Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Western Mountain became one of the strongest places in the Vast Brightness World.

The ancient tree supported the skies as it stood on the mountain.
Its thick roots dug deep into the body of the mountain and its lustrous canopy shadowed the light from the earth.

The Scholartree Saint stood beneath the ancient tree with his hands behind his back.
There was a strange feeling in the air.

The Spring Master and him lived together for so many years and they absorbed their master to achieve their cultivation realm.
They could sense each other.

Not long ago, the Scholartree Saint discovered the Spring Master’s secret…his soul was very weak and it was about to break apart.

The arrangement set up in the past was finally going to work.
Once the Spring Master died, the Scholartree Saint would possess everything of his.

This might be his chance to break through to become a Ruler!

After so many years of waiting, the Scholartree Saint did not mind waiting just a bit longer.
He wanted to strike the Spring Master viciously when the Spring Master had no more choices.

The Scholartree Saint restrained himself and kept as silent as a stone.
He had a feeling that the Spring Master would seek him out on the Western Mountain and battle him fiercely right before his death.

In regards to this, the Scholartree Saint had come up with a plan.
He would not be dragged down with the Spring Master.

However, things never went according to plan.

As he stood beneath the ancient tree, the Scholartree Saint’s expression suddenly changed.

He raised his head and looked upwards; there were small rifts in the space vibrating above him.

He could feel an exciting wave of energy rushing into his soul.

The Ruler’s legacy has appeared!

Without hesitation, the Scholartree Saint jumped.
His body merged into the ancient tree and in the next moment, a violent earthquake started.
The Western Mountain broke apart from the earthquake and numerous thick roots emerged from the earth.
The ancient tree lifted into the sky and disappeared without a trace.

The Ruler’s legacy also signified the appearance of the Ruler’s Great Dao.
The Scholartree Saint was determined to get them.

Moreover, the Scholartree Saint would never leave this opportunity to the Spring Master.

If the appearance of the legacy summoned him, the Spring Master must have experienced the same thing.

Was he going to leave the legacy entirely to the Spring Master?

As such, the ancient tree from the Western Mountain uprooted itself from it and took to the skies!

……

The space next to the ball of light shook violently as a giant shadow stepped out.
Numerous cracks formed as the space tore apart.

The Scholartree Saint from the Western Mountain was here!

He ignored Qin Yu and placed all his attention on the bright ball of light.

Tree branches swayed and his leaves rustled together.

The Ruler’s Great Dao!

This was it, he could not be mistaken about it.
If he managed to grab ahold of it, he could break through and become even stronger.

Boom!

The ancient tree that supported the skies rocked from side to side and its branches stretched out like a net that captured everything within it.

Qin Yu frowned and there was fury in his eyes.
He did not know why the Scholartree Saint was able to come here.
Regardless of that, he could not have the Ruler’s Great Dao!

Stepping forward, an outburst of energy exploded from his body.
His black hair fluttered in the wind as his robe floated along.
Qin Yu let out all his energy and put his full strength into this blow.

He clenched his hand into a fist but just as he was about to attack, a deafening blow shattered space.
The ancient peach tree descended.

“Give it to him.”

The voice was low and deep as it rang right beside Qin Yu’s ear.

Hesitation and reluctance flashed through Qin Yu’s eyes.
Without any choice left, he gave up his attack and turned to bow, “Your disciple, Qin Yu greets Master!” He revealed himself when he decided to attack.
It was no surprise that the Spring Master recognized him.

The Spring Master was silent.
Then, in a soft voice, he said, “Qin Yu, you exceeded my expectations.
I didn’t imagine that you would find my master’s legacy.”

After a brief pause, he continued, “Also, I have to admit that I was selfish when I informed you of the Inextinguishable Flame.”

The Spring Master did not go on to elaborate.
However, when the Scholartree Saint and the Spring Master arrived simultaneously with the appearance of the Ruler’s Great Dao, Qin Yu came to a realization.

Perhaps the Spring Master had been using Qin Yu to find the Ruler’s legacy from the start.
He might have thought that he could prolong his life in this way.

Admittedly, Qin Yu was not happy with the Spring Master’s dishonesty in using him.
But upon second thought, this was the right move by the Spring Master.

This was not the time to bother about all this.
The Ruler’s Great Dao was right before him and the Scholartree Saint desperately wanted it for himself.

Sighing deeply, Qin Yu asked, “Why?”

The Spring Master chuckled lightly, “Don’t worry.
He won’t be able to obtain it…” There was a brief pause.
Then, the Spring Master light-heartedly said, “No wonder Master was so nice to us back then.
It was to make up for today.
She had planned this from the start.

“The Ruler’s Great Dao is real but there isn’t a chance for me or Scholartree Saint to take it.
You will understand soon enough.”
