"Brother Qin Yu, it is said that Lord Wu Kongxue attacked your Star Pavilion but apparently didn’t breach the Defense Array of the Star Pavilion. Brother Qin Yu, is the Defense Array of your Star Pavilion really that powerful?" Lady Yan Ji inquired.

In the current Yin Yue Palace, with more than a thousand Sixth Tribulation Independent Demons, Lady Yan Ji, despite her glory of having seized the Sky-breaking Map, was just an ordinary Independent Demon. She was quite curious about why Wu Kongxue failed to break through the defense array outside the Star Pavilion.

A thought crossed Qin Yu’s mind, and he immediately answered, "Yan Ji, the Defense Array of the Star Pavilion was personally laid out by my Uncle Lan. It’s called the ’Complete Heaven Star Formation,’ and within our sect, this formation is considered quite powerful. The reason why it’s considered powerful is that the requirements for the one controlling the formation are not high."

"Your sect?" Curiosity rose in Lady Yan Ji’s heart.

Ever since top Independent Demons like Wu Kongxue had suffered losses outside the Defense Array of the Star Pavilion, they started to pay attention to the Independent Immortal behind the Star Pavilion. If she, Lady Yan Ji, could obtain some information about Uncle Lan, wouldn’t that be a great achievement?

"Brother Qin Yu, what is the name of your sect?" Lady Yan Ji asked Qin Yu through a Communication Order.

An idea flashed through Qin Yu’s mind, and he casually made up a name: "Our sect is ’True Yang Sect,’ and Uncle Lan is my master’s junior brother."

"True Yang Sect... What about your master? Do you have other masters’ junior brothers in the Mortal World? What about other fellow sect members?" Lady Yan Ji bombarded him with several questions at once.

Qin Yu answered through the Communication Order as well: "My master has long since ascended. In the Mortal World, I do have a few masters’ junior brothers, and of course, there are even more fellow sect members."

A surge of excitement went through Lady Yan Ji.

The mystery of Qin Yu, the mystery of his sect, the mystery of the Independent Immortal behind the Star Pavilion. Not only True Master Ming Liang but even Wu Kongxue was very eager to know. And Lady Yan Ji felt she was about to unravel the truth.

"True Yang Sect, Brother Qin Yu, I see that your junior sister possesses such a Protective Dharma Treasure, at least a Middle Grade Immortal Artifact, right? With such treasures, and... the Complete Heaven Star Formation. Judging from this, your True Yang Sect must be a big sect, so why has no one heard of it?" Lady Yan Ji inquired.

A trace of a smile appeared on the corner of Qin Yu’s mouth.

"Yan Ji, this is a big secret of my sect; how could I casually tell others?"

Lady Yan Ji felt anxious and quickly transmitted a message: "Brother Qin Yu, what’s the big deal about saying it? After all, no one knows where the True Yang Sect is located, and I am not asking about the strength of your True Yang Sect. You just need to give me a rough idea."

Qin Yu pondered for a long time.

"Yan Ji, forget it, I’ll just give you a rough idea... My True Yang Sect is actually not a sect from this planet, but a cultivation sect from another space. It was just that one of my sect’s ancestors unintentionally passed through a space rift and came to this space, and then entered this planet, where he established the True Yang Sect. It has been passed down for over a hundred thousand years... Yan Ji, as for the location of my True Yang Sect’s mountain gate, I really can’t say, otherwise, my senior sect members would surely confine me."

Qin Yu chuckled secretly to himself.

Regarding the concepts of planets and space, Qin Yu knew about them only from the knowledge left by his master, Lei Wei. He was now freely fabricating them.

Qin Yu said this only to make himself seem even more unfathomable.

"Not from this planet, from another space..."

Lady Yan Ji was completely stunned.

Most Independent Cultivators knew that their world was an extremely large planet, and at the highest point in the sky there were the boarish winds and shattering thunders... Normally, more powerful Independent Cultivators could pass through these layers of wind and thunder to enter the boundless cosmic space.

However... within the universe, the distance between any two planets was incredibly vast.

There had once been an Independent Immortal who flew out of a planet, and in the cosmic space, it was easy to misjudge the direction during instantaneous movement, for what seemed like a short distance between two planets was actually terrifyingly vast upon traveling. It took a hundred years for an Eleventh Tribulation Independent Immortal to fly from the planet where the Tenglong Continent was located to the nearest planet. Even with intermittent use of instantaneous movement, it required an extremely long time.

Moreover, the Independent Cultivators who had reached the nearest planet discovered that other planets were completely desolate, without the slightest sign of life.

"Brother Qin Yu, your sect’s elders were truly formidable back then. The distances between planets in the universe are terrifyingly large, and relying solely on flight and instantaneous movement is indeed too slow in the boundless cosmic space. Your elders actually engaged in interstellar travel... I remember Lady Lian Yue once said that only masters at the level of a Demon King (Golden Immortal) could perform interstellar flights," Lady Yan Ji exclaimed in admiration.

Qin Yu smiled to himself.

In the Nine Sword Immortal Mansion’s Treasure Pavilion on the second floor, he had also obtained some secret books; he naturally knew... common instantaneous movement didn’t cover too great a distance. Instantaneous movement worked fairly well on a single planet, but in the boundless cosmos, it wasn’t very useful.

Reaching the strength of a Demon King (Demon King, Golden Immortal), one could perform interstellar ’Great Teleportation’ divine power.

"Master Lei Wei did not possess the Great Teleportation divine power, nor did he have the Instantaneous Movement divine power. What he relied on was... technology to embark on interstellar adventures." Qin Yu knew in his heart how his master had arrived, for his master’s realm was a planet where technology was the main focus and cultivation a secondary one.

Space jumping technology was definitely on par with Great Teleportation divine power.

Naturally, Qin Yu was happy to let Lady Yan Ji harbor her wild thoughts.

"Yan Ji, we can’t talk anymore, I have already told you so many secrets today." Qin Yu dared not say more, afraid he might blow his cover if he overstated any details.

Putting away the Communication Order, a hint of coldness flashed in Qin Yu’s eyes.

"The primer for the plan has been laid. That Lady Yan Ji will surely share this news with Wu Kongxue and others, right? The reputation of the True Yang Sect, this nonexistent sect, will slowly spread. The three steps of the plan, now officially begins with the first step."

Qin Yu took a deep breath.

His Qin Family had nearly been wiped out, with many of his second brother’s sons and daughters dead, along with many of his wives and concubines. Furthermore, over ten million citizens of the Qin Dynasty had been killed. Qin Yu would not easily embark on a reckless spree of vengeance for this.

He wanted to plunge both the super sects and countless Independent Cultivators into a state of panic.

What he relied on was the Qingyu Immortal Mansion, the Black Flame Monarch’s Ring, and... the Sword Immortal Puppet with only a single Top-Grade Elemental Spirit Stone. How to make effective use of all these to achieve the best result was what Qin Yu needed to do.

...

Qin Yu, Hou Fei, and Hei Yu, the three brothers, flew straight from Xue Yu Island toward the south. The expanse of the sea was so vast that it even exceeded the vastness of the Chaotic Star Sea’s Northern Sea Domain. After months of flight, Qin Yu and his brothers finally saw a large continent in the distance, with lush greenery and nature’s spiritual energy much richer than that of the Hidden Dragon Continent.

The Tenglong Continent had arrived.

In terms of environment, the Tenglong Continent is indeed much better than the Hidden Dragon Continent, due to the rich nature’s spiritual energy here. The flowers and plants are abundant, and the trees are tall and upright. Similarly, the Tenglong Continent also has mortals.

The number of mortals on the Tenglong Continent far exceeds that of the Hidden Dragon Continent.

Mortals are the foundation of cultivators. Out of a thousand mortals, only one can successfully cultivate. There are hundreds of millions of cultivators on the Tenglong Continent, which gives an idea of how terrifyingly high the population of mortals is here. Even so, with its vast territory, the Three Great Dynasties plus the Primordial Wilderness still don’t add up to the size of the Tenglong Continent.

With such a large area, despite the terrifying number of mortal inhabitants, it still feels sparsely populated.

Qin Yu, Hou Fei, and Hei Yu traveled through the clouds.

Now that they’ve arrived at the Tenglong Continent, there’s no need to rush while flying. Although the Tenglong Continent is vast, with the strength of the three brothers, Qin Yu, they could quickly fly to any part of the Tenglong Continent on clouds.

"Big Brother, there really are a lot of mortals here, and there are also a lot of cultivators. In such a short time, I’ve already seen tens of thousands of cultivators. However, the highest one I’ve seen is only in the Cave Void Stage, which is really weak," Hou Fei said, shaking his head.

Qin Yu gave a faint smile.

"It’s not that they are weak, but rather that the strong ones wouldn’t bother wandering around outside; most are within their own sects. Moreover... few independent cultivators come out. Nowadays, I expect most independent cultivators are probably in either the Yin Yue Palace or the Qingxu Temple."

From Lady Yan Ji, Qin Yu also learned that the Yin Yue Palace was gathering a large number of independent cultivators, and it’s likely that the Qingxu Temple would not want to be outdone.

Qin Yu waved his sleeve.

Three Xuanbing Lion Beasts and a Mo Qilin appeared out of nowhere, and in a flash, the four divine beasts transformed into human forms. Of course, it wasn’t that the four divine beasts wanted to transform; they had just received a spiritual communication from Qin Yu, requesting them to take on human forms.

Shi Xin and his comrades were Great Success Stage Divine Beasts, and in terms of strength, they were comparable to Sixth Tribulation independent cultivators. Once they used the Xuan Eye Bead or Sword Pointed Cone, the three of them together could even defeat Eighth Tribulation independent immortals.

Qin Yu possessed a body with almost frighteningly powerful recovery abilities, which could be called an undying body. His body alone was enough to defeat ordinary Great Success Stage Divine Beasts, which meant that just by relying on his physical strength, Qin Yu was on par with Sixth Tribulation independent cultivators.

Furthermore, Qin Yu possessed two major domains from the Black Flame Monarch’s Ring, the Skyfire Domain, which had shocking attack power, and the Gravity Domain, which was unexpectedly powerful. He also possessed a Middle Grade Immortal Artifact with astonishing attack power. Just these three items alone were sufficient for Qin Yu to defeat Shi Xin and his comrades, which indicates that Qin Yu’s strength is definitely not inferior to that of an ordinary Eighth Tribulation independent cultivator.

Hou Fei and Hei Yu.

These two brothers of Qin Yu were at least High-level Divine Beasts. In terms of individual strength, each of them surpassed the three Xuanbing Lion Beasts. Additionally, with the secret cultivation techniques from their Inheritance Memory and... the Black Stick and Cloud Piercing Spear bestowed by Uncle Lan, although the amplitude effects of the Black Stick and Cloud Piercing Spear weren’t that great, their hardness was such that even Qin Yu’s Middle Grade Immortal Artifact couldn’t compare to them.

Even if there was some difference in strength between Hou Fei and Hei Yu when compared to Qin Yu, it wasn’t much.

Mo Qilin, an Intermediate Divine Beast. If weapons were set aside, his strength was comparable to that of the Xuanbing Lion Beasts, except he didn’t have quality weapons.

"Little Mo, this is a Middle Grade Immortal Artifact. I’m giving it to you now. With this Middle Grade Immortal Artifact, you’ll be able to defeat ordinary Sixth Tribulation independent cultivators," Qin Yu said with a smile, handing over a brush-shaped Immortal Artifact to Mo Qilin, but the brush exuded sword qi.

As a Divine Beast, Mo Qilin was equivalent to the Great Success Stage in his Third Tribulation. Mo Qilin was not that different from ordinary Sixth Tribulation independent cultivators, and with a Middle Grade Immortal Artifact, his strength would naturally skyrocket. Defeating Sixth Tribulation independent cultivators would not be a difficult task.

Now.

Qin Yu alone could defeat an Eighth Tribulation independent cultivator. The three brothers of the Xuanbing Lion Beast Shi Xin, when joining forces, could also defeat an Eighth Tribulation independent cultivator. Hou Fei and Hei Yu were close to Qin Yu’s strength, at the very least possessing the power of a Seventh Tribulation independent cultivator, or possibly even higher. Mo Qilin was slightly weaker, but with a Middle Grade Immortal Artifact, he also possessed the strength of a Sixth Tribulation independent cultivator.

The true capabilities of Hou Fei and Hei Yu were the hardest to determine, mainly because... who knew if they were among those legendary, top-tier super divine beasts?

High-level divine beasts were already extremely powerful, but the super divine beasts that could be counted on one hand were even more terrifyingly potent. What exactly were the strengths of Hou Fei and Hei Yu? Who could know?

"Everyone, what we need to do now is... incite hatred between Yin Yue Palace and Qingxu Temple and provoke them into fighting each other. Of course, to fan the flames, we must kill some of their people. Given our current strength, to be safe, our targets should be... independent cultivators of the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Tribulation," Qin Yu said to the six people before him.

Hou Fei squawked, "Too low, the target’s too low, Big Brother... Sixth Tribulation independent cultivators are only equivalent to a Third-level Heavenly Immortal, a Third-level Heavenly Immortal, huh! I could smash one to death with a single swing of my stick, it’s too unchallenging."

"It’s low," Hei Yu uttered just three words.

Qin Yu was taken aback.

Then he burst into hearty laughter, "Ha ha, Fei Fei, Little Black, you sure are confident. But we can’t be careless this time. Alright, alright, Fei Fei, stop looking at me with those eyes. Anyway, we have the Qingyu Immortal Mansion’s defenses, I agree, the highest target will be an Eighth Tribulation independent cultivator."

At the insistence of his two brothers, Qin Yu had no choice but to set a higher target.

With the Qingyu Immortal Mansion at his disposal, Qin Yu wasn’t worried about not being able to escape.

Suddenly—

"Wang Yuan, don’t push me too far. You might be more talented than me and have joined Qingxu Temple, the number one great sect, while I only joined an unnamed minor sect. But you’re going a bit too far. When we were both mortals in the countryside, you bullied me, and now you want to snatch my Top-Grade Ore, dream on," an extremely angry voice came from a distance.

"Li Xin, do you, as a mere Golden Core Stage cultivator, deserve to possess such Top-Grade Ore? I’m now a Nascent Soul Stage expert. Once I get a Top-Grade Spiritual Artifact, I’ll surely become an elite disciple of Qingxu Temple," another voice rang out.

The two voices were rapidly approaching Qin Yu’s location.

Qin Yu and the other six exchanged smiles; a Golden Core Stage and a Nascent Soul Stage appeared like pushovers in their eyes.

"Wang Yuan, what are you so arrogant about? It’s only been half a month, hasn’t it? Already, hundreds of your Qingxu Temple independent cultivators have died, and hundreds of your ordinary disciples too have perished. What’s so great about Qingxu Temple? Although ’Lianhua Sect’ is a smaller sect, at least we haven’t suffered any casualties," said one voice.

"All those deaths are the doing of those independent demons, but at least the independent demons of Yin Yue Palace have also lost hundreds. We’re not at a loss. At least Qingxu Temple has independent cultivators dying; does your Lianhua Sect even have independent cultivators to lose? You don’t even have independent cultivators," retorted another voice.

...

Qin Yu’s eyes lit up.

He hadn’t begun to incite discord yet, but it seemed like some significant issues had already arisen between Yin Yue Palace and Qingxu Temple.
