Chapter 364 - 364: The Grand Lantern Festival
“Princess Longhan, if you can’t survive the Big Heavenly Tribulation, can you find a way to sleep deeply?”
Qin Changqing asked.
“Sleep deeply?”
Long Han hesitated for a few seconds, then said: “It was possible in the past, but not now. We have run out of the things that allow us to sleep deeply, and we don’t have enough good things to exchange with the Holy Land, so my sister can only risk her life.”
Qin Changqing understood.
As expected, only the Holy Land can obtain methods to seal Heavenly secrets, enable cultivators to feign death by sleeping deeply, lock aging, and avoid the Big Heavenly Tribulation.
The Holy Land can also lock age, but with one prerequisite – the cultivator must enter a state of feigned death and deep sleep.
As for Tao Yao who is seen frolicking about on the outside still as a mortal, it’s impossible for the Holy Land to achieve that.
They then arrived at the West Sea.
And then arrived at the Holy Land of the White Dragon Clan in the West Sea.
White Dragon Mountain.
This is a mountain located at the seabed, equivalent to the gathering place of undersea spiritual veins.
Although the West Sea is not as vast as the North Sea, it is extremely deep, with White Dragon Mountain reaching tens of thousands of feet high.
White Dragon Mountain is also quite far from the sea surface.
Living at the bottom of the sea, the water pressure alone is extremely horrifying.
The more powerful the White Dragon Clan members, the lower they reside.
If cultivators were to enter and battle here, the repression they would face would greatly reduce their strength alone.
Not to mention the water pressure, even the Establishing Foundation Stage Cultivators would not be able to descend.
Golden Elixir cultivators can descend, but the repression would be too great, and they would not be able to defeat even one Foundation Establishment Sea
Clan member.
Long Han’s sister was at the very bottom of White Dragon Mountain.
The Sea Boat went all the way in there and arrived at an extremely grand palace plaza.
This area was already devoid of water.
“Mr. Qin Changqing, wait for me- I’
After saying this, Long Han entered the palace.
“Sister.”
In the exquisitely decorated palace, a Sea Clan woman with a similar appearance and an exceptionally high beauty index to Long Han sat on a magnificent throne.
This woman was holding a golden book in her hand. and she was browsing it.
Hearing Long Han’s words, the woman raised her head: “Long Han, have you found a suitable person?”
Long Han nodded: “I have found someone whom I think is very suitable, but in the end, it’s up to you, sister. Sister, do you want to hear his story?”
“Alright, tell me about it.”
The woman, who was the West Sea Queen Long Kui, said.
So, Long Han began to talk about what she knew about Qin Changqing’s story.
These things were mainly what she had learned from Bai Ling in the North Sea.
She had also heard some of Qin Changqing’s deeds in Central State before, including Qin Changqing’s fondness for taking concubines and marrying many Sea Clan women in the North Sea.
However, Long Han didn’t know that it was Bai Ling, since when she saw Bai Ling, Bai Ling had already reached Void Refinement.
When Qin Changqing married Liu Xiaowan, Long Han even sent a congratulatory gift as Liu Xiaowan was the leader of the Ten Thousand Beast
Sect.
Long Han had always been in charge of the Western Sea Tribe.
Long Han emphasized on Qin Changqing’s monstrous talent, his rapid growth, and the powerful bloodline of his children with Bai Ling and MO Lin.
Predictably, her sister Long Kui became quite interested.
“Sister, shall I bring him in?”
“Mm.”
Long Han went out.
Soon, she brought Qin Changqing in.
Long Kui, sitting on the throne, raised her head to look at Qin Changqing.
Qin Changqing’s exceptionally high attractiveness and handsome appearance left a good first impression on Long Kui.
Then, it was Qin Changqing’s temperament that made Long Kui’s gaze linger on him involuntarily.
This was the first time she had looked at a man so seriously.
As she looked, Long Kui’s gaze suddenly became somewhat unnatural. Not knowing what she was thinking, she looked away.
Seeing her sister’s expression, Long Han suddenly felt hopeful.
“Sister, you two chat.”
After saying that, Long Han left.
“Huh?”
The West Sea Queen, Long Kui, watched Long Han leave and suddenly felt at a loss.
What should she say?
Originally, she planned to find a suitable person and have offspring. However, she was not prepared to settle for less. If she couldn’t find, she wouldn’t bother looking.
Long Han had searched for several years but had failed to find anyone.
As Qin Changqing arrived, Long Han left, leaving Long Kui unsure of what to say. Was she supposed to directly mention that she wanted to have children with Qin Changqing?
She was embarrassed.
For her, being embarrassed also meant that she was interested.
Otherwise, as the West Sea Queen, how could she not handle such a situation?
Even the most noble women, once they fall for a man, will show a side of themselves that they’ve never revealed before in front of him.
“Your Majesty, I heard that there will be a grand lantern festival in Central State soon, and many cultivators from the Canglan Realm will attend. If you’re willing, we could go together. What do you think?”
After noticing the subtle change in Long Kui’s expression, Qin Changqing extended an invitation.
In some cases, it’s also appropriate to take the initiative to advance.
Qin Changqing’s approach lightened up Long Kui’s mood. Hearing about the lantern festival, she thought about it and said, “Alright, I was planning to visit the land anyway.” so.
That day, Qin Changqing brought Long Kui to Central State.
On the way, he did not speak much.
Or rather, he was not like some smooth-tongued people who intentionally tried to ingratiate themselves.
When passing over West boundary, they encountered some unusual scenery or natural landscapes. When Long Kui showed a curious look in her eyes, Qin Changqing would briefly introduce them.
Thus, they arrived in Central State.
Central State was indeed hosting a large-scale lantern festival. This was jointly organized by the Guiyuan Sect and several second-grade immortal sects, targeting all cultivators.
Such a lantern festival occurred once every hundred years, somewhat similar to the Ascension Conference in the North Region.
Every lantern festival, each immortal sect would select some outstanding cultivators.
Many geniuses who had left the North Region had entered the immortal sects of other regions through such festivals.
The lantern festival was incredibly lively.
Long Kui wore a veil on her face, and also used a technique to hide the small horns on her forehead, avoiding attracting too much attention.
Qin Changqing also cast a small spell on Bai, so that others would not recognize him, otherwise, they would have been surrounded by unknown cultivators during their entire trip.
“There are so many people. It’s never this lively in the sea.”
Long Kui found everything extremely novel, even tasting the cultivator-made candied haws.
They were made of a type of spiritual grass, which not only tasted good but also had some effects.
Qin Changqing led Long Kui around the lantern festival, stopping and looking around.
Their number of conversation topics also gradually increased.
“Hey, Qing, what’s going on over there?”
Long Kui asked curiously.
Qin Changqing looked over and saw a tall building where a poetry conference was being held.
Among cultivators, some also liked poetry.
After all, the first step for cultivators is recognizing characters and space.
Many cultivators also like to cultivate their minds through reading and studying.
“Let’s go take a look-”
Long Fei had never seen this before..
