Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Very soon, Qin Yu found it difficult to remain calm. He had originally thought that the restrictive force came from the broken rocks, but he realized that he was wrong. The restrictive force came from the sea water.

Very strong! Very strong! Very strong!

Important things had to be repeated thrice.

How strong was it…previously, Qin Yu would not have known how to describe it and could only say that this was the strongest he had seen.

But he had just experienced the terror when the Eye of Eternal Night descended on the East Sea and he had to fight for his life. Now, as he felt the restrictive force of the sea water, Qin Yu felt as if he was facing the Eye of Eternal Night.

Compared to the ruthless essence of the Eye of Eternal Night, the restrictive force was a lot gentler. It was just to stop people from getting close. But the more he felt the force, the more surprised he was. The hair on his back started to stand.

The energy that was contained in this seawater was sleeping…or rather, it had not shown its true self!

He could not just force his way in. Qin Yu had an instinct. If he irritated the thing in the mountain, he would become mashed meat.

He could not block it. With his current abilities, he could not block it!

What exactly was hidden in this mountain…

No wonder the Dragon Saint would rather take the risk than run. No wonder the Spring Master could disregard his reputation to take this chance.

"I have never seen the thing inside the mountain. It is incomparably strange and no words can describe it. Qin Yu, what you can do now is only to show your abilities and your strongest attribute. You have to try and impress the thing in the mountain and gain its approval." In his mind, the Spring Master's voice was calm. "Trust me, if you can obtain the thing in the mountain…just with this, your chance of getting the position of Ruler will double."

Double…it did not sound like much, but this was for the Ruler position! This was enough to move anyone and make them sacrifice everything!

Qin Yu's eyes shone…show his power to gain recognition…this meant that the Dragon Saint, who was a True Saint, had never managed it…how high was the expectation of the thing in the mountain that even True Saints were not impressive?

Could he do it?

He hesitated slightly before taking a deep breath. Determination filled his eyes once more.

This was his chance. Time would tell. Thinking too much now would just deplete his energy and had no other use.

He breathed out and closed his eyes. Within his body, an exploding sound could be heard from his flesh and blood expanding. Various subtle lines appeared on the surface of his skin, making it slightly fluorescent. His entire body looked slightly transparent.

Rule System Body!

Qin Yu felt a vibration under his feet and he felt as if he was being examined. It was as if it had accidentally opened its eyes in its slumber and was slightly surprised as it looked over.

But it was just that.

The examining sensation soon disappeared. Along with it, the energy in the sea water disappeared as well.

Qin Yu was surprised. Was it over? No, it definitely could not be so easy.

Licking his lips, Qin Yu took a big step forward.

Behind him, the Spring Master's eyes flashed with a hint of regret. Alas, he really had the Rule System Body. Qin Yu truly made people jealous.

For cultivators who took the True God Path, having the Rule System Body would be a perfect match.

With the addition of space time energy…Qin Yu was almost the perfect base.

His future was limitless!

Of course, it was because he looked upon Qin Yu highly that the Spring Master was willing to disregard his reputation and force the Dragon Saint to agree.

Rule System Body!

The Dragon Saint was shocked as he saw how easily Qin Yu proceeded on. He recalled how difficult it had been for him to take that first step. He would be lying if he said he was not jealous. However, he had to admit that with the Rule System Body, it was natural for Qin Yu to be recognized.

But the next few steps would not be so easy. That thing had very high expectations; anything ordinary would not impress it.

The restrictive force from the sea water appeared once more.

Qin Yu stopped and looked at the gap in the mountain range. He kind of understood what the Dragon Saint meant when he said that he would be able to take it if he could reach there.

It was obvious that the road to the gap in the mountain range was the test!

The recognition he got for his Rule System Body only allowed him to clear a small section. However, looking at the distance between him and the gap in the mountain range, it was clear that this was not going to be easy.

Thankfully, Qin Yu had a few things up his sleeve. But this meant that he would not be able to hide anything and had to show it all today.

Truthfully, this made Qin Yu feel uneasy. However, he quickly squashed this thought…if he could get the thing in the mountain, so be it!

For his second card, Qin Yu chose the Galaxy God Mark!

Boom -

The illusion of the God Mark appeared and soon the illusion of the galaxy could be seen. It flickered and twinkled in an extremely mysterious manner. Qin Yu's body glowed and he looked even brighter. The Rule System Body and Galaxy God Mark had some attributes that allowed them to complement and enhance each other.

The Spring Master knew about this and his expression was calm. However, it was the first time the Dragon Saint was seeing the Galaxy God Mark.

What he was seeing was very different from the rumors. At this moment, he was sure that Qin Yu was taking the True God Path. He even managed to get the Galaxy God Mark which was more advanced than the Galaxy Mark.

No wonder Qin Yu's power was able to increase so quickly!

With this Galaxy God Mark, Qin Yu was qualified to proceed on. However, this was just two steps; there were still many challenges!

I am not worried. I am not worried at all!

The Dragon Saint sucked in his cheek and told himself to calm down. Nothing would happen.

When the Galaxy God Mark was shown, the restrictive force of the sea water subsided. This verified Qin Yu's guess. He looked at the gap in the mountain range and his eyes lit up.

So it was like this!

This meant that as long as Qin Yu could show enough skills that would make the thing in the mountain approve, or some attributes he had, he would be able to proceed onward.

Qin Yu's heart pounded in his chest. Maybe…he could do it!

Moving on.

The restrictive force of the seawater descended for the third time.

Qin Yu hesitated slightly before he lifted his hands. With a flick of a finger, a light belt appeared in the galaxy above him. A real milky way cut through the galaxy.

The Dragon Saint, who had calmed down slightly, became tense once again. His eyes jutted out as if he had seen a ghost.

The heck, what what what…is this?

Not possible, definitely not possible.

It was not only him, the Spring Master's expression had also changed and he looked slightly surprised.

The both of them were True Saints and were naturally sensitive to the aura of Great Dao. They could sense a strong concentrated aura from this light belt.

This…was a Great Dao belonging to Qin Yu!

More importantly, Qin Yu was taking the True God Path and combined rules of the heavens and earth into himself. The god mark reflected the endless world…how could he gain a Great Dao without going through the Sea of Bitterness!

If this was not shocking, what else in the world could be shocking?

"Spring Master…" The Dragon Saint took a deep breath as he started. He was cut off.

"Don't ask me. Look at my face."

This explanation was sufficient.

At this moment, the Spring Master was really in no mood to talk to the Dragon Saint. He was extremely emotional!

He had no choice. Because right now, Qin Yu was showing a Great Dao that only True Saints could accumulate after going through the Sea of Bitterness.

This was a miracle that had never happened!

And miracles were always related to luck.

The Ruler position had been empty for many years and numerous talented people arose over that time, but none succeeded. In the Spring Master's eyes, perhaps what all of them lacked was just that little bit of luck!

Qin Yu…

Taking a deep breath, the Spring Master said, "Dragon Saint, please keep Qin Yu's Great Dao a secret for now." With his realm, he could clearly see that although the light belt was made of Qin Yu's Great Dao, it was not completely formed. If those with bad intentions found out, there would be trouble.

As for how Qin Yu's Great Dao formed, the Spring Master thought about it and very soon he had a few guesses. That guy had a domineering idea of never backing down. He would rather die than give in, and this was probably what allowed him to succeed. If those who had passed on knew about this, they would also be moved…because he ultimately won a round!

As he thought of Qin Yu, he was reminded of an old friend who had passed on. A small smile appeared on the Spring Master's face. However, when the Dragon Saint saw this smile…the heck. This was too scary. What was this bastard planning?

I nodded. I already agreed, but you did not see me nod. Why must you smile such a horrifying smile? You better not go overboard!

After a few moments of silence, the Dragon Saint's face was sullen as he forced himself to say, "Okay, I promise not to say a single word!"

The Spring Master glanced at him. It would have been sufficient to nod, why must he say it out loud? Was he trying to show how dissatisfied he was? Hehe, he must be getting bold!

So what if he was unhappy?

Let me remind you that this was just the beginning. If I was not certain, why would I have spent so much effort!

Hehe, that thing that is in the East Sea. You were just lucky it landed near your area.

So many years have passed and yet you could not get it. Can't you tell that you are not fated to have it? You should know jolly well where you stand.

Perhaps it is just waiting for someone to bring it back to the Peach Garden!

The restrictive force of the sea water was slightly delayed. It seems like a semi-finished True Saint Great Dao was not sufficient to gain recognition. It was as if only after taking into account the Rule System Body and the appearance of the True Saint Path did it finally allow Qin Yu to barely pass.

The frightening force of the sea water withdrew.

Success!

Truthfully speaking, amongst the cards he had, Qin Yu had the least confidence in this.

The Dragon Saint was a genuine True Saint and yet he was not able to gain the recognition of the thing in the mountain. No one knew if his semi-finished Great Dao would be accepted.

It was a pleasant surprise!

Hopefully this was a good omen that he would have a good ending.

Moving on!

Already three steps.

As the Dragon Saint stared at Qin Yu's silhouette, numerous emotions flitted through his eyes. He was uneasy.

Back then, how much effort did he have to put in before he could take three steps?

It was too long ago and he could no longer remember clearly…he truly could not remember. He was not lying. But why did he feel as if there was something sour in his mouth?

Was there really such a big difference between a person and a dragon? When comparing the number of years lived…the Dragon Saint really wanted to close his eyes and ask his soul - after living like a dragon for so many years, why did he feel like a dog now?!
