Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Right at this time, the national advisor’s eyes shone and he waved his sleeve.

Whoosh –

Zhao Yuan was immediately sent away.

He turned around, and in the next moment, the space trembled and that clan’s leader walked out.

“Lord National Advisor, my clan has always been submissive to Great Qin; why are you all being so overbearing?”

The national advisor laughed, “Clan Leader, what do you mean by that? I don’t really understand.”

“Hmph!” That clan’s leader growled, “Why are you saying stuff like that? I just came here to ask whether you are going to be magnanimous.”

The national advisor said, “Clan Leader, please go back.”

His attitude was as clear as day!

The clan leader’s face turned ugly. “National Advisor, do not forget that my clan has two True Kings now. Are you really going to make a commotion out of this?”

“Correct me if I’m wrong, but your clan only has one True King.” The national advisor’s tone was calm as he continued, “Opening Heavens Sword Sect’s Qin Yu has other options, and even if he does not want to change, I am willing to help him.

“A swordsman in the Half-King realm can truly go against a True King, but no matter what, he is not in the King realm…furthermore, he is in trouble now. I’m afraid he does not have the ability to help you currently.”

That clan’s leader’s face changed, as if realizing something. Then, he turned around and left.

Swallow Mountain.

“Qin Yu, you’d better come out right now!”

Bull Dingtian punched outwards.

Buzz –

A huge hole was immediately smashed in the great array at the Opening Heavens Sword Sect’s entrance.

Buzz –

The sound of a sword rang loudly and the glow of the sword slashed out, reaching towards the heavens.

“Old man!”

Qin Yu was extremely furious.

Bull Dingtian scoffed, “Hand over Bull Bean. Otherwise, I will not let you live peacefully even for a day.”

Whoosh –

That clan’s leader directly walked out of a crack in space.

Bull Dingtian frowned before turning to leave.

He disappeared into thin air.

Qin Yu held onto the Mountains and Rivers Sword, his face slightly pale. He said in a cold voice, “Clan Leader, I have to quickly break through to the King realm. Otherwise, both of us will be in trouble.”

That clan’s leader said, “Let’s talk more downstairs.”

Looking at the entrance of the Opening Heavens Sword Sect, which was in complete chaos and had lost all of its former glory, Qin Yu’s face became uglier. He clenched his jaw tightly for a while.

“Bull Dingtian, this bastard!”

He slammed his fist on the table.

That clan’s leader said, “Sect Master Qin, calm down…”

“How am I to calm down?” Qin Yu was still seething. “Unless you are able to stay in Swallow Mountain long term, I can only deal with this on my own.

“For a long time, my Opening Heavens Sword Sect has been treated like a joke. I have no more reputation to speak of!”

That clan’s leader frowned. “Sect Master Qin!” He said more seriously, “I understand what you are going through, but the source of the problem is Bull Bean.”

Firstly, he was trying to remind Qin Yu that the problem started because of him.

Secondly, he was trying to test him.

Qin Yu was resolute and decisive. “Impossible! Bull Bean must not be handed over at all costs. Otherwise, I have no hope of becoming a True King!”

That clan’s leader said, “The Demon Clan journey is obstructed. With Demon Moon guarding it, it will be hard for the both of us to achieve what we want…since this is the case, why don’t we retreat temporarily and deal with this matter as it comes?”

Qin Yu shook his head, “It is precisely because of this that we cannot retreat. Otherwise, once we retreat, both of us are going to meet with a problem.”

He looked down and continued, “Recently, many things have been happening in the Central Desolate and I have heard about them. Do you still not understand? If both of us do not make a breakthrough, what will happen to us is quite predictable!”

That clan’s leader’s expression turned gloomy because what Qin Yu was saying was the truth. He said in a low voice, “Sect Master Qin, what do you plan on doing?”

Qin Yu gritted his teeth and said, “I’m going to force myself to break through to the True King realm!”

That clan’s clan leader abruptly lifted his head to look at him. “Sect Master Qin, are you confident that you can do it?”

Qin Yu replied, “If I manage to do it, I will be eighty percent confident in obtaining the item sealed at Demon Lake. Now, I am only fifty percent confident. Instead of just waiting around and doing nothing, why don’t we put it all on the line and make a gamble? However, this matter would require the full assistance of that clan!

“Furthermore, apart from Bull Bean, Number 327 has to be handed over to me as well. This matter might inflict some sort of damage on her.”

That clan’s leader’s eyes shone a bit.

He suddenly came to a realization as to why Qin Yu had received a blow from Demon Moon to keep Number 327 safe at the Demon Clan Ancestral Land.

It seemed that some things were more deeply connected than he previously thought.

Together with Bull Bean, it was very likely that Number 327 was also the key for Qin Yu to break through to the King realm.

That clan’s leader was silent as the thoughts raced through his mind and as he weighed the pros and cons.

“Clan Leader! As long as I succeed in breaking through, I promise that I will help you open the seal underneath Demon Lake!” Qin Yu exclaimed.

That clan’s leader frowned and asked, “Are you serious about what you just said?”

Qin Yu replied, “When I break through to become a True King, I will be able to fight a True King of a stronger level! Even though Demon Moon is strong, if we work together when that time comes, and also with Cave Master, we won’t have to worry about the Demon Clan at all.

“If you do not believe me, I can make an oath that I will not go back on my word!”

That clan’s leader took a deep breath and agreed, “Okay! Since Sect Master Qin is confident about this, I will help you this once!”

No one could go against an oath that was sworn upon their Great Dao, which was why that clan’s leader had decided to trust Qin Yu.

Furthermore, when Qin Yu made a breakthrough to the True King realm, it would put an end to that clan’s predicament.

A True King swordsman had a higher battle power than a normal cultivator in the True King realm. If he worked together with Qin Yu, even the Great Qin Empire would have to think twice before provoking that clan.

Most importantly, there was that seal underneath Demon Lake – the secret of a Longevity Species, the remnant body of a being in the Eternal realm!

Qin Yu had just been a junior in the Ruler realm. How could he have risen up in a short time? Of course it was because he had obtained a portion of a being’s body who was in the Eternal realm. Otherwise, how would he be able to keep improving by leaps and bounds, or have the confidence to charge towards the True King realm?

However, if the clan leader managed to get the remnant body in the Eternal realm and decipher the secrets within, he believed that he would be able to get more benefits than Qin Yu. He might even be able to remove the bottleneck and enter the Eternal realm!

“Thank you, Clan Leader!”

Qin Yu’s face was filled with delight.

This delight was real.

After toiling for so long and having the entrance of the Opening Heavens Sword Sect hammered by Bull Dingtian so many times, that clan had finally taken the bait.

“There’s no time to lose, let’s move out now.”

That clan’s leader nodded his head and agreed, “Okay.”

He reached out his arm and grabbed, and then Number 327 instantly appeared.

This scene was undoubtedly to remind and warn Qin Yu not to try anything funny.

Qin Yu was calm and did not let anything show on his face. “Clan Leader, please wait.”

Whoosh –

He disappeared.

The next moment, Qin Yu reappeared at Secret Sword Peak Realm.

The monkeys that were surrounding Bull Bean ran away in shock.

She got up and looked over. “Are we moving out now?”

Qin Yu nodded his head. After thinking for a while, he said, “Bean, rest assured. I will make sure you are safe.”

Bull Bean said, “I trust you, otherwise I would not have agreed to this. Let’s go.”

Qin Yu looked uneasy.

Bull Bean raised her eyebrows and seemed to have come to a realization. “Ah, I forgot that I am supposed to be your hostage right now. Should I be unconscious?”

Qin Yu reiterated, “I promise I will protect you!”

Bull Bean grimaced, “You’re a grown man, why are you being so corny? Now I have another reason to dislike you. Quick, do it.”

She closed her eyes.

Qin Yu sucked in a breath of air, before taking a step forward and pressing one finger on the spot between Bull Bean’s eyebrows. Her body softened and she fell into his arms.

He looked down and glanced at this lady, who did not put up a fight at all and allowed him to do whatever he wanted to her, and felt slightly apologetic.

However, very quickly, Qin Yu retracted whatever emotions he was feeling, took a deep breath, and turned to leave.

Whoosh –

With Bull Bean in his arms, he reappeared in front of that clan’s leader.

“Clan Leader, let’s go!”

That clan’s leader nodded his head. With a wave of his sleeve, an invisible energy wrapped around all of them and they disappeared.

When they regained their vision, they had reappeared in a mysterious space. In front of them, there was what seemed to be a starry sky that had been sliced off. There were a dozen stars scattered in it.

And now, they were at the boundary of this starry sky.

That clan’s leader said, “Welcome to my Heavenly World, Sect Master Qin!”

He led them through this starry sky, and even though it did not seem like they were going at a quick pace, they were traveling across an infinite distance with every step they took.

Very quickly, they had already entered the starry sky and they arrived before an incomparably enormous star that seemed to occupy a fifth of this sea of stars that they were in.

There were majestic mountains floating on the surface of this star. Even though they were still standing outside of this star, they could still see these mountains clearly, as if it were a meandering dragon.

Qin Yu mustered everything he could to not reveal whatever he was feeling right now and avoid suspicion. However, at this moment, his heart was racing in his chest.

He had never seen these stars before, nor these mountains. However, they looked strangely familiar to him.

As he looked at this mountain range, Qin Yu seemed to have gotten an illusion that it was alive!

And at any time, it would turn into a true dragon and rush to the skies.

And now, as Qin Yu was looking at it, it seemed to also be looking back at him. It was beginning to stir!

That clan’s leader turned his head to look over. “Sect Master Qin, it seems like your emotions are fluctuating greatly.”

Qin Yu replied with a calm expression on his face, “Being able to split a sea of stars and pull it into your Heavenly World…that clan is more powerful than I thought. I am truly in awe.”

That clan’s leader nodded his head. “This Heavenly World is a creation of the heavens and earth. It is pure coincidence that our clan was able to get this; it was not refined by us after all.”

He sighed ruefully and continued, “After all, only people in the Eternal realm would be able to do something like steal from the heavens and earth or split a sea of stars.”

Qin Yu said, “As long as everything goes smoothly, you will be able to get the Longevity Species’ remnant body. Perhaps, you will be able to get a glimpse of what it is like to be in the Eternal realm.”

“I hope that’s the case.” That clan’s leader reached out to point ahead. “This mountain range is known as the Blue Dragon Mountains. It is created by the accumulation of our clan’s fortune…perhaps Sect Master Qin can understand it as the embodiment of heaven and earth fate in this Heavenly World.

“If you go into the Blue Dragon Mountains to cultivate, you will get the protection of heaven and earth fate. Hopefully, this will help Sect Master Qin successfully break through to the True King Realm.”

Qin Yu asked, “That’s all?”

That clan’s leader replied, “Of course not. I will also pass to you a skill to gain control of heaven and earth fate. It is my clan’s secret, and if you use it, you will be better able to make use of heaven and earth fate to aid you in cultivation.”

Qin Yu nodded, “Thank you, Clan Leader. I probably need a month to make the necessary preparations before trying to make a breakthrough. Before I do anything, however, I will need Bull Bean and Number 327 to be by my side.”

That clan’s leader replied, “No problem. Sect Master Qin, if you need anything else, just let me know.”

Whoosh –

Whoosh –

On the ground, a few figures surged to the sky and headed towards them.

“Greetings, Clan Leader.”

One of them was the elder that Qin Yu met back then at the governor’s mansion in Long Mountain Area.

That clan’s leader nodded his head, “I’ve already agreed to use my clan’s luck to help Sect Master Qin break through to become a True King. In this period of time, Sect Master Qin will be staying in Blue Dragon Mountains to cultivate.”

The few elders subconsciously frowned and they looked like they were being put in a difficult spot.

“Clan Leader, shouldn’t we make a few more considerations before going ahead with this?”

That clan’s leader replied fiercely, “I’ve already made a decision, the lot of you do not need to say any more!”

The elders lowered their heads and obeyed his orders.

“Sect Master Qin, let me personally lead you down. Blue Dragon Mountains is a place that involves many of our secrets, so while cultivating, you are not allowed to walk around without permission to avoid any misunderstandings from happening.”

Qin Yu nodded and said, “Okay.”
