Refining the Mountains and Rivers

White Feifei frowned, “My Lord…”

She did not understand why Qin Yu would give up on the massive beast corpse. A complete corpse of a Longevity Species. It was evidently a top grade Eternal treasure.

If he obtained it, he would gain immortality and much strength!

Qin Yu thought about it and said, “An Eternal is a side road. Once I step onto it, it would be hard to break through the boundaries of life again and become a true Longevity Species.”

“How do you know this?”

Qin Yu shook his head, “I didn’t.”

What a contradictory answer, but the deeper meaning in it made her heart shudder!

White Feifei’s eyes bulged wide, “My Lord, do you mean…”

Qin Yu calmly replied, “I have many secrets on me. You do not know the full thing.” He sighed out gently before his lips hooked upwards, “I don’t even know the answers to some of the secrets. We can’t stay in the Bounded Void Space for long. Do you think I will fail because of this?”

Since he was already a True King, there was no need to remain in the Bounded Void Space anymore. He turned to leave, heading in the direction of the location marker of his divine nation.

The sound of water came again and it seemed like an invisible force had sensed that its prey was retreating; it did not dare to come forward. However, none of this was important to Qin Yu and he continued to head towards the Desolate Area.

Finally, the sound of water disappeared and Qin Yu could sense the location marker of his divine nation clearly.

He lifted his hand, grabbed tightly onto the Mountains and Rivers Sword, and slashed it down.

Kaboom –

The darkness rolled away and Qin Yu took a step out.

In the vast divine nation, there were many believers kneeling before the big altar. All of them were chanting their ruler’s name.

Invisible faith gathered and burned!

All of a sudden, an explosion erupted in the sky and a massive opening stretched across the sky.

Holding onto the Mountains and Rivers Sword, Qin Yu stepped out from the opening. The burning faith gathered towards him and enveloped his body. It turned him into a ten thousand foot long figure that held a heavenly sword.

God had descended.

“My ruler!” The believers were highly emotional and they kissed the altar continuously, “Your believers congratulate you on your return.”

The large number of believers at the altar were going mad.

Qin Yu’s face was dark and he suddenly waved his sleeve. The boundless faith turned into light streaks and fell down.

It was like a downpour had started.

“Recite my name and comply with my will!” Every light streak entered the believers’ bodies and power instantly surged.

The high priest above the altar received significantly more light streaks and a drastic change occurred as he grew younger.

“Our ruler is above all!”

Shoosh –

Qin Yu stepped out and left the divine nation. However, he could feel that his connection with his divine nation had grown closer.

The believers’ faith was much more sincere!

Although it was rather odd, the divine nation was hugely beneficial for Qin Yu. Without it, he would not have been able to venture into the depths of the Bounded Void Space nor the Sea of Confusion. He would not have been able to kill the other True Kings to enter the King realm!

“My Lord, where to now?”

“Xianyang!”

……

True King Qiongji restrained his sword aura and disguised himself as a foreigner to hide outside Xianyang City.

Go in and wait?

He was not crazy!

Emperor Qin’s aura was getting scarier recently. Even if he was outside Xianyang City, True King Qiongji could feel the suppression and anger from Emperor Qin, and his heart clenched.

He did not dare to wonder why Qin Yu called him to wait at Xianyang. Was he going to confront Emperor Qin?

True King Qiongji was scared!

He already felt uneasy before taking action.

This was Xianyang where Emperor Qin had ultimate control. Making a move here was no different from seeking death.

No, no way!

No matter what Qin Yu was about to do, he must be stopped.

There was the sound of someone knocking on the door.

Standing before a window and looking in the direction of the Imperial Palace, True King Qiongji’s expression suddenly fell.

“Who is it!”

Anger flashed through his eyes.

Before the knocking came, he had been completely oblivious to this person. He could not imagine how this could happen.

“It is me.”

Upon hearing the voice, True King Qiongji’s eyes widened and he dashed towards the door.

“Qin…” He hurried to open the door. Once Qin Yu walked in, he poked his head out and checked his surroundings. When he did not sense anything wrong, he heaved a sigh of relief.

‘Bom’, the door was slammed shut. True King Qiongji smiled bitterly, “Sect Master Qin, why are you here? This is Xianyang!”

Qin Yu said, “I asked you to wait here, of course I will be here.”

True King Qiongji’s smile grew more wry, “I did not mean that…forget it! Sect Master Qin, please tell me what you are going to do.”

Qin Yu’s expression was calm, “Let me correct you. It is not about what I want to do but Floor Master’s intentions.” He looked at True King Qiongji, “You don’t have anything against this right?”

True King Qiongji rubbed his face. The arrogant and cold attitude he had in the past was gone, “Sect Master Qin, we should get to the point.”

He sighed, “Whatever you want to do in Xianyang will not be a good decision. Therefore, we should think carefully before we proceed and not make rash moves.”

Qin Yu replied, “You are right.”

Qiongji’s expression brightened but before he could rejoice, he froze, “Therefore, I made preparations before I came to Xianyang.”

In other words, the arrow was positioned on the bow and ready to be fired.

“Sect Master Qin…”

Qin Yu raised his hand to stop him, “Qiongji, I will not send you to your grave and I am only asking you to do something simple.

“You can just stand beside me.”

Qiongji’s presence represented the Thirteenth Floor itself. Floor Master wanted Qin Yu to block heavenly punishment for him when he broke through to become a Longevity Species. He had to pay a price.

Pure words but no action? Not possible.

Qin Yu was going to drag them down!

True King’s Qiongji’s expression changed, “Sect Master Qin…”

Qin Yu grabbed him and said calmly, “I did not tell you in order to discuss it with you. Let’s move.”

Buzz –

A sword hum came and terrifying sword aura burst out. The living area that the two of them were in shattered into pieces.

Boom –

A sword shadow shot towards the sky and a violent force rolled out, instantly shaking Xianyang.

Kaboom –

The clouds in the sky shook violently and there was a loud dragon roar. The protective array of Great Qin’s capital was ignited.

“True King!” True King Qiongji’s eyes widened and his face was filled with shock.

In a short period of time, Qin Yu had broken through. If True King Qiongji did not witness this for himself, he would not believe it.

He wanted to protest a moment ago, but now…he did not dare to!

Qin Yu had already made his move. If he dragged Qin Yu down now, True King Qiongji was sure that the Mountains and Rivers Sword would strike him. While the destructive life force was silent for now, if he confronted Qin Yu, he was sure to die!

Therefore, he could only grit his teeth and stand beside Qin Yu. He would deal with Floor Master’s anger later.

Boom –

Space exploded and a beast baring its claws descended upon Xianyang.

Qin Yu lifted the Mountains and Rivers Sword. His gaze fell on the Imperial Palace and he yelled, “Emperor Qin, I am here!”

Imperial Palace.

Emperor Qin stood up wearing a calm expression. He stepped forward and teleported in front of Qin Yu.

His cold eyes landed on Qin Yu, “Qin Yu, your boldness is greater than I thought.”

Qin Yu raised his hand and slashed the Mountains and Rivers Sword down. This was probably the first time a King realm swordsman appeared in this world in countless years.

And at this moment, the entire world witnessed the strength of a King realm swordsman.

Boom –

The sword struck down and the world was destroyed!

It was going to wipe out all living creatures here.

No one would be spared.

This was the might of a King realm swordsman. It was not an exaggeration to call him a disaster.

However Emperor Qin was stronger. He was undefeated and unrivaled in this world! He took a step forward and threw a punch towards Qin Yu’s sword strike.

Boom –

A deafening explosion accompanied the ravaging shockwave that swept out continuously. At this moment, no life above the skies of Xianyang survived. Every living and non-living thing was wiped out.

True King Qiongji stood by the side. His pale face had beads of sweat droplets. He knew that Qin Yu who had broken through to the King realm was strong, but the unrivalled Emperor Qin’s strength was unimaginable.

When the two battled each other, he was thrown back and flabbergasted and he had to suppress the fear and terror that overwhelmed his heart.

True King Qiongji knew very well that if he interfered and sided with anyone right now, he would die.

There was no way for him to run either!

Qin Yu backed away. Every step he took came with a deafening explosion. The Mountains and Rivers Sword in his hand was shaking violently. It could sense the suppressive forces from Emperor Qin.

He was truly strong, unbelievably strong in fact…he was definitely someone befitting of killing a Longevity Species.

“Sect Master Qin, what should we do?” True King Qiongji’s voice was shaking.

Qin Yu calmly replied, “It is alright.”

Before he returned to the Desolate World, he had confirmed how strong Emperor Qin was. Naturally, he knew that he would not win.

The reason why he returned to Xianyang even though he knew he could not win was firstly because he had to show himself and display his powers.

This would be hugely beneficial to what he was going to do next.

Secondly, the one who would fight against Emperor Qin today was not really Qin Yu.

He opened the game nicely even though it was not perfect. Nonetheless, this sword strike showed how powerful he was.

Therefore, it was time for the main lead to take action.

Boom –

A terrifying beast appeared in Xianyang. As it gave a ferocious roar, a powerful aura emanated from its body!

The events in Xianyang had attracted the attention of every True King in the world. After all, this was the first time anyone dared to attack Xianyang.

Now, they were all exclaiming.

“Eternal realm!”

“Longevity Species!”

Many of the True King projections were wide-eyed and shocked.

The spectators felt the massive difference in strength when Qin Yu and Emperor Qin fought even though both were in the King realm.

However, when the Longevity Species entered the battle, they were at a loss for words! Every True King knew that the King realm was not the sky and there were ways forward for their Great Dao.

That was the Eternal realm.

However, the existence of the Eternal realm remained a rumor and it was a realm that people knew of but could not reach. After all, the mighty, undefeated Emperor Qin and the Floor Master of the Thirteenth Floor had not broken through to become Longevity Species.

Yet today, Qin Yu waved his sleeve and summoned a Longevity Species beast.

All True Kings present trusted their own eyes and they knew that they were not mistaken. That powerful suppressive force was the best evidence for this.

“Opening Heavens Sword Sect Qin Yu can summon a beast of the Longevity Species!”

“No wonder he dares to come to Xianyang today!”

“Great Qin is in danger!”

There was a serious look on each of the True King’s faces. They were probably about to witness the greatest turnaround battle in the Desolate World’s history. If Emperor Qin fell, the powerful Great Qin would disappear like the wind.

The Desolate World would welcome a new beginning!

However, things were not like they thought.

Emperor Qin looked at the beast with a calm expression, “Qin Yu, it seems that you went to the Bounded Void Space and broke through to become a True King!”

There was a golden hue in his eyes, “But since you brought the beast back, you must know that I managed to kill him once back then, I can do it a second time. Furthermore, today it is just a soul borrowing the shell of the corpse.”

He lifted his hand and pressed forward.

Boom –

The skies fell down and a terrifying suppressive force enveloped the beast.

It gave a deafening roar towards the sky. At the same time, White Feifei’s anxious voice rang through his head, “My Lord, Emperor Qin is right. I am just an imitation and I can’t last for long. You have to hurry!”

Qin Yu turned and left.

In the next moment, he appeared deep in the Imperial Palace.

The national advisor stood opposite him. His gaze was cold and there was a serious look in his eyes, “Sect Master Qin, this is an important ground of Great Qin’s Imperial Palace, please leave!”

Qin Yu called, “Qiongji.”

Shoosh –

True King Qiongji appeared.

At this moment, a deep rumble emerged from the Imperial Palace. The powerful forces resulting from Emperor Qin and the beast exchanging blows caused the entirety of Xianyang to shake.

“Stop the national advisor, don’t let him block me.”

Through gritted, teeth, True King said, “Alright!”

Things had progressed to the point of no return and True King Qiongji could only follow Qin Yu till the end reluctantly. The only good news was that Floor Master had not shown himself till now, and this meant that Floor Master did not oppose what he had done…or at least, he had chosen to be silent.

Granted, the appearance of the Longevity Species beast improved Qiongji’s impression of Qin Yu. He felt much more mysterious now.

National Advisor smirked, “Qiongji, do you think you can stop me?” Waving his sleeve, three puppets appeared. Each one of them carried a deathly aura.

Although they could not compare to a True King, the combined forces of the three puppets was enough to delay True King Qiongji.

Qin Yu took out the Boundary Ring and threw it at True King Qiongji, “Bring them to the Bounded Void Space.”

“Yes.”

True King Qiongji cupped his hands together.

Boom –

Energy burst out from the Boundary Ring and covered the entire lands. Cracks appeared in the rigid space and the national advisor and the three puppets were pulled into the Bounded Void Space.

True King Qiongji was not a match for him, but with the Boundary Ring, it would not be too hard to stall him for a period of time.

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from novelbuddy.com.

Shoosh –

Qin Yu stepped forward.

Buzz –

Space vibrated. That was Great Qin’s Imperial Palace’s protest to a True King’s infiltrartion.

Time was tight and White Feifei did not know how long she could last. Qin Yu had to hurry!

“Who dares to infiltrate the forbidden grounds of the Imperial Palace?”

“Die!”

The guards of Great Qin protecting the forbidden grounds were enraged. They were all strong and they wore sturdy armor. When they attacked together, even True Kings would find them hard to deal with.

However, it was a pity that it was Qin Yu who came today. He raised his hand and slashed the Mountains and Rivers Sword down. Sword aura swept through the lands and multiple guards were dismembered!

With one blow, he had killed all the guards at the forbidden grounds of the Imperial Palace.

Shoosh –

Qin Yu appeared before a dried well. He could not see any light as he looked down it.

White Feifei’s second heart was sealed here!

Once she got it, she would regain more than half of her Longevity Species power and she would become Qin Yu’s greatest aide.

Boom –

With one sword strike, the opening of the well shattered and Qin Yu stepped into it.
