Chapter 361 - 361: Heartbeat
With these two waves of big merit rewards, added to the cultivation he gained in between, even after Qin Changqing reached the peak of the Void Refining stage and encountered a bottleneck, he should still be able to push through to the completion of Void Refining.
In the Void Refining stage, he encountered a total of three bottlenecks, one large and two small.
But they were still manageable.
Even if Qin Changqing had to break through on his own, a little time would be enough to handle it.
This bottleneck is not as terrifying and difficult as the bottleneck faced by Master Butterfly Cloud.
Of course, this is for Qin Changqing. If it were someone else, the bottleneck would consume a long time for them as well.
“Integration Period is in sight.”
Qin Changqing showed anticipation.
According to this pace, it wouldn’t take many years to reach the Integration Period.
For him, one could say that the Integration Period was just around the corner.
One year after Qin Changqing reached the peak of Void Refining, another good news came.
It was that Bai Ling was about to attempt to reach the Void Refining stage.
When Bai Ling was trapped in the Immortal Sect Ruins, her realm was at the God Transformation Sixth Level.
Now, it has been two hundred and eighty-seven years since she was released by Qin Changqing.
With the passage of such a long time and her benefiting from the system’s enhancement, Bai Ling was growing rapidly.
Qin Changqing personally rushed to the North Sea to protect her.
Above an undersea mountain range, Bai Ling began her breakthrough attempt.
Many people from the Sea Clan in the North Sea came to protect her.
“I didn’t expect her to be faster than all of us.”
MO Qi felt somewhat sighful.
He was still at the Nascent Soul Peak, but Bai Ling was about to reach the Void Refining stage.
In fact, in a few more years.
MO Lin would surpass him as well.
This time, there were no major surprises.
A few months later, Bai Ling successfully broke through to the Void
Refinement Stage. In the Sea Clan’s division, she was now at the sixth rank.
“Finally, our North Sea has a Sixth Rank Clan member!”
All the strong members of the North Sea Hai Clan felt invigorated.
The North Sea Hai Clan had been in decline for so many years, and there had been no cultivators in the Void Refining stage until now.
Today, a Void Refining expert was finally born.
As a result, the power of the North Sea Hai Clan took a big step forward.
“Wow, mom is so amazing-”
Qin Linger was overjoyed.
After Bai Ling broke through to the Void Refining stage, her temperament became even more gorgeous.
She came to the surface of the sea and welcomed the Tribulation Thunder.
Sea Clans also faced tribulation thunder after breaking through, but not in the sea. In the sea, the tribulation thunder would take on a more terrifying form, causing harm to the creatures of the ocean.
Of course, this tribulation thunder was not a challenge for her.
Qin Changqing also casually created a Purple Cloud Divine Thunder. This now had average power for him and could protect the children from danger.
“Bai Ling-
As night fell, Qin Changqing once again tasted the exquisite charm of the mermaid girl.
MO Lin was also approaching the Void Refining stage, and she was in seclusion recently trying to make a breakthrough to the Void Refining stage. However, a year later, Qin Changqing received a message from MO Qi.
MO Lin encountered a problem.
The problem seemed similar to a bottleneck but with some differences.
The cultivation of the Sea Clan couldn’t always be smooth sailing.
In fact, it was even more challenging for the Sea Clans to break through to the equivalent of cultivators’ Integration Period.
So, even at the North Sea Hai Clan’s peak tens of thousands of years ago, there were no cultivators at the Integration Period level.
Qin Changqing came to the North Sea immediately and, after some careful research, refined several elixirs for MO Lin.
“MO Lin, take one pill per year. Don’t worry.”
Qin Changqing gently touched MO Lin’s head and said.
MO Lin was deeply touched and gently embraced Qin Changqing.
It was rare for her to be so proactive. Qin Changqing held her like that for quite some time.
After nightfall, Qin Changqing held the petite MO Lin, chatting and watching the moon while…
The sea water gently rippled.
Ten days later, Qin Changqing left the North Sea.
Soon after returning to Qin Mansion, he made a new discovery.
Tao Yao had experienced some new changes recently.
She would occasionally space out.
Before, she would sometimes space out when thinking about Qin Changqing, wearing a faint smile.
This time, however, it seemed different.
When she spaced out, she truly lost focus.
“Could it be that Tao Yao is awakening her memory?” Qin Changqing wondered. “Tao Yao, have you remembered anything?” Qin Changqing gently hugged her and asked.
Feeling the warmth from Qin Changqing’s chest, Tao Yao shook her head: “No.”
“Then why do you keep spacing out?”
Qin Changqing asked again.
A hint of confusion appeared in Tao Yao’s eyes: “Husband, do I always space
Qin Changqing nodded: “Mhm.”
“I don’t know why. Husband, am I sick?” Tao Yao was somewhat worried.
She wondered if she had contracted some strange disease.
How distressing it would be if she could no longer stay by Qin Changqing’s side.
Qin Changqing, smelling her hair, said, “Silly girl, how can you be sick?”
Tao Yao felt relieved.
To comfort her, Qin Changqing spent that night talking with her.
He also listened to her stories from her childhood.
Tao Yao’s childhood experiences were rather simple.
She grew up around Luo City, always hearing stories about Qin Changqing.
Her favorite thing to look at was a picture book filled with images of Qin Changqing, painted exquisitely.
These picture books, full of illustrations and texts, were similar to the old-fashioned comic books from before Qin Changqing’s crossing. Yet, they were even more exquisite and created with more care.
These books contained stories related to Qin Changqing.
Tao Yao’s parents were wealthy merchants from around Luo City who were very grateful to Qin Changqing.
Her parents were the ones who specialized in creating these picture books. Thus, Tao Yao’s childhood was more comfortable than others’, making her a wealthy lady.
At that time. as a little girl, she would look at the handsome and radiant “immortal” Qin Changqing in the picture book and often think about how wonderful it would be to become the wife of an immortal when she grew up.
Additionally, her parents had been instilling the stories of Qin Changqing in her and looking to marry her to Qin Changqing from a young age. That’s why Tao Yao had admired Qin Changqing since she was little.
This was also the reason why she was infatuated with Qin Changqing at the very first sight of him.
In fact, it wasn’t love at first sight, but rather, she recognized him at first glance.
That night, Qin Changqing stayed with Tao Yao the entire time.
They did not do anything else.
Tao Yao’s changes made Qin Changqing pay even more attention to her.
As time went on, Qin Changqing found that Tao Yao’s moments of spacing out became more frequent.
Sometimes, Tao Yao would suddenly space out while doing things.
Qin Changqing carefully inspected her body and divine soul, but there weren’t any issues.
Her bone age remained locked at 18 years old.
This led Qin Changqing to believe that if Tao Yao was truly a reincarnated immortal, then she might be awakening her memories now.
Other reincarnated immortals only had 12 years to awaken their memories.
If they couldn’t do it within that time frame, everything would be lost.
Even if a genius was reincarnated and became an immortal again, it would have nothing to do with the immortal who reincarnated.
For that genius, the reincarnated immortal would be equivalent to a previous life.
Though there was still some connection,
strictly speaking, the person’s previous life and their current self were two different individuals.
If someone’s previous life was a pig, would they still be a pig now?
