Gula De Qianghua Jishu
chapter 29: The Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal
By the time his consciousness faded, the Yin-Yang Pendant came into contact with Qing Shui's blood, after which, the pendant was completely dark purple! The Yin-Yang Pendant began to emit waves of soft purple light, slowly enveloping Qing Shui, as if he was a baby lying in his mother's arms. From what could be seen with the naked eye, the pendant seemed to be constantly drinking Qing Shui's blood as the purple light wave grew stronger.
Back then, it felt during eternity yet as short as one second. At the same time, instead of her blurred consciousness, Qing Shui actually felt very clear, little could he imagine what incredible sight would await him once he opened his eyes.
He clearly remembered that he had been in a very dangerous situation just a moment before, he was just about to die with a heart filled with grievances and unwillingness born from the desire to protect Qing Yi. But what exactly happened? The first thing Qing Shui realized when he woke up was that this was no longer the mountainous area he had visited just a moment ago, it seemed to have somehow shifted. The landscape in which he currently resides can be considered relatively narrow. The landscape had a circumference of about 100m, with just a single glance, Qing Shui had a panoramic view of the entire region.
“What am I doing here? Is this where all humans come after they die?” Qing Shui stood up as he scanned his surroundings. He did an examination of his own body as he suddenly exclaimed in shock!
“My injuries are completely healed !?” Qing Shui said in a daze, looking at the bloody and ragged clothes he was wearing, and the leg-length wounds on his chest, he was sure that the fight with the White-Headed Inky Jade Condor was not a hallucination! But ... The last thing he remembers is dying, yet he is not dead!
“Hmm, where is this place, what am I doing here?” Qing Shui looked around again.
“Ah, no water!” Qing Shui's lips were already chapped, his throat was dry like dust and swollen from an overwhelming thirst.
In the middle of this otherworldly landscape there was actually a small puddle!
Unaware of any danger, Qing Shui ran over and drank the contents. Only after he was satisfied did he realize that the water he had just drank was delicious. Not only did it quench his thirst and hunger, even his body seemed to be filled with an infinite source of mysterious energy.
Only at this moment, after his thirst was satisfied, Qing Shui saw clearly for the first time in this pool of water. The pond had a circumference and a depth of about 10m, the water within it seemed to glitter with a crystal sparkle and looked so pure and pure, without any pollutants.
“Ai!” Qing Shui felt that this was a day filled with strange occurrences. Since he was now conscious, he also found a strange-looking tree, as well as a stone monument on the side of the pond. This stone monument has a height similar to a male adult human and has a giant tree circumference.
The stone monument exuded a majestic aura, as if the emperor who held absolute authority in this otherworldly place, dictated the rules to his people. As Qing Shui walked in front of him, he saw that there was actually an inscription on the stone monument! [Nature Violet Jade Immortal].So this place is the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal.
At the top of the stone monument, the words [Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal] were written with thick strokes in calligraphic style. Those words were extremely eye-catching and exuded a mysterious aura that caught Qing Shui's attention.
Directing his gaze down, Qing Shui found more inscriptions.
[The immortal Violet jade realm only allowed entry to the ruler of this realm. Other than the ruler, no other humans were allowed here, unless they were already dead]
As Qing Shui read the words .. “just allow entry to the ruler .. could it be that I am sovereign?” Qing Shui grasped the straw in the darkness, he had absolutely no idea what was going on. Therefore, he decided to continue reading the other inscriptions on the stone monument for now.
[Time flows at a speed of 100:1 in the immortal Violet jade realm compared to the outside world]
After reading this made Qing Shui jump in excitement! Spending 100 days in this world was equivalent to one day outside!
After that there were not many inscriptions left, just a few more words at the bottom of the stone monument.
[After the first layer of the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal had been opened, a strong-looking tree would appear within it. This tree takes 100 years to mature, and every 100 years will produce 10 fruits. The name of the fruit produced by this tree is known as the Energy Enhancing Fruit. If ingested by normal humans, this could increase their strength level by 500 jin. Alchemists could use this fruit for pill concoctions as well. Note: the effects of Energy Enhancing Fruit can only accumulate 2 times, consuming more is useless.]
And the rest of the inscription at the bottom of the monument is as follows:
Effect of:
[Opening the 3rd Layer of the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal], all the way to [Opening the 9th Layer of the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal]
After Qing Shui finished reading the stone monument, he glanced at the sturdy and strong-looking tree beside him. Could this be the Energy Enhancer Tree that he had read about in the inscription on the stone monument? The tree was roughly about 2m tall, with branches as thick as steel pillars from the previous world. Although the branches of the Energy Enhancing Tree were very short in length, only about 1 foot long, they still looked strong and sturdy.
Qing Shui peered upwards, and saw 10 gleaming blood red fruits hanging from the branches of the Energy Enhancement Tree, emitting an extremely alluring smell that made him salivate. Now, Qing Shui already had a rough idea that the existence of this spatial realm meant for his cultivation in the future. A grin appeared on Qing Shui's face as he thought about the possibility of the future. “In this realm, normal limits no longer apply to me! There is nothing I cannot achieve. I can't believe I still won't be able to break through the 4th layer of the Ancient Strengthening Technique!”
“Huh, it's a pity that this world can only be used by one person, if not Qing Hu and Qing Bei who can enjoy the benefits here as well. Well, it's okay like that as well, I can't let anyone know about this secret. Humans were already willing to commit murder for a much lower advantage than this. I can't invite disaster upon myself.” Qing Shui decided.
Qing Shui had no idea how much time had passed, he had already thoroughly explored the landscape of the Violet Jade Eternal Realm. The spatial realm was roughly 1 hectare in size. Looking at the loose purple soil under the soles of his feet, he felt that this space was great for planting crops.”
After exploring the spatial realm, Qing Shui realized that there was no way out! How could he return to the outside world?
Just as he was thinking of going out, he realized that he had already returned to the mountainous area where he was before! It seemed that the Eternal Realm Violet Jade was already aligned with her wishes.
“Entertaining!”
“Out!”
“Entertaining!”
“Out!”
With the slightest intention of his will, he could enter and exit the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal. Qing Shui happily experimented with it, like a child playing with his favorite toys.
After which, Qing Shui secretly pondered for a long time, “How did this Realm of the Eternal Violet Jade suddenly appear? And why did he pick me?” Despite his intelligence, he still had no conclusions and thus decided to temporarily ignore the mystery. After all, it was not something that was detrimental to him.
After which, Qing Shui checked his clothes. Laughing bitterly as she looked at the tattered clothes on her body, Qing Shui took out a new set of clothes from his backpack and started to change clothes. It was at this moment that he realized that the Yin-Yang Pendant he always wore around his neck had disappeared!
Qing Shui frantically conducted a search around and even entered the spatial realm again, but he was unable to find any clues relating to the disappearance of the Yin-Yang Pendant! “Could the loss of the Yin-Yang Pendant be related to the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal?”
Right now, if only Qing Shui could see his own shadow, he would stop the search for the pendant. Because, located right in the middle of Qing Shui's brows, was a speck of purple-colored pearl the size of a bean. The pearl was shaped exactly like a Yin-Yang Pendant! Somehow subconsciously joined Qing Shui after he fainted.
A speck of fate-set purple pearls, nestled between his eyebrows was akin to an artist adding a vital finishing touch to a masterpiece, adding a hint of otherworldly magnetism to Qing Shui's already charming eyes. Previously, Qing Shui could already be considered handsome, but now with a hint of magnetism, the aura he was emitting could only be said to be extraordinary.
Since the pendant was gone, the chain of the pendant also did not need to be kept. Qing Shui threw away the chain as he changed into new clothes, and only after that, the disappearance of the White-Headed Inkbed Jade Condor happened to him. Qing Shui tilted his head, looking around. He finally saw the corpse of the White-Headed Inky Jade Condor somewhere far away in the distance.
“It died?” Qing Shui walked over, and after a short examination, realized that the cause of his death was the 2 stones he threw before! 2 Boulders had hit their target and lodged in the eyes of the white-headed condor. “How scary, does his pride really matter? Despite being injured, he still wanted to perish with me. ” “The impact from before while trying to crush me to death must have caused the stone lodged in his eyes to pierce his brain. What a tragic death!”
“After all, it looks like I'm going to bake the White-headed Jade Condor for dinner tonight.” (TL: xD xD yummy~)
