Chapter 364: 12 episodes 54 Chapters Finger Technique
In the Jiang Lan Realm, Qin Yu could not sense the passage of time at all. Time and time again, his realizations kept him in an excited state, filled with passion...
Powerful energy surged in strands, with Qin Yu moving like an illusion, drifting continuously, each strand of powerful energy possessing both astonishing speed and force.
Suddenly!
"No, no!" Qin Yu abruptly stopped, his face at that moment unable to discern whether he was crying or laughing.
While perceiving the realm up to now, Qin Yu suddenly discovered...that the "Eighteen Finger Techniques" he had previously devised needed to be discarded because the newly created techniques turned out to be unsuitable for him.
This made Qin Yu feel a bit sad, but there was also something that excited him.
Because... Qin Yu had finally understood the ’Domain’.
Domain, a unique skill belonging to emperor-level experts.
If not comprehended, it seems profound, but once understood, it actually becomes quite simple.
"So this is what the world is like, the boundless cosmic space has its special rules, every bit of energy, every existence has its reason for existence," Qin Yu gazed at every bit of space in the Jiang Lan Realm.
In the past, to Qin Yu, cosmic space was just cosmic space.
However, now in Qin Yu’s eyes, the cosmic space has its own unique rules, those rules being profoundly supreme, and currently, Qin Yu only sensed its presence, as for comprehending it... he was nowhere near.
But merely sensing its presence was enough for Qin Yu to deploy the ’Domain’.
"Those ’Eighteen Finger Techniques’ now seem quite complex and cumbersome. A true attack only needs a few types, integrating attacks with the domain is what truly belongs to emperor-level experts."
Qin Yu closed his eyes, his immortal consciousness and the energy within his body began to spread out.
Comprehending the ’Domain’, the most important thing is the level of integration between the soul and the cosmic space. Although Qin Yu’s soul realm was only at the Earth Soul Third Level, with the aid of the Meteor Tear, he was also able to deploy the ’Domain’.
Within a hundred miles radius.
The space was as calm as ever, but in the dark, strands of Black Hole Power were hidden, with Qin Yu’s Black Hole Power merging into every corner of the space. Within this ’Domain’, Qin Yu could restrain his opponent’s actions, even unexpectedly attack his opponent.
When Qin Yu fought with Yu Qingzi initially, Yu Qingzi used this move to restrain Qin Yu, making his attacks less smooth.
Having comprehended the Domain, Qin Yu’s understanding of combat deepened another level.
He completely abandoned the previously devised "Eighteen Finger Techniques" and once again created a more suitable attacking method, based on his current understanding of cosmic space...

At the top of a mountain on Blue Snow Star.
A man in white robes, another in purple robes. Xue Tianya and Emperor Yu stood at the summit.
"Brother Xue, five years have passed. During these five years, the two of us have been continuously observing every part of Blue Snow Star. Although we discovered some other interesting things, we haven’t found any trace of Qin Yu," Emperor Yu said with a light smile.
Xue Tianya also smiled serenely.
The initial battle on Blue Snow Star had caused the relationship between the two to become somewhat tense and even a bit hostile. But after five years, neither of them had discovered Qin Yu. Both experts were tired of covering the entire Blue Snow Star with their immortal and devil’s consciousness all the time.
After all, this was not a cultivation retreat that could last for many years. They had to monitor closely every moment.
They had a feeling...that they might never find Qin Yu again.
Both were failures and sympathized with each other’s ailments, thus their relationship began to improve significantly.
"Brother Feng Yu, I can’t wait any longer. Who knows if Qin Yu will stay in Qingyu Immortal Mansion for hundreds or even over a thousand years?" Xue Tianya said with a smile.
Emperor Yu also gave a bitter smile.
Right, who knows how long Qin Yu will stay in Qingyu Immortal Mansion? Up to this day, both of them still believed that Qin Yu was in Qingyu Immortal Mansion.
"Brother Xue, I have many important matters and cannot stay on Blue Snow Star forever. I will be returning to the Immortal Realm soon, and I will send one or two Emperor-level experts to oversee things here on Blue Snow Star," Emperor Yu said with a smile.
"The same for me. The scope of Blue Snow Star is just so large. Qin Yu has not reached the Emperor Level yet, ruling that a single Demon Emperor-level expert is sufficient to monitor the entire Blue Snow Star. Once he appears, he will definitely be detected," Xue Tianya firmly stated.
Even now, these two had no idea about the sensitivity of Qin Yu’s Immortal Consciousness.
"I just worry they might not always have the patience to keep watching," Emperor Yu sighed.
Even masters like Emperor Yu and Xue Tianya, steadfastly keeping watch for five years, felt mentally exhausted. If a second or third-level Immortal Emperor were to do the surveillance, they probably couldn’t last a year without needing a long rest.
Xue Tianya was unconcerned, "They can monitor for a while, take a short rest for ten or fifteen days, and then continue monitoring. Qin Yu, not being Emperor Level, won’t notice the surveillance by Emperor-level experts. I don’t believe he would be so lucky as to come out right at the moments nobody is watching."
"Right, since Qin Yu is not at Emperor Level, he won’t detect Emperor-level surveillance," Emperor Yu agreed.
This was the biggest reliance Emperor Yu and Xue Tianya had on capturing Qin Yu.
Unfortunately...
Their reliance was entirely misplaced.
"If Qin Yu is really that lucky, coming out just when our people are resting and not watching, then it’s just his good fortune—a kind that only signifies... even the heaven is aiding him. The Mysterious God Scroll will be out of our reach for the moment," Xue Tianya said lightly.
Xue Tianya looked at Emperor Yu, "Even if Qin Yu escapes to the Immortal Realm, Brother Feng Yu, you still stand a great chance, given your significant power in the Immortal Realm."
Emperor Yu simply smiled, not saying much.
"Alright, Brother Feng Yu, the people I dispatched have arrived at Blue Snow Star, farewell."
"I also need to leave Blue Snow Star now, farewell."
The two great experts parted ways, now needing to inform their dispatched individuals of Qin Yu’s energy and soul signatures, as these Immortal Emperors had never seen Qin Yu.
If one has never seen someone, there are two methods to identify that person.
The first method uses a Jade Scroll, where one person transfers the image of another into the Jade Scroll, and another views it to know the image. This is just an image though. Once someone changes their appearance, they can no longer be recognized.
The second method directly imitates and transmits someone else’s energy signature into another’s mind.
What Emperor Yu and Xue Tianya needed to do was to simulate Qin Yu’s energy and directly imprint it in the minds of their subordinates.
Of course, this second method was not flawless—it was imitation after all, never completely identical. Those arriving Immortal Emperors, Demon Emperors would have a slight misconception of Qin Yu’s energy.
The arriving Demon Emperors, Immortal Emperors were aware of this too. They would capture all individuals whose energy signatures were similar, preferring to err on the side of capturing everyone rather than letting one slip away.

In Jiang Lan Realm, all was as serene as ever.
Over the years, Qin Yu mainly focused on Finger Techniques, as whether it was the initial Dark Star Power or the current Black Hole Power, both concentrated to the extreme.
Such concentrated Powerful Energy was best expressed through Finger Techniques.
...
Qin Yu stood motionless on the grass.
"Ten Absolute Fingers!"
Ten consecutive golden Finger Beams shot out from Qin Yu’s fingers, not all at once, each with subtle differences. Yet if someone’s Soul Realm wasn’t high, they wouldn’t be able to detect the differences between these ten Finger Beams.
They transformed into ten streaks of flowing light.
"Bang!" In the end, the ten golden Finger Beams weirdly converged and struck the ground.
When these Ten Finger Beams were fired, they primarily came from six of Qin Yu’s fingers on both hands; as they flew out, the Finger Beams were either parallel or overlapping!
Theoretically, the ten Finger Beams should never have converged, but inexplicably, they did.
If it had been Qin Yu before this deep cultivation session, he would have been unable to understand it, and might even have thought it was wrong. But now, Qin Yu understood it and had even created this formidable "Ten Absolute Fingers."
This is the difference in realms.
The understanding of a Mortal, a Cultivator, an Immortal, even to the level of an Emperor-level Expert, is different.
Qin Yu had now come to understand.
While fighting Yu Qingzi back then, although he made the first move and was faster than Yu Qingzi, every time Yu Qingzi could block his attacks.
It turned out...sometimes the best trajectory between two points isn’t a straight line, at least not a rigid one.
Because Cosmic Space is constantly flowing, and space is always changing. The ’straight line’ mortals refer to is actually slower on some levels, which is why Qin Yu felt that experts like Xue Tianya, when they made their move, attacked so fluidly and effectively. Initially, Qin Yu didn’t understand the reason, but now he did.
Qin Yu’s set of Finger Techniques was separated into four forms.
The first form—Ten Thousand Layers Finger.
The second form—Thousand Illusion Finger.
The third form—Ten Absolute Fingers.
The fourth form—Breaking Space Finger.
This last move, Breaking Space Finger, was specially created by Qin Yu using the "Black Hole" inside his own body and was now the strongest move he could perform.
Qin Yu had once thought if rotating the "Black Hole" normally could produce such terrifying swallowing power, what would happen if it rotated the other way?
Qin Yu experimented.
Once experimenting with reversal, it produced a horrifying jetting power; so long as Qin Yu controlled a stream of Black Hole Power at the other end of the black hole, after being accelerated by counter-rotation, this stream of Black Hole Power would be ejected at a terrifying speed once it shot out from the black hole.
Afterward, through Qin Yu’s fingers, following his current understanding, it was shot out in the most optimal way!
The power of it was so great that even Qin Yu was startled after creating it.
But performing this move also caused Qin Yu great suffering.
Because that stream of Black Hole Power, after being accelerated by the backward rotation was so fast that it surpassed Qin Yu’s imagination. That speed, when shot out, swiftly moved through Qin Yu’s body from his fingers.
From the Dantian to Qin Yu’s fingers, it simply couldn’t follow the meridians because the Black Hole Power was too fast, so fast that Qin Yu found it hard to let it flow through the meridians. Qin Yu could only force it to slightly change direction.
Thus, in Qin Yu’s body, there was a channel formed by the Life Essence Power, running directly from the Dantian to his fingers. This stream of Black Hole Power would then pass through this channel of Life Essence Power and be shot out in the direction pointed by the index finger.
Fortunately, from the moment Qin Yu reached the Black Hole Realm, his consciousness absorbed the essence from the "Glue Space," underwent a transformation, and Qin Yu’s control over the body’s energy also greatly improved.
He could just barely control that terrifyingly fast Finger Beam to shoot out along the trajectory he had realized.
...
Inside Jiang Lan Realm, Qin Yu’s entire demeanor became fiercer.
Ten Absolute Fingers!
Qin Yu’s hands flicked and shot out, the ten golden Finger Beams being fired consecutively, overlapping and in parallel, and just like that they shot out and in just a moment, converged again.
The collective power of the ten Finger Beams was immense.
Qin Yu paused slightly, then after the surrounding space stabilized, he instantly moved to a far distant place in the direction where Ten Absolute Fingers was shot.
Breaking Space Finger!
"Bang!"
A golden afterimage shot out from Qin Yu’s index finger, and only moments after this golden afterimage was fired, did the air emit an astonishing vibrating sound. By this time, the golden light of Ten Absolute Fingers had already arrived into Qin Yu’s field of vision.
A "bang" sound.
The Ten Absolute Finger Beams dispersed, and the golden afterimage continued shooting forward.
Qin Yu willed it, and the distant land rose up to block the path of the Breaking Space Finger, followed by a series of explosive sounds, as the Breaking Space Finger penetrated who knows how much ground before stopping.
As the master of Jiang Lan Realm, it was quite easy for Qin Yu to control the movement of the land in Jiang Lan Realm.
"The power of Breaking Space Finger is several times greater than that of Ten Absolute Fingers," Qin Yu could see that Breaking Space Finger caused the dispersion of Ten Absolute Fingers, while it itself only lost a small part of its own power.
"What should I call this set of Finger Techniques?" Qin Yu pondered for a moment.
For some reason, Qin Yu seemed to recall his days in the Hidden Dragon Continent.
Back then, he called himself Mr. Liu Xing, and he went with his father to face the Four-nine Heavenly Tribulations in the Primordial Wilderness... and it was also because of a falling star, turning into a Meteor Tear that changed his own destiny.
Qin Yu had a special affection for "Meteor."
"Meteor, let’s call it Meteor Finger Technique," Qin Yu wasn’t very concerned about the name; a name was just a symbol. What was truly important was the power of the Finger Technique itself.
This "Meteor Finger Technique," the first three forms might be learned by others, but the fourth form could probably only be executed by Qin Yu himself.
Qin Yu thought to himself, filled with emotion, "It’s been a hundred years, I actually cultivated for a hundred years on a single set of Finger Techniques."
Now, Qin Yu was still in the Black Hole Middle Stage.
There wasn’t much improvement in his skills, but his actual attack power had been elevated to a new realm.
In these hundred years, Qin Yu primarily focused on creating the "Meteor Finger Technique," which simply is referred to as Finger Technique but can also be transformed into Palm Techniques, Fist Technique and so forth. Because, the value of "Meteor Finger Technique" lies in Qin Yu’s insight into Cosmic Space, into realms.
And with Qin Yu’s perspective, the sophistication of the techniques and others had reached a new level. At the same time, realizing "Domain" also made Qin Yu genuinely qualified to fight with Emperor-level experts.
