He's in the Marvel universe, and his first step is marrying Scarlet Witch.

Chapter 597 Advancement to Quasi-Saint (Second Update)

……

Fifteen years later, inside the newly rebuilt Lingxiao Palace in Heaven.

Looking at the 365 righteous gods below, the Jade Emperor couldn't help but burst into laughter:

"Li Jing, Nezha, the Four Heavenly Kings, the Twenty-Eight Constellations, the Nine Luminaries, the Twelve Earthly Branches, the Five Directions Protectors, the Four Duty Officers, the Twenty-Four Thunder Gods, the Thirty-Six Heavenly Stars, and the Forty-Two Earthly Fiends. Hahaha! My Heavenly Court is now brimming with talent!"

After laughing, he exchanged a glance with the Queen Mother, who was also smiling broadly, and then shouted again:

"From now on, I, the Empress, and the Three Realms will rely on you all!"

All the righteous gods of Heaven immediately bowed and expressed their loyalty:

"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

"Alas, it's a pity that Li Qing was unwilling to serve as an official in the Heavenly Court, otherwise my Heavenly Court would have nothing to fear!"

Finally, the Jade Emperor sighed with some regret.

When the gods below heard Li Qing's name, they couldn't help but tremble. Most of them had died at Li Qing's hands before being listed on the Investiture of the Gods and forced to become gods in the Heavenly Court.

"It's not a pity, that guy isn't so easy to control."

The Queen Mother thought to herself.

After so much time, she finally realized that the attack on the Heavenly Court by Yang Jian and his two siblings was most likely orchestrated by Li Qing.

However, she had no evidence, so she couldn't say it.

The main reason is that there is no conflict between the two sides now, so she doesn't need to offend such a powerful and well-connected disciple of the Chan Sect, especially since he has a wide circle of friends.

However, she didn't want someone like that to enter the Heavenly Court.

Because someone like Li Qing is not like a brainless child like Nezha; he is not easy to control and could easily be outmaneuvered.

Meanwhile, Li Chuan, who was being discussed by the Heavenly Court, was in seclusion in the Golden Cloud Cave.

"We really had to give it our all to get these magical treasures!"

Looking at the magical treasures before him, Li Chuan smiled with satisfaction.

The Four Saints of Kowloon Island: the Heaven-Opening Pearl, the Earth-Splitting Pearl, and the Primordial Pearl.

The Plague God Lü Yue's Heavenly Seal, Plague Bell, Plague-Fixing Sword, Plague-Slaying Umbrella.

Luo Xuan's Flying Smoke Sword, Five Dragon Wheel, Ten Thousand Miles of Clouds and Smoke, Illuminating Heaven Seal, and Ten Thousand Crow Pot.

Yu Yuan's Blood-Transforming Divine Blade, Ruyi Qiankun Bag, and Golden Light File.

Wu Yunxian's Hunyuan Hammer and Jin Xian's Golden Hoop.

The Sun and Moon Pearl of the Tortoise Spirit Mother and the Four Symbols Tower and Dragon and Tiger Ruyi of the Golden Spirit Mother.

And most importantly, Zhao Gongming's magic weapon, the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls.

In any battle of magic, Li Chuan would always be the first to charge forward. Because he knew the characteristics of the various magical treasures of the Jie Sect, he used his various abilities to break through and kill his opponents to obtain the magical treasures.

In terms of cultivation, he is definitely in the top tier below the Saints, and in terms of physical strength, few can rival him.

As for magical artifacts, although they are not the strongest, they still combine artifacts from various worlds and high-tech products, so they are barely acceptable.

As for magical arts and supernatural powers, there are far too many to count. They can handle almost anything from ninjutsu, magic, Taoist arts, dragon roars, and cosmic techniques from various worlds.

Most importantly, he still has the trump card of the Tsukuyomi world.

So apart from the battle with Zhao Gongming, which was a bit tough, everything else was actually fine.

Since these were spoils of war he had fought to the death for, his other senior uncles and aunts were naturally too embarrassed to accept them, and they all ended up in his possession.

"The Evolution of the Heavens!"

Within his microcosm, Li Chuan dispersed the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls to all directions of the Tsukuyomi world, then channeled the boundless magical power within his body to activate the laws of the Tsukuyomi world.

Using the previously sealed souls of Poseidon, Hades, and the Twin Gods, along with the embryonic form of the Celestials possessing the power of creation, as fuel, the Tsukuyomi world as a furnace, and magic as a bridge, it was constructed.

He began refining all the spiritual treasures, extracting their laws and distributing them into the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls.

Finally, using the method of world evolution obtained from the Primordial Celestial Venerable, they began to gradually evolve the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls into the twenty-four heavens.

Because of Li Chuan's merits and achievements in the Investiture of the Gods, Yuanshi Tianzun specially summoned him alone afterward and gave him a sermon, which can be regarded as an extra reward from his master.

In other words, after listening to the teachings of the sage Yuanshi Tianzun, he thoroughly understood the method of becoming a sage through the evolution of the heavens.

If before he only had some ideas and needed to explore how to implement them, now he has completely understood all the steps.

Just like the entire universe of the ancient scroll, which evolved from a powerful being's head, Li Chuan will similarly evolve worlds within the microcosm of his body.

Centered on the Tsukuyomi world, it connects to twenty-four evolving Sea-Stabilizing Pearls scattered around it. When each Sea-Stabilizing Pearl evolves into a world as complete as the Tsukuyomi world, he will become a saint.

After obtaining the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls, Daoist Ran Deng also followed this path.

However, he lacked sufficient reference points, and the twenty-four heavens that he evolved were merely twenty-four incomplete worlds, unable to give birth to life or enter the cycle of reincarnation, thus failing to form a complete world system.

Therefore, in the end he could only become a quasi-saint.

But Li Chuan is different. He has already built a complete Tsukuyomi world. As long as the Twenty-Four Heavens evolve successfully, and then the main world Tsukuyomi world is copied, a real system can be formed.

Life is born in every world, and after death, all beings enter a hell formed by soul mounds, where they begin the cycle of reincarnation.

After advancing to the level of a saint, one can continue to evolve more worlds. Once a thousand worlds have been evolved, one can advance to the level of a Great Thousand World, which is the true Heavenly Dao Saint, an existence no less than that of Hongjun Ancestor.

"Ah~~~"

As the souls of Poseidon, Hades, and the Gemini Gods gradually dissipated amidst screams, the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls rapidly expanded, beginning to evolve into various worlds.

Li Chuan's cultivation level was also boosted by the world's origin, soaring upwards like a rocket.

Once you reach the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, any further advancement would take tens of thousands of years, and even then, it might not be possible.

However, in such a short time, he had already risen from the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal to the late stage, and then from the late stage to the peak. Furthermore, when the Twenty-Four Heavens were formed, he directly broke through to the Quasi-Saint level.

Next come the early, middle, and late stages of Quasi-Sainthood.

Then, just as Li Chuan was holding his breath, intending to fully evolve the Twenty-Four Heavens into life, the entire evolution suddenly came to an abrupt halt, and his cultivation level also stopped at the late Quasi-Saint stage.

"Are you out of steam?"

It turns out that the Sea Emperor, the Underworld Emperor, the Twin Gods, the Celestial Gods, and all the spiritual treasures they had seized during the Investiture of the Gods war had been exhausted.

Even if it weren't completely depleted, it probably wouldn't be possible to advance to the Saint level. The Saint level isn't easy to reach; to advance to the Saint level, one needs an even stronger opportunity.

"Time flies, my little world of time is almost up."

The evolution of the heavens felt like a fleeting moment to him, but in reality, more than a decade had passed.
