Chapter Nineteen Decision

  "Big brother!"

  Qin Yu suddenly stood up from his seat, his eyes filled with excitement and agitation.

  However, at this moment, Qin Feng's shock far exceeded that of Qin Yu. When he had just learned of Qin Yu's death, Qin Feng was heartbroken for a long time. In this great war, Qin Feng also had the intention of avenging his third brother, but at this moment, his own third brother was actually standing alive in front of him.

  "Xiao Yu......" Qin Feng suddenly didn't know what to say.

  "Wind, sit down quickly, you'll know about Yu's matter later, don't look anymore, it's your third brother, your third brother is indeed still alive and well." Qin De was also smiling happily, how long had it been since Qin De had such a happy smile.

  Qin Feng suddenly shook his head, what's the point, as long as his third brother didn't die it was a great joy.

  Qin Feng immediately sat down as well, and the five of them sat in a circle. Qin De said, "Yu'er, continue telling us about your experiences in the Desolate Expanse." Just now, Qin Yu had just finished speaking when he was struck by that beam of light and sent to the Desolate Expanse, but hadn't continued his story afterwards.

  Qin Yu smiled and said, "After being transported to the residence of my master in the Hongyuan, I began to cultivate with peace of mind. Later, I realized that the 49th Heaven Tribulation would arrive soon. However... Xiao Hei has passed the 49th Heaven Tribulation earlier than me." Qin Yu smiled and looked at Xiao Hei.

  Qin De, Qin Feng, Feng Yuzi and Xu Yuan all looked at Xiao Hei, their eyes full of astonishment.

  At the age of seven, Qin Yu had already taken in a young eagle. This matter was also known to several people including Qin De, and they could naturally calculate the time it took for Xiao Hei to cultivate. Generally, spiritual creatures with lower intelligence found it even more difficult to cultivate than humans. To reach the realm of Fourth Heavenly Layer in just over a decade was almost an astonishing feat.

  "Xiao Yu," Feng Yuzi exclaimed, "this black eagle was one I couldn't determine its species from the start, and now it has entered the Golden Elixir realm so quickly. It seems that this black eagle is indeed a very special demon beast."

  Xiao Hei flapped his wings and looked very happy, but he didn't communicate with others through spiritual transmission.

  "Haha, Xiao Yu and this black eagle are both freaks. I'm so young yet I've reached the late stage of innate mastery, it's really unbelievable. Xiao Yu is not even twenty yet, but he's already gone through four nine-day tribulations. And Little Black has also passed. This one man and one eagle are truly... freaks, freaks!!!" Qin Feng said with a laugh as he drank his wine.

  Qin De also took a sip of wine and said to Qin Feng, "Feng Er, your third brother is not just passing through the 49th day tribulation. Now Yu Er can even defeat Golden Dan period masters. Not long ago, I and Brother Feng's Ling Shi discovered that Yu Er and this Black Eagle, their speed was so fast, it was dozens of times faster than my sword flying."

  Qin Yu cultivated the "Stellar Transformation", and the power of the stars circulated from the external astral clouds to the internal astral clouds, forming a cycle. The power of the stars constantly shuttled through his muscles and bones, which was also the process of tempering his muscles and bones. Qin Yu's body was comparable to a spiritual artifact.

  Without using the flying sword, Qin Yu Fei's speed in mid-air already surpassed Qin De. Once he stepped on the flying sword, his speed became even faster. As for when he used "Man and Sword as One", it was normal to exceed Qin De by dozens of times.

  The speed of a cultivator's flight also reflects one's strength from another aspect. Qin Yu's such fast speed made Qin De and Feng Yuzi believe in his strength as well.

  "Father, you're making me want to die of shame. Even a late-stage Golden Elixir can defeat me? I'm only at the pre-heavenly stage and yet I'm still the older brother." Qin Feng said with his mouth, but in reality he was very happy.

  Xu Yuan, who was standing aside, said: "Alright, stop being modest, one by one. Qin Feng, you're so young and have already reached the Post-Heavenly stage, it's embarrassing for me, an old guy who hasn't even reached the Pre-Heavenly stage yet, I'd better go home and cry."

  Everyone present burst out laughing after hearing Xu Yuan's words.

  Xu Yuan's talent in martial arts was indeed average, and after all these years, he still hadn't reached the Xiantian realm.

  "Alright, Yu'er, continue," Qin De asked with a smile, and the others also looked at Qin Yu, everyone was very curious about the mysterious Hongyuan. Having ventured ten thousand miles in, although this wasn't even close to the depths of Hongyuan, there were hardly any Upper Immortals who dared to do so in the past.

  Qin Yu took a sip of wine, opened his chest and talked freely: "My heavenly tribulation with Xiao Hei was actually more dangerous for Xiao Hei. There were nearly a thousand green flame wolves in the surrounding mountain forest. Although these green flame wolves didn't have a Golden Core stage, even the weakest ones were at the Pre-Heavenly Early Stage. Nearly a thousand green flame wolves surrounded us when Xiao Hei was going through his 49th heavenly tribulation."

  Everyone stopped eating and drinking.

  Almost a thousand congenital boundary demon beasts attacked, and they also knew that Qin Yu had not passed the tribulation at that time, and his strength was only at the peak of congenital. Although seeing Qin Yu still alive now, he still worried about Qin Yu in his heart at that time.

  "Big brother, don't tell anyone that I have 'inherited memories'." Qin Yu's mind suddenly heard Xiao Hei's voice, Qin Yu smiled and transmitted his spiritual sense: "Don't worry, I won't tell others your secret."

  Qin Yu continued to talk about the past: "Fortunately, I had the Yan Fei sword and the Yan Fei fist set, so I risked my life. Xiao Hei survived the 49-day tribulation and his strength greatly increased. With one breath, he killed many Qing Huo wolves, and that group of Qing Huo wolves finally left."

  Qin De and the others finally let out a sigh of relief, but they also knew that Qin Yu's words were simple, yet the scene at that time was definitely extremely tragic. After all, nearly a thousand Blue Flame Wolves surrounded them, attacking from all sides.

  ……

  After a long time, Qin Yu finally finished telling the story of his journey through the Desolate Expansion. Of course, he didn't mention that his master, Lei Wei, came from another universe, nor did he say much about some of the secret techniques in "Stellar Transformations".

  "Divine Beast Dragon Rock Lion! Divine Beast Red Swan!" Feng Yu Zi took a deep breath.

  When Qin Yu said the last part, even they could feel the ferocity of these two great divine beasts just from Qin Yu's words. Divine beasts are divine beasts because of their innate ferocity. When divine beasts are first born, they are also very weak.

  But for Feng Yu Zi and others, the divine beast of Yuan Ying period was an absolutely invincible existence.

  "At least in the infant stage. And it's a defensive and offensive dragon rock lion that is off the charts, as well as a red phoenix-like bird. These two divine beasts, even if they are in the infant stage, can absolutely keep up with the cave void period cultivators." Feng Yuzi knew this as a cultivator regarding some demon beasts.

  Qin De and others were all stunned.

  Cultivator of the Void Spirit stage?

  This has already exceeded their imagination, from the Yuan Ying period to the Dongxu period, they have to go through the 'Six Nine Great Heavenly Calamities', and between the Yuan Ying period and the Dongxu period is a barrier. A mere pre-Yuan Ying Xiang Yang is already invincible in the eyes of Qin De and Feng Yu Zi.

  Cultivators of the Void Period, Qin De and Feng Yu Zi were like infants in front of giants compared to such masters.

  "It's okay, it's okay." Qin De was also worried about his own son for a while.

  Qin Yu helplessly said, "No way, they're just too strong. Luckily, Hong Lian appeared in the end and had a great battle with Long Yan Shi, otherwise I'm afraid that Little Hei and I would have been eaten by Long Yan Shi already. Long Yan Shi... is really too strong."

  Qin Yu recalled the scene at the time and still felt a sense of oppression.

  "It's not just strong, the defense of the Longyan Lion is even stronger than that of a dragon of the same level. Even if it's a Yuanying period cultivator with a high-grade flying sword, they would still need an upper-grade flying sword to break through its defenses. And as for Honglian, ordinary flying swords wouldn't even be able to get close before being melted by her protective flames." Feng Yuzi said excitedly.

  Everyone fell silent for a moment.

  Such a divine beast, for Feng Yuzi and others who are still in the Golden Elixir stage at this moment, can only look up to it.

  "It's all right, such a divine beast won't leave the Primordial Continent, what's there to worry about?" Feng Yuzi looked at everyone's expressions and hurriedly comforted them. However, Feng Yuzi shook his head and smiled: "No wonder, no wonder, with so many demonic beasts in the Primordial Continent, even cultivators from the overseas immortal islands don't dare to venture deep into the continent, they only dare to roam around the borders."

  Not yet in the depths of the Desolate Expanse, two at least Yuanying-stage divine beasts have appeared. What kind of existence will there be if we go deeper into the Desolate Expanse?

  "Into the depths of the Desolate Expanse? I reckon even a High Master in the Great Completion stage wouldn't dare." Qin Yu thought to himself, he also knew about the terror of the depths of the Desolate Expanse from some of Lei Wei's notes and books. Even with Lei Wei's strength, which could kill a High Master in the Great Completion stage, when they were near the deepest part of the Desolate Expanse back then, they didn't dare to continue approaching.

  ……

  After talking about Qin Yu's journey through the Desolate Lands, everyone began discussing the war process of the Qin family's uprising. After a long time, they had drunk a lot of wine and eaten many dishes. At this moment, there was a hint of brightness in the sky, and it turned out that dawn had already broken.

  The midnight feast had been going on for half a night and still showed no signs of ending.

  "Your Majesty, this time you ordered us not to attack, only to defend the city. Why is that? We have already occupied eleven counties, and as long as we surround them on three sides, breaking through the Chu State will be a trivial matter." It wasn't until now that Qin Feng remembered the purpose of this trip.

  Qin De smiled wryly upon hearing this.

  Xu Yuanshu said: "Qin Feng, you don't know that yesterday during the day, Xiang Zhong from the Xiang family came."

  "Ah-Ha!"

  "Ah-Ha!"

  Qin Yu and Qin Feng almost exclaimed at the same time, Qin Yu continued, "It can't be that Xiang Yang, the first emperor who really opened up the Chu Dynasty?" Qin Feng also looked at Xu Yuan and Qin De, his heart was also very surprised.

  "That's right, it's him." Qin De nodded and said, "Moreover, he has already reached the early stage of Yuan Ying."

  Qin Yu's face changed slightly, but in his heart, he was secretly thinking.

  At this point, Xiang Yang had reached the early Yuan Ying stage. Back when he was in the early Xing Yun stage, he had killed a late Jindan stage Hei Feng Bao. Now, he had taken another step forward and reached the mid Xing Yun stage. Logically speaking, he should also be able to exchange blows with Xiang Yang.

  But from the late stage of Jindan to the early stage of Yuanying, it's not just a difference in one's own strength, but also a gap in the realm of comprehension of the Heavenly Dao. The gap in the realm is difficult to make up for, and Qin Yu also feels that he has lost his grasp at this moment.

  "If I join forces with Xiao Hei and we both use our special moves, we might just succeed." Qin Yu thought to himself.

  Qin De continued, "That Item is extremely arrogant and actually dares to make my Qin family directly return to the three counties of the Eastern Domain." A hint of cold smile appeared on Qin De's face, "Hmph, he's just a cultivator who thinks he can make me surrender with absolute force, how is that possible?"

  Qin Feng also stood up and said: "What's there to be afraid of? My three armies will kill him, what can he do even if he is strong?"

  Qin De then let out a long sigh: "Right, he can't do anything to the great army, but... he can wipe out my entire Qin family." Qin Feng was stunned upon hearing this. If a Yuan Ying period expert really went all out, it wouldn't be difficult to kill off the entire Qin family.

  "So... I can only compromise, I can only threaten him with a large army. Once he makes a move on my Qin family's children, I'll risk being killed along with my entire household to wipe out his entire family, the Xiangs. Only then will this old man have something to worry about."

  Qin Feng finally understood his father's difficulties at this moment.

  "Wipe out the entire Qin family, it was possible in the past, but now it's no longer possible." Qin Yu's icy voice sounded.

  Qin De, Feng Yuzi, Qin Feng and Xu Yuan all looked at Qin Yu at this moment. They were a bit unbelievable that the domineering words had actually come out of Qin Yu's mouth. However, the sharp aura on Qin Yu's body and the cold light in his eyes had already explained his determination.

  "Xiao Yu, you're no match for him!" Feng Yuzi coldly rebuked, "Although you can kill a late-stage Golden Elixir cultivator, the difference between a late-stage Golden Elixir and an early-stage Nascent Soul is too great. That's a gap in realm, which is hard to make up with just power. The other person has cultivated for nearly a thousand years, while you've only been cultivating for twenty years. How can your realm compare?"

  Qin Yu understood Feng Yuzi's words, but he didn't say anything.

  The gap in the boundary, Qin Yu didn't know what his boundary was, but he knew one thing, every moment of Flowing Star Tears' energy slowly nourished his soul, and Qin Yu's boundary was almost always slowly increasing.

  Although slow, it is winning by not stopping.

  "Feather, don't be impatient, we can endure. When you're not here, I have no way out, but when you come, I have a plan. You just hold on for now. In twenty years, you've reached your current state with your cultivation speed. If you cultivate for another ten or twenty years, by then, you'll have absolute confidence to take action." Qin De knew his third son Qin Yu's temperament, once he made up his mind, it was impossible to persuade him, so he could only use this method to speak.

  Qin Yu nodded but didn't say anything else, he didn't want his father, the king, to worry.

  "Xiao Hei, are you and I confident in dealing with a Yuan Ying stage cultivator together?" Qin Yu's spiritual sense transmitted his voice.

  "When I met the Longyan Lion, that divine beast didn't kill me. Big brother, you were actually intimidated by a Yuan Infant stage cultivator." Little Hei's spiritual sense transmission echoed in Qin Yu's mind, and upon hearing it, Qin Yu couldn't help but smile slightly.

  Naturally, Qin Yu also made his decision.
