Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 1763 – A – Opportunity

That clan’s Heavenly World. Blue Dragon Mountains.

Bull Bean was still unconscious. To prevent her from exposing anything and being found out, Qin Yu had no choice but to render her unconscious.

Number 327 was in charge of taking care of Bull Bean.

As for Qin Yu, of course he was making the preparations to ‘break through to become a True King’.

He had already gotten the skill from that clan’s leader which allowed him to gain control of heaven and earth fate.

However, the problem was that he was just using breaking through as an excuse.

Therefore, no matter what that clan’s leader did to this incomparably mysterious technique of controlling heaven and earth fate, it was bound to be in vain.

And Qin Yu was only preparing for one goal. He was going to pull the carpet from underneath them, and seize that clan’s identity of owning the manifestation of heaven and earth fate!

Without this identity, that clan was going to truly reach the end of their road!

……

“Clan Leader, why did you agree to help Qin Yu break through to become a True King?” An elder from that clan was filled with worry. “Even though this person has signed a contract with our clan, he is not from our clan after all. His intentions are unknown!

“Furthermore, Blue Dragon Mountains is where our clan’s foundations lie. If any accidents happen because you let Qin Yu enter, the consequences would be unthinkable!”

The other elders nodded their heads in agreement.

“What he said is right.”

“This is precisely what I was worried about.”

“Clan Leader, please think twice about this.”

That clan’s leader swept his gaze across all the elders.

Instantly, they went silent.

He said slowly, “Since I’ve already agreed to let Qin Yu enter our Heavenly World to break through into the King realm, naturally, I’ve made the necessary preparations.”

“Clan Leader, are you saying that you have already prepared some countermeasures?”

That clan’s clan leader nodded his head, “That’s right. A price must be paid for using our clan’s luck to become a True King. Don’t worry, if Qin Yu succeeds, he is destined to be under our clan’s control. In the future, it will be hard for him to have a turn-around!

“And if he fails…” That clan’s clan leader’s eyes shone, “That would be the best outcome.”

If he failed at breaking through to become a True King, he would definitely suffer from a backlash.

When that happened, they would not have to be afraid of him escaping because he was in their Heavenly World. Then, taking the remnant body in the Eternal realm that was in Qin Yu’s hands would be extremely easy.

Therefore, whether or not Qin Yu broke through to the King realm did not matter to that clan!

Of course, regarding the remnant body in the Eternal realm, only that clan’s leader knew about it.

He had not told anyone else.

It was a huge and important secret, so there could not be any accidents no matter what. He could not be too cautious about this.

“Clan Leader, you are wise!”

The elders all smiled.

……

Great Qin’s capital.

Lord National Advisor was summoned into the palace.

This time, he had only waited for a while before he was called to meet with Emperor Qin.

Having been a subject for so long, the national advisor knew what His Majesty’s personality was like.

His Majesty was unhappy with what he did previously.

The national advisor was not anxious and he greeted calmly, “Greetings, Your Majesty.”

Emperor Qin said, “I’ve kept National Advisor waiting.”

The national advisor smiled and replied, “Your Majesty is the ruler of this world, it is only right that I wait for a bit.”

“Hmph! It’s been a long time since I’ve heard National Advisor bootlicking.” There was a hint of a smile on Emperor Qin’s face as he continued, “Take a seat and pour a cup of tea for yourself.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty.” The national advisor sat down and poured a cup of tea for himself. After drinking two sips, he said, “Your Majesty, I can somewhat guess what you are thinking of.”

“Tell me, National Advisor.”

“Great Qin has no need for a swordsman that is in the King realm or True King realm.”

Emperor Qin pointed a few times at him and said, “Since you know what I’m thinking, why didn’t you act in my interests? That clan is basically a rootless duckweed; it is only a matter of time before they die out. I don’t wish to have another True King swordsman that can affect my rule of Great Qin popping up after I’ve just eliminated them.”

The national advisor felt a bit helpless. His Majesty’s words were a bit shameless. It was you who had run out of patience with that clan, which was why I took over this matter, and now you are saying these words to me instead.

Of course, he kept these thoughts inside of him because he could not say them out loud. His emperor was not one who was very forgiving or tolerant.

“Your Majesty, rest assured. Nothing like that will happen.” The national advisor looked left and right and added, “All of you are dismissed. I have some things that I would like to say to His Majesty alone.”

The servants in the palace had gotten used to the national advisor’s orders. Seeing that His Majesty did not protest, they all bowed respectfully before they retreated.

“National Advisor, say it.”

“His Majesty, I’ve already investigated this matter. Qin Yu said that that clan trusts him because of that lady who was suppressed.”

Whoosh –

The hall was suddenly silent.

Emperor Qin said, “It seems that, as expected, the Sword Prison in Swallow Mountain was one of the sealing locations.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.” The national advisor continued, “Qin Yu and that clan tried to open the seal to obtain the secrets of the Eternal realm, but they are just seeking death. Therefore, Your Majesty, you do not have to worry too much. There definitely will not be another True King swordsman in this world.”

Emperor Qin nodded his head, “Yes. Since this is the case, I won’t question you any more.”

The hall fell into silence once again.

The interrogation between the ruler and his subject had already ended, but the national advisor did not get up and leave yet. His Majesty had also silently agreed to him staying behind.

Though no one said anything, both of them knew in their hearts.

In the end, it was Emperor Qin who made the decision. Calmly, he said, “National Advisor, keep an eye on this matter.”

The national advisor got up and bowed, “Yes, Your Majesty.”

No one else knew exactly what these two simple sentences meant.

The secrets of the Eternal realm involved the transformation into a Longevity Species. Now that they knew about this, who could really be indifferent towards it?

……

Sky Cow Area, Sky Cow City.

Bull Dingtian sat still without a word.

To be frank, the fact that things had gotten to this stage meant that they had diverged from their original plan a long time ago.

He never would have thought that apart from that being, Qin Yu had actually gotten involved with this person too.

He had committed a huge sin!

If Bull Dingtian knew that this was the case, he would rather have tried to endure it than choose to work together with Qin Yu, and as a result, he was now involved in this matter as well.

Heavenly punishment, this was his heavenly punishment!

Whenever he thought about this, his heart started to tremble and a bitter taste formed in his mouth.

The worst thing was that he had already lost the chance to retreat since things had already gotten to this stage.

Otherwise, what would happen to Bull Bean?

The only form of consolation to Bull Dingtian was the fact that Rourou was on Qin Yu’s side.

With her around, even if it was a heavenly punishment, she would be able to resist it. Even in the worst case scenario, she would not go down easily.

He reached up and rubbed his face vigorously. Then, he released a very long sigh.

Whether it was a blessing or a curse, or whether he could avoid this disaster, was up to his fate.

……

Blue Dragon Mountains.

Number 327, who had taken care of Bull Bean according to Qin Yu’s orders, did not have much to do. She rested her face on her hands and started to daydream.

After a while, for some reason she got up, pushed the door open, and walked out.

This was a small courtyard that was built in the mountains. There were many courtyards like this one here.

They were places for the elders and some talented disciples from that clan to live in and also to cultivate in.

Number 327 managed to find Qin Yu very easily, because in these few days, he did not seem like he was making the preparations to break through into the King realm at all.

Every day, he was either daydreaming in the courtyard or lying on the roof, watching the mountains around him rise and fall.
