Stellar Transformations [NO SPOILERS ALLOWED]

[teddypicker]

I also wonder why it was so obvious to Lei Wei how to practice the diagrams while nobody could figure it out in Qianlong.

True.. however, perhaps you have to learn them in order, the way Qin Yu did, otherwise they'd be useless. And on Qianlong, no one had reached Xiantian through external practice, so it wouldn't have worked either way.

While we witness Qin Yu's grit and determination, we have to remember that all these other practitioners are on a very similar level of dedication. They've practiced for thousands of years and have risked their lives countless times just to increase their power; I don't think a decade or two of physical pain would stop them from practicing external techniques if it was very useful.

Again that might be a narrative that we have to accept though; in wuxia stories like Legend of the Condor Heroes, a character like Guo Jing is characterized by hard work by practicing 10+ hours a day which we would relate to, but in the context of wulin, he actually only practices an ordinary amount. We just have to accept the characterization.

Thats true. However, remember that Xiuyaomists have naturally stronger bodies than Qin Yu if they revert to their original forms. I doubt they'd notice a difference in power due to external practice. Xuixianists on the other hand (who have reached Yuanying or Dongxu level) would greatly benefit from doing external practice I think.

I think so too...but it begs the question why they haven't thought to do so after thousands of years when even Qianlong continent newbies thought of it!

I also wonder why it was so obvious to Lei Wei how to practice the diagrams while nobody could figure it out in Qianlong.

“At that time, I practiced nonstop. Then I obtained a secret book -- the Trans-Heaven 3 Diagrams --, which had only 3 pages containing 36 pictures each. However, to practice the Trans-Heaven 3 Diagrams, I had to reach the Xiantian level in body training first. I went out of my way to train hard and after experiencing various difficulties I finally succeeded.

That pretty much implied that the original secret book had the requirements of practicing the Trans-Heaven 3 Diagrams. It's just that Lei Wei probably could inscribe so much onto 3 blocks of Jade but instead just put the pictorials on there.

And what benefit would that be again? Increased defence, strength and speed? They are both attributes that can be acquired from energy cultivation. At the same time, we cannot judge Qin Yu's progress in external training as the 'standard'. Not even counting the fact he had Meteor Tear, you actually needed to 'absorb' holy energy into the bones and flesh of your body. A normal cultivator (Houtain, Xiantain, Xiuzhen), absorbs holy energy into their dantian. The importance of absorbing holy energy into bones and flesh cannot be understated as that was what gave Qin Yu's body its flexibility and toughness.

Remember that between Yuanying and Dongxu levels, the lifespan of a practitioner number's in the thousands of years. Lets say you've hit middle Yuanying for a hundred odd years, surely you can spend 30 years making your body stronger - remember, this is 700-800 jin strength per arm as an increase. An increase in your base stats (power and speed) is really beneficial. Its not a laughable strength, and it would give you the ability to (at the very least) stand above all the other middle Yuanying guys. (Thats just an example. In Jindan stage, the results would be even more noticeable) Any advantage those guys can have, I would have thought they would jump at the opportunity.

Note that Qin Yu's Limit Training enhanced his soul (even before Metoer Tear arrived). Perhaps that is a benefit of Limit Training.

I've also mentioned before that Qin Yu is a cheating freak of nature (lol) with the meteor tear, and his superb Ancestoral Dragon Arts Technique, his healing pond (or whatever) and his wealth. No other practitioner of the external type would have all those advantages. But Zhao Yunxing (the Limit Training expert from Qianlong) also retained his body's flexibility and toughness - just not to the extent of Qin Yu.

On a side note:
I wonder why Zhao Yunxing didn't begin to cultivate internal energy once he reached the peak of houtian and couldn't progress further in external practice. Limit training doesn't have any effect once you reach the peak of houtian, so I wonder what he was doing in all this time.

[dexter64]

Regarding your last section you mentioned that a lot of people have gotten hold of the THD, yes I believe that's true as well but, I don't believe it was ever mentioned that 1 person/group/organisation ever possessed all of the pieces together at the same time, to be able to combine the pieces together if I remember correctly.

And was it not that you purged your internal cultivation by learning the techniques on the THD as well? So why would any expert in whatever level and either internal or external dare do that for a unknowingly a hit or miss gamble, sacrificing years of cultivation.

Qin Yo is not only faster because of his body maneuvering technique but because the nature of his stellar transformation. The lastest mention of his current cultivation mentioned something along the lines of, his current level was more focused on speed until he hade a breakthrough to his next level, which I believe was early core when his power level will increase substantially when his 9 golden meteor fuses together into 1 entity. Regarding the limit break thingy I don't think it is as impactful in the current section of the book as you are arguing for for a couple of reasons.

1. The author have not mentioned about the limit break training metod since the first book I believe.

2. The stronger the level of cultivation dongxu and so on have a "general" level of power and speed. So the stronger you are you move faster, simple. And in real world calculations even if you account for wind resistance it's still negligible. And we are talking about insane amount speed that dongxu level and higher move in, I would argue for the same thinking, wind resistance is negligible.

Everyone has different interpretation even if you can find factual evidence in the book so, we'll this is my 5 cent.

And a question, what are you arguing for teddy picker? Like if you are arguing for the Qin Yu is stronger than the same level as he is which was late yuan, yes it's true as it's been mentioned quite alot of times throughout the book. Just because he has more finess does not mean he has the same "total power" as his opponent. Like when Qin Yu was unable to break out of the formation that the most recent big fight had, due to "lack of strength". He is making up for his lack of "total power" with speed is my current theory.

Thanks for having me.

Welcome to the forum. Regarding this topic, none is arguing AFAIK, we just have a discussion about the Trans-Heaven 3 Diagrams. Why the discussion happened? It's because of the importance of the Trans-Heaven 3 Diagrams for Qin Yu, without it Qin Yu won't be able to learn Stellar Transformation. Why the discussion so long? It's because the details provided by the author are rather all over the place.

B1C4
‘Xiao Yu,’ Lian Yun does not know what to do, but he cannot say nothing so he has no choice but to speak the truth, ‘if you want to become a Xiantian expert, you must practice internal techniques. Internal techniques break through the barrier between the Houtian level and Xiantian level. But your dantian is innately unable to accumulate internal energy, how can you practice internal techniques? And how can you become a Xiantian expert?’

The statement that you need to be a Xiantian external expert to learn the Trans-Heaven 3 Diagrams, is contradictory with the definition of Xiantian level itself. How can you become a Xiantian external expert if Xiantian is define by internal energy? How can you have internal energy by practicing external energy? Do you need to learn internal energy? If that's true then it would be very different from your external practice and it's not a natural progression. And Qin Yu won't be able to learn it, because of his dantian.

Does it mean Xiantian level for external expert without the internal energy? If it's true then what are the indicators, how can you practice it? Is it even possible if you don't have The Meteor Tear?

What you get by practicing the Trans-Heaven 3 Diagrams to my understanding is you use body movements to gather holy energy and use the holy energy to transform your body (including the dantian) and store it as internal energy. In short it's an external energy movements that deliberately transformed holy energy into internal energy.

Why you need to have internal energy to practice a series of body movements (external energy) to gather holy energy to be transformed into internal energy? For me The Trans-Heaven 3 Diagrams is a technique similar to Ancestoral Dragon Arts Technique, both are used to gather holy energy to be transformed into internal energy. The difference is the input, one using body movements, the other using meditation. That way, then logically to learn The Trans-Heaven 3 Diagrams you only need to reach the peak late Houtian external level, and by practicing The Trans-Heaven 3 Diagrams then you become a Xiantian in internal energy.

B3C1
Xiang Guang suddenly bursts out laughing: “Ha-ha, I only have the 2nd Trans-Heaven diagram. Without gathering all 3 Trans-Heaven diagrams, it’s simply impossible to find out that vague mysterious technique from it. Moreover, throughout history, many talented people including even Xiuzhenists have obtained the diagrams or collected all 3 of them but no one has ever found out their secret. I only have 1 diagram so it’s useless. Trading 1 useless Trans-Heaven diagram for a saber-toothed tiger can also be considered something worth doing.”

So yes, some individuals have been able to collect all 3 of them at the same time.

B3C2
“What is this Trans-Heaven diagram actually? The 1st Trans-Heaven diagram has only 36 pictures. The man in these 36 pictures doesn’t even have any paths for internal energy circulation. There are only 36 strange movements. Could it be I only need to learn these movements?” says Qin Yu doubtfully.

Naturally, all the people that previously had the Trans-Heaven diagram were internal expert, if even Qin Yu, an external expert thought about internal energy circulation then naturally they would even more so. If you apply internal energy circulation while doing the movements, then you made it into a defensive or offensive move, and nullified the ability to gather holy energy. Once you become a Xiantian and understand the usefulness of the varying speeds in executing the movements then you can use the moves for defense or offense.

Who would have thought that The Trans-Heaven 3 Diagrams use body movements of external expert to gather holy energy to be transformed into internal energy. As such it only useful for Houtian external expert to crossover to become Xiantian internal expert. If you are at Xiantian level or higher then there is nothing to gain by learning The Trans-Heaven 3 Diagrams.

I agree with this, however, I think you need to reach the early Xiantian level as an external practitioner, the way Qin Yu did. THD is a method of practice for Xiantian external experts, so you need to be at least at early Xiantian level to qualify.

External expert?

But yes, I agree with you.

The matter I was discussing early - whether its a good thing for a Xiuxianist of Jindan/Yuanyang or even Dongxu to do external practice up to the Peak of External Houtian level. Xuiyaonists don't gain any benefits, because they transform into their beast forms during fights, so they won't see any beneficial gains from having done external houtian training. Humans, on the other hand, will see lots of benefits - their body is better and tougher and stronger, and faster.

In addition we saw that Qin Yu experienced rapid soul growth due to Limit Training, so I think its safe to assume that its an added benefit of Limit Training.

What is your take on it?

Yes, I know that Lei Wei said that you have to be a Xiantian external expert to qualify to learn The Trans-Heaven 3 Diagrams, but logically it should be peak late Houtian, otherwise we will have contradictions. That's why I hope the author will revise it in the future revision if any, but for me I prefer to revise it myself (with my copy of this novel).

What is your take on it?

Personally, I don't think it's necessary for anyone at Xiantian level or higher to learn external training, because their body toughness, power and speed will increase along with their level of achievement.

Yes, compare to the normal techniques, The Stellar Transformation is superior. Let's say it can be practice by anyone at Xiantian level, then you don't need to practice the external, but you still has to abandon your achievement and start over. If you have to do the external practice then you will go back even further.

If you just started and you have access to The Trans-Heaven 3 Diagrams and Stellar Transformation, and you are not afraid to do external training then yes, your achievement might be higher than if you practice other techniques.

[CFT]

I forgot that bit about Lei Wei fnding the books of the Trans-Heaven diagrams. I thought he had wrote them himself.

There is a difference between a Xiantian external expert and a Xiantian internal expert. The external expert is powered by pure physical power, whereas the internal is via xiantian energy. Speed, toughness etc is all via the xiantian energy. Hence the internal experts movement can be sensed via their internal energy, not so with the external practitioners.

I'm not so sure that a xiantian internal expert can just pick up the THDs to practice without undergoing the external practice first. But they might be able to use their xiantian energy to heal themselves to achieve quicker recuperation.

As for those xiuzhenists who have started down the jindan/yuanying path, I'm not so sure that they can just disperse their jindan/yuanying and practice the Stellar Transformations. I think, certainly with the yuanying, that it is just too bound up with their soul.

Book 8: The return of Qin Yu

B8C1: Going home

The Qian Long continent has a huge population.

Qin Yu and his group of several tens Xiuzhenists are flying through the clouds.

Far below them, the air is filled with cooking smoke and there are countless silhouettes of people. Compared to the boundless oceans, the Qian Long continent really has too many people. Here, there are tens of thousands of people in a town, and a big city even has hundreds of thousands of people.

“This is the Ming dynasty of the 3 big dynasties on the Qian Long continent.”

Qin Yu takes a deep breath. Even though he is flying through the clouds, given the keenness of his six senses, he can still feel that so familiar earthy smell. In the ocean, he simply cannot breathe in this kind of earthy smell. This is the smell of home.

“Big brother.” Hei Yu looks at Qin Yu with brilliant eyes. Qin Yu cannot help but smile at him.

In the past, Qin Yu and Hei Yu, a kid and a young eagle, walked the same path and stuck together through thick and thin. Afterwards, they left the Qian Long continent and made waves in the underwater Xiuyao world. It has been nearly 10 years and today Qin Yu and Hei Yu have returned.

“What’s the matter, Qin Yu?” Li’er asks softly.

Qin Yu says with a smile: “This is my home. My home is the Qian Long continent. Now below us is the Ming dynasty of the 3 big dynasties. My family is in the Qin dynasty.” He does not hide anything and is not afraid of the Xiuzhenists around him hearing either.

The members of the Azure Dragon Palace, the Blue Water Mansion, the Penglai Immortal Region and the other powers all give him a look.

These Xiuzhenists all have exceptionally good hearing so naturally they have heard those words. In their eyes, Qin Yu is the master of the Stellar Tower, an overlord in the underwater Xiuyao world, but … Qin Yu is from the Qian Long continent?

“What? Everybody is very curious, right? Oh, I forgot to tell you that I’m not a demonic beast. I’m a human.”

Qin Yu looks at the Xiuzhenists present and says in an indifferent and leisurely manner.

They are all startled. They already suspected this when they heard Qin Yu say he was from the Qian Long continent a moment ago. Now that Qin Yu has openly revealed it, they are totally sure that he is a human.

“Why is everybody looking at me? Could it be a human can’t stay in the underwater Xiuyao world? Besides, my 2^nd brother Hou Fei is a divine beast. Could you be thinking that I’m not qualified to be the master of the Stellar Tower?” Qin Yu casts a somewhat cold glance at them.

Azure Dragon laughs out loud and says: “Ha-ha … I really admire you, brother Qin Yu. You’re a human but you dared to come into the underwater Xiuyao world. However, there’s actually little difference between Xiuyaoists, Xiuxianists and Xiumoists. It doesn’t matter what kind of Xiuzhenist you are, as long as you’re powerful, who would dare to doubt your eligibility to be the tower master?”

“Three-Eyed, you got any doubts?”

With his green hair fluttering, Grand Founder Three-Eyed says smilingly: “Doubt what? Brother Qin Yu alone is strong enough. Also, his brother Hou Fei is a divine beast. They undoubtedly deserve to be the Stellar Tower’s masters.”

When the Azure Dragon Palace and the Blue Water Mansion of the other 3 underwater major powers have said so, could the Nine Demons Hall still dare to call this into question?

“You’re indeed brave, tower master Qin Yu. I admire you. I really do.” Di Long says ambiguously, but Di Jian and the others say nothing.

Seeming not to notice Di Long’s mocking tone, Qin Yu says with a nod: “This Qian Long continent is my territory. I can be considered the boss here so I certainly got to do my best to welcome you. First, let me introduce the Qian Long continent to everybody a bit.”

“Then I have to thank you, tower master Qin Yu.” Reverend Yan Xu says with a smile.

Yi Da also looks at Qin Yu with curiosity.

Qin Yu says smilingly: “This Qian Long continent is divided into 3 big dynasties, the Qin dynasty, the Ming dynasty and the Han dynasty. Each of them has several billion people, and when put together, they have a shocking population of 10 billion.”

“10 billion!” Azure Dragon exclaims. “Mortals are really numerous. Though the overseas Xiuzhen world is much larger than this Qian Long continent, it’s got fewer than 10 million Xiuzhenists. But the number of mortals here is near 10 billion.”

Reverend Yan Xu says with a smile: “Mortals are numerous but they’re too weak. They’re simply not in the same league as us Xiuzhenists.”

“You’re right, Reverend Yan Xu. 10 billion? Humph, if we really want to massacre them all, just 100 Xiuzhenists will be enough. We can definitely annihilate this continent’s population.” A large man from the Purple Flame Devilish Dungeon says. This man has long, completely blood-red hair.

Yi Da says with a cold humph: “Jiao Jiu, you can massacre them if you want your Yanmo school to be destroyed.”

This time Yi Da brings Jiao Jiu and Situ Xue with him. These 2 people have both reached the early Kongming stage and they are the ones locked up in prison by Yi Da for 3 whole years in the past.

“I’m just saying.” Jiao Jiu grumbles.

Qin Yu continues: “The Qian Long continent has many mortals, but it also has many demonic beasts. In the east of this continent, there’s a massive wilderness with a great number of demonic beasts. The deeper you go into it, the tougher the demonic beasts you’ll see are. The deep parts of this wilderness may even have Dujie stage and Dacheng stage demonic beasts.”

He is not bullshitting with these words at all.

According to a book talking about this wilderness left behind by Lei Wei, even Lei Wei did not dare to venture into the deep parts of the wilderness. It can be seen from this that those parts have formidable demonic beasts because, after all, Lei Wei was an expert capable of killing Dacheng stage Xiuxianists.

“Dujie stage? Dacheng stage?”

The faces of Azure Dragon, Grand Founder Three-Eyed, Reverend Yan Xu, Yi Da and the others change color greatly.

If there are Dujie stage and Dacheng stage demonic beasts, this group of Xiuzhenists will have absolutely no way to deal with them.

“Are you sure about this, brother Qin Yu? This isn’t something you can joke about.” Azure Dragon says solemnly to Qin Yu. He has heard that the Qian Long continent’s wilderness has demonic beasts, but because the overseas Xiuzhen world has always looked down on a continent of mortals like the Qian Long continent so he has thought that they are merely some normal demonic beasts.

However, today Qin Yu has unexpectedly said that there are Dujie stage and Dacheng stage demonic beasts in the wilderness.

“Of course I am.” Qin Yu says seriously: “This matter is recorded in the books of my school.”

This is indeed recorded in the books of Qin Yu’s school, but Azure Dragon and the others immediately link his school with Uncle Lan.

“If so, this is most probably true.” They immediately become serious.

Azure Dragon is the most powerful in the overseas Xiuzhen world. As a divine beast of the early Kongming stage, he is comparable to an early Dujie stage Xiuxianist. However, the Wilderness has Dujie stage and Dacheng stage demonic beasts and, moreover, the top demonic beasts are generally divine beasts.

“If there are Dujie stage and Dacheng stage divine beasts, then …” When Azure Dragon thinks to this point, his heart trembles with fear.

Immediately, this group of Xiuzhenists from the overseas Xiuzhen world is frightened.

“Ha-ha, don’t worry too much, everybody. In this wilderness, we’ll see stronger demonic beasts as we go deeper. As long as we don’t go deep and provoke those formidable demonic beasts, we’ll be okay, right? So, why worry like that?” Qin Yu advises.

“Bunch of cowards.” Yi Da says with a cold humph.

Azure Dragon gives him a cold look: “Yi Da, only a fool is mindlessly brave.”

Even though Azure Dragon is the no. 1 expert of the overseas Xiuzhen world, Yi Da is still a late Kongming stage Xiumoist so the difference in power between them is not big at all. Moreover, Yi Da has very strange offense so he does not fear Azure Dragon in the least.

“Let’s not argue, gentlemen. We’ve come here to search for the 9^th jade sword and definitely not to fight the wilderness’s demonic beasts.” Reverend Yan Xu says smilingly.

After these words were said, everybody relaxes immediately.

“Ha-ha, that’s right. Why worry, everybody? We’ve come here only to find the 9^th jade sword. What does the formidability of the demonic beasts deep in the wilderness have to do with us?” Lou Ke on one side of Grand Founder Three-Eyed laughs out loud and says.

Everybody keeps discussing while flying extremely fast.

“The Qin dynasty, we’ve arrived in the Qin dynasty.”

Qin Yu’s eyes glisten.

“Qin Yu, you said your home is in the Qin dynasty. Do you want to go home?” Li’er says with a smile: “If you’ve reached your homeland, you should go home to take a look first. Perhaps your family will be very excited to see you.”

Qin Yu looks at one city after another and one town after another then says with a shake of his head: “My father and family should be in the Qin dynasty but I don’t know exactly where they are now. Perhaps I only know where my 2^nd brother is.”

Qin Zheng is the reigning emperor of the Qin dynasty so he should be in the Imperial Palace unless some serious incident has happened.

“Don’t be anxious, brother Qin Yu. Let’s go find the 9^th sword first. We’ll see the result very soon, in just a couple of days. After that, it won’t be late for you to go back and meet your family again.” Azure Dragon laughs out loud and says. Suddenly he says frowningly: “Qin Yu, how long has it been since you joined your school and started to practice? Are your mortal parents still living?”

Qin Yu is startled.

“You’re wrong, Overlord Azure Dragon. My father is also a Xiuzhenist.” He explains.

Azure Dragon understands right away.

The group keeps heading east directly.

“We’re in the 3 Eastern region counties but still going east. Could it be the 9^th jade sword is in the Wilderness?” Qin Yu says frowningly.

Hearing this, the other several tens Xiuzhenists all frown. Everybody looks at the 8 swords and sees them continue flying east straight without any hesitation. After some time, the 3 Eastern region counties have been left behind.

As soon as the group crosses the boundary of the Wilderness, they feel a sharp rise in holy energy density.

“This wilderness seems to be a good place too.” Azure Dragon exclaims.

Qin Yu immediately says loudly: “Everybody, the power of the demonic beasts in this wilderness isn’t something to look down upon. Last time I encountered 2 divine beasts near its edge so all of you must be careful.”

“2 divine beasts?” Azure Dragon frowns. Divine beasts are highly gifted and progress extremely fast in practice. “There are 2 divine beasts near the edge, then how many divine beasts are there in this entire wilderness? Since when have divine beasts become so easy to find?”

Hou Fei says: “Kaka, are you afraid, Azure Dragon? But the density of demonic beasts in this wilderness is really much higher than in the overseas Xiuzhen world so we’d better be careful and fly a bit slower.”

Everybody cannot help slowing down. After all, this is the Wilderness.

“Oh?”

Qin Yu has noticed that prairie where he met a Dragon Rocky lion in the past. Not far from the Dragon Rocky lion, there was a divine beast Hong Luan. However, at the moment he cannot detect the existence of those divine beasts. That prairie is also no longer devoid of demonic beasts as before.

Now that prairie is full of demonic beasts and wild beasts.

“Where has the Dragon Rocky lion gone?” Qin Yu is very doubtful. It has been only 10 years, but both the Dragon Rocky lion and the Hong Luan have unexpectedly disappeared.

All of a sudden --

“What’s happening to the jade swords?” Everybody notices that the 8 flying swords are starting to shake, seeming to be affected by something. They then look as if they want to fly in different directions. At the same time, the whirr of the shaking becomes louder.

Reverend Yan Xu shouts at once: “Everybody, this wilderness is very mysterious. My secret method is no longer effective here. Let’s take back our own swords quickly.”

The 6 bosses take back their own jade swords right away.

“What happened, Yan Xu?” Azure Dragon shouts.

Reverend Yan Xu also says doubtfully with a shake of his head: “Actually I’m not sure what happened either. In theory, these 8 swords should fly in the same direction until they reach the location of the 9^th jade sword. But … just now they unexpectedly wanted to fly in different directions. This is absurd. There is only one 9^th jade sword and it must be at one place, so why did these 8 swords want to fly in different directions?”

Hearing this, everybody knows what went wrong.

The 9^th jade sword must be in one direction, but why did the other 8 swords want to fly in different directions?

“Now the only way to find it is … to quickly gather a large number of Xiuzhenists to this place then tell them to search every piece of land with their holy senses.” Grand Founder Three-Eyed says coldly.

At the moment, both he and Azure Dragon are very frustrated.

Because the Stellar Tower is nearest the Qian Long continent, in the past they gave Qin Yu 2 caves each. These caves are next to the Stellar Tower and also next to the Qian Long continent.

The Wilderness is immense and is covered with countless large forests, mountain ranges and ravines so if these several tens Xiuzhenists search by themselves, who knows when they will find the 9^th sword? Now they can only rely on their subordinates.

Azure Dragon, Grand Founder Three-Eyed, Di Long, Yi Da and Reverend Yan Xu take out their transmitters almost simultaneously and begin to order their respective subordinates to hurry to the Qian Long continent.

From now on, large forces from the overseas Xiuzhen world are going to gather on the Qian Long continent so naturally there is bound to be a storm here.

“Everybody, I got to go home first. This Qin dynasty is my homeland. If any of you wants to look around, I can arrange for someone to help you.”

Qin Yu says smilingly to the other Xiuzhenists.

All of these top figures of the overseas Xiuzhen world immediately bid farewell to him and say that they will come to visit him and sightsee the Qian Long continent when they have time. After that, Qin Yu flies towards the Qin dynasty with Li’er, Hou Fei and Hei Yu.

“Father, I’m back.” Qin Yu cannot suppress the excitement on his face.

Li’er says smilingly: “Look at you, Qin Yu. You’re smiling so big that you look like a clown. Right, when you meet your father, how are you going to introduce us?”

“Fei Fei and Xiao Hei will naturally be my brothers. As for you, big younger sister? It’s no good. I’d better … My father is very wise so he should be able to associate you with me. There should be no need for me to introduce you. I’m a little shy, you know.” Qin Yu says deliberately. Right afterwards, he speeds up, flying through the air extremely fast like a beam of light.

Li’er becomes both shy and angry. She immediately chases after him with a movement of her feet.

“Let go of me! It really hurts!” Qin Yu’s painful cries resound …

End of b8c1.

Hey guys I know this is a bit off topic but I really like this novel and was just wondering if there are any other novels on this site that is similar thanx

Unfortunately only very few novels of this kind have been translated into English, and other than this novel and Zhu Xian, the other translated novels currently have only 10+ translated chapters. Though if you don't mind reading Chinese with the help of Google translate then I can recommend other interesting novels to you.

Starting from scratch I would agree that practicing externally might be necessary, but if you are already Yuanying+ caliber, I'd imagine you could practice the Stellar techniques.

Those who become Xiuzhenists through the internal path can't practice the Stellar transformations because if they disintegrate their jindans/yuanyings, they'll die. Their bodies should be strong enough in theory though.

QinYu is back to his hometown.

I wonder if he will have any homeground advantage in looking for the 9th sword in QianLong continent.

looking forward to the future action - tks he-man.

Great chapter he-man, thanks!

I'm surprised Azure Dragon has no knowledge of the Wilderness...he seems very knowledgeable. I'd think some Qiuzhenists would have explored and recorded things about the Qianlong continent over the years

Thanks he-man

[lawwoo]

Thank you he-man. The 9th sword is with QinYu's father, maybe?

[Dragonkin]

Probably not because Qin de isn't as strong so he probs wouldn't be able to as far into the wilderness I think that a really strong divine beast in the wild has the jade sword
