Chapter 700: Chapter 699: The Mysterious Great Array
Then, Qin Changqing began to expand into other Spirit Domains.

Since he reconstructed reincarnation under the rules of the Immortal World, it naturally did not provoke the backlash of heaven and earth; instead, he continually gained things like a stream of merit.

The advantage of these things was that, when proving oneself as a Saint, they were comparable to protective talismans.

Once accumulated, they made success more likely; and even in failure, it was possible to gain a slim chance of survival.

Heavenly Dao Saints wishing to become Great Dao Saints also needed these.

That day, finally, many powerhouses from the Immortal World returned.

Upon their return, they were shocked by what had transpired.

“Immortal Leader Qin Changqing… he’s reached Semi-Saint already?”

Many Immortal Leaders and other Semi-Saints were staggeringly surprised.

“Haha, Qin Changqing has achieved this much. This matrimonial match is sure to be successful. Let’s go, we shall congratulate Qin Changqing,” said the master of the Celestial Court with a hearty laugh.

Soon, he and the many Semi-Saints came to Divine Continent Heaven.

They met with Qin Changqing.

The numerous Semi-Saints felt the aura emanating from Qin Changqing and once again found it somewhat incredible.

It was simply that Qin Changqing’s growth had been too rapid.

His combat power too formidable.

A single battle where he killed no less than two Semi-Saints was an astonishing combat achievement.

By now, in the hearts of the many Immortal Leaders, Qin Changqing’s strength and position had already somewhat surpassed their own.

Even the Flowers Celestial Master and Moon God, who knew of Qin Changqing’s monstrous nature, were somewhat startled.

In this battle, Qin Changqing had thwarted the Monster Immortal Realm’s conspiracy, securing Bai Huatian, and lived up to the trust placed in him by the Flowers Celestial Master.

The Flowers Celestial Master was extremely grateful.

However, with so many people now present, the Flowers Celestial Master did not yet have the chance to speak with Qin Changqing alone.

“Immortal friend Qin Changqing, you must certainly accept this congratulatory gift~”

The Celestial Court Master came forward to present Qin Changqing with a gift.

Following that, other Immortal Leaders also came forward with congratulatory gifts.

Beyond the Immortal Leaders, there were several Semi-Saints in the Immortal World who usually remained in seclusion and did not reveal themselves.

Qin Changqing accepted the gifts,

“I didn’t expect you to reach Semi-Saint so quickly. Regarding that prospective marriage mentioned earlier, it seems more and more like a done deal now. However, you will have to make the journey yourself. If it works out, it will be a wonderful event. If not, Hu will have no choice but to give you my daughter as your wife,” the Celestial Court Master said.

He brought up the marriage issue once again.

It seemed that the person he intended to introduce to Qin Changqing… was not his daughter after all.

“Elder Hu, are you referring to that one?” the Flowers Celestial Master finally spoke.

“Indeed,” replied the Celestial Court Master.

“Qing, Elder Hu speaks of a Saint’s daughter who, during a Dao Integration, met with an accident and turned into a stone statue. Even the Saint couldn’t reverse it. Finally, Xuanyuan Dao Master came up with a method. Using the character ‘affection’ to forge the last bit of spiritual light for her, once she meets her true love, she would be able to break free from the stone,” explained the Flowers Celestial Master, secretly transmitting the message to Qin Changqing.

“Young friend, this is Ziwei Palace,” declared Le Kong amidst the vast expanse, a grand and seemingly endless palace appeared before them.

This palace was not only exquisitely beautiful, but even each brick and tile seemed to contain the ultimate principles of the universe.

This was a place above the nine heavens.

The abode of Saints.

Ziwei Palace!

“This palace is named after her. When Supreme Clear Dao Master was still a Semi-Saint, he made the acquaintance of her mother. On a journey to the Outer Heaven Realm, an accident befell them, and with the last of her life~force, her mother gave birth to her,” narrated the Celestial Court Master to Qin Changqing in a low voice as they headed to Ziwei Palace.

The matchmaking he had in mind for Qin Changqing was indeed a Saint’s daughter.

But the Celestial Court Master could not be one hundred percent certain it would succeed.

For she had already turned into a stone statue, and her Divine Soul was nearly assimilated by the Dao.

Sure, here is the translation:

Only the last glimmer of spiritual essence remained, which could be “emotionally” ignited.

“For countless years, newly ascended Semi-Saints within the Immortal World have all tried, yet none could elicit any reaction, not even a glimpse of her last light,”

“A Dao Master hypothesized that Zi Wei Fairy was an extraordinary prodigy by nature, having become a Semi-Saint in less than five thousand years. Therefore, it is feared that only someone of similar genius would be eligible to witness her final spiritual essence.”

The Celestial Court Master added.

During their conversation, the two had already arrived at the gargantuan Square floating in front of the Ziwei Palace.

In the center of the Square stood a gateway wrought from white jade, a hundred meters tall, not extraordinarily high, yet even Demon Lords with bodies as vast as small worlds, like the incoming Blood Lion Demon Lord, could pass through this gate.

No sooner had the two appeared before the gate than the silhouettes of a boy and a girl emerged upon it, quickly solidifying from phantasms into reality.

“Fellow young ones, I wish to lead Immortal Leader Qin Changqing to Zi Wei Fairy’s stone statue; please allow us some convenience,”

The Celestial Court Master spoke and produced a jade token, handing it to the two.

After the boy and girl checked the token, they stepped aside to make way.

Radiant light emerged from the center of the gate.

“Young friend, let’s go,”

The Celestial Court Master, after thanking the boy and girl, led Qin Changqing into the gate.

Upon stepping through, they found themselves outside an exquisitely crafted palace.

The palace’s grand doors were tightly shut, guarded by a pair of jade statues in the likeness of young girls.

However, these statues came to life following the pair’s arrival.

The Celestial Court Master, still holding the jade token, stepped forward and declared their purpose.

After verification, the girl statues opened the door.

From outside, one could not see inside.

“Enter, but do not approach within ten steps of the Fairy; otherwise, it will be perilous,” one girl statue said in a clear voice.

“Go ahead, young friend,”

the Celestial Court Master said.

Qin Changqing stepped into the palace.

Upon entering, he discovered that this palace housed a microcosm within itself.

Celestial bodies gathered here, numerous and not just one of each.

There were nine suns, ninety-nine moons, and ninety-nine thousand, nine hundred ninety-nine stars.

These stars were real stars, not distant fixed stars.

And the suns, also real suns.

Though not as large as those in the Immortal World.

Yet in the microcosm, they too were enormous.

At this moment, these celestial bodies were all revolving around a person.

That was… the small stone statue in the center.

Though tiny, the statue had become the heart of this microcosm.

“What a profound Great Array,”

Qin Changqing whispered softly.

The cosmos within this palace was in fact an incredibly profound Great Array.

These celestial bodies were not just to complement the significance of the statue.

They had substantial meaning.

With their existence, the statue could remain unchanged for countless millennia.

Meanwhile, preserving Zi Wei Fairy’s last bit of spiritual essence.

He took one step, then another, two steps, three steps, walking towards the statue.

Only a few steps in, Qin Changqing paused.

At this moment, the statue was still billions of miles away from him.

He could go no further.

The “ten steps” said by the girl statue were not the ten steps of a common person, but those of an Immortal.

The concept of distance for an Immortal differed naturally from that of a mortal.

Not to mention, those qualified to come here were all Semi-Saints.
