Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 1778 – Own Problem

“Speak in a clearer manner.”

White Feifei’s voice was calm, “In conclusion, it is very simple – kill True Kings and refine their Great Dao to steal their cultivation!” She raised her hand, “The reason why I said that others will not be able to take the same path as you is because Rourou has already opened this path for you.

“The real name of Toad Skill is Bright Moon and Star Skill. It absorbs heaven and earth spiritual energy greedily and it increases your cultivation rapidly. It is a means of stealing, but just this technique alone is not enough. Otherwise, the way to become a True King is too easy.

“The key thing lies in the sun and moon revolving in your soul space. They are very similar to the real silhouettes of the sun and moon and with my help, you can refine your True King Great Dao and forcefully steal others’ cultivation. This is how you can rapidly strengthen yourself!”

Hunt True Kings and steal their Great Dao to supplement his own.

This idea was truly mad!

Only White Feifei, a Longevity Species, would be able to guess what Rourou was creating.

Qin Yu’s mind spun quickly. He could confirm that this was what Rourou wanted.

She wanted Qin Yu to temporarily ‘borrow’ the strength to fight a True King.

This was so that he could walk on this journey.

Did the little blue lamp know about this?

It was highly probable he knew.

Otherwise, Rourou alone probably would not have been able to prepare the sun and moon in his soul space.

This also meant that they had all agreed to this for Qin Yu.

Sucking in a breath, Qin Yu said, “Alright! But I will not harm the innocent – that is my bottom line.”

White Feifei rolled her eyes to herself. It was an urgent moment; what bottom line was he talking about?

He truly was not afraid of death!

“Of course, My Lord, everything you say shall work out. Besides, I believe that you have a number of candidates you can choose. Such as the ancient people, those bastards who should have been driven to their graves a long time ago. They were quite rude to you before.

“Also, the Qin Empire. With your current identity, you have nothing to be afraid of. Just kill True Kings as they come. Steal their Great Dao and your cultivation will improve step by step. Very soon, you will be able to enter the King realm. We can brainstorm ideas for how to strengthen you after that.”

White Feifei sounded excited.

Qin Yu shot her a glance, “The Qin Empire is suppressing your remnant body parts?”

White Feifei was surprised but she looked at Qin Yu, “Mm…this…My Lord, you must understand that I have been thinking of you in everything I have done. Of course, I would not lie to your face but facts are the facts.”

She made a thumbs up, “My Lord, you are wise!”

“Stop sucking up to me!” Qin Yu made a ‘hmph’ sound. No wonder White Feifei took so much initiative. Yet, Qin Yu was not angry at her for this.

That was because both of them were balancing on the same tightrope now.

If White Feifei’s strength could return to her completely, it would be helpful to him.

As for whether White Feifei would play some tricks behind his back...

Hmph hmph!

Qin Yu was not scared.

The little blue lamp had hidden its aura, but when the critical moment came, wouldn’t he step in?

As long as little blue lamp stepped forward, White Feifei would be crushed!

She probably knew this as well. Therefore, unless she lost her mind, she would not play such tricks on Qin Yu.

“We have set the tone for the main things but the details need to depend on the situation. Right now, we cannot infuriate the Qin Empire.”

Qin Yu was resolute and decisive with this.

He was not going to be swayed.

Nonsense, could he infuriate the Qin Empire? Don’t you know the elite True Kings from the four sects and families, the Demon Clan and the ancient people?

All of them were respectful to the Qin Empire and no one dared to piss them off. This point alone showed how strong the Qin Empire was.

His good relationship with the Qin Empire was fake and the national advisor had also schemed against him in the dark. However, he should endure what he ought to.

White Feifei resentfully said, “My Lord, you are too careful despite your current identity.”

“The more cautious I am, the longer I will live.”

Qin Yu paused for a moment and he could not help smirking at himself, “I am not afraid of you laughing at me but I am truly more afraid to die now.”

After a moment of pondering, White Feifei said, “No one is afraid of death. It is not embarassing.”

Qin Yu shook his head, “Forget it, let’s go.”

He turned around, stepped forward, and directly returned to Blue Dragon Mountains.

He appeared at Dragon Head Mountain, where that clan’s ancestral shrine used to be.

The mountain within the mountain had shattered and there were only ruins where the ancestral shrine originally was.

There was no one here!

The members from that clan who Qin Yu spared had fled.

No matter how strong the wild fire burns, as long as the spring wind blows again, wild grass would continue to grow. At this point of his cultivation journey, Qin Yu understood this logic well.

He had allowed those people to leave because they were destined to die.

It was only a matter of time.

Seven was different from him. She had lived in that clan for her whole life and Qin Yu would not believe that she had no feelings for them.

Compared to making her more sad, Qin Yu was willing to make the men from that clan suffer pain that was worse than death.

He waved his sleeve and swept the ruins of the ancestral shrine from that clan aside.

Qin Yu arrived at the wilted ancient scholartree and he lifted his head to look at the sky.

He recalled when he first ‘met’ that Blue Dragon, the incarnation of heaven and earth spirit of fate. It seemed like it had been waiting for Qin Yu all along. When Qin Yu came, it had directly merged into Qin Yu’s body.

The reason?

Qin Yu never felt like it was destiny.

There was going to be an explanation for this!

Qin Yu came here to try and find the truth.

Where was he different? What could make heaven and earth fate wait for him?

It was a pity that Qin Yu spent an hour using his divine senses to sweep through Blue Dragon Mountains but he found nothing.

However, he did not return empty-handed.

Shoosh –

Taking a step forward, Qin Yu vanished. He reappeared on a wild plain.

In front of him were two bags of soil that were comfortably nestling against each other.

Wild grass grew all over their surface and there was even a family of birds that had chosen this place for its home.

They had bright, colorful feathers and long beaks. They glared at the unexpected guest and showed some unease and panic.

When Qin Yu’s eyes landed on them, two birds flapped their wings and covered their nest.

Qin Yu immediately knew what they were protecting.

Because there were two small heads beneath their wings.

So they were protecting their children.

At this moment, Qin Yu suddenly felt his heart ache and he stared at the two bags of soil.

He took a step back and kneeled, bowing at them.

Once, twice, thrice.

Qin Yu stood up.

Actually, he did not have many memories of his parents.

Nonetheless, they were the ones who brought him into this world.

After some silence, Qin Yu said, “Father, Mother, I didn’t expect to have found your graves so I came alone today.

“My sister is alright but I do not remember her name. So I called her Seven and she will also use my surname, Qin.

“I have sought revenge for you. If you learn about this from below, I hope that you two can rest in peace now.”

He looked at the bags of soil on the ground and the bird nest there.

He turned to leave.

He was not going to do anything and the birds could continue living here.

Shoosh –

Qin Yu’s figure appeared at the edge of the Starry Heavenly World.

He stepped forward and disappeared.

He had thought of another way to investigate his own problem.

……

A group of cultivators were on the move.

Each of them was as white as a sheet and there was undeniable fear in their eyes.

They were the members from that clan who had escaped from the Starry Heavenly World.

After the initial anger, they quickly discovered the problem.

Their life force was dying!

Furthermore, as time passed, it was becoming quicker.

The aura of death overshadowed all of them and those who originally cried out loud and demanded revenge against Qin Yu were now silent.

Like White Feifei said, no one was fearless of death in this world!

Those from that clan were not an exception.

“Elders, what should we do?” One of the cultivators from that clan asked anxiously.

He had asked the critical question that weighed on everyone’s minds.

Silence filled the air.

Eyes gathered from all directions and they were filled with despair and a desperate desire to live.

The group of elders were silent and this silence inevitably showed their plight.

The eyes that gathered over got darker.

Dead silence in the area! action

“The reason why our life force is depleting is because our identity of the heaven and earth spirit of fate was stolen and this is the backlash that we received.” An elder from that clan suddenly spoke, “If we want to live, our only way is to kill Qin Yu and retrieve the identity of heaven and earth spirit of fate!”

Another elder nodded, “That’s right, that is the only way. Otherwise, all of us will die when our life force fully depletes.”

“Damn it! Opening Heavens Sword Sect Qin Yu must have known what would happen to us and he still acted generously to let us go!”

“We must kill him! We must kill him and retrieve the identity of heaven and earth spirit of fate!”

“My clan will not perish!”

Shouts and roars filled the air.

All of a sudden.

Ptui –

There was a hollow sound. One of the elders from that clan who looked the most violent and who seemed to want to devour Qin Yu went limp.

Fresh blood spurted out and shot high into the air.

On the rolling head on the ground, others could see his eyes bulged wide open and filled with fear and horror.

Slap –

A foot stopped the head from rolling.

Qin Yu wore a straight face as he scanned the crowd, “Awesome. You want to kill me and retrieve the identity of heaven and earth spirit of fate.”

“Qin Yu!”

There was a sharp cry as the faces of members from that clan filled with shock and they unconsciously backed off.

Qin Yu’s eyes were cold, “What? Aren’t you going to continue shouting? I am here already, why aren’t you attacking me?”

“Qin Yu! Are you going against your words?” One of the elders from that clan accused, “You promised to let us off.”

Boom –

He was instantly sliced in half by a sword aura!

The smell of blood was pungent.

Qin Yu said, “I also told you all not to appear before me again.” He scanned the crowd, “But now, you are all here.”
