Chapter 571: 571 Demon Immortal_1
From the Nine Transformations, there were still four to go.
Just so, the Moon God Eight Sounds had four sounds left.
Learning one sound with each transformation was just perfect.
The energy expenditure was not significant, and mastering an additional sound would further reduce the energy consumption required to complete the Nine Transformations.
After reaching the sixth transformation, even if one were to complete a transformation in the normal amount of time, which was one hundred thousand years per transformation, it would still be perilous.
Not to mention someone like Qin Changqing.
Therefore, Qin Changqing did not shorten the time by much at the beginning.
He planned to wait until his Immortal Becoming Energy had accumulated further before proceeding.
In fact, if he were to consume energy at the normal rate, the Immortal Becoming Energy he had accumulated, combined with new inflows, would make it entirely feasible to complete the sixth transformation within a millennium.
Qin Changqing was only afraid of one thing.
That was the sudden and intense consumption of Immortal Becoming Energy.
Meaning, encountering dangers that would use up a great portion of it at once.
What if the danger was so great that it exhausted all the Immortal Becoming Energy in an instant? That would be dangerous.
“It’s time to learn the fifth sound,” Qin Changqing thought.
He would master the fifth sound first.
Thus, Qin Changqing’s dream consciousness once again reached the moon.
“Please wait a moment, sir,” said the woman dressed in moonlight-colored garments as she appeared once again.
Half an hour later, the Moon God’s fifth sound began to play.
In the next hundred years or so, the being on the moon performed the fifth sound for Qin Changqing ten times.
As the tenth rendition came to a close, Qin Changqing was able to play the fifth sound directly once again.
“Sir, you may come and learn the sixth sound at any time,” the woman in the moonlight-colored dress said.
Despite witnessing Qin Changqing’s miracles time after time over the years, and becoming somewhat accustomed to them, she still showed a hint of surprise in her eyes when she saw how quickly he learned the fifth sound.
Mastering the Moon God’s fifth sound made Qin Changqing’s progress through the sixth transformation even smoother.
He reduced the required time to within a thousand years.
Completing it within seven or eight hundred years should not pose too much of an issue.
By the time the passage to the Spirit Realm opened again, Qin Changqing would at least be at the eighth transformation.
Such a level of strength would be adequate for him to eliminate the hidden threat of the Demon Cultivators in one fell swoop.
“Isn’t she sleeping at all?”
A hundred years later, Qin Changqing noticed that the Demon Immortal had recently stopped sleeping.
Even Immortals need to sleep occasionally.
Sleep is the best and most economical method of recovery.
When some formidable beings are gravely injured, they often choose to slumber deeply.
But if one does not wish to sleep, they can stay awake for hundreds, thousands, even tens of thousands of years.
Clearly, the Demon Immortal was not planning to give Qin Changqing any opportunities.
Qin Changqing felt that she must be cultivating at full strength, attempting to break through to a higher realm.
He was not the slightest bit worried about her coming back for another round.
Some years passed, and Qin Changqing had still not found an opportunity to enter her dreams.
However, the Great Dream Recording Skill was becoming even more magical because one day, it seemed that Qin Changqing accidentally entered into the dreams of a Phoenix Immortal.
The Great Dream Recording Skill was indeed magical.
It was unclear what level of Immortal Skill it was.
Tao Yao had never heard of it.
Neither had Qin Xue.
Qin Changqing had acquired it through the Sky Inquiry Stele.
As for the origins of the Sky Inquiry Stele, no one could clearly say.
According to Tao Yao, artifacts like the Sky Inquiry Stele also existed in the Immortal Realm, and they weren’t particularly special in themselves.
It functioned like a search engine, akin to Baidu that Qin Changqing knew of before his time travel.
However, it searched for “those with fate.”
Inside the Sky Inquiry Stele, there were no opportunities to be found.
Smashing it won’t do any good.
It can help you seek opportunities which you might be able to obtain.
Therefore, even Qin Changqing isn’t clear about the specific origins of the Great Dream Recording Skill.
Returning to the main story, in the dream that might have been from a Phoenix Immortal, he dreamed that the bodies of phoenixes were falling from the sky like raindrops.
Faintly, he also sensed a wave of sadness.
The next morning, Qin Changqing woke up and revisited the dream.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was very likely the Phoenix Immortal’s dream.
If it was the Phoenix Immortal’s dream, then Qin Changqing understood somewhat why the Phoenix Immortal would enter into dreams.
From that dream, it seemed that the Phoenix Clan had encountered a catastrophe. For this reason, the Phoenix Immortal chose to reincarnate, and after reincarnation, was also demonized.
Moreover, from some indications in the dream, the true annihilation of the Phoenix Clan seemed to have taken place in the Immortal World.
“Could it be the Monster Immortal Realm?”
Qin Changqing thought.
“My lord, the Monster Immortal Realm is different from the Devil Immortal Realm; the Immortal Realm and the Devil Immortal Realm are completely opposed and thoroughly separated, but the Monster Immortal Realm is connected to the Immortal Realm and can be considered a part of it,”
After Qin Changqing had arrived at Tao Yao’s dwelling, Tao Yao explained.
“Within the Nine Heavens of the Immortal Realm, there’s a Bai Huatian where I achieved immortality. In Bai Huatian, there are also many Demon Immortals. Strictly speaking, I could be considered one of the Demon Immortals as well,”
Tao Yao elaborated in detail.
Through her explanation, Qin Changqing understood.
Demon Immortals are also a part of immortality.
But they are not the same as Demon Immortals.
Many Demon Immortals were originally spiritual beasts that achieved immortality and occupied quite a respectable status in the Immortal World.
In the Immortal World, beings like dragons, phoenixes, Golden Crows, and Kylins all exist.
They are found predominantly in the Monster Immortal Realm.
Whereas in Bai Huatian, there are more plants that have achieved immortality.
For instance, Tao Yao herself is a peach tree that became immortal.
In Bai Huatian, there are also some that were originally flowers before becoming immortal.
For example, the Flowers Fairy is not a single fairy, but a group of fairies that flowered into immortality.
“It’s rare in Bai Huatian to find ascent to immortality; for plants to become immortal is tremendously difficult. It’s almost impossible in Ling Yu, only plants in the Immortal World have a bit more possibility,”
Tao Yao said.
On this point, Qin Changqing was clear.
The peach tree of the Guiyuan Sect after being drained of sap by Qin Changqing, withered significantly, but it also inadvertently benefited because Qin Changqing later helped it.
He used the Great Dream Recording Skill to assist its dream consciousness in progressing further.
Still, for it to achieve immortality remained immensely challenging.
It wasn’t even certain whether it could last through the great trial of thirty thousand years.
This was the case even for the spiritual plants cultivated by a powerful Immortal Gate.
In the wild, it would be even more difficult.
If discovered by some cultivators, they would not hesitate to cut you down and enhance themselves without a second thought.
“My lord, although the Monster Immortal Realm can be considered a part of the Immortal Realm, it’s relatively isolated. Additionally, I spent hundreds of thousands of years preparing for the Great Luo before reincarnation, so my understanding of the Monster Immortal Realm isn’t extensive,”
Tao Yao added.
Seeing that her knowledge was not extensive, Qin Changqing didn’t inquire further.
With the enhancement from the System, as well as the effects of immortal qi, Tao Yao had already nearly crossed the fifth decline.
After a few hundred years, Tao Yao finally passed the fifth decline and achieved Mahayana.
After achieving Mahayana, Tao Yao accompanied Qin Changqing for a full year.
Then, she continued her seclusion.
She intended to push through in one fell swoop to reach Mahayana Perfection, and then ascend further.
By the time Tao Yao reached Mahayana, Qin Xue had also passed the second decline.
The Sect Leader was in the midst of facing the third decline.
As for Qin Changqing’s other women, they were progressing slightly slower.
However, Master Wanyi, whom he married, was also of the Immortal Spirit Root, and with the System’s provided enhancement, had passed the fourth decline in these few thousand years.
This was because Master Wanyi was innately strong.
Similarly, Yunyan had also passed the fourth decline and was now facing the fifth decline.
Although they were not aware that Qin Changqing was undergoing the Nine Transformations to Immortality, he had hinted at it and still hoped they could ascend to immortality on their own.
If all else fails, Qin Changqing could take them with him when he ascended.
