AST 1349 – Puyang Qing Attained Breakthrough to False God, Qing Shui Benefited Once Again

“I feel that this time around, it should work,” Puyang Qing said confidently to Qing Shui .

Qing Shui smiled and looked at Puyang Qing . This time around, Puyang Qing once again attempted a breakthrough from Martial Emperor to False God . He needed one type of thing or rather, something which could bring him to a certain level .

Spring of Life!

Or rather, things that had similar effects to the Spring of Life . For example, the Fruit of Life, Life Origin Grass, Flower of Life and the Sacred Leaf . Qing Shui hadn’t expected that he had two such items . However, he wasn’t planning on using the Flower of Life . It hadn’t been easy for it to grow to the stage at which it was at right now .

Puyang Qing had previously made multiple attempts to attain a breakthrough . Thankfully, he would get a tremendous takeaway each time around . Otherwise, he would probably have lost his confidence . Furthermore, this was a barrier that people would encounter at Peak Martial Emperor level . It wasn’t that easy for one to break through .

It should be about sufficient . The other time, Qing Shui felt that Puyang Qing should be able to attain a breakthrough in another month tops . RIght now, half a month had already passed by and if there weren’t any accidents, he should be able to attain a breakthrough . A False God cultivator would be born with his help . Qing Shui was feeling very agitated .

Having applied acupuncture on him for the past year . In addition to what he had done for him in the past it all added up to about a year in total . Puyang Qing’s meridian channels had been reinforced by Qing Shui to a large extent . Furthermore, there were still the Ren Meridian Strengthening Pellets and the Du Meridian Strengthening Pellets which had contributed significantly .

The Ren Meridian Strengthening Pellets and Du Meridian Strengthening Pellet were effective even for that old lady from Puyang Clan, who was a False God cultivator . Therefore, Qing Shui felt very happy . There was another reason why he felt happy about it .

Demon Lord!

These two meridian strengthening pellets had been included in the things which Qing Shui had given to her . He hoped that she would use them . Very soon, he would be able to head to the continent’s capital, which would make him closer to her and closer to the Demon Lord Palace .

Puyang Qing started his attempt to break through the barrier . Qing Shui applied acupuncture on him to protect his internal organs so that he had less things to worry about and could focus on his attempt . Qing Shui also stayed behind him to use the power of the Shield Attack to help him in his attempt .

One time, two times…

Time trickled by and the barrier leading to False God started to loosen up, seeming as if it would be broken through at any moment . However, each time, it would still remain connected, refusing to break .

Both of them were mentally prepared for this and had no intention to break through it immediately . Gradually, it became a cycle of charging forth, being repelled back, then to continue charging forth and then once again being repelled back .

Boom!

A stifled sound rang out in Puyang Qing’s body and a hole was created in the barrier . In that instant, a terrifying gush of power exploded in his body .

Thankfully, Qing Shui had helped him to protect his internal organs in advance and had also helped him to reinforce his meridian channels for such a long period of time . Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been able to withstand that outburst of power .

In the instant in which Puyang Qing attained his breakthrough, a hint of mysterious energy gushed into Qing Shui’s body, following his meridian channels and charging toward his Dantian . Qing Shui felt anxious and activated his Nine Continents Mountain to block it .

Boom!

That pure energy was the power that belonged to False God cultivators and was the purest form of energy . Not only did it get past the Nine Continents Mountain, it continued to flow through his meridian channels and even reached where the golden pellet was at .

The spinning golden pellet mysteriously absorbed this gush of power endlessly .

When a cultivator attained a breakthrough to False God, the outburst of energy in that particular instant was very dangerous . Many people would have their skin and flesh in a battered state and some of the power would leak out . Some people’s meridian channels could also burst or even break . If the ones which broke weren’t the primary meridian channels, then there would only be a minor impact . However, if it was an important meridian channel, then the result wouldn’t be good .

Despite this, Puyang Qing still spewed out a mouthful of blood, another way in which some of his powers could be let out . In a sense, it was also considered to be a good thing for Puyang Qing that Qing Shui had managed to absorb some of the purest energy .

However, Qing Shui wasn’t sure if it was a good or bad thing . Very soon, he was sent flying back by that gush of force .

Qing Shui knew that it was a success . With his help, not only did the old man, who was reaching the end of his life span, have his lifespan increased by a lot, he had even attained a breakthrough from the Martial Emperor realm to the False God realm .

Qing Shui looked at the Puyang Qing who was trying to digest and absorb his new powers . They were high up in the air, deep within the clouds . There wouldn’t be anyone who would disturb him . There was no longer any gravitational force in such a high place . However, there was air and spiritual Qi . Even ordinary people would be safe here .

Puyang Qing would probably have to take at least half a day to for the elementary refinement at the False God level . This was a conservative estimation . There was’t anyone to disturb them there . Furthermore, there were also other members in the Puyang Qing who were on guard .

With nothing to do at the moment, Qing Shui sensed his Dantian and felt that the power contained in his golden pellet had increased by more than double . However, this was more like an increase in his endurance and not to his attacking power . If he could withstand about 24 hours of full power attack earlier, right now, he would be able to sustain for over 40 hours . This was the benefit that pure force had brought him .

Even though that gush of force had gone through the Nine Continents Mountain, it didn’t raise its grade . Qing Shui was still thinking previously that when Puyang Qing attained a breakthrough to the False God, that surge of force would be able to allow the Nine Continents Mountain to reach a new level . However, it was a pity that nothing had changed .

In all, the benefit he received was still tremendous .

The sky had already started to darken and Puyang Qing gradually opened his eyes . A hint of a gleam burst out from his eyes . This was due the fact that one who had just attained a breakthrough to the False God realm wouldn’t be able to control their power . When Puyang Qing saw Qing Shui, he felt an indescribable feeling of happiness .

“I shan’t say more thanks . This old man hadn’t many years left to begin with and hadn’t held any hopes to be able to hit False God . All this was given by you,” Puyang Qing said a little agitatedly .

“Old Master, is there still a need for this between us? I don’t have many friends in the Dancing Phoenix Continent . Although many people are very friendly to me, that’s only because of my medical skills . ”

“Back then, the reason I approached you was also because of your medical skills,” Puyang Qing smiled and said .

Qing Shui shook his head and said smiling, “That situation was different . Back then, my abilities or rather, the abilities that I had displayed wasn’t sufficient to be taken seriously by you guys . Furthermore, Puyang Clan’s reputation isn’t something which other clans could be compared with . Right now, isn’t it clear what everyone is like?”

“Haha, so what if this old man has become a False God? There are many things that can be measured by other things, not just one’s power . Puyang Clan will forever be your best friend . As long as you face trouble, no matter what it is, we’ll face it together with you . ” Puyang Qing didn’t say much . It was because sometimes, it would sound hypocritical when one said too much .

…

After returning to the Imperial Cuisine Hall, Qing Shui entered the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal . It was time . After entering, Qing Shui didn’t do anything but went deep into thorough, comprehending and allowing himself to immerse in experiencing . In the instant Puyang Qing attained a breakthrough to the False God level, Qing Shui had also sensed that the force had gushed forth explosively from beyond the barrier .

This force had only gushed in from the Baihui Acupoint after the barrier had been broken through . It was a pity that there weren’t any weird heavenly and earthly phenomena . When Puyang Clan’s old lady had attained a breakthrough to the Grade Two False God, silvery white thunderbolts had struck from the sky . When most people attained a breakthrough to the False God level, there wouldn’t be any heavenly and earthly phenomena . It might appear for some people but it would be rare . It could be said that only people with a strength of 500,000 sun would experience such phenomena when they attain a breakthrough to False God .

Puyang Qing’s strength hadn’t reach 500,000 sun and after attaining the breakthrough, his strength immediately reached about 1 . 5 million sun . If a person that only had a strength of 300,000 sun were to attain a breakthrough, he would only reach a strength of one million . This was the difference between two people who had a strength of 300,000 sun and 500,000 sun respectively when they attained a breakthrough . This gap would become increasingly bigger as they continued to get stronger .

When he came out from the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal, it was already the latter part of the night . When he returned to the living hall, he saw that Yuan Su hadn’t rested yet and was drinking tea .

“Be careful that you won’t be able to fall asleep when you drink tea at such a late hour,” Qing Shui said as he took a seat opposite her .

Unknowingly, it had already been over half a year ever since Yuan Su had came .

“I can’t sleep anyway, so I decided to just get up and have some tea . ”

Qing Shui poured himself a cup of tea as well .

“Why aren’t you sleeping either?” Yuan Su put down her tea cup and asked as she looked at Qing Shui .

“I decided to come out to take a look since I woke up, then I saw you sitting here alone in a daze . Why? Is something troubling you or have you thought of someone?” For the past half a year or so, Qing Shui and Yuan Su had developed quite a good rapport with each other and Yuan Su was able to feel more free . At least, right now, the two of them were very good friends . This was especially when as time passed, the time the two of them had spent together was quite significant .

However, even if they were together, they would only talk about some light hearted topics . They wouldn’t even bring up the things in the past . This made it more at ease between them . During this period of time, Qing Shui would still head back once a month . There was once when Yuan Su had wanted Qing Shui to bring her back to take a look but it was a pity that Qing Shui didn’t have the ability to do so yet .

However, Qing Shui told her that there would be opportunities in the future . He didn’t hide the facts about the Five Elements Divine Flag and told here that there would be chances for that in the future . This made Yuan Su feel very happy . Another thing was her own abilities . If she got strong enough, she would be able to go back by herself as well . It was just a pity that it would take so much time .

“That young lady from Li Clan came to look for you in the day . ” Yuan Su didn’t reply but smiled and changed the topic .

“Oh? Did she say why she had come?”

During this period of time, Qing Shui didn’t have much contact with Li Yan . One reason was because Qing Shui was busy and she wasn’t the lady he had thought of . She and the lady he knew were still largely different and thus, as time changed, Li Yan changed as well . She no longer had that impact from when they first met and gradually, didn’t have that inclination either . In the past, Li Clan could still bring up the matter but now, they wouldn’t bring it up from their side either .

Qing Shui had once cured Li Clan’s Old Master of his illness and Li Clan had given Qing Shui the Life and Death Needles . During this period of time, they were considered to be quite good friends . Furthermore, the benefits Qing Shui had brought Li Clan were quite tremendous . There was no reason for this except for the Life and Death Needles and also for that extremely similar appearance .

“She didn’t but she seems to like you,” Yuan Su smiled and said .

Qing Shui was stunned . At the beginning, he didn’t notice that Li Yan liked him . He was the one who had some misconceptions when she saw her appearance . There were also quite a number of times when they had met and come into contact as well but she hadn’t shown any signs at all . Qing Shui had already let go of these thoughts . It was best to leave things to its natural progression .

“I don’t think so . We’ve also known each other for very long . ”

“I only said that she might like you . This is very normal . Mister Qing now has many people who like you and even more people who wish to marry their daughters to you!” Yuan Su said, seemingly jokingly .
