Chapter 20: One-Star Heavenly Soul Immortal

The Five Lords—Gold Lord, Wood Lord, Water Lord, Fire Lord, and Earth Lord—had all reached the level of One-Star Heavenly Soul Immortal in terms of their soul cultivation.
Qu Yi currently controlled two Origin Vital Veins. One was located on Tianjiu Star in the Wood Forest Star Region, and the other on Tiansu Star in the Water Ocean Star Region.
In the Origin Vital Vein on Tianjiu Star, there were a total of a thousand Spirit Essences, allowing two people to enter at once to advance their cultivation. Meanwhile, the Origin Vital Vein on Tiansu Star had only six hundred Spirit Essences, permitting only one person to enter.
“Gold Lord and Water Lord, you two go to the Origin Vital Vein on Tianjiu Star. Fire Lord, you enter the one on Tiansu Star,” Qu Yi said to the five lords inside the Dimensional Sphere.
Since it was not possible for all five lords to enter the Origin Vital Veins simultaneously to advance their cultivation, Qu Yi had no choice but to arrange it this way. Fortunately, it would only take a year before it was the turn of Wood Lord and Earth Lord to do the same.
“Understood, Lord,” replied Gold Lord, Water Lord, and Fire Lord with faint smiles.
“I have no objections,” said Wood Lord and Earth Lord simultaneously with smiles.
As their souls were united, the five lords would not harbor any resentment over such an arrangement.
Qu Yi nodded smilingly, then left the Dimensional Sphere. He used the Boundless Star Map to travel to the cave of the Origin Vital Vein on Tianjiu Star.
“Spirit Essences, come here,” Qu Yi called out, sending his thoughts out immediately.
Soon, the thousand Spirit Essences gathered around him, their five colors flashing continuously, creating a dazzling scene.
Qu Yi smiled and released Gold Lord and Water Lord from the Dimensional Sphere. “Choose a spot and sit down to prepare for cultivation advancement,” he said.
Gold Lord and Water Lord nodded and immediately selected places to sit. They then activated the immortal essence within them, causing the space seeds in their dantians to spin rapidly in a vortex-like pattern.
In an instant, invisible vortex zones formed around Gold Lord and Water Lord, with elemental energies of metal and water flowing into them and being swiftly absorbed by the two lords.
“Spirit Essences, form groups of five hundred each and go help Gold Lord and Water Lord,” Qu Yi exclaimed happily, conveying his thoughts to the thousand Spirit Essences.
Soon, the Spirit Essences split into groups of five hundred each. Two groups approached Gold Lord and Water Lord, channeling their elemental energies into the vortex zones even faster.
Gold Lord and Water Lord’s bodies trembled violently, but they gritted their teeth and continued to absorb the vast amounts of elemental energy, constantly forming space seeds, which in turn tried to create planetary worlds.

Qu Yi watched for a while and realized that Jin Zun and Shui Zun had stabilized, and breaking through to the next level was only a matter of time. “Come back in a year,” Qu Yi said with a smile before immediately using the Boundless Stars to leave. At the same time, Qu Yi took Huo Zun to the Origin Tianmai Cave on Tian Su Star and ordered six hundred spirit beings to help Huo Zun improve his cultivation. After finishing all this, Qu Yi meditated inside the Inch Realm Sphere, simply lying on a soft chair and scanning the “Origin Space Dao” formation. Mu Zun and Tu Zun continued to stabilize their spiritual realms inside the Inch Realm Sphere, striving to comprehend the power of another world. A year passed. Jin Zun, Shui Zun, and Huo Zun all successfully reached the level of One-Star Tianpo Immortals, with each of them having a planetary world formed within their dantian. When looking into the dantian space with their immortal consciousness, it was clear as if a planet had been placed inside it. The planetary worlds within these three were monochromatic—gold, blue, and red. Naturally, Jin Zun, Shui Zun, and Huo Zun could now truly wield the power of worlds. While bringing the three out, Qu Yi placed Mu Zun in the Origin Tianmai Cave on Tian Jiu Star and Tu Zun in that on Tian Su Star, intending for them to also spend a year breaking through in cultivation. Another year passed. Mu Zun and Tu Zun also successfully reached the level of One-Star Tianpo Immortals and were immediately brought into the Inch Realm Sphere by Qu Yi. Naturally, planetary worlds had formed within them as well, colored green and yellow respectively. Qu Yi sat on the soft chair, looking at Jin Zun, Mu Zun, Shui Zun, Huo Zun, and Tu Zun in front of him, his smile never fading. “Very good, very good…” Qu Yi repeated. The Vessel God lying on a nearby soft chair could no longer stand it, so he turned over, opened his eyes, and shouted, “Qu Yi, why are you smiling? It’s disturbing my sleep. Now, look at your own dantian space and see what changes have occurred.” Hearing this, Qu Yi pursed his lips and immediately inwardly examined his dantian space. There were five planets, each ten times larger than those in Jin Zun’s five dantian spaces, with surfaces colored gold, green, blue, red, and yellow. These five planets rotated continuously on the same circle, and at the center of them was an invisible, even larger chaotic planet. The power emanating from within it controlled the five planets as they rotated around it. “Hmm, this chaotic planet seems to represent some kind of will, some kind of rule, some kind of dominance,” Qu Yi murmured to himself.

Although Qu Yi couldn’t understand the Chaos Planet, his intuition told him that this planet was extremely mysterious and exuded an overwhelming sense of power. Naturally, he became even more confident in owning this Chaos Planet. “Chaos energy gave rise to the Chaos Planet—interesting,” murmured the Artifact God. The Five Lords—Gold Lord, Wood Lord, Water Lord, Fire Lord, and Earth Lord—also watched Qu Yi with smiles. Qu Yi quickly shook his head, stood up, and said with a laugh, “Never mind. Since we’ve all reached the rank of One-Star Heavenly Soul Immortal, we no longer need to fear anyone.” Haha… Everyone burst into laughter. At that moment, Qu Yi’s expression changed as he noticed a transformation in his Soul Flower. Originally, the Soul Flower only showed two layers of floral outlines, but now it displayed three layers, each forming a separate floral shape. “Haha, the Five Energies and Three Flowers—these three flowers represent different stages of the soul realm. Now that I’ve reached the rank of One-Star Heavenly Soul Immortal, my Soul Flower has successfully evolved into three layers. The first and second layers are already solidified. All I need to do is gradually strengthen the third layer, and my soul realm will reach perfection,” Qu Yi said happily. The Artifact God nodded and said, “With the three flowers revealed, you can now be considered among the strong.” Qu Yi pouted unhappily—this Artifact God really liked to belittle people. “Let’s all go about our own tasks. We just need Cat Two to arrive at Tianxian Star, and then we can go out and explore,” Qu Yi said, ignoring the Artifact God and speaking to the Five Lords. The Five Lords nodded. ※※※ Tiansu Star, Shuiyang Star System. Ever since the three strongest members of the Whirlpool Fish Tribe—Chui Hai, Chui Kong, and Chui Xing—went to the underwater secret realm, they never returned. Naturally, the entire Whirlpool Fish Tribe assumed they had perished. The tribe’s headquarters was located in a large underwater canyon. Now, the Whirlpool Fish Tribe decided to recall all its members scattered in the ocean back to the headquarters, seal off the canyon, and enter a long period of dormancy, temporarily abandoning attempts to compete with other oceanic races for control of Tiansu Star. Their goal was simple: during this time of dormancy, they hoped someone within the tribe could reach the rank of Five-Star Heavenly Soul Demon, ensuring they could remain on Tiansu Star and qualify to compete for its rule. It was a good plan, but unfortunately, Qu Yi wouldn’t give the Whirlpool Fish Tribe a chance to survive.

The four monstrous beasts under Qu Yi’s control—Lei Ling, Lei Kong, Shui Kong, and Cang Yang—returned to their respective tribes and immediately gathered the powerful Tian Po monsters from each tribe, all heading to the headquarters valley of the Swirling Water Fish tribe.
“Swirling Water Fish tribe, today is your day of death,” Lei Ling shouted coldly from the edge of the valley.
Behind Lei Ling, aside from Lei Kong, there were seven electric eels at the Tian Po monster level.
“Swirling Water Fish tribe, come out and face your doom! Don’t even think about hiding—none of you will escape,” Shui Kong shouted fiercely from another edge of the valley.
Behind Shui Kong followed six giant water-crushing lobsters, each at the Tian Po monster level, lined up in a row, their presence terrifying.
“Swirling Water Fish tribe, out of respect for the decades-long friendship between you and our three tribes, commit suicide. That way, at least you’ll keep your bodies intact,” Cang Yang said mockingly from the other side of the valley.
Behind Cang Yang were twenty giant sea rats, each at the Tian Po monster level, though most were at the first or second star level.
Under Qu Yi’s orders, Lei Ling, Lei Kong, Shui Kong, and Cang Yang finally brought their Tian Po monster-level kin to exterminate the Swirling Water Fish tribe.
“Electric Eel tribe, Water-Crushing Lobster tribe, Sea Rat tribe, don’t go too far!”
Panicked cries echoed from the bottom of the valley.
Clearly, sensing the presence of nearly forty Tian Po monster-level warriors above, the Swirling Water Fish tribe, whose strongest members were only at the third star level, dared not fight back. They could only pray for someone stronger to come to their aid.
“Hehe, Swirling Water Fish tribe, you no longer deserve to speak to our three tribes. Everyone, don’t hold back—enjoy the kill!” Lei Ling laughed as he shouted.
“Good! Good! Good!”
Cheers rose in response.
In moments, the Tian Po monster warriors from the Electric Eel tribe, Water-Crushing Lobster tribe, and Sea Rat tribe arrived at the bottom of the valley and began wiping out all the Swirling Water Fish.
As soon as Lei Ling, Lei Kong, Shui Kong, and Cang Yang reached the bottom, they targeted the remaining five Tian Po monster-level warriors of the Swirling Water Fish tribe, aiming to seize their demon cores.
The other Tian Po monster warriors from the three tribes naturally set out to slaughter all the Swirling Water Fish at the Yuan Monster or Earth Monster level.
The slaughter was merciless; blood quickly surged and churned at the bottom of the valley, turning it red.
For the Swirling Water Fish, escaping meant death, and staying meant certain death. One after another, they died in terror.

As for those vassal tribes of the Spiral Fish Clan, the three clans’ powerful demons did not kill them. Naturally, those vassal tribes did not resist the powerful clans either; they stood obediently and even killed those Spiral Fish who usually bullied them. It wasn’t long before the Spiral Fish Clan was wiped out. “Haha, with five demon pills from Spiral Fish, I can finally report to my master.” Lei Ling laughed heartily, while Lei Kong, Shui Kong, and Cang Yang beside him also smiled knowingly.
