Understanding Crane Form, Small Success Stage for Might Crane
Qing Shui silently stared at the curtain of White Crane Spread Wings. He's been seeing her for half a day. He already felt that/it could bring a calming feeling when he first saw her back at Greencloud Furniture City.
Qing Shui almost felt as if he could understand the feeling, but it was a little slippery to the touch and he could not pull it out. Just like that, Qing Shui looked at the crane in the picture, trying to feel its posture with his heart.
Qing Shui saw that/it stork inside the picture had stretched out its body to a relaxed state. He subconsciously displayed the Crane Form he had trained. Qi Shui’s Qi Ancient Strengthening Technique continued to circulate and flow gradually by itself. He didn't do this intentionally.
Qing Shui applied that Qi on Crane’s Might, trying to be as relaxed as he could in his mind and body. Like a crane in the picture, he allowed the Qi of the Ancient Strengthening Technique to flow smoothly in his body.
Qing Shui realized that/it was this ordinary method of allowing certain areas that seemed a little rough to now feel smooth, without any blockages at all.
Qing Shui broke into a happy smile, slowly circulating Might Crane repeatedly by following Crane Steps. This time, Qing Shui felt his body turn brighter. Even if it's just a little, it tastes really good.
He casually swung his arm with a very small movement that was almost imperceptible. His feet nimbly performed a complicated movement.
He gradually increased the Qi circulation strength of the Ancient Strengthening Technique and also the circulation speed of the Might Crane. However, Qing Shui did his best to keep his mind relaxed.
Just like that, Qing Shui engrossed himself as he circulated Crane’s Might and displayed Crane Steps. He did not move out of a one meter radius, but gave off a feeling as if he was rapidly advancing forward.
Time passed unconsciously. Qing Shui suddenly felt a light coming at him and then a powerful force appeared within him. He did not suddenly get a huge increase in his strength. His speed also increased slightly. After all, for Qing Shui, a speed of 10% was already quite significant.
He had reached a small stage of success for Form Crane. Qing Shui knew that/that he had entered that state once he felt his body was lighter. At the same time, he also felt that/that the core of the Crane Form was the Might Crane. The Crane’s Might emphasizes on the massacre and one cannot be too impatient or anxious. In the beginning, only a small amount of Qi had to be used. Those without a high level of understanding and resilience would never be able to master the Crane Form.
When and before the Crane Form will reach a small stage of success, only a small amount of power is needed to activate the Crane’s Might. The more anxious was, the stronger the obstacle. It was the same as how Qing Shui was awkward when he practiced Crane Form before.
If he did not see the cranes in his neighborhood in the curtains of the White Spread Crane, Qing Shui would need to take a long detour of a year or so. He had reached the 4th heavenly layer of the Ancient Strengthening Technique and Qi started circulating automatically which was very helpful.
The uniqueness of the Crane Form was in its subtile form and it could never be displayed at full strength. This does not mean that/it will be slower. All storks feel very relaxed when flying, but they can move at a very fast speed and have high endurance. This is the benefit of the Crane Form.
Qing Shui reached the stage of great perfection for the Tiger Shape thanks to his understanding of the king aura from the painting of the Descending Tiger. He managed to reach a small stage of success for the Crane Form after obtaining the curtain of White Crane Spread Wings. He has been in traffic for some time. While he devoted a lot of hard work and effort to understanding the Crane Form, there is no denying that/it was the final blow to success derived from this image.
Having achieved success twice thanks to these vivid paintings, it was just as Canghai had said. The paintings allowed one to understand many things. Qing Shui felt that/that he might have to seek a breakthrough with expensive paintings for the training of the Nine Beasts Mimicry Technique in the future.
Qing Shui always thought that/it time passed very quickly in the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal but he was very satisfied. He was satisfied to have more than ten times the training time than anyone else.
After circulating the Qi of the Ancient Strengt The silent technique once again, he reached the 76th cycle as he had expected. This achievement made Qing Shui very happy. He was not so sure how the level of the Ancient Strengthening Technique compared to the level of cultivation in the world of the nine continents.
Therefore, when he was at the peak of the 3rd level of the Ancient Strengthening Technique, he could unexpectedly kill low-level Xiantian cultivators. When Qing Shui broke through to the 4th heavenly layer of the Ancient Strengthening Technique, his abilities were at least comparable to those of a 4th grade Xiantian cultivator. He could scrape through close calls and win against the one who trained the Nine Waves Great Golden Buddha.
Now, he was even able to break through to reach the 76th cycle of the 49 cycles back then. Qing Shui had gained a considerable increase in strength when he reached the 50th, 60th, and 70th cycles respectively. It was more than when he broke through to another cycle.
Qing Shui still did not know how strong he was, but he knew that/that he would not be able to win Canghai Mingyue. After all, it was difficult to reach the Xiantian pinnacle of the 10th grade. Of course, the benefits received by someone who had reached Xiantian pinnacle were also immense. Even a 3rd class Xiantian cultivator would not be able to win against someone at Xiantian pinnacle. This is the biggest gap between the same values. One could rely on powerful techniques to challenge someone of higher value. However, among those in the same class, it was almost impossible for people who were not at the peak of their cultivation state to win against existing people.
For a warrior to reach the pinnacle of 10th grade, it was like breaking through the accumulated power from 1st to 10th grade. This was also why it was so difficult for a Martial Commander to achieve a breakthrough and become a Xiantian, for a Xiantian to break through and become a Martial King, and why there were no Martial Saints in the vast land of the Greencloud Continent for the past thousand years.
She thought of how Canghai Mingyue had asked her to act as her husband to deal with the strong 8th grade Xiantian cultivator who was chasing after her. Qing Shui felt that/it was while he might not be able to defeat someone who was at the peak of Xiantian, he should be able to deal with someone who is in the 8th grade with his abilities at the 4th heavenly layer of the Ancient Strengthening Technique.
If he reached the peak of the 4th layer of the Ancient Strengthening Technique, would he be able to challenge someone from the next class like how he did it when he was at the peak of the 3rd level of the Ancient Strengthening Technique? In other words, would he be able to scrape victory against someone who was a novice Martial King if he reached the peak of the 4th layer of the Ancient Strengthening Technique?
While letting his mind run wild, he finished his daily practice and slowly took a look at the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal. This place was only his and he walked to the edge of the pool which now looked extremely large.
The growth rate of fish and black turtles has slowed considerably. Each of them was even faster and harder to catch than before. Qing Shui knew that/it was because of the fire bird who always took his food from here. Those who are slower will lose their lives. Animals had a strong sense of danger, and those who grew up in the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal were even smarter than those in the outside world.
’’ It's good too. Fire birds will eat, and fish and black turtles will not grow too much because it will be a disaster. ” Qing Shui thought about it with pleasure. He felt happy again when he saw the 1000-Year-Old Gold and Clam Medicinal Turtle. These two were treasures that every alchemist dream would dream of. They were able to become their own alchemy materials or even replace other ingredients.
Qing Shui had gathered quite a number of Drunk Fragrant Fruits, Perilla, and Thyme by the side of the pond. While he left some of them at Canghai's place, there were still many more that could last a long time.
Strength-boosting Fruits, Strength-boosting Fruits, Body Endurance Ancing Fruits, and Physical Enhancing Fruits are all depleted. He had used the last two pieces of Endurance-Enhancing while concocting the Endurance Pellet.
Looking at the medicinal herbs that were all close to reaching 300 years old, Qing Shui was very satisfied with the powerful vitality they exuded. After all, the environment in the Ancient Strengthening Technique Realm was not something that could be compared to the outside world. Qing Shui even felt that/it was this place even more suitable for planting and cultivating. However, the main reason he had come here was because it could give him more than ten times the amount of training time than the outside world.
Before Qing Shui finished his morning training the next day, Canghai Mingyue and Huoyun Liu-Li arrived. But he did not stop. He simply glanced at them as a remark, while continuing to merge the Crane Form into the Bear Form. Those seemingly clumsy movements were actually very light and gave off a strange feeling. However, it seemed mysterious and its ferocious strength was filled with light movements.
’’ Yueyue, let's talk. I may need to risk my life in battle to the death for you today. ” Qing Shui grinned and said.
Canghai Mingyue was still unfamiliar with Qing Shui calling her by her nickname, but he had to call her all day. Moreover, he needed to build a happy front to work with him.
Canghai Mingyue hesitated for a moment before launching an attack against Qing Shui. His actions looked very similar to Canghai, but at the same time, it was also a little similar to Huoyun Liu-Li when he practiced his sword dance. His pair of fair arms that would make the snow pale in comparison quickly charged towards Qing Shui.
