Chapter 744: Chapter 743: Astonishing Growth Speed
 

Qin Changqing had withstood even an Immortal Emperor Level Great Terror and drove the foe into a hasty retreat with his might, solely relying on their greater numbers.

Ultimately, Qin Changqing was not an Immortal Emperor, and in the previous battles, the Saints had not been without their uses.

However, after clashing head-on with Qin Changqing, they realized the terror of his strength.

Within the Immortal World, Qin Changqing once again returned.

Despite the pursuit that lasted tens of thousands of years failing to slay the Immortal Emperor Great Terror, Qin Changqing felt nothing of it.

His current power was still insufficient.

Moreover, this journey let Qin Changqing understand, just how troublesome these fellows were.

According to the Ancient Emperor, once Qin Changqing sought to prove the Great Dao, he would likely face a wave of these beings’ assassinations.

The hallmark of an era ascending to its peak is the birth of more and ever-stronger powerhouses.

When an era can foster beings of Great Dao Saint status, it signifies… that the era has ripened like the fruit upon a tree, ready for harvest.

Harvesting at this time yields the greatest reward.

Once a Great Dao Saint emerges, the threat to the “Great Terrors” is immense. If this Great Dao Saint wishes to slaughter in the Chaos Sea like other Immortal Emperors, to get rid of the “Great Terrors”…

No one knows how many of the “Great Terrors” would meet their demise.

And with a Great Dao Saint standing within the Immortal World, all invading foes can be repelled.

At such times, the “Great Terrors” wanting to harvest the era would have to wait until it weakened.

For some “Great Terrors,” this wait is insignificant.

After all, they seek to survive the world through prolonged hibernation.

Still, everyone wants a larger share of the spoils.

Acting in different phases, each “Great Terror” would reap different benefits.

This era is still on the rise, with its duration expected to last at the very least for a billion years.

There is still a lot of time for Qin Changqing.

After becoming a Quasi-Emperor, reaching the next levels would take even longer.

The Way of Treading Heaven, when proving the path of a Great Dao Saint or Immortal Emperor, is even harder and more perilous.

Furthermore, Qin Changqing must consider the influence of the “Great Terrors.”

Once he starts his path to Becoming a Saint, the number of enemies he faces will likely be anything but few.

Therefore, he must be fully assured before proceeding.

However, no matter how long it takes, it’s improbable to exceed a hundred million years.

Qin Changqing estimated that at most ten or twenty million years would suffice.

The Devil Immortal Realm also welcomed the return of four Demon Saints.

Seeing the Demon Saints return, Jiuyou Demon Lord could not hold back and went to complain about Qin Changqing’s “atrocities.”

Although Qin Changqing had driven all the “Great Terrors” away when they first arrived, in Jiuyou Demon Lord’s view, this could not negate Qin Changqing’s suppression of the Devil Immortal Realm.

“Let’s put this matter aside for now and not provoke Nether Heaven,”

Yet, the response Jiuyou Demon Lord received from the Demon Saints was simply this.

No Demon Saint wished to provoke Qin Changqing, at least not now; they did not plan to turn against Qin Changqing just yet.

The four Demon Saints returned to their abodes, leaving Jiuyou Demon Lord in frustration.

Within the Monster Immortal Realm, the situation was somewhat different.

The Monster Immortals, after Qin Changqing had handed out both a beating and rewards, were already divided.

A vast number of Monster Immortals were, in fact, filled with gratitude towards Qin Changqing.

The Blood Lion Demon Lord, after Qin Changqing had created a Taoist Rhyme for the Demon Lion clan, was not much opposed to him either.

There were also differences among the two Demon Saints themselves.

Thus, even after the return of the Demon Saints, there was not much impact on the structure of the Monster Immortal Realm.

One day, a Demon Saint from the Monster Immortal Realm even invited Qin Changqing to be a guest.

This Demon Saint was none other than a phoenix, strictly speaking, a female phoenix.

The Phoenix Clan in the Monster Immortal Realm was a very large family.

Comprising several branches, the most powerful was this Demon Saint-level phoenix.

Speaking of which, the enemy of the Phoenix Immortal also resided in the Monster Immortal Realm, yet Qin Changqing had never resolved the matter with the other party, and had not even mentioned it.

This was left for the Phoenix Immortal to resolve herself.

The Phoenix Immortal had long reached the Great Luo stage, and once she became a Semi-Saint, she would return to the Monster Immortal Realm to avenge her clanspeople.

The presence of Qin Changqing could deter the other forces within the Monster Immortal Realm, including the two Demon Saints, from interfering in this matter.

The invitation from the Primordial Phoenix to Qin Changqing as a guest actually aimed to ask for his help for the Phoenix Clan in creating a complete Taoist Rhyme.

Qin Changqing agreed.

“The Primordial Phoenix is not me, but a phoenix from before the ancient times. The bloodline of the Demon Race has some special traits; no matter how many generations pass, there’s always a slight possibility of regression to ancestry,” the Demon Saint Phoenix said.

She began to share some secrets of the Demon Race with Qin Changqing.

The Demon Race indeed had some peculiar traits.

As long as a bloodline once existed and was passed down, there was a certain chance of ancestral regression.

Of course, this possibility was pitifully low.

There might not be even one in an entire era.

The existence of the Phoenix Immortal was due to her being in the Chaos Sea at the time, engaged in a great battle with an Immortal Emperor Great Terror.

She had not taken care of the Monster Immortal Realm, so two factions of the Phoenix Clan stirred up trouble.

Otherwise, a descendant with Primordial bloodline, being a Demon Saint, would certainly have intervened in this affair.

The two factions weren’t exactly unafraid of her, they just felt that once the bloodline transplantation was complete, and the fact established, even if the Demon Saint blamed them, she wouldn’t be able to eradicate them.

The survival rules in the Monster Immortal Realm were indeed crueler than in the Immortal World.

Having a heaven-defying bloodline but failing to protect it was not without reason—it might simply be due to one’s own lack of destiny.

Qin Changqing did not bring up the Phoenix Immortal again, nor did he ask for the help of the Demon Saint Phoenix.

He hadn’t intervened himself, and there was no need to borrow the hands of others.

He would wait until the Phoenix Immortal became a Semi-Saint before taking revenge.

The years once again became leisurely.

The “Great Terrors” had quieted down.

The battle in the Immortal World two million years ago had caused these entities significant losses; they needed to enter a long period of sleep.

Qin Changqing, however, had no intention of finding them. With the vastness of the Chaos Sea, there were too many places for these entities to hide.

After all, they would come.

So he would wait for them to come.

On this day, a wedding ceremony also took place.

Zi Wei Fairy officially married Qin Changqing.

As for the Flowers Celestial Master, although she was Qin Changqing’s woman, she did not care about these formalities after becoming a Saint.

Not long after the wedding ceremony of Zi Wei Fairy and Qin Changqing, the Qin family welcomed another Great Luo.

Up to now, the total number of Great Luos in the entire Qin family had already surpassed one hundred.

The Qin family alone now possessed half of the Great Luos in the Immortal World.

After becoming immortal, whether one can grow depends on many factors.

The Qin family had many monstrous talents, but it was impossible for everyone to reach Great Luo in a short amount of time.

Including the women Qin Changqing had brought from the minor worlds, not all could reach Great Luo.

Of course, this was also related to some of them wanting to lay a solid foundation.

Many people at the peak of Golden Immortal had settled for over a million years, just waiting for the breakthrough to Great Luo.

From time to time, there would be those ready to prove the Dao, who failed to become Great Luo but succeeded in becoming Taiyi.

Exceptions still existed.

Even Qin Changqing could not guarantee it one hundred percent.

Especially for those with inherently poor aptitude, reaching Taiyi was actually quite good.

If not for being Qin Changqing’s women or descendants, even reaching Golden Immortal would be cause for gratitude to heaven and earth.

In any case, the entire Qin family was growing at an astonishing rate.
