AST 2254 Maximum Grand Perfection, 700 Billion Dao Defense (1/2)

AST 2254 – Maximum Grand Perfection, 700 Billion Dao Defense

Just like that, Qing Shui advanced and retreated for a long time before he reached the peak. His body was aching all over, and he was exhausted. It had been a long time since he felt this exhausted, but he realized during the process that his fighting spirit was strong. He reached his goal.

When he returned, he thanked the Sky-Obstructing Crow once more and trained his body there every day thereafter.

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

Qing Shui could block the rolling boulders which were as big as a small hill now without moving. He could reach the peak of the mountain without a single backstep and there weren’t many bruises on his body anymore. At this moment, he knew that it was time for the next step.

He began to carry a huge boulder that was also the size of a small hill. With its size, it was awkward for Qing Shui to carry it on his back and so he held it up instead. The moment he carried it, he sensed the increase in difficulty.

Thump!

After a distance, a dull thumping sound rang out. Qing Shui maintained a death grip on the mountain peak but was still cast aside from the impacts. Both Qing Shui and the boulder he was carrying were thrown back to the starting line.

After two days, his arms were incomparably tired and swollen. Reaching the peak was difficult enough, and with the terrifying clashes, Qing Shui wasn’t able to keep his hold.

Qing Shui’s perseverance was unquestionable. Lifting the boulder again, he proceeded forward once more before being knocked back again. Without realizing it, half a day passed as Qing Shui went to and fro. The first day was spent just like that.

As soon as he reached the surroundings of the peak, Qing Shui felt a surge of strength. Qing Shui deliberately stripped himself of Origin Qi when he started, just as the Sky-Obstructing Crow reminded. He knew now that he wouldn’t be able to use it even if he wanted to. He supposed the Sky-Obstructing Crow only reminded him in case he was able to use it.

Everything regarding the Divine Palace was on the right track. Qing Shui would help to tend to some medical consultations from time to time but not for long. He spent the majority of his time at the giant waterfall as half a year went by.

Qing Shui was able to carry a giant boulder and reach the peak of the mountain now.

This was an improvement. A tiny silhouette was seen carrying a giant boulder as it went towards the peak step by step. If anyone were to find out that this was possible, they would be startled beyond words.

This was an abandoned Divine Mountain. It retained a type of restrictions which confined the powers of people within it to a certain degree. Origin Qi couldn’t be used in here no matter how strong it was outside. It was extremely difficult to walk against the strong currents. Perhaps only selected purebred demonic beasts would be able to.

Qing Shui withstood the enormous current which defied nature, like a huge wave in the ocean. His silhouette was tiny amidst it, yet he carried a huge boulder which peeked out from the water. Half of it was submerged, resisting against the currents. How much strength was needed to pull this off…

Step by step without retreat. No matter how big the rocks which fell from the currents were, Qing Shui refused to let them push him back. He had faith and his feet stayed rooted to the ground. He took each step bravely on the endless route towards the peak. The mountain there was infinitely taller than the tallest mountain he had seen in his previous life.

Standing atop the peak, Qing Shui was calm. He threw the boulder down. At the start, Qing Shui wasn’t be able to reach the mountain peak in just a day of walking due to its height. Then, he could do it faster, with bigger strides.

Qing Shui could now run up the mountain, each step requiring an immense amount of effort.

His body glowed like pure gold now with a soft golden ray illuminating around him. Qing Shui felt an explosive amount of power. The moment he stepped out of the Despondent Divine Mountain, it surged through his entire body.
