Chapter 1724 – Sky Falling Mountain


    After the thirteenth day, Qin Yu sighed and could finally be at ease.


    The silvery white in theke of the Secret Sword Peak Realm was now much lighter. At that moment, there were ripples in the water. His left hand moved by itself, continuously touching a certain part of his body.


    If other unknowing people looked at this, they would have rolled their eyes and scoffed rudely.


    Thankfully, there was no one else present other than Rourou.


    White Feifei’s body appeared in theke water. Her eyes were rxed as they narrowed, “Sister, I am quite curious. What is different about this young brat that you are so fond of him? Luckily, we are sisters and we are also brothers in arms from now on. Can you leak some information to me?”


    Rourou was expressionless, “I also want to know the answer.”


    White Feifei was doubtful, “Are you sure?”


    Rourou frowned.


    She looked at Qin Yu’s hand and paused slightly.


    White Feifei acted cute again, “Sorry sister, I am already used to it. I am not doing it on purpose.”


    Rourou’s brows remained knitted together, “You know my personality well. It is better for you to cooperate with me. I sealed you in the past and I can do it again.”


    White Feifei shrunk inwardly and there was a bitter look on her face, “Sister, I have apologized already. Why do you have to scare me again?”


    Rourou said, “You had better remember my words clearly.” She waved her sleeve and caused an explosion in the water. White Feifei’s figure vanished.


    She lowered her head and looked at Qin Yu. After thinking for a bit, she turned and sat beside theke.


    Two dayster, the water was moving gently. Qin Yu slowly opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was Rourou sitting by the side.


    “You are awake. Come with me, there is something we must do.”


    Rourou lifted her hand and clenched it. She directly grabbed Qin Yu and left the Secret Sword Peak Realm.


    Qin Yu’s vision blurred and he felt giddy. After a while, he finally stabilized himself. He lifted his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, “What are you so anxious about?”


    He made a mental thought and steam started to form around him. His robe was dried clean.


    Rourou stated, “There is trouble from that n.”


    Qin Yu’s eyes brightened, “Tell me more.” Swallow Mountain was just a transfer point and he had not forgotten his real motive foring to the Central Deste.


    Rourou said, “When the severed hand was in you, the national advisor came…”


    A few momentster, there was silence in the hall. Qin Yu’s face darkened as he took in what Rourou said.


    He finally regained his senses.


    Firstly, that n was not having a good life in the Central Deste Divine area. It tried to pass on power and that’s why they targeted the Bull Family back then.


    The key was that the four sects and four families were fearful of the Bull Family. However, that n was pushing things in the dark and their objective was to push forward a fresh, appetizing prey that could fulfill everyone’s desire.


    The n was very big and their move against Bull Bean was the first step but also the most important step in their entire n.


    However, it was a pity that the start of their n did not proceed smoothly. They were foiled in their first move and it was hard to continue as nned.


    The Bull Family had avoided a cmity.


    This was the reason why Bull Dingtian chose to coborate with Rourou.


    The events in Swallow Mountain thereafter were also a move by that n.


    Firstly, destroying the Opening Heavens Sword Sect would benefit them.


    Secondly, they would have obtained White Feifei’s severed hand that would help them train a King realm swordsman. If they had seeded, they would have had a King realm swordsman in their n whose strength wasparable to a True King and who could suppress all other ns and keep their position steady. It was critical in buying time for that n.


    That n had made a lot of preparations for this. The Frost Cold Sword Sect was their first pawn and Pavilion Mountain Sword Sect was their next. This also exined why Pavilion Mountain Sect Master was the first toin when Qin Yu asked for a sacrifice for White Feifei back then. He had tried to instigate the rest into opposing Qin Yu.


    However, it was a pity that Pavilion Mountain Sect Master miscalcted and he brought about his death instead. He ended up as an empty cannon. Aside from that, the Jin Family, the elite sword family that Jin Geng was in, was also that n’s pawn.


    They had made a lot of preparations!


    Unfortunately, they had encountered Rourou who was a ck hole. No matter how many preparations they made, they ended up in failure. They were now facing the repercussions from the continuous failures added together with their failed move against the Bull Family.


    That n was going deeper and deeper down a hole.


    Bull Dingtian did not take direct action against that n but he did not stop pressuring his enemies, and those who felt his pressure directed all their anger to that n.


    In order to protect themselves, that n had no choice but to rely on the severed hand’s will to live making it show itself voluntarily.


    This was also the key thing that Rourou was talking about.


    Qin Yu lifted his head and slowly said, “This also means that aside from the Bull Family, the Qin Empire is our biggest ally.”


    “The Bull Family is, but not the Qin Empire.” Rourou’s expression was calm, “Qin Yu, you have to be clear. Anyone who you coborate with should cooperate with you on equal grounds. We can make use of the Qin Empire but we cannot rely on them. If there are more benefits presented to him in the future, that national advisor will sell us out in a moment.”


    Qin Yu nodded, “You are right.”


    Rourou continued, “Therefore, we have to operate discreetly. At a certain point, we will invite the Qin Empire. As long as they see benefits, the Qin Empire wille and help us.”


    Qin Yu said, “There is one thing that I don’t understand. Why is the Qin Empire against that n?”


    “Where the river flows, the Qin Empire is just a boat that sails along…also, that n upies a position but it has not produced many results. The Qin emperor wants to change things up.” Rourou’s lips curled up into a mocking smile, “That emperor, Xianyang, is truly a genius.”


    Qin Yu frowned.


    Rourou waved her hand and her expression turned serious, “You don’t have to bother about this. Prepare yourself to give them a surprise.” After this thing, if everything proceeded smoothly, Qin Yu would be able to survive by himself.


    Thirty years to enter the King realm was extremely difficult. Even if he was exceptionally talented, and even with Rourou’s help, he was not confident of attaining this goal.


    As such, from the very start, Rourou had prepared another path for Qin Yu.


    He did not need to enter the King realm but he would possess the strength of a King earlier on. By then, he would be able to survive even if he was faced with the most difficult scenarios.


    ……


    Thirteenth Floor, the Central Deste Immortal Land.


    This was a well known area in the Central Deste. Children would sing about thisnd and no one would show any disrespect to it.


    It was the might of the Thirteenth Floor – it exceeded the status of the four sects and families and it held an equal standing to the Great Qin Empire. White Jade Capital was almost a legendary existence now as it had not descended to the world in ten thousand years.


    “Ming Zhe, Sky Falling Mountain is going to open soon. You have stayed at the Celestial Gate threshold for so long and it is time for you to break through.”


    Ming Zhe bowed, “Thank you, Teacher.”


    He hesitated slightly and then said, “I heard that there are six openings for the Thirteenth Floor in Sky Falling Mountain. Can you tell me beforehand so that I can prepare?”


    Opposite him, the master of the Sixth Floor calmly stated six names.


    Ming Zhe bowed. Without waiting for any other instructions, he turned around and left respectfully.


    Once he was outside of his teacher’s cultivation grounds, Ming Zhe lifted his head and smiled.


    Li Ruhua…


    This junior sister was quite famous in the Thirteenth Floor now.


    She actually qualified to go along as well. Like his teacher said, she had extraordinary fate.


    Sky Falling Mountain was a mysterious ce that ordinary cultivators would not get close to. However, it was not strange for a cultivator to be at the Thirteenth Floor.


    The fate and opportunities for a cultivator were key to its fame.


    Once he thought of this, his eyes shed and Ming Zhe turned around, heading off in another direction.


    ……


    “Sky Falling Mountain is about to be opened. This fate is rted to White Iris; get her to prepare and leave as soon as you can.”


    In the closed cultivation area of Infinite Monastery, this calm voice sounded.


    “Yes.”


    The daoist child standing guard outside left hurriedly.


    The next day, Old Daoist Chen acted as a guardian. White Iris left Infinite Monastery and headed off on a boat.


    ……


    ckpool.


    “Sprout, there is a great fate in Sky Falling Mountain this time. I will reserve a spot for you; make good use of it.


    “If you gain from this, it will be very easy for you to touch the Celestial Threshold and you might even step into it.”


    ……


    Cloud Sweeping Peak.


    A rich-looking young man wearing a long dark green robe walked out.


    He turned and nced at the mountain peak. Kneeling down onto the ground, he bowed respectfully and then stepped out and flew through the sky.


    Under the ck schrtree, Heavenlifting Master’s eyes shed and he wore a straight face.


    In the cycle of reincarnation, the sun and moon had been stolen by someone else; it had cut off a very important path for his future Great Dao.


    To make up for it, he had to obtain another Great Dao vein and refine it for himself.


    This was his best chance!


    He could perfect his dao!


    If it weren’t for them being forced into a corner, that n could not bear to pay such a price. This was also the greatest fate that had appeared in the Central Deste Divine Area in ten thousand years.


    He must get it!


    …….


    Half a monthter.


    The new Main Sword Masters meeting ended in a not so grand manner. Qin Yu, the newest member of the Main Sword Masters, appeared at the meeting for the first time as a Sect Master. He sat in the previous position of the Frost Cold Sword Sect.


    Opposite him was the Spring Wind Sword Sect. Xie Chungang’s smile had not disappeared.


    Thankfully for the rest of the Sect Masters, the Opening Heavens Sword Sect did not use this chance to raise another request.


    After the first cut, they felt pained, but they also felt fortunate because this was not the worst oue.


    They could have a mild celebration.


    The old swordsman, Iron Forest, brought along thirty young swordsmen from his hometown. ording to him, Sect Master and Grand Elder would make the necessary arrangements. Even being a cleaner for the sword sect – the lowest-ranked position one could have – was already a great transformation for them.


    Rourou could not be bothered with this and Qin Yu did not have time. They left this to Hu Zhiming, who was beaming from the recent wins that he had.


    After a few more days, Qin Yu announced that he would be closing himself in cultivation again.


    The Opening Heavens Sword Sect was already used to their Sect Master working hard and closing himself in seclusion to cultivate frequently.


    This actually allowed the rest of the sword sects to heave a sigh of relief. They started making guesses that made them ridiculously jealous.


    They guessed that Qin Yu had closed himself in cultivation to refine and gain control of that sealed item that from the core level of the Sword Prison. When he was out again, his power would definitely have surged once more. By then, the power bnce in Swallow Mountain might shift again.


    The only one who was disappointed was Forging Sword Sect Master. He came to the Opening Heavens Sword Sect a few times but he did not meet Qin Yu at all.


    Sect Master Gu, who wanted to be good friends with Qin Yu, was not happy.


    ……


    The nine suns in the sky set in the west. The golden hue from the suns fell on the hull, giving off a brilliant golden color.


    Bull Bean’s eyes widened and she looked at the person in front of her, “Young lord, have we met somewhere before?”


    The ordinary-looking young man wearing a long ck robe frowned slightly and shook his head, “Miss, you probably recognized the wrong person.”


    He turned around to walk away and there was sweat on his forehead.


    What happened to the transformation that even a King realm cultivator couldn’t detect? Rourou was truly exaggerating!
