Stellar Transformation-Chapter 454: Episode 14 - 27 Entering Mishen Palace
Bai Xuanjun’s originally indifferent expression disappeared, and his eyes burst out with a startling cold light as he stared at the Yanxuan’s Ring on Qin Yu’s finger. Black Flame Lord Wu Shan also turned solemn.
"Liu Xing, where did you get this Yanxuan’s Ring?" Bai Xuanjun asked Qin Yu, his expression extremely serious.
Qin Yu glanced at Bai Xuanjun and Black Flame Lord, nodded, and said, "This Yanxuan’s Ring was given to me by the Immortal Emperor Ni Yang from the Immortal Realm, you could say he gave it to me."
"He gave it to you? Impossible," Bai Xuanjun said coldly. "Ni Yang should know the use of the Yanxuan’s Ring, he would never give it to an outsider."
"But he is dead," Qin Yu continued. "If he weren’t dying, maybe he wouldn’t have given it to an outsider, but as a dying man, why would he care about an external possession?"
Qin Yu said with a faint smile, "Lord Black Flame and Lord Bai Xuan, you may not know, but I once wandered and adventured through the Immortal and Demon Worlds. I obtained this Yanxuan’s Ring by good fortune. I know... both your Majesties had a relationship with Immortal Emperor Ni Yang, so I hope you can do me a favor on the account of Yanxuan’s Ring."
Black Flame Lord sighed, "Can you tell me how he died? Before Ni Yang died, he sent us a message that his death was certain. But no matter how Ju Mi and I asked him, he wouldn’t tell us the reason."
Bai Xuanjun also looked at Qin Yu.
Qin Yu understood in his heart. He guessed that Immortal Emperor Ni Yang, having been poisoned by the poison insect of the Divine World, was presumably too embarrassed to discuss it with his friends. Straight until his death, probably unable to bear keeping the secret, he had passed it onto Qin Yu, someone who came after.
"Lord Black Flame and Lord Bai Xuan, to be honest, Immortal Emperor Ni Yang’s death was somewhat ignominious, and he didn’t want the reason for his death to be spread. Please forgive me," Qin Yu still didn’t reveal it.
Black Flame Lord and Bai Xuanjun exchanged glances and both sighed.
"Dying in such a miserable way, it’s hard to imagine how Ni Yang met such an ignominious death," Black Flame Lord sighed deeply, then looked at Qin Yu, "Liu Xing, since you obtained this Yanxuan’s Ring, refining a Pass Token is a trivial matter for us, of course, we can agree to it."
Bai Xuanjun also nodded.
Qin Yu felt a sense of relief wash over him.
Indeed, he had bet correctly.
Qin Yu had no other choice, otherwise, why would he have brought out the Yanxuan’s Ring? Even as he presented the ring, Qin Yu was worried that Black Flame Lord and Bai Xuanjun might suspect that he was Ni Yang’s killer. He had prepared a plethora of excuses, thankfully... before his death, Ni Yang had communicated with the two Lords.
"Thank you, your Majesties," Qin Yu expressed his gratitude.
Bai Xuanjun said indifferently, "No need, if anyone, thank Ni Yang. Unfortunately, Ni Yang is gone, alas..."
******
Qin Yu and the others talked in the side hall, while several people in the great hall also chatted, discussing whether Qin Yu could persuade Black Flame Lord and Bai Xuanjun.
"You know the temperament of His Majesty Bai Xuanjun, it’s not easy to persuade," Vice Sect Master Bao Yu said with a smile.
Vice Sect Master Liu Lan, on the other hand, sat with his eyes closed, a cold expression on his face.
"Seeing how eager Liu Xing was about entering the Mishen Temple, he must have prepared a way to convince Ju Mi and Wu Shan, even though I can’t imagine how he did it," Golden Punishment Lord Xing Yuan said with a chuckle.
Wen Feng wondered to himself if Qin Yu’s reason would be enough to persuade Bai Xuanjun.
"Here they come," Golden Punishment Lord Xing Yuan said laughing, while looking towards the door of the side hall. Wen Feng, Liu Lan, and a group of others also turned to look. Qin Yu and the two others came out of the door one after another.
Seeing Qin Yu’s expression, everyone had a clue.
"Lord Liu Xing seems to be in a good mood; he must have successfully persuaded Wu Shan and the others," Xing Yuan said with a chuckle.
Just as Qin Yu was about to speak, Black Flame Lord Wu Shan actually grinned and laughed out loud, "Lord Liu Xing indeed gave us a pleasant surprise. Yes, let’s help him refine a pass token."
Bai Xuanjun nodded as well.
"Shall we refine it here?" Golden Punishment Lord Xing Yuan asked.
Both Black Flame Lord and Bai Xuanjun nodded without objection.
Qin Yu was surprised. Could it be that this pass token could be refined anywhere, without any preparation?
Wen Feng, noticing Qin Yu’s puzzled expression, transmitted his voice, "Liu Xing, refining this pass token is incredibly difficult for us, but for the three monarchs, it’s merely a blink of an eye."
"Alright, this is my first time refining a pass token, so I will decide its design."
Golden Punishment Lord took out a block of dark metal. A surge of Power of Gold emanated from the palm of his hand and enveloped the dark metal. Under the strong control of the Power of Gold, the metal began to change shape.
In just the blink of an eye, the dark metal had turned into a hexagonal token, with a ’token’ character on the front and a lifelike statue on the back—none other than Golden Punishment Lord Xing Yuan himself.
"Xing Yuan, you really are quite vain," Black Flame Lord Wu Shan couldn’t help laughing out loud when he saw this, and everyone in the hall also laughed.
Xing Yuan said seriously, "This is probably the only time I will refine a pass token, so it has to be formal. Alright... the design is set. Wu Shan, Ju Mi, let’s refine it a bit."
Bai Xuanjun and Black Flame Lord nodded.
The expressions of the three monarchs became solemn. Then, they stretched out their right hands simultaneously, and a ray of light shot out from each of their palms—one gold, one white, and one black. The three rays of light converged on the token.
Qin Yu squinted reflexively.
"The power of the Inheritance Treasure." Qin Yu could clearly feel the mysterious power contained in the three rays of light. This aura was exactly the same as what Qin Yu had sensed at the ’Mishen Temple Entrance.’
Instantly, the three monarchs withdrew their hands.
At this moment, the surface of the token faintly glowed. After a brief tempering, this token was no longer ordinary metal.
Golden Punishment Lord Xing Yuan held the token, glanced at his own statue on the back, admired it for a moment, then threw the token to Qin Yu: "Liu Xing, take it." Qin Yu immediately caught it.
"This pass token is simple to use. You just need to take this pass token to the entrance of Mishen Temple, and input the Power of Gold into the pass token. The pass token will naturally emit a force into the seal of Mishen Temple Entrance. When the seal disappears for a while, take the opportunity to enter. The same method applies when coming out; also channel the Power of Gold into it, leading out the internal energy," Golden Punishment Lord Xing Yuan explained carefully.
Black Flame Lord Wu Shan chuckled, "Liu Xing, don’t randomly input the Power of Gold when you’re free. The energy contained in this token is not much, probably only enough for three or four activations. If you drain the energy inside, you won’t be able to open the seal of the Mishen Temple Entrance."
"I understand."
Qin Yu held the token in his hand, feeling elated.
He could clearly sense the energy within the token, which had the same aura as the seal. However, the energy in the token was not abundant, and he estimated it would run out after a few uses.
"Liu Xing, Lord Black Flame and Lord Bai Xuan have specifically come to help us. I have ordered a feast prepared, and I need you to take good care of them," Lord Golden Punishment Xing Yuan instructed.
Qin Yu nodded, "Certainly."
******
Having received the Pass Token, Qin Yu warmly hosted Lord Black Flame and Lord Bai Xuan that day until the next day, when he set off alone towards the Mishen Temple.
After perceiving for three thousand years, Qin Yu’s Soul Golden Core was incomparable even to ordinary divine beings.
Assisted by the Meteor Tear, a single Great Teleportation by Qin Yu was enough to cross a Star Domain. With the speed of his Great Teleportation... in just a short while, Qin Yu arrived in the star system nearest to the Mishen Temple. In this star system, Qin Yu dared not use Great Teleportation, but relied on the Interstellar Transmission Array to reach Qiu Jian Star.
On Qiu Jian Star.
"My lord, is it you again?" The transmission array operator couldn’t help but be surprised. It was not long ago that Qin Yu had visited.
"Yes, it’s me again," Qin Yu said with a smile, his mood exceptionally good.
Qin Yu then transformed into a streak of flowing light and shot into space. He began to rush at high speed... Flying, no matter how fast, was far inferior to Great Teleportation, and it took him a long time to cover less than half the distance of a star system.
Mishen Temple Entrance.
Elder Lian Fan was still sitting cross-legged at the entrance, monitoring the Mishen Temple Entrance—which was a rather tedious job. However, as Elder Lian Fan quietly cultivated, time passed quickly for him.
Not long ago, the scene where the expert known as Liu Xing attacked the seal played over in Elder Lian Fan’s mind. He would occasionally remember it and sigh in admiration, "Lord Liu Xing is really powerful."
"Lian Fan." A familiar voice rang out.
Elder Lian Fan abruptly opened his eyes and immediately became respectful and joyful upon seeing who it was. "Elder Lian Fan greets Lord Liu Xing. May I know if there’s anything Lord Liu Xing requires... Perhaps, are you here to break the seal again?"
Qin Yu took out the Pass Token, "This time, I brought a Pass Token."
Seeing the Pass Token, Elder Lian Fan couldn’t help but feel admiration internally: Truly a supreme expert, to have managed to get three monarchs to make an exception and refine a Pass Token just for him.
"Congratulations to Lord Liu Xing on obtaining this Pass Token," Elder Lian Fan immediately said.
"You may step aside," Qin Yu spoke with a gentle smile.
"Yes," Lian Fan quickly moved aside and then watched as Qin Yu entered the Mishen Palace... This was a very rare scene to witness.
The Pass Token hovered in front of Qin Yu. With a single point of his hand, a beam of Power of Gold entered the Pass Token. All of a sudden, the Pass Token began to tremble.
"Hiss—"
A three-colored light beam shot directly from the Pass Token towards the seal at the entrance of the Mishen Temple.
The seal, which only trembled under Qin Yu’s full-force attack, was struck by this three-colored light beam. Like drawing curtains apart, the seal’s energy split to either side, revealing the passage.
Qin Yu took back the Pass Token, and his form turned into a streak of light, swiftly passing through the opening.
After a moment, the seal slowly closed again.
******
The black granular material had a thickness of nearly ten meters. Having traversed this passage, Qin Yu then saw the outer area of the Mishen Palace!
At a glance—
A hazy fog enveloped the entire outer area of the Mishen Palace, resembling a covered mist. As Qin Yu slightly moved forward a few steps, he noticed that within the mist, there were occasional landslides and volcanic eruptions...
"It seems this is the outer area’s illusionary landscape of the Mishen Palace," Qin Yu was very knowledgeable about the Mishen Palace.
The outer area of the Mishen Palace is a Divine Restriction. Precisely, it belonged to a kind of Illusion Technique Restriction from the Divine World, covering a vast area almost comparable to a hundred Constant Stars. This made the power of the Illusion Technique Restriction not very strong.
The most important aspect... This Illusion Technique Restriction does not have the power to kill, only to confine.
But being trapped in this Illusion Technique Restriction for billions of years is also very tormenting.
Ordinary people only enter into the periphery of this illusionary landscape because the covered area of the restriction is too large, and its power is not very strong. As long as one does not go deep inside and stays in the periphery, within the realm of Soul Power infiltration, it is still possible to get out.
"Let me see how far my Soul Realm can penetrate," Qin Yu’s Divine Sense immediately began to infiltrate into the illusionary realm. He felt clearly that his Divine Sense had just entered the region of the illusionary realm and it was as if he had fallen into a quagmire, making it extremely difficult to move forward.
After a moment.
"This is my limit, and yet it is not even a millionth of the Illusion Technique Restriction’s coverage," Qin Yu sensed clearly... in a deeper region covered by his Divine Sense, there were three floating Divine Artifacts.
Qin Yu took out the Mysterious God Scroll.
A hazy starlight twinkled around the Mysterious God Scroll, Qin Yu muttered to himself, "Illusion Technique Restriction? I don’t have time to waste." Part of his mind merged into the Mysterious God Scroll, and naturally, the route to the inner sanctum of the Mishen Palace appeared in his mind. However, this route was constantly changing.
Qin Yu stepped forward and entered into the hazy mist of the illusionary realm.
With the Mysterious God Scroll indicating the way, Qin Yu continually turned left and right, even taking detours... but Qin Yu knew this was indeed the shortest route. In three hours, Qin Yu had covered half the distance.
In this half of the journey, Qin Yu casually picked up thirty-six Divine Artifacts.
Even some Divine Artifacts that could be obtained by detouring and spending some time, Qin Yu couldn’t be bothered to pick up, because he knew... if he wanted to obtain them, it would be extremely simple. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
"When Immortal Emperor Ni Yang first used the Mysterious God Scroll to enter the Mishen Temple, he obtained only about a dozen Divine Artifacts. His Soul Realm was too weak, much too weak," Qin Yu thought to himself.
Qin Yu’s feet continued to move swiftly while his Divine Sense covered a vast area.
The Soul Power coverage of Immortal Emperor Ni Yang during his first entry into the Mishen Palace was not even one-thousandth of Qin Yu’s—how could he compare to Qin Yu?
