Stellar Transformation-Chapter 104 - 5 episodes, 7 - s, Soul Search
At this moment, Qin Yu had no idea that a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Demon Cultivator was about to search his own area; his attention was completely focused inside his mind.
The blazing green qi stream forcefully rushed into the region of Soul Power.
Water has no constant shape, and this ethereal Soul Power was the same; although it was disturbed, it could naturally return to calm over time, though this recovery to calmness also wasn’t short.
In his mind.
Compared to the enormous Soul Power, at the core of the Soul Power—the disc that emitted writhing electric snakes—was a person’s true core ’soul’! The relationship between the soul and Soul Power was like that between the sun and sunlight.
The soul was the entity itself. Qin Yu’s current cultivation was just some understanding of the Soul Power, but he had not touched the true fundamental soul at all.
The soul was a forbidden zone that Cultivators could not touch.
"What exactly is that blazing green qi stream emitted by the ’Meteor Tear’?" Qin Yu’s attention was completely focused on that suddenly appearing green qi stream. The blazing green qi stream, unimpeded by anything, passed through the region of Soul Power and flew directly towards the soul.
The region of Soul Power was like a tumultuous sea, and in the middle of this riotous Soul Power sea was a disc-like small island, which was the soul!
When the green qi stream flew to the central disc-shaped island, the soul directly absorbed the green qi stream, and simultaneously, the disc emanating writhing electric snakes violently disturbed its colorful radiance. The green light surged suddenly, and in a moment, it returned to its previous appearance.
In that instant, a green light flashed around the enormous soul, and all the Soul Power seemed to have transformed once, and Qin Yu himself also underwent an extremely significant change.
"What a wonderful feeling."
Qin Yu’s eyes suddenly opened wide, and a sharp light shot out from them. Mind Power, Control Power! At this moment, Qin Yu’s control through Mind Power was much stronger than before. This type of control through Mind Power had many uses, such as controlling the operation of True Essence Power within the body.
The stronger this control power, the more obedient Qin Yu’s True Essence Power became. In the future, when attacking, the control would also become more precise.
"However, it seems even more difficult to control the Soul Power now." When Qin Yu tried to control the Soul Power again, he found that the Soul Power had also changed. If the past Soul Power was an untrained scholar, now it was a strong, powerful man, undergoing an indescribable change and thus became much more difficult to control.
With the sudden increase in Qin Yu’s soul control power, he still could only control one-tenth of the Soul Power.
As the control power increased, Soul Power also transformed, yet Qin Yu could still only control one-tenth of the Soul Power—the same one-tenth; What did this imply? Although Qin Yu was puzzled, he couldn’t understand at all because neither the soul control power nor the essence of the soul should be able to improve suddenly by nature.
Control power needs to be tried and controlled time and time again, the number of attempts increasing, it would very slowly increase. As for Soul Power, as the cultivation levels increased, the transformation of the soul would gradually improve the Soul Power.
Just now, in that instant, Qin Yu’s control power and Soul Power both advanced a step, which was absolutely impossible for a Cultivator, and all of this was due to a blazing green qi stream from the ’Meteor Tear’.
"Meteor Tear, what exactly is it?" Qin Yu became even more curious about the Meteor Tear that had fused into his body.
Qin Yu also tried to spread his Soul Power outward. The moment he did, he was shocked to find a Nascent Soul Middle Stage expert flying right above him, and this expert was also probing with his Spiritual Sense.
When the Spiritual Sense swept across Qin Yu, it didn’t find anything, and when Qin Yu spread out his Spiritual Sense, the other person didn’t feel it at all.
The two levels of Spiritual Sense, with the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Demon Cultivator’s Spiritual Sense being slightly weaker than Qin Yu’s, couldn’t touch or detect Qin Yu’s Spiritual Sense. As for the principles behind this, Qin Yu didn’t understand at all; it was indeed very profound.
Qin Yu only knew the outcome: strong Spiritual Sense could detect weak Spiritual Sense, while weak Spiritual Sense couldn’t detect strong Spiritual Sense.
After a moment, Qin Yu burst out from beneath the coral like lightning. His condition was unprecedentedly good at this moment; the effects of ’Meteor Escape’ had completely disappeared, and now Qin Yu had also learned the method of ’Soul Search’.
"Little Black is in the northwest, and also quite far away," Qin Yu said with his eyes closed, clearly sensing Little Black’s presence.
From a young age, Little Black and Qin Yu had developed a special sense that allowed them to feel each other’s presence.
Qin Yu’s eyes narrowed slightly as he quickly pondered the situation in his mind. "Looking at the current situation, it seems that Sang Mo has put out a Bounty Order because of his son’s death. And these Undersea Demon Cultivators seem to be able to easily tell that I am not a Demon Cultivator, even those weaker than me!"
Qin Yu still remembered when he and Little Black first sneaked into the deep sea, and the scene of the weaker Demon Beasts fleeing at the sight of Qin Yu.
"These Demon Cultivators can identify me, and coupled with the Bounty Order, at this rate, moving within this Undersea Demon Cultivator World is extremely difficult. Moreover, I know nothing about this world. Right now, the most important thing is to stealthily kill a Demon Cultivator and use the Soul Search method to understand what this Undersea Demon Cultivator World is really about."
Qin Yu was very clear that in a strange environment, one must be careful, then careful, and then careful again.
Qin Yu spread out his Spiritual Sense, feeling very confident in his own Spiritual Sense; since even the Spiritual Sense of a Nascent Soul Middle Stage expert hadn’t detected him, one could imagine how formidable Qin Yu’s Spiritual Sense was.
Transforming into a streak of light, Qin Yu directly traveled towards the south.
But not long after he started flying, Qin Yu noticed eight Demon Cultivators nearby. He immediately stopped using Star Power to conceal his presence, though his Spiritual Sense didn’t bother to hide, as all eight Demon Cultivators were merely at the Golden Core Stage.
"Big Brother Sang Tan, the Clan Leader is almost going mad, continuously having us search and not even letting us rest a bit," one of the Demon Cultivators said. These eight Demon Cultivators were indeed members of the Sang Clan’s Octopus, and the eight members were acting together. This slack in their effort was because if one person searched an area, it would be much faster.
"Damn it, no idea where this Cultivator has rolled off to. There aren’t any Cultivator Islands within a ten thousand li radius, and despite searching for so long and the Clan Leader even issuing a Bounty Order, there’s someone searching every hundred li, yet not even a ghost’s shadow can be found," Sang Tan also said angrily.
A distance away, Qin Yu, who was probing with his Spiritual Sense, suddenly looked grim.
He knew the Bounty Order would bring many Demon Cultivators to find him, but he hadn’t expected that on average, there would be one Demon Cultivator every hundred li. Considering that a hundred li was not much distance for a Demon Cultivator, it put him at ease.
However, Qin Yu didn’t know that within this ten thousand li radius, the Demon Cultivators pursuing him were densely packed, since most assumed Qin Yu was within this area. As for further areas, there were far fewer people, with most Demon Cultivators only casually searching.
Demon Cultivators, generally finding Cultivation dull, were thus quite enthusiastic about hunting down a certain Cultivator.
"Eight Demon Cultivators," Qin Yu pondered the possibility of killing eight Demon Cultivators. After a moment, he slowly shook his head, "No, it’s impossible to take care of all eight at once. Moreover, Sang Mo having his clan members come out, they must certainly have a way to communicate with each other. If I can’t kill all eight at once and they send out a message, that would bring many pursuers to this spot, which would be bad."
"Consider yourselves lucky, all eight of you."
Qin Yu did not use the Star Power within his body to propel himself but relied solely on his physical strength, shooting through the water like an arrow directly. The principle behind his initial cultivation of movement technique was to turn the resistance of the water into assisting force. With Qin Yu’s physical strength, coupled with his underwater movement technique, his speed was quite fast.
He soon left the eight Demon Cultivators far behind.
"Just relying on strength to move through the water, the speed is still not as fast as using Star Power to fly," Qin Yu found no Demon Cultivators around with his Spiritual Sense and began to stimulate the Star Power, ready to proceed at extreme speed. However—
Qin Yu’s expression changed.
There were unexpectedly two more Demon Cultivators ahead, and, seeing how these two were releasing their Spiritual Sense to search, they might also be after him.
"I’ve only traveled a dozen miles and already encountered people chasing me." Qin Yu finally understood how dense the pursuers were, especially within this 100,000-mile area, Demon Cultivators generally extended their Spiritual Sense to search even when not specifically on a task.
The two Demon Cultivators looked very strong, one of them bald, dressed in Battle Armor. The other was even more muscular, his skin a dark green color, holding a black staff in his hand.
"Hey, buddy, life’s been really boring these days, huh? Have you gone hunting above the water surface recently?" the Bald Man in Battle Armor casually asked the Green Giant Man.
With a secretive smile, the Green Giant Man said, "Of course, last time I went hunting near the shores of the neighboring continent, I was lucky to encounter a fishing boat. There were over a dozen people on board, including some women. I transformed into my true form and ate half of them in one go; the rest I stored in my Storage Bracelet. Haha, those people screamed ’water monster’ when they saw my true form."
"Could you let a brother here also..." the Bald Man hinted with a look towards the Green Giant Man.
Laughing, the Green Giant Man said, "Sure thing, sure..." but before he could finish, a fist had pierced directly through his chest right where the heart is, shattering it instantly.
"Damn it!"
There was a trace of ruthlessness in Qin Yu’s eyes. Having heard their conversation, he decided to kill these two.
When the Bald Man saw Qin Yu, he was immediately shocked, "Who are you?" The shock in his heart was immense, he hadn’t sensed any presence at all, and yet Qin Yu had killed his companion with a punch out of the blue, fast enough to be frightening.
Qin Yu stared at the Bald Man, a cold smirk on his lips, "Consider yourself my Soul Search target."
"Soul Search, what do you mean?" the Bald Man was bewildered.
To Soul Search, the target’s soul must still be present. If a person’s body dies, the soul will soon leave the body and enter reincarnation. Thus, there are two methods for Soul Searching, one is to search a living person’s soul. The other is to kill the target immediately and search before the soul leaves the body.
Since the body of the Green Giant Man had been dead for a while, his soul had already left the body, so Qin Yu made the Bald Man in Battle Armor his target for Soul Search.
"You are... a Cultivator, the one who killed Sang Mo’s son?" the Bald Man suddenly exclaimed.
Qin Yu’s eyebrows lifted, the guy had recognized him right away.
"You actually recognized me. Tell me, how did you recognize me?" Qin Yu pressed the Bald Man to explain. The Bald Man secretly sighed with relief; the fact that his opponent hadn’t attacked immediately gave him a slim chance to escape.
Seeing how Qin Yu had killed his friend with one move, he had already judged Qin Yu’s strength.
The Bald Man said with an ingratiating smile, "It’s actually quite simple; there is no Demon Beast aura on you, your aura is different from ours. The only Cultivators who dare enter the deep sea are either extremely powerful or complete novices. And there are no..."
The Bald Man was still talking, but suddenly realized that Qin Yu, who had been ten meters away, had blurred and appeared right in front of him.
"Ah!"
The Bald Man instantly reacted, attempting to defend himself, but his fist had barely extended when—
"Bang!" 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖
The sound of bones shattering echoed as Qin Yu’s fist directly smashed the Bald Man’s fist, in his astonishment piercing his chest and shattering his heart. Simultaneously, Qin Yu’s left hand fiercely grabbed the Bald Man’s head.
Demon Path - Soul Search!
After a moment, Qin Yu withdrew his hand and also took the two Demon Cultivators’ Golden Cores as both of them were at the Golden Core Middle Stage.
The reason Qin Yu gave the Bald Man a chance to speak was that Qin Yu wanted to avoid any mistakes. Had he killed the Green Giant Man and immediately went for the Bald Man, the Bald Man would surely have been fully alert and defensive.
If an explosion were to happen, Qin Yu would have to stay far away, and by the time he withdrew, the soul of the other could have drifted away. Therefore, Qin Yu let him speak but acted while his opponent was mid-sentence.
"Destroying the evidence."
Qin Yu directly stored the bodies and Armor and Weapons of the two Demon Cultivators into his Space Ring. Most people’s Storage Bracelets have limited space and need to manage useless items, but Qin Yu was not concerned.
Storing the bodies and everything in the Space Ring was the ultimate method of destroying evidence.
Having absorbed the memories of the Demon Cultivator, Qin Yu fully understood the entire world of the Undersea Demon Cultivators, all his doubts vanished in an instant, and a confident smile involuntarily appeared on the corner of his mouth, "So that’s how it is!"
