Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 1811 – Farm Animals

The Mountains and River Sword was activated and a mass of sword aura was released, forming a small world that silently tore apart the world. Qin Yu threw out a punch and the ground shattered and broke. He quickly flew backwards. In the next moment, the Oriental Giant Bird flew straight into the horrifying hole and into hell.

At this moment, in Qin Yu’s soul space, the Cosmic Seacross Bell shook once more before disappearing. It then appeared directly in front of Qin Yu and a beautiful figure emerged amidst the light…or rather, the shape after she transformed.

A purple skirt wrapped tightly around her figure and a purple dragon curved around her body. It was not embroidered but it was moving continuously. As the dragon’s eyes opened and closed, it looked extremely threatening. The woman wearing the purple dragon robe currently had her eyes closed and was silent. She was like an ancient empress descending with mighty powers!

Woosh –

She opened her eyes and her gaze landed on Qin Yu. She stepped forwards and kneeled on one knee, “Congratulations on your return.”

Just as it was about to rush in for the kill, a look of panic crossed the Oriental Giant Bird’s eyes. Without hesitation, it beat its wings fiercely in an attempt to run. With its speed, a single flap of its wings could allow it to travel ten kilometers. It would reach the skies in the blink of an eye. Yet, the Oriental Giant Bird screeched and the wildly fluctuating air started to calm down.

It seemed as though an invisible net was around it, binding its wings. It struggled desperately in vain as the suppression on its bloodline and soul sucked all its energy, rendering it unable to move.

The Oriental Giant Bird was in this predicament and the weird beasts were not spared either.

The three massive apes were wide-eyed as they spat out thunder and lightning energy. Then, they turned and fled. However, before they could take more steps, their massive bodies froze and all their energy was sucked out from them. They slumped to the ground, crushing a few mountains and a few long rivers.

The Deep Blue Jellyfish made a low roar that sounded like a large whale weeping. Space vibrated and it was just about to use its innate divine sense to teleport away when the vibrating space was shut down. The jellyfish walked out in a haggard manner and fell down. Its body was torn apart by large wounds and fresh blue blood spurted out of them like a fountain.

One by one, these ferocious beasts that could tear the world apart with each move fell to the ground in a limp manner. Then, as the Cosmic Seacross Bell was repaired, they were suppressed!

Qin Yu could sense what was happening in the outside world clearly. Even though he had expected the revival of the Cosmic Seacross Bell and that it would change the scenario, he did not expect the magnitude of this. The Cosmic Seacross Bell could suppress all the world’s beasts with its own strength!

Looking at Meimei kneeling on the ground respectfully, Qin Yu sighed deeply and asked, “What…what is going on here?”

Meimei replied, “This world is your farm and they are your farm animals.” She lifted her head. Across her pure, white face, there was a hint of coldness that felt like jade, “They were going overboard.”

Qin Yu frowned, “I do not understand your words.”

Meimei answered, “Because you are the leader of the Ancient Clan, you are the last hope left by the Ancient Clan. Therefore, everyone was waiting for your arrival and awakening. Everything that the Ancient Clan lost will be returned. I have slept a long time for this day. Thankfully, I followed my origins and found you.”

She stood up, “Now, let me help you with the last step, to become the true king of the Ancient Clan.

Shoosh –

She vanished.

In the next moment, a sun suddenly appeared in this Mutant World’s skies. Its stunning light rays were very bright but when he looked closely at it, he realized it was not a sun but an enlarged bell. It was the revived Cosmic Seacross Bell.

The purple dragon circled the bell, flying around it continuously.

Ring ring –

There was the sound of waves from the bell. In a few moments, the sound travelled through the entire Mutant World. Every living creature in this world, regardless of where it was, felt fear and despair in its heart. This ringing sound resonated with a will deep in their bloodline and soul that they were unable to resist.

The deafening sounds caused the ground to break apart. An area that was a few kilometers in radius collapsed and turned into an abyss; the Oriental Giant Bird fell in while it struggled desperately to fight back. As it struggled, numerous cracks started to appear on the ground. Yet, it could no longer fly to the skies because its ability to soar above the skies and defy the world was now being forcefully retaken!

Under the light of the Cosmic Seacross Bell, the Oriental Giant Bird’s eyes were reflecting a golden color. Streaks of golden mist poured out from its body and amassed towards the Cosmic Seacross Bell.

The Oriental Giant Bird was not the only one who suffered from this. At this moment, all the beasts in this Mutant World were being suppressed and their powers stolen back from them.

This power belonged to the Ancient Clan!

Qin Yu flew out from the underground and stood between the clouds. He lowered his head and took in what was happening on the ground below him. There were huge waves of emotions in his heart. Very soon, his eyes involuntarily fell at the Cosmic Seacross Bell. His heart pumped violently like thunder and an overwhelming feeling filled his chest.

At this moment, the golden mist that was flowing out of the Mutant World’s beasts’ bodies was gathering towards the Cosmic Seacross Bell. It slowly turned into a golden-colored lake. Golden mist traced the outline of the lake and then entered it; Qin Yu could hear the sound of flowing water.

However, at this moment, memories belonging to the ancient times were washing over Qin Yu’s mind. There was a pained look on Qin Yu’s face as he went through these memories.

Many years ago, the Ancient Clan had already predicted what would happen to them. In order to preserve their bloodline and legacy, they made a lot of preparations. Like seeds to represent the future of the clan, they were scattered apart and this became the farmlands of the Ancient Clan.

They sealed the Ancient Clan’s power here forever, waiting for a clan member to reawaken and inherit everything of the Ancient Clan. After an accident, the Cosmic Seacross Bell was faulty and it was no longer able to suppress the Ancient Clan’s power here. As the creatures on the farm absorbed the power, this Mutant World was created.

Qin Yu was the only seed scattered by the Ancient Clan that managed to successfully germinate. This was why Meimei told him that this was his farm and every beast was his farm animal. Now, the Cosmic Seacross Bell was reabsorbing the power of the Ancient Clan. It would gather this power and integrate it into Qin Yu’s body, turning him into the king of the ancient people!

Qin Yu rubbed his forehead to ease the pain in his mind. He looked at the Cosmic Seacross Bell and then at the floor. Those beasts that were seizing in pain and struggling suddenly had a realization – perhaps the Ancient Clan had also expected that the Cosmic Seacross Bell would be harmed and the Ancient Clan power would leak.

In other words, all of this could have been premeditated by the Ancient Clan. The ancient power that they had absorbed had not been strong at the start. However, after the beasts inherited the power and passed it down, it had now grown to a large mass. When they were gathered together again in the future, it would help the inheritor of the ancient people reach an unimaginable realm.

Meimei appeared before Qin Yu and said respectfully, “Your guesses are wrong.” She looked at Qin Yu with nostalgic expression, “After the ancient people sensed danger back then, they were not able to make too many preparations. This farm is the last opportunity and no one dared to risk it. After all, if the ancient power was leaked, everything would be lost if it was gone. That would be a point of no return.”

Qin Yu’s eyes brightened, “Regardless of what the truth was back then, it has drowned in the river of time. All we are doing is making guesses from what we see.” He looked at Meimei calmly, “Perhaps you are just unwilling to accept that the Ancient Clan had planned for you to be injured and sleep until today to recover.”

Meimei was silent for a long while before she nodded, “Maybe that is the case…but it isn’t important. I belong to the Ancient Clan and the Ancient Clan created me.” She raised her hand and pointed to her original body, the Cosmic Seacross Bell, “When all the ancient power has been gathered, you can absorb it and you will become the king of the Ancient Clan. You will possess the strongest power of the Ancient Clan from when it was at its peak!”

Qin Yu nodded. He was not going to reject this as he needed the strongest power. However, the issue was whether the powerful Ancient Clan would bring about unexpected troubles.

After all, the calamity that struck the Ancient Clan toppled it in the end, virtually making the clan go extinct. Behind this was the Blazing Sun. Qin Yu had to consider this…the more lice, the less itchy it becomes. The reason for this was that the lice were too weak and were overestimating themselves by wanting to bite off the necks of tigers and wolves. He should avoid what he could.

Qin Yu told her about his worries and Meimei said, “Rest assured, my will is to revive the Ancient Clan. When I am awakened, I can cover up your aura.”

“Then that’s alright.” Qin Yu’s eyes brightened. He was highly expectant of how strong he would be when he absorbed the strength of the Ancient Clan.

As Qin Yu waited to absorb the ancient power, the beasts on the ground could sense the doom of death. Their bloodline and soul could not avoid the control of the Ancient Clan despite many generations of passing it down.

Now that the ancient power was being reabsorbed, it meant death for them. There was reluctance in the Oriental Giant Bird’s eyes. It was so strong and it stood at the peak of this world. Yet, it was locked here forever and it could not step into the outside world to see what it was truly like.

And now it was going to die!

Roar –

Roar –

One by one, the beasts roared in a low tone. Their roars were filled with anguish and fear.

Qin Yu looked at all of them and his eyes brightened, “Meimei, after I absorb the ancient power, will they all die?”

Meimei’s eyes were cold, “Based on their crimes, they all deserve to die!”

Qin Yu said, “I am cultivating Incense Great Dao.”

Meimei frowned slightly, “You want to keep them as your believers?”

Qin Yu nodded. The loyalty of elites would be hugely beneficial for his Incense Great Dao. There were more than a hundred of these beasts in front of him. In the Mutant World, could there be a thousand or ten thousand of them? If he got their loyalty, it would open a new area for his divine nation and he would obtain a powerful stream of incense power.

Meimei said, “They have stolen ancient power in their bodies. If you want to keep their lives, you will not be able to undergo the transformation to become the king of the Ancient Clan. You have to think about this carefully.”

Qin Yu said, “If I become the king of the Ancient Clan, will I be able to kill a Longevity Species?”

Meimei shook her head, “No, but it can allow you to take on a Longevity Species and possibly beat them!”

Qin Yu said, “The calamity in the past was brought about because our ancestors wanted to build their own Divine Nation and ignite Incense Great Dao. Therefore, I believe that my choice is right now.”

He stepped forward and summoned the projection of a gigantic Barbarian King into this world. It felt like a heavenly mountain and it emitted a vast aura. Above the Barbarian King projection’s head was an ignited Great Dao which felt like a snake that had wiggled its way up to the heavens!

“I am the king of the Ancient Clan, the true master of this world. You have taken ancient power and have grown strong! Today, I will retrieve the ancient power. All of you will die and all your years of cultivating will turn to dust!

“However, I am giving you a chance now…submit to me and I will give you an opportunity to live.”

Qin Yu raised his arm and the Barbarian King projection mimicked his actions. ‘Kaboom’, a terrifying force swept through the world with a frightening aura. The flame of the Great Dao above his head burned stronger and it gave off a powerful aura that suppressed everything in all directions.

“Make your choice. Submit to me or die. This is your last chance!”

Trapped in the deep earth, a conflicted look crossed the Oriental Giant Bird’s eyes. Its top grade bloodline and its honor made it reluctant to bow down. However, the ancient power in it was being taken away and it could sense the thick aura of death. It was cold and rotten and it made it fearful.

It would really die!

Right at this moment, low growls came from the other beasts. With death in front of them, they made their choices without hesitation. One by one, they knelt on the ground and showed their respect and submission to Qin Yu.

However, this was a minority of the beasts in front of him. The rest of the beasts were silent as they waited.

Qin Yu’s eyes landed on the Oriental Giant Bird. There was a cold but calm look in his eyes.

They stared at each other for a few moments before the Oriental Giant Bird finally lowered its head and squeaked gently.

The rest of the beasts started to show their loyalty to Qin Yu.

Qin Yu stepped forward and arrived before the Cosmic Seacross Bell. The massive purple dragon that circled it lowered its head respectfully. Qin Yu’s voice boomed through the lands, “The ancient power was what you all took in the past. Today, I will gift this power to you! From today onwards, you will be a part of the Ancient Clan – you will be my subordinates!”

Boom –

The round lake that the Cosmic Seacross Bell had formed started to break apart and numerous streaks of golden mist flowed out. They were sucked in via the mouths and noses of the beasts and these beasts grew more alert. Their auras seemed to be stronger than before!

This was because their strength was no longer stolen but it was given to them by name. It was truly their power now.

The Oriental Giant Bird had a complicated look in its eyes. It knew clearly that after it had merged with the ancient power, it would never be able to defy the will of Qin Yu.

It knelt down to the ground, “Long live the Ancient Clan King!”

Roar –

Roar –

The other beasts roared.

Boom –

At this moment, Qin Yu could sense the sea of incense power gathering and entering his Great Dao overflowing.
