Chapter 1004: Stellar Transformations — That Genius Who Created the Method!

Beneath the Zhendong Wang Fu, beneath the Eight Divisions Pagoda.

Fang Yu was still cultivating.

This supreme treasure from the Eternal Life Realm, after arriving at the Stellar Transformations Realm, naturally could no longer draw upon the Eight Divisions True Dragon Qi of the Dragon Realm, but even just the morning bell and evening drum within it, once stirred even slightly, was an enormous, heaven-sent encounter for cultivators of the mortal world.

For them, beneath the sound of that morning bell and evening drum, the entire world seemed to take on a different appearance; their minds became incomparably clear, the impurities within their physical bodies were purified by the bell and drum sounds, and each of them entered a mysterious, wondrous Dao-comprehension realm.

And so, Qin Yu's cultivation base broke through to the External Arts Innate realm, while Qin De would undergo tribulation three days later; after enduring the Four-Nine Minor Heavenly Tribulation, he could achieve the Golden Core Realm.

As for Fang Yu, he remained at the Longevity Third Stage Grotto-Heaven realm, still a great distance from comprehending the Law of Time.

Still, he was somewhat curious just how powerful this world's Four-Nine Minor Heavenly Tribulation truly was.

In both worlds, the Golden Core realm existed, and even in the Desolate Era Realm there was a Golden Core realm, but obviously the content of the Golden Core was not the same.

The Innate realm of this world—even Innate Grand Perfection—placed in the Eternal Life Realm would only amount to the Physical Body Secret Realm, not even reaching the 10th Stage of Physical Body, yet after enduring the Four-Nine Minor Heavenly Tribulation, one could achieve the Golden Core.

Just how powerful was this Golden Core?

While Fang Yu was curious, certain changes occurred within Qin Yu's body; after his body broke through to the External Arts Innate realm, a hundred and eight pillars of light manifested around him, and immediately afterward, the void shattered, and he teleported toward an unknown region of the void.

"Yu'er!"

Qin De instantly sobered from his joyful expression, a look of utter shock appearing on his face; at this moment his heart was in complete turmoil, as if he had never imagined such a scene could occur.

He wanted to immediately pursue his "Yu'er," but in the blink of an eye, his Yu'er was nowhere to be seen; the person had vanished without a trace.

"Immortal, this… what has happened? How could Yu'er simply disappear like this?"

Qin De forcibly steadied the shock in his heart and sought help from the immortal, Fang Yu.

"It's nothing to worry about; it seems he is about to obtain a fortuitous encounter. However, if you are uneasy, then go out and take a look, see for yourself. Speaking of which, I am also somewhat curious."

Fang Yu's gaze turned toward the shattered void; he stepped forward, and instantly the boundless Law of Space froze, condensing into a Space Gate.

One end of this Space Gate was still at the Zhendong Wang Fu, while its other end seemed to extend into the boundless primordial wilderness.

Fang Yu stepped through, and Zhendong Wang Qinde immediately followed; besides him, there was also a Mr. Feng, Feng Yuzi, who followed along.

When the Space Gate vanished, Fang Yu and the others had already arrived at another location.

In the depths of the Hidden Dragon Continent lay the boundless primordial wilderness; almost no one could accurately state its size. The deeper into the wilderness one went, the denser the spiritual energy of heaven and earth became, and at the same time the demon beasts there grew ever more fearsome.

And at a certain place nearly a hundred thousand li from the wilderness border, there was a vast lake; beside the lake stood a massive mountain-like structure, only two stories tall, covering several acres of land; as for its interior, perhaps only by entering could one find out.

A Space Gate manifested here, and Fang Yu, Qin De, and Feng Yuzi stepped out.

"This is…"

Qin De's heart was shaken to the extreme; he knew that anyone in the Hidden Dragon Continent capable of teleporting others must possess a cultivation base at least at the legendary Hollow Void realm, or even higher, and yet now, he himself had been teleported here.

Of course, for him, the most important matter now was not shock, but finding his son.

"He was teleported here."

Fang Yu smiled, pushed open the door, and entered; all prohibitions meant nothing to him.

Once the group entered the structure, they saw that the various rooms within appeared extremely luxurious; the rooms even had all manner of lights unseen on the Hidden Dragon Continent, glowing in every color.

It was a massive, square, transparent object, radiating multicolored light, dazzlingly brilliant.

As for the floor, it was of pure silver color.

On this pure silver floor stood Qin Yu, still somewhat dumbfounded; then Qin Yu saw Immortal Fang Yu, his own father, and Uncle Feng had all arrived, and could not help feeling greatly delighted.

Just then, a crisp, pleasant child's voice rang out: "I am Little Star, welcoming the arrival of Master Qin Yu. However, why are there so many people? Should the others be expelled?"

"Don't expel them, of course don't expel them."

Among those present, Qin Yu, hearing that voice that had suddenly appeared, was somewhat shocked, but to expel the immortal, his father, and his uncle was absolutely impossible.

He felt his mind was somewhat muddled at the moment.

"Little Star, what is your origin? Why do you call me master? What is going on with all this?"

Qin Yu steadied his mind and spoke.

"Little Star is the butler of this house, an artificial intelligence brain. As for this villa, it was built by my first master, Lei Wei. Originally we were in a universe with extremely advanced technology, but my first master loved adventure, and I drifted through the universe with him. Later we were sucked into a black hole and arrived at a new universe; one of the planets in this universe is the planet where you, Master, reside."

The crisp child's voice said excitedly.

The words of this artificial intelligence brain fell upon those present; whether Qin Yu, Qin De, or Feng Yuzi, all wore utterly dumbfounded expressions—what villa, what artificial intelligence, what technology, what black hole—what was this voice even saying? They simply could not understand.

However, Fang Yu could still understand, and even seeing the multicolored light felt familiar to him, for this light was none other than the neon lights of Earth.

Lei Wei.

The master of this villa, from another Earth, could also be considered a fellow countryman.

Every world may have an Earth; for instance, the Shrouding Heaven Realm has an Earth, where Ye Fan arrived at the Northern Dipper Star with nine dragons pulling a coffin.

In this Stellar Transformations Realm, Lei Wei was also an Earthling, though he reached the planet where Qin Yu resided through a black hole.

Who knows how many such black holes there might be.

A single black hole can connect two star domains.

If there were thousands, tens of thousands, or even trillions of such black holes, then the mortal realm of the Stellar Transformations Realm could expand, forming a vast mortal realm.

But if the mortal realm of the Stellar Transformations Realm consisted only of this star domain and the star domain where Earth lay, then this entire world was not all that large.

From the number of mortal realms, one might deduce the strength of the creator of this entire universe, Lin Meng.

Just then, the crisp child's voice rang out again:

"After my master and I arrived at this planet, we discovered that it was entirely populated by cultivators. The universe we originally came from also had cultivators, but in a technologically advanced universe cultivators were only a minority. We were very excited upon arriving at this new planet, but not long after, my master was about to undergo tribulation; fearing failure, he left me in the wilderness early on, instructing me to wait for a second master. After many years, I have finally waited for you, Master."

The voice drifted through the void, and a virtual cat materialized from the void; Qin Yu was somewhat astonished and reached out to grab it, but his hand passed straight through the little cat's phantom body.

This little cat was the intelligence brain, a virtual existence.

"Hehe, Master is a person of the Hidden Dragon Continent and doesn't know what technology is, but my original master Lei Wei prepared a book, written clearly in the language of the Hidden Dragon Continent. Master should read it slowly; once you've finished, you'll understand everything."

An ancient, unadorned book materialized and fell before everyone; of course, this book was also virtual.

"Immortal, Father, Uncle Feng."

Qin Yu's gaze turned toward the others.

"Then let's take a look. There's no harm in learning about one more civilization."

Fang Yu laughed.

His gaze fell upon the book before him, which indeed recorded many of the mysteries of the stars. Especially when the AI kitty cat opened a segment of footage, the form of the universe appeared before everyone.

The universe.

The four directions of heaven and earth are called Yu; from antiquity to the present is called Zhou.

Within this vast starry universe, a figure appeared before everyone—this figure was the villa's first owner, Lei Wei, a peerless genius.

"When you see this footage, it means that I, Lei Wei, have failed my Tribulation Crossing."

The man's expression carried a great deal of haziness, as though he were reminiscing about his life.

"I was an Imperial Prince of an empire in the Milky Way galaxy. However, I did not care for imperial power—I only loved interstellar adventure and cultivation. In our Milky Way, there was only one planet where one could cultivate, called Earth. This I only learned later."

Lei Wei's words came through. Qin Yu still had no concept of it, but Fang Yu was quite curious—what method of cultivation did this star-transformed Earth actually possess?

Just then, Lei Wei's voice continued.

"Back then I kept cultivating, but I had no secret manuals. One day I finally obtained a copy of the Three Tongtian Diagrams, so I toiled away, thinking of every possible way to cultivate, and finally succeeded. By then I had already been traveling through the universe, and in one place I weathered my Four-Nine Minor heavenly tribulation. However... I had no cultivation method to continue."

On Lei Wei's face there was a measure of contentment and joy; he seemed to be recalling those years.

"Flying through the universe, I had heard of Jin Dan and Nascent Soul cultivation methods, but I never obtained any precious Xiulianfa Sect methods. Those Xiulianfa Sect methods were simply too precious—I could never obtain them. So I decided to forge my own path! Cultivation, cultivation—cultivation is the pursuit of the Heavenly Dao! What is the Heavenly Dao? Is it really just forming a Jin Dan, cultivating a Nascent Soul?"
