Chapter 1824: 1824
AST 1824 - Tantai Lingyan's Epiphany



They instantly arrived at the Divine Cave that was in the Ice Ocean Domain . This wasn't the first time Yiye Jiange had traveled in this manner between Qing Clan and the North Sea . Qin Qing had experienced it before and Tantai Lingyan wasn't a person who would be easily taken by surprise .

This method saved them a lot of time . The Divine Cave was exactly the same as when they had left back then . It was clean and everything was in abundance . Moreover, there was a kind of natural elegance about the cave . Previously, Qing Shui had set up a restriction here and thus this place was a residence for Qing Shui and the ladies .

Back then, when the Sea King Palace hadn't moved off, Qing Shui had stayed here . Thinking back, over ten years had passed and it had been a very long time since he had lived here . However, this place was a very important location for Qing Shui to move between the Dancing Phoenix Continent and the Haohan Continent . Without this place, Qing Shui would need to spend a lot of time on his travel .

This place was right next to the Linhai City and wasn't that far away from the Great Qin Dynasty either . It was the entrance to the Northern Sea City and was only one step away from the place . The Sunset Sea King Palace, Dragonwolf Palace . . .

Thinking about it, Qing Shui realized that he had gotten himself involved with quite a number of powerhouses . There was also the Divine Moon Immortal Sect . . .

Qing Shui didn't plan on staying here either . It had been some time and he should go to the Sunset Sea King Palace to check if they were fine . Therefore, he brought the group along with him and used the Nine Continents Step .

Tantai Lingyan and Qin Qing also went along to the Sunset Sea King Palace . The moment they entered, the few ladies came out, Qing Hanye included . Seeing that they were all fine, Qing Shui was relieved .

Luo Qingcheng seemed to be in a better condition now . They said that when one managed to survive an ordeal, they'd be able to enjoy great fortune . There was some sort of sense to this saying . However, Qing Shui wasn't very familiar with the metaphysics . The fact that the good and the evil would each have their just desserts, was related to the law of cause and effect . However, enjoying great fortune after surviving an ordeal seemed to be a change in mentality and character for Qing Shui .



Most people, after experiencing life and death, would go through a huge change in their life . This was especially so in Qing Shui's previous life . For example, if a person were to survive a traffic accident, they would usually have two options after they had recovered . One would live their life freely without any restrictions . They would think that life was too fragile and could be gone at any moment . Therefore, they would let themselves loose .

Another option was to treasure . They would feel that it wasn't easy to get their life back and must treasure it more . They would understand many things and would tend to turn over a new leaf .

However, despite the option one took, they would experience a huge change in their mentality .

It was the same in this world . Although a cultivator's life was spent licking blood off their blades, many cultivators might never get to experience a life or death battle in their entire life . After all, there were too many cultivators and only the true martial arts practitioners would occasionally experience life and death battles .

Luo Qingcheng's mentality had undergone a huge change . Her previous experience with life and death had made her said many things that she didn't wish to, resulting in a promised relationship between her and Qing Shui .

Muyun Qingge and Qing Hanye walked over happily toward Qing Shui, Yiye Jiange, and Qin Qing . They also picked up Qing Xiu happily .

"Did anything happen within this short period of time?" Qing Shui was glad to see that they were fine . No matter how serious things were, things would be fine now . Therefore, he merely asked casually .

"Everything's fine . It hasn't been that long and nothing major has happened . "

The ladies then introduced to Tantai Lingyan and Qin Qing . They said that heroes cherished heroes . In fact, it was the same between beauties as well . Moreover, the few ladies were all very strong and were not that far away from each other .



After the few ladies got to know each other, they looked at Qing Shui strangely . They felt that the most beautiful ladies in the world had all gathered around Qing Shui . All of them recognized that they were very beautiful, but when they saw each other, they couldn't say that they were more beautiful than the others .

Qing Shui couldn't compare them either . He couldn't say who was more beautiful than the other, but he knew that he wasn't a devoted man . A man who was devoted would be able to distinguish the most beautiful woman . There were men who would seem as if they had gone crazy if they fell in love with one particular woman . No matter how beautiful other women were, they won't be willing to give them a second glance .

Men like that were devoted . They could be said to be single-minded or dim-witted . Of course, there were also be people who would say that the woman had cast a spell over that man .

Although Qing Shui hadn't been like that in his previous life, he was still considered to be quite devoted . After arriving in this world, he felt that he was still devoted and simple-minded . However, not even demonic beasts would believe him if he were to say that . . .

At noon, Qing Shui took charge of the cooking while the ladies also helped . They made a sumptuous meal .

"Lingyan, Qing`er, what plans do you guys have? Do you want to stay here?" Qing Shui asked them over the meal .

"I think we better head back to the Imperial Cuisine Hall in a while!" Qin Qing gave it some thought before saying .

This was the world in the ocean and although there wasn't much impact on their lives to live here, both of them still preferred to stay on land . Moreover, the two of them weren't that familiar with the few ladies here either .

Qing Shui merely brought this up . He knew that the chances of them staying wouldn't be high . However, after knowing that they wanted to head to the Imperial Cuisine Hall, Qing Shui nodded . He gave it some thought and said, "You guys must take care of each other and if there are any troubles, do inform one another . "

"Don't worry . We know that . " Yiye Jiange said softly .

"Mmmm, we know . " Qin Qing smiled softly as she looked at Qing Shui . Her gentleness and understanding made Qing Shui very happy .

. . .

"I'll go with them to the Imperial Cuisine Hall to take a look . You guys haven't met for very long and can have a good chat . I'll be back after spending some time there . " After lunch, Qing Shui said to them before leaving with the two ladies .

"Mmm, be careful on your way . "

Linhai City!

The Sunset Sea King Palace was very near to the Linhai City and it didn't take them long to arrive .

It was snowing in Linhai City . This wasn't a strange sight . Most areas in the Ice Domain Dynasty faced winter throughout the year . The Linhai City was close to the Ice Ocean Domain . The temperature there was low and there would often be snow .

However, Qing Shui was in a good mood now . He looked at the falling snowflakes, at how the entire place was covered in white and silver . He then looked at the two ladies next to him, Tantai Lingyan especially . There was an indescribable sense of harmony as if they had become a part of the surrounding world .

Power! Aura!

Qing Shui was increasingly astonished . He suddenly carried Qin Qing and disappeared rapidly before setting up the Nine Palace Formation .

Tantai Lingyan stood in the snow, in a daze . She seemed as if she had lost her consciousness and the forces in her body started to circulate slowly but with a great power . The pure ice-cold auras in the surroundings entered her body through her Baihui Acupoint .

Heavenly Dao!

"Has she entered the threshold of transcendence?" Qin Qing looked at Qing Shui and asked .

Earlier on, Qing Shui had grabbed her quickly and left using the Nine Continents Steps . Therefore, when Qin Qing gasped, they were already very far away .

Qing Shui told her to not say a word nor make a sound . He then gave Tantai Lingyan a quiet time to herself, watching quietly from afar .

"She sensed an even stronger Heavenly Dao . However, I have no idea how long she can continue in this state . If the time can be longer, then she'll get greater benefits . "
