Chapter 647 364: Middle Stage Divinity Transformation

Xinghan Mountain Range.

In a newly constructed palace courtyard, Ling Changqing, dressed in magnificent azure and purple robes and with a face as handsome as carved jade, leaned against a Purple Jade Table, engrossed in the Jade Scroll in his hands.

The wide table, about ten feet long, was carved from a single, massive piece of Top Grade, Grade Six Spirit Jade. Its fine, smooth grain shimmered with a treasured luster, and the dense Spiritual Qi it emanated was infused with a mysterious and profound Dao Rhyme, its benefits for Cultivation self-evident.

On the table were various exquisite pastries and Spirit Wine Nectar, all precious Grade Six resources, for him to enjoy as he pleased.

After a long while, Ling Changqing finally closed the Jade Scroll. He picked up an Azure Jade Wine Pot, took a sip, and gently caressed the smooth, delicate face of the Kunpeng Maiden, Qingsi, who was massaging his legs under the table. He then let out a satisfied breath.

'I wouldn't trade this life even for an Immortal Rank.'

All around him, numerous Female Cultivators, each as beautiful as a flower and possessing alluringly voluptuous figures, stood waiting in silence.

Their attire ranged from Daoist Robes and Vestment robes to maid and nurse uniforms, from Armor and Battle Skirts to bellybands and Stockings, and even Blood Drop swimsuits... all in sheer, seductive styles.

Needless to say, Ling Changqing had personally designed and refined these fiery, bold, and utterly embarrassing outfits, and he required the women to wear them.

Any Female Cultivator who served by his side, regardless of her Cultivation or background, had to dress this way.

Although these beautiful women, who had never had a Dao Companion, felt shy and awkward, it was their husband's request. They could only reluctantly obey, dressing this way every day to please him.

In truth, they were the most outstanding batch from the newest selection of Immortal Seeds, chosen for their talent, intellect, and beauty.

As long as they didn't perish prematurely and had sufficient Cultivation Resources, they all had the potential to one day reach the Nascent Soul Realm, or even the Divinity Transformation Realm.

Of course, having the good fortune to serve Ling Changqing was an unparalleled opportunity that countless Cultivators could only dream of.

With the favor of the Child of Destiny, their future accomplishments on the path of the Dao would increase by at least two major levels.

Not far away, in a lavish and magnificent hot spring pool, numerous beautiful women with skin as white as ice and snow were swimming and playing, completely nude. There was no shortage of lolis, young maidens, mature beauties, and alluring wives.

Their fragrant, smooth, and supple skin was dazzlingly white. Their voluptuous figures boasted dramatic curves, and their nation-toppling faces complemented one another, creating Ling Changqing's favorite scenery.

"...Husband, would you like to go down and play with them for a while?"

Beside him, Song Xuelan, dressed in an elegant, watery-red palace gown, asked with a smile. She was gentle and lovely, with bright eyes and pearly teeth.

"If I do, I won't get a moment's peace."

Ling Changqing shook his head. These beauties were all as ferocious as wolves and tigers, their bedroom skills superb. If he dared to go down there, he wouldn't be able to withstand their combined assault.

"But they'll definitely come to invite you later, Husband. You won't be able to refuse."

Song Xuelan said, holding back a laugh. After all, wasn't the only reason these sisters had arranged to soak in the hot springs and show off their stunning figures because Ling Changqing was here?

Since he had already seen them, regardless of whether he could handle it, he had to fulfill his duties as their Dual Cultivation Companion, go down to play with them, and engage in a few rounds of Dual Cultivation.

"We'll see later."

Ling Changqing sighed. 'I have a weakness for beautiful women, so this scene before me is the most satisfying and enjoyable masterpiece I could ever ask for.'

A hundred paces away, Ling Zhiqing, dressed in a tight, fiery-red leather outfit that accentuated her wasp waist and long legs, hurried over.

"Husband, the special envoys from the Yu Family and the Tang Family have arrived. Their Patriarchs are leading the delegations. Sister Yue has already gone to greet them."

Ling Zhiqing said in a sweet voice, swaying gracefully as she approached and squeezed her slender, charming body into his embrace.

Ling Changqing looked slightly stunned for a moment, then smiled. "It's not too late. It seems they've also noticed something is afoot. Is that why they made this decision?"

He had originally estimated that the Yu Family might side with him, since the three women—Yu Ruoshuang, Yu Yalan, and Yu Youqin—were by his side.

The stance of the remaining families—the Tang Family, the Yin Family, the Feng Family, the Yu Family, and the Hao Family—was harder to predict. After all, they previously had no relationship with the Ling Family.

If they remained stubborn to the end, the final result would be their complete annihilation by the Ling Family, with all their clansmen demoted to slaves, just like the Cui Family.

'Looks like the unification of the Yuzhou Cultivation Realm will happen even sooner now,'

Ling Changqing mused.

The allegiance of the Yu Family and the Tang Family meant that the balance of power in Yuzhou had shifted even further in the Ling Family's favor. The remaining Yu, Feng, Hao, and Yin Families were no longer a cause for concern.

Even if war broke out now, the fate of these few families was already sealed; there was no possibility of a comeback.

The only headache was that the Ling Family lacked the manpower to manage the vast new territories and would have to rely on the help of several female cultivator factions.

"Well, that's fine too."

Beside him, Yun Qingxue, dressed in a jet-black swimsuit, said with a charming pout, "If we unify this continent sooner and establish the Changqing Immortal Dynasty, it will be easier to deal with the tribulations to come."

The Immortal Dao Heavy Tribulation was approaching, and no one could escape it. Only by gathering as many resources as possible and planning ahead could they hope to fight for a sliver of a chance at survival.

Ling Changqing nodded. From under the table, a satisfied Qingsi rose gracefully. Her lustrous, beautiful eyes shimmered like water, looking moist and alluring.

She pulled a snow-white silk handkerchief from her high, full bosom, delicately wiped her glossy, alluring lips, and said in a sweet voice to Ye Binghua beside her:

"Little sister, it's your turn!"

Ye Binghua, a peerless beauty resembling a lavish peony and dressed in a thin, transparent gauze skirt, answered. Her voluptuous body slipped under the table, and with her head lowered, she began to meticulously massage Ling Changqing's legs.

Ling Changqing drank a few more cups of the Spirit Wine Nectar, leaned back in his chair, and closed his eyes to rest.

His Divine Thought sank deep into his sea of consciousness. Accompanied by a bewitching laugh, Gong Ling's tall, stunningly beautiful figure appeared. She leaned in with a charming smile and straddled him, gently rubbing against him.

As Ling Changqing's Cultivation level increased daily, her strength was also recovering rapidly. Her every move now carried an intangible air of authority.

"You're getting more and more beautiful."

Ling Changqing hugged her voluptuous body and kissed her, his arms filled with her fragrance. It was an indescribably comfortable and pleasant feeling.

She was still dressed in a short, tight, transparent cheongsam, with pure white garter stockings. Her voluptuous and explosive, snow-white body, with majestic mountains soaring high and her perfectly round legs long and straight, was almost completely exposed.

Gong Ling wrapped her arms around him in return. After the two shared a tender moment, she said softly:

"You've been quite diligent recently. You must continue this effort and reach the Void Refining Realm as soon as possible. Only then will you be qualified to even dream of ruling the Qingyao Continent!"

Ling Changqing chuckled. "There's no rush for that. We can only take it slow."

The Ling Family currently didn't have enough people to rule the entire continent. Even with the Shenluo Celestial Palace, the three female cultivator factions including Lu Hua Palace, and the Deep Sea Dragon Race, it still wasn't enough.

For the Ling Family to grow into a super-faction at the continent level, Ling Changqing would still need to work hard for several hundred years.

In his sea of consciousness, a message exuding a mysterious Dao Rhyme silently appeared:

After becoming Dao Companions with Yun Qingxue and the other Female Cultivators of the Shenluo Celestial Palace and gaining the blessing of their Destiny, Ling Changqing had now managed to reach the Middle stage Divinity Transformation.

Furthermore, as the Ling Family continued to expand its territory, in addition to vast lands, they also acquired all kinds of high-end Cultivation Resources as essential spoils of war, including a massive number of Demon Beast Cores.

As a result, Ling Changqing's current Lifespan had reached nearly 50,000 years, all obtained by sacrificing a large number of Demon Beast Cores.

"...Master,"

Gong Ling, her jade-like face vivid and her beauty breathtaking, hugged him and asked:

"Now that you're at the Middle stage Divinity Transformation Realm, you can upgrade your abilities again. What do you plan to choose?"

"Celestial Secret Technique and Divination, of course,"

Ling Changqing replied. 'It's the most important option.'

"Understood. Upgrading the Path of Celestial Secret Art and Divination to Rank Five High Grade will consume 12,000 years of Lifespan. Confirm upgrade?"

"Upgrade it!"

Ling Changqing said. As the Era Star Palace's main body recovered, the Lifespan cost for upgrading Art Skills had also been reduced somewhat.

Instantly, a chaotic-colored Dao Fire enveloped Ling Changqing. His Lifespan was consumed as quickly as snow melting in high heat. In the blink of an eye, over ten thousand years of Lifespan vanished into nothing.

[Master of the Era Star Palace: Ling Changqing]

[Bone Age: 169 / 37,533]

[Celestial Secret Technique and Divination: 0 / 600,000 (Rank Five High Grade)]

"Alright, upgrading the Alchemy Art Skills to Rank Five High Grade requires 5,500 years of Lifespan. The Talisman Dao, Artifact Dao, and Array Dao Art Skills are the same. Confirm upgrades?"

"Upgrade them all!"

Ling Changqing replied, feeling a slight pang of regret as 22,000 years of Lifespan vanished in an instant.

As the chaotic Dao Fire enveloped Ling Changqing, a moment later:

[Alchemy Dao: 0 / 400,000 (Rank Five High Grade)]

[Talisman Dao: 0 / 400,000 (Rank Five High Grade)]

[Artifact Dao: 0 / 400,000 (Rank Five High Grade)]

[Array Dao: 0 / 400,000 (Rank Five High Grade)]

His Lifespan was now 15,533, which was still significantly higher than that of an ordinary Divinity Transformation Cultivator.

Ling Changqing pondered for a moment, then took out all the Demon Beast Cores stored in his Grotto Heaven Blessed Land and sacrificed them directly.

When the sacrifice was complete, his Lifespan became 39,970.

The area of the Era Star Palace Grotto Heaven Blessed Land had now expanded to a radius of 700 li, allowing it to accommodate more Cultivators and resources.

The Spiritual Qi within the Grotto Heaven Blessed Land had become even more abundant, now equivalent to that of a Rank Six Middle Grade Spirit Vein, sufficient for numerous Void Refining Realm Cultivators to engage in long-term Cultivation in Seclusion inside.

"Hmm, I still have quite a bit of Lifespan left. I should keep 15,000 years, and use the rest to upgrade my Primary Cultivation Techniques."

Ling Changqing said.

"Okay, Master."

Gong Ling agreed, and the chaotic Dao Fire once again enveloped Ling Changqing.

As over 20,000 years of life vanished into the void, a moment later:

[Primary Cultivation Technique: Five Elements Origin Secret Manual (5th Floor) 38,790 / 150,000]

[Primary Cultivation Technique: Taiyin Moonlight Divine Heart Refining Scripture (7th Floor) Great Perfection]

[Sword Cultivation Technique: Kunling Sword Manual (5th Floor) 26,305 / 150,000]

[Primary Cultivation Technique: Langhuan Celestial Essence Secret Manual (7th Floor) Great Perfection]

[Body Cultivation Technique: Xinghai Jade Pool Scripture (6th Floor) 8,799 / 150,000]

[Spirit Root: Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, High Grade Celestial Rank 114,907 / 120,000]

'Not bad. That felt worth it.'

Ling Changqing breathed a sigh of relief. The Taiyin Moonlight Divine Heart Refining Scripture and the Langhuan Celestial Essence Secret Manual had both reached the Great Perfection level. The others had all been raised by two levels as well.

According to Gong Ling's assessment, his actual combat power had increased by nearly three times from its baseline in the early Divinity Transformation Realm, and that wasn't even counting the support from various Spiritual Treasures and Daoist Soldier Puppets.

Of course, Ling Changqing rarely had to take action and fight anyone personally, so in the eyes of outsiders, the true combat power of this Child of Destiny was impossible to fathom.

Furthermore, his Spirit Root Level was also approaching the peak of the High Grade Celestial Rank, just one step away from the legendary Divine Grade Spirit Root (the Five Elements Spirit Body).
