Chapter: 1387 (2/2)
Thus, Qing Shui wasn’t aware of the strength beyond Grade Five False God realm. He had only gotten to know that it was a dividing range after asking around but no one was certain about the exact amount of strength.
Raising one’s strength would be increasingly difficult towards the end, so one would find themselves lingering around the same level most of the time. Therefore, attaining the False God realm didn’t guarantee a smooth ride ahead. Every False God Tribulation was as challenging as trying to breakthrough the False God Realm.
Peak Grade Five False God required a strength of 16 million sun of strength. Although Qing Shui could almost reach this amount of strength using the Paragon Heavenly Technique, he was worried that his opponent would possess the same technique too.
Grade One, Two and Three False God cultivators wouldn’t possess the heavenly technique. Only cultivators whose strength had exceeded 10 million sun possessed this technique. Cultivators would possess only one heavenly technique or one killing battle technique after attaining every 10 million sun of strength. This meant cultivator would receive one heavenly technique upon attaining 10 million sun of strength, another additional heavenly technique upon 20 million sun, then another additional heavenly technique upon 30 million sun and so on.
At this point of time, Qing Shui already had three heavenly techniques in his possession. Furthermore, the Paragon Golden Armor technique was a passive heavenly technique that cost no energy consumption. Compared to his other heavenly techniques, Qing Shui favored this more. With the Paragon Golden Armor technique, his body could instantly be turned into an indestructible diamond body.
He had not met a Grade Four False God cultivator in the continent’s capital so far. At least two among the three leaders of this group had attained the Grade Four False God realm, possessing about 10 million sun of strength. However, it was uncertain if they possess any heavenly techniques.
Qing Shui didn’t allow Yehuang Guwu and Yuan Su to step out. He tasked them to look after Qing Jun. Initially, Yehuang Guwu insisted on stepping out but Qing Shui stopped her and asked her to believe in him.
Tianhe Renmo stayed beside Yehuang Guwu since Qing Shui requested for him to protect the two ladies and Qing Jun.
“Do you want to kill yourself or do you want me to do it for you? If I have to do it, you will die a terrible death.”
One of the leaders was an old man with snowy white long hair and eyebrows that reached all the way down his waist. His cloudy eyes were void of emotions, not even anger.
The others stayed silent. However, some were glaring at Qing Shui pointedly while the others were giving him a death stare.
“I am very curious. How does such an arrogant clan manage to survive up to now?”
Despite Qing Shui’s words, he knew that these people weren’t actually showing too much arrogance. After all, considering the fact that he had killed so many people from Che Clan and the high position where these people had always been in, their words had merely expressed their anger over this incident.
“Whether or not Che Clan is arrogant is none of your business. Since you have killed people from the Che Clan, you will need to be ready to face us.” The old man wasn’t angry or at least he didn’t seem to be angry. His voice was extremely icy, firm but very calm.
“I’m getting really lazy to talk about this. I won’t provoke anyone on my own accord but I’m not afraid of anyone who is blind enough to provoke me either. If a mad dog bites me, I will beat it to death so that it won’t be able to bite anyone else again,” Qing Shui said softly but his words were very clearly conveyed.
“Young man, you are the arrogant one. You don’t know patience. It will be very easy for you to end up on the losing side. Only the powerful are entitled to arrogance. Even if you want to be arrogant, you will also need to learn how to do it appropriately. Otherwise, you will be beaten to a pulp soon.” At this moment, the old man’s eyes lit up but the death Qi around him was very thick.
Qing Shui could sense that the old man’s cultivation must be very special. Otherwise, he couldn’t have such intense death Qi around him.
“The inheritance of Che Clan has gone on for quite a long time. Long enough to diminish the magnificent aspiration and ambition it once have in the past. The rise and decline of a clan is a repetitive cycle. Perhaps this time, Che Clan is at the decline of its cycle.” Qing Shui wasn’t provoked.
“You think too highly of yourself.” The old man trembled. He wasn’t the only one. Qing Shui’s words had made the other people feel very unpleasant too.
“Well then, let me present you a song. Perhaps all of you might be able to feel something.”
Qing Shui didn’t bother to hear their response and immediately pulled out a five-string zither. The instrument was silently placed in front of him. Qing Shui then reached out and effortlessly strummed it downwards, producing a cheerful melody in the air. It gave off a tranquil feeling that transported people into a world with blooming flowers, beautiful spring sunshine, and little animals playing with each other, accompanied by melodious birdsong and the fragrance of flowers….
Zheng zheng…
The scenery transitioned the very next moment into a dangerous place, deep in the mountains. Wilderness stretched as far as the eye can see. Standing alone in the midst of this empty barren land that was completely void of vitaly between the heaven and earth, the wind blew violently…
Zheng zheng…
Many ferocious, lofty and huge demonic beasts with deadly jaws suddenly appeared in the surroundings. These demonic beasts were sinister and terrifyingly disgusting with an overwhelming stench. Meeting any of these in a desolate and hopeless circumstance could make one give up on even resisting.
“AAAAHHH!”
One of the old leading men suddenly yelled very loudly. Some other people in the surrounding snapped back to reality as if they had just woken up from a dream. Those with lower strength were still lost in the illusion and seemed to have lost the spirit in their body.
“What is your relation to the Divine Sound Sect?” The leading old man asked with a frown.
Divine Sound Sect?
Qing Shui didn’t make a move or any sound. He was clueless about the Divine Sound Sect. However, he could see fear and hostility in the old man’s eyes.
