since then, Su Bai’s Merit Points had been constantly increasing.
Although the rate of increase wasn’t huge and the efficiency was low,
he had still gained over ten thousand points in just a few days.
At this rate, it wouldn’t be long before he accumulated one million Merit Points.
’But this matter probably isn’t over just yet...’
If nothing else, he still hadn’t seen that so-called Sacred Artifact, the Mingfeng Saber.
Walking down the corridor, Su Bai thought for a moment, then made small talk with Zhang Wei, found an excuse, and left the prison.
Then, he concealed his figure and entered the depths of the cave.
Deep within the mysterious cave, it was just as it always was: hundreds of people hung from rows of black chains.
Oh, that’s not quite right.
There weren’t hundreds anymore.
Over the past few days, quite a few had been drained dry by the tall tower.
The ones left were all powerhouses at the Extraordinary Realm or above.
However, judging by the situation, it seemed even those above the Extraordinary Realm wouldn’t last much longer.
The first criminal in the depths of the cave, the Seventh Sequence assassin from the Evil Spirit Pavilion...
...had originally been at the Ninth Level of the Spirit Transformation Realm, but now he had been sucked dry by the tower, leaving only a husk of skin.
He was hanging on by his last breath; he would probably kick the bucket in a few more days.
Fortunately, Su Bai had captured a lot of people last time. Between the Divine Platform and Daoist Palace experts, there were dozens, and they provided him with a massive amount of Experience Points every hour.
In the gloomy, profound depths of the cave, numerous criminals were bound by狰狞 black chains, floating in the void like insects tied up by black threads.
Only one person was not bound by chains.
Su Bai knew a little about this person. He was the Vice Sect Master of the Celestial Net Sword Sect, Wang Zhengxin.
When Su Bai had slapped the Demon Sect Daoist Palace experts into the prison, this unlucky fellow had been below and was caught in the shockwave, crashing into the cave with them.
As it turned out, when Su Bai later checked with the Purification Tripod, the man’s Sin Value was only One-Star.
For someone with his cultivation at the Third Layer of the Dao Palace Realm, this meant he was exceptionally innocent.
After seeing this information, Su Bai had just casually tossed him here and paid him no mind.
He could leave whenever he wanted.
After a casual glance at the hanging crowd, Su Bai sat cross-legged in the void and checked his own information.
He discovered that after this period of accumulation, his Experience Points had now exceeded one hundred million!
Next, he looked at the Experience Points for his Immortal Golden Body.
[Cultivation Technique: Third Immortal Golden Body Transformation! (Ninth Grade!) Realm: Returning to the Essence: (4,130,000)]
Coming back to his senses, Su Bai decided to convert some Tier Two Experience Points and pour them all into the [Third Immortal Golden Body Transformation] to trigger another metamorphosis!
The exchange rate between Tier Two Experience Points and regular Experience Points was 1:100!
’I’ll try converting a million first!’
With his mind made up,
Su Bai, through the Purification Tripod, spent one hundred million Experience Points to successfully convert them into one million Tier Two Experience Points!
And when this one million Tier Two Experience Points were dumped in,
the experience for the [Third Immortal Golden Body Transformation] increased rapidly!
4,200,000... 4,500,000... 4,800,000!
In just two or three breaths, the experience for the [Third Immortal Golden Body Transformation] broke the five-million mark!
BOOM—
The next instant, the transformation began.
Heaven and Earth trembled!
