Chapter 606: Chapter 606 People from the Nine Heavens_1
“`
Of course, this didn’t mean it could no longer grow, but ultimately, it was limited.
This creature was also incredibly eager to enter the Immortal Realm.
Having grown to this extent, even as a Demonic Beast, its potential was extraordinary.
That’s why Cultivator He, as a Scattered Immortal about to ascend, drew its attention.
In the Spirit Realm, this creature was already comparable to a hegemonic existence, with probably fewer than ten stronger than it.
“So powerful!”
Many Scattered Immortals were already stunned by this white bird.
This also represented one of the most significant challenges of a Scattered Immortal’s ascension.
If it had been a one or two-transformation Scattered Immortal, perhaps it wouldn’t have alarmed this white bird, but it would have startled some extremely powerful beings.
Cultivator He even managed to rouse this creature.
“Boom!”
However, the frowns of worry etched on the Scattered Immortals’ faces soon relaxed, as the formidable white bird was quickly beaten by Qin Changqing to the point of coughing blood, unable to escape.
“Submit to me, and I shall take you to the Immortal Realm one day,” Qin Changqing said, after having stepped on the white bird, brutally beaten it, and then stuffed an elixir into it.
“Chirp chirp~”
Upon ingesting the elixir, the white bird’s eyes shone brightly, and it nodded incessantly.
“I will forever be grateful for the protection and assistance of Senior Qin,” Cultivator He said.
At that moment, after Qin Changqing blocked all distractions and within the last ten minutes, Cultivator He consumed all his trump cards along with the elixirs given by Qin Changqing and, by the skin of his teeth, managed to open the Immortal Gate just wide enough for one person to pass through.
With this, the Four-Transformation Scattered Immortal successfully ascended!
“Here it comes, it’s happening again!”
“Such commotion and power… it’s definitely not a True Immortal!”
“Could it be Qin Changqing?”
“It doesn’t seem likely, Qin Changqing is a Nine-Transformation Scattered Immortal who can annihilate Immortals with a single strike. If he were to become an Immortal, he would directly become a Golden Immortal, and the uproar that would cause is unimaginable.”
As Cultivator He ascended, the area around the Ascension Pool in Xuanyuan Immortal City once again buzzed with activity.
This ascension of Cultivator He took place just a decade or so after the Mahayana and Scattered Immortals had ascended.
During those years, Qin Changqing’s main focus was on alchemy.
Semi Immortal Elixirs and elixirs of that caliber required no small amount of time to concoct.
Even when proficient, elixirs inherently required time to take shape.
More than a decade was naturally interminably long for mere mortals with but a few decades of life.
For the cultivators in the Immortal City, it was nothing substantial.
Because the last ascension of a dozen people together was so astonishing, many cultivators were still standing guard here.
For cultivators within the Immortal Realm, the speed of cultivation wasn’t a significant issue.
The Spiritual Qi of the Immortal Realm was so dense that even a common blade of grass placed in the mortal world would be considered top-notch, thus even those with mixed Spiritual Roots could achieve Foundation Establishment.
Their biggest problem was actually overcoming bottlenecks and breaking through realms.
Therefore, within many Immortal Cities, one could see a large number of cultivators who loved to flock to exciting events and some who were somewhat “idle.”
In the lower world, where some would enter closed-door cultivation for many years, such cases existed but were relatively rare.
Some cultivators in the Immortal Realm, after being bottlenecked, found that they couldn’t breakthrough even in seclusion, and thus travelled far and wide, making friends, in search of opportunities for breakthrough.
Over the years, in Xuanyuan Immortal City, the name “Qin Changqing” remained highly popular among many cultivators.
Many Immortals within the city took notice of him as well.
However, these Immortals wouldn’t be as idle as the cultivators, many of them wouldn’t stand guard every day at the Ascension Pool.
“Fellow Daoist, please hold!”
Just as Cultivator He was preparing to leave the Ascension Pool, at the same time, several Immortals flew out.
“It’s the people from Nine Heavens!”
“Are those from Nine Heavens planning to recruit people from the Ascension Pool? Don’t they visit Ten Thousand Immortals Island every hundred thousand years?”
“I guess they’ve come for Qin Changqing.”
“`
Many cultivators who witnessed this scene started discussing among themselves.
“Fellow Daoist, I am an Immortal Envoy from the Thunder Immortal Realm. Having just ascended, you were able to reach the level of a Spirit Immortal directly. You must be a Scattered Immortal who has become immortal, right?”
An Immortal came to Cultivator He’s side and asked.
“Immortal Envoy He, aren’t you asking something you already know? Such astonishing brilliance from a fellow Daoist, our Wind Immortal World has specially prepared a congratulatory gift for you.”
Another Immortal arrived, directly offering a gift.
“Just in time, our Five Heavens also have a congratulatory gift to present~”
Another came.
Cultivator He, having lived for several hundred thousand years, couldn’t help but feel a bit excited seeing these Immortals so enthusiastic.
After all, who wouldn’t be excited to receive such treatment immediately after ascending?
He accepted the congratulatory gifts one by one.
“Cultivator He, you hailing from the Blue Realm, how much do you know about Qin Changqing?”
Then, Cultivator He heard an Immortal Envoy ask.
Qin Changqing!
Cultivator He looked up to see many Immortal Envoys watching him.
Immediately, he somewhat understood why the Immortals of the Nine Heavens were so enthusiastic.
This wasn’t for him.
Even if he reached the level of a Spirit Immortal as soon as he ascended, he knew a bit about the Nine Heavens of the Immortal Realm.
In these Nine Heavens, where powerful beings abound, would they care about a mere Spirit Immortal like him?
Even though he was a Four-Transformation Immortal and his potential far exceeded the average Immortal’s, it still wouldn’t warrant such attention.
It turns out it was all for Qin Changqing.
Of course, there were also some factors related to him. Others took the opportunity to present him with a gift before probing for information about Qin Changqing.
Cultivator He pondered for a moment and said, “Has Senior Qin’s great name already spread to the Immortal Realm?”
After all, having lived for several hundred thousand years, he wouldn’t reveal everything about Qin Changqing, who had bestowed great favors upon him, no matter how enthusiastic the Immortal Envoys from the Nine Heavens were.
“Of course, in these past few years, the name Qin Changqing has spread across many Immortal Cities. It’s rare to find one Nine Transformations to Immortality in millions of years, so naturally, we would like to recruit such talent.”
The Immortal Envoy from the Thunder Immortal Realm said.
After asking a few more questions, Cultivator He learned about some rumors concerning Qin Changqing within the Immortal Realm and began to reveal some details about him.
He spoke selectively, however.
For instance, the way Qin Changqing pacified Demon Cultivators and helped many from the Mahayana and Scattered Immortals to ascend.
As well as other trivial details of little importance.
As for other things, like how Qin Changqing cultivated and so on, he did not mention at all.
Even so, many Immortal Envoys felt they had gained a lot, having obtained more detailed information about Qin Changqing.
“Cultivator He, do you know how much longer it will be before Qin Changqing ascends?”
An Immortal Envoy asked.
“That, I do not know,”
Cultivator He said.
“It’s said that another cultivator from the Blue Realm has ascended, and also a Scattered Immortal.”
“So many ascending from the Blue Realm at once, most likely has something to do with Qin Changqing.”
“Isn’t that obvious? I wonder who this Qin Changqing really is, to be so defiant of the heavens.”
“Let’s wait and see if there are more to come.”
At the edge of the Ascension Pool, some cultivators who had heard some tidbits of information once again spread rumors.
Only a few months passed, and yet another Scattered Immortal had ascended in the pool.
After that, the Scattered Immortals began ascending one after another, at intervals ranging from a few months to a few years.
The reason for the longer interval than the Mahayana was that Qin Changqing had learned of the circumstances of the Scattered Immortals’ ascensions and had concocted some elixirs to assist them in their ascent.
With the greatest challenge of Scattered Immortal ascension resolved by Qin Changqing, these Scattered Immortals turned out to be quite capable.
