Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 1871 – The World Outside

Chapter 1871 – The World Outside

“Seven, hurry and go back. I can handle this!”

Bull Dingtian stubbornly said.

Qin Seven bowed, “Thank you for taking care of me, Senior Bull. You have done a lot.” She looked up at the four True Kings, “You all know who I am. I will go with you.”

“Please!”

One peak True King smiled, his eyes shining.

At this moment, a cloud suddenly floated above them and everything darkened slightly.

Initially no one cared, but very soon, they all realized that this cloud was extraordinarily big.

Moreover, not only was it not leaving, it was becoming thicker and thicker, blocking more rays.

The whole space grew dark.

Ssss –

There was a sucking sound and everyone who was looking up subconsciously widened their eyes.

The five peak True Kings, including Bull Dingtian, looked slightly flustered.

Not slightly but a lot.

There was no cloud in the sky.

It was the silver moon that was growing dim.

Or rather, the silver moon was like a ball of flame that was slowly getting extinguished.

Not slowly but at a speed that was frightening.

In a mere few seconds from when it started to darken, the entire place had become darker by thirty percent.

According to this speed, the silver moon would be thoroughly extinguished in a moment and the world would be in eternal darkness.

This was extremely scary!

Eternal darkness meant that light was cut off. This also meant that…a calamity was about to happen.

A hundred years was not long, it was just the lifespan of a normal mortal. To peak cultivators, it was merely equivalent to the time it took to cross a sea.

But the silver moon had not changed for a hundred years and there had been no indications of it before. How could they easily accept a sudden change like this?

Bull Dingtian waved his sleeve and pulled Qin Seven to him. But at this moment, the four True Kings did not even turn.

The silver moon extinguishing meant a calamity was about to arrive. They were in no mood to bother about Qin Seven.

And this was not only happening in Sky Cow City – all creatures in the tens of thousands of worlds were lifting their heads to look at the silver moon growing dim. Fear, panic, and despair started to fill them.

The war that had raged across the worlds stopped at this moment.

The speed at which the silver moon dimmed did not slow down with time; instead, it became even faster.

Eventually the faint light rays completely disappeared.

The worlds were thrown into darkness.

Complete silence!

Despair was like a large invisible hand, grasping onto everyone’s hearts and making it difficult for them to breathe.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

When the world was in complete darkness time seemed to twist, as if every moment was dragging on even longer.

Without any light, the temperature began to drop.

It was not a slow decrease in temperature – it was as if when the darkness descended, all the warmth in the world was wrenched away.

Frost appeared followed by a layer of ice over Qin Seven’s body. Her eyes widened and fear was apparent on her face.

She opened her mouth but could not say anything. She felt as if she had been frozen inside a layer of ice.

Then, a warm palm landed on her shoulder.

The dense and bone-chilling cold was instantly swept away. It turned into vapor, leaving her body.

“Seven.”

Qin Seven heard a voice and she immediately spun around. Her vision was completely dark but she could feel that familiar aura.

“Brother!”

She threw herself at him and fell into an embrace. Qin Yu smiled softly, “I am back.”

He thought for a while and then released soft light rays from his body.

The darkness was pushed away, and along with it, the frightening cold also disappeared.

“Ahh!”

Bull Dingtian, who was nearest to them, regained his freedom. He turned sharply and saw Qin Yu glowing, his face filled with delight.

“I knew that you would be alright!”

Qin Yu nodded, “Thank you Senior Bull.”

The light spread further into all of Sky Cow City.

Bull Bean’s eyes widened as she touched her damp hair. She jumped and shouted, “Brother Qin, Brother Qin!”

Qin Yu looked at her and smiled. He nodded and waved before saying, “I have not allowed you all to leave.”

Snap –

He snapped his fingers and the bodies of the four True Kings stiffened. Surprise filled their eyes. At this moment, they were like four fishes frozen in the air, unable to move an inch. They wanted to move but found out that not only were their bodies frozen, even their cultivations were frozen and they were unable to activate their powers.

This caused the hearts of the four True Kings to fall. The difference in their power was too great; it was beyond their imagination.

“Qin Yu, everything today is a misunderstanding…” Before one of the True Kings could finish speaking, his mouth shut with a groan.

Qin Yu said, “I saw everything very clearly from up above, so you don’t have to speak.”

He thought about it, “I will give you all two choices. One is to die right now. The second is that you will not have to die, but you will have to repent for a million years.

“If you don’t agree, shake your heads.”

After waiting for a while, Qin Yu smiled softly, “Very good. Since you all agreed, then you can all continue living.”

The four True Kings’ eyes filled with tears.

Damn it. Don’t we need to be able to move to respond to you?!

Of course Qin Yu was not really giving them a chance to choose. Since they had offered themselves, he could not just let them go.

Boom boom boom –

Though Qin Yu was emitting light rays, the majority of the world was still shrouded in darkness.

But now, an incredibly loud sound spread through the darkness and swept the four True Kings away like a wave. They shot up to the nine heavens.

The sound became louder and louder. After some time, a light ray suddenly appeared and spread outwards.

It was like light finally breaking through thick and dense clouds. It broke through and shone on the dark world.

But it was not one sun that broke through the clouds – there were four of them.

The darkness was rapidly pushed back and light shone across the world once again. Though the temperature was still low, the ice had melted.

Bull Dingtian’s eyes widened as he witnessed this. He felt a chill through his entire body.

At this moment, Qin Yu looked down.

“Ah!”

Bull Dingtian exclaimed and subconsciously took a few steps back, “Qin Yu, I helped you…”

Qin Yu froze and shook his head, “Senior Bull, you are overthinking.”

Thankfully, Bull Bean rushed over and started shouting in delight while hugging Qin Yu’s arms, breaking the awkwardness from Bull Dingtian.

“Brother Qin, I knew you would return. Seven was worried and I was the one who consoled her.”

Qin Yu smiled and nodded, “Thank you Bean.” He stretched out and patted Bull Bean’s head.

She suddenly closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Bull Dingtian was startled.

Qin Yu said, “Bean has very good aptitude but there is a problem hidden in it. Senior Bull, I am sure you know this, and that is while you placed a seal in her to prevent her cultivation from increasing too quickly, right?”

Bull Dingtian breathed a sigh of relief and chuckled bitterly, “Qin Yu, I can no longer see through your cultivation level…you are right. There is a problem with Bean and I actually found out about this not long ago. I did not have a way to solve it so I could only temporarily suppress it…”

He looked at Qin Yu as he spoke.

Qin Yu said, “Let her sleep. Once she wakes up, it will be okay.”

Bull Dingtian was delighted, Qin Yu would not joke about something like this.

Thinking of how Qin Yu had just casually patted Bean and solved the problem that had been bugging Bull Dingtian, he could not help but choke slightly. He then looked up at the four suns in the sky, “Qin Yu, the silver moon…”

“Was related to me.” Qin Yu did not explain further.

Bull Dingtian shut his mouth and did not intend to find out more.

He did not know what Qin Yu did, but the four True Kings were now hung in the sky as suns, like kites that were released.

Though Qin Yu said that they would not die, this must not feel good.

Nonsense, they tried to capture Qin Seven and got caught by Qin Yu. While they did not die, did they actually think they would live a good life?

Ultimately, he did not want to experience what they were feeling.

The calamity disappeared.

Qin Yu’s return spread through the thousands of worlds like a message with wings.

The four True Kings colluding to attack Sky Cow City was not something that could be hidden to begin with.

Now they were nowhere to be found and four suns appeared in the sky. Though Bull Dingtian ordered for this news not to be spread, for those that knew, it was not difficult to find out.

In a moment, the war all over the world stopped. All the ambitious people who had wanted to become the world’s peak felt anxious.

But thankfully, everything was peaceful.

Qin Yu did not appear. It seemed like uniting the world and becoming the only ruler was not in his plans.

As for the reason why…they did not care!

Now, Qin Yu was very busy.

Ever since returning from the Source of Reincarnation realm, as well as getting the help from Light Pagoda, he was eyeing a higher level. The position of only being the ruler of the world was meaningless to him.

It was like a giant not wanting to be an owner of an ant kingdom.

The comparison was very direct and appropriate.

As for being busy, it was real.

Not long after he entered Sky Cow City, Qin Yu said that he was going to isolate. Other than Qin Seven and Bull Bean, who could enter occasionally, everyone else – including Bull Dingtian – stayed far away from that place.

“Brother, what are you busy with?” Qin Seven plucked a grape and looked towards the outside of the residence in confusion.

Recently, Qin Yu had been really busy and only came out once or twice a month.

Beside her, Bull Bean was listening attentively.

Qin Yu rubbed his forehead and smiled, “Don’t be anxious, you will know soon.”

The Source of Reincarnation realm belonged to him, but Light Pagoda had kept Origin’s conscience.

Moreover, maybe because it was thrown into chaos again, Origin’s will which had seemed to combine into one was showing signs of splitting.

After all, if Light Pagoda did not help, Origin’s will would also have shattered and disappeared along with the Source of Reincarnation.

This gave Qin Yu a chance.

There was something that he thought he had lost forever and was filled with regret about, but now he had a chance to get it back.

So Qin Yu forcefully suppressed Light Pagoda’s broken world to strive for a higher realm.

Now, he was close to success!

Three months later.

Qin Yu walked out of the residence.

Behind him, a figure looked disgusted, “Qin Yu, I don’t want to see any more. Why must you wake me up!”

“Rourou ah, in the past, your cultivation was higher and whatever you said went. But now, I am the one who decides. Do you understand?”

Rourou sneered, “You are saying that even if we have to sleep together in the future, I just have to bear with it?”

Qin Yu’s face stiffened slightly. He was thinking, this crazy woman. She had just awoken and was already so angry.

Waving his hand, he ignored her and walked out, “Seven, come and meet someone.”Qin Seven rushed over.

Qin Yu smiled, “Call her sister-in-law.”

Qin Seven’s eyes widened.

Qin Yu turned, “All of you come out; I only have one sister. You all need to meet her.”

There was a moment of silence before footsteps could be heard. A woman with a beautiful face walked over. Qin Seven subconsciously opened her mouth.

Bull Bean stood behind her and her breathing became rapid. Fear, confusion, and a secretly delighted look appeared in her eyes.

Since all of them can, why can’t I?!

As for Qin Seven, her mind was now blank as she looked at Qin Yu. Are you really my brother?

Another ten years passed.

“Qin Qingqing, Qin Anan, you two naughty monsters. Hurry and get back here!” Rourou had her hands on her hips as she scolded.

Two beautiful children were in shock as their minds went blank. ‘Swoosh’, they disappeared.

“First Mother! Second Mother wants to hit us!”

Rourou became even more angry as she heard this, “Shut up, you two brats. I told you a hundred times that I am First Mother.”

A lazy voice added fuel to the fire, “Even the children know that you cannot be trusted. Why can’t you accept the truth?”

Yawning, she turned and revealed her plump curves, “Don’t glare at me. Even if you glare at me, you cannot beat me.”

Rourou gritted her teeth, “Tonight, I will definitely not sleep on the same bed as you. If you are there, I won’t be!”

The beautiful woman was sunbathing and did not bother turning to look at her, “That’s great. I will enjoy by myself tonight. Let’s do it.”

Rourou huffed and shrieked, “Qin Yu, aren’t you going to come out. Your children are useless; if you don’t help me, I am going to leave!”

Qin Seven patted her forehead and turned to look at her sister, “Bean, you have already witnessed this. How can you still be foolish and want to jump at my brother?”

Bull Brean lowered her voice and said angrily, “I know your sister-in-laws don’t want me to join and are intentionally putting on a show!

“Seven, you are being fooled, but I will not give up. Since Brother Qin has them, why not have me?”

Seeing that she had already fallen too deep and there was no help for her, Qin Seven let out a breath. Bull Bean was hopeless.

However, there was something strange. After so many years, her brother only had Qingqing and Anan. It was not like he was slacking off at night. Why, aside from Ning Ling, was there nothing going on in the tummies of her other sister-in-laws?

But thinking about it, these two monsters had tortured and brought enough trouble. She temporarily pushed aside this thought.

Two was enough. Any more and what would happen to this world?

It was noisy outside but quiet in the room.

Qin Yu frowned, “Can’t we wait?”

In front of him, an old man in white shook his head, “We have delayed long enough; you can’t keep making things difficult for me.” He smiled, “Moreover, don’t you want to see the world outside?”

Qin Yu was silent.

He could not deny this.

Thinking about it, Qin Yu stood up, “We will leave in three days.”

The old man in white bowed, “Yes!”

The Ruler was the first one to discover Qin Yu’s strange behavior. Before they fell asleep at night, she whispered into his ear, “Have you decided to leave?”

Qin Yu replied with an, “Mmhm.”

The Ruler was silent before nudging him, “Before you go, you should say goodbye to all the sisters.”

“Hmph! Don’t sleep for the next few days!” A fierce voice could be heard from the other side of the bed. Second Mother, Rourou, looked fierce.

Qin Seven felt her body ache as she took care of the two monsters. Looking at the tightly shut door, she thought about how old they were and how long they had been together. Yet they could still spend three days and three nights behind the doors. Weren’t they afraid of getting laughed at?

And what was more despicable was that they were enjoying themselves, but she had to take care of the children? What a hard life!

Bull Bean was angry, “Your sister-in-laws are too much; how can they not know how to control themselves? Don’t they know that men’s waists have to be cherished? If they deplete all of it now, what will those in the future do?

Qin Seven was speechless.

She felt that Bean would never be able to escape from her brother’s grasp in this life.

Just as she was struggling and wondering when her tough days of watching the kids would be over, the door suddenly opened.

Qin Yu was the first one out followed by her sister-in-laws.

“Brother…”Qin Seven went to greet them but immediately stopped, realizing something weird about the atmosphere.

Qin Yu smiled and patted her head, “Seven, thank you for the past few days; it must have been tough.”

“It’s alright, you worked even harder…mmhm…” Qin Seven paused, “Brother, are you leaving?”

Her first sister-in-law was not napping today, and this was incredibly strange.

Qin Yu nodded, “I am going on a trip.” He did not say more but called the two children over, “Qin Qingqing, Qin Anan, when I am not around, you have to be good and not make your mothers angry. You have to listen to your aunty as well.”Smiling, he turned and said, “Then I will be leaving.”

Woosh –

He disappeared.

Qin Seven felt uneasy, “Sister-in-laws, where is my brother going?”

Rourou sighed, “Who knows? It is just somewhere far.” She looked up and glanced over.

“Don’t look at me, I don’t know either.”

Qin Seven stared, “First Sister-in-law, you don’t know either?” She looked worried.

“Don’t worry – with your brother’s current cultivation, even if he wanted to die, it would be difficult.”

“Let’s just wait for him to return.”

Bull Bean was anxious, “Dear sister-in-laws, how long will Brother Qin take to return? I feel off.”

The Ruler smiled at her with narrowed eyes, “Bean ah, I will make the decision and promise you that once Qin Yu returns, he will take you in as well.”

“Ah…” Bull Bean’s eyes widened.

Rourou frowned and looked unhappy.

The Ruler turned and said slowly, “Adding more joy, don’t you understand?”

Rourou thought about it and nodded, “I agree!”

Woosh –

Above the nine heavens, Qin Yu appeared and he reached out.

Woosh –

White Feifei appeared and bowed, “Greetings, My Lord.”

Qin Yu said, “White Feifei, after I leave, you know what to do.”

White Feifei said, “Please do not worry My Lord. I will do my best to make sure your wives, children, and sister are safe.”

“Mmhm.”

Qin Yu nodded and looked at the endless sky, “Then, that will be all.”

The old man in white appeared quietly and greeted, “My Lord, I am here to guide you.”

Boom –

With a punch, Qin Yu broke through space and stepped in!
