AST 2260 – Young Black Ice Divine Worm, Nine Continents Martial Association
The spawns of the Black Ice Divine Worm that Qing Shui had obtained previously were now still weak and small. Qing Shui left it to the Dragon Spider to take care of them. After all, he wouldn’t be able to stay in the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal every minute of every day. On the contrary, he spent more time away from it.
A day away was about a year or more in the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal.
This was the strength of the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal. They aged within the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal, but the time passed was calculated based on the outside world, such as lifespan.
Qing Shui could only spend about six hours in the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal daily which equated to about three months.
No matter how strong demonic beasts were, their younglings were weak, especially the period right after birth. Some pure-blooded desolate beasts could be strong in their early stages but fragile as usual in their infancy stage. However, the wild beasts were still cautious of being near them. Those without intelligence would be suppressed and startled by their aura, to the extent where they wouldn’t be able to stand.
With intelligence though, comes risks. After all, strong demonic beasts were filled with nourishment. Once devoured, it could improve cultivation. The stronger and valuable the demonic beast, the higher number of treasures to be found with it. It could replenish Origin Qi, which was the most basic, and it could increase strength.
In the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal, the Black Ice Divine Worm’s younglings wouldn’t be preyed on. The newborn Black Ice Divine Worm was about the size of a fist, its body sparkling and translucent, the pair of black eyes were filled with spirit. They were the result of rounds of strengthening.
Not just that, Qing Shui had used his Nine Yang Force on them as well. These things were stronger than the usual younglings of the Black Ice Divine Worm. Their innate skills and aptitude doubled from the normal.
Once they had been born, Qing Shui used several valuable medicines and soaked them in the Heavenly and Earthly Treasures. He built a strong foundation for them since their weakest period.
After a few days, and a few years in terms of the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal, the Black Ice Divine Worm grew to the thickness of an adult’s waist. It was about five meters in length, filled with power and spirit.
Qing Shui didn’t panic. He decided not to use medicinal pills to rush their growth. The Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal was the best method for that to happen.
Snapping back to reality, Qing Shui hoped the Black Ice Divine Worm’s younglings could mature in haste. It would be a terrifying existence to his advantage by then.
The Xigong Clan shifted the Seven Stars Herbs away without anyone speaking another word. Many had left in search of other medicinal herbs. After all, the Seven Stars Herb weren’t the only things to be found; there were other panaceas which were just as good.
The Sea Moving Immortal Palace managed to get their hands on a stalk of Scarlet Fruit without anyone breathing a word either. Even the rude and unreasonable Xigong Clan stayed silent.
“Give up the Nebula Flower and we’ll spare your life.” A voice sounded from ahead. There were five people surrounding a cool and nonchalant young man.
The young man was holding onto a stalk of herbs which looked akin to clouds. Its aroma filled the space all around them, like something out of a dream. With just a look, it was obvious that it wasn’t anything ordinary. He was now crowded by five other men.
“Who’s the young man?”
“I don’t know, but the five men are the Five Dragons of Kaoshan City’s Cheng Clan.” Someone else piped up.
“Five Dragons? More like Five Worms. Strutting around Kaoshan City using their long distant relatives’ reputation,” Another spoke up in disdain.
“Quiet down. The five of them would take revenge on any grudges. Anyone who speaks badly of them would suffer when they’re found out. They could do anything; they’ve done many terrible things over the years, but no one has been able to do anything to them.”
“Spare my life? What are you?” The young man was good-looking and wore ordinary garb. He raised his brows and the corner of his lips, seeming disrespectful.
“Don’t blame us for seeking your death,” The man who spoke up earlier signaled the other men who surrounded the young guy.
The five of them charged towards the young man in perfect synchronization. They were quick and belonged to the Peak Saint level. Each of them unleashed their killing techniques. Two of their silhouettes were exceptionally faint with black daggers in their hands, emitting a magnificent black radiance.
