Stellar Transformation-Chapter 448: Episode 14 - 21 Jiang Lan Realm Level 2
The distant mountains had vanished, leaving behind only heaps of shattered rocks reduced to rubble by the thorough destruction. A gentle breeze blew, sending fragments dancing in the wind. Seeing the scene before them, Hou Fei and Hei Yu exchanged a glance and both laughed.
"Big Brother, let’s not talk about the Dao for now. Our soul realm is only at the level of a Ninth-level Demon Emperor, how much do you expect us to comprehend?" Hou Fei said helplessly.
Qin Yu nodded slightly.
He knew that his own achievements within a mere 3,000 years were largely thanks to the Meteor Tear, that is, the help of ’Zuo Qiumei’. It was impressive enough that Feifei and Little Black had some understanding of spear techniques and staff techniques.
"Let’s go, down we go."
With a move, Qin Yu descended to the area below.
Near a thick tree, everyone gathered around a large table, eating, drinking, and chatting with laughter. Qin Yu also began to talk about his cultivation experiences over the years, though of course... he did not mention the name Zuo Qiumei.
Because Qin Yu remembered very clearly that Zuo Qiumei had said unless he fully comprehended what she had left behind, he should not speak the name Zuo Qiumei.
"Qin Yu, what level have you reached in your understanding of the Space Law? And what level is your soul now?" Wu Lan suddenly asked.
Qin Yu turned to look at Wu Lan. Wu Lan asked such a question, clearly knowing quite a bit, so Qin Yu inquired, "Wu Lan, do you know the different levels of the soul?"
"The soul, once it reaches Soul Great Perfection, will condense into a Golden Core, which is the Soul Golden Core level for ordinary Divine Beings. Above this level is ’Nascent Soul’. When your soul takes the form of an infant, that is truly formidable. However, based on everything you’ve just shown, it’s quite clear your soul level should be extremely high, probably reaching the level of Soul Golden Core, right?" Wu Lan asked.
Qin Yu nodded.
Soul Golden Core?
Before his comprehension of the Laws related to space, Qin Yu had already reached the level of Soul Golden Core Realm. Qin Yu even believed that his current Soul Golden Core was more than ten times stronger than what it was three thousand years ago.
"The Space Law is supreme, and the path to understanding it is long, very long. Actually, just by looking at the soul realm, one can tell how much they have comprehended the Space Law... Once your soul surpasses the ’Nascent Soul’ level, you are probably completely understanding the Space Law. However, I have never seen someone who has completely understood the Space Law during my many years in the Divine World. Such a person can kill billions of me with just a thought," said Wu Lan with a sigh.
Hou Fei and Hei Yu were startled.
They were very clear about Wu Lan’s strength, but the existence that had fully comprehended the Space Law, able to obliterate billions of Wu Lans with a single thought, was terrifyingly powerful.
"Hmm... At that level, just a flicker of intention could cause heaven and earth to shatter," Qin Yu nodded in agreement.
Qin Yu understood very well the strength that came with a full comprehension of the Space Law. Because the insights passed to him by Zuo Qiumei, he had only grasped a tenth or so of them. And moreover... the Meteor Tear was just a small part. What the Meteor Tear passed on to Qin Yu was likely just a part of the Laws contained within it.
Wu Lan had already mentioned the matter.
When one’s comprehension of space reached a certain level, the soul could progress from the ’Soul Golden Core’ realm to the ’Nascent Soul’ realm. The Nascent Soul Realm is still on the path of comprehending the Space Law; only transcending the Nascent Soul level does one truly comprehend it.
The length of the cultivation path was clear to see.
"Soul Golden Core, Nascent Soul... How long will that take?" Qin Yu thought to himself. He currently felt no indication that his Soul Golden Core was nearing the ’Nascent Soul’ stage; clearly, it was still far off.
Seeing Qin Yu like this, Wu Lan chuckled and said, "Qin Yu, don’t think too much about it. Your current strength... just with your understanding of space alone, you would be unmatched across the Immortal, Demon, and Demon Worlds."
"Unmatched?" Qin Yu smiled, "Hard to say. I am not too concerned about the Peng Demon Emperor and the Great Ape Emperor, but for the Dragon Emperor’s defense, I am not completely confident I can breach it."
The Peng Demon Emperor was fast, but Qin Yu could, through his control of space, drastically reduce the Peng Demon Emperor’s speed.
Without his absolute speed, the Peng Demon Emperor had no hope whatsoever against Qin Yu’s attacks.
As for the Great Ape Emperor? The Great Ape Emperor’s strength lay in his Heaven Shattering Stick technique, yet Qin Yu’s comprehension of the spear technique was even stronger than his. How could the Great Ape Emperor compete with Qin Yu?
It was only the Dragon Emperor, with his abnormally strong defense, that posed a question. Whether Qin Yu’s strongest attack could break through the Dragon Emperor’s defenses was still uncertain.
"It’s not just the Dragon Emperor, but also the Three Great Sovereigns of the Dark Star Realm that I’m unsure about," Qin Yu said thoughtfully, "The Three Great Sovereigns of the Dark Star Realm all possess Inheritance Treasures. They’re already incredibly tough without using their Inheritance Treasures, and once they do, I reckon... they might even be stronger than the Dragon Emperor."
The group around the dining table fell into quiet contemplation.
"Are they really that strong?" Hei Tong muttered doubtfully.
Wu Lan, Hou Fei, Hei Yu, and Ye Qu, however, were deep in thought, considering the words Qin Yu had just spoken.
Seeing everyone like this, Qin Yu couldn’t help but laugh, "Haha, I did emphasize that they are quite formidable. But whether their defense can withstand my attack is still yet to be seen, right?" Qin Yu looked at Hou Fei, "Feifei, you should know the power of the ’Heaven Shattering Stick’ from your Ape Clan."
Hou Fei confidently said, "The Heaven Shattering Stick, if I can execute it properly, can even smash Upper Grade Divine Artifacts."
Qin Yu smiled and said, "And my understanding of space is much stronger than the law contained within the Heaven Shattering Stick. If I were to attack... with my strongest attack, the likelihood of them withstanding it is not great."
"Haha, there’s still a considerable gap compared to Big Brother. I won’t compete with Big Brother anymore, as long as I can trounce Mixed Feathered Bird that will be enough," Hou Fei said with a playful laugh.
"Who’s trouncing whom now?" Hei Yu countered.
Hou Fei was momentarily at a loss for words.
"Haha..." Everyone at the table burst into laughter.
After the meal, Qin Yu, Hou Fei, and Hei Yu, the three brothers, took a leisurely walk on the mountain path.
"Big Brother, how is your progress with the Star Transformation Technique?" Hei Yu asked, with Hou Fei also looking towards Qin Yu.
Qin Yu was taken aback.
The Star Transformation Technique?
After finishing three thousand years of cultivation, Qin Yu had rushed to the Jiang Lan Realm and had yet to enter the ’Star Space’ to have a good look at what level his Star Transformation Technique had reached.
Qin Yu stopped walking, his consciousness directly entering the Star Space.
Inside the Star Space.
The Star Space was still as vast as ever, yet its volume had greatly increased since Qin Yu’s last visit, with countless ’Glue’ energies seeping through the thin membrane between the ’Star Space’ and the outer ’Glue Space’, constantly permeating in, assimilating into that central... dark gold sphere.
"It has turned into this? Last time I checked, it was still golden." Qin Yu immediately controlled the dark gold sphere to shoot out a strand of Power.
Qin Yu carefully felt the essence of that energy.
"The power is much greater than before, even stronger than my current Nine Transmutations Force and Power of Gold," Qin Yu couldn’t help but feel elated. Once the Nine-Transformation Dark Gold Body reached the Ninth Layer, both the Nine Transmutations Force and the Power of Gold could match the energy of an ordinary Eighth-Level Immortal Emperor. But now, Qin Yu’s Origin Power was even stronger than theirs!
Suddenly, Qin Yu recalled something, "Perhaps now I can open the second layer of the Jiang Lan Realm!"
The Jiang Lan Realm had three layers, and Qin Yu had only unlocked the first layer so far. According to Uncle Lan, he must fully open all three layers before he, Qin Yu, would be qualified to meet Li’er.
"Big Brother, what’s the matter?" Hei Yu looked at Qin Yu with confusion.
"I’ll try to see if I can open the second layer of the Jiang Lan Realm." With a thought in his mind, Qin Yu’s dark gold Origin Power directly merged into the main body of the Jiang Lan Realm, continuously integrating his Origin Power into it.
Hou Fei and Hei Yu watched quietly.
Time ticked by.
"This might work." Qin Yu felt his consciousness hazily touch the threshold of the second layer of the Jiang Lan Realm and immediately stimulated more Origin Power to pour into it.
"Boom!"
Qin Yu found himself enlightened, sensing the existence of two spaces within the Jiang Lan Realm. One was the first layer of the Jiang Lan Realm, and the other was the second layer.
"Uncle Lan?"
Qin Yu was overjoyed, and then he vanished into thin air.
"Where did Big Brother go?" Hou Fei and Hei Yu watched as Qin Yu disappeared abruptly and could not help being astonished.
******
The interior of the Jiang Lan Realm contained three vast spaces, and Qin Yu had just moved directly from the first space of the Jiang Lan Realm to the second space.
Within the second space of the Jiang Lan Realm.
The space appeared desolate, and Qin Yu materialized out of nowhere. There was a figure standing in front of him, the calm and profound gaze, the serene aura that made one feel at peace, it was unmistakable who it was.
"Uncle Lan." A look of surprise covered Qin Yu’s face.
Uncle Lan was as calm as ever, smiling faintly at Qin Yu, "Little Yu, congratulations on unlocking the second space. Your cultivation speed is indeed very fast."
"Uncle Lan, is this your image or your consciousness?" Qin Yu inquired.
"Being able to talk to you, what do you think?" Uncle Lan said with a slight smile, "Little Yu, I wanted to ask you something."
"Please do, Uncle Lan," Qin Yu waited silently.
Uncle Lan opened his mouth as if to speak, then shook his head with a long sigh, unexpectedly unable to voice his thoughts. Qin Yu couldn’t help but be shocked; Uncle Lan, whom he always thought unflappable even if the sky were to fall, seemed to be at a loss for words.
"Your soul has congealed into a Golden Core, hasn’t it?" Uncle Lan finally asked.
"Yes," Qin Yu nodded, staring wide-eyed at Uncle Lan, "Is that what you wanted to ask, Uncle Lan?" Qin Yu didn’t think there was anything difficult to speak about concerning this question.
Uncle Lan gave a self-deprecating smile, and his eyes seemed to shimmer with what looked like tears. But when Qin Yu looked carefully, he found no tears in Uncle Lan’s eyes and wondered if his eyes were playing tricks on him.
"Having your soul congealed into a Golden Core, you must have received some of her teachings," Uncle Lan sighed heavily and then fell silent.
"Her?" Qin Yu was taken aback.
Could Uncle Lan know of that ’Zuo Qiumei’?
Uncle Lan soon regained his composure, smiling faintly at Qin Yu, "Let’s not speak of that. Qin Yu, keep striving hard. With your continued efforts, you will eventually be together with Li’er. No one can stop you, I guarantee it!" Uncle Lan patted Qin Yu’s shoulder with a resolute gaze.
Qin Yu could feel how strong the hand on his shoulder was.
A guarantee from Uncle Lan? Qin Yu was momentarily stunned.
"But the most important thing is that you need to strive on your own; my help alone is not sufficient. Li’er is also making an effort. She used to dislike cultivation, but now she’s also striving in her practice. However, her power is not yet enough to leave the Divine World freely," Uncle Lan revealed a bit about Li’er’s situation.
A wave of excitement surged through Qin Yu.
He suddenly knew... Li’er was also working hard.
"I will strive," Qin Yu’s fists clenched involuntarily.
Uncle Lan nodded approvingly, then turned into nothingness, leaving only a voice behind, "Qin Yu, work hard. When you unlock the third layer of the Jiang Lan Realm, I’ll find a way for you to meet Li’er."
Qin Yu nodded, feeling invigorated throughout his body at that moment.
"Thank you, Uncle Lan." Once calm, Qin Yu thought to himself.
Qin Yu knew that from being just a minor character in the Mortal World, Uncle Lan must have expended a great deal of effort to let him be with Li’er. Qin Yu could imagine some of it, after all.
"The next step is to go to the Fourteen-star Emperor Level Dark Star and retrieve that green liquid from the Cold Pond. Then, to the Mishen Palace!" Qin Yu vowed mentally, determined to do anything that could be of help to him in the Divine World in the future.
******
Qin Yu returned directly to the first space of the Jiang Lan Realm and gathered a large group of people, including Wu Lan and Ye Qu,
"Qin Yu, what do you need us for?" Wu Lan asked with a smile, while the others around were curious about why Qin Yu had gathered everyone. Hou Fei and Hei Yu, who already knew that Qin Yu had opened the second layer of the Jiang Lan Realm, were smiling from ear to ear.
Qin Yu declared, "Just now, I have opened the second layer of the Jiang Lan Realm. In this second space of the Jiang Lan Realm, spending a hundred years inside equates to only a year outside. Moreover, the concentration of Primordial Spirit Qi is a hundred times that of the outside world. Anyone wanting to go in, please let me know."
"A hundred years inside to a year outside?" Ye Qu’s eyes brightened, spurred on by the rapid cultivation progress of Hou Fei and Hei Yu; he had already begun obsessively cultivating. Now given this great opportunity, how could he pass it up? Ye Qu immediately spoke up, "I wish to enter the second space for cultivation."
Wu Lan also nodded with a laugh, "Count me in as well; my Soul Realm could indeed use some improvement."
Qin Yu looked around and finally nodded, "Alright, Wu Lan and Ye Qu will temporarily enter the second space of the Jiang Lan Realm for cultivation. Anyone else who wishes to go in can tell me."
