AST 488 - Sword of Fifth Wave! Kill!
Right at the moment when Qing Shui's shield attack clashed against the Heaven Soaring Silver Tiger, Lin Yuchen's body suddenly moved horizontally by ten meters. He only barely dodged it!
Beng!
It was yet another loud clash!
The short wailing noise instantly disappeared.
The blood of the Heaven Soaring Silver Tiger spread out and covered the whole sky. Even a powerful demonic beast would be scattered and smashed by this attack.
However, Lin Yuchen has already dropped down to the back of the Fire Bird.
Qing Shui's heart thumped, he definitely couldn't afford to be bound by him. He ordered the Fire bird to continue soaring up at a high speed.
Lin Yuchen got shocked. After all, the flying beast under his feet wasn't his own. The higher it flew, the more dangerous it would be, hence he must let go of it. He looked underneath and saw a lot of small black dots rushing towards him.
He immediately felt a sense of relief. But he still needed to stop the Red Luan from flying upwards.
Peng!
Screech!
The Fire Bird wailed. Even though it was still soaring up the sky, it was a lot slower than before.
It turned out that Lin Yuchen exerted all of his strength to step on the back of the Fire Bird. He didn't dare to use too much strength as he was only attempting to hurt it. This way, it would cause the Fire Bird to fly a bit slower while keeping Qing Shui alive.
As Qing Shui observed Lin Yuchen's action, he felt enraged and hurt. He abruptly struck the Big Dipper Sword in his hand at Lin Yuchen. Qing Shui subconsciously used his currently most powerful continuous attacks.
Sword of Fourth Wave!
It's an attack of continuous waves!
At that instant, the Thousand Buddha Palm Imprint in the Thousand Buddha Grottoes flashed across Qing Shui's mind.
Beng-beng-beng-beng-peng!
Qing Shui was stunned. The Sword of Fourth Wave that he subconsciously used had actually made another breakthrough at this very moment. It straight away turned into five heavy waves.
Sword of Fifth Wave!
Even though the last strike still proved to be quite a challenge, but the previous four waves had shown clear signs that they ascended by one huge grade.
Most importantly, when it was used with Qing Shui's current strength, it's power was totally different from before. It was something that was on absolutely different terms.
At the moment when both Lin Yuchen's and Qing Shui's sword clashed, Lin Yuchen's expression instantly changed. At that moment, he realized how powerful the young man in front of him had actually become. At first, he thought that his opponent's previous attack was out of a hurry by borrowing the strength and speed of the Red Luan.
But now, he knew that he has made a huge mistake. A really, really huge mistake. Unfortunately, it's too late now.
Pu!
The formidable Sword of Fifth Wave directly attacked him. It was so strong that he got blown backwards. A big mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth.
Qing Shui was still immersed in the thought that he just brokethrough.
The Sword of Fifth Wave of the Nine Waves Great Golden Buddha Palm.
Qing Shui was a bit stunned by the accidental joy. Even though there was only one more wave compared to before, but the difference in strength was too great!
This was also the power of the heavy waves. It's just that it tend to consume a lot of energy when cultivating it. At that time, Qing Shui almost died on the Sword of Second Wave! From here, one could already tell just how powerful the Nine Waves Great Golden Buddha Palm was.
The Sword of Fifth Wave was the most crucial turning point.
Qing Shui looked at the man falling to the ground and he knew that it's already impossible for him to survive. The people below were riding their Flying Beast and seeing if they could grab him so that at least his corpse would remain intact. If they have waited for a bit longer, there would be no longer anyone who dared to grab him.
All of his organs has been shattered by the shockwave. There's no way for him to be alive even if he had wanted to!
Very quickly, the enormous flying beasts beneath let out air cutting noises. Qing Shui took a look at the Fire Bird that was injured. Even though the damage was quite light, it could no longer be used to forcefully clash against the enemies.
He let the Fire Bird flew outwards!
The advantage of being in mid-air was that there were a lot of escape routes. It could fly higher and higher. As long as it had speed, the opponents would be unable to surround and kill it.
He threw a Five Dragon Pellet into the Fire Bird's mouth. It was better than doing nothing.
At present, the Fire Bird's speed was obviously slower than before. The man's intention was to keep him alive. With his strength that was significantly greater than the Fire Bird's, if it wasn't because they were high up in the air, Qing Shui was convinced that he would have been able to destroy the Fire Bird with just one kick.
After flying five hundred miles, Qing Shui noticed that the Fire Bird was at its limit. It needed to be treated. Seeing as the surrounding areas were forest and mountains, Qing Shui made the Fire bird lower its speed.
"Quick! The Red Luan is injured!"
"Catch up to that kid! Wait for Mr Gong Qi to come over!"
"We must stop him!"
"Fei Sanyuan! Where is your poison? Use it quickly!"
……
As soon as Qing Shui descended to the ground, he immediately put the Fire Bird back into the Realm of Violet Jade Immortal. After that, he took out the Diamond Gigantic Elephant.
Qing Shui sat on the Overlord Storm and immediately put on a Gale Talisman! He also ordered the Diamond Gigantic Elephant to charge into the thick forest with large trees.
When one's there, flying beasts could basically be considered useless.
But the forest was quite far away from him. And most importantly, the flying beasts in the air had also begun to surround them.
Xiu-xiu…...
Qing Shui's continuously shot up the stones into the air.
There were some that got blinded after being shot by it whereas some unlucky ones died from being hit in the brain. Other than the three that died, the other four were saved by other flying beasts nearby.
At this moment, the people and the Demonic beasts on the ground had also rushed over.
Qing Shui continued to make his way into the mountains. The Diamond Gigantic Beast also pushed away a few of the surrounding Demonic beasts. But the large tiger that worried Qing Shui the most had yet to appear. This made Qing Shui feel really concerned.
Qing Shui has witnessed the speed of the tiger before. Since the rest of the demonic beasts that moved on their limbs had arrived, logically, the large tiger should have been here too.
Qing Shui released his Spiritual Sense!
At that instant, Qing Shui felt a bit of movement behind a rock to his left. That large stone was three hundred meters away from Qing Shui!
Three hundred meters, yet to Qing Shui, it all felt like it happened in a blink of an eye, the enormous Golden Spiritual Tiger charged into the Diamond Gigantic Elephant which was still running from the side at a speed faster than the wind. Qing Shui only just managed to block with the Violet Gold Divine Shield in time.
He didn't even get to use the Shield Attack!
Peng!
It was a depressing loud noise.Qing Shui brought along the Diamond Gigantic Elephant and immediately flung flying outwards!
At present, Qing Shui was feeling incomparably shocked. Simultaneously, he was also worried.
This speed of this silver white colored enormous Golden Spiritual Tiger could actually be fast to this extent. Most importantly, its defense was also extremely powerful and it possessed an offensive strength of approximately seven countries!
If it hadn't been for the Diamond Gigantic Elephant blocking more than half of the attack, he would have gotten injured by just that one strike. Things would be even worse if the attack directly landed on his body.
And he was still only talking about it with the Seven Stars Armor on!
Before Qing Shui came back to his senses, the enormous tiger has already charged towards him once again with a huge force.
"Damn it, what's there to be proud of just because you are a bit fast and strong!"
Qing Shui countered with the Violet Gold Divide Shield instantly.
Shield attack!
Beng!
He blocked it in time. Its speed was so fast that Qing Shui could only do it subconsciously.
This time, the enormous Golden Spiritual Tiger got blown away directly.
At this moment, Qing Shui felt particularly good.
Gong Qi who was sitting on top of the Golden Spiritual Hurricane Tiger Beast got so frightened that he turned pale. He knew better than anyone else just how strong the Old Ancestor's Golden Spiritual Hurricane Tiger Beast was.
Seven countries worth of offensive strength, Seven countries worth of defensive strength, even its speed was out indescribable! Some of the three or four countries worth Demonic Beast in the pinnacle of Martial King stage would be killed in an instant.
However, the brat in front of him had actually managed to hurt it to the point it got blown away. Even he himself was affected by the shockwave to the point he spewed out blood. But he looked on to see as if nothing seemed to affect the young man in the distance, so much that it didn't even cause him to go back by one step…...
Gong Qi felt relieved when he saw the Golden Spiritual Hurricane Tiger Beast uninjured. He fixed his sight at the large shield in Qing Shui's hand which was shining with a violet and golden light.
"Could it have something to do with that shield?"
At this moment, Qing Shui was surrounded. He was surrounded by no less than a hundred of men that were both on and off Demonic beasts. It seemed that these sects must have really looked up to him.
The majority of the people were from Sword Tower and Demonic Beast Sect. They accounted for a total of sixty percent of them. For the remaining people, Qing Shui could already tell where they were from by looking at their costumes. There were actually people from a total of ten clans!
No one was seen wearing costumes from Qin Clan and Hai Clan. However, there were a few that came from Academy of Demon Refinery.
Suddenly, a fragrant smell which was initially faint and later grew stronger started to spread out around here.
"Damn it! Fei Sanyuan! Give me the cure! You gave it to everyone else but me! Are you trying to kill me!?"
"You were poisoned by my 'Immortal Drunkness' and yet you are still so cocky?"
A sloppy-looking middle-aged man laughed as he said.
"Third brother? Third grandpa? I know I'm wrong now!" The middle-aged man from before said with his face puckered up.
"Catch!" Fei Sanyuan threw a green colored medicinal pull to the middle-aged man from before.
……
The only thing that Qing Shui felt was an unusual fragrance that rushed into his nose. He felt dizzy. But in an instant, the fresh odour started operating on its own and very quickly, it canceled out the discomfort that he felt earlier.
Nature Energy!
Qing Shui grinned, he has actually forgotten about this.
For safety purpose, Qing Shui quickly took out two Five Dragon Pellet. He swallowed one himself and made the Diamond Gigantic Elephant swallowed the other one.
At the moment when Qing Shui swallowed the medicinal pill, the enormous tiger once again charged into Qing Shui like a flash of light! This time, the strong middle-aged man, the man that looked tall and mighty with muscles that resembled those of a T-Rex chopped down his sword at Qing Shui.
Under the Shield Attack, as long as it was not an absolute power, it would be capable of hitting you until you fly!
Beng!
In that instant, Qing Shui released the Shield Attack with his left hand while grabbing a Binding Talisman in his right hand.
This time, even though it successfully blasted the enemy back, Qing Shui and the Diamond Gigantic Elephant was also blasted backwards. Furthermore, it had also caused Qing Shui's blood and Qi to surge violently.
The combined attack of the man from before and the enormous tiger had already exceeded the strength of his second grade Shield Attack. It was just that the Diamond Gigantic Elephant happened to be there, so it only canceled each other out.
Under the second grade Shield Attack, Qing Shui's power level barely made it to six countries worth of offensive strength. However, it was unable to destroy the defense of the large tiger.
Qing Shui looked at the uninjured tiger in the distance and immediately felt a bit helpless about it. Not only was it really fast, both its offensive and defensive strength were this formidable…….
He was unable to destroy its defense. The situation would just be less and less favorable to him if this went on any longer.
For example, at the moment when the enormous tiger initiated an attack, the people in the surroundings were also attacking Qing Shui. Arrows, poisons, misleading fogs and the internal attacks of the Demonic Beasts…...
Qing Shui took a look at the sky. Soon, really soon!
At present, Qing Shui was too exhausted to fight. He didn't have any offensive ability left. He could only defend and this was definitely not a solution!
After holding on for about a quarter of an hour, Qing Shui immediately disappeared.
Even the Diamond Gigantic Elephant also disappeared.
It was already the second day. The entrance to the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal was available once again.
Hence, Qing Shui grasped the opportunity and entered the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal without any hesitation.
"Where is he?"
"Could it be Shrinking Ruler?"
"Why didn't he use it previously? I suspect that it's a deceptive trick which is used by the assassins!" Said an old man wearing the Alchemist Sect attire.
"This happened before, everybody, take turns to guard this place, there should be a time limit!" Gong Qi said suddenly.
……
At this moment, Qing Shui was laying on the Realm of Violet Jade Immortal!
He thought over it and concluded that he only had two options. The first one was to wait for the Fire Bird to heal, then leave by riding on it. But he knew that the possibility was really small. He reckoned that there would definitely be flying beasts which could stop him outside after he went out.

AST 489 - Buddha Apparition, Heaven Defying Opportunity, Armor Break Talisman
However, Qing Shui had the confidence that he could resolve the situation as he had with the Heaven Soaring Silver Tiger.
He had just comprehended the Sword of Fifth Wave. If he abandoned the Violet Gold Divine Shield, it would not give him any advantages. He did not know how to break past the defense of that large tiger; this perversely strong beast left Qing Shui at a complete loss.
"Hmm, Armor Break Talisman?"
Qing Shui's eyes brightened, he could use the Armor Break Talisman!
However, when he considered that the decrease in defense was based on his own body, he felt that it was insignificant compared to the Diamond Gigantic Elephant or the tiger outside. Even though his defense among the humans, especially those below the Martial Saint level, was incomparable, it was still inferior to many of the Peak Martial King level beasts.
"Nevermind, there's plenty of time, this day just started, I have slightly more than a month." Qing Shui pondered, deciding to just draw the talisman first.
The frightful defense of the big tiger was around the strength of seven countries, even if he drew the Armor Break Talisman using the Golden Calligraphy Brush, it would only achieve an effect of 30%, at best 40%.
Qing Shui's current body's defense was about fifteen million jin, the strength of one and a half countries!
Amongst the human race, it was considered to be extremely ridiculous already!
40% of a strength of one and a half countries was only six million jin
Reducing the big tiger's defense by six million jin would not even decrease 10% of its defense, he still could not break through it, even if he could barely do it, so what?
Qing Shui was worried, looking at the people surrounding him outside. Although he had more than a month in the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal, it was only a few hours outside.
"Never mind, let's just draw the Armor Break Talisman first. Even if there is no effect we will deal with it then, at least a small decrease is better than no decrease at all," Qing Shui thought, deciding to take action.
He skillfully prepared the tools for drawing the talisman, only then did he begin to draw the Armor Break Talisman. However he felt very annoyed, maybe it was because the Armor Break Talisman might not even be useful.
Qing Shui might as well put down the Golden Calligraphy Brush and think about what to do next!
First, Qing Shui observed the surroundings, the most terrifying thing was not the big tiger, but the guy riding on the Heaven Soaring Silver Tiger. He was the Senior Martial Brother of the Misty Hall Palace Mistress, a pity that he'd died as a result of being careless and being off his guard.
Most importantly was that Qing Shui did not expect to break through to the Fifth Wave at that moment!
"En, The Fifth Wave!
Qing Shui decided to practice the Sword of Fifth Wave first, as long as he could become proficient in the Sword of Fifth Wave, he could repel the tiger. Qing Shui was just afraid that this one month of time would be insufficient.
Once he'd thought of that, Qing Shui's brain operated furiously, he seemed to have understood the crucial point of his dilemma. However, Qing Shui decided to just practice the Sword of Fifth Wave first, to consolidate his strength. He would try it out for half the time first and see the results.
"Ah, Thousand Buddha Palm Imprint!"
Qing Shui remembered as he was using the Sword of Fourth Wave, there were fleeting images of the Thousand Buddha Palm Imprint, the impressions it had left were very clear. This led Qing Shui to believe that the Nine Waves Great Golden Buddha Palm was related to the Thousand Buddha Palm Imprint.
In the past, Qing Shui had used to frequently practice the Thousand Buddha Palm Imprint, however, after smoothly practicing it to the 200's he was no longer to link it coherently, but the first 200 sets could be done in a breath.
However, when piercing toward the Senior Martial Brother of the Misty Hall Palace Mistress, one of the fleeting images he had of the Thousand Buddha Palm Imprint was not from the first 200, Qing Shui was sure that it had been after the first 200.
Qing Shui felt like there was an itch in his heart that could not be relieved.
Finally, Qing Shui decided to just follow the image he'd had in his mind and practice the Thousand Buddha Palm Imprint, to prove his theory!
240th Thousand Buddha Palm Imprint?
However, Qing Shui clearly remembered that he would always stop at the 200th Thousand Buddha Palm Imprint, he was never able to complete it beyond that.
Now that the Nine Waves Great Golden Buddha Palm had broken through to the Fifth Wave, the Thousand Buddha Palm Imprint had broken through the 200th Palm, even reaching to the 240th Palm!
Qing Shui immediately practiced the Thousand Buddha Palm Imprint, looking for that sense of continuity. Slowly, he found that it was very similar to when he was drawing talismans, they both required the sense of continuity to proceed forward.
Qing Shui knew this ability was cultivated by him drawing talismans!
Through the tens of thousands of attempts to draw the talisman!
Therefore, when practicing the Thousand Buddha Palm Imprint, Qing Shui felt like he was in his element, pushing onwards to the next palm after the first 200.
Qing Shui practiced at least ten times before moving on to the next one, the palm imprint was like a butterfly flying, a coexistence of mystery and beauty.
Qing Shui slowly felt intoxicated, and at the same time, frantic. His face had a faint trace of a smile, his dazzling hands executing the Thousand Buddha Palm Imprint, one palm after another, as though they were a whole, smooth and natural!
Pa!
He once again broke through to the next palm, his body had a golden glow like that of a treasure. Behind Qing Shui's back was actually the image of a Majestic Golden Buddha, extremely clear and sacred. It was ten meters tall, three meters wide; huge, divine and solemn. The Golden Buddha image was emitting a soft golden light, its eyes closed.
At that moment, Qing Shui's eyes suddenly opened wide, his whole body exuding a tremendous pressure!
Nature Energy!
Pa!
Qing Shui's Nature Energy actually broke through at this moment, Qing Shui could feel his strength had improved greatly once again, he'd even broken through a few small bottlenecks.
"Mental State akin to that of Immovable Mountains!"
At this moment, Qing Shui could feel that the "Mental State akin to that of Immovable Mountains" that had not improve for a long time, broke through as well. Originally, it had improved vigor by 50%, but Qing Shui felt that it increased less than 10% of his body's strength, and thus he had overlooked it.
Now Qing Shui could feel what "Immovable Mountains" really meant!
Increased 100% of vigor, a passive increase of defense by the strength of one country!
The defense of one country!
Qing Shui felt a huge change in his body's strength, there had been a qualitative change!
Qing Shui unconsciously turned his head and saw the huge Golden Buddha image behind him!
This time, Qing Shui was thoroughly shocked!
His Thousand Buddha Palm Imprint had reached the realm of Buddha Apparition, it was no wonder that his defense increased by the strength of one country. Looking at the dissipating Buddha image, Qing Shui felt that it was inconceivable, but could still understand it.
Yet another heaven-defying opportunity!
The tremendous shock had left Qing Shui stunned!
"Mental State akin to that of Immovable Mountains!"
For his body's defense to increase by the strength of one country, Qing Shui had nearly bit through his tongue at the thought of it. The vigor had increased from 50% to 100%.
Furthermore, his body's strength increased by 20%, this was the increase of the body's strength, just like using some techniques or strength increasing Medicinal Pills.
This was the true "Mental State akin to that of Immovable Mountains". What caused Qing Shui to feel weird was the earlier huge Divine Golden Buddha Image.
This caused Qing Shui to be curious about the origins of the "Nine Waves Great Golden Buddha Palm". What were the origins of that Xiantian cultivator that had been killed by him?
After cultivating the Buddha image, Qing Shui figured that this Nine Waves Great Golden Buddha Palm was the ultimate skill of the Buddhist sects, just the name itself made it obvious.
There was a relation between the World of the Nine Continents and Buddha, the sects with the strongest strength were either the Buddha Sect of the Central Continent or the Formless Divine Sect of the Eastern Victory Divine Continent, Qing Shui did not know which sect the Nine Waves Great Golden Buddha Palm came from.
Thinking about that Xiantian cultivator he'd killed, Qing Shui remembered when he had obtained the Nine Waves Great Golden Buddha Palm, there had also been an erotic diagram, the one in the diagram was a monk.
Joyous Meditation Sect!
Qing Shui currently understood some things about the Central Continent, after all, he intended to go there and the other continents. But Qing Shui had to first understand the major powers, sects, and clans of each Continent.
The Joyous Meditation Sect was the Central Continent's Buddha Sect's branch, just like the halls of Heavenly Palace, but they were not all located in the same location, instead they were scattered around.
It was said that the Joyous Meditation Sect and Joyous Sect had similar Duo Cultivation Techniques, but the Joyous Meditation Sect's Duo Cultivation Technique was one of the strongest.
Some Duo Cultivation did not require the interaction of Yin and Yang, Sex. Aside from physical Duo Cultivation, there was also the Duo Cultivation of the Mind; an interaction of the consciousness, the connection of the hearts of the male and female!
It only required the feets, hands and the hearts of the two cultivators!
The Joyous Meditation Sect mainly cultivated these two types of Duo Cultivation Techniques!
Qing Shui shook his head and stopped thinking. However, before he gained absolute strength, he shouldn't use the Nine Waves Great Golden Buddha Palm in front of a monk, but he could use the Sword of Fifth Wave he had comprehended.
From the very start, Qing Shui had persisted in unrelentingly practicing all his techniques, even the Basic Sword Techniques had been practiced to such a level, especially since these were not strong techniques in the first place.
The Thousand Buddha Palm Imprint had already advanced to the 301st Palm. At the 300th palm, that huge Golden Buddha image had appeared again.
It had caused Qing Shui's strength to improve a lot, it was an improvement of the body's strength and vigor, which had resulted in a 20% increase in strength.
This was the benefit of a strong body!
Qing Shui did not know what realm his "Mental State akin to that of Immovable Mountains" was, but compared to before, he had broken through a large bottleneck, entering into a new realm.
Following that, Qing Shui continued to practice a few more rounds of the Thousand Buddha Palm Imprint, feeling particularly happy, he felt more motivated in his cultivation.
Nine Waves Great Golden Buddha Palm!
He could feel the energy of the Fifth Wave blast out in an instant!
Success!
Qing Shui knew that his theory was correct, this Nine Waves Great Golden Buddha Palm was indeed related to the Thousand Buddha Palm Imprint. Qing Shui just could not figure out the exact relation between the two, nor did he care.
Picking up the Big Dipper Sword, Qing Shui once again executed the Sword of Fifth Wave. It finally did not have the sense of weakness it had earlier.
Unknowingly, it had passed three days in the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal! Qing Shui's Sword of Fifth Wave could barely be considered consolidated.
The breakthrough of the Mental State akin to that of Immovable Mountains along with the Thousand Buddha Palm Imprint had caused Qing Shui's heart to become more steadfast. He once again looked toward the Golden Calligraphy Brush and the Moonstone Ink Slab on the forging platform.
First, draw the Armor Break Talisman!
Currently, Qing Shui's strength had improved a bit, but it had allowed Qing Shui to see hope. Because not only had the Mental State akin to that of immovable mountains explosively improved his defense and vigor, it had raised his strength by 20%.
Although 2.6 million jin of strength could not turn the situation around, after adding the other techniques he had, armor, talismans. It was a total increase of the strength of one country.
Strength of one country!
That gave Qing Shui the confidence that if he could draw the Armor Break Talisman, he would be able to deal with the big tiger. Now that the situation had developed as such, this was all he could do.
This was a crucial moment, if Qing Shui dealt with all these people, the situation of the Greencloud Continent would change, even the future of Greencloud Continent would be changed, changed by Qing Shui.
Now, when Qing Shui drew the Armor Break Talisman, the process felt particularly smooth, maybe it was the result of him being in a good mood.
97%!
The first time he drew the Armor Break Talisman, he'd achieved a 97% completion, however, even it was short just by a little, it was still trash. Qing Shui felt good about this, in at most 2 days, he knew he would succeed.
Because drawing talismans had also improved his Thousand Buddha Palm Imprint, even more so when it had caused the Buddha Apparition to appear. It had allowed the Mental State akin to that of Immovable Mountains to have a qualitative improvement.
During the battle with the Senior Martial Brother of the Misty Hall Palace Mistress, he'd used the Sword of Fourth Wave, but because of his experiences in drawing talismans, it had affected Qing Shui and caused it to break through at that moment.
It did not break through when practicing normally, but when in danger, his body's potential exploded.
The shape of the Armor Break Talisman was simple, it was just a sharp sword pointing toward the heavens; it looked plain and had an air of calm murderous intent.
Qing Shui was now drawing the sword tip, it was also the last stroke. To draw that sharp edge, yet preserving the calm aura. With the experience from the last attempt, Qing Shui could do it smoothly.
With the Diamond Qi, Nature Energy and Qi of the Ancient Strengthening Technique, he could draw out that feeling.
When Qing Shui finally successfully drew the Armor Break Talisman, eight days had passed in the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal.
The might of the Armor Break Talisman decreased the defense by 30% with Qing Shui as the standard! Making Qing Shui feel helpless.
It was a good thing that his defense already reached the strength of two and a half countries. After calculating it, he could reduce almost eight million jin of defense from his opponent.
Qing Shui laughed!
Maybe he did not have to run anymore!
Most of the people outside would not be able to injure him, unless there was a character like the Old Ancestor or some cultivators that took an extreme path, like an assassin with extreme speed, but used deadly poison or incapacitating agents on a strong dagger.
This kind of person treated killing as their target, their strength may not be the best, but their killing abilities and survival abilities were the best. They could kill cultivator that were stronger than them by many times.
There was also the Beast Tamer. When comparing the tamed beasts and humans of equal levels, they were much stronger. The big tiger was one such example; if there were two or three, he would not stand much of a chance and would likely not even be able to withstand a single blow.

AST 490 - Great Revitalizing Pellet, Enormous Strength, Killing the Silver Horn Tyrant Bull King
After wearing the armour, Qing Shui now had the defense of three countries. Among the cultivators of the same level, he was considered exceedingly strong. He had, after all, consumed the Pure Gold Mystic Turtle Core, achieved to the realm of Buddha Apparition, allowing his "Mental State akin to that of Immovable Mountains" to advance to a whole new realm.
However, even this defense still could not be compared to that of the demonic beasts, not to mention the Diamond Gigantic Elephant, he couldn't even be compared to the big tiger. But, Qing Shui had a perversely strong item, as long as he used it, he would be like a tiger that had grown wings.
Seven Star Armored Vest!
For one hour, the Seven Star Armored Vest could directly raise Qing Shui's defense to the strength of six and a half, almost seven, countries. Qing Shui's blood boiled at the thought of it, he felt the impulse to directly rush out to that bunch of bastards and killed till he was satisfied.
But Qing Shui knew now was not the time, he needed to leave an escape route for himself. Of the time he had left in the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal, he needed to leave half of it available, in case there was danger, he could rely on it.
"There's still a few days left, what should I do?"
Qing Shui used his sword to execute the Sword of Fifth Wave with ease, thinking in his heart, it was best to make himself more dependable!
"Great Revitalizing Pellet!"
When Qing Shui saw the almost matured Stonegold Phoenix Tail Grass, he remembered the Great Revitalizing Pellet, which he had not refined. Given the situation, even if he failed, he had to try at least once.
If he was successful in refining it, Qing Shui had confidence he could destroy all these people!
The materials for the Great Revitalizing Pellet had long been prepared, Qing Shui just had not dared to refine it. He was afraid that with his current levels, he would fail. He was thinking of waiting for the Everlasting Pellet to be refined first, to wait for his Alchemic experience to be raised some more first, before attempting it.
However, Qing Shui decided to refine it today, after all, he had no guarantee that he could keep his life, living was the most important thing.
The recipe for the Great Revitalizing Pellet called for the Flower of Life, this time, Qing Shui had picked the 2nd flower, then started to familiarize himself with the process of the refinement.
Once Qing Shui completed all the preparatory work, he sat down to practice his Ancient Strengthening Technique, had something to eat and took a nap before attempting to refine it.
When using his primordial flames, Qing Shui circulated the recently improved second grade Nature Energy!
This was the first time Qing Shui had gotten so excited when refining Medicinal Pellets, even when he'd obtained the recipe for the Great Revitalizing Pellet, he hadn't been as excited. At that moment, he never imaged that his strength would be so great, that the strength added could be so strong.
Expanding his Spiritual sense, he was absolutely focused on the Golden Flint Iron Cauldron, using his hands to manipulate the primordial flames, making adjustments according to the changes in the Golden Flint Iron Cauldron.
…...
Three days of time quickly passed by!
The primordial flames in Qing Shui's hand were two foot long, the gray flames looked very frightening, the kind that seemed to devoured everything in the air.
Only after refining the Medicinal Pellet, Qing Shui realized that the earlier breakthrough also caused the primordial flames increase in strength by 100%, this caused Qing Shui to be even happier.
Because the primordial flames could finally be used as a weapon!
The might of the previous primordial flames had been weak, even when used to attack someone, it wasn't able to do any significant damage within a short time.
A regular silver needle would not be able to withstand the strength of the primordial flames, in most situations it would not be useful. There was no way to use the Gold Needles to pierce the heart like in the past, much less the Gold Needles imbued with the primordial flames.
When fighting with Feng Shamo, Qing Shui had thought about it, but hadn't had the opportunity to do so, most importantly, there was no need to do so.
Ding!
After a pleasant sound rang out, Qing Shui suddenly opened his eyes, a smile crept onto his face, as he then lowered the strength of the primordial flames in his hands slowly.
This continued for another day.
After stretching his body, he washed his face, as well as drank some All Aspect Nourishment Soup before slowly moving towards the Golden Flint Iron Cauldron.
Excitedly opening the Golden Flint Iron Cauldron!
"Two pellets! Two pellets! Two pellets…"
Qing Shui prayed as he slowly opened the cauldron, Qing Shui was stunned.
"Damn! It was three pellets, I should have prayed for four…"
There were three Medicinal Pellets rolling around in the Golden Flint Iron Cauldron, giving off a gentle golden light. They were about the same size as peaches and they looked especially beautiful.
Three pellets, Qing Shui had never expected that such a grade of Golden Flint Iron Cauldron had been capable of refining three pellets on his first try. After keeping one aside for Lin Zhanhan, he still had 2 for himself. He possibly had to use one tonight.
Without realizing it, half a month had passed. Qing Shui had undergone a great change,
Yet, only one hour had passed outside!
Qing Shui could still stay in the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal for more than twenty days, but Qing Shui wanted to leave an escape route for himself. Thus, Qing Shui had decided to rush out and make an attempt, after all, it was not as if he had no hope.
Resting till he recovered all his strength, he equipped his armor, weapon and the Violet Gold Divine Shield.
The Fire Bird's injuries were all healed long ago!
Qing Shui looked outside!
Perhaps it was because it was late in the night; although they weren't exhausted, they weren't particularly full of energy either.
Only the position of that big tiger was problematic, Qing Shui realized that once he'd rushed out, regardless of direction, he would be attacked by it.
There weren't many people around him, there were demonic beasts than there were people. Although their strength wase not equal to the tiger, they were still quite strong.
Silver Horn Tyrant Bull King, it was a Peak Martial King Demonic Beast, and it had great strength and defenses. Its damage was at the strength of five countries, its speed was normal, but when it executed the Tyrant Bull Rush, it could temporarily raise its speed by 100% and its strength by 50%; but it would only last for the time it takes for half a joss stick to burn, then it would be weakened for three days, leaving it at half its regular strength.
"Damn it, once it used the Tyrant Bull Rush, in addition the that big tiger, wouldn't I be finished?" Qing Shui felt depressed, Qing Shui was familiar with the Silver Horn Tyrant Bull King, he had read about it in the Archive of Demonic Beasts. The one in front of him was only an adolescent, a fully matured Silver Horn Tyrant Bull King would be nine meters long, four meters tall, and have two silver horns at least five meters long, pointing towards the heaven.
Qing Shui looked at another direction, this time it was not a demonic beast, but an old man, his head was full of silver hair, his eyes are pitch black, as though there were no whites, he gave off a weird and terrifying feeling, his eyes had a cold gleam.
The old man's figure looked slim, he wore the attire of the Sword Tower, there did not seem to be anything strange about him. Although he was not holding a weapon, because of his experience with Sword Tower, Qing Shui felt that this man specialized in the Sheathed Sword!
What lead Qing Shui to feel uneasy was not his strength, but that he was exuding a certain weirdness and an air of danger,
Qing Shui looked at the sky, causing him to smile bitterly. There were three Blue-eyed Storm Sparrowhawks, among the flying beasts under the Martial Saint level, it was one of the faster ones. Qing Shui noticed their wingspan was about 18 meters, its speed was slightly faster than the Fire Bird. If he stuck the Gale Talisman on the Fire Bird, it should still be faster than the Blue eyed Storm Sparrowhawk, however, they were already in the air, giving them the advantage.
Finally, Qing Shui had decided to rush toward that big tiger, he had to make ample preparations first, for there were at least two other life-threatening threats.
The Silver Horn Tyrant Bull King and the weird old man from Sword Tower!
Summoning the Diamond Gigantic Elephant!
Now he had the added 20% strength from the Nature Energy, defense of one country and 20% body's strength from the Mental State akin to that of Immovable Mountains.
At this moment, Qing Shui stuck the Godly Force Talisman, Divine Shield Talisman on his body, each of them increasing by 30% with him as the standard.
Qing Shui's current body's strength had reached 15.6 million jin of strength, adding on the auxiliary effects, the effects of the shield, Qing Shui's strength had reached a terrifying strength of seven countries!
The strength of seven countries!
Qing Shui's eyes were fiery, there was no longer a need to fear the tiger!
Seven Star Armored Vest!
There was a flash, under the effects of the Vest and the Shield, he also had the defense of seven countries!
It was time to take action!
Aside from the weird old man which had caused Qing Shui to be worried, there were no other things that would make him helpless.
Each hand was holding a bunch of talismans, there is the Armor Break Talisman, and the Binding Talisman!
Furthermore, on the Diamond Gigantic Elephant, he stuck on the Godly Force Talisman, Divine Shield Talisman and Gale Talisman!
Once he found a suitable moment, Qing Shui rode out on the Diamond Gigantic Elephant. In the blink of an eye, Qing Shui and the Diamond Gigantic Elephant executed the Mighty Elephant Stomp!
Mighty Elephant Stomp!
At the same time, he used his hidden weapon skills to send the talismans towards his surroundings, especially the big tiger, Silver Horn Tyrant Bull King and the weird old man.
Everything had happened so fast, without the slightest warning!
However, that tiger was quite quick witted, when the Mighty Elephant Stomp was executed, it avoided it. Causing the Mighty Elephant Stomp to only kill about 10 cultivators, whom Qing Shui had no interest in.
A loud sound shook the mountains, a nearby mountain had directly collapsed!
It was foggy everywhere! There were two deep fissures that had appeared, and a few large stones were dropping off a nearby cliff.
Moo!
There was a heaven shaking moo, following that, Qing Shui could sense the Silver Horn Tyrant Bull King madly rushing toward him.
"This animal, it actually immediately used the Tyrant Bull Stampede." Qing Shui looked at the rushing Silver Horn Tyrant Bull King, deciding to kill it first.
Mighty Elephant's Recklessness!
The Diamond Gigantic Elephant carried Qing Shui and rushed at the Silver Horn Tyrant Bull King. There were no cultivators riding on it, this caused Qing Shui to be very confident.
Boom!
At the moment the Diamond Gigantic Elephant and the Silver Horn Tyrant Bull King collided, the Violet Gold Divine Shield in his hand bashed the head of the Silver Horn Tyrant Bull King with all his might.
Although the coordination had not been good, causing some of the strength to be wasted, it was still sufficient to kill the Silver Horn Tyrant Bull King.
A loud sound followed as the large Silver Horn Tyrant Bull King flew back, its brain was partially gone, a shower of blood followed it.
However, Qing Shui did not notice, under the dense fog, when Qing Shui had attacked, the weird old man had also made his move. His speed was not slower than that big tiger, in his sleeve was a cold gleam that flashed toward Qing Shui's back.

AST 488 - Sword of Fifth Wave! Kill!
Right at the moment when Qing Shui's shield attack clashed against the Heaven Soaring Silver Tiger, Lin Yuchen's body suddenly moved horizontally by ten meters. He only barely dodged it!
Beng!
It was yet another loud clash!
The short wailing noise instantly disappeared.
The blood of the Heaven Soaring Silver Tiger spread out and covered the whole sky. Even a powerful demonic beast would be scattered and smashed by this attack.
However, Lin Yuchen has already dropped down to the back of the Fire Bird.
Qing Shui's heart thumped, he definitely couldn't afford to be bound by him. He ordered the Fire bird to continue soaring up at a high speed.
Lin Yuchen got shocked. After all, the flying beast under his feet wasn't his own. The higher it flew, the more dangerous it would be, hence he must let go of it. He looked underneath and saw a lot of small black dots rushing towards him.
He immediately felt a sense of relief. But he still needed to stop the Red Luan from flying upwards.
Peng!
Screech!
The Fire Bird wailed. Even though it was still soaring up the sky, it was a lot slower than before.
It turned out that Lin Yuchen exerted all of his strength to step on the back of the Fire Bird. He didn't dare to use too much strength as he was only attempting to hurt it. This way, it would cause the Fire Bird to fly a bit slower while keeping Qing Shui alive.
As Qing Shui observed Lin Yuchen's action, he felt enraged and hurt. He abruptly struck the Big Dipper Sword in his hand at Lin Yuchen. Qing Shui subconsciously used his currently most powerful continuous attacks.
Sword of Fourth Wave!
It's an attack of continuous waves!
At that instant, the Thousand Buddha Palm Imprint in the Thousand Buddha Grottoes flashed across Qing Shui's mind.
Beng-beng-beng-beng-peng!
Qing Shui was stunned. The Sword of Fourth Wave that he subconsciously used had actually made another breakthrough at this very moment. It straight away turned into five heavy waves.
Sword of Fifth Wave!
Even though the last strike still proved to be quite a challenge, but the previous four waves had shown clear signs that they ascended by one huge grade.
Most importantly, when it was used with Qing Shui's current strength, it's power was totally different from before. It was something that was on absolutely different terms.
At the moment when both Lin Yuchen's and Qing Shui's sword clashed, Lin Yuchen's expression instantly changed. At that moment, he realized how powerful the young man in front of him had actually become. At first, he thought that his opponent's previous attack was out of a hurry by borrowing the strength and speed of the Red Luan.
But now, he knew that he has made a huge mistake. A really, really huge mistake. Unfortunately, it's too late now.
Pu!
The formidable Sword of Fifth Wave directly attacked him. It was so strong that he got blown backwards. A big mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth.
Qing Shui was still immersed in the thought that he just brokethrough.
The Sword of Fifth Wave of the Nine Waves Great Golden Buddha Palm.
Qing Shui was a bit stunned by the accidental joy. Even though there was only one more wave compared to before, but the difference in strength was too great!
This was also the power of the heavy waves. It's just that it tend to consume a lot of energy when cultivating it. At that time, Qing Shui almost died on the Sword of Second Wave! From here, one could already tell just how powerful the Nine Waves Great Golden Buddha Palm was.
The Sword of Fifth Wave was the most crucial turning point.
Qing Shui looked at the man falling to the ground and he knew that it's already impossible for him to survive. The people below were riding their Flying Beast and seeing if they could grab him so that at least his corpse would remain intact. If they have waited for a bit longer, there would be no longer anyone who dared to grab him.
All of his organs has been shattered by the shockwave. There's no way for him to be alive even if he had wanted to!
Very quickly, the enormous flying beasts beneath let out air cutting noises. Qing Shui took a look at the Fire Bird that was injured. Even though the damage was quite light, it could no longer be used to forcefully clash against the enemies.
He let the Fire Bird flew outwards!
The advantage of being in mid-air was that there were a lot of escape routes. It could fly higher and higher. As long as it had speed, the opponents would be unable to surround and kill it.
He threw a Five Dragon Pellet into the Fire Bird's mouth. It was better than doing nothing.
At present, the Fire Bird's speed was obviously slower than before. The man's intention was to keep him alive. With his strength that was significantly greater than the Fire Bird's, if it wasn't because they were high up in the air, Qing Shui was convinced that he would have been able to destroy the Fire Bird with just one kick.
After flying five hundred miles, Qing Shui noticed that the Fire Bird was at its limit. It needed to be treated. Seeing as the surrounding areas were forest and mountains, Qing Shui made the Fire bird lower its speed.
"Quick! The Red Luan is injured!"
"Catch up to that kid! Wait for Mr Gong Qi to come over!"
"We must stop him!"
"Fei Sanyuan! Where is your poison? Use it quickly!"
……
As soon as Qing Shui descended to the ground, he immediately put the Fire Bird back into the Realm of Violet Jade Immortal. After that, he took out the Diamond Gigantic Elephant.
Qing Shui sat on the Overlord Storm and immediately put on a Gale Talisman! He also ordered the Diamond Gigantic Elephant to charge into the thick forest with large trees.
When one's there, flying beasts could basically be considered useless.
But the forest was quite far away from him. And most importantly, the flying beasts in the air had also begun to surround them.
Xiu-xiu…...
Qing Shui's continuously shot up the stones into the air.
There were some that got blinded after being shot by it whereas some unlucky ones died from being hit in the brain. Other than the three that died, the other four were saved by other flying beasts nearby.
At this moment, the people and the Demonic beasts on the ground had also rushed over.
Qing Shui continued to make his way into the mountains. The Diamond Gigantic Beast also pushed away a few of the surrounding Demonic beasts. But the large tiger that worried Qing Shui the most had yet to appear. This made Qing Shui feel really concerned.
Qing Shui has witnessed the speed of the tiger before. Since the rest of the demonic beasts that moved on their limbs had arrived, logically, the large tiger should have been here too.
Qing Shui released his Spiritual Sense!
At that instant, Qing Shui felt a bit of movement behind a rock to his left. That large stone was three hundred meters away from Qing Shui!
Three hundred meters, yet to Qing Shui, it all felt like it happened in a blink of an eye, the enormous Golden Spiritual Tiger charged into the Diamond Gigantic Elephant which was still running from the side at a speed faster than the wind. Qing Shui only just managed to block with the Violet Gold Divine Shield in time.
He didn't even get to use the Shield Attack!
Peng!
It was a depressing loud noise.Qing Shui brought along the Diamond Gigantic Elephant and immediately flung flying outwards!
At present, Qing Shui was feeling incomparably shocked. Simultaneously, he was also worried.
This speed of this silver white colored enormous Golden Spiritual Tiger could actually be fast to this extent. Most importantly, its defense was also extremely powerful and it possessed an offensive strength of approximately seven countries!
If it hadn't been for the Diamond Gigantic Elephant blocking more than half of the attack, he would have gotten injured by just that one strike. Things would be even worse if the attack directly landed on his body.
And he was still only talking about it with the Seven Stars Armor on!
Before Qing Shui came back to his senses, the enormous tiger has already charged towards him once again with a huge force.
"Damn it, what's there to be proud of just because you are a bit fast and strong!"
Qing Shui countered with the Violet Gold Divide Shield instantly.
Shield attack!
Beng!
He blocked it in time. Its speed was so fast that Qing Shui could only do it subconsciously.
This time, the enormous Golden Spiritual Tiger got blown away directly.
At this moment, Qing Shui felt particularly good.
Gong Qi who was sitting on top of the Golden Spiritual Hurricane Tiger Beast got so frightened that he turned pale. He knew better than anyone else just how strong the Old Ancestor's Golden Spiritual Hurricane Tiger Beast was.
Seven countries worth of offensive strength, Seven countries worth of defensive strength, even its speed was out indescribable! Some of the three or four countries worth Demonic Beast in the pinnacle of Martial King stage would be killed in an instant.
However, the brat in front of him had actually managed to hurt it to the point it got blown away. Even he himself was affected by the shockwave to the point he spewed out blood. But he looked on to see as if nothing seemed to affect the young man in the distance, so much that it didn't even cause him to go back by one step…...
Gong Qi felt relieved when he saw the Golden Spiritual Hurricane Tiger Beast uninjured. He fixed his sight at the large shield in Qing Shui's hand which was shining with a violet and golden light.
"Could it have something to do with that shield?"
At this moment, Qing Shui was surrounded. He was surrounded by no less than a hundred of men that were both on and off Demonic beasts. It seemed that these sects must have really looked up to him.
The majority of the people were from Sword Tower and Demonic Beast Sect. They accounted for a total of sixty percent of them. For the remaining people, Qing Shui could already tell where they were from by looking at their costumes. There were actually people from a total of ten clans!
No one was seen wearing costumes from Qin Clan and Hai Clan. However, there were a few that came from Academy of Demon Refinery.
Suddenly, a fragrant smell which was initially faint and later grew stronger started to spread out around here.
"Damn it! Fei Sanyuan! Give me the cure! You gave it to everyone else but me! Are you trying to kill me!?"
"You were poisoned by my 'Immortal Drunkness' and yet you are still so cocky?"
A sloppy-looking middle-aged man laughed as he said.
"Third brother? Third grandpa? I know I'm wrong now!" The middle-aged man from before said with his face puckered up.
"Catch!" Fei Sanyuan threw a green colored medicinal pull to the middle-aged man from before.
……
The only thing that Qing Shui felt was an unusual fragrance that rushed into his nose. He felt dizzy. But in an instant, the fresh odour started operating on its own and very quickly, it canceled out the discomfort that he felt earlier.
Nature Energy!
Qing Shui grinned, he has actually forgotten about this.
For safety purpose, Qing Shui quickly took out two Five Dragon Pellet. He swallowed one himself and made the Diamond Gigantic Elephant swallowed the other one.
At the moment when Qing Shui swallowed the medicinal pill, the enormous tiger once again charged into Qing Shui like a flash of light! This time, the strong middle-aged man, the man that looked tall and mighty with muscles that resembled those of a T-Rex chopped down his sword at Qing Shui.
Under the Shield Attack, as long as it was not an absolute power, it would be capable of hitting you until you fly!
Beng!
In that instant, Qing Shui released the Shield Attack with his left hand while grabbing a Binding Talisman in his right hand.
This time, even though it successfully blasted the enemy back, Qing Shui and the Diamond Gigantic Elephant was also blasted backwards. Furthermore, it had also caused Qing Shui's blood and Qi to surge violently.
The combined attack of the man from before and the enormous tiger had already exceeded the strength of his second grade Shield Attack. It was just that the Diamond Gigantic Elephant happened to be there, so it only canceled each other out.
Under the second grade Shield Attack, Qing Shui's power level barely made it to six countries worth of offensive strength. However, it was unable to destroy the defense of the large tiger.
Qing Shui looked at the uninjured tiger in the distance and immediately felt a bit helpless about it. Not only was it really fast, both its offensive and defensive strength were this formidable…….
He was unable to destroy its defense. The situation would just be less and less favorable to him if this went on any longer.
For example, at the moment when the enormous tiger initiated an attack, the people in the surroundings were also attacking Qing Shui. Arrows, poisons, misleading fogs and the internal attacks of the Demonic Beasts…...
Qing Shui took a look at the sky. Soon, really soon!
At present, Qing Shui was too exhausted to fight. He didn't have any offensive ability left. He could only defend and this was definitely not a solution!
After holding on for about a quarter of an hour, Qing Shui immediately disappeared.
Even the Diamond Gigantic Elephant also disappeared.
It was already the second day. The entrance to the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal was available once again.
Hence, Qing Shui grasped the opportunity and entered the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal without any hesitation.
"Where is he?"
"Could it be Shrinking Ruler?"
"Why didn't he use it previously? I suspect that it's a deceptive trick which is used by the assassins!" Said an old man wearing the Alchemist Sect attire.
"This happened before, everybody, take turns to guard this place, there should be a time limit!" Gong Qi said suddenly.
……
At this moment, Qing Shui was laying on the Realm of Violet Jade Immortal!
He thought over it and concluded that he only had two options. The first one was to wait for the Fire Bird to heal, then leave by riding on it. But he knew that the possibility was really small. He reckoned that there would definitely be flying beasts which could stop him outside after he went out.

AST 489 - Buddha Apparition, Heaven Defying Opportunity, Armor Break Talisman
However, Qing Shui had the confidence that he could resolve the situation as he had with the Heaven Soaring Silver Tiger.
He had just comprehended the Sword of Fifth Wave. If he abandoned the Violet Gold Divine Shield, it would not give him any advantages. He did not know how to break past the defense of that large tiger; this perversely strong beast left Qing Shui at a complete loss.
"Hmm, Armor Break Talisman?"
Qing Shui's eyes brightened, he could use the Armor Break Talisman!
However, when he considered that the decrease in defense was based on his own body, he felt that it was insignificant compared to the Diamond Gigantic Elephant or the tiger outside. Even though his defense among the humans, especially those below the Martial Saint level, was incomparable, it was still inferior to many of the Peak Martial King level beasts.
"Nevermind, there's plenty of time, this day just started, I have slightly more than a month." Qing Shui pondered, deciding to just draw the talisman first.
The frightful defense of the big tiger was around the strength of seven countries, even if he drew the Armor Break Talisman using the Golden Calligraphy Brush, it would only achieve an effect of 30%, at best 40%.
Qing Shui's current body's defense was about fifteen million jin, the strength of one and a half countries!
Amongst the human race, it was considered to be extremely ridiculous already!
40% of a strength of one and a half countries was only six million jin
Reducing the big tiger's defense by six million jin would not even decrease 10% of its defense, he still could not break through it, even if he could barely do it, so what?
Qing Shui was worried, looking at the people surrounding him outside. Although he had more than a month in the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal, it was only a few hours outside.
"Never mind, let's just draw the Armor Break Talisman first. Even if there is no effect we will deal with it then, at least a small decrease is better than no decrease at all," Qing Shui thought, deciding to take action.
He skillfully prepared the tools for drawing the talisman, only then did he begin to draw the Armor Break Talisman. However he felt very annoyed, maybe it was because the Armor Break Talisman might not even be useful.
Qing Shui might as well put down the Golden Calligraphy Brush and think about what to do next!
First, Qing Shui observed the surroundings, the most terrifying thing was not the big tiger, but the guy riding on the Heaven Soaring Silver Tiger. He was the Senior Martial Brother of the Misty Hall Palace Mistress, a pity that he'd died as a result of being careless and being off his guard.
Most importantly was that Qing Shui did not expect to break through to the Fifth Wave at that moment!
"En, The Fifth Wave!
Qing Shui decided to practice the Sword of Fifth Wave first, as long as he could become proficient in the Sword of Fifth Wave, he could repel the tiger. Qing Shui was just afraid that this one month of time would be insufficient.
Once he'd thought of that, Qing Shui's brain operated furiously, he seemed to have understood the crucial point of his dilemma. However, Qing Shui decided to just practice the Sword of Fifth Wave first, to consolidate his strength. He would try it out for half the time first and see the results.
"Ah, Thousand Buddha Palm Imprint!"
Qing Shui remembered as he was using the Sword of Fourth Wave, there were fleeting images of the Thousand Buddha Palm Imprint, the impressions it had left were very clear. This led Qing Shui to believe that the Nine Waves Great Golden Buddha Palm was related to the Thousand Buddha Palm Imprint.
In the past, Qing Shui had used to frequently practice the Thousand Buddha Palm Imprint, however, after smoothly practicing it to the 200's he was no longer to link it coherently, but the first 200 sets could be done in a breath.
However, when piercing toward the Senior Martial Brother of the Misty Hall Palace Mistress, one of the fleeting images he had of the Thousand Buddha Palm Imprint was not from the first 200, Qing Shui was sure that it had been after the first 200.
Qing Shui felt like there was an itch in his heart that could not be relieved.
Finally, Qing Shui decided to just follow the image he'd had in his mind and practice the Thousand Buddha Palm Imprint, to prove his theory!
240th Thousand Buddha Palm Imprint?
However, Qing Shui clearly remembered that he would always stop at the 200th Thousand Buddha Palm Imprint, he was never able to complete it beyond that.
Now that the Nine Waves Great Golden Buddha Palm had broken through to the Fifth Wave, the Thousand Buddha Palm Imprint had broken through the 200th Palm, even reaching to the 240th Palm!
Qing Shui immediately practiced the Thousand Buddha Palm Imprint, looking for that sense of continuity. Slowly, he found that it was very similar to when he was drawing talismans, they both required the sense of continuity to proceed forward.
Qing Shui knew this ability was cultivated by him drawing talismans!
Through the tens of thousands of attempts to draw the talisman!
Therefore, when practicing the Thousand Buddha Palm Imprint, Qing Shui felt like he was in his element, pushing onwards to the next palm after the first 200.
Qing Shui practiced at least ten times before moving on to the next one, the palm imprint was like a butterfly flying, a coexistence of mystery and beauty.
Qing Shui slowly felt intoxicated, and at the same time, frantic. His face had a faint trace of a smile, his dazzling hands executing the Thousand Buddha Palm Imprint, one palm after another, as though they were a whole, smooth and natural!
Pa!
He once again broke through to the next palm, his body had a golden glow like that of a treasure. Behind Qing Shui's back was actually the image of a Majestic Golden Buddha, extremely clear and sacred. It was ten meters tall, three meters wide; huge, divine and solemn. The Golden Buddha image was emitting a soft golden light, its eyes closed.
At that moment, Qing Shui's eyes suddenly opened wide, his whole body exuding a tremendous pressure!
Nature Energy!
Pa!
Qing Shui's Nature Energy actually broke through at this moment, Qing Shui could feel his strength had improved greatly once again, he'd even broken through a few small bottlenecks.
"Mental State akin to that of Immovable Mountains!"
At this moment, Qing Shui could feel that the "Mental State akin to that of Immovable Mountains" that had not improve for a long time, broke through as well. Originally, it had improved vigor by 50%, but Qing Shui felt that it increased less than 10% of his body's strength, and thus he had overlooked it.
Now Qing Shui could feel what "Immovable Mountains" really meant!
Increased 100% of vigor, a passive increase of defense by the strength of one country!
The defense of one country!
Qing Shui felt a huge change in his body's strength, there had been a qualitative change!
Qing Shui unconsciously turned his head and saw the huge Golden Buddha image behind him!
This time, Qing Shui was thoroughly shocked!
His Thousand Buddha Palm Imprint had reached the realm of Buddha Apparition, it was no wonder that his defense increased by the strength of one country. Looking at the dissipating Buddha image, Qing Shui felt that it was inconceivable, but could still understand it.
Yet another heaven-defying opportunity!
The tremendous shock had left Qing Shui stunned!
"Mental State akin to that of Immovable Mountains!"
For his body's defense to increase by the strength of one country, Qing Shui had nearly bit through his tongue at the thought of it. The vigor had increased from 50% to 100%.
Furthermore, his body's strength increased by 20%, this was the increase of the body's strength, just like using some techniques or strength increasing Medicinal Pills.
This was the true "Mental State akin to that of Immovable Mountains". What caused Qing Shui to feel weird was the earlier huge Divine Golden Buddha Image.
This caused Qing Shui to be curious about the origins of the "Nine Waves Great Golden Buddha Palm". What were the origins of that Xiantian cultivator that had been killed by him?
After cultivating the Buddha image, Qing Shui figured that this Nine Waves Great Golden Buddha Palm was the ultimate skill of the Buddhist sects, just the name itself made it obvious.
There was a relation between the World of the Nine Continents and Buddha, the sects with the strongest strength were either the Buddha Sect of the Central Continent or the Formless Divine Sect of the Eastern Victory Divine Continent, Qing Shui did not know which sect the Nine Waves Great Golden Buddha Palm came from.
Thinking about that Xiantian cultivator he'd killed, Qing Shui remembered when he had obtained the Nine Waves Great Golden Buddha Palm, there had also been an erotic diagram, the one in the diagram was a monk.
Joyous Meditation Sect!
Qing Shui currently understood some things about the Central Continent, after all, he intended to go there and the other continents. But Qing Shui had to first understand the major powers, sects, and clans of each Continent.
The Joyous Meditation Sect was the Central Continent's Buddha Sect's branch, just like the halls of Heavenly Palace, but they were not all located in the same location, instead they were scattered around.
It was said that the Joyous Meditation Sect and Joyous Sect had similar Duo Cultivation Techniques, but the Joyous Meditation Sect's Duo Cultivation Technique was one of the strongest.
Some Duo Cultivation did not require the interaction of Yin and Yang, Sex. Aside from physical Duo Cultivation, there was also the Duo Cultivation of the Mind; an interaction of the consciousness, the connection of the hearts of the male and female!
It only required the feets, hands and the hearts of the two cultivators!
The Joyous Meditation Sect mainly cultivated these two types of Duo Cultivation Techniques!
Qing Shui shook his head and stopped thinking. However, before he gained absolute strength, he shouldn't use the Nine Waves Great Golden Buddha Palm in front of a monk, but he could use the Sword of Fifth Wave he had comprehended.
From the very start, Qing Shui had persisted in unrelentingly practicing all his techniques, even the Basic Sword Techniques had been practiced to such a level, especially since these were not strong techniques in the first place.
The Thousand Buddha Palm Imprint had already advanced to the 301st Palm. At the 300th palm, that huge Golden Buddha image had appeared again.
It had caused Qing Shui's strength to improve a lot, it was an improvement of the body's strength and vigor, which had resulted in a 20% increase in strength.
This was the benefit of a strong body!
Qing Shui did not know what realm his "Mental State akin to that of Immovable Mountains" was, but compared to before, he had broken through a large bottleneck, entering into a new realm.
Following that, Qing Shui continued to practice a few more rounds of the Thousand Buddha Palm Imprint, feeling particularly happy, he felt more motivated in his cultivation.
Nine Waves Great Golden Buddha Palm!
He could feel the energy of the Fifth Wave blast out in an instant!
Success!
Qing Shui knew that his theory was correct, this Nine Waves Great Golden Buddha Palm was indeed related to the Thousand Buddha Palm Imprint. Qing Shui just could not figure out the exact relation between the two, nor did he care.
Picking up the Big Dipper Sword, Qing Shui once again executed the Sword of Fifth Wave. It finally did not have the sense of weakness it had earlier.
Unknowingly, it had passed three days in the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal! Qing Shui's Sword of Fifth Wave could barely be considered consolidated.
The breakthrough of the Mental State akin to that of Immovable Mountains along with the Thousand Buddha Palm Imprint had caused Qing Shui's heart to become more steadfast. He once again looked toward the Golden Calligraphy Brush and the Moonstone Ink Slab on the forging platform.
First, draw the Armor Break Talisman!
Currently, Qing Shui's strength had improved a bit, but it had allowed Qing Shui to see hope. Because not only had the Mental State akin to that of immovable mountains explosively improved his defense and vigor, it had raised his strength by 20%.
Although 2.6 million jin of strength could not turn the situation around, after adding the other techniques he had, armor, talismans. It was a total increase of the strength of one country.
Strength of one country!
That gave Qing Shui the confidence that if he could draw the Armor Break Talisman, he would be able to deal with the big tiger. Now that the situation had developed as such, this was all he could do.
This was a crucial moment, if Qing Shui dealt with all these people, the situation of the Greencloud Continent would change, even the future of Greencloud Continent would be changed, changed by Qing Shui.
Now, when Qing Shui drew the Armor Break Talisman, the process felt particularly smooth, maybe it was the result of him being in a good mood.
97%!
The first time he drew the Armor Break Talisman, he'd achieved a 97% completion, however, even it was short just by a little, it was still trash. Qing Shui felt good about this, in at most 2 days, he knew he would succeed.
Because drawing talismans had also improved his Thousand Buddha Palm Imprint, even more so when it had caused the Buddha Apparition to appear. It had allowed the Mental State akin to that of Immovable Mountains to have a qualitative improvement.
During the battle with the Senior Martial Brother of the Misty Hall Palace Mistress, he'd used the Sword of Fourth Wave, but because of his experiences in drawing talismans, it had affected Qing Shui and caused it to break through at that moment.
It did not break through when practicing normally, but when in danger, his body's potential exploded.
The shape of the Armor Break Talisman was simple, it was just a sharp sword pointing toward the heavens; it looked plain and had an air of calm murderous intent.
Qing Shui was now drawing the sword tip, it was also the last stroke. To draw that sharp edge, yet preserving the calm aura. With the experience from the last attempt, Qing Shui could do it smoothly.
With the Diamond Qi, Nature Energy and Qi of the Ancient Strengthening Technique, he could draw out that feeling.
When Qing Shui finally successfully drew the Armor Break Talisman, eight days had passed in the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal.
The might of the Armor Break Talisman decreased the defense by 30% with Qing Shui as the standard! Making Qing Shui feel helpless.
It was a good thing that his defense already reached the strength of two and a half countries. After calculating it, he could reduce almost eight million jin of defense from his opponent.
Qing Shui laughed!
Maybe he did not have to run anymore!
Most of the people outside would not be able to injure him, unless there was a character like the Old Ancestor or some cultivators that took an extreme path, like an assassin with extreme speed, but used deadly poison or incapacitating agents on a strong dagger.
This kind of person treated killing as their target, their strength may not be the best, but their killing abilities and survival abilities were the best. They could kill cultivator that were stronger than them by many times.
There was also the Beast Tamer. When comparing the tamed beasts and humans of equal levels, they were much stronger. The big tiger was one such example; if there were two or three, he would not stand much of a chance and would likely not even be able to withstand a single blow.

AST 490 - Great Revitalizing Pellet, Enormous Strength, Killing the Silver Horn Tyrant Bull King
After wearing the armour, Qing Shui now had the defense of three countries. Among the cultivators of the same level, he was considered exceedingly strong. He had, after all, consumed the Pure Gold Mystic Turtle Core, achieved to the realm of Buddha Apparition, allowing his "Mental State akin to that of Immovable Mountains" to advance to a whole new realm.
However, even this defense still could not be compared to that of the demonic beasts, not to mention the Diamond Gigantic Elephant, he couldn't even be compared to the big tiger. But, Qing Shui had a perversely strong item, as long as he used it, he would be like a tiger that had grown wings.
Seven Star Armored Vest!
For one hour, the Seven Star Armored Vest could directly raise Qing Shui's defense to the strength of six and a half, almost seven, countries. Qing Shui's blood boiled at the thought of it, he felt the impulse to directly rush out to that bunch of bastards and killed till he was satisfied.
But Qing Shui knew now was not the time, he needed to leave an escape route for himself. Of the time he had left in the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal, he needed to leave half of it available, in case there was danger, he could rely on it.
"There's still a few days left, what should I do?"
Qing Shui used his sword to execute the Sword of Fifth Wave with ease, thinking in his heart, it was best to make himself more dependable!
"Great Revitalizing Pellet!"
When Qing Shui saw the almost matured Stonegold Phoenix Tail Grass, he remembered the Great Revitalizing Pellet, which he had not refined. Given the situation, even if he failed, he had to try at least once.
If he was successful in refining it, Qing Shui had confidence he could destroy all these people!
The materials for the Great Revitalizing Pellet had long been prepared, Qing Shui just had not dared to refine it. He was afraid that with his current levels, he would fail. He was thinking of waiting for the Everlasting Pellet to be refined first, to wait for his Alchemic experience to be raised some more first, before attempting it.
However, Qing Shui decided to refine it today, after all, he had no guarantee that he could keep his life, living was the most important thing.
The recipe for the Great Revitalizing Pellet called for the Flower of Life, this time, Qing Shui had picked the 2nd flower, then started to familiarize himself with the process of the refinement.
Once Qing Shui completed all the preparatory work, he sat down to practice his Ancient Strengthening Technique, had something to eat and took a nap before attempting to refine it.
When using his primordial flames, Qing Shui circulated the recently improved second grade Nature Energy!
This was the first time Qing Shui had gotten so excited when refining Medicinal Pellets, even when he'd obtained the recipe for the Great Revitalizing Pellet, he hadn't been as excited. At that moment, he never imaged that his strength would be so great, that the strength added could be so strong.
Expanding his Spiritual sense, he was absolutely focused on the Golden Flint Iron Cauldron, using his hands to manipulate the primordial flames, making adjustments according to the changes in the Golden Flint Iron Cauldron.
…...
Three days of time quickly passed by!
The primordial flames in Qing Shui's hand were two foot long, the gray flames looked very frightening, the kind that seemed to devoured everything in the air.
Only after refining the Medicinal Pellet, Qing Shui realized that the earlier breakthrough also caused the primordial flames increase in strength by 100%, this caused Qing Shui to be even happier.
Because the primordial flames could finally be used as a weapon!
The might of the previous primordial flames had been weak, even when used to attack someone, it wasn't able to do any significant damage within a short time.
A regular silver needle would not be able to withstand the strength of the primordial flames, in most situations it would not be useful. There was no way to use the Gold Needles to pierce the heart like in the past, much less the Gold Needles imbued with the primordial flames.
When fighting with Feng Shamo, Qing Shui had thought about it, but hadn't had the opportunity to do so, most importantly, there was no need to do so.
Ding!
After a pleasant sound rang out, Qing Shui suddenly opened his eyes, a smile crept onto his face, as he then lowered the strength of the primordial flames in his hands slowly.
This continued for another day.
After stretching his body, he washed his face, as well as drank some All Aspect Nourishment Soup before slowly moving towards the Golden Flint Iron Cauldron.
Excitedly opening the Golden Flint Iron Cauldron!
"Two pellets! Two pellets! Two pellets…"
Qing Shui prayed as he slowly opened the cauldron, Qing Shui was stunned.
"Damn! It was three pellets, I should have prayed for four…"
There were three Medicinal Pellets rolling around in the Golden Flint Iron Cauldron, giving off a gentle golden light. They were about the same size as peaches and they looked especially beautiful.
Three pellets, Qing Shui had never expected that such a grade of Golden Flint Iron Cauldron had been capable of refining three pellets on his first try. After keeping one aside for Lin Zhanhan, he still had 2 for himself. He possibly had to use one tonight.
Without realizing it, half a month had passed. Qing Shui had undergone a great change,
Yet, only one hour had passed outside!
Qing Shui could still stay in the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal for more than twenty days, but Qing Shui wanted to leave an escape route for himself. Thus, Qing Shui had decided to rush out and make an attempt, after all, it was not as if he had no hope.
Resting till he recovered all his strength, he equipped his armor, weapon and the Violet Gold Divine Shield.
The Fire Bird's injuries were all healed long ago!
Qing Shui looked outside!
Perhaps it was because it was late in the night; although they weren't exhausted, they weren't particularly full of energy either.
Only the position of that big tiger was problematic, Qing Shui realized that once he'd rushed out, regardless of direction, he would be attacked by it.
There weren't many people around him, there were demonic beasts than there were people. Although their strength wase not equal to the tiger, they were still quite strong.
Silver Horn Tyrant Bull King, it was a Peak Martial King Demonic Beast, and it had great strength and defenses. Its damage was at the strength of five countries, its speed was normal, but when it executed the Tyrant Bull Rush, it could temporarily raise its speed by 100% and its strength by 50%; but it would only last for the time it takes for half a joss stick to burn, then it would be weakened for three days, leaving it at half its regular strength.
"Damn it, once it used the Tyrant Bull Rush, in addition the that big tiger, wouldn't I be finished?" Qing Shui felt depressed, Qing Shui was familiar with the Silver Horn Tyrant Bull King, he had read about it in the Archive of Demonic Beasts. The one in front of him was only an adolescent, a fully matured Silver Horn Tyrant Bull King would be nine meters long, four meters tall, and have two silver horns at least five meters long, pointing towards the heaven.
Qing Shui looked at another direction, this time it was not a demonic beast, but an old man, his head was full of silver hair, his eyes are pitch black, as though there were no whites, he gave off a weird and terrifying feeling, his eyes had a cold gleam.
The old man's figure looked slim, he wore the attire of the Sword Tower, there did not seem to be anything strange about him. Although he was not holding a weapon, because of his experience with Sword Tower, Qing Shui felt that this man specialized in the Sheathed Sword!
What lead Qing Shui to feel uneasy was not his strength, but that he was exuding a certain weirdness and an air of danger,
Qing Shui looked at the sky, causing him to smile bitterly. There were three Blue-eyed Storm Sparrowhawks, among the flying beasts under the Martial Saint level, it was one of the faster ones. Qing Shui noticed their wingspan was about 18 meters, its speed was slightly faster than the Fire Bird. If he stuck the Gale Talisman on the Fire Bird, it should still be faster than the Blue eyed Storm Sparrowhawk, however, they were already in the air, giving them the advantage.
Finally, Qing Shui had decided to rush toward that big tiger, he had to make ample preparations first, for there were at least two other life-threatening threats.
The Silver Horn Tyrant Bull King and the weird old man from Sword Tower!
Summoning the Diamond Gigantic Elephant!
Now he had the added 20% strength from the Nature Energy, defense of one country and 20% body's strength from the Mental State akin to that of Immovable Mountains.
At this moment, Qing Shui stuck the Godly Force Talisman, Divine Shield Talisman on his body, each of them increasing by 30% with him as the standard.
Qing Shui's current body's strength had reached 15.6 million jin of strength, adding on the auxiliary effects, the effects of the shield, Qing Shui's strength had reached a terrifying strength of seven countries!
The strength of seven countries!
Qing Shui's eyes were fiery, there was no longer a need to fear the tiger!
Seven Star Armored Vest!
There was a flash, under the effects of the Vest and the Shield, he also had the defense of seven countries!
It was time to take action!
Aside from the weird old man which had caused Qing Shui to be worried, there were no other things that would make him helpless.
Each hand was holding a bunch of talismans, there is the Armor Break Talisman, and the Binding Talisman!
Furthermore, on the Diamond Gigantic Elephant, he stuck on the Godly Force Talisman, Divine Shield Talisman and Gale Talisman!
Once he found a suitable moment, Qing Shui rode out on the Diamond Gigantic Elephant. In the blink of an eye, Qing Shui and the Diamond Gigantic Elephant executed the Mighty Elephant Stomp!
Mighty Elephant Stomp!
At the same time, he used his hidden weapon skills to send the talismans towards his surroundings, especially the big tiger, Silver Horn Tyrant Bull King and the weird old man.
Everything had happened so fast, without the slightest warning!
However, that tiger was quite quick witted, when the Mighty Elephant Stomp was executed, it avoided it. Causing the Mighty Elephant Stomp to only kill about 10 cultivators, whom Qing Shui had no interest in.
A loud sound shook the mountains, a nearby mountain had directly collapsed!
It was foggy everywhere! There were two deep fissures that had appeared, and a few large stones were dropping off a nearby cliff.
Moo!
There was a heaven shaking moo, following that, Qing Shui could sense the Silver Horn Tyrant Bull King madly rushing toward him.
"This animal, it actually immediately used the Tyrant Bull Stampede." Qing Shui looked at the rushing Silver Horn Tyrant Bull King, deciding to kill it first.
Mighty Elephant's Recklessness!
The Diamond Gigantic Elephant carried Qing Shui and rushed at the Silver Horn Tyrant Bull King. There were no cultivators riding on it, this caused Qing Shui to be very confident.
Boom!
At the moment the Diamond Gigantic Elephant and the Silver Horn Tyrant Bull King collided, the Violet Gold Divine Shield in his hand bashed the head of the Silver Horn Tyrant Bull King with all his might.
Although the coordination had not been good, causing some of the strength to be wasted, it was still sufficient to kill the Silver Horn Tyrant Bull King.
A loud sound followed as the large Silver Horn Tyrant Bull King flew back, its brain was partially gone, a shower of blood followed it.
However, Qing Shui did not notice, under the dense fog, when Qing Shui had attacked, the weird old man had also made his move. His speed was not slower than that big tiger, in his sleeve was a cold gleam that flashed toward Qing Shui's back.
