Stellar Transformation-Chapter 559 - 16 episodes 20 - s Choice

Qin Yu nestled against the Ancient Ironwood Tree, with Li’er lying in his arms. The two of them had a myriad of words to share, endlessly talking about each other’s experiences over the years.

Qin Yu’s story was long and full of twists and turns.

Even though Li’er didn’t have much to tell about her time after returning to the Divine World, she began recounting to Qin Yu the events of her life since she was a child.

The two talked for a full ten days before finally feeling somewhat content.

Qin Yu didn’t hide anything from Li’er, including the "Star Transformation" Cultivation Technique and the Qiankun World he created, which later evolved into the cosmos. He told her everything.

Because of this, Li’er, deep down, admired and became more attached to Qin Yu.

"Ah, it’s been ten days," Li’er suddenly exclaimed.

The Li’er of today was less solemn and more playful compared to her time in the Mortal World. After all, back then, she was much stronger than Qin Yu, not even on the same level. The vast difference in strength made it difficult for Li’er to act coquettishly in front of Qin Yu.

But now, Li’er was free of those constraints.

"Ten days, huh," Qin Yu also expressed mild surprise. Time might pass quickly during closed-door cultivation, but Qin Yu hadn’t expected their conversation to go on continuously for ten days.

"Uncle Lan must be angry," Li’er’s willow-leaf brows furrowed slightly. "We haven’t paid any attention to him for these ten days, isn’t this too..."

Qin Yu wrapped his arms around Li’er, smiling, "Don’t worry, Uncle Lan understands us."

After pondering for a moment, Li’er nodded slightly, "Alright, let’s wait another, uh, two hours. In two hours we’ll go find Uncle Lan." Saying this, Li’er pressed her cheeks against Qin Yu’s chest again.

Qin Yu lovingly stroked Li’er’s hair. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

...

Two hours later, Qin Yu and Li’er walked out of the courtyard, and as they did, Jiang Lan appeared by the pond.

"Finally, you two remember this old man," Jiang Lan said cheerfully.

Since Zuo Qiumei’s death, Jiang Lan’s heart held only the two young people, Qin Yu and Li’er. Their happiness brought a sense of fulfillment to Jiang Lan.

Qin Yu and Li’er exchanged a smile.

"Alright, let’s sit down over there first," Jiang Lan suggested, pointing to a stone table under a Mistwillow Tree by the pond, with three stone stools neatly placed around it.

Qin Yu, Li’er, and Jiang Lan sat down together.

"Although it might spoil the mood to discuss this now, I still have to talk to you two about it... the matter of the marriage recruitment, how do you plan to resolve it?" Jiang Lan looked at Qin Yu and Li’er.

A grave expression instantly appeared on the faces of Qin Yu and Li’er.

"There are two methods: one is for the two of you to elope, and the other is for Qin Yu to partake in the recruitment and defeat everyone, to rightfully marry Li’er. Which one do you choose?" Jiang Lan pressed for an answer.

Li’er bit her lip.

Having talked with Li’er for ten whole days, Qin Yu was mostly aware of everything that happened to her from childhood. And now, he also knew precisely what Li’er was thinking.

Li’er loved her mother dearly.

She also loved her younger sister Jiang Yan, Grandma Yin Hua who had looked after her as she grew up, and a whole crowd of people she had known since childhood. The Jiang Family was Li’er’s home!

Qin Yu understood in his heart.

To elope, he and Li’er could simply hide in his own universe, or in the Jiang Lan Realm. In short, elopement was very easy.

At least it meant Qin Yu had no burden at all.

Yet for Li’er, it was painful. Li’er would have to leave her relatives, leave her good friends, leave her family. Even more so, should they meet in the future, the father-daughter relationship might become even worse.

"Li’er, don’t worry, I will definitely marry you openly and honorably," Qin Yu held Li’er’s hand, their fingers interlocking, hearts close to each other, as he smiled and looked at Li’er.

Li’er felt a surge of emotion, "Big Brother Qin Yu, I’m alright, I know that those who want to marry me have strong backing, and I’m well aware of what they’re thinking. Big Brother Qin Yu, it will be very difficult for you to beat them fair and square. Big Brother Qin Yu, let’s elope... It’s okay, the Emperor and the Empress have many children, one less won’t make a difference." Though her words were decisive, as she spoke, Li’er’s eyes turned red.

"Alright, Li’er, believe in me, I will definitely succeed," Qin Yu held Li’er’s hand tightly, as if trying to infuse her with his confidence.

Li’er looked at Qin Yu, and in the end, nodded, "Big Brother Qin Yu, don’t strain yourself too much."

"I won’t," Qin Yu smiled radiantly.

Jiang Lan, who was beside them, coughed. This brought Qin Yu and Li’er’s attention back to him.

"Little Yu also has a chance. He possesses the Mishen Palace. As the inheritor of the Mishen Palace, he should have received the Artifact Refining methods of Che Hou Yuan," Jiang Lan said with a smile, looking at Qin Yu.

Qin Yu nodded slightly.

Jiang Lan continued, "That’s right, keep working hard. Little Yu’s mastery over formations is already high. Just put in an effort in Artifact Refining and reaching the level of Che Hou Yuan is not impossible. Once he becomes the new Artisan God... the hope of marrying this girl openly and honorably will greatly increase," Jiang Lan said with a smile directed at Li’er.

"Artisan God Che Hou Yuan? The new Artisan God?" Li’er expressed her concern, "Isn’t that very difficult?"

"Not difficult, not at all," Qin Yu repeatedly said.

In front of Li’er, whatever Qin Yu did, he was filled with absolute confidence and endless vigor.

"Uncle Lan, I’ve decided to stay here quietly and study the Path of Artifact Refining for the time being. If anything comes up on Lanxuan Hall’s side, my servant will send a message to me."

Qiu Zhongfu and a great many others had their souls bound. As their master, even though Qin Yu was far away, Qiu Zhongfu and the rest could use Telepathic Communication with him.

Telepathic Communication.

This was something only a master and those with bound souls were capable of.

Others simply couldn’t do it.

"It’s also good for you to stay here. In any case, if anything happens, I can directly bring you back with Instantaneous Movement," Jiang Lan was understanding. He knew that Qin Yu was reluctant to part with Li’er.

Jiang Lan wasn’t worried either because ever since Li’er mentioned that the Northern Pole Saint Emperor had once sought her out, Jiang Lan immediately set up a Restriction in space, sealing off the entire Mu Mansion. Unless one was a Heavenly Venerable, or had Jiang Lan’s permission, it was absolutely impossible to enter into the Mu Mansion.

"Uncle Lan, I’ll return the Jiang Lan Realm to you," Qin Yu took out the Jiang Lan Realm with a flip of his hand.

With a thought, Hei Yu also emerged from the Jiang Lan Realm. Hei Yu had been quietly cultivating inside the Jiang Lan Realm; now, Qin Yu could only disturb him.

Hei Yu looked at Qin Yu in puzzlement, then saw Uncle Lan. Since Qin Yu was talking with Uncle Lan, Hei Yu could only remain silent.

"I don’t need it, you keep using it," Jiang Lan said repeatedly, but he thought in his heart that although the Jiang Lan Realm was a potent Spiritual Treasure, it was very important to Qin Yu.

All Qin Yu could say was, "Uncle Lan, actually I’ve also created a space of my own, so even without the Jiang Lan Realm, I’m still very safe."

Creating a universe was indeed a shocking notion, even Qin Yu was still speculating about the structure of the universe’s three layers.

"Open up a space?" Jiang Lan said incredulously, "The space you’re talking about opening, is it a stable one?"

Divine Kings could indeed create spaces using ’Space Law’, but such spaces were not stable.

Jiang Lan, too, had used a plethora of treasures to refine the Jiang Lan Realm and stabilize three spaces.

"Yes, a stable space," Qin Yu nodded and said.

"Little Black, I have already given the Jiang Lan Realm to Uncle Lan, so from today onward, you shall cultivate within the universe I have created," Qin Yu said with a smile.

Hei Yu nodded and then respectfully saluted Jiang Lan: "Hei Yu pays his respects to Uncle Lan."

"Little Black, I know your Little Black Hawk has already taken a wife and had a daughter," Jiang Lan said with a chuckle, causing Hei Yu’s stern face to suddenly turn a bit red.

"Alright, let’s go take a look at the space you’ve created, Qin Yu," Jiang Lan immediately changed the subject.

Qin Yu nodded slightly, "Uncle Lan, do not resist," he cautioned, as Jiang Lan trusted Qin Yu immensely, allowing a force to envelop and pull him in.

Instantly.

Qin Yu, Li’er, Uncle Lan, Hei Yu—all of them arrived within the universe Qin Yu had created.

In the new universe, atop the New Zixuan Star.

"Zixuan Star, this is the Zixuan Star!" Hei Yu was dumbfounded, then looked at Qin Yu in shock, "Big Brother, how did you do this, how did we suddenly end up on Zixuan Star? Isn’t Zixuan Star in the Mortal World?"

Jiang Lan, with a solemn expression, interjected: "No, this is not Zixuan Star."

Jiang Lan looked incredulously at Qin Yu, unable to utter a word for a long time.

"Uncle Lan, what’s wrong?" Qin Yu quickly asked.

Jiang Lan exclaimed with a sigh: "The space that Little Yu has created is extraordinary. Within this space, the ’Space Law’ I’ve grasped, including parts of the ’Time Law’, are inoperable. Here, even my flight relies on the energy within my body."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yu was very clear in his heart.

This was essentially another universe. The laws Jiang Lan had comprehended in the original universe, naturally, would no longer apply here.

"Now that you have this space, I am also relieved," Jiang Lan finally retracted the Jiang Lan Realm.

Jiang Lan could see that the space created by Qin Yu was much safer than the Jiang Lan Realm. Here, even if a God King Venerable were to come, they couldn’t attack someone using laws. They could only rely on their internal energy.

How could they, relying solely on energy, possibly be a match for ’Qin Yu’, the creator of this space?

Here, Qin Yu was invincible.

"Strange, very strange," Hei Yu suddenly began to muse, "Big Brother, something’s odd here. When I arrived, I found I couldn’t cultivate the ’Flowing Light Spear Path’ anymore."

Qin Yu couldn’t help but be surprised: "The Flowing Light Spear Path, isn’t that a use of the Time Law? I can accelerate time here too, so why can’t you cultivate?"

"Time acceleration?" Jiang Lan was once again shocked.

Time acceleration was a part of the first layer of Time Law. However, to grasp the Time Law, one had to reach the God King Realm.

"In the past, within the Jiang Lan Realm, I could cultivate, but here, I can’t even sense that mysterious rule," said Hei Yu helplessly.

Qin Yu pondered for a moment.

"Let’s go back, I think I understand the reason," Qin Yu directly stated.

Jiang Lan and the others looked at Qin Yu, not understanding what he had realized, but they still nodded. In the blink of an eye, Qin Yu and his group were back at Mu Mansion.

Qin Yu looked at Hei Yu: "Little Black, you can use the Flowing Light Spear Path now, right?"

"I can sense that mysterious rule now," Hei Yu said, revealing a slight smile, and then, holding the Cloud Piercing Spear, he began to perform the movements.

Hei Yu’s spear technique was very peculiar.

Based on what you see, Hei Yu’s spear might seem unable to reach you, but just when you think so, the spear has already pierced your body.

The strange temporal speed around the spear changed the flow of time completely.

"Time acceleration, can you really do time acceleration?" Jiang Lan couldn’t help but exclaim in astonishment.

Hearing Uncle Lan’s words confirmed in Qin Yu’s heart that Little Black’s ’Flowing Light Spear Path’ was indeed an initial application of the Time Law.

"I think, Little Black’s ’Flowing Light Spear Path’ is connected to the Jiang Lan Realm. Uncle Lan, when you refine the Jiang Lan Realm, the time flow in that space differs from the outside world, is it because of the Time Law?" Qin Yu said with a smile.

Jiang Lan nodded: "Of course, the three spaces each have different time flows. However, the greater the flow rate, the more difficult it is to stabilize the space."

"I think that Little Black sensed a trace of the most basic Time Law within the ’Jiang Lan Realm’, which led to the creation of ’Flowing Light Spear Path’," Qin Yu voiced his speculation.

Jiang Lan shook his head: "No, impossible, without reaching the God King Realm, it is absolutely impossible to study the Time Law."

Uncle Lan thought it was impossible, but Qin Yu knew it was possible.

Because ’Without reaching Divine King, you absolutely cannot study the Time Law’ was a rule of the Divine World universe. However, the Qiankun World, initially created by Qin Yu, did not have this restriction.

This allowed Hei Yu, who was not even at the Heavenly God Realm, to step into the realm of Time Law.

"If it exists, there is reason for it, Uncle Lan. Don’t overthink it," Qin Yu advised.

His own universe and the one housing the Divine World, the Immortal, Demon, and Demon Worlds, were two different universes. It would be very difficult for Qin Yu to explain this to Uncle Lan. Besides, these thoughts were just conjectures.

Hei Yu looked at Jiang Lan: "Uncle Lan, it looks like I will have to stay and cultivate within your Jiang Lan Realm."

"Then that’s what you will do," Jiang Lan said with a smile.

As the refiner of the ’Jiang Lan Realm’, and the one who arranged its three spaces, Jiang Lan could re-refine the ’Jiang Lan Realm’ much more simply and easily than Qin Yu could.

Qin Yu then said: "Little Black, continue your cultivation in the Jiang Lan Realm. As for me, I’m going back to my own cosmic space to study the Art of Artifact Refining."

Qin Yu had made up his mind.

He would fully commit himself to the practice of refining artifacts until he reached the level of the Artisan God Che Hou Yuan.
