My Talent Skill Mutated

Feng Miaotian.

Chen Yu recognized the figure the moment she appeared.

“Why are you only just arriving?” Feng Miaotian stepped forward, her eyes fixed on him as she asked.

“Something came up unexpectedly, so I’m a little late. But at least I made it in time,” Chen Yu replied.

“Greetings, Venerable Feng.” Dean Feng and Tianhai Yoou bowed in respect.

Feng Miaotian nodded, then said, “Your accommodations have been arranged. Follow me.”

The three of them nodded and followed Feng Miaotian away.

…

Celestial City.

One of the ten major cities in the Azure Sky World.

The city alone was even larger than an entire province on the Ancestor Star.

Layer upon layer of interlocking Arrays covered the entirety of Celestial City.

Towering skyscrapers filled the skyline. In the air, maglev vehicles zipped back and forth, giving the city a strong futuristic feel.

Upon entering Celestial City, the density of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi instantly increased more than tenfold.

Compared to the environment on the Ancestor Star, the Azure Sky World was far superior.

After arriving in Celestial City, Feng Miaotian led Chen Yu and the others to a villa district halfway up a mountain in the inner city.

Feng Miaotian stopped in front of one of the villas.

Looking at Tianhai Yoou and Dean Feng, she said, “The two of you will stay here.”

The two exchanged a look, nodded without objection, and stepped into the villa.

“Maybe I should stay here too. It would be more convenient,” Chen Yu suggested.

“Absolutely not. You are a Human Race Venerable, after all. A private residence is a must. We can’t have you lose face as a Venerable,” Feng Miaotian said.

Chen Yu: “…”

“Fine, I’ll go with your arrangements.” He didn’t argue.

He didn’t really care where he stayed.

“Come on, let’s go see Senior Wu,” Feng Miaotian said.

“Senior Wu is here too?” Chen Yu was surprised.

Feng Miaotian nodded. “Of course. With two Human Race Venerables appearing at once, Senior Wu would naturally not miss such a grand occasion.”

Chen Yu nodded. Without another word, Feng Miaotian started walking toward the deepest part of the villa district, with Chen Yu following behind her.

Before long, he had followed Feng Miaotian to a villa in the most secluded part of the district.

Stepping inside, Chen Yu entered the living room and saw a figure on the sofa.

Wu Wudi!

“Senior Wu.” Chen Yu bowed.

Wu Wudi’s gaze fell upon Chen Yu, and as he sized him up, his eyes lit up.

“It’s only been a few years, and you’ve already mastered Seven Laws?!”

Hearing this, Feng Miaotian, who was standing to the side, looked at Chen Yu, her expression stunned.

“You’ve already cultivated Seven Laws?” Feng Miaotian stared at Chen Yu in disbelief.

Chen Yu didn’t hide it, nodding. “Yes. I was a bit lucky and had a few fortuitous encounters.”

“…”

‘This is just “a bit lucky”?’

The last time she saw him, he had only cultivated four Laws. How many years had it been? Now he had already mastered seven.

And if she recalled correctly, Chen Yu had seemingly reached some sort of agreement with the Angel Race and had been on the Ancestor Star ever since the last Godhood Ascension Assembly.

Yet in such a short time, this guy had made another huge leap in progress.

‘At this rate, mastering the Nine Laws and achieving a Supreme Divine Kingdom doesn’t seem to be a problem for him at all.’

“You really know how to surprise people, kid. Come, come, have a seat.”

Wu Wudi said with a chuckle. Chen Yu didn’t stand on ceremony and sat down on the sofa.

“Senior, what’s the situation in the Outer Domain?” Chen Yu asked, looking at Wu Wudi.

Wu Wudi took a sip of tea and set down his cup. “There haven’t been any major changes. However, it seems a Venerable from the Underworld has appeared in the depths of the Outer Domain. They likely came to the Mortal World through a cosmic node.”

“A Venerable from the Underworld!” Hearing this, Chen Yu couldn’t help but recall the situation in the Arctic secret realm on the Ancestor Star.

“Was it the Nether Race?” Chen Yu asked, looking at Wu Wudi.

Hm?

Hearing this, Wu Wudi’s expression tightened. He looked at Chen Yu. “How did you know?”

“…A guess,” Chen Yu replied.

“…”

“Did you receive some kind of intel?” Feng Miaotian, at his side, asked Chen Yu.

Chen Yu shook his head. “I’ve been on the Ancestor Star the whole time. Where would I get any intel?”

“It’s just that I previously encountered a Venerable of the Nether Race in a Space-Time Secret Realm on the Ancestor Star.”

“What?!”

“You encountered a Venerable of the Nether Race in a Space-Time Anomaly on the Ancestor Star?!”

At this, the two of them were instantly unsettled, their eyes wide as they stared at Chen Yu.

Chen Yu nodded. “Yes, I did. But it was only a phantom of the Nether Race Venerable, manifested through a special Array.”

“…Kid, can you not leave us hanging like that?” Feng Miaotian rolled her eyes at Chen Yu.

“Tell us the specifics,” Wu Wudi said.

Chen Yu gave them a general rundown of the situation in the Arctic secret realm, though he didn’t tell them everything, making a few modifications.

“It seems this isn’t a coincidence…” Wu Wudi’s expression was grave as he listened to Chen Yu’s explanation.

Chen Yu looked at him. “Senior, the forces of the Underworld are vast, but if they were to invade the Mortal World on a large scale, the various powers should have the strength to stop them, right?”

“Ordinarily, that wouldn’t be a problem. What we fear are those few Great Emperors from the Underworld,” Wu Wudi said gravely.

“If a Great Emperor from the Underworld were to descend upon the Celestial River Star System, I’m afraid our Star System’s power would be hard-pressed to stop them.”

Wu Wudi sighed.

“But we can call for aid, can’t we? The powers in other Star Systems wouldn’t just stand by and watch,” Chen Yu said.

“That’s true in theory, but when it actually happens, things are different,” Wu Wudi lamented.

Hearing this, Chen Yu didn’t argue.

‘Asking powers from other Star Systems to intervene would require offering them sufficient benefits.’

‘And those benefits would be anything but small.’

“Alright, it’s too early to be talking about this now. No need to rush. Who knows, maybe by then you’ll be on the verge of becoming a Great Emperor yourself,” Wu Wudi said with a smile.

Chen Yu didn’t say anything.

‘Becoming a Great Emperor…’

‘Even for him, that was still a distant prospect. However, if he continued according to his own plan, it wasn’t an impossible goal.’

‘Besides arduous cultivation, he could also use the power of the World Tree to enhance his strength.’

‘But he probably wasn’t the only one who could do that.’

‘However, his World Tree was different. A World Tree like Ling, an incarnation of the Celestial Dao itself, wasn’t something that could appear in just any Space-Time Secret Realm.’

‘Without that stroke of incredible luck, achieving his current level of strength would have been a fool’s dream.’

…

After they finished talking, Chen Yu and Feng Miaotian left Wu Wudi’s villa and arrived at another one not far away.

“This is your place. What do you think? If you’re not satisfied, we can arrange for a different one.”

Feng Miaotian asked, looking at Chen Yu.

Chen Yu smiled. “It’s great. This will be fine.”

Feng Miaotian nodded. “Alright, then. You get some rest. Contact me if you need anything. I’m staying next door.”

Chen Yu nodded. After watching Feng Miaotian enter the villa next door, he went into his own.

Stepping inside, Chen Yu lay down on the sofa, mulling over the situation in the Azure Sky World.

From Feng Miaotian, Chen Yu had learned about the secret realms in the Azure Sky World.

In the Azure Sky World, there were a total of thirty-nine Space-Time Secret Realms.

These Space-Time Secret Realms had existed for a very long time.

‘Once this is over, I’ll go check them out,’ Chen Yu decided.

“Fellow Daoist Chen Yu, are you there?”

Just as he was about to have Sophie give him a massage so he could relax, a voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

Chen Yu’s eyes narrowed. He looked outside and released his Divine Thought, discovering two figures standing at his villa’s entrance.
