Refining the Mountains and Rivers

The second day.

Qin Yu knocked on Number 327’s door and said, “Let’s go, we will move out now.”

“This early?”

“Blue Dragon Mountains is huge, and we can’t fly here. Since we’re walking, we have to make full use of the time we have.”

Number 327 took a quick shower and then the two of them left.

As they passed by the garden where the flowers were in full bloom, Qin Yu took a deep whiff and said, “How fragrant!”

Number 327 smiled in response.

Perhaps because she had let go of whatever was troubling her, she felt much happier and lighter today.

“Sect Master Qin, which direction do you plan to head in?”

Qin Yu said, “You decide.”

“Then, let’s go to Dragon Head Mountain. That is the most beautiful place in the whole Blue Dragon Mountains…” Both of them chatted as they walked far into the distance.

Opposite Blue Dragon Mountains, on the other half of the planet, there was an incomparably huge city.

The strange thing was that there was no one staying in this city.

This was because it was a huge array in itself that was closely related to the Blue Dragon Mountains opposite it.

To put it more bluntly, it could even be described as a key strategic location that allowed that clan to have control of the Blue Dragon Mountains!

That clan’s leader was in the central area of this city right now. In front of him, there were many light curtain displays which showed a live view of everything that was happening in every corner of Blue Dragon Mountains.

With these light curtains, he could know everything there was to know about whatever was happening in Blue Dragon Mountains.

And this was another reason why that clan’s leader readily agreed to Qin Yu’s request to roam freely in the Blue Dragon Mountains.

Even though Qin Yu had already fallen into his trap, if he tried to do anything else, he would not be able to hide it at all.

Now, the clan leader was watching silently as Number 327 was smiling and chatting while she brought Qin Yu around. Subconsciously, the clan leader frowned.

Whoosh –

An illusion appeared in front of him. It was Cave Master.

“It seems like I was right. When a girl has grown up, she will end up being loyal to someone else. What do you plan to do with this brat?”

When he spoke, he licked the corners of his lips.

That clan’s leader said, “When the matter concerning the Demon Lake seal has ended, I will let you do whatever you want, but before that, you’d better not do anything rash.”

Cave Master’s face turned gloomy. “Clan Leader, you and I are just working together. I don’t think you are qualified to give me orders.”

Whoosh –

That clan’s leader abruptly turned his head. “Cave Master, listen carefully – that was not an order, it was a threat! If you dare to ruin my big plans, I will skin you alive and tear your limbs apart!

“You don’t believe me? Don’t forget, even though Demon Moon is terrifying, the ancient people’s archenemy is not in the Central Desolate! And it just so happened that he owes me a favor. It might be difficult to carry out my plans, but it will definitely be quite easy to get him to come out and kill people again!”

Cave Master’s illusion instantly became silent. Then, he said, “Fine. I promise that I will not touch her.”

Whoosh –

He disappeared into thin air.

That clan’s leader snorted coldly, “Idiot!”

The ancient people were extremely powerful in the past and ruled over the whole world. If it were not for their idiocy, they would not be stuck in their current plight.

He was only working with them because he had no other choice. In the future…he would first get rid of these ancient people who should have been extinguished a long time ago!

Above Cloud Sea.

Cave Master opened his eyes and roared loudly, “That clan!”

Boom –

The clouds in the sky rolled ferociously, and then, heavy rain fell, accompanied with bursts of thunder that rumbled loudly throughout the heavens and earth.

A bolt of lightning exploded amongst the clouds, and a huge, black figure could vaguely be seen.

That was the original body of Cave Master!

Its breathing was like frightening thunder, and though it was gritting its teeth, there was fear in its eyes.

It was because that clan’s leader had mentioned that terrifying monster!

He was one of the main culprits that caused the ancient people to fall into such a pathetic state.

Min Changjing!

Back then, the ancient people were fighting a huge battle against the human cultivators. When the situation was tense and fierce, Min Changjing was born.

In his first battle, he chased the ancient people for thousands of miles. He entered the depths of the void and managed to kill an extremely powerful ancient person on the spot.

Ever since that incident, all of the subsequent battles were won by the human cultivators!

In just a short span of a hundred years, over ten of the most powerful ancient people died at Min Changjing’s hands.

Otherwise, as the rulers of the entire world, the ancient people would not have left the playing field so easily.

Demon Moon was truly terrifying. Since her bloodline was mutated, it was even possible for her to defeat the ancient people. However, Min Changjing was the true nightmare of the ancient people.

In those turbulent times when great battles raged on this earth nonstop, the ancient people did think of killing off Min Changjing. In actual fact, they did not just attempt it once, but thrice.

However, without fail, all of these attempts end in failure and they even sustained heavy casualties themselves.

The last time they tried to kill Min Changjing, Cave Master had personally participated in the operation. He would never forget that figure who was laughing crazily while being drenched in blood.

Chills went down Cave Master’s spine and his face became uglier.

He took a deep breath and suppressed the fear in his heart, Min Changjing had been chased out of the Central Desolate and by the will of a few parties. It would not be easy for him to return.

That clan’s leader mentioning him was nothing more than just a way to scare Cave Master.

Cave Master was not going to stand by and do nothing while he was being led by the nose by that clan.

He must get his hands on that Eternal realm remnant body part that was sealed underneath Demon Lake!

With an uneasy expression in his eyes, Cave Master took another deep breath.

In the next moment, that enormous black figure amongst the clouds disappeared in an instant.

The Jade Gate was closed.

The area was still very prosperous. Several young people were walking excitedly on the long streets and they looked all around nonstop. Just by looking at them, it was easy to tell that they were people who had newly entered the Central Desolate through that gate.

“As expected of the Central Desolate Divine Area, the spiritual energy of the world here is so rich!”

“Even the effectiveness of Light Flow Tiles cannot be compared to this!”

“Now that we’ve entered the Central Desolate, if we concentrate on cultivating, we might be able to make some achievements and let our descendants have a firm foothold here!”

On the sides of the streets, there were some vendors that set up their stores in a slipshod manner. After they forked out some immortal money, the military did not chase them away.

Behind one of these stalls, there was a stall owner that looked like an inconspicuous old man. His back was bent and he was wearing a large black robe. “You guys…”

He was about to raise his hand to solicit some customers, but then he suddenly frowned.

“Forget it, it seems that I am not fated with any of you. This deal cannot go through.” The stall owner reached out his arm and grabbed, directly storing his stall.

He got up and left, and limped into a small and deserted alley.

He stepped out, and then, he directly disappeared.

The next moment, he reappeared at the peak of Star Picking Mountain.

“Why are you here?” the black-robed stall owner asked in a low voice.

The Cave Master stood with his hands behind his back and looked at the vast sea of clouds in front of him. Subconsciously, he licked the corner of his lips and said, “I’m hungry, I’m here to borrow some food from you.”

He then grabbed outwards.

Boom –

The sea of clouds instantly exploded. A flying fish was caught in his hand and he devoured it in one bite.

The black-robed man frowned and warned, “Enough!”

Cave Master, who was not yet satisfied, raised his eyebrows, “I’ve only had one, why are you being so petty?”

The stall owner said, “It was very difficult for me to find this piece of Cloud Sea that is suitable for Cloud Sea Flying Fish to live in. Furthermore, you’ve already eaten a month’s worth of my food. If there isn’t anything else, please leave quickly to avoid any trouble.”

If Great Qin found out about this gathering of two True King ancient people, that Qin Emperor would definitely take action personally.

Cave Master said, “I will not eat your fish without paying you. I will give you a piece of news in return.” He said in a low voice, “The Demon Clan’s Demon Lake is hidden in their Ancestral Land. It is not a Heavenly Small World!”

The stall owner said blandly, “So what? The Demon Clan today is no longer a dog that has to obey the Holy Clan’s orders.”

Cave Master said, “I haven’t gotten to the main point yet. There is a seal underneath Demon Lake and it suppresses a remnant body of a being from the Eternal realm!”

The air went silent instantly.

The stall owner pulled off his black robe, revealing the face of an old man. If it were not for the third eye between his two eyebrows, there would be nothing strange about this man.

Now, he glared at Cave Master and asked, “Longevity Species?”

Cave Master replied, “That’s right.”

“Why are you telling me this?”

The internal structure of the ancient people was not set in stone. This was because the term ‘ancient people’ was a general name that was inclusive of all these powerful ancient creatures and beings.

Internally, they were still split into many different clans and races, and even more divisions according to the power they held.

Even though the ancient person who was hiding at the Jade Gate was acquainted with Cave Master, they did not have a close relationship with each other.

In fact, they were fearful and cautious of each other.

This was because it was a common practice amongst ancient people to swallow each other to improve their own powers.

Cave Master said, “I’m telling you this because I need to work together with you to get this remnant body!” The desire burned in his eyes as he added, “Once an Eternal realm being is born in the Holy Clan, we will no longer have to live a life of hiding.

“We can once again become the supreme overlords, and the glory of the Holy Clan will once more shine down upon the entire world!”

Under the black robes, the stall owner asked, “Who else knows about this?”

“That clan’s leader and the Opening Heavens Sword Sect’s Qin Yu!” Cave Master said in a low voice, “Also, Demon Moon has already resurrected and is guarding the Demon Clan Ancestral Land.”

The black-robed stall owner maintained his silence.

Cave Master thought that he was feeling slightly shaken after hearing the news about Demon Moon’s resurrection.

However, in actual fact, the ancient person underneath the black robes was focused on another name – Qin Yu!

He did not forget that he had made a deal with that being on this very mountain peak back then.

Would that being intervene in this matter as well?

This ancient person who reared these Cloud Sea Flying Fish suddenly hesitated. He was thinking about whether he should be a part of this plan.

After all, trying to get the remnant body would most likely involve a gamble and a huge battle between Longevity Species.

Even if he was in the King realm, in such a situation, he would most likely be reduced to ashes if he was not careful.

However, he took a deep breath.

The black robe that he was wearing quietly changed into a woven raincoat. He said, “Let’s go, I will go with you this time.”

Danger was unavoidable in such a valuable opportunity!

It was truly very dangerous when two Longevity Species were going against each other, but there was also a very real chance that he could get a glimpse of the wondrous Eternal realm.

Cave Master laughed loudly and said, “Fisherman, you will definitely not regret this decision you’ve made today!”

Whoosh –

Whoosh –

Both of these True King ancient people disappeared at the same time.
