AST 2245 – Two Battle Gods’ Request for Battle

Qing Shui didn’t expect the Divine Palace’s Guardian Beast to gift him something as great as the ‘Refining Golden Cave’.

However, the possession of a Golden Cave was the pre-requisite to using it.

Qing Shui had some knowledge about the Golden Cave now. It was a Saint level cave. However, it wasn’t the same Saint as Martial Saints. This Saint was to address Martial Saint Cultivation.

A Saint Cave was stronger than the normal caves, with the ability to defend against three of the usual. It would only grow stronger with time, much like how Qing Shui’s Golden Cave was a lot stronger after being refined. One Golden Cave of his might be able to defend against eight normal caves now.

‘Refining Golden Cave’ could only be used to refine a Golden Cave. Qing Shui only had one Golden Cave. If only all of them were Golden Caves, how invincible would he be?

Qing Shui’s line of thought left him feeling unsatisfied as he kept the ‘Refining Golden Cave’ in the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal.

Departing from the rear mountain, Qing Shui returned to the courtyard. Upon Qing Shui’s recovery, many visitors left on the second day.

Beihuang Fan and Shen Huang both stayed behind.

Shen Huang joined the Divine Palace. Of course, the Phoenix Organization was still hers, and she was merely a custodian at the Divine Palace. To put it simply, she wasn’t required to participate in anything; it was a position without obligations. It wasn’t clear what the Golden Battle God had told them, but both Shen Huang and Beihuang Fan became their custodians.

Qing Shui got to know the reason soon after. Even though the Golden Battle God had retired from his position and had a good number of years left in his life, he still had personal issues to attend to. He anticipated that he wouldn’t be able to help with the Divine Palace after he was done with them.

Hence, he was passing on the Divine Palace’s Palace Lord title to Qing Shui.

Qing Shui wanted to decline, but with others in the Divine Palace wishing for him to take over the title as well, he knew he didn’t have a choice. In the end, he took over the title and became the Divine Palace’s Palace Lord.

Qing Shui’s thoughts subconsciously drifted to the Demon Gate at the title. Shaking his head, he didn’t dare dwell on it and forced himself to forget about the issue. He was no longer alone in this and neither his family nor the Divine Palace could do without him, so he had to be mature. Even if he had no fear of dying, he couldn’t just throw his life away.

Qing Shui wanted to probe about issues the Golden Battle God had, to see if he could be of any assistance. However, the old Golden Battle God merely responded that it was personal and posed no danger, just a bit of complication that required his interference.

The Golden Battle God told the two women that Qing Shui would soon be taking over the title of Palace Lord and sought their help to assist him. It was obvious that they wouldn’t decline such a request.

During this period in the Divine Palace, Qing Shui trained, discussed the situation beyond their walls, as well as any movement from other powerful groups.

Nuo Lan was providing the Divine Palace with the latest updates and was prompt in doing so. She continually fed reports on information gathered to Qing Shui and in just a short amount of time, it changed him. He looked even more reliable now, perhaps his white hair had something to do with that.

Qing Shui realized how much effort it took to operate a huge clan as well, especially when there were strong contenders around them.

If the Divine Palace had been the strongest in their area as they were in the past, then things might have been easier. There would be no worry about being assaulted and likewise, there wouldn’t be as much pressure.

Establishing a formation!

Qing Shui still had to establish a formation in the Divine Palace using even stronger materials than the last. After all, their enemies now were a lot more terrifying than those they had before.

Flagpoles crafted from the refined bones, and flags made from the skin of Divine grade demonic beasts.

The Treasure Basin and the Hundred Treasure Chest increased the quality of these items by a significant margin, before Qing Shui used his Primordial Flames to smelt it over days. With their limited energy, they manufactured approximately two hundred of those formation flags. These things were still useful to Qing Shui.
