Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Although the Vast Brightness was good, Qin Yu could not stay there for long. The Desolate Area was where Qin Yu fought his battles.

However, he did not leave directly at this moment. Instead, he descended to another area – the Ruler’s inheritance!

Back then, Qin Yu met people from the Desolate Area here for the first time and he battled against cultivators from that clan and the West Desolate. Those memories were still vivid in his mind.

The seal from back then had already been broken. Soft Peach, who was supposed to be here, was nowhere to be found.

Since Peachy had avatars, after Soft Peach broke her seal, where did she go? Of course, she would leave this place.

Qin Yu lost his last clue to continue investigating this. After sighing, he turned to leave, “Vast Brightness.”

In the next moment, Qin Yu appeared at the place where darkness and light confronted each other. They used to be from the same body but after crossing an invisible boundary, things started to change.

Lightness and darkness were from the same body!

Qin Yu’s eyes flashed, “You and the abyss…”

The Vast Brightness Will said, “Only one can remain.” He looked at Qin Yu, “I hope it is me.”

Qin Yu said, “I cannot guarantee to you, but if you can do what you promised, I will do my best to help you.”

The Vast Brightness Will nodded, “That is good enough.” He was silent for a while before he said, “Qin Yu, you have too many secrets on you. I hope that you can learn your identity quickly.”

Qin Yu took an eager step forward, “I want to know too as well.”

He was born in that clan and he was Qin Seven’s brother. However, this was not his only identity. Another puzzle had surfaced, but Qin Yu felt that he was very close to the truth already.

He stepped into the abyss.

Kaboom –

Endless darkness brought along an ice cold aura and swept along like large waves.

“I remember your aura!”

“Where is she?”

There was a growl from the Abyss Will that sounded passionate and greedy.

Qin Yu raised his head and clenched his fist at the darkness that was sweeping over.

Buzz –

The Mountains and Rivers Sword landed in his hand he slashed it downward. Like a heavenly sword that split the earth, the endless darkness was split apart.

With that came angered roars from Abyss Will.

Qin Yu stepped forward and directly entered the passage. Behind him, there were loud crashing noises that felt like the outraged sea. The Abyss Will was fuming mad.

Yet, despite its anger, there was no way for it to cross the passage.

Slowly, the disturbance behind him died down and Qin Yu felt a foreign yet close aura.

This was…Great Qin’s aura!

As expected, when the divine nation and the ‘Qin Empire’ met, his relationship with Great Qin strengthened.

He was at the end of the passage.

Shoosh –

Qin Yu returned to the yard back then.

Fisherman was waiting here, wearing a look of worry. When he saw Qin Yu appear, he hurriedly said, “Sect Master Qin, my clan’s passage will rotate periodically and it will head to another direction. You…mm, these passages are a secret of my clan, so please do not ask me about this.”

Qin Yu understood why he was so worried. The southwest fragmented area was a delicious cake that the West Desolate, that destroyed clan, and Great Qin hoped to control.

Otherwise, there would not have been that calamity in the southwest fragmented area back then where the entire Desolate Area had been bombed.

The ancient people lost their leader position in the world and they were chased down by Great Qin. Like stray dogs, they were desperate to find a home for themselves, and this could be understood. However, it was a pity that their goal was similar to Qin Yu’s. There was nothing else to say for them anymore.

“I am going to meet some of my enemies. Fisherman, I hope you are not trying to investigate my background.”

Fisherman’s expression fell, “I definitely am not intending to do so!” There was no way for him to reply otherwise to that question. Investigating Qin Yu’s background, what other consequences were there aside from death?

Furthermore, although Qin Yu appeared calm on the surface, deep within his eyes was a light shade of red.

Fisherman felt danger from this and he immediately shut up! He was smart and avoided digging his own grave. Otherwise, Qin Yu definitely would not mind cutting him up today.

Because he wanted to become a True King!

Ignore the riddle surrounding him. If he was strong enough, he would be able to seek out the answers. Since Rourou had already set the path for him, he could continue walking down it.

Qin Yu turned and left but he stopped after two steps, “Fisherman, you can tell the ancient people my will.

“Great Qin is chasing after you and I can give some form of protection to your bloodline and ensure your safety. I can give you a place where you can hide your auras.

“However, the prerequisite for all this is that I need your loyalty.”

Fisherman was stunned and he stared wide-eyed at Qin Yu.

“I may have the scent of alcohol on me but I did not drink too much. This is the truth.

“You can choose whether or not to trust me, but this is the other choice that I present to you.

“The ancient people can wait to spectate the situation and then make your decision…however, I hope that that day does not come too late, otherwise this offer will be nullified or I will set more unfavorable terms for you.”

Shoosh –

Qin Yu immediately disappeared.

Fisherman fell silent but there was still a shocked expression on his face.

Qin Yu wanted him to oppose Great Qin and stand on the opposite side of Emperor Qin. Qin Yu would protect the ancient people and ensure that they were not hunted down by Great Qin.

Even though he knew how strong and mysterious Qin Yu was, Fisherman felt like he was listening to a lunatic’s ramblings.

Emperor Qin, that was Emperor Qin. Someone who was unrivaled below the Eternal realm. In this world, no one could oppose Emperor Qin, not even the Thirteenth Floor.

The ancient people were the ones who best understood this. Therefore, Fisherman could only suppress the shock he felt after hearing Qin Yu’s words.

However, he could not help thinking about Qin Yu's expression when he left…perhaps, he should tell the others about this offer.

After all, like Qin Yu said, the ancient people did not need to make their decision now and they could continue waiting.

But what if…

Fisherman shook his head. The possibility was way too low and he could almost discard it.

Right now, Qin Yu had already appeared in his ‘Qin Empire’. In front of him was the capital, Xianyang.

He waved his sleeve and the phoenix corpse appeared.

Qin Yu extended his arms and grabbed it.

Space instantly crumbled apart and a passage appeared. A weird screech came from it and a beautiful, wild chicken that had a powerful aura flew out.

“Who!

“Let me tell you, my master is the most powerful man in this world, Qin Yu!

“If you dare to touch me, my master will never let you off. Don’t even think of running away!”

Qin Yu scoffed coldly and kicked him, “Useless. Stop trying to suck up right now. Couldn’t you sense the aura from the divine nation?”

A single sentence exposed his act.

Chicken overlord’s heart clenched and he thought to himself, Qin Yu, this jinx was getting more and more direct. Qin Yu did not care about his feelings anymore.

Going overboard!

However, he did not dare to reveal any of these emotions and he screamed, “Ah, Master, it is you. I really missed you!”

White Feifei stood by the side with a weird expression on her face.

Qin Yu waved his sleeve and pushed chicken overlord aside, “Alright, stop acting now or I will give you to her.”

White Feifei stepped forward and smiled, “Little chicken, let me tell you, eating chicken is the thing that I am best at. I can eat any variety of chicken.”

There was a ‘plop’ as chicken overlord dropped to the ground lifelessly.

In the next moment, he flipped himself over violently and fiercely beat his wings as he ran towards Qin Yu and cried, “Master, save me. Women are so fierce!”

Qin Yu calmly said, “Be careful when you say this. If White Feifei really wants to eat you, there is nothing I can do.”

“No! Master, look at how fat I am; I am filled with oil only and I will not be tasty! Master, what do you want me to do? Tell me directly, I will do as you say and I will definitely do it to the best of my capabilities. Please don’t scare me.”

Chicken overlord was on the verge of crying.

Qin Yu smiled, “This is what you said, I did not force you.”

Chicken overlord nodded his head fiercely. He was truly scared. This woman’s aura felt like an evil demon to him.

If he fell into her hands, the best outcome for him would be death.

Qin Yu waved his sleeve and the corpse of the phoenix appeared. Qin Yu said, “Eat this. From today onwards, you are the Qin Nation’s protected mythical phoenix. Suppress the divine nation and gather faith to refine nation fate!”

The outward appearance of the phoenix corpse felt mediocre but to chicken overlord, it was a massive bait.

He looked at the corpse and then at Qin Yu; he felt extremely at a loss for words. Can’t you just tell me this directly? I will agree to it directly, why must you scare me!

Qin Yu could sense what he was thinking through the resentment in his eyes. He smiled, “I did it on purpose.”

Chicken overlord was speechless.

I will bear it!

Continue bearing it!

I am the best at holding it in!

“Master, as long as you are happy.” Chicken overlord opened his mouth and devoured the dried corpse of the phoenix. Instantly, a drastic transformation started.

Great chunks of his feathers dropped out and new feathers that grew were much more vivid. On the surface of his feathers were bright burning flames.

At the same time, his physical body started to change. He was no longer a big bowling ball of fat and his body became much more refined and toned. Simply put, he was much better looking and it had turned into another phoenix.

There was a shriek as the chicken overlord turned phoenix shot into the sky. He could not help showing off his stylish ‘beauty’ in the sky.

It truly seemed like this was the case.

Waves of cries could be heard in Xianyang and many people’s eyes widened in surprise as they observed this. They did not know why the legendary phoenix would appear here.

White Feifei licked her lips, “Now, it looks more delectable.”

Chicken overlord shuddered and almost dropped from the sky. He looked extremely haggard.

Qin Yu stepped forward and said in a deep voice, “A phoenix has descended to guard the Qin Nation against divine animals.”

A deep rolling sound came from the sky.

At the same time in imperial palace.

Cloud Mist Taoist walked forward and bowed in the direction of the phoenix, “This humble daoist greets the guardian divine beast!”

The young man behind him was Chen She.

The stern Emperor Qin immediately smiled, “National Advisor, this is the guardian divine animal of Great Qin?”

Cloud Mist Taoist stood up and nodded, “That’s right. The divine beast is given by the heavens. It is a message from the heavens that our Great Qin Empire will last forever!

“Chen She, you will be in charge of communications with the guardian divine beast in the future.”

The young Chen She was much more reserved. After sighing, he bowed, “Yes, Master.” he did not know why he suddenly turned around and was chosen to be a disciple of Great Qin’s national advisor.

Evidently, this was the opportunity of a lifetime. Chen She swore that he would cherish this well and he would not let the opportunity slip by his hands.

The phoenix flew in the sky and circled around Xianyang. It made a screech and then landed near Xianyang City. It turned into a massive statue.

Flames around its body burned fiercely!

Crackle hiss –

Qin Yu could feel invisible power of faith gathering. It was slowly turning into Qin Nation’s nation fate.

“Let’s go.” Qin Yu turned to leave.

White Feifei stared deeply at Xianyang City in front of her.

Shoosh –

She disappeared.

……

Swallow Mountain.

True King Qiongji had already been waiting here for a long time, but he did not meet Qin Yu. This made him feel highly uneasy, as though something was going to happen.

Right at this moment, a knocking sound came. True King Qiongji frowned and he waved his sleeve to open the door, “Come in.”

One-armed Zhang Xiashan stepped into the room and bowed respectfully, “True King Qiongji, I am passing you a message from my Sect Master. He has something to do and he needs you to wait somewhere else.”

True King Qiongji jumped out of his seat, “What? Your Sect Master wants me to wait somewhere else? Where is he?”

Floor Master was already anxiously waiting but it was obvious that Qin Yu had something else to do. If he continued waiting here, something would definitely happen.

Zhang Xiashan continued, “Sect Master said that if you go there, you will find what Floor Master wants. He has already gone ahead to make preparations to ensure things go well.”

True King Qiongji’s expression relaxed, “Tell me the location.”

Zhang Xiashan handed over a jade slip.

After using his divine sense to scan the jade slip, True King Qiongji’s expression hardened.

“Are you sure this is the place?”

Zhang Xiashan nodded, “Yes.”

Sighing deeply, True King Qiongji gritted his teeth, “Alright!”

He stood up and stepped forward, directly disappearing.

In the next moment, True King Qiongji appeared outside Thirteenth Floor. He bowed, “Floor Master, Opening Heavens Sword Sect Qin Yu wants me to wait for him at Xianyang City. This thing cannot be leaked to the outside world and I specially came to ask Floor Master.”

A few moments later, Floor Master’s calm voice sounded, “He asked you to go, so go.”

True King Qiongji bowed, “Yes.”

As he turned to leave, he wore a bitter smile.

Xianyang!

It was actually Xianyang, the capital of Great Qin!

Was Qin Yu truly not afraid of death? Or did he want to use this chance to pull Floor Master down and get the entire Thirteenth Floor to stand on his side and oppose Great Qin? More importantly, True King Qiongji was being dragged in and he was also pushed to the frontlines of the battle.

However, it was Emperor Qin who was opposite him!

Being enemies with him…just thinking about the consequences made his heart shudder.

Yet, he had no other choice now unless he disobeyed Floor Master…he would die!

Qin Yu ah Qin Yu, what are you trying to do?

……

“White Feifei, I need to become a True King.”

“Then My Lord, you need to kill at least two True Kings and use their Great Dao as your own.”

“Emperor Qin is looking for me.”

“Therefore, you can’t take action in the Desolate Area now.”

“Where should I go?”

“Bounded Void Space!”

Qin Yu stood on a mountain peak. He reached forward and grabbed, retrieving the Mountains and Rivers Sword.

“Alright!”

With a low shout, he slashed the sword down!

The slash was silent but space was cut in half, revealing a massive wound.

Woosh –

Qin Yu stepped into it!
