The Ninerealms were recovering.
With the example of the frozen world where the Sky Spirit Clan was, the frozen ice had retreated to reveal the muddy earth. Despite the piercing cold winds in the air, it was no longer the kind of cold that was deadly. Seeds that had been in a slumber for many years were awakened again and they started to sprout, brightening up the pale and desolate-looking earth.
Under the leadership of Great Clan Elder, the Sky Spirit Clan had walked out of their end. The first thing they did was to collect a giant rock and construct a majestic altar. This altar was used to pay respects to their revered ruler. Not only did he save this world, he had pulled the Sky Spirit Clan from the depths of their destruction. Furthermore, the ruler had said that he needed the devout faith of the Sky Spirit Clan to become stronger.
The massive stone altar was almost like a mountain. Every stone was carefully picked up by the Sky Spirit Clan and carved meticulously. Great Clan Elder knelt before the altar with utmost sincerity. There were Sky Spirit Clan members all around him.
“Everyone, please give your devout faith to our dear ruler. He is the savior of our clan and the only one we worship in the Sky Spirit Clan. The holy light from our ruler will shine down on all of us and the clan will not suffer anguish from difficulties.”
Pure faith poured out and amassed together. At the same time, a similar thing was happening in the rest of the eight worlds. Clans that had been suffering through their difficulties were now recovering.
For instance, in the Magma World where the Divine Fire Clan lived, the clan leader had called upon his clan members. He announced that he had sensed the aura from the savior of the world. The ruler that the legends spoke of had descended. Because of the ruler, the terrifying high temperatures in the Magma World were gradually lowering and the world would be healed in the near future!
Such situations played out similarly in the rest of the seven worlds. As to why they could sense the aura from the savior…it was very simple, it came from Qin Yu’s will. He was currently scheming against the nine White Jade Capitals and creating the grounds for an enormous game changer. However, this did not stop him from receiving the power of faith. After all, his own strength was his foundation. The stronger he was, the higher his possibility of surviving whenever he meets an accident in the future.
There was no such thing as a perfect plan in this world and there was always a possibility for failure. Besides, in Qin Yu’s opinion, there were a number of loopholes in this plan that he had embarked on with the little blue lamp. The only reason why he had made headway so far with things seemingly proceeding peacefully…was because the nine Dao Masters were pretending to be fools to get the World Origin.
Of course, they were pretending to be fools because the nine Dao Masters were confident that they had Qin Yu in their hands. They were sure that he would not be able to create much trouble. Nonetheless, there was a ‘what if’ to everything…the nine Dao Masters were unrivaled in this world. If any of them went crazy or they detected something amiss, Qin Yu would be the first one in trouble.
The good news was that the World Heart had returned to him. Although the nine Dao Masters created a seal together, it was not too difficult for the little blue lamp to forcefully break it. If he ended up in a difficult situation, he would be able to take the little blue lamp out as a hidden card.
Simply put, Qin Yu knew that the Ninerealm Holy Land was his and he would not harm it voluntarily. However, the nine Dao Masters did not know that the World Heart would save him if he played it wisely.
Therefore Ninth Dao Master was a very good assistant. But Qin Yu did not know why he acted this way. Did he think that he could control Qin Yu just because of the agreement? And that therefore, he possessed the World Heart as long as it was in Qin Yu’s hands. If this was truly the case, Qin Yu could only laugh and give him a surprise.
Seventh White Jade Capital.
Qin Yu stayed here. Since the nine Dao Masters were here, there was no difference in where he went. The seventh White Jade Capital was not the only one linked to the World Heart as the ninth White Jade Capital had linked up to it as well. They were supplying energy to the Ninerealms. Therefore, White Jade Capital was not experiencing a shortage of energy now, but it was only a matter of time before others discovered that things were amiss – after all, the energy expended would be so great; it would be more than what was required to recover a single world.
Before long, the nine Dao Masters would start to realize and Qin Yu would become busy then. As a result, his best opportunity to cultivate was right now. As the Ninerealms recovered, a never ending stream of the power of faith was gathering.
It was extremely pure and as it entered Qin Yu’s Great Dao, he could sense his Great Dao becoming stronger and more stable. At the same time, sparkles started to appear on his Great Dao. More and more specks of light started to gather and this was the start of the ignition of his Great Dao. When the number of these sparkles crossed a certain threshold, Incense Flame would burn!
Time passed by quickly as he cultivated and one month flew by. Qin Yu closed himself in cultivation and he would only leave temporarily if the nine Dao Masters wanted a meeting. Now, the nine White Jade Capitals were helping the world recover and once World Origin was completely refined…regardless of how well the agreement had been made, there would definitely be accidents. The Dao Masters were long since prepared for this.
On this day, the nine Dao Masters gathered in the main palace.
The palace was closed and isolated from the outside world.
First Dao Master said, “Everyone, we have channeled our divine sense into the Frozen World and it is definitely recovering rapidly. This matches up to what Luo Guan said. As the world recovers, World Origin is being refined. As long as we have the World Heart, we will be able to get World Origin.
“However, there is an issue.” First Dao Master scanned the group, “The energy expended as the Frozen World recovers is too much and it has long since surpassed the ordinary range. Right now, the nine White Jade Capitals are all supplying the energy and therefore, it is not too obvious. However, if it was only a single White Jade Capital giving the energy, it would be hard for it to sustain.”
His eyes swept past Seventh Dao Master.
Seventh Dao Master frowned slightly, “I do not know anything about this and Luo Guan did not mention anything either.”
“Hmph!” Fourth Dao Master snapped, “I just knew that Luo Guan was hiding something. Healing a world is not as simple as it seems.”
When they first entered the Frozen World, two cultivators under Fourth Dao Master were heavily injured by Qin Yu and they returned empty-handed. He did not have a good impression of Qin Yu. Furthermore, the facts were presented in front of them and the rest of the Dao Masters were well aware of what was happening. They merely chose silence. Now, this issue had been placed on the table.
First Dao Master scanned the group, “Everyone, I believe we should clarify things to prevent errors.”
“I agree.”
“Call for Luo Guan.”
“He must give us an answer about this.”
Seventh Dao Master nodded, “Since everyone agrees, I will call for him.” The moment he finished speaking, his eyes flashed and he looked at the entrance of the main palace.
The rest of the Dao Masters had a similar reaction.
“Luo Guan seeks an audience with the Dao Masters.” A calm voice was transmitted into their ears. Those who had met Qin Yu before frowned sightly. From his voice and the aura that he transmitted, they could tell…Luo Guan seemed to be stronger! Was it because he had received the power of faith from the people in the Frozen World?
Seventh Dao Master waved his sleeve and the main palace opened, “Fellow Daoist Luo Guan, please enter.”
Qin Yu strode into the main palace and bowed, “Every Dao Master is present. That’s good, I have something to report.”
First Dao Master said, “Go ahead.”
Qin Yu said, “Recently, I realized that the World Heart had been absorbing a ridiculous amount of energy. However, the healing of the Frozen World does not match up to the energy expenditure. I realized this many days ago, but I did not find the reason until three days ago when a stream of faith fused with my Great Dao.”
He took a look around him and said, “Now, I can confirm that as I am refining this World Heart, to supplement energy to the rest of the worlds linked to the altar, the recovery of this World Heart is also helping the other worlds.”
The Dao Masters in the palace were mildly surprised as they stared at Qin Yu in silence…this was a coincidence. When they just mentioned this, Qin Yu came over to give a logical explanation. White Jade Capital had also long confirmed that the altar in the Sea of Confusion linked to other worlds.
Was this the truth?
Fourth Dao Master maintained a straight face, “Luo Guan, how many other worlds are linked?”
“Eight.” Qin Yu raised his head. He was calm and his tone was warm. No one could detect any emotions from him, “I have no need to conceal my identity anymore. Long ago, I became the
Inheritor of the Ninerealm Holy Land. However, since fellow Dao Masters discovered these nine worlds before me, they are destined not to be controlled by me. This is also why I am here to propose a deal with fellow Dao Masters…I can give World Origin to you, but all the living creatures in the Ninerealms are loyal believers of mine and they are key to me igniting my Great Dao. I will not tolerate losing them.”
“Eight…adding on the Frozen World, there are Ninerealms!” First Dao Master leaned forward and his voice deepened, “Luo Guan, what do you want to say?”
Qin Yu explained, “The sudden change in things is actually good for the nine Dao Masters!” He gestured with his fingers, “The nine worlds are currently recovering, and if we invest in them, we may be able to refine nine complete World Origins. Of course, we should proceed as per normal. In order to assure Dao Masters, I can refine World Hearts and pass them to you all…however, this requires time. Firstly, the World Hearts from the recently recovered worlds may encounter issues if we proceed hastily. Secondly, even if I am the master of the Ninerealm Holy Land, it is not easy to accomplish this and I need time to prepare.”
There was utter silence in the main palace!
No one spoke and all eyes that were on Qin Yu were burning with passion.
Nine complete World Origins!
In other words, the nine Dao Masters would not need to compete among themselves. Each of them would have one and they would all get an equal share.
“Luo Guan, what do you want?” Second Dao Master asked.
He had voiced the question in everyone’s minds.
Qin Yu was already prepared for this. After a brief pause, he said, “I want Dao Masters to swear that you will not fight over this in the future…aside from that, help me to ignite my Incense Great Dao.”
A complete guarantee.
To raise his strength!
To the Dao Masters, this was quite reasonable. There was nothing in the world that came for free, especially with the things that they were doing now. Qin Yu had given up nine worlds for his own safety and cultivation. It was not asking for too much.
“Okay!” First Dao Master said, “I will represent the nine White Jade Capitals and make you this guarantee.”
No one opposed and that showed that they were all agreeable on this.
Qin Yu said, “Nine Dao Masters’ cultivations are invincible and you are peak existences of cultivation. A promise is worth a thousand words and please forgive me for being meticulous; I do not dare to give trust so easily.” His eyes fell onto Ninth Dao Master, “Therefore, Ninth Dao Master, please assist me in signing a contract with the nine Dao Masters. I will be assured with this.”
Seventh Dao Master calmly spoke, “It seems that Luo Guan really trusts Ninth Dao Master’s contract-creating abilities.” There was a deeper meaning in his words. There was a shift in the expressions of the other Dao Masters, but they remained calm.
Ninth Dao Master smiled, “Of course, I can help you.” He scanned the ground, “However, Seventh Dao Master’s contract abilities are very good too. Why don’t we work together to create this contact?”
First Dao Master said, “Alright, this is how it shall be decided. Seventh Dao Master, Ninth Dao Master, please go ahead.”
Seventh Dao Master lifted his hand and pointed forward. A ball of light immediately appeared. It seemed to be very lively as it continuously moved in space.
Ninth Dao Master waved his sleeve and another ball of light appeared. It flew ahead and fused with the light ball from Seventh Dao Master.
Buzz –
A strange wave of energy was released. Everyone in the palace could sense the details in the contract.
“If there are no other opinions, lets sign it.” First Dao Master gestured with his hand and was the first to sign the contract.
The rest of the Dao Masters followed suit.
Eventually, the light ball landed in front of Qin Yu. He collected his thoughts and carefully examined it. Then he swiped his hand and stored the contract.
Cupping his hands together, he said, “Thank you Dao Masters!”
He truly had to thank them, because this appeared like a simple action, but it was actually a key step in his revised plan.
Ninth Dao Master and Seventh Dao Master had signed a contract with him before, and now, the two of them had signed a second contract with Qin Yu and the other nine Dao Masters.
They did not seem related, but in fact, Seventh Dao Master and Ninth Dao Master were where the rivers met in the contract. The both of them acted as intermediaries and Qin Yu was now entangled with every Dao Master. This entanglement would be very important in the future!
First Dao Master lowered his head and looked over, “Qin Yu, we have shown our sincerity. Now, I will ask give you another reminder…do not pull any schemes in the dark or I guarantee that the nine White Jade Capitals will be your enemy. In the entire world, no one will be able to protect you, even if a ruler of a Blazing Sun helps you!”
His tone was sinister and cold.
At the same time, he was extremely confident sice he raised the Blazing Suns.
Such confidence…only those at the pinnacle of human cultivation, the masters of the nine White Jade Capitals, could have it!
Qin Yu’s expression was calm, “I am not so foolish to seek my own death.” He cupped his hands together, “Since Dao Masters have expressed your agreement to this, then in order to heal the rest of the nine worlds, you will need to channel more energy. This act might harm the White Jade Capitals so you should make necessary preparations.”
First Dao Master waved his hand, “We will take care of this correctly; you can just act accordingly.”
“Alright, then I will take my leave.” Qin Yu cupped his hands and turned around to leave.
The nine Dao Masters remained silent in the main palace. However, there were many thoughts flooding their minds right now.
“Everyone, we have to be serious and careful about this.” Fourth Dao Master slowly spoke.
Second Dao Master nodded, “That’s right, the nine White Jade Capitals are involved in this and if anything goes wrong, the consequences would be unimaginable.”
First Dao Master added, “Then we should examine the World Heart.”
The rest of the Dao Masters nodded.
First Dao Master reached forward and grabbed. Space vibrated and the World Heart appeared.
That’s right, they had left this item in Qin Yu’s hands but they had to be cautious. The seal that the nine Dao Masters prepared together had not been fake and it was also able to teleport the World Heart when the nine Dao Masters were agreed on it.
As to what would happen if Luo Guan found out about this? Foolish! They were only in an agreement and they were not brothers in arms. It was only natural that they guarded against him.
