Chapter 63 Visualizing Luo De

At that time, Qin Chao returned to his home, his humble abode now seemingly void of any vitality.

In the living room, only a sofa was left; the television had been moved into the bedroom, ruthlessly monopolized by Su Ji.

But now, only Qin Chao remained in the house. Indeed, there was no one to compete with him for the television anymore, but why did he feel so empty?

He remembered having the same sensation when his girlfriend had moved out years ago.

Qin Chao was uneasy, he took a cola from the refrigerator, plopped down on the bed in the bedroom, and turned on the television.

The local news was playing on the TV. A psychotic murderer was on the loose in Sunan City; citizens were advised to be careful when venturing out at night. A local resident had gone missing; a reward was offered for any useful information. A set of affordable housing had just been completed in the south of the city; the citizens expressed immense gratitude for the government's assistance.

As Qin Chao watched, he grew increasingly disinterested. The female news anchor, usually charming, was now, for some reason, stirring an urge within him to punch her.

He turned off the TV, finished his cola, and laid on the bed.

There was a faint scent lingering on the bed, presumably left by Su Ji.

Just as Qin Chao was sinking into gloom, the soft bed dipped slightly. A familiar fragrance wafted into his nostrils.

"Rosy?" Qin Chao opened his eyes, and sure enough, there was the demoness clad in leather from head to toe, her figure tantalizing. Yet, Qin Chao found himself completely uninterested.

"Oh, innocent man, why aren't you looking at me?" Rosy teased Qin Chao. She extended her smooth, delicate hand, touched his chin, and turned his face towards her.

"I'm sorry, I'm not in the mood to talk tonight," he replied.

"Oh, let me guess why you're upset." Rosy giggled, floated up, and plopped onto the television, gently tapping her lips with her finger.

"Unemployment?" she guessed. "No, you're doing fine as a security guard, how could you be unemployed? Let me think again... Ah, it's not a career issue. Did you get your period? But men don't have that. Ah, it must be a woman then."

With a snap of her fingers, Rosy exclaimed, "Bingo, seems like I got it right. There's one less person in this house, and it's someone important to you."

"Stop talking nonsense," Qin Chao said, his forehead beading with sweat as he buried his face in the pillow. "She was just living here temporarily. We don't have anything to do with each other."

"But this person, who you claim has nothing to do with you, is now being besieged by the demonic cult and is on the verge of death."

"What?!" Qin Chao jumped off the bed, grabbing Rosy's hand in panic. "Where is she, how is she right now? Take me to her!"

Rosy chuckled mischievously, her eyes filled with amusement, but there was a trace of loneliness.

"I was just joking. You said she means nothing to you, so why do you care so much about her safety?"

"Because, because..." Knowing that Rosy was merely joking, Qin Chao heaved a sigh of relief and slumped back onto the bed, dropping his gaze once more. "After all, she is still my colleague. It's only right to be concerned."

"Is your childish lie meant to fool kindergarteners?" Rosy sneered, jumping down from the television and walking up to Qin Chao. "If you desire her, then strive for it. Come, make a wish to me. Just a small wish, and you can change everything. You can be with Su Ji forever."

"No, I won't make such a wish with you!" Qin Chao hesitated for a moment, but he quickly shook his head. "I will rely on my own abilities to make everyone take notice of me. Once I gain power, who would dare to belittle me?"

Saying this, Qin Chao suddenly crossed his legs and sat on the bed, falling silent.

Rosy blinked her beautiful big eyes. She knew that this man was mobilizing his internal energy, entering his little world.

"What a troublesome client," Rosy muttered, shaking her head and sighing. She glanced at Qin Chao, snapped her fingers, and a black barrier engulfed him.

"All I can do for you is this. Fight on, and I hope you keep your word."

With that, Rosy's figure turned into a cloud of black smoke and slowly dissipated within the room.

As for Qin Chao, he had already sunk into his little world. The world was growing richer, no longer a grayscale landscape, but filled with mountains, rivers, birds, beasts, insects, and fish.

Yet, all these lacked spiritual energy. Qin Chao was steadily advancing toward Spiritual Consolidation. His current aim was to visualize the Great Demon God, Luo De, to lay a strong foundation for his future cultivation.

"Luo De, you bastard, what the hell do you look like!"

Qin Chao roared at the dark clouds overhead.

The sky seemed to sense his fury. The dark clouds immediately started to roll, filled with black lightning.

"Come on, strike me! If you can't kill me, I want to see what the hell you look like! Luo De, are you a woman, afraid of being seen?"

With a loud roar from Qin Chao, a bolt of black lightning crashed down from the sky.

"Ah!" His body was wracked with intense pain. The lightning strike had his pores wide open and hair standing on end, like Thor himself. But he persevered, withstanding the bolt.

"Come on, again!" Qin Chao roared again, and without hesitation, the heavens gifted him another hefty black lightning bolt.

The pain this time was doubled. Unable to help himself, Qin Chao let out a wail. Then another bolt came, the third, the fourth. The pain intensified, and he felt like he wanted to die.

Under the power of the lightning, he finally began to have second thoughts.

What am I doing? Why do I have to see Luo De? With my natural demonic physique, even if I can't visualize the Great Demon God, my future path will still be incredibly bright.

What was I holding on to...?

Qin Chao seemed lost, but an image of a woman quickly surfaced in his mind.

"Husband!" The woman with blue eyes was full of laughter, playfully pulling on his arm, the warmth seeping into his heart.

But soon, another girl who looked very similar to her approached, pushing him away.

"Qin Chao, you are not good enough for my sister. Stay away from her in the future."

"You are just a small security guard." Li Chao stood in front of him, his words icy.

"What do I see in you?" Another beautiful woman appeared, her face streaked with tears, her eyes resolute. "If I marry you, what will we do for the rest of our lives, starve? Qin Chao, stop joking, love isn't child's play! You are a failure, and I don't want to marry a failure!"

"I'll show you all..." Qin Chao suddenly stood up from within the black lightning, shouting, "I, Qin Chao, am not a failure! Ah!"

His roar, filled with unstoppable power, not only scattered the incessant black lightning but also shattered the dark clouds in the sky.

Qin Chao's body shot up, rushing into the clouds.

Then, from behind the clouds, a giant black figure emerged.

This figure was covered in black scales, eyes flashing with green light. Floating there, he seemed like a majestic deity. Dark clouds and lightning swirled around him, pushed aside by his imposing presence.

"Roar!" The figure let out a roar, as if mocking Qin Chao.

"Die, Luo De!" Qin Chao roared back. His body started to transform, and he sprang forward, fist clenched, aiming a punch at the demon in the sky.

"Die, die!" His punch landed squarely on the demon's chest. It felt like hitting an iron slab, causing his body to tremble.

Soon, the dark figure turned into a massive cloud of black smoke and whistled into his body.

Before Qin Chao could comprehend what had just happened, he was expelled from his small world.

"Bang!" Qin Chao was suddenly thrown back, even breaking through the black barrier left by Rosy and hitting the wall behind him.

From the other side of the wall came Wang Yan's cursing.

"What the hell are you doing in the middle of the night? Trying to get yourself killed?"

Qin Chao didn't pay any attention to Wang Yan's cursing; he was too absorbed in staring at his own hands in surprise.

He had visualized Luo De! He had truly visualized the Great Demon God!

In his path of cultivation, he had gained a powerful ally, and his future was boundless!

"Su Ji, wait for me. One day, I'll bring you back! Hahaha!" Unable to contain his laughter, Qin Chao's laughter echoed far into the night sky.

Surprisingly, no one from next door scolded him. Perhaps the neighbors all thought Qin Chao had gone mad. Who would dare to provoke a madman?

Unable to contain his joy, he took out the Nine Nether Magic Art from his ring. Forgoing sleep, he began to cultivate according to the methods for the Spiritual Consolidation phase as detailed in the manual.

He was now a third-level demon of the Demon Sect, no longer a rookie just stepping into the world of cultivation. When the time was ripe, after he reached Foundation Building, he could begin training in Divine Power.

By then, he could practice magic. While striving to become a demon god himself, he could also assist Su Ji, possibly even helping her breakthrough to the Divine Power stage.

Imagine them as a carefree couple of immortals, how delightful that would be!

At this thought, Qin Chao was filled with emotions, flipping rapidly through the Nine Nether Magic Art.

"Being this excited isn't the best condition for cultivation, you know." Rosy suddenly appeared, sitting on the TV again, speaking to Qin Chao, "But still, congratulations on reaching the Spiritual Consolidation Stage."

"Thank you," Qin Chao replied with a smile, "You've been helping me all this time, and I never really thanked you. Rosy, you are very important to me. I'm very grateful to you."

"Why the sudden sentiments..." Rosy's face unexpectedly flushed. She coughed twice, then added, "However, this doesn't prove anything. Foundation Building is the crucial watershed stage between mortals and cultivators. Whether you can reach Foundation Building or not, that is the most important step."

"I believe in myself. You've also said that I would become a Great Demon God."

"That's right, you will be a Great Demon God," Rosy replied with a grin, "But don't forget the present matters. Su Ji is still in danger. That Zhou De from the Yama Sect has been keeping a close eye on your beauty."

"Rosy, then tell me, how much do you know about this Yama Sect?"
