TPK 298 - Resting Tiger Stone Monument, ‘Inner conditions do not move like Mountains
” Wow, to think that/that someone can really ignore Gongsun Jianwu. It's something new! ’
” I really suspect if he is really impotent .. ’
…
’’ Elder Mo, are you sure that/that Qing Shui can win Jianwu? ’’ A handsome middle-aged man with white hair asked, emitting a huge aura that seemed more like a surging wave.
” Palace Lord, I'm sure I can still judge this clearly. Not only was he stronger than Jianwu, he probably would not lose to the Disciple Leader in the other room. ’’ Elder Mo smiled and said.
If Qing Shui was here, he would have noticed that/it Elder Mo was an old man who had infused them with the Heavenly Palace Sword Arts.
” Of course I believe that/that Elder Mo has good judgment. I am aware of the prowess of the Golden Eyes. ’
” Looks like you greatly admire this young man, ” handsome middle-aged man that Lord Palace Starmoon Hall said gently.
”Awdreams? Of course I'm full of admiration for him. But he was with Old Master Cang and Elder Fei, ’’ Elder Mo said it looked as if it was a pity.
” Oh, so that's the problem. It looks like our Starmoon Hall will rise again in the future. ” Palace Lord chuckled small, his voice was low but strong, so that that person could stand listening to him for a very long time.
” Then in next year's competition, should we have Jianwu or Qing Shui as the Disciple Leader? ’
’’ About this, mmm, I'll talk to the girl. I'll check if he'll take the initiative to retreat, otherwise, we'll let them do the sparring. ’’The Lord's palace gave him some thought before he said to Elder Mo.
’’ Mmm, the male disciple of Starmoon Hall was hopeless, causing us old people to lose face as well, ’’ Elder Mo said and chuckled.
’’I'm Lord Palace, but I'm no different. Even Starmoon Hall's people will scold me. ’
Qing Shui practiced in the square for a while before he left. It was past noon and many people went to eat their lunch. Qing Shui directly entered the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal from a place with no one around.
It was very easy to finish his meal at the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal, as everything was available. Most importantly, the things left in it would not be damaging even if left for a very long period of time.
Even if Qing Shui boiled a pot of fish and left it there for sixty to seventy days, it was still fresh and delicious, and it did not go bad at all.
Qing Shui knew that/it was this uniqueness to the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal. From the very beginning, Qing Shui could spend one pot of fish every half month. The fish pot will not be damaged within half a month, and after being heated, it will be no different from a freshly boiled fish pot.
There was once a time when Qing Shui had not managed to finish the meal before he was expelled from the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal. When he entered the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal once more, while it was only half a day in the actual world, it was already over seventy-five days in the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal. What surprised Qing Shui was that/it was a leftover fish and that/it was All Aspect Nourishment Soup not at all stale. Once heated, it tastes just as good as before.
Every since then, Qing Shui would eat fish, fish soup, turtles, and Whole Soup of All Aspects nonstop. This way, it would be more convenient when he finished his own meal.
After eating, Qing Shui went around in the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal. But suddenly and unexpectedly, he realized that/that a thousand-year-old Sparkling Wood had already grown.
Just like how about that nameless branch, Qing Shui had great hopes on what would grow out of it. But after all, in his memory, since this thousand-year-old Dark Wood was only a material for magical treasures, and he did not use it much for now, he decided to sow it, he decided to sow it, have little hope that/it will actually grow.
A soft green branch that was one inch long grew out from the tip of the thousand year-old Dark Wood. Yes, it was the most vibrant gre, so green that it was astonishing, and had emitted a dangerous aura.
The closer Qing Shui got, the more he could feel the cold aura he was giving off, or rather, the extremely stinging cold aura. That's how they say that/that the more beautiful stuff is, the poison is more dangerous. Such a cold aura was comparable, if not stronger than the chill of a thousand years.
If the cold aura of this insignificant sprout was even more threatening than a thousand year cold wave, what would happen in the future? Could it be that this thousand-year-old Dark Wood was also cut down from trees?
Qing Shui realized this was a troublesome matter. However, it was only possible for things like wooden blocks to be cut down from trees. What kind of object is there in this thousand-year-old Tree?
Does it produce fruit?
He could not help but think of the Heaven Shaking Hammer made of ten thousand year old coldsteel. Qing Shui remembered that/that when he first received it, he did not feel the cold aura it emitted. But considering that it was a weapon made from ten thousand year old coldsteel, it shouldn't be like that so he couldn't feel the cold aura at all from it.
Qing Shui lowered his head and looked at the young bud of the thousand-year-old Dark Wood, so green that it was emitting a weak light, and it was extremely beautiful!
Since there was no way to forge a magic treasure at the moment, let it grow back then. At the very least, in the future, there would be no shortage of a thousand year-old Dark Wood. It would be better if there was an unexpected gift. Qing Shui, happiness will always come to you all of a sudden.
He went to the screen with his magnificent paintings of mountains and rivers, took the Heaven Shaking Hammer, and once again looked at it with the Heavenly Vision Technique to see that/that it was still a twenty percent increase to his strength, three hundred points added to his strength.
Could it be because of the lack of blacksmith workmanship that had made this Heaven While Hammer, that/that he could not forge it with cold poison? When he grabbed it in his hand, he also did not feel the cold aura. It was only slightly cooler than ordinary metal.
When he waved it the other day, he could only feel its strength and aura. It has no cold poison nor is it so cold …
Just to prove that/that he was right, Qing Shui went to an empty place where he usually underwent his training when he was in the Violet Jade Immortal Realm, raising his aura, even more, and channeled his power into the Heaven Shaking Hammer. The black hammer itself was like a bundle of dark clouds, and when he channeled power into it, its surface emitted a faint black mist.
He waved and got hammered!
A thousand years of coldsteel seemed like a block of ice, but the Heaven Shaking Hammer in Qing Shui's hands was made of ten thousand years of black and bright coldsteel. He couldn't understand why that was so.
After spending some time thinking about it but not yet being able to understand, Qing Shui decided not to think about it anymore. He left the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal and headed towards the stone monument that was behind the mountain. It had been a few days since he had come last time.
Tomorrow, he still had to study the Heavenly Thunder Thunder from Cang Wuya and think about it made him very excited. Everyone worshipped violence, and the martial techniques in Heaven Palace, which Qing Shui was looking forward to was the Heavenly Thunder Slash that would increase attacks by thirty percent.
There was not much he could do in the afternoon, which was why he planned to look at the stone monument. He was afraid that if any damage came to them, he would feel too depressed.
The area where the stone monument was still filled with people walking. It won't change just because someone has come, or hasn't left. However, the only difference is that/that if any beauty were to appear before a particular stone monument, there would be more people standing in front of that stone monument, especially men.
Qing Shui continued to look at the Tiger Form that he did not have a warehouse going through. He searched for the stone monument he had to see to find that/it had not a single person in front of him.
When Qing Shui saw the picture on it, he understood why it was so. A tiger inscription was inscribed on it, with a tiger lying down, eyes squinting, feeling lazy, giving one a feeling of peace.
When Qing Shui saw this carving, his hair stood up. It was because these engravings did not appear very soft in Qing Shui's eyes.
This tiger's expression was similar to that of an unmoving mountain, and it would definitely not be inferior to the Tiger carving he had seen back then. Of course, these clueless people would never be able to understand the crux of the matter.
Qing Shui looked at the ferocious tiger on the stone monument, and while the fine lines of the tiger's body were lying on the ground, Qing Shui knew that/it could immediately launch the most terrifying attack in an instant.
Qing Shui stared at the stone monument and subconsciously, the Qi circulation of the Ancient Strengthening Technique slowed down, but his strength increased. Qing Shui stared at the entire tiger fixedly, not wanting to lose a single detail.
Many people came and went, not understanding why Qing Shui saw the most agile tiger, and was very very very drunk at that. Some would pause for a moment, and then leave, shaking their heads and sighing.
It doesn't move like a mountain!
Qing Shui finally understood what it meant to not move like a mountain. It was like an old man in the Heavenly Palace, each of them was like an immovable existence like a mountain.
Rightly it was only those who had accumulated hundreds of years of understanding and experience would be able to arrive at the Mountain-like Unmoving Realm.
It does not move like a mountain. To one standing there was like a mountain block, emitting an aura and pressure that would stop one from approaching …
The concept of this monument is only for someone who does not move like a mountain. Among all the beasts, only a ferocious tiger would be able to achieve this, and only a ferocious tiger would be able to possess the King dignity of ferocious beasts.
As Qing Shui understood this, the Qi of the Ancient Strengthening Technique that had been circulating in his body was endlessly undergoing an interesting change, causing a huge change to occur to Qing Shui.
The insight!
This is an improvement in one's conception sense, and is something that is hard to come by, just like one's disposition. A disposition is something that is built by time and the environment, as well as the concept.
Qing Shui only felt that/it was the Qi of the Ancient Strengthening Technique flowing within his body, and the liquid within Dan Tian suddenly condensed a lot, just like how they had increased a lot, and it became denser in his meridian channels and his Dan Tian, allowing him to feel his strength being amplified by the many all over his body.
Pa!
At that moment, the Ancient Strengthening Technique suddenly broke through from the 95th cycle to the 96th cycle, and seemed to show signs of being able to breakthrough to the 97th cycle.
While he felt that/that he had gained a lot of strength before, once again, he received an additional increase, bringing so much astonishment to Qing Shui that he was confused. It was like someone suddenly won a five million prize, and had just raised money when someone told him that/that something was wrong, and what he won was actually 30 million.
’’ Haha, it will soon reach the 97th cycle, and this will be the last cycle for the 4th layer of the Ancient Strengthening Technique after the 98th cycle. As long as I can break through the 99th cycle and enter the 100th cycle, it will be the 5th Layer of the Ancient Strengthening Technique and I will be able to head to the Yan Clan later. ” Qing Shui smiled happily, and even laughed out loud.
Many of the people around him all glanced strangely towards the handsome man who was standing at the same spot all afternoon, and now, he seemed to be smiling foolishly.
”Crazy..”
’’Did she fall in love? Who would be able to bear to leave such a handsome man? Too bad I'm tied up, otherwise I'll offer myself to her in marriage. ’’ A woman with thick makeup looked at Qing Shui, feeling heartache for him.
” Aunty, you? He will be able to get a better candidate if he casually grabs someone, ’’ A man says and chuckles.
’’ You heartless person. Do you think I don't recognize you?
” A few days ago when you had a time ball on me, what have you said? ” The woman asked.
The man ran away secretly!
Qing Shui rubbed his nose and shook his head, ” To think that/that I've gotten ahead of myself! ’
Qing Shui would never have expected to be able to comprehend the state without moving like a mountain from this inscription. Not only would it increase his aura by at least fifty percent, the Qi condensation of the Ancient Strengthening Technique would at least increase Qing Shui's strength by over ten percent, though, which has a greater effect than Small Revitalizing Pellets. And most importantly, there was an interesting change to his aura.
Qing Shui was well aware of the importance of exerting pressure. Why was he not too excited to raise it to fifty percent? ” Not moving like a mountain, haha, not moving like a mountain! ’
