Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 1172 – Bait

Chapter 1172 – Bait

No matter how much these people beat each other up, and no matter how much they vomited blood or how many bones they broke, it was meaningless to him.

Because the result was already doomed from the moment he saw the bead.

Was this arrogance?

In Qin Yu’s eyes, it wasn’t. It was just that the strength of these cultivators was so low that they didn’t have the qualifications to fight him.

But it was still good to be careful. It was impossible to know whether someone was concealing a powerful trump card.

It wasn’t just Qin Yu who was waiting. After all, everyone knew the logic behind waiting for the enemy to waste their strength and then fishing for benefits afterwards.

Red Feather was one of them.

When he arrived, he had noticed Qin Yu. He silently furrowed his eyebrows together.

In fact, Red Feather had no idea why he felt restlessness in his heart whenever he faced Qin Yu.

It was because of this that when they were on the ship, they stopped their most aggressive companion, Red Flame, from doing anything.

His instincts told him that it was best not to be enemies with Qin Yu…but now, he appeared here.

And the thing inside the mystic realm was Red Feather’s mission objective…he had to obtain it.

He took a deep breath. It seemed that there would be unavoidable conflict this time.

Qin Yu suddenly looked over, his gaze meeting Red Feather’s. His eyes were faint and without any fluctuation of mood. But, these eyes caused Red Feather to stiffen, and a chill to gush out from his heart and almost freeze him.

Fear flooded his mind!

A moment later, in Red Feather’s eyes, Qin Yu made his move.

He stepped forward, directly intruding into the open space. What greeted him was three swift and fierce attacks that each came from a different direction.

Those that entered the battlefield later could retain their strength, but they would also become targets of joint attacks from the other cultivators already on the field.

Bang –

A rich darkness instantly erupted. Like thick dark ink, it immediately flooded the entire space.

“Ahh! What is this!?”

“Break for me!”

“Screw off!”

Roars and screams spread out from within the darkness, followed by muffled sounds. Figures flew out from the darkness, their noses and blood gushing blood. They looked at the darkness with fear in their eyes.

Only those that personally experienced the darkness would know what happened inside. If it weren’t for that person showing mercy, they would have already died.

Treasures might be good, but they had to survive to enjoy them!

The cultivators that escaped death didn’t dare to stay any longer. They quickly ran away.

They were already injured and weakened. It was inevitable that other people would target them.

The quicker they ran the better!

Finally, when the darkness quieted down, the field outside the mystic realm fell silent.

The people who hadn’t entered the stage and were waiting to fish for benefits all subconsciously widened their eyes, their mouths full of bitterness.

The script shouldn’t be like this!

They hadn’t even joined in yet and they had all sorts of methods they hadn’t used, but things were over like this?

They weren’t willing, they really weren’t willing. But…so what?

They had seen the fate of those people. Even if they were in their shoes, could they do any better?

Red Feather gulped. He stared at the darkness, rejoicing that he stopped Red Flame from doing anything before.

As for the mission…

That’s right, the young master had instructed them to obtain the thing inside this mystic realm no matter the cost, and for this reason he had even given them a powerful treasure.

But now, Red Feather was sure that even if he used the treasure that the young master gave them, the ending wouldn’t change.

No matter the cost…cough cough, that didn’t mean he would sacrifice himself for nothing.

Simply put, Red Feather wasn’t prepared to send himself to his death. News of today’s matter would spread out, and he was sure the young master would understand.

He turned and left. A thought appeared in Red Feather’s mind – the test in the Endless Sea had really attracted a large number of freaks this time.

But who was Qin Yu?

He actually possessed such terrifying dark power. He had to inform the young master so he would be prepared ahead of time!

Pa –

With a light sound, the open space around the mystic realm, as well as the darkness, completely vanished from sight.

What vanished with it was the black stone that was in front of everyone’s eyes.

….

Sometime later.

Somewhere in the Land of Disorder, the turbid sea water wildly oscillated back and forth from the traction of some unknown force.

A large fish with yellow scales and bloodshot eyes hid below the dirt on the seabed, waiting for prey to approach.

Suddenly, tumbling waves erupted from the bottom of the sea. Space was torn apart and a figure walked out.

The large fish that had been waiting for such a long time didn’t consider how this person had come here. Driven by its burning hunger, it mounted an all-out attack.

The dirt at the seabed blew apart as the large fish howled out, its speed reaching the extreme. Its mouth opened up to reveal rows of sharp teeth.

Pa –

With a light sound, the arrow-like fish flopped over. Its severed head whirled away in the water and it eventually became food for the other sea creatures to eat.

Qin Yu glanced at the corpse of the large fish that attacked him. He took a step forward and tore through the water, shooting into the skies.

Hu –

The sea’s surface burst apart and he flew into the air. His eyes quickly swept across his surroundings. After careful comparison, he came to the conclusion that his location was roughly the same as when he entered the mystic realm. It was just a bit off.

This didn’t matter. What Qin Yu wanted to do was cross the Endless Sea. It didn’t matter which direction he came from.

It was just that he might need to change this plan. He flipped his hand and with a flash of light, a lotus flower appeared.

This lotus flower was the size of his palm, but when it covered the skies it was quite domineering. In truth, he had expended a great deal of strength in obtaining this.

This was the greatest harvest Qin Yu found in the black stone mystic realm, and it was also the thing that Old Turtle was so excited about.

The balls that flew out from the black crack could be called the seeds of this lotus flower. But, they weren’t true seeds.

It was complicated and it took some time for him to understand, so there wasn’t much else to say…in short, the lotus flower contained a massive amount of soul force that could supplement Old Turtle.

But its main function was to act as a key. With this lotus flower in hand, one could enter another mystic realm deep within the Land of Disorder.

After Qin Yu obtained this lotus flower, the information voluntarily appeared in his mind. Old Turtle also judged that it had split off from some object.

In other words, behind this lotus flower, there was a genuine treasure that caused Old Turtle to drool.

The soul force within the lotus flower was enough to be a great meal for Old Turtle. If he could obtain the main body that it split off from, he would be able to extend his life for a long time into the future and wouldn’t have to wrack his brain for further ideas.

This was enough for Qin Yu to alter his original plans.

Moreover, if it used a selective mystic realm as a test, the mystic realm it pointed towards had to be of a much higher level. If he passed through it, Qin Yu might be able to achieve his goal of gaining fame, and this would be much easier than crossing the Endless Sea.

With this thought in mind, he put the lotus flower away. He had come to a decision. He stepped out and flew in the direction indicated by the lotus flower.

Plans could never keep up with all possible changing variables. Qin Yu had once again proved how correct this was.

But in truth, if there was a pair of eyes large enough to see the entire Land of Disorder, they would discover something interesting.

At the opposite edge of the Land of Disorder, there were many cultivators heading towards the same place. Their routes might not be the same, but their destination was.

It was like a crowd of big fish that had fallen for the bait. They swarmed together, not knowing what fate they would eventually meet.

Perhaps there were some smarter fish that had sensed something was wrong. But, the benefits in front of them were too great, so great that even if they knew there was danger they were still willing to dive into the danger and test it out.

There were certainly some that believed they would be lucky, but more importantly, they were confident in their strength…after all, cultivators that could swallow this bait had to be powerful.

…

Outside the Profound Vision World, the darkness that flooded the space between worlds was called the aether.

Normal life forms could not survive in the aether. But this didn’t mean dangers didn’t exist here.

On the contrary, the terrors of the aether were so great that even an Origin God cultivator wouldn’t dare to stay here too long.

But now, in the aether outside of the Profound Vision World, six figures stood across from each other. Although they restrained their auras, the natural oppression they released was enough to deter all directions.

The terrifying life forms in the aether retreated far away, not daring to approach.

One of them broke the silence. “That thing wants to run away. Will you and I really not interfere?”

“If you and I compete, the Profound Vision World is bound to be destroyed. Rather than that, let’s follow our agreement and bet on our luck.”

A third person spoke up, “What if it escapes into the heavens?”

“Then that is its luck.” A fourth person said in a booming voice, “With our statuses, do you plan on going back on your word?”

The aether fell silent. The two others didn’t speak, tacitly approving of this.

The first person who spoke sneered, “Then let’s wait!”

That thing deep in the Endless Sea had been discovered long ago. It was just that it was immature, and also that everyone here dreaded each other, so it was allowed to live until this day.

Now, it had finally matured. That was why this test in the Endless Sea had opened up.

Everyone had joined the game. It would all depend on who had the more powerful chess pieces and would succeed in obtaining that thing.

As for escaping into the heavens…

Hum hum, those were just empty words. With so many of them here, would they really watch on and do nothing as it escaped?
