Chapter 1434: Master’s Aura

The five Darkness True Saints stood around the palace of Transcendent Peak. A thick layer of darkness emanated before them and their hearts were filled with killing intent. Yet, they could not help being surprised and even in slight admiration of Qin Yu.

The ninth disciple of the Peach Garden, Qin Yu, was truly strong. Despite having five True Saints standing before him with the Eye of Eternal Night, he could not be killed directly. This was shocking and unbelievable.

This was exactly what was happening before them and the five Saints were in admiration and also shock.

Qin Yu must only be a small cry away from having the Ruler realm. If they were not careful enough, the trap they set up today might bite them in the back. This could be their grave.

Thankfully, this pitiful and scary scenario would not happen. No matter how strong Qin Yu was, he was being suppressed. The five Saints expected some resistance from him and they assumed that it would only be a matter of time before he was killed.

They had already asked the Eye of Eternal Night and gotten their answer from His Excellency.

However, things in this world were not always what they seemed to be. This was especially so for a thick layer of darkness that could not be seen.

As such, the five Saints did not think that this would happen.

Qin Yu was not so strong that he was only a small step away from being a Ruler. On the other hand, he was far more relaxed than they thought.

He did not seem bitter nor was he struggling desperately. The crushing pressure that came from all directions did not seem to affect him at all and it disappeared in the darkness before him.

He was similar to them!

Qin Yu frowned and cupped his hands together, “Eye of Eternal Night. Although you helped me today, I have to ask you the reason why. Don’t take it as good will to answer me. I have to understand this.”

From the thick blanket of darkness, a cold but calm voice rang, “You have the aura of Master on you.”

Honestly speaking, Qin Yu had guessed many possibilities. One of them included how he had extraordinary luck and must have obtained a valuable treasure. Now, he knew that it was pointless to daydream. All he did was waste his time.

Hm? Wait, was the Eye of Eternal Night suggesting that I am possibly a reincarnation of his master? By now, Qin Yu knew that reincarnations were real.

As though it sensed his thoughts, the Eye of Eternal Night coldly said, “You are not my Master.”

Qin Yu coughed lightly and tried to maintain a neutral expression. He asked, “Then what are you talking about? And, who is your master?”

“My master is still alive in this world and he is so powerful, he transcends all other beings.” There was a hint of passion in his voice.

Qin Yu’s lips twitched. He had a few guesses before, and today, he proved his point another time.

For how strong the Eye of Eternal Night was, his master must be even more powerful. Coincidentally, there was a person meeting that exact description backing up Qin Yu.

By pure elimination, the Eye of Eternal Night must be referring to her…That woman was related to the West Desolate!

This could also explain why the enraged Eye of Eternal Night left voluntarily in the East Sea in the past. From the start, he had sensed the aura of that woman on Qin Yu.

“Do not disrespect my master!”

The shout came from the darkness and a sinister aura locked onto Qin Yu.

Qin Yu’s heart jumped. Despite knowing how strong the Eye of Eternal Night was, after feeling the aura for himself, he realized he was far scarier than what he imagined.

However, Qin Yu did not reveal any fear on his face and he lightly said, “I am very respectful to your master. You don’t have to worry about that.”

Goodness, where did this master and servant pair come from? He could also guess Qin Yu’s thoughts at a glance!

Alright, Qin Yu had to admit that he was a little jealous. If he had this ability, things would have been much easier for him.

“Hmmph!” The Eye of Eternal Night scoffed coldly and his eyes turned unfriendly. Qin Yu’s lips twitched. This brat must have sensed something else again. Was he looking down on me?

Damn it, how dare he read my thoughts? This is too much…no, I must learn it too, definitely!

He tried to maintain calm and distract himself from these thoughts. He continued, “Eye of Eternal Night, although you have shown me mercy many times before, I have to verify this.”

There was a moment of silence in the darkness before the voice rang again, “Can you call Master’s consciousness?” The voice was emotional and there was some disbelief in it.

The disbelief was very little but Qin Yu captured it. His first thought was that the Eye of Eternal Night was not going to be welcomed.

Although the Eye of Eternal Night called her master, it was obvious that she did not hold him in high importance. He did not even know how to communicate with her.

Qin Yu smirked and he felt that he finally had the upper hand. Coughing lightly, he provoked, “What else? Since you called her your master, you have to verify her identity. Don’t worry, this is very simple; I have done it many times before.”

Humph, you dared to yell at me. I will definitely let you know the consequences of being a show off.

The Eye of Eternal Night grunted slightly, seemingly catching on to what Qin Yu purposely wanted to tell him via the strong wave of consciousness.

He finally closed his eyes and Qin Yu raised his hands. With a thought, an illusion appeared above his head. It was bright and dazzling.

At that point, Qin Yu was focused on calling the Ruler and he did not sense that at the same time as the Sun Moon Illusion appeared, darkness covered him. Suddenly, he jumped as though he caught sight of something terrifying.

He threw the bait out and he could not reveal his feelings. Otherwise, he would be mocked for acting so obnoxiously.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths…right as Qin Yu was feeling anxious, a very impatient voice came, “You are pretty useless aren’t you?”

Qin Yu’s lips twitched. Before he could say anything, a figure appeared in front of him and dropped to its knees, “Blacky greets Master!”

His voice was choked with tears and he was overwhelmed by emotion. This was the first time Qin Yu witnessed someone being so emotional with just a single sentence.

At the same time, he heaved a sigh of relief. Since the Eye of Eternal Night was a subordinate of the Ruler, his life would be much easier.

He thought of the five True Saints who were burning with murderous intent. Qin Yu could not help taking a moment to feel sorry for them. With this strong backing, it would be easy for him to kill them.

The mission of killing Saints was done and it was completed in a much better way than he thought. Pfft…things changed before he could make plans for it!

“Blacky, why are you here?” A silhouette started to form amidst the Sun Moon illusion.

Qin Yu could not help feeling anxious for the Eye of Eternal Night. One of the most powerful existences in the World of Darkness had such an awkward name. It would be an embarrassment for anyone to forget his name.

The Eye of Eternal Night was very touched. It was his ultimate honor to be remembered. He respectfully said, “After the great calamity back then, Master, you went missing. I fell into the hands of the West Desolate and was sent to the southwest fragmented area because of my abilities…I thought I would never see you again in this life so I didn’t expect to meet you again!”

The cold and hostile tone from earlier was no longer there and he seemed like a lost black dog who was so excited to meet his master again.

“Master, please allow me to follow you by your side in the future. I will swear on my soul to serve you!”

Qin Yu cringed at his passionate words. The Eye of Eternal Night must have been a blindly loyal disciple of that woman in the past.

As though he sensed Qin Yu’s thoughts, the Eye of Eternal Night’s body swivelled around and he gave Qin Yu a deathly glare. However, something jumped into his head and he quickly looked down again. “Master, he…he…”

“Like you thought, I am old and my foresight isn’t as good. So I settled.” She made a simple comment that showed that she was not interested in explaining further. She calmly said, “Since you are here, then I won’t have to wipe his ass anymore.”

She yawned lazily and turned to leave. Suddenly, a thought jumped into her mind and she said, “Qin Yu will be helping me with something soon. You should have a way to bring him into the West Desolate safely right?”

The Eye of Eternal Night was so agitated his body started to shake from excitement. He exclaimed, “Don’t worry Master, I will make sure all your wishes come true!”

“Very good, then I will go now.” With that, she turned and left.

Woosh woosh –

After a few moments, the Sun Moon illusion disappeared.

Qin Yu’s mouth twitched. The Ruler really did not have a big heart.

“Hmph!…Although you are…but for Master, you better be respectful to her!” The Eye of Eternal Night frowned and his tone turned hostile again as he warned Qin Yu.

Mm, Qin Yu could confirm his thoughts.

He pondered for a moment. Then, he suddenly said, “Eye of Eternal Night, do not examine my thoughts without my permission in the future!”

Qin Yu was met with silence, but just when he thought his test was a failure and that their relationship would be awkward, the Eye of Eternal Night’s body stiffened and he bowed, “…Yes!”

His voice was filled with hate and unwillingness. Yet, Qin Yu had unexpectedly succeeded and he felt a moment of excitement and fear.

He thought of the conversation between the Eye of Eternal Night and that woman. His words formed at his mouth, “Just now…”

The Eye of Eternal Night cut him short, “I will not explain what Master did not.”

Qin Yu snorted and made a ‘hmph’ sound before saying, “I said that you are not allowed to read my thoughts without my permission!”

The Eye of Eternal Night jumped and he reluctantly said, “That comes into effect from now onwards.”

Qin Yu glanced at him. Although he did not get the information he wanted, he was glad to have obtained a guarantee of protection.

Also, Qin Yu could roughly grasp his own position through the interaction with the Eye of Eternal Night.

He had the upper hand!

“You shall answer my questions. It doesn’t involve the Ruler but it is related to my future tasks. Don’t hold back.”

The Eye of Eternal Night simply replied, “I will judge according to the situation.”

Qin Yu ignored his useless struggles. He raised his index finger, “The first question. What is the relationship between the World of Darkness and the West Desolate? What is the background of its establishment?”

The Eye of Eternal Night glanced at Qin Yu and said, “The West Desolate has never given up on wanting the southwest fragmented area. The only pathway to enter it is in the West Desolate and this is a widely-known fact.

“The pathway to enter the southwest fragmented area is restricted for True Saints and beyond. Hence, the World of Darkness was created as a temporary measure for the strong to prepare against the unexpected.”

Qin Yu frowned, “Is that all?”

The Eye of Eternal Night replied, “The World of Darkness is a frontline and the West Desolate has constantly been using it to investigate how to transform the pathway to allow True Saints and beyond to go through it. However, this has been really difficult and not much progress has been made in this area.”

Qin Yu’s heart trembled. Thank goodness that the West Desolate had not been successful. If True Saints could come to the Vast Brightness World, they would annihilate all the superpowers in it. Not to mention Half-Kings who were stronger than True Saints, and even stronger existences beyond them!

His mind spun quickly and Qin Yu asked, “What is a Half-King?”

Eye of Eternal Night frowned, “Your mission involves a Half-King?”

Qin Yu dismissed him, “Reply to my question!”

There was a moment of silence before the Eye of Eternal Night replied, “The realm of the King is above a True Saint and is the most powerful existence in the West Desolate…when it comes to them, you better not ask about much above them!”

Hiss –

What kind of requirement was that? He had to be extra careful in the future!

Qin Yu held up three fingers, “My last question…wait, never mind. I will ask you again when I need the answer next time.”

What kind of a strategy was that?

The Eye of Eternal Night’s breathing grew heavier. He gritted his teeth, “Since there is nothing else, let’s discuss how you are going to enter the World of Darkness.”

Qin Yu’s eyebrows were raised and he asked, “What do I need to enter the World of Darkness?”

The Eye of Eternal Night replied, “I told you before, there is only one pathway linking here to the Desolate Area. The other side is within the West Desolate and that place is the World of Darkness. If you want to enter the Desolate Area to complete the mission Master gave you, you can only go via this path.”

Qin Yu questioned, “Don’t you know my relationship with the West Desolate? If I have to enter the Desolate Area through the West Desolate, I would rather consider myself dead.”

The Eye of Eternal Night lightly answered, “You can just change your appearance and aura.”

Qin Yu glanced at him. This guy knows about me, he must have been observing me since a while back already.

He rubbed his chin and scoffed, “I can only deceive True Saints and any being below them. I am not too sure of stronger opponents. The West Desolate will definitely have some Half-Kings. Unless, the pathway is not guarded by strong men from the West Desolate.”

The Eye of Eternal Night confirmed, “Yes, there is a Half-King guarding it. But as long as you have one thing, it should not be a problem to hide your identity.”

Qin Yu’s eyes brightened and he asked, “What is the thing?”

If he could hide his appearance and aura in front of a cultivator in the King realm, he would have a much easier time for his future missions with a greater guarantee for his security.

After all, according to that woman, he had to go into the West Desolate for his next mission. Once again, his intuition was right. He could not stay in the Vast Brightness World much longer.

The Desolate Area…

He guessed that this was a vast world with numerous strong opponents…and limitless opportunities!

Nervousness came to him naturally and he was scratching his head over the difficulty of the mission. However, deep within him was eagerness.

In the Vast Brightness World, there were numerous strong Saints fighting over the empty seat of a Ruler. It was a hot seat that did not need more people fighting over it. There might be other opportunities waiting for him elsewhere!

Furthermore, the Mysterious Clan was also in the West Desolate…although so many years had passed by, Qin Yu had never revealed his strong desire to know his own identity. With the clue that he discovered, he had to investigate it to the end.

Otherwise, it would be truly pathetic to live if he did not know where he came from.
