Chapter 632: Chapter 632: A Handful with One Grab_1
“`
With this basic strategy in place, no matter how much of a stir his ascension caused in Xuanyuan Immortal City.
Qin Changqing paid it no mind and temporarily remained reclusive.
The two cave abodes were vast and not at all stuffy.
The people Qin Changqing brought with him could all cultivate in the Immortal World.
It was only the mortal concubines who couldn’t cultivate, but they also had ample space to move around.
Many of Qin Changqing’s concubines and daughters were extremely curious about the Immortal World.
But they also restrained their curiosity.
So, when the tremors of Qin Changqing’s ascension began to spread throughout Xuanyuan Immortal City and further into other Immortal Cities of the Immortal World,
Qin Changqing was in his cave, turning away visitors.
The Immortal Envoys from the various major powers, seeing that Qin Changqing had accepted their congratulatory gifts, were not in a hurry.
After all, having just ascended, he surely needed to consolidate his realm.
Moreover, Qin Changqing became a Golden Immortal as soon as he ascended.
Just consolidating his realm would take many years.
In the time scale of immortals, this period wasn’t significant.
Thus, these Immortal Envoys took up residence in Xuanyuan Immortal City.
“Two million eight hundred thousand Immortal Stones!”
Within the cave, Qin Changqing had tallied the number of Immortal Stones acquired on the path of ascension.
A total of two million eight hundred thousand Immortal Stones.
This gain was immensely rich.
Ordinarily, a person at the Mahayana Stage ascending could consider it good fortune to obtain tens of thousands of Immortal Stones.
A more impressive Separated Immortal might generally obtain several tens of thousands.
But Qin Changqing had swept clean all the Immortal Stones on the path, amassing over two million eight hundred thousand.
Beyond that, there were other gains as well.
For example, some materials and substances whose names even Qin Changqing couldn’t recall.
He even found some legacies left behind on the path of ascension.
It was unknown who left them there.
Qin Changqing himself didn’t need these Immortal Stones; they could be used by his women and descendants.
As for himself, his rewards would continue to come.
Although he had ascended, in the Blue Realm, he still had several billion descendants, and their numbers were constantly increasing.
Descendants with Spiritual Roots were also being born continuously.
His descendants would have more and more ascending, providing a never-ending reciprocal feeding for Qin Changqing.
“Once I achieve Golden Immortal Perfection, I can then ascend to Great Luo,” Qin Changqing mused.
With his current state, having just become a Golden Immortal, he had reached the pinnacle of this realm.
Once he attained Golden Immortal Perfection, he could ascend to Great Luo.
For an immortal to achieve perfection in a major realm is different from a cultivator achieving perfection in a major realm.
An Immortal could still continue to accumulate quantity even after achieving perfection within a realm.
Perfection signified that one could attempt to breakthrough to the next realm.
Despite ascending to Great Luo, Qin Changqing could still rely on the System to advance effortlessly.
Based on experience, advancing effortlessly with the help of the System often yielded better results.
The purpose of building the Taoist Foundation was to save a considerable amount of cultivation and time.
Indeed, without building a Tao foundation, with the System, ascending to Great Luo was a sure thing for Qin Changqing.
Should he choose not to build it, however, the resources and time needed to achieve Great Luo would likely multiply several folds.
“Husband, are you sure you don’t need these things?”
“Hmm, Tao Yao, don’t worry about me, you should focus on restoring your strength; that’s the main priority,” Qin Changqing reassured.
Inside the cave, Tao Yao had brought a large amount of resources.
These were the abundant cultivation resources she had left for herself before reincarnating.
Seeing that Qin Changqing had already reached the peak of the Golden Immortal stage upon ascension, Tao Yao did not hesitate to give Qin Changqing the numerous resources she had prepared for ascending to Great Luo.
“Alright, Husband!”
Seeing that Qin Changqing refused, Tao Yao had no choice but to put them away.
In her heart, her curiosity about her husband grew.
Curiosity was one thing, but Tao Yao would never pry into her husband’s secrets.
“Tao Yao~”
“`
“Hmm~”
Upon catching Qin Changqing’s gaze, Tao Yao knew what her husband was thinking.
It had been a few thousand years since she last saw him.
And so, the night took on a romantic air.
“Husband, whether it’s the Taiyi Immortal King or the Daluo Supreme Immortal, in essence, they are still Golden Immortals, just Golden Immortals who have attained Tao fruits. The Taiyi Immortal King is a Taiyi Golden Immortal, while the Daluo Supreme Immortal is a Daluo Golden Immortal,”
“The difference lies in that the Great Luo Tao Fruit is more orthodox, receiving the creation of heaven and earth, while the Taiyi Tao Fruit is somewhat inferior, making the road ahead much more difficult.”
A few days later, Tao Yao slowly spoke in Qin Changqing’s embrace.
In these years, Qin Changqing had achieved his own understanding of the Moon God Eight Sounds, his insights reaching beyond that of a Golden Immortal.
His deeper understanding was beneficial.
It allowed for the effects of the System rewards on his cultivation to be even better.
The Moon God Eight Sounds could not be transmitted to outsiders, so Qin Changqing did not pass them on to Tao Yao.
Tao Yao still had a few thousand years before she could return to Golden Immortal status, and it would take even more time to reach Golden Immortal Perfection.
There was no rush.
Qin Changqing’s plan was to create his own set of Taoist Rhymes through his understanding of the Dao.
After all, the Taoist Rhymes of the Nine Heavens belonged to the Nine Heavens.
He wanted to create a Taoist Rhyme that best suited the Qin family based on their circumstance.
With Qin Changqing becoming a Golden Immortal, more benefits were on their way.
For instance, the moment he achieved ascension, the entire bloodline of the Qin family was transformed.
Many of Qin Changqing’s descendants broke through their own boundaries as a result.
Additionally, the elusive essence of Fortune now enveloped the Qin family.
In short, when one person attained the Dao, the whole family reaped the blessings.
After spending some tender days with Tao Yao, she left with some Immortal Stones Qin Changqing had given her.
She needed to purchase some items.
Qin Changqing, in turn, shattered a few Immortal Stones in both of his retreats.
A few were enough because one Immortal Stone was equivalent to several large Spirit Stone Mines.
These stones were meant for Immortals to use.
In the Spirit Domain, just a few pieces were priceless treasures.
They made the Spiritual Qi in both retreats incredibly dense.
“Filling my body with Immortal Element, I wonder how long that will take,”
Qin Changqing pondered after introspecting his internal condition.
Upon reaching Golden Immortal status, every cell in the body became a microcosm.
All could be utilized to store Immortal Element.
Of course, reaching Golden Immortal Perfection didn’t require filling every single cell in the body; that was unrealistic.
“Those veteran Golden Immortals, even if stuck at Golden Immortal and unable to achieve the Dao, probably have quite impressive accumulations,”
Qin Changqing thought.
The longer a Golden Immortal lived, the more astonishing their accumulation likely was.
He wondered if there was anyone who could fill every cell and every place capable of storing Immortal Element in their body.
If there was, such a Golden Immortal’s ability to sustain in battle would be extremely formidable.
Of course, no matter how great the quantity, without a qualitative change, it was in vain.
No matter how substantial your accumulation, you still couldn’t beat an Immortal King.
“Senior Qin!”
One day, Qin Changqing still received a few guests.
These were He and other Immortals, around twenty or so, who ascended from the Blue Realm.
Each Immortal behaved with utmost respect towards Qin Changqing.
They were incredibly grateful to him.
In the reception area outside his retreat, Qin Changqing welcomed them and conversed with them for some time.
During the over two millennium since their ascension, they had left Xuanyuan Immortal City a few times to seek out Immortal Herbs and Drugs.
Within the Immortal World, treasures were everywhere, but these treasures were more so in the eyes of the cultivators.
Items required for Deifying and Void Refinement Unity were abundant.
For Immortals, there were also numerous useful things, but they required personal effort to find.
A day later, the twenty or so Immortals left, each leaving a congratulatory gift for Qin Changqing.
Qin Changqing accepted them.
