Chapter 1361 – Space Target

Although he did not know these sacrificed beings, Qin Yu felt a strong sense of killing intent rush into his chest. From a broad view, like Qin Yu, they belonged to the Vast Brightness World and they had the same status as him.

Qin Yu had never been easy on the World of Darkness cultivators. But right now, he wanted to kill them.

A strong sense of hatred filled his chest but his expression was calm and his breathing did not change. Qin Yu slowly nodded, “It is a great achievement to reduce the cost for the sacrificial skill. Have you been rewarded?”

The man coughed softly. “Oh all-knowing Saint, I only did a little research on the sacrificial skill and it is a small thing. Once the Blood Sacrifice was done, the Desolate King rewarded me and then he sent me here.”

“Oh? To be rewarded personally by the Desolate King is a big achievement. You have to work hard and continue this in the future.” Qin Yu patted the man’s shoulder. He made sure he would remember this man.

The ignorant cultivator looked excited and he exclaimed, “My name is Zhao Tuo. I will definitely work hard to live up to the expectations.”

A reward from the Desolate King himself was an admirable feat. However, he was a lowly man and the Desolate King definitely would not remember him. If a True Saint supported him, he would be insured for life.

Border Cliff Saint seemed to have a good impression of him. Sure enough, taking the initiative was the right call.

He suppressed his feelings and remained calm. Yet, he was unaware that Qin Yu was already determined to kill him. Qin Yu locked down an image of his appearance in his heart.

“Let’s go in.”

Zhao Tuo gestured forward and said, “Please follow me.”

He entered the ship and saw the sacrificial skill Zhao Tuo mentioned. Although he had already prepared himself, his eye twitched when he saw that the inner part of the ship had been dyed a dark red by blood.

He stood silently and carefully observed. There were countless tiny scratches on the hull.

It was really very tiny and it looked like branches that had scratched the surface of rocks. If there were just ten or a hundred of them, they would go unnoticed. However, with a few thousand, up to ten thousand, they amassed to form the scene in front of him.

During the Blood Sacrifice, the beings were still alive. This process was very painful and these low-level cultivators who may even be regular citizens would not have been able to leave these scratches on the hull. After all, there were the turbulent space waves in the hull. This realization felt suffocating.

He did not need to shut his eyes but he could hear the desperate cries from here.

Qin Yu asked, “Does the Mysterious Clan also use a Blood Sacrifice?”

Zhao Tuo answered, “Yes. The seals need to be engraved inside the hull to successfully run.”

His tone had a slight displeasure.

Qin Yu nodded in understanding.

He carefully looked at the small scratches in the hull and said, “Let me take a look.”

Qin Yu acted normally with a nonchalant attitude as he looked through the ship.

During which, he asked Zhao Tuo many questions. Zhao Tuo wanted to suck up to Border Cliff Saint and he replied with all the information he needed.

This ship was constructed by the World of Darkness and Mysterious Clan to enter the Mountain of Flames through the turbulent space waves. Also, because this ship was made by the two clans, there were two keys that needed to be used together in order to move the ship. Thirdly, the ship required a large amount of energy in order to move.

Zhao Tuo, as a lowly cultivator, did not know what was hidden in the Mountain of Flames covered in the Inextinguishable Flame. However, from how the World of Darkness and Mysterious Clan reacted, there was obviously something very important there.

The Inextinguishable Flame was Qin Yu’s goal but he did not restrict himself to focus on that only. Since he saw the two camps as his enemies, he would make sure to spoil their plans and obtain what they wanted.

Perhaps the thing in the Mountain of Flames could help the Spring Master. This was something he promised Peachy too. As such, Qin Yu had plenty of reason to be here. He wanted both the World of Darkness and the Mysterious Clan to pay a price. Obviously, this was because of beings that were sacrificed.

Words were easy and action was hard. After he saw Li Zhouyi call upon the Eye of Darkness, Qin Yu had no intention of conducting a massacre.

While the people in front of him were not significant, if he was locked onto, who knew what they could muster up. What would he do if they called on something sinister? If he could not take it on directly, he would take the alternative route and go one round.

What should he do? There was no rush and he could take it step by step. No matter how long it would take, he would eventually reach his goal.

His priority was to obtain the Inextinguishable Flame.

To get that, he needed to break through the turbulent space waves. This meant that he needed to gain control of the ship. There were two keys, one of which was with Li Zhouyi. Qin Yu could not take it from him forcefully. Otherwise, he would alert the Mysterious Clan and would lose his opportunity.

He had no idea how he would proceed, but he knew he needed the keys.

As for the large amount of energy required to move the ship, Qin Yu was not worried because he had the innate spirit energy in him.

What would happen next, such as taking the treasure in the Mountain of Flames and confronting the two camps, would wait. No, perhaps he could take action against the two camps first.

He flew out of the ship and returned to the small world fragment. Zhao Tuo left with a gleeful smile on his face. Border Cliff Saint had patted him on the back as he left.

This meant that Border Cliff Saint looked highly upon him. Zhao Tuo thought he was spectacular to have gotten the recognition of the Saint.

Qin Yu ignored Zhao Tuo. He was an insignificant person and he would kill him later on. There was no need to bother about Zhao Tuo.

He returned to his living quarters and checked his surroundings to ensure nothing was amiss. Then, he sat down and pondered. His fingers drummed against the handrail.

The current situation was that both camps were outside the Mountain of Flames waiting for him to arrive. Although Qin Yu had managed to sneak in, nothing would come out of this.

It was too quiet!

Both parties were waiting for him. In such a situation, he could not do anything excessive or he would be exposed.

Perhaps he could break this stalemate and cause havoc again. This was his only way to hide in the darkness once more.

But how was he going to create chaos?

This was very hard. All forces from both camps were gathered here. If he was careless, he would lose his life.

Logically, there was an easy way. There was an option right in front of him but it was morally wrong. From the perspective of the two camps, he would be backstabbing his own people.

Qin Yu quickly removed himself from such thoughts. His hands were already covered in blood because of his cultivation path. He had killed cultivators from the Vast Brightness World before. Hmm, people were hypocritical.

Righteousness and morality were high standing virtues. He would rather take care of himself first. Standing too high and mighty could isolate himself.

He felt much more at ease now. However, what would he do to lure Vast Brightness World cultivators here?

That’s right. This was his best option now. It was too tranquil with the two camps here. With a third party, he would break through to their grounds. Let’s see how the two camps would react then.

As long as there was a battle, Qin Yu would have a chance.

Every time he encountered a problem, he would seek Stone Pagoda’s help. This was now a habit. Stone Pagoda rarely disappointed him.

This was no exception again.

After Qin Yu told him of his proposal, there was a moment of silence. Then, Stone Pagoda said, “Space Target…I researched this before.”

Although the outcome was good, Stone Pagoda was always ready to answer his questions. Qin Yu could not help frowning, “How do you know so much?”

Stone Pagoda paused and laughed lightly, “You are praising me right?” He continued, “Actually, Master, it isn’t too good to be all-knowing. At least, if I had a choice, I would rather be a regular Stone Pagoda than an all-knowing one.”

These words felt like a cover up for something very powerful…there was also a hint of sadness in it. There may be a story behind this, but Qin Yu did not probe. It was obvious that Stone Pagoda did not want to talk about it.

Pretending to be ignorant was a skill capable people mastered. However, they would not go to the extent of being foolish. Stone Pagoda quickly finished the ‘Space Target’ he talked about. A crystal appeared in his hand and he delivered it to Qin Yu.

Stone Pagoda said, “It is very easy to use this. If you channel energy into it, the crystal will be activated and a target position will be locked onto in the outside world. You can’t determine the exact coverage but it can probably cover at least half of Bounded Zero Place. Those who receive the Space Target would be able to break through the turbulent space waves and arrive at your desired destination.

“Of course, this requires a certain level of strength. If you are too weak, you will not have enough energy to open a path.”

Qin Yu’s eyes flashed. With this, the pressure was lifted off his chest. It was a target and it was their choice whether or not to come. No matter what happened next, they only had themselves to blame.

Yes, this was how it would be.

It was time to activate the target. This was very easy for Qin Yu. It was a chance for him but he did not know its effects. Nonetheless, he would test this out.

He put away the crystal and walked to a corner of the room. His body entered a dark shadow, then waves of darkness covered him and he disappeared.

A few moments later in another room, a World of Darkness cultivator’s eyes flung open and he yelled, “Who is it?” It was a low voice and he did not shout because the person did not conceal his aura. Furthermore, this was outside the Mountain of Flames. Aside from the World of Darkness, only people from the Mysterious Clan were here.

It was obvious that the person was from the World of Darkness.

Qin Yu stepped out of the darkness and said, “It is me.”

The cultivator immediately relaxed and he bowed, “Greetings Saint, what orders do you have?” He was very respectful, but he was extremely nervous. After all, Border Cliff Saint arrived with the sixth prince.

It had not been difficult to find someone who appeared respectful to Li Zhouyi but was not close to him among the group of cultivators.

Furthermore, as someone who prepared, analyzed matters, and planned beforehand, observing the people here was an essential task that he had to do anyway.
