Chapter 365: Episode 12 Chapter 55 Ice Wind Sect
Looking at the endless space within the Jiang Lan Realm, Qin Yu took a deep breath.
"It’s time to leave. I should be more cautious this time, at least change my appearance!" Qin Yu altered his appearance.
His long hair turned into a three-inch short cut, and his black robe changed into a tight-fitting blue attire. His entire persona seemed more rugged, and he also made his face look rougher.
Having prepared everything, Qin Yu was ready to leave the Jiang Lan Realm.
"Hm? Someone is surveilling?" Qin Yu clearly felt the soul power of two people sweeping over the ’sand particle’ formed by the Jiang Lan Realm.
"One is an Immortal Emperor, and the other is a Demon Emperor. Their strength should be around that of the third level Immortal Emperors," Qin Yu deduced the approximate strength of these two individuals from the soul power that swept over the sand.
After pondering for a moment, Qin Yu felt helpless, "It seems that these two must be the ones sent by those two eighth-level Immortal Emperors and Demon Emperors."
Regarding these two eighth-level Immortal Emperors and Demon Emperors, after some thought, Qin Yu was eighty percent certain they were Xue Tianya and Emperor Yu.
"Hmph, even if they are eighth-level Immortal Emperors, they can’t persist forever. They will have their subordinates take over once they can’t endure any longer, huh?" Qin Yu suddenly noticed that one of the immortal consciousnesses had disappeared.
Qin Yu was slightly startled and then realized, "That surveilling Immortal Emperor seems to have grown tired."
There were two people surveilling, one was an Immortal Emperor, and the other was a Demon Emperor. Now that the Immortal Emperor had already rested, when would this Demon Emperor rest?
"I hope these two don’t have any coordination with each other," Qin Yu hoped inwardly.
If these two were to coordinate, alternating their surveillance whenever one rested, Qin Yu would be forced to take a detour through the Demon World to leave safely, something he was reluctant to do.
Qin Yu believed that those chasing him, the eighth-level Demon Emperor and the eighth-level Immortal Emperor, were competitors. How could they cooperate?
Holding this thought, Qin Yu decided to wait and see.
This wait lasted for a month.
A month later...
Qin Yu excitedly discovered that there was no longer any immortal or devil’s consciousness monitoring the outside.
Qin Yu did not know that the surveilling Immortal Emperor and Demon Emperor had to rest for a month each year. Although there were overlapping times, there was a brief period every few years when no one was surveilling.
Emperor Yu and Xue Tianya had assumed that Qin Yu would not notice an emperor-level expert’s surveillance and that the unmonitored time was very brief, so they did not care much about it.
****
The sky was clear, and only a few white clouds drifted at the edge. The Blue Snow Star was bustling at this moment, with plenty of cultivators on the streets.
Qin Yu was currently walking on the streets.
"I remember the codename ’Mr. Liu Xing’ used to have short hair when taking assassin missions in the Hidden Dragon Continent. It’s been quite a while since I’ve had short hair." Qin Yu’s current three-inch short hair also felt comfortable as he hadn’t had short hair for a long time.
Qin Yu quickly crossed the city.
As soon as he entered the grassland area, Qin Yu immediately performed Instantaneous Movement and arrived directly at the location of the Interstellar Transmission Array.
Since no one was monitoring him now, Qin Yu was not afraid of being discovered.
There were quite a few people wanting to travel from Blue Snow Star to the Immortal Realm at this time; many were already queued up.
"Where to?" An operator of the Interstellar Transmission Array asked Qin Yu.
Qin Yu smiled and said, "To the Immortal Realm’s ’Long Bright Star’."
The Long Bright Star in the Immortal Realm is a border planet between the Immortal Realm and the Blue Bay Star Domain.
"Three Upper Grade Primordial Spirit Stones," the manager said flatly.
Qin Yu was slightly surprised. The fee from one Star Domain to another was indeed exorbitantly high. However, for Qin Yu, this amount of money was inconsequential.
After paying three Upper Grade Primordial Spirit Stones, Qin Yu stepped into the Interstellar Transmission Array.
A burst of light that uplifted one’s spirits began to flicker.
A smile could not help but appear on Qin Yu’s face, "Two Eighth Level Immortal Emperors, Demon Emperors, you still can’t catch me. Unfortunately, you wasted so much effort and even let me witness an impressive fight between you, which has benefited me immensely."
The light disappeared, and so did Qin Yu.
***
At the extreme southern end of the Immortal Realm lies a radiant planet, constantly bathed in the rays of a constant star, making it a planet that never experiences night, and thus...it is known as ’Long Bright Star’.
In the same star system as the Long Bright Star is another well-known planet, the Ming Liu Star.
Ming Liu Star is famous because it produces a very rare mineral, and at this time... Qin Yu was on the Ming Liu Star.
Inside an ordinary tavern on the Ming Liu Star.
Qin Yu was drinking what the tavern claimed to be their ’signature fine wine’. To Qin Yu, the drink wasn’t particularly remarkable; it was simply something he hadn’t tried before, and this tasting was an eye-opener.
"So many years in the Jiang Lan Realm, not drinking the wines or eating the dishes, my taste buds were almost fading away," Qin Yu felt completely relaxed.
As long as he didn’t stir up trouble within the internal regions of the Immortal Realm, the chances of that Eighth Level Immortal Emperor catching him were like a dream, unless he physically bumped into that Immortal Emperor, who in turn would still not be absolutely sure of Qin Yu’s identity.
"The Eighth Level Immortal Emperor must be Emperor Yu," Qin Yu thought to himself. "Brother Wu Ming also mentioned during our chat that among the three giants of the Immortal Realm, Emperor Xuan is a woman, and the Green Emperor rarely makes a move and is very mysterious."
Based on what Wu Ming said and the fact that Emperor Yu had long harbored intentions of killing him, Qin Yu was convinced that the Eighth Level Immortal Emperor must be Emperor Yu.
He just needed to be careful in Emperor Yu’s territory and not cause any trouble, then he should be very safe.
The possibility of Emperor Yu and Qin Yu coming face to face among countless stars and countless people... one could imagine how slim that was. Just meeting on a planet with a population exceeding a hundred million was difficult enough, let alone among so many planets in a star system, and how many star systems were there in the Immortal Realm?
After resting for a day on Ming Liu Star, Qin Yu finally set out.
Starting from the southern end of the Immortal Realm, he headed towards the border between the Immortal Realm and the Demon World, which was also the far western end of the Immortal Realm.
The Immortal Realm occupied nearly twenty percent of the entire celestial region of Immortals, Demons, and Monsters, with nearly twenty Star Domains. Qin Yu did not rest, moving from one planet to another, from one star system to the next...
Continuously advancing.
Now, Qin Yu had almost the entire celestial map of the realms of Immortals, Demons, and Monsters. He obtained this interstellar map with the help of Ao Wuming; having such a brother, Qin Yu knew well how to cherish resources.
When a Prince of the Dragon Clan took action, it was indeed extraordinary.
This map of the realms of Immortals, Demons, and Monsters detailed each star, each Interstellar Transmission Array, and this interstellar map was also the latest update from the Dragon Clan, formulated just a hundred years ago.
Eight Star Domains!
In ten days, Qin Yu had traversed the Eight Star Domains, resting only half a day in that time.
"Constant teleportation, constant teleportation, I now feel dizzy just seeing the light from the transmission array." Qin Yu stepped out of the ’Warm Wood Star’ Interstellar Transmission Array. This time, he did not queue up to continue onward but rather... decided to rest for a while in the city of Warm Wood Star.
***
Warm Wood Star was a very ordinary planet, not within the realm of Emperor Yu’s influence. Qin Yu had a rule in his heart; during his journey, he absolutely would not rest within Emperor Yu’s territory.
In a city on Warm Wood Star.
After wandering the streets for half a day and casually buying some interesting trinkets, Qin Yu entered a tavern, ordered a few dishes at random, along with several bottles of wine, and then sat down.
"Now that I’ve passed through eight star domains, I will be able to reach the Demon World in less than a month." Qin Yu, looking at the scenery outside the window, felt very relaxed.
"Senior Brother, why did Master urgently summon us back?" With a crisp voice, four youths in white robes walked into the tavern from outside, each of them naturally radiating an air of arrogance.
Indeed, these four brothers, two being Eighth-level Golden Immortals and two Ninth-level Golden Immortals, possessed the absolute top strength on an ordinary planet like Warm Wood Star.
It was rare for an Emperor-level expert to visit a planet like Warm Wood Star.
"Third Junior Brother, Master did not elaborate on the Communication Spirit Pearl," the only dark-skinned youth among the four youths said helplessly.
"Senior Brother, Third Junior Brother, I actually heard why Master has summoned us back to the sect," the Second Senior Brother said mysteriously.
The other three junior brothers quickly turned their attention to this Second Senior Brother.
"Second Senior Brother, come on, stop holding back," the youngest of them also urged.
"Second Junior Brother, speak quickly," the Senior Brother urged as well.
Not far away, Qin Yu, who was quietly drinking, slightly furrowed his brows; he had traveled a long way, and just when he finally had some time to rest, these four brothers were shouting and calling.
Qin Yu held back and did not say much.
"Actually, I’m not entirely sure, but I know that this time the Sect Master is very happy and even invited two Immortal Emperors to celebrate," the Second Senior Brother said with a proud, beaming face.
From a Ninth-level Golden Immortal to a First-level Immortal Emperor is but a step away, yet countless experts are trapped at the threshold of the Ninth-level Golden Immortal, unable to progress further.
Just looking at how many Ninth-level Golden Immortals and how many First-level Immortal Emperors there are in the Yujian Sect, one can see how difficult this step is to surmount.
"Two Immortal Emperors? Which two Immortal Emperors?" the other three junior brothers asked curiously.
The Second Senior Brother slowly took a sip of his wine, making the three junior brothers so anxious they almost wanted to physically urge him to speak faster, but then he said, "One of these Immortal Emperors is Yu Fan Immortal Emperor, one of the Eighteen Emperors under His Majesty."
"Wow, Yu Fan Immortal Emperor," the Fourth Junior Brother’s eyes lit up. "I heard Yu Fan Immortal Emperor is really powerful. Once, when a small force’s leader in the Immortal Realm disrespected His Majesty, Yu Fan Immortal Emperor annihilated three great Immortal Emperors by himself with the ’Heavenly Fan Seal,’ causing that force to collapse completely."
"Eighteen Emperors?"
The hand with which Qin Yu held his wine slightly paused.
"It seems that only under Emperor Yu are there the ’Eighteen Emperors.’ Could these few brothers be Emperor Yu’s men?" Concerning Emperor Yu, Qin Yu began to focus intently on the conversation of these few people.
"Second Senior Brother, who is the other Immortal Emperor?" the Fourth Junior Brother asked.
Second Senior Brother chuckled and said, "This other one is not an ordinary person either; he ranks among the ’Thirty-Six Lords,’ just like our Sect Master. He is Yu Qingzi, the Sect Master of the Yujian Sect from the Blue Bay Star Domain."
"Yu Qingzi Immortal Emperor? He is a Sword Immortal," the Senior Brother’s eyes shone. "Yu Qingzi Immortal Emperor is said to be only at the First-level Immortal Emperor, but his attacks are extremely fierce."
...
"Yu Qingzi!"
Qin Yu’s heart trembled, and he couldn’t help but reveal a hint of excitement on his face, "Yu Qingzi, Yu Qingzi, I didn’t kill you last time, and I didn’t expect that after so many years, you didn’t hide in the Yujian Sect but instead came to the Immortal Realm. This time fate itself wants to end you."
The death of Han Shu had always weighed heavily on Qin Yu’s mind.
Though Han Shu had taken his own life, it had been a forced suicide.
In Qin Yu’s heart, the person he most wanted to kill was Yu Qingzi, who had devised the plan. It was Yu Qingzi who arranged the plan to besiege Qin Yu. If not for that plan, what would have become of his disciple?
On the Fengyue Star, Qin Yu attacked Yu Qingzi several times, but back then, his strength was too inferior to Yu Qingzi’s. Even though he possessed a Sword Immortal Puppet Body, his understanding of combat realms was too limited and was completely bound by Yu Qingzi’s "Domain".
"This time, Yu Qingzi, your death is inevitable."
Qin Yu made up his mind to kill Yu Qingzi first.
"From the words of these four brothers, Yu Qingzi should be with two other Immortal Emperors, one of them is one of the Thirty-Six Lords, and the other is one of the Eighteen Emperors, Immortal Emperor Yu Fan. That Immortal Emperor Yu Fan is a bit problematic, but certainly not as tough as the Green Blood Sword Immortal. Immortal Emperor Yu Fan can’t kill me yet."
Qin Yu was undaunted at heart.
However, shouldn’t things be planned out?
At the very least... knowing which sect these four brothers belong to, on which planet?
A smile appeared on Qin Yu’s face as he pondered.
"Inviting two Immortal Emperors to celebrate, the Sect Master must have some great news," said the Third Senior Brother with a smile; they too looked forward to this trip back as they would get to see two Immortal Emperors.
The four brothers then started to get loud again.
The others in the tavern didn’t dare to scold them, given the formidable strength of these four.
"You four juniors, keep it down."
A deep voice came from a corner of the tavern.
"Who?" The four brothers’ faces changed as they looked toward the source of the voice — it was none other than Qin Yu, who had altered his appearance.
"Big Brother, the enemy is unfathomable," Second Senior Brother transmitted.
Senior Brother was well aware, as the four brothers felt apprehensive the moment they saw Qin Yu, since they couldn’t sense even a trace of his aura. If they closed their eyes, they would even think that there was no one in that corner.
"Senior, the four of us juniors didn’t know Senior was here, and we apologize for our recklessness," Senior Brother stood up and respectfully said.
"Which sect do you belong to? Who is your elder?" Qin Yu asked indifferently as he drank, not even glancing at the four brothers.
Senior Brother respectfully answered, "Junior belongs to the Ice Wind Sect of the Floating Moon Star System, and our Sect Master is Immortal Emperor Bing Lian."
"Oh, disciples of Bing Lian, eh? I’ll let it go for Bing Lian’s sake," Qin Yu said nonchalantly as he stood up. Then, with a flicker, he moved to the doorway, his back to the four brothers, "Juniors, remember, next time you’re in a tavern, check who is around before making a ruckus."
"Yes, yes."
The four brothers stood respectfully. They noted the familiar tone Qin Yu used for Immortal Emperor Bing Lian, and coupled with the strength they couldn’t discern, they were convinced that this unfathomable figure was definitely an Emperor-level Expert.
By the time the four brothers looked up, Qin Yu had already disappeared, only then did they breathe a sigh of relief.
