Refining the Mountains and Rivers

On this day, the nine White Jade Capitals were gathered together. They were arranged in a circle, surrounding the nine Dao Masters. It was practically an indestructible fortress that would not budge even if the sky fell, and it sheltered the nine Dao Masters from any external forces.

Even the terrifying Forsaken Clan, who fed on World Origin as food, would have to try really hard in order to break through the joint blockade of the nine White Jade Capitals. As long as the nine Dao Masters successfully integrated World Origin into their bodies, all of the troubles they faced today would naturally just disappear.

“Wait,” First Dao Master said, “Before we integrate the World Origin into our bodies, there is something I must do.”

He looked at Qin Yu.

Woosh –

Qin Yu raised his head and made eye contact with First Dao Master. He asked, “First Dao Master, are you about to destroy the bridge after crossing the river?”

“Hmph! Luo Guan, don’t think that all of us are unaware that you have other motives behind what you have done for us. All of today’s troubles were probably instigated by you! However, power is still the most important thing. Conspiring and coming up with tricks are merely embarrassing and petty methods.” First Dao Master added expressionlessly, “As long as we kill you, everything you’ve done will be meaningless and it will have been for nothing!”

Apart from this, there was something else that First Dao Master did not mention…Seventh and Ninth Dao Masters had made their own promises with Luo Guan. First Dao Master was not clear on what these promises entailed and he was not interested to know either. The reason was simple – if he killed Qin Yu, all of these promises would not mean anything! It was precisely because of this that the other Dao Masters did not care about what kind of deal Seventh and Ninth Dao Masters had made with Qin Yu.

Boom –

As he finished speaking, First Dao Master attacked. He punched outwards, aiming at Qin Yu. The power of a Dao Master instantly erupted, and even though he did not unleash his full strength, it could still kill someone in the True King realm in just a second. However, First Dao Master’s punch landed on nothing!

Qin Yu’s figure instantly vanished and condensed nearby. His expression was calm as he said, “I guess this is White Jade Capital going back on the contract.” This was actually a very important point. Since someone else was breaking the contract first, Qin Yu did not need to pay the price for what he was going to do next.

“Incense Great Dao!” First Dao Master frowned and his gaze became even colder, “Luo Guan, you’ve already broken through!”

Qin Yu replied, “I only have you guys to thank. Whilst White Jade Capital was supporting the recovery of the Ninerealms, it helped me to accumulate enough incense power to ignite my Incense Great Dao.”

“Hmph!” Second Dao Master scoffed, “Luo Guan, don’t get too arrogant. So what if you’ve ignited your Incense Great Dao? Today, we will still kill you!” Cultivators who walked on Incense Great Dao Path were strong, but they were still only on the same level as Dao Masters. With the nine of them working together, it was not going to be difficult to kill Luo Guan, who was alone.

Boom –

The nine Dao Masters released their majestic aura at the same time, sealing Qin Yu in place firmly. Terrifying power fluctuated violently, about to descend at any moment to destroy Qin Yu.

Under normal circumstances, if Qin Yu was alone, he would truly be helpless to resist against the nine Dao Masters working together to kill him. However, he had a lot of time to prepare for this outcome today. If he was going to be killed off so easily, then all his efforts would have been in vain.

Qin Yu raised his hand, snapped his fingers, and said, “You want to kill me? It won’t be that easy.”

Boom –

The nine World Origins and the nine White Jade Capitals intertwined with each other in an instant and their auras started to connect. However, what was different was that instead of the White Jade Capitals swallowing and refining the World Origins, it was the World Origins that were madly plundering the nine White Jade Capitals’ power.

The total opposite of what was supposed to happen!

Like a huge mouth that bit onto the nine White Jade Capitals, instantly, the nine Dao Masters felt a searing pain. Their eyes widened in shock and horror.

Like First Dao Master said previously, actually they already knew that there was something off about Qin Yu. Previously, they only acted like they did not know anything, but they did not expect that his appetite would be so big!

The nine Dao Masters wanted to refine one World Origin each in order to reach enlightenment and break through to the World realm. But Qin Yu…he was actually trying to use the World Origins to swallow all nine White Jade Capitals!

It was unthinkable and unbelievable that he would do something like this.

But what made the nine Dao Masters even more furious and annoyed was that such a plan that should have failed was actually starting to succeed. Now, the nine World Origins were really sucking the White Jade Capitals’ power!

How did Luo Guan do this?

“Kill him!” First Dao Master roared.

At the same time, he immediately tried to cut off the connection between a World Origin and the first White Jade Capital.

And in actual fact, when the other Dao Masters heard what First Dao Master said, instead of trying to kill Qin Yu, all of them tried to do what he just did as well.

As expected, however, all of them failed!

Expressionless, Qin Yu said, “Dao Masters, I think you’ve forgotten about the contract you signed with me earlier. Since the contract has already been fulfilled, we are now even more involved with each other. With this involvement, you will not be able to cut off the connection between the World Origins and your White Jade Capitals.”

A light flashed past his eyes and he continued blandly, “Do you find this unbelievable? After all, all of you were very careful when signing the contract with me. However, Seventh and Ninth Dao Masters signed a separate contract with me beforehand. Afterwards, the contract that I signed with all nine of you was drafted by Seventh and Ninth Dao Masters…does this make things clearer for all of you?”

Seventh and Ninth Dao Masters’ faces darkened.

“You’re trying to buy time for yourself,” First Dao Master suddenly said with an ice-cold expression in his eyes, “Luo Guan, I will not give you the chance to do so. Dao Masters…since the situation has gotten to this point, let’s put down all of our personal vendettas. Work together with me to suppress and kill Luo Guan!”

Qin Yu felt slightly helpless inside and he thought to himself, ‘These old farts are truly not easy to fool.’ Thankfully, he never expected to be able to buy time just by saying a few words to them.

Just like First Dao Master said, in the end, whether someone could survive was all dependent on one’s strength.

Boom –

A Great Dao illusion appeared behind Qin Yu. On its surface, the Incense Flame was burning strongly. Powerful aura was being released from it and the space started to vibrate. His whole body was like a shadow, quickly fading away.

“Catch him!” Ninth Dao Master yelled. However, White Jade Capital’s defense was only against the outside world. Wanting to escape from within was not that difficult.

Whoosh –

Qin Yu vanished.

“Catch him and kill him!” First Dao Master raised his hand and said. “I swear upon my Great Dao that I will cease all of the internal conflicts in White Jade Capital from now on. Whoever dares to have any other thoughts, I will kill him no matter the cost!”

First Dao Master was pretty much declaring himself as the leader of all Dao Masters.

It was not because he was named the First Dao Master that he took the lead. More importantly, when it came to strength, First Dao Master was the strongest of all of them.

Since he swore upon his Great Dao, no one doubted the weight of his words and his determination.

Ninth Dao Master stepped outwards and said, “I’m going to go and kill him.”

“Me too,” Seventh Dao Master said expressionlessly.

The two of them instantly disappeared.

White Jade Capital monitored the entire world. As long as they wanted to find somebody, no one could hide from them forever. Furthermore, Qin Yu was the first person in the human cultivation system to release the aura of someone who had ignited his Incense Great Dao.

There was no one else other than him!

It would not be difficult for Seventh and Ninth Dao Master to lock onto Qin Yu’s location.

“Seventh and Ninth Dao Master may not be able to kill Luo Guan by themselves. All of you should go with them.” First Dao Master said, “I shall defend this place on my own!”

After some hesitation, the other Dao Masters finally nodded their heads and said, “Okay.”
