Ancient Strengthening Technique (Portraits of Beauty) Ancient Strengthening Technique Chapter 1111-1112

AST 1111 – Jiange is Here for Vengeance

The last category of Stone Woman mentioned seem to be the most dangerous to deal with. However, to Qing Shui, it was considered the best one out of the three categories. He already knew that it was impossible for her to be the first category as it was a psychological illness. Even if his medical expertise were greater, he might still not be able to treat it. The second category would cause even more headaches. Not only was a man unable to do anything with her, even if they forced the issue, it would only inflict fatal damage to her.

The second kind was also treatable. It was just a problem with bloodline. If that was the case, Qing Shui would be able to treat her with just Acupuncture. He would just need time to do so. Hence, Qing Shui wasn't too concerned back when he heard her confessing that she was a Stone Woman as the first kind of problem stated was removed right off the list.

As for the last kind, once a man ran into it, he would have no choice but to escape for good. Qing Shui was an exception as he possessed unique physique. He wasn't sure if the Golden Needle would be able to stop the Yin Energy Fire in her body, but he felt that doing this would kill off all the fun, let alone he wasn't in that much of a rush to have intercourse with her.

The wisest choice was to wait for his own Nine Yang Golden Body to go up another level.

"Alright Wu-shuang, you needn't worry. As long as it's not because you are cold towards me, I will be able to treat you just fine. And also, my body's physique is unique. Just wait a little while longer. Soon I will be able to have a good time with you just fine without the need of treating you." Qing Shui chuckled and looked at Wenren Wu-shuang mischievously.

Wenren Wu-shuang still felt a bit shy when she heard Qing Shui's explicit words. But she still shook her head, "I have read information about it from books before, lets just wait until after I get my body treated to do it…… If not, we can also keep our relations.h.i.+p like this forever……"

"Foolish brat, I possess the Nine Yang Body. In fact, it has even advanced to Nine Yang Golden Body at small success stage. By the time it reaches large success stage, I'll be even more certain that you won't be able to burn me. Also, you won't have to treat yourself because this way, we will be more comfortable in bed," Qing Shui laughed.

When Wenren Wu-shuang saw Qing Shui's uncanny smile, she already knew what he meant. Her face immediately turned red. After seeing Qing Shui's smile however, she felt a lot more relaxed. Actually, before this, she was worried about Qing Shui more than she was worried about herself.

Now, seeing the way Qing Shui reacted, she felt as if she was relieved of her burden. Staying by his side just like this wasn't actually that bad. When a man and a woman were together, it was not a must to have `that`…

"Alright, have faith in me, I swear to you that I will have you give birth to our children," Qing Shui said seriously.

"Alright, I believe in you, what kind of oath are you making?" Wenren Wu-shuang quickly interrupted Qing Shui.

Seeing that she seemed a lot more relaxed, Qing Shui too let out a sigh of relief. Now, he finally understood why she left Qing Clan without saying goodbye. One would need a lot of courage to confess a problem like this.

Qing Shui thought about the Violet Golden Bloodline Pearl. Judging from its simple and unadorned medicinal bottle with a flower pattern, this thing must have been something really ancient. Certainly, it wasn't something that was refined recently. In fact, the pills were discovered within the Interspatial Silk Sachet which belonged to Beitang Demon.

It was very likely that Beitang Demon held an honorable status in Beitang Clan. The only unfortunate thing that happened to him was running into Qing Shui. On top of that, thanks to his carelessness, he was finished before the fight had barely even started. The Interspatial Silk Sachets which he left behind were all of good quality. Among those sachets that Beitang Demon had left behind, even though they all had plentiful stuff stored within, Qing Shui still never expected there to be Violet Golden Bloodline Pearls.

The only thing which he regretted was not being able to find low grade Sacred Beast Pills from them.

Somehow Qing Shui had a feeling that the Violet Golden Bloodline Pearl was discovered by accident by Beitang Demon. It was very likely that he didn't dare to use it because he was unaware of what it was used for. It could also be that he only got them recently. But it all turned out in Qing Shui's favor instead. It would have been great if these Violet Golden Bloodline Pearls could be condensed into Violet Golden Blood Essence.

Upon taking in the Violet Golden Bloodline Pearl this time, it was unknown if it would help Wenren Wu-shuang change her body's physique. He felt that there wouldn't be any bad influence to her body. Since that was the case, he stopped thinking about it. But he still chose to talk about it briefly with Wenren Wu-shuang as he was aware that deep down, she was still finding it a bit hard to let go of the matter.

"Wu-shuang, the thing that you took in previously was the Violet Golden Bloodline Pearl. By using your Inner Sight, you will notice a few of the powerful purple blood droplets within your bloodstream. There is formidable energy within them which will possibly change your body's physique."

"This is great, tell me, will my body's physique revert back to normal?" Wenren Wu-shuang looked at Qing Shui in surprise.

After a night of being constantly on the move, Qing Shui, Lin Zhanhan, Little Fattie, Yiye Tian and the girls all felt especially good. Furthermore, Qing Shui noticed that Lin Zhanhan seemed to have become a lot younger overnight. The girls seemed to have become even more beautiful as well. That was a kind of feeling, a kind of charm emitted from one's body.

There were roughly eighty one Violet Golden Bloodline Pearls here. Qing Shui didn't count through them very carefully. He felt quite good about them. Other than that, the only thing that he knew about them was that they were things from ancient times, he didn't actually know how to make them. Furthermore, they were really rare items.

Breakfast was really splendid. Everyone had a good time eating it. None of them intentionally talked about the things that they needed to do today. Despite this, each and every one of them were aware that today was a very important day.

"Since everyone is done eating, let's continue on with our journey!" Qing Shui stood up and smiled

"Alright!"

Qing Shui and the others made their way to the top of the building. At the time when they arrived, Qing Shui quickly summoned his Golden Scaled Dragon Elephant and Yiye Jiange summoned her Seven-headed Crystal Beast.

Qing Shui and the group became more and more distant away from Northern Sacred Country. Meanwhile, they were also getting closer and closer to Lion King's Mountain. When they saw the enormous Lion King's Mountain from the sky, they were all stunned with shock.

In the past, they had only heard a thing or two about it. This was the first time that they saw the actual mountain. This was an enormous mountain area or rather, group of mountains. A lot of the mountain peaks were in the shape of lions. They were of unequal size and all came with different appearances. It might have looked really similar from far away but when one looked at it up close, they would notice that they were actually all different.

Among the group of numerous mountains, there were a few that looked unusually large. They were emitting a tremendous and arrogant aura. Additionally, there was also an ancient feel to it.

"Some of the largest mountains already have formidable warriors in them. Most importantly, the Ancient Teleportation Array is in one of them." Qing Shui was pondering over these. These were all things that Qiu Feng had told him about.

Suddenly, Qing Shui, who was in the middle of his flight, felt that he entered an area with unusual airflow. That was a feeling that couldn't be described in words. He looked towards the girls and Lin Zhanhan.

"How are you guys feeling?" Qing Shui asked softly.

"A bit panicked!

Lin Zhanhan responded. He was the weakest out of all of them, meaning that he could feel it the most clearly.

Qing Shui's Nature Energy and some other stuff immediately helped neutralize those feelings. This was most likely the Spiritual Pressure of Lion King Mountain.

After an hour of flight, they were already quite close to the front. Also, people could already be seen. To think that this time they had actually called upon a few thousand people……

Even though there was still quite some distance between them, Qing Shui could already see them really clearly. It seemed like his strength once again took a big step forward.

Other than just people, there were also demonic beasts across the sky. Qing Shui smiled, they're obviously trying to show off just how strong they were.

This was already considered half of the force of Lion King's Ridge. Looking from far away, Qing Shui noticed that the people were divided into separate waves. Among them, there were a lot of warriors who weren't in Lion King's Ridge attire.

Qing Shui remembered the things that Du Yannian said. Even though Beitang Clan was considered the most formidable in Lion King's Ridge, not all of the people within Lion King's Ridge supported them. Since now, the people from Lion King's Ridge hadn't made their move, it was very likely they would only take action once Qing Shui laid a finger on Lion King's Ridge.

This was the debt that Beitang Clan owed back then. Hence, it would naturally require Beitang Clan themselves to pay it back in full. At least these were the things that a few of the most influential people from Lion King's Ridge agreed with. Today, they were still here prepared for battle. Just in case anything happened, they could adapt according to the situation.

For example, if Beitang Clan managed to emerge victorious, at least they would still be able to do something about it in time.

Qing Shui still slightly knitted his brows looking at the numerous beasts across the sky. Even though he had the Soulshake Bell with him, it was not as if it would be effective all the time. It was already quite splendid to be able to cause problems for hundreds of the beasts but now, there were definitely more than ten thousand of them here.

It seemed like his actions had already managed to gain attention from them and caused them to regard him as someone important. No matter how the fight turned out today, Lion King's Ridge was already considered to have already lost all of their face and this wasn't even Qing Shui's true goal, his true goal was to have them lose their lives.

Standing at a distance, with both side's strengths, they were already able to look at each other very clearly. There were many people on the opposite side. Qing Shui swept over all of them with a glance and through their aura, caught all of the key people in the fight. Additionally, he even managed to notice a few powerful warriors not from Lion King's Ridge, so much so that there were a few auras that were particularly familiar. Back when he was in Northern Sacred Continent, they must have been watching him from far away.

Qing Shui locked his sight on some of the men in front. Through their resentful aura, Qing Shui could tell that they were the clan leaders he was looking for, people he should demand payment from.

The old man in the center of the front had quite a tall and st.u.r.dy body. He might not be overly tall physically, but he gave off a towering aura. From his appearance, he didn't seem that old. He had both black and white hair with a stubborn-looking face. Both of his eyes looked sharp and contained a type of aggressiveness like that of eagles or vultures, making people not dare to share gazes with him.

His gown was colored silver. However, his silver looked a bit different from other kinds of silver. It was a s.h.i.+nier and deeper kind of silver. The golden mythical lion on top of it also looked more splendid and dazzling.

Beitang Yingji!

Qing Shui also noticed that middle-aged old man. After that, he pulled Yiye Jiange who was beside him, Luan Luan and Lin Zhanhan, they slowly proceeded forward.

"Are you regretting your decision for not totally wiping us out at that time?" Yiye Jiange said softly looking at Beitang Yingji on the opposite side. She sounded a bit agitated when she said this.

She had never thought that she would actually talk to this man again in her lifetime.

She had wanted to destroy the Lion King's Ridge in her dreams and avenge her dead father and mother. But often, she would end up remembering what her dad said about never doing that. This caused her to be in agony. She didn't want her father and mother to be unable to rest in peace in the afterlife, hence, she thought to herself that even if she had no reason to live, she would still hold onto and move forward with her life. She couldn't afford to let their deaths be for naught.

"This day has finally come… Father, mother, uncle… Do you all see this? Jiange is here to avenge you… Avenge the entire Yiye Clan…" Yiye Jiange raised her head. As she did that, tears started streaming down her face like small rivers.

Both Yiye Tian and Luan Luan were also looking into the sky in tears.

"Father, mother, we're all living happy lives. Take a look at her, she is Luan Luan, your granddaughter. She is all grown up. Not only that, she is the precious bloodline of the Yiye Clan… Father, mother, please protect us up in heaven and help make sure we succeed in avenging you…" Yiye Tian said gently.

"Grandpa, grandma, I am Luan Luan. Me, daddy, aunt as well as my aunties have finally avenged you guys. He is also my daddy and aunt's husband……" Luan Luan explained it in a very confusing way. Despite this, she sounded really clear with what she said.

The other girls all remained silent, however, there were tears in their eyes.
……

"Haha, you must be Jiange, you're still as beautiful as ever, even though we haven't seen each other in a long time. No wonder that foolish son of mine would feel reluctant to make his move. After so many years, he still ended up giving away his life to you." Even though Beitang Yingji seemed like he was laughing, there was no trace of a smile on his face.

AST 1112 – The Sky Lion Killing Formation Unsettlement, Vicious and Merciless, Killing People as if Chopping Cabbage

"Those who have nothing to do with Beitang Clan, I hope that none of you will interfere in this fight. I'm here mainly to apologize as well as greet all of you. Of course, if any of you still intend to interfere, I will just treat you the same way I will treat Beitang Clan." When Qing Shui finished speaking, he cupped his hands together.

Qing Shui stood out and said this to the people in the surroundings. His voice could be heard very clearly, even far away. Furthermore, he also used his mighty spirit energy. He did so to show off his strength to the people around him. Everything in the World of the Nine Continents was decided by strength. No matter how reasonable one has been with his words, it would still be less convincing than strength alone.

No one intended to refute Qing Shui's statement right away. Certainly, there were a lot of them who felt disdain listening to him. They seemed like they were ridiculing Qing Shui for being ignorant. Frankly speaking, only people who were truly ignorant would go and mock someone for being ignorant.

Throughout Qing Shui's entire journey, he had made it this far by constantly moving forward and killing people at the same time. But there were very few witnesses, it was mostly only pa.s.sed on through rumors. Now however, when they realized that Qing Shui wasn't as the rumors said, a tall person with formidable abilities but only a handsome young man, a lot of them instead began to lose respect for him. How powerful can a person be at his age? The rumor was truly unreliable.

Qing Shui never thought that he would be able to meet the clan head so soon. In fact, he kind of a.s.sumed that he would only meet clan head of the Beitang Clan at the time he reached Lion King's Ridge. Meeting him here was just right in his favor as it would save him a lot of trouble.

As Qing Shui swung his hand, a bunch of flags appeared in his hands. After that, he started arranging them in the surroundings. He was preparing a safe zone for his women in case anything happened.

They all had the Sacred Jade Divine Stone Ring. Hence, it would be easy for them to hide themselves within the Nine Palace Eight Trigram Formation. It's just that even though he wanted to set up the formation, the people weren't letting him do it.

"Lion King Devil Slaying Squad, go!" Beitang Yingji immediately dropped down the order to start the ma.s.sacre as soon as he saw Qing Shui's movement.

Qing Shui revealed a cold smile at the corners of his mouth. He swung his hands and summoned out his own demonic beasts. The girls also followed along and called upon their respective beasts. They quickly set up their formation and kept it heavily guarded.

Roar…

Roars that shook heaven resounded. On the opposite side, there were as many as a hundred beasts charging towards them from all directions. They were all heading towards where Qing Shui and crew were. In actuality, a hundred beasts were already the maximum number that could fit, as the s.p.a.ce was quite limited. If there had been more, they wouldn't have managed to squeeze in together.

At the moment when the demonic beasts approached them, Qing Shui lifted up his leg and violently stomped on the ground.

Mighty Elephant Stomp!

Simultaneously, the demonic beasts around him quickly attacked.

Even though Qing Shui's Mighty Elephant Stomp was no longer his major killer move with its current strength, there was still a chance for it to cause dizziness in his enemies. Particularly when it was used against demonic beasts with around ten thousand stars worth of strength, it was very useful.

Bang!

Roar!

For a moment, the entire place looked as if a grand firework just exploded. It looked so beautiful that even words couldn't describe it. The only thing was that it was formed by the blood splatter of the demonic beasts.

Roar!

Qing Shui opened his mouth and immediately let out the Lion King's Roar.

The demonic beasts which originally planned to charge towards them were annihilated by Qing Shui's Lion King's Roar. The sound wave penetrated right through the huge beasts' heads causing fatal brain damage resulting in their immediate death. Even though they looked the same from the outside, their brains had been destroyed.

A few hundred of the enormous demonic beasts immediately dropped down towards the ground.

"Oh G.o.d, he actually knew how to use the Lion King's Roar that's originated from our Lion King's Ridge."

"He actually managed to cultivate all the way up to this level."

……

For a moment, a lot of the people from Lion King's Ridge were shocked. Lion King's Roar was Lion King's Ridge's Spiritual Battle Technique. On top of that, it was considered quite a high level battle technique. A lot of people were aware that this battle technique might have had something to do with Beitang Lie. But how could he possibly train up to this extent within such a short span of time?

Qing Shui didn't even look. He was doing all of this casually. The flags could be seen constantly flying off his hands and sticking itself into the ground in perfect order. At this moment, a lot of the crowd was finally able to witness how extraordinary this handsome young man was.

It was as people said "Once the pro makes a move, real experts would be able to tell the truth". Even low grade warriors would know how strong Qing Shui was and what kind of formidable strength he possessed. In addition to that, these formidable warriors finally sensed how frightening the latent spirit energy prowess that Qing Shui possessed was.

At this moment, the Lion King Devil Slaying Team also appeared not far away from Qing Shui. There were about a hundred people in this small team.

By the time Qing Shui threw down the last flag, the Nine Palace Eight Trigram Formation has already been set up. He signalled the girls and Little Fattie. Lin Zhanhan on the other hand, entered the formation directly.

Lion King's Ridge or rather, Beitang Clan had truly spent a lot on this plan. Not only a hundred people but they were warriors with quite formidable strength. Around a hundred thousand stars… And this was in the five continents, a hundred thousand stars…… It seemed as if they might still have some things which was capable of ignoring the laws of heaven and earth.

They appeared immediately after setting up their formation.

Their formation was really unique. Nine people at both the front and the back, with seven in the middle. However, they stood in a five tier crisscrossing pattern. A layer of faint light enveloped them within the formation. Additionally, there was a line connecting them together. Lastly, the convergence point was focused onto the three elderly men in the very front of the formation.

The three men's attire consisted of silver colored gowns with a golden lion pattern each. Through the color of their gowns, Qing Shui was able to tell that they held honorable positions within Lion King's Ridge.

After sensing his opponents' strengths, Qing Shui didn't express much surprise. However, it somehow made him feel a bit stressed as the hundreds of warriors were able to draw out strength that was worth roughly a million three hundred thousand stars through the formation.

If it wasn't because of the Dragon's Qi which he had absorbed, things would have very likely turned out tragically here. He thought about back when he got full of himself thinking he could step on top of Lion King's Ridge with his strength that was worth a hundred thousand stars and blushed. Indeed, the ignorant person feared nothing.

The opponents had basically used the Demonic Beast Armor Manifestation in their formation. There was quite a huge variety of manifested demons from the Demonic Beast Armors Manifestation but most of them were mainly lions. At this moment, about a hundred of them had already formed an enormous formation, giving off an earth-shattering aura.

Qing Shui smiled. Ever since he got stronger, his spirit energy has become his main a.r.s.enal. When in the five continents, if one was to continue getting stronger, they could only do it by strengthening spirit energy. Hence, the only powerful thing about them was their spirit energy attacks. But now, in addition to that, Qing Shui also had the most powerful barrier with him which could help him negate almost 70% of spirit energy attacks.

This was also the biggest benefit and security that the Arhat Rosary Beads and Spirited Snake Turtle brought to him. For people with the same strength as Qing Shui, Qing Shui's endurance and resistance were heaven defying.

"Young man, you're really powerful. However, the only thing bad about you is that you're too arrogant. Do you seriously think that you can stomp over Lion King's Ridge by yourself? Don't see yourself so highly! Today, I will show you the true nature of a Supreme Sect!" Out of the three old men taking the lead, the elderly man in the center said. He sounded really calm and confident when he said it.

If the situation hadn't been special and if it weren't because Qing Shui was really formidable, making so many old men form formations to battle a young man, they wouldn't have done it. The reason being that they couldn't afford to lose face in front of that man.

"It has been so many years, to think that the next time we used the Sky Lion Killing Formation would actually be against a young man… You young man, you can die without any regrets now," an elderly man on the left hand side smiled and said. He had white hair but no beard, making him look a bit younger.

"Go into the formation!" Qing Shui turned around and told the girls with a smile.

"Alright! You have to be careful!" Yu He smiled and said. After that, she followed the others and entered the formation together. When inside the formation, they could see the scenes outside from specific positions.

They all knew that them being here would only distract him. It wasn't really time for them to make their moves yet, at least the time was yet to be nigh for them to take action.

Demonic Beast Armor Manifestation!

The Earth Diamond Bear let out a huge shriek and enveloped Qing Shui. After Qing Shui had absorbed the Violet Golden Bloodline Pearl, slight changes seemed to also have taken place in the Earth Diamond Bear.

Nine Continents Mountain!

Qing Shui summoned the Nine Continents Mountain. The reason he summoned it now was just to use it as a s.h.i.+eld. Occasionally, it could help defend against incoming attacks. At other times, it could also be used to defend against sneak attacks. Other than that, it also had some unique abilities.

"Well then, I am really looking forward to seeing if you guys can really use the Sky Lion Killing Formation today."

Qing Shui smiled at them. Soon, he disappeared from the ground along with the Nine Continents Mountain.

Tidal Cloud Waves Seal!

As soon as Qing Shui's body appeared, the Nine Continents Mountain shot towards the opposite side by Qing Shui's formidable thrusting force. As this happened, Qing Shui lifted up his hands and used the Tidal Cloud Waves Seal.

In an instant, an enormous wave of water appeared and drowned all of the people near it.

Roar!

Sky Lion's Rage!

It might be that Qing Shui's current strength was not enough or it could also be that the elderly men were all quite strong but they somehow managed to dispel Qing Shui's Waves Seal.

Sky Lion Consuming Sun!

The three old men taking the lead worked together and cast out a flame lion. This lion looked really real, compared to those before, it seemed to be a lot more powerful. Even though this somehow had to do with the techniques used, it also depended heavily on the caster's strength.

Legend has it that the Sky Lion was a being that was at the same grade as the Golden Ni Lion . At this very moment, it had its mouth wide open and was letting out loud shrieks while leaping towards Qing Shui. From its large mouth, raging flame could be seen inside it. It was exactly like a huge stovepipe. If one was swallowed by it, they would most likely be burnt to death. Additionally, there was a high chance that it still had even stronger moves up its sleeves.

Looking on as the enormous Sky Lion approached him, Qing Shui still retained the smile on his face. He quickly condensed an enormous Primordial Flame Ball on the palm of his hand. He waited for the critical time and tossed it into the mouth of the Sky Lion.

Primordial Flame Explosion!

This was considered a tremendously destructive battle technique, particularly when it was used under this kind of circ.u.mstances. By bursting it within the Sky Lion's stomach, it would help raise the destructive capability of it to its maximum potential. Conserving every single bit of its power.

Beng!

The enormous explosion immediately caused the Sky Lion to turn red and disappear into the air. Standing against the shock and astonished faces, Qing Shui's body could be seen once again making his way towards them.

Primordial Flame Dragon Drill!

Qing Shui charged towards the old man who was standing guard at the center of the formation with his enormous Primordial Flame Dragon. The spinning Primordial Flame Dragon rotated fast like a huge drill. As a result, black airstreams were generated from the powerful rotations produced by the Primordial Flame Dragon, forming a black vortex in the air. It was so terrifying that people would be frightened stiff just by taking one glance at it.

Demon Binding Ropes!

Qing Shui took advantage of the time when the enemy was in shock and tossed out the Demon Binding Ropes. An instant was already sufficient for him to bind his enemies together. He didn't use the Buddha's Manifestation. Even if the Primordial Flame Drill had been stronger, it wouldn't be able to instantly penetrate through the enemies' Sky Lion Killing Formation.

The old man in the middle was unable to resist against it and was unable to display his strength. Considering that his position was the most important, without him, the strength of the formation was cut in half. With half of its strength reduced, Qing Shui's Primordial Flame Dragon Drill was able to pierce through the formation.

With one of the elder's presences gone, the line connecting their formation was broken. The people in the surroundings got blown away by the powerful and brutal attacks. As a result, they each inflicted damage to different extents. The Primordial Flame Dragon Drill in Qing Shui's hand immediately turned into a huge Primordial Flame Whip and drew itself towards the people in the surroundings with agile movements.

In just a short while, the entire place turned silent. Qing Shui was ruthless. He didn't leave any of them alive. And on top of that, that all happened in the span of three breaths of time.

The people in the surroundings all sucked in cold air as they saw what happened. The more than a hundred people that got killed were no small deal, they were all Martial Emperor grade formidable warriors. Not only that but they were high grade Martial Emperors. But now, they were being killed so easily, just like chopping cabbages.

It was as if the words that a few of the elderly men from the Lion King Devil Slaying Squad mentioned from before were still echoing in the surroundings.

"Young man, you're really powerful. However, the only thing bad about you was that you are too arrogant. Do you seriously think that you can stomp over Lion King's Ridge by yourself? Don't see yourself so highly! Today, I will show you the true nature of a Supreme Sect!"

"It has been so many years, to think that the next time we used the Sky Lion Killing Formation would actually be against a young man… You young man, you can die without any regret now."
