YM778.TV Chapter 545 - 545 Phoenix Feathers and Unicorn Horns_1
Within the Spirit Realm, a second transformation demon practitioner was looking increasingly sullen.
Despite his repeated attempts, they were all blocked by an extremely powerful Golden Armored Divine Soldier.
Witnessing Qin Changqing’s formidable strength, many Mahayana cultivators and separated immortals within the spiritual realm were putting their hearts at ease. At the same time, they were curious as to whether Qin Changqing would ascend today.
They were unsure about Qin Changqing’s plan.
“Before his reincarnation, Brother Qin was likely a great power above the level of Golden Immortal, possibly even Great Luo. Although I don’t know why he reincarnated, his growth after reincarnation is still terrifying. I guess he might try to become a ninth turn immortal.”
A scattered immortal guessed.
He managed to infer Qin Changqing’s intention.
“The process of becoming a ninth turn immortal is too long, wouldn’t ascending earlier yield the same results?”
“It isn’t the same. There are many advantages to becoming a ninth turn immortal. If it weren’t for the fact that reincarnation is difficult and becoming a ninth turn immortal is extremely risky, who knows how many immortals would want to become ninth turn immortals.”
The scattered immortals started discussing among themselves.
Amid their discussion, the Immortal Gate was finally blasted open by Qin Changqing, who extended it by four fists’ width.
At this moment, less than two hours had passed.
“Four fists’ width now, that’s enough for one person to pass through!”
“Will Senior Qin ascend?”
Various masters were filled with curiosity.
Qin Changqing showed no signs of ascending and continued to bombard the Immortal Gate.
He realized that the radiant nine-colored light enveloping him, apart from being absorbed by him, could surprisingly also enhance his Immortal Becoming Energy.
This was an unexpected gain.
Hence, Qin Changqing used more of the Immortal Becoming Energy to blast the Immortal Gate even wider and absorb more nine-colored light.
No Mahayana stage cultivator could completely absorb this nine-colored light, as there was a limit to their absorption speed. The surplus could be transformed into Immortal Becoming Energy.
This was essentially a benefit given to the ascender by the heaven and earth of the Immortal World. This was also why Bingmeng Fairy’s success rate drastically dropped after the demon cultivators took her nine-colored light.
This sort of benefit was only available once during ascension.
Theoretically, it’s not just once, two or even three times could be possible.
Because if a Mahayana cultivator did not manage to open the Immortal Gate four fists’ wide in their first attempt and became a separated immortal instead, they could continue trying. However, the challenge in opening the Immortal Gate during the next attempt would be over 10 times more difficult.
Similarly, if a Mahayana cultivator couldn’t extend the Immortal Gate to four fists’ wide in their second attempt, the difficulty to do so in their third attempt would be over a hundred times.
Effectively, the difficulty intensifies by several tens, hundreds, or thousands of times with each subsequent attempt.
This is yet another reason why it is much harder for separated immortals to ascend.
Qin Changqing not entering the Immortal Gate after it was opened, followed the same logic.
After Qin Changqing ramped up the consumption of his Immortal Becoming Energy, the Immortal Gate was quickly blown open by him to two, three, then four persons’ widths.
The amount of Immortal Becoming Energy consumed was enormous.
However, the rewards were equally substantial.
The gains were several times more than the consumption.
Qin Changqing knew he wouldn’t have many more of such opportunities.
Each time he broke through a realm, the energy required by the system was obtained through rewards. It was the first time the energy from the outside world proved useful for the system.
Hence, irrespective of the consumption, Qin Changqing commenced bombarding the Immortal Gate.
“So fast!”
The numerous masters were completely astounded.
Because, the Immortal Gate was being blasted open by Qin Changqing with alarming speed.
It was getting wider and wider.
In just a few hours, almost half of the Immortal Gate had been opened.
“How many people can enter now!”
A cultivator at the Combine Body stage was utterly astonished.
If Qin Changqing chose to ascend at this stage, considering the size of the opened Immortal Gate, he could probably bring over a thousand people, if not more, with him.
Qin Changqing, however, did not stop and continued his onslaught.
“Could it be that he wants to blast the Immortal Gate completely open?”
One cultivator speculated.
His conjecture was accurate.
Because, after about ten hours, Qin Changqing had indeed blasted open the Immortal Gate completely.
That is, he opened it to its maximum width.
The intense aura from the Immortal World gushed out, stunning all cultivators, including masters, present.
Qin Changqing had actually blasted the Immortal Gate entirely open!
This scenario was beyond anything they could have fathomed.
Not only them, but all separated immortals and Mahayana cultivators in the Spirit Realm also stared in disbelief.
In the sky, scattered immortal-level demon cultivators were frantically trying to capture the nine-colored light that was emanating from Qin Changqing with remarkable intensity.
However, Qin Changqing’s Golden Armored Divine Soldiers were so formidable that some of them were on par with first turn separated immortals in terms of combat power.
These scattered immortals, separated by the Realm Wall, were no match for the Golden Armored Divine Soldiers.
Thus, Qin Changqing was leisurely bathing in the radiance of the nine-colored light.
Just a few more hours, and this batch of rewards would give Qin Changqing a much higher chance of becoming a ninth turn immortal within ten thousand years.
Soon, those few hours passed.
The Immortal Gate had begun closing.
“Is Senior Qin not entering it?”
“Why isn’t he? With such a wide Immortal Gate, Senior Qin could possibly bring tens of thousands of people in with him!”
Many masters were bewildered, marveling at the Immortal Gate as it kept closing.
Qin Changqing had no intentions of entering.
Not even a member of the Qin family had come forth.
“Perhaps Senior Qin wishes to become a ninth turn immortal!”
A glimmer flickered in Master Dongxuan’s eyes as he declared in a resounding voice.
Ninth Turn Immortal!
These four words made all the masters catch their breaths in realization.
“Senior Qin is indeed Senior Qin. He reached Mahayana Perfection before he was even fifteen hundred years old and now, he wants to become a ninth turn immortal. An extraordinary cultivator like Senior Qin must be very rare even in the Immortal World!”
The master from the Taixu Holy Land, who was at the fourth-tier decline celestial being stage, couldn’t help but exclaim in due course.
At this point, every single master admired Qin Changqing tremendously.
Qin Changqing had fully opened the Immortal Gate but did not enter it, voluntarily dissipating his aura to become a separated immortal with the intent of becoming a ninth turn immortal.
What courage!
What strategy!
In the Spirit Realm, none in history had ever succeeded in becoming a ninth turn immortal!
Yet, Qin Changqing insisted on doing so.
Moreover, before making his choice, Qin Changqing even blasted the Immortal Gate open.
All masters admired such a Qin Changqing.
“Brother Qin is indeed an extraordinary character. Having cultivated for over four hundred thousand years, I have only ever seen such talent like Brother Qin’s!”
In the Spirit Realm, Cultivator He cannot help but comment.
Qin Changqing’s move indeed made many separated immortals and Mahayana cultivators admire him profoundly.
Even the two Mahayana fairies, Caidie and Ziyun, watched in fascination.
“Boom!”
The Immortal Gate finally closed.
Qin Changqing’s figure had also disappeared.
The Immortal Becoming Energy began to be consumed at an alarming rate.
The present Qin Changqing required to complete the transformation from Mahayana to separated immortal.
The process was simple for Qin Changqing and didn’t require him to do much—just entrust it to the system.
He had quietly returned to Crouching Dragon Mountain. Although the process was simple, he would avoid taking action during this period as much as possible.
