Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 1838 – A – Battle of Dharma Images

“Ninth Dao!” First Dao Master cried out loud.

It was evident that Ninth Dao Master was using the contract he signed with Luo Guan to destroy Seventh Dao Master’s World Origin. Within such a short distance, if the fully-condensed World Origin exploded, the power it released was definitely going to be terrifying.

The other Dao Masters also looked shocked and angry. Before, if Ninth Dao Master was only trying to kill Seventh Dao Master, they would not have objected to it. But now, Seventh Dao Master had already pretty much fallen out with them and shown them what he was capable of. If they tried to kill him now…if they were not careful, chaos would ensue. No one knew how extensive Seventh Dao Master’s plots were. Perhaps he might even ruin his own White Jade Capital.

However, in actual fact, the one who was the most taken aback this time was Ninth Dao Master. This was because whatever that was happening now had nothing to do with him. Yes, he did sign a contract with Luo Guan, but he did not touch it at all just now. Seventh Dao Master was already on the verge of going all out against them; how stupid would he have to be to jump out and provoke Seventh Dao Master at this time?

“It’s not me!” Ninth Dao Master roared angrily. He stared at Qin Yu, gritted his teeth, and asked, “Luo Guan, what are you trying to do? Let me warn you, you’d better not act rashly, otherwise, I will kill you right now!”

The first person Ninth Dao Master suspected was Luo Guan.

Qin Yu frowned, and at this moment, his face changed slightly and he looked pained. Fluctuations occurred in the contractual aura, and even though everyone else could not detect anything, they knew that Ninth Dao Master was the person who was most specialized in contracts. At this moment, a brilliance shone through Ninth Dao Master’s eyes.

Just now, he sensed something else in the contractual aura in Qin Yu’s body. It was the fluctuation of another contractual aura. Vaguely, he could tell that whatever was happening right now was because of this other contractual aura. This meant that someone else was deliberately trying to set him up!

From what he could tell, though the other contractual aura was hidden very well and was quite obscure, he could still recognize traces of Seventh Dao Master in it.

Was this just a self-produced and self-written play by Seventh Dao Master, to set Ninth Dao Master up by injuring himself? Ninth Dao Master was shocked and furious as he glared at Seventh Dao Master. “Seventh Dao, you’re despicable. This is a trap; you’re trying to set me up!”

Seventh Dao Master, who was suppressing the fluctuations coming from the World Origins, was enraged. You bastard, you tried to harm me first, and now you’re pushing the blame on me; this is too much! With a cold gaze, his eyes were filled with hostility as he glared back at Ninth Dao Master, “If you’re trying to harm me, it’s not going to be easy! Everyone, you’ve seen for yourself how things are, so don’t blame me.”

“Awaken!” Seventh Dao Master roared.

All of the Dao Masters felt slightly surprised.

Ninth Dao Master looked furious and taken aback, then, in the next moment, his body froze and his face turned pale.

The auras of the nine White Jade Capitals were connected. At this moment, the other Dao Masters could clearly feel the tremors coming from the ninth White Jade Capital. It was as if a volcano that had been dormant for years had suddenly erupted, releasing terrifying power that swept across the whole place.

Even if they did not witness what was happening personally, images of the ninth White Jade Capital being blown up into a mess appeared in their heads. Evidently, Seventh Dao Master was capable of doing what he said he would. He was not just trying to scare them, he was truly hiding a great deal of power.

“Tu Shan!” Ninth Dao Master howled angrily, yelling Seventh Dao Master’s real name for the first time. It also meant that they had thoroughly fallen out with each other. Right now, the World Origin in front of him was shaking violently. Because his White Jade Capital had been damaged, he too was impacted.

Suddenly, he was full of murderous intent!

Under normal circumstances, even if Seventh Dao Master awoke those sleeping illusions, he would still be unable to cause such heavy damage. However, since the ‘descent of the nine suns’ that caused the White Jade Capitals to be besieged, the powerful cultivators from each White Jade Capital had come here on the orders of their Dao Masters to garrison this place. Therefore, the internal defense of the ninth White Jade Capital was left empty. So now that Seventh Dao Master Tu Shan unleashed his power, it could heavily injure Ninth Dao Master.

“Stop this!” First Dao Master shouted. He took one step forward, putting himself in between Seventh and Ninth Dao Masters. “Both of you have gone crazy! Today is the day that our World Origins are being condensed; this has already created a huge commotion and countless eyes are on us. If we have an internal conflict now and one of us shows signs of being injured, it will definitely attract our enemies to attack us together. If that happens, White Jade Capital’s rule over the world will shatter!”

He looked at the other Dao Masters and continued, “No matter what all of you are thinking, retract your thoughts right now. Let’s get this over and done with before we deal with anything else.”

All of the Dao Masters fell silent. Firstly, they agreed with what First Dao Master said. Secondly, they were feeling some disdain towards him…to think that he would speak as if he did not think of harming the others; what a joke.

However, there was something that First Dao Master was right about. It was truly unwise to get into an internal conflict now. If they were under another circumstance, if Seventh and Ninth Dao Masters wanted to fight with each other, they could fight it out to their hearts’ content. The other Dao Masters would be happy to watch such a battle unfold.

Ninth Dao Master took a deep breath and suppressed the raging anger in his chest!

Tu Shan!

I will remember this. Just you wait – once the World Origin condenses completely, we will settle the score.

Seventh Dao Master’s gaze was even colder as his eyes met Ninth Dao Master’s. If looks could kill, Ninth Dao Master would be dead already.

Bastard!

Just you wait. Sooner or later, I will kill you.

The tension between these two Dao Masters was extremely high.

“Luo Guan!” First Dao Master called out, “Stabilize the World Origins. Otherwise, if any mistakes occur, I will not let it slide!”

Qin Yu sucked in a deep breath and replied, “Yes, Your Honor!”

Truly, all those who could become Dao Masters possessed a great amount of intelligence. For example, under such circumstances, Seventh and Ninth Dao Master decided to put up with each other instead of breaking out in a huge fight.

Of course, Qin Yu was disappointed, but thankfully he was already mentally prepared for this outcome. Hoping to easily topple the nine Dao Masters…it was not realistic to think that such a wish would come true.

However, he did gain something from this.

Seventh and Ninth Dao Master decided to put up with each other for now, but the conflict was separated only by a piece of paper that could be torn apart at any moment.

Qin Yu could still bide his time!

“How long until the World Origins completely condense?” Ninth Dao Master asked with malice.

Qin Yu replied, “Half an hour at most.”

“Good! I shall give you another half an hour then. If you do not finish it by then, don’t blame me for being unreasonable!”

“No problem,” Qin Yu said calmly.

Even if he tried to delay this, he could only delay it for half an hour at most. If this process lasted any longer, the shattered Ninerealms would no longer be able to recover even if the World Origin reintegrated into them. If that happened, those native beings that were temporarily safe and protected by the altars would also be put in a predicament.

It was they who helped Qin Yu successfully ignite his incense power and walk on the Incense Great Dao Path. Naturally, he would not stand by and do nothing while these native beings died.

That also meant that by half an hour later, the Dao Masters had to have completely fallen out with each other. Even though their strengths had been greatly reduced, Qin Yu still did not have absolute confidence that he would be able to beat them.

Even if he had already successfully ignited his incense power!

Rumble –

Outside the seventh White Jade Capital, the besieging continued. Those powerful cultivators that had come from the other White Jade Capitals were currently engaged in a huge battle.

Opposite the sword-wielding daoist was Emperor Wood’s dharma image. As the ruler of the greatest imperial nation in this world, Emperor Wood was extremely powerful. Every punch and kick of his dharma image possessed infinite power and the sword-wielding daoist continuously retreated.

Boom –

A deafening boom was produced as the sword-wielding daoist was blasted backwards. As he flew in mid-air, his longsword was thrown out of his hand. In the next moment, there were plopping sounds and as if he was a leather bag filled with water that was leaking continuously; fresh blood gushed out from the wounds on his body.
