Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 1343: Securing Teleportation

Bom –

Stone Pagoda’s illusion appeared. It was as if it opened its mouth and swallowed the small person.

In the next moment, a strange and sinister aura was released from within.

A thick layer of ice appeared on the surface of Stone Pagoda’s illusion, wrapping him in it.

Qin Yu’s eyes flashed. It seemed like it had gone smoothly. He could not help with this and could only wait for the results.

Hopefully, he could retrieve more memories…

As soon as he thought this, a ‘bom’ sound could be heard from within Stone Pagoda’s illusion. He twitched and the ice shattered.

It was too fast!

In such a short time, it was difficult to retrieve enough memories. Qin Yu frowned slightly, but he could not blame Stone Pagoda. If he had not made the suggestion, Qin Yu would have killed the Great Dao avatar and similarly would not have been able to get anything.

“Master, his reaction was too fast…” There was a hint of weakness in Stone Pagoda’s voice.

Qin Yu waved, “I don’t blame you. The opponent is a True Saint after all, it wouldn’t be easy.”

Stone Pagoda paused before continuing, “…Although his reaction was fast, I was not slow either and managed to get some memories. For example, why the cultivators from the World of Darkness are able to move around as they wish in Bounded Zero Place.”

Qin Yu was delighted, “Really?”

Stone Pagoda replied, “Of course, I would not dare to talk nonsense. Master, you will know when you see it.” Very soon, a thought was transferred.

Qin Yu closed his eyes and accepted it. It was really a memory that had been forcefully extracted from the Great Dao avatar. As he went through it, he suddenly understood.

The World of Darkness was at the boundary of Bounded Zero Place and this created the four Eyes of Darkness of Darkness Origin. Each of them was located in a corner and was used as a landmark. At the same time, the power of the Eyes of Darkness was able to cancel out the effect of the turbulent space waves.

Opening his eyes, Qin Yu was extremely amazed. He did not know what kind of price the World of Darkness paid for this but it must have been a huge effort.

The boundary of Bounded Zero Place contained the greatest turbulent space waves after the small world fragmented and was where the broken rules were most severe. At the start, that area still had some small world fragments, but it was unable to withstand the immense pressure from the external world and slowly vanished.

Only those people that could not die would dare to put their ‘life’ on the line to slowly build the Eyes of Darkness.

The was one of the biggest secrets the World of Darkness had in Bounded Zero Place.

Of course, the Eyes of Darkness were something that only cultivators from the World of Darkness could use. Even if others knew about them, they would not be able to use them.

But this was not a problem for Qin Yu. He was even able to pretend to be a Darkness True Saint; was it difficult to fool the Eyes of Darkness? Even if they were powerful and the construction process was extensive, they were still just objects!

He would try it now.

Qin Yu’s eyes lit up as he was excited. At this moment, the furnace let out a growl and he suddenly realize that he had forgotten about it.

Woo..that pearl with the Inextinguishable Flame.

Alas, one could not be too excited or they would forget important things. No wonder the furnace growled angrily.

Qin Yu glanced over and found the pearl lying on the floor. He reached out to take it but in the next moment, his expression changed.

Boom –

The pearl immediately exploded and released a dark red flame. In a blink of an eye, it turned into an endless sea of fire, engulfing Qin Yu.

A horrifying burning aura shot to the heavens!

The air was pulsating as the ground seemed to be melting. Everything within the fire was getting destroyed.

Hiding in the Furnace, Qin Yu’s mouth twitched as he watched the dark red flame engulf everything on the outside. He cursed himself for being too careless. If not for the furnace, he would have suffered despite having managed to kill the Great Dao avatar.

Thankfully, he had the furnace. Back then, the furnace was created through the heavens’ catastrophe and transformed. Now, it was not scared of any flame…whether it was the Fire of Eternal Night back then, or the Inextinguishable Flame now.

The ferocious sea of fire rapidly grew smaller over time. Very soon, it was swallowed by the furnace. Qin Yu realized that numerous tiny lights had appeared inside the furnace…it felt like the galaxy map in his God Mark. There were definitely some similarities.

The furnace creating Great Dao. It sounds simple but it was like a miracle that was in defiance of the natural order. Initially, Qin Yu could not understand why the furnace could do this. Now that he saw the small lights that appeared on the inside of the furnace, a thought popped into his mind – could the basis of the furnace’s Great Dao be because it had some attributes related to the heavens and earth?

For example, carving the world within its body meant that the furnace would represent the heavens and earth and be able to exercise its privileges and help cultivators create Great Dao. If it really were the case, it would be very similar to the True Saint Path that Qin Yu was on and they could have mutual benefits.

Looking intensely at the small lights in the furnace, Qin Yu took a deep breath and pushed this to the back of his mind. He could think about this next time. Now, the most important thing was to test if he could use the Eyes of Darkness to teleport within Bounded Zero Place.

With this, even if he could not think of a good plan to get the Inextinguishable Flame from the Darkness Faction, he might have a chance even with a stupid plan.

He left the furnace, stored it, and flew to the edge of the small world.

……

Bom –

Behind Li Zhou, a gigantic rock exploded into pieces from the power of the inner strength he had emitted.

Opening his eyes, his face was pale as his eyes were filled with shock and anger.

His shadow guard was dead!

Damn it. How could this happen when it was just a puny sword cultivator?

The shadow guard’s death was not what Li Zhou had expected. Moreover, after he found out that the explosion of the Inextinguishable Flame did not kill the swordsman, he became suspicious.

He knew very clearly how powerful the Inextinguishable Flame was. Even if the person was a True Saint, he would be severely injured after getting touched by the Inextinguishable Flame.

However, not only did the sword cultivator not die, he could sense that the ball of Inextinguishable Flame that he had released had vanished completely.

At this moment, numerous plots ran through Li Zhou’s mind. He even thought of his siblings who he was in conflict with.

No!

They would not dare. No matter how intense their conflict was, no one would dare to act brazenly when it came to the southwest desolate region.

If there was even a tiny leak, they would suffer a horrendous death. Previously, there had been an example of this and no one dared to go against it.

If not them, could it be a trap by that group? In Bounded Zero Place, the only people that could go against the Darkness Faction was them.

But that was not right. If it were them, after they realized the existence of the Inextinguishable Flame, they would have gone crazy. Things would not be as peaceful as they were now.

Li Zhou frowned harder. He simply could not understand. But there was one thing he was sure of…the sword cultivator who escaped definitely had a problem. He could sense an unknown pressure settle on him, as if foretelling that something bad was about to happen.

Damn it!

He looked at the bottom of the cave. There was a flame that was currently burning, and within the ball of flame, a vague black shadow seemed to appear, as if it was creating something.

It had not been easy for him to get this and he could not give it up halfway. If not, it would be almost impossible to find it again.

Thankfully the refinement seemed to be nearing the end. Once it was done, the first thing he would do would be to kill that sword cultivator.

Once he got the thing in the cave and could control the Inextinguishable Flame, it would be easy to kill these people!

As he thought of this, Li Zhou took a deep breath and suppressed the annoyance within him. The quiet dancing flame was reflected in the sweat beads that had drenched his temples. His face was slightly pale.

……

The first time he tried, he failed.

In the second that Qin Yu stepped out of the small world fragment, he could sense the aura of the four Eyes of Darkness and he successfully built a connection with them. But soon, the connection was cut off and he could not borrow their power.

After going through another familiar uncomfortable tumble in space, Qin Yu appeared on another unfamiliar world fragment. He was even given a small colorful present – A poison-spitting beast.

The beast did not attack Qin Yu first but it was Qin Yu who accidentally stepped into its nest the moment he emerged from the chaotic space.

Taking a full breath of brightly-colored toxic gas, his eyes glistened.

As a way to repay the beast for that enthusiastic welcome, Qin Yu ended it…

He had no time to waste. Once he was done, he immediately went to practice. This was the most important thing now.

The second time was an exact copy of the first, without the colorful present.

The third was the same.

In his fourth try, he met another colorful present. But this time, it was not immediate; he was attacked as he was rushing back.

There was no choice, he killed it.

He continued until his twelfth try.

Taking a deep breath, he stepped out of the world fragment and the turbulent space waves immediately engulfed him. In his conscience, the position of the four Eyes of Darkness appeared and he adjusted his aura to match. He split the turbulent space and chose his direction…

Woosh –

Qin Yu disappeared!

After a few moments, he appeared on another world fragment.

Success!

Qin Yu subconsciously clenched his fist as delight shone from his face. As someone who could pretend to be a Darkness True Saint, this was nothing.

The Darkness Faction would never be able to imagine that the four Eyes of Darkness, which they had painstakingly built, would be secretly used by others.

Not only that. Qin Yu, who had managed to use their Eyes of Darkness, was soon going to become their nightmare!

Because when Qin Yu practiced two more times and successfully used them to travel around, Stone Pagoda spoke, “Master, actually other than the message that I had sent to you, I also managed to retrieve some badly damaged memories. I did not tell you before because if you were not able to master the teleportation, it would be useless even if you knew…but now, the decision is in your hands.”

A thought was sent over. Qin Yu’s eyes lit up immediately after he read it – I finally found you. The controller of the Inextinguishable Flame!

Although the memory was very badly damaged and there were many gaps, it was enough to make a rough guess – in the World of Darkness, the cultivator controlling the Inextinguishable Flame was currently trying to create something important, hence he was not able to personally chase Qin Yu.

The key thing was that this treasure required the use of the Inextinguishable Flame. Additionally, using the Inextinguishable Flame would cause great damage to one’s own body.

This also meant that the cultivator from the World of Darkness was currently in a weak state!

Coincidentally, the memory fragments contained a location…perhaps it was too important and of high concern, hence the memory was especially clear.
