Chapter 652: Chapter 652: The Tenth Heavenly Layer was Stolen_1
After creating the Flower Fairy Sixth Tone, Qin Changqing did indeed still have to handle quite a few matters.

The Qin family couldn’t possibly stay in Xuanyuan Immortal City forever.

Although it was safe there, they would also be under constant surveillance from others.

There were many who were keeping an eye on the Qin family now.

Just think, in the recent one or two thousand years, so many Immortals had ascended from the Qin family that even if others weren’t sure whether these Immortals were entirely from the Qin family or from the Blue Realm,

it was still astonishing.

It was impossible not to attract attention.

But for fear of attracting attention, Qin Changqing wouldn’t stop ascending.

By now, having achieved Great Luo and formed an acquaintance with the Flowers Celestial Master, along with possessing a Moon God Token,

his own strength, and the influence he could leverage, was already not insignificant.

He no longer feared the gaze of the vast majority.

Strength was always the most important.

So why did Qin Changqing complete the Nine Transformations to Immortality?

If, at the time of his Immortality, his strength were not strong enough, yet his growth was exceptionally rapid, even Spirit Immortals and Heavenly Immortals would come to spy on him.

Many great forces could casually send a Heavenly Immortal or Profound Immortal to probe and play Qin Changqing like a puppet.

But since he completed the Nine Transformations to ascend, becoming a Golden Immortal right away, even if the Qin family seemed to defy the heavens, at the current stage, no one moved against or probed him.

A Golden Immortal was already a powerful entity.

If you wanted to probe Qin Changqing, you’d have to at least send a Golden Immortal or even an Immortal King, right?

And with Qin Changqing not willing to leave Xuanyuan Immortal City no matter what, casually sending a Golden Immortal or an Immortal King there would cause quite a stir.

The various major forces, hoping to win Qin Changqing’s favor, monitored each other, keeping an eye on one another. If any great force dared to send someone to probe or deal with Qin Changqing, whether from the Nine Heavens or otherwise,

the other forces would probably be unable to contain their glee, rushing to send aid immediately.

This was also the reason Qin Changqing previously refused visitors but accepted congratulatory gifts.

Even after becoming Immortal, one couldn’t afford to lose their wit and still needed to be adept at leveraging situations.

After all, Qin Changqing was not alone.

If it were just him, it would be simple; the world was vast, and he could hide anywhere to develop.

But he had a huge family, many women, and numerous talented descendants.

This was the foundation of the Qin family.

“Good, once I have arranged everything, then I will join the Immortal Master to create the Seventh Tone,” Qin Changqing said.

The Flowers Celestial Master “hmm”ed in agreement.

Then she added, “Initially I wanted to invite you to Bai Huatian, but it seems you have your own plans. Now that you’ve become Great Luo, the world has broadened for you. Have you decided where you would like to settle?”

Qin Changqing pondered for a moment and replied, “Not yet.”

Indeed, he hadn’t decided.

But he did not plan to move the entire family to Bai Huatian.

He would not choose any of the layers of the Nine Heavens of the Immortal Realm…

Choosing any one layer would brand him with its mark, which was not a wise move for Qin Changqing’s long-term development plans.

The Flowers Celestial Master had made an invitation before, but as Qin Changqing showed no interest, she understood.

The Flowers Celestial Master said, “This time you have greatly assisted Bai Huatian, so let me give you a gift in return.”

After speaking, she deliberately paused.

Qin Changqing looked at her.

Their eyes met as the Flowers Celestial Master’s bright pupils gazed upward at Qin Changqing.

She asked, “Would you like the Tenth Heavenly Layer?”

The Tenth Heavenly Layer!

Those words stirred something in Qin Changqing’s heart.

The Immortal World was divided into the Lower Immortal Realm and the Upper Immortal Realm.

Although the Lower Immortal Realm was vast, it was mostly populated by Immortal Realm cultivators and newly ascended Immortals.

For example, True Immortals who had ascended would typically have to stay many years in the Lower Immortal Realm.

As for those who became Immortal within the Immortal Realm, they had to stay even longer.

Ascended Immortals could still be courted by major forces like Ten Thousand Immortals Island.

After all, their potential was much greater compared to those who became Immortal within the Immortal Realm.

Those who became Immortal within the Immortal Realm, many of whom were rather mediocre even after becoming Immortal, might have to spend their entire lives in the Lower Immortal Realm.

Or they could join some forces in the Star Sea.

There were also some more powerful individuals, such as Heavenly Immortals, who would establish their caves on some of the lofty immortal mountains in the Lower Immortal Realm.

Such Heavenly Immortals basically all prefer freedom, and do not like being constrained.

In the Immortal World, there are quite a few of these types of immortals.

Some, after becoming immortal, also adopt a carefree attitude, akin to clouds drifting across the sky or cranes soaring through the wild.

These immortals, many of them do not grow easily.

However, among them, there are also some extremely formidable immortals.

This is some basic information about the Lower Immortal Realm.

The Upper Immortal World includes the Nine Heavens and the Star Sea.

A part of Outer Heaven Realm can be considered to be within the Upper Immortal World, but the majority lies beyond the Immortal Realm.

Additionally, the Monster Immortal Realm is a relatively independent section.

The Infinite Sea borders the Lower Immortal Realm, but is not deemed a part of it.

However, the Infinite Sea cannot be considered an ordinary sea.

It’s just like the Rain Immortal Realm within the Nine Heavens of the Immortal Realm, which also connects to the Infinite Sea.

Even in some areas of Outer Heaven Realm, which are immeasurably distant from the Immortal World, one can also enter the Infinite Sea.

This sea is too vast; within it lies endless secrets.

The Nine Heavens of the Immortal World is publicly acknowledged as the strongest in the Immortal World.

Qin Changqing did not know there was a Tenth Heavenly Layer in the Immortal Realm.

From whence did this Tenth Layer originate?

It seemed as though the question in Qin Changqing’s eyes was noticed.

Before Qin Changqing could ask, the Flowers Celestial Master spoke again.

“The Immortal Realm once had more than nine layers of heaven; in the extremely distant era, the ancient Immortal World even supposedly had thirty-three layers of heaven. Of course, that’s too ancient, and no one has ever seen it with their own eyes,” said the Flowers Celestial Master.

She continued, “However, the Tenth Heavenly Layer does exist. It’s just that, long ago, the Tenth Heavenly Layer was stolen by the Devil Immortal Realm.”

“Stolen?” Qin Changqing was startled.

The Devil Immortal Realm had stolen the Immortal World’s Tenth Heavenly Layer?

The capability to steal an entire layer was quite impressive.

Ziluo Immortal Master was also somewhat astonished, standing nearby.

She didn’t know about this either?

How ancient a story was this!

It must date back beyond millions of years.

On the timescale of an immortal, millions of years can certainly be considered vast.

Of course, to those of the Great Luo or Immortal Leader level, it’s merely passable.

But considering how Ziluo Immortal Master seemed to have become a Great Luo not so long ago, it was normal for her not to know.

If she didn’t know, then Tao Yao would be even less aware.

“Yes, stolen. The Immortal Leader of that layer was seduced by the Devil Immortal Realm, developed a Demon Barrier, and at that time, when other events occurred that the Immortal Court could not afford to pay attention to, that Immortal Leader succumbed to the demons. With guidance from the Devil Immortal Realm, he took that layer and fled into the Devil Immortal Realm,” the Flowers Celestial Master explained.

Qin Changqing understood.

So that was it.

However, an Immortal Leader is at least above the Great Luo.

To obtain the Tenth Layer, would Qin Changqing have to go to the Devil Immortal Realm and steal it back?

He couldn’t accomplish that now.

Even if the Flowers Celestial Master was willing to help him, it would still not be certain.

No matter how strong the Flowers Celestial Master might be, could she oppose the entire Devil Immortal Realm?

Even if Qin Changqing used the Moon God Token and asked the Moon God for help, it wouldn’t be easy.

If it were so easy to take back… the Immortal Realm would have done it already.

The strong ones in the Immortal World are not limited to just two Immortal Leaders.

But since the Flowers Celestial Master mentioned this, there must be more to follow.

Indeed, the Flowers Celestial Master spoke again.

“With your current strength, retrieving the Tenth Layer is not realistic; even with me, and even with more Immortal Leaders, it would still not be enough. Even if you progressed further, it still wouldn’t suffice,” the Flowers Celestial Master said.

Ziluo Immortal Master, standing by, was curious as well; since the Flowers Celestial Master expressed so many “not enough’s.”

How then can Qin Changqing obtain the Tenth Layer?
