Refining the Mountains and Rivers Chapter 561A – The Confident Fang Family

Chapter 561A – The Confident Fang Family

Qin Yu’s mind had thoroughly calmed down. However, if he wanted his Emperor level Demon Body to rise to the Saint level, that wasn’t something that could be accomplished with cultivating alone. As for the blood of a Calamity Immortal demon beast, that wasn’t something he had the means to obtain.

Perhaps he needed to find an opportunity to bring this up with the Demon Envoy and see if he had any way.

While he couldn’t promote his Demon Body for the time being, he couldn’t stop other aspects of his cultivation. Even if he became the Holy Monarch, if he didn’t have a suitable cultivation to go with it he wouldn’t be able to obtain the complete authority of the Holy Monarch.

His cultivation of the path of water was gradually improving and he didn’t need to spend much thought on it. But besides that, there was something that could help his strength drastically rise.

That was the Monster Raising Mystic Art!

After the purpleback bluewing ants completed the first step of their transformation they had fallen into a deep slumber. With his current status, wanting to further cultivate them was much simpler. When they finished their second transformation, his strength would rise to a new level. Once they completed their third transformation, they would be enough for him to completely crush common Calamity Immortals.

Qin Yu’s thoughts turned. As he was contemplating how to cultivate the purpleback bluewing ants, a visitor came to the Holy Son Palace. When he stated his ident.i.ty, the previously cold and disdainful True Demon Guards outside quickly bowed, respect in their voices.

The visitor said, “Please pa.s.s a message to His Highness the Holy Son that Zhao Qianyuan would like to request a meeting.”

The several True Demon Guards hurriedly said, “Please wait a moment. I will pa.s.s on the message for you.”

One of the guards turned and left in a hurry.

A moment later, Qin Yu met this unexpected visitor in the hall. He smiled and said, “I originally thought that you would come visit in the Holy Palace, but no matter how long I waited you didn’t come. Don’t you feel this is a little too troublesome?”

Zhao Qianyuan said, “There are many eyes within the Holy Palace. That isn’t a good place to talk in private.” He looked Qin Yu in the eyes, “The reason I came now is because there are some words I wish to say to Your Highness. Can we speak somewhere else?”

Qin Yu’s eyes flashed. “Since Brother Zhao asked, there is no reason to refuse. Please follow me.” He stood up and led the way. The two left the hall and arrived at the area where Qin Yu normally cultivated. After telling the guards not to disturb him, he flicked his sleeves and closed the doors.

“It is quiet here. What does Brother Zhao have to say? Please speak.”

Zhao Qianyuan shook his head. “It’s still not enough.” He took out a seed similar to a walnut and with a flick of his finger, flung it to the ground. The seed took root in the floor and quickly drilled into the ground. Vines and branches rapidly grew outwards, and in several breaths of time they surrounded the entire hall.

Qin Yu had a dignified expression. He didn’t know what this vine was but it was able to block his perception. He couldn’t sense anything outside the hall at all.

“Alright.” Zhao Qianyuan looked up, his expression suddenly changing. “Your Highness, aren’t you worried that I have ill intent and am trying to harm you?”

Qin Yu shook his head, “If Brother Zhao wanted to kill me, you would have simply attacked me. There is no need to go through so much trouble.”

Zhao Qianyuan was silent for a moment. He shook his head and said, “I had no idea that Your Highness trusts me so much.” There was a little more grat.i.tude in his eyes.

Then, Zhao Qianyuan’s expression turned dignified. “The things I say today might cause Your Highness to be unhappy, but I ask that you listen to me patiently first to avoid any potential future troubles.”

Qin Yu slowly nodded.

Zhao Qianyuan directly said, “On the day you broke free from the Endless Sea and the beam of light fell from the skies, that was because Your Highness borrowed an external force. But, does Your Highness know that this external force is actually an incredible hidden danger to you?”

Qin Yu’s expression immediately turned swift and sharp.

Zhao Qianyuan said, “It looks like Your Highness has already detected it. Then, that is much better. I don’t have to explain anything further.”

“No!” Qin Yu quickly said. “Brother Zhao, can you please tell me what this hidden danger is?”

Zhao Qianyuan smiled. “Your Highness, please rest a.s.sured that since I came here to visit you today, I won’t leave off half the explanation.” He lifted a hand and pointed a finger. Ripples appeared in the void and strange sounds suddenly rang out, ringing deep into the soul.

Although he couldn’t understand these syllables, Qin Yu wasn’t unfamiliar with these sounds. He slowly said, “So Brother Zhao was the same as me. It seems we’ve both had a similar lucky chance.”

Zhao Qianyuan took back his hand. The ripples faded, the sounds carrying with them a deep sense of vicissitude. “A very, very long time ago, in what can be called the ancient era, that was when the cultivation civilization was at its pinnacle. Incomparably formidable existences were born in this world one after another, each one possessing the power to destroy the heavens and sunder the land. If we were to judge them from the viewpoint of our current era, these beings can be called spiritual G.o.ds.

“In theory, spiritual G.o.ds can live forever as undying beings. But in reality, they can also perish. Some of these spiritual G.o.ds that weren’t resigned to dying decided to step onto the road of defying the Heavenly Dao. Because they touched upon this great taboo, they initiated a great calamity, causing the heavens and earth to collapse. Almost every G.o.d fell as a result. But, the strength of the spiritual G.o.ds was too formidable. Even if they died, their incomplete will was still preserved. Or, to be more accurate, it is their incomplete G.o.dhead that remained behind.

“Through the long river of years, the vast majority of G.o.dheads have been thoroughly annihilated. Only a few extremely lucky or extremely strong G.o.dheads were able to be preserved. If future cultivators were to obtain these G.o.dheads and fuse them into their bodies, they could obtain the strength of those incomplete G.o.dheads…”

Zhao Qianyuan’s eyes were deep and profound. He looked straight at Qin Yu, “You must know that even an incomplete G.o.dhead possesses a terrifying might.”

The hall immediately fell silent. After a long time, Qin Yu finally said, “I obtained a G.o.dhead?”

Zhao Qianyuan nodded, no expression on his face. “Although the spiritual G.o.d has died, as long as their G.o.dhead hasn’t dispersed, they may be reborn once they find suitable soil.”

Qin Yu stiffened. A dense chill percolated in the air, instantly pa.s.sing straight into his bones!

Zhao Qianyuan pointed at his chest and then pointed at Qin Yu. He succinctly said, “You and I are the soil!”

Before Qin Yu could regain his composure, his soul s.p.a.ce blew up like water thrown into oil. Meimei was the first to leap up. Her eyes s.h.i.+ned as she shouted, “G.o.dhead? There’s actually a G.o.dhead!”

The purple moon brightened. A rich purple moonlight illuminated the entire soul s.p.a.ce.

At almost the same time, the phantom of the blue sun arrived. Both lights collided together, unexpectedly emitting a harsh sound.

“Eat…I have to eat it…”

Meimei nodded repeatedly, her face twitching from excitement. “Big sister moon, big brother sun, you are both right. To refuse the gifts given to us by heaven is a sin in itself! We cannot let this great stroke of good fortune escape from our hands!”

She looked up, her eyes staring ruthlessly at Qin Yu’s soul. “You must revive the G.o.dhead otherwise I will complain to you every day! You will never have another moment of peace!”

Qin Yu was well aware of their response. His lips twitched subconsciously and his complexion became strange.

Meimei was fine, but what was the deal with the purple moon and blue sun? The first time they made a noise was for this sort of absurd situation?

And most importantly, if things had continued as they were, the situation would have immediately turned around without any preparations from him.

Should he continue to feel fear, or should he be chuckling silently to himself?

A trace of surprise flashed in Zhao Qianyuan’s eyes. He was thinking that Qin Yu would be worried or even afraid, but what was with his current expression? Not understanding his thoughts, Zhao Qianyuan mulled over it. Then he said in a low voice, “Your Highness cannot be too negligent. In the future it would be best not to use the power of the G.o.dhead, otherwise the degree of fusion will gradually awaken. Once the conditions of awakening are met, there will be trouble.”

Within Qin Yu’s soul s.p.a.ce, after repeatedly asking and reaffirming, he was left shocked. Just what sort of background did these three ‘wicked residents’ of his soul s.p.a.ce have? Not only were they confident in killing a G.o.d, but they were even excited about it.

Hearing Zhao Qianyuan’s words, he hesitated for a moment and then said, “Brother Zhao’s meaning is that as long as I constantly utilize the power of the G.o.dhead, I can accelerate its awakening, right?”

Zhao Qianyuan nodded. But, how come he felt that something didn’t seem right? He looked at Qin Yu’s face and the minor expressions on it. His eyes widened a little. “Your Highness, you aren’t planning to activate the G.o.dhead on your own initiative, right?”

Qin Yu waved his hand. “Of course not. I might have some degree of cultivation, but if I were to face off against a spiritual G.o.d from ancient times, isn’t that the same as courting death?” He sighed inwardly. He feared that after this he really would have to ‘court death’. However, Qin Yu decided that he needed to seriously negotiate with these three ‘wicked residents’ in his soul s.p.a.ce before doing anything.

Zhao Qianyuan couldn’t make out what Qin Yu was thinking. He earnestly said, “Your Highness must not attempt this, otherwise you will definitely regret it in the future.”

Qin Yu nodded. “I thank Brother Zhao for reminding me. I will pay attention to this in the future.” He thought about how Zhao Qianyuan came here on his own initiative to warn him, and he felt his heart warm a little. Because he didn’t want to accidentally blurt anything out, he changed the topic, “In several days I will be holding a banquet for all quarters. If Brother Zhao has free time, perhaps you would like to stay here for a period.”

Zhao Qianyuan said, “If Your Highness asked me to leave, I would still try to stay behind even if I were to embarra.s.s myself. I came to visit this time to inform Your Highness about the G.o.dhead, but there is also a favor I would like to ask of you.”

Qin Yu said, “Brother Zhao, please speak.”

Zhao Qianyuan smiled. “It isn’t something that would be too difficult for Your Highness. Because of cultivation reasons, I need to find several nine line blood lotuses. Although they can’t be considered too precious, because they are difficult to grow it is rare to find those with nine lines. Moreover, because blood lotuses have the effect of extending one’s life after growing nine lines, it is hard to find them in the current market.”

Qin Yu’s thoughts turned. “Brother Zhao would like me to release this news?”

Zhao Qianyuan clapped his hands. “That’s right. With Your Highness’s status, as long as you let out a rumor that you need blood lotuses, there will surely be someone eagerly sending them to you.” He revealed an awkward expression. “It’s just that I urgently need blood lotuses and I cannot slowly search for them. If I have been disrespectful to Your Highness, I ask that you forgive me.”

Qin Yu waved his hand. “Brother Zhao, there is no need to feel embarra.s.sed. Compared to the information you provided me, this is only a small effort. I will immediately pa.s.s out orders. I hope you can find a harvest.”
