Chapter: 1375 (1/2)

AST 1375 – Arriving at the Continent’s Capital. Manor, Wicked Servant, Showing Off Strength As A Form of Warning

Qing Shui didn’t know why. Could it be because he cultivated the Ancient Strengthening Technique?

At the False God realm, with the increment to each additional grade, one must go through a False God Tribulation. The False God Tribulation didn’t serve to create disasters for the individual but was a tempering of the physical body. One would only be able to advance to the next grade after passing through the False God Tribulation.

Therefore, the False God Tribulation was a qualitative improvement to a person’s power. It served to stabilize one’s power after the person had attained a breakthrough. Only by passing through the False God Tribulation would the person’s body be able to withstand the explosive increment of powers from the breakthrough.

Could it be that his physical body was strong enough and thus there wasn’t a need for him to go through the False God Tribulation?

It wasn’t as if there was no one who didn’t have to go through the False God Tribulations in this world. There had been some people who didn’t have to experience the False God Tribulations before Grade Five False God.

“If Elder Brother believes in me, come look for me after you’re back from visiting your Master. When the time comes, I’ll talk to you more about it.”

Qing Shui had originally wanted to help Tianhe Renmo strengthen his foundations now. The Five Elements Spring of Life was very amazing. However, on thinking that Tianhe Renmo still had a powerful Master, he didn’t want to let them see what he could do. He didn’t wish to attract unnecessary trouble. Right now, he wasn’t sure how his standing was amongst the strongest in the continent’s capital.

Therefore, Qing Shui decided to render his help after Tianhe Renmo had come back from his Master’s place. By then, with just a little bit more time, Qing Shui’s abilities would progress even further. At that time, he might be able to firm his standing in the continent’s capital.

The continent’s capital shouldn’t be too far from the Demon Lord Palace. The Demon Lord Palace was located in the intersection between the Dancing Phoenix Continent, Soaring Dragon Continent and Haohan Continent. It didn’t belong to any of the three continents.

It was only now that Qing Shui knew that the intersection point between the three continents was also very, very big. There was also the existence of some very powerful forces and Immortal Demons.

Right now, using both his Emperor’s Qi and the Hundred Birds Worshiping The Phoenix, he should be able to help her out, right? He wondered if the things he had given her previously were of any help. This time around, heading to the continent’s capital, he should have more chances to meet her.

Toward her, this lady who was like a goddess of an ice mountain, Qing Shui didn’t know if his feelings were that of love. However, he was after all, her first man. No matter what the situation was, he had to help her. He wanted to help her.

She was the Demon Lord. Qing Shui had no idea if she was someone good or bad. It wasn’t easy to judge if a person was good or not. While a person might appear to be good to one, he might appear to be bad to another.

Qing Shui had the feeling that she wasn’t a bad person. She was classified so for things that were meant to be from a very long time ago. Many of the people who seemed to be on the side of justice were just people wearing the hide of beasts and were worse than bad people.

Moreover, even if she was someone bad, Qing Shui still wanted to help her. In this world which revered power, there was no good or bad. There were only the strong and the weak. Those in power are seen to be the good. There was a reason for every cause. It was just like the rascals in Qing Shui’s previous life. Even if they were to bully people, they would select who they would bully. They tended to like to bully people who liked to put on a facade, even more than they themselves.

Of course, this was just an analogy. Interests were placed above everything and there was no classification of good or bad. The most important thing was survival and development.

“Of course I trust Brother. Alright, after I come back from my Master’s place, I’ll come to look for you.” Tianhe Renmo was full of admiration for Qing Shui’s medical skills and he now was even more admiring of Qing Shui himself.

In their conversation earlier, Qing Shui had confirmed that there was definitely bad blood between Tianhe Renmo and Yelang Clan. However, this seemed to be a matter concerning only the younger generations and the seniors in the clan wouldn’t involve themselves in this. However, the other time, Tianhe Renmo had still brought shame to the Tianhe Clan.

Having lived with such great humiliation for so many years, Tianhe Renmo hadn’t expected that he could still attain a breakthrough to False God. As if he had been born with a new life, Tianhe Renmo’s fighting spirit had increased and he now had plenty of confidence. The event that had happened was when he was still at Peak Martial Emperor.

Therefore, as long as he could reach Grade Two False God, Tianhe Renmo definitely had a chance. At Peak Grade One False God, he could ensure that he would at least not lose. This was the reason he had come to the continent’s capital. So many years had passed. He had no idea how that person in Yelang Clan was doing right now. And there was also her. She was the pain that would stick with Tianhe Renmo for life.

…

They continued to travel for over a month, even with the Nine Continents Steps. In the middle, Qing Shui had gone back to Qing Clan once but only stayed for a night before he returned.

With Yehuang Guwu around, it was easy for him to come and go. At night, they would rest but they would continue to travel at all other times. The Nine Continents Steps had allowed them to reduce the time by several fold.

Dancing Phoenix Continent!

The Dancing Phoenix Continent was too vast. Looking at the majestic mountains and rivers, the vast and boundless city seemed to exude a dignified aura. A man must hold great aspirations. Standing in the air and looking at this scene, Qing Shui felt an indescribable sense of comfort.

“Elder Brother, you should go to visit your Master first. We’ll first look for a place to stay before we think of the place where we’ll set up a branch for the Imperial Cuisine Hall,” Qing Shui gave it some thought and said.

“There’s no need for that. Although the Tianhe Clan isn’t located in the continent’s capital, we have quite a number of assets in the continent’s capital. There’s a manor that we have that’s very suitable for you to set up the Imperial Cuisine Hall. I’ll bring you guys there,” Tianhe Renmo smiled and said.

“Oh? Then we shan’t stand on ceremony then,” Qing Shui smiled and said.

“I’ll feel bad if you do. I don’t have many friends but you’re definitely my best friend. My life and what I have today are all given by you. Even if you were to take them away, I wouldn’t say a word.”
