Qing Shui as the Disciple Leader? Yin and Yang Pictures
’’ Can't move like a mountain, haha. Can't move like a mountain! ’’
Recalling what the lady said earlier, Qing Shui shook his head. He laughed and prepared to leave. Civilized customs are prevalent in the world of the nine continents, and although rare, such women can be seen every now and then.
After spending more than an afternoon staring at the stone tablet, Qing Shui glanced at the others behind him. A lot of time was needed to finish looking at this one, but Qing Shui knew that/it was a lot of stone tablets might only take a short time, though, like the one on the Ferocious Tiger that hunts the Wild Boar.
However, for Crouching Tiger on the Mountains and Resting Tiger, a level like a stone tablet took half a day, even though Qing Shui was already at the Cultivation Perfection Stage of the Tiger Shape. If one was not proficient in the Beast Form Fist, it would be difficult for him to find anything even after a year. What's more, some people will have the patience to last for a year.
” I don't even know when I'll be able to finish reading all these tablets of stone. ” Qing Shui felt the tablet behind would not be understood by him, and even if he managed to finish it all , he would need a lot of time.
When Qing Shui arrived at his inn, he saw an old man standing there before he could climb upstairs. Qing Shui recognized him, he was the old man who lectured the [Heavenly Palace Sword Art] in the square. He had heard from others that/that man was called Elder Mo.
Qing Shui had a good impression of the old man, and naturally welcomed him, ‘’How are you, Elder Mo?’
’’ You must be Qing Shui. I'm waiting for you! ’’ Elder Mo smiled at Qing Shui.
He had no idea why Elder Mo was standing here, and he had even more clueless since the man had been waiting for him. So, Qing Shui was quite stunned when he heard those words.
”Waiting me? Why is Elder Mo looking for me? ” Despite the surprise, Qing Shui managed to express his question.
Elder Mo looked at Qing Shui and said slowly, ” Palace Lord wants me to ask if you are interested in becoming the Head Disciple of Starmoon Hall. ”
’’ Student Chair? Didn't Starmoon Hall already have it? ” Qing Shui replied doubtfully. He thought about Gongsun Jianwu, the Disciple Leader of Starmoon Hall, and the sight of him walking miserably in front of him today. He would feel even more terrifying if he accepted the position of the Disciple Leader.
’’ Mm, Jianwu has approved you to be the Disciple Chair, ’’ Elder Mo replied straightforwardly. It seemed like he was fully aware of the situation and had overcome it. After all, it would be somewhat embarrassing for the Head Disciple to be pushed by someone else.
Qing Shui hesitated for a moment before rejecting this unthinkable position. ’’ I won't be the Head Disciple. I don't fit in. ’
One must know that/it is in every Hall of the Heavenly Palace, the position of the Head Disciple is especially honorable. The aristocratic Chief Disciple was the most outstanding disciple, the aspiring Palace Master. He would then become a Palace Lord if nothing went wrong.
With regards to the inheritance of the Sect, the Disciple Leader would be one of the important candidates running for the Palace Master. Thus, the Disciple Chairmen of all the halls were considered to be of the same rank as the Elders in the Heavenly Palace. Even if a Head Disciple failed to become a Palace Master, he would become an Elder.
To become the Head Disciple, one had to be superior in terms of his energy and spirit talent. Thus, even if he were to be replaced by someone more prominent, his cultivation would allow him to become an Elder.
Moreover, although cultivation was important in the Palace Master Selection, one's thoughts, thoughts, moral character and behavior were equally important. Hence as long as one was chosen to become a Prime Disciple, it was not uncommon for him to be replaced.
Qing Shui's words surprised Elder Mo. He thought that/it presented this term would make Qing Shui ecstatic, after all, there were only nine Main Disciples among the millions of people in the Heavenly Palace.
The honor given to the Prime Disciples was incredible and their choices were also very strict. Qing Shui seemed to be profitable so quickly because of Cang Wuya and Fei Wuji. Without them, he would have to go through strict judgment despite his abilities.
Elder Mo was empty for a while. Qing Shui's answer went beyond what he expected. Such luck was rare because after becoming the Disciple Leader, not only did one achieve a different status, but martial techniques, medicinal pellets, armor, and more, and the weapons that one could possess would be of the highest grade, right below the Great Elder and the Palace Master.
Therefore, Elder Mo had not expected Qing Shui to reject him. For a moment, Elder Mo was confused and speechless; the offer he made just now was only expressed as courtesy – he wanted to say ” Palace Lord wants you to be the Disciple Leader ”.
Qing Shui looked at Elder Mo's expression and laughed. ’’ Elder, I currently have no plans to become the Disciple Leader. Is there anything I can help you with? ’
’I underestimated You. A Head Disciple from Starmoon Hall would be in a position to fight for it if presented to others, but you are not interested, ’’ Elder Mo commented with a sigh.
’’ Elder Mo is wrong. It's not that I'm not interested, but I don't have a plan for that right now. I have unfinished business, ” Qing Shui replied seriously.
Elder Mo looked at Qing Shui and laughed in a knowing way. ” In that case, don't talk about this for now. Are you able to participate in the duel between the halls next year as the Disciple Leader? ’
Qing Shui thought about it, there was still a year before next year's competition. To him, this amount of time was like fifteen years.
Even if he did not rely on the Heavenly Palace, he would need a unique character and cultivate some presence. He would also need a group of people with him as he built his footing in the world of the nine continents, and the Qing Family would be the best candidate.
’’ Elder, this I will promise you; I just hope you can talk to the original Disciple Leader about it. ’” Qing Shui once again thought of Gongsun Jianwu.
” Alright, you don't have to worry about this. That was a deal. This is for you, you can freely enter the Library of Heavenly Palace, but the books inside are not allowed to be taken out. ’’ Elder Mo grinned and handed over a token similar to the Purple Heavenly Palace Token Canghai had given him.
” Library of Heavenly Palace! ” Qing Shui didn't expect that. In fact, he almost forgot about it. The most precious place among the clans and nobles was the Library, and thinking about it made Qing Shui a little excited.
Qing Shui accepted it and said, ” Thank you, Elder! ’’
Elder Mo left and Qing Shui checked the beautiful purple token. The word Heavenly Palace was written on it. Qing Shui thought the token was neither gold nor silver, but it was extremely difficult.
Qing Shui returned to his room and trained hard all night. The Ancient Strengthening Technique was still at the peak of the 96th cycle. He knew he would make a breakthrough in three days and just collect the cycle now without any obstructions. As long as sufficient strength accumulated, he would be able to break through it.
At the morning training, the others were already used to Qing Shui's presence. Although there was still a commotion about it, the air around Qing Shui apparently made people shrivel and refrain from approaching him.
An inability like a mountain meant an immobile aura. This was the character ascension achieved yesterday when Qing Shui entered an immovable inner state like a mountain of Resting Tiger stone tablets.
In the square, Qing Shui executed the Taiji form and concept. The smooth manner of execution was exquisite!
At the end of the morning training, Qing Shui walked towards Cang Wuya's inn. He felt a little excited today as he was going to study the Heavenly Thunder Slash from Cang Wuya.
Qing Shui was very interested in the Heavenly Thunder of the Heavenly Palace. That technique could increase attacks by up to thirty percent, which was definitely not a small amount, especially for those with superior attacks.
Canghai Mingyue and Huoyun Liu-Li were already there. The two beautiful girls laughed and talked to each other happily, but fell silent when they saw Qing Shui.
Although they did not speak, the two of them had a sly smile when they looked at Qing Shui, leaving him perplexed. Could they be talking about him? Talk with joy …
His technique was taught directly by Cang Wuya and this time was no different. Cang Wuya looked at Qing Shui and the two women, smiling before slowly saying, ‘’Heavenly Thunder Slash is the strongest, fiercest, and most penetrating technique of the Heavenly Palace. This included the power of thunder in his attack, but to be able to use the power of thunder, you should at least reach the Obscure Realm. At that time, you will have a chance to instantly shut down the enemy. ’
Cang Wuya's words made Qing Shui's eyes light up. This technique really has a numbing effect. After the party was numb, even if it was only for a moment, it could result in death or at least serious injury as there was no room for error when the two experts exchanged blows.
” The numbing effect will occur when we reach the Containing Realm. Even if it is brief, serious damage can be dealt with. ” The glint in Qing Shui's eyes shone even brighter.
” After I master the Heavenly Thunderbolt, I must reach the Clear Realm in the shortest time possible, ” Qing Shui secretly swore.
Cang Wuya saw Qing Shui immersed in his thoughts and laughed. ” Although numbness can cause serious damage, the chances are low, and if your opponent's spirit energy is strong enough, it will have almost no effect on his mental technique. ’
” Is there such an effect if our spirit energy becomes strong enough? ” Qing Shui thought of the Yin and Yang Images in his sea of consciousness. It could continuously strengthen his muscles, bones, vital points, internal organs, and spirit energy.
Although the effect was small, it was unrelenting. Even the little flesh of a mosquito is still meat! Moreover, an unceasing accumulation!
Qing Shui recalled the Potential Fruit he had eaten earlier which strengthened his spirit energy. It was something that could only be seen, and it was unknown how much fruit it could consume. Qing Shui hoped to find her again in the future. After all, he had gained a bit of it at another time – his spiritual feeling had increased because of that.
Qing Shui grinned and nodded at Cang Wuya, and continued to listen to his explanation!
’’ Heavenly Thunder Slash is not a martial technique. This was a form of cultivating Qi. Simply put, it was used to gather Qi, concentrate Qi, form air explosions, and from there, gain a powerful and powerful explosive power. ’
Cang Wuya explained slowly, describing how to cultivate Qi by using the Heavenly Thunder Thunder. One would find out the dominance of this Qi cultivation way by listening to Cang Wuya's explanation.
