The Fourth Set of Stars Changes Chapter 2: The Heavenly Tribulation Arrives Ahead of Schedule?

  "What a huge storage room." Qin Yu opened the large door of the storage room on the first floor of 'Lei Shan Ju', and the area, which was roughly the same size as the martial arts training hall, left Qin Yu in shock. However, what shocked Qin Yu even more was that this storage room was filled with all sorts of ores.

  Red, green, gold, silver, black, white...

  All sorts of colors and halos were emitted, like an attractive treasure trove. Qin Yu's first impression was that the minerals in it were all extremely precious crystals, and none of them were inferior to Shi Zhong Yi Tie. This was Qin Yu's feeling.

  "Master, in the past when Master Lei was drifting through the universe, he once arrived at a strange planet. That planet not only had an extremely strong gravitational pull, but it was also covered with all sorts of precious crystals. Master dug up quite a few of the better ones among them. According to the Cultivation Realm's terminology, these are all top-grade crystals that can be used to refine top-grade spiritual artifacts." A small cat suddenly appeared out of thin air and floated beside Qin Yu.

  Qin Yu couldn't help but be greatly shocked.

  The crystal stones for refining the top-grade spiritual equipment, Qin Yu still remembered what Feng Yuzi said back then. In the overseas immortal island, a single high-grade spiritual equipment was extremely precious, let alone these piles of top-grade crystal stones that filled up almost half of the storage room.

  Qin Yu's hand involuntarily stretched out wanting to pick one up and take a look, however—

  Pong!

  Qin Yu's hand had not yet touched the crystal stones when a rebounding force was transmitted, causing Qin Yu's entire body to shake. He dissipated the rebounding force and Xiao Xing hastily said: "Master, the original master of the Lei Wei once told me that using these top-grade crystal stones is absolutely forbidden if one's cultivation has not reached the Star Core stage."

  "Oh... Master indeed has a thorough consideration, cultivators would kill each other for a decent crystal stone, let alone an extreme-quality one." Qin Yu smiled slightly, but then frowned and said, "But having a treasure mountain that can only be looked at is really suffocating."

  Xiao Xing swung her cat tail with a pleased expression and said: "Meow~~~ Master has already prepared everything for you. Look, on the edge of that cabinet, there is a ring on the cabinet, and that ring is exactly the 'Space Ring'. The Space Ring is much more advanced than your master's storage wristband, oh, and the space inside is very large."

  Xiao Xing was still speaking when Qin Yu immediately walked over and took the ring directly.

  He directly recognized the master, Qin Yu put on this space ring. As soon as he put on the space ring, Qin Yu felt the wonders of this ring. The vastness of the space inside was simply astonishing.

  "How big is the space of this spatial ring?" Qin Yu took a glance and was shocked. The storage ring's space was only the size of a room, while the spatial ring alone had a length and width of over 10,000 meters, and its height was also over 10,000 meters, it was simply not on the same level.

  It's just a big mountain, and it can be easily loaded in.

  Xiao Xing was wagging his tail with pride, saying: "Master Lei Wei is in the Refining Realm, when it comes to refining equipment, he says second, absolutely no one dares to say first! This 'Dream' ring is a space ring refined by Master Lei Wei to commemorate his hometown planet. Master Lei Wei said that the space of this Dream ring is much larger than that so-called number one space ring in the Refining Realm, the 'Mingxu Ring'."

  Qin Yu's heart moved, and the illusory ring directly hid and disappeared. Such a treasure absolutely cannot be taken out, after all, his own strength was really too weak. Of course, this also requires the other party to have the ability to see the ring's might.

  "In the future, I'll still use this ordinary storage ring to put on a front, otherwise, because of this dreamy ring, being robbed would be terrible." Qin Yu understood the principle of not revealing one's wealth, especially when his powers were still relatively weak in the Xian Tian realm.

  The dream ring, although hidden and merged into his body, had no effect on Qin Yu's use of it.

  "Ah, there's still something in here." Qin Yu suddenly discovered that the dream ring had some hidden items. Upon closer inspection, they were crystal stones, but these crystal stones didn't seem as precious as the top-grade crystal stones he saw in the storage room earlier.

  "Master, those are mid-grade crystal stones and some high-grade crystal stones. They were left by Master Lei Wei for you to refine equipment. There's also a bottle of spiritual elixir - 'Bijuzhu Dan', which is used to recover from injuries."

  Qin Yu smiled upon hearing this, "Injuries?"

  At least Qin Yu felt that this Bi Zhu Dan was a very good spiritual elixir in theory, but its efficacy absolutely could not compare to his own "Flowing Star Tears". For the Flowing Star Tears that had saved his life, Qin Yu had an indescribable feeling.

  "It's time to start cultivating, if you want to survive the journey through the desolate wilderness and return. Without reaching the 'Star Cloud Stage' (equivalent to the Golden Elixir Stage), it's simply impossible to succeed." Qin Yu immediately left the room and began to cultivate seriously.

  Qin Yu cultivated the "Tongtian San Tu", and had already reached the realm of three-colored armor, with 108 columns of Qi surrounding his body. However, Qin Yu still couldn't sense when the heavenly tribulation would arrive. He understood that this required a certain level of enlightenment in the Heavenly Way. In a flash, seven days passed, during which Qin Yu read through many cultivation books. These books also talked about how to cultivate after reaching the Pre-Heavenly Great Completion, in order to sense the arrival of the heavenly tribulation.

  Qin Yu followed some of the methods and began to cultivate.

  Outside the residence of Leishan, in the middle of a crescent-shaped emerald lake, Qin Yu stood still with his eyes closed, his feet floating motionless on the surface of the water. At the same time, 108 columns of air surrounded his body.

  In the past, one had to follow the movements of the "Tongtian San Tu" in order to form silver, gold and purple gas pillars. However, during that great battle at Qinglian Mountain Range, Qin Yu's final explosion led to a breakthrough, and even if he didn't move, he could still simultaneously manifest three-colored armor.

  But to be able to tread on floating water without sinking down at all, this is what Qin Yu has only recently come to realize.

  His mind entered a state of profound clarity, as if he was one with the vast and mysterious universe. Within a radius of several miles, Qin Yu could clearly sense the vitality and energy of all living creatures, whether they were plants or animals. In just seven short days, Qin Yu's progress was truly astonishing.

  "Boom!"

  Qin Yu's mind was suddenly shocked, and he couldn't maintain his previous state, directly falling into the water. Qin Yu suddenly woke up, slapped the water with one hand, and stood on the surface of the water again. At this moment, Qin Yu was full of excitement.

  "In five months, it will be the 49th day of tribulation. Great, it's really great!" Qin Yu's eyes were filled with excitement. Just now, a vast and mighty energy had directly penetrated into the depths of his mind, and afterwards, he understood when he would cross the tribulation. This feeling was truly mysterious."

  At this moment, a eagle's cry echoed in the sky, and the black eagle dived down directly. In these days, the black eagle often hunted and killed the ferocious beasts around it. Generally, the innate ferocious beasts were not the opponent of the black eagle.

  Qin Yu was quietly cultivating in the vast wilderness, undisturbed. However, at this moment, the Chu royal court was turbulent and hidden undercurrents were surging. The Qin family's mobilization of troops and deployment of generals, the movement of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, could not be kept secret from the spies of the Xiang family. The Qin family is going to rebel!

  Xiang Jia suddenly learned of this news and was at a loss for what to do.

  "What's going on? Ah, Shangguan Hong said that there are still a few years left, and the secret letter from 'Anqi' also said that it would be two years before the Qin family rebels. How can they suddenly mobilize troops and deploy generals to the border now?" Xiang Guang was furious at this moment.

  The hawk-nosed man beside him didn't dare make a sound, as Xiang Guangke was now in a rage.

  How could Xiang Guang not be angry? Originally, he thought that the Qin family would rebel in two years, and his Xiang family had naturally formulated a series of measures. However, now it has been advanced by so much, which naturally made Xiang Guang unprepared.

  "Have the mountain bandits of Heishui Mountains been taken care of? These bandits have been in Heishui Mountains for hundreds of years, and their power has only grown stronger. Until now, they still can't be eradicated. However... it's a good thing now, let them drag down the Qin family." Xiang Guang said with a cold smile.

  The hawk-nosed man hastily said: "Your Majesty, this matter is just what I was about to report. The black water mountain bandits have a particularly large appetite, and I dare not make any decisions on my own..." The hawk-nosed man took out a letter from his bosom and handed it over to Xiang Guang.

  "Don't say so much, at this time still worrying about so many things." Xiang Guang scolded, but still took the letter.

  As soon as the letter was unfolded, Xiang Guang's face changed even though he had prepared himself: "Damn it, this bunch of scoundrels, a group of mountain bandits at best, actually dared to set so many conditions for me, asking for so many troops and supplies. It's really...it's really..."

  He clenched his fists and took a deep breath, then sneered: "Fine, I'll grant their request. They dare to ask for it? I'll give it to them. Once the Qin family is destroyed, I'll make these mountain bandits spit everything back out, with interest!"

  "Yes, Your Majesty!" The hawk-nosed man hastily bowed his head and said.

  "Go!" Xiang Guang waved his hand casually, and the eagle-nosed man immediately bowed and left.

  ————————

  The town's east Wang Wang Fu was originally Qin Yu's solitary courtyard.

  Qin De stood beside the willow tree, looking up at it with his head held high, standing still like that. Since Qin De returned, he often came to the solitary courtyard where Qin Yu was once in. Standing like this could last for a whole day, and no one dared to disturb him.

  Closing his eyes, what appeared in Qin De's mind was the scene of that Tribulation War.

  ……

  "Ah~~~~~~~~~"

  Qin Yu suddenly looked up at the sky and let out a long roar, his face twisted in a fierce expression. His hands transformed into dragon claws, emitting a sharp whistling sound as they tore through the air. "Hiss~~" The sound of flesh being torn apart filled the air as Qin Yu's claws sank into Wu Xing's chest. A cold glint flashed in Qin Yu's eyes, and with a swift grab of his right hand, Wu Xing's heart was crushed to pieces by Qin Yu.

  ……

  In that battle, Qin Yu's ferocity and fearlessness in the face of death were on full display. The Four Cardinal Killers, the treacherous Ge Min, and Wu Xing all fell one by one under Qin Yu's frenzied assault. Even when facing off against the cultivator Wu Xing, who had the upper hand, Qin Yu still fought with every ounce of strength he had, disregarding his own life to kill his opponent.

  What is everything for?

  Those scenes kept emerging in Qin De's mind, and his heart was increasingly sorrowful. He knew why his son had gone so crazy. He would never forget everything his son had done for him, every move and every style of his son, the fierce eyes of his son fighting with the enemy, and the determination to die together with Wu Xing.

  All of this, he will never forget!

  "Yu'er, I'm sorry to you. Now, I can't do anything for you or make up for it. I can only flatten the House of Item, kill Xiang Guang and Wu De to accompany your burial. Don't worry in the underground, hurry up, there are still half a year, after half a year, the great war will begin." Qin De's eyes flashed with cold light.

  However... Qin De did not know that at this moment, Qin Yu was cultivating in the Hong Huang where the legendary crisis was lurking.

  In the vast expanse of chaos.

  In the midst of a mountain forest, a gigantic blue wolf, as large as a tiger, was slowly advancing forward. A pair of bloodthirsty eyes scanned its surroundings. Suddenly, the blue wolf's fur stood on end, and flames erupted from its body.

  Pong!

  That blue giant wolf suddenly let out a painful howl, and was kicked flying like a sandbag, smashing into an old tree. The old tree "cracked" and split open, directly crashing into other trees.

  "Copper head, iron bone, tofu waist, indeed not fake." Qin Yu's figure suddenly appeared beside the giant green wolf. At this moment, he was wrapped in animal hide, and his nearly perfect muscles were completely exposed. At this moment, Qin Yu had a fierce aura about him.

  The waist of the blue giant wolf was completely twisted, and Qin Yu's leg had apparently broken its waistbone. But wolves are extremely ferocious beasts, especially this kind of cyan fire wolf.

  "Aaaaooo~~~" The green flame wolf suddenly raised its head and let out a loud howl.

  "Summoning allies? What a pity, under my spiritual awareness, you wanting to surround me is simply impossible." Qin Yu's current spiritual awareness range had almost reached a thousand meters, however this mountain forest was really too vast, and those Azure Fire Wolves would need a bit of time to hurry over.

  "Hiss~~" The cyan flame wolf's forelimbs were slightly hidden, with a fierce glow flashing in its eyes, and flames raging all over its body. However, this cyan flame wolf was only at the prenatal boundary, and these flames couldn't harm Qin De's body at all. Suddenly, the cyan flame wolf's body leapt up, and its two wolf claws seemed to tear through the air, slashing towards Qin Yu.

  Qin Yu's body produced several illusions and then returned to its original position, as if it had never moved.

  The green flame wolf had already flown back, and at this moment, the green flame wolf's double claws were broken off. The entire wolf head was twisted in a strange way. In that instant, Qin Yu relied on his body speed and hands to directly break its claws and fold its head.

  "The blue flame wolf is so fast!" Qin Yu's spiritual awareness had already discovered that three blue flame wolves had appeared within a kilometer range, and the three blue flame wolves were rushing towards him at an extremely fast speed of almost 100 meters per second. Qin Yu stood still, not moving at all.

  Three Blue Flame Wolves suddenly appeared in Qin Yu's line of sight, and upon seeing the dead Blue Flame Wolf, they immediately went into a frenzy, letting out a few wolf howls. The three Blue Flame Wolves then charged forward together, attacking Qin Yu simultaneously.

  Qin Yu remained still as three cyan fire wolves approached him.

  "Cheers!"

  Qin Yu let out a low, fierce cry, and a sharp aura burst forth from his eyes. At the same time, 108 columns of air appeared around his body. In that instant, Qin Yu transformed into three people, each one striking the three-headed green flame wolf's head with an iron fist in a straight line.

  "Pong!" The three cyan flame wolves fell to the ground powerless, their heads didn't shatter at all, but inside their heads were shattered into powder by Qin Yu's dark energy.

  One move, three wolves die.

  "The ultimate cultivation of 'Tongtian Three Diagrams' should be the strongest technique in close combat." Qin Yu's eyes sparkled with excitement. On the day of the Tribulation War, Qin Yu had finally grasped the method of simultaneously protecting his body with 108 Qi Pillars from the "Tongtian Three Diagrams" in order to save his father, King. Under that circumstance, Qin Yu's speed had increased several times over.

  However, after fighting in this chaos for more than two months, Qin Yu also discovered many benefits of having 108 air columns circling his body at the same time.

  "Hiss, one dies and three come, three die and dozens come, hoo-hoo, this life is not playing anymore~~~" Qin Yu laughed and his body moved, only to see a residual shadow flashing in the woods, disappearing after a few flashes.

  Dozens of Blue Flame Wolves, if Qin Yu really fought with all his might, could kill them clean at most. However, dozens died, and then hundreds, thousands of Blue Flame Wolves followed. In the mountain forest near "Lei Shan Ju" where Qin Yu was located, there were at least a thousand Blue Flame Wolves. Even Qin Yu did not dare to fight such a large number of Blue Flame Wolves.

  Out of this jungle, Qin Yu entered another mountain range near Leishanju.

  "Roar~~" A black striped tiger stared at Qin Yu, roaring continuously, but it seemed to sense Qin Yu's ferocity and didn't dare attack immediately.

  Suddenly a sharp eagle cry sounded, a black lightning bolt shot down from the high sky at extreme speed, two sharp claws directly grasped the spine of the black striped tiger, easily tearing it open, with a "bang" sound, the head of the black striped tiger was pecked into a hole.

  "Xiao Hei, what's going on with you lately? You've killed too many wild beasts, and they're all the strong ones. I finally met a black-striped tiger that was almost at its physical limit, and you went ahead and killed it." Qin Yu said discontentedly.

  Little Hei spread its huge wings and kept jumping up and down, chirping non-stop. Qin Yu couldn't help but smile at the sight.

  Time flies quickly, and it has been three months since I arrived in the vast wilderness.

  On this day, Qin Yu sat cross-legged on the lake shore, in a state of complete stillness. Cultivation is not just about killing and cultivating, but also about cultivating one's mind. When facing an enemy, those with weak minds will become nervous and perform abnormally. Those with average minds can perform normally and occasionally go crazy. But those with truly strong and resilient minds are like Mount Tai crumbling in front of them, yet their faces remain unchanged, their minds in a state of absolute calm analysis of the enemy's weaknesses.

  Suddenly——

  "Wow~~~"

  A strong wind suddenly rose, the towering trees in the vast wilderness swayed constantly, and the wild beasts also quieted down, as if they had sensed something terrifying. The floating clouds in the sky were swept away, and what was just daytime a moment ago, the sky suddenly turned dark red.

  Qin Yu's eyes suddenly opened wide, staring at the sky above. This scene was so familiar, exactly like when his father, the king, had crossed over to the other side.

  "What's this 'Four Nine Heavenly Tribulation'?" Qin Yu was shocked, "Could it be that there's some powerful demonic beast undergoing tribulation nearby? But I've been here for so long, and within a radius of dozens of miles, there doesn't seem to be any particularly strong wild beasts."

  Only to see the dark red sky produce a huge vortex, the entire dark red sky also produces electric snakes out of thin air, and the electric snakes are absorbed by the vortex, gathering towards the vortex. In just an instant, the vortex transformed into a purple calamity cloud.

  The strangest thing is... this purple cloud of disaster is right above Qin Yu's head.

  "What... me, my heavenly tribulation?" Qin Yu was stunned, he clearly remembered that his heavenly tribulation should still be more than two months away, how did it suddenly appear, and the purple tribulation cloud even appeared above his head.

  Has the heavenly calamity arrived ahead of schedule?
