Chapter 732: 731: The Million Year Proclamation of the Dao!
The night was tender.
After achieving sainthood, the Flower Fairy was peerlessly enchanting.
Her gaze was hazy.
Qin Changqing led her, ascending one peak after another.
It was only after several years that she finally had some free time.
Now that she had become a Saint, there were still some matters to attend to afterward, especially consolidation, which required quite a bit of time.
Meanwhile, Qin Changqing once again journeyed into the Chaos Sea and met the Ancient Emperor.
“This snake scale… is quite interesting.”
The Ancient Emperor took the snake scale Qin Changqing handed to her and began studying it closely.
Qin Changqing informed her about the existence of the giant serpent, wishing to understand the origins of this great beast.
A serpent of Saint Level, and furthermore, this creature did not sustain its power by constantly devouring worlds like the “Great Terror” did.
How could such a mighty serpent come into existence for no reason?
“We need to go to a place,”
said the Ancient Emperor.
Qin Changqing set off with her.
The destination this time was not near, and it took thousands of years for the two of them to arrive at a site resembling ancient ruins.
This place was too ancient, hardly bearing any intact structures.
There were no traces of any biological activity.
The Ancient Emperor continued deeper inward.
The dark holes in this location were numerous, as if forming an ocean of dark holes.
Space itself became incredibly warped due to the influence of these dark holes.
Even a slightly weaker Immortal would find it difficult to move even an inch here.
For these dark holes themselves were exceedingly troublesome.
The distortion of space created countless paths here.
More complex than the most intricate labyrinth.
One step forward could lead to another place entirely, and turning left or right could lead to completely different destinations in the end.
The Ancient Emperor led Qin Changqing deeper inside…
However, even she often took the wrong turn.
“This place already existed during my era. It has undergone many changes since then.”
The Ancient Emperor continued to lead Qin Changqing further in.
After many years, finally, the two reached a peculiar place.
Here, some translucent flakes remained.
Though they were flakes, they differed from ordinary “flakes.”
Just like the snake scales Qin Changqing had cut from the great serpent, each one was as large as a world.
“Take a look, aren’t these two the same?”
the Ancient Emperor said.
Qin Changqing compared them and indeed found some similarities between the snake scale and the flake.
“In my era, I found a snake skin here, presumably the one the ancient serpent had shed, but now that skin is gone. If my guess is correct, that great serpent you speak of transformed from this snake skin,”
the Ancient Emperor stated.
“Snake skin?”
Qin Changqing looked at her.
“Yes, snake skin. It must have undergone some transformation here, evolving into a Chaos life form. These beings are different from us; they have no emotions, not even consciousness, only instinct. It’s extremely difficult for them to be born.”
The Ancient Emperor’s eyes lingered on the snake scale.
“The transformation of this snake skin into its current form was partly due to my efforts. Consider it an experiment I conducted back then. However, it certainly does not recognize me.”
She added.
Qin Changqing had not expected that this great serpent was connected to the Ancient Emperor.
Not only was it related to the Ancient Emperor, but it was also connected to the ancient serpent from the Ancient Era of her time, a serpent at the Immortal Emperor Level.
Turned out, this being was the transformation of that serpent’s shed skin.
The shed skin of that serpent, capable of undergoing a metamorphosis to grow into a being comparable to a Saint.
Though part of this change was credited to the Ancient Emperor’s contribution, it still emphasized the uniqueness of that serpent.
One could not help but wonder what the ultimate fate of that serpent was.
Though this journey was lengthy, it also deepened Qin Changqing’s understanding of higher-order existences.
“Indeed, it is still here.”
At that moment, the Ancient Emperor retrieved something in another dark cave.
It was something she had left behind long ago.
Despite countless years having passed, it remained safe and sound.
It was just some special materials of sorts.
Other things were very hard to hold onto.
These materials were precious, with some even suitable for forging Imperial Arms.
“This is my Imperial Arms.”
The Ancient Emperor took out a beautifully crafted sword.
This was her former Imperial Arms.
But now, the sword no longer possessed much of its might.
After all, it was an Imperial Arms, and even after an eternity, it still retained some residual power.
These items appeared to have been left here by her, but she never came to retrieve them.
Until now.
In the past, retrieving them would have been of little use to her.
Now, however, since she happened to be here, she came to collect them.
Her journey here had been slow, but her return was much quicker.
Qin Changqing brought her directly back into the world within the Chaos Sea.
Basically, as long as Qin Changqing had visited a place once, and if life existed there, he could instantly return a second time.
The Ancient Emperor resumed her seclusion.
Of course, before going into seclusion, it was inevitable to spend a good number of years with Qin Changqing…
Time went by.
The millionth birthday of Qin Changqing was drawing ever nearer.
After Flowers Celestial Master became a Saint, the Devil Immortal Realm fell completely silent.
Even before, Qin Changqing alone had dominated the entire Devil Immortal Realm with his power, and now, all the Demon Lords were even less daring to harbor any thoughts.
Qin Changqing did not hesitate to take in some beautiful and pure Demon Immortals to have children with.
The number of his children continued to multiply.
In the blink of an eye, another ten thousand years had passed.
“This should be enough.”
One day, Qin Changqing, who had accumulated Dao-comprehension Energy for several hundred thousand years, finally decided to become a Saint.
So, after giving some instructions, he began the process of Becoming a Saint in Divine Continent Heaven.
His path to sainthood was uncomplicated.
He didn’t need to do much himself.
After several hundred thousand years, Qin Changqing had accumulated an enormous amount of Dao-comprehension Energy.
He simply needed to lay down and ascend.
In terms of time, he didn’t need much of it.
Flowers Celestial Master took several thousand years, but for Qin Changqing, a hundred years was more than enough.
Thus, on the System panel, Qin Changqing chose to Become a Saint.
As Qin Changqing made his choice, the Dao-comprehension Energy accumulated over several hundred thousand years began to be consumed wildly.
Subsequently, universal fluctuations at the world’s origin level began to ripple out in all directions within the Immortal World.
“Someone is Becoming a Saint again!”
This immediately alerted numerous powerful entities within the Immortal World.
The Celestial Court Master was the first to notice, and quickly, he appeared outside Divine Continent Heaven.
“It really is him!”
Upon sensing someone was Becoming a Saint, he had guessed it might be Qin Changqing.
Now, this conjecture was confirmed.
Indeed, it was Qin Changqing.
“A million years to Become a Saint!”
After realizing this, the Celestial Court Master took a deep breath.
His eyes were filled with astonishment.
“It’s Immortal Leader Qin Changqing!”
“Immortal Leader Qin Changqing is Becoming a Saint!”
In the Immortal World, news of Qin Changqing’s sainthood spread like wildfire.
