Stellar Transformation-Chapter 462: Episode 14 - 35 Second Brother Qin Zheng

Chapter 462: Episode 14 Chapter 35 Second Brother Qin Zheng

"Yes, Master, Qin Zheng already knows that you have returned, and it was for this reason he summoned all the collateral branches of our family to gather at De Garden," Mo Qilin said very honestly.

"It’s enough that Second Brother knows I’m back. I’ll meet with him later; for now, I want to see how the younger generation of the Qin Family is doing," Qin Yu said indifferently.

"As you wish, Master," Mo Qilin responded.

With that, Qin Yu calmly walked through the main gate of De Garden. With his understanding of space, how could those guards, who didn’t even reach the Innate Realm, possibly perceive Qin Yu?

Walking along the familiar corridor, Qin Yu took his steps one at a time.

"This is where Big Brother used to live," Qin Yu looked at a courtyard, "but it’s been four thousand years; this place has been renovated many times over." Qin Yu could feel the freshness of the tiles and bricks.

"To think that this place has become forbidden territory, with restrictions against entry by outsiders," Qin Yu couldn’t help but smile.

After wandering through the entire De Garden, which was once Prince Zhen Dong’s residence, Qin Yu found that... the dwellings he had shared with Qin Feng and their father were all guarded; no outsiders were allowed in.

"Second Brother really does cultivate slowly." Qin Yu’s Divine Sense clearly observed his second brother’s current strength – Middle Kongming Stage. Four thousand years, just to reach the Middle Kongming Stage. Such a rate of cultivation was indeed speechless.

Returning to his family home, Qin Yu’s heart remained calm.

The guest residences of the past were now occupied by some of the Qin Family’s collateral branches. In the Tang Dynasty Empire, each of them stood at the peak, yet within the heartland of the clan, every one of them was incredibly modest. These members of the collateral branches knew very well... their status was tied to the support of the Qin Family’s main lineage, and the true strength of the Qin Family was astonishing.

He stopped outside a courtyard.

"Dad, won’t we ever see our brother again?" a familiar voice came through.

"That’s Qin Yutong." Qin Yu’s feet shifted, and he stepped into the courtyard.

At the moment, Qin Yutong was talking with her father.

"Yutong, don’t think too much about it; this is an order from the sole existing Supreme Second Elder of our Qin Family. It’s not just our branch; other branches have also sent their elite disciples away," Qin Yutong’s father, Qin Fulan, sighed helplessly.

Qin Yu was slightly taken aback.

The sole existing Supreme Second Elder?

"I understand," Qin Yutong’s face showed a hint of resignation, then she looked at her father, "Father, have you ever met the Supreme Second Elder?"

"I’ve seen him once. You should also know the identity of the Supreme Second Elder; he was the very first Emperor of our ’Qin Dynasty’ in the truest sense," Qin Fulan said with a sigh.

Awe appeared in Qin Yutong’s eyes as she said, "Of course I know about the Supreme Second Elder, not just him, but also the Supreme Elder, who once led the Qin Dynasty’s armies to sweep across Liu He, with none daring to block their path. And the most formidable is the Supreme Third Elder, said to possess abilities that reach to the heavens and was the first person from our Qin Family to ascend to the Immortal Realm."

"Yet, the Supreme Third Elder’s strength is even more terrifying than you think. Even some of the powers within the Chaotic Star Sea treat the Qin Family with such care because of the Supreme Third Elder," Qin Fulan lamented, "I grew up listening to the tales of the Supreme Third Elder, ah, such a true genius."

"Didn’t I also grow up listening to the achievements of the Supreme Third Elder? The first from the Hidden Dragon Continent to reach the Innate Realm through Outer Strength, entering the Cultivation Realm in just twenty short years... It’s really unbelievable. To reach the Innate Realm through Outer Strength, that must have taken so much hardship. Now those martial arts nobles flaunt their achievements in front of me, each one relying on their fortune, thinking they are something else. Compared to the Supreme Third Elder, those people are truly..." Qin Yutong’s eyes held some disdain.

Listening to the conversation from the side, Qin Yu couldn’t help but laugh.

So it turns out, this Supreme Third Elder they are talking about... is none other than me!

"It’s a pity that it’s too difficult to reach the Innate Realm through Outer Strength. It is said that our clan selects ten outstanding disciples every generation to practice Outer Strength, but in the past four thousand years, almost everyone has reached the peak of their Outer Strength and can’t progress any further. Only one has succeeded, and that’s your Uncle Qin Shitian... However, I’ve heard that the Cultivation Technique practiced by the Supreme Third Elder is extremely powerful!" Qin Fulan said.

"Uncle Qin Shitian, I know him. All the youngsters from the various Qin Families admire him. He has been the only successor to the Supreme Third Elder over these years," Qin Yutong sighed.

Hearing this, Qin Yu was taken aback.

Star Transformation has a successor? Qin Yu’s Divine Sense immediately covered the entire De Garden. He initially released his Divine Sense only to find his second brother and had not observed others carefully.

This time as he looked, Qin Yu easily found the one practicing the Star Transformation Cultivation Technique.

"Early-stage Star Nebula, reaching this realm in nearly forty years is also quite good." Qin Yu suddenly found the man called ’Qin Shitian’.

"Yutong, when are you going to get married? Dad can hardly wait. To be honest, among those young men pursuing you, there are indeed some good ones," Qin Fulan said with a smile.

Qin Yutong shook her head, "Not for now. I don’t ask for my future husband to have the determination or talent like the Supreme Third Elder, just one-tenth would suffice. As for those noblemen..."

Qin Yu was taken aback for a moment, then laughed: "Interesting, interesting."

"Who are you?" Qin Yutong was surprised to find a black-clothed young man standing not far away.

Qin Fulan also turned around and saw the black-clothed young man. He spoke modestly: "You must also be a member of our Qin Family, right?" Qin Fulan knew... even Cultivators couldn’t just barge into the Qin Family’s De Garden. Because inside the De Garden was a ’Guardian Clan Beast,’ and nearly everyone in the Qin Family had heard about it.

"Yes, I am a member of the Qin Family." Qin Yu nodded with a smile, his eyes turning to Qin Yutong, "Little girl, sometimes the expectations for a husband need not be too high; suitable is enough."

"Little girl?" Qin Yutong widened her eyes, "How much older are you than me?"

"I’m much older than you," Qin Yu said with a light smile.

However, Qin Fulan had been drumming inside his heart. He could sense the special aura emanating from Qin Yu, one that merged with the universe as one. Even the one time he met the ’Supreme Second Elder,’ he felt that the Supreme Second Elder was probably not as exceptional as the person before him.

"He might be one of our Qin Family’s Independent Immortals," Qin Fulan thought to himself. Over four thousand years, the Qin Family also had some Independent Immortal experts.

Just then, another person walked into the courtyard.

"Qin Fulan," the newcomer said indifferently.

"Envoy, sir." As soon as Qin Fulan saw who it was, he immediately bowed. Even Qin Yutong bowed.

The Qin Family clan had Guardian Envoys, and these Guardian Envoys were divided into three levels: the Golden Robed Guardian was the lowest, the Blue-clothed Guardian was slightly higher, and the highest was the Black-robed Guardian.

Even the lowest-level Golden Robed Guardian had at least reached the Nascent Soul Stage.

"The Family Head orders that in one hour, everyone should attend the banquet at the ’Fengwan Hall,’" said the Golden Robed Envoy. He then turned and left, as if he hadn’t seen Qin Yu at all.

After the envoy left, Qin Fulan and Qin Yutong straightened up.

"Eh, why did it seem like the envoy didn’t see me just now?" Qin Yutong looked at Qin Yu in confusion. If Qin Yu held a high status, the Golden Robed Envoy would have at least greeted him, and if Qin Yu’s status were low, he should have at least greeted the Golden Robed Envoy. But the Golden Robed Envoy didn’t even glance at Qin Yu from beginning to end, which was puzzling.

Qin Yu walked to a stone bench to the side, sat down, and said, "If I want him to see me, he will see me. If I don’t want him to see me, he won’t be able to see me." Then he took out a wine jug, took a sip, and said, "Mm, the wine from Yan Capital City is still the best."

Qin Yutong and Qin Fulan looked at each other, unable to utter a word.

Standing in front of others, is there such a Divine Skill that one can choose to be seen or unseen at will? I’ve never heard of it.

Qin Yu, however, was drinking wine in the courtyard with great enjoyment.

An hour later, within Fengwan Hall.

At this moment, Fengwan Hall was filled with many members from the various branches of the Qin Family, with dozens of tables fully occupied, one could imagine the crowd. However, all of them were not touching their chopsticks because the Clan Leader had yet to arrive.

Qin Yu also sat at a corner table in Fengwan Hall.

The Qin Family only checked invitations at the entrance, but soon ceased to do so, as everyone knew that on the Hidden Dragon Continent, no one dared to cause trouble for the Qin Family.

Since some collateral branches brought one person, some two, and others three, there were still a great many banquet seats prepared. Qin Yu was seated among them, and to outsiders, Qin Yu seemed to be just another person from a collateral branch.

"Family Head has arrived!" announced a Golden Robed Envoy at the front of Fengwan Hall. Instantly, everyone stood up.

Followed by four Blue-clothed Guardians, the current Family Head of the Qin Family entered from the back hall. Steadiness shone in his eyes, and Qin Yu nodded to himself. This Family Head was not very powerful, merely at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today is a great day of joy!" The first words of the Family Head caused a moment of puzzled surprise among the other branch members.

Because everyone remembered that not long ago, the Supreme Second Elder had personally ordered all the collateral branches to send their elite disciples to De Garden, to hide those elite disciples in various places, preserving the Qin Family’s lineage. He had also declared that the Qin Family was facing a great danger, and all the collateral branches must stay alert. Yet now, the Family Head was announcing a "great day of joy."

Despite the shock, the crowd below remained silent.

"Rest assured, everyone," the Family Head proclaimed loudly. "The Supreme Second Elder personally ordered the return of the elite disciples to their respective branches. And the Supreme Second Elder... will soon arrive in Fengwan Hall."

Even the composed ones among the crowd began to murmur at this news.

"The Supreme Second Elder is coming soon? Did I hear that right?"

"Really, the Supreme Second Elder is coming?"

...

Qin Fulan had only seen the Supreme Second Elder once in his lifetime, and that was because he led one of the Qin Family’s collateral branches. Among those present in the hall, less than ten had seen the Supreme Second Elder.

"Silence," a voice rang out from the side entrance of Fengwan Hall, and a figure clad in black strode in.

Everyone quieted down immediately.

It was said that the Qin Family’s Guardian Envoys were divided into three levels: Golden Robed, Blue-clothed, and Black-robed. The black level was the highest, and even the weakest among them reached the Kongming Stage, with the strongest reaching the Tribulation Crossing Stage.

Ahead, three Black-robed Envoys cleared the way, and an elegant young man in a light yellow robe entered.

"Supreme Second Elder," the Family Head greeted with respect.

The position of the Family Head of the Qin Family changed every hundred years, but the seats of the three Supreme Elders were permanent. Any one of them held far more power than the Family Head.

"Supreme Second Elder," the crowd below finally came to their senses and bowed respectfully.

Only one person did not bow—it was Qin Yu.

"Big Brother," Qin Yu simply nodded his head.

Qin Zheng, upon seeing Qin Yu, was filled with surprise, but as he was a former Emperor who had ruled the Qin Family for four thousand years, he quickly suppressed the excitement in his heart and nodded back at Qin Yu.

Several nearby Guardians were about to rebuke Qin Yu for not bowing.

"There’s no need to be rash," Qin Zheng’s Spiritual Communication echoed in their minds.

After everyone from the collateral branches had straightened up, Qin Zheng addressed them with a smile, "Ladies and gentlemen, our Qin Family faced a crisis not too long ago, but the danger has now passed. The elite disciples are being reassigned, and I believe they will all return to their respective homes within a month. You can rest easy now."

Hearing the Supreme Second Elder addressing them personally, the leaders of the various collateral branches finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The so-called ’crisis’ from the days before had them on edge like frightened birds.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please enjoy the banquet," Qin Zheng said. He then walked down toward the crowd.

The guests were so thrilled to see Qin Zheng approaching that they were at a loss for words. Qin Zheng merely nodded and smiled, making his way toward Qin Yu’s table.

"Big Brother, you’ve managed everything quite well; the descendants of our Qin Family must number over ten thousand by now," Qin Yu stood up as he spoke.

"To be exact, there are now over eighty thousand in the Qin Family," Qin Zheng replied.

Qin Yu approached Qin Zheng, "Big Brother!"

"Little Brother," Qin Zheng looked directly at Qin Yu.

Qin Yutong, sitting at the same table as Qin Yu, was stunned by their conversation.

"Everyone, I hope what you’ve heard today does not leave this room," Qin Zheng glanced around Fengwan Hall.

Then, Qin Yu and Qin Zheng, two brothers, left Fengwan Hall side by side. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"Dad, did I mishear just now?" Qin Yutong looked at her father, Qin Fulan, whose eyes also showed disbelief: "If I heard correctly, then he is the legendary Supreme Third Elder."

"He, the Supreme Third Elder?" Qin Yutong suddenly remembered the conditions she had talked about in front of Qin Yu regarding a husband and blushed.

The leaders of the various collateral branches inside Fengwan Hall grew excited. The Supreme Third Elder had returned? What danger could there be? They were ecstatic, and everyone felt at ease.

Qin Yu had called Qin Zheng "Big Brother" in front of everyone to reassure all the clan members.

With his own power, there was no need for secrecy.
