Refining the Mountains and Rivers

weak and feeble.
They might not be able to last much longer before they collapsed.
Once the rules collapsed, this spatial fragment would also fall into ruin.
At that time, all the natives and monster beasts would perish with it.

Qin Yu shook his head.
These weren’t things he could interfere with.
His feet moved and he rapidly flew away.

Soon, another month had passed.
Although the Infinite Realm’s longest opening period was a year, it often closed ahead of time.
Conservatively speaking, he had around four months until it closed.

Qin Yu didn’t encounter any more Immortal Sect cultivators.
He began to feel helpless and didn’t have much hope of finding Ning Ling.
However, as he thought about how the two of them were likely in the same spatial fragment yet there was no way for them to find each other, he couldn’t help but feel worried and a little bothered.

But during this last month, he had made some considerable harvests.
For instance, there was a seriously corroded and somewhat broken small bell in his storage ring.

Qin Yu had found this on the bones of a cultivator.
From how complete the skeleton was, it shouldn’t have been torn apart by monster beasts after the cultivator had died.
And, he had discovered this skeleton in a place where there were many monster beasts.
These two facts together made it extremely strange.

It had to be known that cultivators’ bodies were washed by the spiritual strength of the heavens and earth, so a massive amount of spiritual strength was contained in their flesh and blood.
To a monster beast, this was the best tonic.
And those that came to the Infinite Realm were all at least at the Divine Soul realm.
To a monster beast, the corpse of a Divine Soul cultivator was an irresistible temptation.

There might have been many reasons why monster beasts didn’t touch this corpse, but Qin Yu felt that the most likely one was this ruined small bell.

He bent down and sword light thrust out from his fingertips, instantly submerging into the ground.
A black wild ginseng was dug out with all its roots and he immediately placed it in his storage ring.

This sort of black wild ginseng contained a boundless amount of heaven and earth spiritual energy.
It could be directly refined and absorbed to rapidly increase one’s magic power.
It was a wonderful cultivation resource.

At this moment, Qin Yu’s complexion changed.
His palm suddenly flashed, and although there didn’t seem to be anything there, his slightly indented skin proved that he was holding onto something.
This was the half disc-shaped object that couldn’t be seen with his eyes or divine sense, yet actually existed.

Now, this half disc seemed to be emitting faint traces of heat, as if it was pointing towards something.

Qin Yu revealed a look of hesitation.
But as he thought about how mysterious this disc was, he finally came to a decision.
Since he couldn’t find Ning Ling, he wanted to focus a bit more on the lucky chances of the Infinite Realm.

Shua –

Qin Yu’s figure rapidly moved.
Sometimes he moved left, sometimes he moved right, sometimes he moved straight, sometimes he moved back; he was so fast that he left behind afterimages.
But soon the afterimages vanished and he came to a stop, his eyes lighting up.

This way!

Whoosh –

Qin Yu rushed forwards.
The heat emanating from the disc became increasingly strong as he raced ahead.

He passed over a tall mountain and crossed a long river.
The distance was further than he expected.
He didn’t know whether or not it was a coincidence, but as he travelled forwards he didn’t encounter any dangers.

Yes, not a single monster beast appeared to block his way.
This was simply unbelievable.
The Infinite Realm was known for being a land where if a small meteor crashed down from space, it would strike dead at least three monster beasts.

Qin Yu revealed a strange complexion.
He looked at the half disc in his hands; was this its function? If it could even accomplish something so bizarre and unthinkable, its origins were likely far greater than he had imagined! A sense of curiosity grew in Qin Yu’s mind.
Just what had this half disc object sensed?

His figure flickered and he landed on a towering ancient tree.
His gaze pierced through the layers of branches towards the distant earth.
At the end of his line of sight, he could see a canyon appear.
The two sides twisted together in a crisscross formation, as if it had been torn open.
It extended for hundreds of miles around, seeming as if stretched on without end.
The surface of the canyon was bleak and desolate, with no plant life growing anywhere.
The bare stones had lain exposed for countless years and giant cracks had appeared in them.

Whatever the half disc had sensed, it was in this canyon.

Qin Yu carefully swept his eyes around.
There was nothing in the middle of the canyon and strong winds howled out from the opening, causing his line of sight to become dim and blurry.
There was nothing out of the ordinary on the surface; it was just an astonishingly large canyon with nothing there.
However, after the experience of obtaining this half disc, Qin Yu no longer believed his eyes or senses.

Stepping forward, he rose up in the air and then fell down a thousand feet from the canyon entrance.
He flicked his sleeve and sent a half-human sized boulder flying out.
He watched carefully as the boulder crashed into the canyon and half-buried itself into the ground.

There were no problems.

Qin Yu’s complexion didn’t relax.
He lifted a hand and flung a second boulder even further.
He watched the boulder closely.
Then, once it flew into the valley, a ripple in space appeared and it was directly swallowed up, vanishing from sight.

There really was a problem!

Qin Yu’s pupils shrank and he rapidly retreated.
Even if he knew the half disc was not ordinary and it had sensed some enormous good fortune, he still didn’t hesitate at all.
He had relied on pure luck to obtain this half disc and if that scenario were to be replayed, there was absolutely no chance he would have survived.

Lucky chances and good fortune were nice, but he needed to be alive to enjoy them!

Qin Yu’s reactions were extremely quick.
The instant the stone vanished he was already rushing backwards.
There was a shadow not too far away.
Once he entered it he could Shadow Step away.
But at this time, Qin Yu’s complexion changed and he came to a sudden stop.
To his amazement he discovered that even though he was retreating he was constantly closing in on the valley in front of him!

Hum –

An air bubble appeared and wrapped around Qin Yu.
Without giving him even a chance to react, it howled towards the canyon valley.
Qin Yu wasn’t able to struggle.
All he could do was put away the half disc just before he was swallowed up like that giant boulder.
