AST Chapter: 635! (1/2)

AST 635 - The heaven-defying Nine Continent Boots, Village of Mo Clan, Everything goes off without a hitch!

The Village of Mo Clan used to be a really famous village in the past. At one point, it was not at all inferior to the current Village of Longevity. Even though it had suffered a decline later, its former reputation had still been passed on to the present day.

Every cultivator with a certain level of ability would have heard about the history of the Village of Mo Clan. It was just that there were very few people left who knew about the village’s exact location.

After finding out about the location of the Village of Mo Clan from Di Xuan, Qing Shui realized that it would only take him a day to go there.

He remembered that Village of Mo Clan was at the bottom of Fire Plume Mountain, but without knowing the location, he still would have to spend some time to search for it.

Actually, Qing Shui was still hesitant on his course of action. He still had enough time to look for Lady Duanmu because he had the formidable Nine Continents Steps Effect of his Nine Continent’s Boots.

He had another three days left and with Qing Shui’s Nine Continents Steps Effect and the speed of the Fire Bird, it would only take him at most two days to rush back there. Even though it would technically save him a day if he went to Village of Mo Clan, he would still have to search for it.

“Qing Shui, will you be able to manage to rush back here in three days? Actually, if you are able to weaken our opponent down to around my level, I’m quite confident that I would be able to deal with him.” Di Xuan explained after thinking for a while.

“Senior Di, are you sure that it would take Old Freak Ba three days to rush here?” Qing Shui had been contemplating this for quite a while. He feared that Old Freak Ba would turn up as soon as he left. If that were to happen, all of his efforts would truly have been for naught.

As he thought about it, cold sweat started dripping down his body. If Old Freak Ba had a treasure as heaven-defying as his Nine Continent’s Boots, the consequences of that would be unimaginable.

However, given the current situation, Qing Shui felt that the Di Clan wouldn’t be able to contest Old Freak Ba unless he looked for a person to assist them.

“Senior Di, please point out the direction to the Village of Mo Clan. I will make it back in the morning two days from now at the latest. If all goes well, I will be able to rush back here by tomorrow.”

“Don't worry, I have something special and can travel really quickly. I'm sure that I will be able to make it back in time.” Qing Shui said with a confident tone.

“Alright! Even though I should’ve dealt with this matter myself, I'll show you the way.” Di Xuan led Qing Shui out the room.

Qing Shui shook his head. He knew that Di Xuan suspected that he might flee on his own but didn’t explain himself, knowing he could only express his dedication through his actions. Furthermore, given what Di Xuan knew about the way to the Village of Mo Clan, he believed that it would be almost impossible for Qing Shui to make it back by the day after tomorrow.

These reasons were why Di Xuan assumed Qing Shui was intending to flee. As he had no way to stop it, he sighed in his heart as he Skywalked into the air.

“Can you see the mountain? If you head straight in that direction, you will arrive in Fire Plume Mountain. The Village of Mo Clan is right below Fire Plume Mountain.” Di Xuan showed Qing Shui the way to Village of Mo Clan.

“There is no time to lose. Even though I am just an ordinary person, I am someone who keeps his promises.” Qing Shui waved his hand at Di Xuan. After that, he revolved his Qi of the Ancient Strengthening Technique according to the Nine Continents Steps.

Di Xuan waved back at Qing Shui, and as the latter’s figure became more and more blurry, everyone had an expression of shock. At the moment, Di Xuan actually believed that what Qing Shui said was true.

At the same time, his face also started feeling hot. There were many people who harboured his same thoughts, other than Di Fenxing, who did not change his opinion.

To Qing Shui, time passed as if it was simultaneously an instant and ten years. As soon as Qing Shui recovered his wits, he found himself around a desolate mountain. He looked around the surroundings before summoning the Diamond Gigantic Elephant.

He followed the directions given to him and rushed straight ahead!

This was because Qing Shui could see the figure of a red mountain in the distance. It looked like a burning feather from far away...

Fire Plume Mountain!

Qing Shui could already recognize the mountain with just one glance. The Village of Mo Clan was located right at its bottom.

Qing Shui stopped hesitating and made his way there riding the Diamond Gigantic Elephant. Even though the mountain was visible, it was still a few thousand li away from him. However, with the elephant’s speed, it would take him around one hour to reach it.

Very soon, Qing Shui was already close to Fire Plume Mountain. The Fire Plume Mountain was considered average in size, as it was a thousand meters tall and extended out by ten li. He could clearly see that the area was actually a volcanic zone, with the surrounding temperature being much higher compared to other places.

In addition to that, the stones here were colored red. They looked like burning stones from far away.

Qing Shui stood in the middle of the air and looked down the mountain. Perhaps because it was a volcano, the mountain was bald and smooth. However, at the bottom of the mountain, there was some sparse vegetation.

The Village of Mo Clan!

Qing Shui kept repeating as he used his eyes to search. Eventually, he descended to a lower height and started searching more quickly. After all, there were tens of miles to search through and he couldn't see the entire area just with one glance. It was still considered quite a tough task to look for a small village in such a large area.

Suddenly, Qing Shui saw some smoke from far away, at an area behind a hill. Qing Shui felt excited and hurriedly ordered the Diamond Gigantic Elephant to fly faster towards the direction of the smoke.

As soon as he crossed the hill, he saw some old and simple houses. Each of the houses was surrounded by a gate and the cries of pets could be heard.

Qing Shui sent the Diamond Gigantic Elephant back into the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal and walked towards the village on the hill.

Nearby, there were three men who were approaching him, wearing Beast skins and holding some simple weapons. They all had a masculine build and their exposed muscles looked well defined and shiny. They were chatting with each other as they walked towards him.

“Hello uncles, is this the Village of Mo Clan?” Qing Shui smiled as he asked the three middle-aged men.
