Stellar Transformation-Chapter 416: Episode 13 - 36 Stirring the Spring Heart
Whether it was Qin Yu and Hou Fei, Hei Yu, or Little Black and his family, they had not seen each other for a long time, and everyone was very excited. On that day, a banquet was laid out in the ’Qingliu Garden’ of the Wuliu Palace.
As the cups and plates were passed around, everyone appeared very excited, their faces beaming with smiles.
Qin Yu’s gaze swept across the room, and with the clarity of his Immortal Consciousness, which had already reached the Ninth Level Immortal Emperor, he distinctly discovered everyone’s strength. Suddenly, Qin Yu looked at Ye Qu with surprise, "Ye Qu, have you also reached the Eighth Level Demon Emperor?"
That Feifei and Little Black had made significant progress did not surprise Qin Yu. With Uncle Lan’s gifts of the Black Stick and the Cloud Piercing Spear, coupled with the natural talents of a Super Divine Beast, rapid progress was unquestionable. However, it seemed like Ye Qu had been stuck at the Seventh Level Demon Emperor for quite a while. How could he have broken through in just a thousand years?
"What? Is it okay for you to progress so quickly, but not for me?" Ye Qu said proudly. Suddenly, he looked at Qin Yu with curiosity, "Qin Yu, has your ’Nine-Transformation Dark Gold Body’ made another breakthrough?"
Qin Yu was just about to speak with a smile.
"You better not tell me you’ve reached the Seventh Layer!" Ye Qu said seriously.
"Oh?" Qin Yu appeared slightly puzzled.
Why didn’t Ye Qu want him to tell him?
"I fear I can’t bear the blow," Ye Qu said with a hint of resentment. "You were outside the Jiang Lan Realm for just about a hundred years. In a hundred years, if you really went from the Sixth Layer to the Seventh Layer, you wouldn’t be human."
Qin Yu understood.
"Hehe... When I was enduring years of arduous cultivation in the Jiang Lan Realm, I had already been at the Sixth Layer for hundreds of years. Now, reaching the Seventh Layer is not too fast," Qin Yu said with a smile.
Ye Qu stuttered, "You really reached the Seventh Layer?"
Ye Qu had made a casual guess just for fun and hadn’t expected Qin Yu to have truly reached the Seventh Layer.
"Being at the Seventh Layer, I might still be slightly weaker than you. You have already reached the Eighth Layer, but Feifei... your progress is quite fast," said Qin Yu, looking toward Hou Fei.
"Gaga, need you ask?" Hou Fei wore a self-satisfied expression.
Nowadays, Hou Fei was a Seventh Level Demon Emperor. Everyone knew that as one advances, it gets increasingly difficult, and even with Hou Fei’s talent and the aid of the Black Stick, it took him nearly a thousand years to break through.
"That monkey just broke through ten years ago. If Big Brother had opened the Jiang Lan Realm at exactly a hundred years, the monkey would probably still be a Sixth Level Demon Emperor," Hei Yu intentionally teased from the side.
"Don’t be jealous of me, Mixed Feathered Bird. For you to reach Seventh Level Demon Emperor, you’ll need at least a few thousand more years," Hou Fei said with pompous pride.
However, Qin Yu was quietly contemplating.
This period of intense cultivation had substantially increased the strength of his brothers, especially Hou Fei... As a Super Divine Beast at the Seventh Level Demon Emperor, he was almost at the same level as Ao Wuming. If you also considered his astonishing Spear Technique, he could even match a Ninth Level Immortal Emperor.
As for Qin Yu... the difference was negligible. At least, an Eighth Level Immortal Emperor would be like courting death in front of Qin Yu.
"Qin Yu," Wu Lan said with a smile from the side, "with the strength of you three brothers now, even if three Ninth Level Immortal Emperors attacked you, you would be able to escape unharmed. Wu Xu and I can’t offer you much help anymore."
Wu Lan obviously believed that Qin Yu’s strength was sufficient for self-protection.
"It’s still not enough," Qin Yu said helplessly. "Our current strength isn’t too much of a concern against Emperor Yu or Emperor Xuan, but that Peng Demon Emperor is too difficult to handle. I witnessed his speed firsthand. His speed is at least three to four times mine. In a real battle, I would be completely at a disadvantage. Moreover... the Peng Demon Emperor’s attacks are very strong. Even with my current defense, I believe a full-force punch from him could break through my defenses."
"Peng Demon Emperor, Dragon Emperor, Great Ape Emperor—these three are not comparable to ordinary Ninth Level Immortal Emperors," said Qin Yu, sighing deeply.
Qin Yu now possessed enough strength that he no longer feared the average expert, but an enemy with an Inheritance Treasure was still too powerful.
"Facing the Dragon Emperor, I am no match. However... should danger arise with the Peng Demon Emperor, I could still fend him off and save your life," Wu Lan said with a faint smile.
Ye Qu, standing beside him, grinned widely and chuckled, "Qin Yu, don’t worry. With Big Brother Wu Lan’s strength, he might not be able to handle the Dragon Emperor, but he can certainly hold off the Peng Demon Emperor. Even I, once I’ve reached the Ninth Layer of the ’Nine-Transformation Dark Gold Body,’ dare to compare myself to the Peng Demon Emperor."
Qin Yu looked at Wu Lan with surprise.
Yet joy surged in his heart. In the past, the Dragon Emperor had used brute force to suppress Immortal Emperor Ni Yang, forcing him to release Ao Wuxu. At the time, Wu Lan had admitted to being inferior to the Dragon Emperor.
Qin Yu had always assumed... since Wu Lan was not a match for the Dragon Emperor, he should not be a match for the Peng Demon Emperor either, especially since the Peng Demon Emperor and the Dragon Emperor were roughly equal in strength. But who would have thought that today Wu Lan would say such a thing.
"Senior Wu Lan, isn’t the power of the Peng Demon Emperor almost the same as that of the Dragon Emperor?" Hei Yu asked from the side.
Qin Yu, Hou Fei, and the others also looked at Wu Lan, puzzled by the same question.
Wu Lan replied with a light smile, "Each has their strengths and weaknesses. Although there’s not much difference between the Peng Demon Emperor and the Dragon Emperor, I just happen to be the bane of the Peng Demon Emperor, so I can hold him back. Of course, I can only hold him back because his speed is too fast... It’s impossible for me to defeat him."
"Oh..." Qin Yu felt somewhat enlightened.
"Uncle Wu, you are so amazing, Little Tong offers Uncle Wu a toast," said Hei Tong, who had been listening quietly on the side, suddenly standing up with a smiling face.
Wu Lan, glancing at Hei Tong, had a fond look in his eyes, "Good, good, I will certainly drink the wine Little Tong offers."
Wu Lan, Ye Qu, and even Ao Wuxu were all very indulgent towards Hei Tong, having watched her grow up from a young age.
After the banquet.
Qin Yu, Hou Fei, Hei Yu, and Bai Ling stayed in Qingliu Garden, and Wu Lan also stayed in Qingliu Garden. For Wu Lan, there was no need to rush his cultivation. However, Ye Qu went into the Jiang Lan Realm to cultivate.
Ye Qu also hoped to reach the Ninth-level Demon Emperor Realm sooner with the help of the Jiang Lan Realm.

In the Liulan Star, Qin Yu and the others led a peaceful and joyful life. Usually the three brothers would spar with each other from time to time, drink together with unrestrained joy, or stroll through some of the natural scenery of Liulan Star, living a carefree and comfortable life.
Wu Lan, too, was leisurely wandering through the three cities of Liulan Star, living a very pleasant life.
On this day.
The three brothers, Qin Yu, were drinking wine in a courtyard when Qin Yu suddenly stopped, his gaze turning towards the sky as if lost in thought.
"Big Brother, what are you thinking about?" Hou Fei and Hei Yu exchanged glances, then Hou Fei set down his wine cup and asked.
"Oh." Qin Yu came out of his reverie.
"I was just thinking... it’s been several hundred years by the standards of the Immortal, Demon, and Demon Worlds since we arrived here. I wonder if my father and my elder and second brothers have ascended to the Immortal, Demon, and Demon Worlds," Qin Yu said with a slight sigh.
"With the speed of father’s cultivation, I guess not yet. But the actual situation is really hard to say. Who knows if they might cultivate very quickly?" Qin Yu’s face held a wry smile.
Hei Yu comforted from the side, "Big Brother, don’t worry too much. Once on the path of cultivation, one can only rely on oneself. Help if you can, and if you can’t... there’s no need to think too much about it."
Qin Yu nodded.
"Hey, Big Brother, can you now open the second layer of the Jiang Lan Realm?" Hou Fei suddenly inquired, "Your strength is already very strong, you should be able to, right?"
Qin Yu shook his head.
Open the second layer of the Jiang Lan Realm?
His current strength was indeed not bad, having reached the seventh layer of the Nine-Transformation Dark Gold Body and possessing formidable Nine Transmutations Force, but it still wasn’t enough to open the second layer of the Jiang Lan Realm.
"I still have a considerable distance to go before I can open the second layer of the Jiang Lan Realm, we shouldn’t rush this matter," Qin Yu said, then suddenly turned his head to look over. Hou Fei and Hei Yu also turned their heads towards the entrance, only to see Hei Tong in a yellow dress, smiling playfully.
"Little Tong, what’s up?" Hei Yu’s demeanor was somewhat cold, but also held a strict father’s presence.
Hei Tong glanced at Hei Yu and giggled, "Dad, I want to visit Green Blue Star."
"Green Blue Star?" Hei Yu puzzled, "Why do you want to go there? Liulan Star is not small, you know, roaming through the three cities on Liulan Star should be enough."
Hei Tong snorted and then shifted her target to Qin Yu, her large eyes twinkling at him: "Uncle, I want to go to Green Blue Star."
"Green Blue Star, the core planet of the Green-Blue Star System where Liulan Star resides, is a place with a mix of dragons and snakes. What do you want to do there?" Qin Yu asked.
"I just want to go, okay? I went to Green Blue Star last year with Master, and hardly anyone knows me there, so I’m not in any danger," Hei Tong hurriedly explained, and Qin Yu then smiled, "Alright, if you want to go, then go."
"Yay~~ Uncle, you’re the best to me," Hei Tong said sweetly as she hugged Qin Yu.
"Big Brother," Hei Yu frowned.
"Come on, Mixed Feathered Bird, it’s just Green Blue Star, what’s the big deal?" Hou Fei spoke.
Qin Yu said, "Little Black, my soul realm has now reached the level of a Ninth Level Immortal Emperor, and even the Peng Demon Emperor’s soul realm is only at the level of an Eighth Level Demon Emperor. As long as I am with Little Tong, she will not be in any danger."
Qin Yu was very confident.
Now that his soul realm was high, there were only a few in the entire Immortal, Demon, and Beast worlds who could discover him, while he could discover others.
"Alright then," Hei Yu nodded, then sternly looked at Hei Tong, "Little Tong, be sure to listen to your uncle."
"Uncle, are you going too?" Hei Tong asked with a pout.
"What, is that a problem?" Qin Yu asked with a smile, sensing that Little Tong seemed to have a little secret.
"No, it’s nothing," Hei Tong struggled to force a smile.
******
As the core planet of a star system, Green Blue Star had a significantly larger number of experts than Liulan Star. Many immortals and masters from the Demon World frequented here, creating a chaotic mix. Meanwhile, Qin Yu and Hei Tong were inside an inn.
Hei Tong had a Communication Spirit Pearl in the palm of her hand under the table.
"Uncle, I want to go for a walk in the city by myself," Hei Tong said, fixing her gaze on Qin Yu.
"By yourself?" Qin Yu was somewhat puzzled.
Hei Tong nodded repeatedly, then pouted and wheedled, "Uncle, let me go for a walk, okay?"
"I want to see what little tricks you’re up to." Qin Yu’s immortal consciousness had already detected the Communication Spirit Pearl in Hei Tong’s hand, "Alright, but don’t make any trouble and bring problems to me."
"Hehe, surely, surely," Hei Tong chirped cheerfully as she darted out of the inn, quickly slipping away, but Qin Yu’s immortal consciousness instantly covered the entire Green Blue Star. Unless there was someone with a soul realm reaching the level of a Ninth Level Immortal Emperor, nobody would be able to detect Qin Yu’s probing.
"Hey, Yuwei, did you hear that there’s been a big disturbance in our Immortal Realm?" an immortal in the inn spoke up, "Having stayed within the Demon World for so long, I’m not very familiar with the current situation in the Immortal Realm."
Another young man in a green robe nodded, "Indeed, there has been a big disturbance in the Immortal Realm. A few hundred years ago, Emperor Yu and Emperor Xuan united their forces, and not long ago another power rose, led by someone named ’Emperor Yan.’ Just a few days ago... the Green Emperor even abdicated, handing over his leadership to his brother."
"Why would the Green Emperor abdicate out of the blue?" the immortal inquired.
The one called Yuwei shook his head, "Who knows? Emperor Yu was forced to abdicate due to Senior Qin Yu’s intervention, but the Green Emperor has a widespread reputation. Why would he abdicate?"
"The Green Emperor abdicated?"
Qin Yu’s brows furrowed as he downed his drink, yet his mind was still pondering, "I recall that during the time at Crescent Bay, the Green Emperor seemed to have completed some sort of cultivation technique. Could it be that now he’s abdicating because he wants to... cross the God Tribulation?"
Qin Yu was taken aback.
"And since when is there an Emperor Yan in the Immortal Realm? I’ve never heard of him before, but never mind." Qin Yu decided not to dwell on it anymore. Meanwhile, in the inn, groups of people continued chatting, discussing both the big shots of the Immortal, Demon, and Beast worlds and various Sect trivial matters.
Suddenly, Qin Yu’s eyes lit up, "So, that’s why Hei Tong wanted to come to Green Blue Star."
...
In a private room of another inn, 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
Hei Tong was speaking to a young man who was merely a First Level Sky Demon, who looked rather simple and honest, always wearing a naive smile on his face.
"Big guy, you haven’t been too anxious, right? I’m a month late in coming out," Hei Tong joked, her lively eyes staring at the naive young man.
The simple and honest young man shook his head again and again, "No, it’s fine, I don’t have much to do anyway, just cultivating on a hillside outside the city."
"Big guy, here," Hei Tong stretched out her hand, and ten Upper Grade Primordial Spirit Stones appeared on the table, "Seeing how low and poor your power is, take these Primordial Spirit Stones and go back to cultivate properly. I have plenty of such things."
The simple young man kept shaking his head, "No, I can’t take it."
"If you don’t take it, then I’m leaving," Hei Tong said, pretending to be angry and about to leave.
The simple young man panicked, and for a moment, he didn’t know whether to stop Hei Tong or to take the ten Upper Grade Primordial Spirit Stones. However, a sly smile flickered in Hei Tong’s eyes.
"This mischievous girl, it turns out she’s got a crush," Qin Yu chuckled to himself from another inn, slowly sipping his wine.
