You first swallowed that drop of spiritual liquid. The spiritual energy entered your dantian, increasing your cultivation by ten years. Of course, since you are already at the eleventh level of the Nascent Soul stage, these ten years of cultivation won't directly help you advance. But even a mosquito's leg is still meat. The more cultivation you accumulate, the more powerful you will be when you break through to the Transformation God stage.
Afterward, you turned your attention to Qin Wushang's supernatural power seed. This seed was square, divided into four sides, each engraved with a massive yin-yang and five elements palm rune. Without hesitation, you grasped this supernatural power seed in your hand.
"Qin Wushang's supernatural power seed. Swallowing it should allow me to learn the inherited Yin-Yang Five Elements Palm he obtained, and also glimpse some of the Great Wu royal family's secret techniques. It's a pity this is Qin Wushang from two thousand years ago. The supernatural powers he created later, as well as some other secret techniques, might not be included in this seed," Lin Changqing thought while holding the supernatural power seed. Undoubtedly, if he could swallow Qin Wushang's supernatural power seed, it would greatly help him. On one hand, it could help him create another Immortal King Body phenomenon. On the other hand, it could help him glimpse some of Qin Wushang's supernatural abilities.
Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory. Understanding Qin Wushang's supernatural powers will help him in future battles with Qin Wushang.
But Lin Changqing also felt some regret. This supernatural power seed was formed from Qin Wushang two thousand years ago. As Lin Changqing knew, after Qin Wushang became emperor, he created supernatural powers over these two thousand years and conquered many ancient ruins, learning many ancient supernatural secret techniques.
If this supernatural power seed could encompass Qin Wushang's self-created supernatural powers and secret techniques from these two thousand years, then Lin Changqing would be satisfied.
"I'm still too greedy. Having this supernatural power seed is already good," Lin Changqing then shook his head and mocked himself. Where in the world would there be so many good things?
He was already fortunate to obtain this two-thousand-year-old supernatural power seed.
Shaking his head, you suppressed those thoughts and then swallowed Qin Wushang's supernatural power seed. At that moment, many of Qin Wushang's supernatural secret techniques flooded into your mind. Stone Dragon Sword Palm, Stone Dragon Fist Technique—these were all inherited from the Great Wu royal family. After observing them, you found them to be indeed marvelous. For example, the Stone Dragon Fist Technique could summon an ancient stone dragon with your fists, enhancing your physical strength.
Next, the Yin-Yang Five Elements Palm flooded into your mind. As expected of an immortal's inherited scripture, you felt it was very profound. You began to slowly comprehend this supernatural power.
Two quarters of an hour later, you completely digested Qin Wushang's supernatural power seed. At this moment, the Immortal King phenomenon behind you was changing. This time, behind you appeared an Immortal King wearing a yin-yang and five elements Daoist robe. He gently struck forward with his palm, and a massive hand appeared, carrying endless chaotic energy. Swallowing Qin Wushang's supernatural power seed allowed you to create another Immortal King phenomenon: the Yin-Yang Immortal King Palm!
"It's time to challenge the hundredth floor." After experiencing the Yin-Yang Five Elements Palm for a while, Lin Changqing began to advance towards the hundredth floor of the jade stairs. He had great anticipation for this floor.
The stage reward for the fiftieth floor was the Heavenly Spirit Pill, and the stage reward for the ninetieth floor was the Earth Essence Iron.
Lin Changqing wanted to see what heaven-defying opportunity the ultimate reward would give him if he broke through the hundredth floor.
At the same time, while you were advancing towards the hundredth floor of the jade stairs, a great uproar arose outside. All the cultivators from the Seven Kingdoms were shocked and astonished because at this moment, your ranking on the stone tablet surpassed Qin Wushang, reaching the first place. What did this mean? The cultivators of the Seven Kingdoms knew too well!
"Look quickly! Lin Changqing's ranking has surpassed Qin Wushang's! This means he has passed the 99th floor, and both he and Qin Wushang are on the 99th floor, but Lin Changqing is ranked first. This can only mean that perhaps the guardian he encountered on the 99th floor was Qin Wushang, and Lin Changqing defeated him in the same realm," a Chu country cultivator said, pointing at the ranking on the stone tablet, shocked and excited. He was extremely excited and thrilled.
The change in the ranking on the stone tablet signified that Lin Changqing had defeated Qin Wushang in the same realm.
And now, Lin Changqing was considered a person of Chu. How could this Chu cultivator not be shocked and excited?
"His Majesty has actually been surpassed! I may be witnessing the changing of an era," a Wu country cultivator murmured in disbelief. Although everyone had been saying that Lin Changqing's talent in the same realm would surpass Qin Wushang's.
But when he saw the ranking on the stone tablet, with Lin Changqing actually surpassing Qin Wushang and reaching first place, this Wu cultivator still felt some emotion because this was a real event happening.
The first place ranking on the stone tablet meant that Lin Changqing had definitely surpassed Qin Wushang in the same realm!
"That's right, we are truly witnessing the changing of an era. In the past, it was Qin Wushang's era, but it is estimated that the future will be Lin Changqing's era. With that said, I really envy Chu for actually recruiting such a prodigy," cultivators from the Seven Kingdoms began to gather together, discussing with shock.
It could only be said that Lin Changqing's surpassing Qin Wushang in the ranking caused an explosive discussion among the crowd at the cave entrance at this moment.
Because for a long time, Qin Wushang had been a massive mountain pressing down on the people of the Seven Kingdoms. He represented invincibility and represented first place.
But now, someone had truly and concretely defeated Qin Wushang and surpassed him. This gave some cultivators from the Six Kingdoms hope, a hope for a future where they could contend against Qin Wushang.
"Congratulations, Princess, for recruiting such a prodigy for our Chu country." On the other side, some Chu cultivators also surrounded the Chu princess to congratulate her. The Chu princess also had a face full of joy. The ranking on the stone tablet once again proved her vision, her investment was not wrong.
On the other side, the Fourth Prince and the Thirteenth Princess were not too happy. Their expressions were not very good. Hearing so many people discussing Lin Changqing surpassing their father, how could they be happy?
The Fourth Prince coldly snorted: "Just a mere jade stairs ranking and he has surpassed my father? What nonsense are you people spouting?"
"That's right, what does the jade stairs ranking count for? And it's just the Nascent Soul realm," the Thirteenth Princess also said with a cold smile. "My father broke the Transformation God limit and reached the Void Return stage. Is a Nascent Soul ranking worth you being so happy about?"
The Fourth Prince and the Thirteenth Princess began to mock the geniuses of the Six Kingdoms, and the cultivators of the Six Kingdoms were not used to it either, and they began to retort one by one.
First was the Chu princess, she directly looked coldly at the Fourth Prince: "The jade stairs ranking is indeed nothing great, it's just that Lin Changqing defeated Qin Wushang in the same realm. And I know you are very anxious, but don't be anxious, Changqing has already broken through the ninety-ninth floor and is challenging the hundredth floor. When the hundredth floor is passed, you two will obediently hand over the Great Sun Golden Crow Body scripture and the Phoenix Divine Tree, and don't give me any sarcastic remarks here!"
"Haha! Lin Changqing has broken through the hundredth floor?" The Fourth Prince laughed loudly. "Stop dreaming. As for me handing over the Great Sun Golden Crow Body scripture, I can only say that your expectations for Lin Changqing to break through the hundredth floor are just a dream!"
