The Fourth Set of Stars Chapter 27: A New Journey

  Five short knives and a black long spear were suspended in mid-air.

  "Father King, these five short knives and long spears are for you." Qin Yu said with a smile.

  "Ah, this is..." Qin De's face showed a hint of madness, "Weren't these five short knives collected by Wu Xing last time?" Qin De completely understood, with Wu Xing dead, Qin Yu naturally took Wu Xing's treasure.

  However, such treasures are usually kept by oneself and rarely given to others.

  Feng Yuzi looked at the black long gun and exclaimed, "This long gun is indeed the 'Hegemon's Gun' of the Xiang family. In that battle at Wujing, although I was on the banks of the river, I still saw how formidable this Hegemon's Gun was. Xiao Yu, you killed Xiang Yang and even managed to get his Hegemon's Gun, truly..."

  Qin Yu smiled: "Unfortunately, his armor was corroded by Xiao Hei's ultimate move and is now useless."

  In the distance, Xiao Hei immediately transmitted his voice through spiritual sense: "Big brother, what a pity? If it wasn't for his war armor being corroded by my Dark Moon technique, you would have found it very difficult to kill him so easily. You're also quite something, suffering such severe injuries and yet swimming underwater for so long just to retrieve this spear."

  Facing Xiao Hei's questioning, Qin Yu didn't respond at all.

  "Father, these three secret books were given to me by my master, but I don't need them anymore. I can guarantee that these three secret books are the top-level cultivation methods in the Xiuzhen world, but for a cultivator, the cultivation method is just a bridge, and the real path still needs to be walked step by step by oneself. With this secret book, Uncle Feng and Father still need to work hard, the effect of this secret book is not that great." Qin Yu said with a smile.

  Feng Yu Zi shook his head and said, "Xiao Yu, don't be so modest. This cultivation manual has a set of matching attack methods that come with it. With this top-notch technique, even if we're one level lower than our opponent, we can still use the powerful and profound attack methods to fight them head-on."

  The battle between cultivators is a contest of combat power.

  Combat power comes from spiritual instruments, cultivation, and various attack methods. In other words, when cultivators fight each other, they are competing in terms of their spiritual instruments, elixirs, personal cultivation, and some special attack methods. Just like Qin Yu and Xiao Hei.

  Finally, Qin Yu displayed the 'Stellar Domain. Shooting Star Strike'. Xiao Hei also displayed a move from Dark Moon that was even more powerful than Lei Huo's. Only then did they manage to kill Xiang Yang, who had been much stronger. The method of attack and the spiritual artifact were equally important.

  "My king, I also have ten Spirit Healing Pills - 'Bí Zhū Dān' here, which are very effective in healing injuries for cultivators." Qin Yu took out a bottle from his spatial ring, containing the ten Bí Zhū Dān.

  Bijudan, a sacred medicine for healing injuries. Generally, injuries to the five internal organs and six hollow organs are difficult to repair even for cultivators, but taking one Bijudan will quickly restore them.

  Qin Yu had a tear of stardust. The Azure Vermilion Pill was now dispensable, but Qin Yu only took out more than half of the bottle of Azure Vermilion Pill left by Lei Wei. He left the remaining three pills in another bottle, which he prepared for Xiao Hei.

  "Bì Zhū Dān, you say it's Bì Zhū Dān." Fēng Yù Zǐ suddenly opened his eyes wide.

  Qin Yu was taken aback, and Feng Yuzi couldn't help but be shocked.

  "Huh...yes, it's Bi Zhu Dan, Uncle Feng. What's wrong?" Qin Yu asked in confusion.

  Feng Yu Zi stared at the jade bottle, shocked and said: "Bì Zhū Dān, and there are ten Bì Zhū Dān! Xiao Yu, who is your master? This Bì Zhū Dān is a top-grade spiritual elixir. Even one pill is extremely precious. You actually have ten!"

  "Top-grade Spirit Pellet?"

  "Yes, I'm telling you, a Bi Zhu Dan is very important. A cultivator's true yuan energy can be replenished once it's depleted, but if the five organs and six viscera are injured, repairing them is extremely difficult." Feng Yu Zi sighed, "The five organs and six viscera are fragile and can only be slowly nourished by true yuan energy to allow them to slowly repair themselves. But with Bi Zhu Dan, they can be repaired in just a few days."

  For cultivators, replenishing elixirs are nothing. On the other hand, elixirs that repair internal injuries to the five organs and six viscera are extremely precious.

  Even if it's a cultivator, once the physical function is dead, those who have reached the Dongxu period can only abandon their bodies and repair the scattered immortals. Those who have not reached the Dongxu period will directly lose their souls and be finished.

  "Xiao Yu, you'd better keep this Bi Zhu Dan for yourself. The one your master left you is a treasure that will save your life in the future." Feng Yu Zi said sincerely to Qin Yu, even if it were ten top-grade spiritual pills, Feng Yu Zi didn't have any greedy thoughts.

  "Qin Yu, in the future when you cultivate your Taoist path, who knows what kind of danger you might encounter. This Bì Zhū Dan you must definitely bring with you as a precaution." Qin De gazed at Qin Yu and instructed him.

  Qin Yu felt a sense of helplessness in his heart. As for healing internal injuries, was there anything better than the Starlight Tears?

  Even a heart pierced by such a fatal wound can be healed. The Meteor Tears are capable of repairing it, and their efficacy is beyond comparison to even the top-grade Spirit Pills or Supreme Spirit Pills. I reckon not even the legendary Panacea would be able to compare to this.

  "Father, Uncle Feng, don't worry anymore. I still have some Bi Zhu Dan left for myself. These ten are just for you." Qin Yu said as he took out another jade bottle containing three more Bi Zhu Dan, opened the stopper, and Qin De and Feng Yuzi smelled the refreshing fragrance of Bi Zhu Dan, and they also believed him.

  Qin Yu hastily added: "Your Majesty, this is my heartfelt intention. If you don't accept it, I won't be able to leave the Profound Dragon Continent with a clear conscience."

  "Leave the Hidden Dragon Continent!!!"

  Qin Zheng, Qin Feng and Qin De all exclaimed in surprise, for a moment they all forgot about Bi Zhu Dan's matter.

  "Yes, leaving the Profound Dragon Continent, I'm ready to embark on a journey with Xiao Hei into the world of cultivators." Qin Yu nodded firmly, this decision he had made long ago, in the Profound Dragon Continent he no longer had any goals.

  It is only by embarking on a journey full of opportunities and dangers that life becomes meaningful.

  Qin De let out a sigh, but then burst into laughter: "Yu'er. Ever since you returned from the Hongyuan this time, I knew that you had undergone a transformation of heaven and earth. This time, you killed Xiang Yang again, yes, at the age of 20, you have already reached such a realm. Feng Xiong, Yu'er's achievements are estimated to be considered a genius in the entire Xiuzhen world."

  Feng Yuzi nodded in amazement and said: "It's not just a genius, it's a rare encounter that can only happen once in ten thousand years."

  Qin De nodded and said, "Yes, at the age of twenty, you have already reached such a realm. The Hidden Dragon Continent no longer has any challenge for you. I should have thought of this earlier. You shouldn't be confined to this small place called the Hidden Dragon Continent."

  "Yuer, Father supports you! One should live for oneself, and make a big splash towards one's own goals. Haha, who knows, maybe after thousands of years, our Qin family will also have an immortal deity rising to the heavens? Yuer, what do you say?" Qin De looked at Qin Yu with a smile.

  Qin Yu nodded and said: "Yes, Your Majesty."

  Feng Yuzi smiled and said, "You father and son are really arrogant. Do you think it's easy to ascend? My sect has been around for countless tens of millions of years. In history, only two seniors have ever ascended, and both of them ascended tens of millions of years ago."

  Qin De said: "Feng brother, this statement is incorrect. Have you ever seen Yu'er reach such a state at the age of twenty?"

  Feng Yuzi was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head: "No."

  "That's right, isn't it? Yu'er has already created such a miracle. Isn't that ascension? I have 100% confidence in my son." Qin De looked at Qin Yu, his eyes full of paternal love and concern.

  Qin Yu also nodded heavily and said: "I am very confident too."

  Feng Yuzi couldn't help but smile wryly and said, "You father-son duo, alright, you can continue your self-indulgence."

  After that, Qin Yu and his brothers, Qin Zheng and Qin Feng, often chatted together. Qin Zheng and Qin Feng knew that after ascending to the throne, Qin Yu would leave, so they also took advantage of the last moments to chat with him.

  Qin Yu usually calms his mind and cultivates or chats with loved ones. Spending the last moments on the Profound Dragon Continent.

  ……

  Feng Yu Zi's residence.

  "Wind Uncle, what's this?" Qin Yu looked at the jade slip in his hand with confusion.

  Feng Yuzi smiled and said, "Xiao Yu, this jade slip contains a map of the sea route to my sect. The ocean is vast and boundless, if you run blindly, who knows where you'll end up? You might even stumble upon a demon island and get swallowed whole, losing your golden elixir and primordial infant, what a pity that would be."

  "Thanks, Uncle Feng." Qin Yu naturally knew what Wind Jade meant by giving him this sea map.

  "Uncle Wind, what did you just say about a magical island? Can you tell me more about the Overseas Immortal Island? It seems quite complicated." Qin Yu looked puzzled.

  Feng Yuzi thought for a moment before saying, "Let me tell you carefully. My sect is called 'Qingjianmen', and it's located on an immortal island called 'Qingfeng Island' over 100,000 miles south of the Puliandong Continent. There are two major sects on Qingfeng Island, and Qingjianmen is one of them."

  Qin Yu listened quietly.

  "In fact, Qingfeng Island is one of the ordinary Earthly Immortal Islands that are extremely close to the Profound Dragon Continent. The farther away an overseas immortal island is from the mainland, the larger it is and the stronger its sects are. In the southern part of the Profound Dragon Continent, tens of billions of miles away, lies the core of the overseas immortal islands - 'Penglai Immortal Domain'. This Penglai Immortal Domain is composed of hundreds of huge immortal islands, with numerous sects standing tall, and there are tens of thousands of powerful cultivators."

  "It's embarrassing to say, but the reputation of this Penglai fairyland has spread far and wide, yet I've never been there. After all, it's really too far away, my skills are too low, and I don't know how long it would take to fly there. Moreover, there are dangers along the way, and who knows, maybe I wouldn't even make it before encountering some mishap." Feng Yuzi sighed.

  Qin Yu suddenly had an outline of a mystical island overseas in his mind.

  In the southernmost part of the Yuanbian Sea, tens of millions of miles away, there is a fairy island. In other places, there are numerous islands, many of which have been occupied by various sects of cultivators. And in the far south, countless billions of miles away, lies the core of the Overseas Fairy Islands - Penglai Immortal Domain.

  "Old Man Feng, what was that about a Devil Island you mentioned earlier? What's so special about it?" Qin Yu asked.

  Feng Yuzi smiled and said, "The Demon Island is an island occupied by demon cultivators. Demon cultivators are different from immortal cultivators. In order to pursue ascension, they will stop at nothing, even resorting to swallowing others' golden elixirs and primordial infants."

  "Swallowing Golden Elixir Primordial Infant?" Qin Yu's eyes widened in surprise.

  Feng Yuzi said indignantly, "Right. Demonic cultivators are indeed sinister, killing other true cultivators and devouring their golden elixir and primordial infant to steal their cultivation. Their conduct is truly despicable."

  Qin Yu's face was covered in sweat.

  Rushed back from the desolate expanse. Qin Yu and Xiao Hei didn't hesitate to devour the Golden Elixirs. This time, Xiang Yang self-destructed his Primordial Infant, and Qin Yu lamented that it was a waste of a Primordial Infant. It turned out that devouring Golden Elixir Primordial Infants was a tactic used by demonic cultivators.

  "Cultivation is generally divided into three categories: cultivating immortals, cultivating demons, and cultivating monsters. Cultivating immortals emphasizes clarity and non-action, while cultivating demons emphasizes the supremacy of power. As for cultivating monsters... let's not talk about that for now. Remember this, Xiaoyu. It's best to avoid those who cultivate demons, as they are often cruel and bloodthirsty. If someone were to devour your golden elixir, it would be disastrous." Feng Yuzi reminded him.

  Qin Yu smiled secretly in his heart: "Cruel and bloodthirsty? It's not even clear who will swallow whose Golden Elixir yet. And I don't have a Golden Elixir anyway."

  Qin Yu's cultivation method was different from any other, neither cultivating immortality nor demonism, and even less so, cultivating a demon.

  "In the boundless southern ocean, there are islands that are the strongholds of immortal sects, while others are the strongholds of true person sects. Even near the Penglai Immortal Domain, over a hundred islands have merged to form the core of the Demon Island - 'Purple Flame Demon Prison'. The Purple Flame Demon Prison and the Penglai Immortal Domain are equally famous, and their struggles against each other are extremely fierce." Feng Yuzi introduced.

  Qin Yu nodded calmly.

  "Xiao Yu, I'm telling you, in the boundless ocean, the most powerful force is not the immortal cultivators, nor the demon cultivators! It's not the Penglai Immortal Domain, nor the Ziyan Demon Prison." Feng Yuzi's expression turned serious.

  Qin Yu was shocked in his heart.

  "The strongest is the Xiāo Yáo zhě!" Fēng Yù Zǐ said very affirmatively, "What has the largest area in the boundless ocean? It's not the islands, but the waters. In the boundless waters, there are all kinds of underwater demons and monsters. The deeper you go into the vast sea, the stronger the demons and monsters will be!"

  Qin Yu was shocked in his heart.

  The sea is vast and boundless, the entire waters are the domain of demonic beasts. Indeed, the strongest among the cultivators of demons.

  "The deeper the water, the greater the pressure. At depths of tens of thousands of meters, ordinary cultivators and demons are generally unable to withstand that terrifying pressure, yet some terrifying sea monsters live under such pressure."

  "Xiao Yu, remember that in the overseas waters, the demon beasts are very terrifying. The boundless waters are all their territory, and no one knows where the lair of the demon beasts is. Whether it's the Purple Flame Abyss or the Penglai Immortal Domain, one thing is certain: the power of the demon beasts is enormous."

  Feng Yuzi had actually only heard of some of these things, but this was what every sect emphasized to its disciples.

  "In the depths of the ocean, there are all sorts of spiritual treasures. The deeper you go, the more treasures there are, but the deeper you go, the greater the water pressure is. At a depth of tens of thousands of meters, even a master cultivator of the demonic path cannot dive down, and as for how many treasures lie in those depths, it's not something you can even imagine." Feng Yu Zi's eyes also shone with a brilliant light.

  Obviously, Feng Yuzi was imagining treasures at the deepest part of the ocean.

  "If one has the ability, they must dive into the deep sea and explore it once." Qin Yu made a decision that he couldn't help but make.

  A conversation made Qin Yu have a lot of understanding about the boundless overseas waters. In the overseas immortal domain, there were many cultivators, many demon cultivators, and even more underwater demonic beasts.

  For the sake of the divine treasure, they slaughtered each other.

  Overseas immortal island. The island area is extremely large, and some islands are as big as the Chu royal court. However, such islands can often be found in the ocean. Penglai fairyland is composed of hundreds of such islands. The area is so vast that it even exceeds the entire Qianlong continent.

  Penglai Fairy Realm, Ziyan Demon Prison, and the mysterious underwater demon lair, these formed the entire overseas cultivation world. In the depths of the ocean, how many treasures were hidden, no one knew.

  ……

  Half a year later, Qin Zheng officially ascended to the throne, abolishing the Chu Dynasty and establishing the Qin Dynasty, with Qin Zheng as Emperor Qin Ming. Initially, the Qin family had decided on 'Qin Dynasty', but after deliberating for a long time, they wondered if using 'Qin Dynasty' wouldn't cause confusion with the Qin Dynasty from over a thousand years ago?

  It was Qin De's words that finally solved the problem.

  "Appearance is false, reality is true. We are surnamed Qin after all, and establishing the Qin dynasty is also reasonable. Moreover, with twelve counties completely in our grasp, even if the Han and Ming dynasties want to fight us, they will have to consider whether their strength is sufficient."

  Thus, the establishment of the Qin dynasty was decided.

  Qin De avenged his great hatred, but he didn't want to be busy anymore. Feng Yuzi was originally idle and carefree. These two people then cultivated in peace on the Hidden Dragon Continent. The major affairs of the Qin Dynasty were all controlled by Qin Zheng.

  ……

  Qin De, Feng Yu Zi, Qin Ming Huang, Qin Zheng, Qin Feng, and Xu Yuan gathered in Yanjing City.

  "Father, elder brothers, Uncle Xu, and Old Man Feng, you won't be sending me off." Qin Yu looked at his family members in front of him with a smile. The little black bird beside him flapped its wings from time to time, as if excited for the upcoming journey.

  Qin De took a step forward, looking at Qin Yu and said: "Yu'er... the Xiu Tian realm is very treacherous. Your Wind Uncle also thought it was not suitable for that environment, so he came to the Qian Long continent. You must be careful, you have to keep an eye on others, don't be too sincere with people."

  Qin De was well aware of his own son's nature and what he worried about most was that Qin Yu was too sincere with others, and if he were to be betrayed, it would be disastrous.

  "Father king can rest assured, I have a plan in mind." Qin Yu nodded and said.

  Then, Qin Yu looked at Qin Feng and Qin Zheng, walked to the front of them and said: "Big brother, second brother, from now on, Father King will be handed over to you two to take care of." Qin Feng and Qin Zheng's eyes were filled with reluctance, although they had known that this day would come, but today it arrived, they still felt very uncomfortable.

  Little Feather

  Qin Feng and Qin Zheng as well as Qin Yu hugged each other tightly, the three brothers didn't let go for a long time.

  Qin Yumeng took a deep breath, retreated several steps in succession, and said to the crowd: "Haha, it's really hard to part with you all. Father, big brother, second brother, Uncle Feng, Uncle Xu, goodbye for now." Qin Yumeng turned around.

  "Xiao Hei, let's go!" Qin Yu said loudly, and then directly broke through the air and flew in the sky. Qin Yu looked down at his loved ones below, but still held back his feelings of leaving home, and accelerated flying southward.

  At the same time, a thrilling eagle cry also sounded, and Xiao Hei spread his wings and flew away.

  One man and one eagle flew directly south, in just an instant, the man and the eagle had turned into two black dots on the southern horizon.

  Qin Yu, Xiao Hei's journey in the Cultivation Realm has finally begun. What will the future hold for them?
