Chapter 310: Episode 11 Chapter 68 Ascension of Immortals and Demons to the Demon World

At first, Qin Yu merely wished to teleport as far away as possible, as distant as he was able. Unexpectedly, he managed to instantaneously reach the Hidden Dragon Continent in a single bound.

"Shuo Yan, come out!"

Qin Yu hastily summoned Shuo Yan. When it came to understanding matters such as instantaneous movement, Shuo Yan indeed knew much more than Qin Yu.

"Shuo Yan, tell me, how far can one generally teleport at most? Is it possible to go directly from Yellow Stone Star to Zixuan Star?" As soon as Shuo Yan appeared, Qin Yu immediately bombarded him with questions.

Shuo Yan was taken aback.

From Yellow Stone Star directly to Zixuan Star? Could that still be called teleportation?

"Master, don’t joke around. How could teleportation span such a distance? To go from Yellow Stone Star to Zixuan Star, even if one knows the exact route, it would take over a hundred tries," Shuo Yan asserted with certainty.

Suddenly, Shuo Yan looked around, his entire persona stunned for a moment.

"This, master, this should be Zixuan Star, right?" Shuo Yan somewhat disbelieved what he saw, but the surrounding trees and houses, as well as the Xuanbing Lion Beast Shi Xin, who wanted to speak but was deterred by a glare from Qin Yu, proved it all... This place was indeed Zixuan Star.

Shuo Yan remembered very clearly, just now the master had summoned him to inquire about teleportation, and in the blink of an eye, they were already on Zixuan Star. That was too fast.

"This is Zixuan Star. Shuo Yan, listen carefully, just now I used the method you mentioned to perform instantaneous movement, but I arrived directly on Zixuan Star’s Hidden Dragon Continent," Qin Yu said, looking at Shuo Yan, "Tell me, what exactly is going on?"

Shuo Yan looked at Qin Yu with a somewhat dazed expression.

"Master, did you say you came directly from Yellow Stone Star to Zixuan Star?" Shuo Yan struggled to believe it.

Qin Yu nodded again affirmatively.

"Master, that must be... Great Teleportation! Definitely Great Teleportation. If it was just a simple teleportation, how could it cover such a distance. But... how could your power perform Great Teleportation, how could it possibly do so?" Shuo Yan became somewhat unable to accept this.

Qin Yu’s eyes brightened, "Great Teleportation? As far as I know, only a Golden Immortal-level expert can perform that Divine Skill. Tell me, what are the primary requirements to perform Great Teleportation?"

"Yes," Shuo Yan responded, then carefully explained, "Before talking about Great Teleportation, I must first tell the master about the fundamental reason behind ’instantaneous movement’ and ’Great Teleportation’ among such space-altering Divine Skills. The deciding factor whether one can perform instantaneous movement or Great Teleportation is their Soul Realm!"

"Soul Realm?" Qin Yu echoed back.

Shuo Yan nodded and said, "Correct. To perform instantaneous movement, the soul must reach the level of Heavenly Immortal, Heavenly Demon, or Heavenly Beast, with sufficient power as well. As for Great Teleportation, the soul must also reach the level of Golden Immortal, Demon King, or Demon King."

"But my Soul Realm hasn’t reached the level of Golden Immortal yet?" Qin Yu became puzzled.

"That... I don’t know either." Shuo Yan was also at a loss.

Qin Yu pondered heavily but couldn’t figure out why he was able to perform Great Teleportation. In the end, he could only helplessly let Shuo Yan return to the Ten Thousand Beasts List.

What Qin Yu didn’t know was that this was actually the effect of the ’Meteor Tear.’

Meteor Tear had enabled Qin Yu to easily and completely control the power of his soul, and at the same time, had significantly increased the degree of his soul’s alignment with the cosmos. Whether it was teleportation or Great Teleportation, it was all dependent on the degree of integration with the cosmos.

If one could achieve a state of being indistinguishable from the cosmos, one could reach any part of the universe instantaneously.

The Meteor Tear had raised Qin Yu’s soul’s integration level to match that of an ordinary Golden Immortal, which enabled Qin Yu to just now perform ’Great Teleportation.’

"Master?" Shi Xin spoke up quietly.

"Oh, Shi Xin." Qin Yu snapped back from his deep thoughts. Despite his intelligence, he had not realized that beside its strong recovery power and nurturing abilities of the soul and body, Meteor Tear also had the effect of making his soul meld more easily with the cosmos.

When Qin Yu himself merged with the universe, he thought it was his own ability to reach that level of integration.

"Master, have you achieved a breakthrough? Are you going to ascend?" Shi Xin struggled to suppress the excitement in his heart.

Qin Yu coming out from seclusion, in Shi Xin’s view, must mean that he was about to ascend.

Qin Yu nodded, "Soon. There’s still three months left."

"That’s wonderful, finally I can ascend, finally, I have reached this day." Shi Xin shook with excitement, his eyes beginning to turn red and moist.

Qin Yu looked at Shi Xin and simply smiled.

He knew what Shi Xin was feeling at the moment; the Shi siblings had already reached the Great Success Stage long ago. If it weren’t because their masters—the three brothers of Qin family—hadn’t ascended, they would have done so already.

The two brothers of Shi Xin, Shi Bing and Si Zhan, because they were the spiritual beasts of Hou Fei and Hei Yu, had already ascended over a hundred years ago. Over the years, Shi Xin often missed his brothers.

And now, he could finally ascend alongside Qin Yu.

"I’ve caused you trouble." Qin Yu also felt a trace of guilt towards Shi Xin.

If it weren’t because he himself had painstakingly cultivated for over a hundred years to ascend, would Shi Xin have been stuck in the Mortal World, unable to ascend?

"No, Master, just knowing that you can ascend excites me greatly. Ah...master, your father frequently wishes to see you, won’t you come back and see him?" Shi Xin called out.

Qin Yu nodded.

"Father!"

Wasn’t this return also for his own family?

Qin Yu’s Immortal Consciousness (let’s call it Immortal Consciousness since Qin Yu doesn’t belong to either the Immortal, Demon, or Monster factions) spread out in every direction. In just a moment, Qin Yu’s Spiritual Sense had covered the Three Great Dynasties of the Hidden Dragon Continent.

His own father and Feng Yuzi were actually at the summit of Donglan Mountain, while his elder brother and second brother were resting in a palace at the border of Primordial Wilderness. Over a hundred years, his father’s cultivation had also reached the early stages of the Cave Void.

Qin Yu’s figure vanished in an instant.

The summit of Donglan Mountain.

The mountain breeze blew. Qin De and Feng Yuzi, amidst the mountain wind, were engrossed in a game of chess—what did mountain winds matter to two Cultivators who had reached the Cave Void Stage?

The two had been playing for exactly thirteen days already.

Qin De and Feng Yuzi played chess slowly, especially in the later stages—sometimes it would take half a day to make a single move.

"Father, Uncle Feng.""

The strong mountain wind blew, and Qin Yu’s voice, just like the mountain breeze, swept past the two men’s ears. Qin De and Feng Yuzi might ignore the mountain wind, but that voice drifting past their ears made both shudder.

Whoosh.

Qin De suddenly stood up and turned to look in the distance; at the sight, his entire body trembled, and the chess piece in his hand fell unknowingly, striking the chessboard.

The mountain wind blew hard, Qin Yu’s long hair fluttered, his robe swirling. Yet, those eyes resembled those of his childhood so much.

They still carried that hint... of attachment.

"Yu’er, you’ve finally come back." Qin De’s voice trembled, and his eyes involuntarily reddened.

"Yes, I’ve come back," Qin Yu nodded.

Feng Yuzi’s voice rang out, filled with excitement, "Come, come, Little Yu, quickly sit beside your father and Uncle Feng, come." As he spoke, Feng Yuzi eagerly waved his hand.

"Yes."

In front of the elders, Qin Yu sat next to his father and Uncle Feng like a well-behaved child.

"Yu’er, where have you been cultivating for over a hundred years? I tried everything, but I couldn’t find you," Qin De inquired.

"Yellow Stone Star," Qin Yu said with a slight smile.

"Yellow Stone Star? You mean... on another planet?" Qin De was slightly stunned, and even Feng Yuzi was shocked for a moment.

Immediately afterward, Qin De laughed, "Yu’er, your father can’t see through everything about you anymore. Yellow Stone Star, another planet... I suppose even those Independent Immortals wouldn’t dare to leave our planet casually."

Qin Yu nodded.

Even True Master Ming Liang and the others wouldn’t dare to leave Zixuan Star easily. After all, getting lost in the universe is a very frightening thing. Unless they possess the Divine Skills of Great Teleportation, enabling them to easily enter a populated planet.

"Brother Feng, in this life, the thing I am most proud of is having such a son," Qin De said, his face filled with pride, the expression of a father proud of his son.

Feng Yuzi nodded and said, "Old Brother Qin De, I remember when Little Yu was young, you thought he wouldn’t amount to much and didn’t care much about him."

Hearing this, Qin Yu couldn’t help but reminisce about those years.

The child of those days, during the nights, would gaze at the starry sky in the cold mountain wind atop this chilly mountain peak.

That child, always gritting his teeth, kept cultivating tirelessly, his sweat sprinkling the mountain paths of Donglan Mountain, all the way into adulthood.

...

Swimming in lakes, long-distance running with weights, flexibility training, thrusting his palms into white sand... scenes after scenes flashed through his mind.

In the blink of an eye, more than two hundred years had passed, but the memories remained vivid.

Qin Yu’s gaze settled on his father.

All that he had done was to earn his father’s praise.

Qin De chuckled self-deprecatingly, "That’s right, back then I knew that Yu’er couldn’t cultivate, and he was also uninterested in politics, so I gave up on him early. Who would have thought... Yu’er would become the first person in the history of the Hidden Dragon Continent to become an Innate External Power Expert. And soon after, he joined the ranks of the cultivators."

Qin De sighed deeply, "It all seems like a dream, my third son, whom I cared little for, has shocked me time and again. That time when over ten thousand cultivators appeared before me, kneeling and shouting ’Greetings, Pavilion Master’ to Yu’er, I was stunned. As I delved deeper into cultivation, I learned many things I didn’t know before, and those formidable Independent Immortals came into my view. Facing those Independent Immortals, our Qin Family had no power to resist, only Yu’er..."

"And those two protectors, who are actually Divine Beasts at the level of Independent Demons, they are also Yu’er’s Spiritual Beasts," Qin De said with a smile, then looked at Qin Yu, "Yu’er, your father really can’t believe that I, Qin De, could have such a son."

A father proud of his son.

Moved by these words, a surge of emotion swelled within Qin Yu.

"Yu’er, more than a hundred years ago, just ten years after you had gone into seclusion, Zong Jue appeared. He helped us kill Yu Liang, and later he ascended. He also told me that you were about to ascend soon. These years... I have been wondering ’Has Yu’er ascended already?’ Now I’m relieved, at least I can see you before your ascension," Qin De looked at his son with satisfaction.

With such a son, what regrets could there be in this life?

"Father," Qin Yu’s eyes got slightly red.

Because he knew that in three months, he must ascend, an escape from the rules of heaven and earth was impossible.

"Don’t be like this, be a man," Qin De patted Qin Yu’s shoulder.

Qin Yu took a deep breath and tried to squeeze out a smile, but his eyes... remained red.

...

The days before Ascension were indeed very comfortable, Qin Yu spent them with his father, his elder and second brothers, and many younger members of the Qin Family. Qin Yu had even become a patriarch of his lineage.

After all, his cultivation had surged past two hundred years.

"Who would have thought that in just thirty years, the Qin Dynasty would decay to such an extent?" On the eve of Ascension, Qin Yu was discussing matters with his two brothers and their father.

Mentioning the decline of the Qin Dynasty, Qin Yu could not help but sigh deeply.

"Little Yu, do not mind it too much. The rise and fall of a dynasty must follow its natural course. Moreover, maintaining a dynasty at its peak is nearly impossible. Although our Qin Family possesses formidable latent power in the Hidden Dragon Continent and even north of the Chaotic Star Sea, a dynasty sustained by martial power cannot last forever, and that would also burden the common people," Qin Zheng said calmly.

Qin Zheng had the ability to manage well, but the role of Emperor had been passed down through generations.

Each Emperor of the Qin Dynasty wielded real power, and even though it had declined in the last generation, Qin Zheng and the countless forerunners of the Qin Family did not intervene. Because... these ancestors understood that becoming the most powerful family on the Hidden Dragon Continent could instead allow the members of the Qin Family to focus more on their cultivation.

The ruler’s way?

Today, most of the Qin Family’s youth had already entered the path of heavenly cultivation, stepping into the true way of cultivation.

"It’s better this way. Managing a nation indeed weighs the heart; this way is more relaxing," Qin Yu took a deep breath and solemnly handed over a set of jade scrolls to his father.

"What is this?" Qin De received the jade scroll curiously.

Qin Yu said earnestly, "This is my cultivation method ’Star Transformation.’ Cultivating ’Star Transformation’ requires high standards. Firstly, one must reach the Innate Realm in Outer Strength Cultivation. Father, you can select some people who are talented in Outer Strength to train. If someone’s Outer Strength reaches the Innate Realm and they are decent people, then please pass down this cultivation method on my behalf."

Qin Yu stood up and gazed at the starry sky.

"This cultivation method was created by my master, Lei Wei, and it comprises Six Great Realms. The Seventh Realm was created by me, and the Eighth Realm is a method I conceived in my imagination. As for the realms beyond... If the inheritors of ’Star Transformation’ encounter me in the future, I will tell them. If not... it will depend on their abilities," Qin Yu stated calmly.

Qin De nodded solemnly, "Yu’er, rest assured, I will definitely pass down this cultivation method. Even if I don’t find a suitable inheritor in my lifetime, I will let the Qin Family help in searching for one."

Qin Yu felt a wave of relief in his heart.

What was to come on the road ahead? No one knew. Leaving behind the ’Star Transformation’ cultivation method was also to ensure that this unprecedented cultivation method would not be lost.

In the night.

The family awaited dawn.

Qin De, Qin Zheng, Qin Feng, Feng Yuzi, Xu Yuan, and many descendants of the Qin Family gathered at Cloud Mist Villa, watching the first forebear of the Qin Family from ancient times to ascend.

"Yu’er," Qin De looked at Qin Yu, while Qin Zheng, Qin Feng, and others watched unwillingly.

Light streams descended from the sky, enveloping Qin Yu and Shi Xin beside him. Gradually... Amid the golden light, Qin Yu and Shi Xin slowly ascended towards the sky.

Looking at his family below, Qin Yu’s eyes reddened, and he fiercely turned to look up at the sky. Yet, tears slid down his cheeks, falling to the ground below, splashing outwards.

"Father, Big Brother, Second Brother, farewell. Now, I can only hope... to meet again in the realms of Immortals, Demons, and Spirits," Qin Yu murmured in his heart.

Two flashes of golden light.

Qin Yu and Shi Xin thus vanished from the sight of Qin De, Qin Zheng, Qin Feng, and other descendants of the Qin Family; they all knew... Qin Yu had left the Mortal World, arriving in another world.
