AST 1850 - The formidable Power of the Goddess, 500.000 Dao Force

All twelve of the Portraits of Beauty were now in the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal. Also, he just found out the Art Maestro was still alive. How strong was he currently? Was he in any way related to the Qing Clan? How long could he live? What’s the limit of a human?

Also, the secrets behind all twelve of the Portraits of Beauty….. Could they represent the twelve Heavenly Meridians? What abilities would he gain once he connected all twelve of the Heavenly Meridians? Initially, he thought that the twelfth Portraits of Beauty would be very difficult to find, which was also perfectly normal. He would never have thought that he would manage to find all of them within this thirty years.

When it’s about time, Qing Shui immediately appeared within the realm and hung the portrait of the Vampiric Empress above the Magnificent Mountains and Rivers screen. All twelve of the Portraits of Beauty were hung side by side in an orderly manner.

A light which words couldn’t describe seemingly emerged from those portraits and began to swallow everything in the surrounding. Qing Shui was also covered in it. It felt like a dream, as an unimaginable kind of strength emerged within his body.

It felt like the Nine Yang Force, but at the same time, also like the Nine Yang Force of Dragon Soul. This strength was very unusual. It felt like a dry land just encountered rainwaters. Qing Shui’s body was absorbing it at a crazy pace.

This was ultimately a comfortable feeling. It felt very peaceful and at the same time also very harmonious. All in all, The energy was slowly nurturing Qing Shui’s body. His bones, meridians, bloodlines, and even organs were all absorbing the energy at a mad pace.

Though the strength might seem very little, it was continuously flowing into his body. It felt very comfortable and also looked very good. As to whether it was useful or not, this would depend on other factors, for example, time.

Of course, with Qing Shui in this current state, there was no doubt that he would get huge benefits from it. However, it would still take time. If the time given was short, then the benefits he could gain would be limited. But given enough time, he could potentially get a lot stronger.

While Qing Shui was standing there, a layer of faint light could be seen circulating around him. It wasn’t golden light, instead, it was rainbow-colored. It looked like a ring of light and also dense like a fog at the same time.

By the time Qing Shui came to his senses, three days had passed. He could already figure out his current state without feeling it. Three days was a long time, at least from Qing Shui’s perspective. After all, it was the first time he encountered such a phenomenon.

He tried to sense his strength only to find that it hadn’t increased that significantly. It increased from the original 400.000 Dao Force to the current 500.000 Dao Force. His raw strength managed to achieve 1.5 million Sun.

Judging by the phenomenon which he just went through, the amount of strength which he attained could not be considered as a significant increase. However, Qing Shui managed to find out about another huge benefit. His strength has become even more concrete than before.

It was like applying the same force to an iron staff and an embroidery needle respectively. Its penetrating force and damaging prowess were two completely different concepts. The gap in strength was too large.

This was just an assumption, not a way of comparing damaging prowess and force. It’s comparing their sharpness. By applying the same force to an iron staff instead of an embroidery needle, the strength could be significantly stronger.

This kind of strength was similar to a critical hit. But it wasn’t something which an ordinary critical hit could compare to. It was an increase of destructive power. For the same ten Jin Force, Qing Shui could unleash it at a hundred Jin and caused considerable damage.

Qing Shui’s strength has risen up by 100.000 Dao Force, but his actual destructive power increased multiple times. This kind of force didn’t just help to strengthen his offensive prowess. It also significantly improved the toughness of his body. He could now resist against devastating attacks.

To think that Qing Shui could receive such heaven-defying benefits by merely looking at all twelve of the Portraits of Beauty……. This could be one of the secrets from the Portraits of Beauty… He only needed to find out about what exactly this energy was.

Qing Shui kept having the feeling that he should give it a name…. Since this energy originated from the Portraits of Beauty, should it be named as the Goddess Force? This sounded a bit weird…..

Qing Shui thought about it for half a day, yet he was still unable to come up with any good names. Hence, he settled with the Goddess Force.

Qing Shui practiced his Taichi Fist while he was in the realm. Now, the feeling of Taichi Fist once again went through another change. Prior to this, it used to be formless and had no concept in it. But now, a bit of concept seemed to have been added into it.

At this moment, Qing Shui suddenly remembered the realms that were explained back then. Whether the mountain was a mountain, a mountain wasn’t a mountain, a mountain would still be a mountain. These three respective realms.

By now, he has already understood many things. Strength and realms were two existences which could never be separated from each other. Only when a person achieved a certain amount of strength, could they attain a new and higher leveled realm. Without strength, one could never accomplish anything in the realm they were at.

Qing Shui casually swayed his arms. In between his movements, his rhythms resembled that of fairies. His movement consisted of a combination of hardness and gentleness. And unlike any combination that was performed, his movement was at a much higher level.

……

On the next day, Qing Shui woke up quite early. When he entered the room outside, the Vampiric Empress was already awake. She was breastfeeding the baby. Qing Shui happened to see it.

“They are so huge and white!”

Qing Shui smiled as he sat down in front of her. He was looking at the two snow white breasts without blinking. They looked graceful and elegant while also plumped and upright. A mild fragrance was also spreading out across the room.

The Vampiric Empress also never expected for Qing Shui to turn up right away. No matter what relationship the two shared with each other, there was no need for them to avoid each other when she breastfed the baby. She just never expected Qing Shui to say it so straightforwardly.

“You are a bastard.” The Vampiric Empress said in a grumpy tone.

“Right now, I am a bit envious of her……” Qing Shui’s face was very thick. He wasn’t concerned about anything when he was saying it.

The Vampiric Empress knew exactly what Qing Shui meant. She blushed and kicked Qing Shui. Coincidentally, Qing Shui happened to be sitting right next to her leg. She was leaning against the couch while breastfeeding her baby.

Qing Shui didn’t try to avoid it. He extended his arm and grabbed on her bright foot. It felt cool and smooth, like a silk fabric and a jade stone. He felt very comfortable grabbing it. The Vampiric Empress whose leg was grabbed by Qing Shui trembled, “Qing Shui, I won’t kick you anymore. Please let me go.”

Qing Shui smiled. This woman’s personality didn’t allow her to give in to anyone. To think that she would actually surrender to him now… But he could already figure out the reason for it. Her legs should be her sensitive spot. This could be the reason why she didn’t put on her shoes.

“Let me help you massage your legs!” Qing Shui smiled as he started to massage her legs.

After a while, Qing Shui could already hear soft moaning noises coming out of the Vampiric Empress mouth. It was very elegant and attractive. Eventually, the moaning noise could be heard very loudly.

As of now, the face of the Vampiric Empress was looking very, very red. She knew that the man must be aware of the current state she was at, especially underneath her clothes. She was feeling very uncomfortable.

She didn’t dare to lift up her head to look at Qing Shui. Qing Shui did it intentionally. When Qing Shui eventually let go of her leg, she looked up only to see a warm smile on the man’s face.

Qing Shui, on the other hand, only saw the cold yet beautiful pupils of the Vampiric Empress. Her face was also blushing a little. A man who could help her reach the peak of her happiness by merely touching her legs……. Should she feel happy about it?

Though she hasn’t experienced any men before, the inheritance which she received contained knowledge about many things. They were all carried along as a part of the Demoness Tribe Inheritance. She has merely locked herself away from everything. Throughout these years, no men have ever walked into her heart. Not until she met Qing Shui. A drop of Blood Essence was the culprit which led to a destiny that would bother her for many years to come.
