Refining the Mountains and Rivers Chapter 1395

Chapter 1152: Disappearing is Death

Qin Yu took a deep breath and looked down at the shivering Old Turtle who had shrunk into a ball from fear. His expression was cold, “Even if the main body that cultivated the Path of 10,000 Souls severs the relationship of their own volition, the other party still will not obtain freedom?”

Old Turtle really was going to cry. He shivered and put on a long face, “No…it cannot…once the connection is severed…the fragment soul will fade away…”

Rumble rumble –

The sounds of thunder rose dramatically. A million bolts of lightning tore through the darkness, illuminating his tightly closed eyes and trembling body.

Old Turtle cried out loud. As faint traces of lightning fell onto him, it was like long whips being cracked over his body, leaving behind long lines of blood. He tumbled on the ground, but he didn’t dare to resist and only passively withstood all of this.

Qin Yu acknowledged that at this moment he had murderous intent in mind. He wished he could tear Old Turtle to shreds. But he also knew that if it weren’t for Old Turtle creating the Path of 10,000 Souls, he would have never had a chance to meet Ning Ling, and he would have none of the memories they shared.

Because she was not supposed to be a living being that appeared in the bright, living world. It was because of the Path of 10,000 Souls that he was able to meet her.

Moreover, even if he killed Old Turtle, so what? Everything was doomed and nothing could be changed.

The clouds remained dark. The sounds of thunder gradually vanished. After being saved from the precipice of death, Old Turtle sobbed out loud and collapsed to the ground.

He was truly afraid. Just now, he had been able to clearly feel the flavor of death wrap around him.

It was even more terrifying than what he felt in the Nightmare Ancestral Land!

Old Turtle feared death, yet this was the first time he had been so close to it. As he did, he discovered death was far more terrifying than he imagined.

Tears and snot rolled down his face!

Even at this moment when Qin Yu’s heart was heavy and gloomy, his lips still twitched when he saw Old Turtle’s appearance.

This fellow, he actually feared death to such a degree. He really was a rare and wonderful creature!

Who would have expected that this would be the end result of coming to the abyss and then trying to find a way to undo the Path of 10,000 Souls? Qin Yu was dazed for a time. What should he do now?

Leave the abyss?

His eyes flashed a few times, before a sharp light crossed them…that’s right, he should leave.

He needed to return to the vast and bright living world. He needed to return to Ning Ling’s side…he forced himself to calm down. His thoughts raced. Although he wasn’t able to rescue Ning Ling, if he was strong enough, strong enough to threaten the Peach Blossom Spring Master…

Then he could force the peach-planting woman to not take back the fragment soul that was Ning Ling…she would still live on for a long time.

Taking a step back, this was the only solution he could think of in this situation.

The bloodstains that covered Old Turtle quickly disappeared. He looked at Qin Yu in fear and wiped away his snot and tears. “Actually…it’s not necessarily true that there is no chance…even if I am a shadow of the abyss, my strength is limited…if you can find someone who is strong enough, perhaps they can forcibly break the imprisonment of the Path of 10,000 Souls.”

Hearing this, Qin Yu looked down.

Old Turtle screamed in fear. “It’s true! I’m speaking the truth! There are no absolutes in the world. Even though you and I think that something is impossible, that is only limited to the current stage we can see. If you have enough strength, anything is possible!”

Qin Yu’s eyes brightened.

That’s right. Because of his psychological shock and turbulent emotions, he hadn’t thought of this.

Old Turtle might be the inventor of the Path of 10,000 Souls, but no matter how fantastical and marvelous he was, he was just a shadow of the abyss.

Facing the Path of 10,000 Souls, Old Turtle was at a loss. But what if it was the abyss’ will itself that personally took action? Then breaking it wasn’t impossible!

With this thought in mind, Qin Yu’s spirits were roused. As long as there was a chance, there was no need to feel despair.

Even if he knew that it was impossible to ask the abyss’ will for help.

At least there was still hope!

As long as Ning Ling lived and continued to live, there would come a day when Qin Yu might be able to move the abyss’ will – or an existence on the same level – to help.

In fact…he himself might have a chance of growing up to become an existence comparable to the abyss’ will!

In the long river of time, who knew what the future would bring?

In the past he was as low and humble as an ant. When his old wounds flared up and he struggled to survive in the face of death, did he imagine there would be today?

Seeing Qin Yu’s complexion become much better and most of the deathly stillness and killing intent in his eyes fade away, Old Turtle really wanted to cry.

Of course it wasn’t because of fear, but because of joy. He could continue living…he didn’t want to experience a scene similar to today!

Sobbing a few more times, Old Turtle wanted to display his own value. Like this, if he accidentally offended Qin Yu in the future, then Qin Yu might hesitate to kill him because of his value and wouldn’t immediately threaten to break him into pieces.

“Cough cough…in truth, you have the aura of such a formidable existence master. Although they aren’t strong to the point where they can compare to the abyss’ will, the difference isn’t that large. If you can ask them for help, then it might be possible.”

Qin Yu thought that he was speaking about the little blue lamp. He shook his head, “Its current strength isn’t enough.” In order to grasp the source mark of Old Turtle, Old Turtle learned a little about the existence of the little blue lamp.

Old Turtle blinked his eyes. “I am not referring to that lord, but another…” He grasped his head, “I cannot sense it too clearly. That lord should be a woman. Her power descended to your side.”

Qin Yu immediately realized that Old Turtle was speaking about Feature!

That’s right!

He could also ask Feature for help!

He had no idea when the little blue lamp would restore its strength. But without a doubt, Feature was an incomparably formidable existence.

There was no need to doubt this. To send her projection into the abyss and suppress Elder Ao Fa, just these two points were enough to prove her great strength.

Although he had no idea why Feature appeared beside him, and he also had no idea why she helped him, since she did help him it meant that Qin Yu was worthy of being helped…it wasn’t impossible for him to ask her for help once more.

Relatively speaking he hadn’t spent much time with Feature, but they were unusually close.

Qin Yu was certain he could persuade her!

“You’re right. I can ask Feature for help.” Qin Yu muttered beneath his breath, excitement dawning on his face.

Seeing his advice accepted, Old Turtle smiled. “Feature? Is that the name of that formidable existence? If she is willing to send a projection to your side, then she must be close with you. If master is willing to plead for help, I’m sure she will agree!”

Qin Yu was startled. He looked at Old Turtle and suddenly felt as if he had forgotten something.

It was extremely important!

What was it?

After being closely stared at by Qin Yu, Old Turtle stiffened. Things were going well just a while ago, so what had happened now?

Qin Yu, can you not change your mood so quickly? It’s very frightening!

Old Turtle might be roaring this in his heart, but he didn’t dare to express it. He braced himself and said, “Master, what is it?”

Qin Yu took a deep breath, a cloudy look in his eyes. After several breaths of time he slowly said, “Why weren’t you willing to disappear?”

His voice was rough and cracked.

Old Turtle was stunned. Was there a need to ask such a question? Disappearing was death, and death was when everything was finished.

I love the abyss so much, so why would I willingly give up and die like that?

He coughed and looked at Qin Yu carefully. He looked normal. So why did he ask such an abnormal question?

“Uh…master, if I disappear then I will die.”

Qin Yu waved a hand. “You are just a shadow of the abyss. After you vanish you will return to the main body of the abyss. The memories will still remain…the abyss is you, and you are also the abyss, so how can you say you will die?”

Old Turtle looked at Qin Yu, thinking that if he was so powerful, how could he not know about something like this? His level seemed a bit low.

Even though he secretly despised Qin Yu, he quickly replied, “Master, that matter isn’t what you think it is like. How to say…let me use myself as an example. Long ago, the will of the abyss passed over a large lake and inadvertently revealed a trace of aura. So, a shadow formed on the lake’s surface. That is how I was born.

“After passing through my initial unawareness, I awakened my own consciousness. I lingered in that great lake for many years until one day I received an order from the abyss’ will. It seemed to have discovered the existence of the shadow I was and didn’t wish for me to continue existing.”

Old Turtle’s complexion turned ugly, dark to the point of dripping water. Even though countless years had passed, he still felt unhappy about his beginnings. “I almost died. As I was about to completely dissipate, I suddenly regained my senses. Why did I have to obediently disappear? So I ran away. I ran and ran and hid away for many years. Master should understand what happened after that.”

He looked at Qin Yu and took a deep breath. “The reason I said all of this is because I want to specifically explain this to master. If I disappear, I will disappear completely…mm, you were right. My memories will still exist, but to the endlessly long existence that is the abyss’ will, this is just a flicker in time. It wouldn’t be paid any attention and it is impossible to have any influence on the main body.

“In fact, at the moment I vanish, my memories might be erased…as if I never existed at all. So when it concerns me, disappearing is true death. There will be no traces of me left in this world.”
