Chapter 1825 – Using the Ninerealms as Bait

Though it was difficult to do this, it was simple to explain it. Taking the Seventh Dao Master as an example, he invited Qin Yu to enter the world where the Sky Spirit Clan was. Initially, it was because he wished that Qin Yu could help him get more World Origin. Because their method of cultivation was not the same, and human cultivators took a path where they used Heaven and Earth Rules to cultivate and strengthen their own bodies.

World Origin was the best training material for them. For cultivators of the Dao Master level, it could help them achieve the final transformation and their bodies would become the ultimate weapons! Amongst the human cultivators, this was called reaching enlightenment. It was the final and highest realm! But it was not easy for Dao Masters to cross this step and transform. The amount of World Origin they needed was astounding.

Even if they collected most of the remaining World Origin from a dying world, it may not be enough. And…this was Qin Yu’s opportunity. According to the little blue lamp, he was going to turn these nine worlds into bait and make all the Dao Masters from the nine White Jade Capitals bite down on it at the same time.

In the world of lava, Qin Yu was silent for a while before he slowly spoke, “So you are saying that I should make the nine Dao Masters believe that I can help them resurrect the nine worlds and give the complete World Origin to them…but this will not come true. It involves their own cultivation and implicates the nine White Jade Capitals. The nine Dao Masters will be extra cautious.”

“You are right. But what if you can make them believe that you have resurrecting the World Origin in the bag?” The little blue lamp sounded calm and sent a message in Qin Yu’s mind.

Condense a World Heart!

World Heart referred to a core item created from World Origin. It was the same as heaven and earth. If one held a World Heart, it was equivalent to holding the fate of an entire world and one could easily destroy it. If he handed this World Heart to the nine Dao Masters, it would be easy to gain their trust. But to do this, it would really mean handing the nine worlds to them. There was nothing for Qin Yu to gain in doing this.

Frowning slightly, Qin Yu looked confused.

The little blue lamp said, “Don’t worry.” He did not explain further. Qin Yu nodded and did not ask anything else. Their relationship was so close that they won and lost together. It was impossible to split them.

“In that case, let’s take a risk!” Qin Yu snorted as he looked around at the world of lava, “But now, let’s confirm this first to prevent any accidents.”

The little blue lamp replied, “Yes.”

Buzz –

The Great Sun Illusion collapsed and disappeared.

Qin Yu lifted his hand to retrieve the Ninerealm token. From using it to find two of the Sky Spirit Clan tribes, he understood some rules.

Though both the tribes were located in places where they could hide from the cold and wind, what was crucial was also the World Origin that was buried underneath!

The World Origin left behind by a dying world was the last of its energy. It could sustain life in a small area. Without it, all creatures would die together with the world. This meant that finding World Origin would enable him to find the native living creatures in this world.

Woosh –

Qin Yu stepped out and disappeared in this red world.

With the Ninerealm token’s help, Qin Yu finally found native life after half a day in this lava world.

It was different from the Sky Spirit Clan fighting against the cold. The native life here had to survive in the extremely high temperatures and was struggling to live deep in a mountain cave where it was slightly cooler.

After thinking about it, Qin Yu did not directly contact them in order to prevent any other circumstance from developing, given his limited time. He silently captured a native and after separating him from the rest, the little blue lamp helped to dig out the native’s memory. To be careful, after Qin Yu released him, he confirmed a few more times that this was one of the nine worlds.

The little blue lamp said, “Qin Yu, you are really very careful.”

Qin Yu said, “If this goes well, I might be able to cultivate the Incense Great Dao and fight Emperor Qin!” He paused before continuing, “I have to be extra careful and avoid making any mistakes.”

“Mmhm, it is good if you think this way. But time is of the essence; we have to go elsewhere.”

“Let’s go.”

Qin Yu turned and disappeared. Very soon, he appeared deep underground. A path! Earlier on, when Qin Yu was looking for natives of the lava world, he had found this place.

Using the same method, Qin Yu opened the path before stepping in.

……

Luo Guan had disappeared!

After collecting all the floating World Origin here, when he turned back, he was not able to find any traces of Luo Guan.

But before this, he had not felt any movements of energy. This meant that Luo Guan did not fight with anyone. Did he leave on his own accord? But why did he not tell him! After looking around once more, Cheng Haoran had no choice but to leave feeling confused.

Days flew by and soon, the month was nearing its end. But in this entire period, Cheng Haoran was not able to find any traces of Qin Yu.

It was as if he had completely disappeared from this world.

As the time was up, Cheng Haoran could only leave first after failing to contact Qin Yu. He met up with the other cultivators from White Jade Capital and left this freezing world.

“Cheng Haoran, where is Luo Guan?” A disciple under the First Dao Master asked and everyone looked over.

Cheng Haoran shook his head, “I don’t know.”

“Hmph! This world involves the cultivations of all the Dao Masters. There cannot be any incidents!” This person looked solemn, “Luo Guan has disappeared. There must be an explanation. You and Seventh Dao Master must be responsible!”

As soon as he spoke, the air shifted and Qin Yu stepped out. He spoke slowly, “I don’t need anyone to take responsibility for me. Do you have a problem?” He looked over coldly and there was a chill in his calm eyes.

“Luo Guan!” The two disciples from First Dao Master had a change of expression.

On the other side, the two cultivators from the fourth White Jade Capital instantly paled and looked fearful and hateful. They had suffered because of Qin Yu and he caused them to not be able to get any World Origin. When they got back, they would be punished by Fourth Dao Master!

Cheng Haoran looked happy as he came over quickly, “Where were you…forget it. Let’s get back first.”

Qin Yu nodded, “Okay.”

Cheng Haoran glanced at Qin Yu and subconsciously frowned a little…at this moment, he sensed a heated aura from Qin Yu. Or…it was not from him, but it was more like he had been stained by something.

This world had been in a freezing state for a long time and had extremely low temperatures. How could there be a heated aura? He thought quickly and recalled when Qin Yu disappeared for a long time. Cheng Haoran sucked in a deep breath and kept it to himself. Once they left, his master would deal with it.

Buzz –

Buzz –

The air shook and like a huge mouth, it swallowed everyone and they disappeared.

Deep in the Bounded Void Space, the illusion of the Sea of Confusion appeared once more. ‘Rumble rumble’. The nine Dao Masters were now gathered and they looked at the altar.

All of a sudden, there was a vibration from the altar and the figures appeared.

Ninth Dao Master suddenly frowned and had a solemn expression as he looked at Qin Yu. But for some reason, he did not immediately make things difficult for him and his frown eased as if nothing happened.

“Where is Prison?” First Dao Master asked in a deep voice.

“Dao Master, we waited at the designated place but Prison did not arrive even at the end. We had no choice but to return first.” The disciple of the First Dao Master spoke respectfully.

Woosh –

Everyone looked at Nine Dao Master.

He said slowly, “Prison is dead.” He then looked at Qin Yu.

Qin Yu stepped forwards and put his hands together, “In that world, Prison attempted to kill Cheng Haoran and I. I killed him.”

This was not a secret and everyone had seen when Prison first attacked. Previously, when Prison failed to appear, there were some who thought he might have died, but they simply found it hard to believe. After all, everyone knew how powerful and difficult Prison was. It was not easy to kill him. All the White Jade Capital cultivators appeared even more apprehensive as they looked at Qin Yu.

Cheng Haoran spoke, “Master and fellow Dao Masters, I do not dare to lie. Prison truly attempted to kill us first. Luo Guan had no choice but to defend himself and ended up killing him. Please make a wise decision, Dao Masters.”

First Dao Master frowned and he glanced at Seventh Dao Master, who looked calm. He eventually looked at Ninth Dao Master.

“I already know about this. Since Prison was the one who made a move first, his death can only be blamed on his lack of skills. Let’s…let this go.”

Ninth Dao Master then turned and left. He disappeared. Since Prison was dead, then Ninth White Jade Capital had failed in this attempt to get World Origin. There was no further loss if he left now.

This result was unexpected for everyone. After all, they could all imagine how Ninth Dao Master must feel after grooming a disciple like Prison.

Prison had been killed. No matter how they thought about it, this should not have ended so easily. Could there be something else going on?

There was surprise in Seventh Dao Master’s eyes and he looked at Qin Yu. Thoughts flew through his mind. Just now, he had been prepared to fight with Ninth Dao Master. He never thought…he really could not understand this.

But a cultivator of a Dao Master level was extremely profound. Very soon, the flicker of emotion disappeared. Ninth Dao Master said slowly, “In that case, I will leave with my people first. Goodbye.”

Waving his sleeve, an invisible energy swept over Qin Yu and Cheng Haoran as they disappeared. In the next moment, the three of them appeared in Seventh White Jade Capital.

Seventh Dao Master turned and looked at Qin Yu, “Luo Guan, is there anything you left out regarding Prison’s death?”

Qin Yu looked calm, “Back then, Cheng Haoran and I entered the freezing world and Prison immediately attacked. We had never had any clashes before so I think the reason would be Ninth Dao Master. I am also very interested to know.”

Cheng Haoran put his hands together, “Master, it is true.”

“Mmhm.” Seventh Dao Master nodded non-commitally, “Okay, we will talk about this later. What have you both gotten from the world?”

Cheng Haoran retrieved the jade bottle and presented it respectfully, “Master, this is the World Origin that I collected. The amount is more than expected.”

Seventh Dao Master took the jade bottle and smiled after feeling how much was inside. He nodded, “Haoran, you have done well.” He turned to look at Qin Yu.

Qin Yu thought about it before looking apologetic, “Fellow Daoist Cheng, my apologies. This was a huge deal and I have to be cautious.” He put his hands togther and said, “Dao Master, I have something very important to tell you. Please seal the area.”

Seventh Dao Master frowned as he looked at Qin Yu. He waved his hands and said, “Haoran, wait outside.”

“Yes Master.” Cheng Haoran looked at Qin Yu and felt dispirited. But more than that, he had a pressing thought – this must be related to the heated aura that he sensed from Luo Guan earlier! Alas, something must have happened when Luo Guan had disappeared, and it was something important.

After Cheng Haoran left, Seventh Dao Master waved his sleeve and the doors to the hall closed, sealing the space. He looked calm as he said slowly, “Luo Guan, please tell me what you have to say.”

Qin Yu spoke in a low voice, “Dao Master, do you know that there is more than one world connected to the altar!”

Swish –

Seventh Dao Master’s head shot up as his eyes glimmered. He stared at Qin Yu and said slowly, “Luo Guan, how do you know about this?” At this moment, the air froze and invisible energy piled up as if a mountain was about to press down on Qin Yu, suffocating him.

This was the biggest secret in White Jade Capital. Only the nine Dao Masters knew about it! It was completely natural for Seventh Dao Master to react this way.

Qin Yu’s expression did not change as he said slowly, “Dao Master, don’t worry. Since I am saying this, I am showing that I am open and do not have other intentions.” He looked up into Seventh Dao Master’s eyes, “However, I would like to make a deal with you.”

Seventh Dao Master said, “Speak.”

Qin Yu replied, “Dao Master, do you want to gain a complete World Origin? Or rather, if you receive a whole World Origin, will you be able to detach yourself from this and achieve enlightenment, reaching the Heavenly realm?”

Seventh Dao Master was shocked but maintained a neutral expression. He stared at Qin Yu and said slowly, “Luo Guan, do you know what you are saying?”

Why does this phrase sound so familiar!

Qin Yu shook his head internally as he suppressed his thought. He said, “I am very clear on it…the clearest I have been. This is my deal with you.” He lifted his hand and tapped a finger, “A complete World Origin. I will exchange it with you for a complete Divine Nation. I need more incense power to help me light up my Incense Great Dao!

“Dao Master, don’t use the remaining natives in the freezing world. There are too few of them. We need to re-discuss the conditions of our cooperation!”

He was not very polite when he said this. But it was because he was not polite that Seventh Dao Master was moved. The reason was simple. Qin Yu must be confident if he dared to speak in this manner.

A complete World Origin…even with his composure, Seventh Dao Master could not help but feel an intense heat within him, “Luo Guan, don’t keep me in suspense. Get to the main point.”
