Chapter 562: 562: Forbidden Area of the Sea_1

Upon Crouching Dragon Mountain, the years had become tranquil and serene.

Within Su City, it remained extraordinarily lively.

The Vast Wave Realm had become even busier than some realms with Holy Lands.

The entry and exit passages of the Vast Wave Realm were bustling with countless cultivators coming and going every day.

The passageways of the Vast Wave Realm had also been fortified by Qin Changqing.

Now in the Vast Wave Realm, there were only a few fixed pathways for entry and exit.

At these passageways, there were also Heaven and Earth Arrays.

The Vast Wave Realm could now be said to be completely owned by the Qin family.

The Guiyuan Sect and other Sects naturally still existed.

But even the Master Guiyuan was now Qin Changqing’s woman, and with Qin Changqing’s current strength, as well as the Qin family’s power, the Guiyuan Sect had essentially become a subordinate Immortal Gate to the Qin family.

It was mainly used to cultivate the Qin family’s offspring.

Of course, they would still recruit from outside.

Thousands of years had passed, and the entire Cultivation Realm’s landscape had undergone tremendous changes due to Qin Changqing, to say nothing of the Vast Wave Realm.

On this day, the Master Guiyuan also came out of seclusion, having traversed the second decline.

Naturally, she couldn’t compare in speed to Tao Yao and the others; even compared to the Sect Leader, she was a bit slower.

Because the Sect Leader, as one with an Immortal Spirit Root, could also utilize immortal energy to traverse the Decline Kalpa.

Master Guiyuan had faced considerable dangers when she had traversed the first decline.

Previously unstable in her foundation, it was already very impressive for her to have traversed the second decline within two thousand years.

Seeing that Master Guiyuan had come out of seclusion, Qin Changqing went to her cave dwelling.

Perhaps it was because of Dieyun’s relationship, or perhaps because of Master Guiyuan’s usual reserve, even now, Master Guiyuan had not let herself go in front of Qin Changqing.

Qin Changqing, however, didn’t mind; this way, there was a unique charm to it.

He immersed himself in hard work, indulging in extreme pleasure.

Over a month later, Qin Changqing finally let Master Guiyuan go, satisfied.

He wasn’t in a hurry to go to the Moon Immortal World, although Tao Yao said that through a complete Taoist Rhyme, he might be able to enter Great Luo directly while ascending.

Qin Changqing was not anxious.

Haste would not bring success.

Nine Transformations to Immortality was already so perilous, to enter Great Luo directly would undoubtedly be even more dangerous.

Immortal Becoming Energy was the key.

Fortunately, the Qin family had already become an immense entity, with its population steadily increasing, Qin Changqing’s Immortal Becoming Energy was also rising rapidly.

But he couldn’t rush it.

The Third Tone would wait until after his Fourth Transformation; for now, there was no rush.

There was still plenty of time.

Qin Changqing preferred to be cautious, taking things one step at a time.

Moreover, the intentions of that “Great One” above the moon—who had never shown themselves—behind sharing the Third Tone of the Moon God were still unknown.

The possibility that they bore direct malice was not great.

But it was likely not out of sheer generosity or simply to curry favor.

Thus, during Qin Changqing’s last visit, he deliberately played the Second Tone directly; amidst the shock of the other party, perhaps Qin Changqing could glimpse some clues.

Now that he had nearly an eternal life and his strength was also respectable, Qin Changqing naturally would not hastily pile everything together to be accomplished at once.

He still lived his own simple life, occasionally taking a concubine, leading a comfortable and content existence.

As for Taking a Dreamwalk in the Zhou Heaven, Qin Changqing also continued to do so constantly.

Regarding the Multi-Layered Dreamland, each night Qin Changqing only needed to guide his women or promising descendants into a dream.

Each person’s dream was naturally different.

Qin Changqing’s Multi-Layered Dreamland was constructed based on the other party’s dreamscape.

Otherwise, if it was based on his own dreamscape, the burden would be heavy with too many people.

Time hurried by.

In the blink of an eye, several more years had passed.

Throughout these years, Qin Changqing occasionally dreamwalked into the Immortal World, spending not a short amount of time in the Immortal City called “Fuyao.”

The Immortal World was vast; the distance between the ten largest Immortal Cities was not insignificant.

As time went by, Qin Changqing had only dreamwalked to this one Immortal City.

Within the city of Fuyao, the rumors about Qin Changqing from the Ten Thousand Immortals Island had completely spread.

Many cultivators from the various Immortal Cities were curious about who Qin Changqing was, how long it would take for him to ascend and how powerful he would be after his ascension.

However, as time progressed, ordinary cultivators stopped discussing it so frequently.

They would only mention him occasionally when someone brought it up. After all, being mere “mortals,” these cultivators were not devoted to gossiping about others all day; they spent most of their time cultivating.

But cultivating in the Immortal World was vastly different from in the Cultivation Realm; many of these cultivators didn’t possess the same level of composure.

In the Cultivation Realm, a Qi Refining Cultivator could meditate steadfastly, sometimes entering closed-door cultivation for years at a time.

Yet, in the Immortal World, letting a Qi Refining Cultivator seclude themselves for several years is not something they might necessarily be willing to do.

And it seems they don’t need to seclude themselves for quite that long anyway.

Because progress in the Immortal World is swift; moving from Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment doesn’t take much time at all.

However, the faster one progresses early on, the more agonizing it becomes later.

This is why many cultivators in the Immortal World reach a certain realm where, no matter how much they cultivate, it’s not easy to increase their cultivation level.

Of course, this applies to most situations.

In the Immortal World, there were still many exceptionally talented individuals.

Indeed, the ratio of such prodigies was not any less than in the lower realms.

The cultivators from the lower realms appear so formidable because the very act of ascending filters out the extraordinary from the masses.

Don’t you see, over tens of thousands of years in a Spirit Domain, countless cultivators are born, yet of these countless cultivators, only one or two manage to ascend successfully?

This is why Ascended Immortals seem so incredibly powerful and are held in such high regard.

Moreover, not every Ascended Immortal is impressive; some are simply fortunate.

A few more years later, tranquility was once again disturbed beneath the East Sea.

The Ancient Demon began to fiercely attack Qin Changqing’s Array Formation.

“Can’t hold back any longer, huh?”

Qin Changqing was not surprised.

It had been over two thousand years since the Hai Clan of the East Sea was pursued by Qin Changqing, and the Ancient Demon’s reserve should be nearly depleted.

Qin Changqing had come to the East Sea, but he had not gone down; instead, he continuously strengthened his Array Formation.

He was waiting for the Fourth Transformation to be complete.

Just a few years later, at last, Qin Changqing completed the Fourth Transformation.

For the first three turns, each took an average of five hundred years; this Fourth Turn took him slightly longer, over six hundred years.

It was still considered reasonable.

The First and Second Tones of the Moon God had greatly accelerated his progress; otherwise, for the sake of safety, Qin Changqing had been prepared to devote a thousand years to the Fourth Turn.

After the completion of the Fourth Turn, Qin Changqing felt that if he were to seal his strength, his current combat power should be comparable to that of a Spirit Immortal.

“Spirit Immortal!”

A smile appeared on Qin Changqing’s face.

Not yet immortal, his combat power was already comparable to that of a Spirit Immortal!

“It’s time to settle matters with this fellow!”

Now that his combat power was comparable to a Spirit Immortal, Qin Changqing was ready to deal with the impending threat of the Ancient Demon.

Beneath the East Sea, Qin Changqing returned once more.

The surrounding seawater automatically parted ways, as if the area where Qin Changqing stood was a forbidden zone to the sea itself.

Qin Changqing did not employ any techniques.

This was a natural phenomenon that occurred as a result of his immense power.

Even the world itself made way for Qin Changqing.

And that was with his powers still sealed.

However, if his power were unsealed, this piece of heaven and earth would not be able to contain him.
