Chapter 611: Qin Yuluo

Translator: CKtalon Editor: CKtalon

The massive battle at Mt. Three Blades began with Patriarch Blood Sea’s attacks on two juniors, Yang Jian and Qin Yun. Later, the conflict among God King Zhurong, Hou Yi, and Daoist Lu Ya attracted the attention of experts all across the Three Realms. Of course, Qin Yun was only a minor character in all of this. However, his killing of the few Chaos Godfiends like Wu Zhiqi and his ability to fend off Patriarch Blood Sea with his Misty Rain Array became his first display of his talent, winning him the true attention of the ancient existences of the Three Realms.

Time passed and in a blink of an eye, two thousand years had passed since that battle. The Three Realms remained calm and there was no further conflict between Zhurong and Hou Yi. As for Daoist Lu Ya, he vanished once again.

Green Touring Palace, Immortal Vanquishing Hall.

On the four corners of a floating array graph hung four Connate Divine Swords. Qin Yun had consumed a drop of Samsara Dew as he continued studying the Immortal Vanquishing Array.

After a long while, he opened his eyes.

“Five thousand years have passed since I became an Itinerant Immortal. When will I break through this final bottleneck?” Qin Yun frowned slightly. “If a ninth firmament Skyimmortal wishes to become a Golden Immortal, they have to combine all that they know to create their own mastery. If it is sufficiently strong, they would be a half-step Golden Immortal, or might even match that of a mighty figure. Immortal Sa Xu and Ancestral Master Zhang are examples of that.

“When one accumulates enough insight, they can break through their bottleneck and become a mighty figure. This is the best known method.

“I’m now stuck in a bottleneck and have been using similar means,” thought Qin Yun. “With my present insights, I have created various masteries. Now, my Misty Rain Array… is a lot stronger than it was back at Mt. Three Blades. Even if Patriarch Blood Sea had his Connate Cardinal treasure, the Negative Karma Fire Red Lotus, he could forget about cracking it if I focus on defending!”

He had only just broken through back then.

Now, he had fused all those insights to create various masteries. The Misty Rain Array and his flying sword arts had been enhanced. His insights into the Qingping Sword had also deepened. The might he delivered had also turned more potent.

“Few of the ancient existences in the Three Realms can crack my Misty Rain Array, however there are not a small number of those. There are a total of three perfected Great Dao fiends. Among them is Patriarch Blood Sea with his undying body. He is good at resorting to corruptive and vicious underhanded techniques, but he can’t do anything to me. And the strongest King of Myriad Fiends, Great Freedom Fiend King, Boxun. He would not be able to be do anything against me if he were to send his six avatars. But if he were to come in person… I’m definitely not his match. However, it’s quite impossible for him to attack in person.” Qin Yun knew very well.

Boxun was an existence known as the King of Myriad Fiends.

Before the Buddhist Ancestor Gautama attained the Heavenly Dao realm, Boxun managed to become the sworn enemy of Buddhism all by himself! The war between the fiends and Buddhism had gone on for an excessive period of time.

Later, Gautama received an epiphany and reached the Heavenly Dao realm! As such, Boxun had no choice but to retreat.

Even later, the Fiend Ancestor attained the Heavenly Dao as well, becoming the undisputed leader of the fiends. Afterwhich, Boxun reduced his appearance. It was rare for him to take any action at all. His former archenemy, Gautama, and Black Lotus, who used to be weaker than him, had both attained the Heavenly Dao realm. How could Boxun be pleased with that? Although he almost never appeared, his strength was not to be doubted.

Of course, the chance of Boxun attacking Qin Yun was the lowest.

Due to the few fiendish existences, Boxun was the proudest. Ages had passed since the days when he acted freely. It was already considered rare if he sent his six avatars to handle situations in the Three Realms.

“Among the three perfected Great Dao fiendish existences, the one that poses the greatest threat to me is Patriarch Spirit Devouring. His devouring means top the Three Realms. Even the Misty Rain Array might be devoured and chewed to bits by him,” thought Qin Yun.

Although his strength had increased significantly, he still had to be wary.

Perhaps only by attaining a perfected Great Dao could he have the confidence to view all experts belonging the Heavenly Dao realm beneath him.

“Tomorrow is the day of my Itinerant Immortal tribulation. It’s time to return for it.” Qin Yun got up and left the Immortal Vanquishing Hall.

…

Heavenly realm. In a wing of Mt. Lightning Roar’s Qin Manor.

Qin Yuluo sat by the window, watching fishes swim in a pond in the yard outside.

“What should I do?

“A step forward results in intense battles, but all will be fine if I take a step back. Should I proceed forward or retreat?

“If I proceed, it might be huge trouble for the Qin family! I would be too selfish that way.” Qin Yuluo always had a figure in her heart. But now that she knew more, she was in a dilemma.

“Sister Phoenix Voice is a descendant of the Sagedemon Nine Phoenix and also a disciple of the Demon Emperor Bai Ze. She clearly threatened me to stay away from Brother Meng. Although Brother Meng is extremely good to me, he is fully focused on cultivation and the missions his master has given him. He has never expressed his feelings towards me. Perhaps, it has always been one-sided on my part?

“Grandfather has been grooming me in hopes that I will become the pillar of support for the Qin family. In the future, if Grandfather fails to transcend the tribulations, I will be needed to keep the Qin family going. How can I bring trouble to my family? Furthermore, Grandfather’s cultivation is of utmost priority now. How can I disturb him with my trivial romantic relations?” Qin Yuluo was vexed.

“Brother Meng’s master is the Human Sovereign Fuxishi. Sister Phoenix Voice is Demon Emperor Bai Ze’s disciple. She has been pursuing Brother Meng all this while… it might be that she has ulterior motives.

“This isn’t something I should involve Grandfather in.

“Take a step back.

“Take a step back.”

Qin Yuluo muttered to herself.

“I just need to endure for several thousand years. If Grandfather succeeds in transcending the tribulations, I can try competing! Now, I can only take a step back!” Qin Yuluo’s thoughts kept churning.

Although reason had made her decide to take a step back, her heart felt tormented.

“Boom!”

“Oh?” Qin Yuluo heard a rumbling thunder as she walked out of her room in puzzlement. She looked into the distance and saw tribulation clouds forming in the sky at the back of the mountains. Qin Yuluo did a calculation. “This is Grandfather’s fifth Itinerant Immortal tribulation. For Grandfather, the threat truly begins once the eleventh Itinerant Immortal tribulation comes.”

The eleventh Itinerant Immortal tribulation required the strength of a perfected Great Dao to withstand it.

The twelfth tribulation… had not been survived by anyone to date. The only one who attempted to face it was Chaos Godfiend, Ze. However, he failed and reincarnated.

Qin Yuluo walked towards the mountains.

Soon, she saw her grandmother, Yi Xiao.

“Yuluo.” Yi Xiao smiled at Qin Yuluo. “Just wait a little longer. Your grandfather’s tribulation will soon end.”

Qin Yuluo nodded obediently.

“You will have to stay at home longer this time. Although it’s important to adventure outside, you can’t always be outside,” said Yi Xiao with a smile.

“Grandmother, I plan on staying at home for quite a long while. I’ll definitely spend more time with you.” Qin Yuluo beamed.

“Our Fairy Yuluo is finally willing to accompany her grandmother?” Yi Xiao was rather happy.

At that moment, Qin Yun walked over from the back of the mountains. He arrived in a few steps.

“Grandfather.” Qin Yuluo ran over immediately and embraced Qin Yun’s arm in a rather affectionate manner.

“Yuluo said that she will be spending some time at home to accompany me,” said Yi Xiao with a smile.

“Oh?”

Qin Yun’s eyes lit up when he heard that. He nodded and said, “That’s right. Yuluo, you have often adventured outside to hone yourself. To reach the strength of a half-step Golden Immortal truly is rare. However, cultivation requires the complementation of both Motion and Stillness. You can’t be adventuring all the time. You should cultivate peacefully at home. I can also take the opportunity to teach you well.”

“Grandfather, you plan on teaching me?” Qin Yuluo revealed a look of glee before she said immediately, “Grandfather, your cultivation is very important. You can’t waste your time on me.”

“Brother Yun, your cultivation…” said Yi Xiao as well.

“Teaching juniors is a form of cultivation as well,” said Qin Yun with a smile. “Many mighty figures are powerful themselves, but they are unable to verbalize it or teach disciples. To simplify the profound Great Dao for the teaching of disciples isn’t an easy task. It’s also a rare form of cultivation.”

Qin Yun was now stuck at a bottleneck.

He was also thinking of using various means of gathering insight to better his breakthrough.

Teaching disciples was one of those means.

“Alright! I’ll definitely pay attention to your teachings, Grandfather.” Qin Yuluo was filled with anticipation.

Qin Yun nodded with a smile. He was especially fond of this granddaughter of his. Furthermore, she was extremely perceptive. This was evident from how Perfected Jade Tripod wished to take her in as a disciple. She had reached the half-step Golden Immortal realm after several millennia of cultivation. Although that progress did not make her a freak of nature in the Three Realms like Qin Yun and Yang Jian, she could be considered a genius. Qin Yun naturally wished to offer her all his help.

Although he had friends to take care of his family if he failed at transcending his tribulation, it was still better to have his family strong. Qin Yun believed that Qin Yuluo was the future pillar of support for the Qin family.
