AST 1749 - Divine Wood Essence, An Unreal Sigh (2/2)

Qing Shui's food were the ones that had been prepared in the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal. With the Paragon Water Shield, he could move like a fish in the water and his origin Qi could push away the surrounding water, reaching a state where there was no water in the vicinity.

This wasn't the first time that Muyun Qingge had eaten Qing Shui's cooking and every time they ate, the meals were always delicious. However, she would feel a little embarrassed after eating, thinking that she had overeaten. As a powerful cultivator, she didn't have to worry about growing fat no matter how much she ate. However, she felt that it wouldn't look good.

”Qing Shui, have you cultivated the Water Spiral?” While eating, Muyun Qingge looked at Qing Shui and asked.

”Erm, I haven't been able to practice that yet. Why?” Qing Shui answered casually.

”It's nothing. I just feel that after reaching four water spirals, I can't progress any further. Moreover, the depletion is also significant.” Muyun Qingge gave it some thoughts and said.

Due to the Five Elements Divine Refining Technique, Qing Shui had a strong understanding of the five elements. He looked at Muyun Qingge and informed her, ”Each of the five elements has their own respective characteristics. Sharpness for metal, violence for fire, serenity for water, life for wood, and heaviness for earth.”

After saying this, Qing Shui paused slightly before he continued with a smile, ”You know about all these. Water flows toward lower grounds, a canal is formed when water flows [1], water gushes down quickly and across a far distance, waves surges and reach sky-high, and water is also merciless.”

Qing Shui spoke in a very slow but slightly heavy tone. He stopped after reciting these and just simply continued to enjoy the meal.

Muyun Qingge was stunned for a moment before she looked at the surroundings. They were now situated in the ocean and she was aware that water was of an extremely gentle nature. However, water and fire were merciless and when the aura was formed, their prowesses were extremely paralyzing. Water flows freely, coming down with the flow of the aura...

Muyun Qingge got motivated and as a result, she rapidly got up and walked far away. Very soon, spirals started to appear around her one after another. After the fourth one appeared, there was no longer any increase in the numbers, but the size of the spirals had doubled in size. Moreover, the speed and force of the spirals brought about an intense killing aura that had more than doubled in intensity.

Most importantly, Muyun Qingge now appeared very relaxed. It was as if she did not need to exert any strength at all and her figure continued to move about in the water, moving freely in the spirals. She could even use the spirals to increase the speed greatly and her silhouette became afterimages and elusive like a ghost.

Very long later, Muyun Qingge had finally come to a stop, wearing a happy smile on her face. She walked up to Qing Shui, saying, ”Thank you.”

”Is this still necessary between us?” Qing Shui didn't look at Muyun Qingge and merely shook his head.

”Let's continue on our way so that we can reach the Sacred Ocean Sound Cave earlier.” Muyun Qingge happily said.

Qing Shui nodded. Waving his hand to retrieve the tent and other items, he got onto the White Jade Dragon together with Muyun Qingge, leaving the area.

Nine Continents Steps.

He continued to use the Nine Continents Steps. By the time they had used the 80th Nine Continents Steps, Qing Shui stopped. This place was an underwater city. The unreal appearance of the surroundings caused Qing Shui to be overwhelmed with astonishment.

Even the world of the ocean domain could be this prosperous. Even more so than places on the ground. It was as if the deeper the ocean region, the more prosperous the world was. There were vast pathways here. Many buildings that were like palaces and endless stretch of other stuff. The visual impact was really strong.
