Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 1540B – Meeting a Half-King Again

The dark figure was silent for a while. “Interesting, you little brat, you actually managed to guess who I am.”

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Qin Yu’s forehead. He did not dare to deny it.

“That year, when I was summoned to enter the Desolate Area, I was fortunate to be able to meet you once. Your mannerisms and style are unforgettable.”

Di Shitian was still guarding the Desolate Area’s Connecting Passage. The figure that appeared in Qin Yu’s room was merely a projection of him.

Even if that was the case, Qin Yu was still shaken…the construction of the Boundary Breaking Seal had alerted a Half-King. The insider details of it must be more terrifying than he had imagined!

Di Shitian’s projection said blandly, “Since you know my identity, that makes things easier.”

He flicked his sleeves, and a slightly black ring that seemed to be made from iron appeared on the table without a sound.

“In here, there is everything you need to build the Boundary Breaking Seal. In order to ensure that there are no accidents, there are three portions of materials in total. His Majesty only needs one Boundary Breaking Seal. If there are any leftovers, they will belong to you. Take it as an additional reward.”

Qin Yu bowed and saluted, “I will carry out this order to the best of my abilities and live up to the expectations of His Majesty and Your Excellency!”

Di Shitian’s eyes were flat and unwavering as he looked over Qin Yu, and in that instant, Qin Yu felt like all his secrets and his true identity were being seen through.

“You are the only one who knows about the Boundary Breaking Seal. The items in the ring cannot fall into the hands of the barbarians. If any accidents occur, destroy it. Have you remembered what I’m telling you?”

Qin Yu was soaked with sweat as he replied, “Yes!”

After a long time, he did not get a response. When he finally got up, he realized that Di Shitian’s projection had already left.

Hu –

Letting out a sigh of relief, Qin Yu’s legs became mush and he almost collapsed to the ground.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

King realm. That was how powerful cultivators in the King realm were!

Even if it was just a projection that had crossed endless space to come to where he was, it still had the ability to decide whether he lived or died with just a single thought.

Sure enough, at the peak levels of cultivation, the gap of just one rank was unimaginable.

There were only seven Half-Kings that existed in the West Desolate, and this was just a publicly known number. It was hard to be sure whether they had more Half-Kings in secret… Furthermore, these were just Half-Kings.

How powerful would someone be if they were in the King realm? There may be a True King in the West Desolate!

He took a deep breath and tried to suppress his thoughts, but Qin Yu still felt a heavy pressure weighing on him.

Although he was getting stronger and stronger step by step every day, the goal that he wanted to achieve in his heart was so difficult that it made him despair.

At the very least, for now, it seemed like he had a very low chance of succeeding.

“Hmph, what, you got scared just like that?”

The sudden sound made Qin Yu sweat again. His body suddenly tensed and then in the next moment, it relaxed again.

Turning his head to take a look at who it was, he realized it was Rourou who showed disdain. The corners of his mouth twitched, but he did not have the energy to talk to her.

He turned around and sat down, poured himself a cup of herbal tea, and drank all of it in one go with big gulps.

Anyway, she had already seen his fearful appearance just now, so Qin Yu did not bother to cover up his real thoughts.

A Half-King! This was a real Half-King!

Anyone who dared to say that they were not afraid would definitely be lying, not to mention that Qin Yu was hiding a lot of secrets in his heart. To be able to maintain his current appearance meant that he already had a strong psychological willpower.

Rourou pouted, rolled her eyes at him, and said, “You’re afraid of him, why aren’t you afraid of me? He’s just a puny Half-King; if my true body were here, I could swallow him easily. Do you believe me?”

Qin Yu was silent for a while, then put down the tea cup and turned to look at her.

Being stared at by his serious eyes, Rourou laughed coldly, “Stop. Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking.

“For a great empire like the West Desolate, there must have been someone who has walked out of the Incense Great Dao, otherwise, there would not have been an inheritance that has lasted until today.

“I can give it a shot and try to interact with them, but Qin Yu, are you sure that you can afford the price you will have to pay for this?”

The mysterious being from space time had its own unique trading system. If one wanted to get something, one had to pay an equal price for it.

Qin Yu coughed lightly and looked elsewhere.

Fine, just take it as me never having harbored such thoughts!

Picking up the ring on the table, he realized that its look and feel seemed like it was made from iron. When he held it, it was rather heavy.

Qin Yu checked the object with his divine sense. Not noticing anything wrong with it, he raised his head and looked at the person opposite him.

Rourou pouted, “There is nothing wrong with the ring, it’s just a large storage device, but the contents of it are pretty good.”

A gleam of light flashed in Qin Yu’s eyes, “The materials for building the Boundary Breaking Seal are all in the ring. Can you see what its true function is?”

“I can, but I can choose not to tell you what it is,” Rourou frowned, “Little Qin Yu, don’t you forget that I am your creditor now. Find a way to pay off what you owe me first before making another request!”

Qin Yu glanced at her, “You’ve said it before. I can give you some of the things that are not very beneficial to me; take it as a reward.”

Rourou thought about it for a while before wiping the corner of her mouth and saying, “Deal! But remember, this is what you said, I did not force you to do anything.”

She glanced at the ring, “The materials in here can build a strong spatial vibration node, which is probably the Boundary Breaking Seal that you were talking about.”

Qin Yu was a little confused. “That’s it?”

Rourou rolled her eyes, “I already gave you the answer to your question, don’t blame me if you can’t understand what I’m saying.” She then got up and left, “I’m tired, I’m going to sleep!”

Rourou took a step forward and her figure instantly disappeared. Even though Qin Yu watched this happen with his own eyes, he did not sense a fluctuation in energy at all.

The mysterious being of space time was indeed incomparably powerful!

Thinking of what she said earlier, that she could swallow a Half-King…Qin Yu immediately decided that no matter where he went in the future, he would bring her along with him.

This was simply a life-saving buoy that he could hold on to at any time!

But what exactly was the Boundary Breaking Seal? Qin Yu raised his hand to rub his eyebrows as the thoughts turned quickly in his head.

Firstly, after the incident of the Barbarian Tomb, in order to avoid the barbarian ascetics, they used the Boundary Breaking Seal to return to the West Desolate. This meant that this thing definitely had more than one function.

It probably had many other uses.

Secondly, Rourou said very clearly that the Boundary Breaking Seal was a very powerful spatial vibration node. It could probably be understood as a powerful spatial blasting device of some kind. When needed, it could explode with a loud ‘bang’ and release extremely terrifying destructive power.

Qin Yu’s heart froze slightly and his face was solemn.

He suddenly thought of a possibility. If there were enough Boundary Breaking Seals that were arranged in a wide range to wrap around the Western Barbarian Land, or maybe just their key areas, and then they were detonated at the same time…what would happen?

He was afraid that in the blink of an eye, it would create a catastrophe that would obliterate millions and billions of living creatures!

The endless space that could be shattered by this Boundary Breaking Seal was likely to form a huge mouth that swallowed everything in its way, dealing the barbarians a fatal blow.

Could this be the West Desolate’s plan? If this was really the case…Qin Yu was going to use this to improve his status in the army. It seemed that his plan of borrowing the West Desolate’s power had to be abandoned.

As the new Barbarian King, he could not execute the plan that would destroy the entire Barbarian Clan, otherwise he would experience a backlash from the Barbarian Mark that was imprinted on his bloodline and this would cause him to die on the spot!
