AST 1670 - Three Years Later, Divine Moon Immortal Sect In Trouble

Time passed by very quickly and in the blink of an eye, three years had passed .

Three years weren’t considered either long nor short . During this period of time, Qing Shui had gone back for a few times, a maximum of twice per year . During these three years, Qing Shui had spent his time in the Linhai City .

Right now, he was most worried about the Sunset Palace and the Demon Lord Palace . Right now, the Demon Lord Palace had already been moved to a place that wasn't too far from the Ice Ocean Domain . This area was covered in snow and Tantai Lingyan liked a place like this . Therefore, the final location was decided .

About half of the people from the Demon Lord Palace had moved to here . Hua Rumei and Zhan Yu had, of course, moved over . They had been with Qing Shui for a very long time, and there was also Jin Ci and the others .

Zhan Yu, Hua Rumei, and Jin Ci were all very powerful . Especially Hua Rumei, who was also a Peak False God . Even under Qing Shui's help, it was still very difficult to attain a breakthrough to the Divine Grade . It would take some time .

During this period of time, Qing Shui had made it so that Tantai Lingyan, Qin Qing, and Yiye Jiange could meet each other . Although they were separated on being on land and being in the ocean, it didn't affect them from being able to take care of each other .

In the three years, Qing Shui's strength hadn’t increased by much . He spent his time stabilizing his powers and tempering his physical body . It was the same for the ladies as well . Although they were very powerful, now that the three ladies and Tantai Lingyan were all Divinities, they would need to spend a very long time stabilizing their powers .

Qin Qing continued to be a Peak False God . The same goes for Lan Lingfeng and Yin Tong . It wasn't enough to just indiscriminately get stronger . One must make an overall plan for the long term . Right now, they were all powerful experts and they had such foresight .

. . .

After the three years, the Hellfire Phoenix and the Nine-Headed Demonic Dragon Spider still remained as Qing Shui's only Divine Grade demonic beasts . The other demonic beasts didn't attain further breakthrough and even the two Divine Grade demonic beasts didn't get any more tremendously powerful .

Sometimes, three years were really considered to be too short . In certain areas, 30 years, or even 300 years, might seem to be a brief moment . A cultivator's or a demonic beast's strength remaining the same for three years, 30 years, or even 300 years was perfectly normal .

This was the day when Qing Shui had prepared to leave . Tantai Lingyan was also leaving with him . Qin Qing chose to stay at the Demon Lord Palace as she managed the Demon Lord Palace together with Hua Rumei .

It was because they had just received a request for help from the Divine Moon Immortal Sect . The Divine Moon Immortal Sect had wiped out the Blade Demon Immortal Sect but hadn't expected that the latter still had an influence backing them up . The Divine Moon Immortal Sect hadn't been able to fend off the attacks . Yin Tian and Feng Xi thought of Qing Shui's extraordinary abilities and believed that he was much stronger than them . This was why they had no choice but to seek help from Qing Shui .

Regardless, Yin Tian and his wife were still quite nice . In the beginning, they had taken in Tantai Lingyan as their daughter in order to thank Qing Shui . After all, Qing Shui was still a far cry from them back then . Although they knew that Qing Shui might surpass them in the future, it was just a thought and nothing more than that .

It was also because of this that Qing Shui treated the Divine Moon Immortal Sect as a very intimate friend . Tantai Lingyan couldn't wait either and they decided to head over immediately .

Qing Shui had a feeling that this time around, he would definitely step into a highly competitive circle and it would be very hard for him to get out of it . Even so, he wasn't afraid . It was only through competition that there would be opportunities, and thus, breakthroughs .

Qin Qing had also gotten familiar with Yiye Jiange and the other ladies . On land, this place was very safe . Lan Lingfeng and Yiye Jiange were not on the same level as before and became top-notch experts in the False God level . Moreover, Qin Qing was strong enough . If they were to encounter any unexpected effects, they could also look for Yiye Jiange and the others .

This was also why Qing Shui and Tantai Lingyan could leave with a peace of mind . Qin Qing's Giant Azure Dragon was already one step into being a Divinity and would attain a breakthrough at any moment . Qing Shui felt that the Giant Azure Dragon would definitely attain a faster breakthrough than Qin Qing .

Nine Continents Steps!

Later on, Qing Shui called out the Hellfire Phoenix, which was also the Dark Phoenix . It could undergo Form Transformation . However, it could only develop his abilities to his fullest while in his beast form . For example, his flying abilities . If he wasn't in his beast form, his speed would be reduced drastically .

After demonic beasts undergo Form Transformation, their thoughts would still be different from that of a human's . Despite so, their thoughts were already extremely similar to a human’s way of thinking . This was the kind of existence that the demonic tribes were . They were tribes that comprised of demonic beasts that had undergone Form Transformation, taken on the human form, and then developed .

They were much more outstanding than humans in many areas . After all, it was like how if a powerful wild beast in Qing Shui's previous life were to gain a human's intelligence, they would become terrifying .

However, as they evolved, the descendants that they produced were mostly unable to take on the beast form . They could only regain their beast form after cultivating to a certain degree . Only then would they able to battle in their beast form .

This was the two extremes . Demonic beasts that had undergone Form Transformation were not amazing just because they could take on the human form . But rather, being able to undergo Form Transformation meant that they possessed extraordinary intelligence . However, they would still need to maintain their beast form in order to unleash their true powers .

The Hellfire Phoenix spread out its wings covering up the sky . Qing Shui and Tantai Lingyan appeared too small on it . Qing Shui didn't feel uncomfortable simply because the Hellfire Phoenix had undergone the Form Transformation . This was the relationship between a Beast Tamer and their demonic beasts . It wouldn't change just because of such a minor difference .

The speed of the Hellfire Phoenix had reached an unbelievable degree . A series of after images were left behind in the air, just like shooting stars chasing after a moon . That feeling of extreme speed was very exhilarating .

Qing Shui now felt that with this speed, he should be able to move through the world of the nine continents . He thought of the old turtle and how it had Heavenly Technique that could be used in the water . This was also why, back then, Tantai Lingyan was able to move through the few continents .

The Linhai City wasn't considered near to the martial territories . However, with the speed of the current Hellfire Phoenix, he would only need three days . Earlier, he would need to take over a month .

"There's no need to worry . The Divine Moon Immortal Sect won't be taken over so easily . " Qing Shui could tell that Tantai Lingyan was very worried and tried to calm her down .

"If Godmother and the others could handle it, they wouldn't look for us . Since she has requested for help, it means that things are very bad . " Tantai Lingyan shook her head and said calmly .

How could Qing Shui not know this? He was only trying to console Tantai Lingyan . However, intelligent women would still remain calm at times like this . It wasn't that easy for them to be startled .

The speed of the Hellfire Phoenix once again increased abruptly . He could understand their conversation and knew that they were very anxious . Therefore, he increased his speed to the greatest degree .

In about slightly over two days, Qing Shui and Tantai Lingyan arrived at the Divine Moon Immortal Sect . When they did, they knew that things were really urgent . It was because both Yin Tian and Old Wang were seriously injured . However, the other party didn't seem to be in a hurry to wipe them out .

The speed of the Hellfire Phoenix was terrifying and he cut through straight into the Divine Moon Immortal Sect . Right now, Qing Shui wasn't sure if the enemies weren't in a hurry to wipe them out or if the Divine Moon Immortal Sect had some kind of unknown power protecting them .

Seeing Qing Shui's and Tantai Lingyan's appearance, Feng Xi was very happy . However, there was still a sign of great worry reflecting on her face . She even missed out on Tantai Lingyan's current abilities .

"Lass Yan . Qing Shui, why have you brought Lass Yan here as well?"

"Godmother, how are you?" When Tantai Lingyan saw this situation, she was still a little relieved . Even if there were people who were seriously injured, she could trust Qing Shui's medical skills .

"I'm fine . The other side wished to slowly bring us to our deaths . Otherwise, we'd have been dead long ago . " Feng Xi shook her head and smiled bitterly .

"Qing Shui . Uncle has no other way out either . You won't blame me for seeking help from you, right?" Although Yin Tian was injured, he could still move like an ordinary person . However, both he and Old Wang weren't that much stronger than an ordinary person . Right now, the only ones who could still put up a fight were Yin Sha and Feng Xi .

It could be said that the other party wanted them to feel desperation, to let them slowly feel helpless . Qing Shui still had no idea who the other party was, nor their relationship with the Blade Demon Immortal Sect .

"Aunt Feng, who is the other party?" Qing Shui checked on Yin Tian's and Old Wang's injuries as he asked .

"They are from the Demonic Saber Immortal Sect" Feng Xi sighed and said .

Just from their names, Qing Shui thought that the Demonic Saber Immortal Sect and the Blade Demon Immortal Sect should have a very close relationship . The fact that the Demonic Saber Immortal Sect had stood up for the Blade Demon Immortal Sect had already proven this . The reason that Qing Shui had guessed as such was also due to the name of the sect .

Qing Shui didn't ask further . At that moment, Feng Xi said, "The Blade Demon Immortal Sect is considered to be a branch of the Demonic Saber Immortal Sect . It's said that they have the same blood flowing in them as the sect master of the Demonic Saber Immortal Sect . "

"How strong are they? Aunt Feng, are you aware?" This was what Qing Shui was concerned the most .

"The ones who had come out are slightly stronger than me and your uncle . Although they weren't out to kill, the two of them were still seriously injured . " When Feng Xi said this, there was a little helplessness and bitterness .

It was because there were still other people who had not stepped forth yet . Although Qing Shui was quite strong and had the amazing ability to weaken his opponents, the other party's Immortal Sect was more than just a little stronger than the Divine Moon Immortal Sect .

"Aunt Feng, there's no need to worry . Lingyan and I are here now . It'll be fine . Although Uncle's and Uncle Wang's injuries are a little serious, they would be able to recover . It's just that they won't be able to do anything in the short term . " Qing Shui said calmly . However, he wasn't really as calm as he had appeared to be .

Qing Shui was still unclear about the Divine Grade . A strength of over 100 Dao force would be the Grade 1 Divine . He wasn't sure if one had a strength of over 3,000 Dao force, would the person still be considered a Grade 1 Divine .

"Godmother, don't worry . It'll be fine . " Tantai Lingyan also spoke out softly .

"Hmmm? Lass Yan has also attained a breakthrough?" Feng Xi looked at Tantai Lingyan, astonished . She hadn't realized it earlier due to the current situation, and thus had only just recently found out .

Feng Xi wasn't the only one who hadn't realized it . Even Yin Sha hadn't realized it either . Both Old Wang and Yin Tian didn't have the abilities to detect it right now .

Qing Shui looked at the current state of the Divine Moon Immortal Sect, feeling a little dejected . Despite it being such a great Immortal Sect, they didn't have many Divinities . Earlier, the Hong Clan had over ten of them, and there were some others as well . However, the Hong Clan was no more but the Qingfeng and Mingyue Clans were back .

They had come back when the Divine Moon Immortal Sect was at its most critical state . Earlier, they had left because they had done the Yin Clan wrong . However, they had returned when the Divine Moon Immortal Sect was about to perish . Not everyone would have the courage to do the same .
