Qin Yu made up his mind. But some matters were better understood ahead of time.

He looked at Ruan Jing. It was clear that out of the four people here, he was the one that liked to speak the most.

Those that spoke well liked to ask questions of others. And they often knew more things than others.

“Ruan Jing, I want to ask you something.”

Ruan Jing was overjoyed. “Brother Qin, please ask. As long as I know, I will truthfully answer you!”

“Great.” Qin Yu nodded, “The master of Peach Blossom Spring, has he grasped the Space Laws?”

Ah…

This question seemed to be different from what he expected. Ruan Jing was stunned for a moment, suddenly thinking that the situation was devolving.

Peach Blossom Spring…Qin Yu was a backwater cultivator, so how would he know about Peach Blossom Spring? And if he was asking such a question now, it was clear what his intent was.

But since Qin Yu asked this question, he couldn’t not answer. He swept his eyes over Rice Paper, Zhou Lei, and Soaring Sky before giving up on any idea of speaking nonsense. The risks were too great and a single accident could cost him his life.

“Cough…about this, the Peach Blossom Spring Master is a True Saint who has already crossed the sea and arrived at the other shore. He has been ignoring mortal affairs for a long time and has closed himself up in Peach Blossom Spring to comprehend the Heavenly Dao…Space Laws, as an exalted amongst Saints, he should have grasped them…”

Qin Yu furrowed his eyebrows, “He should have?”

This uncertain answer wasn’t one he would easily believe.

Zhou Lei said, “I can answer Brother Qin’s question. The Peach Blossom Spring Master’s cultivation pierces the skies and he has already reached the peak of the True Saint realm. He has long since perceived the Space Laws.”

Qin Yu’s eyes brightened, “Really?”

Zhou Lei nodded, “It is absolutely true.”

Then that was great!

Since the Peach Blossom Spring Master had grasped the Space Laws, there was little chance that he would try to take advantage of him. His security would naturally be much higher.

Crossing the sea…reaching the other shore…

This was probably some cultivation stage involving the Saint’s path. According to what they said, the Peach Blossom Spring Master was extremely strong. In other words, as long as he entered Peach Blossom Spring, the number of people that dared to still have thoughts about him would be reduced to the smallest amount possible.

But there was never a lack of lunatics in the world. As long as there were enough benefits, anyone would be willing to do anything. After understanding how precious the Space Laws were, Qin Yu wasn’t naïve to the point where he thought he could grasp a thigh and be free of all worries.

If he wanted to live a long and peaceful life, he needed to be more discreet in the future and not give others a chance to move against him.

But he was thinking a bit too far into the future.

Qin Yu restrained his thoughts. “You should have all guessed it by now, so I won’t conceal it. Is there any chance I can enter Peach Blossom Spring?”

Zhou Lei said, “There’s no problem at all. If Brother Qin is willing to join Peach Blossom Spring, I can recommend you.” He sighed a bit and said, “This can be considered a secret, so while you may know, don’t tell anyone else. My Thunder Dominion’s Imperial Master and the Peach Blossom Spring Master are good friends of many years. The reason I entered the Endless Sea this time is related to Peach Blossom Spring.”

There were some matters that didn’t need to be explained clearly. With just a small reminder, everyone could figure it out on their own.

Thunder Dominion rarely meddled in external affairs, and their cultivators almost never went out. After confirming Zhou Lei’s identity, everyone muttered to themselves, unable to guess why Thunder Dominion suddenly decided to intervene in this matter.

After all, a spirit body might be precious, but countless treasures had appeared throughout the years, and many of them were far more precious than a spirit body. There were many treasures that had spurred a brutal battle between Saints, but they had never heard of Thunder Dominion showing any interest.

Now, there seemed to be an answer. The Thunder Dominion Imperial Master was on good terms with the Peach Blossom Spring Master. Then, it was likely that Zhou Lei came here because of Peach Blossom Spring.

As for why the Peach Blossom Spring Master didn’t personally take action, he must have his reasons. It wasn’t something that a mere group of junior cultivators could hope to guess.

In fact, just like what Zhou Lei said before, even if they knew about this it was better if they didn’t talk about it.

This was something that involved a peak True Saint who had reached the other shore. A minor point that seemed trivial had the possibility of stirring up a great unrest. Although they were the disciples of Saints, Saints still had their differences.

Some of them were crossing the sea. Although they were Saints, they were only considered Half-Saints. As for those that arrived at the other shore, they condensed their Great Dao and became True Saints. There were even some people who had walked a long way on the path of a True Saint, even reaching the peak.

Without a doubt, the Peach Blossom Spring Master was one of the most formidable existences amongst Saints!

Qin Yu smiled and said, “Then I’ll have to trouble Brother Zhou.”

“It’s nothing.” Zhou Lei nodded, “After leaving this place, I will immediately send out a signal. A cultivator from Peach Blossom Spring should soon arrive at the Endless Sea.”

With the topic coming this far, it was time to leave. Although Qin Yu urgently wanted to become a member of Peach Blossom Spring, the conditions of the four cultivators in front of him were far too poor.

If they left like this and somehow died in the Endless Sea, there would surely be trouble.

Qin Yu said, “You should all heal your wounds first. Once you’ve recovered, we will leave.”

The four relaxed. It was at this moment that they knew they were truly safe. As for why Qin Yu was confident enough to let them recover first, the truth was simple. Qin Yu still had the source of fire for this great furnace in his hands.

If anyone dared to try and harm him, let alone whether they were his match or not, even if all four tried to suppress him together, all he had to do was blow up the source of fire and everyone would be done for.

No one was willing to do something so stupid!

Standing in an impregnable position, Qin Yu was certainly calm. Unfortunately, there were still some people that hadn’t figured this out and could only be eliminated…for instance, Soul Hook who had died here, and was doomed to have nobody know how or when he died.

Ignoring the four people that tried their best to heal themselves, Qin Yu turned and arrived at Yun Shi’s side. Her aura had completely vanished, and all that remained was her shell of a body.

There was a complex look in his eyes. Although strictly speaking, she came from the same source as the spirit body in the realm within a realm, in the end she had been implicated by him.

If Yun Shi hadn’t come to the Endless Sea and met Qin Yu, perhaps she wouldn’t have met such a fate.

For better or worse, they had known each other for a while. And Qin Yu had been able to smoothly suppress the spirit body partly due to Yun Shi. He couldn’t just watch as her corpse lay here.

He thought for a moment and bent over to pick her up. But at this time his eyebrows arched up and he revealed a look of surprise.

He called out to Old Turtle who was holding the soul of the spirit body and happily eating, and had him take out some pure soul force. Although it hurt a bit, Old Turtle knew that everything he had now was thanks to Qin Yu, so he obediently agreed.

He thrust the soul force in between Yun Shi’s eyebrows and then let out a breath. Everything that happened from here on out would depend on her own fate.

In the remaining time, Qin Yu began to study how to get out of this furnace. He and the other cultivators had been dragged into here when the realm within a realm shattered.

When it came to how to leave, he wasn’t sure. But he wasn’t panicked either, because he held the source of fire for this great furnace.

His intuition told him that this iron lump wasn’t as simple as a source of fire. If he held onto it, leaving wouldn’t be difficult.

Facts proved that Qin Yu was right. With a deep cry, deep crimson markings started to appear on the surface of the quiet great furnace.

A deep rich light emanated outwards, illuminating everyone’s faces and awakening them from their meditation.

Qin Yu grasped the iron lump and crimson energy flowed out from it, proliferating across his body like a suit of armor.

It was majestic and cold!

In truth, this was beyond Qin Yu’s expectations. He originally just wanted to try using the iron lump to communicate with the great furnace. He never thought it would be like this.

As he felt the shocked gazes falling on him, he flipped his hand and put the iron lump away. The crimson battle armor vanished and the great furnace fell quiet again.

“Don’t worry about it. Just keep recovering.”

Without much explanation, even if the four cultivators were curious, they didn’t dare to ask anything else.

But none of them were blind. In addition to what they sensed, how could they not know that Qin Yu had picked up a treasure.

That’s right, it was a genuine picking up. If the spirit body hadn’t dragged them here, they never would have sensed this great furnace.

Now, it was Qin Yu’s!

If they said they weren’t jealous, that would be a lie. That brief flash of aura, although it hadn’t truly erupted, had been undoubtedly terrifying.

How could he have such a great life!

Could this be the difference between protagonist and supporting characters that is often played out in novels? Are we the supporting characters here?

At this moment, even the calmest and most mentally stable Soaring Sky couldn’t help but reveal a complex look in his eyes.

As cultivators who had become the disciples of Saints and entered the Land of Disorder today to compete for the spirit body, it wasn’t an exaggeration to call them all outstanding elites.

It had always been others who had cast eyes full of envy and inferiority at them, so how could they feel this way about others? But now when they faced Qin Yu, they had no choice but to acknowledge the disparity between them.

It wasn’t just luck…

Before, Qin Yu had sensed something was wrong so he rushed into the dark nothingness to hide. If it was any of them, would they have been able to do that?

Leaving that aside for the time being, there was also the moment when Yun Shi suddenly attacked Qin Yu. Qin Yu had closed his eyes and opened them, and by that time he had suppressed the spirit body.

Were things really as simple as they appeared on the surface? The realm within a realm’s spirit body was able to lay out such a grand game and even conceal itself from Saints. Even in its weakened condition, it wasn’t easy to deal with.

Even without the existence of the Space Laws, just these two points alone were enough to indicate Qin Yu’s immense strength.

So when they discovered that Qin Yu had no background, they had all tried to drag him into their own Saint-level influences.

But Qin Yu was indeed worthy of being Qin Yu. Even if he chose a thigh, he had to choose the thickest and strongest one.

The Peach Blossom Spring Master had lived since time immemorial. He was widely recognized as being a powerful existence only second to a Ruler.

However, they all had to admit that with what Qin Yu had displayed so far, he indeed had the qualifications to be chosen to enter Peach Blossom Spring.

This was strength!

They had no choice but to accept it.

As they were filled with emotion, the four cultivators ended their meditation one after another. It was impossible for them to fully recover. When Yun Shi grabbed their necks and sucked them, it wasn’t just blood she drank.

But for better or worse, they had recovered a great deal. They would be fine as long as there were no problems.

Qin Yu picked up Yun Shi with one hand. Without further delay, he stretched out a hand and shook it. In the next moment, everyone felt space warp around them.
