Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 1240 – Arrival

Chapter 1240 – Arrival

…

To summarize the Saint battle that occurred in the aether, the overall process was like this.

First the Scholartree Saint made the Spring Master stay.

Then the Spring Master dragged the Scholartree Saint back.

Then the Scholartree Saint entangled the Spring Master again.

Both sides switched active and passive roles. The first time was because of the death of the Saint and the Scholartree Saint sensing that someone had seized his dao quintessence.

The second time was because the Spring Master sensed a fierce feedback coming from his seal, meaning that Peachy’s soul was rapidly dissipating.

In short, all sorts of changes caused a fierce battle to break out again and again, with both sides paying a price.

Before the Spring Master desperately went all-out, the Scholartree Saint laughed out loud and left the stage. He had bought enough time. Judging from the Spring Master’s reaction, Peachy had a high chance of her soul having scattered already.

One of his sons had died, and there wasn’t much damage to him. But if the Spring Master lost Peachy…hum hum, that would be different.

Perhaps his Great Dao wouldn’t be directly cut off because of that, but he would at least be severely wounded. At that time, all he would need to do would be to wait at the Western Mountain until there was a signal that the Spring Master had fallen into a weakened state.

Then, he would take his life while he was sick, finally bringing to an end the entanglements and competitions that followed them through the countless years.

Although this would be a long and winding process, the Scholartree Saint was still happy and delighted.

In any case, he would eventually achieve his wish!

The Spring Master frowned, his eyes dark and gloomy. He took a step out and vanished from sight. As a True Saint who crossed the Sea of Bitterness and reached the other shore, his Space Laws had reached the peak.

It was an exaggeration to say that he could arrive at any place in the vast brightness with a single thought, but in terms of speed, he was unparalleled!

Peachy had the Spring Master’s dao quintessence on her body. No matter how many rivers or mountains separated them, he could find her.

After jumping several times, he had passed through countless worlds.

Bang –

Space twisted in the skies and then shattered from the inside out. A terrifying black hole appeared.

The Spring Master took a step out, releasing an aura so deep that it caused everyone to fall into despair.

In the distance, some big fellow who was hiding deep below the earth and was about to move suddenly appeared to be struck on the head. Its entire body froze in place.

It had already survived here for countless years. Besides the period of time it was born where it was weak and small, it had been the ruler of this entire world. All creatures here bowed at its feet and worshiped it.

But only the heavens knew what happened. First, two little things burst in, then they brought in a fierce fellow behind them.

He was indeed extremely fierce!

This was its home field, and it violently clashed with the man for an entire night. Although they had come to a tie, it hadn’t felt any better off.

Otherwise, to do something so offensive and still want to leave alive? Hoho, that was too naïve!

Before it could think about how to find a chance to eliminate this formidable enemy, they had died after a series of earthshaking fluctuations.

It was sure that it wasn’t mistaken. Even though that area wasn’t its home field, this was still a Saint dying.

Only the blind wouldn’t be able to see it!

And the killer of that formidable opponent had been one of those two little things that it hadn’t placed in its eyes.

What was going on with this world? A solemn Saint had been casually eliminated like that?

If it weren’t for the fact that it personally experienced this, it would never have believed this.

But without a doubt, this was the truth!

The large fellow became scared.

What nonsense. Who wouldn’t become scared?

Although it hadn’t sensed the specific process, there were at least two times when it felt a fatal threat.

Each one was enough to push it to the edge of death’s abyss!

So even a long time after the battle ended, the large fellow didn’t dare to act recklessly.

It waited and waited. When no one broke through the void and left, the shroud of fear was slowly lifted.

Could it be that both sides had been mutually wounded and perished?

After all, that was slaying a Saint. Killing a powerful Saint caused the will of the vast brightness world to wipe out everything in the surroundings. How could it be harmless?

Could this be my lucky chance?

As the large fellow grew increasingly excited and was almost unable to suppress itself…the heavens shattered!

Then, a person walked out. The large fellow vowed that in its entire life, it had never seen such a terrifying being before.

This was too frightening!

Because of its background, the large fellow’s senses were especially sharp and sensitive. So, it could feel the might of the Spring Master even clearer.

Although it had said so much, it felt that this wasn’t enough. It had to repeat it again.

Frightening!

Very frightening!

We’re all frightened here!

…

In the Spring Master’s senses, the large fellow hidden beneath the earth was like a lighthouse in the dark night, a striking sight.

The Spring Master’s eyes flooded with killing intent. The large fellow’s heart twitched and his first thought was – this person wants to kill me!

It screamed out loud and turned its head to run. Space exploded with a bang as it broke through the void.

What nonsense. When facing such a ruthless person who had killing intent, if it didn’t hurry up and escape, was it supposed to wait here for death?

After a fierce all-night battle with Black Shadow Half-Saint, and even managing to gain some advantages afterwards, the large fellow who dominated this world for countless years was frightened away by a single glance and forced to flee for its life.

The Spring Master was speechless for a moment. With a glance, he could see that there was no relationship between what happened to Peachy and that large fellow.

Yet he never thought that he would scare it away with just a glance.

But at this time, the Spring Master wasn’t in the mood to pay attention to the large fellow who ran away. He took a step and vanished from sight.

A moment later, space disintegrated and the Spring Master walked out. He could see a great furnace partly buried in the earth, as well as the large cocoon inside it.

Hu –

He let out a breath. Winds whipped up between the heavens and earth. Countless thick trees and their networks of roots were tossed into the air and smashed to pieces.

Did this seem exaggerated? But this was exactly the formidable strength of a True Saint who reached the other shore! This was also the reason why the Dragon Saint prevented the Spring Master and Scholartree Saint from fighting in the East Sea.

Once two True Saints were moved to genuine anger, the shockwaves of their battle was enough to destroy the heavens and ruin the earth.

After that, there was the battle in the aether.

The large cocoon flickered in and out, blocking aura fields. But at such a close distance, the Spring Master could still sense Peachy.

Although her condition was poor, she had stabilized.

And the one who helped Peachy survive the desperate situation of her soul nearly dispersing was the other person in the large cocoon. It was the ninth seat of the peach garden, Qin Yu, who he had resolutely decided to take in as his last disciple.

The Spring Master’s eyes flashed, becoming incomparably profound. It seemed that after today, he needed to find a chance to have a good conversation with this disciple of his.

Hum –

Space shook.

The Spring Master turned his head. His expression was faint and his eyes were even fainter.

A moment later, a fist punched out. Space broke open and he reached in to drag someone out.

“Master!” The head that popped out was sweating profusely right now. The young man was happy at first, but then he started to panic, “Please listen to me, I have a reason!”

The Spring Master grabbed the man’s neck and pulled him out like an onion. He said without expression, “The wine cellars of the peach garden are dirty. Go and clean them up.”

The young man who was caught had a sad expression, but he didn’t dare to argue back. He honestly nodded and said yes.

It seemed that master was truly enraged by today’s events since they involved junior-apprentice sister Peachy. Even if he had his reasons, he wouldn’t be able to escape blame.

The wine cellar wasn’t easy to clean, but strictly speaking, this was already a light punishment. He could only hurry up and acknowledge his mistakes…after all, with master’s personality, the more nonsense he spouted, the more miserable he would end up.

With a humph, the Spring Master reached out a hand and grasped forward. The giant furnace shook a little before falling silent.

It seemed that the great furnace still understood how to act.

The Spring Master turned and walked away. With a step he broke through space and vanished from sight.
