Chapter 119 Half Saint
A series of images flashed through Zhou Qing's mind.

The process of merging the grotto-heavens was not always smooth sailing. There were often collisions and conflicts between the laws, but with his profound understanding and perception of the laws, he was always able to make timely adjustments so that the merging could proceed smoothly.

Images flashed by rapidly.

As time went on, the fusion of the grotto-heavens quickly came to an end.

Finally, at a certain moment, all the caves merged into one, and a brand new world was born within Zhou Qing's body.

The diameter of this nascent world was ten times larger than that of the cave heaven, and it already possessed all the basic elements of a world, including laws, space, time, matter, and so on. However, it lacked one of the most important components.

This composition is life.

If life is born, then a world can be considered a complete world; otherwise, a world without life is a lifeless world.

The creation of the world, the birth of life, is what distinguishes a semi-saint from a true saint.

There is true life in the world created by the saints.

These beings believe in their Creator, who provides a continuous source of spiritual strength.

Only a world with true life can be considered a complete world, and only such a world can be recognized by the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, thus granting saints even greater power and status.

Because of this, a sage can entrust his true spirit to the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

As long as the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth remains, the sage will never die.

After all the grotto-heavens merged and he broke through to the semi-saint realm, Zhou Qing's aura finally stabilized.

"Half Saint!"

Zhou Qing took a deep breath.

When he entered the Origin World, his cultivation level was only at the first level of the Dao Law Realm, but after a year, his cultivation level broke through to the Half-Saint Realm.

Such speed is simply astonishing; if others knew, they would probably be completely shocked.

After all, a semi-saint realm expert is a top-tier existence even in the entire Land of Saints, and their combat strength is not much different from that of a saint.

The only difference is the property of immortality.

Zhou Qing, however, broke through from the first level of the Dao Realm to the Half-Saint Realm in just one year. Such a cultivation speed was simply unheard of and unseen.

Zhou Qing concealed his aura, maintaining his level at the sixth level of the Daoist Realm.

With his cultivation level, as long as he doesn't actively reveal his strength, even a saint would find it difficult to tell that he has reached the half-saint realm unless they personally investigate.

Breaking through from the first level of the Daoist Realm to a half-saint in just one year is too astonishing, so Zhou Qing felt he should keep a low profile and hide his strength.

The safest approach is to wait until one breaks through to the Saint level, where one's true spirit is entrusted to the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, becoming immortal and indestructible, before revealing one's cultivation.

After all, the tallest tree in the forest will be felled by the wind.

Zhou Qing didn't want to attract unnecessary trouble because his cultivation was progressing too quickly. Only by breaking through to the Saint Realm as soon as possible could he ensure his own safety.

hum~~~
The array in the Origin World has been activated.

Everyone was teleported out of the Origin World.

No one could resist this power. It was an array set up by the combined efforts of the saints of the Holy Land, including even a supreme saint.

This is naturally to prevent anyone from staying in the Origin World indefinitely without leaving.

Therefore, the saints took action and set up an array throughout the entire Origin World. Once the array is activated, the beings within will be teleported out.

Even a true saint cannot resist this power.

Zhou Qing reappeared in the Taixu Holy Land.

"Junior brother, not bad! Your cultivation has actually broken through to the sixth level of the Dao Law Realm."

"He caught up with Fifth Junior Sister in just one year."

Zhou Qing's senior brothers and sisters gathered around, their eyes filled with amazement and envy.

"You flatter me, senior brothers and sisters," Zhou Qing replied humbly. "I still need to work harder to catch up with everyone."

Upon hearing this, his senior brothers and sisters all laughed and encouraged Zhou Qing to continue his efforts. "Now that I have broken through to the Half-Saint Realm, I can return to the Mountain and Sea Realm and bring more people into the Chaotic Heaven Realm."

Zhou Qing thought to himself.

He had promised the sect leader of the Yutian Sect that once he had the ability, he would lead the Yutian Sect disciples to the Land of Saints for cultivation.

In fact, he doesn't even need to take action himself.

Given his status in the Taixu Holy Land, as a direct disciple of the Supreme Elder, he only needs to give an order, and someone will naturally do it for him.

However, Zhou Qing himself also wanted to return to the Mountain and Sea Realm to take a look.

With this in mind, Zhou Qing explained the situation to the Third Elder and then left the Taixu Holy Land, heading to Tianhuo City of the Dayu Dynasty.

The Myriad Realms Palace in Skyfire City possesses the world coordinates for returning to the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Using a spatial teleportation array that extends beyond the distance, one can directly return to the Mountain and Sea Realm. Otherwise, even with Zhou Qing's cultivation level as a half-saint, it would take a very long time to travel via the ancient road.

……

……

Mountain and sea realm.

Four years have passed since Zhou Qing left.

In these four years, the world of mountains and seas has also undergone tremendous changes.

After Zhou Qing left, although the saints of the demon world could not shake the World Cauldron, they could still secretly transfer their power to control some martial artists in the capital and gradually grow stronger.

In the third year after Zhou Qing left, he mobilized these people to launch a blood sacrifice.

They used blood sacrifice to pollute the national destiny that was blessed upon the world's cauldron.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the demon saint shook the World Cauldron, revealing another spatial rift. Although this spatial rift was not as large as the previous one, countless demons still poured out from it.

Even with their Mahayana-level spiritual weapons, reclusive sects can only remain confined to their blessed grotto-heavens.

Outside of the blessed lands, the area was basically occupied by demons.

At this moment.

Countless demons are also attacking the hidden sects.

Furthermore, after a year of development.

That spatial rift is also capable of accommodating demons and monsters at the seventh level of the Celestial Realm or higher.

The major hidden sects are in grave danger.

at this time!

On a deserted island overseas.

There was a flash of light.

Zhou Qing's figure appeared in the spatial teleportation array.

"Hmm, so many demons!"

In an instant, Zhou Qing's holy sense spread out, enveloping the entire Mountain and Sea Realm, and then he discovered that the Mountain and Sea Realm was almost entirely occupied by demons.

"It seems that a lot has happened in the Mountain and Sea Realm while I was away."

Zhou Qing muttered to himself, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

However, at this point, he was no longer the person who had just left the Mountain and Sea Realm.

At that time, he only had the cultivation level of the first level of the Celestial Realm, but now he has reached the level of a Half-Saint.

He was not afraid of anything except the arrival of a saint from the demon realm.

He killed as many demons as came.
