Ancient Strengthening Techniques
A beautiful woman, Heavenly Palace Sword Art
However, Qing Shui forgot about it after thinking about it for a while. If not for his Nine Beasts Mimicry Technique, just looking at his sculpture, he would have known that/it was a type of Beast Form Fist martial art that could be cultivated.
The next ten monuments all have depictions of deer. The details were all sculpted so beautifully, Qing Shui carefully pondered the monument, immersing himself in enjoying the art. Time passed, and the sun had already set by the time she ‘woke’ herself.
He then rushed to the residence of Cang Wuya. Fei Wuji was there as well, as Qing Shui hurriedly offered his regards. Needless to say that/it was a dinner prepared by Qing Shui. The taste of the food he prepared could already be described as a heavenly miracle. Cang Wuya, Fei Wuji, and the two girls tasted their respective dishes and were very satisfied with them. Moreover, he also left behind many flavor enhancing ingredients for them.
Doing so indicated that/it would be a period of time where he would not come here, so he decided that/that he wanted to finish reading the inscription first.
Returning to his residence, as usual, Qing Shui spent four hours of training inside his spatial realm. While he was there, he studied the portrait of beauty once again, sighing as he noted how lively the portrait, especially the eyes and smiles, was so lively as if it was alive. After training, he channeled his efforts into alchemy, stabilizing the foundation of the Obscure Realm of the Basic Sword Technique, and his Taiji Fist also unexpectedly broke through the Clear Realm! Taiji covers both hard and soft, the ability to use the law of tenderness to resist the strength of others' ‘hard’, it will greatly help him in the future.
Training was always very difficult in the spatial realm, but it was time well spent. An ounce of hard work equated to an ounce of reward, causing Qing Shui to feel joy whenever he felt himself in power. Thinking about his mother, the Yan Clan, his godfather Yiye Jiange, how could this level of training be considered difficult?
After all, one cannot attain riches and glory without first undergoing trials and tribulations!
On the second day, when Qing Shui went to the public square for his morning practice every day, he realized there were already nearly ten thousand people there doing the same with him. Fortunately, this public square was quite large. Not only that, there were also elders from the Heavenly Palace doing the morning exercises.
The elder gestured and as they saw that, the disciples in the public square stopped what they were doing, speechless. This is truly a big sect. Qing Shui couldn't help but be impressed, at least Starmoon Hall was united and unity was strength.
’’ Everyone look here. Today I will explain our [Heavenly Palace Sword Art] concept. Take a good look, I will explain and demonstrate it once. ” Elder's voice is gentle but has penetrating power and resonates throughout the square.
After hearing the [Heavenly Palace Sword Art], Qing Shui knew that/it Heavenly Palace had many perfect techniques. After all, skills at the level of Heavenly Thunder Slash and Protection of divinity were not something that everyone would have the opportunity to learn.
’’ There are thirty-six moves to the [Heavenly Palace Sword Art], so don't take this for granted. This was a Xiantian Heaven level technique and was only a step further than the legendary tier. ’
Hearing the Elder's words made Qing Shui want to laugh. After all, the old man was right. The Xiantian Heaven level technique was only one step away from the legendary level.
Qing Shui immediately focused as the Elder explained and demonstrated the swordplay. After all, he only knew the sword movements from the basic sword technique and the third wave sword. Even it could not be considered to have mastered a complete sword technique before. The Heaven Xiantian level technique was already incomparably valuable. After all, legendary tier and Lord techniques were as rare as phoenix feathers and kirin horns.
’’ The [Heavenly Palace Sword Art] is also known as Falling Thunder Swordplay. The sword techniques in this set of swordplay would borrow the power of thunder to master it. It is said that/it when one practices this to the top, they will be able to summon lightning and thunder from the sky, electrocuting their opponents with the help of Heaven. The swo inirdplay set was created by our founder, but ever since he died, no one has managed to break through to the realm of summoning lightning and thunder. ’
Qing Shui studied the Elder's movements. His attitude was like thunderbolt, explaining the essence of the swordplay with every sword move he made.
Two hours later, the lecture ended after the Elder explained and showed ten moves. The disciples then began to practice what they had mastered. Since Qing Shui's Basic Sword Technique was in the Universe, it only took him half an effort to produce twice the results. Not only that, he had an indelible memory and with his insane comprehension speed, he had already understood the ten moves of the Falling Thunder Swordplay. It was just that his movements and attacks using the set of swordplay had not been sufficiently refined. Nonetheless, when he made a move, he looked very impressive.
”Hai!”
Suddenly, a clear voice sounded beside him. Turning her head, Qing Shui found a petite and beautiful woman smiling at him.
The woman looked extremely delicate, and had a pair of extremely large eyes with purity radiating out from them. Her cherry lips when matched together with her straight nose and her patterns were like works of art. She had a girl-next-door look, a stark difference from the heavenly beauty Yiye Jiange, the imperial beauty Canghai Mingyue, and the charm that/that person would die for Huoyun Liu-Li.
” Hi, is there something you need from me? ” Qing Shui smile.
” I was amazed when I saw how you practiced. Can you give me some pointers to guide me? ” The eyes of the girl who was pure like crystal stared intently into Qing Shui's eyes.
” Sure, my expertise may not be enough to guide, but I am very happy to exchange pointers with you, ” Qing Shui replied.
” Thank you! ” The little girl laughed, smiled perfectly, looked very adorable.
Qing Shui watched the girl train. From his movements, he could tell that/that his comprehension level was not bad, there were only a few movements of his that did not flow well, but there were no other major problems.
Qing Shui showed the series of movements at a slower pace, pointed out the mistakes and guided him to do better, using his insights from the Containing Realm, modifying some of the movements. When everything is done …
” Thank you, my name is Yan Ling’er, nice to meet you! ” The girl happily commented.
’’ My name is Qing Shui, ’’ Qing Shui smiled.
” Brother Qing Shui, thank you! ” After that, the girl left, her figure movement ran like a butterfly flying away.
Qing Shui rubbed his nose and laughed as he walked to the back of the mountain range. He kept thinking about the depiction of the stone he saw, wanting to feel the ‘spirituality of beast’ inside them. Arriving there, he continued from where he had left off and continued to try to understand them. Suddenly, as his eyes landed on the statue depicting a tiger, he had a huge shock! This was the first time he felt so shocked. Could it be that the tiger carving could help him further master his Heavenly Shape? He has a strong feeling that/that he will be able to gain more insight from this. Shaking his head, he also saw another monument with the snake image depicted on it.
” Shit, I better do this step by step, and not aim for the moon so quickly. ’’Qing Shui decided to focus first, trying to gain insight rather than flooding his mind with depictions of various animals. The first depiction of a tiger is a roaring tiger, as it faces the sky. Just from this carving, Qing Shui could feel an aura of command and inspired majesty from it, as if it was defying the heavens. Qing Shui looked at her until he felt the blood in her body boiling, and on top of her gushing blood, Qing Shui felt a kind of concept, the insights gained slowly, changing his aura, confidence, self-confidence, and even increase his strength. He then shifted his gaze and observed the tiger carvings climbing and descending the mountain, the tiger hunting its prey in the forest, causing Qing Shui to feel that/that concept contained in this engraving had a higher level compared to the tiger portraits he had obtained in the past. His aura must have undergone a change, even if only a little. Somehow, he was still able to develop even though his Tiger Form had already reached the Great Perfection stage.
Then what about the rest of his Forms that had still not reached the level of Great Perfection? He did not even know how long it would take to complete the insights of these thousands of engravings since he still did not know what kind of beast was depicted in the carvings on the monument that was in front of him!
