Chapter 338 - 338: Deep Sleep

The Saintess was influenced by her cultivation method, making her exceptionally cold and proud.

Qin Changqing was also a difficult person to deal with.

Just don’t let the conversation fall apart.

Moreover, he was especially worried about the little girl beside the Saintess.

But he didn’t dare to say anything; he was a Nascent Soul, and the girl belonged to the Saintess – a Deifying cultivator. In their presence, he didn’t even dare to breathe heavily.

He hurriedly flew down to meet them.

In a short time, he brought the Saintess and girl in green to the reception hall where Qin Changqing was.

In the reception hall, Qin Changqing was drinking tea.

Seeing them enter, Qin Changqing stood up and made a gesture of invitation.

“Saintess, please.”

Monk Xu worried again, because Qin Changqing didn’t go out to greet them, and the girl in green seemed a little dissatisfied.

Purple Snow Holy Girl said nothing, but walked to a chair and sat down.

Seeing the Purple Snow Holy Girl sit down, Monk Xu put on a smile, intending to break the ice.

However, the Purple Snow Holy Girl spoke first.

Her gaze fell on Qin Changqing, and her voice was as cold as ever.

“Qin Changqing, do you know how long a Nascent Soul cultivator can live?”

Purple Snow Holy Girl’s opening remark was a question.

She didn’t bother with pleasantries.

She didn’t even exchange greetings.

Maybe it was because she had been cultivating for too long, and being the Holy Land Saintess, she didn’t care about those formalities.

Qin Changqing looked at her: “I don’t know.”

He genuinely didn’t know.

Purple Snow Holy Girl replied, “Ten thousand years.”

Ten thousand years?

Deifying cultivators with longer lifespans can live close to ten thousand years.

Nascent Soul cultivators can’t possibly live for only ten thousand years. If they could only live for ten thousand years, Master Butterfly Cloud would be long dead.

“For Nascent Soul cultivators, ten thousand years is a bottleneck. If their lifespan exceeds ten thousand years and they’re still in the Nascent Soul stage, they’ll face a Small Heavenly Tribulation every thousand years, and a Big Heavenly Tribulation every three thousand years.”

Purple Snow Holy Girl explained.

Heavenly Tribulation!

The term she used was Heavenly Tribulation, not Tribulation Thunder.

Qin Changqing remained silent.

As expected, without waiting for Qin Changqing’s response, Purple Snow Holy Girl continued.

“The Small Heavenly Tribulation is not a problem, but the Big Heavenly Tribulation becomes much more potent each time, often doubling or more in power.”

Purple Snow Holy Girl explained further.

Her words made Qin Changqing understand.

That was why Nascent Soul cultivators theoretically had endless lifespans, but there were hardly any who had lived for tens of thousands of years.

If they truly had endless lifespans, just considering the Vast Wave Realm,

The Vast Wave Realm had existed for an unimaginably long time; even if some cultivators were stuck in the Nascent Soul Stage for their entire life, they should have encountered countless Nascent Soul cultivators by now if they had endless lifespans.

After living for ten thousand years, if a Nascent Soul cultivator couldn’t make a breakthrough, they would face the Big Heavenly Tribulation once every three thousand years. They might be able to survive the first few times, but it would become increasingly difficult as time went on.

By the time they faced the Fifth Great Heavenly Tribulation, its power would be more than twelve times that of the first time.

At that point, the age of the Nascent Soul cultivator would be twenty-five thousand years old.

“Even in the Holy Land, the limit for a Nascent Soul Peak cultivator is five times. No one can withstand the Sixth Great Heavenly Tribulation. If one is not at Nascent Soul Peak, they can endure even fewer times.”

“Qin Changqing, have you ever wondered what would happen to a cultivator who was unable to break through the Nascent Soul Stage?”

At this point, Purple Snow Holy Girl engaged in a rare interactive moment; she looked to Qin Changqing and asked.

Her entire temperament was indeed cold, but the expression on her face didn’t seem deliberately arrogant.

That arrogance seemed more like something natural for a disciple of the Holy Land and a genius.

Qin Changqing pondered for a moment and asked, “Besides death, is there any special way to avoid the Heavenly Tribulation, like going into a deep sleep?”

Purple Snow Holy Girl replied, “Yes, no Nascent Soul wants to wait for death. Those who cannot break through are always looking for ways to seal their body’s vitality, isolating it from Heaven’s secrets, and entering a false death state to sleep, hoping to find a glimmer of hope in the future.”

“However, it’s not as simple as isolating from Heaven’s secrets for these Nascent Souls. The Heavenly Tribulation is different from the Tribulation Thunder. Even if they hide inside a Great Array, they cannot be isolated.”

At this point, she paused for a moment.

It seemed she was intentionally giving Qin Changqing time to digest her words.

Next to her, the girl in green clothes was exceptionally quiet at this moment. She stood there, curiously looking at Qin Changqing.

Monk Xu let out a big sigh of relief.

“In this world, besides the Holy Land, even a First-grade Immortal Sect would have difficulty allowing Nascent Soul cultivators to isolate all of Heaven’s secrets and enter a false death to sleep. That requires a very special substance that only the Holy Land can obtain.”

After a pause, the Purple Snow Holy Girl continued speaking.

Her words had indeed cleared up some of Qin Changqing’s previous doubts about the Cultivation World.

However,

What did the Purple Snow Holy Girl’s words have to do with Qin Changqing?

She couldn’t possibly think that Qin Changqing would not be able to break through the Nascent Soul Stage in ten thousand years, could she?

Qin Changqing didn’t think that was her intention.

He wasn’t in a hurry and didn’t ask any questions.

The initiative was in his hands.

Purple Snow Holy Girl didn’t care that Qin Changqing didn’t respond.

“Not only Nascent Souls, but even those who have integrated their bodies can face Heavenly Tribulations if they live too long. As cultivators defy the heavens, I’m afraid only by becoming immortals can one truly escape the shackles of lifespan.”

Purple Snow Holy Girl continued.

Qin Changqing was beginning to see what she was trying to convey.

“Compared with Nascent Souls, those who have integrated their bodies have one more choice. If they can’t reach Perfect Fusion and the power of the Great Heavenly Tribulation becomes too overwhelming for them, they can choose to use the Heavenly Heart to draw upon Heaven and Earth, summoning the Five

Declines of Heaven-Man and passing the tribulation early,”

At this point, Purple Snow Holy Girl’s beautiful eyes shifted direction.

“However, that’s tantamount to seeking death,”

She said.

Attempting to pass the tribulation early is equivalent to seeking death.

It seems that after reaching Perfect Fusion, one can summon the Five Declines of Heaven-Man to pass the tribulation.

The Five Declines of Heaven-Man are the real tribulations, which make all the powerful cultivators turn pale at the mention of them.

If the Five Declines of Heaven-Man are summoned before reaching Perfect Fusion, the consequences may be even more severe than facing the Great Heavenly Tribulation.

“So, those who have integrated their bodies also need to isolate all Heaven’s secrets and enter a false death to sleep during this time.”

“The sleeping Nascent Souls and integrated body cultivators are one of the foundations of our Holy Land,” Purple Snow Holy Girl finally expressed her intentions in one breath.

The sleeping Nascent Souls and integrated body cultivators are one of the foundations of the Holy Land!

She wasn’t wrong in saying that.

Although those Nascent Souls and integrated body cultivators have spent many years without breaking through, it doesn’t mean they are incompetent.

Take Master Butterfly Cloud for example. If her bottleneck continues to hold her back from breaking through and she reaches ten thousand years of age,

Three thousand years for the first Great Heavenly Tribulation, six thousand years for the second>,

If she cannot break through after experiencing the Fifth Great Heavenly Tribulation at 25,000 years, she would have no choice but to sleep.

But could you say she’s incompetent?

Her combat power is formidable, it’s just that she’s very unlucky.

Just think, how many sleeping Nascent Souls and integrated body cultivators have accumulated in the Holy Land for countless years?

These Nascent Soul and integrated body cultivators are not incapable of activities..
