Refining the Mountains and Rivers

hat the Mysterious Clan and the World of Darkness would spend so much energy and time.

“A long, long time ago, the leader of White Pagoda holy land was widely known as a Saint who was high above all others.
None of his enemies could match up to him.
He was the most likely to break through the barrier and become a Ruler.
At that time, there were even rumors that he would transcend to the next realm and become a Ruler within a thousand years…perhaps it was because he was too powerful and hence disaster befell him.”

Qin Yu’s eyes lit up, “So you are saying that the Mysterious Clan was aiming for the Ruler’s position and the reason why they annihilated White Pagoda holy land was to get rid of anyone who posed a threat to their goal?”

Stone Pagoda replied, “Without sufficient evidence, I am not sure.
But that is a possibility.” He paused before continuing, “If it really were like this, Master, since you are also aiming for the position of Ruler, sooner or later you will clash.”

This explanation was reasonable.
The reason why White Pagoda holy land was destroyed could be like what Stone Pagoda said.

Mysterious Clan…World of Darkness…they were both secretive.
Where did they come from and how did they get such strong powers?

According to Stone Pagoda, the leader of White Pagoda holy land possessed powers close to a Ruler.
Even such a powerful person could be killed.
He could imagine the Mysterious Clan’s true abilities.

Moreover, considering that the Mysterious Clan acknowledged the World of Darkness and they were fighting in Bounded Zero Place, the World of Darkness obviously wasn’t any weaker.

And these two powers existed almost invisibly in the Vast Brightness World.
Something was not right.

Qin Yu had a feeling that maybe they did not come from the Vast Brightness World…since the Abyss existed, could there be another world outside of it?

If he thought from this position, everything could be explained.
With the World of Darkness as an example, why did the number of True Saints keep changing and why was having a permanent True Saint so significant? It was obvious: there must be a huge restriction on True Saints from the outside world entering the Vast Brightness World.
Or maybe, they could only stay for a short period before they were forced to leave.
Maybe it was because of this that the World of Darkness was so fervent and not caring about rewards.
If they helped cultivators from the Vast Brightness World complete their darkness transformation, they would become permanent Darkness True Saints and secure their position in the World of Darkness.

Additionally, both cultivators from the World of Darkness and the Mysterious Clan possess the ‘immortal’ ability when they were in Bounded Zero Place.
It was most likely because of some special ability they had from their world.

If it were really as Qin Yu was thinking, a group of cultivators not belonging to the Vast Brightness World were trying to get the Ruler position? There must be a reason.

Qin Yu suddenly realized that he may have unintentionally come across a huge secret.
The Rulers must know about this but chose to remain silent about the existence of cultivators from the World of Darkness and Mysterious Clan.
It was definitely not because they enjoyed entertaining guests.

Taking a deep breath, he suppressed the intense thoughts in his mind.
Qin Yu forced himself to stop guessing.
These were all guesses and even if they were the truth, it did not help his situation now.

Now, the most important thing was to find a way to get the Inextinguishable Flame.
Until that happened, he needed to avoid trouble.

Since the Mysterious Clan had already interfered, the World of Darkness would definitely follow suit.
This meant that if nothing out of the ordinary happened, he would soon be hunted by both factions.

Just thinking about it made him feel sour yet invigorated!
