Stellar Transformation-Chapter 402: Episode 13 - 22 Millennium of Hard Cultivation
"Nine-Transformation Dark Gold Body" is divided into nine major realms, which are, respectively, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple, Silver, and Dark Gold. Once this cultivation technique is operated, the bones inside the body will undergo shocking transformations; with each evolution, the light emitted by the bones will change as well.
When the bones throughout the body emit a dark gold light, one is considered to have completed the cultivation.
This "Nine-Transformation Dark Gold Body" primarily cultivates the tendons and bones, with muscles as a secondary focus. Qin Yu’s body was already incredibly strong, allowing him to directly enter the Third Layer with this technique, causing his bones to emit a faint golden-yellow light. Because he advanced rapidly at the beginning and reached the Third Layer in one go, the light was emitted outward.
Normally, the light emitted from the bones is just barely visible on the surface, and cannot be seen from the outside. Unless the cultivator deliberately displays it.
...
Qin Yu sat by the lakeside, quietly fishing.
Within his body, each of Qin Yu’s bones faintly bore some rune seal patterns, not only on the bones, but also on the skin surface, indicating a dense array of various rune seal patterns during cultivation.
"So that’s how it is; 27,000 rune seal patterns. I wonder how many ancestors from the Dinosaur Clan took how many trials to come up with this most excellent combination," Qin Yu said with a smile.
If observed with Immortal Consciousness, one would find tiny electric snakes at the fine rune seal patterns in Qin Yu’s muscles and bones, continuously infiltrating every part of his body, and his tendons, bones, and muscles were also undergoing changes.
Besides these electric snakes, there was also a green light continuously infiltrating every part of Qin Yu’s body.
Tendons and muscles are normally unable to absorb celestial energy directly for transformation, but through the transformation of rune seal patterns, the formed "electric snakes" can merge into tendons and bones, muscles, letting the insides continuously shatter and regenerate. Three thousand rune seal patterns make up one group, covering every part of the body. Qin Yu had nine groups of rune seal patterns on his body, with each group superimposing upon each other. However, during the cultivation of each layer, the primary rune seal patterns that are in action vary.
After carefully observing his body for a long time, Qin Yu finally understood completely.
"Even if I do not cultivate, the Life Essence Power can still make my body stronger," Qin Yu recognized very clearly.
At this moment, numerous tiny electric snakes were transforming his body, but at the same time, green light was merging into his body, which was the Life Essence Power. Unbeknownst to Qin Yu, his body had been slowly improving.
"Haha..." Qin Yu suddenly laughed, "When people of the Dinosaur Clan cultivate, they fear that too many ’electric snakes’ they absorb will be too much for their tendons and bones to handle, leading to breakage, thus they need to cultivate slowly in an orderly manner. But I have the Life Essence Power, so I don’t have as many concerns."
With a thought from Qin Yu, the 27,000 rune seals emitted a faint glow, and the number of electric snakes drastically increased, creating a crackling sound from within Qin Yu’s body. Even his muscles began to tremble.

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, three hundred years had gone by.
At this moment, Qin Yu was playing chess with Wu Lan. The rules of the game were taught to Wu Lan by Qin Yu because Wu Lan had never learned them before. Although Qin Yu’s skills were not strong, it was effortless for him to bully the beginner Wu Lan. Over three hundred years, Wu Lan played chess with Qin Yu, losing more often than winning.
"Big Brother, Big Brother." An anxious voice came from afar.
"Your third brother is calling you. You go ahead; let’s call off this game," Wu Lan immediately wanted to scatter the pieces.
"Hey, stop." As soon as Qin Yu thought about it, an invisible energy protected the chessboard, then Qin Yu said with a smile, "Wu Lan, Big Brother, you were about to lose this game, and now you want to spoil the game. That won’t do."
"""
"You little rascal," Wu Lan said with a helpless smile on his face.
"Big Brother," Hei Yu came to Qin Yu’s side, his face full of excitement, "Big Brother, Ling ’Er—Ling ’Er is..." Unable to contain his excitement, Hei Yu couldn’t get the last words out.
"What happened to Ling ’Er?" Qin Yu looked at Hei Yu, puzzled.
Swallowing nervously, Hei Yu finally said, "Ling ’Er is pregnant!"
"Pregnant!" Both Qin Yu and Wu Lan’s eyes bulged in shock.
"Mixed Feathered Bird, what did you say?" A shadow zipped over from a distance like lightning. Hou Fei’s eyes widened as he looked at Hei Yu.
Hei Yu shouted excitedly, "Yes, Ling ’Er is pregnant, I’m going to be a father, haha, I’m going to be a father!" At this moment, joy appeared on the faces of Qin Yu, Hou Fei, and Wu Lan.
...
Ever since Bai Ling got pregnant, a group of people within the Jiang Lan Realm became excited.
After all, cultivators have a long lifespan and there aren’t many things to get excited about, but now that they knew Bai Ling was pregnant, naturally everyone sprang into action. Not just the three brothers Qin Yu, but also Ye Qu and Wu Lan, and even the four great Demon Emperors, Si Zhan and Yun Ming, as well as the icy Ao Wuxu, all hurried over.
"You all stay outside, do not come in."
Among the four Demon Emperors, the only female—Emperor Dong Xue—kept the crowd out of the gate, while she herself entered the courtyard.
Outside the gate.
"Little Black, don’t be nervous. After all, Bai Ling is a Ninth-level Demon King. Giving birth to a child shouldn’t be too difficult—the worst-case scenario might be a severe drain on her vitality," Qin Yu comforted him. Qin Yu had heard about childbirth among the people of the Demon World, and he knew that the more powerful the divine beast, the more difficult childbirth was.
But he had never heard of any dying from it.
"I know," Hei Yu nodded, "Sigh, I just don’t know what our child’s true form will be."
"Who cares what level it is, at the very least it should be a divine beast, right?" Hou Fei muttered from the side, "Mixed Feathered Bird, you are an Upper Level or Super Divine Beast, Bai Ling is a Lower Level Divine Beast, your child is nine out of ten times a divine beast, it’s just unclear what level."
The icy Ao Wuxu also interjected at this moment, "It’s either from the Eagle Clan or the Hundred Spirits Bird Clan."
"Not necessarily," Wu Lan said with a smile, "It might also be a Mutated Divine Beast, though the probability is very low. But since the father is a Mutated Divine Beast, I believe this child won’t be ordinary." There are very few Mutated Divine Beasts, so it’s hard to predict what their offspring would be, especially since there are so few examples.
This bored group began to speculate outside in the courtyard, while Hei Yu occasionally looked anxiously toward the inside, very worried in his heart.
"It’s born!"
A voice of surprise came from inside, and then they saw Bai Ling and Dong Xue emerge, their faces slightly pale. At this moment, Bai Ling was holding a small chick, and immediately the group crowded around to see what the true form was.
"It looks like a Hundred Spirits Bird, but why is it black?" Hou Fei exclaimed in surprise.
"""
The Hundred Spirits Bird Clan comes in many varieties, with yellow feathers, white feathers, and even colorful feathers; however, no black feathers could be found. Yet the entire chick was covered in black feathers.
"Black is good, like me." Hei Yu’s face was filled with joy as he approached Bai Ling, "Ling ’Er, you’ve worked hard."
Bai Ling smiled slightly and shook her head, then looked down at the adorable black chick again.
"It looks just like Little Black when he was young." Qin Yu said with a smile, recalling the time he first found Little Black during his childhood. The little black chick really resembled him, except one was an eagle chick, and the other a Hundred Spirits Bird.
"Big Brother." Hei Yu felt somewhat embarrassed by Qin Yu’s words.
Qin Yu smiled, "Alright, I won’t say anymore. Little Black, have you thought of a name for the child?"
"I have decided. If it’s a boy, he’ll be called Hei Tong; if it’s a girl, Hei Tong," Hei Yu stated decisively. The people around him were taken aback for a moment. Bai Ling looked puzzledly at Hei Yu, "Brother Yu, why are the names the same?"
"Oh, they sound the same, but the characters are different." Hei Yu explained and wrote it down for everyone to see, which made them suddenly understand.
"Hey, Little Bai Ling, is it a boy or a girl?" Hou Fei quickly asked, to which Bai Ling responded with a radiant smile, "It’s a girl."
...
After the birth of Little Heitong, she became the joy and treasure of everyone in the Jiang Lan Realm. It wasn’t until after Little Heitong’s Four-nine Heavenly Tribulations that Qin Yu and the others realized that Heitong did not possess Inheritance Memory. It was evident that Little Heitong was neither an Upper Level Divine Beast nor a Super Divine Beast.
In fact, after seeing that Little Heitong’s true form was that of a Hundred Spirits Bird, everyone had some understanding, given that the Hundred Spirits Bird Clan is one of the weaker families among the Feiqin Clan, with the strongest being Intermediate Divine Beasts. Although Little Heitong was special, being born a Hundred Spirits Bird meant she wouldn’t be too strong.
In the Jiang Lan Realm, where Primordial Spirit Qi was abundant, Little Heitong went through the Ninety-nine Tribulations in about a hundred years.
With a Top-Grade Defensive Immortal Device and Top-Grade Offensive Immortal Device gifted by her great uncle Qin Yu, Little Heitong breezed through her Ninety-nine Tribulations. Afterwards, she transformed directly into a human, becoming a lovely young girl.
...
"What, you’ve cultivated ’Nine-Transformation Dark Gold Body’ to the Fifth Layer already? It’s only been how many years, just over five hundred, right?" Ye Qu could scarcely believe it as he looked at Qin Yu, "When cultivating the body, you need to be extra careful, or else if bones break, recovering them would take a tremendous amount of energy and effort."
The harder the bones, the more difficult it is to heal them once they are broken. That’s why members of the Dinosaur Clan are very cautious during their cultivation, preferring to slow down rather than let their bones break.
After all, reaching around the Seventh Level Demon Emperor, their bones would be comparable to Immortal Artifacts. Just think about how difficult it is to repair damaged Immortal Artifacts, and you’ll understand how tough it is to heal broken bones.
"Is that fast?" Qin Yu replied, thinking to himself, "I actually thought it was slow. It took more than five hundred years just to reach the Fifth Layer."
"Not fast? I’ve never seen anyone cultivate ’Nine-Transformation Dark Gold Body’ faster than you. I’ve been stuck at the Sixth Layer for so many years now, unable to break through. You should know that my Soul Realm has already reached an Eighth-Level Demon Emperor. It’s just because Body Refining must be done cautiously."
"Great uncle, come play with me." A cute young girl in black clothes ran over. "Daddy and the second uncle are always fighting and cultivating together, unwilling to play with me."
"Alright, I’ll play with you," Qin Yu replied with a resigned smile.
******
In the blink of an eye, the three brothers, Qin Yu, had been cultivating in the Jiang Lan Realm for a thousand years.
Qin Yu, Hou Fei, Hei Yu, and Bai Ling were sitting together.
"Time really flies; a thousand years have passed," Hou Fei sighed, then looked toward Hei Yu, "Mixed Feathered Bird, your cultivation speed is really fast. In just a thousand years, you’ve gone from a First-level Demon Emperor to a Fifth-level Demon Emperor. I’m now certain that you must be a Mutated Super Divine Beast!"
"Feifei, how can you be so sure?" Qin Yu asked, puzzled.
Hou Fei said helplessly, "Big Brother, I’m already a Sixth-level Demon Emperor, but if I only use Heaven Shattering Eighteen Strokes, I can only fight this guy to a standstill. I need to use the Heaven Shattering Nine Strokes that I haven’t fully comprehended yet to defeat him."
"Really?" Qin Yu was surprised.
Hou Fei was a Super Divine Beast. Even just using Heaven Shattering Eighteen Strokes was quite formidable, enough to defeat the average Seventh-level Demon Emperor.
"What else would it be?" Hou Fei exclaimed. Hei Yu and Bai Ling just looked at each other and snickered on the side. Hou Fei then said to Qin Yu, "Big Brother, you don’t know this, but the Super Divine Beasts of the Roc Clan are extremely fast, but their defense isn’t that great."
Qin Yu nodded; he was aware of this.
Hou Fei then angrily pointed at Hei Yu: "But this freak, Hei Yu, with his movement technique, is far faster than me. That would be fine, but the Black Feather Battle Armor formed by his feathers now has a defensive power that’s even close to a Divine Artifact. My standard attacks simply can’t break his defense. Moreover, his Black Feather Battle Armor is made up of layers of feathers, which can also disperse the attack power through these layers. His defense is seriously freakish."
Qin Yu looked at Hei Yu in surprise.
He knew that Hei Yu’s movement technique and speed were excellent. Even back in the Mortal World, Zong Jue’s movement technique was something Hei Yu could perform. Hei Yu’s feathers had been astonishingly tough since he was young, but Qin Yu had not expected that their defense would now be close to that of Divine Artifact Combat Clothes.
"Abnormal defense, terrifying speed with movement technique, and then there’s the Cloud Piercing Spear Uncle Lan gave him. After all these years of battling and fighting with me, Understanding Tao through Battle, his attack prowess needs no mention—it’s simply perfect! Absolutely a Mutated Super Divine Beast, even more terrifying than ordinary Super Divine Beasts, with no weaknesses at all!" Hou Fei’s words were filled with deep envy.
Qin Yu’s heart was filled with joy.
The stronger Little Black was, the happier Qin Yu became.
"Big Brother, what level have you cultivated to? Your Soul Realm has advanced, and I can’t see through you anymore." Hou Fei and Hei Yu both looked at Qin Yu, and Bai Ling did as well.
Qin Yu said with a faint smile, "My Soul Realm has reached the Third Level of Heavenly Soul, so it’s normal that you can’t see through me. As for the Nine-Transformation Dark Gold Body, I reached the Sixth Level more than two hundred years ago, and now I am not far from the Seventh Level." Qin Yu was very confident. Even just reaching the Sixth Level, he could keep up with Ye Qu, a Seventh-level Demon Emperor.
With the Life Essence Power he possessed, even if his bones were broken, they could quickly heal. And now, the toughness of his bones was nearing Divine Artifact levels, so they were not so easily broken.
"Big Brother, Monkey, can we go out now?" Suddenly, Hei Yu asked.
(End of Chapter Two~~~~~ With the current strength of Qin Yu and his brothers, it’s time for some tickets, right?~~)
