Refining the Mountains and Rivers

There was a woman wearing a long pink dress, a few peach blossoms tied around her ears. She walked across the sea with a calm expression. Wherever she passed, waves restrained themselves, without a single fluctuation at all.

At this moment, the woman looked up at the skies above the Profound Vision World, her eyes flashing with a thoughtful light. Then, she turned her hand. Light surged and a peach blossom appeared on her palm.

It was a peach blossom exactly like those around her ears. If one looked carefully, they would discover that it was still wet with tiny dewdrops.

But the only similarity was their appearance. Just by looking at this peach blossom, one's mind would shake as if a towering mountain was pushing down on them.

It was dignified and formidable, vast and boundless!

An aura containing the rhyme of the Great Dao was released from the peach blossom. Common cultivators wouldn't be able to feel it, but within the senses of a Saint, it was like a transcendent Great Dao that pierced through the heavens, passing through the entire world.

This represented the will of a peak True Saint who had crossed the sea and reached straight towards the unsurpassed Great Dao! This will was strong enough that even an unsurpassed Ruler had to give it a certain degree of respect.

If a Ruler had to be like this, then there was no need to mention other cultivators. After a short silence, the space in front of the woman fluctuated.

Seven figures appeared one after another. As space warped around them, it began to tear apart, with countless tiny cracks appearing in it.

The woman bowed and respectfully said, "Peachy greets the Saints!"

The Saints who had arrived at the Profound Vision World with their thoughts before were now all gathered here. This certainly wasn't because of Peachy's noble status. After all, those who hadn't entered the path of Saints were nothing but ants. In the end they wouldn't be able to resist the passage of time and would eventually perish, their bodies and souls disappearing forever.

But for this peach blossom that had the will of a True Saint poured into it, they had to present themselves to show their respect.

"Peachy, why did you ask us to come here?" A female Half-Saint slowly said. Although the space around her was twisted and blurry, one could still barely make out her slender figure within.

Peachy said, "The reason I took the liberty to ask the Saints to come is because the person who initiated a hunt of sea monsters in the Profound Vision World is someone chosen by my father. I hope the Saints can be broad-minded and spare him."

The atmosphere fell silent!

The will of Peach Blossom Spring was incomparably formidable, but a complete Space Laws was also a great enticement.

In particular, to a Half-Saint who was trapped in the Sea Crossing boundary and unable to reach the other shore, this could be the key to them becoming a True Saint!

A Half-Saint said in a low voice, "How honored is the disciple of a True Saint. On what virtues did this junior receive such favor from the Spring Master?"

"Entering the tutelage of a True Saint isn't possible without great luck or an immense destiny. To be received so hastily, it seems a bit strange." Another Half-Saint said in a calm voice.

But no matter what tone they used, it represented a kind of confrontation. Your Peach Blossom Spring is strong, but that doesn't mean you can do whatever you want! The Space Laws were in front of them and this involved their own cultivation Great Daos. Although the Saints didn't want to, they had no choice but to compete with Peach Blossom Spring!

Peachy stood up, her calm expression not indicating anything, "The Saints are correct, so whether or not he can enter Peach Blossom Spring, that will depend on his own destiny."

She lifted a finger and pointed forward. The place she pointed towards was where the sea monsters were crazily gathering. "If he can rush out of the Endless Sea alive with his own strength, then he is predestined to join Peach Blossom Spring. This is the test that Peach Blossom Spring has given him!"

The Saints were all aware of the current situation by now. With how terrifying the sea monsters in the Endless Sea were, it was almost impossible for someone below a Saint to survive.

The chances of him surviving were infinitesimally low, so this could absolutely be used as a test. If he smoothly survived, then that was certainly a great destiny. Of course, he would be qualified to enter the tutelage of a Saint, and there would be no room for others to ridicule him.

The Spring Master was indeed the Spring Master. His conduct was impeccable, and even if the other Saints were dissatisfied there was nothing they could say about it.

"He cannot use the Space Laws!" A Half-Saint said.

The numerous Saints all nodded. If he escaped using the Space Laws, then even though the monster beasts of the Endless Sea were terrifying, it would be difficult for them to harm him and the test would become meaningless.

Peachy said, "Good. Then I ask the Saints to please stand as witnesses today. If he uses the power of space then he will be considered as having failed his test and Peach Blossom Spring will no longer interfere in this matter."

The numerous Saints were silent. They sighed inwardly; Peachy truly did have excellent methods.

To stand testimony today was also a pledge. If this person passed the test they couldn't feign ignorance and move against him in the future, otherwise that would be considered as provoking Peach Blossom Spring.

Even a Half-Saint existence would not be able to withstand provoking a peak True Sant!

Even so, the Saints couldn't reject this proposition, because it was their only way of obtaining the Space Laws!

…

Although Qin Yu knew it was impossible to escape the encirclement of sea monsters in the Endless Sea, he still fled.

Killing off the sea monsters…okay, that sounded heroic and blood-boiling, and it was a thought that stimulated the mind. But the chances of accomplishing this were so miniscule that it could almost be ignored.

In other words, escaping the Endless Sea and having the curse become invalid was the best choice and also the only choice.

Then of course he had to escape. Before he was surrounded and entangled by the sea monsters, he had to get as far towards the edge of the Endless Sea as he could.

The closer he was to the edge, the greater his chances of escaping alive!

Generally speaking, the deeper one went into the Endless Sea, the stronger the sea monsters. Qin Yu chose to flee in the direction he came from. But when the realm within a realm was destroyed and the spirit body dragged everyone into the furnace, the darkness that surrounded them had been the turbulent spatial flow.

Later when he came out, Qin Yu had arrived at almost the depths of the Endless Sea. So whether it was going forward or backwards, there was almost no difference at all. He just needed to choose a direction and run!

He did his best and erupted with his greatest speed. But Qin Yu had far, far too little time left.

He suddenly came to a fierce stop. Without pause, he punched out a fist.

Hou -

The void roared around him and the phantom of an Abyssal Titan appeared behind Qin Yu. It followed the punch, striking brutally.

The water broke apart and a vicious sea monster raced out, its tentacles covered in sharp spikes. But before it could tie Qin Yu up, it was sent flying away.

A loud and dull noise exploded on the sea's surface, like thunderclaps on the plains. One could clearly see the massive sea monster's chest sink in and its back blow up and explode into pieces.

Flesh and blood splattered in all directions, followed by a shrill scream. This sea monster that raced out from the sea and wanted to kill Qin Yu was ruined instead. It crashed back into the sea, blood billowing out of it before there were no other sounds.

Qin Yu's glowered, no joy on his face. He took back his fist and the Titan phantom behind him disappeared. He continued racing forward. It had to be known that what he faced right now was the encirclement of every sea monster in the entire Endless Sea. There was no encouragement to be found from killing one.

By killing this sea monster with one all-out strike, he might unnecessarily use up strength, but what was even more precious than that right now was time. With every additional breath of time he had, he could race that much further and approach the shore that much sooner.

Once one came, there would be a second. Moreover, as time passed, more and more sea beasts would approach him.

Soon, Qin Yu experienced a bitter attack from a second sea monster. Then it was a third, fourth, fifth…at the start, he was still able to run after killing one, but after the tenth, he discovered that he had fallen into a crazed pack of sea monsters!

Running was impossible, because there were too many sea monsters. Once he killed one another would replace it, like moths racing towards a flame.

No, that description wasn't too accurate. It was more like a swarm of locusts that blotted out the skies and chased after him!

Their crimson eyes lacked all wisdom and reasoning. They also had no idea what fear was. Even though they were soaked with blood, they still rushed forward.

Even if they died, they had to tear off a piece of meat from Qin Yu!

Okay, one had to acknowledge that even Qin Yu, who had a formidable willpower and mentality, still couldn't help but feel some dread and panic.

This was nothing disgraceful. If anyone else were in his place and faced this situation, it would be impossible for them to maintain their calm.

If a mountain collapsed in front of a person and they still managed to keep a straight face…then that person either had facial paralysis or he was pretending.

But panic and dread only lasted for a short time before it was forcibly suppressed into the depths of his heart. This was because he knew that these emotions would only cause him to die even faster.

If he couldn't continue escaping, then he would fight!

Hou -

The bloodline that came from the abyss world and had separated itself from the Ancients in distant times, once again appeared in the vast brightness world.

The power of the Abyssal Titans that once ate Demon Dragons as food erupted in desperation. The leading sea monsters were torn to pieces, their blood and flesh raining down from the skies and dyeing the entire sea red.

It was domineering and unparalleled!

If one didn't see this with their own eyes, they would never know how frigid and brutal this battlefield was. But no matter how strong the Abyssal Titan form was, it wasn't a killing machine that was completely disconnected from fatigue. As time passed, Qin Yu's breathing became heavier and his complexion paled.

His strength was going to be exhausted, but as far as he could see, the sea monsters were still endless. It was impossible to kill them all!
