Refining the Mountains and Rivers

It was actually a rather easy decision to make. They had already persevered for eight months, so what did it matter if they waited for a few more days? If they condensed World Origin in advance because they were impatient, causing them to be unable to reach enlightenment, the nine Dao Masters would definitely find this outcome unacceptable. Of course, Qin Yu had to mask his advance as a retreat, and this was a good strategy. By leaving the choice to these nine Dao Masters, he got his most desired outcome.

“Luo Guan, we can wait for a while longer until the Ninerealms are fully recovered,” First Dao Master said slowly. No one objected, which showed that they were all in agreement with what he said. Then, he continued, “However, you must at least give us an approximate deadline. This cannot drag on indefinitely.”

Qin Yu lifted his index finger up and said, “One month. The Ninerealms will be fully recovered in at most one month. By then, I promise that the nine Dao Masters will be able to get an outcome all of you are satisfied with.”

“Good! Then we will wait for one more month!” First Dao Master said decisively and his sharp eyes looked at Qin Yu. “Luo Guan, you’d better not disappoint us.”

“Rest assured, Dao Masters.” Qin Yu cupped his hands and turned to leave. One month was not a lot of time, but it was enough for him to get used to his newfound explosive power after igniting his Incense Great Dao. He also bought time for the little blue lamp to make some changes to their future plans because Qin Yu had ignited his incense power earlier than expected.

This was reality. After all, in this world, there was no such thing as a perfect and flawless plan…even if such a perfect plan existed, it would require continuous fine-tuning and adjustment in accordance with changing circumstances in order for it to be maintained at its most optimal state.

“Is one month enough time?” Qin Yu asked in a low voice.

The little blue lamp’s voice rang out in his head, “To go against all nine Dao Masters, even a year would not be enough to guarantee a victory. There will be some risks involved no matter what, but since you’ve managed to ignite your Incense Great Dao, your chances of succeeding have increased by quite a lot. Even if an accident happens in the end, you will be able to escape unscathed.”

Qin Yu pondered for a while before he said, “Both you and I know that if our plan against White Jade Capital fails, whether or not I can escape is not important. Therefore, we must win this time. We must swallow all nine White Jade Capitals!”

“We’ll give it a go,” The little blue lamp said softly. His voice was calm, but Qin Yu knew that the little blue lamp was just as nervous at this moment. There was not just one Blazing Sun Fragment, but in the end, there could only be one Blazing Sun. If Qin Yu failed, the little blue lamp would end up being swallowed. Both he and the little blue lamp were on the brink of destruction in this battle. Neither of them could afford to fail!

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

In his quarters, Qin Yu opened both his eyes. A brilliance shone in them before they returned to calmness. At this moment, he was at his peak condition. His heart raced slightly in his chest, and with every heartbeat, power was released.

“Are you ready?”

Buzz –

The Great Sun Illusion appeared, showing the little blue lamp’s blurry figure. He looked at Qin Yu and said, “Persevere and stay alive.” There were going to be huge changes in the current situation and the little blue lamp had to prepare himself to mobilize all of his strength to succeed in their plans.

Therefore, the little blue lamp was unable to help Qin Yu.

This also meant that Qin Yu had to rely on his own strength for the most dangerous segment of the plan. He had no other choice. And Qin Yu was prepared for this a long time ago. He smiled and said, “Rest assured, I’ve always been really lucky. Furthermore, I am now the Desolate World’s spirit of fate.

The little blue lamp did not say anything much and the Great Sun Illusion disappeared.

Qin Yu breathed out slowly and with a wave of his sleeve, he opened the doors and flew into the skies, arriving at the main hall.

“Luo Guan, come in!” First Dao Master’s voice rang out, and there was a hint of exhaustion that could not be concealed. In the past one month, the nine White Jade Capitals had a hard time persevering. It was only after they squeezed the various nations again that they managed to somewhat scrape together enough supplies for themselves. Despite their gains, they also had to exhaust much of their own energy reserves.

Qin Yu stepped into the main hall and cupped his hands, “Greetings, Dao Masters. I came to fulfill my promise to all of you. I will condense World Origin today.”

Though the nine Dao Masters were extremely respectable figures, when they heard what Qin Yu said, their eyes could not help but light up and their faces were also full of anticipation. It was because they had given too much in these nine months and something like this had not happened before. Apart from this, having a complete World Origin meant that they would be able to reach enlightenment…the World realm that they had been after for so long was finally in their sights and within their reach!

No one could keep calm.

“Luo Guan, go do it and do it carefully. If everything goes well, I will fulfill all the promises I made to you,” Seventh Dao Master said slowly. He looked at Qin Yu with an imperceptible gaze.

Ninth Dao Master added, “Do not delay this matter any more. I’ve waited too long for this day!” He glanced at Qin Yu and did not say anything much.

First Dao Master nodded, “Then let’s begin!”

Qin Yu said in a low voice, “Dao Masters, please hand over your World Hearts. They will be used as the core to begin the condensation of World Origin.” He raised his arm and grabbed outwards. The Ninerealm Token appeared and the space started to vibrate violently.

Buzz –

Buzz –

In the great hall, the space around the nine World Hearts that had been extracted started to shrink and expand continuously, like a real heart that was beginning to beat.

The nine Dao Masters’ eyes began to light up, because at this moment, the changes in the World Hearts signified that World Origin was beginning to condense!

……

In the formerly sealed icy world, where the Sky Spirit Clan was.

An enormous altar had been erected on the ground and within a thousand-mile radius, every obstacle had been cleared such that there was a huge white space.

All of the living Sky Spirit Clan members in this world were gathered here. Like devout worshippers, they knelt on the ground facing the altar.

Suddenly, a deafening sound came from above them and the skies darkened.

Swoosh –

The winds had picked up!

The sand surged into the air violently and pebbles on the ground started rolling. All of the Sky Spirit Clan members felt fear in their hearts which they could not suppress. It was as if something terrifying was happening, as if a big mouth had appeared to swallow all of them whole!

Rumble –

The darkened sky above them started to shatter, and then the earth began to shake violently. It was as if a catastrophe was coming without any warnings and the whole world was going to be destroyed.

“Everyone, do not be afraid. Our savior, the supreme ruler, has given his will to us in advance. We just need to stay here at the altar and offer our most sincere prayers and faith to him, and nothing will happen to us! Therefore, now, everyone, let’s continue to pray that the ruler will be able to protect us,” One of the clan leaders exclaimed.

And with the way that things were progressing, that clan leader’s words were confirmed. Even though the world in front of them was collapsing, the thousand-mile radius around the altar was completely unaffected. Even if the sky was falling, the earth was cracking and the wind was blowing fiercely, it was unable to hurt them in the slightest. This gave peace to the uneasy Sky Spirit Clan members, who now prayed even more piously.

And at this moment, similar scenes took place in other locations in the Ninerealms.

The Sea Spirit Clan, who lived in the Sea World beneath a giant altar, opened their eyes and looked around them. The sea was raging like a furious beast. They did not know why this was happening, but thankfully, the altar had summoned all of the sea clans to this place three months ago. This meant that it had expected such a disaster to happen from the beginning.

According to the altar, this was an inevitable war started by the supreme ruler in order to regain control, resulting in this scene that looked like doomsday was approaching. However, as long as they stayed within the territory of the altar, they would not be affected. When the supreme ruler won his battle, the sea would be completely tamed. Then, everyone from the Sea Spirit Clan would be able to continue living here.

In the Forest World, the Forest Spirit Clan gathered at the altar that was formed by millions of big trees. The outside world had already turned a crimson color that was reminiscent of lava. Ever since the sky turned red, the ground was set ablaze too. The rivers dried up, revealing cracked river channels. Plants withered, leaving only dust behind. All life was destroyed.

Countless members of the Forest Spirit Clan looked at this doomsday scene that seemed to only exist in legends with wide and fearful eyes. Thankfully, the power that the altar released kept them safe. For the time being, they were not affected.

“Powerful savior and supreme ruler, you must win this battle. We are counting on you with our lives,” a Forest Spirit Clan member who was wearing a luxurious robe raised up the scepter in his hands and said, “Everyone, let’s offer our most sincere prayers to our supreme ruler. He will protect us from this catastrophe and bring about new life!”

……

Power of faith flooded in, becoming more endless and pure under the doomsday circumstances. It integrated with Qin Yu’s Great Dao, causing the Incense Flame to burn even more vigorously and release stronger power.

That’s right, the most direct consequence of using the World Hearts as a medium to steal and swallow World Origin was the shattering of the Ninerealms! This was the reason why all living beings in the Ninerealms were seeing such terrifying doomsday scenes in front of them.

Boom –

A terrifying aura erupted and the restriction spell on the main hall was activated. However, the light rays shone only for a moment before the power of the restriction spell was completely destroyed. The main hall was destroyed, shattering into countless pieces, and a terrifying power blasted in all directions.

Seventh Dao Master frowned slightly. He could already hear a few of his subordinates crying out in fear and hopelessness, and these were their last cries before they died. However, the Dao Masters could no longer be bothered about these things.

This was because World Origin was condensing!

The World Hearts were like gushing water streams. At every moment, a large amount of World Origin was spurting from them and accumulating on the surface of the World Hearts. It was as if new suns were being condensed.

That’s right, suns!

This was because World Origin was originally a small light spot. Now that there were endless light spots gathering together, it was like an enormous ball that gave out light. Therefore, it was not an exaggeration to say that new suns were being created.

These suns contained endless world power, which was the most important thing for the human cultivation system. The nine Dao Masters could borrow this power to break through their cultivation bottlenecks and achieve the World realm!

It was within their reach!

“All White Jade Capital cultivators, leave right away!” Seventh Dao Master ordered, his voice thundering across the nine heavens.

This was the only thing he could do before he had to channel his focus on these huge suns above him.

World Origin was still accumulating continuously. The huge suns became more and more solid and full, which caused them to give out even more light.

Soon! Very soon!

Once these huge suns were completely condensed, the nine Dao Masters could completely refine and swallow them, bringing them to the World realm.

“Run!”

“Quick, leave White Jade Capital!”

“Suns, nine suns!”

“Ah!”

The seventh White Jade Capital was now riddled with holes, essentially turning into a wasteland.

As more and more World Origin condensed, at this moment, it was like nine true suns had descended. Not to mention their terrifying aura, just the scorching heat that was being released was enough to burn any cultivators below the King realm into ashes!

Right now, in the vast territory governed by the human cultivation system, countless people looked up to the skies with widened eyes. It was where White Jade Capital was located, a legendary place and a holy land that every human cultivator looked up to.

Now, there were nine suns that appeared at the same time in White Jade Capital. The light produced by these suns lit up the entire world, giving off an aura that made everyone feel fearful in their hearts.

“Was this the reason why the White Jade Capital spent more than half a year accumulating cultivation resources?” A middle-aged man wearing a dragon robe in a huge imperial city commented. He stood on the city walls and looked at the faraway nine suns. His eyes narrowed slightly and there was a heavy expression on his face.

On top of a tall mountain, a daoist waved his sleeve to dissipate the clouds and fog. When he looked at the nine suns, he seemed to be taken aback.

“Nine World Origins are almost complete…” He mumbled to himself, his voice slightly trembling, filled with disbelief.

However, very quickly, this daoist’s gaze became fiery.

World Origin was not only important to the nine Dao Masters. Every powerful cultivator of the human cultivation system longed to possess it, just that a huge portion of World Origin was being monopolized by the nine White Jade Capitals.

And now, nine complete World Origins that were as bright as suns appeared in front of them. Who would not be moved by this?

More importantly, if he did not do anything today, then the nine White Jade Capitals would truly become the supreme rulers of the human cultivation system. No one would ever be able to shake their rule over the world!

In the depths of a big swamp, the ground and the mountains started to suddenly shake. A huge beast emerged and the mud continuously slid from its head. There was a calm and cold look in its eyes as it looked at the nine suns in the sky.

Roar –

Suddenly, the huge beast roared.

In the mountain village, a scholar, who had white hair and wore a white robe, finally threw away the book in his hands after having studied for countless years.

He got up and walked to the window. When he saw the nine suns that appeared, he said in a bland voice, “Seventh Dao Master, I am not somebody that you can get rid of so easily.”

Whoosh –

The scholar took one step forward and instantly disappeared.

He was none other than Cheng Haoran!

At this moment, as the nine complete World Origins descended, it created a huge commotion in the world. Those who were unwilling to let these World Origins go to White Jade Capital, or those that were ambitious, had decided to act. As mentioned earlier, this was their last chance!

If they failed, they would probably die.

However, if they did not act, they could only become turtles who hid in their shells for the rest of their lives…no, they would not even have the opportunity to become turtles. If White Jade Capital became stronger, those nine Dao Masters definitely would not let them continue to live.

In the main hall, between the nine suns, a flash of movement appeared in the depth of Qin Yu’s eyes.

It’s happening!

He had already expected that this would occur.

White Jade Capital was truly very strong and they ruled over the whole world. However, this did not mean that they faced no resistance. For example, Emperor Qin in the Desolate World was invincible too, but at the same time, there were many people who hoped that he would crumble, it was just that they did not have the opportunity to attack him.

And now that Qin Yu had condensed nine World Origins, which now looked like nine suns shining down on the world, it was a reminder to them that the opportunity they had waited for for so long was finally here.

“Hmph!” First Dao Master scoffed and an icy look appeared in his eyes. “A bunch of cowardly mice. How dare they try to act out today?”

Second Dao Master commented, “Then let’s take the opportunity to eliminate all of them right here and now.”

“Kill them!” Ninth Dao Master growled.

Boom –

Outside White Jade Capital, the space distorted. In the blink of an eye, the space became like a terrifying tide that swept outwards with a deafening roar!
