Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 1622: Soul Separation


Chapter 1622: Soul Separation

There was a sudden pause amidst the raging thunderclouds. Rourou smiled, “That’s right. We should all know our place in order to live on better.”

Boom –

As if angered by her challenge, the third lightning column struck. Rourou extended her hand once more and grabbed onto the Blood Umbrella, soaked with the blood of tens of thousands of barbarian warriors.

She remained smiling and her smile seemed to have widened. Endless Karma Blood Flames covered her entire body. A very soft sound could be heard, “It seems like you do not believe what I just said.”

Crack –

A soft sound could be heard from Rourou’s body. In an instant, her aura contracted. It was like a stone or a wooden column. It did not budge at all.

However, everyone else could clearly sense the despairing and violent destructive force. It was enough to destroy everything…even the world would not be spared.

The thunderous cloud above her fell silent and slowly dissipated. In a few moments, it was completely gone.

The sun came out and its warm rays shone on everyone from the Divine Stone Tribe, making them feel alive again. If not for the person above their heads, covered in blood flames and still having the occasional stray electricity escaping, they would have believed that everything had been in their imagination.

But it was not.

The entire Divine Stone Tribe had suffered the aftermath and was almost completely destroyed. Only twenty percent of the warriors that had formed battle formations were left standing.

The rest had been turned to dust and vanished completely from this earth because of Rourou.

As for the regular clan members, the number of deaths was at least ten times higher and maybe more!

Were they in the wrong?

Not necessarily! Perhaps up until their deaths, they still did not know what was happening.

But the Tribe Leader of the Divine Stone Clan, Shi Gan, had made the choice for them to die.

This was the sorrow of the weak. They could not decide their births, and even their deaths were in someone else’s hands.

Woosh –

Rourou turned and left. Taking a step, she vanished.

The old Tribe Leader of the Green Willow Tribe looked pale and exhausted. He was swaying as he stood.

Rourou reappeared a distance away from the Divine Stone Clan. The Karma Blood Flame was being suppressed.

As Qin Yu looked at this extremely pale face in front of him, he thought about all the barbarians from the Divine Stone Clan that had died today. He wore a complicated expression.

Rourou sneered, “Though the title of Barbarian King sounds good, don’t think that is all there is to it. This was just a few tens of thousands of people. So what if it’s hundreds of thousands? There is only meaning if you are alive. Remember this and don’t find trouble in the future.”

Qin Yu sucked in a deep breath, “Let’s not talk about this. How are you?”

“I am good.”

“The truth.”

Rourou fell silent for a while before she said slowly, “I have to go.”

Qin Yu frowned, “Just like that?”

Rourou replied, “I will be sleeping for a while and will not be able to descend. It is good that the score between us has been settled. Otherwise I would lose out if I couldn’t get what I deserve and it would be hard to sleep.”

Qin Yu sucked in a deep breath, “How long?”

Rourou glanced at him. Before she could speak, Qin Yu interrupted, “I want the truth!”

Pursing her lips, she said slowly, “Perhaps for a long time. But I won’t die and I will definitely be back. So Qin Yu, you must continue surviving for a very very long time. You had better not die and not leave even a fragment of your soul behind before I come out.”

Qin Yu frowned harder. This meant that it would really be a long time. It could be so long that they would never get a chance to meet again.

Looking at Rourou, sorrow suddenly flooded his heart. Though Qin Yu tried his best, he could not stop his eyes from turning red.

He took a deep breath and leaned to the side, “Is there any way to help you?”

Rourou sighed and spoke gently, “There is nothing. As I said before, your current cultivation level is too weak.”

Whether this was really the case or she just said it to poke fun at him, Rourou smiled, “Work hard on cultivating. One day, when you can punch a hole in the net, you will be able to save me.”

Qin Yu fell silent.

Rourou waved her hand, “Okay, I really don’t have time. I have some things that I need to tell you. The first is related to the Grandeur and Millet Realm. I left something for you. If one day, you are in dire straits and are about to die, don’t give up. Believe in ‘hope in desperate situations’ and the meaning behind that.

“Secondly, the Ruler you have is not simple. Really. This is the most that I can give you. Other than that, I may have some relation with her. Hmmm…I can’t say exactly as I am not too sure either. Just be careful. She might be an existence equivalent to me, but may not be as patient as I am.

“Thirdly, always carry with you the treasure that I created in the capital. This is so that…if you really reincarnate, I will be able to find you and help you recall the memories of this lifetime.

“Lastly…to satisfy your curiosity, I am indeed familiar with Divine Dragon City. Strictly speaking, this is because that only true dragon in this world, is a pet that I raised.”

Rourou smiled widely as she waved her hand. Traces of the Karma Blood Flame that she had suppressed started to appear once more, “I have to go. See you next time, Qin Yu.”

“Wait!” Qin Yu suddenly said as he stared at Rourou, “Hold on a while longer…before I wake, don’t leave.”

Rourou frowned, “I told you that it is no use…”

Qin Yu already closed his eyes.

……

Far away, at the half-abandoned Heaven and Earth Gap, the eyelashes of the sleeping Ruler fluttered. She slowly opened her eyes.

At this moment, numerous stars were shifting in her eyes and they were extremely beautiful.

After a short while, she suddenly raised her hand and clutched her head as she groaned, “Qin Yu, little Qin Yu, are you poison? Why are you always interrupting my beautiful dream!”

As she said this, she gritted her teeth and really wanted to reach out and drag that brat here to give him a good beating!

The Ruler struggled to get up before massaging her brows, “Even I think this is difficult, why must you bother?

“It is not like she will die. She will at most sleep for a long time and will eventually be able to come back out. If you interfere and something goes wrong, someone might really die.”

She lifted her hand to knock her head. She looked angry, “You can’t understand? I think you are choosing lust over your life. You are asking to die!”

The Ruler lay down sideways, “I don’t care, I don’t care. You can do what you want!” She closed her eyes and covered her ears. However, she could not block him out. “Ah!” she jumped up and scolded, “Bastard, I am warning you. Don’t go overboard! After all, I am you…if you annoy me, I will deal with you!”

She waved her sleeve and sealed the half-abandoned Heaven and Earth Gap, cutting off all senses.

“Hehe, look at yourself before you want to save others…unless that one helps you, you can forget about succeeding.”

……

Qin Yu opened his eyes. In front of him, Rourou was covered entirely in Karma Blood Flames. Far behind her, the world was shaking. He could sense that the trembling world was emitting a strong repulsion force, about to separate her from this world.

“I have a way to help you. Trust me. Bring me with you!” Qin Yu shouted.

Amidst the fire, Rourou massaged her brows, “Stop it. You can’t go to where I am from.”

“External objects cannot enter, but souls are different. As long as you are willing, you can bring me in!”

Rourou frowned, “Qin Yu, have you thought about this properly? Once you go, you will die!”

Qin Yu shook his head, “I won’t die and neither will you.” He stepped forward, “After sleeping for a long time, you will definitely wake up and descend into this world once more. But when that happens, you may not remember me. You told me to carry the treasure made from cicada wings and deceased jellyfish with me. You want to find me again after you forget me right?”

In the fire, Rourou’s eyes widened.

Qin Yu smiled, “Are you surprised? See, I even know secrets like this. I am not spouting nonsense. You have no more time. If you stay here any longer, your injuries will worsen by one third. Bring me home with you. I can definitely bring you back!”

Rourou muttered, “I did not force you. You did this willingly…” She reached out and grabbed. In a flash, Qin Yu’s soul left his body. Before he could feel anything, he fell into darkness.

In the next moment, the Karma Blood Flame disappeared. Rourou and Qin Yu fell onto the ground. They fell into a coma with their souls having left their bodies.

A moment later, the sounds of swords could be heard. With a swoosh, there was silence again. White Iris appeared in front of the two of them. She hurried to Rourou’s side. She dropped to one knee and hugged Rourou. When she felt the coldness from her body, her eyes became icy and murderous.

“Although I don’t really like Marquis Chongwu, I advise you not to do anything.”

“If he is dead, I will die as well.”

A young man holding a sword called Leftover Dog appeared beside her without notice. His face was extremely pale and he seemed to barely have any breath left.

White Iris looked up. With only her eyes visible, she spoke sinisterly, “Are you going to stop me?”

Leftover Dog coughed a few times and wiped the droplets of blood away. He spoke seriously, “No, I just want to live.”

……

Everything was foggy as if he had hit his head against a huge rock. He could not open his eyes and was only half conscious.

He could make out some noise. Someone was calling a name…a woman….

Who is she calling? Is she calling me? But who am I? Where am I? I want to get up, but my head is so heavy. I can’t do it.

After struggling and wasting some energy, he fell into a deep sleep once more and the sound he heard faded away.

……

The old Tribe Leader from the Green Willow Tribe looked at Shi Gan, who appeared as if he had aged a hundred years in a single day. He spoke slowly, “Tell me what exactly happened.”

Shi Gan was expressionless, “Desolate man, Marquis Chongwu killed my tribe’s totem, Divine Stone…”

He got interrupted. The old Tribe Leader slammed the table, “Old monkey! You may fool others with this, but you cannot fool me!”

He leaned forward and stared straight into his eyes, “If you don’t feel guilty, then look into my eyes and repeat what you just said.”

Shi Gan lowered his head and drank his tea, “Even if I say it a thousand times, it will be the same.”

The old Tribe Leader took a deep breath, “You must know that Marquis Chongwu is our Green Willow Tribe’s benefactor. We owe many lives to him. A large part of the reason why he chose the Divine Stone Tribe is because of me…”

Shi Gan replied, “What are you trying to say?”

The old Tribe Leader turned and left, “From today, we are no longer friends.”

Shi Gan did not ask him to stay and allowed him to walk out of the garden that had managed to escape the battle. A figure shot to the sky, leaving the Divine Stone Tribe’s territory.

Pak –

A tea cup was thrown onto the floor and smashed to pieces. Shi Gan lowered his head. His pale old face was hidden in the shadows.

“Old friend, I am just indignant. I just want to live. Is that so wrong of me? The Heavens are too unfair!”

A suppressed growl could be heard that echoed in the garden.
