《Refining the Mountains and Rivers》Chapter 764B – Star Cutting Grass Leaf
Advertisement
The Radiance Temple Master’s face paled. She glared at Qin Yu. If looks could kill, Qin Yu would have died of a thousand cuts already.
This was the Myriad Enlightenment Fruit! The Myriad Enlightenment Fruit that she had raised with her own blood energy for several hundred years! The Myriad Enlightenment Fruit that was about to mature and be ready to use…it hurt, it hurt so much that she felt her heart would explode!
No, calm down. Don’t think about the heartache yet. This clearly isn’t the important issue right now.
Once the Hidden Fog Sect obtained the rights to use the Time Mystic Realm, they really had a chance of standing back up. They would trample over Radiance Temple once more. If that were to happen, everything that Radiance Temple paid to prevent such a scene from occurring would all become meaningless, and she would be punished as a result.
How hateful! Just who was this black-robed person that the Time Altar would place him in such high regards? That grass leaf in his hand had to be a treasure!
To sacrifice such a treasure on behalf of the Hidden Fog Sect, just what was he doing this for!?
But what a pity, Qin Yu would never give the Radiance Temple Master an answer to this question. When he obtained the Myriad Enlightenment Fruit, he loosened his hand and allowed the swallowing strength to carry the Star Cutting Grass leaf away.
Hu –
It landed on the balance tray. The side that represented Radiance Temple was sent flying all the way up.
The Time Altar shook. Its surface opened to reveal an entrance.
Bang –
The phoenix luan’s massive figure was forcefully expelled. Its body was curled up together as fluctuations of strength erupted from it. It was in an extremely unstable state.
This Radiance Temple spirit beast was actually in the process of advancing…
The Radiance Temple Master had been making up stories this entire time, but now she was left dumbfounded. Could someone tell her why the phoenix luan, which had been in a perfectly good state before, had suddenly started advancing?
This was absolutely a good deed, but the timing was all off. During the advancement process, it had been thrust out by the Time Altar.
The flowing fluctuations of time across its body caused it to lose control of its inner strength. The chances of advancement fell towards the abyss of failure.
“No!”
The Radiance Temple Master screamed out loud. Her ten fingers danced about as she waved a series of seals that suppressed the rampaging strength of the phoenix luan.
“We’re leaving!” She bitterly stared at Qin Yu. Then, with a flick of her sleeves she put away the phoenix luan and left in a hurry with the other Radiance Temple cultivators in tow.
Qin Yu didn’t care that the Radiance Temple Master hated him. In fact, he didn’t even spare her a glance. His eyes fell onto the entrance in the Time Altar and his thoughts raced.
It was clear that the little blue lamp wanted to take advantage of it. In this situation, staying away as much as possible was the best choice.

Mm. Let’s do that.
“Sect Master Hu Fu…” This sort of thing where the safety factor was unknown should be left to the Hidden Fog Sect people.
But just as Qin Yu opened his mouth, he was interrupted by the little blue lamp’s thoughts. “I will need your assistance following this, so you must enter yourself.”
The white-haired Hu Fu gasped out, “Mister, what instructions do you have?” Although he was going to die soon, he was actually overjoyed. This was because the Hidden Fog Sect had found a favorable turn today. It was just that after today, they would owe mister even more.
But sometimes, owing favors was a way to draw two sides together. As long as mister wasn’t annoyed by them, he didn’t mind having the Hidden Fog Sect owing him some more.
Qin Yu was silent for a moment. “It’s nothing. I will enter the Time Altar, so the rest of you wait outside!” He looked at the open entrance to the mystic realm and felt a little anxious. He always felt that it looked like some wide open mouth.
“Teacher, you are going in? Should I accompany you?” Yun Die sincerely asked, anticipation in her voice.
This was the legendary power that could alter the flow of time. If she could experience it for herself, that would surely be wonderful. As for dangers…as long as she stayed by teacher’s side, dangers didn’t exist!
After so many things happened, after so many rises and falls, Yun Die now had full faith in her teacher. But what a pity, teacher wasn’t willing to accept her. To give the Chaotic Sky Chronicle to teacher was the least she could do to repay him.
Perhaps after entering the Time Altar, the distorted time there would affect teacher’s decision and he would decide to accept her? Thinking of this, Yun Die’s face flushed red and her eyes shined a bit.
Qin Yu lifted his head, speechless. If he had a choice, he wouldn’t want to enter either!
Moreover, it’s fine if you want to go in, but why are you blushing? And even if you are blushing, why are you looking at me in such a charmingly enticing manner?
Without knowing the inside story, I fear that you probably think I would do something to you in there. I’m being wronged here!
“Cough! Teacher has his own plans. You can wait outside here.” Qin Yu stepped forward, not giving her another chance to speak.
As the entrance to the Time Mystic Realm opened, the mystical strength that wrapped around the Time Altar vanished. Qin Yu took several steps forward and arrived outside the entrance.
He took a deep breath, clenched his teeth, and walked inside. Little blue lamp, us buddies haven’t seen each other for such a long time so I hope you aren’t going to cheat me here!
Like passing through a layer of ice water, a cold energy immediately penetrated his body. It passed deep into his marrow, and even Qin Yu’s thoughts seemed to pause for a moment.
When he regained his senses, he had appeared in a foggy world. It was empty all around. Besides the earth beneath his feet, it was a blank space.

“This is the Time Mystic Realm? It’s much larger than I imagined. There doesn’t seem to be an end to it.” Qin Yu thought to himself.
The little blue lamp’s thought fluctuations were calm. “In truth, this is only your illusion.” As its voice fell, Qin Yu’s eyes brightened. In the next moment numerous straight lines appeared in the limitless space.
They were neatly arranged and would appear at set distances, spreading all the way to the end of his line of sight.
“What is this? A mirror?” Qin Yu suddenly responded, his eyes wide.
The little blue lamp said, “You aren’t wrong. To be more exact, it is duplicated space overlapping upon itself using the power of time. This is an extremely high-end ability that can extend a space the size of a room to an infinite degree…it seems that the background of this place is larger than I imagined.”
Qin Yu: …
He always had a foreboding premonition.
He thought about it and earnestly said, “If you don’t have confidence, should we consider giving up?”
The little blue lamp said, “There’s no time. When the Time Altar accepted the offering of the Star Cutting Grass leaf, things already started.”
Qin Yu rubbed his forehead. “Then what can I do?”
“You don’t need to do anything at all.”
Qin Yu: &…$%!
If you don’t need me to do anything then why am I here? Time Altar, are you there? Open the door, I want to leave!
“Stop wasting your breath. It cannot hear you. Even if you shout until your throat is sore, it is useless.”
Since it wanted to take advantage of this Time Altar and seize its power of time, the little blue lamp had naturally made preparations. Everything here was isolated and could not be sensed from the outside.
Otherwise, as long as he made a move it would be sensed by the one who built the Time Altar. If that were the case, they might as well go home early and play with mud.
“In truth, I expressed myself incorrectly. You need to stay here until my arrangements are effective. Then, you need to follow my instructions and complete the final, as well as most essential, step. This is why you need to be here.”
Qin Yu bitterly smiled. “It seems I don’t have any choice. You have to be careful. Don’t mess up!”
He only had one life. Once given away, it was gone.
This duplicated space that overlapped with the power of time…Qin Yu couldn’t understand this at all. But if it had such a long-winded name to it, it clearly represented an especially arrogant and heaven-shaking level of strength.
If he were to provoke such an existence, just a casual wave of their hand would be enough for him to die without a burial ground!
As he thought, something like the little blue lamp which had heaven-defying attributes to begin with shouldn’t have shown up, because once it did show up, that meant incredible things were about to happen.
If I survive today, let’s do our best to see each other as little as possible!
Little blue lamp: …
It suddenly felt nauseous. My partner was originally a mentally strong cultivator with amazing willpower, a youth who dug his way up from the ground to stand above his peers. After not seeing each other for some time, how has he become like this?
The overlapping of space and time could cause a cultivator’s personality to change. Could such a phenomenon have occurred?
It silently sensed its connection with Qin Yu. After a long time, it let out a sigh of relief.
It was still the same Qin Yu and his body hadn’t been seized by others. Thinking that Qin Yu would remain in his current state for the foreseeable future, the little blue lamp suddenly felt tired.
Would it have another chance to exchange for a new awesome and hot-blooded partner? It could only wait and see!
Qin Yu took out the container with the medication and placed it to the side. Then he closed his eyes and tried to sense the changes around him.
One day outside, 30 days inside.
A full thirty times the time deficit was simply unbelievable. If he could perceive just a little bit, even the tiniest gains would be enough for him to greatly benefit!
Two hours.
Four hours.
Six hours.
Qin Yu opened his mouth. He sighed, “As I thought, wanting to perceive the power of time is just the babblings of an idiot.”
Even his legs were numb but he hadn’t gotten any harvests at all. To him, there didn’t seem to be a difference between this Time Mystic Realm and the outside world. The only difference was that the density of spiritual strength here was much thicker than in the outside world. But Qin Yu had never been someone who relied on the spiritual strength in the world to cultivate. This basically didn’t have much effect on him.
The little blue lamp was left speechless once more.
This was the power of time. Only supreme beings who stood near the peak of cultivation, who had completely solidified their own domain and whose divine sense had reached the point of being as realistic as the real world, had the possibility of controlling such a high-class power.
In the legends, when one travelled far enough on the path of time, they could even summon the river of time and reverse its flow to a small degree. They would be able to restore things that had been buried in the river of time, and even resurrect those who had died.
In the myriad heavens and worlds, how many mighty beings had yearned to perceive the mysteries of the power of time, trying their best to do so but never accomplishing anything?
With Qin Yu’s cultivation, he wanted to touch the power of time? This was simply the ravings of a lunatic…times a million!
If you were to truly succeed, then there really wouldn’t be justice in this world.

Dear Spellbook (Rewrite)
Live. Study. Repeat. Tal never saw himself as an adventurer, but the call to adventure never much cared for his opinion. Despite his best efforts, his search for answers on the murder of his parents ever draws him into danger. Accompanied by a group of seasoned warriors, thus far Tal has gotten by on his own meager magical talents, but when one day he wakes up to find himself back in his bed of the night before, he is faced with a challenge he must conquer alone. What to expect: This story was born of an attempt to create in world lore reasons for many of the mechanics and tropes of D&D, but you do not need to know of them to enjoy the story. It's a single POV time loop story with slow paced progression fantasy elements. The story is not one of fast-paced power ups and non-stop action, but as it progresses, the action picks up. There is a lot of magic system exploration on a system built to unify the diverse magic of D&D into one cohesive magic system. The setting is an original world with familiar races and monsters but with new unique origins and motivations. The average chapter will be 2-5k words long, most being around 3k but there are a few less than 1k, due to the nature of the story telling device I used. Book 1 is complete. Posting is on hold until I finish book 2. Book 2 progress: The rough draft is done at 141656 words as of 7/9/2022. I need to reread and edit it but Im aiming for resuming chapters in September.
