Chapter 2244
AST 2244 – Qing Shui Wakes up, Distressed, Five Caves
The relationship between Nuo Lan and Qing Shui was grey . She had always seen him as a brother, and it was Qing Shui who saved her life . It was hard for her to see Qing Shui in this state . They found out that Tantai Lingyan was the cause of it, the only person who could be the cause .
Nuo Lan had never seen Qing Shui in this state . His breath of life was so weak . If she could bear this misery on his behalf, she would do so without hesitation .
Qing Shui was still unconscious after three days . Beihuang Liefeng, Beihuang Yu, and the others all came by to visit . After all, Qing Shui and the Taiyi Immortal Palace were now affiliated .
Beihuang Yu sighed and said, “To be hurt to this extent by a woman . ”
Zhang Yue came by as well . He was now a famous miracle physician now and had been Qing Shui’s disciple, but even he was at a loss, not knowing what to do .
Qing Shui had completely isolated himself . There was nothing else that could help him .
Cold Jade Bed!
They placed Qing Shui on the Cold Jade Bed with visitors speaking to him every day, hoping that it would persuade him to wake up .
Everyone in the Divine Palace knew that Tantai Lingyan had taken over the Demon Gate but didn’t know if she would attack the Divine Palace . However, with the Sky-Obstructing Crow around, this was still a safer place than others .
Their Sky-Obstructing Crow was a half-blood existence . It was through Qing Shui’s Ancient Demonic Fruit and other tools that helped its bloodline to increase to 70% with time . This allowed the Sky-Obstructing Crow’s might to increase significantly .
The situation with Qing Shui wasn’t spread to the Sea King Palace lest it worried more people . Besides, it wouldn’t be ideal for others to find out about Qing Shui’s condition .
Two weeks passed in the blink of an eye .
Qing Shui eyes fluttered open . He felt like he had been asleep for a long time . Watching the surroundings, he took in the temple structure and the comfortable coolness of the bed beneath him before turning to the dazed Beihuang Fan beside him . She hadn’t realized that he had woken up .
She jumped in shock when Qing Shui reached out to tug at her hand . “You’re awake!” She exclaimed in glee .
“Hm . Sorry to worry you . ” Qing Shui replied, feeling abashed .
He felt much better now . This was how humans were like; while some things were hard to accept initially, they would grow accustomed to them with time . Similarly, while Qing Shui still felt upset, he felt accustomed enough to deal with it .
“I’ll go tell the others, so they can stop worrying . ” With that, Beihuang Fan rushed out to inform the other people .
At that news, Qing Shui’s room was filled in a short moment . Zhang Yue had stayed there those few days, neglecting even the Imperial Cuisine Hall . Qing Shui was touched by the gesture as he urged Zhang Yue to return to the Imperial Cuisine Hall .
Everyone was happy . Qing Shui, on the other hand, was embarrassed that he could be hurt this deeply by a woman .
“You look better with your white hair, I want to turn my hair white too,” Beihuang Yu commented in a serious tone .
“You imp . Are you seeking death?” Beihuang Fan glared at Beihuang Yu .
“Aunt, you used to dote on me the most . Was it because of this man that you no longer do? You weren’t like that before,” Beihuang Yu said in exaggerated misery .
“What nonsense . ” Beihuang Fan grew embarrassed .
“Hehe . Everybody knows, Aunt . There’s no need to feel embarrassed . ” Right after his retort, he increased the distance between them just in case Beihuang Fan decided to hit him .
Qing Shui sat up and felt as though he had just recovered from a terrible illness . It was a good thing that his body was speedily recovering now that he was awake . He noticed the Fifth Cave behind him was beginning to show; he should be able to attempt a breakthrough soon .
There wasn’t any movement from the Demon Gate during this time, though they did have an increment of several Demon Kings . Their strength had now far surpassed any other factions in the surrounding area .
The Five Tiger Immortal Palace and the Golden Yakshas were finished . But even without an alliance, the Demon Gate was more terrifying than what it used to be because of Tantai Lingyan, the owner of the Demonic Saint Blood . In the future, that would be where the Demon God appeared, and they could compete with the Nine Continents Demon Gate .
Rear Mountain of Divine Palace!
Five caves appeared behind Qing Shui . The middle cave was colored in gold with four other caves surrounding it . The one at the bottom was fuzzy though .
Open!
Qing Shui’s snow-white tresses flew all over the place . The energy from his Golden Cave poured into the fifth . Its fuzziness cleared quickly, followed by the sound of an explosion . The fifth cave was bust open .
With the opening of his Fifth Cave, a wave of pure energy poured out and into Qing Shui’s body .
After the breakthrough, Qing Shui’s gaze drifted to his white hair and wondered when his black hair would return .
At this moment, the Sky-Obstructing Crow appeared . Qing Shui greeted with a simple, “Senior!”
Previously, when Qing Shui checked for information about the Five Tiger Immortal Palace’s Guardian Beast from the Sky-Obstructing Crow, it got to know about Qing Shui’s intention to attack the palace . Who knew the situation would turn out this way in such a short time . The Sky-Obstructing Crow had always felt that it didn’t manage to help and repay Qing Shui .
“It’s good to be passionate but everything has to be in moderation . You still have many others who care about you, so try not to have history repeat itself again . There are many people who would be upset if anything happened to you,” said the Sky-Obstructing Crow and sighed .
“I understand . Thank you, Senior . ”
The Sky-Obstructing Crow dismissed this with a wave of its hand . “I saw a Golden Cave earlier . Take this, it might be useful for you . ”
A book with golden pages flew towards Qing Shui .
Qing Shui caught it and just as he was about to voice his gratitude, the Sky-Obstructing Crow was already gone .
‘Refining Golden Cave’
At the flip of its pages, Qing Shui realized that it was a book which taught the technique of strengthening a cave . This book, specifically, was used only for strengthening the Golden Cave . It was the reason why the Sky-Obstructing Crow had given it to Qing Shui .
Skimming through the pages, a look of surprise decorated Qing Shui’s features . ‘Refining Golden Cave’ was indeed useful . It could double the foundational power of his Golden Cave and it was easy, without needing to spend much time . However, it could only be used once .
The Golden Cave appeared behind Qing Shui, its golden glow brightening up the place . There was a whirlpool which wouldn’t stop spinning, absorbing the golden glow from its surroundings . The other four caves appeared as well, pouring energy into the Golden Cave ceaselessly .
After two hours, the Golden Cave emitted a dazzling golden light . There wasn’t any change to its size, but it looked sturdier than before . It was filled with incredible power, and its golden whirlpool seemed as though it was going to swallow the Heaven and Earth .
Qing Shui’s strength increased substantially from this as well . Another cave appeared behind him just as the Golden Cave was refined .
Qing Shui’s attacking ability was now at 28 billion Dao Force with 280 billion Dao of defense .
The Heavenly Fate Treasure Pagoda of Defence increased it by 20%, and so he reached 336 billion Dao .
The Heavenly Fate Treasure Pagoda of Violence and the Parry Heavenly Fate Treasure Pagoda added another 28 billion Dao of blocking power . Qing Shui ended up with 364 billion Dao of defense .
Qing Shui’s Divine Weapon, Flying Sword could additionally reduce damage by 3 . 2 billion Dao, which contributed to his defense, increasing it to 367 billion Dao .
The Nine Continents Mountain’s attack could now reach up to 140 billion Dao Force, allowing Qing Shui to crush his opponents . When faced with multiple opponents at once, the Nine Continents Mountain would be able to eliminate all warriors of a certain caliber . After all, the Nine Continents Mountain had a shield attack with an absolute probability of striking .
