Stellar Transformation-Chapter 403: Episode 13 - 23 Hei Wu Star

Go out?

Qin Yu and Hou Fei both were slightly startled; a thousand years of peaceful life had made them accustomed to tranquility, and suddenly mentioning going out shook their hearts for a moment.

"Big Brother, Second Brother." Bai Ling’s face was also full of apology, "Brother Yu and I have been worrying about my sister for so many years. I think with our current strength, as long as we don’t encounter the Peng Demon Emperor, we shouldn’t be in any danger. And even if we do encounter the Peng Demon Emperor, we can still rely on the Jiang Lan Realm to save our lives."

Hei Yu also looked at Qin Yu and Hou Fei.

"Big Brother, you make the decision." Hou Fei looked to Qin Yu, handing over the decision-making power to him.

Qin Yu pondered for a moment in his heart.

"Feifei is now a Sixth-Level Demon Emperor, yet as a Super Divine Beast, he is comparable to a Seventh Level Demon Emperor. If we add his strongest spear technique, even a general Eighth Level Demon Emperor wouldn’t have an advantage over him." Qin Yu assessed in his mind, "Little Black is a Fifth Level Demon Emperor, a Mutated Super Divine Beast with perfect defense, attack, and movement technique, etc., and should be on par with a Seventh Level Demon Emperor. As for me... my Nine-Transformation Dark Gold Body has reached the Sixth Layer, and coupled with Life Essence Power, I should be able to match a general Eighth Level Demon Emperor."

Hou Fei, Hei Yu, and Bai Ling all looked at Qin Yu, waiting for his decision, for among the three brothers, Qin Yu was after all the eldest.

"Alright, let’s go out." Qin Yu had a faint smile on his face.

"Haha, good, it’s been so long since we’ve been out, going out for a stroll is truly exhilarating." Hou Fei was the first to celebrate.

Hei Yu and Bai Ling also looked gratefully at Qin Yu, knowing that... Qin Yu didn’t long for the outside world as much; according to his own wishes, he should have continued with harsh cultivation in the Jiang Lan Realm, and aimed to advance to the opening of the third layer all at once.

"Big Brother, thank you," Hei Yu said solemnly.

"Hehe, actually, I also want to go out for a stroll," Qin Yu said with a light smile.

Hei Yu did not say much, remembering it in his heart was enough. At this moment, Bai Ling suddenly remembered something, "Big Brother, I remember you said you wanted to open the third layer of the Jiang Lan Realm. With your current strength, which is much higher than a thousand years ago, can you open the second layer now?"

"The Nine-Transformation Dark Gold Body is mainly for Body Refining. Although there is also the ’Nine Transmutations Force’ refined to the Sixth Layer within my body, its power isn’t strong and is only about equivalent to a Fifth Level Demon Emperor. Relying on that to open the Jiang Lan Realm..." Qin Yu said with a smile as he shook his head, while his right hand was raised, with continual blue Finger Beams emerging from the tips of his fingers.

Compared to his own body, this Nine Transmutations Force indeed wasn’t very powerful. However, it’s still much stronger than the Black Hole Power, which had not improved at all.

"The Black Hole Realm..." Qin Yu sighed inwardly; the Star Transformation Technique was a knot in Qin Yu’s heart. He didn’t know when he would be able to create the next realm. Speaking of the Soul Realm, Qin Yu hadn’t specifically cultivated his soul for a thousand years. However, the Meteor Tear forcibly elevated Qin Yu’s soul to the Heavenly Soul Third Layer.

Of course, he had just stepped into the Heavenly Soul Third Layer and would need quite some time to consolidate it completely.

"With the current Nine Transmutations Force, I can’t open the second layer of the Jiang Lan Realm," Qin Yu said helplessly, "the first layer itself already requires the strength of a Golden Immortal at the Fifth or Sixth Level. As for the second layer, I really don’t know what realm one needs to reach to open it."

Hou Fei, Hei Yu, and Bai Ling were all shocked.

With Qin Yu’s current strength already so formidable, yet unable to open even the second layer of the Jiang Lan Realm, what level of strength would be needed to open the third layer? At least from their estimation, it’s probably after ascension to the Divine World.

"Big Brother, could Uncle Lan be from the Divine World?" Hou Fei suddenly whispered quietly.

Hei Yu and Bai Ling looked at Qin Yu as well, with Hei Yu speaking up, "Big Brother, back then Uncle Lan took me and the monkey to a mysterious place to cultivate. One year outside was actually a hundred years in there. This time ratio is just like the second layer of the Jiang Lan Realm. Such divine skills are beyond the capabilities of anyone in the realms of immortals, demons, and beasts; even the Dragon Emperor and the Great Ape Emperor can’t do this."

"It’s not just the things that Mixed Feathered Bird mentioned, there’s also my Black Stick and the Mixed Feathered Bird’s Cloud Piercing Spear. These weapons are indeed strange, we were able to use them back in the Mortal World without noticing anything remarkable, but now... with our current strength, we can still use them, and the Black Stick and Cloud Piercing Spear are still incomparably sturdy. I haven’t found anything that can surpass their hardness to this day," said Hou Fei, frowning.

Hei Yu nodded, "Also, holding the Cloud Piercing Spear, I seem to be able to sense the universe more easily. My rapid progress is not just due to my natural talent and Inheritance Memory. The Cloud Piercing Spear bestowed by Uncle Lan also plays a significant role. I haven’t heard of such a treasure before."

At the beginning in the Mortal World, Hou Fei, Hei Yu, and the others just thought that Uncle Lan was a formidable Independent Immortal.

When Hou Fei and Hei Yu reached the Great Success Stage, they believed that Uncle Lan was a super expert from the Immortal Realm.

However, they were now Emperor-level experts from the Immortal Realm and, upon rethinking it all, Uncle Lan seemed even more terrifying.

The more they increased their power, the more they realized the unfathomable depth of Uncle Lan.

"Right, what you’re saying is something I’ve thought about too, for instance, how Uncle Lan’s clone could remain in the Ni Yang Realm without even the slightest disparity compared to Wu Lan. And the Jiang Lan Realm... I even suspect that the Jiang Lan Realm should surpass the category of divine artifacts," Qin Yu said with a faint smile.

Every time he was in the Jiang Lan Realm, feeling as if everything was under control and he was omnipotent, Qin Yu felt an even greater sense of Uncle Lan’s unfathomable nature who had refined the realm.

"The third layer of the Jiang Lan Realm, according to reasoning, if I want to open the third layer, I’m afraid I would already be in the Divine World. You’re right, Uncle Lan and Li’er are very likely from the Divine World," Qin Yu said with a calm demeanor, as he had already anticipated all this in his heart.

The road ahead was long, and yet he must walk on it steadfastly to the very end. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Hei Yu, Hou Fei, and Bai Ling simply drew a sharp breath and said no more.

"Alright, everyone prepare a bit, tomorrow we will set off for the core planet of the Feiqin Clan—the Hei Wu Star," Qin Yu stood up and announced.

******

Hei Wu Star, the core planet of the Demon World’s Feiqin Clan.

There are two cities on Hei Wu Star, namely Hei Wu City and the Imperial City. In terms of land area, Hei Wu City is dozens of times larger than the Imperial City. It is home to numerous experts from the Feiqin Clan as well as forces stationed from other realms, and anyone can enter this place.

The Imperial City is different. Only those like the Imperial City Guards, maids, and others, as well as Super Divine Beasts, Upper Level Divine Beasts, and Emperor-level experts along with their families are allowed to reside there.

Of course, those invited by the Imperial City can also enter.

Inside the Imperial City.

The deepest part of the Imperial City is the Imperial Palace, the residence of successive Peng Demon Emperors. By the order of this generation’s Peng Demon Emperor, the entire Imperial Palace underwent a renovation, with its original golden exterior transforming into a deep purple, nearly identical to black.

Under the Peng Demon Emperor, there are the three mightiest Demon Emperors, all having reached Eighth Level Demon Emperor, and are also Upper Level Divine Beasts. One of them is even an extremely formidable Mutated Upper Level Divine Beast. Mutated Super Divine Beasts are exceptionally rare, while Mutated Upper Level Divine Beasts are few in the entire Demon World; although scarce, there are still six or seven of them.

Clad in unadorned white robes, a peerlessly beautiful woman quietly leaned against the bed.

This person was none other than the only female among the three top experts under the Peng Demon Emperor – the Eighth Level Demon Emperor Bai Feng! She was also the intelligence strategist of the Peng Demon Emperor’s subordinates, with the majority of orders being given based on Bai Feng’s judgments, except for major matters which would require the Peng Demon Emperor’s oversight.

The nearly transparent curtains fluttered, revealing the beauty within, dressed in white and alluring. Outside the curtain stood a young man in black, displaying utmost respect.

"My lord," the young man in black said without daring to lift his head.

Bai Feng’s eyebrows rose slightly as she spoke indifferently, "Have you found Xiao Hei?"

The young man in black respectfully answered, "My lord, ever since Xiao Hei’s whereabouts were last detected on Bimu Star a hundred years ago, he has disappeared without a trace. No matter how we’ve searched, we have found no sign of him."

"Did you check the identities of those at the Emperor level?" Bai Feng pressed.

"Yes, all of the Emperor-level experts we’ve found have traceable backgrounds," the young man in black replied respectfully.

A hint of anger laced Bai Feng’s voice, "After all these years, not even a trace of Xiao Hei has been found. You must be aware that his capture is a direct order from His Majesty, who places great importance on this matter. After one hundred years of fruitless searching, His Majesty’s patience has reached its limit. You should know the consequences once His Majesty’s wrath is incited!"

The young man in black trembled, a flash of terror in his eyes.

The Peng Demon Emperor, to whom killing was as mundane as drinking water.

His cruelty instilled fear even in his three top experts, let alone in this young man in black and the others under his command.

"Enough, get lost," Bai Feng said, barely concealing her anger, her usually composed demeanor slipping into vulgarity.

"Yes," the young man in black hurried away.

Once the young man in black had left, Bai Feng rose from the bed and lifted the curtains, revealing her astonishing beauty. Her elegant brows furrowed slightly as she murmured, "Where exactly has Hei Yu hidden himself? Ah, is His Majesty perhaps too fixated on this? Even if Hei Yu is extremely gifted and perfect, how could he possibly be a match for His Majesty who possesses the Inheritance Treasure?"

Only a few confidants of the Peng Demon Emperor truly knew Hei Yu’s identity; the rest pursuing him still believed him to be Xiao Hei.

******

Hei Wu Star, Hei Wu City.

Qin Yu, Hou Fei, and Hei Yu, the three brothers, had slightly altered their appearances and even the colors of their clothes. After ensuring Bai Ling and Hei Tong were safe within the Jiang Lan Realm, Qin Yu and his brothers left and rushed straight to Hei Wu City.

"This Hei Wu City really is quite large; it’s much bigger than the city on the little planet where I was hiding," Hei Yu remarked as he looked around.

"After all, this Hei Wu City is the core city of the Feiqin Clan’s core planet; how could it be anything less?" Qin Yu said with a light smile.

A voice suddenly sounded in Qin Yu’s mind, "Big Brother, we have arrived at Hei Wu City, but how do we get into the Imperial City?" Hou Fei telepathically communicated, prompting a look from Qin Yu toward his brother. After a moment’s thought, he transmitted back, "I’ll have someone test the waters first and see if there’s a way to enter the Imperial City."

Prefering not to force his way in, Qin Yu summoned Ming Zheng, the weakest of the Demon Emperors from the third layer of the Ten Thousand Beasts List within the Jiang Lan Realm, with just a thought.

Upon seeing Qin Yu, Ming Zheng slightly bowed and communicated telepathically, "Greetings, Master."

Qin Yu nodded in approval, pleased that Ming Zheng had remained silent in the street, and then ordered, "Ming Zheng, this is Hei Wu City at the heart of the Feiqin Clan’s core planet Hei Wu Star. Go to the Imperial City for me and see if there is any way to get in. If it’s not possible, just come back, and don’t alert them to your presence."

"Yes," Ming Zheng bowed and immediately turned into a beam of light that shot into the sky.

Qin Yu smiled faintly at Hou Fei and Hei Yu, "Let’s go find a place to stay." Rescuing Bai Ling’s sister, Bai Xin, was not an easy task; they couldn’t just storm the Imperial City. That would likely lead to being besieged and killed.

"No rush. First, let’s find a restaurant and have a big feast; it’s been a thousand years since we’ve enjoyed such delicacies," Hou Fei’s eyes gleamed.

While the Jiang Lan Realm had some fish to offer, when it came to culinary skills, how could Qin Yu and his companions compare to the chefs in the restaurants? The three brothers then headed straight to a lavish restaurant nearby, ordered dozens of dishes, and began to eat and drink to their hearts’ content.

After they had eaten their fill, the three found a place to stay and settled down comfortably.

"Big Brother, why hasn’t your subordinate returned yet?" Hou Fei asked, slightly anxious.

Qin Yu, however, could sense Ming Zheng’s current location, "Don’t worry, Ming Zheng is already on his way back." Soon after, a streak of light shot from the sky directly into the courtyard of the residence where the three brothers were staying.

The three brothers stepped out of the hall to see Ming Zheng kneeling on one knee in the courtyard.

"Ming Zheng, what is the result?" Qin Yu inquired.

Ming Zheng answered respectfully, "The rules set by the Peng Demon Emperor are strict. Outsiders are completely barred from entering the Imperial City. Even Feiqin Clan’s Emperor-level experts must undergo scrutiny at the Imperial Palace before they have the right to possess an Imperial City Token which allows entry and exit. I did not find any way to enter."

Qin Yu’s brow furrowed.

The situation seemed quite troublesome.

"Return to rest for now," Qin Yu said, sending Ming Zheng back into the Jiang Lan Realm. He then began pondering with his head bowed. If Bai Ling’s sister, Bai Xin, was without mishap, she should be residing in Zong Jue’s place within the Imperial City. However, none of the three were able to communicate with Zong Jue.

Hou Fei and Hei Yu were also deep in thought.

"Instantaneous Movement won’t work, and infiltration is even more difficult. What should we do?" Hou Fei muttered to himself.

Qin Yu, who had been thinking, suddenly showed a hint of joy on his face and turned to his two brothers, "Feifei, Little Black, I have thought of a way!"
