All in all, Qing Shui was very satisfied with the results. The calculations of his strength had not factored in Divine Weapon Flying Sword, Emperor Qi, Mortal Step, and other abilities yet. At the same time, Qing Shui’s beasts’ strengths received a huge boost as well. This was especially true for Primordial Dragon Elephant, Dragon Slaying Beast, Dragon Spider, Dark Phoenix, Black Ice Divine Worm, and Diamond White Tiger King.

  The one that had improved the most was Diamond White Tiger King. Qing Shui was uncertain why the Diamond White Tiger King excelled so much in comparison with the other beasts. Moreover, Ling Chen’s White Tiger’s strength also increased at an incredible rate. Its increase was comparable to the Diamond White Tiger King, but the Diamond White Tiger King was still stronger.

  Dark Phoenix’s strength had exceeded one quadrillion dao whereas Primordial Dragon Elephant’s strength had just reached 700 trillion dao. Dragon Spider’s strength also reached 500 trillion dao. Dragon Slaying Beast and Black Ice Divine Worm’s strength could not be calculated using normal means.

  Diamond White Tiger King’s defense power had reached almost 750 trillion dao. This improvement was the real nirvana in Qing Shui’s eyes. In comparison, the other beasts’ increases were far less impactful than Diamond White Tiger King.

  Of course, all of these strengths factored in the effects of the formation and the cave’s strength. Grade Six Nurture God Realm’s cave also increased in strength.

  It was unfortunate that the Divine Battle Puppet could not absorb the Jade Liquor. Even Thunderous Beast, Jade Emperor Queen Bee, and Gold-Silver Colored Butterfly could absorb a bit of Jade Liquor. Most of them absorbed very little before they tapped out.

  Thunderous Beast would not be able to enter the battlefield anytime soon. This was unfortunate. Due to Thunderous Beast being a Divine Grade beast, its growth is extraordinarily slow. Given its tremendous strength in crowd control, Qing Shui would try to find every possibility to increase Thunderous Beast’s strength.

  Other than Qing Shui, the others’ strengths increased rapidly as well. Most of them were ready to experience the Thunder Tribulation. Luckily, all of them had Qing Shui’s Tribulation Evasion Pill.

  Once everyone returned safely, Qing Shui let out a sigh of relief. The strongest was Ling Chen who had reached Grade Seven Nurture God Realm. This was not out of the ordinary as Ling Chen’s realm was already very high. Encountering this Nirvana was only icing on the cake. Grade Seven Nurture God Realm’s strength was formidable. Even Qing Shui felt that it would be a tough fight to battle Ling Chen.

  The two female Massacre Battle God also reached Grade Five Nurture God Realm and Grade Six Nurture God Realm.

  Qing Shui felt taken aback by the events that just unfolded. Treasures could suddenly alter one’s fate. This type of encounter was once in a lifetime. It both enhanced the people’s realms and beasts’ abilities. This allowed everyone following Qing Shui to increase their battle prowess as a group. A battle force was created as a result.

  Qing Shui placed down a formation. The Jade Liquor only dripped once a day. He did not know how many years it would take to fill up the pond again. He proceeded to seal the cave with a formation to allow the next lucky candidate to reach the Nirvana Pond.

  In this cave, there was nothing else other than the Nirvana Pond.

  ……


  Two Years Later!

  Qing Shui sat cross-legged in midair within the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal. Behind him, ten caves appeared altogether. All of them were linked together, releasing immense pressure. Caves that were like diamonds released a golden aura.

  Qing Shui was like a buddha. His eyes were closed as he calmly sat there. His body was emitting a growing aura.

  Boom!

  All ten caves suddenly exploded with a golden aura as if they were a collection of small suns. Its brightness was astounding with all of the caves consecutively…


  Pop!

  The small noise came from Qing Shui’s Dantian. The purple Dantian had a miraculous change. Its color was clearer and more vivid. It was similar to that of an immortal’s cave. The cave at his Dantian was only the size of a fist, but its details were clear as day. All the patterns and veined lines could be clearly seen. Qing Shui found that the purple cave was very far away. The fist-sized cave was actually very large, but its distance was just far away.

  Its strength can be clearly seen while it was releasing an enormous pressure. The impression it gave was so divine and dignified to the point that people did not dare to look straight at it.

  Grade Seven Nurture God Realm!

  It took Qing Shui two years, which was the equivalent of two hundred years in the Realm of Violet Jade Immortal. Qing Shui’s cultivation speed was not fast, but his cultivation was very stable. Moreover, Qing Shui’s body was a tough thing to break.

  At Grade Seven Nurture God Realm, Qing Shui’s strength had undergone another major upgrade. Thinking back to Ling Chen’s Grade Seven Nurture God Realm from two years ago, Qing Shui laughed. Right now, Qing Shui could easily suppress him.

  Qing Shui’s current strength was 150 trillion dao in terms of attack power.

  His defense power was at 1.5 quadrillion dao.

  With the defense buff of the Heavenly Fate Treasure Pagoda of Defense, Qing Shui’s defense power would reach 1.8 quadrillion dao.

  Being under the influence of the Heavenly Fate Treasure Pagoda of Violence, his defense would be increased by 30 trillion dao which was the equivalent of 1.9 quadrillion dao defense power.

  Adding the effects of Battle God Halo, Formations, Area Dominance, and other battle techniques, Qing Shui’s total defense power would be at 4 quadrillion dao.

  Qing Shui had known that Ling Chen’s Grade Seven Nurture God Realm strength had been approximately 2.2 quadrillion dao.

  Grade Seven Nurture God Realm was a huge upgrade. It was a crucial stage to step into the highest realm of Nurture God realm. The difference was astounding when compared to the change between Grade Three to Grade Four Nurture God Realm. Qing Shui felt that his efforts to cultivate tirelessly within the Realm of Violet Jade Immortal were not in vain. In between, he had found some people to battle, such as Ling Chen.

  Without breaking through, Qing Shui could not beat Ling Chen normally. However, if he debuffed Ling Chen, in addition to the debuffs from the Divine Weapon Flying Sword, then it was a fight to be had. Without Qing Shui’s assistance, Ling Chen could not reach 2.2 quadrillion dao. Even some of the beast’s strengths had been buffed by Qing Shui before.

  Grade Seven Nurture God Realm could not be said to be reaching heaven in a single bound. Though it was true that those in the Grade Seven Nurture God Realm could easily annihilate those at Grade Six Nurture God Realm.

  During the last two years, they had also killed some Ancient Pureblood Beasts. As the beasts’ bloodline increased, the difficulty of enhancing the beasts’ bloodline purity also increased. It took several Blood Strengthening Pill just to increase 1% of a beasts’ bloodline. Fortunately, a 1% increase to their bloodline also meant that their strength would increase significantly.

  Primordial Golden Bear did not have to consider bloodline. As time passed, Qing Shui had not forgotten to cultivate. Primordial Golden Bear was situated in the tenth cave. Most of the time, he didn’t need to use Primordial Golden Bear. It was one of his trump cards. Even Qing Shui felt scared of Primordial Golden Bear’s strength.

  When Qing Shui left the Realm of Violet Jade Immortal, it was already daytime outside. This area was a manor within the capital of the Divine Nation.

  In these last two years, Qing Shui had already reached the capital of the Divine Nation. Along the way, he had annihilated several dozen Divine Palaces. Those Divine Palaces were not really considered anything material. In the last three months, the Divine Palaces that Qing Shui had trampled were considered the second tier. This resulted in the decision from the Divine Nation to send forces to wipe out Qing Shui’s forces.

  However, their first attempt was a failure. The Divine Nation headquarters divine palace had underestimated Qing Shui’s forces. With Ling Chen and Qing Shui here, they could easily rid themselves of the Battle Gods sent by the Divine Nation headquarters. Afterward, the Divine Nation did not make another move before Qing Shui reached the capital of the Divine Nation.

  After arriving at the capital, Qing Shui’s forces laid low for a while. They did not start any battles with anyone in the past month. Today, he suddenly broke through to Grade Seven Nurture God Realm.

  Even though it was calm right now, Qing Shui knew that this was just what appeared on the surface. The real trouble laid ahead.
