Unlocking The Easy Mode Of Cultivation After Getting Married

It was Qin Changqing’s first time in Su City, and all around him was bustling activity.

Many female cultivators vied to marry Qin Changqing, creating a spectacle in Su City.

For a while, Qin Changqing continually took on more concubines.

Though he had many women, as a cultivator, he spent most of his time cultivating, so he didn’t have to worry about not being able to keep up with his affections.

Instead, sometimes, he would stroll around the Qin Mansion to find that many of the concubines were cultivating too, and all he could do was to seek the company of the mortal concubines.

Thanks to Qin Changqing’s hard work, the number of descendants with spiritual roots was also constantly increasing.

The increase in the number of descendants happened more quickly now.

This time, he managed to have 100 descendants in less than ten years!

It was the first time he’d managed to have so many in under a decade.

The number of descendants with spiritual roots had once again reached the thousands.

After receiving two major prizes, Qin Changqing provoked Tianxin to bring on the third decline even more fiercely.

The time was shortened by Qin Changqing to 80 years.

As the third decline became more violent, the energy expended in the Tribulation Passing Stage also increased.

Qin Changqing was not worried. For him now, time was the most precious commodity.

The severity of the third decline was such that the consumption of tribulation energy still remained enormous.

From this estimation, the more formidable fourth decline would be an even bigger burden.

“If the spiritual root advances to the first grade, the consumption should be reduced.”

Qin Changqing pondered.

The first-grade spiritual root was still a considerable distance away from him.

The Five Declines of Heaven-Man, each one more dreadful than the one before, prevented Qin Changqing from shortening the time to less than 50 years, as the current consumption was astonishingly high.

This consumption was largely related to the spiritual roots.

Others endured the third decline for thousands of years, each time extremely challenging.

Qin Changqing had drastically shortened this time, and the high consumption was inevitable.

As Qin Changqing saw it, though undergoing the Tribulation Stage wasn’t too bad, passing the Five Declines of Heaven-Man and wanting to become immortal, without a first-grade spiritual root, would likely require a vast accumulation of cultivation abilities.

Fortunately, as he constantly took more concubines, descendants with Heavenly Spirit Roots would occasionally appear. They provided quite a bit of Reciprocal Feeding, pushing Qin Changqing’s spiritual roots closer to becoming first-grade spiritual roots.

Regrettably, no descendants with first-grade spiritual roots had been born recently. The ones born with Heavenly Spirit Roots were mostly of the Third Grade, with only an occasional second tier.

To have a descendant with a first-grade spiritual root, he would likely need to create a child with a more formidable female cultivator for the chances to be higher.

Master Fengtian was married to Qin Changqing, but she hadn’t yet borne him a child because she was still in the process of the Tribulation Passing Stage.

As for the other masters, the only female he had met was Yunyan.

For these past few years, Yunyan Master had also been in the Vast Wave Realm, but she chose not to stay in Su City and instead resided in Taichu Sacred Land.

She remained devoted to her role as Sect Leader.

The relationship between her and Qin Changqing was not that close, so he couldn’t simply ask her to bear his child.

One day, though, he gained something unexpected.

A first-grade Immortal Sect called Mirror Moon Sect, in order to curry favour with Qin Changqing, shockingly married off a disciple who had a first-grade spiritual root to him.

In a first-grade Immortal Sect, there were definitely those with first-grade spiritual roots, but chances were they’d be cornered against the wall by the Holy Land.

Qin Changqing, after taking the female cultivator named Tian Xin as his wife and cultivating ardently, had a child with a first-grade Wood Spiritual Root by the end of the second year.

Finally, another child with a first-grade spiritual root was born.

It was a Wood Spiritual Root.

This time, Qin Changqing had struck it rich once again!

Time flew by.

For Qin Changqing, while the pleasant times were brief, every day brought new joy.

Now approaching the age of 900, he was already accustomed to the life of an immortal being.

Always retaining his peak strength, he never felt numb towards life or time.

Before Qin Changqing traversed across worlds, in Western concepts, immortality seemed to be a painful thing.

When you didn’t possess power that could overturn everything, when you couldn’t bring your loved ones into immortality, when you were still confined to a normal societal life, immortality indeed was painful.

At the most basic level, to prevent being regarded as a monster or imprisoned by the powerful for research, you’d have to hide in seclusion, where everyone in the environment would be strangers.

Even if you made friends, after several decades or a century, the world would be populated by total strangers once again.

That would indeed be a painful experience.

For Qin Changqing, spending his days creating human life and researching other means brought him great joy and fulfillment.

From time to time, he would tease Su Xiaoxiao.

Each time, Su Xiaoxiao would fight back.

Qin Changqing felt that after a few more decades or a couple of centuries, Su Xiaoxiao should be prepared to make her move.

At that point, when it came time to reveal true intentions, it would depend on what Su Xiaoxiao chose to do after discovering that her moves had no effect on him.

If she still chose to be hostile, Qin Changqing would lock her up, hide her from the world, and occasionally tease her.

If she chose to come clean, Qin Changqing could treat her the same as he did the other witches.

Judging Su Xiaoxiao’s intentions would be a simple task; once she enjoyed the system’s benefits, it would indicate her change of heart.

Over the years, the seven witches who had switched their allegiance grew rapidly.

With Qin Changqing’s help, the defying witches had all reached the Void Refinement Stage; they had traversed the Tribulation Thunder.

Murong Xue and Liu Feng’er reached the full stage of Void Refinement and are preparing to push for the Combine Body Stage, which for them wasn’t as easy as for Youyue.

Youyue was a natural talent in herself, whereas Murong Xue and Liu Feng’er fell slightly short.

While the speed of the increase in descendants accelerated, it wasn’t the case that an additional million descendants could be added within ten years each time.

But as the number of descendants continued to grow, after a few years, every increase of a million descendants could be achieved in just a few years or even less.

Judging by the current pace, the increasing number of aged and deceased descendants would not greatly impact the overall population.

As long as the number of newly born descendants continued to increase, the overall population would also continue to grow.

“Finding proper materials would be good.”

On his 900th birthday, Qin Changqing, after researching the Immortal Artifact Fragment for a few hundred years, had made considerable progress.

With his current level of cultivation, he was now able to use the Immortal Artifact Fragment in a preliminary way.

The fragment was the heart of the Immortal Artifact, which is to say, the part where the energy was stored.

However, utilizing it this way was wasteful, and the power was greatly reduced, equivalent to using a primordial magnet as a weapon.

But bashing someone with such a weapon would likely be inescapable for most.

Nevertheless, there was a better way to utilize it: find enough materials and restore it with the Immortal Artifact Fragment at its core.

Once restored, it might not be comparable to the original Immortal Artifact, but it would still be able to exhibit major power.

Another point was if Qin Changqing could successfully restore it, his accomplishments in Artifact Refining would undergo a qualitative change.

If he successfully restored it, Qin Changqing could go find materials and attempt to refine the Six Harmonies Mirror into an Immortal Artifact.

Materials, however, still posed a major problem.
