Stellar Transformation-Chapter 393: Episode 13 - 13 Building Momentum
Beneath the Lin Hua Tree, Xuan Xi was talking with Emperor Yu.
"Brother Feng Yu, you should still remember Qin Yu’s Qingyu Immortal Mansion," Xuan Xi’s eyes sparkled with vigilance. "The last time we joined forces, we didn’t even scratch that Qingyu Immortal Mansion."
When Xuan Xi mentioned the ’Qingyu Immortal Mansion,’ Emperor Yu’s eyelids twitched.
Last time, twenty-eight Immortal Emperors surrounded that ’Qingyu Immortal Mansion’ for a whole twenty years. He even joined forces with Xuan Xi to unleash their strongest attack, yet they still couldn’t do anything about the Qingyu Immortal Mansion. The prolonged struggle allowed Qin Yu to open the third layer of the Ten Thousand Beasts List, releasing Blood Dragon Ao Wuxu.
In one battle, his elite forces were nearly wiped out, and his reputation was utterly ruined. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
"Xixi, this Qingyu Immortal Mansion is extraordinarily bizarre. Although I was an Eighth Level Immortal Emperor at that time, when we joined forces, we even used the Unrivaled Jing Sword to attack. It’s something that ordinary divine artifacts can’t withstand... This Qingyu Immortal Mansion, sometimes I wonder, could those green particles be something else!" Emperor Yu spoke slowly.
"Something else?" Xuan Xi questioned, "Could there really be any Immortal Mansion that could withstand our combined attacks?"
After contemplating for a long time, Emperor Yu shook his head and sighed, "Forget it, I can’t figure it out either, but the defense of that Qingyu Immortal Mansion is indeed terrifying. Even now that I have reached Ninth Level Immortal Emperor, I fear that even if we join forces, we might still find it difficult to breach that Qingyu Immortal Mansion."
Xuan Xi nodded.
The shock from the green particles that day was still very clear in their minds.
"If Qin Yu hides inside the Qingyu Immortal Mansion. We indeed would find it hard to kill him," Xuan Xi stated solemnly.
Emperor Yu smiled indifferently, "That’s why this time when killing Qin Yu, I’ve decided... it must be a fatal strike." Saying this, Emperor Yu’s gaze became fierce, "We can only use one strike, if the first strike fails, there will be no more opportunities to attack. This strike must achieve maximum power and absolutely must kill Qin Yu."
Xuan Xi laughed upon hearing this.
Their strongest strike, if Qin Yu did not hide in the Qingyu Immortal Mansion, she simply did not believe Qin Yu could survive.
"This time, it will definitely be successful," Emperor Yu looked up, gazing at the snow-white Lin Hua flowers on the tree.

No matter what Emperor Yu and his wife were planning on the Nameless Island about dealing with Qin Yu, Qin Yu and Hou Fei, the two brothers, had quickly passed through the Beast Clan’s territory and entered the Dragon Clan’s region.
"Big Brother, we have been on the road for so long, let’s rest on this planet for a day." Just after exiting the Interstellar Transmission Array, Hou Fei spoke to Qin Yu.
Qin Yu nodded, "We came from Cuiyun Star, and have been rushing for six days straight, it’s indeed time for a proper rest."
Ordinarily, Qin Yu and Hou Fei would exit an Interstellar Transmission Array and then queue up to board another. Constantly switching Interstellar Transmission Arrays, such tedious days, had indeed been tiring over six days.
On this planet, Qin Yu and Hou Fei ate and drank in a tavern, then settled down to stay in one of the courtyards behind the tavern, which was quite peaceful.
That night.
The night sky on the whole planet only had endless stars, Qin Yu and Hou Fei casually leaned back on two stone chairs, drinking and chatting.
As they talked, Hou Fei suddenly became tense, his eyes widening as he looked at Qin Yu, "Big Brother, based on what you’re saying, have you now cultivated to the late stages of the Black Hole Realm, isn’t the next realm about to be created?"
Qin Yu looked up at the starry sky.
The Seventh and Eighth Realms of the "Star Transformation" cultivation technique, he had created them, but what path should he take beyond the Black Hole Realm, Qin Yu had no definite goal in mind.
"Yes, I need to continue creating," Qin Yu sighed.
Hou Fei’s expression changed, looking seriously at Qin Yu, "Big Brother, what if the creation doesn’t succeed?"
"That’s hard to say, if I don’t continue cultivating, my power will always remain at the current level. But if I keep on cultivating and if the created realm is wrong, then it might possible..."
In Qin Yu’s mind, an image surfaced—the other end of the Black Hole Channel in the Dantian of the Glue World, with a space belonging to him, two to three meters in size, where energy surged tumultuously, his Black Hole collapsing, and his soul instantly dispersing.
Although this scene was only imagined, it was still a possibility.
Even though Qin Yu had not clearly described what would happen if creation failed, from the expression on Qin Yu’s face, Hou Fei had deduced it.
"Big Brother, if you’re not sure about creating the next realm, you absolutely mustn’t think about breaking through to the next realm," Hou Fei grabbed Qin Yu’s hand, his lively eyes locking onto Qin Yu, "Big Brother, answer me."
Qin Yu was startled for a moment, touched deeply.
Suddenly, Qin Yu laughed, "Alright, Feifei, don’t worry, I won’t act rashly, I won’t create anything without a certain degree of assurance, and besides... there are many branches for the next realm, I have some ideas, but haven’t completely decided yet."
A new cultivation technique, in the process of creation, the suitable path isn’t just one, there might be several, but only one of these is the best, the others might be worse.
The Black Hole Realm, what is the next realm?
Qin Yu could choose several paths, but each of these paths is different, and depending on which one he takes, Qin Yu could reach different realms in the future. Of course, the path Qin Yu takes could also possibly lead to a dead end!
"Big Brother, sigh, can’t you just not cultivate that ’Star Transformation’ technique? Creating a cultivation technique is too dangerous, it’s safer to follow the paths of predecessors," Hou Fei seemed frustrated, and the wine jug in his hand also ’crack’—suddenly crushed.
Qin Yu shook his head.
"Feifei, you know my cultivation technique; it’s not like the ones you practice. You cultivate the Nascent Soul and can switch to other cultivation techniques, but my technique is different. There’s no suitable technique for me, I can only rely on myself."
Qin Yu laughed nonchalantly, "Alright, your big brother isn’t a fool, come on, let’s drink, we still have to continue our journey tomorrow."
Hou Fei looked at Qin Yu and could only nod eventually.
In Hou Fei’s view, Qin Yu took life and death too lightly, always seeming so unconcerned, which worried him as a brother. However, Qin Yu himself was not at all anxious, and being in the late stages of the Black Hole Realm... it was already the best time to create the next realm.

Dragon Clan’s core planet—Green Crystal Star.
Green Crystal Star, in the entire realm of immortals, demons, and monsters, is considered an unusual planet. This planet is not very large, only about one-tenth the size of ordinary planets, but five-tenths of this planet’s interior is composed of green crystals, three-tenths are rivers and streams, and the remaining two-tenths are rocks, yellow soil, and the like.
From space, the entire planet appears a vibrant green color, emitting dazzling radiance.
Within Green Crystal Star, only the upper-class and super divine beasts of the Dragon Clan, as well as masters who had reached the emperor level and their families, could reside. The population of the entire Green Crystal Star was very sparse; they gathered in a small area of the Green Crystal Star, akin to a village.
The residence of the Dragon Emperor was very ordinary, resembling a courtyard house. Currently, only two people were present in this courtyard—Dragon Emperor Ao Fang and Prince Ao Wuming. Ao Wuming had returned to the Dragon Clan several days ago.
"Wuming, come, have a drink," the Dragon Emperor’s face was full of benevolence.
Ao Wuming nodded and raised his glass. This was the first time the Dragon Emperor had drunk with him since he had returned to Green Crystal Star a few days ago.
"Wuming, you’ve been back for several days, and I haven’t approached you because I’ve been thinking... how exactly I should talk to you," the Dragon Emperor’s face showed a hint of distress and helplessness.
"Father, speak, I’m listening," Wuming said calmly.
The relationship between Dragon Emperor Ao Fang and his son Ao Wuming was very tense.
Dragon Emperor Ao Fang looked at Wuming and sighed, "Wuming, I know... you have been angry with me. Alright, now that you are married to Lian Zhu, my opposition is useless, isn’t it?"
Wuming looked up at the Dragon Emperor, "I love Lian Zhu. No one can separate me from Lian Zhu, including my own father." Wuming’s gaze was stubborn, filled with uncompromising resolve.
The Dragon Emperor gave a bitter smile, "Alright, stop looking at me like that. I called you here today to discuss my abdication."
"Abdication?" A trace of surprise appeared on Wuming’s face.
The Dragon Emperor nodded, "Wuming, you should know, I have been stuck at the Eighth Level Demon Emperor for a very long time, and now you have also reached the Seventh Level Demon Emperor. It looks like... you will break through to the Eighth Level Demon Emperor soon, right?"
"Yes," Wuming nodded.
Wuming knew his father had been at the Eighth Level Demon Emperor for a very long time, with one son at Eighth Level and the other at Seventh Level, while the old man was still at Eighth Level. Just thinking about it told him how long the Dragon Emperor had been at the Eighth Level Demon Emperor.
"My Soul Realm reached the Ninth-level Demon Emperor a long time ago, but for the sake of the Dragon Clan, I’ve been suppressing my cultivation with inheritance treasures, not allowing myself to reach the Ninth-level Demon Emperor." At this point, Wuming showed a shocked expression, but the Dragon Emperor continued, "Now, with you and Wu Xu’s powers rising, and with some elders of our clan to assist you, you’ll be able to deter various forces once you integrate the inheritance treasure."
"Father..." Wuming opened his mouth as if to speak.
The Dragon Emperor waved his hand smiling, "Listen to me first. Once I stop suppressing my cultivation and reach the Ninth Level Demon Emperor... it’s hard to say when the Divine Tribulation will descend. It could be a thousand years, perhaps ten thousand years; it’s difficult to tell. According to the rules of our Dragon Clan from generation to generation, once I stop suppressing my power and reach the Ninth Level Demon Emperor, and if I survive the Divine Tribulation using the inheritance treasure, then you will be the new Dragon Emperor, Wuming. You wouldn’t refuse, would you?"
Wuming took a deep breath, looking at his father, he nodded.
As a scion of the Dragon Clan, he naturally had to consider the Dragon Clan’s interests.
"Very good," a hint of bitterness surfaced on the Dragon Emperor’s face, "Wuming, I know you and your older brother have always held grudges against me. You’re still alright... your brother despises me too much, he even despises the entire Dragon Clan."
"Wuming, after I stop suppressing my cultivation and reach the Ninth Level Demon Emperor... it’s hard to say when I will undergo the Tribulation Ascension. You may be stubborn, but at least you still recognize me as your father, and I don’t doubt your loyalty to the Dragon Clan. It’s just your older brother, I really wronged him, and it could even be said that the entire Dragon Clan wronged him."
The Dragon Emperor looked at Wuming, "Wuming, I know that among the entire Dragon Clan, only you and your brother get along somewhat. Could you give your father a chance to meet with Wu Xu?"
Wuming didn’t know what to say for a moment.
Wuming still remembered, the bloody red eyes of his older brother when he angrily left the Dragon Clan, the resentment in them so deep, not even the waters of a mighty river could wash it away.
"Forget it, forget it."
The Dragon Emperor smiled, "Wu Ming, you need not be troubled anymore. However, you also need to hasten your cultivation and reach the Ninth-level Demon Emperor, as it’s hard to say when the Divine Tribulation might arrive. The responsibility of the Dragon Clan will eventually fall on your shoulders."
"Understood." Wu Ming nodded.
This time, the relationship between father and son was slightly better, possibly because Wu Ming knew that his father, the Dragon Emperor, needed to reach the level of Ninth-level Demon Emperor and might ascend at any time, which is why he might have been somewhat closer.
The next day.
Wu Ming was at his residence, where Lian Zhu, as his wife, also lived.
While Wu Ming was talking to Lian Zhu, he suddenly felt someone transmitting a message through the Communication Spirit Pearl. He immediately took out the pearl and swept it with his Demon Recognition: "Big Brother Wu Ming, I have entered the Dragon Clan’s area."
Wu Ming immediately laughed, "Haha, it’s Qin Yu. I’m now on Green Crystal Star. When will you come over?"
"Big Brother Wu Ming, Feifei and I are heading to the Feiqin Clan to find our third brother. This matter has been weighing on us brothers, so we won’t come over for now. Once we find our third brother, we will visit you," Qin Yu continued to transmit, "Big Brother Wu Ming, I think, with the power of your Dragon Clan, you can definitely find out where I am now. If you want to see your Big Brother Wu Xu, you can hurry over."
"Big Brother?" Wu Ming was slightly startled.
Qin Yu continued to transmit, "This is the map of Hou Fei and my route within the Dragon Clan area. If you really want to see your Big Brother, then come... I’ve already spoken to Wu Xu about this, and he didn’t oppose."
"Okay, I will definitely come," Wu Ming responded, quickly asserting. It had been many years since he had seen his Big Brother, Ao Wuxu.
Suddenly, Qin Yu transmitted, "By the way, your Big Brother Ao Wuxu mentioned not to let your father, the Dragon Emperor, come too."
Wu Ming was slightly taken aback, recalling the content of his conversation with the Dragon Emperor the day before.
"Alright, Big Brother Wu Ming, Feifei and I are setting off now," after which Qin Yu broke the transmission.
Wu Ming, however, was indecisive, sitting in his chair with deeply furrowed brows, pondering at the bottom of his heart— "Should I tell Father about this?"

In a desolate mountain area, Qin Yu and Hou Fei were there, with a Communication Secret Array placed on the ground.
"Having a Communication Secret Array to carry around really is convenient," Qin Yu remarked as he waved his hand and stored the Communication Secret Array within the Jiang Lan Realm. With the Communication Secret Array on him, he could contact anyone at any time.
"Feifei, let’s head straight to the Feiqin Clan’s area without any rest along the way. It’s not too late to rest once we get to the Feiqin Clan’s area," Qin Yu looked towards Hou Fei.
"Got it, once we arrive at the Feiqin Clan’s area, we definitely need to take a break. Moreover, when we get there, we must let Si Zhan confirm the location of the Mixed Feathered Bird," Hou Fei said with a smile.
Soon, the two brothers set off again, proceeding through the night and day. Their route was planned to traverse the entire Dragon Clan to finally reach the border planet of the Feiqin Clan’s area—Yellow Bird Star. However, Qin Yu and Hou Fei were unaware that each time they used the Interstellar Transmission Array, someone was passing their information out— their journey was completely monitored by Emperor Yu and Emperor Xuan.
