Chapter 45: The Mid-Level Earth Soul Immortal

Upon hearing about the Luo Soul Stone, Qu Yi decided to compete for it. When Long Zhan Tian and Long Hu Wei learned of Qu Yi’s decision, they were surprised but also understood that this mysterious man would not be bound to one place, so naturally, the Storm Dragon Sect could not retain him.

“Fellow Qu Yi, since you intend to compete for the Luo Soul Stone, I won’t hold you back. If you need any help, just send me a message,” Long Zhan Tian said with a smile.

Long Hu Wei also looked at Qu Yi with eager eyes.

Qu Yi smiled and said, “Fellow Long Zhan Tian, before leaving, I can give you a gift. Brother Hu Wei should know that the Mysterious Sound Valley in the Earth-Destruction Star Region, though filled with disturbing sounds, is also a great place for advancing one’s cultivation. I’ll give you ten thousand pairs of earbuds. In the future, your outstanding disciples from the Storm Dragon Sect can wear them when going to the Mysterious Sound Valley to improve their cultivation.”

Upon hearing this, Long Hu Wei immediately exclaimed joyfully, “Brother Qu Yi, I was just thinking of bringing this up. The Storm Dragon Sect has lost half of its disciples due to internal strife. If the remaining disciples could all advance their cultivation by one level quickly, it would be enough to stabilize the entire Earth-Storm Star Cluster.”

As the ruler of the Earth-Storm Star Cluster, the Storm Dragon Sect often sent its disciples to eliminate evil elements within the cluster. If there were not enough disciples, it would affect stability in the cluster. Although the number of disciples couldn’t be replenished immediately, raising their cultivation levels could still stabilize the situation.

Long Zhan Tian had previously heard from Long Hu Wei about the usefulness of these earbuds, and upon hearing Qu Yi’s words, he immediately beamed with joy.

“Fellow Qu Yi, thank you,” Long Zhan Tian said excitedly.

Qu Yi nodded, then glanced at Qing Wu Gui and said with a smile, “Wu Gui, while you’re in the Storm Dragon Sect, don’t go out until you’ve advanced to the First-Star Earth Soul Demon level.”

Qing Wu Gui smiled, knowing Qu Yi was worried about him, and nodded in response.

“Fellow Qu Yi, rest assured. Fellow Qing Wu Gui will receive the best cultivation resources in our Storm Dragon Sect and will reach the Earth Soul Demon level before long,” Long Zhan Tian assured immediately.

Long Hu Wei also nodded at Qu Yi.

After addressing everything, Qu Yi stood up and said with a smile, “Everyone, it won’t be long before we meet again.”

Then, Qu Yi vanished in a flash.

Qu Yi arrived on a desert planet near the Earth-Storm Star.

Xiang Qing, Xiang Xing, and Xiang Zhong were suddenly released by Qu Yi from the Dimensional Ball.

These three had been held captive by Qu Yi inside the Dimensional Ball for over a decade.
“Ah, what place is this? How did I end up here?” Xiang Qing exclaimed in surprise as he stepped out.
Initially, the three had been controlled by Qu Yi in an inn and immediately lost consciousness. So, upon appearing on this desolate planet, they were naturally shocked.
Qu Yi laughed heartily. Seeing that all three were looking at him, he said, “Well, everyone, I’ve received some news. In this flooded star region, there’s a moving planet, and there are rumors about the Soul Stone there.”
“What!”
Xiang Qing, Xiang Xing, and Xiang Zhong exclaimed in delight.
Their mission to the Demon Realm was to find the Soul Stone and the Heaven-Transmitting Stone. Hearing about the Soul Stone, they immediately became energetic and full of fighting spirit.
“Where is that moving planet now?” Xiang Qing asked urgently.
Qu Yi shook his head and smiled, “Since it’s a moving planet, I naturally can’t determine its exact location. But our True Heroes Adventuring Party can go to the Adventurers’ Guild to inquire.”
With such a precious treasure as the Soul Stone, many people in the Adventurers’ Guild must have discussed it, so they could likely find out the exact direction the moving planet was heading.
Hearing this, Xiang Qing happily patted his chest and said, “That’s right! We’re the True Heroes Adventuring Party. Now that we’ve all reached the cultivation level of Earth Soul Demons, our party can also be upgraded. How about we all go to the Adventurers’ Guild on a nearby planet to apply for an upgrade and also inquire about the Soul Stone.”
Xiang Xing and Xiang Zhong immediately nodded.
Qu Yi smiled and shook his head slowly, saying, “Jin Zun, Mu Zun, and Tu Zun have already gone to that moving planet ahead of us. I also wanted to go there alone. I told you three this news just so you can decide for yourselves whether to go after the Soul Stone.”
Hearing Qu Yi’s words, Xiang Qing, Xiang Xing, and Xiang Zhong all showed expressions of surprise and joy.
These three had little memory of the past decade. After Qu Yi used the “Soul Storage Technique” on them, they only remembered forming an adventuring party with him. So, hearing that Qu Yi was leaving, they realized they were free.
“Brother Qu Yi, we three will also head to that moving planet. Since you want to go alone, we respect your decision. We’ll hurry up and try to reunite with you soon,” Xiang Qing said with a smile.
Qu Yi chuckled and then vanished in a flash.

Inside the Inch Realm Sphere.
Qu Yi lay on the soft chair, turned sideways, and smiled at the Artifact God, saying, “Artifact God, I’ve completed scanning the Origin Law Dao Formation. Now, I’m going to start scanning the Origin Speed Dao.”
Hearing this, the Artifact God lazily turned over and also looked at Qu Yi, smiling and saying, “Done. I’ve already implanted the Origin Speed Dao into your Soul Flower. Go and check it yourself.”
Qu Yi smiled proudly and then exclaimed happily, “Artifact God, you’re truly amazing! By implanting the Enlightenment Stele into the Soul Flowers of the Gold Venerable, Wood Venerable, Water Venerable, Fire Venerable, and Earth Venerable, these five people can now comprehend spatial laws much faster. Now, the five Venerables are on the verge of reaching the cultivation level of Mid-Level Earth Soul Demons.”
The Artifact God immediately lay back down and said lazily, “What’s so special about Mid-Level Earth Soul Demons? There’s no reason to be happy.”
Qu Yi stared at the Artifact God in silence.
Speechless.

Qu Yi took the Boundless Star Dots and went to the Fiend Realm, bringing the Water Venerable to the Immortal Realm.
Soon after, Qu Yi arrived at the Fire Venerable’s cultivation cave and also sent the Fire Venerable inside the Inch Realm Sphere. Then, he went to the Origin Spirit Vein Cave of theHán Cave Sect.
Ten thousand meters deep in the cave, the gale winds were as sharp as steel and extremely fast, but they didn’t cause any harm to Qu Yi at all.
Qu Yi’s physical body had been tempered to an extremely formidable state.
Qu Yi stood in the gale winds and then released the Fire Venerable and Water Venerable from the Inch Realm Sphere.
“Fire Venerable, Water Venerable, your soul realms have already reached Mid-Level Earth Soul Demons. Now, stay in this Origin Spirit Vein Cave and absorb the origin energy to raise your cultivation levels,” Qu Yi said with a smile.
“Thank you, Lord,” the Fire Venerable and Water Venerable replied joyfully.
Qu Yi nodded.
Immediately, the Fire Venerable and Water Venerable sat down in the gale winds, then circulated their immortal essence to form a vortex, quickly drawing in the surrounding origin energy.
In an instant, a huge vortex of origin energy formed around them. When the howling gale winds reached the edge of the vortex, they dispersed automatically and turned back into origin energy, rushing swiftly into the bodies of the Fire Venerable and Water Venerable.
“It’s still too slow for them to absorb the origin energy and raise their cultivation levels on their own. I’d better call the five spirit beasts over,” Qu Yi said with a smile from the side.
Absorbing origin energy and concentrating it intensely within the body to form spatial seeds—although the Fire Venerable and Water Venerable could absorb energy endlessly in this Origin Spirit Vein Cave, the speed was still insufficient. Qu Yi certainly didn’t want them to take another ten or eight years to advance in cultivation.
With a thought, Qu Yi summoned the five spirit beasts.

As soon as the five spirit beings arrived, they received Qu Yi’s orders to quickly use their abilities to continuously draw in primordial energy, pouring it into the vortex like a torrent. The density of primordial energy around Fire Lord and Water Lord’s bodies immediately increased tenfold, becoming almost viscous. Seeing this, Qu Yi smiled happily. “Alright, Fire Lord and Water Lord will soon be able to reach the cultivation level of mid-tier Earth Soul Immortals. It’s time for Gold Lord, Wood Lord, and Earth Lord to make their breakthroughs as well,” Qu Yi said before disappearing.

※※※

In the Primordial Spirit Vein Cave of the Tyrant Dragon Sect, Qu Yi reappeared. Amidst the strong winds, he released Gold Lord, Wood Lord, and Earth Lord from the Tiny World Sphere. “Gold Lord, Wood Lord, Earth Lord, spend a year breaking through your cultivation levels here in this Primordial Spirit Vein Cave,” Qu Yi said with a smile. “We understand, Lord,” the three replied with smiles. Immediately afterward, Gold Lord, Wood Lord, and Earth Lord sat in the strong winds, circulating their immortal essence to form vortices that drew in the surrounding primordial energy. In moments, three massive energy vortices formed in the winds—those of metal, wood, and earth—each drawing in primordial energy that flowed into their bodies. The number of spatial seeds within their bodies grew at an alarming rate. Qu Yi shook his head, clearly unsatisfied with their progress, and immediately summoned the five spirit beings. The five spirit beings also exerted all their strength to pour primordial energy into the vortices around the three. Only after seeing this did Qu Yi leave in satisfaction and return to the Tiny World Sphere.

Throughout the year, Qu Yi remained inside the Tiny World Sphere, constantly scanning the “Primordial Speed Path” formation. Undoubtedly, as a lower-tier Earth Soul Immortal, he had already fully mastered the thirty speed secrets of the five elements, making it easy for him to scan the “Primordial Speed Path” formation. Basically, whenever his immortal consciousness passed over a formation, he would immediately grasp its principles. Leaning back in a soft chair, Qu Yi smiled joyfully. “Haha, all five lords have reached the cultivation level of mid-tier Earth Soul Immortals,” he said. Meanwhile, the Vessel God turned over the infant’s body and complained, “Why are you making so much noise? I still want to sleep.” Qu Yi was taken aback. At that moment, he looked inside his dantian and noticed further changes there.
