Chapter 640: 640: Is this a market?_1
This girl had a second-tier spirit root. Her spiritual root wasn’t outstanding, and it had taken her ten thousand years to become an immortal.
Of course, for someone with a second-tier spirit root, becoming immortal was already extremely remarkable.
Even though the girl had become immortal, she still clung to Qin Changqing so affectionately.
This scene was particularly heartwarming.
This time, only a few months had passed, and yet another one of Qin Changqing’s descendants had ascended.
Within a year, two had ascended.
Then, like a runaway cart, the frequency of ascensions became even more frequent.
In just a short span of ten years, more than ten of Qin Changqing’s descendants had ascended.
Compared to the previous rate of one every decade or century, this was much more frequent.
Moreover, this frequency continued to hold steady.
Sometimes, two could ascend in just one month.
You have to understand, Qin Changqing had several thousand descendants with first-grade spiritual roots.
At a rate of one ascension per year, it would take several thousand years.
Since these descendants were born at different times, there was a staggered pattern of ascension.
As for descendants with a Heavenly Spirit Root, there were even more.
Theoretically, all with a Heavenly Spirit Root had the potential to become immortal.
That was a possibility.
If it was a Third Grade Spirit Root, combining all the cultivators from all the spirit domains, it might be possible for a few of them to appear every hundred thousand years.
These few would often amount to only two or three, not seven or eight.
For those with a Third Grade Spirit Root to ascend, they needed comprehension, opportunity, the right timing, geographical advantages, and many other factors.
In the prosperous Great Spiritual Realm, there were still quite a few, so eventually, some lucky ones would emerge.
The odds for the second-tier spirit roots were slightly better.
Like the last time at Ten Thousand Immortals Island, within a hundred thousand years amongst the nearly ten thousand immortals born in all the spirit domains, those with second-tier spirit roots still numbered in the double digits.
But it would definitely not exceed three digits, and even this double-digit number had to be on the lower end.
In any case, it was extremely difficult.
But in Qin Changqing’s household, with the system’s bonus, even descendants with a Third Grade Spirit Root had the possibility of ascension, as long as they worked hard enough themselves.
It just required a bit more time, that’s all.
Qin Changqing did not gamble, so he brought all his descendants with a Third Grade Spirit Root to the Immortal World.
With innate limitations due to their Third Grade Spirit Roots, Qin Changqing did not expect these descendants to reach very high levels. It was good enough if they could become immortal.
As for descendants with the second tier spirit root, Qin Changqing left almost all of them in the Blue Realm unless they had particularly poor comprehension.
Now, these descendants had begun ascending continuously.
Near the Ascension Pool in Xuanyuan Immortal City, the area became bustling once again.
The cultivators watching the excitement here were mostly the same ones from thousands of years ago when Qin Changqing ascended.
Cultivation in the Immortal World was easier, and as long as one’s spiritual root wasn’t too poor, reaching the Deifying stage was relatively straightforward.
For most cultivators in the Immortal World, the bottleneck often occurred during the Void Refinement Unity stage.
Even though they lacked the temperament and tempering of the cultivators from the lower realm, they could still force their way through some of the early bottlenecks with the aid of Heavenly and Earthly Treasures from the Immortal World.
But after reaching Void Refinement Unity, it wasn’t so easy to just push through.
Passing through Tribulation was particularly terrifying for Immortal World cultivators.
Even with the same realm, their lifespans were longer than those of lower realm cultivators.
For example, a Nascent Soul from the Immortal World, even if not as powerful as one from the lower realm, could live up to four or five thousand years.
Unfortunately, this is the Immortal World.
Here, even a mortal without any cultivation could live for hundreds of years. So, most of these Immortal World cultivators were still those from a few thousand years ago.
“Here they come again.”
“Three have ascended this year.”
“Are they all from the Blue Realm?”
“`
“Hmm, they all come from the Blue Realm. In the last thousand years, there has only been one Immortal ascending from other Spirit Domains.”
By the Ascension Pool, as another descendant of Qin Changqing ascended, many cultivators from the Immortal World began to discuss anew.
More and more cultivators were gathering here.
Originally, after Qin Changqing ascended, there weren’t so many cultivators around.
But in these recent few centuries, Qin Changqing’s descendants had been ascending one after another.
This directly caused a large number of cultivators to flock here.
Some cultivators, anyway, were stuck at bottlenecks, so they just waited there.
The frequent ascensions of Qin Changqing’s descendants indeed brought many benefits to the cultivators here.
Many cultivators broke through their realms, and their progress soared rapidly.
Therefore, this Ascension Pool has attracted a large number of Immortal World cultivators.
Even some cultivators came from other Immortal Cities.
The Immortal World is vast, and the distance between each of the ten major Immortal Cities is incredibly vast.
Even for those in the Mahayana Stage, if they don’t use the Teleportation Array, the two closest of the ten major Immortal Cities would still require several decades to travel between them.
And for those more distant, the required time is even longer.
However, apart from the ten major Immortal Cities, there are also some smaller Immortal Cities.
In recent centuries, due to the frequent ascensions of Qin family descendants, Xuanyuan Immortal City has attracted a large number of cultivators from smaller Immortal Cities.
“Why is it so lively here?”
One day, a True Immortal that had ascended tens of thousands of years ago came out for a stroll.
He had been in seclusion for over ten thousand years and had reached the peak of the True Immortal realm.
But recently, he encountered some problems, so he came out to stretch his limbs.
And that’s when he saw such a lively scene.
This True Immortal concealed his aura and squeezed among the cultivators.
“Why are you all here when no one is ascending?”
He asked a Void Refinement cultivator.
Although he concealed his aura, that Void Refinement cultivator still sensed his extraordinary presence.
Perhaps, a Void Refinement cultivator from the lower realms might not have noticed.
But a Void Refinement in the Immortal World, especially within one of the ten major Immortal Cities, and given the curiosity many Immortals had about Qin Changqing and the Qin family in recent years, they had many opportunities to meet Immortals.
He naturally sensed that a being whose cultivation couldn’t be discerned, yet possessed an extraordinary temperament, was undoubtedly an Immortal.
There were still many Immortals who did not wish to show off too much and had no desire to boast in front of ordinary cultivators.
Even for an Immortal World Void Refinement, opportunities to speak with an Immortal were also rare.
So, the Void Refinement cultivator hurriedly spoke with respect, “Senior, there should be someone ascending soon.”
“How do you know something that even Immortal Kings can’t predict?” asked the True Immortal.
“Senior, it’s like this, in these recent years…”
That Void Refinement cultivator spoke of the frequent ascensions of Qin family descendants over the past few centuries.
“This… how is this possible? This isn’t called ascending. This is like attending a fair!” the True Immortal was shockingly surprised.
In just a few centuries, hundreds of Immortals had ascended from a single Spirit Domain.
This sounded truly astonishing.
He had ascended tens of thousands of years ago, and had always been in Xuanyuan Immortal City, without even visiting Ten Thousand Immortals Island.
There were still quite a few Immortals like him, who didn’t want to join any factions and lived like carefree cranes.
Because he had also become an Immortal through ascension, he knew all too well how difficult ascending was.
Even in a Spirit Domain that had not been invaded by the Devil Immortal Realm, the number of Immortals who ascended in ten thousand years could be counted on one hand.
But in the Blue Realm, in just the past few centuries, there was an insane surge in ascensions.
Who wouldn’t be surprised by this?
Not to mention him, a True Immortal.
Let a Spirit Immortal, a Heavenly Immortal, a Profound Immortal, a Golden Immortal come.
Even Immortal Kings and Immortal Masters would surely be amazed.
