Refining the Mountains and Rivers-Chapter 1591 – Who Could Ensure Their Survival?

Chapter 1591 – Who Could Ensure Their Survival?

With one hand holding his white robe, Qin Yu thought about his current cultivation realm. Somehow, he felt like using the words ‘initial realm’ to describe his current state was an understatement.

Forget it. Those who were going to come and bully him would not be good people. They would simply be surprised then.

Qin Yu sat down cross-legged and started to carefully sense his current state after he broke through.

Firstly, he was now in the Ruler realm of the True God Path. In other words, he was in the perception realm.

It would not be accurate for Qin Yu to say that he came up with this name on his own. When Qin Yu broke through, this word suddenly jumped into his mind.

Sensing the world and understanding its vastness also came with a suppression from the world itself. The world felt like a large net. Every living creature in the world lived in it, although each had a different cultivation rank.

Just thinking about it made Qin Yu feel a tight sensation in his chest and he started to feel fearful and anxious.

Qin Yu suppressed these thoughts and stopped mulling over it. He had a feeling that oversensing the big net of the world would be dangerous for him.

Aside from that was the Incense Child. Qin Yu could not sense that its existence was tied to himself.

However, this connection was not completely accurate. It had merged into Qin Yu’s body but it was not inside Qin Yu’s body. It felt like it had merged into another dimension. Regardless of where this dimension was, Qin Yu felt like he would be in the same place as the Incense Child no matter where he was.

It was hard for Qin Yu to explain the actual feeling that he had. He could only sense that the Incense Child had hidden itself in the Incense Territory of the empire of the West Desolate. Hm…Incense Territory. What was this? He did not have any impression of it but it popped into his head again.

He raised a hand to rub his brows and he only took it as a side effect from having sensed the world. He did not think much of it.

After confirming that the Incense Child was hidden well within the massive Incense Territory empire of the West Desolate and there was no way for it to be exposed, Qin Yu felt more satisfied with the work that Rourou did.

Secondly, after Qin Yu inherited the throne and became the new king of the Barbarian Clan, the bloodline of the Barbarian Clan in him had been continuously transforming and raising the strength of Qin Yu’s physical body.

His eating and drinking festival had incredible effects and improved this process greatly. After Qin Yu broke through, there were finally obvious improvements. Since he was in the capital, Qin Yu would never try to use the strength of the Barbarian King bloodline unless he was on the brink of death. As such, he could only wait till next time to try it out.

The third thing that was also the greatest surprise for Qin Yu…was that the piece of darkness that had blocked his eyes had finally been gotten rid of.

This was what Rourou was referring to when she mentioned about the opportunity for Qin Yu. This was also how he was able to attract a massive amount of incense power continuously just now. Otherwise, did he really think that the Incense Child who stole victory so recently would be so strong?

With the darkness blocking his sight broken, the ‘Soul Seed’ could truly break out of the soil and germinate. Qin Yu received gifts from the heavens and his powers surged…at the same time, the suppression from the world was reduced. Otherwise, he would not have destroyed the darkness barrier once he entered the Ruler realm of the True God Path, also known as the Perception realm. It was not something that could be casually destroyed…even if he had successfully broken through, it was hard to predict what could have happened.

Unavoidably, dark and dangerous thoughts would invade the minds of people. For instance, some other people might have walked the True God Path before. However, they were not as lucky as Qin Yu and they did not manage to have a good perception of the world after their breakthrough. Instead, they met an unfortunate end.

This was a scary thought!

A few moments later, Qin Yu sighed deeply. He stood up, swayed his sleeves aside, and pushed open the door. Rourou previously mentioned that cultivators needed to take it slow and change their destiny step by step. It was not appropriate to think too much about it beforehand…her words were wise and he needed to learn from them.

Before she left, she had especially instructed Qin Yu to understand what was happening outside…with Qin Yu’s understanding of her, she was trying to take credit for her work.

Qin Yu was truly curious about what had happened in the past few days.

……

Even though Rourou claimed that she was going to rest, she did not really rest. She first gave a warning to that old demon in the Min Residence, telling him to be a good demon and not die. Otherwise, she was good at frying things. Then, she arrived at Long Horn Alley of the capital. There was a sign pasted on a residence. The lady in a white robe lived here with the sluggish man who had just changed his clothes again.

“Greetings my lady.”

The white-robed lady bowed respectfully. Her eyes were burning with passion and there was endless respect in them. Her attitude was completely different from before.

The sword strike from the Imperial Palace was done by her and the sluggish man lent his powers too. She temporarily borrowed clothes from him but this matter was far more difficult than changing her own clothes. There was a large restriction as well.

As such, after his ‘clothes’ were destroyed, he became extremely sluggish and appeared to be in low spirits.

Rourou glanced at the man behind the white-robed lady. He looked devastated and Rourou merely scoffed, “This little problem started because of you. It is a small effort, do you really want to take credit for it?

“Otherwise, do you want me to reward you with a great opportunity and write off your efforts? Then I will settle the scores with you again from there?”

Iron Wire shivered with fright. He did not dare to bargain in the slightest bit. As his face turned pale and sweat drenched him, he cried, “My lady, please do not be angry, it is my fault!”

He kowtowed his head to the ground without hesitation. He showed no intentions of shirking away.

His intuition told him that the lady was not in a good mood now. If he dared to test his luck, he may really die!

“Hmph!”

Rourou scoffed coldly and turned around to sit down.

The white-robed lady with the sword stepped forward. She poured some tea for Rourou and respectfully asked, “My Lady, what instructions do you have?”

Rourou glanced at her and said, “Take off your white robe.”

The white-robed lady did not hesitate to obey.

Shoosh –

Iron Wire turned and ran as fast as he could. In the blink of an eye, he was out of the living room and he dared not peek at all.

Rourou’s lips twitched. This bastard had good reactions but he wanted to use her hands to kill others.

After all, he had lived for a long time and his physical body’s standards were going to be high.

The white robe fell to the ground and a face appeared. Perhaps because of all the unrest she had suffered in the past, her complexion felt rough. However, this did not hide her beauty. Either way, she seemed much more dignified than other ordinary female cultivators. Furthermore, her hostile expression was rather appealing to others…sexually deprived men were unable to resist her.

Rourou scanned the lady and she made some adjustments to her chest and legs. Then, her lips curled into a smirk.

“Alright, wear the robe. In the future, you are not allowed to take this white robe off without my permission.”

“Yes, My Lady.” The lady respectfully bowed and put the white robe back on. She did not question the command nor feel offended.

Rourou lifted her tea cup and sipped it. She casually placed it down on the table with a thud and asked, “What is your name?”

“White Iris.”

“Very good. From today onwards, you shall be my servant.”

White Iris knelt down and her eyes brightened, “Yes, My Lady.”

……

The nine areas of the Desolate Area were split into categories with five areas being the upper class and the other four areas being the lower class. The Central Desolate and the four main areas were considered the strongest in terms of ranking of the areas. However, the Central Desolate Area was still the leader of the upper five areas. This was not only because its territory was vast, it was also in a good position to receive the heavens’ favor.

The Central Desolate was the heart of the Great Desolate and it was favored by the world. It received opportunities and had a good source of spiritual energy from the world. It had the most complete set of laws from the world. Because of this, great demons would be born in the Central Desolate whereas other areas were more isolated from the world and did not have much leeway for demons to have offspring.

Additionally, the Central Desolate was a Divine Area. The Qin Clan unified and ruled the Divine Areas. Since the beginning, the ascension of a few hundred thrones had gone smoothly and nothing went wrong even till this day. The Qin Clan held innate imperial power, and one of the reasons for this was that their bloodline was naturally favored by the world. More importantly, the Qin Clan ruled the Central Desolate and it was rumored that they had powerful cultivators who could suppress their fates and preserve their power forever.

Because of this, numerous great families in the Central Desolate obeyed the Qin Clan and no one dared to have treacherous thoughts. This was the case at least on the surface, where no one revealed anything amiss. However, there was no doubt that there were things simmering in the dark.

Descendants of the clan received much fortune because their clan ruled the Central Desolate Area, and it was a favored clan of the world. Everyone would stare at the descendants with envious looks. This included the four great clans aside from the Imperial Clan, the Qin Clan. These four great clans were the Zhao, Xu, Li and Tian clans. Aside from them were the four major sects, Transcendent, Origin Dao, Blackpool, and Boundless World.

Sky Tide World was the base for the Li Family. It was once a cave hideout for ancient men, but it was obtained by ancestors of the Li Family later on. After numerous renovations and rebuilding, this small world was now comparable to a country. There was also a grand formation array around it that continuously absorbed spiritual energy of the world. This caused it to become a place for gods.

Today in Sky Tide World, a few men gathered in the ordinary-looking hall next to the ancestral hall of the Li Family. There was no aura drifting in the air but the few figures standing there looked as stable as mountains, with supreme aura that could suppress any living creature in the world.

Gods and ghosts could not approach them and the world could not touch them!

“There has been an accident in the West Desolate. Someone seems to have placed a trap and lured Li Ruhua and Li Ge into it. There is a conflict with the Imperial Clan of the West Desolate now. Li Ge has been involved with the nine-tailed fox. He was struck by the sword of the West Desolate King because of the Heart Connection. A few days ago, he passed away.”

Someone spoke in a calm voice and showed no emotions when he informed the rest of the group of this. The other people in the hall fell silent as if they were pondering over what it said. Yet, at the same time, they looked disconnected and unbothered by what happened.

“The reason why we are gathered here today is because Li Ruhua sent a message back to the clan. She suggests collaborating with the West Desolate to find the Barbarian King. She did not dare to make her own decision on this and she is waiting for our instructions.”

“What would the thirteenth floor think about collaborating with the West Desolate?”

“They do not forbid this. By the rules of the thirteenth floor, as long as there are no restrictions, we may proceed as we please.”

“I don’t have an opinion.”

The person who spoke first glanced at his surroundings, “Since that is the case, I will send a message to Li Ruhua and ask her to proceed.”

Buzz –

The figures in the hall quickly vibrated and disappeared. So none of the people with terrifying auras were actually physically present there. They were just projections from their divine sense that crossed vast distances to arrive at the ancestral hall here.

The death of Li Ge, a talented descendant of the clan who was being nurtured, was a great event. However, the behemoths of the family clan stood at the pinnacle of cultivation realms and they could not be bothered with this.

They had lived for so long and experienced many things. They had seen many talents with bright futures. In the end, there wasn’t anyone who managed to grow and enter the same ranks as them.

His death was as simple as that. In the grand scheme of things, everyone lived under the same sky. Who could ensure their survival?
