In the great hall of the Yujian Sect.

Five second-generation disciples gathered here, each with a trace of irritation on their faces, sitting for a while before pacing back and forth within the hall. It was evident that they could not calm their minds.

The power held by the Yujian Sect’s second-generation disciples was immense, and the fact that five out of eight gathered here clearly indicated a serious matter.

"Senior Brother, now that Yu Dian has died, and our master, along with Senior Qian Qi, are in the Alchemy Room concocting together, what should we do next?" One of the five, a middle-aged man in yellow clothes, spoke out. This man was Old San among the eight disciples of the Yujian Sect.

"Third Junior Brother, if you’re asking me, what can I do?" The handsome young man shook his head and said, "Speaking of which, my disciple ’Huan Yu’ has also been killed. I too am filled with anger with nowhere to vent it."

All five brothers in the hall felt helpless.

If any other brother had died, they might have been worried and sought revenge, but they certainly wouldn’t be as anxious and frightened as they were right now.

The death of Yu Dian not only prompted the five close brothers to gather immediately but also caused the other two brothers who were away to rush back. This was due to Yu Dian’s identity.

After all, Yu Dian was someone valued by Emperor Yu himself.

If his death angered Emperor Yu, it was possible that the entire Yujian Sect would be implicated.

"All we can do is wait, wait for our master and Senior Qian Qi to finish their alchemy," said a middle-aged man who had been sitting quietly in the corner. "Even the master would not dare to offend Senior Qian Qi. Needless to say, the importance of this alchemy session, they can’t afford the slightest distraction. If we send a message to our master, distracting him and causing the alchemy to fail, Senior Qian Qi’s rage would bring consequences we cannot bear."

The other four gave a wry smile.

What could they four now do?

"Lu Cao left a clear message before he died; an enemy was able to withstand their ’Five Elements Chain Sword Formation’s’ final and most powerful strike by himself. The enemy’s strength is definitely no less than that of our master, and even if the five of us joined forces against the enemy, the likelihood is that we would face certain death," the Senior Brother said with a sigh and a shake of his head.

Thinking of the message sent by Lu Cao before his death, the five of them felt helpless.

One Ninth-level Golden Immortal, three Eighth-level Golden Immortals, and one Seventh-level Golden Immortal executing the final move of the ’Five Elements Chain Sword Formation’; its immense power was something the five men in the great hall could imagine.

To resist such a move, one could imagine the strength required.

"Unless we gather all the Ninth-level Golden Immortal experts of the Yujian Sect and even all the experts Emperor Yu has stationed in the Silver String Star System, we might feel confident to completely eliminate the enemy," the middle-aged man sitting in the corner said slowly.

The other four fell silent.

Gather all the sect’s experts, summon all of Emperor Yu’s envoys stationed in the Silver String Star System?

None of them had the authority to do so.

Everything... they had to wait for their Master, Yu Qingzi, who, after all, was the person Emperor Yu had appointed to take charge of the entire Silver String Star System.

"Even if Master intervenes, I’m afraid it will cost us dearly to kill the opponent," Senior Brother immediately shook his head and said.

Suddenly, the middle-aged man sitting in the corner spoke up, "If Senior Qian Qi would make a move, it might not be difficult to resolve the enemy." Upon hearing this, the eyes of the other four in the hall lit up.

Immortal Emperor Qian Qi, known as the head of ’Thirty-Six Lords’ under Emperor Yu’s command, was far stronger than Yu Qingzi.

Liu Feng City on Fengyue Star.

The Liu Family’s Great Elder, Liu Minghan, owned a manor that was both secluded and tranquil. Usually, Liu Minghan seldom lived there, but he had been staying there for some time recently.

"Alas, for a small family entangled in the struggle of great powers, it’s like sitting in a wooden boat amidst the waves, at any moment the vessel could capsize and lives could be lost," Liu Minghan sighed inwardly.

In recent days, Liu Minghan had been deeply troubled by the great battle between the Yujian Sect and Qin Yu’s sect elders.

But deep down, Liu Minghan also harbored a trace of ambition.

Because Liu Minghan knew that if things continued to develop normally, the Liu Family might only be able to shrink back to the small Fengyue Star. Yet, if they were lucky this time around and managed to gain support from either the Yujian Sect or Qin Yu’s side, his Liu Family would transform at an alarmingly rapid pace.

"Mr. Liu." A calm voice suddenly rang out in the manor.

Liu Minghan’s entire body trembled.

He was naturally familiar with this voice; it was indeed the voice of ’Qin Yu’, the Liu Family’s retainer.

"Since Mr. Qin has already arrived, why not come out for a cup of tea?" Liu Minghan said with a smile. As he spoke, Liu Minghan also carefully observed his surroundings, even the sky above him.

Only then did he see—

Qin Yu was in the lead, with Kong Lan slightly behind him next to Qin Yu, while Tu Gang and Dan Meng were to the left and right behind Qin Yu. It was only when these four people walked in through the manor’s gate that Liu Minghan noticed them.

Liu Minghan’s pupils constricted at the sight of Kong Lan, Tu Gang, and Dan Meng.

"Qin Yu has some new servants, and this time... I can’t even see through the strength of these servants," Liu Minghan was shocked inwardly. He had been able to see through Qin Yu’s former servants Shuo Yan and Zang Yuan.

"Mr. Qin, it’s really great that you’re all right. Not long ago, five Golden Immortals attacked Bamboo Garden. I’ve been worried for a long time. Thankfully, I see you now, Mr. Qin," Liu Minghan immediately said with a smile.

"Come, Mr. Qin, please have a seat." Liu Minghan immediately sat opposite Qin Yu.

A faint smile was constantly on Qin Yu’s face; he was not in a hurry at all.

"Mr. Qin, these people..." Liu Minghan glanced at the three people behind Qin Yu.

"Mr. Liu, the Bamboo Garden was besieged by five Golden Immortals, and had it not been for my master’s uncle’s help, I might have really lost my life. My family was very concerned about my safety, so they sent three great experts to protect me," Qin Yu said offhandedly.

The secret of the Ten Thousand Beasts List could not be disclosed.

If the secret that he owned the Ten Thousand Beasts List became known, he guessed that powerhouses like Emperor Yu, Emperor Xuan, and various other Immortal Emperors, Demon Emperors, and Demon Emperors would probably come to kill him. After all, even Immortal Emperor Ni Yang had highly valued the Demon Emperor Spiritual Beast in the third layer of the Ten Thousand Beasts List. One could imagine the strength of the Demon Emperor Spiritual Beast in the third layer of the Ten Thousand Beasts List.

"I wonder which family Mr. Qin comes from?" Liu Minghan asked.

Liu Minghan’s curiosity was piqued.

"Hm?" Qin Yu frowned and gave Liu Minghan a cold look, "Mr. Liu, don’t you think you’re asking too many questions?"

Liu Minghan’s heart trembled, and he quickly said, "Mr. Qin, I was presumptuous."

Qin Yu smiled again and said, "Mr. Liu, what you should know, I will let you know. What you should not know, you need not inquire further."

"Yes, yes," Liu Minghan nodded repeatedly.

Liu Minghan could now feel a very special aura emanating from Qin Yu, an aura that made Liu Minghan’s heart quiver. Liu Minghan did not realize that this was the aura Qin Yu emitted after his soul had merged with the Meteor Tear.

"Mr. Qin, in just over half a month’s time, the competition among the three great families of Fengyue Star for control of the Planet Transmission Array will begin. If Mr. Qin has time, please come and watch," Liu Minghan suggested tactfully.

"I’ll go if I have the time," Qin Yu nodded and said, "Mr. Liu, that Bamboo Garden was a gift from you, yet I failed to protect it and let the enemy destroy it. I truly apologize."

Qin Yu apologized, but Liu Minghan laughed and said, "Mr. Qin is not to blame for this. My Liu family has an estate called ’White Garden’ in the eastern district. I had someone clean it up some days ago, especially waiting for Mr. Qin’s return to stay in."

"I appreciate it," Qin Yu said, without declining the offer.

Shortly after, Qin Yu stood up, "Mr. Liu, I shall take my leave now. My Immortal Consciousness has already located that White Garden, so there’s no need for someone to guide me." After saying this, Qin Yu, with Kong Lan and the other two, turned and left.

Just as Qin Yu arrived at the employees of the estate, he suddenly turned around, "Mr. Liu, when you meet my disciple Han Shu, ask him to make a trip to White Garden."

"Certainly, I will immediately send someone to instruct Han Shu to meet Mr. Qin," Liu Minghan said with a smile.

Qin Yu cracked a slight smile and then left with his company.

For a Cultivator, constructing an estate was not a difficult task, yet the layout of the White Garden, along with its variety of rare and exotic plants, quite surprised Qin Yu; clearly, Liu Minghan had gone to great lengths to make Qin Yu happy.

Qin Yu sat silently in the main hall, waiting for his disciple Liu Hanshu.

After only a short while, Liu Hanshu burst into the hall and kneeled down immediately, "Disciple pays respect to Master."

Upon Qin Yu’s teachings last time, Liu Hanshu had an epiphany and then began to cultivate in earnest. With ample Primordial Spirit Stones for cultivation, and his meridians having been modified by Qin Yu’s Life Essence Power.

Liu Hanshu’s speed in cultivation was astonishingly fast; in just ten years, he had cultivated all the way from the early stages of Nascent Soul to the Middle Kongming stage.

Qin Yu’s gaze fell upon Liu Hanshu’s body, and, after a careful observation, a smile crept upon his face, "It seems you have indeed cultivated diligently these past ten years. Tell me, among your fellow disciples, who possesses the highest cultivation?"

"Now among my fellow disciples, the highest is the Middle Kongming stage, which includes myself, and also Liu Hanming, who Master had once instructed to be taught a lesson," Liu Hanshu said with a hint of pride, "But in another ten years, I will surpass everyone in my generation with an absolute advantage."

"Liu Hanming, I do have some impression of him."

Qin Yu recalled that cunning young man, "Ten years ago, Liu Hanming was already at the Late-stage Cave Void, to reach the Mid Cave Void stage in ten years is also not bad."

"Master, it’s been ten years since I’ve seen you, and I’ve missed you very much," Liu Hanshu suddenly said.

Qin Yu was taken aback.

He suddenly remembered being a Master who had not seen his disciple for ten years, nor had he given much guidance to his disciple, which truly did not qualify him as an adequate Master.

Later on, the Master and disciple chatted for quite some time, and Qin Yu resolved quite a few issues Liu Hanshu encountered in his cultivation.

...

At night, Qin Yu was alone in the house.

Qin Yu was now going through the items inside the Space Rings of the Five Golden Immortals, having not had the chance to look closely after slaying them previously.

"Tsk tsk, no wonder so many powerful beings from the Immortal, Demon, and Demon Worlds like to rob and kill others; this robbery is essentially seizing all of another’s wealth," Qin Yu couldn’t help but sigh as he went through the items.

Cultivators are nomadic; they generally store their treasures within their Space Rings. Normally, the more powerful and influential someone is, the more treasures they possess.

Lu Cao, Huan Yu, Huan Feng, and Feng Lian were all Second Generation Disciples with a high status within the Yujian Sect. Their wealth was somewhat less than that of Yan Gao, who had access to his family’s fortune.

Their collective wealth was roughly five to six billion.

"According to this list in Lu Cao’s Space Ring, this Yu Dian is a Second Generation Disciple and in charge of managing wealth," Qin Yu was looking forward to Yu Dian’s Space Ring.

Among the five people, he held the highest status and managed the finances. How many treasures could there be inside his Space Ring?

Upon inspection—

"Inhale!" Qin Yu gasped sharply, "There’s even more than I imagined."

The contents within Yu Dian’s Space Ring truly astonished Qin Yu. Not to mention the myriad of peculiar treasures, just the Primordial Spirit Stones alone were found to be worth over ten billion.

Unbeknownst to Qin Yu, Yu Dian had already handed over the authority to manage the Yujian Sect’s wealth to the receptionists, and the sect’s formidable wealth had also been transferred to his successors, since Yu Dian was preparing to head to Emperor Yu’s place.

Even so, Yu Dian’s wealth remained impressive.

"What’s this..." While carefully examining the other treasures in Yu Dian’s Space Ring, Qin Yu suddenly discovered an item, a ’Jade Scroll’. Qin Yu took the scroll out and swept his Immortal Consciousness over it.

A map, an interstellar map!

What did Qin Yu want most?

The thing he wanted most was an interstellar map. He had obtained one of the Blue Bay Star Domain from the Liu Family, but this map was an interstellar map of the Immortal Realm!

"Looking at these lines and so on, this interstellar map of the Immortal Realm isn’t very detailed, but at least it contains some of the main routes. With this map, I won’t be worried about getting lost in that region of the Immortal Realm."

Qin Yu’s eyes shone brightly.

"The treasures of these five people combined are not as precious as the treasures left by the three envoys I killed in the Mortal World. But to me, that wealth is just a number, and all the treasures of the five can’t compare to this map."

A smile involuntarily filled Qin Yu’s face.

"This interstellar map of the Immortal Realm turned out to be a surprising delight."

In fact, this interstellar map of the Immortal Realm was given to Yu Dian by the person in charge of Blue Mars after Yu Dian had successfully completed his task there, knowing that he had a promising future ahead for having attained a great achievement, and they had just gifted him the map directly.

Who would have thought that this map would eventually end up in Qin Yu’s hands.

Within the Yujian Sect on Red Leaf Star.

"Caw caw–––"

The secret stone door of the Alchemy Room slowly opened, and Yu Qingzi, his face full of joy, stepped out with another middle-aged man, only to be greeted by the Yujian Sect disciples waiting outside who were almost frantic with urgency.

"Master, there’s terrible news!"

The Senior Brother among the second generation of disciples was the first to cry out.

Still immersed in the joy of the successful alchemy, Yu Qingzi realized only then that all seven of his disciples had gathered there. He knew that his disciples weren’t supposed to be on Red Leaf Star. What could have happened for all seven disciples to come here?

Upon seeing his seven disciples’ expressions, Yu Qingzi’s heart sank.

"What on earth has happened? Where is my disciple Yu Dian, why isn’t he here?" Yu Qingzi demanded.

(Finally, Chapter Two is completed––whew~~)
