Refining the Mountains and Rivers

He had broken through.

Of course, he was not yet a True King. After crossing the Celestial Gate, his Great Dao had finally reached the Half-King realm.

But being a Half-King still meant that he was protected by his Great Dao, and this could temporarily suppress the demonic thoughts from attacking his soul.

The endless roars and growls of the demonic illusions behind him rapidly disappeared.

But not all of it was gone.

Just like the faint red pupils in his eyes, some remnants of the Demonic Possession stayed in his body.

“White Feifei, take a look at me and tell me how my condition is now.”

He waited for a while, but there was no response.

Qin Yu frowned and looked over, then he realized that White Feifei was now in a dazed state.

“White Feifei!”

“Ah…did you say something?” She finally regained her composure.

Clearly, something was wrong with this woman.

White Feifei’s lips twitched a bit and she thought to herself, ‘Don’t you know what is wrong with your own body?’

She looked at Qin Yu and hesitated for a while before saying, “My Lord, the heavenly punishment arrived just now, but there was someone who came to help you dispel it.”

“Who?”

“I did not get to see how she looked, I only heard her voice. Then, the heavenly punishment was gone.” White Feifei could swear that she felt dizzy even while she was saying these words.

Heavenly punishment. That was heavenly punishment!

In this world, no one else would know better than her just how terrifying heavenly punishment was. It contained a power that no one could resist against. Even a Longevity Species would be directly shattered and suppressed!

Qin Yu pondered for a while before asking, “Was it a woman?”

White Feifei nodded her head vigorously.

Qin Yu took a long exhale. The identity of that woman was pretty much confirmed.

It would not be Rourou because White Feifei would have recognized her. It was also not the little blue lamp, because firstly, it had thoroughly gone into hiding, and secondly, there was no point in it acting like a woman.

The Ruler!

Last time, Qin Yu could tell that the Ruler was an extraordinary person based on Rourou’s attitude.

Now, it seemed that his judgment was proven right.

Could heavenly punishment that was powerful enough to take down Longevity Species be dispelled by someone in the Ruler realm alone? No way! It would be equivalent to an ant trying to shake the earth!

Yet, evidently, the Ruler had managed to do it.

Apart from that, there was also White Feifei’s reaction. She seemed extremely shocked.

She did not see the Ruler, but only heard her voice…just this alone was enough to show how powerful the Ruler was.

With just one flick of her finger, the heavenly punishment was shattered!

Therefore there must be a huge difference between this Ruler and the Ruler cultivation realm.

Though both had the same name, but they were evidently two different things.

Exactly what kind of person was she?

Qin Yu found that he was being surrounded by too many riddles.

For example, there was the little blue lamp. Qin Yu had fought for his life to get him, but now that he thought back on it, he realized that he had gotten a little too lucky.

After all, the little blue lamp was a Blazing Sun Fragment. The fact that Qin Yu got him so easily felt as if someone had arranged for this to happen.

There was also Rourou, the mysterious being from space time. She was a Longevity Species, a peak existence. Why did she treat him differently? Sure, perhaps he was handsome, but that was definitely not the answer.

And now, there was the Ruler. Why was she helping Qin Yu? He could already confirm that she was an extremely powerful person!

When he thought again about the process of obtaining heaven and earth fate, he remembered how Blue Dragon’s soul told him that it had been waiting for his appearance.

All of these happenings must have their reasons!

Qin Yu raised his hand and rubbed his temples. Then, he exhaled. “I got it.”

White Feifei looked at Qin Yu, who seemed as if he had a lot on his mind, and after pondering for a while, she said, “My Lord, I don’t know if that person is…”

Qin Yu looked at her and said, “I don’t know either.”

He was telling the truth.

He still did not know the first thing about the Ruler.

However, from White Feifei’s perspective, Qin Yu’s reply was totally insincere. His answer was so patronizing, and he even gave it so explicitly!

How could you not know? If you do not know, then why would she come out to help you? Do you really think that there would be someone so kind in this world? Hmph, no matter how powerful people are, it’s not like they just sit around and do nothing all day!

Despite her anger, she did not dare to express it. Qin Yu was hiding too many secrets, and who knew what other trump cards he held?

He could not be provoked!

“Cough…My Lord, you are truly blessed by the heavens. Everywhere you go, there are people protecting you. In the future, you will surely become the Blazing Sun.”

Time to put her bootlicking skills to use!

Because, at the very least, White Feifei was extremely sure that she was going to hold onto Qin Yu as a lifeline. He did not seem very reliable now, but he would be in the future.

Whether or not her future was going to be easy would depend on him!

Qin Yu could guess what she was thinking and said, “Alright, let’s not talk about all this. Please take a close look at my body and tell me how my condition is right now.”

“Okay.”

White Feifei looked at Qin Yu seriously and expressed her admiration, “My Lord, you are truly talented. You are in the Half-King realm, but you managed to suppress the onslaught of demonic thoughts. There will not be any problems in the short run.

“However, the demonic thoughts have yet to disappear. You have not managed to completely refine them, so you still need to be careful in order to prevent them from coming back.”

Qin Yu nodded his head.

Right at this moment, his heart suddenly shrank and he was suddenly on high alert.

Something had happened.

He did not know what exactly it was, but undeniably, it concerned himself.

At the same time.

Great Qin Empire.

Capital city, Xianyang!

In the palace, the national advisor’s face looked shaken.

Just now, he told His Majesty about his worries and pleaded for His Majesty to personally take action to kill the Opening Heavens Sword Sect’s Qin Yu.

Even though the national advisor raised this concern himself, he did not think that His Majesty’s reaction would be so strong.

The Qin Emperor got up and slowly opened his mouth.

Boom –

Terrifying aura instantly rushed to the skies and in the blink of an eye, the skies above Xianyang changed.

Countless cultivators widened their eyes and looked at the palace.

“What happened?”

“The emperor is angry! The emperor is angry!”

“His Majesty is going to do something!”

Amongst all these shocked cries, everyone’s faces were filled with fear.

No one knew what exactly happened that managed to trigger His Majesty’s murderous intent.

But unquestionably, it must have been something big!

“Your Majesty…” The national advisor suddenly looked bewildered, as if he suddenly thought of something and asked, “It’s him?”

The Qin Emperor nodded his head, “National Advisor is right. My premonition has come true today.”

He lifted one leg and stepped outwards.

Boom –

The whole palace trembled, and Emperor Qin had already left.

In the next moment, there was a crack in space and Emperor Qin walked out of it. Below him, there was only a boundless sea that was as black as ink.

The national advisor appeared beside him.

“Your Majesty, Qin Yu is powerful and has strange methods. Even heavenly punishment was not able to harm him at all.”

The Qin Emperor was expressionless as he said, “But if I take action, he will definitely die at my hands.”

He waved his sleeve and the sea started to surge and roll violently, as if there were strong winds blowing. The sea started to split as thunder rumbled in the skies, such that the bottom of the sea could now be seen.

Qin Yu raised his head and his heart sank.

Great Qin’s national advisor!

The person standing beside him had an even higher status and his cultivation was so strong that it was imperceptible.

His identity could easily be guessed – the owner of the Great Qin Empire, Emperor Qin!

It was his first time seeing the Great Qin Emperor, but he could sense the other party’s strong murderous intent!

He had found the reason for why his heart had suddenly shrunk just now.

But why?

Even though Qin Yu did not have a friendly relationship with the Great Qin Empire, it was not to the point where it warranted Emperor Qin taking action personally.

A strong sense of danger started to invade his mind!

White Feifei said in a low voice, “My Lord, be careful. The Qin Emperor is the strongest existence in the Central Desolate. He is strong enough to go against a Longevity Species!”

To put it in simpler terms, she was trying to tell him that he was no match for Emperor Qin, and that he should quickly use his trump cards. As long as that person came out and helped him again, even Emperor Qin was not going to be a threat.

However, the problem was that Qin Yu did not feel any more fluctuations in auras.

That also meant that the Ruler was not going to interfere in this.

So he had to go through this alone?

Even though he was in the Half-King realm now and his powers had strengthened a lot, Emperor Qin was still too strong for him to go against.

Qin Yu had no confidence at all!

Boom –

There was a deafening boom and an invisible power descended. It was as if the skies were collapsing, destroying everything on the ground.

Qin Yu raised his hand and clenched his fist. The sound of a sword rang out, and the Mountains and Rivers Sword appeared in his hands.

It was almost as if it had appeared out of its own will after sensing that Qin Yu was in danger.

He raised his hand and slashed outwards!

Terrifying sword aura rushed to the sky, colliding against the invisible energy that was descending.

Boom –

The sea that was underneath Qin Yu instantly exploded, creating a deep crater.

He stood at the bottom of the crater, where cracks appeared. These cracks slowly extended outwards in all directions.

“Cough, cough…” Qin Yu coughed violently and fresh blood flowed from his nose and mouth.

The Qin Emperor was terrifying!

Just like White Feifei told him, he was the strongest in this world, with no exception.

The national advisor felt shocked internally. Qin Yu was stronger than he expected. He actually managed to receive a strong blow from His Majesty.

However, no matter how strong he was, he was still going to die!

Now that His Majesty had made his move against Qin Yu today, he was definitely not going to give Qin Yu a chance to turn over.

Expressionless, Emperor Qin raised his hand and pressed downwards.

Rumble –

The whole Black Sea started to surge violently. Every drop of seawater exploded, utterly destroyed by a terrifying power.

Then, with every explosion, a more terrifying destructive power was released.

Sweeping in all directions, it enveloped Qin Yu almost instantly.

Buzz –

The sound of a sword rang out and a boundless sword aura erupted, forming a small world that protected Qin Yu.

But now, this small world made from sword aura was swiftly twisting and turning from the destructive power colliding against it!

Strands of sword aura shattered, dissipated and disappeared.

The release of sword aura by the Mountains and Rivers Sword was not enough to match up to the speed at which it was being destroyed.

It was unable to resist the attack!

White Feifei screamed, “My Lord, we’ve tried our best. Quickly get that person to help you, otherwise, it will be too late.”

Qin Yu gritted his teeth, “She is not going to help us!”

White Feifei looked dazed.

She did not ask why, because Qin Yu definitely would not crack a joke at such a life-or-death juncture.

Could it be because that person had already chosen to help once just now?

Whatever the truth was, White Feifei was not in the mood to ponder over it anymore.

“My Lord, let’s put up with this for a while more. Do not use the Blazing Sun Fragments yet!”

That was the last and final resort.

Once they were used, even if Qin Yu could continue to live, it would still be a death sentence.

Qin Yu groaned and spat out blood, thinking to himself, ‘This woman really loves to spout nonsense. If I was not trying my best to put up with this, would I be spitting out blood right now?’

However, if this continued, he was not going to hold out for much longer. He did not see any hope of this turning around either.

Today, the Great Qin Emperor had descended and was trying to kill Qin Yu personally.

Who would dare to intervene?
