Refining the Mountains and Rivers-Chapter 1787 – Another Great Qin

The entire hall was silent!

True King Qiongji’s eyelids were twitching. He had guessed that Qin Yu would make a move but he never thought that it would be so direct and violent. 

With what he did and said, it was obvious what he meant!

Ancestor Li narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly, “Sect Master Qin, I have lived for so many years and it is the first time someone has dared to say this to me.

“To toast my Li Family…then Sect Master Qin, we will have to see if you are worthy of giving the toast. If not, we can only interpret it as you having foresight and pouring this for yourself.”

He could not wait anymore!

Damn, Ancestor Li was actually burning bridges and getting things rolling!

True King Qiongji did not want to go crazy with Qin Yu. He really did not understand what Qin Yu was thinking. 

Ancestor Li had already directly threatened him – Emperor Qin was like a sharp sword dangling above Qin Yu’s head. 

If they started fighting and the power of a True King was released, Emperor Qin would definitely sense it and appear in Parasol City. 

Then what would happen? Would the Floor Master come again? 

When it came to reputation, once was more than enough. Floor Master had already stepped out to save Qin Yu once. 

With True King Qiongji’s understanding of the Floor Master, he would not step out again. 

To fight head on with the Li Family…he was asking for death!

“Ancestor Li, Sect Master Qin, take it easy!” True King Qiongji spoke in a low voice, “It is not a big deal and this merely involved a junior from the Li Family. Moreover, Sect Master Qin is only looking for Li Mu for help. He does not mean any harm.

“Ancestor Li, Sect Master Qin is just feeling anxious and hence behaved rashly. He does not mean to become enemies with the Li Family. Please be generous and everyone shall take a step back. Let’s not blow things up to the point of no return.”

Ancestor Li picked up his cup and drank a sip, “I never thought of blowing things up. From the start, I have been speaking politely. However, maybe Sect Master Qin’s sudden rise in power has caused him to forget how to be cautious, rational, and respectful.”

He was very stubborn!

Old thing!

He still had the cheek to say ‘speaking politely’. Thick-skinned.

True King Qiongji cursed internally but the situation was more important. He turned to Qin Yu, “Sect Master Qin, why don’t we leave Parasol City for today…”

Qin Yu cut him off.

He looked at Ancestor Li with a calm expression and gaze.

“Ancient True King Cave Master was hiding in the Black Sea and not long ago. I killed him.”

Ancestor Li said slowly, “Sect Master Qin, are you threatening me? Hmph! Cave Master is nothing compared to me!”

Qin Yu shook his head, “I just want to remind you that on that day when I killed Cave Master, heavenly punishment fell and Cave Master’s goal was to kill me.”

Ancestor Li frowned, “What are you trying to say?”

“It is simple.” Qin Yu lifted his hand and touched himself, “If I can withdraw from heavenly punishment once, I can do it again.

“Moreover, in this big hall in Parasol City, if I can deal with heavenly punishment once and not die, I can do it a second time. But I am afraid that the Li Family does not have any way to deal with the heavenly punishment.”

Ancestor Li’s face froze as he glared at Qin Yu, “You don’t have the aura of heavenly punishment!”

“Indeed, but if I want it to have, I can have it.” Qin Yu was expressionless, “It could be today, or tomorrow, or next month. As long as I want it, I can do it.

“Of course, Ancestor Li, you can also try inviting Emperor Qin down to kill me…let’s see if I have a way to drag the entire Li Family down with me.”

True King Qiongji’s eyes widened. What a way to operate!

But thinking carefully, it was really scary. If Qin Yu could truly force a heavenly punishment onto the Li Family, who knew what else he was capable of. After all, Qin Yu was someone who could come out of it perfectly fine. 

If the Li Family really suffered heavenly punishment…hiss! The consequences were too frightening.

Other than Ancestor Li, everyone else in the Li Family would die. Even Ancestor Li may not be able to escape. 

After all, it was heavenly punishment!

True King Qiongji looked at Qin Yu ruefully. We are all in the King realm; how are you so outstanding? Heavenly punishment was clearly a problem but he was able to turn it into dynamite!

“Ancestor, I heard that Sect Master Qin is here. Even if I get punished, I had to come back. Please have mercy!” A young man ran into the hall, crying out pitifully. 

Ancestor Li snorted heavily, “Li Mu! Tell me how you offended Sect Master Qin such that he came here to vent his anger. Hurry and make up for it!”

“Yes yes yes, it is all my fault.” Li Mu walked over and greeted with a huge bow, “Greetings Sect Master Qin, please tell me where I went wrong. I will make amends!”

Ancestor Li coughed lightly, “Sect Master Qin, my junior from the Li Family, may not be great on normal days and I also struggle because of him. However, he has potential and I have hopes for him. If possible, please have mercy.”

He spoke calmly and even smiled. 

It was as if the tension never existed. 

Doubly thick-skinned!

His mentality was commendable. 

True King Qiongji’s mouth twitched. But he felt good seeing this. 

This old man Ancestor Li was extremely slippery and he even dared to act shamelessly in front of the Floor Master. 

Hehe, he also had days like this!

Qin Yu filled his cup of wine, “Ancestor Lin, let’s toast to all the disagreements that we had before.”

“Hahaha, okay!” Ancestor Li smiled widely. 

The both of them drank. 

Putting down his cup of wine, Ancestor Li waved his hand, “It is none of your business now. Leave us. Li Mu, stay behind for Sect Master Qin to talk to you.”

“Yes, Ancestor.”

The Li Family disciples turned and left. 

Although it was resolved somewhat peacefully, their backs were drenched with sweat from the encounter. Was this the world of the elders? It was too scary!

Just now, they could have died. 

After the others left, Ancestor Li spoke, “Sect Master Qin, do you need me to leave?”

Qin Yu nodded, “Yes.”

Ancestor Li, “...”

He stood up and looked at Li Mu, “Answer well and don’t make Sect Master Qin angry.”

Li Mu greeted respectfully, “Ancestor, please don’t worry.”

True King Qiongji automatically stood up, “I will go out to speak with Ancestor Li.”

He knew his place!

In a blink of an eye, only Qin Yu and Li Mu were left in the room. 

“Li Mu, do you know why I am here?”

Li Mu spoke respectfully, “To be honest, I can guess slightly.”

“Tell me.”

“It might involve the Grandeur and Millet Realm…”

Qin Yu said, “You can remove the second word.” He straightened his back and looked down at him, “Now, give me the answer. What exactly happened in the Grandeur and Millet Realm?”

Li Mu chuckled bitterly, “If I tell you that I don’t really know, will you believe me?”

“No.”

Li Mu grimaced, “But this is the truth.” He took a deep breath, “I have no way to go into it anymore. Sect Master Qin, if you want the answer, you have to find it yourself.”

Qin Yu looked at him. 

Li Mu stiffened. 

“Okay.”

Whew –

Li Mu let out a long breath as cold sweat suddenly appeared all over his forehead. 

He was really afraid that Qin Yu would be furious. That would be horrible!

“Now, I can only help you open the path, but whether you can enter…I cannot guarantee it.”

Qin Yu lifted his hand and grabbed Li Mu. They stepped out and rushed to the sky. 

“Ancestor Li, I am borrowing Li Mu. If everything is successful, I will personally send him back.”

Outside the hall, Ancestor Li’s face fell. 

True King Qiongji coughed, “Ancestor Li, don’t worry. From what I know of Qin Yu, he is very trustworthy.” He was about to step out and follow when Qin Yu’s voice could be heard.

“True King Qiongji, stay at the Li Family and wait for me to return.”

Qiongji halted and said, “Ancestor Li, it seems like I will have to stay in the Li Family and trouble you for a few days.”

Having him stay at the Li Family to monitor Ancestor Li was one reason. The second was also that Qin Yu could not completely relax with him. 

Ancestor Li snorted, “Sect Master Qin is extremely cautious!”

True King Qiongji smiled softly but did not say anything. He thought the same. 

So what if they were True Kings?

They seemed to be high up above but it was not like they had no fears. Otherwise, how could Ancestor Li be threatened almost to ‘resignation’!

It was better to be cautious. 

Buzz – 

There was a sword sound above Parasol City as Qin Yu disappeared with Li Mu.

In the city, amidst the dense foliage of the enormous sycamore tree, a giant pair of half-closed eyes could be seen in it. 

The golden pupils looked in the direction Qin Yu left in as a cold glint flickered through them. 

Boom – 

The air shattered and Qin Yu stepped out. His Mountains and Rivers Sword appeared and he pierced it into the mountain peak. 

An invisible sword aura emerged and covered the entire area. It separated this small area from the rest of the world. 

Although this was a mountain peak, it was one of the lower ones. Unless someone was near, it would be impossible to notice it. 

Letting go of Li Mu, Qin Yu said, “You can begin.”

Li Mu said okay respectfully. He took a deep breath, and a small stone the size of a nail appeared between his two hands along with a branch. 

He threw them out. The stone expanded and roots grew from the branch as it attached itself to the stone, turning into a huge tree. 

“Sect Master Qin, the door has been opened. Don’t resist. But I have no guarantee for whether you will be able to enter.”

Qin Yu closed his eyes.

Very soon, he felt a pull. 

With his current cultivation, he could reach anywhere with a thought. However, he knew that this was the way to enter the Grandeur and Millet Realm. 

Qin Yu moved ahead. 

Woosh – 

In the next moment, he appeared in another place. 

Above his head, a sun hung high and white clouds filled the sky. 

The descent of Grandeur and a fond dream…two separate things could be put together and create such a real world. No wonder it was something created by the world, it was extremely mysterious. 

“Immortal! Come see the Immortal!”

“It really is!”

“He appeared out of nowhere!”

Qin Yu lowered his hand and looked down at the people who were shouting at him. 

“Ah! The Immortal looked at me!”

“Hurry and kneel. Pray to be protected!”

A quick look at "novelbuddy.com" will leave you more fulfilled.

“Immortal, can you accept me as a disciple?”

Woosh –

Qin Yu stepped out and disappeared. 

Before finding out exactly what happened, Qin Yu decided to be a shadow and not touch anything here in case he created unwanted karma. 

In the next moment, Qin Yu appeared in front of a city. 

He landed and walked into the city, casually roaming around for half a day. Walking out of a teahouse and into a street, QIn Yu could not help but frown as a serious look appeared on his face. 

Woosh –

He disappeared and appeared in a government office in the city. He found the area where records were kept. 

After flipping through for a while, he placed the books back in their original places and let out a breath. He never thought that he would be able to find out the truth so easily. 

According to what he knew now, it seemed like Emperor Qin did not wrong Qin Yu when he tried to kill him…he could not help but chuckle bitterly. 

Because now, the Grandeur and Millet Realm only had one nation – Great Qin!

According to what Qin Yu read from the records, there were a lot of overlaps between the Great Qin here and the Great Qin in the Central Desolate Region. 

For example, they were both called the Qin Empire. 

The capitals were both called Xianyang.

More importantly, the sequence of the throne was exactly the same as the Central Desolate Great Qin. 

Qin Yu did not believe that this was a coincidence. 

Was this Rourou’s doing?

Qin Yu could only guess as it had been her arrangement when he entered last time. Moreover, Qin Yu’s memories had been hidden for many years. 

Why?

Could it be that Rourou wanted to replace the Central Desolate Great Qin with the Great Qin in the Grandeur and Millet Realm one day?

Nonsensical!

Impossible!

Qin Yu’s face could not help but turn serious as he thought of this. 

Because Emperor Qin had taken action. 

If this was completely useless and all just a dream, then why would Emperor Qin behave as such? Moreover, the words ‘Qin Empire's jinx is also surnamed Qin’ also came out recently.

No matter how he looked at it, it was problematic!

Taking a deep breath, he slowly let it out. Qin Yu suddenly felt that this seemingly dream realm was not that simple. 

Creak –

The door was pushed open and a young man holding a lantern walked in. He was being careful when he suddenly saw Qin Yu and froze on the spot. 

“Who are you?”

Qin Yu turned and looked at the young man. He was probably fourteen years old as he wore torn clothes over his skinny frame. 

He looked somewhat familiar. 

As if they had seen each other before. 

Now, the young man was staring at Qin Yu. Though his eyes looked flustered, he forced his expression to be calm. 

When he entered, Qin Yu did not notice it beforehand and this was weird. It seemed as if he was fated to meet this young man tonight?

The strange feeling grew more intense. 

Qin Yu said, “What is your name?”

The young man hesitated before saying, “Chen She.”

Qin Yu thought about it before stepping back and disappearing.

“Ah!”

Chen She received a shock but he quickly covered his mouth, not daring to let another sound out. This was not a place that a bastard like him was qualified to enter. If he was found out, he would be beaten almost to death. 

But was that man just now the rumored immortal? He came and went without a trace. He was even more powerful than in the stories!

Chen She looked annoyed. He did not take the chance to ask to be his disciple earlier. That would have been great. 

Just as the young man was regretting, Qin Yu arrived at Great Qin’s Ancestral Dragon Land.

Below Cool Mountain, Niu Village!

As the ancestral land, it also contained the founding ancestor’s memorial. This place was heavily guarded and even a bird could not enter. 

To Qin Yu, this was like entering no man’s land. 

He was now standing at the foot of Cool Mountain, looking at the village. He could match many places with his memories. 

A dream that lasted till today and could even anger Great Qin…Qin Yu believed that this was the most ridiculous yet powerful dream in the world. 

He turned and look at a particular spot. Qin Yu could sense a familiar aura. 

It was Rourou!

Hmm, and there was something else. 

Without a doubt, everything here was linked to her. 

Truly!

Thinking about it, Qin Yu did not head directly to investigate that place. He had to find someone first – Cloud Mist Taoist!

Turning around, Qin Yu headed up Cool Mountain. Through reading the records, he confirmed that the national advisor had to have a say before the throne was passed down. 

The national advisor was Cloud Mist Taoist!

Only after he gave his approval could the throne inheritance occur. 

The Qin Empire’s inheritance was similar to that of Great Qin in the Central Desolate. Cloud Mist Taoist was clearly a crucial step. 

Whether this person’s existence was intentional, he would find out and solve the mystery!

As he headed up the mountain, though it was heavily guarded, no one noticed Qin Yu’s presence. 

Even if he walked right in front of them, no one seemed to notice. 

Very soon, Qin Yu reached the halfway point, outside Cool Pavilion. Taking a look, he then stepped right into the pavilion. 

“Ancestor is speaking about dao today, we cannot be late!”

“Hurry hurry. This is the biggest chance we will have in our cultivation.”

“If I can have a realization today, the rewards will be immense!”

A group of people rushed into the pavilion excitedly. 

Qin Yu followed them in.
