Chapter 694: Chapter 694: Direct to the Saint, Ascend to Heaven in a Single Step!
Ten years later, finally, there was a sparkle in the girl’s eyes.

Then, the sparkle kept increasing.

Her memory should be returning.

And then, she saw Qin Changqing.

Qin Changqing revealed a smile, “Have you awakened?”

His smile made the girl feel deeply affectionate.

“How long… how long have I slept?”

She spoke, her voice sounded somewhat hoarse and strange.

That was a normal reaction after sleeping for too long.

“I’m not sure, it must have been many years,”

said Qin Changqing.

The girl remained silent, more memories must be returning.

A few more years passed, and she seemed to have finally recovered completely.

“Thank you.”

Then, the girl stood up, placed her hands over her chest, and bowed to Qin Changqing.

“No need to be polite. This is the Immortal World; you are safe now. You can cultivate here with peace of mind,”

said Qin Changqing.

“The Immortal World?”

Confusion shone in the girl’s eyes.

“Come, let me show you.”

With a thought, Qin Changqing brought the girl to a high place in Divine Continent Heaven.

Looking down from there, the entirety of the Immortal World could be seen.

The ten Heavy Heavens of the Immortal World were not simply stacked on top of each other.

Looking upward from any Heavy Heaven, one could also see the sun and the moon.

And what was seen was not an illusion, but the true sun and moon.

This involved very complex spatial rules.

The girl’s gaze wandered across the vast expanse of the Immortal World.

She also felt the overwhelmingly abundant elemental energy of heaven and earth of the Immortal World.

This was a world many times more powerful than hers.

She looked up once more, toward the high skies.

With her current strength, she naturally couldn’t see too far.

Nor could she see beyond the Immortal World.

“I remember now, them… they…”

At that moment, the girl seemed to recall something, and a look of fear appeared in her eyes.

“Don’t worry, those who destroyed your world wouldn’t dare to come here,” Qin Changqing said softly.

With the Immortal World’s current strength, even without a Great Dao Saint,

an ordinary “Great Terror” wouldn’t dare approach.

Although a “Great Terror” was once an existence on par with a Great Dao Saint or an Immortal Emperor, after their times had ended and even if they had managed to survive, undergoing the vicissitudes of the eras, they were not highly advantaged against a Saint.

Indeed, a Saint’s combat power within the Immortal World was even more fearsome.

Even a Heavenly Dao Saint, harnessing the power of the entire world within the Immortal World, could unleash combat strength infinitely close to that of an Immortal Emperor.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t even be a lid above the Immortal World, and one could sense the presence of the Immortal World from deep within Outer Heaven Realm.

If a “Great Terror” wanted to come, they would have come long ago.

His words comforted the girl’s heart, and she settled down.

Then, Qin Changqing learned her name.

She was called Lan Ling.

Qin Changqing had her stay in Divine Continent Heaven, simply giving her a mountain peak and assigning numerous maids to take care of her.

Many of these maids were recruited from the Lower Immortal Realm and were basically cultivators.

In the Immortal World, the status of ordinary cultivators was not much different from that of mortals in Ling Yu (Spirit Domain).

Having settled the girl, Qin Changqing also observed her for a prolonged period.

Her cultivation technique differed considerably from those in the Immortal World, but the Immortal World was actually very accommodating.

Some Spirit Domains that followed the Martial Dao even carved out their unique paths, such as Martial Dao Foundation Establishment and Martial Dao Golden Elixir.

Ultimately, they could also become immortal.

Regardless of the type of power, as long as it grew under the laws of the Immortal World, the end result was the same.

The Devil Immortal Realm in truth isn’t all that different—a case of different paths leading to the same destination.

But the problem lies in the fact that Demon Immortals are without taboo, and while there are some who follow rules and order, the majority are few.

Many Demon Immortals are accustomed to taking shortcuts, and if left to their own devices in the Immortal World, it is uncertain what chaos they would bring.

Where there is light, there must also be darkness.

However, under the bright sunshine, darkness cannot stand.

Light and darkness are, after all, distinct from one another.

Yet, even with the blazing sun high above, it cannot completely eliminate shadows, such as the fact that no matter how big the sun is, there will be shadows and dark places.

However, the girl did not practice cultivation, but instead began to study some of the cultivation techniques of the Immortal World.

She must be trying to adapt to this world.

“If you need it, I can take you to the Spirit Domain, and as soon as you ascend, you’ll fully integrate into this world.”

One day, Qin Changqing said to her.

“Okay, thank you.”

The girl said softly.

Qin Changqing took her to the Outer Heaven Realm and then sneaked to the outskirts of the Devil Immortal Realm.

He entrusted Hua Feiyan to take her to the Blue Realm.

Qin Changqing had used this smuggling method quite a few times already.

His descendants could be sent down before reaching Combine Body.

Now, to provide resources to the descendants of the Azure Blue Tower, Qin Changqing could do so through dream consciousness.

After making arrangements for the girl, Qin Changqing began to use the materials he had found in that world to refine artifacts and to research the various secret techniques of that world.

From time to time, Qin Changqing would still send things to the Ancient Emperor.

Most times, the Ancient Emperor was in closed-door cultivation.

In the blink of an eye, several thousand years had passed.

After these thousands of years, Qin Changqing finally reached the state of Perfection in the Great Luo.

“Is it actually going to be a direct ascension to sainthood?”

Upon reaching Great Luo Perfection, Qin Changqing saw that the upgrade plan given in the system was actually direct ascension to sainthood!

“My goodness!”

This leap seemed a bit large.

But on second thought, it also seemed quite normal.

Because above Great Luo lies the realm of Saints.

Semi-Saint, Quasi-Saint, they’re all “Saints”.

However, the gap between Great Luo and Saint is too vast; it cannot be bridged in one step.

None of the Great Luo can become a Saint directly.

One must take it step by step.

Not to mention, just taking it step by step is already incredibly perilous.

Who could possibly become a Saint from Great Luo in just one go?

An impossible feat.

But with the system, as long as Qin Changqing accumulates enough Dao-comprehension Energy, he could reach the level of Saint directly.

The amount of Dao-comprehension Energy required is extraordinarily huge.

It could be said that if Qin Changqing has enough Dao-comprehension Energy now, he could take the express train straight to sainthood!

Direct to sainthood, a leap to the heavens!

Of course, Dao-comprehension Energy needs to be continuously accumulated.

In the process of accumulation, Qin Changqing does not need to wait until the end to use it all in one go.

Even with sufficient Dao-comprehension Energy, Qin Changqing still needs to break it down into several stages.

First, he must push open the gate to sainthood, then step through, and finally become a Saint in one fell swoop.

That is to say.

In this process, Qin Changqing can still first become a Semi-Saint, then a Quasi-Saint, and finally a Saint.

After all, Qin Changqing cannot produce the energy for Dao-comprehension of a Saint all at once.

For Qin Changqing at this time, it is merely a matter of time.

Time, huh.

Qin Changqing has plenty of it.

If a hundred thousand years aren’t enough, then a few hundred thousand, a million, or even several million years will suffice.

After all, what sets him apart from others is that no matter how long it takes, he will eventually break through.
