Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 1837 – A – Besieging White Jade Capital

Outside the seventh White Jade Capital, a terrifying power appeared. Taking the form of a great tide, it rolled outwards in all directions. It not only looked terrifying, it was also filled with murderous intent, wanting to suppress all of those who were coming to attack them. However, the nine Dao Masters were very aware that these attackers would not be easy to kill. Otherwise, White Jade Capital would not have let them live until now. Therefore, now, they were just hoping that they could temporarily block these attackers from disrupting the process of condensing World Origin.

Of course, just a great tide of power was not enough to block these people. However, there was more than one White Jade Capital. These nine Dao Masters also had powerful subordinates. Once they heard the commotion here, they would very quickly come to help.

The daoist was the first to attack. He charged straight towards the power tide. He raised his arm and grabbed outwards, and a pitch-black sword appeared. He raised it above his head and forcefully slashed it downwards. With a ferocious look on his face, he shouted, “Charge!”

The power of the daoist was extremely terrifying as it surged to the skies. As he slashed his sword down, even the light of the nine suns dimmed for a moment. The sword managed to slash through the power tide, creating a weak spot in it. He walked through this weak spot, and as he looked at the nine World Origins, a flame of desire burned in his eyes.

“If none of you are going to attack, are you going to wait for the nine Dao Masters to suppress us after completing the condensing of World Origin?”

Boom –

Theft is never good, try looking at [ .com ].

The space shattered and a terrifying figure walked out. It was a huge black-armored beast with a cold expression. It looked at the nine Dao Masters and there was endless resentment in its eyes. Then, it roared loudly.

A deafening rumble spread outwards. This was a powerful tactic used by this huge beast to attack someone’s soul by mobilizing heaven and earth power. With this roar, majestic power gathered at this place. In the blink of an eye, illusions of towering mountains appeared and they smashed towards the nine Dao Masters. Even though they were just illusions, every one of them was a hundred times heavier than a real mountain!

Origin Beast!

This was an extremely rare mutant species that lived by feeding on free World Origin. As World Origin accumulated in its body, it would become even stronger. However, this also meant that this species was destined to meet with a tragic ending. The reason was simple. After killing these Origin Beasts and refining them, one could gain a huge amount of World Origin.

Under normal circumstances, even the most powerful people in the human cultivation system would be unable to catch these Origin Beasts. However, White Jade Capital was different…the nine White Jade Capitals suppressed the entire world, which made them capable of keeping an eye on every corner of the world. Even though the Origin Beasts were extremely capable at concealing themselves, they had nowhere to hide. Therefore, their species were continuously hunted and killed. Today, there was only this one Origin Beast still alive.

In actual fact, this species was already pretty much extinct. With only one living Origin Beast, it was hard for their bloodline to be continued. This Origin Beast held endless resentment towards the White Jade Capitals, and it had waited for a long time for an opportunity to exact its revenge…now, the opportunity was finally here!

In the huge imperial city, the emperor stood on the city walls as the wind caused his dragon robes to be ruffled.

“Your Majesty, please think twice about this!” A few officials in court knelt down as their faces turned pale with fright. Going against White Jade Capital…even the thought of it made them tremble.

“I’ve waited for this opportunity for many years, if I miss it, my Wood Dynasty will forever be governed by White Jade Capital without a chance to ever regain power or authority. Therefore, I need to make this gamble. If I succeed…it will be a new chapter for my Wood Dynasty.”

Emperor Wood took one step forward and in the next moment, he directly appeared outside the seventh White Jade Capital. “Old bull, I am here to help!” The moment his voice descended, his dharma figure condensed. He was an ancient godly emperor that was more than a hundred thousand feet tall. His aura was extremely majestic and intimidating. His dharma image punched outwards, and world power surged towards White Jade Capital!

And in actual fact, they were not the only people who attacked.

This world had been governed by the White Jade Capitals for too long, and they had gotten absolute authority only through ruling with an iron first. For the number of people that respected and submitted to you, there would also be the same number of people who aimed to overturn your rule! Of course, for these past nine months, White Jade Capital had been madly plundering cultivation resources, suppressing nations all over the world. This was an important reason for why they attacked White Jade Capital today.

Scholar Cheng Haoran was also one of White Jade Capital’s attackers. Unlike others, he was not resentful towards the whole of White Jade Capital. He was mostly resentful towards Seventh Dao Master.

At the same time, Seventh Dao Master seemed to sense something in his heart. He raised his head and looked outwards. Even if the nine World Origins were extremely dazzling, it could not stop the two of them from making eye contact with each other.

Seventh Dao Master frowned. Hesitation and gloominess formed in the depth of his eyes, as if he realized something that caused him to be taken aback or found something that was hard to believe.

The scholar, who was wearing white robes and had white hair and bright eyes, now looked slightly delighted. It was almost as if he had hidden in the mountain village, not releasing a single strand of his aura and studying for so many years just to appear now in front of Seventh Dao Master and see this expression on his face.

The scholar smiled, cupped his hands from far away, and said, “My name is Cheng Haoran!” When he finished speaking, he placed a finger on his forehead, making the exact same decision as the other Cheng Haoran did back then, who was also a scholar.

Just that, back then, Cheng Haoran committed suicide because he knew he could not escape. This scholar, however, seemed to have killed himself for no reason. However, committing suicide was something horrifying – of course there would be a reason behind it.

Just as this white-haired and white-robed scholar Cheng Haoran fell to the ground and took his last breath, Seventh Dao Master grunted in pain. It was as if he had taken a heavy impact. His face instantly went pale and blood began to gush out from his seven orifices. At this moment, he could finally confirm that what he sensed earlier was right. This scholar was an illusion of him.

It was an illusion that he had lost control of a long, long time ago. He believed that this illusion would have already dissipated. However, not only did this illusion not dissipate, it stayed alive and hid until this day. This illusion even created another illusion that trespassed into the seventh White Jade Capital and became Seventh Dao Master’s disciple.

It was no wonder that back then, when Seventh Dao Master first saw Cheng Haoran, he could not help but choose Cheng Haoran as his disciple, since Cheng Haoran carried an illusion that was connected to him. And this undoubtedly created a deeper connection between the real scholar Cheng Haoran and Seventh Dao Master.

Therefore, today, when scholar Cheng Haoran committed suicide, it resulted in a huge backlash against Seventh Dao Master. It was so serious that even with Seventh Dao Master’s cultivation level, he could not suppress his internal injuries, which was why he started bleeding from all seven orifices.

As for why he did this…it was because scholar Cheng Haoran knew very well that with his current abilities, he was definitely unable to kill Seventh Dao Master.

The only way for him to heavily injure Seventh Dao Master was to kill himself, and then borrow the power of the backlash to kill Seventh Dao Master.

Even if Seventh Dao Master did not die, in the current circumstances, a heavily-injured Dao Master would undoubtedly become the weakest link in the nine White Jade Capitals, and the other attackers would definitely capitalize on this!

“Seventh Dao!” First Dao Master exclaimed, frowning.

The other Dao Masters looked over, especially Ninth Dao Master who stared at the blood flowing out of Seventh Dao Master’s nose and mouth with a complex look in his eyes.
