Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Desolate World, Qin Nation.

Capital, Xianyang!

Emperor Qin stood by the wall at the borders and he overlooked the vast capital. This was his capital and people. The wind blew across Emperor Qin’s long robe. He closed his eyes and there was a contented look on his face.

The sound of footsteps came from behind him. National Advisor Chen She walked towards him and bowed, “Your Majesty, you were looking for me?”

“Mm.” Emperor Qin nodded and he knocked on the wall, “National Advisor, what do you think of my Qin Nation?” ƒ𝑟e𝘦we𝑏n𝑜𝚟𝙚Ɩ. 𝒄𝚘𝐦

Theft is never good, try looking at .

National Advisor answered, “Your Majesty is majestic and mighty, you are an outstanding emperor, and Qin Nation is powerful and unrivaled in the world.”

Emperor Qin said, “That’s right, I want to unite the eight desolate regions and unify the entire world. I have always been considering it but I hesitated to take action. Otherwise, I would have planted my royal flag in the Desolate World already.”

“But…”

“National Advisor, don’t worry. There is change from White Jade Capital. Although I do not know the actual reason for the change, it does not concern the Qin Nation. I need only a short period of time before my Qin Nation will conquer the eight desolate regions and take over the land! By then, with the citizens aligned with me, I will create a brilliant future for the Qin Nation!”

National Advisor sucked in a deep breath of air. He bowed, “I am willing to aid Your Majesty!”

“Hahaha, alright. Ruler and subjects are aligned and we will create a new world!” Emperor Qin laughed heartily.

On that day, the Qin Nation started an undeclared war. Troops marched out in eight directions and attacked the other seven desolate regions!

It sent a shockwave throughout the world.

Aside from the southwest fragmented area, the other nations of the Desolate Area voiced their disapproval at the Qin Nation for destroying the peace in the Desolate World. At the same time, they gathered their strength and proceeded to counterattack the Qin Nation. The war against the barbarians disappeared and the barbarians’ predicament resolved itself in an instant.

However, the various nations of the desolate regions ended up disappointed. Their citizens struggled against the onslaught from Great Qin. When the Qin Nation army pointed their swords against them, there was no need for a fight as the various cities surrendered automatically. The reason why was simple. The Central Desolate Region where Emperor Qin was, was always rumored to be the sacred cultivation grounds.

The rest of the desolate region men had been yearning for it. Now that Great Qin declared war and attacked the rest of the desolate regions, Qin Nation would unite the world and they would all become citizens of it. Therefore, they would naturally assume the rights to enter the Central Desolate Divine Area.

Aside from that, Qin Nation displayed absolute strength in battles and shocked the various nations. Even though these nations knew that Qin Nation was strong and they were the strongest among all the nations, Qin Nation had many elite soldiers who were unrivaled. Despite the all out effort from the various nations, they suffered defeats in the major battles.

The North, South, East and West Desolate Regions acted as the alliance leaders in asking for help from White Jade Capital. After all, the reason why the Desolate World could have eight desolate regions was because of White Jade Capital’s influence.

However, the outcome did not match up to their expectations. Qin Nation were stubborn and although the great generals of the army were respectful towards the envoy from White Jade Capital, they did not back off and they were determined in their stance not to retreat. At the same time, Emperor Qin stationed himself in Xianyang and he was facing a projection from Ninth Dao Master that had descended.

“Emperor Qin, you have broken the deal you made with me before.” Ninth Dao Master spoke slowly. As his voice echoed through the air, shockwaves rolled out in the space around him. It seemed like calm waves, but each one of them harbored terrifying power. The moment they were released, they would flatten the entirety of Xianyang.

Even though Emperor Qin was here, he would only be able to watch the disaster unfold with his eyes wide open. He would not be able to stop it. This was the power of an elite Dao Master; it was enough to compare to an ignited Incense Great Dao cultivator.

Emperor Qin remained calm as he faced the projection of Ninth Dao Master, “Dao Master, if you had not interfered, the Desolate World would have been united many years ago. I have already tolerated it for many years and I do not want to tolerate it any longer. You can take action and destroy Xianyang but I guarantee you that you will pay a similar price.

He pointed to the skies above his head, “Above Thirteenth Floor lies White Jade Capital; it is a place that is rumored to be impossible to go to. However, it is not difficult for me to head there. Perhaps I should attack White Jade Capital to let people know that regardless of who my enemy is, they will not have a good ending!”

He was unyielding and harsh. There was a determined look in his eyes that showed he was not going to back down. This was his best chance right now and if he missed it, he would never be able to unite the Desolate World and become an invincible Great Qin.

Ninth Dao Master’s projection instantly fell silent. Occasionally, there would be the sound of water flowing through the silent but moving space. At this moment, many citizens of Qin Nation were inspired and they cheered for the might of their military. They were also filled with pride at the fact that they were about to unite the world. However, they did not know that they were standing at the edge of a cliff right now and they might all be turned to ashes the next moment.

“Emperor Qin, I will make you pay for this in the future.” Ninth Dao Master’s voice was calm. He turned around and his projection vanished. The vibrating space returned to a peaceful state like before. At this moment, he could not fight against Emperor Qin. Otherwise, the ninth White Jade Capital would be in deep trouble. The other eight White Jade Capitals would be rejoicing at its demise.

“Congratulations Your Majesty!” The national advisor stepped forward. He bowed respectfully although his face was pale. This was the first time that he had faced a power as formidable as a Dao Master. He was as powerful as the universe and the national advisor could not sense the limits of his strength. Chen She knew clearly that everyone aside from Emperor Qin in Xianyang would have been killed had the Dao Master decided to take action.

Thankfully, this disaster had not happened. Emperor Qin had correctly judged that White Jade Capital would back down. This was also his greatest opportunity to attack the seven nations and unite the entire Desolate World! Then, Great Qin would possess vast lands and His Majesty would become stronger than ever!

Emperor Qin smiled and commanded in a loud voice, “All troops are to attack the seven nations. The first to conquer the capital of a nation will be granted the title of king!”

“Yes!” The national advisor bowed.

This day, the knells of seven nations were struck simultaneously. People in the capitals of these nations were anxious. The royals and those in power in each nation knew very well that they were no match for the might of the Qin Nation. That’s right, like the Blood Moon of the West Desolate, even though each nation had their own hidden cards, they could not use them.

Because Emperor Qin had not taken action!

With how powerful Emperor Qin was, he would easily suppress anyone within the King realm. If they really enraged him, all of them would die. The knells had already sounded and from how fast the Qin army moved, it was only a matter of time before Great Qin would unite the Desolate Area.

In the Imperial Palace of Xianyang.

Emperor Qin sat on a throne with a calm look in his eyes. His eyes seemed like a boundless lake that could take in all creatures of the world.

“Qin Yu, I have a premonition. We will soon have a battle that will decide our life and death.

“Now, I am going to prepare myself to welcome you in my strongest state…I hope that you will not be too weak and disappoint me.”

This time, he had taken action against the seven nations without any forewarning. Firstly, it had truly been an opportunity that the Qin Nation had awaited for a long time and he could not miss out on it. Secondly, Emperor Qin felt a powerful threat in some inexplicable way.

Qin Yu, I will wait in Xianyang for you!
