Yunmeng Lake?
When Qi Lin hazily relayed what happened in his dream to Yu The Great, Si Wenming and the others were stunned.
Yunmeng Lake was located in the Northern Primordial, where the Northern Province and Northern Sea met. It was an extremely mysterious place. This place was harder to find than the Five Great Divine Islands, and rumor had it was being concealed by the Thirty-three Devas’ clouds. Only after entering a dream could one find the entrance, thus it was called Yunmeng Lake.
“She knows astronomy and geography as well as trivial matters. Your Distinguished Self QI Lin, could the Divine Name you speak of be ‘Knower Of All Things’ Bai Ze?” Bo Yi muttered.
Bai Ze was very famous in Primordial World. Back during the Primal Chaos Heavenly Court period, she was given the “Mirror Of All Ghosts, Demons, And Immortals” by the Donghuang Taiyi. This treasure knew all records pertaining to demons and ghosts as well as some weaknesses, turning her into the “God Who Expels All Ghosts.” The phrase “Bai Ze appears, all ghosts flee” was also very famous. Other than this, Bai Ze had a talent known as “Knowing Past And Present.” She knew of many of Primordial World’s mysteries, and when the Primal Chaos Heavenly Court was destroyed, Bai Ze was the first to be killed.
Now, it was already a new Register Of Deities. The Five Emperor’s Divine Names could be reborn, so it would not be strange if Bai Ze had appeared.
But the others were somewhat unable to understand QI Lin’s certainty that Bai Ze had appeared at Yunmeng Lake.
“In Primordial World legend, Yunmeng Lake is a place for Divine Names to cultivate. Many Divine Names and sects wish to go to Yunmeng, but none have found it. Brother Qi Lin is certain that Bai Ze will be at Yunmeng Lake.” Yu The Great sternly asked.
“Since an adept came to me in a dream, I want to try.” Qi Lin thought it over. Rather than blindly attempt to control the floods, it would be better to find an alternative.
“If there truly is an anomaly with this flood, perhaps there actually is a way to quell them with Knower Of All Things Bai Ze’s abilities.” Bo Yi said.
Yu The Great softly sighed, fro she was also aware that controlling the floods would be very difficult. “But the distance from Yunmeng Lake to the Northern Primordial is too far. It would take several months. I need to lead the tribesmen to Zhuolu for refuge. Now that the floods are spreading, there is already no room for delay.”
“Since the adept came to my dream, I will go.” Qi Lin smiled: “Little Sister Wenming, you can rest easy while you lead the tribe to a safe place.”
“Then I shall dispatch Xian Zhen to go together with you, Elder Brother.”
“No need, General Xian Zhen is still responsible for the Ji tribe’s military matters. You also need her and Bo Yi.”
“I’ll go with Big Brother.” Qi QI was impassive.
“Hmph, with the Yunmeng Lake being so interesting, I must go, too.” When Nezha heard that Yunmeng Pond was more legendary than the Five Great Divine Islands, her eyes lit up.
Because Qi Qi, Nezha, and Changxi were accompanying him, Yu The Great knew there was nothing to worry about.
“King Yu, Ji would also like to go to Yunmeng.” The shy Hou Ji suddenly mustered the courage to step forward.
“Ji? You really want to go?”
“En, Yunmeng Lake is a blessed land of the Great Primordial’s Northern Province. Perhaps there are some unique crops and seeds that can help the tribe resolve the food problem.” Hou Ji explained her thinking.
Qi Lin nodded: “That makes sense. Sister Hou Ji shall go with me.”
“Then, please look after Ji, Elder Brother.” Yu The Great apologetically said.
“No need to be so formal between us.”
That day, Qi Lin received various records and legends regarding the Yunmeng Lake from Yu The Great. They prepared well, and Yu The Great specially gave Qi Lin a “Wind And Rain Boat” to use. The Wind And Rain Boat could allow him to travel swiftly through the rain; so long as there was water, he would be like a fish. Furthermore, its magical energy consumption would not be very significant; it was a vessel very suitable for the current weather.
Hengtian Mountain.
The downpour was intense, and a bamboo boat shuttled through the rain.
These past few days, the rainfall was even stronger. The downpour covered Heaven and Earth, and one was already unable to see anything but a few li ahead. Even a Primordial Infant cultivator’s thoughts could hardly reach beyond a hundred meters. The terrifying severity of this rainwater was sufficient to make a Primordial Infant Realm cultivator complain endlessly. Even the average flight magic treasure was unable to bear such rain. However, this bamboo boat sailed through the rain like a fish back in water, completely unaffected.
“Fortunately, we have Siming’s ‘Wind And Rain Boat.’ Otherwise, I fear we would take more than a few months to reach the Northern Province.” Qi Lin sat in the boat and watched the frightening rain. It was like a Divine Name was furious, using the rain to drown the Northern Primordial.
“This kind of weather makes relocation very troublesome.” Qi Lin was a bit worried about Yu The Great’s activity.
Hou Ji lifted her gaze and cautiously looked around. She thought to herself that this man was actually very considerate of King Yu. Qi Lin’s gaze turned to her, and Hou Ji looked away, as if she was shocked by an electricity. She lowered her head to focus on her own work. Qi Lin was aware of her personality and smiled.
After sailing a while, ear-piercing qin music suddenly reached through the downpour, as if bamboo was playing a tune by the wind.
The group on the Wind And Rain Boat were reinvigorated upon hearing this qin music.
“I wonder what Divine Name is able to play such beautiful music under this kind of weather.” Changxi was a bit enchanted.
“This is not the work of a Divine Name, but of a Strange Beast known as the ‘Qin Bug.'” Qi Lin set up the Ten Thousand Beasts Unbounded Banner as he spoke to her.
After learning that this was an ability that a Demon Beast used to lure in cultivators, Changxi was frightened.
Qi Lin looked at the Ten Thousand Beasts Unbounded Banners in his hand. Half of the twelve were already refined, and the remainder required Immemorial Strange Beast souls. A thought occurred to him: “Little Sister, come on. Let’s go listen to this music.”
“Brother, I don’t want to go.” Qi Qi was sprawled out on the ground, completely downcast.
She loathed water. Although they were not in water, this kind of rainy weather was basically no different. Qi Qi was unable to muster any willpower.
“Okay, Nezha, let’s go.” Qi Lin beckoned to little Nezha.
Little Nezha was bored out of her skull, restless and waiting, eager for action.
“The Qin Bug is a Strange Beast that has seized dominance over a mountain in the Eight Desolates, and it already has God Transformation cultivation. It would be better to not provoke it.” Hou Ji timidly warned.
“God Transformation Realm, even better.” Qi Lin was currently Primordial Infant Middle Stage, just a bit off from the next level, but in terms of magical energy, abilities, and tricks, let alone God Transformation Six Paths, he did not fear even Void Return Five Elements cultivators.
His Blood Transformation Divine Blade had a major weakness, and that was it required powerful blood as nourishment regularly, otherwise it would slowly lose its power.
A Strange Beast like the Qin Bug was perfect for a sacrifice to the blade. If needed, the Strange Beasts of these Eight Desolates Mountains could nourish the Blood Transformation Divine Blade, and he could refine their souls into the Ten Thousand Beasts Unbounded Banners. This was simply perfect.
Qi Lin mentally made the calculations, and then he left the Wind And Rain Boat with Nezha.
The two of them used Divine Energy to protect themselves. The downpour was endless, distorting their sense of direction. It seemed the song was everywhere in the world.
Qi Lin shut his eyes. He listened intently and found the source of the music.
The pair flew downwards. In the middle of the flood, they spotted a forest, at the center of which was a cave. Qi Lin and Nezha cautiously entered the cave. The inside of the cave was incomparably sinister and cold, but that beautiful tune from the depths of the cave beckoned the Primordial Spirit to come forth.
The closer he got to the music, the more that Qi Lin found that this qin music was already seizing control of his Primordial Spirit, slightly interfering with his consciousness. He hastily mobilized the Holy Beast’s heart. That Holy Beast heart in his body unleashed green light that covered his body like jadeite.
The qilin stood above all other beasts, and the Qin Bug’s music very quickly lost effect under the Holy Beast’s heart.
He glanced at Nezha. Little Nezha yawned; she was vivacious and carefree.
“Wait outside for me. After I take action, you follow.” Qi Lin said.
Nezha grunted.
After walking about a hundred meters, the cave opened up into a larger chamber. The qin music was already before him.
At the end of the cave was an enormous grotto which had hundreds of entrances, like a spider web covering Hengtian Mountain. Countless skeletons were piled up in the cave like a mountain, and coiled on the top of this mountain of bones was a bizarre Strange Beast. It had a massive serpentine body, but it possessed the sinister head of a feral beast. The beast was like a tiger or lion while the end of its tail had a series of bony rings. That beautiful music emanated precisely from the tail.
Qi Lin walked towards the “Qin Bug,” feigning bewitchment by the music.
This Qin Bug was enormous in size, towering several dozen meters. Its body was like a tree trunk, covered in fish scale-like armor. Seeing Qi Lin approach, the Qin Bug raised its upper body and opened its jaws to devour him.
Blood-light flew forth.
With a bang, a sharp bang fell to the ground.
A terrifying blade of blood-light and evil qi had already appeared in Qi Lin’s hand.
The Qin Bug was already somewhat afraid just smelling the Blood Transformation Divine Blade’s scent. The blade was highly effective in restraining God Transformation Realm, and to be cut by the blade was to die. This Qin Bug avoided disaster at the cost of a tooth. Suddenly, its music changed, turning into a war tune of metallic weapons and cavalry.
Under this qin music, the cave seemed to turn into a desolate battlefield. Qi Lin watched as the skeletons and specters of countless soldiers appear, raising weapons to cut down Qi Lin with mountain-toppling power.
The Blood Transformation Blade rolled, and its bloody blade-wind easily scattered the skeletons. The Qin Bug opened its mouth again and breathed out Demonic Qi.
The turbid Demonic Qi immediately covered Qi Lin.
The Qin Bug coiled its body around QI Lin and used its God Transformation Realm magical energy in an attempt to constrict him to death.
Qi Lin pressed a palm against the scale armor, mixing in the Dual Modes Seal: Light And Heavy to dispel the constriction. The Blood Transformation Divine Blade in his hand was eager to slash, and the Qin Bug, aware of this blade’s power, moved its tail. The music became booming thunder. The average Primordial Infant cultivator would have already had their powers disturbed by the qin music. Qi Lin used the Holy Beast’s heart to resist its music. Then, the Blood Transformation Divine Blade in his had unleashed a bright red wind.
The Qin Bug hastily fled. The mountain of bones collapsed, but the Blood Transformation Divine Blade’s malicious blade-qi followed like a shadow.
Seeing that it was unable to escape, the Qin Bug shrieked. Wrapping itself in its scale armor, it gathered magical energy. The Blood Transformation Divine Blade struck the scales but was surprisingly unable to breach.
Qi Lin raised his brow. This Qin Bug was actually very powerful, for it was able to block the Blood Transformation Divine Blade
This was better. A powerful Strange Beast’s soul was worth refining into the Ten Thousand Beasts Unbounded Banner.
Qi Lin slashed several times. The Qin Bug used its scale armor to defend each time, but cracks were already appearing in the armor. Although the Blood Transformation Divine Blade was not completely under Qi Lin’s control and far from the terrifying level Yu Yuan displayed, it was an Approaching Heaven magic treasure after all. How could the Qin Bug survive such a relentless assault.
Weight Of Mount Tai, Jian Destroys Six Kingdoms.
Qi Lin leapt forth and slashed, splitting the scales open, producing a wound deep enough to show bone.
The Qin Bug screamed in pain, the tune of its tail becoming even more urgent.
Qi Lin found this strange. This qin music was clearly ineffective against him, so doing this was simply wasting its own magical energy. Seeing it in its death throes, Qi Lin did not show mercy. He prepared to use the Blood Transformation Divine Blade to deliver the finishing blow and seize the inner core.
“Go.”
The Blood Transformation Divine Blade soared through the air, and a fatal blood-line left a breathtaking trail in the air. Countless flower buds that blossomed from absorbing fresh blood now bloomed in the blood-line. The saber-light hurtled towards the Qin Bug’s head.
“Bang.”
A golden brick slammed into the Blood Transformation Divine Blade. The two magic treasures collided with an enormous noise, repelling the blade.
“Gold Brick?”
Qi Lin was stunned, for he recognized this magic treasure.
He turned back to see that Nezha had been bewitched. Her eyes were completely red, producing two streams of bloody tears as she grew three heads and six arms.
“Carve flesh for mother, scrape bones for father, kill, kill, kill!!”

Let’s face it, she doesn’t come across as having strong mental debuff resistance…
Very true
