"Jiang Lan Realm" is an extraordinary divine artifact, but in Qin Yu’s eyes, its basic function hardly mattered to him. What he understood was... this "Jiang Lan Realm" was a tester of Qin Yu’s powers.

Holding this green tower, Qin Yu had no idea how to use the "Jiang Lan Realm."

"How do I use the Jiang Lan Realm? What does it mean to fully utilize the ’Jiang Lan Realm?’" Qin Yu repeatedly asked.

"Do not hurry, first perform the blood recognition," Uncle Lan said with a smile.

Qin Yu smiled awkwardly, realizing he had been too nervous, almost forgetting the blood recognition method that almost everyone knew, whereas Uncle Lan knew Qin Yu was just a bit too tense.

"Drip!"

A drop of blood fell from Qin Yu’s finger onto the surface of the green tower, which absorbed the blood like a sponge, causing a light red hue to appear on its surface. Soon, the light red color began to retract and converged at the tip of the green tower, turning the green tip into a red one.

Qin Yu naturally sensed the aura of this green tower within himself.

"Three spaces!" Qin Yu abruptly opened his eyes, looking at Uncle Lan in surprise, "Uncle Lan, is this ’Jiang Lan Realm’ a space divine artifact? And it contains three spaces inside?" Qin Yu was extremely astonished.

Uncle Lan nodded with a smile, "Yes, it indeed is a space divine artifact, and the three spaces inside are nearly infinite in size."

Uncle Lan spoke casually, but Qin Yu felt an immense shock.

After the blood recognition, Qin Yu had already sensed the information of the ’Jiang Lan Realm.’ The Jiang Lan Realm was divided into three different spaces.

The first space: Time ratio to the outside world is 10:1. Spending ten years in this space equates to only one year in the outside world. Moreover, the energy density in this space is ten times that of the outside world.

The second space: Time ratio to the outside world is 100:1. Spending a hundred years in this space equates to only one year in the outside world, and this space’s energy density is a hundred times that of the outside world.

The third space: Time ratio to the outside world is 1000:1. Spending a thousand years in this space equates to only one year in the outside world, and this space’s energy density is a thousand times that of the outside world.

How could Qin Yu not be astonished by such an artifact that even controls time?

"Little Yu, the so-called energy inside the ’Jiang Lan Realm’ needs to be absorbed from the outside world. It is not naturally existing," Uncle Lan explained, "For instance, when you are in the Mortal World, you can absorb nature’s spiritual energy from the Mortal World into the space. If you are in the realm of Immortals, Demons, and Spirits, you can absorb the ’Primordial Spirit Qi’ from that realm into the space..."

Qin Yu nodded.

Three nearly infinite spaces, if they were to contain endless energy, where would all that energy come from? Extracting it from the outside world, Qin Yu could guess that much.

"Try opening the first space," Uncle Lan said with a smile.

"Yes." Qin Yu nodded and immediately began to muster the True Solar Core Energy within his body to open the gateway to the first space. However, as time passed, the heat throughout Qin Yu’s body began to surge...

Qin Yu felt slightly disappointed and looked at Uncle Lan.

"To open the first space, your strength must at least reach that of a Sixth-level Golden Immortal," Uncle Lan said smilingly.

Qin Yu was stunned.

"As for how much strength you need to open the second and third spaces, you will find out in time. Let me tell you, only by fully unlocking these three spaces will you be qualified to meet Li’er," Uncle Lan stated seriously.

Qin Yu felt a pressure, an unprecedented pressure.

To open the first space required the strength of about a Sixth-level Golden Immortal, naturally, the second space required even more, and as for the third space... How much cultivation power it needed was something Qin Yu himself was unsure of.

"Uncle Lan, how many years do I need to wait?" Qin Yu asked anxiously.

Uncle Lan sighed, "Don’t be anxious. Don’t ask me how many years you have to wait, ask yourself! The faster you cultivate, the sooner you can see Li’er. And if you cultivate slowly, then naturally, it will take much longer."

There was a trace of bitterness on Qin Yu’s face.

"Little Yu, your cultivation method is very special. I advise you... it’s best to keep following this cultivation method, and not to learn those ordinary cultivation techniques of immortals, demons, and spirits," Uncle Lan advised earnestly.

Qin Yu was puzzled and looked at Uncle Lan.

"You will understand in time, although I can’t imagine what realm your cultivation technique will reach when pushed to the limit. A novel cultivation method, a path of cultivation never seen before, will make your attacks different from others. You know others’ secrets, but they do not know yours, which is very beneficial for your future," Uncle Lan explained.

Qin Yu understood.

"Alright, Little Yu, cultivate earnestly and do not be too anxious. For our race, years don’t really matter. As long as you don’t give up, I assure you, no one can force Li’er," Uncle Lan’s voice was not loud, but it made Qin Yu believe firmly.

At that moment, Qin Yu wasn’t aware that inside the ninth layer of the Nine-layered Heaven, the space was slightly trembling.

"Little Yu, I’ve said what I needed to say. I must leave now," Uncle Lan looked kindly at Qin Yu, "Remember, hold firm to your beliefs and don’t get confused by others and other matters. It’s enough that when you look back at your life in the future, you have no regrets."

Qin Yu looked at Uncle Lan and nodded firmly.

Uncle Lan smiled contentedly, then his figure slowly faded, and finally, he vanished completely within the ninth layer of the Nine-layered Heaven.

"Li’er."

Thinking of Li’er, Qin Yu naturally recalled the satisfying emotion from when they embraced, when it felt as if everything in the world had disappeared and time had stopped.

Qin Yu could never forget the times he had spent with Li’er.

"Nothing can stop me, nothing."

Qin Yu looked up at the illusory starry sky of the Ninth Layer of the Nine-layered Heaven, but his gaze seemed to penetrate space, through the realms of immortals, demons, and spirits, targeting that mysterious place.

And in that place, a woman was quietly looking downward, as if their gazes touched.

Gold Wood Island.

Qin Yu was teleported from the Ni Yang Realm and arrived directly at Gold Wood Island. At this moment, on Gold Wood Island were Man Qian and Senior Zong. Clearly, they both were eager to see who had reached the ninth space first.

"Haha, Brother Qin Yu, it indeed turned out to be you who reached first," Man Qian, seeing Qin Yu appear, immediately came over with a laugh.

Seeing Man Qian and Senior Zong, Qin Yu knew that he had spent the most time in the ninth layer, which resulted in him being slower than the other two. Faced with the two men, Qin Yu smiled and said, "Brother Man Qian, Senior Zong, I was able to come first thanks to my master. Eh, where’s my master?"

Qin Yu looked around.

Senior Zong also looked around and said, "I guessed that Senior Lan Feng must have done something to save your life. You are at the Great Success Stage, and chose any room randomly; the levels in all of them exceeded ten. I checked when I came just now, but I didn’t see Brother Lan Feng."

"Senior Zong, no need to look for him." A calm voice sounded.

Zong Jue and Man Qian both looked toward the source of the voice, only to see Sword Immortal Lan Feng descending from the sky.

"Little Master." Qin Yu’s eyes lit up as he walked over.

Sword Immortal Lan Feng smiled and said, "Little Yu, you must have obtained quite a few treasures for ranking first this time. Choose a divine artifact, and take a few top-grade immortal artifacts as well."

Man Qian and Zong Jue’s eyes brightened.

Qin Yu smiled and shook his head, "No need, Master Uncle, as you know, I have reached the Great Success Stage, and my day of ascension is not far off. I will definitely be at the bottom tier in the Demon World. If I have a divine artifact, I’m afraid it could even cost me my life."

Man Qian nodded and said, "That’s right, Qin Yu will definitely be at the bottom of the Demon World once he ascends. If someone finds out that he possesses a divine artifact, that would indeed be dangerous."

"This..." Lan Feng hesitated a bit.

"Master Uncle, rest assured, I just need a set of top-grade defensive battle armor, and you can keep the rest," Qin Yu gestured, and a large pile of items flew out, many immortal artifacts and even the Mysterious God Scroll.

Man Qian’s gaze immediately fixed on the Mysterious God Scroll.

Qin Yu secretly noticed the gaze of the two men; his actions were merely to avoid unnecessary trouble. Through these two, many would know that these items were not in his possession anymore.

Lan Feng smiled and shook his head, then collected the items.

When Lan Feng collected the items, they were actually just transferred to Qin Yu’s Qingyu Immortal Mansion, and he even intentionally performed a blood recognition ritual—obviously, the blood used was Qin Yu’s own.

The items ended up back in Qin Yu’s hands after making a full circle.

Of course... Man Qian and Zong Jue couldn’t tell.

"Little Yu, do you want to come back with me and see your senior brother?" Lan Feng asked.

Qin Yu shook his head, "No, I want to go back and see my family now. After that, I will visit Uncle Lan and the others."

"That’s good too," Lan Feng nodded, then looked at Man Qian and Zong Jue, "Brother Man Qian, Brother Zong Jue, you two must have also obtained divine artifacts. I estimate that the divine artifacts should be quite good."

Man Qian laughed, "They are indeed good, haha... the Immortal Emperor Ni Yang really dares to boast about having the most divine artifacts. He has more than ten on him. Both the eighth layer and the seventh layer contain defensive divine artifacts, truly extraordinary."

It seemed that Immortal Emperor Ni Yang didn’t even bother to bring out offensive divine artifacts anymore; whenever he acted, only the best were used.

The seventh and eighth layers were all defensive divine artifacts, and naturally, the ninth layer was even better. Along with the ’Ten Thousand Beasts List’ from the first layer of the Nine-layered Heaven, all of these items were extraordinary divine artifacts, none of them ordinary. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Both of you got defensive artifacts?" Lan Feng seemed slightly surprised.

Man Qian and Zong Jue both nodded with a smile, then Man Qian said somewhat ruefully, "Alas, if I could trade a divine artifact for your Mysterious God Scroll, I wouldn’t just trade one defensive divine artifact, but even two, I would be willing."

"Hehe... Two defensive divine artifacts for the Mysterious God Scroll, Brother Man Qian, do you think I’m unaware of the effects of the Mysterious God Scroll?" Lan Feng teased.

Man Qian gave an embarrassed smile.

In fact, Lan Feng at this moment (which was actually Qin Yu) had no idea of the effects of the Mysterious God Scroll. It was solely based on the message left by Immortal Emperor Ni Yang—calling it the number one treasure of the Demon World—that its value could be determined.

"Alright, gentlemen, I shall first go back and see my senior brother. I still need his help to arrange these treasures," Lan Feng said with a light smile, nodded to Qin Yu, and then entirely vanished into thin air.

Man Qian, upon seeing Sword Immortal Lan Feng disappear, exclaimed in wonder, "Sword Immortal Lan Feng is already so powerful, what realm has his senior brother reached, Qin Yu, do you know?"

"Uncle Lan’s strength, I do not know either," Qin Yu shook his head.

Zong Jue remembered the narrow black war saber that Senior Lan had once bestowed upon him, capable of being wielded effortlessly and even matching the toughness of ordinary Low Grade Divine Artifacts—clearly, he was no ordinary person.

"Senior Lan’s strength is formidable, this Lan Feng’s strength is at least that of an Eighth Level Golden Immortal. And his senior brother Senior Lan... I presume he’s at the Profound Immortal, Immortal Emperor Level," Zong Jue stated aloud.

Man Qian was inwardly shocked.

"How could the Mortal World have such mighty experts?" Man Qian was still greatly perplexed, but he had witnessed Lan Feng’s strength firsthand, leaving no room for doubt.

Afterward, Man Qian shook his head, having gained a defensive divine artifact this time, it was already a considerable achievement.

"Brother Zong Jue, Brother Qin Yu, I will not linger in the Mortal World any longer. Let’s part ways here," said Man Qian to Qin Yu and Zong Jue.

Qin Yu was very curious about how Man Qian would return to the Immortal-Demon Realm.

"Brother Man Qian, it seems quite difficult for you to come to the Mortal World. This return..."

"Although returning is not without its difficulties, it is much simpler compared to coming here," Man Qian said, flipping his hand and producing five Crystal Stones, each of a different color. He then casually placed them around his body.

He also took out five talismans and affixed them to the Crystal Stones.

"Hiss-hiss~~" The moment the talismans touched the Crystal Stones, they erupted with terrifying energy like charcoal touching water, and then the energies of the talismans connected together.

"Brother Qin Yu, Brother Zong Jue, I take my leave. When you come to the Immortal-Demon Realm, feel free to visit me in the Demon World," Man Qian said with a smile.

"Farewell."

Although Qin Yu and Zong Jue were astonished by what they were witnessing, they still bowed and spoke.

"Boom!" The five Crystal Stones suddenly exploded, instantly creating a tremendous and terrifying force. The power was so immense that Qin Yu was reminded of the skinny black man ’Wu Lan’ he had encountered in the Nine-layered Heaven.

A passageway appeared in the space, and from the other end of the passageway, equally intense energy shot through.

"Whoosh!"

Man Qian, who was now clad in combat clothes, stepped into the passageway and ultimately vanished.

After a moment, the entire space returned to calm, the five Crystal Stones were now merely some powder, and Qin Yu and Zong Jue gradually calmed down as well.

"Senior Zong, you’re returning to the Chaotic Star Sea, and I will be returning home; let’s part ways here," Qin Yu said to Zong Jue.

"Yes, having gained this divine artifact, I’ve experienced a transformation and finally broke through the last barrier. I estimate I’ll ascend to the Immortal-Demon Realm within ten years. If you have time within these ten years, come and see me. Farewell," Zong Jue said with a smile.

Upon hearing that Zong Jue had broken through from a Twelfth Tribulation Independent Practitioner to a First Level Golden Immortal, Qin Yu could not help but congratulate him.

Subsequently, Qin Yu and Zong Jue parted ways on Gold Wood Island, each returning to their own places.
