AST 2255 – Learning Through Experience in the Northern Death Demon Mountain

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

The Sky-Obstructing Crow’s words allowed Qing Shui to think it through . If he could do it before, why couldn’t he do it now? Qing Shui was able to see the trace of light in the darkness . Even though Tantai Lingyan had attacked him and hadn’t hesitated to kill him, she didn’t remember her past either . That was forgivable .

“If you truly want to win her back, then why don’t you take a trip to the Northern Death Demon Mountain? Perhaps you’d be able to see things even clearer when you come out from there,” Sky-Obstructing Crow said as he put down the wine cup .

“Where is that?” Qing Shui asked .

“The Northern Death Demon Mountain is directly due North, around 80 million miles away . It’s crowded with Demon Mountains in that area, densely packed with Spiritual Qi . There are invincible demonic beasts there, including pure-blood desolate beasts among them . It’s their territory there . There are some spirit bodies there which are just as terrifying,” the Sky-Obstructing Crow explained slowly .

“Spirit bodies? What are they? Are they strong?” Qing Shui realized that there were many things he was unaware of .

“You’ll find out about that in the future . However, since you’ve asked, I can explain now . You are aware that besides humans and demonic beasts, there were also other types like the Aquatics . There are other species as well, such as the spirit race . These people are self-proclaimed God’s descendants . They look just like humans, but they have a stronger aptitude than humans . While they are fewer in numbers, each of them is a prodigy . They are a strong race, with both looks and abilities . Hence, they slowly became the divine race . ” Sky-Obstructing explained with a smile .

“So, while they are divine, they’re really just humans too . Then, they’re not much different compared to the demonic beasts, aren’t they?” Qing Shui was an atheist . He believed that these so-called gods were really just humans .

“Don’t underestimate them, they’re a race to be feared,” the Sky-Obstructing Crow reminded him once more .

“I understand . Thank you . I’d have to trouble you with the Divine Palace . ”

“It’s my responsibility . My abilities have grown during this period as well . You don’t have to worry about the Divine Palace,” the Sky-Obstructing Crow reassured him confidently .

Qing Shui could feel that the Sky-Obstructing Crow had grown stronger as well . It was subtle, as though it carried a sort of unique power . With a nod, Qing Shui left the rear mountain .

Even though Qing Shui had spent much of his time at the Despondent Divine Mountain, he returned home every day . However, he was going to leave for a place 80 million miles away this time . That was not a distance which would allow his daily-return routine to be executed . The Earth in his previous life was only tens of thousands of miles in circumference . This was like the distance of going a full circle around his past life’s Earth .

The distance wasn’t far for Qing Shui, and it wasn’t that far away from the Taiqing Immortal Palace either . However, distance had nothing to do with it . He was there to learn through experience .

Beihuang Fan and Shen Huang stayed by Qing Shui’s side, but they slept in different rooms . Still, they were under the same roof and in the same living room .

Dining together .

“The Northern Death Demon Mountain is a dangerous place . Flee if you can’t win when you’re training there . ” Beihuang Fan smiled .

She was different from the past now . After she had broken through and had been staying with Qing Shui recently, her mind had changed completely . Her desires had been fulfilled as well, and her heart was completely devoted to Qing Shui .

“Why don’t we get married when I’m back?” Qing Shui asked .

Beihuang Fan was startled while Shen Huang lowered her head .

“Young Mistress too . I want to marry both of you . ” Qing Shui didn’t know where he got the guts . He reached for both of their hands .

Even though it was apparent to everyone, no one had once clarified it . Qing Shui knew it as did the women, and since they all knew, what was the point of hiding? He felt himself grow courageous .

The two women didn’t say a word . It may not be a rejection, but rather, they were too shy to say anything .

“I’ll take it as your consent if you don’t say anything . ” Qing Shui laughed but didn’t dare to go overboard . These women weren’t ordinary women . Even he was surprised at his own gestures . Thinking back about it, perhaps it had something to do with what he had gone through . After an experience in between the lines of life and death, he was clear on what he cherished .

Qing Shui headed for the Northern Death Demon Mountain the next day using the Nine Continents Steps and arriving within three days . Even though the Northern Death Demon Mountain was in direct North, it had a slight tilt to the East .

The Taiqing Immortal Palace was located at the Taiqing Mountain, which wasn’t a great distance away from the Northern Death Demon Mountain . The area near the Northern Death Demon Mountain was one of the most dangerous lands .

Qing Shui wore a simple white outfit . With his youthful looks and outfit, he looked exceptionally young . A subtle purple seal decorated the area between his brows, exuding a feminine, yet strange and devilish aura . However, his eyes were bright and radiant and didn’t feel like he had a lack of masculinity .

He landed in a city about twenty million miles out .

This was the first time Qing Shui had been there . The Nine Continents Steps would go past many cities, and he had casually landed in one of it .

It was a huge city filled with ancient architectures . It flourished in a different way, with inns, medical halls, and some stores which sold huge demonic beasts . It included those which were still alive, others dead . The city was bustling .

Qing Shui landed here precisely because of this . The ground beneath his feet was made up of granite and was incomparably sturdy . Many of the buildings were penetrating the skies . With a careful look, the structure seemed to include the bones of huge demonic beasts, just like reinforced concrete in his previous life . The architecture here used bones of demonic beasts as their version of reinforced cement, and it was naturally much stronger this way . Even some powerful warriors may not be able to break it down .

Besides that, there were also runes in its structure . These were part of the unique culture of this city . Otherwise, the buildings would collapse easily .

A flash of silhouette went by in the distance; a blood red attire, scarlet hair . Qing Shui was far too familiar with the figure and was momentarily stunned .

“Why is she here?”

Qing Shui didn’t expect to see Tantai Lingyan here, and she was alone . Qing Shui followed behind her slowly, wanting to see what she was up to . Why was she there?

Qing Shui didn’t think of it as fate . He was just surprised to have bumped into her here . How coincidental was that?

Tantai Lingyan didn’t seem to be running any errands but merely shopping around . She strolled along the street and took a casual look around .

“What a beautiful chick . I didn’t expect to meet such an extraordinary woman here,” a voice reached Qing Shui’s ears .

“Bing Shao, take a careful look . She could freeze someone to death . How can she be considered extraordinary?” Another voice joined the first .

“You won’t understand it . With such woman making you happy from down below, won’t you feel a sense of accomplishment?” Bing Shao replied, his eyes lighting up .

“Stop looking for trouble . I have work to do,” a young man spoke up . He had stayed silent while the other two were going on about it .

“Yang Shao, what’s there to be afraid of? What would happen even if we do this? We’re from the Nine Continents Food Residence, we aren’t afraid of anybody . ” Bing Shao retorted nonchalantly .

“Capture the Ninth-Grade Divine Chicken first before anything else . This is critical to the Nine Continents Food Residence . You can talk about whatever else later,” said Yang Shao gravely .
