Personal Attendant Concubine, the Starfall Race!
"This silly girl has such great talent. As long as she strengthens herself, why does she need to live such a stressful life? From now on, she should follow me closely..."
"Let me show you the vastness and boundlessness of this world!"
As Qin Lu spoke, he took the unconscious Tang Yan into a special space. First, he wiped out the Night Cat Race, and now he had intercepted a Primordial Furnace...
It's time for the next target.
"A Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivator from the Starfall Race killed a direct descendant of a True Immortal from the Divine Court..."
Qin Lu frowned slightly as he looked at the intelligence report for the third mission. The first two were easy to understand, but why was the last one...?
On the contrary, he's just a hothead!
The first two are contrasting: one is driven by a desire to secure the future of their community, thus taking a risk; the other, Tang Yan, is burdened by her own possessions and has no choice in the matter...
This last one is quite something, a genuine Evil Cultivator.
He was a scoundrel who went around killing and setting fires, and by sheer coincidence, he stole from a direct descendant of a True Immortal of the Divine Court, only to be killed in the end...
This guy is just asking for it, no questions asked.
For Qin Lu, this kind of mission was definitely an extra challenge, but it must be said that the Divine Court's resources were truly abundant...
He randomly accepted three missions, each involving either high-level resources and treasures or the escape of an innate furnace. In Qin Lu's eyes...
This is practically giving him money; it's like offering him fortuitous opportunity!
But then again—
If we really let that idiot Bai Yun do these tasks, not to mention anything else, just wiping out the Night Cat Race would probably be a huge undertaking.
Only someone with the abilities of a True Immortal like Qin Lu would consider these tasks as easy money; Spirit Transformation cultivator...
Each of these tasks is incredibly difficult.
The mere fact that they managed to find their target in the Endless sea of stars was enough to give these Spirit Transformation a run for their money.
Seven months later--
When Qin Lu reappeared in the vast sea of stars, a woman in black palace attire appeared beside him; it was none other than Tang Yan...
Now that Tang Yan knows Qin Lu's identity, she has no choice but to accept her fate and become Qin Lu's personal concubine.
However, Qin Lu did not mistreat the girl. After several months of Qin Lu's careful guidance, Tang Yan had gained a clear understanding of the world...
He began to steadily consolidate his cultivation level and, following the Cultivation Method taught by Qin Lu, began to compress his cultivation level to solidify his achievements.
"Emperor Nether You, where are we going now?"
Over the past few months, Tang Yan has gradually become acquainted with Qin Lu, the True Immortal Emperor Nether You. Compared to her own ancestor, or the greedy and disgusting gazes of those people in the Divine Court, she has grown closer to him.
Qin Lu, on the other hand, was relatively pure and genuine, and treated her very well.
Tang Yan certainly knew Qin Lu, who also treated her as a concubine, but at least Qin Lu wouldn't mistreat her or put on airs.
We provided all the necessary resources and guidance!
At least Qin Lu's demands of her were very straightforward; he openly wanted her to be his concubine and a vessel for his soul, leaving aside everything else...
If we consider it a transaction, Tang Yan didn't lose out!
She was a living, breathing person, and naturally she could sense genuine feelings. At least in her eyes, Qin Lu, though not exactly upright and honest...
But at the very least, he was a principled, purely good person, even in a bad way.
In this day and age-
The pure evil has become a noble and excellent virtue. It is precisely because of Qin Lu's principle of equivalent exchange that Tang Yan is willing to cooperate with Qin Lu in dual cultivation.
After all, cultivation is cultivation regardless of who you choose, so naturally you'd choose the best one, the one you find most pleasing to the eye. Besides, this Emperor Nether True Immortal...
They're not even three thousand years old now!
When choosing a cultivation partner, Tang Yan naturally opted for someone younger, thinking to herself, even if someone were to humiliate her for a lifetime...
That would at least be a young and powerful True Immortal, much better than a bunch of old ghosts who have lived for who knows how many years and reek of decay.
Sometimes, it's better to change your perspective.
It often gives people a pleasant surprise, and even makes them feel that the current situation is already the best possible outcome; at least, that's what Tang Yan thinks...
If Qin Lu weren't merely projecting his will onto a puppet body, she probably would have already offered herself to Qin Lu. In the cultivation world, the strong prey on the weak, and it's not shameful for the weak to depend on the strong.
It's all just about surviving.
At this moment, Qin Lu slightly came to his senses and, upon hearing this, responded:
"The Spirit-Burying Star Sea, the High Antiquity Battlefield."
"The Nascent Spirit Transformation of the Starfall Race is hiding in that High Antiquity ruin. Once I destroy him, his Starfall physical body..."
"It is a naturally formed high-grade Metal Dao treasure, the most suitable material for Dao of Refining, and has extremely high value in both artifact and array crafting."
As he spoke--
Qin Lu's Primordial Spirit locked onto several traces of the Great Dao from afar...
Judging from these deliberately concealed traces, it's likely not just one Starfall Race Spirit Transformation, but probably an entire clan!
Thinking of this--
Qin Lu immediately became interested; that's more like it!
What's the point of killing a Nascent Spirit Transformation? If you're going to kill, you should wipe out an entire clan and devour them all at once. That's what Qin Lu wants to see.
Not long after, Qin Lu discovered a void in the starry sea...
It appeared to be a ring of debris formed from the shattering of several worlds, and Qin Lu only glanced at it briefly.
They discovered a total of nine Nascent Spirit Transformation cultivators and a hundred Nascent Soul!
Unexpectedly, this was an extremely large Sea Race. Qin Lu's eyes lit up when he saw them—these Starfall Race...
Those were extremely rare artifacts used in weapon crafting; in Qin Lu's eyes, they were nothing short of a vast treasure trove, and what he saw there was...
This presents an opportunity for the Qin Clan to further advance their weapon-refining skills!
At the same time, we also see the potential for the Nether Sha Sword: God Devouring to go even further!
The God Devouring is currently only a Fifth-Tier Heaven-Penetrating Spirit Treasure, and the corpse of the Starfall Race is the best material to reforge God Devouring.
The next moment--
Without a word, Qin Lu raised his hand and unleashed the power of ice and snow, instantly sending a chill that swept across the heavens and earth, seemingly enveloping the entire starry sky...
Even the Primordial Spirit and dharma form were activated!
The vast, boundless phantom of frost and snow slowly appeared in the sea of stars. Qin Lu dared not exert too much force, for fear of making a mistake...
The Primordial Spirit entrusted to Bai Yun burst, after all, it was a manifestation of True Immortal's Spirit Transformation Primordial Spirit.
This carelessness would be tantamount to killing Bai Yun, leaving Qin Lu hesitant and only able to use one percent of his current strength to annihilate this arrogant and ignorant Starfall Race demon...
Frost blows, and all life perishes!
Eternal cold, eternal desolation!
What powerful star races, what damned Starfall Race —in Qin Lu's eyes, they're nothing but chickens and dogs if no True Immortal intervenes.
A cold wave sweeping across the cosmos continues to spread throughout the starry sky!
A cosmic-level cold wave began to wreak havoc. Qin Lu only used a small amount of his power, yet it was enough to kill or injure more than half of the damned Starfall Race.
Countless enormous ice shards continued to spread throughout the sea of stars, a futile massacre...
The vast Starfall Race was like a lamb to the slaughter!
Those whose lives were reaped by Qin Lu's blades would ultimately become stepping stones for him, helping the Qin Humans Clan and even the Great Qin to advance further...
