Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 1283B – An Opportunity for Instant Success

Everyone quickly split up like fish entering a deep sea, without any bubbles appearing, and disappeared in an instant. Most of them had similar thoughts to Nether Ye Xing. They wanted to find the secret in the mountain and increase their cultivation level.

Little did they know that the mountain was a lot more dangerous than anything they had encountered in the past. It was just like an open mouth filled with sharp teeth. Just a light chomp was enough to crush them all into minced meat.

This was because someone had already touched upon the most sensitive spot of the ancient creatures, and it was bound to cause a bite that was powerful enough to destroy everything. And this person was Qin Yu, who was currently in one of the deepest points of the mountain, hiding in the furnace.

Facing the silver tree which was able to control Space Rules, escaping was impossible. Moreover, the space in the mountain was being controlled by an invisible energy. Even if Qin Yu was willing to take the risk, he would not be able to control the Space Rules and escape by tearing space apart.

If escaping was not an option, fighting…if he could get rid of the weakness in his Rule System body and fully absorb the energy of the Spiritual Snake, maybe it would be possible. But in the current situation, he could only hide.

Bom –

Bom –

A low and dull sound could be heard as the furnace shook. Numerous silver branches were whacking it crazily. The only good thing was that the furnace’s defense was sufficiently strong. Temporarily, there were no signs of breaking and they were in a deadlock.

However, Qin Yu knew that this deadlock would not continue for long. The giant skeletons that were fighting the ancient creatures were clearly at a disadvantage. It was only because the skeletons could repair themselves that they were barely managing to hold the ancient creatures back. The furnace Qin Yu was in would also not last forever and its energy would deplete eventually. He had to find a way out.

Before Qin Yu could think of a way to escape, the Thousand-eyed Beast let out a roar once again. A deafening sound could be heard from the top of the cave as numerous cracks appeared. Huge rocks started crashing down. Silver roots appeared from within the stone, extending through the cracks. Without any hesitation, they attacked the furnace.

Unlike the silver tree branches which were hitting the furnace, the silver roots behaved differently. They wrapped around the furnace, forming multiple dense layers and started contracting, squeezing the furnace.

Obviously, this caused a lot more damage. ‘Crack, crack’, cracks started to appear on the furnace.

The Thousand-eyed Beast shouted even louder and the silver roots that were wrapped around the furnace began to burn.

This fire burned strongly with a silver color and had a strong corrosion force. In a few moments, several more cracks were ‘carved’ onto the exterior of the furnace and rapidly deepened…it was as if it was going to smelt this entire furnace!

Qin Yu’s heart shrunk as he took a deep breath and turned around, “Cang Zhu, did your ancestor note down where the body of the horrifying creature was?”

If he could not get an answer, he would be left with no choice but to run. He would be indignant, but his survival was always more important.

Thankfully, that drastic ending was not going to happen. Cang Zhu’s ancestor was someone who told the story till the end and did not cut it off halfway.

As she heard Qin Yu’s question, Cang Zhu knew how perilous their current situation was and nodded, “It starts from the Land of Bones. After going past the giant creatures and the Silver White Sea, you will eventually reach a black altar, you will then be able to see…” She pointed up, “So if I am not wrong, it should be there!”

The giant creatures were in front of them. Could the Silver White Sea be referring to the silver tree? Qin Yu did not know the answer but there was no time to confirm. He took out a shard and a calm and familiar voice spoke to him once again, “Do you need protection?”

Yes, definitely. Without hesitating, Qin Yu confirmed.

But this time, he did something different. Since it could speak, although it was always the same sentence, it should be able to understand simple intentions, right? Hopefully!

Qin Yu was not certain but he could only keep on thinking, attack in the above direction, attack in the above direction…he then glanced at Cang Zhu before pointing to the top.

It was as if some time was needed to process and consider what Qin Yu’s intentions were. The burning shard paused for a moment before crumbling. All of a sudden, a fire column appeared. It looked as if it was erupting with lava or like a fire arrow being shot to the heavens. In a flash, it surged upwards.

The temperature of the surroundings did not change at all despite the appearance of the fire column. It was as if all its energy was contained within.

Because it was so focused, it was scary.

Everything that came into contact with the fire column turned to ashes in an instant, regardless of if it was stone, the silver roots, or the silver tree branches. Everything in front of it was completely powerless against the power of the fire column.

This was the definition of effortlessly crushing everything!

Cang Zhu straightened up as she looked at Qin Yu in a daze. Right from the start, she knew that Qin Yu still had a trick up his sleeve. Not only because he could still remain so calm and composed in the current danger they were in but also because of their interaction for so many years in the heart calamity. She had an unexplainable understanding and trust for this man beside her.

Today, when Qin Yu took this last card out, she could not help but stare blankly as her entire being seemed to shiver lightly. She felt a strange yet true pride.

She lifted her hand to point the way and he lifted his hand to create a fire column that shot to heaven! She looked at Qin Yu’s slightly pink face from the glow of the fire column. Unknowingly, Cang Zhu felt a little infatuation.

What Cang Zhu did not know was that even though Qin Yu seemed cool and composed, his expression hardly changing, his emotions were fluctuating inside. Although he had activated the shard before, this time, the frightening power that poured out from it still stunned him.

Thankfully, the heart calamity was effective and Qin Yu quickly suppressed his shock. His first thought was that he could keep the furnace and that was good. If not, it might have been completely destroyed today. He reached out to grab Cang Zhu, then jumped and shot towards the sky. Without any hesitations, he dashed up through the path created by the fire column!

Roar –

Behind him, the furious roars from the Thousand-eyed Beast could be heard. The silver roots and silver tree branches that had been torn once again tried to stop Qin Yu. However, as soon as they touched the fire column, they were all burned.

It was as if the fire column exploded everywhere and its remnant energy scared away anyone who was thinking of challenging it…what an overbearing power!

Shell…shell…if the shard was really only a part of a shell, then it must definitely have come from an innate spirit. Because other than innate spirits, it was too difficult for Qin Yu to imagine what other kind of living creature there was in the world that could contain such a terrifying power in just a small shell fragment.

This also meant that the story Stone Pagoda told earlier was likely to be true. He was now on his way to the altar.

The corpse of a matured innate spirit…similarly, Qin Yu was going to fix the flaw in his body and complete the transformation!

If he could get it, it would be instant success.

His heart was pounding in his chest as if a flame had ignited within him. However, his expression remained as calm as a frozen lake.

He knew very clearly what it meant – if this was all true, the corpse of the innate spirit was the foundation that maintained the Lost Garden. It was the ancient creatures’ last effort to continue their bloodline. By taking this body, the Lost Garden would no longer exist and all the plans and efforts of the ancient creatures would also cease to exist.

How could they accept that? The revival of the thirteen strong ancient creatures as well as the existence of the silver tree proved that despite so many years passing by, the ancient creatures still possessed an extremely strong power. Instinct told Qin Yu that he had not witnessed all of it yet.

The greedier one was, the more one would have to bear. Now, it seemed as if he was close to success. However, the process would not be easy…if he was careless or unlucky, only death would await him.

However, today, he would not back off…there was no way out for him!

Faster, faster, faster.

Qin Yu did not know how long the power from the shell could hold out for. He simply had to try his best to charge as high and as far as possible. He could not be bothered to hide anymore. He hugged Cang Zhu tightly in his arms and released the energy from his body. ‘Pitter, patter’, Fresh wounds started to appear on the surface of his body and then heal within the next few seconds.

An extremely strong explosive force ruined the ‘thick clothes’ that Qin Yu had put on. The flaws of the Rule System body appeared.

However, his gaze remained solemn. Because at this moment, separate from the feeling that the road in front of him was dangerous, another vague thought appeared in his mind – as long as he reached the corpse, nothing would be able to kill him!
