Refining the Mountains and Rivers Chapter 1752

Chapter 1473: Grand Divine Nation

The journey proceeded smoothly and they reached the Teleportation Portal in Seascape City. The men at the Teleportation Portal were informed beforehand and they made the necessary preparations.

Under countless gazes that were filled with awe, respect, or resentment, the black carriage arrived at the Teleportation Portal first. Next were the knights on their war horses.

Situated on the vast plains, the massive Teleportation Portal to the capital looked like a bottomless pit that would swallow everyone within. Inside the carriage, Qin Yu frowned slightly as he turned to look behind him.

“It is Xu Shen.” Hundred Saint calmly responded. Once he entered the carriage, his face relaxed, “He is the assistant general of Chen Yuanshen and he became a True Saint a long time ago. It is rumored that he is close to breaking through; he is good.”

He paused and scanned the eyes under the black robe before continuing, “The only weakness that he has is that he is relatively narrow-minded and he holds grudges…you embarrassed him in Moon Brothel and with his nature, he will definitely hold this grudge.”

Qin Yu frowned and said, “Thank you for the reminder. I now have another enemy.” Although Qin Yu said this, he was not too bothered. The more enemies he had, the more he became immune to it…what significance did Xu Shen have?

Hundred Saint smiled slightly and looked at the Darkness Ruler under the black robe. The more the Darkness Ruler cracked jokes, the more Hundred Saint felt that he was a calm person who controlled himself.

To Hundred Saint, they were at a critical juncture. If they could cross it, their powers would be looked highly upon. At that time many people would extend a hand to the Darkness Ruler.

Giving a helping hand in dire need was eventually just icing on the cake. What Hundred Saint was doing now was precisely giving a hand to the Darkness Ruler.

As he thought of this, Hundred Saint secretly scanned a horse carriage behind him. A look of satisfaction crossed his face.

There was a dark look in Xu Shen’s eyes and he muttered to himself, “Darkness Ruler…you won the round in Moon Brothel but the battle between us is not over.”

He turned around and said, “Report to the City Governor. The West Border Army has escorted the men away. We do not have to be on heightened alert for the city security anymore.”

“Yes, Assistant General!”

The city army bowed before they turned and left.

……

West Border, capital city.

As the heart of the empire, was not just a very large city. More accurately, it was comprised of three parts, namely, the Capital Border Area, the Capital City, and the Imperial Palace that was largely hidden and under strict security.

All Teleportation Portals that connected to the capital were built on the edge of the capital border. Apparently, aside from the few Teleportation Portals built deep within the Imperial Palace, no one was allowed to build Teleportation Portals for themselves. Violators would be persecuted severely!

This was naturally to ensure the safety of the capital. No one would be able to enter the internal capital even if a great calamity occurred.

As one of the most prestigious and well-known cities in the Desolate Area, it handled a lot of people and business exchanges every day.

This resulted in a large number of Teleportation Portals by the capital border. It had one of the largest numbers of Teleportation Portals in an area – the scale and size of the entire array allowed it to have an impressive transportation capacity.

Brilliant light rays would shoot up to the sky frequently, indicating that someone had arrived to the city or someone else was leaving.

It was not easy to live in the capital!

Although it was the busiest city in the Desolate Area, it was the dream of many people to live here as it represented boundless opportunities. A single opportunity was all it took for someone to grow leaps and bounds and become an idol that others would admire.

Seated in the horse carriage, the entire journey appeared peaceful and calm. It wasn’t until Qin Yu heard the sound of the wheels rolling on the ground that he realized he had already reached the massive city.

Hundred Saint had his eyes closed while resting. He slowly opened his eyes and they glimmered, “We are finally back!”

He could not hide the excitement in his voice.

Qin Yu reached an arm forward to open the windows. Looking out, he caught sight of the towering city that looked like a giant beast resting on the ground.

Above him, there were nine large suns hanging in the air. However, the city gave him a feeling that all light was hidden.

Dominance, power and solemness felt like it would swallow Rulers and all creatures in the world!

There was a momentary lack of focus in Qin Yu’s eyes. A while later, he sighed deeply to suppress his feelings.

Hundred Saint smiled, “The capital is the most prominent city in the West Desolate. Aside from First Emperor City in the Central Desolate, the capital can be considered the next best city in the Desolate Area.”

His voice was full of pride.

Qin Yu nodded slowly, “It is truly a bustling city…” Hundred Saint would never imagine that the lamenting tone in Qin Yu’s voice was driven by him imagining how he would destroy the city!

It was certainly bold of Qin Yu to even think of such a scenario considering his current cultivation. However, the fact that he dared to have this thought showed how unique he was compared to other cultivators.

Of course, it could also be interpreted as Qin Yu’s desire to kill being at its peak!

In order to cover up his real emotions and perhaps to distract himself from the fearful thoughts in his heart, Qin Yu sighed and slowly asked, “Hundred Saint, I need your advice.”

Hundred Saint shifted in his seat and took on a more comfortable position, “What is it?”

Qin Yu said, “From when I entered the West Desolate till I entered the capital, I found that majority of the people I have seen are ordinary people. Why is that so?”

This question had been puzzling him for a while.

Hundred Saint smiled, “About this, right, when you were in the fragmented area, it was rare for cultivators to be with ordinary people. But this is unique to the fragmented area. It is also because the average cultivation rank in the fragmented area is low that it resulted in that situation…it is a little complicated to explain it fully but it can be summarised as follows – ordinary men are here to support cultivators endlessly.”

Qin Yu jumped in realization. He rose in power too quickly and he had a limited understanding of the common knowledge of the powerful.

This included offspring!

Hundred Saint glanced at his reaction, “You realized? As cultivators grow in power and they gradually crossed life boundaries, it becomes harder and harder to bear offspring. This is similar to powerful creatures that have intense bloodlines. Their priority is to have children to continue their lineage. However, this is not a job that can be done easily overnight.”

Qin Yu’s lips twitched. Why did he have to crack a joke in the midst of his explanation? His thoughts were almost disrupted.

Strictly speaking, a majority of cultivators in this world, regardless of their current cultivation, started off from being weak.

Only those with massive vitality could create more offspring and continue the legacy of outstanding talents to preserve the cultivation world.

Without ordinary living beings, the lively world of cultivators would be a tree without its roots. It appeared lustrous and healthy but once it no longer had water, it would die of thirst.

However…

Qin Yu’s eyes flashed. Although Hundred Saint was right, he had not given the full picture.

Qin Yu had not sensed this beforehand but after he entered the Capital Border Area, he could see the walls erected around the capital. He could vaguely sense a secret – Faith! Or rather the smell of incense!

That’s right, just like when Qin Yu stole chicken overlord’s Divine Nation and gathered the followers’ faith to strengthen himself…the West Desolate was an extreme form of a grand Divine Nation!

Qin Yu’s heart was full of shock and his emotions wildly rushed up his chest.

Although he felt astonishing power after he obtained the Divine Nation and he knew that it was not something ordinary cultivators would come into contact with, he never imagined that it could be crafted to form such a spectacular scenario.

His intuition told him that his guess was correct. The West Desolate was a Divine Nation on the largest scale.

Evidently, in order to pull off such a large scheme, there would have been many twists and turns and difficulties in the process.

However, this find made Qin Yu shocked but at the same time more confident.

So what about the West Desolate? It was just a grand Divine Nation, he had a Divine Nation himself too!

Ignoring the huge disparity in power, they were essentially the same thing. It was not too scary to take the West Desolate on.

With this thought, Qin Yu could slowly suppress the nervousness he felt.

Chicken overlord had been exceptionally quiet ever since they entered the West Desolate. When things settled down, Qin Yu decided to have a good talk with him regarding the Divine Nation.

What did that dead White Ape give chicken overlord? Was it something seemingly plain-looking but carrying deep secrets?

Hundred Saint looked surprised. He glanced at the Darkness Ruler who was obviously deep in thought. Was there a need for him to be so intrigued over such a simple thing?

Oh, he must still be surprised after entering the capital.

The Darkness Ruler must have been suppressing his feelings just now but once he got distracted, he became engrossed in marvelling over the capital.

Hundred Saint could understand this and he did not mock the Darkness Ruler at all.

Any ant would feel overwhelmed by massive things once it was enlightened…this mirrored what Qin Yu was feeling internally now.

Of course, Qin Yu, under the guise of the Darkness Ruler, should not have his power compared to an ant.

However, if one looked at the West Desolate as a whole with its heart as the capital, Qin Yu could only be compared to an ant against its terrifying power.

This was all he was. It was not an exaggeration!
