Stellar Transformation-Chapter 426: Episode 13 - 46 Star Transformation Realm 9
Within a palace in the Imperial City of Hei Wu Star.
Leaders and important subordinates from the Immortal Realm, Demon World, and Demon Realm gathered here, totaling more than twenty individuals. However, some of those present were merely onlookers and couldn’t play any significant role.
The real decision-makers were only five parties: the Dragon Emperor, the Peng Demon Emperor, the Bull Demon Emperor, and representatives from the Immortal and Demon Worlds.
Together, individuals such as Emperor Yan, Emperor Liu, and Emperor Yu of the Immortal Realm, and the Blood Demon Emperor, Asura Demon Emperor, and the Black Demon Emperor, along with two reclusive experts of the Demon World, represented their respective realms.
About twenty people sat in the palace, neatly divided into five factions. The Peng Demon Emperor’s side had three people seated — the Peng Demon Emperor, Ao Ku, and Liu Tu.
"My lords,"
As the proposer of the matter at hand, Peng Demon Emperor Zong Yan was the first to stand up, still clad from head to toe in gold, with an indifferent expression on his face.
"All of you are leaders from the Immortal, Demon, and Monster Realms, and I believe none of you would want unstable elements within your territories. This instability stems from the Mishen Temple. Brother Chi Qing has just ascended, but you all know the extent of Brother Chi Qing’s power... Imagine the consequences if your enemies or subordinates obtained treasures like Brother Chi Qing one day," said the Peng Demon Emperor indifferently.
A black-robed elder from the Demon World spoke calmly, "Brother Zong Yan, please get straight to the point."
"You’re right, Brother Moluo," the Peng Demon Emperor said with a slight nod.
Ever since the Green Emperor underwent Tribulation Crossing and invited forces from all around to Fengluan Star, the Blood Demon Emperor and others discovered the existence of two such impressive experts in the Demon World promptly befriended them, and invited these two mighty experts to help the Demon World stand guard this time.
These two were Moluo and Mo Kong, both Ninth-level Demon Emperor experts. As for their true strength, it remained unclear without a fight.
"Let’s get right to the point. I’ve invited you all here in hopes that you will agree to seal the entrance to the Mishen Temple," Peng Demon Emperor Zong Yan stated his intentions aloud.
"Seal the entrance to the Mishen Temple?" A voice rang out. A handsome, golden-clothed youth spoke. He was as dazzling as the sun, his gaze commanding an air of authority, "Brother Zong Yan should know that there are two major entrances to the Mishen Temple. How shall we seal the one in the Dark Star Realm?"
The Peng Demon Emperor said indifferently, "We just need to seal the entrance located in the Monster Realm. I don’t believe... that anyone from the Immortal, Demon, or Monster Realm could enter the Mishen Temple through the entrance in the Dark Star Realm."
Everyone fell silent.
The hostility of the Dark Star Realm towards the Immortal Realm, Demon World, and Monster Realm was no secret to these leaders. Anyone from these realms entering the Dark Star Realm was lucky just to avoid being attacked and killed, let alone being allowed to reach the entrance to the Mishen Temple.
"Please speak up. Do you agree with this? I’ll say first, my Feiqin Clan agrees," the Peng Demon Emperor declared straightforwardly.
"My Beast Clan agrees," said the Bull Demon Emperor, nodding.
"The Dragon Clan, agrees," the Dragon Emperor added his opinion.
With three out of five factions in agreement, the Immortal Emperors from the Immortal Realm were still discussing among themselves, while Moluo and Mo Kong were in no hurry as they awaited the outcome of discussions between the Blood Demon Emperor, Asura Demon Emperor, and the Black Demon Emperor. Moluo and Mo Kong had come because the three Blood Demon Emperors had agreed to a request of theirs, otherwise, they wouldn’t have come.
After discussing for a moment, Emperor Yan, Emperor Yu, and Emperor Liu, Emperor Liu, speaking on behalf of the Immortal Realm said, "The Immortal Realm agrees to this proposal. However, after sealing the Mishen Temple, we need to discuss further how long until we open it next, and how many people should be allowed to enter each time."
"Of course," the Peng Demon Emperor said with a hint of a smile on his face.
Moluo, having received a transmission from the Asura Demon Emperor, nodded and concluded, "The Demon World agrees as well, but we share the same thoughts as the Immortal Realm regarding when to open the temple and how many representatives from each party should be allowed to enter. This also requires further discussion."
The Peng Demon Emperor, Dragon Emperor, and Great Ape Emperor, deep down, actually wanted to keep Mishen Palace closed forever.
If it remained closed, their advantage would be one that no other forces could ever catch up with.
However, the Dragon Emperor and the others understood that it was impossible to keep the Mishen Palace closed forever. For one, the Immortal Realm and Demon World would oppose it, and for another, within the Demon World itself, other Super Divine Beasts such as the Phoenix, Seven-colored Peacock, Purple-eyed Bull Demon King, and the Fire Qilin would also oppose it. Additionally, other tribes within the Demon World would oppose it as well, as they wouldn’t give up the opportunity to grow stronger.
"Good, since everyone has agreed to this matter, the closure of Mishen Palace is settled. Now let’s talk about how often it should be opened, and how many people are allowed in each time," said the Peng Demon Emperor indifferently.
Subsequently, various forces began to discuss.
According to the Peng Demon Emperor and Dragon Emperor’s view, the longer it remained closed, the better, and the fewer the people allowed in, the better. However, the Immortal Realm, Demon World, and even the Bull Demon Emperor didn’t quite agree with this point.
...
A full three days.
Through various means, the five parties finally settled on a plan that all could reluctantly accept.
"All right, since everyone agrees, starting today, our five forces will stick to this plan. If any one of us violates it, the other four will join forces to eliminate the violator," the Peng Demon Emperor said coldly.
The Dragon Emperor and the others nodded.
This agreement set by the leaders of the five parties, an agreement that would even continue for countless years, was thus established.
The contents of the plan: Seal the entrance of Mishen Palace in the Demon World, normally not allowing anyone to enter. Every ten thousand years, the entrance of Mishen Palace will be opened once, and upon opening, each of the five sides will have one entry quota.
The Immortal Realm and Demon World, with their chaotic forces and not just a single power, will decide who gets the quota by discussing it among the several major forces within the Immortal Realm and Demon World. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
One opening every ten thousand years, with only one quota for each of the five sides. It may seem too few, but it was the result of hard negotiations by the Immortal Realm and Demon World.
Initially, the Peng Demon Emperor had suggested opening it once every ten million years!
The original proposal by the Peng Demon Emperor was shocking; it was clear that he didn’t want the Immortal Realm and Demon World to gain any treasures. After continuous negotiations, the time period was reduced, finally landing on one opening every ten thousand years.
Indeed, the Peng Demon Emperor knew that the time frame he initially proposed was unlikely to be agreed upon, but he understood that the longer the time he suggested, the greater the room for negotiation.
******
"One opening every ten thousand years, and each of our five forces can only send one person into Mishen Palace. This matter has been settled, now let’s talk about how to seal the entrance to Mishen Palace," said the Peng Demon Emperor.
The Dragon Emperor smiled and said, "Isn’t the Eight-Nine Locking Array very good? I don’t think anyone can break through it."
"Right, let your seventy-two Demon Emperors continue to guard it," the Bull Demon Emperor chimed in with a laugh.
The Peng Demon Emperor frowned slightly; having his seventy-two Demon Emperors waste their time staying there? The other four parties were taking their calculations a bit too far.
Suddenly, the Peng Demon Emperor smiled and said, "These seventy-two Demon Emperors are setting up the ’Eight-Nine Locking Array,’ but where should they themselves stay? If they stay outside the entrance, I fear some might kill those who set the array. Once the array setters die, the ’Eight-Nine Locking Array’ would naturally be broken. So the seventy-two Demon Emperors must stay inside the entrance."
"You make a good point, staying outside the entrance is indeed unsafe," Emperor Yu nodded in agreement.
"Since you all insist on having my people guard the Mishen Temple Entrance continuously, I have no objections, just let them keep standing guard," Peng Demon Emperor suddenly said with a smile.
Dragon Emperor, Bull Demon Emperor, Blood Demon Emperor, Black Demon Emperor, and a group of others all had a realization.
Staying within the entrance meant they could enter Mishen Palace at any time to collect Divine Artifacts. If they allowed seventy-two Demon Emperors from the Feiqin Clan to stay there continually, who knows how many Divine Artifacts those Demon Emperors would obtain.
"This won’t do," Bull Demon Emperor said with a smile, "Firstly, we can’t allow you to suffer such a loss, and secondly, it would be too easy to steal while on watch."
"Right," Dragon Emperor nodded, "So, let’s have each of the five factions send out some Emperor-level experts to set up the Eight-Nine Locking Array together. This way, the Emperor-level experts from the five factions can supervise each other, preventing any theft by the watchers."
Blood Demon Emperor sneered, "That may be easier said than done. They might conspire with each other and steal nonetheless, so we must strictly order that anyone who seeks Divine Artifacts inside the Mishen Palace during the guarding period will be pursued and killed jointly by the Three Realms."
"Agreed," Peng Demon Emperor nodded as well.
Following this, the proposal was also agreed upon by all parties.
"Eh, the Emperor-level experts we dispatch have different types of energy? There’s Immortal Essence Power, Demon Essence Power, and Demon Essence Power, mixed together, could this not cause a backlash leading to the collapse of the Formation?" Emperor Liu wondered aloud.
Peng Demon Emperor smiled and said, "Brother Liu does not understand the ’Eight-Nine Locking Array’, the truth is that the more diverse and mixed the energies of those forming the array are, the greater the power of the Eight-Nine Locking Array will be."
"Oh, is it that unusual?" Black Demon Emperor from the Demon World was also surprised.
"That’s exactly it, you’ll know once we try it," Peng Demon Emperor said confidently. This Eight-Nine Locking Array was after all a grand Formation from the Feiqin Clan, which he was naturally very familiar with.
Peng Demon Emperor then said, "Now, let’s discuss how many experts each of our five factions will send out. This number ’seventy-two’ is a bit difficult to divide."
...
After some negotiation.
In the end, an agreement was reached by all five factions: the Feiqin Clan, Dragon Clan, and Beast Clan would each send fourteen Demon Emperors, while the Immortal Realm and Demon World would each send out fifteen Emperor-level experts, making a total of seventy-two Emperor-level experts.
After all, once the Immortal Realm and Demon World joined forces, they were rather stronger than any single Dragon Clan or Feiqin Clan.
******
The seal lasts for ten thousand years, it opens once, and the opening time is one year. If not out within a year, those inside would be jointly executed by the five factions.
During this year, which was just agreed upon by the three realms of Immortal, Demon, and Beast, each faction sent a person to first enter the outer domain of the Mishen Palace to search around, and the next time it would open would be ten thousand years later.
...
One year later.
The five fortunate ones who entered the outer domain of the Mishen Palace all emerged. They were: Ao Ku of the Feiqin Clan, Ao Lan of the Dragon Clan, Bull Demon Emperor himself from the Beast Clan, Moluo from the Demon World, and Emperor Liu from the Immortal Realm.
The five were almost equal in strength.
On a planet closest to the outer domain of the Mishen Palace.
At this moment, Peng Demon Emperor, Dragon Emperor, and others were here.
"This outer domain of the Mishen Palace is indeed extremely mysterious, we must come out within a year. I could only search as much as I could within my means, one year... I’m fairly lucky, just this one Low Grade Divine Artifact," said Bull Demon Emperor nonchalantly.
Dragon Emperor chuckled, "You did well, among the five who went in, you were the only one to get a Divine Artifact, the others got nothing."
Divine Artifacts are hard to come by.
In the past, when Mishen Palace was not sealed, many Emperor-level experts came to try their luck; however, in the outer domain of the Mishen Palace, trying to luck out within one’s abilities, maybe one in a hundred Emperor-level experts could obtain a Divine Artifact.
******
After the event of sealing the Mishen Palace in the worlds of Immortals, Demons, and Beasts had concluded, everything returned to the usual tranquility, with occasionally a new figure emerging. However, none could compare with Qin Yu and his two brothers.
Within just a few hundred years, Qin Yu and Hou Fei had reached strength comparable to a Ninth-level Immortal Emperor, and Hei Yu was close to an Eighth-level Immortal Emperor.
Qin Yu and his two brothers were even mentioned in the same breath as the three Hidden Emperors, counting as pinnacle figures of the Immortal, Demon, and Beast worlds. However, such miraculous events are hard to repeat a second time.
Within the Jiang Lan Realm.
Qin Yu and his two brothers were together, with Qin Yu himself watching from the side, while Hou Fei and Hei Yu were sparring with each other.
"Boom!" A sweep of the spear seemed to pierce through space and suddenly appeared before Hou Fei, smashing to the ground the startled Feifei, cracking the earth.
Qin Yu clapped and laughed, "Well done, Feifei, karma, right? How often you used to bully Little Black."
"That freak, Mixed Feathered Bird," Hou Fei grumbled as he stood up, "To spar with me and actually learn my Spear Technique, with just a little refinement, using it like a Spear Technique."
The gap between spear and staff isn’t huge. Spear Technique moves can be used with a staff.
"That’s not quite right, Little Black winning against you isn’t due solely to Spear Technique or staff skills. It’s mainly because he’s faster than you, his movement technique is more agile. And furthermore... his body’s defense is stronger than yours, he doesn’t need to care as much about the body’s defense like you do. He only needs to attack without defense, naturally you would lose," Qin Yu said with a smile.
Hou Fei snorted and ceased talking.
Meanwhile, Hei Yu still stood coolly, holding the Cloud Piercing Spear in one hand, and said coldly, "Monkey, you’ve bullied me for hundreds of years, today I’ve only hit you with one spear, the debt is far from settled."
Hou Fei’s expression froze on his face.
Qin Yu immediately laughed, finding his two brothers truly amusing.
"Hm?" Qin Yu’s face suddenly showed excitement, "Hundreds of years, after experiencing hundreds of years, my body has finally absorbed enough ’glue’ energy to step into the Ninth Realm of ’Star Transformation’."
(End of Chapter Two! My apologies, Fang Qie has tried to omit as much of the content about the deliberations among the five factions of the Immortal, Demon, and Beast worlds as possible. It should be obvious, and we still just managed to mention the Ninth Realm at the end. Yes, there is still Chapter Three today.)
