Unlocking The Easy Mode Of Cultivation After Getting Married - Chapter 695:
Chapter 695: Chapter 695: The 70,000th Birthday
On this day, Qin Changqing’s dream consciousness once again arrived in the Divine Spirit World, and the Ancient Emperor, at last, was no longer in secluded cultivation.
She was sitting on her throne, biting into an unidentifiable fruit.
Upon Qin Changqing’s arrival, he realized that the Ancient Emperor’s power must have reached the level of a Golden Immortal.
And not just any ordinary Golden Immortal, but at least at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm.
It had been over twenty thousand years since Qin Changqing had found her.
In that span of over twenty thousand years, she had attained the level of a Golden Immortal, a speed of progression that was not much slower than Tao Yao’s during her re-cultivation.
The Ancient Emperor was truly worthy of the title.
“This world is quite interesting. I’ve found a way to utilize the power of this world. Now, I’m a little tempted to visit more worlds, to gather the strengths of these worlds, perhaps even reaching an unprecedented level,”
the Ancient Emperor said, holding the half-eaten fruit in her right hand as she saw Qin Changqing approach.
She was able to use the power of this world now?
The Ancient Emperor blinked, “Why don’t you bring me another Reincarnation Fruit?”
Qin Changqing replied, “You have already undergone one reincarnation. Another Reincarnation Fruit won’t offer you another cycle of reincarnation.”
“That’s because your era is too weak; no one presides over reincarnation.”
The Ancient Emperor went back to biting her fruit.
Qin Changqing looked at her, “If you’re so powerful, why didn’t you eliminate the ‘Great Terror’ back then?”
Eating her fruit, the Ancient Emperor responded nonchalantly, “Who says I didn’t? Do you have any idea how rampant they were before my time? Countless worlds born in the Outer Heaven Realm were devoured by them, leaving none behind.”
As she spoke, she put down the fruit and looked towards Qin Changqing.
“Once, my killings created a river of blood billions of miles long in the Outer Heaven Realm. Those creatures would tremble at the mere mention of my name. The ones that remain are merely rats that hid farther and tighter and newcomers at that.”
The Ancient Emperor said calmly.
Her tone was mild, yet there was a natural authority about her now.
At this moment, she seemed once again to be the supreme Immortal Emperor who, with a single act of anger, could cause the very heavens and earth to change color.
No wonder she always seemed so indifferent.
Given her former strength, what was the Great Terror to her?
And what could possibly pique her interest?
Qin Changqing admitted he had been completely taken in by her.
The Ancient Emperor of old, although a follower of the Demon Way, was still the absolute protagonist of an era.
It seems that if she had not eradicated a wave of them, the “Great Terror” would have been even more rampant.
“What is your name? Let me be in the know.”
Then, Qin Changqing asked.
The Ancient Emperor blinked, “My name… I won’t tell you.”
Qin Changqing replied, “I’ve changed my mind. Ten are not enough… at least twenty!” The Ancient Emperor’s expression changed.
Time hurried by.
Qin Changqing’s 60,000th birthday arrived.
Sixty thousand years.
In the world before his transmigration, who knows how many cycles of civilization had passed.
However, in this world, even within the Spirit Domain, there was little change in the civilization of ordinary people.
There was little development in terms of technology.
The reason for this was simple.
Under the laws of the Immortal World, the entire world did not evolve towards technology.
The “technologies” that developed in some Spirit Domains were not purely technological in nature.
Think about it, the technology of Blue Star, Qin Changqing’s world before transmigration, and how much damage it did to the world’s ecology.
Pollution, various non-degradable wastes, harmful gases, chemicals.
Water pollution, air pollution, light pollution… even the oceans and underground were not spared.
If such technology were to develop in the Spirit Domain… no Saint would need to intervene; a mere Immortal Gate like the one in Tianchuan State, which initially only had Golden Elixir Cultivators, could easily suppress it.
Because it would cause tremendous damage to the Spiritual Veins and Spiritual Qi.
In fact, worlds like the Myriad Stars World have a technological aspect, such as the use of stellar energy by the Immortals within it.
Throughout the star system, colossal starships can be seen everywhere.
However, these starships use Spiritual Energy or stellar energy as fuel, treating the star core as a source of power,
Similarly, within the Spirit Domains subordinate to the Immortal World, there exist similar realms.
In some Spirit Domains, there are even things like production lines for Flying Swords.
It’s possible to mass-produce Magical Treasures.
These ideas are not unprecedented.
However, truly powerful Magical Treasures cannot be produced on a production line.
Immortal Artifacts are even more difficult.
In theory, that is the idea, speaking of which, what is so difficult about cultivation, what is so hard about Immortal Artifacts.
Isn’t it all about absorbing energy, transforming energy, and converting the energy that can be absorbed from the world into one’s own?
Saying it is one thing that everyone can do.
But when it comes to doing it, the difficulty is extraordinarily high.
The likes of refining elixirs with a microwave oven would simply be impossible.
Qin Changqing still sent gifts to the Ancient Emperor every once in a while.
Several thousand years later, Lan Ling ascended to the Immortal World.
Qin Changqing sent people to receive her in Divine Continent Heaven.
Then he arranged a tall and imposing immortal mountain just for her, and assigned a number of maidservants to serve her.
These maidservants were basically cultivators from the Immortal World.
Since he had brought her out, Qin Changqing was still responsible for her.
He was a man of his word. Having promised those from that world inscribed on the stele, Qin Changqing would not go back on his word.
Qin Changqing also provided all the resources Lan Ling needed.
In addition, he provided her with Elixirs and Immortal Artifacts of very good quality.
“Thank you, Qing.”
Lan Ling had a tranquil demeanor, perhaps because she had experienced the extinction of her entire world, she took many things in stride.
She was extremely grateful to Qin Changqing.
And her impression of him was very good.
The Ancient Emperor’s strength continued to rise quickly.
If this continued, even in that world, she could have grown to become a Great Luo.
Her path ultimately became somewhat different.
Soon, Qin Changqing’s seventy-thousandth birthday arrived.
Shortly after Qin Changqing’s seventy-thousandth birthday, he discovered that the Dao-comprehension Energy he had accumulated was enough for him to become a Semi-Saint.
As such, Qin Changqing consumed this Dao-comprehension Energy, deciding to first become a Semi-Saint before anything else.
Although he could have gone straight to being a Saint, if he could first cross the stage of Semi-Saint, he naturally would do so first.
After crossing it, the rewards from the System in terms of cultivation would be even more valuable.
A hundred years later, after having used up the Dao-comprehension Energy accumulated over more than ten thousand years, Qin Changqing successfully opened the grand gateway to sainthood.
He became a Semi-Saint.
This was different from becoming a Great Luo.
Becoming a Semi-Saint… seemed a bit more inconspicuous.
Although being a Semi-Saint is a stage with much greater combat power than a Great Luo, it is still a transitional stage from a Great Luo to a Saint.
The advantage of a Semi-Saint over a Pseudo-Saint is that the Dao source gained by a Pseudo-Saint simply cannot withstand use.
A Semi-Saint, on the other hand, can continuously gain power and maintain the combat strength of a Semi-Saint without becoming weaker over time like a Pseudo-Saint.
Therefore, when Qin Changqing became a Semi-Saint this time, it did not cause much of a stir.
Just like when he became a Pseudo-Saint, nobody knew about it.
Qin Changqing also had no intention of announcing it.
