As time progressed, many cultivators, after many years of seclusion, came to know of Qin Changqing’s renown once again upon exiting isolation.
The number of female cultivators wanting to marry Qin Changqing did not decrease in the slightest.
From time to time, Qin Changqing would take one or two concubines, then spend some time perfecting his own techniques.
Especially within the realm of magical techniques.
Qin Changqing’s fighting ability was indeed the strongest of his peers, but the techniques he knew were not particularly numerous.
His current battles mainly relied on absolute suppression due to his invincible strength on the same level, as well as the sharpness of his Magical Treasures and precious items.
Still, Qin Changqing’s methods were somewhat singular.
Generally, after reaching the Combine Body stage, cultivators would constantly increase their methods.
Qin Changqing was also prepared to perfect his trump cards.
These included preserving his own life, techniques to escape during a battle, general combat strategies, as well as techniques that could turn the tables when facing a more powerful existence.
As for Qin Changqing’s fourth decline, he had already attracted it when he was in the Spirit Realm.
But he did not increase its strength, instead, leading it at its normal intensity.
Time did not shorten either.
Under normal intensity, the time to endure the fourth decline was also 10,000 years.
With this intensity, given Qin Changqing’s strength, as long as he was willing to endure for 10,000 years, he could cross it on his own.
The number of descendants of the Qin family was getting closer and closer to the 20 million mark.
Once the grand reward arrived, Qin Changqing could increase the intensity and shorten the time, allowing the fourth decline to be over in a century or even less.
The fourth decline was still somewhat frightening, being a Soul Decline.
That is, a decline on the soul level.
Compared to the previous three declines, the power of this one had multiplied several times.
Moreover, soul-level decline directly targets your soul, and if you don’t resist well, you will face physical and spiritual destruction.
Therefore, this decline is extremely dangerous.
But once it was over, your Divine Soul would also be strengthened several times.
Inaugurated before the big award arrived, Tao Yao left the confinement.
Qin Changqing took a look, only over a hundred years had passed, and Tao Yao had already reached the late stage of refining void, not far from the peak of Refining Void Stage.
The time for her to reach the Combine Body wouldn’t be too long.
After reaching the stage of refining void, Tao Yao’s growth actually accelerated.
Of course, she principally had a threefold speed-up in growth, which, in effect, was no less than a four to five times increase for Tao Yao.
Because she didn’t have to comprehend the Heavenly and Earthly Rules like other cultivators, or cultivate her mind and character to avoid instability due to rapid growth and the emergence of the Heart Devil.
She also had no bottleneck whatsoever.
There was only one thing Tao Yao needed to do.
And that was to continuously increase and refine her True Origin.
She didn’t have to bother with anything else.
That’s why Tao Yao’s growth was so fast.
“My Lord”
As soon as she made eye contact with Tao Yao, Qin Changqing knew that she had come out of her seclusion intentionally to be with him.
Tao Yao was growing too quickly, and over the past hundred or so years, she probably had merged numerous memories from past lives.
A hundred years or more was really not a short time.
When Tao Yao was first seen, her aura had a sense of strangeness to it.
This was brought on by the merging of her past life’s memories.
That’s why Tao Yao took the initiative to come out of seclusion.
Qin Changqing gently held her.
After going through several romantic nights, the familiar Tao Yao returned in front of Qin Changqing.
However, she only returned in front of Qin Changqing.
If it were someone who had seen her before, upon seeing her again, they would find out she was completely like a different person.
“Tao Yao, a few years ago, I went to the Spirit Realm…”
In the leisure time of some activities, Qin Changqing, holding Tao Yao, spoke of the Seperated Immortal he encountered on his journey in the Spirit Realm.
“My Lord, when that Seperated Immortal gave you the skill, were there any restrictions, not verbal restrictions, but like once you teach the skill to others it would disappear from memory?” Tao Yao asked.
Qin Changqing shook his head: “No.”
Tao Yao said, “Immortal skills usually have such restrictions. To bypass these restrictions, you can only crack them. In my past life, I cracked some immortal skills and compiled them into an Immortal Arts Handbook. But I can’t remember much of that now. My lord, this is for you first, see if you can use any of it.”
While speaking, Tao Yao placed her forehead against Qin Changqing’s, transferring the Immortal Arts Handbook she had compiled in her previous life to him through this contact.
Qin Changqing didn’t rush to read the contents of the Immortal Arts Handbook, but rather, he shared the skill from that Seperated Immortal with Tao Yao.
The other party only said verbally that it shouldn’t be passed on to others until he cultivated to the fifth-tier: but there were no other restrictions.
This skill could indeed be passed on.
Tao Yao received it and began to study it closely.
Although her current realm had just reached the late stage of refining void, in her previous life, she was a powerful figure among the immortals, and she held a remarkable perspective.
This point could be seen from her ability to decipher other people’s immortal skills.
Seeing that Tao Yao had started her study, Qin Changqing also began to examine the immortal arts she had given him.
Inside, there were two immortal arts.
These were real Immortal Techniques, equivalent to magical techniques, but just for the immortals to attack.
Like the Great Dream Recording Skill that Qin Changqing received before, its function was not primarily to attack. freewebnoveℓ.com
The Great Dream Recording Skill is a type of Immortal Skill similar to a cultivation method.
The two Immortal Techniques had somewhat interesting names.
One of them was called, “Sow Beans into Soldiers”.
Another one had an even more interesting name, “Immortal’s Guide”.
“Sow Beans into Soldiers” was easy to understand. It was all about sowing beans that could transform into soldiers.
Actually, with Qin Changqing’s current strength, he could do something similar.
But even if he could, there’s no sense in it at his current level of combat.
Maybe it could be used to crush weaker opponents, but there were better things to crush with, like just slapping with a hand to kill a large number in one go.
There was no need to be so flamboyant.
But this Immortal Technique was different.
Once this Immortal Technique was used, it could make Qin Changqing more capable of fighting on his present level, and even allow him to challenge those higher than his level.
Leave alone challenging higher levels, at the very least, it could allow Qin Changqing to decimate those on his level in a more relaxed and simple way.
Qin Changqing’s methods were indeed somewhat singular. When facing the Xuan Serpent, Qin Changqing was able to suppress and beat it, but it took several months to kill it in the end.
Above the Combine Body stage, the difficulty of killing instantly is huge.
This isn’t a matter of combat capabilities, but rather a characteristic of the Combine Body stage itself.
A Combine Body that is very strong and, in essence, possesses an instant transfer without cooldown, and is primarily seeking to escape, is naturally hard to kill unless it falls into your trap.
The Xuan Serpent was far above the normal Combine Body.
Of course, with Qin Changqing’s current strength, dealing with ordinary Combine Bodies is even simpler now.
By means of a terrifying Divine Sense, compressing a Combine Body’s Divine Sense space, as long as a Combine Body’s Divine Sense can’t expand at all, the subject can’t escape.
However, with Qin Changqing’s present strength … ordinary Combine Bodies wouldn’t provoke Qin Changqing.
As soon as Qin Changqing appears, hostile Combine Bodies will hide as far as possible in advance, offering no opportunity for Qin Changqing to get close or to fight.
