Stellar Transformation-Chapter 439 - 14 episodes, 12 - s, Identity Verification
Qin Yu, seeing the expression on Liu Tong’s face, merely smiled and nodded, "Yes, Elder Liu Tong, please grant me an Identity Star Diamond."
"No, it’s no trouble at all," said Elder Liu Tong, waving his hand.
Liu Tong could already imagine, that when Qin Yu became famous in the future, people talking about ’Lord Liu Xing’ would mention: Lord Liu Xing, from Sangyuan Star. As an elder of Sangyuan Star, this would certainly add to his prestige.
He had also heard from many good friends, other planet’s elders had once hosted some Interstellar Ascetics and granted them Identity Star Diamonds. He never thought he would have such a good opportunity himself.
"Lord Liu Xing, please wait a moment," said Liu Tong as he took out a triangular crystal pillar.
"What is this for?" Qin Yu asked doubtfully, looking at the triangular crystal pillar, feeling a special aura emanating from it.
Elder Liu Tong explained nonchalantly, "Lord Liu Xing, since it’s your first time being granted an Identity Star Diamond, you might not be familiar with the procedure. This is mandated by Holy Star...therefore, before being granted an Identity Star Diamond, one must undergo a test with this crystal pillar."
"A test? A test for what?" Qin Yu had a bad feeling in his heart.
Would this mysterious crystal pillar reveal his identity?
Liu Tong said with a smile, "Lord Liu Xing, don’t worry, this triangular crystal pillar is used to verify the strength and energy level of an individual, and can determine whether you are at the King Level or Emperor Level! It also checks for energy attributes. Remember, a thousand millennia ago, it even detected a Demon World individual trying to sneak into the Dark Star Realm."
"Oh, a thousand millennia ago a Demon World individual was detected? What was that Demon World individual doing in the Dark Star Realm?" Qin Yu inquired.
Elder Liu Tong said nonchalantly, "I heard that individual from the Demon World was a cultivator of the Black Demon Demon Path, which, although different, is similar to Body Refining. That Demon World expert wanted to enter our ’Eighteen Emperor-level Dark Stars’ for a trial, but to get into the Eighteen Emperor-level Dark Stars, one must possess an Identity Star Diamond. So, that Demon World expert tried to obtain an Identity Star Diamond and was detected by this triangular crystal pillar."
"Is this crystal pillar that powerful?" Qin Yu exclaimed, becoming cautious in his heart.
Qin Yu was confident about himself, after all, his energy was all in the Star Space, and just in case, he had once again cultivated the Golden Punishment Sect Technique, producing a unique ’Power of Gold’ in his body.
But... who knows by what principle this crystal pillar conducts its investigation.
It might even detect specific characteristics unique to the people of the Dark Star Realm, Qin Yu was somewhat worried, not knowing the principle by which this crystal pillar conducted its tests.
But at this stage, Qin Yu could only brace himself and go forward.
"Lord Liu Xing, it will only take a moment, this crystal pillar will soon verify Lord Liu Xing’s school and the realm of his cultivation," said Elder Liu Tong as he channeled the Power of Gold into the triangular crystal pillar, which then began to emit a faint, mystic glow.
Suddenly...
A mystic light enveloped Qin Yu’s body, and the triangular crystal pillar gradually brightened.
"This feels quite comfortable," Although somewhat uneasy, Qin Yu still felt a comfort akin to a massage and asked aloud, "Elder Liu Tong, do you know how this crystal pillar tests a person?"
"Not sure, this triangular crystal pillar was sent to each Elder Hall by Holy Star, and it’s unknown how many years it has been passed down. But it has never had any issues," Liu Tong stated confidently.
It’s never had a problem!
Qin Yu felt a sudden tightness in his heart upon hearing this statement.
"If it is discovered, it seems I’ll have to resort to the last method." Qin Yu didn’t want to use that last method either, as it was not only ruthless but also unsafe.
After a good while.
"Lord Liu Xing, it’s ready," Elder Liu Tong said, holding the triangular crystal pillar. After inspecting it, he looked at Qin Yu with an expression that said ’I’ve seen a ghost.’
Noticing Elder Liu Tong’s expression, Qin Yu felt uneasy but still asked, "Elder Liu Tong, what’s the matter?"
Elder Liu Tong swallowed hard, staring at Qin Yu and said, "My lord, how many stars does an Emperor-level Expert have?"
"Why do you ask?" Qin Yu said with a smile.
Elder Liu Tong gazed at Qin Yu with a somewhat fervent look: "Lord Liu Xing, to be granted the Identity Star Diamond not only signifies one’s identity but also the recognition from the Elder Hall. One must reach the high-level King-level to be eligible for the Identity Star Diamond. This crystal pillar is used to verify the identity and strength of the recipient."
"What strength do I have?" Qin Yu asked with a smile.
Elder Liu Tong held the crystal pillar in his hand: "Lord Liu Xing, this crystal pillar is quite crude in measuring strength. King-level divides into: basic, intermediate, and high-level. ’Basic’ ranges from one-star to six-star King-level. ’Intermediate’ ranges from seven-star to twelve-star King-level, and ’high-level’ ranges from thirteen-star to eighteen-star. Emperor-level is also divided into basic, intermediate, and high-level! And you, my lord..."
Elder Liu Tong stared intently at Qin Yu: "are at the high-level Emperor!
"If it’s high-level Emperor, what is there to be surprised about?" Qin Yu said lightly.
Elder Liu Tong said in disbelief: "Lord Liu Xing, are you unaware that ever since the previous Golden Punishment Monarch ascended, our Dark Star Realm has not seen an Emperor-level Expert of fifteen stars appear for a long time?"
"Fifteen-star Emperor-level, what do you mean by that?" Qin Yu asked, puzzled.
Elder Liu Tong suddenly remembered that Qin Yu was an ’Interstellar Ascetic’ and immediately explained, "In our Dark Star Realm, we have three great sovereigns. To be a candidate for monarch, one must at least reach the fifteen-star Emperor-level. However, for some reason... for all these years, our Golden Punishment Sect has not had a fifteen-star Emperor-level Expert. Therefore, the position of Golden Punishment Monarch has been left vacant."
Qin Yu nodded slightly.
The fifteen-star Emperor-level was equivalent to the strength of an Eighth Level Immortal Emperor (Demon Emperor).
Qin Yu found it hard to believe that such a vast Dark Star Realm did not have even one fifteen-star Emperor-level Expert of the Golden Punishment Sect.
"Elder Liu Tong, there are no fifteen-star Emperor-level Experts? I find that hard to believe," Qin Yu said, shaking his head.
Elder Liu Tong also appeared helpless, nodding and saying, "I don’t understand it either. Back when I was on the Holy Star, I learned from my teacher that in our linage of the Golden Punishment Sect, aside from His Majesty, the Golden Punishment Monarch, there were two other great Experts, one at seventeen-star Emperor-level and one at fifteen-star Emperor-level. I don’t know what’s the matter now, that there isn’t even a single fifteen-star Emperor-level Expert left."
"You mean... there used to be quite a few powerful Experts?" Qin Yu realized there was something odd going on.
Elder Liu Tong continued, "The seventeen-star Emperor-level is almost ready to Cross the Divine Tribulation. That seventeen-star Emperor-level Expert might have crossed it. But what about that fifteen-star Emperor-level Expert? I can’t believe that he ascended in such a short time."
"Ah well, since no fifteen-star Emperor-level Experts have appeared, this isn’t something a Planet Elder like me can manage," said Elder Liu Tong with a laugh.
Qin Yu nodded his head.
What secrets lie within the Dark Star Realm, and who really knows?
Liu Tong looked at Qin Yu with burning eyes, "Lord Liu Xing, you are a high-level Emperor Level, which means... you are at least a Thirteen-star Emperor Level expert. Lord Liu Xing, can you tell me if you have reached Fifteen-star Emperor Level?"
Fifteen-star Emperor Level.
Qin Yu was well aware of his own strength, just looking at his body, he was at the power of the Fifteen-star Emperor Level. However, with the miraculous ’Life Essence Power,’ battling Seventeen-Star or Eighteen-Star was not an impossibility for Qin Yu.
"Elder Liu Tong, let’s just assume I am not at the Fifteen-star Emperor Level," Qin Yu said with a light smile.
"Just assume..." Liu Tong’s eyes widened as he discerned from Qin Yu’s words... that this interstellar ascetic in front of him must have reached Fifteen-star Emperor Level.
Fifteen-star Emperor Level, which one of them isn’t a widely renowned and extraordinary figure?
"Lord Liu Xing, I will not speak of this," Elder Liu Tong, seeing such trust from Qin Yu, felt proud in his heart. Suddenly, Elder Liu Tong thought of something and exclaimed in shock, "Lord Liu Xing, you said you have never entered the Eighteen Trial Dark Star?"
"Yes," Qin Yu nodded.
Elder Liu Tong took a deep breath, looking at Qin Yu, "Lord Liu Xing, in the history of the Dark Star Realm, there was a Golden Punishment Monarch, who initially did not enter the Eighteen Emperor-level Dark Stars, merely drifting and enduring hardships among the stars just like Lord Liu Xing! That Golden Punishment Monarch cultivated to the utmost, reaching at most Sixteen-star Emperor Level. His Majesty once said that without relying on Dark Stars, it’s simply impossible to achieve Seventeen-star and Eighteen-star Emperor Levels."
Qin Yu then remembered what Ye Qu had mentioned.
The Golden Punishment Sect Technique, not relying on the gravitational pull of Dark Stars for cultivation, Sixteen Stars was considered the peak. It seems what Ye Qu said was right!
"In history, the only one who managed to cultivate to Sixteen Stars without relying on Dark Stars was His Majesty. Those who cultivated to Fifteen Stars can be counted on one hand. I, Liu Tong, didn’t expect to meet one today," Liu Tong was very excited.
This was a record worthy for the annals of the Dark Star Realm.
Qin Yu chuckled, "Elder Liu Tong, you shouldn’t spread this around. I also don’t want it to be known by everyone." Elder Liu Tong nodded, feeling emotionally touched to have such a master confide in him.
"Elder Liu Tong, what about my Identity Star Diamond? Are you not planning to give it to me?" Qin Yu joked.
Elder Liu Tong couldn’t help but laugh, "I’m sorry, Lord Liu Xing, I got so caught up in our conversation that I forgot about awarding the Identity Star Diamond. Just give me a moment..." Saying that, Elder Liu Tong took out a Tri-color Star Diamond and placed it into a recess at the bottom of the ’Triangular Crystal Pillar.’ That recess fit a ’Tri-color Star Diamond’ perfectly.
"Lord Liu Xing, this crystal pillar will integrate some information into your Identity Star Diamond," Elder Liu Tong explained as he spoke, and shortly after, the Identity Star Diamond rolled out from the recess.
Qin Yu could not help but marvel inwardly, the Dark Star Realm indeed was quite amazing.
"Lord Liu Xing, you only need to drop blood on this Identity Star Diamond, and it will fuse into your palm. Once integrated, you will naturally know how to use it," Elder Liu Tong smiled as he handed it over.
Qin Yu accepted the Identity Star Diamond, and after doing the Blood Recognition, it directly integrated into his body.
"So that’s how it works," Qin Yu realized in his heart; the use of the Identity Star Diamond really was simple.

Having obtained the Identity Star Diamond, Qin Yu had resolved a problem. Now, he needed to find an interstellar map leading to the ’Eighteen Emperor-level Dark Star’ and the ’Mishen Palace.’
Eighteen Emperor-level Dark Star, Qin Yu still really wanted to experience it.
However, Qin Yu was not in a hurry to ask Elder Liu Tong for an interstellar map just yet. He spent a day or two in the Elder Hall, often chatting with the elder and learning some secrets of the Dark Star Realm.
On the third day of Qin Yu’s arrival at the Elder Hall.
Qin Yu and Elder Liu Tong were both in the hall, waiting for a group of people, a group from the Gold Punishment Star Domain Holy Star, known as—Law Enforcers.
The Law Enforcers initially had the responsibility of hunting down Emperor-level Metal Beasts within the Dark Star Realm. Later on, not only did they have to chase Emperor-level Metal Beasts, but also some insanely evil cultivators from the Dark Star Realm. After all, among the cultivators of the Dark Star Realm, there would sometimes be people of extreme wickedness. The damage they caused could sometimes be more terrifying than that of Emperor-level Metal Beasts.
This group of Law Enforcers had come to Sangyuan Star because of the Emperor-level Metal Beasts.
"Elder Liu Tong, the message from the Law Enforcers is quite shocking. Three Emperor-level Metal Beasts have come to this planet’s area, but we’ve only killed one, what about the other two?" Qin Yu remarked.
Elder Liu Tong nodded.
Indeed shocking; according to the information from the Law Enforcers, there were three very powerful Emperor-level Metal Beasts, the weakest of them being a Seven-star Emperor-level Metal Beast. The strongest even reached a Twelve-star Emperor-level Metal Beast.
A Twelve-star Emperor-level Metal Beast; looking across the Dark Star Realm, not a single elder of Reunion Star could match them.
Qin Yu also recalled the Seven-star Emperor-level Metal Beast he killed had threatened him, saying something about his brothers seeking revenge.
"Twelve stars? Revenge?" Qin Yu was unconcerned; a Twelve-star Emperor-level Metal Beast could be killed in a flip of his hand, what did he have to worry about?
"The Law Enforcer team has arrived," Qin Yu suddenly looked towards the sky. Elder Liu Tong also looked up, seeing six figures rapidly approaching the Elder Hall from above, the leader wearing a silver mask, his eyes radiating a fierce light.
Qin Yu raised an eyebrow, "A Fifteen-star Emperor-level expert!"
This Elder Liu Tong had just two days ago told him that the Golden Punishment Sect lineage didn’t have a Fifteen-star Emperor-level expert, and the position of the Golden Punishment Monarch was still vacant. Yet now he was seeing a Fifteen-star Emperor-level expert, and a Law Enforcer at that!
This Law Enforcer team was very strong, the leader being at Fifteen-star Emperor-level strength, and none of the other five members being below Ten-star Emperor-level.
The Law Enforcers, all six dressed in black clothes, except for the leader who wore a silver mask, the others did not wear masks. However, the gaze of all six Law Enforcers was rather cold.
The man in the silver mask approached, his eyes still fixed on Qin Yu, "My name is Wen Feng, who are you?"
"Liu Xing," Qin Yu replied with a slight smile on his face.
