I Can Destroy Planets with My Psychokinesis-Chapter 479. Life Lamp
Chapter 479: 479. Life Lamp
Liu Shu couldn’t imagine how audacious the seemingly obedient female disciple before him truly was.
After a moment of regret, he turned to the main topic:
"At merely 29, you ignited your first Yang Flame acupoint, a talent that is truly rare. It’s a pity that with the Catastrophe approaching, everything will turn to ash."
Only by dropping a bombshell like this could he truly captivate the attention.
Su Qing cooperated by asking, "May I ask, Heavenly Monarch, what kind of Catastrophe is it? Is it related to the Earth Core?"
"Indeed."
Liu Shu spoke slowly:
"A few old friends and I wished to use the Earth Core to ascend to the realm of the Yang God, but I’ve played a losing hand and fear defeat is certain.
When the time comes, not only the Earth Core, but everything on the planet will be devoured, nourishing the newly ascended Yang Gods.
Furthermore, a Yang God Immortal Venerable can wield the power of a Black Hole, leaving no one with the chance to escape. This will undoubtedly be a Catastrophe!"
Such words turned Su Qing’s face pale;
Lu Li lacked this knowledge and guidance and wished that the speaker would elaborate further.
But soon, Liu Shu redirected the conversation towards him:
"There’s no dead end under the heavens, and now there’s a chance—I’m going out to meet this new friend. If it works out, we might still have a frontline chance."
Su Qing felt a chill in her heart, yet her face was resolute:
"This disciple is willing to follow the Heavenly Monarch to death, to go through fire and water without hesitation!"
"Very good."
Liu Shu was very pleased with this attitude, and his demeanor became even more genial:
"You’ve grown up in the Sect since childhood, blessed with talent and diligent wit; I am very pleased with you. Today, I formally accept you as my disciple, and at the same time, I bestow upon you the Magic Treasure ’East Mountain Eight-sided Mace’ for your use."
A gleaming golden "Eight-sided Mace" slowly descended; Lu Li recognized at a glance it was the same Third Grade Magic Treasure previously used by Liu Xuan.
As Su Qing anticipated, with the essence of the Sect all but destroyed, she was bound to be reused.
But as the saying goes, there’s no such thing as a free lunch. Su Qing took the "Eight-sided Mace" into her hands, and her heart immediately sank.
Liu Shu continued to bestow advantages:
"The position of Taishan Sect Leader will also be yours to inherit; I will assist you with all my might to break through the Martial Saint realm, so you are well-protected when the Catastrophe arrives."
The moment those words were spoken, Lu Li also felt something was amiss.
Su Qing tightly clutched her "Jade Button," her face flushing red.
On the spur of the moment, she knelt on the ground, half-feigning and half-genuine excitement:
"Thank you, Master, for your generous gifts; this disciple will give my all and not let you down!"
"Good disciple, I have another benefit for you... I will make a Life Lamp for you."
Liu Shu gently smiled as he took out an "Octagonal Palace Lantern" from the halo behind his head.
This artwork, popular during the Tang Dynasty, with dragon and phoenix motifs on its eight screens, is incredibly lavish and luxurious.
But in reality, it was the most sinister of shackles!
There’s a limit to physical pain, but Divine Souls have none!
Once the Divine Soul is placed within the lamp, through the effect of Quantum Entanglement, Liu Shu could torture Su Qing with a single thought, making her wish she were dead.
So many benefits weren’t given freely. Lip service loyalty was useless; the Divine Soul had to be surrendered.
In this situation, Su Qing had no choice but to agree promptly, lest she wanted to die.
But her mind stirred, and deliberately provoking Liu Shu, she feigned reluctance:
"This disciple has yet to achieve Soul Emergence, I have no Divine Soul to offer."
"No matter, your Master will extract some for you."
Puppets are driven by mortal souls; a Heavenly Monarch would naturally possess the ability for Soul Extraction.
Seeing Su Qing hesitate at such a moment, Liu Shu’s face grew a bit colder, and the imposing aura of the Heavenly Monarch began to unfold.
The Sun behind his head grew exceptionally bright, bursting with flares of light.
This unconscious gesture gave Lu Li a deeper understanding of his Cultivation, which was precisely Su Qing’s intention.
She took this as a sign to yield, and quickly said, "This disciple will let down her guard, Master may proceed as you wish."
With that, she dispersed the "Immortal Will" from her head.
Liu Shu was oblivious, as anyone would naturally hesitate in such a situation, and Su Qing’s reaction seemed normal enough.
"As your mentor, I will only take a sliver; it won’t affect you in the slightest," Lu Li said.
With his pinky, Liu Shu hooked a speck of light the size of a grain of rice from Su Qing’s forehead and placed it into the "Octagonal Palace Lantern."
The lantern immediately lit up, casting a serene and mesmerizing blue glow.
Holding the lantern in hand, Liu Shu patted Su Qing on the shoulder and said with a hearty laugh,
"Good disciple, from now on, we are family. I shall impart all my knowledge to you."
The contact with this body made Lu Li feel something again—the person before him was a Divine Soul without a physical body!
He immediately realized that this was a Heavenly Monarch who had pursued the "Soul and Body Integration" path.
It seemed that because of this, his Divine Soul was aging at an unusually rapid pace, emitting an aura of frailty and decay, as if close to death.
At that moment, Liu Shu put away the Life Lamp and said,
"I still have some odds and ends to take care of. You should head up first and try to ignite three to five more Fusion Acupoints."
"Disciple will follow Master’s orders carefully!"
Su Qing bowed deeply and was then enveloped in a blue light, returning to the surface in the next second.
This time, prepared and with both observing, it was evident that the passage had been arranged through the Spirit Veins, allowing rapid transit.
He had learned another technique, and the gains from the trip were substantial, only that the Life Lamp left Lu Li somewhat displeased.
Both kept "Telepathy" active, and when Su Qing sensed this emotion, she casually said:
[If I had dared to say a word of refusal just now, that old dog would have killed me on the spot. The outcome we have now is the best possible. The most important thing is that you are able to learn. If necessary, we can take down that old dog in the future]
Lu Li replied, [I must smash that Life Lamp.]
[Alright, it’s settled then. I’m signing off.]
Stepping out of the Spirit Lake, Su Qing saw a large group of people waiting ahead and cut off the communication.
Those who came were all elders of the Taishan Sect, holders of the Sect’s operations.
Liu Jing and Liu Sen stood at the front with complex expressions but did not hesitate to bow and greet first,
"We greet the Sect Leader."
"We greet the Sect Leader!"
Everyone bowed in unison, and Su Qing stood up to accept the greeting, transforming from an outsider to the Immortal Sect Leader in an instant.
Of course, it was just a flattering title.
The real power was controlled by the elders, and the Heavenly Monarchs had the final say— who would acknowledge Su Qing?
However, it didn’t matter. Su Qing was confident that everything before her eyes would eventually belong to her.

Meanwhile, Lu Li was already experimenting with the "Artificial Sun."
The Sun, a giant fireball of nuclear fusion.
To achieve fusion, one simply had to start with pressure and temperature, getting atoms to become active and spark a fusion reaction.
With knowledge from Blue Star and having seen Su Qing demonstrate the "Fusion Acupoint," Lu Li wasn’t unfamiliar with the concept.
He recalled Liu Shu’s methods and immediately started experimenting in the Spirit Realm.
Vast Divine Thought surged forth, activating dark matter to condense into a golden sphere 10 meters in diameter.
He had previously experimented on the Hengshan Sect Leader and concluded that his Spirit Power was at least 200,000 tons.
Such a terrifying force applied to a mere 10-meter sphere resulted in pressure reaching hundreds of millions of atmospheres.
The vibration of his Spirit heated the particles fiercely, and under the high temperature and pressure, the atoms collided vigorously and fused together, naturally triggering nuclear fusion.
But Lu Li frowned... as the sphere turned into a tactical hydrogen bomb and exploded instantly.
The blast yield was about 10,000 tons, akin to a firework in the vast expanse of the Spirit Realm.
"Generating fusion isn’t difficult, stabilizing it like the Sun, on the other hand, is."
"One can’t be expected to maintain the fusion reaction while also fighting."
Suddenly, Lu Li felt that he knew too little about an "Artificial Sun" or controlled fusion, a hot topic on Blue Star with many nations researching this inexhaustible clean energy source.
Looking at his dwindling supply of Spirit Mechanisms, Lu Li considered returning to Blue Star to acquire more knowledge.
And perhaps, he’d eradicate the Star Alliance completely to create a new world.
"With my current abilities, it wouldn’t take long at all."
