Book 11 Chapter 30: Assembly at Snow Fish Island (translated by Saima)
Snow Fish Island, a few thousand miles long and covered with ice and snow throughout the year. In the middle of the island, there is a small mountain that is a few miles long and a few hundred meters tall. On top of that mountain is a curved lake. Inside the lake there are many snow white little fish called âSnow Fishâ. And beside the lake, there is an Ancient Teleportation Formation.
A light shines and Qin Yu appears inside the Ancient Teleportation Formation.
âMaster, the scenery on this Snow Fish Island does not look bad at all.â Shi Xin behind Qin Yu says laughingly. âLetting those Ascended Realm Emissaries fight over the Heaven-Sundering Diagram here is already too good for them.â
Since becoming Qin Yuâs holy beast, Shi Xin is always by his masterâs side.
Holy beasts can be said to be the most loyal creatures. Firstly, it is not possible to become a holy beast if one does not accept it from the bottom of their heart. Secondly, after the holy beast collar has fused with their soul, any treacherous thoughts will be known to their master, even if the holy beast is on a higher power level.
Hou Fei also laughs evilly, âEven though we donât know how much top grade elemental ore they have, it shouldnât be a small sum considering all the top grade Immortal and Demon weapons they showed us.â
âBig brother, with 9 pieces of top grade elemental ore, the Sword Immortal Puppet will reach its peak power right?â Hei Yu starts speaking.
âYes, 9 pieces.â Qin Yu nods and begins to laugh. âDefeating those Emissaries should not take too many top grade elemental ores. Of course, that is only the case when they do not use any Secret Skills.â
Qin Yu is not an idiot, simply by using his brain a little, he would know. How could the powerful leaders of the factions behind those Emissaries not have given them any super formidable secret weapons?
Like a 1000-Thunder Paralyzing Talisman for example.
With the power of a 1000-Thunder Paralyzing Talisman, even if the user is only Hua Yan, the effects will be terrifying.
âSenior Zong, Itâs me, Qin Yu.â
Qin Yu starts to speak with Zong Jue via his communicator. In preparation for the auction, at least a few buildings must be constructed. They definitely cannot let so many experts sit on the cold, snow covered ground. There must also be people to serve the many subordinates from the great factions.
This requires manpower. The servants from the Stellar Tower are too weak to be of use. Furthermore, they canât even pass through the Ancient Teleportation Formation.
Thatâs why Qin Yu is asking Zong Jue for manpower.
âSo itâs little brother Qin Yu. Last time you mentioned some personal business. It wasnât the 9-in-9 heavenly tribulation, was it?â
Last time, Zong Jue was able to find out that Qin Yu was at the middle stage of Dujie so this is only a simple deduction.
âYes, it was indeed the 9-in-9 heavenly tribulation, its power was just way too unreasonably high.â Qin Yu laments in his transmission.
This causes Zong Jue to remember his own situation when he was facing the 9-in-9 heavenly tribulation in the past. âYes, the power of the 9-in-9 heavenly tribulation is really exceedingly high. When I was hit by a lightning strike in the past, my whole mind was in a dazed state. Fortunately, I was able to regain my senses and left my body. Only my Yuanying remained and I had to practice as a loose demon.â
âRight, Qin Yu, so you actually passed the tribulation?â Zong Jue asks.
Listening to Zong Jue, Qin Yu knows that Zong Jue also faced an attack similar to the Soul Hypnosis Art in his own tribulation.
âI did, but only due to luck.â Qin Yu transmits.
âYou are a human. Your 9-in-9 heavenly tribulation shouldnât have been too powerful. Fang Tian and I are both Superior Divine Beasts. The power of our 9-in-9 heavenly tribulation was really astonishing. If you could have seen itâŚâ Zong Jue stops talking there.
However, Zong Jue couldnât imagine that the 9-in-9 heavenly tribulation of a human was many times more terrifying than that of a Superior Divine Beast.
Qin Yu also does not explain himself. âYes, I was very lucky. If not due to luck I might have become a loose practitioner as well.â
Exactly, without the elemental life force and the Meteoric Tear, Qin Yu would have no choice but to live on as a loose practitioner if his body was destroyed. Fortunately, Qin Yu possesses the Meteoric Tear and has his elemental life force for restoring his body.
âSenior Zong, this time I want to talk about the auction of the Heaven-Sundering Diagram. My Junior Martial Uncle Lan Feng is in need of top grade elemental ore. He will be at Snow Fish Island shortly.â Qin Yu quickly moves on to the main topic.
âYour Junior Martial Uncle will come as well? True, he should come to such an important occasion.â Zong Jue transmits. âThatâs right, where is Senior Lan? Will he come this time?â
In Zong Jueâs heart, there is only utmost respect for Senior Lan.
âUncle Lan is currently doing closed door training. You also know his level, who knows how long it will take this time? Only my Junior Martial Uncle knows the location. We cannot distract his training without reason. But if something happens, I can ask Junior Martial Uncle to go inform him.â Qin Yu speaks of a false, hypothetical situation.
Uncle Lan?
He is already no longer in the Mortal Realm. However, outsiders still do not know this. Due to this, Qin Yu can use his reputation to intimidate the experts.
âOh, closed door trainingâŚ. At the level of Senior Lan, itâs normal for a training session to take a hundred or a thousand years. Qin Yu, no matter what happens you cannot disturb him. Come to me if you have a problem. If even I am unable to solve it then itâs still not too late to ask Senior Lan.â Zong Jue transmits.
Zong Jue respectfully addresses âUncle Lanâ as though he was his own senior.
âThank you very much, Senior Zong.â Qin Yu is very glad, it seems that⌠Uncle Lanâs position in Zong Jueâs mind is extraordinarily high.
âSenior Zong, we will soon hold the auction of the Heaven-Sundering Diagram on Snow Fish Island. When the time comes, the Ascended Realm Emissaries will be here. Junior Martial Uncle is letting me organizing this matter but I donât have many subordinates. Acting as an organizer will be difficult.â
Zong Jue fully understands Qin Yuâs intention here. âHaha, alright, I understand. Tomorrow, I shall take a few hundreds experts of the Chaotic Astral Ocean with me to Snow Fish Island. All the welcoming and servicing will be done by my people, you only have to concentrate on the auction.â
Qin Yu is immediately cheerful. âIf so I can feel a lot more relaxed now. Iâm truly thankful to Senior Zong.â
âWhat do you mean thankful? You gave me a chance to enter Ni Yang Realm. I should be thankful to you.â Zong Jue says laughingly.
Now Qin Yu is thinking about his Lord of Black Flameâs Ring.
His Lord of Black Flameâs Ring can bring 9 people, including the user, into Ni Yang Realm. His side has 3 people, Zong Jueâs has 2-3 people. How should he use the rest of the spots? They must not be wasted.

Time passes by quickly. Not long after Qin Yu arrived at Snow Fish Island, a few hundred loose practitioners appeared at Snow Fish Island. All these experts are formidable, even the weakest ones have the power of a 6th tribulation loose immortal. There are a few 12th tribulation experts as well, and the leader is the master of the Chaotic Astral Ocean â Zong Jue.
âSenior Zongâ Qin Yu leads six people to welcome them.
âHa ha, Qin Yu, Hou Fei and⌠Hei Yu, right?â Zong Jue actually shows the face of a friendly elder. He has a very good impression of Qin Yu and his brothers. There is no need to talk about Qin Yu while Hou Fei is a Fiery-Eyed Aquatic Monkey, which Zong Jue regards highly. In regards to Hei Yu, he actually feels some mysterious connection to him.
Zong Jue with his friendly manners greatly shock the loose practitioners behind him. The cold and violent Zong Jue is actually capable of showing such a demeanor.
âSenior Zongâ Hei Yu says respectfully.
âGoodâŚâ Zong Jue smiles lightly while nodding. âLian Xiao, you go and organize everything. We just need to build a few simple manors beside Mount Snow Fish, no need to be extravagant.â
âYes, big brother.â Lian Xiao bows lightly.
At the same time, Lian Xiao looks at Qin Yu and winks with a smile. Qin Yu and this Lian Xiaoâs family really do have a friendly relationship after all.
âBrother Qin Yu.â Lian Chong also ran forward.
âItâs you, Lian Chong.â Qin Yu shows a cheerful face, just now he didnât notice Lian Chong amongst the few hundred people.
âGreat uncle, let them prepare for the welcoming. Brother Qin Yu and I will go to have some fun.â Lian Chong says loudly while Zong Jue also nods, having no objections.
>>>>>>
During the days after Zong Jueâs people arrived, the whole Snow Fish Island became bustling with activity. As expected of the manpower, in only a few days, they have managed to build five gigantic mansions, four in each direction and one in the center.
The mansion in the center is the biggest.
Qin Yu, Hou Fei, Hei Yu, Zong Jue, Lian Xiao, Hu Yi, Fu Yun Zi and his two brothers, and Shi Bian and his brother are all inside the main hall of the central mansion.
âOf the four North, South, East, West mansions, we have our own people living in the North, East, and West mansions. Only the South mansion is left empty. The South mansion can only fit two to three hundred people at max. When the Dragon Clan, Immortal, Demon and Devil factions come, we will have them live there.â Lian Xiao presents.
Qin Yu furrows his brow. âTwo to three hundred people? Thereâs only the South mansion and we will need to provide each sideâs subordinates with housing. Will it be enough?â
The second master of one of the three great islands inside the Chaotic Astral Ocean, Shi Bian of Black Wind Island speaks uncaringly. âLittle brother Qin Yu, why should we care about that? It is a big mansion. If only a few of them come, it will suffice. If too many come then it is not our problem.â
âYes, we have already divided it like this. If there is a problem then they can sort it out amongst themselves.â Black Wind Islandâs master Shi Hua also agrees.
Qin Yu smiles and no longer says anything.
Zong Jue begins to speak with a great smile. âThe central mansion is also very big. We can let the leaders of the factions stay here and their subordinates can stay in the South Mansion. If that is not enough then they can sleep outside.â
They must treat the leaders well, but why should they care about the followers?
âSenior Zong, there is only half a month until the end of the year. Some people may come a few days earlier. I have to trouble your people with the welcoming then.â Qin Yu smiles lightly.
âDonât worry, I have brought a hundred people for the welcoming ceremonies.â Zong Jue smiles. âOh yes, Qin Yu, where is your Junior Martial Uncle? Didnât you say he will come for the auction?â
Qin Yu nods and says: âYes, my Junior Martial Uncle should come in two to three days. But Senior Zong, my Junior Martial Uncle has a very strange personality. Normally, he is always undergoing closed door training. Except for important occasions, he never talks to other people at all.â
Sword Immortal Lan Feng is in fact Qin Yuâs own Sword Immortal puppet. If people constantly find him for the sake of talking, would Qin Yu ever have a piece of mind?
Someone talking to Lan Feng means that Qin Yu has to seriously think about his responses.
âOh, high level experts generally have a temper. No worries, I will not let people disturb him.â Zong Jue nods his head.
Mount Qing Xu, inside the Heavenly Palace.
âThis time, I must obtain the Heaven-Sundering Diagram no matter what.â Hua Yan suddenly stands up.
âMing Liang, prepare the followers, we go immediately.â
Hua Yanâs order was sent out from within the Heavenly Palace.
In only a moment, over six hundred loose immortals depart from Mount Qing Xu. Sword Immortal Hua Yan, Reverend Ming Liang and their subordinates fly towards Snow Fish Island at top speed.
>>>>>>
Besides Hua Yan, Blood Devil Du Zhong Jun also brings a similar amount of subordinates to Snow Fish Island. They know that before the auction even begins, it is more important to make a show of force first.
That is why all the Emissaries brought a great amount of followers.
Sword Immortal Hua Yan, Blood Devil Du Zhong Jun, Purple-Eyed Cow Devil King âMan Qianâ, the mysterious Dragon Clan Emissary, and the Dragon Clan Leader⌠all the super experts and their subordinates are heading from all directions towards Snow Fish Island.
The once tranquil Snow Fish Island has become bustling with activities.
At Snow Fish Island.
Standing in the sky, Lan Feng and Zong Jue are at the front, Qin Yu, Hou Fei, Lian Xiao, Hu Yi, and the others are standing behind them. They sensed someone was coming and went out to greet them.
âThe Immortal Realm Emissary has arrived!â The voice of a 10th tribulation loose demon resounds.
Lan Feng and Zong Jue immediately look at that direction.
Leading a crowd of loose immortals, a brightly smiling Hua Yan and Reverend Ming Liang, who is behind Hua Yan, are seen flying towards them.
âHaha, it is brother Lan Feng. I did not expect you to auction off the Heaven-Sundering Diagram. This truly surprises me.â Hua Yan can be seen smiling from afar. In Hua Yanâs eyes, Zong Jue may be an expert, but not someone who can be his opponent.
But this mysterious Sword Immortal Lan Feng is someone he recognizes as a great nemesis.
âBrother Hua Yan, please stop talking. Iâm also very hesitant in auctioning off the Heaven-Sundering Diagram.â Lan Feng seems very regretful.
Just after they finished speaking, Lan Feng, Zong Jue and Hua Yan all look at the Ancient Teleportation Formation on Snow Fish Island.
The formation shines nonstop with a brilliant light and a stream of people boldly come out.
âThe Demon Emissary has arrived!â The voice of the announcer resounds throughout Snow Fish Island.
âJust like Du Zhong Jun said, the Demon Realm actually sent this guy.â There is a light in Hua Yanâs eyes.
âHaha, brother Man Qian. I never actually thought that you would unexpectedly descend as well.â Hua Yan greets him as if he is meeting an old friend.
âMan Qian?â Qin Yu is shaken in his heart while looking at Hou Fei and Hei Yu. The three brothers look in the direction of the Demon Emissary doubtfully.
