Stellar Transformation-Chapter 126: Season 5, Episode 28, Meteor Realm

Red Blood Cave Mansion, teams of guards were continuously patrolling every corner, and even the beautiful maids walking along the corridors were cautious, no longer daring to flirt with the guards as they had done in the past. The entire atmosphere of the Red Blood Cave Mansion was very oppressive.

Yan Qing sisters, the Xuan Turtle brothers, the Hu Sha brothers, Teng Bi, Qin Yu, Hou Fei, Zhuang Zhong, and all the great Protectors were also staying within their own residences, with not a single one loitering outside.

Time passed day by day amid such heightened alertness and intense pressure...

Inside the great hall of Nine Evil Hall.

There was a throne at the top of the great hall, with four other thrones on each side below it. At the moment, there are eight men draped in purple brocade robes sitting in their respective seats; only the second seat on the left side below the main throne is empty.

The burly man sitting on the uppermost throne had bushy eyebrows and large eyes and naturally exuded a domineering aura.

This man in the purple robe was now carefully looking at a three-inch-long Jade Sword in his hand, scrutinizing it several times: "The legendary Nine Swords, this is the sixth one. Indeed, what a fine sword, a fine sword indeed." The man in the purple robe kept exclaiming in admiration, with a brilliant light flashing in his eyes.

The first man in a purple robe on the right side below the main throne discontentedly said, "Big Brother, what’s so special about it? Isn’t it just a top-grade spiritual artifact? Although top-grade spiritual artifacts are somewhat valuable, it hardly seems worth such fuss, aside from its special use. What’s so good about the Jade Sword itself?"

"What do you know," chuckled the man in the purple robe above.

The Nine Evils of the Nine Evil Hall were originally Purple Evil Flood Dragons. Although not divine beasts, they were close to it. A single Purple Evil Flood Dragon could defeat five or six cultivators of the same level, and these nine Purple Evil Flood Dragons together became one of the Three Undersea Forces.

The man in the purple robe above was none other than Di Long, the leader of the nine brothers!

Di Long’s eyes shone as he looked at the Jade Sword: "That special use, all of you brothers are aware of it. However, the Jade Sword itself is also extraordinary. Let me tell you, the material used to refine this Jade Sword is nothing but a block of Ice Jade."

"How is that possible?"

The seven brothers below were all startled.

Ice Jade was just a material used to refine middle-grade spiritual artifacts; even with further refining, it wouldn’t be possible to refine it into an upper-grade spiritual artifact, let alone a top-grade one.

Di Long’s mouth curved into a smile: "Don’t be incredulous. This Jade Sword is merely the key to open the Immortal Mansion. The strength of the Immortal who refined this Jade Sword is beyond your imagination. He has the ability to turn corruption into magic."

"To use materials for middle-grade spiritual artifacts to refine a top-grade spiritual artifact also shows the strength of the Immortal. What could be hidden inside the Immortal Mansion if the key itself comprises nine top-grade spiritual artifacts?" Di Long’s eyes sparkled.

The other seven brothers also seemed to recall the treasures inside the Immortal Mansion, their eyes lighting up one after another.

Old San, Di Xu, said, "Big Brother, according to our intelligence, seven out of the nine Jade Swords have already appeared. The cultivators from Penglai Immortal Domain got one; those Demon Cultivators from Purple Flame Demon Prison were lucky to get two. The Azure Dragon from the Green Dragon Palace got one; we have one; and the Three-eyed Old Monster from Bishui Mansion also got one. It seems that the Azure Dragon is currently in conflict with the Three-eyed Old Monster over the seventh Jade Sword."

The strength of the undersea Demon Cultivators is immense, and the number of Jade Swords obtained also indirectly reflects their respective strengths.

Big Brother Di Long nodded slightly and smiled, "Penglai Immortal Domain indeed has many cultivator factions; they only have one Jade Sword, and I expect they will have some internal chaos for a while. As for the seventh Jade Sword that has just appeared, we won’t get involved. Let’s allow the Azure Dragon and the Three-eyed Old Monster to slowly fight it out."

The Azure Dragon of Green Dragon Palace and the Three-eyed Green-eyed Toad of Bishui Mansion are two mighty divine beasts; it would take the full force of the Nine Evil Hall to fight either one of them.

"Big Brother, so far only seven Jade Swords have emerged; where might the last two be?" Old Jiu, Di Nai, asked.

Di Long spoke confidently, "No one knows about the ninth for the time being, but... as for the eighth, I am aware of it. Old Ba is personally on the move just for this eighth Jade Sword. If my predictions are correct, Old Ba will surely succeed in acquiring it."

Old San, Di Xu, laughed, "Old Jiu, I’m aware of this matter too. Big Brother had me send people to collect information from all sides while also searching for the existence of the Jade Swords. I also came across the news of the eighth Jade Sword by chance."

Search for the Jade Sword.

It wasn’t just Nine Evil Hall conducting the search. Penglai Immortal Domain, Purple Flame Demon Prison, Green Dragon Palace, Nine Evil Hall, and Bishui Mansion—the five great powers—were all sending their best hands to scour every corner, not just on islands and ocean floors, but also on the Hidden Dragon Continent.

However, those cultivating demons, immortals, and demons who entered the Hidden Dragon Continent were only there to search for the Jade Sword, and did not interfere with the internal affairs of the continent; otherwise, the stability of the Three Great Dynasties of the Hidden Dragon Continent could not have been maintained.

"The more Jade Swords, the better. The more we acquire, the more say we will have when the Five Directions powers open the Immortal Mansion, and the more treasures we will get. We are determined to secure this eighth Jade Sword. Now, we need to focus on finding where the ninth Jade Sword is!"

Di Long stood up, looking down at his brothers, and said, "Brothers, we are now all devoting our efforts to find information about the ninth Jade Sword!"

"Yes, Big Brother!"

The seven men in purple robes stood up as well and responded in unison.

Three months had elapsed, and Red Blood Cave Mansion remained tranquil as ever.

At this moment, within the secret chamber.

Cha Hong sat cross-legged, with the Black Jade Box floating in front of him, emitting beams of light. Vast Demon Essence Power was continuously depleting the energy of the ’Dust Removal Restriction’ on the Black Jade Box. At this point, Cha Hong’s excitement was surging.

Withdrawing his hands and ceasing the input of Demon Essence Power, Cha Hong’s forehead was dotted with beads of sweat.

"Huff."

Sweat formed on Cha Hong’s eyelashes as he approached the Black Jade Box that he had had for a hundred years. By now, Cha Hong was certain that the Box was about to be opened, and when the time came, he would obtain the treasures within, providing a foundation for his ambition.

The cultivator’s Penglai Immortal Domain, the Demon Cultivator’s Purple Flame Demon Prison, the undersea Green Dragon Palace, Nine Evil Hall, and Bishui Mansion—these five great powers were indeed the strongest among the overseas cultivators.

Red Blood Cave Mansion was merely one of the Eight Great Cave Mansions under the Nine Evil Hall; compared with those colossal powers, it was not on the same level. This led Cha Hong to always keep a low profile, to remain cautious. After obtaining the Black Jade Box, he became even more discreet.

"I, Cha Hong, have waited a hundred years, and this Ghost Restriction is finally about to break. Sigh, the Immortal who set up this restriction, wasn’t it just a Dust Removal Restriction? It shouldn’t have taken much effort. Yet so much energy was expended," Cha Hong said with a laugh and a sigh.

At this moment, Cha Hong was in a good mood.

However, the sudden death of his younger brother, Cha Po, brought a bad feeling to Cha Hong.

"I hope nothing goes wrong at this final stage. But... no matter who it is, I absolutely won’t let anyone take my treasure," Cha Hong’s eyes flashed coldly, then he rested for a while to recover his Demon Essence Power before continuing to deplete the energy of the ’Dust Removal Restriction’.

At the Red Blood Cave Mansion, in the eastern district where Qin Yu stayed, within his designated courtyard.

Hou Fei sat cross-legged with eyes closed in the courtyard beside a Black Stick. Hou Fei had been cultivating like this for a full three months. However, he was not entirely focused on his cultivation, as he had left a portion of his Spiritual Sense to monitor the surrounding area.

No one was permitted to disturb Qin Yu during his cultivation.

In the room where Qin Yu was protected by Hou Fei for his cultivation, Qin Yu’s body emitted a hazy starlight. The Star Power formed a massive Star Nebula that enveloped him as he sat cross-legged above the bed.

At this moment, Qin Yu was sitting in the void.

Suddenly!

The Star Nebula’s rotation accelerated, and at the same time, the sun above the ocean shot out a blazing beam of energy that pierced directly through the water and into the deep sea, aiming straight for the room in the Red Blood Cave Mansion where Qin Yu was located. This fiery energy merged directly into the Star Nebula.

In an instant, the color of the Star Nebula turned into a golden glow, and Qin Yu was completely shrouded in the gold light.

A series of faint noises emanated from Qin Yu’s body, and his forehead was covered in large beads of sweat. The intense pain caused Qin Yu to spasm, but he still endured because this was the most critical moment.

Inside Qin Yu’s body.

The density of the Silver Stars in the Dantian was now double what it had been in the past. Countless stars rotated rapidly while streams of fiery energy entered from outside his body, causing drastic and earth-shattering changes in Qin Yu’s tendons, bones, and muscles.

Tendons, muscles, and even every cell in Qin Yu’s body were undergoing dramatic changes. The toughness of his body increased time and time again.

Hot!

As if being roasted by fire, the True Star Fire within Qin Yu’s body also began to burn fiercely. The multitude of silver stars in the Dantian universe started to rotate abruptly, merging continuously towards the center unlike ever before.

"Hiss, hiss~~"

Aided by the power of the most primal True Sun Fire, the True Star Fire intensified greatly. Those silver stars were being tempered and refined, spinning faster and faster. As time went on, the velocity of the silver stars’ rotation increased further.

Moreover, the silver stars were converging towards the center, layer by layer, from within.

Naturally, the outer layers had a greater number of silver stars. The closer to the center, the more silver stars converged, and in the vast space of the Dantian, all the silver stars seemed to go mad converging towards the center.

The enormous power of the purest True Sun Fire not only aided the True Star Fire but also continuously tempered the body.

At the same time, streams of cool water flowed out from the Meteor Tear, spreading throughout Qin Yu’s body. This also allowed Qin Yu’s body to recover quickly, but just as quickly, the flames would temper and damage it again.

The continuous repair and destruction by the Meteor Tear and the flames rapidly increased the toughness of Qin Yu’s body.

Lei Wei, who relied on the power of the Primordial Solar True Fire for cultivation, could only depend on the body’s natural recovery, which could not catch up with the speed of the Meteor Tear’s healing. The faster the recovery, the more frequent the tempering.

...

Outside the room, Hou Fei suddenly opened his eyes and stood up quickly, staring at the room where Qin Yu resided. He, too, was shocked by the powerful energy fluctuations.

"Protector Hou Fei, what’s happening?" Zhuang Zhong, the protector, ran over to ask. He also felt the energy fluctuations in the area. At the same time, two Snake Women also rushed over, equally shocked by the massive energy present.

Even if someone were cultivating, the energy shouldn’t be this vast, should it?

"Get out!"

Hou Fei suddenly glared fiercely and roared, his ferocious demeanor frightening Zhuang Zhong and the Yan Qing sisters, causing their hearts to tremble. They dared not say anything else, as they knew that Hou Fei had killed Sang Mo right in front of the Red Blood Cave Mansion’s entrance.

Hou Fei then turned to look back at the room.

"How could that pure fire power have descended from the sky just now?" Hou Fei was also somewhat puzzled in his heart. In fact, there were Restrictions around Qin Yu’s room, and energy emissions shouldn’t have attracted the attention of other protectors. Yet, that fire power had broken the Restrictions effortlessly.

This was what caused the attention of other protectors at Qin Yu’s most crucial moment, due to the surge of powerful energy.

One by one, protectors began to congregate.

"Hey, Yan, the beautiful one, what happened inside?" Protector Wu Tong of the Hu Sha brothers asked Yan Qing. Seeing Hou Fei guarding outside the room, Wu Tong didn’t dare to barge in himself, well-aware of Hou Fei’s defiant and untamed nature.

Yan Qing shook her head and said, "I don’t know, perhaps Protector Liu Xing is cultivating."

"Cultivating? Why didn’t he set up a Restriction? We all felt the energy fluctuations. Doesn’t he know that the Red Blood Cave Mansion is currently in an extremely tense state?" Ba Ming, one of the Xuan Turtle brothers, frowned and asked puzzledly.

Just as the guardians were discussing among themselves.

The energy within the room suddenly converged violently.

Inside the room.

Qin Yu, who was floating cross-legged in the air, had a trace of a smile on his face. He opened his eyes and slightly opened his mouth for a breath. The Nascent Soul, which had not been completely refined, was directly swallowed by Qin Yu.

The Star Nebula also disappeared in an instant.

Inside Qin Yu’s Dantian.

At the very center of the Dantian was a clump of Azure True Star Fire, and within the fire, a dazzling golden radiance was visible. On closer inspection, it turned out to be an incredibly small golden speck, the so-called ’Meteor.’ This point of Meteor light was constantly being burned by the True Star Fire. Around this golden speck were sparsely scattered silver stars.

Although more sparse than before, they now occupied a much larger area in the infinite space of the Dantian.

The Nascent Soul was swallowed by Qin Yu in one gulp.

With a series of crackling burning sounds, the one-third Nascent Soul was completely refined under the True Star Fire. The rapidly spinning silver stars grew somewhat bigger.

"Countless stars, forged through the power of the Primordial Solar True Fire, have finally refined a trace of golden stars. The power of this Primordial Solar True Fire is indeed tremendously vast; the remaining one-third of the Nascent Soul was completely refined in but a breath!" Qin Yu inwardly exclaimed.

Suddenly, a smirk appeared on Qin Yu’s face, "Let’s feel just how much the speed has increased." Suddenly, a golden beam shot out from the ’Meteor’ in the Dantian, instantly merging into the meridians throughout his body.

Whoosh!

Qin Yu’s entire being, like a fine golden thread, flashed and disappeared from the room, with speed more than ten times faster than before, reaching an astonishing level. Hou Fei outside blinked in disbelief; he suddenly felt Qin Yu’s presence vanish instantly from the room.

"Feifei."

Qin Yu suddenly appeared in front of Hou Fei, smiling at the greatly surprised Hou Fei.
