AST 581 – Demon Binding Ropes? A friend surpassing the level of a soul mate
Earlier, the Diamond Gigantic Elephant used a Mighty Elephant Stomp to turn these villas into ruins. Now, within the villas there were still some wretched howls coming out, but no one came out.
Qing Shui just stood there and the Diamond Gigantic Elephant returned to his side. Yiye Jiange could only stare blankly at the Diamond Gigantic Elephant, even now she still felt that she was dreaming.
The 30 odd severely injured old men who escaped earlier stood up and walking unsteadily over to Qing Shui!
"Sire, the Zhan Clan relied on their great strength and forced a hundred clans of the Four Seas Country to merge into the Hundred Clan War Barracks. We had no other choice, they used our families as hostages."
"Bring us to the Zhan Clan!"
Qing Shui said expressionlessly.
At a glance, everything within sight had already turned into ruins. However, the villa was big. Although the houses had collapsed, the number of people injured or dead were not many.
Many people were gathered together. A very small portion of people stood on the other side, their faces were filled with pride. Qing Shui felt that they should be the people from the Zhan Clan, furthermore, they were not aware that their backer had already died.
When that group of people saw Qing Shui and his group appear, they seemed to have realized something was awry. Their originally prideful faces now seemed to express shock.
However, the eyes of the rest brightened and stared intently at this strong and handsome youth. A tall and sturdy man suddenly roared out: "Zhan pig, it is time to repay the debt of violating my wife!"
"And my wife as well!"
"My younger sister was forced to death by him!"
……
The scene that occurred in an instant caused Qing Shui to stupefied. The people of the Zhan Clan were quickly beaten to death by the angry mob……
"Sire, as you see, they are innocent. We old men are not afraid to die., If it were not for them, then so what if we were killed by the Zhan Clan." the earlier old man sighed.
Everyone from the Zhan Clan perished. However, Qing Shui did not kill any of the others. After he asked about where the territory of the Zhan Clan was, Qing Shui went and stopped at a big rock garden.
This was originally a big rock garden in the backyard of the Zhan Clan, It was a pity that after the pavilions were destroyed, this rock garden obviously became damaged.
Although the main gates were sturdy, Qing Shui felt that the strength of 200 countries would be sufficient to force it open. This job naturally fell to the Diamond Gigantic Elephant.
"Boom!"
The huge gate made of an unknown metal had a hole knocked into it; the unusual stone of the rock garden also crumbled.
More than half of the rock garden collapsed!
A set of perfectly straight stone steps extended downwards, Setting up a treasury like this was common in the World of the Nine Continents. Just like the designs of the pavilions, where the first thing you see when you enter was the living room. These were the habits that were accumulated over time.
As the body of the Diamond Gigantic Elephant was too big, it could only wait outside. As for the two young girls and Yiye Jiange, Qing Shui got them to stay outside!
"It is too dangerous to go alone……"
After Yiye Jiange said that, she lowered her head. Earlier, she had thought that they would not be able to escape. Thus she revealed the feelings in her heart. Now when she thought about it, she felt flustered. Now that they were out of trouble, she suddenly felt embarrassed.
"Weng Weng……"
"With them leading the way, you can relax. I will not risk my life because of greed, I am very afraid of death." Qing Shui smiled after saying that, then proceeded to follow the Jade Emperor Bees down.
He is afraid of death, yet in order to allow the two young girls to live, he could risk his own life without hesitating……
"How poor!"
Qing Shui found out in dismay that the things here were all second rate. In other words, they were not able to catch Qing Shui's attention. When he looked through the Demonic Beast Skins, the best was only a low-grade Martial King leveled Demonic Beast skin, however, Qing Shui could still keep them to use for drawing. As for weapons and armors, Qing Shui just took a quick look.
Medicinal herbs above a thousand years in age were taken away but there weren't too many of those. However, at least he could use those. As he looked through, he kept the stuff he wanted in the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal. He kept grumbling about despite the Zhan Clan have Martial Saints, they were this poor.
Even when he was about to arrive at the deepest areas, Qing Shui did not discover any decent items!
"En!"
Just when Qing Shui was about to give up, Qing Shui suddenly discovered a faint mysterious Spiritual energy using his Spiritual Sense. His heart beat faster, he had encountered this feeling once before. That was when he sensed the Soulshake bell in Southern City.
Finally, Qing Shui locked his gaze on a grayish rope. This was the source of the Spiritual energy fluctuations.
Dust completely covered that rope. Qing Shui used his hands to sweep away most of the dust, exposing its original color.
Light yellow color!
When Qing Shui took a look, his heart was stirred!
Demon Binding Ropes!
It was actually the Demon Binding Ropes. Qing Shui looked at that item that looked exactly the same as the one in his memories. It was giving off a mysterious Spiritual energy, that light yellow colored rope seemed to be robust and powerful.
"It can't be that it only looks like it!" Qing Shui stretched his hands out to pick up the rope that looked like the Demon Binding Ropes. Upon contact with it, Qing Shui knew that this rope was made from the tendons of Demonic Beasts……
Till now, the Demonic beast tendons that he touched so far were not as strong as this tendon Even the tendon of the Three-Headed Dark Cloud Armored Beast could not compare to it.
This strip of tendon had been refined by a blacksmith. Qing Shui thought about the abilities of the Soulshake bell, but he did not know why did the Zhan Clan leave the rope here and not use it. Since they placed it here, they probably did not know the value of it. However, he thought about how the things here were not good. Within the treasury of the Zhan Clan, only this item was pretty good; maybe they could not figure out how to use it……
He circulated the Qi of the Ancient Strengthening Technique and slowly infused it into the Demon Binding Ropes. Soon, Qing Shui could feel a problem; the insides did not seemed to be connected. He just threw it into the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal, preparing to go back and use the Ancient Strengthening Technique restore it. If he could restore it, it would be much stronger.
Qing Shui was looking forward to using the Demon Binding Ropes. After being bound by this thing, the target would not be able to move and could only get slaughtered by others. However, he did not know how long would it last for.
Shaking his head, Qing Shui made his way out. If that was indeed the Demon Binding Ropes, then this time there was a big harvest. This treasury that was worse than the storehouse of a bandit……
"Father, is there anything good?" Luan Luan blinked her big eyes and asked in curiosity.
"They are really poor, I only took a few beast skins and herbs, the rest of the items are trash." Qing Shui stretched his hands out to rub Luan Luan's head.
"Let's go home, or else grandfather and the others will keep thinking about us." Qing Shui summoned the Fire Bird!
"Father, let me ride on that golden elephant!" Luan Luan asked hopefully as she hugged Qing Shui's neck.
Qing Shui directly summoned the Diamond Gigantic Elephant in midair. Luan Luan pulled Yuchang on to it, then turn her head to look at Qing Shui and blinked her large eyes. "Have a good talk with mother, we won't disturb you."
Qing Shui watched as the two young girls laughed and climbed onto the back of the Diamond Gigantic Elephant. He shook his head helplessly. Qing Shui did not know if she could remember the moment when they met. Back then, she was only three years old, the age where memories were still hazy. It was not clear how much she could remember now, the young lass was already thirteen years old.
Qing Shui turned his head to look at Yiye Jiange, who was looking into the distance. Her powdered neck seemed to be slightly flushed red from the side. Qing Shui did not think too much of it. From the very start, he had pretended to be husband and wife with this woman he used to call master so that Luan Luan would have both a father and mother.
Only, Qing Shui kept feeling that it was unfair to Yiye Jiange. This was because aside from Yiye Jiange, Qing Shui still had other women, but she was alone.
"Even so she thinks that it is unfair for me!" Qing Shui really did not know how to repay her.
"I hope that you would be blissful and happy, only, I do not know how to make that happen." Qing Shui gently said, looking at Yiye Jiange's side.
Although he had stood beside her plenty of times, he never felt close to her. In front of her, Qing Shui always felt like a child that does not grow old.
She was an otherworldly woman who did not speak much; Qing Shui never knew what she was thinking about or what she wanted. Today was the first time he saw her cry. From that moment Qing Shui knew that she actually had feelings for him, that she could cry and have a soft side. At that moment Qing Shui felt like his heart was being pricked, just like how he felt when he saw his mother being hurt.
Up until now, Qing Shui knew that he had treated Yiye Jiange as one of his closest family.
"I am now very blessed and happy!" Yiye Jiange glanced back at Qing Shui and said.
"I will definitely bring you to the Lion King’s Ridge. Aside from this, can you tell me if you have any other wishes or dreams." Qing Shui did not know how could he give her happiness.
"I hope for Luan Luan to be healthy and to grow up happily!" Yiye Jiange said after she thought for a while.
"This is a definite thing, it does not count, say another one." Qing Shui answered with a smile.
"I hope for your family to be happy and safe!"
"Thank you, but this does not count either. Ask for something for yourself, like items you desire, anything you want to do, or any dreams?" Qing Shui looked at Yiye Jiange's eyes and said
"I do not know what I would want, nor do I have anything I want to do. As for dreams, that would be what I said earlier. In addition to that, I also hope to see that one day, you don't have to toil so hard anymore."
Qing Shui felt moved in his heart. This woman was his master and his friend, a friend that understood him well. It was a pity that he did not understand her or what she wanted.
She had no desires nor demands. Although it was not exactly like that, but it was very close. Maybe now, Luan Luan was her only weak spot. Qing Shui always wanted to ask her a question, but he did not dare to.
"Do you want to say something? Say it, why are you afraid." Yiye Jiange smiled gently when she saw Qing Shui wanting to say something but then hesitating.
That gentle smile caused Qing Shui to relaxed. After thinking for a little then he slowly said, "Master, do you plan to be alone like this forever? Luan Luan should have a bright future, but what about master?
"Why are you calling me master? You really want to see me marry someone?" The gaze that Yiye Jiange used to look at Qing Shui seemed to fluctuate.

AST 582 – Nourishing the Blackjade Poisonous Spiderweb with poison! It really is the Demon Binding Ropes
"Why are you calling me master again? Do you really wish for me to get married so badly?" There was an indescribable emotion in Yiye Jiange's eyes as she was looked at Qing Shui.
"No no, I don't want you to get married… Not that I want you…" This was the first time Qing Shui got stuck with his words. He felt really anxious, to the point he started sweating.
Yiye Jiange smiled when she saw Qing Shui's reaction "I'm fine, you don't have to feel so nervous. Just tell me whatever is on your mind. I know that you are doing this for my own good."
"I feel that master, deep down, you are a really lonely person. And I think that there are a lot of things that master has been keeping to herself not knowing who to talk to as well. That's why I believe that master will feel a lot happier if you are in love with a person." Qing Shui felt really exhausting when he said all of these, so much so that even the way he structured his sentence sounded really awkward. Despite that, he still managed to confess his feelings.
"I don't have anyone I like at the moment……" Yiye Jiange looked at Qing Shui. Though there was a trace of joy across her face, her expression was somewhat indescribable.
"Master, until you find yourself a man you like, why don't you let me take care of you? You don't have to treat me like a friend. You can treat me like your brother, just like I'm a part of your family. I can give you everything that I have." Qing Shui looked at Yiye Jiange and said with a serious expression. Within his clear and tranquil eyes lay a kind of indescribable persistence.
Yiye Jiange smiled. Her smile looked really perfect as she extended her hand and rubbed Qing Shui's head: "Alright! It's a deal!"
Qing Shui got infected by her smile and gave a simple and honest smile as well. At this moment, he felt unusually relaxed as if he just let go of an extremely heavy load.
Qing Shui saw a glimmer of hope. As it turned out, the only thing left which he was unable to let go of was emotions. The only way for him to loosen up completely wasn't to be cold and ruthless, but instead show more kindness and compassion. Just as if he possessed the heart of a newborn baby, pure and innocent. ……
After he returned to the Qing Clan, he immediately headed to the backyard. It was only noon. The two elderly men were drinking tea and talking to each other in the pavilion. Other than practicing the Taichi Fist, Qing Luo basically spent his remaining time on cultivating his ethics. He hardly cultivated physically. Since he didn't really run into anything major throughout his life, his cultivation level stopped at Xiantian Realm.
When Lin Zhanhan and Qing Luo saw Qing Shui came back, they both felt relieved, "You are back! Did everything go on smoothly?"
"Yeah, it's just as Grandpa Lin said. The Diamond Elephant managed to deal with them all alone." Qing Shui smiled as he informed them about the good news.
"How are the two little brats?" Qing Luo asked in concern. About Luan Luan, the entire Qing Clan basically thought that she was Qing Shui's blood-related daughter. Besides, it was no longer of any importance whether she was blood-related or not. Most importantly, they cared for her a lot.
"Yeah, they're totally fine!" ……
Very quickly, the news about Hundred Clan War Barracks being eliminated by Qing Shui of the Heavenly Palace spread around the entire Green Cloud Continent. Not only did he cripple the entire Hundred Clan War Barracks alone, he even managed to eliminate Zhan Clan. At the same time, everyone was also aware that Zhan Clan had Martial Saint grade warriors. Despite that, Qing Shui still managed to eliminate them.
Then, for quite a while, the entire continent was abuzz with these kinds of news. Word of, Qing Shui's Demonic Beasts, that Qing Shui was a Martial Saint warrior, and also whether there were anymore Martial Saint warriors hiding within the Green Cloud Continent.
The World of the Nine Continents put a lot of emphasis on one's capability to fight. Hence, people would often be more concerned of who survived, who died, and what kind of strength the warriors possessed. They wouldn't really care much about who was right and who was wrong. This time however, the Hundred Clan War Barracks was in the wrong. Not only did they deserve this kind of fate, they were still accused by thousands of people even after their demise.
The winner always had the freedom of speech. They could say whatever they want without anyone's interruption. Besides, not only was everything regarding the incident this time the truth, it was even from Four Seas Country. Even the people who survived too didn't dare to talk nonsense.
For a moment, all of the well-known sects and clans in Green Cloud Continent finally acknowledged the Heavenly Palace to be the strongest sect in Green Cloud Continent. At the the same time, Qing Clan was also considered to have squeezed into one of the top clans in Green Cloud Continents.
All because Qing Shui was from Qing Clan. It's just as one said "once a man gets a government position, all his cronies will get in too." ……
At night, Qing Shui quietly left after Canghai Mingyue fell asleep. It's just that every time he left, Canghai Mingyue would open her eyes and smile watching him leaving carefully.
Inside the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal.
He has already wasted two days time to go into the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal. Sacrificing two days time for the two little brats were nothing to him. But if there wasn't anything important, Qing Shui would feel really reluctant to let even one day slip.
After Qing Shui entered the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal, he cultivated a cycle of Ancient Strengthening Technique. His injuries were also almost recovered. He picked up the Demonic Beast's tendon which looked a lot like a Demon Binding Rope.
Refine it and nourish it!
Qing Shui didn't add in any other things because this was undoubtedly a strong Demonic Beast's tendon. In fact, he even felt that it was too good for the Demonic Beast's ingredients which he had at the moment.
That was why Qing Shui eventually made up his mind to refine this Beast's tendon with his own qi. He wanted to see if it really was the Demon Binding Rope.
He constantly channelled in his Nature Energy and Qi of the Ancient Strengthening Technique only to find that it was quickly blocked. However, with his Nature Energy around, it was still able to move forward but at a significantly reduced speed. Despite that, he could still clearly feel it gradually moving forward.
Diamond Qi!
Qing Shui strengthened his Qi to get it to flow a bit faster. As he looked at the length of this Beast's tendon, he knew that it wasn't something which would be done within a day. But with the heaven defying Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal, it could be said that the most precious time itself had become a very normal thing.
The length of this Beast's tendon was about twenty meters. It was as thick as a baby's arm. As he examined it, he felt that it was average in size. After about half a day, he managed to get access to about two metres of it. Qing Shui was quite satisfied with it.
Qing Shui stopped and practiced his Back Connecting Fist and the Thousand Hammer Technique which was almost at the state of One with Heaven. After that, he strolled around the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal.
There were already almost ten thousand Rainbow Trout Fish even though ninety nine percent of them was still immature. Despite that, they were already the size which was edible. The Crystal Lions were also swimming happily inside the pond. The little animals looked really delicate and valiant. Even the Rainbow Trout Fish didn't dare to pick on them.
During this time, Qing Shui collected yet another two crystals meaning he possessed four of it in total. It could be said that they were already worth a fortune. However, since there were yet to be any suitable medicinal pills to match it, he could only keep these expensive stuffs for now.
"Huh? The Triple-Eyed Grass Green Frog has already laid eggs?" Qing Shui saw two Triple-eyed Grass Green Frogs protecting an egg. He felt really agitated because the egg which it laid had a really similar effect to the crystal which the Crystal Lions laid. It's just that it wasn't as strong as the crystal. However, it had the upper hand in terms of quantity.
He looked around and noticed the fiery seed which he got from the Wolf King Hall in Flowerfruit Mountain. He was shocked to find out that the fiery grass which was originally the size of a finger had grown from the original one inch to the current two inches after a long time. It looked even more fiery red and was exuding an extremely hot aura. There was a layer of weak, red light surrounding it. It looked even more like a layer of flame.
"Just what is this?" At present, Qing Shui could tell that it was a kind of grass. But it was totally different from all the plants Qing Shui previously came across. Furthermore, the powerful spiritual fluctuation that was emitting out of it also made him aware that it was something with considerable value.
"I have time to wait!" Qing Shui looked at the small grass and was filled with hope.
The 1000-year Gloomy Wood still looked the same except it now had even thicker branches and leaves. Qing Shui was really curious to know what this was.
Just like usual, everyday only one Peach of Immortality could be produced. But since the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal upgraded, the time needed for it would also be considerably shorter. The Flower of Life still looked the same as well. It would need a bit of time for it to blossom, but now it could help save thirty percent of the time for the medicinal herbs and plants to grow.
As Qing Shui looked at all of these, he felt really satisfied. It wouldn't really make sense if he gave these precious things to other people because it was impossible for the others to have the insane Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal.
He also collected quite a lot of Plum Blossoms. He had been leaving it be ever since he used all of it to replace the Snow Melted Wood. As for other things such as the Vermillion Fruits, Qing Shui brought all of them together. It was really hard for him to make anymore improvements since he had reached a state of saturation. The only thing he could do was to wait for himself to break through to the Sixth Heavenly Layer.
After that, Qing Shui walked towards the small pond far away. That place was completely filled with poisonous things such as the Poisonous Mamba, Scarlet Turtle, Tricolor Toads and Poisonous Jellyfish.
There was a Bloody Lotus floating on the surface of the water and Heartbroken Grass growing at the corner of the pond.
Qing Shui glanced towards the Blackjade Poisonous Spiderweb in the distance. After that, he looked at the poisonous substances in the water. Since he had nothing to do, he decided to refine the Blackjade Poisonous Spiderweb with poison.
There were a lot of ways to refine poisonous substances recorded inside the . The best method was to refine the entire toxic substance in order to extract the essence within it. This could help raise the toxicity to the extreme. It's just that due to the rarity of some of the poisonous objects, people would normally choose to not use a method which was like killing chickens to get their eggs.
For poisonous animals like scorpions and wasps, their poisons were all collected from their tails. Whereas for toads and turtles, it was collected from their mouth. The method recorded in the was really unique. Normally, it would take about a month for them to recover the poison which was collected from them.
The Scarlet Turtle, Poisonous Mamba and Tricolor Toads were more commonly encountered in the Stellar Horse Lake. There were very few of these poisonous creatures in other places. Luckily, Qing Shui managed to catch quite a lot of them. For now, they had even reproduced quite a lot in the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal.
These things were still a bit inferior to the poisonous substances with more than five colors. Adding on that there was quite a huge amount of it now, Qing Shui decided to use the most straightforward way to extract the poisons.
Refine!
The toxicity of the substances also put a lot of emphasis on its allocation. Otherwise, a situation of fighting fire with fire would occur and the toxicity would be cancelled out. Hence, matching poisons was also something which needed to be given particular attention to. If it properly succeeded, the toxicity would increase significantly.
Eventually, Qing Shui settled down with the Bloody Lotus, Scarlet Turtle, Poisonous Jellyfish. He took out twenty of each except for Bloody Lotus. He got fifty of them. He used the Primordial Refining Furnace for the refining process. By relying on a Divine Artifact, the toxicity should also be able to be strengthened further.
He refined the outer shell, the muscles, and the bones while keeping the poisonous sack. After that, he fused them.
Since it was his first time refining it, Qing Shui followed each steps stated in the carefully. After all, the things he used were all in top quality. Primal Chaotic Flame, Primal Chaotic Primordial Refining Furnace. Qing Shui also only noticed later on when he was at the Stellar Horse Lake that it was quite easy for him to refine materials. Even though he didn't believe in things like recognizing owners from dropping blood. However, ever since he dropped his blood in the Primordial Refining Furnace, he felt that the link established between him and it became a lot stronger.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed. Qing Shui slowly opened up both of his eyes only to be pleasantly surprised. To think that his first time would go on so smoothly! He hurriedly looked towards the Primal Chaotic Primordial Refining Furnace.
There was a dark black liquid at the bottom of the furnace which was around one metre wide. It looked slightly denser than water and didn't smell as bad as he thought it would. However, it would give people goosebumps.
On the surface of the black liquid, there was a layer of substance which looked like a kind of vapor.
He ate some food and rested for a while. After he recovered his qi of the Ancient Strengthening Technique, he proceeded to refine the Beast's tendon. This was because once the venom was successfully refined, it would need to be cooled down in order to make the toxicity more stable.
Qing Shui took out the Blackjade Poisonous Spiderweb after a day in the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal and walked to the side of the Primordial Refining Furnace.
Chi-chi……
A noise which sounded like fire getting splashed by water rang. Qing Shui saw the Blackjade Poisonous Spiderweb collecting the poisonous fluid in the Primordial Refining Furnace like a greedy child.
The spiderweb of the Blackjade Poisonous Spiderweb slowly turned even darker and glossy while the poisonous fluid became less and less. Qing Shui extended his hand and pressed against the Primordial Refining Furnace. After that, he slowly channelled in his Nature Energy and Qi of the Ancient Strengthening Technique.
Chi-chi…..
The Blackjade Poisonous Spiderweb which had initially slowed down its absorption speed once again gave out a kind of noise. At the same time, the poisonous fluid was also becoming more and more little.
Qing Shui only stopped when there wasn't any poisonous fluid left in the Primordial Refining Furnace. He took up the Blackjade Poisonous Spiderweb which looked even darker and brighter than before and couldn't wait to try it out against a Demonic Beast.
Refine!
As Qing Shui toughened the Blackjade Poisonous Spiderweb with his Qi of the Ancient Strengthening Technique, it started giving out bright light. Furthermore, a faint coldness also started spreading out into the surrounding.
After getting everything done, Qing Shui couldn't find any Demonic Beasts to try the Blackjade Poisonous Spiderweb on. Hence, he could only wait until next time to try it out. These kind of poisonous substances had to be nourished with poison. Normally, it was done once a year. Or else, it would be a waste of poison if they failed to absorb it.
The huge improvement in strength, the powerful Diamond Gigantic Elephant along with Qing Shui's Tiger Form and Thousand Buddha Palm Imprint which have reached a frightening level. This was the first time in life when Qing Shui felt really secured. He slowly felt more and more relaxed.
Qing Shui spent most of his remaining time in the realm toughening the Beast's tendon . The more he progressed, the more he felt its speed getting slower and slower. What made Qing Shui felt relieved was that despite being slow, it was still advancing forward. At present, there were only three meters left.
"Fuck, it still came……"
When there were only two meters remaining, Qing Shui surged it forward three times in a row only to fail again and again.
As he once again attempted to surge forward a few times, he spotted the Violet Gold Divine Shield by accident. He thought to himself: "How could I have forgotten about it!"
Shield Attack!
Pu!
A loud and clear explosive sound rang out. After that, Qing Shui had a feeling which resembled the great rivers flowing into the sea with his Divine Force. The last meter was exactly like a bottomless pit.
Luckily, Qing Shui's Qi of the Ancient Strengthening Technique was strong and solid. He adjusted its speed to an optimum rate to make sure that the qi which was revolving on its own could replenish constantly because he felt that it would be inappropriate to give up halfway.
Qianggg!
Suddenly, the "Beast's tendon" gave out a bright and dazzling golden light. It was accompanied by a dragon roaring noise. At the same time when Qing Shui felt astonished, he spotted the Jade Emperor Bees returning to their nest on the Hundred Blossom Tree.
Ming!
Roar!
At the same time, both the Fire Bird and Diamond Gigantic Elephant also gave out a loud and clear scream as they seemingly tried to withstand the formidable pressure.

AST 581 – Demon Binding Ropes? A friend surpassing the level of a soul mate
Earlier, the Diamond Gigantic Elephant used a Mighty Elephant Stomp to turn these villas into ruins. Now, within the villas there were still some wretched howls coming out, but no one came out.
Qing Shui just stood there and the Diamond Gigantic Elephant returned to his side. Yiye Jiange could only stare blankly at the Diamond Gigantic Elephant, even now she still felt that she was dreaming.
The 30 odd severely injured old men who escaped earlier stood up and walking unsteadily over to Qing Shui!
"Sire, the Zhan Clan relied on their great strength and forced a hundred clans of the Four Seas Country to merge into the Hundred Clan War Barracks. We had no other choice, they used our families as hostages."
"Bring us to the Zhan Clan!"
Qing Shui said expressionlessly.
At a glance, everything within sight had already turned into ruins. However, the villa was big. Although the houses had collapsed, the number of people injured or dead were not many.
Many people were gathered together. A very small portion of people stood on the other side, their faces were filled with pride. Qing Shui felt that they should be the people from the Zhan Clan, furthermore, they were not aware that their backer had already died.
When that group of people saw Qing Shui and his group appear, they seemed to have realized something was awry. Their originally prideful faces now seemed to express shock.
However, the eyes of the rest brightened and stared intently at this strong and handsome youth. A tall and sturdy man suddenly roared out: "Zhan pig, it is time to repay the debt of violating my wife!"
"And my wife as well!"
"My younger sister was forced to death by him!"
……
The scene that occurred in an instant caused Qing Shui to stupefied. The people of the Zhan Clan were quickly beaten to death by the angry mob……
"Sire, as you see, they are innocent. We old men are not afraid to die., If it were not for them, then so what if we were killed by the Zhan Clan." the earlier old man sighed.
Everyone from the Zhan Clan perished. However, Qing Shui did not kill any of the others. After he asked about where the territory of the Zhan Clan was, Qing Shui went and stopped at a big rock garden.
This was originally a big rock garden in the backyard of the Zhan Clan, It was a pity that after the pavilions were destroyed, this rock garden obviously became damaged.
Although the main gates were sturdy, Qing Shui felt that the strength of 200 countries would be sufficient to force it open. This job naturally fell to the Diamond Gigantic Elephant.
"Boom!"
The huge gate made of an unknown metal had a hole knocked into it; the unusual stone of the rock garden also crumbled.
More than half of the rock garden collapsed!
A set of perfectly straight stone steps extended downwards, Setting up a treasury like this was common in the World of the Nine Continents. Just like the designs of the pavilions, where the first thing you see when you enter was the living room. These were the habits that were accumulated over time.
As the body of the Diamond Gigantic Elephant was too big, it could only wait outside. As for the two young girls and Yiye Jiange, Qing Shui got them to stay outside!
"It is too dangerous to go alone……"
After Yiye Jiange said that, she lowered her head. Earlier, she had thought that they would not be able to escape. Thus she revealed the feelings in her heart. Now when she thought about it, she felt flustered. Now that they were out of trouble, she suddenly felt embarrassed.
"Weng Weng……"
"With them leading the way, you can relax. I will not risk my life because of greed, I am very afraid of death." Qing Shui smiled after saying that, then proceeded to follow the Jade Emperor Bees down.
He is afraid of death, yet in order to allow the two young girls to live, he could risk his own life without hesitating……
"How poor!"
Qing Shui found out in dismay that the things here were all second rate. In other words, they were not able to catch Qing Shui's attention. When he looked through the Demonic Beast Skins, the best was only a low-grade Martial King leveled Demonic Beast skin, however, Qing Shui could still keep them to use for drawing. As for weapons and armors, Qing Shui just took a quick look.
Medicinal herbs above a thousand years in age were taken away but there weren't too many of those. However, at least he could use those. As he looked through, he kept the stuff he wanted in the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal. He kept grumbling about despite the Zhan Clan have Martial Saints, they were this poor.
Even when he was about to arrive at the deepest areas, Qing Shui did not discover any decent items!
"En!"
Just when Qing Shui was about to give up, Qing Shui suddenly discovered a faint mysterious Spiritual energy using his Spiritual Sense. His heart beat faster, he had encountered this feeling once before. That was when he sensed the Soulshake bell in Southern City.
Finally, Qing Shui locked his gaze on a grayish rope. This was the source of the Spiritual energy fluctuations.
Dust completely covered that rope. Qing Shui used his hands to sweep away most of the dust, exposing its original color.
Light yellow color!
When Qing Shui took a look, his heart was stirred!
Demon Binding Ropes!
It was actually the Demon Binding Ropes. Qing Shui looked at that item that looked exactly the same as the one in his memories. It was giving off a mysterious Spiritual energy, that light yellow colored rope seemed to be robust and powerful.
"It can't be that it only looks like it!" Qing Shui stretched his hands out to pick up the rope that looked like the Demon Binding Ropes. Upon contact with it, Qing Shui knew that this rope was made from the tendons of Demonic Beasts……
Till now, the Demonic beast tendons that he touched so far were not as strong as this tendon Even the tendon of the Three-Headed Dark Cloud Armored Beast could not compare to it.
This strip of tendon had been refined by a blacksmith. Qing Shui thought about the abilities of the Soulshake bell, but he did not know why did the Zhan Clan leave the rope here and not use it. Since they placed it here, they probably did not know the value of it. However, he thought about how the things here were not good. Within the treasury of the Zhan Clan, only this item was pretty good; maybe they could not figure out how to use it……
He circulated the Qi of the Ancient Strengthening Technique and slowly infused it into the Demon Binding Ropes. Soon, Qing Shui could feel a problem; the insides did not seemed to be connected. He just threw it into the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal, preparing to go back and use the Ancient Strengthening Technique restore it. If he could restore it, it would be much stronger.
Qing Shui was looking forward to using the Demon Binding Ropes. After being bound by this thing, the target would not be able to move and could only get slaughtered by others. However, he did not know how long would it last for.
Shaking his head, Qing Shui made his way out. If that was indeed the Demon Binding Ropes, then this time there was a big harvest. This treasury that was worse than the storehouse of a bandit……
"Father, is there anything good?" Luan Luan blinked her big eyes and asked in curiosity.
"They are really poor, I only took a few beast skins and herbs, the rest of the items are trash." Qing Shui stretched his hands out to rub Luan Luan's head.
"Let's go home, or else grandfather and the others will keep thinking about us." Qing Shui summoned the Fire Bird!
"Father, let me ride on that golden elephant!" Luan Luan asked hopefully as she hugged Qing Shui's neck.
Qing Shui directly summoned the Diamond Gigantic Elephant in midair. Luan Luan pulled Yuchang on to it, then turn her head to look at Qing Shui and blinked her large eyes. "Have a good talk with mother, we won't disturb you."
Qing Shui watched as the two young girls laughed and climbed onto the back of the Diamond Gigantic Elephant. He shook his head helplessly. Qing Shui did not know if she could remember the moment when they met. Back then, she was only three years old, the age where memories were still hazy. It was not clear how much she could remember now, the young lass was already thirteen years old.
Qing Shui turned his head to look at Yiye Jiange, who was looking into the distance. Her powdered neck seemed to be slightly flushed red from the side. Qing Shui did not think too much of it. From the very start, he had pretended to be husband and wife with this woman he used to call master so that Luan Luan would have both a father and mother.
Only, Qing Shui kept feeling that it was unfair to Yiye Jiange. This was because aside from Yiye Jiange, Qing Shui still had other women, but she was alone.
"Even so she thinks that it is unfair for me!" Qing Shui really did not know how to repay her.
"I hope that you would be blissful and happy, only, I do not know how to make that happen." Qing Shui gently said, looking at Yiye Jiange's side.
Although he had stood beside her plenty of times, he never felt close to her. In front of her, Qing Shui always felt like a child that does not grow old.
She was an otherworldly woman who did not speak much; Qing Shui never knew what she was thinking about or what she wanted. Today was the first time he saw her cry. From that moment Qing Shui knew that she actually had feelings for him, that she could cry and have a soft side. At that moment Qing Shui felt like his heart was being pricked, just like how he felt when he saw his mother being hurt.
Up until now, Qing Shui knew that he had treated Yiye Jiange as one of his closest family.
"I am now very blessed and happy!" Yiye Jiange glanced back at Qing Shui and said.
"I will definitely bring you to the Lion King’s Ridge. Aside from this, can you tell me if you have any other wishes or dreams." Qing Shui did not know how could he give her happiness.
"I hope for Luan Luan to be healthy and to grow up happily!" Yiye Jiange said after she thought for a while.
"This is a definite thing, it does not count, say another one." Qing Shui answered with a smile.
"I hope for your family to be happy and safe!"
"Thank you, but this does not count either. Ask for something for yourself, like items you desire, anything you want to do, or any dreams?" Qing Shui looked at Yiye Jiange's eyes and said
"I do not know what I would want, nor do I have anything I want to do. As for dreams, that would be what I said earlier. In addition to that, I also hope to see that one day, you don't have to toil so hard anymore."
Qing Shui felt moved in his heart. This woman was his master and his friend, a friend that understood him well. It was a pity that he did not understand her or what she wanted.
She had no desires nor demands. Although it was not exactly like that, but it was very close. Maybe now, Luan Luan was her only weak spot. Qing Shui always wanted to ask her a question, but he did not dare to.
"Do you want to say something? Say it, why are you afraid." Yiye Jiange smiled gently when she saw Qing Shui wanting to say something but then hesitating.
That gentle smile caused Qing Shui to relaxed. After thinking for a little then he slowly said, "Master, do you plan to be alone like this forever? Luan Luan should have a bright future, but what about master?
"Why are you calling me master? You really want to see me marry someone?" The gaze that Yiye Jiange used to look at Qing Shui seemed to fluctuate.

AST 582 – Nourishing the Blackjade Poisonous Spiderweb with poison! It really is the Demon Binding Ropes
"Why are you calling me master again? Do you really wish for me to get married so badly?" There was an indescribable emotion in Yiye Jiange's eyes as she was looked at Qing Shui.
"No no, I don't want you to get married… Not that I want you…" This was the first time Qing Shui got stuck with his words. He felt really anxious, to the point he started sweating.
Yiye Jiange smiled when she saw Qing Shui's reaction "I'm fine, you don't have to feel so nervous. Just tell me whatever is on your mind. I know that you are doing this for my own good."
"I feel that master, deep down, you are a really lonely person. And I think that there are a lot of things that master has been keeping to herself not knowing who to talk to as well. That's why I believe that master will feel a lot happier if you are in love with a person." Qing Shui felt really exhausting when he said all of these, so much so that even the way he structured his sentence sounded really awkward. Despite that, he still managed to confess his feelings.
"I don't have anyone I like at the moment……" Yiye Jiange looked at Qing Shui. Though there was a trace of joy across her face, her expression was somewhat indescribable.
"Master, until you find yourself a man you like, why don't you let me take care of you? You don't have to treat me like a friend. You can treat me like your brother, just like I'm a part of your family. I can give you everything that I have." Qing Shui looked at Yiye Jiange and said with a serious expression. Within his clear and tranquil eyes lay a kind of indescribable persistence.
Yiye Jiange smiled. Her smile looked really perfect as she extended her hand and rubbed Qing Shui's head: "Alright! It's a deal!"
Qing Shui got infected by her smile and gave a simple and honest smile as well. At this moment, he felt unusually relaxed as if he just let go of an extremely heavy load.
Qing Shui saw a glimmer of hope. As it turned out, the only thing left which he was unable to let go of was emotions. The only way for him to loosen up completely wasn't to be cold and ruthless, but instead show more kindness and compassion. Just as if he possessed the heart of a newborn baby, pure and innocent. ……
After he returned to the Qing Clan, he immediately headed to the backyard. It was only noon. The two elderly men were drinking tea and talking to each other in the pavilion. Other than practicing the Taichi Fist, Qing Luo basically spent his remaining time on cultivating his ethics. He hardly cultivated physically. Since he didn't really run into anything major throughout his life, his cultivation level stopped at Xiantian Realm.
When Lin Zhanhan and Qing Luo saw Qing Shui came back, they both felt relieved, "You are back! Did everything go on smoothly?"
"Yeah, it's just as Grandpa Lin said. The Diamond Elephant managed to deal with them all alone." Qing Shui smiled as he informed them about the good news.
"How are the two little brats?" Qing Luo asked in concern. About Luan Luan, the entire Qing Clan basically thought that she was Qing Shui's blood-related daughter. Besides, it was no longer of any importance whether she was blood-related or not. Most importantly, they cared for her a lot.
"Yeah, they're totally fine!" ……
Very quickly, the news about Hundred Clan War Barracks being eliminated by Qing Shui of the Heavenly Palace spread around the entire Green Cloud Continent. Not only did he cripple the entire Hundred Clan War Barracks alone, he even managed to eliminate Zhan Clan. At the same time, everyone was also aware that Zhan Clan had Martial Saint grade warriors. Despite that, Qing Shui still managed to eliminate them.
Then, for quite a while, the entire continent was abuzz with these kinds of news. Word of, Qing Shui's Demonic Beasts, that Qing Shui was a Martial Saint warrior, and also whether there were anymore Martial Saint warriors hiding within the Green Cloud Continent.
The World of the Nine Continents put a lot of emphasis on one's capability to fight. Hence, people would often be more concerned of who survived, who died, and what kind of strength the warriors possessed. They wouldn't really care much about who was right and who was wrong. This time however, the Hundred Clan War Barracks was in the wrong. Not only did they deserve this kind of fate, they were still accused by thousands of people even after their demise.
The winner always had the freedom of speech. They could say whatever they want without anyone's interruption. Besides, not only was everything regarding the incident this time the truth, it was even from Four Seas Country. Even the people who survived too didn't dare to talk nonsense.
For a moment, all of the well-known sects and clans in Green Cloud Continent finally acknowledged the Heavenly Palace to be the strongest sect in Green Cloud Continent. At the the same time, Qing Clan was also considered to have squeezed into one of the top clans in Green Cloud Continents.
All because Qing Shui was from Qing Clan. It's just as one said "once a man gets a government position, all his cronies will get in too." ……
At night, Qing Shui quietly left after Canghai Mingyue fell asleep. It's just that every time he left, Canghai Mingyue would open her eyes and smile watching him leaving carefully.
Inside the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal.
He has already wasted two days time to go into the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal. Sacrificing two days time for the two little brats were nothing to him. But if there wasn't anything important, Qing Shui would feel really reluctant to let even one day slip.
After Qing Shui entered the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal, he cultivated a cycle of Ancient Strengthening Technique. His injuries were also almost recovered. He picked up the Demonic Beast's tendon which looked a lot like a Demon Binding Rope.
Refine it and nourish it!
Qing Shui didn't add in any other things because this was undoubtedly a strong Demonic Beast's tendon. In fact, he even felt that it was too good for the Demonic Beast's ingredients which he had at the moment.
That was why Qing Shui eventually made up his mind to refine this Beast's tendon with his own qi. He wanted to see if it really was the Demon Binding Rope.
He constantly channelled in his Nature Energy and Qi of the Ancient Strengthening Technique only to find that it was quickly blocked. However, with his Nature Energy around, it was still able to move forward but at a significantly reduced speed. Despite that, he could still clearly feel it gradually moving forward.
Diamond Qi!
Qing Shui strengthened his Qi to get it to flow a bit faster. As he looked at the length of this Beast's tendon, he knew that it wasn't something which would be done within a day. But with the heaven defying Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal, it could be said that the most precious time itself had become a very normal thing.
The length of this Beast's tendon was about twenty meters. It was as thick as a baby's arm. As he examined it, he felt that it was average in size. After about half a day, he managed to get access to about two metres of it. Qing Shui was quite satisfied with it.
Qing Shui stopped and practiced his Back Connecting Fist and the Thousand Hammer Technique which was almost at the state of One with Heaven. After that, he strolled around the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal.
There were already almost ten thousand Rainbow Trout Fish even though ninety nine percent of them was still immature. Despite that, they were already the size which was edible. The Crystal Lions were also swimming happily inside the pond. The little animals looked really delicate and valiant. Even the Rainbow Trout Fish didn't dare to pick on them.
During this time, Qing Shui collected yet another two crystals meaning he possessed four of it in total. It could be said that they were already worth a fortune. However, since there were yet to be any suitable medicinal pills to match it, he could only keep these expensive stuffs for now.
"Huh? The Triple-Eyed Grass Green Frog has already laid eggs?" Qing Shui saw two Triple-eyed Grass Green Frogs protecting an egg. He felt really agitated because the egg which it laid had a really similar effect to the crystal which the Crystal Lions laid. It's just that it wasn't as strong as the crystal. However, it had the upper hand in terms of quantity.
He looked around and noticed the fiery seed which he got from the Wolf King Hall in Flowerfruit Mountain. He was shocked to find out that the fiery grass which was originally the size of a finger had grown from the original one inch to the current two inches after a long time. It looked even more fiery red and was exuding an extremely hot aura. There was a layer of weak, red light surrounding it. It looked even more like a layer of flame.
"Just what is this?" At present, Qing Shui could tell that it was a kind of grass. But it was totally different from all the plants Qing Shui previously came across. Furthermore, the powerful spiritual fluctuation that was emitting out of it also made him aware that it was something with considerable value.
"I have time to wait!" Qing Shui looked at the small grass and was filled with hope.
The 1000-year Gloomy Wood still looked the same except it now had even thicker branches and leaves. Qing Shui was really curious to know what this was.
Just like usual, everyday only one Peach of Immortality could be produced. But since the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal upgraded, the time needed for it would also be considerably shorter. The Flower of Life still looked the same as well. It would need a bit of time for it to blossom, but now it could help save thirty percent of the time for the medicinal herbs and plants to grow.
As Qing Shui looked at all of these, he felt really satisfied. It wouldn't really make sense if he gave these precious things to other people because it was impossible for the others to have the insane Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal.
He also collected quite a lot of Plum Blossoms. He had been leaving it be ever since he used all of it to replace the Snow Melted Wood. As for other things such as the Vermillion Fruits, Qing Shui brought all of them together. It was really hard for him to make anymore improvements since he had reached a state of saturation. The only thing he could do was to wait for himself to break through to the Sixth Heavenly Layer.
After that, Qing Shui walked towards the small pond far away. That place was completely filled with poisonous things such as the Poisonous Mamba, Scarlet Turtle, Tricolor Toads and Poisonous Jellyfish.
There was a Bloody Lotus floating on the surface of the water and Heartbroken Grass growing at the corner of the pond.
Qing Shui glanced towards the Blackjade Poisonous Spiderweb in the distance. After that, he looked at the poisonous substances in the water. Since he had nothing to do, he decided to refine the Blackjade Poisonous Spiderweb with poison.
There were a lot of ways to refine poisonous substances recorded inside the . The best method was to refine the entire toxic substance in order to extract the essence within it. This could help raise the toxicity to the extreme. It's just that due to the rarity of some of the poisonous objects, people would normally choose to not use a method which was like killing chickens to get their eggs.
For poisonous animals like scorpions and wasps, their poisons were all collected from their tails. Whereas for toads and turtles, it was collected from their mouth. The method recorded in the was really unique. Normally, it would take about a month for them to recover the poison which was collected from them.
The Scarlet Turtle, Poisonous Mamba and Tricolor Toads were more commonly encountered in the Stellar Horse Lake. There were very few of these poisonous creatures in other places. Luckily, Qing Shui managed to catch quite a lot of them. For now, they had even reproduced quite a lot in the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal.
These things were still a bit inferior to the poisonous substances with more than five colors. Adding on that there was quite a huge amount of it now, Qing Shui decided to use the most straightforward way to extract the poisons.
Refine!
The toxicity of the substances also put a lot of emphasis on its allocation. Otherwise, a situation of fighting fire with fire would occur and the toxicity would be cancelled out. Hence, matching poisons was also something which needed to be given particular attention to. If it properly succeeded, the toxicity would increase significantly.
Eventually, Qing Shui settled down with the Bloody Lotus, Scarlet Turtle, Poisonous Jellyfish. He took out twenty of each except for Bloody Lotus. He got fifty of them. He used the Primordial Refining Furnace for the refining process. By relying on a Divine Artifact, the toxicity should also be able to be strengthened further.
He refined the outer shell, the muscles, and the bones while keeping the poisonous sack. After that, he fused them.
Since it was his first time refining it, Qing Shui followed each steps stated in the carefully. After all, the things he used were all in top quality. Primal Chaotic Flame, Primal Chaotic Primordial Refining Furnace. Qing Shui also only noticed later on when he was at the Stellar Horse Lake that it was quite easy for him to refine materials. Even though he didn't believe in things like recognizing owners from dropping blood. However, ever since he dropped his blood in the Primordial Refining Furnace, he felt that the link established between him and it became a lot stronger.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed. Qing Shui slowly opened up both of his eyes only to be pleasantly surprised. To think that his first time would go on so smoothly! He hurriedly looked towards the Primal Chaotic Primordial Refining Furnace.
There was a dark black liquid at the bottom of the furnace which was around one metre wide. It looked slightly denser than water and didn't smell as bad as he thought it would. However, it would give people goosebumps.
On the surface of the black liquid, there was a layer of substance which looked like a kind of vapor.
He ate some food and rested for a while. After he recovered his qi of the Ancient Strengthening Technique, he proceeded to refine the Beast's tendon. This was because once the venom was successfully refined, it would need to be cooled down in order to make the toxicity more stable.
Qing Shui took out the Blackjade Poisonous Spiderweb after a day in the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal and walked to the side of the Primordial Refining Furnace.
Chi-chi……
A noise which sounded like fire getting splashed by water rang. Qing Shui saw the Blackjade Poisonous Spiderweb collecting the poisonous fluid in the Primordial Refining Furnace like a greedy child.
The spiderweb of the Blackjade Poisonous Spiderweb slowly turned even darker and glossy while the poisonous fluid became less and less. Qing Shui extended his hand and pressed against the Primordial Refining Furnace. After that, he slowly channelled in his Nature Energy and Qi of the Ancient Strengthening Technique.
Chi-chi…..
The Blackjade Poisonous Spiderweb which had initially slowed down its absorption speed once again gave out a kind of noise. At the same time, the poisonous fluid was also becoming more and more little.
Qing Shui only stopped when there wasn't any poisonous fluid left in the Primordial Refining Furnace. He took up the Blackjade Poisonous Spiderweb which looked even darker and brighter than before and couldn't wait to try it out against a Demonic Beast.
Refine!
As Qing Shui toughened the Blackjade Poisonous Spiderweb with his Qi of the Ancient Strengthening Technique, it started giving out bright light. Furthermore, a faint coldness also started spreading out into the surrounding.
After getting everything done, Qing Shui couldn't find any Demonic Beasts to try the Blackjade Poisonous Spiderweb on. Hence, he could only wait until next time to try it out. These kind of poisonous substances had to be nourished with poison. Normally, it was done once a year. Or else, it would be a waste of poison if they failed to absorb it.
The huge improvement in strength, the powerful Diamond Gigantic Elephant along with Qing Shui's Tiger Form and Thousand Buddha Palm Imprint which have reached a frightening level. This was the first time in life when Qing Shui felt really secured. He slowly felt more and more relaxed.
Qing Shui spent most of his remaining time in the realm toughening the Beast's tendon . The more he progressed, the more he felt its speed getting slower and slower. What made Qing Shui felt relieved was that despite being slow, it was still advancing forward. At present, there were only three meters left.
"Fuck, it still came……"
When there were only two meters remaining, Qing Shui surged it forward three times in a row only to fail again and again.
As he once again attempted to surge forward a few times, he spotted the Violet Gold Divine Shield by accident. He thought to himself: "How could I have forgotten about it!"
Shield Attack!
Pu!
A loud and clear explosive sound rang out. After that, Qing Shui had a feeling which resembled the great rivers flowing into the sea with his Divine Force. The last meter was exactly like a bottomless pit.
Luckily, Qing Shui's Qi of the Ancient Strengthening Technique was strong and solid. He adjusted its speed to an optimum rate to make sure that the qi which was revolving on its own could replenish constantly because he felt that it would be inappropriate to give up halfway.
Qianggg!
Suddenly, the "Beast's tendon" gave out a bright and dazzling golden light. It was accompanied by a dragon roaring noise. At the same time when Qing Shui felt astonished, he spotted the Jade Emperor Bees returning to their nest on the Hundred Blossom Tree.
Ming!
Roar!
At the same time, both the Fire Bird and Diamond Gigantic Elephant also gave out a loud and clear scream as they seemingly tried to withstand the formidable pressure.
