Qin Dynasty Capital, within the Thunder Mountain Residence’s practice room in Yu Royal Mansion.

Qin Yu silently sat cross-legged inside.

Li’er’s somber departure, Zhou Xian’s assertive arrival, and everything Uncle Lan said when he left. Having experienced all this, Qin Yu now felt a profound emptiness in his heart, unburdened. What he needed to do now was to quietly cultivate and rapidly enhance his own power.

If he wished to increase his strength, he first needed to understand his own body!

"When Zhou Xian used the green ripple attack, my body withstood it longer than the energy from the ’True Solar Core,’ and it felt as though every part of my body automatically had a refreshing stream that repaired my injuries," Qin Yu was still puzzled by that scene.

After the transformations by the Meteor Tear, Qin Yu’s body indeed rivaled a cultivator at the Great Success Stage, but even so, his body should not have withstood the green ripple for long. However, Qin Yu persisted, and eventually succeeded, all thanks to—recovery power.

Moreover, the power consumed by the True Solar Core restored itself in just a moment, not only healing physical injuries but also replenishing exhausted power. It was truly miraculous.

Meteor Tear inherently had healing capabilities, something Qin Yu had known for a while.

But the repair of his body and power did not come from Meteor Tear itself, but from every corner of his body. At the moment of injury, it seemed as if every part of his body generated a stream that rapidly healed his injuries.

Qin Yu carefully introspected every part of his body, observing his muscles and bones in greater detail.

The deeper he observed, the finer the details became. As he continued, the secrets of his body’s and power’s rapid repair gradually unfolded before him.

"What is this?" Qin Yu was shocked.

Upon clear introspection, he discovered that in the microscopic world of muscles and bones, every part, even every muscle cell, contained some green luminescence.

This green luminescence was completely integrated into the deepest parts of the body, not just the muscles and bones, but even the ’planet’ on the surface of his Dantian also contained mysterious green luminescence. This green luminescence was entirely different from any green seen on ’planet stage’ planets.

At Qin Yu’s thought, a green light cluster in one part of his body flew out from his palm as if it were energy itself.

"What exactly is this green light cluster?" Qin Yu murmured softly as he looked at the green luminescence in his palm.

"Eh." While Qin Yu was puzzled, he suddenly discovered that the Meteor Tear on his chest had floated out a green light spot, which directly flew to the area from which Qin Yu had collected the green light cluster, replenishing the green energy there.

"It’s the Meteor Tear!"

Qin Yu’s eyes brightened, "Just as I thought, this mysterious green energy is related to the Meteor Tear. Ever since I absorbed the Meteor Tear into my body, it has been out of my control, but now... I can at least control this green energy."

At Qin Yu’s thought, the calligraphy brush he had accepted into his body through blood recognition flew out. However, its current form was that of a short sword. Although its true form was a brush, left behind by the Immortal Emperor Ni Yang, its attack power was stronger than that of an ordinary Middle Grade Immortal Sword.

Qin Yu took the Middle Grade Immortal Artifact short sword and fiercely slashed at his own arm, struggling a bit with the Middle Grade Immortal Artifact before making a large cut. Blood flowed out continuously, but the pain only caused Qin Yu to slightly furrow his brow.

"Now, let’s see if the healing capabilities are indeed due to this green light cluster." Qin Yu immediately controlled the green light clusters within his body not to heal.

Qin Yu closely observed the wound.

"Haha, just as expected," Qin Yu’s face showed a hint of joy, "This green energy is the reason for that astonishing recovery power."

Without the repair of the green energy sphere, Qin Yu’s wounds barely healed.

Then, Qin Yu stopped suppressing the green energy sphere, and the green energy immediately merged into Qin Yu’s wounds. In just the blink of an eye, the massive wound was completely healed, with no scars to be seen.

"Phew, what an amazing recovery power," Qin Yu marveled inwardly.

Even though he already knew that the green energy had a remarkable ability to heal injuries, witnessing it firsthand still left Qin Yu greatly shocked.

"Meteor Tear, to this day I still can’t control it actively; this green energy should count as the first type of energy I’ve actively controlled. Since its healing and recovery abilities are so astonishing, let’s call it... Life Essence Power."

As Qin Yu anticipated, after testing, this Life Essence Power not only could rapidly heal injuries, but also restore the internal energy in his body.

This Life Essence Power could be said to surpass any elixirs known for their healing powers.

Qin De, Feng Yuzi, Xu Yuan, Qin Feng, Qin Zheng, at this moment, these five were gathered in a small courtyard within the Yu Royal Mansion. A heavy snow had fallen the previous day, and now the roof and trees of the courtyard were coated with endless snowflakes, the world around them a blanket of white, with a lingering chill in the air.

"Father, Uncle Feng, Uncle Xu, Big Brother, Second Brother, there is something I must tell you," Qin Yu said with a calm smile on his face, but his tone was slightly somber.

The fact that Qin Yu had called so many people together at once definitely meant there was something important. Qin De and the others could guess as much instantly.

"Yu’er, just speak your mind," Qin De said with a smile. "Your father has lived so many years, I’ve seen all sorts of things, faced life and death many times, don’t worry too much about us."

Qin De was trying to ease Qin Yu’s tension.

"Father, it’s not as bad as it sounds, to be precise, on my last trip to the Immortal Mansion, I acquired a treasure, a very precious treasure."

"Targeted by someone else?" Xu Yuan asked slowly.

"Yes, I’ve obtained an ink and wash painting, which holds a very significant secret that could make all the Independent Immortals, Independent Demons, and even those at the level of Twelve Tribulations Independent Immortals, envious," Qin Yu said with a wry smile.

Now, Qin Yu actually felt the painting was more of a burden.

If Lady Yan Ji and Yan Mo had kept the secret, he wouldn’t have been in any danger, but... a few days ago, when he communicated with Yan Mo, Yan Mo told him bluntly that the painting was given to the Dragon Clan!

That made things complicated.

"Twelve Tribulations Independent Immortal, Independent Demon?" Feng Yuzi exclaimed in surprise. Currently, Feng Yuzi had reached the Nascent Soul Realm, but the legendary Twelve Tribulations Independent Immortals and Independent Demons were beings beyond reach in legends.

Qin Yu nodded helplessly: "Yes, things are a bit troublesome."

Xu Yuan also frowned.

"When the strength of the opponent far exceeds one’s own, all strategies are futile. However, Uncle Xu did not know that Qin Yu had three trump cards and was not afraid of these at all."

"This situation has become troublesome," Qin De frowned, while Qin Feng and Qin Zheng also started to feel some distress at this moment.

"Right, Little Yu, what realm is your Uncle Lan in?" Uncle Xu suddenly asked.

Qin Yu smiled and said, "Uncle Lan’s strength absolutely surpasses that of a Twelve Tribulations Independent Immortal."

Qin Zheng, his second brother, smiled, "Little Yu, then it seems simple. With Uncle Lan... there shouldn’t be any significant danger."

"If he were here, that would indeed be the case, but... now he has left, left the Mortal World," Qin Yu shook his head.

"He left the Mortal World?" Feng Yuzi exclaimed, "Could it be... Uncle Lan has surpassed the last step from being a Twelve Tribulations Independent Immortal and ascended to a First Level Golden Immortal? So he ascended?"

The information about Independent Immortals, Heavenly Immortals, and Golden Immortals had all been told to Feng Yuzi by Qin Yu back when they were chatting at the Yu Royal Mansion; otherwise, Feng Yuzi would not have known these things given his status.

"Ascension, yes... you could understand it that way, but in short, Uncle Lan won’t be coming back," Qin Yu said, unsure of how to explain and could only give a vague explanation.

"With Uncle Lan not being here, then..." Qin Zheng frowned and muttered.

Qin Yu smiled and said, "Father, don’t worry. I didn’t gather everyone here because I’m worried about this matter. Back in the day at Qingxu Temple on the Tenglong Continent, four Independent Immortals once attacked my Star Pavilion, but were stopped by Uncle Lan. Uncle Lan found the ’Complete Heaven Star Formation’ of the Star Pavilion wasn’t powerful enough, so he modified it. The current ’Complete Heaven Star Formation’ is one that even Twelve Tribulations Independent Immortals cannot break through."

This matter was later told to Qin Yu by Zhuang Zhong.

The original Complete Heaven Star Formation was already sufficient to resist the attacks of Eight Tribulations Independent Immortals. After Uncle Lan’s modifications, the Complete Heaven Star Formation absorbed nature’s spiritual energy to form an incredibly stunning defensive and illusion array.

Even Twelve Tribulations Independent Immortals wouldn’t dream of breaking in.

"Yu’er, you mean for us to..." Qin De had already guessed it.

"Yes, I want you, father, to move into the Star Pavilion for a while, the scenery there is quite nice anyway. I suspect that in this period, the Tenglong Continent will experience turbulent changes, and even the Hidden Dragon Continent may fall into chaos," Qin Yu spoke solemnly.

Qin De smiled, "I don’t mind, having become a Cultivator, I am unconcerned about infinity, let alone that period of time. However... I am worried about Zheng’er."

Qin Zheng gave a wry smile as he looked at Qin Yu, "Little Yu, why don’t you let Father, Big Brother, Uncle Feng, and Uncle Xu go to the Star Pavilion first? After all, I am the Emperor of the Qin Dynasty, how could I possibly leave abruptly?"

Qin Yu understood this logic, and for this, he had already prepared.

"Second Brother, Thunder Mountain Residence itself is made of extremely rare ores, possessing astonishing defensive power, and also includes a defensive array," he said.

Thunder Mountain Residence, was forged by Lei Wei as he soared through the universe, collecting top-grade ores. Of course, its defense was high.

"Second Brother, immediately construct an underground space behind your sleeping quarters. I will place Thunder Mountain Residence there. If danger arises, you can hide inside Thunder Mountain Residence and be at least safer," Qin Yu spoke gravely.

Now that Qin Yu had the Qingyu Immortal Mansion, which in terms of defense and other aspects, far exceeded Thunder Mountain Residence, he could afford to leave the Thunder Mountain Residence within the Imperial Palace.

...

"Father, I will arrange for someone to take you to the Star Pavilion immediately, and I... am also preparing to head to the Chaotic Star Sea for cultivation. If there’s anything, you can notify me through the Communication Order," Qin Yu said gravely.

Entering the Chaotic Star Sea for cultivation was a decision Qin Yu had made long ago.

Qin Yu’s soul cultivation had already reached the Late Tribulation Crossing, even nearing the Great Success Stage. His personal cultivation, however, was only at the Planet Late Stage, and to rapidly enhance his powers, Qin Yu planned... to kill fierce beasts and refine their inner cores.

Although the Chaotic Star Sea was dangerous, Qin Yu was not afraid.

Qin Yu possessed the Qingyu Immortal Mansion, an Immortal Mansion left behind by Immortal Emperor Ni Yang, not only was it made entirely of Primordial Spirit Stone, which provided extremely high defensive capabilities, but it also had a supremely powerful array formation restriction defense.

Originally, Immortal Emperor Ni Yang had said that the defense restrictions had been left intact, while the powerful attack array formation restrictions were removed. But for Qin Yu, it was already enough.

The defense restrictions set by Immortal Emperor Ni Yang were so strong that not even an Independent Demon would likely break them, let alone a Golden Immortal, for it was the mansion of an Immortal Emperor. This Qingyu Immortal Mansion was indeed a lifeline.

Moreover... Qin Yu also had a Sword Immortal Puppet. Although it only had one Top-Grade Elemental Spirit Stone, it could still exert the strength of a First Level Golden Immortal, and keep in mind that this was a Sword Immortal, the strongest in terms of attack power.

...

Having ordered someone to take his father and the others to the Star Pavilion and handed over the Thunder Mountain Residence to his second brother, Qin Zheng, Qin Yu himself set off alone, rushing towards the Chaotic Star Sea with a Middle Grade Immortal Artifact at full speed.

The Chaotic Star Sea, with towering waves and wildly chaotic nature’s spiritual energy.

Qin Yu, riding a Flying Sword transformed from a brush, weaved through the towering waves. Numerous fierce beasts rushed by from afar, and Qin Yu wouldn’t even bother with those whose powers were below the Tribulation Crossing Stage.

"Mid Tribulation Crossing fierce beast!"

Qin Yu spotted a giant silver crab, its blood-red eyes glaring at him as if the crab was oblivious to the threat Qin Yu posed.

"Cultivator, prepare yourself for death!" said the crab, its intelligence now sufficient to converse like a normal person, having reached the Mid Tribulation Crossing Stage.

"I haven’t even decided to act, and you already want to kill me," Qin Yu said with a wry smile, then suddenly turned into a rainbow light shooting towards the silver crab, at a speed that was shockingly fast.

At first, it was just a black rainbow light, but in a moment, it changed into a purple flame.

"Ah, it’s heavenly fire..." The crab didn’t have time to escape and was engulfed by the Skyfire Domain immediately, reducing to ashes in mere moments, while its inner core fell into Qin Yu’s hand.

Even Lady Yan Ji, back then, could only withstand two or three blooms of heavenly fire. Now, in the Skyfire Domain, how could a Mid Tribulation Crossing fierce beast possibly escape?

"Black Flame Lord, comparable to Immortal Emperor Ni Yang, is indeed powerful. The energy of fire in this Black Flame Monarch’s Ring is truly formidable. It’s a pity I’m too weak to trigger more than a small part of its energy, just enough to produce a few meters radius of heavenly fire," Qin Yu said with a smile to the Black Flame Monarch’s Ring, then turned into a rainbow light and continued forward.
