Stellar Transformation-Chapter 444 - 14 Episodes 17 - s A Hundred Years of Cultivation
Qin Yu held his breath as he stared at the distant figure of Wu Lan, whose right hand, radiating with black light, slowly touched the emerald liquid, only for Wu Lan’s right hand to tremble unexpectedly.
"Even Wu Lan can’t withstand this One-element Heavy Water?" Qin Yu’s heart tensed.
Wu Lan’s right hand paused momentarily, then retracted back as swiftly as lightning.
Moving swiftly, Wu Lan was suddenly by Qin Yu’s side.
"What happened, Wu Lan?" Qin Yu already had a bad premonition. Wu Lan’s expression was solemn, and at this moment, the skin of Wu Lan’s right hand was as pale as ice.
Wu Lan’s gaze was still fixed on the distant emerald Cold Pond as he spoke softly, "Qin Yu, I’m certain, that emerald water pond is not just simple One-element Heavy Water."
"What happened?" Qin Yu had no idea what had just occurred, as he had only seen Wu Lan’s right hand enter and pause for a moment.
Wu Lan suddenly smiled, looking at Qin Yu cheerfully, "Qin Yu, when I reached into that One-element Heavy Water pond, I felt something mysterious at the bottom of the pond."
"Something mysterious?" Qin Yu looked at Wu Lan puzzled.
"Yes, if it were just One-element Heavy Water, my hands could have endured it. But just now, when I reached in, an extremely sharp chill invaded my right hand, exceeding the power of the One-element Heavy Water. The source of that intense chill must be some mysterious thing at the bottom of the Cold Pond. Now my right hand is injured," Wu Lan said with a self-deprecating laugh.
Qin Yu shook his head helplessly, "It seems that object is not meant for me, I should not covet it anymore."
"No," Wu Lan said with a smile, "don’t give up, it is possible for you to obtain that thing."
"Let’s hear it," Qin Yu’s eyes brightened.
Wu Lan explained in detail, "Just now when I reached my hand in, I confirmed one thing, even an Upper Grade Divine Artifact can’t withstand it inside, so it’s absolutely impossible to obtain the ’One-element Heavy Water’ and the item inside the Cold Pond by simply wrapping it with hands. There’s only one way... by using a storage space!"
"You mean... the Jiang Lan Realm?" Qin Yu frowned.
Wu Lan nodded and said with a smile, "Qin Yu, think about it, this thing has always been in here, yet the three Great Sovereigns of the Dark Star Realm have never taken it away. Clearly... even the three Great Sovereigns of the Dark Star Realm can’t remove the Cold Pond. Even storage rings or storage-type Divine Artifacts can’t withstand the One-element Heavy Water, let alone something from the bottom of the One-element Heavy Water Cold Pond."
"Isn’t the Jiang Lan Realm also a Space Divine Artifact?" Qin Yu asked, puzzled.
Wu Lan scoffed, "Divine Artifact, you’re underestimating the Jiang Lan Realm."
Qin Yu’s eyes lit up, "Wu Lan, what do you mean by that?"
"It’s no use telling you now. You’ll understand when you reach the Divine World later. Divine Artifact? Imagine, the Inheritance Treasure of the Dragon Clan, the Inheritance Treasure of the Roc Clan, which one isn’t more powerful than an Upper Grade Divine Artifact? This Jiang Lan Realm is also the most precious treasure I have seen since I was born," Wu Lan said with a sigh.
Qin Yu did not ask any further.
He knew Wu Lan didn’t want to elaborate; if he wanted to explain, he naturally would. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
"You can think of the Jiang Lan Realm as a space. It’s not like a storage ring, a space devoid of any vitality. This space is similar to ’Cosmic Space’, although it is not as advanced as Cosmic Space, it is relatively close. As long as you can get close to that Cold Pond, you can use the Jiang Lan Realm to directly absorb the Cold Pond into it," Wu Lan asserted confidently.
Qin Yu pondered for a moment.
Then he looked at Wu Lan and asked, "Then to get close to the Cold Pond, what level of strength is required?"
"What level of strength? When your body’s cultivation reaches a level comparable to that of an Upper Grade Divine Artifact, that would be about right," Wu Lan said with a light smile, "However, in the realms of immortals, demons, and spirits, I suspect you wouldn’t be able to make use of such a treasure."
Qin Yu didn’t think too much about it.
In the realms of Immortals, Demons, and Spirits, there aren’t many who can defeat him now. His true destination has always been the Divine World. After all, Li’er resides in the Divine World... Even Uncle Lan’s abilities can only ensure that Li’er isn’t forced into anything. One can imagine the challenges Qin Yu would face upon his arrival in the Divine World.
Identity, strength, status, no matter which realm one is in, all are supremely important. Having cultivated for so many years, Qin Yu naturally understood this very thoroughly. He never believed that upon his arrival in the Divine World, Li’er’s father would just hand her over to him. Everything would require his own effort!
"An Upper Grade Divine Artifact, is it? Understood," Qin Yu said with a smile to Wu Lan, "Wu Lan, thank you for this. I’ll send you back to Jiang Lan Realm right now."
Wu Lan nodded with a smile, "Strive hard, Qin Yu. I advise you... it’s best to get used to functioning under great pressure."
"Wu Lan, what do you mean by that?" Qin Yu asked, confused by Wu Lan’s ’advice’.
"Oh, the gravity of this Dark Star is indeed quite uncomfortable, Qin Yu, let me return to Jiang Lan Realm," Wu Lan changed the subject, leaving Qin Yu feeling helpless. He understood that Wu Lan didn’t want to elaborate further, and subsequently, with a thought from Qin Yu, Wu Lan vanished from the Dark Star.

"Cultivate diligently on the Dark Star, then visit the Mishen Palace once you’ve succeeded," Qin Yu had a plan in mind, eager to seize anything that might aid his future in the Divine World.
Qin Yu looked around, feeling the bone-chilling cold, and nodded slightly, "This place is just right for cultivation, cold, gravity!"
Then, Qin Yu started to run.
Not just a stroll, but a run.
With a determined look, Qin Yu’s leg muscles bulged with every step that smashed onto the ground. He ran continuously along a radius of over three hundred meters centered around the ’Emerald Liquid Cold Pond’.
This was the coldest he could endure at the moment. At his physical limit, the Life Essence Power continuously integrated into Qin Yu’s muscles, making them get used to the pressure.
Running, the simplest form of running.
Qin Yu ran stubbornly for a whole three years!
With the aid of his Life Essence Power, his progress over the three years was immense; his speed was much faster than before, yet even so... Qin Yu could only get ten meters closer to the Cold Pond at most.
"Now for weighted running," Qin Yu felt his muscles had improved significantly.
Qin Yu’s gaze shifted to the ground.
Under that terrifying cold, the surface of the Dark Star had long since cracked, splitting into a grid. Qin Yu grabbed one end of a long strip and was about to snap it!
But to his shock, Qin Yu found he couldn’t break it.
"This material is sturdy enough," Qin Yu’s hand suddenly produced a Middle Grade Divine Artifact Heaven-breaking, which in terms of hardness was indeed harder than this Dark Star’s material, and also sharper.
Qin Yu struggled to cut through, expending a great amount of effort to finally do so. The strip was only as wide and thick as a finger. Even though it was so thin, Qin Yu was only able to cut it with the sharpness of the Divine Artifact.
This was a dark red strip, three inches long, one finger wide, and one finger thick.
Qin Yu tried to pick it up.
But no matter how much effort Qin Yu exerted, he couldn’t lift this short strip, nor could he even move it slightly. Qin Yu had no idea that even on ordinary planets, the weight of this dark red strip would exceed that of a mountain. Given its existence under the gravity of the Dark Star, one could only imagine the density of this dark red strip.
And in a place with such horrifying Dark Star Gravity, gravity was more than a hundred thousand times stronger than that exerted on Qin Yu. Although it seemed minor. How could Qin Yu possibly move?
"How am I supposed to bear this weight?" Qin Yu couldn’t help but cry and laugh.
He then looked at the Divine Sword Heaven Breaking in his hand, which had undergone Blood Recognition and felt as light as a feather in Qin Yu’s hand.
"Gravity Restriction!" Qin Yu suddenly smacked his head, "I actually forgot about Gravity Restriction." Saying so, he set up a Gravity Restriction, increasing the gravity by just thirty percent.
This Gravity Restriction secret technique was something almost everyone in the Dark Star Realm knew, and Qin Yu had learned about this basic Gravity Restriction when he Soul Searched Xuzong.
"This really is heavy, and it’s only thirty percent." Qin Yu felt his entire body suddenly sink, as if even standing up became a burden. Suddenly, he smiled.
He thought back to his childhood.
During his childhood, he also ran with weights to crazily train his body.
Compared to his childhood, the ground he tread upon was not the paths of Donglan Mountain, but rather the surface of the 14th Star Emperor-level Dark Star in the Dark Star Realm.
In his childhood, he had carried stones and other weights, whereas now, Qin Yu relied on the Dark Star Realm’s Gravity Restriction to increase his gravity. Although it was just thirty percent additional weight, under the Dark Star’s gravity, it exceeded a hundred Donglan Mountains!
Footsteps resounded!
Qin Yu started running firmly, step by step.
As he ran, Qin Yu’s face even wore a tranquil smile. In a blur of consciousness, Qin Yu seemed to feel the Dark Star under his feet turning into the old paths of Donglan Mountain. And behind him, a familiar voice seemed to echo— "Faster, even faster!"
That voice was his first teacher, Zhao Yunxing’s voice.
Qin Yu kept running. Sweat continuously broke out from all over his body, the droplets instantly annihilated by the terrifying gravity. Qin Yu also remembered, before entering the 14th Star Emperor-level Dark Star, Elder Zhi Qiao had given him a Jade Scroll with this warning— "Do not use the Communication Spirit Pearl on the Dark Star, as it will entirely collapse under such terrifying gravity."
Even Qin Yu’s Sword Immortal Puppet was crushed down, so one could imagine the gravity. The sweat droplets even lacked the right to exist.
He ran step by step.
Qin Yu’s gaze was incredibly firm.
...
A hundred years later!
The Gravity Restriction on Qin Yu had increased to four times his weight, yet Qin Yu kept running, his gaze still as firm.
A full hundred years of enduring running, and under such immense pressure, just being able to stand meant that the body was constantly transforming. But with Qin Yu’s extensive running, every muscle in his body was rapidly evolving supported by the Life Essence Power.
A full hundred years of cultivation.
"Now my muscles should be at the Fifteen-star Emperor Level." These past few days, Qin Yu could feel his bones and muscles slowly transforming under the weight-bearing runs, clearly, his muscles had reached the same level as his bones now.
He looked at the cracked long strip of Dark Star beneath his feet.
"This thing is deadly heavy, I’ll get it to the Dark Star Realm to show to Little Tong and the others." Qin Yu used the Divine Sword Heaven Breaking to cut three dark red strips. Although he couldn’t carry them by hand, he could collect them using the Jiang Lan Realm.
With a thought, Qin Yu stored the three dark red strips into the Jiang Lan Realm.
Glancing back at the emerald liquid cold pond not far away, he said, "I’ll have to wait until I reach the Seventeen-star Emperor Level before coming here again." Qin Yu then ran toward the direction of the interstellar transmission array.
This time, Qin Yu had lifted the gravity restriction, and his speed was incredibly fast.
Within only half a day, Qin Yu had reached the transmission array. Near the transmission array, he saw Meng Long taking steps one at a time, clearly, a hundred years of cultivation had only enabled Meng Long to walk slowly.
Meng Long looked incredulously at the swiftly approaching Qin Yu.
"Meng Long," Qin Yu greeted with a smile.
Stuttering, Meng Long pointed at Qin Yu incredulously and said, "You, you have already succeeded in your cultivation?" It was known that cultivation became progressively harder, and Meng Long’s own speed was already quite fast.
But the plan Meng Long had set for himself was—to be able to stand and walk in a hundred years, to run normally in ten thousand years, and to run bearing a weight twice his own in a hundred thousand years; in a million years, to run bearing a weight three times his own.
That was his million-year-plan, but what about Qin Yu? How long had it been?
How could he not be shocked? He even felt his brain reeling from the shock.
Nodding with a smile, Qin Yu said, "Yes, I have succeeded. I think I can step into the Fifteen-star Emperor-level Dark Star now." To be able to run normally while bearing twice one’s weight was considered a success, but Qin Yu could now bear four times his own weight.
"How is that possible? How could you be so fast?" Meng Long found it unacceptable.
Qin Yu was aware that his cultivation speed was somewhat terrifying and casually said with a smile, "Perhaps I have good aptitude. Meng Long, I’m going ahead." Without saying much more, Qin Yu walked straight into the transmission array.
This interstellar transmission array was specially manufactured and did not require Primordial Spirit Stones for energy. Instead, it needed cultivators to infuse their own energy. After all, Primordial Spirit Stones could not exist in such a dark star.
Upon infusing the Power of Gold, the entire interstellar transmission array lit up.
In just over a hundred years, Qin Yu’s muscles had fully reached the fifteen-star Emperor Level, and possibly even higher.
Watching Qin Yu disappear, Meng Long still felt dizzy, "How is that possible? I saw with my own eyes how he couldn’t bear the pressure at the beginning. Could it have been a pretense all along? No, why would he deceive me?" Meng Long couldn’t understand at all why ’Lord Liu Xing’ could cultivate so quickly.

On the Trial Holy Star, one of the thirty-six trial planets, the transmission array in the great hall of the fourteen-star Emperor-level tall building lit up, attracting many people’s attention instantly.
"Lord Liu Xing, hello," Elder Zhi Qiao greeted Qin Yu with a smile, "Lord, have you succeeded in the trial?"
Qin Yu felt somewhat helpless in his heart.
He knew that if he continued to cultivate on each dark star like this, his astonishing speed would definitely shock people.
"Forget it, who cares what others think? Let them think I’m a genius," Qin Yu finally decided, nodding to Elder Zhi Qiao, "Yes."
"Lord Liu Xing, please wait a moment. I will prepare the Fourteen-star Emperor-level token," Elder Zhi Qiao said with a smile.
