Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 1794 – Mental Projection

When the skies dispersed, the remaining space was Bounded Void Space. It was truly a void space where only endless darkness and coldness existed for eternity.

All of a sudden, darkness exploded. It turned into a massive shockwave that swept out in all directions.

Qin Yu walked out from the darkness with a calm expression. He carried the Mountains and Rivers Sword in his hand.

Shoosh –

White Feifei’s body appeared.

Pure white light illuminated her entire body and she was a ball of light in the darkness.

“My Lord, Emperor Qin is in the Desolate Area. You cannot take action there as you will be discovered easily.

“We can only find a chance in the Bounded Void Space. Although there is no evidence of life here, there are many opportunities accumulated over many years.

“We can release our aura voluntarily. It will act as a bait to lure them over.”

Qin Yu nodded, “Alright.”

He stepped forward.

White Feifei said, “There is a low possibility of being discovered at the boundary of the Bounded Void Space. Our best option is to head deeper.

“The divine nation has been awakened and the Barbarian Mark is in the Desolate Area. This would be a location marker for you. With it, we can go deep into the Bounded Void Space without worry of getting lost.

“However the location marker does not mean we can lie comfortably on a pillow without worry. My Lord, you still have to be careful and you have to periodically check your connection with your divine nation. If it becomes too weak, we have to retreat. Otherwise, there is a possibility of falling into the Sea of Confusion that is deep within the Bounded Void Space. Then, you will be lost forever and you will never find your way back.”

Qin Yu replied with a straight face, “I understand.”

White Feifei fell silent as she floated beside Qin Yu. Yet, her facial muscles were stiff. Even as a Longevity Species, the Bounded Void Space was not familiar to her.

Furthermore, this place was like the mouth of a beast. Over so many years, it had devoured countless powerful cultivators. Even Longevity Species could get lost in the Bounded Void Space and never return.

It was hard to confirm the ultimate outcome of them. Nonetheless, this did not influence the attitude that later cultivators had towards Bounded Void Space.

Because of this, White Feifei sucked in a breath before she informed Qin Yu of the necessary precautions.

His luck was not good. After a long while of traveling in the Bounded Void Space, Qin Yu could sense that his connection with his divine nation was rapidly weakening. Although he was still traveling in an area where the connection was kept alive, at this rate, his connection to the divine nation would break off soon.

Nonetheless, nothing had happened so far and there was still silence in the Bounded Void Space.

Qin Yu’s eyes flew towards White Feifei but she only wore a helpless expression, “My Lord, you have to believe. When the weakened aura of a Longevity Species is leaked out, it is an enticing bait. This is especially so for powerful existences who are in a desperate situation. I assure you that when they smell my scent, they will pounce over like mad men.”

Simply put – your luck is terrible.

Qin Yu frowned but he was still calm, “Then let’s continue forward.”

White Feifei nodded but she could not help it as worry etched across her face. After all, Qin Yu was now the heaven and earth spirit of fate for the Desolate Area.

No one could be luckier than him in this world. However, Qin Yu did not appear too lucky now…

This was not normal.

After four hours, Qin Yu stopped. He was silent but White Feifei knew that he was at his limit.

If they continued forward, they would be in danger of getting lost!

In fact, he had already exceeded her expectations by walking till this point. The connection he had with his divine nation was stronger than she thought.

Nonetheless, this was an unavoidable outcome.

There was a look of disappointment on Qin Yu’s face.

After thinking for a while, White Feifei said, “My Lord, do you want to turn around? We might get lucky.”

Qin Yu shook his head, “I have a feeling that we would just be wasting time by turning around.” He looked forward and stared into the deep part of the Bounded Void Space, “Let’s continue.”

White Feifei said, “My Lord, this is too risky. What if we…”

Qin Yu interrupted, “It is alright…”

He closed his eyes and made a mental thought.

Far away in the Desolate Area, everyone in Qin Yu’s Vast Brightness World divine nation felt the will of their powerful ruler.

High priests were highly agitated and they knelt on the ground and kissed the ground, “Every believer, our ruler needs our help now; he needs our faith to point him in the right direction. He has to cross endless worlds and descend to our world successfully.

“Now is the time for us to pay respects and show our utmost faith to our ruler. We must light up the entire divine nation and pinpoint our location to our great ruler!”

In the divine nation, every believer knelt on the ground and started chanting.

Boom –

At this moment, the divine nation was lit up!

Shoosh –

Qin Yu’s eyes flickered open and there was light in them that seemed like invisible flames dancing around.

“Go!”

He continued.

White Feifei gritted her teeth and followed along.

“My Lord, is there something wrong…”

Qin Yu said, “Some gains and some losses.

“I have some connection with Great Qin, and Great Qin can naturally suppress the identity of the heaven and earth spirit of fate.

“It might influence me on the surface.”

White Feifei’s eyes widened, “My Lord, your luck…is not good?”

Qin Yu nodded, “It isn’t a huge issue. The further we are from the Desolate Area, the more my connection with the divine nation weakens. At the same time, the Qin Nation’s suppression on me is also decreasing.”

His eyes flashed, “My luck is taking a turn for the better.”

The moment he finished speaking.

Kaboom –

A deafening explosion approached from in front and darkness rolled forward madly. A shocking, violent aura appeared.

A gleeful look crossed White Feifei’s face, “Here!”

Qin Yu looked up and grabbed with his hand. The Mountains and Rivers Sword appeared. He had naturally sensed how cautious White Feifei was in the Bounded Void Space.

Although he was powerful, he would not drag her down.

It was right to be vigilant.

He could see it!

The one who rushed through the darkness in a frenzied manner was a white shirt man.

Shoosh –

There was still some distance between them when he stopped abruptly. He cupped his hands together and bowed, “I am Luo Guan from Waterfront World. Greetings to fellow daoist!”

His white shirt was clean and he had a handsome face. He wore a charming smile on his face.

Qin Yu’s face remained straight, “What is it?”

Luo Guan nodded, “I hope that you can give this woman to me. I will be very thankful.”

Qin Yu shook his head, “She is mine.”

White Feifei’s eyes brightened and she nodded heavily. She announced, “That’s right, I am My Lord’s woman!”

She had waited for so long to finally hear these words!

Luo Guan said, “It will not be easy for any of us to make it out of the Sea of Confusion. If I get this lady, I will be able to break through in my cultivation. I can swear that once I break through, I will lead you out of here. Please…”

He was interrupted.

Luo Guan raised his hand and clenched his fist, “Give her to me!” His white shirt started to turn filthy, rotting apart to reveal bloodstains.

His young, handsome appearance quickly turned to that of a haggard old man. His flesh and blood had rotted completely and he only had dried skin.

His mouth was open and his eyes were vicious. Looking like an evil demon that had escaped hell, he glared at Qin Yu and White Feifei.

Because…he was hungry!

It was not that his stomach was empty. Because of the decay and declining state of his body, it required life force to be replenished for him to continue living.

Therefore, he wanted both of them!

Buzz –

The Mountains and Rivers Sword buzzed. Without hesitating, Qin Yu slashed it down.

He had not let his guard down to the seemingly normal and gentle Luo Guan. After being stuck in the Sea of Confusion for many years, how was it possible for him to remain a gentleman?

Boom –

A deafening explosion came as the demon-like Luo Guan was forced back by the sword strike.

His clothes were disheveled and his flesh and exposed, together with his skinny chest. Streaks of wounds appeared across his chest but only pus flowed out and there was no blood.

Boom –

Boom –

Qin Yu’s eyes darted down and he could see Luo Guan’s beating heart through his chest.

A roar that sounded like it came from a wild animal escaped Luo Guan’s mouth. Not only did he not retreat, he pounced forward eagerly.

Even if he knew that Qin Yu’s strength was far beyond his own, he was like a puppet who had lost logical thought; he did not know pain before death!

Qin Yu’s expression was calm as he sliced with the Mountains and Rivers Sword repeatedly, creating densely packed wounds on Luo Guan’s body.

Finally, he pierced forward.

Shoosh –

His chest was pierced through and the demon-like Luo Guan’s body hung weakly on the sword. His eyes bulged wide and he stared deathly at Qin Yu. Slowly, his dried up lips quivered slightly as he struggled to speak, “Thank you…”

In the beginning, he truly wanted to eat Qin Yu and capture White Feifei. But when Luo Guan realized that he was not a match for Qin Yu, he did not run away but chose to die on the spot.

Lost in the Bounded Void Space, he lived like a corpse for many years and he did not want this to continue anymore.

So what if he ran? His suffering would only continue. Therefore, Luo Guan wanted to die at Qin Yu’s hands. At least, when he died, he was accompanied and he did not die alone.

Loneliness.

It was scarier than death!

“I am Luo Guan and I came from Waterfront World…” After his last words, his aura gradually died away.

Qin Yu said, “You don’t have to thank me…I remember it!”

Boom –

The Sunmoon Vortex descended and devoured Luo Guan’s corpse.

Qin Yu closed his eyes and sat down cross-legged.

White Feifei shook her head as a reluctant expression crossed her face. A powerful True King cultivator was forced to this point where he begged for death.

The Bounded Void Space was truly terrifying!

Two hours later, Qin Yu opened his eyes. The Sunmoon Vortex was gone and he stood up while frowning, “Luo Guan’s Great Dao was disintegrated. I managed to absorb less Great Dao than I originally expected. If this the case, I have to kill at least three True Kings to help me break through.”

White Feifei said, “Mm, it is quite troublesome. If they are all like that, we are quite safe.”

Qin Yu nodded, “Let’s continue!”

His cultivation had strengthened and his connection with the divine nation was stronger. He could continue going deeper into the Bounded Void Space. In fact, he was already in the region of the Sea of Confusion.

Actually, he had already entered it long ago.

Otherwise, Luo Guan would not have been stuck in here, unable to leave. The reason why Qin Yu could move actively in here was because his divine nation served as a lighthouse for him.

In the end, it boiled down to strength…the other ruler of a Blazing Sun Fragment. It was not guaranteed that Qin Yu would lose out in the Sea of Confusion.

The other party very possibly lacked a clear beacon. As he thought of this, Qin Yu’s heart suddenly tightened and he lifted his head to look in a direction.

There was only a stretch of darkness out there with nothing else. However, Qin Yu could feel a strong threat.

The other party was there!

As soon as Qin Yu had this thought, he shuddered and quickly suppressed it.

He should not think about it.

Since he could sense the other party’s existence, the other party was very likely to have sensed him too.

White Feifei said, “My Lord, what is wrong?”

Qin Yu was silent, but after a few moments, nothing else changed and he heaved a sigh of relief.

“It should be alright.”

White Feifei’s expression fell, “My Lord, did you sense...” She was cut off by Qin Yu’s raised hand, “Don’t think about it and don’t speak about it.” He sighed deeply, “Let’s continue.”

White Feifei nodded her head in silence but her expression turned much more serious. The other ruler of a Blazing Sun Fragment was obviously much stronger than Qin Yu.

Even she, a spectator, had sensed this and she felt extremely uneasy. If the other party descended, it would have an unimaginable outcome!

Far away in the Bounded Void Space.

Scarlet Sky and Qiu were silent as they traveled. They were gone for too long and they were lost. They could only hope that luck was on their side and they would get back on the right path.

They had not been successful so far.

The suppressing aura that came from behind was becoming stronger and they knew that that mysterious being was not happy.

Boom –

Darkness exploded and the two of them were forced out without warning. A terrifying force instantly destroyed their physical bodies and they were immediately reduced to their bones.

Their souls had almost been destroyed!

The illusionary figure’s body shuddered and as he raised his head, there was a brilliant light in his eyes. he could sense that the other ruler of a Blazing Sun Fragment was in the Bounded Void Space!

Waving his sleeve, he recalled Scarlet Sky and Qiu who were almost bombed to death. In an instant, their physical bodies recovered along with their clothes.

It was almost as if the two of them had crossed through the river of time and returned.

Grabbing onto the both of them, the illusionary figure stepped forward. Darkness exploded and turned into a shock wave that spread out in all directions.

The terrifying forces made people feel despair.

In the next moment, the illusionary figure appeared again. Even though he was in the Bounded Void Space, he had crossed through a large distance.

He could sense that the other party’s mind projection was gone. He was rather cautious.

Releasing Scarlet Sky and Qiu, he started to speak, “This area is quite close to your original world. Now, activate your sensory abilities to their full extent and do not disappoint me.”

Scarlet Sky and Qiu bowed, “Yes.”

The two of them sat down cross-legged.

It was obvious that this was their last chance. If they could not find their way back, they would die. No one wanted to die, especially them who had seen Longevity in their grasp.

A few moments later, Scarlet Sky and Qiu opened their eyes. They were beaming.

“My Lord, we have sensed him.”

“It is not very clear but if we get closer, we can confirm the direction.”

The illusionary figure burst out laughing, “Alright!”
