Chapter 137: Azure Green Wood Submits to the Ancient-Modern Stele

In this era, extremely few in the entire Heaven Feather Clan can reach Qin Yu's level. The Immortal Sect Leader couldn't help but feel a hint of alarm. He knew well that if he continued to let Qin Yu grow, Qin Yu would inevitably become a grave threat to the whole Heaven Feather Clan.

At first, he didn't take Qin Yu to heart, after all, in his view Qin Yu merely relied on external means to forcibly slay the Third Young Master. But now the situation is completely different…… He truly never expected that this brat would be so terrifying.

"Qin Yu, instantly breaking through the second stage, reflecting the true self!"

"Reward, one Heaven and Earth Baptism!"

At this moment, the Primeval Divine assisted the spirit of the forbidden zone to speak; that vast voice echoed slowly in the air. The Primeval Divine genuinely worried that Qin Yu might fail to break through the third stage, so it decided to intervene, exercising its authority, taking out some resources to aid Qin Yu's breakthrough. After all, in this battle it could not directly intervene, yet it did not want Qin Yu to come to harm, lest it affect its own possession and delay the chance to leave the Heavenly God Forbidden Zone.

Hearing this, the Immortal Sect Leader felt only helplessness and resentment: "……" He increasingly felt that the spirit of heaven and earth seemed to favor Qin Yu, his heart heavy with vexation. Helpless, he could only sit cross-legged on the ground, begin to heal his wounds, hoping that nothing would go wrong during the third stage.

Boom—

The rumbling sound echoed repeatedly, as if myriad spiritual energies were drawn by some mysterious force, swiftly gathering together, forming a mighty momentum like vast rivers, pouring down from the high heavens, straight into Qin Yu's body.

Seeing this, Qin Yu immediately sat cross-legged, naturally understanding that this was the reward bestowed by heaven and earth.

Moments later, a brilliant radiance enveloped his skin, emitting a pure, flawless light that dazzled the eyes. He clearly felt that the lightning intent, sword intent, and fire intent within him were increasing at an astonishing speed, as if the heavenly earth's regulatory power were continuously flowing into his body.

At that moment, the many cultivators on the periphery all wore looks of shock. Unable to directly sense the strength inside, they could only observe through the projection.

"Our Immortal Sect Leader is a Dao-tier powerhouse, virtually invincible within a domain, yet…… after a thousand exchanges, he barely managed a narrow victory."

"And that human mere mortal, with just a single palm strike, caused his reflected strongest self to scatter soul and spirit—what a huge gap!"

That palm of Qin Yu not only shocked the entire Heaven Feather Clan, but even Qing Xuan Zi and the others were frightened to the point of palpitations.

The reflected strongest self was so easily suppressed, with no power to resist—how could this be? What hidden means does Qin Yu possess?

"To possess such talent, if we could follow him, it would be a stroke of fate we must cherish." A heavenly-tier talented prodigy couldn't help but sigh, his words full of lament.

In his view, an existence like Qin Yu, if placed in ancient times, would likely reduce the true disciples of the Supreme Sect to mere stepping stones on his path. He would surely traverse the vast origin on the road of cultivation, suppressing all opponents.

Qing Xuan Zi and the others were overjoyed, feeling immensely fortunate about their initial choice. They knew that as long as they steadfastly followed Qin Yu, their future achievements would far surpass the past.

Time trickled by amid the crowd's tense wait. Nobody dared to breathe, all eyes fixed on the projection.

At this moment, the Azure Green Wood finally took human form, struggling out of the Wind Forest Fire Mountain. Its blue clothes were torn to shreds, its flesh a bloody mess, its expression utter exhaustion.

It knew full well that leaving this forbidden zone was as hard as climbing to heaven……

It came here mainly to seek that human prodigy—Qin Yu, wishing to have a proper talk with him.

Upon being sucked into the Combat Space, it only felt a dizzying spin, and then saw Qin Yu sitting cross-legged.

At this moment, Qin Yu's pores were continuously expelling filthy black impurities.

Seeing this, the exhausted Azure Green Wood extended its right hand; a burst of azure divine radiance surged forth, vigorous life energy swirling, showering onto Qin Yu's side and instantly cleansing all impurities.

After half an hour, Qin Yu slowly opened his eyes.

At the same moment, all the spiritual energy vortices vanished without a trace.

Hum—

Qin Yu's body incessantly emitted a humming sound; his fire intent surged like blazing flames, rolling like turbulent waves. Lightning crackled around his exterior, silver flashes streaking swiftly, a fierce momentum shooting straight upward.

Qin Yu felt an unprecedented strength; his sword intent and lightning intent were nearly perfected, his fire intent had reached great accomplishment. Such breakthrough speed was truly astonishing.

Even his cultivation had smoothly reached the eighth layer of Foundation Establishment, faintly seeming to have approached the threshold of the ninth layer. Before long, he would be able to step into the Spirit Transformation Realm.

If the outside world learned of his terrifying cultivation speed, it would surely cause an uproar, the entire Canglan Yu would be shocked. After all, from start to now, the total time is still less than half a month, yet Qin Yu has already neared the Spirit Transformation Realm.

"His physical body also underwent tremendous change; almost all the impurities within have been expelled…… This Great Dao Baptism is practically equivalent to washing the tendons and purifying the marrow." Qin Yu's heart was greatly shaken.

He could even feel that his speed of inhaling and exhaling spiritual energy had markedly increased, his aptitude…… likely had reached Heaven-tier perfection. Moreover, his affinity for the heavenly earth's regulatory power grew stronger, as if merging with it.

Immediately, Qin Yu looked toward the Azure Green Wood beside him, eyes filled with doubt and wariness, asking: "Senior, earlier you acted, infusing me with vital essence to heal my wounds—what is the meaning? We are both of the Blood Spirit Clan; are you not afraid that this would nourish the enemy?"

The well-informed Immortal Sect Leader nearby saw through the Azure Green Wood's details at a glance, couldn't help but sneer: "You've made it this far—no doubt you've defeated and devoured the Blood Spirit Wood, which is how you reached the Dao-tier. Humph, it seems you schemed against it. But with only a half-step Dao-tier cultivation, breaking through the second stage is no easy feat."

The Azure Green Wood merely gave a faint smile, not responding to the Immortal Sect Leader. It turned its calm gaze toward Qin Yu and said slowly: "Earlier, the Blood Spirit Wood attempted a technique to let the true source return, but I intercepted and killed it midway, destroying its main body. Furthermore…… I wish to reforge a Medicinal Spirit body, cast off the Blood Spirit Clan identity, and slaughter every Blood Spirit in the world. I believe, young sir, that you are the cultivator most likely to exit the Heavenly God Forbidden Zone. Therefore…… I earnestly implore you, young sir, to take me out of this place; I am willing to offer my loyalty and life. I only ask that with this ruined body I may wash away the resentment in my heart."

The Azure Green Wood's words were earnest; it came to the second stage for two reasons: first, to leave this forbidden zone; second, to fulfill its inner obsession; third, to rebuild the clan while alive.

In its view, since Qin Yu entered the Wind Forest Fire Mountain, he has breezed through the stages, indicating that heaven and earth seem especially indulgent toward him, there must be a reason. Thus, the Azure Green Wood decided to stake its hope on Qin Yu.

After all, it is now a ruined body; even as a Dao-tier Medicinal Spirit, with such strength, rebuilding the Heaven Wood Clan would be extremely difficult. In its eyes, this human mortal is undoubtedly an excellent choice.

Qin Yu's eyes still held wariness; he did not readily believe the Azure Green Wood's words.

"Wait until I clear the third stage and leave this training ground to see if what you say is true. If it is, all you need is to swear a Heaven and Earth Oath, and I can take you under my command."

If the other party truly wishes to reforge the Medicinal Spirit's foundation, for Qin Yu it would naturally be a good thing. The Profound Yang Sect is in need of such aid; a single Dao-tier Medicinal Spirit could shift the current situation, even if its strength is now somewhat weak.

"Time's up, charge through the stages together!"

At that moment, a vast voice suddenly rang out. Above the heavenly dome, a pitch-black stele slowly emerged, its surface bearing the scars of sword and blade strikes. Yet…… this stele was hard to behold; despite enduring endless ages, the marks still pulsed with regulatory power, appearing extremely terrifying!
