AST 2254 – Maximum Grand Perfection, 700 Billion Dao Defense

Just like that, Qing Shui advanced and retreated for a long time before he reached the peak . His body was aching all over, and he was exhausted . It had been a long time since he felt this exhausted, but he realized during the process that his fighting spirit was strong . He reached his goal .

When he returned, he thanked the Sky-Obstructing Crow once more and trained his body there every day thereafter .

A month passed in the blink of an eye .

Qing Shui could block the rolling boulders which were as big as a small hill now without moving . He could reach the peak of the mountain without a single backstep and there weren’t many bruises on his body anymore . At this moment, he knew that it was time for the next step .

He began to carry a huge boulder that was also the size of a small hill . With its size, it was awkward for Qing Shui to carry it on his back and so he held it up instead . The moment he carried it, he sensed the increase in difficulty .

Thump!

After a distance, a dull thumping sound rang out . Qing Shui maintained a death grip on the mountain peak but was still cast aside from the impacts . Both Qing Shui and the boulder he was carrying were thrown back to the starting line .

After two days, his arms were incomparably tired and swollen . Reaching the peak was difficult enough, and with the terrifying clashes, Qing Shui wasn’t able to keep his hold .

Qing Shui’s perseverance was unquestionable . Lifting the boulder again, he proceeded forward once more before being knocked back again . Without realizing it, half a day passed as Qing Shui went to and fro . The first day was spent just like that .

As soon as he reached the surroundings of the peak, Qing Shui felt a surge of strength . Qing Shui deliberately stripped himself of Origin Qi when he started, just as the Sky-Obstructing Crow reminded . He knew now that he wouldn’t be able to use it even if he wanted to . He supposed the Sky-Obstructing Crow only reminded him in case he was able to use it .

Everything regarding the Divine Palace was on the right track . Qing Shui would help to tend to some medical consultations from time to time but not for long . He spent the majority of his time at the giant waterfall as half a year went by .

Qing Shui was able to carry a giant boulder and reach the peak of the mountain now .

This was an improvement . A tiny silhouette was seen carrying a giant boulder as it went towards the peak step by step . If anyone were to find out that this was possible, they would be startled beyond words .

This was an abandoned Divine Mountain . It retained a type of restrictions which confined the powers of people within it to a certain degree . Origin Qi couldn’t be used in here no matter how strong it was outside . It was extremely difficult to walk against the strong currents . Perhaps only selected purebred demonic beasts would be able to .

Qing Shui withstood the enormous current which defied nature, like a huge wave in the ocean . His silhouette was tiny amidst it, yet he carried a huge boulder which peeked out from the water . Half of it was submerged, resisting against the currents . How much strength was needed to pull this off…

Step by step without retreat . No matter how big the rocks which fell from the currents were, Qing Shui refused to let them push him back . He had faith and his feet stayed rooted to the ground . He took each step bravely on the endless route towards the peak . The mountain there was infinitely taller than the tallest mountain he had seen in his previous life .

Standing atop the peak, Qing Shui was calm . He threw the boulder down . At the start, Qing Shui wasn’t be able to reach the mountain peak in just a day of walking due to its height . Then, he could do it faster, with bigger strides .

Qing Shui could now run up the mountain, each step requiring an immense amount of effort .

His body glowed like pure gold now with a soft golden ray illuminating around him . Qing Shui felt an explosive amount of power . The moment he stepped out of the Despondent Divine Mountain, it surged through his entire body .

In just half a year, Qing Shui’s strength increased tremendously .

This sort of training suited Qing Shui best . Not only had his physical strength improved, but his cultivation also broke through by two realms . Another cave opened, and the eighth cave seemed to be opening soon .

The increase in his potential made Qing Shui feel deeply moved as well . Only his Nine Yang Body would be able to achieve this .

His caves increased much in strength too, but the greatest improvement was his maximum power .

Qing Shui had 55 billion Dao of attack power, and 550 billion Dao of defense .

With the Heavenly Fate Treasure Pagoda of defense, it increased 20% of defense, resulting in 660 billion Dao .

The Heavenly Fate Treasure Pagoda of Violence and Parry increased it by 55 billion, so now Qing Shui had 715 billion Dao of defense .

Qing Shui found it surreal . He had Emperor’s Might now, resulting in not finding many experts being be able to suppress him . Without the suppression, how strong would he have been? How strong would an attack by Stellar Transposition be? An instant kill?

Other than that, there was the Nine Continents Mountain . Its basic attack had 270 billion Dao of power, and it was a type of 100% probability of shield attack .

Qing Shui knew that he didn’t have to go back to the Despondent Divine Mountain anymore; he had already reached his limit . When his physical body reached its limits, his potential would naturally be forced out . Any techniques would need hundreds of years to increase in strength by 1% or 2%, hence there was no use in wasting time .

Although he could be considered as a human desolate beast, his resistance to attacks wouldn’t be broken even when confronted by those in the same realm as purebred, violent desolate beasts . Qing Shui had the mighty Flying Sword after all, which could greatly reduce attacks . If it was layered on by Emperor’s Qi, he wouldn’t be able to find a match for him . And Qing Shui didn’t even need to use his greatest Battle God Halo or formation’s strength .

Qing Shui felt that Tantai Lingyan might not even be able to win against him now . After all, he couldn’t be suppressed .

With a gleeful heart, he returned to the Divine Palace and went to the rear mountain with Waft of Fragrance to drink with the Sky-Obstructing Crow .

The Waft of Fragrance was the Sky-Obstructing Crow’s favorite drink made by Qing Shui . The last time they had drunk together was about a year ago . And since then, Qing Shui had finished brewing the wine; it should have been ready by then . The year it was made wasn’t too long ago, but it had already aged for two thousand years . With the combination of the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal and the increase in quality, it had two thousand years worth of quality .

“Not bad . Grand Perfection . You can go on a rampage now,” the Sky-Obstructing Crow laughed and said .

Qing Shui was very thankful to this senior of his . He had provided him with immense help . There was a saying that an elderly at home was equivalent to a treasure, and it couldn’t be more accurate . A sentence from a senior could help you get through ten, maybe even twenty years of life . It could even be life-changing .

“I seek your guidance,” Qing Shui said politely .

“Haha, to be able to produce such a character like yourself, the Divine Palace would surely shine in the future . However, perhaps it would be better if you don’t go up against that lady,” the Sky-Obstructing Crow laughed and said

“I don’t plan on going up against her anymore . I’m going to win her back,” Qing Shui declared confidently .
