Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Qin Yu's complexion instantly clouded over, "What's the problem?"

Old Turtle's voice shook as he said, "This is the vast brightness world. Master, you were born here so even if you use the strength of the abyss, you will still be acknowledged by the source of the world. But I cannot…you know what my origins are. Every time I do something in the vast brightness world, I will incur astonishing losses, and I also need to resist the suppression from the world's source itself…"

Qin Yu finally understood.

He felt his teeth ache. So he himself was the cause of the problem. Although Old Turtle didn't speak clearly, he knew that every time Old Turtle did something it was because he had ordered him to.

"Release your consciousness."

Qin Yu closed his eyes and his mind arrived at Old Turtle within his body. Sure enough, he was extremely empty, with nothing more than a shell left remaining.

It was all true!

Qin Yu opened his eyes. "Why didn't you say something earlier? If I knew, I wouldn't have let you suffer so many losses until now."

Old Turtle almost cried out loud. You are my master, my life and all my property can be decided by a single thought from you, so why wouldn't I dare to listen?

Moreover, everything had been going smoothly to begin with, and the spirit body was so close at hand. As long as he could grab it and eat it, his strength would be fully restored and more.

Who knew that a group of Saints suddenly would rush out from nowhere, taking the piece of duck that was right near his lips!

Qin Yu fell silent.

Old Turtle cried even more, "Master please save me, you must save me. I am loyal and devoted to you; I will be useful if you keep me by your side!"

As someone who stood at the peak when it came to fearing death, one could clearly feel Old Turtle's fear and his collapsing mind.

Qin Yu was annoyed by his crying, but he had no choice but to consider the feasibility of capturing the spirit body as well as the inevitable aftermath that subsequently would occur.

Being chased down by Saints…just thinking of that caused him to feel chills all over. But at the same time, he couldn't watch on and do nothing as Old Turtle faded away into nothingness.

He had previously spent a great deal of strength and energy, rushing into the Cold Sea without hesitation and braving almost certain death to bring Old Turtle back to the vast brightness world from the abyss.

If he were to abandon him like this, let alone how crazy the little blue lamp would become, Qin Yu could not agree to it.

Then…he could only take the risk!

The only opportunity given to Qin Yu was that the Saints themselves hadn't arrived yet. If he were to do things in a hidden way, there might be the possibility of success.

As long as he could seize the spirit body and feed it to Old Turtle, no matter what transcendent methods the Saints had, they could give up any idea of finding it again.

Qin Yu was confident in this.

In other words, the difficulty all remained in the process of seizing the spirit body…if it was just Qin Yu alone dealing with the spirit body in the realm within a realm, then the chances of success would be nearly zero.

But luckily, in the burning courtyard, there were six 'genius cultivators' prepared to go all out and give the spirit body a ruthless strike. If they really could succeed in killing the spirit body, Qin Yu wouldn't mind being a corpse picker.

There were definitely risks. But as long as he could seize the right moment and he had a bit of luck, there would still be a chance.

Of course, Qin Yu also had a card in his hand that the others didn't know about…his eyes sparkled as he looked at Yun Shi's dried corpse.

…

I am called Old Turtle…

Bah, I won't call myself that!

But that isn't the key point here. The key point is that I am extremely panicked right now.

Since the moment I was born, this is the second time in my entire life that I have reached the point of life and death.

I cannot die, I absolutely cannot die!

Right now, the only one who can save me is Qin Yu. That boy's luck has always been good, so he definitely won't experience problems this time.

As long as he can save me, I guarantee that I will wholeheartedly call him master in the future without holding back.

For instance, things like the unity of light and darkness, the source of the world - I know many things, just give me time and I'll tell you about it all!

Why don't I tell him now?

How silly. If Qin Yu thinks I'm not reliable and just pushes the boat along and lets go, won't he just be playing himself to death?

I am not called Old Turtle. I am panicked and I want to live.

…

Old Turtle wasn't the only one that wanted to live.

Bang -

The small dusky skies above the courtyard suddenly tore to pieces. Countless cracks spread out, reaching every corner.

Then, golden writings shot up into the skies. They shuttled back and forth through the spatial cracks, as if searching for something.

Suddenly, the yellow paper began to burn on its own. The golden words released a dazzling light and roared into one of the cracks.

With the sounds of ringing swords and whistling spears, a sky-shaking sword and blood-colored spear ripped open a crack in space, forming a channel.

Endless rumbling roars came from the depths of the channel. The hidden barriers within were ruthlessly pierced through.

The paper bird fluttered and flew up. At this time, everyone could hear its resonant cries.

A vast and powerful strength erupted from the paper bird. It started to burn like the yellow paper. Then, a massive flaming bird emerged from thin air.

Its body was wreathed in nine-colored feathers. Wrapped in flames, color flowed across its body. It released an honored and formidable aura that swept through the world.

The nine-colored firebird flew into the opened channel with a cry. Then, shocked roars of anger spread out, filled with pain.

Zhou Lei was the last to make a move. The black thunder that filled his body gathered in the palm of his hand, turning into a ring.

It was the size of a child's palm and it was black like ink and shined like jade. The ring roared out with a flick of his arm, following the aura of the nine-colored firebird.

After several breaths of time, as roars of despair rang out, the channel loudly collapsed. The six 'genius cultivators' all spat out mouthfuls of blood, as their connection to the Saintly objects was severed.

The burning courtyard started to extinguish and the dark nothingness retreated. The six people revealed looks of joy even as they continued to vomit blood.

They had succeeded!

By gathering the strength of the six Half-Saints, they had locked onto the location of the spirit body, forcibly opening up a channel and striking it down in its den.

Although what came next was an inevitable competition for the spirit body…at the very least, there was a high chance they could leave this place alive.

When the flames vanished and the darkness dispersed, loud cracking sounds resounded in everyone's ears. It was like a mirror shattering into countless pieces after withstanding a tremendous blow.

"This is bad! This realm within a realm is breaking!"

"The spirit body connected itself to the realm within a realm. Now that it's died, the mystic realm it propped up will collapse!"

"How hateful! There isn't even time to look for its bones!"

The six people that were happy a moment ago were now startled and angered. In the next moment, the shattering impact of the realm within a realm instantly submerged them.

…

Outside the Profound Vision World, the eyes gathered here all revealed a dignified look.

The mystic realm had broken!

The aura of the spirit body had completely vanished from their senses.

In other words, it had been slain, and the entire mystic realm fell into destruction with it.

From the angle of capturing the spirit body, this was the worst possible result. The spirit body would be shattered by the mystic realm and swept away by the turbulent spatial flow that followed. Whether or not they found anything would all depend on luck.

Even Saints wouldn't be able to do much. They could only approximate the direction of the spatial flow and chase after it, slowly investigating as they went.

But right now, while the Saints outside the Profound Vision World recorded the direction of the spatial flow, none of them chased after it.

Because this time in the Endless Sea, they had made an even more important discovery.

Space Laws!

Just how formidable were a Saint's thoughts? Even if they weren't personally present in the Profound Vision World, their senses could still cover the entire world. Moreover, by concentrating their divine sense, they could capture any abnormal fluctuations in the Land of Disorder.

But, there was nothing there!

The Saints' field of perception was completely blank. Not only were there no Space Laws, but even the disciples they had dispatched into the mystic realm had all disappeared.

Rumble rumble -

Above the Endless Sea, the violent and chaotic surface of the Land of Disorder suddenly fell silent. The strong winds vanished and the raging waves converged at the same time. Right now, the sea's surface seemed like a giant mirror.

The atmosphere fell deathly silent, without a single sound. A fierce sea monster seemed to be frozen in ice. It was unable to move as its giant eyes filled with fear.

Puff -

With a dull popping sound, the sea monster's head exploded into bits and pieces. Red and white goo splashed out in all directions.

And at this time, it wasn't just this sea monster that was killed. Throughout the silent and mirror-like sea, the smell of blood was so thick it nearly condensed into essence!

Blurry faces appeared in the skies. Their majestic and indifferent eyes opened up, looking at the sea.

This was a certain shape that a Saint's divine senses took after reaching a certain degree of power. The terrifying power of the Saints arrived in the Profound Vision world.

At this moment, every being in the entire world, as long as it had developed spiritual awareness, felt a formidable oppression that came from the level of their life. They knelt down in fear and horror, their bodies shivering with despair.

The wrath of a Saint was enough to destroy the heavens and earth, annihilating all beings in a world! Not to mention, there were as many as seven auras of Saints that arrived in the Profound Vision World right now. Just a single thought was needed for the skies to collapse and for all things to be destroyed!
