Chapter 984: Verification, God Emperor!

"We have some too?"

Bodhi and Nuwa's faces lit up with surprise and joy, followed by a hint of embarrassment.

"Forget about us; the children need it more than we do!"

Bodhi stared longingly at the Treasure Gourd but still declined.

Nuwa nodded as well. "Bodhi is right. We are already Heavenly Venerables. The children all have extraordinary Aptitude. If they can achieve a Breakthrough to the Heavenly Venerable Realm, it would be of greater benefit to the Heavenly Court!"

Daoist Zhunti's eyes widened on the side, and he suddenly felt the jade bottle in his hand becoming like a hot potato.

Holy crap, aren't you two being a bit much? Doing this makes me look completely tactless!

How would the other children and Disciples look at him!

Lately, he had taken in many Disciples in the Western Heaven, all of whom were Qin Changqing's children with talent in the Buddhist Dao.

Qin Changqing glanced at the conflicted Daoist Zhunti and felt amused. He waved his hand and said, "There is no need for such modesty, Heavenly Elders. The Heavenly Court's current state is thanks to your immense contributions! I have always been clear about rewards and punishments; this is what you both deserve! It's just that the Grandmist Purple Qi is indeed incredibly precious right now, so I can only provide a portion. I hope you don't mind!"

Saying this, he handed the gourd over once more.

Bodhi and Nuwa exchanged a glance before taking the gourds one after another, unable to hide the joy on their faces. "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Grandmist Purple Qi was of great benefit even to Heavenly Venerables, so how could they not be tempted?

Next came the distribution of the remaining Grandmist Purple Qi.

Qin Changqing thought for a moment and said, "Qixian, come here."

Qin Qixian was indeed somewhat of a maverick. At that moment, he stood alone atop a white cloud, clutching his sword and gazing into the distance with a proud and aloof expression, lost in thought.

Hearing Qin Changqing's call, he immediately flew over. "Father!"

Qin Changqing nodded. "You saw what happened just now. Your three younger siblings have immense talent and brought back a lot of Grandmist Purple Qi. This kind of Spiritual Qi that nurtures heaven and earth is something even Heavenly Venerables would covet!"

Qin Qixian nodded, already realizing something. A flash of anticipation and excitement crossed his eyes. "Father, do you mean…?"

Qin Changqing nodded. "Indeed. I am currently unsure how much Grandmist Purple Qi is needed to transform a deity's Divine Soul into a perfect Golden Body of Karma. You and Qiming have always been neck and neck, progressing together. Seeing Qiming achieve a perfect Golden Body of Karma now, you must feel at least somewhat disappointed, right?"

Qin Qixian pursed his lips and did not deny it.

It was true. He felt no jealousy toward Qin Qiming for achieving the perfect Golden Body of Karma—in fact, he was happy for him—but to say he felt no disappointment at all would be a lie!

After all, both Cultivated the Sword Dao, and their talent and cultivation level had always been on par. They had constantly sparred and studied the Sword Dao together.

Now that Qin Qiming had taken a step ahead, he had essentially lost the status of walking side-by-side with him. How could he not feel disappointed?

Qin Changqing smiled slightly and shook the Wuji Collar in his hand. "Now, I am giving you the chance to catch up to Qiming. It's a perfect opportunity to see how much Grandmist Purple Qi is required for you to condense a perfect Golden Body of Karma!"

"Thank you, Father!"

Although Qin Qixian had already guessed it, he could still hardly contain his excitement.

"Summon your Divine Soul and prepare to receive the Grandmist Purple Qi!"

Qin Changqing commanded.

Qin Qixian nodded and immediately sat cross-legged. An ethereal figure instantly emerged from the top of his head—it was his Divine Soul!

Simultaneously, wisps of Grandmist Purple Qi emerged once again from the bell of the Wuji Collar in Qin Changqing's hand, drifting toward Qin Qixian's Divine Soul.

This scene drew everyone's attention. They slowly approached, watching Qin Qixian with bated breath.

Wen Luqing also clutched her chest tightly, her gaze toward Qin Changqing filled with sweetness.

Reaching this point, she and Qin Changqing had spent a very long time together. She was no longer the naive young girl she once was.

Qin Changqing had thousands of women, and countless were more beautiful than her.

However, Qin Changqing had never forgotten her, always thinking of her and their son whenever he had something good.

Back then, she had truly chosen the right man to follow!

In mid-air, Qin Qixian's Divine Soul continuously absorbed the Grandmist Purple Qi. Visible streaks of purple light began to circulate within the Divine Soul. At the same time, fragments of gold were stripped from the purple light and merged into the depths of the Divine Soul.

Qin Qixian's Divine Soul sat cross-legged above his Physical Body. As the purple and golden lights separated, the golden light remained within the Divine Soul while the purple light flowed into his Physical Body. His aura surged, and his cultivation level actually began to rise rapidly.

His original cultivation level was only at the third level of the Divine Venerable Realm. In just the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, his cultivation level achieved a Breakthrough to the fourth level of the Divine Venerable Realm.

As the Grandmist Purple Qi continued to flow in, his cultivation level skyrocketed.

Fifth level of the Divine Venerable Realm…

Sixth level of the Divine Venerable Realm…

Seventh level of the Divine Venerable Realm…

Eighth level of the Divine Venerable Realm…

Ninth level of the Divine Venerable Realm!

Not only that, but the golden light within his Divine Soul also grew increasingly dense.

Originally, only the area from the sole of his right foot to his calf had condensed into the Golden Body of Karma. Now, it had spread across his entire right leg and was rapidly expanding.

Left leg…

Lower abdomen…

Chest…

Arms…

Head…

Finally, four hours later, Qin Qixian's Divine Soul completely turned golden, condensing into a perfect Golden Body of Karma!

And his cultivation level also directly broke through to the first level of the God Emperor Realm!

The speed left everyone around dumbfounded.

This is too exaggerated!

No wonder even Heavenly Venerables coveted the Grandmist Purple Qi. It truly was a powerful treasure that nurtured heaven and earth. In just over four hours, it had forcibly raised Qin Qixian's cultivation level from the third level of the Divine Venerable Realm to the God Emperor Realm!

This was a deity, not a Cultivator from the Lower Realm or an Immortal!

Among deities, every Realm advancement was incredibly difficult and required massive amounts of cultivation resources. The higher the cultivation level, the more resources consumed and the longer the time required.

To put it this way: the resources needed to break through from the first level of the Divine Venerable Realm to the second level were enough to raise a Low-level Immortal to the God Emperor Realm!

This showed just how terrifying the energy contained within the Grandmist Purple Qi was!

Moreover, everyone saw clearly that because Qin Changqing's true goal was to help Qin Qixian condense a perfect Golden Body of Karma, what he really cared about was the Karma stripped from the Grandmist Purple Qi.

Since the Karma contained within the Grandmist Purple Qi wasn't actually that much, it had to be supplemented by quantity.

As a result, Qin Qixian couldn't keep up at all, and a large amount of Grandmist Purple Qi settled in his body before it could be absorbed. Once he finished digesting all the accumulated Grandmist Purple Qi, his cultivation level would likely rise several more levels—it might even be possible for him to ascend to the rank of Heavenly Venerable in one go!
