Stellar Transformation-Chapter 425: Episode 13 - 45 Gathering

The sleeping chamber was cold and silent, without a single maid, giving off an eerie chill. The only person in the chamber—the Peng Demon Emperor—stood with folded hands in quiet anticipation. Emperor Yu, Emperor Xuan, Ao Ku, and Liu Tu entered with confusion in their hearts, unaware of why the Peng Demon Emperor summoned them.

"Brother Feng Yu, you must also feel the pressure from the three brothers, Qin Yu and his siblings, don’t you?" The Peng Demon Emperor, with his back to the four, suddenly began to inquire.

Emperor Yu paused for a moment and replied, "Brother Zong Yan is correct. The three brothers, Qin Yu, are increasing their strength at a terrifying pace. Each day they live, my heart grows more anxious... With their rate of cultivation, even if I manage to luckily survive the Divine Tribulation and ascend to the Divine World, I fear I will still be far inferior to them."

The wife of Emperor Yu, Xuan Xi, also felt somewhat helpless. Being enemies with the three brothers alongside her husband, she now felt immense pressure, to the point that they no longer had any confidence in their ability to kill Qin Yu.

"You’re right," said the Peng Demon Emperor as he suddenly turned around, his gaze sharp as he looked at Emperor Yu, "Brother Feng Yu, if you feel this way, am I not the same? That third brother of Qin Yu, Hei Yu, is actually a Mutated Super Divine Beast, and according to my investigations, in terms of speed, Hei Yu is no less than the Golden Winged Great Peng Bird, in terms of attack techniques, he is comparable to the Ape Clan, and in terms of defense, no one in the Feiqin Clan can match him. It can be said... this kind of Mutated Divine Beast like Hei Yu has no weaknesses at all."

"That formidable?" Emperor Yu was also shocked.

"You want to kill Qin Yu and don’t pay much attention to Hei Yu, naturally, you are not familiar with him," the Peng Demon Emperor’s eyes narrowed, a cold light shining through, "In just a few hundred years, Hei Yu has reached a Sixth-level Demon Emperor. If we let him continue to develop, I estimate in ten thousand years, he will be enough to reach the Ninth-level Demon Emperor. By then, just his defense alone, I wouldn’t be able to break through."

The Peng Demon Emperor felt helpless in his heart.

The Inheritance Treasure of the Roc Clan is extremely powerful, allowing one to attain a terrifying speed. However, when it comes to attack... although its power is close to that of an Upper Grade Divine Artifact, compared to its speed, the attack is a weakness.

"Brother Feng Yu, can you remain calm and let them continue to cultivate and grow?" Peng Demon Emperor Zong Yan looked at Emperor Yu.

Emperor Yu shook his head impatiently, "I have always wanted to kill Qin Yu, but... we don’t even know where they live now, how can we kill them? There is no way!"

"No."

The Peng Demon Emperor sneered and shook his head, "Although we can’t find the three brothers Hei Yu for now, we can intensify our search efforts, that’s one approach. At the same time, we can restrict their ability to increase their attack power."

"Restrict?" Emperor Xuan voiced his confusion, "How can we restrict their growth in strength?"

The Peng Demon Emperor smiled faintly, "The fastest way to increase attack power isn’t the improvement of one’s own power, but rather obtaining a formidable weapon. If that Qin Yu gets a Divine Artifact comparable to our Roc Clan’s Inheritance Treasure, then at that time... even I would probably not be able to kill him."

Emperor Yu and Emperor Xuan’s expressions changed drastically.

Indeed.

The most powerful boost in strength comes from artifacts like Divine Artifact Battle Armors and the like.

"You have seen the strength of the Green Emperor. Initially, he acquired a treasure in the Mishen Palace, which seemed to be called the ’Nine Water Elemental Pearl.’ It was that treasure that boosted his power to today’s level and even made him stronger than me. Qin Yu possesses the Mysterious God Scroll, and now his strength exceeds the Green Emperor’s when he explored the Mishen Temple. Plus, with the Mysterious God Scroll, who knows if he will get a treasure comparable to the ’Nine Elements Water Pearl.’" The Peng Demon Emperor sneered coldly, "If he really gets it, then we might as well prepare to be captured and killed by him directly!"

Emperor Yu and Emperor Xuan looked at each other, both feeling that there was reason in what the Peng Demon Emperor said.

"Could it be... has Qin Yu already gone to the Mishen Temple?" Emperor Xuanxi’s face suddenly changed.

"Emperor Xuan, rest assured, His Majesty had anticipated this and thus dispatched seventy-two Demon Emperors from the Feiqin Clan to the Mishen Palace Entrance early on. There, they set up the ’Eight-Nine Locking Array.’ No matter how strong Qin Yu may be, he shouldn’t be thinking of entering," Ao Ku confidently stated.

"Seventy-two Demon Emperors?" Emperor Yu and Emperor Xuan gasped in astonishment.

Sending so many Emperor-level experts at once is a move probably only the three big heads of the Demon World could afford. For instance, the Emperor-level experts under the command of Green Emperor or Emperor Yu and Emperor Xuan were equivalent to roughly one third, or even one quarter, of those under Peng Demon Emperor Zong Yan.

Following that, Emperor Yu took a deep breath, smiled, and said, "Brother Zong Yan truly has far-reaching vision. With the ’Eight-Nine Locking Array’ in place, and considering that the passage into Mishen Temple is only so large, the smaller the space arranged, the stronger the defense. Even I wouldn’t be able to break through it."

"Hmph, there are two main entrances to the Mishen Palace. The entrance in our Demon World’s domain is only wide enough to allow five or six people to enter side by side. Such a small opening, yet it’s being defended by seventy-two Demon Emperors working together; the defensive strength is so immense that not just one of you, Emperor Yu, but even three of you combined would probably fail to break through," Peng Demon Emperor Zong Yan said with confidence.

Emperor Yu smiled and said nothing further.

Emperor Xuanxi smiled and said, "Brother Zong Yan, you’ve played a masterful hand. There are only two passages to Mishen Palace in total, one located on the side within the Demon World’s domain and the other within the Dark Star Realm. Those from the Immortal Realm, Demon World, and our own Demon World would not be permitted to enter from the Dark Star Realm’s passage. With the passage on this side being sealed, even with the Mysterious God Scroll, Qin Yu has no hope of entering."

Indeed, the two major passages, with the one in the Dark Star Realm’s domain, were indeed not permitted to non-Dark Star Realm individuals.

Even the former Immortal Emperor Ni Yang, who had such a good relationship with the Black Flame Lord and Bai Xuanjun, couldn’t enter through the Dark Star Realm’s passage. If he could have, he wouldn’t have been threatened by Emperor Yu and Emperor Xuan in the first place.

"It’s just that setting up this array has caused me some trouble," Peng Demon Emperor Zong Yan said with a frown.

"Yes, there is trouble," Emperor Yu also realized, "The Mishen Palace is a shared asset of the Immortal, Demon, and Beast Clans, as well as the Dragon Clan. Brother Zong Yan, by acting on your own to seal this passage, you’ll likely anger the Emperor-level experts from the Immortal World, the Demon World, and the Beast and Dragon Clans."

This was to be expected.

An immense treasure and you, Peng Demon Emperor Zong Yan, have locked up the door to that treasure preventing others from entering—could the other forces bear it?

"Therefore, I’m planning to invite the leaders from the Immortal, Demon, and Beast Worlds to my Hei Wu Star for discussions," Peng Demon Emperor Zong Yan said with a light smile.

"Oh?" Emperor Yu and Emperor Xuan were slightly surprised.

******

With one of the two major entrances to the Mishen Palace being sealed by seventy-two Demon Emperors under Peng Demon Emperor Zong Yan, the impact of this action was not too significant yet, as it had been less than a hundred years since the sealing. After all, in a hundred years, how many Emperor-level experts would need to enter? Therefore, the grievances were not significant enough. If the sealing continued for ten thousand or a million years, it’s likely all parties involved would be causing trouble for the Feiqin Clan.

Immortal Realm Moon Bay.

The Dragon Emperor and Ao Wuming were still at Moon Bay because it had only been a few months since Green Emperor’s Ascension, so they planned to wait until after his Ascension to return to the Demon World.

The Dragon Emperor, Ao Wuming, and Green Emperor were sitting together enjoying some light tea and chit-chat, when suddenly the Dragon Emperor took out a Communication Spirit Pearl, quietly conversing with someone for a while. Ao Wuming and Green Emperor looked on curiously.

"Father King, who was that?" As soon as the Dragon Emperor put away the Communication Spirit Pearl, Ao Wuming immediately asked.

"It was Zong Yan," said the Dragon Emperor, smiling.

"Peng Demon Emperor Zong Yan, why are you seeking Father? Could it be that this fellow can’t find Brother Qin Yu and wants our Dragon Clan to help hunt him down?" Ao Wuming said mockingly. Due to his relationship with Qin Yu, Ao Wuming had a strong dislike for Peng Demon Emperor Zong Yan.

"No," the Dragon Emperor said with a shake of his head and a smile, "it’s not about that, but rather about the Mishen Temple."

"Mishen Temple? I remember twenty years ago, a Demon Emperor from our Dragon Clan reported that Peng Demon Emperor dispatched seventy-two Demon Emperors to deploy the ’Eight-Nine Locking Array.’ We haven’t even gone to question him about it yet, and now he’s bringing up the Mishen Temple. Father, what did he say?" asked Ao Wuming.

"It’s all because of Brother Chi Qing," said the Dragon Emperor, glancing towards the Green Emperor.

"What does that have to do with me?" asked the Green Emperor indifferently. Now that he had successfully crossed his Tribulation, he felt at ease. As one about to ascend to the Divine World, he didn’t care much about the Immortal, Demon, and Demon Worlds anymore.

"The Peng Demon Emperor mentioned," said the Dragon Emperor, "that the strength Brother Chi Qing displayed this time has become a threat to the Three Demon Emperors of our Demon World. The source is the treasure from the Mishen Temple, so he wants the Three Demon Emperors to join forces and eliminate this hidden threat."

"Peng Demon Emperor makes some sense with this; such things shouldn’t happen again," Ao Wuming nodded and then, realizing something, he turned to the Green Emperor and said, "Green Emperor Senior..."

"No need to say more. I am a person on the verge of ascension, and the affairs of the Immortal, Demon, and Demon Worlds have nothing to do with me. I care not about your matters," said the Green Emperor with a light smile, for a person about to ascend had little to care for.

Ao Wuming looked towards the Dragon Emperor. "Father, he mentioned eliminating this hidden threat. How does he intend to do that?"

As the future Dragon Emperor, Ao Wuming also didn’t wish to see another individual who could threaten the Three Demon Emperors of the Demon World.

"Seal the entrance to the Mishen Temple. As to when to unseal it, we’ll hold the key to it ourselves. If others don’t even have the chance to enter the temple, how would they obtain powerful treasures?" The Dragon Emperor said with a faint smile. "Peng Demon Emperor’s suggestion does indeed have some merit."

Suddenly, the Green Emperor said, "Ao Fang, you can’t decide to seal the Mishen Temple solely among the three parties of the Demon World. My Immortal Realm and the Demon World must also be involved."

This statement from the Green Emperor indeed made the Dragon Emperor Ao Fang pause.

"The Immortal Realm and the Demon World allied, and the gap with your Demon World isn’t big. If it really comes to a fight... your Demon World would also have a hard time maintaining peace," said the Green Emperor with a smile.

The Dragon Emperor nodded in acknowledgement.

Indeed, if they discarded the Immortal Realm and the Demon World and only the three big heads of the Demon World joined forces to seal the temple, there would certainly be dissatisfaction, and even war might break out. The strength of the Immortal and Demon Worlds combined was not much weaker than the Demon World’s, and who could tell how powerful the reclusive experts in the Immortal and Demon Worlds were?

******

The Green Emperor’s proposal was effective. Soon, information about sealing the entrance to the Mishen Temple spread among the various leaders of the Immortal and Demon Worlds. The Blood Demon Emperor, Asura Demon Emperor, Black Demon Emperor, Emperor Yan, and other leaders all headed to the Hei Wu Star of the Feiqin Clan, while the Dragon Emperor and others were still in Crescent Bay.

This gathering was scheduled for about a month after the Green Emperor’s ascension.

Crescent Bay.

A large crowd had gathered on the shores of Crescent Bay to see off the Green Emperor, for he was about to ascend!

Also present at Crescent Bay was Grandma Yin Hua, who mysteriously left before the Divine Tribulations, along with the Dragon Emperor, Emperor Ni, Emperor Liu, and a whole host of others. Emperor Liu was the new leader of the Green Emperor’s forces after his abdication.

"Big Brother," said Emperor Liu, looking at the Green Emperor with eyes full of reluctance.

The Green Emperor smiled and said, "Second Brother, I leave everything in your care after my ascension to the Divine World... Heh, actually, you’ve been helping me manage my realm for millions of years."

Emperor Liu nodded.

"Cultivate well, I’ll be waiting for you in the Divine World," said the Green Emperor with a smile, then turned to Emperor Ni, the Dragon Emperor, and others, "Sister Ni Xue, Ao Fang, you two are also Ninth-level Demon Emperors now. Hurry up and cross your Divine Tribulations, I’ll be waiting for our reunion."

The Dragon Emperor and Emperor Ni both smiled.

They were very close friends with the Green Emperor, as well as with the Golden Punishment Monarch from the Dark Star Realm. With the Golden Punishment Monarch already ascended and now the Green Emperor, Emperor Ni, and the Dragon Emperor who were also Ninth-level Demon Emperors, were close to their time.

The day for the four of them to meet again in the Divine World was not far off.

"Sister Yin Hua," the Green Emperor said to Grandma Yin Hua, his expression strange as if he were making a face, "When will you ascend so we can meet in the Divine World?"

Grandma Yin Hua smiled, "You rascal, our meeting day in the Divine World is soon. You slick one, make sure to cultivate properly in the Divine World. Don’t blame me for chastising you if your cultivation falls short."

"Alright, alright," said the Green Emperor with a laugh, then looked towards his wife, the woman who had been by his side for nearly a hundred million years. The final period before ascension was for this husband and wife to be together.

After a long time...

"My lady, it’s time," the Green Emperor said softly, then slowly released his wife from his embrace.

The Green Emperor’s wife nodded lightly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, see you in the Divine World," said the Green Emperor as his figure uncontrollably rose towards the sky, radiating a hazy light. As the light vanished, so did the figure of the Green Emperor.

The Dragon Emperor, Emperor Ni, and the rest gazed skyward.

"Nameless, you too will have a day of ascension to the Divine World. Stop standing there lost in thought; we still have important matters to attend to," the Dragon Emperor said to Ao Wuming. At that moment, Emperor Liu also said, "Brother Ao Fang, I shall depart with you."

The Dragon Emperor and others were off to the Hei Wu Star to participate in the gathering of the leaders from the Immortal, Demon, and Demon Worlds. This meeting was for the purpose of sealing the Mishen Temple. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Meanwhile, Qin Yu, the source of all this, was still cultivating in the Jiang Lan Realm...
