Refining The Mountains And Rivers Chapter 853
Advertisement
Across from him, the Ancient suddenly spoke up. “You should understand how vital the integrity of the Dragon Soul is. Even if only a small part is missing, that will still result in severe consequences. In order to save this woman, you have ruined the foundation of your strength. Should I commend you for being someone who emphasizes affection and righteousness, or should I mock you for being someone who has brought about their own death?”
Qin Yu pointed his finger and broke space apart, sending the deeply slumbering Zhou Li away. He looked up at the Ancient and calmly said, “I admit that my actions right now seem foolish, but to me the consequences aren’t as serious as you say.”
From the spatial channel Zhou Li disappeared through, ancient blue lines began to appear. They rapidly spread outwards from this point, covering the surrounding space. Then with a hum, they vanished.
The Ancient furrowed his eyebrows. He could already feel that this space was isolated from the outside world with an extremely ingenious method. Even with his strength, it wouldn’t be easy to break through this imprisonment and leave.
His icy cold eyes locked onto Qin Yu. “It seems that you really have some assurances to have me remain here. Good. Very good. The Ancient race is indeed the Ancient race. Even if there is only one remaining in the myriad worlds, they still have the belief and faith to struggle against the heavens. But in front of absolute strength, there is no chance for you to succeed!”
Whoosh –
The Ancient God Spear pierced out as fast as lightning. It tore through the void, soaring towards Qin Yu’s chest. A dim black light surged on the tip of the spear as a faint aura emanated outwards, each strand tearing apart an opening in space. But within these spatial openings, ancient blue lines appeared. They were like potent bonds that forcefully maintained the integrity of the surrounding space.
Before the spear point landed, a terrifying slaughter aura arrived, causing Qin Yu’s armor to rattle and release grating sounds. Countless tiny depressions and cracks began to appear. It was clear that if this spear was to land, even if the Ancient God Armor was strong, Qin Yu would still be pierced through and all of his vitality would be erased.
Out of the three great holy relics that were bred within the Ancient race’s three Holy Mountains, the destruction Ancient God Spear meant for frontal combat had such terrifying power!
Qin Yu drew in a deep breath. Because of the flaw in the Dragon Soul, his foundation started to waver but he had forcefully suppressed it. He raised a hand and brought it forward, looking as if he wanted to grab the Ancient God Spear with it. But before he fully extended his arm, a thunderous roar sounded between the heavens and earth.

A spear phantom appeared in Qin Yu’s hand. In a spark of time, it directly collided with the Ancient God Spear. There was a heaven-shaking eruption like a million bolts of thunder crashing down in unison. A wild strength swept out, causing massive tracts of space to shatter like a mirror.
Countless ancient blue lines wildly appeared and shined out, counterbalancing the strength that tore away at the inside space. If it wasn’t for their existence then this entire space might have been destroyed. The battle between these two sides might even affect the outside world, leading to horrifying consequences.
“Ancient God Spear!” The Ancient howled out loud, shock revealed in his eyes for the first time. His eyes widened as they flooded with disbelief. He stared at Qin Yu, emotions surging in his pupils. “There is only one Ancient God Spear in the world, and it is in my hands. How are you able to summon it?”
Qin Yu drew in a deep breath, easing the burning feeling in his chest. He paused for a moment before he slowly said, “The Ancient God Spear is a holy relic of the Ancient race. And you are no longer a pure Ancient.”
“What lies. That explanation makes no sense!” The Ancient’s pupils shrank to a point. “It looks like you really are hiding a colossal secret. This secret allows you to keep your strength stabilized even when the Dragon Soul is incomplete, and it also helps you to forcefully summon the arrival of the Ancient God Spear!
“As I thought, there is nothing in this world that can be completely foreseen. Qin Yu, your appearance has given me too many surprises. Once I kill you and swallow you, everything you now possess will all be mine.”
The Ancient raised the Ancient God Spear once more. Infinite darkness erupted from his body, diving up and down like an inferno. Although it was silent, it still emitted deafening roars. At this moment, the Ancient’s aura rose up to an unprecedented peak. He was like a great black sun, capable of drawing the entire world into the abyss!
“Die!”
With a loud roar the Ancient God Spear fell down once more. This was different from the casual strike before. Now that the Ancient had seen Qin Yu expose impossible mystery after mystery, he no longer dared to hold back. This spear contained the entirety of his strength. All of his terrifying power was condensed into a point.
At this moment, darkness covered the world!
Behind Qin Yu’s black helm, his eyes narrowed. A trace of dark golden light flashed in the depths of his pupils, revealing a turning point in the infinite darkness. In the next moment, light erupted like dawn in the darkness night. A great sun leapt out from the horizon without warning.

Within the darkness the light was like 10,000 sharp arrows exploding outwards. Without hesitation, a fierce collision occurred between the two sides. Light and dark fought each other like hot oil and cold water. Explosive rumbling sounds filled the world, the horrifying echoes shaking the soul.
Shua –
Qin Yu thrust out the Ancient God Spear in his hands. Like a blazing meteor in the night skies, it clashed with the dark Ancient God Spear. The surrounding space fell into a brief silence. It was like all the air had been sucked out, leaving no medium for sound to pass through.
Although sound wasn’t able to transmit outwards, the violent fluctuations of power were clearly perceivable for everyone. They were like giant flowers blooming in the void, half of them pitch black and the other half pure white. Both were fully distinct and yet seemingly quiet.
But between those black and white dividing lines, if one magnified it countless times over, they would see the black and white strengths frantically fighting with each other.
Because both sides were evenly matched and neither one was able to occupy the winning advantage, this peaceful and strange scene of black and white flowers blooming was created.
If someone approached, they wouldn’t even need to touch the ‘flowers’ before being sucked in by their strength and crushed to pieces!
The Ancient and Qin Yu were separated by the ‘flowers’ as they looked at each other. With their powerful insight, they were able to discover any slight change in their opponent’s stance.
But unfortunately, they didn’t obtain anything. They didn’t sense any change in emotion from their opponent’s heart.
But it was clear that this was impossible. Although the Ancient appeared calm, his heart was already surging like a stormy sea! The strength of the super dragon was terrifying and the Dao Monarch’s Great Dao was similarly horrifying. However, Qin Yu had just obtained them. With his cultivation boundary it should have been impossible for him to truly control their potent strengths.
Of course, countless miracles had appeared through the long span of time and there were always unexpected things that could happen. Taking 10,000 steps back, even if Qin Yu was truly able to control the power of the super dragon and the Dao Monarch, he still shouldn’t have the qualifications to directly fight with him…even if his current strength wasn’t at its peak state!
Just where had the problem occurred?
The Ancient’s eyes became increasingly profound, like a lake in the deep winter night. Although there were no waves, it could swallow all. He gazed at Qin Yu. Faint fluctuations of his soul spread out like the smallest tentacles, feeling his opponent’s aura.
The soul didn’t lie!
No matter how well a person hid themselves, their soul would truly show everything they had. But as soon as these soul tentacles approached Qin Yu, the Ancient coughed. His eyes widened with startled anger.
Just now, it was like he had bumped into an invisible mouth. All of those approaching soul tentacles had been swallowed up and lost the connection to their main body.
This wasn’t a surprise in itself. After all, in the endless heavens and myriad worlds, there were infinite secret arts and there were bound to be experts that were skilled in the aspect of souls. Perhaps Qin Yu was one of them. What truly shocked the Ancient was that after the soul tentacles were swallowed up, he unexpectedly felt a weakness in his own soul.
When he examined his soul he saw that it was still fully intact and the weak feeling also rapidly faded away. But, the Ancient still had a feeling that he had lost something forever and he simply didn’t realize it right now.
The Ancient believed in his own intuition. He knew very well that there were countless hidden and unknown existences in this world that were far more terrifying than he could imagine. From this moment on, Qin Yu’s standing in his mind grew at a dramatic pace. He truly regarded Qin Yu as his opponent for the first time.
This caused the Ancient to feel as if this situation was hilarious, as if he were a fool. He originally believed he controlled this puppet, but it had become the biggest loophole and hindrance in his plan. In fact, the Ancient even had a foreboding premonition. It was just that he crushed this thought as soon as it appeared.
After spending a million years and enduring countless tests, he had finally arrived at this point. He wouldn’t be defeated, he absolutely wouldn’t allow himself to be defeated…but, the Ancient still couldn’t figure it out. In his senses, this junior had at first been as weak and small as an ant. How had he grown to this current situation in such a short period of time? What had happened to him?
The sky reaching jade pendant and the embryo egg could be called the greatest secret in this world. Even if the Ancient had been here for nearly a million years and once ruled the entire world, he had never touched upon this secret existence.

A Virtual Invasion
An invasion from another dimension is shut down by an Empire's traitor and the world has a scant few decades to build the strength to resist a multidimensional Empire. How will the world fair when no one even knows its doom is one barred gate away? Fortunately, the traitor has a plan. Maybe with a bit of luck and planning, he can build a force to defend the world without anyone realizing it. Author's Thoughts: What is litRPG (From wikipedia) - LitRPG, short for Literary Role Playing Game, is a literary genre combining the conventions of MMORPGs with science-fiction fantasy novels.[1] LitRPG is a literary genre where games or game-like challenges form an essential part of the story. A LitRPG work simultaneously narrates the story of characters inside and outside of the game-world. At least some of the characters in a LitRPG novel therefore understand that they are playing a game: they are 'meta-aware'. So, while Tolkien's Lord of the Rings is a fantasy novel, a book about people creating avatars and interacting in a Lord of the Rings MMORPG would be a LitRPG novel.Why do I read them? You know, I am not too sure. I love MMOs. I played them, quit them, joined up and repeated the cycle. They are fun! They are a massive waste of time but so are most games. Do I want to read about someone else playing them? Sort of?The advent of VR and the possibility of VR someday becoming so immersive that you can't tell them from reality sets the imagination on fire. What if this could be life? But most stories fall short. At the end of the day the protagonist hangs up his VR helmet and goes to have dinner with his mom and dad or other family and it becomes meaningless. It's like the story that ends because the main character woke up and nothing you read matters.There have been some books that explore the concept of the intersection of reality and total immersion VR. Enders Game is a classic. There were a few others that escape me but they exist, however, the cross between the game and reality is weak.So what if the game was real? The technology needed for total immersion VR is so advanced that by the time we reach that goal technology should have naturally evolved to include several items. You must have direct neural input. You simply can't have a total immersion (all senses and perfect presence) experience without this basic prerequisite. If you have direct neural access, you can probably do neat things like feed knowledge and skills directly to that person. You can undoubtedly do many horrible things as well. Muscles are controlled by the brain. If you control the brain why would you let the body just sit there and rot? A person that sits unmoving for 24 hours a day will have their body whither away just like a coma patient. However, if you control the brain you could control the muscles. On a basic level, this would be isometric impulses, working muscle group against muscle group to avoid atrophy. Taken to its logical conclusion you would be able to gain muscle mass and program muscle memory. The flip side is that you could remote control their body... but let's not go there. So what would people do if it were real? Well, they would probably limit and regulate it since the drawbacks are very obvious. Even if you look at the basic aspects of this you can see some negative possibilities. Look at the Sword Art Online anime. Personally, I think they missed the boat by putting a bomb in the VR helmet. Do you really need a bomb when you have direct access to the brain?So what kind of events would you need to have a situation where the obvious drawbacks haven't been explored? Maybe a society where the advancement of technology has so far outstripped the explorations of its applications that ignorance was truly bliss? Okay, so I had to put in an alien invasion to kickstart the premise, but that was just one of the possibilities.
