Chapter 638: Chapter 638: The Female Immortal King_1
 

A thousand years had passed quickly.

His progress was no longer slow.

Even though he had chosen one of the hardest paths, it was absolutely feasible to comprehend the Great Luo within ten thousand years.

In fact, it wouldn’t take that long.

Who made his foundation so solid?

From time to time, he would discuss the Dao with Zihe, and Zihe also gained a lot from it.

Not only that, but Qin Changqing’s gains from dream traversal in Zhou Heaven were also significant.

“Since you have come, why not come in for a chat?”

One day, Qin Changqing happened to dream-travel to a celestial star in the Star Sea, where he was invited in by a Taiyi Immortal King.

This Immortal King appeared to be full of immortal demeanor, and was also quite amiable.

Now, Qin Changqing’s dream consciousness was capable of doing much more, so on this celestial star, he discussed the Dao with the Taiyi Immortal King using inscriptions of dream consciousness.

This also sped up Qin Changqing’s progress and led him to more and better understandings.

This discussion went on intermittently for decades.

“Fellow Daoist’s insight is profound, I wish I could have met you earlier.”

The Taiyi Immortal King felt some admiration for Qin Changqing, as well as a bit of regret.

The regret was that he had not fully comprehended the Dao earlier, which led to him only achieving Taiyi.

“Please accept this gift, fellow Daoist, and feel welcome to visit anytime when you are free.”

The Taiyi Immortal King gave Qin Changqing a significant gift.

Qin Changqing did not stand on ceremony; using the power carried by his dream consciousness, he created a space to receive the gift.

The gift was indeed generous, containing a million Immortal Stones.

Worthy of an Immortal King, the generosity was lavish.

This indeed provided Qin Changqing with a method of earning Immortal Stones, hence, his dream consciousness continued to roam freely through the Star Sea.

After all, discussing the Dao was beneficial for him.

In the Star Sea, the major powers were mostly of Immortal King level.

Some Taiyi Immortal Kings who did not want to be constrained established themselves in the Star Sea.

After reaching the level of Taiyi, they truly lived as long as the heavens and the earth, and except in the event of a great catastrophe, they would be deathless and indestructible.

Therefore, there were quite a few Taiyi Immortal Kings in the Star Sea.

With this, Qin Changqing’s dream consciousness soon found another prosperous celestial star.

Even Golden Immortals could not detect him.

“Why hesitate at the gate, fellow Daoist? Since you have come, why not come in for a chat?”

Upon sensing Qin Changqing’s dream consciousness, the Immortal King on this celestial star issued another invitation.

Above the celestial star, the rising sun stretched across the horizon, and when the first ray of sunlight fell upon the land, a wonderful Taoist Rhyme was triggered, echoing through the celestial star.

This Taoist Rhyme was not of the kind that continued endlessly; once triggered, it could last for months.

It was equivalent to a single syllable.

Though just one syllable, the sound of this Taoist Rhyme made the sunrise appear even more magnificent, as if the heavens and the earth were imbued with vitality.

“Fellow Daoist, what do you think of my Morning Sun Sound?”

A white-bearded old man dressed in a white robe, with hands clasped behind his back, stood on a mountain peak and spoke with a hint of pride.

In the sky, a character appeared: Good!

At the sight of this character, the white-bearded elder couldn’t help but stroke his beard and laugh, clearly delighted.

This white-bearded elder was naturally another Taiyi Immortal King.

What he had just played was his own creation, the Morning Sun Sound.

But it was only a single syllable.

Whether it was the Wind Fairy Eight Sounds or the Moon God Eight Sounds, each sound could be seen as a combination of many syllables, many fragments joined together.

Equivalent to a complete piece of music.

Crafting a complete piece of music, as opposed to creating a few syllables, is naturally an entirely different challenge.

Like in Bai Huatian, there are beings above Immortal Masters, but why have they not created something like the Moon God Eight Sounds?

They have already comprehended the Dao, but creating a complete Taoist Rhyme, let alone a whole set, an entire series of Taoist Rhymes, is still a complicated matter.

Demon Immortals who became immortal through plants are not inherently skilled at creating Taoist Rhymes.

Some can sing or play music to an international top-level standard, but if you ask them to compose music, that truly becomes a challenge for them.

However, expressing the Dao they have comprehended through a single sound is naturally feasible for Immortal Kings and Immortal Masters.

It’s just that linking them together into a series becomes much more difficult.

The process of comprehending the Dao is just like that, gaining insight time and time again, then aggregating them to form one’s own Dao.

In the end, by grasping the fruits of the Dao in one go,

one could achieve Taiyi or Great Luo.

“`

“The morning sun rises bright and splendid, igniting a thousand mountains like flames ablaze.”

The white-bearded elder chanted into the wind.

“Fellow Taoist, after observing the sun for so many days, have you perceived a single note?”

Then, he looked at Qin Changqing’s dream consciousness.

Qin Changqing’s dream consciousness gazed at the sun, large as a wheel.

Upon this immortal star named Dawn and Dusk, the sun seemed exceptionally vast.

As it rose slowly, like a giant fireball, sunlight scattered across the land.

Its reflection in the azure sea and sky turned both red.

Qin Changqing felt something, his dream consciousness soared into the sky, welcoming the majestic morning sun.

The next second.

The Taoist Rhyme echoed above Dawn and Dusk Star.

The white-bearded elder, stroking his beard, paused in his motion.

It seemed he was listening.

After a while, his eyes brightened, showing a flash of insight.

Qin Changqing’s Taoist Rhyme was certainly more profound than his own by more than a little!

“Wonderful!”

“Truly wonderful!”

The white-bearded elder exclaimed with a smack of his leg.

“Sky’s twilight colors the waters deep, above so below the red hues leap.”

“One must await until the night is near, to usher the Golden Crow through the azure clear.”

A poem appeared in the sky.

“Excellent!”

The white-bearded elder clapped his hands in praise.

Qin Changqing’s dream consciousness descended from the sky.

“Until we meet again.”

Then, four words emerged.

Seeing this, the white-bearded elder knew that their decades of debating the Dao were coming to an end.

“Debating the Dao with you has been greatly enlightening. As the host to your guest, Mr. Lu offers a humble gift, please accept it.”

The white-bearded elder presented a gift.

Qin Changqing’s dream consciousness accepted the gift.

“From now on, you are an honored guest of Dawn and Dusk Star. Your Rhyme shall be the proof. Should you need it, sound this Rhyme, and Mr. Lu shall aid you,”

the sincere white-bearded elder said.

The dream consciousness quietly departed.

The white-bearded elder watched Qin Changqing’s dream consciousness leave, then stood with his hands behind him atop the mountain summit, gazing at the morning sun.

The debates over these many years had indeed brought him tremendous gains.

It had been a long time since he encountered an immortal with such profound understanding of the Dao, who could also express it in such a simple way as Qin Changqing.

“If only I had met him sooner.”

The white-bearded elder thought to himself.

“Though the corner of the east is gone, the late mulberry plant still has time.”

Immediately, he broke into a smile.

He planned to enter seclusion for a time.

After concluding this dream journey, Qin Changqing summarized his gains, and once again dreamed his way around Zhou Heaven.

He had been dream travelling for over a thousand years.

Debating the Dao with no less than eight Immortal Kings.

Soon, he drifted onto another immortal star.

This star was ruled by a female Immortal King.

“What brings you here late at night, honored guest?”

the female Immortal King asked.

Qin Changqing’s dream consciousness did not carry much power, nor was it sneaking about; he arrived openly and honorably.

A woman is ultimately different from a man.

The female immortal would certainly be somewhat wary.

Indeed, not every time Qin Changqing visited a star with an Immortal King was he invited in.

Some Immortal Kings were absent, perhaps in seclusion or simply uninterested in entertaining.
