Chapter 331: Chapter 331: Moyun Realm
Translator: 549690339
Although the Spiritual Root is key to cultivation, in a First-grade Immortal Sect, many other aspects are considered.
Such as temperament, mental state, resilience, attitude, comprehension, and so on.
Do not underestimate these. In the long run, they can greatly influence a cultivator.
Especially comprehension and mental state.
Of course, a Tier 3 Spirit Root like the one Qin Changqing currently has combined with his Heavenly Heart Purple Gold Primordial Spirit might cause a little strain, like a little horse pulling a big cart.
But this little horse is at least stronger, not like before when it was an immature pony.
In this way, improving his cultivation level will also increase its power.
Regarding other experiences, they are not exactly tied to the spiritual root.
Recently, Qin Changqing has been primarily increasing his skills in alchemy and artifact refining.
He hasn’t increased his physical cultivation for now, he’s waiting for his bloodline to strengthen further.
He’s also not increased his Array Formation cultivation, which currently totals more than 8000 years.
Qin Changqing plans to continue adding to his Array Formation cultivation after reaching the Late Stage of Cultivating Void, so when he reaches the Integration Period he can start dealing with Immortal Artifact Fragments earnestly.
Before that, Qin Changqing must refine one or two Dao artifacts, especially defensive ones.
Even when he reaches the Integration Period, directly dealing with Immortal Artifact Fragments still poses great danger.
Having a Dao artifact in his hands will make things more secure.
After Qin Changqing’s Spiritual Root was promoted to Tier 3, only four years later, Qin Changqing’s cultivation level reached the Refine Void Second Layer. Now, it’s only been ten years since his breakthrough in refining the void.
A Tier 3 Spirit Root is indeed more powerful.
If it was a Tier 4 Spirit Root, using the same rewards, it might take at least twenty to thirty more years to reach the Refined Void Second Layer. To reach the Third Layer of Refined Void, it will take even longer.
This is assuming that there are no bottlenecks.
After Qin Changqing reached the second layer of Refining Void, another piece of good news came.
After nearly thirty years in seclusion, Youyue was finally able to have her breakthrough in Refining Void.
Combined with the Heavenly Demons she plundered, plus Qin Changqing,
Youyue’s cultivation seems to have gone up a notch.
However, she can’t have her breakthrough in the North Region.
There are too many cultivators in the other realms of the North Region now, her breakthrough here is very likely to raise suspicion.
This is different from when she had her breakthrough to the Deifying stage.
Qin Changqing had known this for a long time.
And he was already prepared.
“Tian Tian, you’re in charge while I’m away. If enemies attack, inform the Peak Master,” Qin Changqing said to Tian Tian.
Tian Tian is currently the highest-ranking human female among Qin Changqing’s bodyguards.
She’s at the Mid-stage Spirit Transformation. Bai Ling is stronger than her, but Bai Ling is usually in the North Sea.
Youyue is now on the verge of having her breakthrough in Refining Void at any time.
So this time, Qin Changqing won’t be away with Youyue for too long, at most a few months.
It’s quite timely that Master Butterfly Cloud came. With her here, even if that woman from the Head’s Family tries to send people here during this period, there would be no worries.
“Understood, my husband-” Tian Tian said.
After making arrangements, Qin Changqing came to the cave mansion where Youyue was in seclusion. Youyue didn’t open her eyes, she sent a message then sealed off the surroundings to avoid disturbances.
Her current state is one that cannot be disturbed.
Qin Changqing put up a Prohibition Formation and brought out a special magical treasure, putting Youyue and the nearby Prohibition Formation inside. Then, with her in tow, he left the Qin Mansion and flew southeast.
He needs to find a safe place for Youyue to have her breakthrough in Refining Void.
This time, Qin Changqing’s speed was much faster.
Last time, it took him over a month to reach the secret island of Youyue, this time it took less than two days.
When one’s strength is greater, roads that were once distant become closer.
However, this isn’t the final destination this time.
This area seems to be the territory of the Eastern Sea Tribe. Youyue’s breakthrough into cultivating the void caused a large disturbance, and the ensuing thunder was even bigger. Naturally, we can’t stay here.
Qin Changqing continued heading southeast. After a few more days of flying, changes finally appeared ahead.
The sea ahead seemed to have a fault line.
It was as if he had arrived at the end of the sea. As Qin Changqing flew over the fault line, he saw the seawater furiously pouring down into an unknown place.
Further ahead was a grey, hazy landscape.
“Boundary.”
Qin Changqing muttered softly.
This was the boundary of the Vast Wave Realm.
The Vast Wave Realm was so massive that it was infinite to mortals.
Even for cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage, it was still overwhelmingly vast.
That said, the Vast Wave Realm wasn’t really infinite; it naturally had a boundary.
“It should be here.”
Qin Changqing took out an artifact that could sense directions. After carefully scrutinizing for a while, he soon confirmed the location.
You can’t trespass at the boundary casually, but the Vast Wave Realm has no sacred land, so it has no way of monitoring the boundary closely.
There are too many passageways in and out of the boundary.
Unlike the realms that have sacred lands, those realms, or domains, have a limited number of entrance passageways.
This fact also proves the power and profound foundation of sacred lands.
It’s also because of the power of sacred lands that their disciples are so arrogant. A mere Nascent Soul cultivator from the Questioning Heaven Academy disdains a First-grade Immortal Sect.
It’s not easy to find these passageways either.
But Youyue gave Qin Changqing a way to find them.
After finding the passageway, Qin Changqing barged in.
Inside the passageway, it was all grey and hazy, as if it was enveloped in a foggy area stretching for miles on end.
Soon, Qin Changqing burst out of this area.
As soon as he emerged, another sea appeared in front of him, but this sea was not vast, it only took a few hours to fly across.
Beyond that was an endless land.
The concentration of spiritual qi here was not high, and the peripheral areas were no better than the Tianchuan State before.
However, the further one gets into the central area, the richer the spiritual qi becomes.
This is where Youyue came from, it’s also the area where the Demon Palace and many devil sects are located.
The distance from the Vast Wave Realm was also quite far. When Youyue was at the Nascent Soul stage, it took her more than a year to get to the Tianchuan State.
Now that Qin Changqing has reached the stage of cultivating the void, he can get here quicker.
This is a chaotic domain, formerly named the Heiyun Realm, because there were vast patches of black soil here, and large black clouds always gathered in the sky, making it gloomy.
The name has now been changed to the Moyun Realm, because it contains a large number of devil sects.
To the former Qin Changqing, the strength of these devil sects would have been very formidable.
Now though, they’re just average.
According to Youyue, this realm is close to another realm occupied by the sacred land of the devil sects.
It is sort of an extension of that realm.
Because there’s a lot of black soil here, wild creatures and poisonous animals are not uncommon, plus the sky is always cloudy, rarely showing the sun. Thus, the number of immortal sects willing to develop here is small.
Consequently, this place has become a paradise for demon cultivators, with a large number of devil sects existing here.
As for mortals, there are some. Quite a few devil sects also understand the principle of sustainable development and have controlled some worldly kingdoms.
This place isn’t without strong immortal sects trying to clean up, but the devil sects here are quite scattered and very cunning.
Immortal sects of Third Grade or below come here to die. When the strong ones come, these devil sects quickly hide away..
