AST 2235 - Qing Shui's Gold Cave, Strength Growing Rapidly

Double caves . . . To reach two caves the moment she attained a breakthrough . This was a talent blessed by the heavens . However, thereafter, another cave appeared behind Beihuang Fan .

To be reaching triple caves on the first breakthrough . . .

There were no further breakthroughs . It stopped at triple caves .

Beihuang Fan looked at Qing Shui, her gaze filled with struggles and then she turned to leave .

As Beihuang Fan slowly left and her beautiful figure went into the distance, fresh blood once again flowed out from the corners of Qing Shui's lips . However, at this moment, a vortex appeared behind him . Qing Shui's brows furrowed as if he was trying to bear with this intense pain .

Dark clouds suddenly filled up the sky . There were even some purple clouds amongst them, covering up the entire sky .

Boom!

A bolt of lightning struck out toward Qing Shui .

Qing Shui hadn't thought that comprehending this relationship would bring him a tribulation . Was this a gain from one's experience? Why did he have the feeling that the price he paid for this experience was too great?

A bolt of lightning struck Qing Shui . He didn't move, but the vortex behind him grew increasingly stronger, as if wanting to suck in the world around it .

Boom boom . . .

The densely packed lightning bolts kept landing, and only the snow-white lightning bolts could be seen in the sky .

Zizi . . .

A bolt of violent lightning struck down .

Qing Shui shivered, but it was his heart that ached . It was as if he had seen Tantai Lingyan when she had left . He wondered how she was doing . To think that he hadn't been able to suppress the powerful Demon King's Blood in her body .

His body ached and several huge violet lightning bolts landed on Qing Shui's body .

Ahhh!

Qing Shui was in so much pain that it felt as if his body were going to break . It was as if his body was no longer his own . He let out a loud bellow into the skies, as if wanting to unleash the suppressed and irritating feelings in his body completely .

As he bellowed out, the vortex behind him slowly became a cave . Most importantly, it was in a faint gold color, but it was a cave .

Boom boom . . .

Lightning once again appeared in the sky . At this moment, a huge vortex appeared in the gold cave, sucking in all the wild lightnings in the sky . This was not all . Qing Shui also discovered a strange thing . The Thunderous Beast was in this cave .

For a moment, Qing Shui couldn't understand what was going on .

The lightnings in the sky kept on plunging down, but the gold cave was like a bottomless hole, drawing in all the lightning bolts no matter how many there were . The faint gold cave became increasingly condensed and glimmered . It was unlike any other caves .

At the very least, it was different from Beihuang Fan's caves from earlier, as well as the Golden Yakshas' caves .

Qing Shui felt that his physical strength was increasing as well . It wasn't increasing at a very fast speed, but it wasn't slow either . This was given to him by the lightning that had struck him .

The first few caves that appeared at the Cave Realm were very important . Most people would get one when they reached this realm, and geniuses might get two . Even very powerful geniuses would only have two . Having three was already a little heaven-defying and demonic .

Only in the legends were there people who would get four, but there probably weren't many people who had seen someone who had achieved this .

Slowly, together with the lightning, Qing Shui's gold cave stabilized . This cave was right behind Qing Shui, unlike how other people's which would be above their left or right shoulder . Qing Shui's cave appeared directly behind him, and it looked very different as well .

Roar roar!

The strength of the Thunderous Beast in the cave suddenly grew in leaps and bounds as it glimmered in violet light, having a striking appearance . The Thunderous Beast was a Divine Beast that controlled lightning, but it hadn't been able to encounter a suitable fortune and thus, didn't get stronger all this time . The Thunderous Beast was a control-type Divine Beast .

Qing Shui had no idea what changes the Thunderous Beast was going through, but it was now a lot stronger than it was before .

The dark clouds and the violet clouds in the sky continued to come down, and the gold cave no longer sucked them in . Therefore, all of them landed on Qing Shui . Despite that Qing Shui's body was very strong, he gritted his teeth and hung on . However, it was as if there was no end to the lightnings in the sky and Qing Shui started to panic .

Ahhh!

Qing Shui couldn't hold it in any further, and once again let out a loud bellow . His hair floated up, the green veins on his body popped up . His muscles, that were tougher than steel, were tensed up tightly . Qing Shui continued to receive the countless lightning bolts that were coming down on him .

Cave

This time around, a cave appeared on Qing Shui's left shoulder . It looked very blurry, but he was certain that this was a cave, a second one .

Gradually, this cave took form and looked like other people's caves . It didn't draw in lightning either . Qing Shui's mouth was filled with blood and a thought struck him . He rapidly took out the Tribulation Evasion Pills and took one .

Instantly, he could feel a mysterious change going through his body . It was as if his body was a conductor . There were no changes to the lightning in the sky, but when they struck his body, 80% of them were conducted out . This made Qing Shui feel a little better .

The second cave took form, and the lightnings in the sky were reduced by half . This made Qing Shui heave a sigh of relief . He sensed that his strength had grown a lot and right now, his body was extremely powerful .

He had achieved a major breakthrough in his realm and had gotten stronger as well . With that, his ability to withstand the lightning in the sky also grew . Moreover, with the Tribulation Evasion Pill that he had taken, it would be much easier for him to brace against the next tribulation .

The third cave also gradually appeared .

Qing Shui glanced at it and heaved another sigh of relief . He was satisfied just for the third cave to appear .

He didn't feel that he was a person of great talent, yet it was true that he had some treasures and it could be counted as part of his talent as well . All in all, he already felt very satisfied to have the third cave appearing, considering Beihuang Fan's first breakthrough also brought her three caves .

Having three caves was already very terrifying . To have three caves appear on the first breakthrough was already the best achievement currently known, maybe with exception of the legendary warriors in the myths . A lot of the current top experts only had two of them back then .

The lightning in the sky reduced gradually, and the faint shape of a fourth cave suddenly appeared behind Qing Shui in the end . It was very faint, and one wouldn't be able to tell if they didn't take a close look . If they did, they would be able to see the faint silhouette of a cave .

Qing Shui was now in a very bad state . He was covered in wounds and in a great deal of pain, but on the contrary, he felt very happy and agitated . He had now reached the Cave Realm, and even the fourth legendary caves had appeared for him, spiking his battle prowess by an extreme amount .  

Having reached the Divine Connection Realm, his attacking prowess had increased by a lot . Right now, the attacking prowess of Qing Shui’s physical body was at 22 billion Dao Force .

Qing Shui's current strength was at 22 billion Dao Force .

He had a defense of 220 billion Dao Force .

The Heavenly Fate Treasure Pagoda would increase 20% of his defense and thus, Qing Shui's defense had reached 264 billion Dao Force .

The Parry Heavenly Fate Treasure Pagoda and the Heavenly Fate Treasure Pagoda would increase his ability to block off attacks by 22 billion Dao Force . It was like Qing Shui now had a defense of about 280 billion Dao Force .

Qing Shui's Divine Weapon Flying Sword could fend off an additional 3 . 2 billion Dao Force, and increase his defense by 3 . 2 billion Dao Force . Qing Shui's current defense had reached about 290 billion Dao Force .  

This made Qing Shui's strength increase in leaps and bounds . It was too much . Most importantly, he had reached the Cave Realm . This realm was very terrifying . Just being able to reach the Divine Connection Realm was very terrifying . Many geniuses had never been able to truly step into the gates of the Heavenly Dao in their entire lives .

Qing Shui was covered in blood now . And then he realized, there were also demonic beasts that had appeared in his other two caves . Right now, Qing Shui had no idea if they were the real demonic beasts or just their spirits . It was the Diamond White Tiger King and the Dragon Slaying Beast .

Qing Shui entered the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal to take a look and realized that the demonic beasts were still there . This meant that the ones in his caves were strands of their spirits or consciousness . He had no idea what the meaning of this was . After all, he was still trying to figure out the Cave Realm .
