The Saints might not interfere, but since they arrived in the Endless Sea, they were able to sense everything that happened in this world.
They naturally saw that Qin Yu was in a difficult situation and his strength was almost dried up. Their eyes rippled.
In truth, Qin Yu lasting this long was beyond their expectations. They had no idea what origins that giant phantom behind him had, but they unexpectedly felt a vague sense of threat.
It could be seen that besides the Space Laws, this junior also had other hidden cards.
It really was a pity. If the Space Laws weren’t too precious, then this junior would be an excellent uncut jade. His future would be limitless.
But speaking about that now was meaningless.
This junior would likely use the Space Laws to escape. Once he did, then he would have failed the test.
At that time Peach Blossom Spring would have to retreat, and it would be their turn.
The Spring Master had always been true to his word, never reneging on a promise. The Saints never doubted him.
Their thoughts raced. They already started to consider what means they could use to take Qin Yu away. After all, there was only one person with the Space Laws, and yet seven Saints had arrived here!
There was going to be a competition!
A battle between Saints was a great event, one that rarely happened. But since this involved the Space Laws, none of them were willing to withdraw.
At this time, the eyes of the seven Saints erupted with a sharp light. Because Qin Yu’s aura had suddenly vanished!
He used the power of space!
Shua –
All eyes simultaneously fell on Peachy. She furrowed her eyebrows and said, “Since he hasn’t passed the test, then this person isn’t someone of Peach Blossom Spring. He shall be passed over to the Saints to be handled.”
She turned and started to walk away. But at this time, she muttered a light, “Huh?”, beneath her breath before she turned around and looked towards Qin Yu’s position, her eyes brimming with shining brilliance.
…
Qin Yu’s aura had suddenly vanished, but it wasn’t because he used the Space Laws to escape the encirclement of sea monsters. Peachy turned and said, “Saints, it seems everyone will have to wait a bit longer. He hasn’t failed yet.”
The seven Saints were expressionless. No matter what they were feeling inside, for someone who managed to step onto the path of Saints, not revealing their emotions was the most basic skill.
Of course, it was impossible to not be annoyed.
A giant furnace appeared within the mass of sea monsters, protecting Qin Yu inside. What was astonishing was that it was in a translucent state.
Although no aura leaked out, the sea monsters with their crazy red eyes were able to clearly see his figure inside.
Provocation. No matter how anyone saw it, this was a stark naked provocation. Here I am. If you have the ability then come and kill me!
An ordinary person wouldn’t even be able to endure this, much less a swarm of sea monsters that had been stimulated to the point of going crazy by the curse.
Bang –
Bang –
They attacked the great furnace with all their strength, even breaking their bodies apart in the process.
The seven Saints saw everything happen. Their eyes flashed with surprise before they composed themselves. Even in the eyes of a Saint, the defensive ability of this great furnace was astonishing.
But the logic of ants biting an elephant to death was not only applicable to living creatures. It could also be used on this great furnace.
What it faced now was an endless number of sea monsters that didn’t fear death. Perhaps they might not be able to cause damage to the great furnace with their individual attack strength, but there were so many that all those attacks would eventually begin to add up.
Even if it had some power, how long could a lifeless object last? It was just a matter of time! Perhaps Qin Yu could temporarily survive, but this was only temporary. The furnace would eventually be broken by the sea monsters!
At that time, only two choices would be placed before Qin Yu. He could either wait for death…or use the Space Laws to retreat.
But in fact, the end result of these two choices was about the same. In other words, as long as this great furnace was destroyed, that would be when Qin Yu died.
The Saints waited for the great furnace to be crushed to pieces.
But this thing’s defensive capabilities were far greater than they imagined. After suffering countless attacks from sea monsters, it still retained its original appearance.
It seemed that the badly beaten sea monsters, who even killed themselves in their attempts, could do nothing against it no matter how crazed they had become.
Peachy’s eyes were calm, and a light flowed in their depths. It was only now that she began to believe he was the person her father spoke of. Although many years had passed, she still had an impression of this person.
It wasn’t that he left behind a deep impression when they met in the past. In fact, the two sides hadn’t even spoken a single word to each other.
But for some unknown reason, when she looked at Qin Yu she always felt that he was somewhat familiar. As she slept for these past years, she even dreamed of him at times. This was especially true in recent years…Peachy discovered that Qin Yu’s figure began to appear in her dreams more and more often.
Her father had said that their destinies were intertwined. What was the meaning of that? She had asked her father, but he simply smiled and waved his hand.
If Qin Yu really could survive and become a cultivator of Peach Blossom Spring, she had to figure out just who this person was.
As Peachy was deep in contemplation about who he was, and the seven Saints were furrowing their eyebrows, Qin Yu let out a long breath.
This plan really did work!
When he summoned the great furnace, he had no assurance in this plan. But as time passed he could sense through the iron lump that the furnace hadn’t sustained any substantial damage.
In other words, the crazy attacks of the sea monsters were just suicidal. They had no practical effect!
He had picked up a treasure!
Although he knew that the great furnace was an exceptional treasure before, he discovered that he still underestimated it.
Not to mention the terrifying fluctuations of strength contained within the great furnace, just its incomparable defensive powers left Qin Yu shocked and overjoyed.
Ignoring all else for now, just the fact that he had the protection of this great furnace suddenly caused Qin Yu’s current situation to brighten up.
Who cared about the curse of the sea spirit? The sea monsters in the Endless Sea had limited strength. Even the fiercest among them wouldn’t be able to kill Qin Yu in a short period of time.
As long as they couldn’t kill him, Qin Yu could hide in the great furnace. Once he recovered, he could leave again. He could repeat this as many times as he wanted.
The more he thought about it, the more positive his outlook became!
Qin Yu suddenly thought that killing all the sea monsters in the Endless Sea wasn’t something that would be impossible for him.
Old Turtle suddenly said, “Master, if you can kill off all the sea monsters and forcibly break through the curse, perhaps there might be an accidental harvest.”
Qin Yu’s eyes flashed, “What?”
“Curse immunity! Of course, this sort of immunity has its limits, but it is still very useful.” Old Turtle said, “Once you have condensed this immunity, every sea monster you have killed will become a part of this immunity. Anyone that dares to place another curse on you will face a backlash…in other words, the more sea monsters you kill, the better the immunity will be. Of course, the premise is that you must forcibly break the curse…by killing them all…or killing them until they collapse and flee.”
Qin Yu was immediately moved. Only after personally experiencing it did he understand how bad it was to provoke things like curses.
And more importantly, he indeed had the chance to forcibly break the curse. All he had to do was waste some more time.
But even so, Qin Yu still had scruples. Right now, every sea monster in the Endless Sea had gone crazy, and the commotion was too large. It was inevitable that he would attract attention.
The best choice was to leave this place as fast as he could. If he was greedy about this curse immunity and the Saints turned back and caught him, he wouldn’t even be able to cry.
He took a deep breath, suppressing the unwillingness and helplessness in his heart. It was impossible to take all things in the world. When choices were available, one had to be decisive!
“Whatever. Breaking the curse will take too much time. I will leave the Endless Sea first.”
Old Turtle paused for a few breaths of time and said, “Master is worrying that the Saints will return? In truth, that’s not necessary…”
Qin Yu’s eyes brightened. “Why?”
If possible, he certainly hoped he could obtain the power of curse immunity.
Old Turtle let out a breath and eerily said, “Because they have already returned.”
Qin Yu: …
If Old Turtle was standing in front of him, Qin Yu would have grabbed his neck and slapped his lips a few times.
Bastard, do you not know what people mean when they say jinxes keep crowing about disaster? After eating that spirit body, do you think you’ve grown wings and can suddenly do whatever you want?
This was just too arrogant!
“Hoho, you’re too bold to joke with me about this kind of thing. But it’s not funny at all, so take it back.”
Old Turtle remained silent.
Qin Yu’s cold sneer stiffened and then was slowly restrained. He tensed up, shock and anger on his face.
“Old Turtle!”
He roared inside his heart.
“Master, it’s true!” Old Turtle’s voice was a bit crabbed, “Not long after you came out, the Saints arrived at the Profound Vision World.”
Qin Yu believed that with Old Turtle’s title of the one who feared death the most, after sensing his anger he wouldn’t dare to joke around anymore.
In other words, he was speaking the truth. Those incomparably terrifying Saints with unfathomable cultivation levels had come back.
Perhaps now, in some corner, the Saints were quietly watching him from afar…like watching a monkey play around.
The more he thought about it the more he tensed up. He forced himself to calm down as he restrained his thoughts.
That didn’t make sense. If the Saints returned, would they watch him just jump around while doing nothing? After learning about the significance of the Space Laws, Qin Yu was well aware that for Saints who hadn’t mastered the Space Laws, he was like a piece of large and fragrant roasted pork, the kind that they would never share with anyone.
“You must know something, so stop making me guess. Otherwise if I suffer bad luck, I’ll make sure to break you to pieces first!”
Old Turtle coughed a few times and hurriedly said, “Master, don’t be anxious. In fact, I can’t sense it clearly, so I only have a few minor guesses.”
Qin Yu clenched his teeth and spat out, “Tell me!”
If Old Turtle dared to waste another word…!
Old Turtle clearly understood Qin Yu’s mood. “Master, there are seven Saint auras. But above those seven, there is one that is even stronger.
“Uh…to be exact, the stronger one arrived after the seven Saints came to the Profound Vision World. Since then it has kept silent and hasn’t made a move.”
Qin Yu’s eyes flashed, “And?”
Old Turtle said, “Master, this is what I think. After the Saints discovered you, there was no reason for them to remain silent. Since they are silent, that means an even more formidable will has forced them to hold themselves back for the time being.”
“It’s that stronger aura?”
“Yes.”
“How much stronger is it?”
“Much, much stronger.”
Qin Yu rubbed his forehead, his thoughts beginning to race. If the seven Saints returned, it had to be due to the changes in the Endless Sea. He didn’t believe that the Saints had enough leisure time to watch him fight off the sea monsters. They clearly cared about his Space Laws.
If they had a goal but didn’t do anything, then Old Turtle’s explanation was the only possibility. A stronger existence was stopping them.
But why was it stopping them?
If it was just to take his Space Laws, then according to Old Turtle, the much stronger one would have just taken him.
One strong and seven weak, the eight Saints were silent altogether. This was strange…Qin Yu’s eyes brightened. Had someone taken a liking to him?
He asked Old Turtle and obtained an affirmative reply; both of them believed the same thing. Although there was no evidence, this was the most likely possibility.
Assuming this was the case, the one who had taken a liking to him hadn’t intervened. But why? The most likely reason was to give Qin Yu another test.
For instance…the curse of the spirit body!
This was why Old Turtle ran out and mentioned the topic of the curse immunity, guiding Qin Yu towards the possibility of killing all the sea monsters.
Qin Yu had no idea if their guess was right, but there was one thing he knew for sure. Rushing out of the Endless Sea as fast as he could was not a good idea.
The reason was simple. The current situation was stable. But what if he fled and destroyed this stability? Not to mention that there was one strong and seven weak Saints, even the weakest among them could destroy Qin Yu with a single hand.
If he couldn’t run, that left him with one choice – to remain here and eliminate all the sea monsters, forcibly breaking the curse placed on him!
