Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Floor Master looked calm, “Your Majesty, please speak.”

Qin Yu said, “Currently, Emperor Qin is the only one who has walked the path of Incense Great Dao. He is extremely powerful and unrivaled. If we want to fight against him, only those that have the Incense Great Dao can do so. If not, everything we are doing will be useless…after all, to win this war, I must defeat Emperor Qin!”

Floor Master said, “Your Majesty, you may speak frankly.”

Qin Yu looked determined, “I hope that you can tell me the way to speed up cultivating the Incense Great Dao. The time left for me…or rather the time we have left, is limited.”

Floor Master said slowly, “Your Majesty, since you know the history of Thirteenth Floor, you should know that unless he is extremely desperate, Emperor Qin will not do anything to us. So I think that I still have a lot of time.”

Qin Yu looked at him, “Floor Master, but you should also know that it is because of me that you have this much time.”

Floor Master smiled softly, “I have already repaid it.”Qin Yu shook his head, “But my end result has not changed.” He spoke in a low voice, “I think we should be open and honest about the current situation.”

He striked a thumbs up and said slowly, “There is a limit to how much the heavens and earth can accommodate. Only one Longevity Species is born in many many years. This also means that once Emperor Qin transforms into a real Longevity Species through cultivating the Incense Great Dao…it will not be possible for you, Floor Master.

“Though your Eternal Object breaking was temporarily fixed by borrowing the Longevity Species carcass, you must know that no matter how well it is fixed, it is not perfect. The crack has only been temporarily covered and the problem will arise again.”

Qin Yu paused for a while and looked at Floor Master, “But when the time comes, the world will no longer have the Barbarian Clan and there will be no Barbarian King to help you deal with Emperor Qin. At that time, Thirteenth Floor will still be alright, but Floor Master, you will die.”

Eternal realm, Longevity Species…it was certainly a segment of Great Dao. But the way of getting to it could be right or wrong.

Only the Eternal realm reached through Incense Great Dao was the true Eternal realm. There would also be a chance to continue to improve and become stronger.

This was the realm that Emperor Qin was aiming for. This was also what caused the bump between Floor Master and Emperor Qin.

What Qin Yu was doing now was simply just to reveal everything.

Floor Master was expressionless, “What can I get for helping you?”

“Time and opportunity.” Qin Yu said in a low voice, “Between Emperor Qin and I, only one of us can survive.

“Currently, even I have to admit that no matter how I think about it, I will be the one that dies. Success is almost impossible. But I am indignant – I want to fight. What you can do now is to help me become stronger.

“The stronger I am, the longer I can deal with Emperor Qin for…you should understand this logic.”

This was the fact.

Qin Yu said it and was not afraid that Floor Master would be unaffected.

In the current situation, he would definitely die. Even if Floor Master helped him, it would just be prolonging his death.

Floor Master…had no reason not to help Qin Yu!

A moment of silence.

Floor Master nodded, “I can tell you, but I need to receive your promise.”

“Floor Master, please speak.”

“I want you to promise that you will not enter the Eternal realm in this life. If you disobey, your Great Dao will disintegrate and you will die!” Floor Master raised his hand, “Swear to the world!”

He knew very clearly about what happened when Emperor Qin was in Xianyang and the Heavenseek situation. So he naturally knew Qin Yu’s attitude.

By asking him to swear, he was forcing Qin Yu to the end such that Qin Yu had no wiggle room.

If Qin Yu disobeyed, the heavens and earth would take action.

This was him taking all precautions. If there was a chance that Qin Yu got lucky and won…if he could not enter the Eternal realm, he would not become an obstacle in his Great Dao’s progress.

Qin Yu lifted his hand, “I swear to do what you said!”

Floor Master said slowly, “Your Majesty, please repeat everything that I just said.”

Qin Yu did not hesitate to do so.

Eternal realm? That was like a castle in the sky. Now, the most important thing was for him to survive. If not, he would really die soon.

Moreover, the little blue lamp was awake. The Ruler and Rourou would most likely both be appearing soon. They had worked so hard for so long and would not just watch as someone killed him.

With the three of them, even if he regretted in the future, it should not be a huge problem.

“Your Majesty, you are very wise. I hope that you can battle it out with Emperor Qin for a long time.” Floor Master did not hide the smile on his face. He coughed a few more times before waving his sleeve.

A jade slip appeared in front of Qin Yu.

“Before you came to find me, you must have gone to Min Changjing right? In this is the method to cultivate Incense Great Dao.”

Qin Yu picked up the jade slip and did not sense anything amiss. He delved into it with his senses.

Crack –

A few moments later, there was a sound and the jade slip disintegrated.

Qin Yu opened his eyes and looked alert. Actually, what was in the jade slip was no different from what Min Changjing said. However, Min Changjing merely pointed out the direction whereas the jade slip gave clear instructions.

“Thank you Floor Master. My time is limited and I cannot stay any longer.” Qin Yu stood up and put his hands together, “The battle between the Barbarian Clan and the Desolate Area is ongoing. I hope that you will be able to help the Barbarian Clan gain some space to breathe.”

Woosh –

He disappeared.

Floor Master finished his wine and placed it down before smiling, “The Barbarian King is an interesting person.”

He thought about it before saying, “Qiongji.”

Very soon, True King Qiongji appeared and bowed, “Greetings Floor Master.”

“Hurry and head to the Barbarian Clan. You don’t have to do anything in the battle. Just appear everywhere.”

True King Qiongji widened his eyes, “This…”

Floor Master looked at him and said slowly, “Qin Yu wanted me to help him so I have to do it. Moreover, aren’t you the most appropriate person to do this?”

He spoke calmly but it caused True King Qiongji to instantly start sweating as he rushed to bow and agree.

“Go.”

“Yes!”

True King Qiongji turned and left. He was pale and his eyes were filled with shock. It seemed like the problem between him and Qin Yu had been found out a long time ago.

There was nothing Floor Master did not know!

Thankfully, Floor Master and Qin Yu seemed to have some sort of agreement such that he was able to remain safe. If not…True King Qiongji shivered as fear crept into his face.

……

Leaving Thirteenth Floor, Qin Yu waved his sleeve and the air around him froze, covering his aura.

“Little blue lamp, it is time for you to give me an answer.”

Buzz –

The air shook and cracked. The illusion of a big sun appeared.

“Qin Yu, as you imagine, the person who is chasing us has neared the Desolate Area world. There is no point in me hiding.”

Though he had expected this, Qin Yu still froze and looked horrified as he heard it.

“How can that be!”

According to what the little blue lamp said earlier, even though the person chasing them had made a move, he still had time.

How much time had passed since then?

The little blue lamp said, “You are unlucky. The other person holding onto the fragments found two guides.”He sounded impatient.

“And these two people both have karma relationships with you…if not, it would not have been so easy to locate you.”

Qin Yu took a deep breath and suppressed the tremors in his heart, “It is useless to talk about it further. More importantly, how can we deal with it?”

The little blue lamp fell silent.

Qin Yu gritted his teeth, “How much longer.”

“Anytime.”

“What is my chance of winning?”

“Not even one percent.”

Qin Yu wanted to curse!

He was the Barbarian King, the one that millions of barbarians worshipped. He had even convinced the ancient people and the Demon Clan. He had even managed to get the cultivation method for the Incense Great Dao after arguing with Floor Master…everything seemed to be going well until this happened.

The sky was falling!

What was the point of everything he had done?

“I can’t believe it!” He roared and gritted his teeth, “I have been in many life-threatening battles and slowly made it till today.

“Now you are telling me that some masked man I have never met before is about to appear in the Desolate Area and kill me, reducing everything I have done to nothing…I can’t believe it!”

Qin Yu was determined as his tone was fierce, “I will not just wait to die!”

The little blue lamp was silent for a while before he said, “Qin Yu, death is not your only option. Otherwise I would not have helped you convince the Demon Clan and awakened to help you fight.

“But for now, you cannot do anything but wait.”

Qin Yu said in a low voice, “Wait for what?”

The little blue lamp said, “Wait for an incident to happen.”

At this moment, the little blue lamp suddenly looked up.

Qin Yu’s heart shrank as he felt a horrifying threat.

The murderous aura shook the heavens and was even colder than the coldest winter day!

In an instant, Qin Yu’s body was frozen.

The little blue lamp suddenly said, “It is now…the incident has arrived!”

Far away in the Bounded Void Space, Scarlet Sky and Qiu were leading the way. Suddenly, both of them looked happy as they sensed the aura coming from the Desolate Area.

They pointed, “Lord, we have arrived!”

An illusion with shadows all around, which was Heavenly Center, looked up in the direction the both of them pointed to. There was a profound look in his eyes as they seemed to cut through endless space and allowed him to look into the Desolate Area. In the next moment, he accurately located the position of the Blazing Sun Fragment.

Heavenly Center smiled softly and took a step out, cutting through space and appearing in the Desolate Area. He was going to kill this person and get the Blazing Sun Fragment. He would then become the ninth Blazing Sun in this world!

But at this moment, he frowned slightly and stopped moving. He looked up. The Sea of Confusion in the Bounded Void Space was extremely chaotic. It seemed to defy time and space and the rules were all broken, leaving only chaos.

But right at this moment, numerous rules gathered beside Soft Peach and formed an illusion of a world.

Roar roar –

The roars were silent but fear grew from the shift in that world.

Today, Soft Peach stepped across the Bounded Void Space and entered the Sea of Confusion…she brought the world!

She looked calm.

Heavenly Center took a deep breath, “Who are you?”

Soft Peach shook her head, “That is not important.”

She clenched her fist in front of her.

“What is important is that you cannot enter the Desolate Area now. Otherwise the birth of the new Blazing Sun will be too boring.”

Boom –

The world illusion was released and it was like the mouth a huge beast, swallowing this area of the void! In the next moment, the world illusion shrunk rapidly and crazily. It collapsed until it was just a dot.

Soft Peach opened her mouth and swallowed this world. She sighed softly.

She took a step out and walked deeper into the void.

“Qin Yu, this is all I can do to help you.

“You must do well.”

Soft Peach looked back once more at the Desolate Area and sighed softly before smiling.

Woosh –

She disappeared.

As Soft Peach disappeared, the horror that Qin Yu had felt also disappeared.

The little blue lamp said, “Qin Yu, you have time again. You have to cherish it and cultivate the Incense Great Dao…this is the only way you can win.”

Qin Yu took a deep breath, “What happened?”

The little blue lamp hesitated slightly, “Someone helped you to block the other user who holds the other fragments from descending. He was sent into the Sea of Confusion again.”

“Who?”

The little blue lamp was silent.

Qin Yu took a deep breath, “At this point, I almost died just now. Are you not prepared to tell me everything?”

The little blue lamp shook his head, “It is not me. They are the ones that are unwilling.”

“Qin Yu, there are some things that I cannot tell you even though I know. You have to find out for yourself and make the decision.”

Woosh –

The illusion of the huge sun disappeared and the sound of the air breaking could be heard.

Qin Yu looked serious.

Though the little blue lamp did not say much, he had given him a hint. Them…there was just a thin paper left. It was almost clear!

Was it Rourou and the Ruler? Who were they? And what decision did Qin Yu have to make?

Without an answer, Qin Yu could feel a pressure…it was like a heavy mountain sitting on his chest, making it hard to breathe!

After a very long time, Qin Yu took a deep breath and suppressed his emotions.

Only by living could he find out the answer. If not, none of this mattered. After experiencing the aura from the user that crossed the world, Qin Yu could once again feel the stark difference.

Incense Great Dao was his only chance!

“Little blue lamp, don’t rush to leave. I won’t ask again.” Qin Yu spoke in a low voice, “Are there any problems with the method Floor Master gave me to cultivate Incense Great Dao?”

There was a moment of silence before the little blue lamp spoke, “No.”

Qin Yu lifted his head and his eyes lit up.

Increase his number of believers and collect incense.

Suppress strong cultivators and make them submit to him, gaining their faith.

Increase the power of the Incense Spirit Qin Yû and he would cultivate Incense Great Dao faster.

Three ways.

Only a child would make a choice. Qin Yu wanted all of them!

The Desolate Area world was split into the Barbarian and Desolate Clan. It was impossible for Qin Yu to grow his number of believers in the current conquest of the barbarians.

He had to temporarily forgo this.

And there was a risk in trying to convince strong cultivators because Emperor Qin was watching him closely, waiting for Qin Yu to reveal himself before killing him.

So to Qin Yu, the best choice was the third one.

Qin Yû was formed from the World’s Spirit Embryo and was of extremely high quality. He was a true child of the world. Increasing his quality using the Heaven and Earth Origin was undoubtedly the best choice.

But it was not easy to get Heaven and Earth Origin.

As soon as the thought flowed in his mind, the little blue lamp spoke, “A living world will never allow living creatures to take its origin. There will definitely be Heavenly Punishment.”

Qin Yu raised his brows, “There are dead worlds?”

“Of course, everything can die.”

“Where can I find one.”

“On the other side of the ocean.”

An image appeared in Qin Yu’s mind. Ships stranded along the shoreline over a majestic and endless ocean.

It was the migration of the Barbarian Clan. Lucky ones managed to escape into the Desolate Area and that was how the battle between the Barbarian Clan and the Desolate Clan could happen after so many years.

The other side of the ocean. It was…the human cultivators!
