Refining the Mountains and Rivers Chapter 926

Chapter 769A

A domain world was formed by an Eternal’s thoughts. It was regarded as reality and also illusion; it was in an overlapping state with the real world. But as the mind of the domain’s master changed, this could interfere with its existence in the real world.

So at this moment, the entire banquet was included within the controller’s world of flames. But to everyone other than Scarlet Sky, these flames were only an illusion and wouldn’t bring any harm to them.

Of course, with the strength level of an Eternal, those here could clearly feel the strength contained within these ‘illusionary’ flames. Once they erupted they would be enough to burn this entire celestial mountain into nothingness.

However, as long as Scarlet Sky wasn’t insane, he wouldn’t dare to include this banquet in his contest of power. Otherwise, without that clan needing to do anything, he would get himself into a great deal of trouble. Numerous Eternals had come to participate in today’s banquet and the guests being entertained here had considerable statuses. The people sitting behind the first three white jade tables were all characters that could shake the endless heavens with a stomp of their feet!

The undying flames rapidly faded away to reveal Scarlet Sky’s figure. His face was white and his robes were torn open and dyed red. But not only did he not seem weaker, instead he seemed sharper and more keen, as if he could pierce through the world.

The solemn expression in Empress’s eyes dispersed. She cupped her hands together and said, “Congratulations fellow daoist. You have broken through the long imprisonment of your cultivation today and have taken another step further.”

Eternals lived as long as the world and didn’t have to endure the suffering of their vitality draining away. With just a thought, they could summon catastrophes and their strength was difficult to imagine. But on the road of cultivation, no such thing as an end point existed. Even those that became Eternals didn’t dare say that they were anywhere near the peak.

It had to be known that the Great Dao was endless!

To be able to take another step forward in the Eternal boundary, even if this was only a minor promotion, it still produced an astonishing qualitative change. Scarlet Sky’s aura was weak, but everyone could sense that he had changed.

They revealed looks of envy.

“Congratulations, fellow daoist Scarlet Sky!”

“Amongst the Eternals, Brother Scarlet Sky can now be ranked in the top 10!”

“From this point on, fellow daoist Scarlet Sky can freely roam the vast world!”

The Eternals all spoke up in congratulations. Even if Scarlet Sky was now an enemy of that clan, they didn’t need to worry about this too much. After all, as Eternals, they still had their own dignity and status that could not be neglected.

Even that formidable clan couldn’t develop hostilities against them just because they spoke a few words of congratulations. Otherwise that would rally together crowds to attack them.

Moreover, after today’s breakthrough, if that clan wanted to kill Scarlet Sky the difficulty had become more than ten times greater. This meant the arrival of numerous other variables.

Scarlet Sky’s expression was calm. “Thank you, fellow daoist! Just now, I killed off the cultivator from that clan’s bloodline, and now I have become completely at odds with them. My road will be difficult in the future and I fear I won’t have the chance to enjoy wine and dance like today with you all.”

He raised a wine pot. “Then with this pot of good wine, I bid my farewells to fellow daoists. If I don’t die in the future, I vow to personally invite you all to another banquet so that we may drink to our heart’s content.”

He reared back his head and gulped down the entire pot of wine before smashing it into the ground. He turned and walked away, loudly saying, “There are countless methods in this world, but I love only sabers. Even with a thousand challenges against me, I will break open my own path. Even if I die I will not complain…with my saber out, I will no longer regret.”

As Scarlet Sky walked away, his voice reverberated through the world and echoed in the hearts of the Eternals present.

Perhaps this was the key reason for which Scarlet Sky was able to break out of a hopeless situation. By placing himself on the precipice of death before struggling for a way to live, he no longer hesitated anymore.

Maybe this resolve wasn’t suitable for everyone, but at least it gave a possible new direction for the Eternals here to try.

Using this common-seeming method, Scarlet Sky shared the attainments he made through his breakthrough with those present. Because of that, the Eternals here today owed him a favor, one that was not too large and not too small.

Scarlet Sky’s performance was perfect, and the truth was that it was even more perfect beneath the surface. While he had lost a Time Altar, he had sent out a seed. Perhaps he would have a much sweeter harvest in the future.

After he walked away, Scarlet Sky spat out a mouthful of blood. The wounds he suffered were far more serious than they appeared on the surface. If it weren’t for him making a breakthrough in his cultivation at that exact time, he feared he wouldn’t have been able to withstand that golden sword phantom. He would have likely been cut to pieces where he stood, greatly damaging his dao powers.

But as he spouted out a mouthful of blood, he laughed into the skies. This was because he sensed his judgment had been correct and the seed had been smoothly planted.

This might become another turning point in his future Great Dao!

Within the inner space of the Time Altar, the destructive power of time that erupted suddenly became warm and temperate. It quickly gathered together, turning into a seven-colored seed that fell between Qin Yu’s eyebrows, fusing within.

In Qin Yu’s soul space, the little blue lamp’s projection within the great sun phantom suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils flashing with brilliance. He grasped forward and grabbed the seed.

After thinking for a moment, he flicked his finger. From the seven-colored seed, three wisps of rainbow light flew out, twining around Qin Yu’s soul.

Like the aurora that spanned the sky in the deep winter night, it was incredibly beautiful. It made Qin Yu’s soul seem faintly ethereal and illusory.

After finishing this, the little blue lamp no longer hesitated. He grabbed tightly onto the seven-colored seed and the great sun phantom melted into space, vanishing from sight.

This extremely risky catastrophe, one in which death could occur at any moment, had finally come to an end.

As for what the future held, no one knew.

The condensed spatial channel rapidly shook and dissipated. This was because the source root it locked onto had vanished, and this was the same as losing the coordinate point. Without the coordinates of the transmission, it was doomed to fail.

That clansman who had been wandering the outside world by themselves and had comprehended the power of time had now died, and the one who killed him was Scarlet Sky.

The Patriarch’s avatar was expressionless. But it was also because of this that everyone could clearly feel the horrifying oppression coming from his body.

“Those that kill my clan’s bloodline must die!”

The Patriarch shouted. With a thought from his main body, his avatar vanished from sight.

In the great hall, the Patriarch opened his eyes. “Pass down my orders. From today onwards, the Eternal Scarlet Sky has entered the kill list of my clan.”

The man named Fall opened his eyes wide. “That clansman…”

The Patriarch was silent.

Fall was inexplicably sorrowful. When he discovered that the bloodline of his clan was unexpectedly wandering the outside world somewhere, he didn’t know why but he was extremely concerned about this matter. That was the reason he had been so impatient and directly came to see the Patriarch without passing on a report first. But what a pity, this was the final result.

That clansman had died. It was unknown which bloodline he had inherited and why he was wandering outside alone, but after perceiving the power of time, he had forever vanished.

Moreover, because he had touched the power of time, it was impossible to revive him from the river of time. There was no way to reverse this situation.

Fall took a deep breath and cupped his hands together. “Patriarch, I have served in the Ancestral Shrine for thousands of years. Please appoint an Elder to take over my work as soon as possible.”

The Patriarch furrowed his eyebrows together. “You want to go?”

Fall nodded. “Since that person killed a person of my clan’s bloodline, as a clan Elder, this is my duty.”

The Patriarch thought for a moment and nodded. “Very well. But, be careful. Daoist Scarlet Sky had made another breakthrough in his cultivation. He is no weaker than you.”

Fall turned and left. “I will bring back his head.”

Not too far away from the Shadow Clan’s dwelling, in a top inn that had been run successfully for hundreds of years, there was a finely decorated teahouse.

The array formation on the table that boiled the water was still revolving. The spirit water in the pot was already boiling and tumbling about. It made the smell of blood in the air even richer.

A head that had lost all blood and flesh fell down and smashed right onto the pot, breaking it into pieces. Burning hot steam passed through the head and came out from every orifice.

The tea-loving middle-aged man with great ambitions had schemed to push the knife in. But, what he didn’t expect was that the knife would be turned around and used against him. As a result, he was exterminated in both body and spirit. All that remained of him were his bones.

To create a false situation where the descendant of ‘that clan’ had died, Qin Yu’s aura alone was insufficient. Fresh blood was needed – enough that Scarlet Sky could come to a decision that he had successfully killed them.

As for this person, since he wanted to borrow the knife of others to kill, his aura had been drawn into the mess. The little blue lamp had traced this connection back the source and took his life as payback. This couldn’t be considered as having wronged him.

If you want to kill, don’t complain if you die instead!
