Refining the Mountains and Rivers-Chapter 1837(2) – B – Besieging White Jade Capital

Seventh Dao Master took a deep breath and said, “I’m fine.” He wiped away the blood and remained calm. Color returned to his pale face, and at least on the surface, it did not seem like he was too affected.

However, only he knew what his true condition was…scholar Cheng Haoran’s blow to him this time was massive! Seventh Dao Master had mastered the art of illusions and projections, this was the path of cultivation that he created by integrating the laws of the world.

However, though Seventh Dao Master had worked with illusions all his life, he ended up being bitten by his illusion. There was no way that he was not feeling resentful and angry, but he knew that focusing on this now was useless. He raised his head and looked at the World Origin that was almost fully condensed.

Once it was finished condensing, all of his wounds would be healed.

“Kill!” The daoist wielding a sword roared and he slashed his longsword downwards towards Seventh Dao Master. Everyone was scared of the strong, but fast to bully the weak. Most importantly, the nine White Jade Capitals’ auras were integrated with each other. Just killing one of the Dao Masters would cause the other White Jade Capitals to be affected.

The Origin Beast had the same target as the scholar, already setting its eyes on Seventh Dao Master…killing all nine Dao Masters did not seem quite realistic, but if it could even get rid of one, it would die with no regrets.

Roar –

With a roar, the Origin Beast rushed out aggressively. Majestic heaven and earth energy surged as it moved. Rumbling sounds were produced as if a great, towering tide was rushing towards Seventh Dao Master. Perhaps the scholar’s suicide had given the Origin Beast inspiration. At this moment, its eyes were filled with determination.

A second later, a huge deafening boom erupted. The Origin Beast’s body shrunk to half its size before it swelled and exploded. Being at the peak of the True King realm, just one step away from becoming a Dao Master, the Origin Beast’s self-destruction power was incomparably terrifying. Furthermore, all of its body’s World Origin erupted along with it.

The nine World Origins that were being condensed were instantly affected. It started to tremble unstably, causing all of the Dao Masters to look furious. All of them took action to protect themselves from the shockwave that came from the self-destruction of the Origin Beast. At the same time, they neglected Seventh Dao Master, who was now enduring the impact of the Origin Beast’s self-destruction alone. Before, the nine White Jade Capitals truly acted as one body. As the rulers over the White Jade Capitals, the Dao Masters would definitely have helped Seventh Dao Master, since they were all co-dependent on each other. 

However, things were different now…the World Origins were being condensed now and this process was getting close to completion, which would guarantee a huge possibility of the Dao Masters breaking through their bottlenecks and reaching the World realm. When that happened, there would be a great difference between their Great Daos. The increase in their power after reaching the World realm would definitely also be different.

Seventh Dao Master’s Projection Divine Way made even the other Dao Masters fearful. If they could get rid of a powerful opponent in advance, none of them would object to it. Of course, apart from this, they did not have to care about Seventh Dao Master because he was definitely not going to be killed so easily.

All of them were Dao Masters and they knew each other quite well. They each had their own tricks, and although they would not dare say that they knew everything about each other, they were quite familiar with one another.

For the time being, Seventh Dao Master would not die. Even if he was heavily injured, he would be able to hold on until the World Origins finished condensing. As for whether he could still live afterwards…hehe, if he still did not die afterwards, they would not mind giving him a hand.

Pu –

After almost fully bearing the impact of the Origin Beast’s self-destruction, Seventh Dao Master coughed out blood that instantly turned into mist. The color that he regained on his face earlier quickly disappeared and his face turned pale again.

Like a sheet of paper…but now, there was only a calm expression in Seventh Dao Master’s eyes. As mentioned earlier, the Dao Masters were very well-acquainted with each other. Naturally, Seventh Dao Master could guess what the other Dao Masters were thinking of.

“Awaken!” Seventh Dao Master growled.

The moment he spoke, countless cultivators who were looking at the nine suns and at the huge battle from a far distance away suddenly closed their eyes. When they opened their eyes again, they were still themselves, but their auras changed greatly.

Boom –

Boom –

These cultivators rushed up into the sky one after another.

However, at this moment, the biggest change occurred to the sword-wielding daoist’s body. His whole face suddenly contorted in pain as he wailed miserably, “No, this is impossible! Back then, I had already personally killed your illusion…”

Seventh Dao Master’s gaze was cold as he replied, “Not just that. In these last few years, you killed many of my projections. However, what you did not know was that these illusions were sent to you by me to be destroyed! It’s because this was the only way that the projections could integrate with your body and absorb enough power from you. As they continued to lurk in your body, they quietly integrated with your soul too.

“Do not bother struggling anymore, it’s useless. Your soul has been parasitized by my projections and you are therefore my puppet. This is a fact that cannot be changed.”

“Ah!” The daoist cried out loud. He turned around, wanting to escape, but before he could run, he stopped again.

He closed his eyes and then re-opened them.

The daoist turned around abruptly and with his black sword in hand, he charged towards Emperor Wood’s projection with an expressionless face.

At this moment, countless illusion puppets that were awoken had already come to the seventh White Jade Capital, charging outwards fearlessly. Many of them were powerful and reputable people from the human cultivation system. Only today was it exposed that most of them had been under the control of Seventh Dao Master’s projections.

Ninth Dao Master’s face became gloomy and he said, “Seventh Dao, you are truly formidable!” Some of the puppets that rushed to the seventh White Jade Capital had come from the ninth White Jade Capital.

The other Dao Masters looked upset as well for the exact same reason.

First Dao Master said coldly, “Seventh Dao, you’ve really crossed the line!” Back then, Seventh Dao Master once promised them that he would not use his projection powers within the White Jade Capitals. Now, it seemed that he did not keep his promise at all.

First Dao Master saw a female cultivator amongst these people, and this female cultivator was only in the King realm. Amongst all the puppets, she was not very strong, but she had another identity that no one knew about – she was a secret lover of First Dao Master, who lived outside of White Jade Capital. Their relationship was extremely good, and she even gave birth to a child.

This was one of First Dao Master’s secrets, but evidently, it was not a secret that he could keep anymore.

Seventh Dao Master’s expression was calm. Since he awakened these projections, he had already expected that things would come to this. He looked around him and slowly said, “There’s no need to be indirect between us. It’s such a waste of time. That’s right, I went against my initial promise, but which promises between us aren’t broken?”

He scoffed and said, “I think I should let all of you know that I’ve only awakened some of my projections and another portion of them are still asleep. If any of you dare to collaborate against me, then we can all go down together. I am not confident that I can kill all of you, but it should not be too difficult to destroy a few White Jade Capitals.”

“Enough!” Second Dao Master spoke in a low voice, “Let bygones be bygones. What’s most important now is getting World Origin.”

“That’s right, everything else is unimportant now.”

“World Origin is right in front of us now, and only outsiders will benefit from an internal conflict that happens between our nine White Jade Capitals.”

“Seventh Dao, put away your hostility. We have always shared weal and woe together. Naturally, we will not work against you.”

Seventh Dao Master cupped his hands and said, “It would be best if that was the case. I was just being petty and I apologize to all of you for that.”

It seemed that the turmoil was going to blow over soon, but Qin Yu did not wish for this to be over so quickly and easily. An internal conflict between the nine Dao Masters, or even the outbreak of a battle, was what he wanted to see the most. This was his best opportunity…so he decided to take action now!

With a single thought, the nine World Origins in front of Seventh Dao Master began to tremble violently.

Qin Yu cried out in shock, “Ninth Dao Master, what are you doing!”

Buzz –

At this moment, a strong contractual restrictive aura was released from his body.

The Dao Masters were familiar with this aura, it was Ninth Dao Master’s aura!
