The Righteous-Demonic War: Sharing Qin Changqing
On the peak of Chiyang, the sect leaders of the righteous path reappeared. The demonic cultivators like Zhu Xinghe, who had been watching their movements closely, all sensed trouble from the grim expressions on their faces.
"Father, it's all settled. Turns out Taiqing Sect found a remarkable man..."
The sect leaders immediately sent out secret transmissions, explaining everything to the others.
Incredulity spread across everyone's faces—even Chu Anhua and the other two God Transformation Heavenly Lords looked utterly shocked.
After repeated confirmations, Chu Anhua burst into laughter. His gaze swept sharply toward the four great demonic sects opposite them, his voice icy: "Brother Feng, Brother Lei, these demonic scum have committed countless atrocities. Who knows how many of our fellow disciples have died at their hands? Why not seize this chance to wipe them out completely and restore clarity to our Jing Kingdom? What do you say?"
Feng Jun and the others had also received the transmission from Liu Qinghui. Though reluctant, they knew this was the best course of action. They nodded firmly. "Exactly my thoughts!"
"Kill!"
The seven God Transformation Heavenly Lords flashed forward in an instant, their spiritual power surging wildly as they launched a ferocious assault. The sect leaders and elders behind them followed suit.
"This is bad!"
Zhu Xinghe and the others paled dramatically. They never imagined the tide would turn so swiftly—these foes were uniting to slaughter them!
Facing the charge of seven God Transformation Heavenly Lords, the four demonic sects descended into utter chaos.
In an instant, storm clouds gathered outside Taiqing Sect, mountains crumbled, and deafening blasts threatened to rupture eardrums. The clashes between God Transformation Heavenly Lords were like battles among immortals. Without the grand protective array—and the righteous top ten sects' deliberate efforts to shield Taiqing Sect—the sect would have been reduced to rubble and bodies in the shockwaves alone.
Inside Taiqing Sect, all the disciples stared in shock at the battle outside. Some trembled uncontrollably, their faces drained of color.
"Too terrifying—what the hell is going on out there?"
"Looks like the sects are fighting demonic cultivators. But how did it erupt so suddenly?"
"They're too fast—I can't even tell who's who!"
"Master, will Taiqing Sect be okay?"
...
"Is this the power of God Transformation Heavenly Lords? Terrifying..."
In Qingyun Mansion, Qin Changqing gazed up at the battle beyond the array, his heart pounding with awe—but even more with anticipation.
One day, I'll reach that level too!
The great battle raged for three days and nights, ending in a crushing defeat for the four demonic sects. Fewer than three in ten escaped, including the gravely wounded Zhu Xinghe and two other God Transformation Demon Lords. One was obliterated body and soul by Feng Jun and the others.
The top ten sects suffered losses too, but with numerical superiority and home-field advantage, they fared far better than the demons.
"Though the demonic path has been repelled, those vermin hold grudges like hawks. I'm worried they might try something sneaky. Why don't we three stay at Taiqing Sect to guard against any intruders?" Chu Anhua suggested with a faint smile.
This had been planned from the start. Feng Jun nodded. "We'll be in your debt."
"No trouble at all. Oh, Brother Feng—could you introduce us to that remarkable man?"
"Of course. This way, please!"
Feng Jun and the other three led Chu Anhua and his two companions to Qingyun Mansion, letting them meet the man and reassuring the other sects in the process. With the four of them present, there was no fear of the newcomers causing trouble.
The rest returned to their sects, selecting suitable women while dispatching one God Transformation Heavenly Lord each to oversee and guard Taiqing Sect.
A month later, the female cultivators and spirit stones from each sect arrived at Taiqing Sect—all women with superior spiritual roots. They couldn't just take Taiqing Sect's word for it, so each sect sent one such woman first as a test, hoping to produce heavenly spiritual roots. It also served as mutual oversight—no one wanted another sect gaining too much advantage. Fair play for all.
Qin Changqing thus began his busy routine.
Three months later, the women from the top ten sects all showed clear signs of pregnancy, their bellies swelling.
The sects were astonished. As expected of a prodigy. By this rate, doesn't that mean Qin Changqing hits the mark every time?
This efficiency bolstered their confidence, and soon they sent women with top-grade spiritual roots.
This round required longer to absorb spirit stones— a full month per pregnancy.
A year later.
In Qingyun Mansion, shielded by layers of arrays, dozens of extraordinary cultivators stood tensely in the courtyard, eyes flicking toward the delivery room.
These were the first female cultivators from the sects to give birth at Taiqing Sect—a true test of Qin Changqing's abilities.
All the God Transformation Heavenly Lords overseeing Taiqing Sect had gathered.
"Old Thunder Ghost, weren't you this nervous even when your own son was born? Hahaha!" Feng Jun teased.
The others smirked mockingly.
The Thunder Sword Sect's Supreme Elder snorted disdainfully. "Laugh it up. Wait till one of yours gives birth—I'll see how you like it!"
Just then, a loud, piercing cry echoed from the room.
Everyone perked up, eyes locked on the door.
Moments later, it swung open. A female elder from Thunder Sword Sect emerged cradling the child, her face beaming with uncontainable joy. "Grand Uncle, it's a heavenly spiritual root—truly a heavenly spiritual root!"
"Let me see!"
The elder flashed to her side, carefully probing with divine sense. He burst into laughter. "It really is a heavenly spiritual root!"
"Indeed—a heavenly spiritual root! Taiqing Sect struck gold!"
"What do you mean Taiqing Sect's treasure? Qin Changqing belongs to all ten of our sects now!"
"Right, right—our ten sects' shared treasure! Hahaha!"
After inspecting the child, shock and elation lit every face.
Though the baby belonged to Thunder Sword Sect, it validated Qin Changqing's prowess. The odds were high that the others would bear heavenly spiritual roots too!
"Superior roots produce heavenly roots—what might top-grade roots yield? Something beyond? Hurry—report back to the sect at once. Tell them to send earthly spiritual root women immediately!"
"Yes—this must stay secret. Only sect leadership can know!"
"Understood, Ancestor!"
A dozen streaks of light shot from Qingyun Mansion, scattering into the sky.
Three years passed in a flash.
The second batch of women from the major sects had all given birth, producing multi-attribute heavenly spiritual roots that stunned the sect leaders and God Transformation Heavenly Lords anew. They fully grasped the terrifying potential of Qin Changqing's abilities and vowed silently to protect him at all costs.
The God Transformation Heavenly Lords' secluded cultivation sites were relocated closer to Qingyun Mansion—even in retreat, they left a wisp of divine sense to monitor the area.
Soon, the earthly spiritual root women also delivered successfully.
"A perfect variant spiritual root!"
The arriving sect leaders stared at the dao patterns flickering on the child, too shocked to speak.
"Earthly roots produce such flawless variant roots. Doesn't that mean pairing with heavenly root women could... could produce... immortal spiritual roots!!!"
The realization stunned them all.
Immortal spiritual roots—the heaven-favored geniuses unbound by cultivation limits, capable of ascending to immortality in a mere century!
Heavenly spiritual roots were rare, but a few sects possessed them.
"Brother Feng, we can't waste Changqing's talent. My sect has a heavenly root female disciple named Wen Luqing. I'd like to send her over—what do you think?" The Bihai Sect leader stroked his beard with a smile.
Liu Qinghui felt a twinge of annoyance. Yeah, we know you have a heavenly root girl—brag much?
But he couldn't refuse; it was all agreed upon. He nodded. "Very well. But heavenly root women require at least thirty million spirit stones upfront for Changqing to absorb."
"Naturally!"
Soon, Bihai Sect's prodigy disciple Wen Luqing arrived at Taiqing Sect.
