Stellar Transformation-Chapter 113: Season 5, Episode 16: Trouble Stirred

The energy impurities were completely incinerated and refined into purity, and at last, the essence of life was absorbed by Qin Yu, reaching the Early-stage Nascent Soul, and moreover, a Nascent Soul of a Red Blood Water Python, which possessed more energy than others of the same level.

Within the Dantian.

The volume of each silver particle was especially large, one after another, forming circle upon circle, creating a giant vortex. At the center of the vortex was the blue flame ’True Star Fire’, and as time went on, the silver particles also grew larger and larger.

"Crack!"

Suddenly, one of the silver particles split into two, followed by all the silver particles within Qin Yu’s body dividing one after another. In a short while, the number of silver particles in Qin Yu’s body had doubled again. At this moment, the silver particles in Qin Yu’s Dantian were dense and numerous, forming a dense silver particle vortex.

Late Star Nebula Stage!

High risk, likewise, brings high returns.

Not even a year since arriving in the Undersea Demon Cultivator World, Qin Yu’s cultivation had finally broken through once more, reaching the Late Star Nebula Stage. At this moment, the energy within Qin Yu’s body was much stronger and purer than before. His strength had greatly increased.

However, even after reaching the Late Star Nebula Stage, only more than half of the Nascent Soul’s energy had been consumed. Qin Yu continued to absorb... As time passed, it took Qin Yu a full nine days to completely refine the Nascent Soul.

Qin Yu opened his eyes, a hint of joy in his gaze.

"If I encounter that Red Blood Water Python now, it probably won’t be as tough as before," Qin Yu thought confidently.

The founder of ’Star Transformation’, Lei Wei, was only at the Mid Tribulation Crossing Stage and had not undertaken the tribulation when he single-handedly killed a Great Success Stage master, several Independent Immortals, and dozens of Transcendence Tribulation Stage and Kongming Stage experts.

It was simply battling beyond his level.

’Star Transformation’ is not like other cultivation techniques. While each level in other cultivating immortality techniques has a considerable gap, they are not insurmountable. However, each realm within ’Star Transformation’ is truly a different concept.

In the Star Nebula Realm, it is still the most ordinary Star Power.

The Meteor Realm, however, refines all the Silver Stars into a point of golden essence, known as ’Meteor’. To refine all the Silver Stars into just a single point of golden essence ’Meteor’, the energy of this Meteor is not on the same level as Qin Yu’s current Star Power at all.

"Currently, at the Late Star Nebula Stage, I should have no problem dealing with average Early-stage Nascent Souls. While there might be some difficulty against top-tier demon beasts like the Red Blood Water Python, I can still manage. If I reached the Early-stage Meteor, I suppose I could directly confront those at the Early-stage Cave Void," Qin Yu pondered.

Qin Yu was very clear about his own cultivation techniques. Once he reached the Meteor Realm, his strength at the same level would definitely be considered that of a humanoid Divine Beast!

Unfortunately, to get from the late stage of the Star Nebula to the Early-stage Meteor, even if devouring Early-stage Nascent Soul demon beasts, it would take at least eight or nine, and without decades or a century of self-practice, it would be almost impossible.

"Eh, this Red Blood Water Python’s Storage Bracelet isn’t bad at all."

A bracelet appeared in Qin Yu’s hand; it was Cha Ge’s bracelet, the bracelet of that Red Blood Water Python. With Cha Ge’s death, this Storage Bracelet had become ownerless, and Qin Yu’s Spiritual Sense immediately entered the bracelet to start a careful inspection.

"Tsk tsk, this Red Blood Water Python’s family fortune is indeed substantial."

The space inside the bracelet was quite large, twenty meters in both length and width. At this moment, inside the bracelet was a Golden Mountain made entirely of gold, next to which was a half-meter tall pile of Purple Gold, along with various other minerals.

Gold is a common material, but Purple Gold can be refined into Flying Swords. Typically, a thousand pounds of gold can only be refined into two or three pounds of "Purple Gold". If one uses Purple Gold alone to refine a Flying Sword, it would merely amount to a Low Grade Flying Sword.

However, when Purple Gold is used as an auxiliary material, transforming it into Purple Gold Liquid and then engraving the Flying Sword with talismanic patterns using this liquid, the effect is extremely beneficial. One should know that Purple Gold Liquid is a top-tier material for making talismanic patterns.

Other various mineral crystals are mostly used for cultivating Low Grade Spiritual Artifacts, with a few being used in the refining of Middle Grade Spiritual Artifacts.

"Eh, a token?"

Qin Yu discovered a token in the corner of his Storage Bracelet. With a thought, the token went directly into his palm. The token was black and bore only the words "Red Blood". Seeing this token, Qin Yu’s face immediately changed.

"The Red Blood Black Order, only the three Cave Masters have this," Qin Yu turned deathly pale in an instant.

The Red Blood Cave Mansion ruled over an area of eight million miles. Among them, one was the Cave Master and two were Vice Cave Masters, each possessing the ’Red Blood Black Order’. Additionally, the thirteen protectors each held a ’Red Blood Blood Order’.

If the ’Red Blood Black Order’, which is exclusive to the three Cave Masters, is here, then the python he had slain was—?

"Could it be... that python was the legendary Red Blood Water Python?" Qin Yu felt his heart in turmoil. Facing Cha Ge’s pursuit, Cha Ge had transformed into a huge python. It was known that pythons were a rather sizable clan in the vast sea.

A python had not led Qin Yu to connect it to the Red Blood Water Python.

"Right, that guy once said that he could command Sang Mo." Qin Yu recalled a statement made by Cha Ge. This further confirmed the suspicions in his heart. It was very likely that he had killed a Vice Cave Master of the Red Blood Cave Mansion.

As for the Cave Master, Qin Yu had never considered it. The Cave Masters, known to be invincible in his memory, were not beings he could possibly kill.

"Is this... a Communication Order?" Qin Yu found another item in his Storage Bracelet. Having performed a Soul Search before, he was aware of the Communication Order and the general affairs of the Red Blood Cave Mansion. Scanning the Communication Order with his Spiritual Sense, Qin Yu’s expression changed again.

"Vice Cave Master, you should have killed that Cultivator by now, congratulations. My ’Thunder Hammer’ is already waiting for the Vice Cave Master to retrieve it."

"Vice Cave Master, what’s the matter? Haven’t you killed that Cultivator yet?"

"Cultivator, is this Communication Order in your hands? You actually dared to kill the Vice Cave Master; you do have some strength, haha... But there’s no need for me, Sang Mo, to offer a reward now. By killing the Vice Cave Master, you’re practically seeking death. Just wait for the Cave Master’s wrath."

Three messages transmitted through Spiritual Sense were inside the Communication Order.

Seeing them, Qin Yu’s heart shook. It was just as he suspected. He had indeed killed a Vice Cave Master of the Red Blood Cave Mansion.

Trouble! He had stirred up major trouble!

Within this area of eight million miles, the Red Blood Cave Mansion was the Emperor of the land. And according to the information obtained from his Soul Search, the most terrifying Cave Master of the Red Blood Cave Mansion was an invincible presence within that region.

Qin Yu was at a loss for a moment. Having killed the Vice Cave Master of the Red Blood Cave Mansion, how could the Red Blood Cave Mansion let this go?

"There is only one solution now." A fierce glint flashed through Qin Yu’s eyes. To navigate safely in the Undersea Demon Cultivator World, he must comprehend the Demon Secret Skill "Beiming". Only by completely concealing his aura, making it impossible for others to detect him, could he be safe.

First, he concealed his aura, then changed his appearance, and even his temperament!

The change in temperament was the most crucial. Once his temperament changed, even if Sang Mo met him face-to-face, he might not be able to tell that Qin Yu was the cultivator. To change his temperament, Qin Yu first changed his style of dress, and second, he learned "Beiming."

Once he had learned "Beiming," Qin Yu absorbed the surrounding aura like a black hole, in a domineering manner. With a significant change in temperament, and with slight changes in appearance and dress, Sang Mo would be completely unable to distinguish him.

"The demon secret skill ’Beiming,’ learning ’Beiming’ is most important." Qin Yu made up his mind, not just to prevent being assassinated this time, but also for the future. He must cultivate the demon secret skill ’Beiming.’

******

After three days of cultivation, Qin Yu had to admit that mastering ’Beiming’ was not something that could be achieved overnight.

"Ha-ha, a bunch of idiots, just too weak, too weak!" A brash and arrogant voice came from outside. Qin Yu couldn’t help but smile upon hearing it; he knew it was the Fire-Eyed Water Ape ’Hou Fei.’ Qin Yu immediately left the bamboo house and went outside.

Having been here for so long, Qin Yu had not yet taken a close look at this place.

The bamboo house was in an inner valley located within a deep-sea canyon. This inner valley had a natural barrier that baffled others, and Uncle Lan had set up restrictions at the entrance of the inner valley, making it nearly impossible for outsiders to enter.

Inside the inner valley was a breathtakingly beautiful place, with fish of various colors, crystal trees emitting a green glow, purple grass, and crystal clear silver armored shrimp, as well as giant turtles several meters long.

It had to be said that this inner valley was indeed very beautiful. At that moment, in one part of the valley, Hou Fei was fighting three demon cultivators, waving a black stick.

"Bang!" A burly man wielding dual-pointed knives and wearing battle armor was sent flying by Hou Fei with a swing of his stick.

Hou Fei’s black stick instantly became three illusions. The skinny man who held two sharp spears only managed to block two of the illusions with the spears in his hands, while the third illusion struck directly, sending him flying as well.

"Ha-ha, go!"

With a single strike of the stick and a light stretch of his leg, the fat man carrying a turtle shell was thrown flying.

One against three, Hou Fei won with ease.

"Ha-ha... Truly useless. Put some effort into it, come on, fight again, fight again," shouted Hou Fei, waving his black stick at the three demon cultivators. His fire eyes flickered with a combative glare.

"Big Brother, you’re awesome. We concede, we concede," the silver-armored man holding the dual-pointed knives quickly said. The skinny man with the spears, who was picking himself up, hurriedly added, "Big Brother, you’re invincible. Please stop fighting us."

As for the fat man with the turtle shell, he blinked his pitiful green bean eyes.

Suddenly, the fat man’s green bean eyes shifted, and upon seeing Qin Yu approaching, he quickly said, "Big Brother, someone’s coming. Given his imposing manner, he’s undoubtedly a master. Only you, Big Brother, can match him."

Hou Fei swung his black stick and turned to look.

"Big Brother," Hou Fei’s eyes lit up, filled with the desire to fight. "Big Brother, come and have a few good battles with me," he said, swinging his black stick and charging directly at Qin Yu without waiting for a response.

Qin Yu hadn’t practiced his combat skills for some time and was also feeling an itch to fight.

Seeing the Black Stick thrusting toward him, Qin Yu’s eyes lit up, and in an instant, Flame Burning Gloves appeared in his hand. Qin Yu grasped the Black Stick with one hand, feeling the terrifying Qi Force contained within, and immediately let go while his hand transformed into a snaking motion, wrapping around the Black Stick. With his single hand now shaped like a sword finger, he stabbed towards Hou Fei’s palm.

"Bang!"

Qin Yu only felt as if his sword finger had struck Vajra, emitting a symphony of steel clashing against steel. He couldn’t help but be taken aback—the Flame Burning Gloves were on his hand, and yet he couldn’t even injure Hou Fei’s hand. Hou Fei’s defense was too terrifying.

"Haha, refreshing! But it would be better if your strength were a bit greater."

Hou Fei was very excited; with a slight vibration of his hand, the Black Stick suddenly transformed into a shadow of a stick smashing towards Qin Yu. Just as Qin Yu was about to dodge, Hou Fei slightly prodded the Black Stick with his finger, and it vibrated urgently while smashing down, its trajectory became extremely unpredictable. A hint of smugness appeared at the corner of Hou Fei’s mouth.

"Refreshing."

Seeing such an exquisite move, Qin Yu’s heart stirred with excitement. His hands bloomed like a lotus flower, each finger gently touching the Black Stick. After several contacts, the trajectory of the Black Stick was affected, and Qin Yu suddenly grasped it with both hands.

"Let go!"

Qin Yu yanked hard while his right leg simultaneously kicked towards Hou Fei’s hand holding the Black Stick.

"Bang!" Qin Yu’s kick landed heavily on Hou Fei’s hand, but Hou Fei seemed unfazed, grinning at Qin Yu with a mouth full of white teeth. Then Hou Fei’s forearm moved, and a surge of powerful Dark Force transmitted from the Black Stick to Qin Yu’s hands.

Qin Yu retreated, the Dark Force causing Qin Yu’s hands to go numb, even though he was wearing the Flame Burning Gloves.

Looking at Hou Fei, Qin Yu had to admit that Hou Fei was incredibly strong.

A Nascent Soul Middle Stage Divine Beast, almost comparable to the Divine Beast Dragon Rock Lion and Divine Beast Red Bird he had encountered in the past—creatures capable of competing with Cave Void Realm Cultivators. The gap between Qin Yu and such creatures was indeed vast; he couldn’t even break through their defenses.

"Ah, Sister Li’er, Xiao Yu has been bitten by a shark outside the valley – hurry, save him!" Amidst the urgent shouting, a flash of golden light zipped past Qin Yu and Hou Fei and entered the bamboo house.

Qin Yu and the others followed suit.

Only when the golden light stopped did Qin Yu see clearly that it was a beautiful young girl, with a golden fish scale on her forehead, currently holding a purple fish. The fish’s belly was torn open, clearly in mortal danger.

A green illusion suddenly appeared in the courtyard of the bamboo house—it was Miss Li’er.

"Little Jin, don’t worry, stop being anxious. Yan Zi, how did you leave the valley, and who allowed you to fight with that shark that’s nearly reached the Golden Core Stage?" Miss Li’er said with a smile, and then stretched out her hand to the wounded fish, immediately cloaking herself in a green glow.

Enveloped in the green light, Miss Li’er looked so graceful and pure.

Watching Miss Li’er treating the fish at this moment, Qin Yu suddenly felt that this was when she was most charming, healing others. Even a hint of feeling stirred in the depths of his heart, causing Qin Yu to shake his head and smile without a care.
