Chapter: 1328 (1/2)
AST 1328 – Infant Betrothal, What is the Strength of False God Realm? Returning Home
“There’s no harm doing that. If they are really unwilling and unable to get along well with each other in the future, then we can forget about it, what do you think? Little lass has too tough of a life but she has great aptitude for cultivation. When I see you, Sir Qing, I think you are the right person. I just wish for Zhengming for a good destiny in the future,” Old Man Puyang said with a smile.
Speaking up to this point, he didn’t expect the old man to still be this insistent. He was really searching to settle his younger one for a good future and thought that Qing Shui was a good choice. But the little lass was to be betrothed to his son instead. Although he could sort of foresee how his son would turn out in the future, this old man really had a pair of sharp eyes.
“If that’s the case, let’s settle it first for now, Old Master. Sorry that little lass had to go through this.” Qing Shui smiled.
“Not at all. It’s an honor for our Puyang Clan,” Old Man Puyang said happily.
A wise old man he was indeed. Qing Shui didn’t even know what to feel about it. The old man naturally knew that Qing Shui would attain great achievements in the future and could probably attain the False God realm and that his offsprings would also attain decent achievements. Qing Shui wondered if there were any False God cultivators among the Puyang Clan. He reckoned that it probably wasn’t that easy for him to also attain strength akin to the Puyang Clan either.
Qing Shui took out quite a lot of good stuff and helped little lass to cleanse her impurities. This little lass would be his future daughter-in-law. He hoped Long’er would get along well with her in the future.
“Old Master, how strong is an Early False God cultivator?” Qing Shui questioned out of curiosity. It was just him and Old Man Puyang in the room anyway.
Little lass had gone off to play with Li Ji.
“A million sun!” Old Man Puyang’s answer was clear-cut.
Qing Shui felt dizzy when he heard that number. It was simply too terrifying. No wonder why even when he saw the False God realm, it was so out of reach like the sun in sky. He could see it but the time required to reach there was too terrifying.
A million sun of strength was required as an Early False God cultivator. It was the supreme being in the Dancing Phoenix Continent as well as in the Soaring Dragon Continent and Haohan Continent. Qing Shui was in a daze for a long moment before he snapped back to reality and saw the old man looking at him with a smile.
“My mind wandered, that’s embarrassing.” Qing Shui smiled back in embarrassment.
“Oh no, Qing Shui. You will definitely reach the realm of the False God in the future,” Old Man Puyang said with a smile. The tone of his voice was very certain.
“Oh? You seem to be very sure of it. I don’t even really believe that myself. Can Old Master tell me the reason?” Qing Shui really wanted to hear Old Man Puyang’s reason.
“Intuition. I can’t really put it into words.”
Old Man Puyang had instantly given Qing Shui an answer that rendered him speechless. It was known that a woman’s intuition was scary but it seemed like this answer wasn’t accurate as a man’s intuition could be very scary too.
“Do any False God cultivators exist in Yehuang Country?”
Old Man Puyang was a supreme figure in the Yehuang Country. Even Qing Shui couldn’t tell his strength, he could only feel that it was deep and immeasurable.
“Yes but there are too few of them. There are also some lingering around the gates of the False God realm, unable to breakthrough.” Old Man Puyang smiled at Qing Shui.
“How strong is a Peak Martial Emperor?” Qing Shui seemed to have suddenly realized this question.
“300,000 sun, some are 500,000 sun. Some stopped growing after attaining 300,000 sun. Some are unable to advance after attaining 500,000 sun. Unless they could breakthrough to the False God realm, they could only stick around there. No one can attain more than 500,000 sun before reaching the False God realm.”
“Thank you, Old Master. This has really broadened my horizons all of a sudden. It’s been a few days since I arrived, I’m wondering if Yehuang Country is governed by dynasties?”
“Yehuang Country is governed by aristocrat clans. The Dancing Phoenix Continent is also mainly governed by aristocrat clans and there’s aristocrat clan alliance. The aristocrat clans in Dancing Phoenix Continents are most powerful. Everything revolves around clans. Supreme aristocratic clans aren’t much different than sects and dynasties,” Old Man Puyang laughed.
Qing Shui stopped questioning Old Man Puyang about strengths. By now, he already had a rough idea of the Yehuang Country’s strength. There were False God cultivators but only a very few. There were probably more in the continent’s capital. Yehuang Country had a few but there were some with 300,000 sun of strength. Perhaps there were also some with 500,000 sun of strength but only a handful.
The moment one broke through to False God realm, his strength would increase by a few folds. The disparity between a cultivator of 300,000 sun and a million sun of strength who attained this realm was simply indescribable. A 300,000 sun wouldn’t be able to lay a finger on a million sun. However, a cultivator of a million sun of strength could easily crush a cultivator of 300,000 or 500,000 sun of strength like an ant. This was the difference between them.
……
In just a flash, it had been more than twenty days since Qing Shui arrived at the Dancing Phoenix Continent. He had already gotten on the right track here. Little did he expect the arts of healing and food to be able to blend into the Yehuang Country so soon. However, the mysterious Yehuang Clan had never come into contact with him. With Yehuang Guwu’s words, Qing Shui naturally would never get involved with the Yehuang Clan on his own accord.
There were beings of False God realm in the Yehuang Country. So it went without saying that there were also False God beings among the Yehuang Clan. To Qing Shui, the Yehuang Clan was like a great tyrant. To be able to become the supreme aristocratic clan in the Yehuang Country, the Yehuang Clan most definitely relied on their strength to control the Yehuang Country. After all, in the world of cultivators, fists do the talking.
Even though Puyang Clan and Dugu Clan appeared to be front ranking supreme aristocratic clans like the Yehuang Clan in the Yehuang Country on the surface, there was quite a big difference between them, much like the dynasties among the Western Oxhe Continent.
Qing Shui wanted to ask if there were any False God cultivators among the Puyang Clan but he didn’t. There were very few cultivators of False God grade in Yehuang Country but he had no idea just to what extent. But now that he knew that there were only a few, it didn’t matter if they existed among the Puyang Clan. He didn’t want to rely on anyone.
The main point right now was Qing Shui shouldn’t get too close to Yehuang Clan. He had a feeling that he would get involved with the Yehuang Clan sooner or later. And the problem with getting involved with them was what he had promised Yehuang Guwu.
“Qing Shui, can you promise me one thing?”
