Stellar Transformation-Chapter 495: Episode 15: Creation of Heaven and Earth - 4: God-locking Tower
"Yes, master," Uncle Fu bowed in response.
Qin Yu nodded slightly, then turned to look at Hou Fei and Hei Yu, "Feifei, Little Black, besides the Cloud Piercing Spear and the Black Stick, would you like to have some even more powerful weapons?"
"Big Brother, do you have them?" Hou Fei’s eyes shone brightly.
Suddenly, Qin Yu made a small boat appear suspended in midair with a wave of his hand, and a pair of nearly transparent gloves, as well as a towering stone tower also appeared. Seeing this scene, Uncle Fu could not help but look at Qin Yu in shock: "Master, these are the Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures left to you by the old master!"
"Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures? The legendary Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures?" Wu Lan, who was at the side, could hardly believe what he was saying, "And three of them?"
"What’s left to me is mine, and I have the right to distribute them," Qin Yu said with a faint smile.
Ever since he received these three Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures, Qin Yu had no intention of refining all of them for himself. If he did, how could his brothers move freely in the Divine World?
Furthermore, Qin Yu possessed the Jiang Lan Realm and also ’Residual Snow,’ the upper grade Heavenly Divine Artifact that Che Hou Yuan was most proud of. Qin Yu was not lacking in impressive treasures.
And speaking of combat power...
"If I follow the path of combat power, without the strength of a Divine King, even with powerful spiritual treasures, it will be impossible to gain the recognition of the Eight Great Saint Emperors or to touch the heart of Li’er’s father," Qin Yu was very clear about this in his heart.
For a being at the level of a Divine King, only those of the same level and the legendary Heavenly Venerables would be taken seriously by them.
Therefore, Qin Yu’s efforts had to be spent on two aspects, one was cultivation, and the other was the study of the nine-hundred scrolls of the Array Dao, striving to reach the realm of the ’Artisan God.’
"Big Brother, we cannot accept these treasures," Hei Yu spoke gravely while Hou Fei also wanted to speak but was interrupted by Qin Yu.
"Do not refuse so quickly. Let me first introduce these three Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures. The first, ’Flying Divine Ship,’ is a flying treasure. Its speed is incredibly fast. Once you have it... it can be said that in the Divine World, if you want to escape for your life, there won’t be many who can catch you."
Immediately, Hou Fei and Hei Yu looked at the Flying Divine Ship with fiery eyes.
In the Divine World, the divine spirit is violent, and the space is resilient, making Instantaneous Movement impossible—unless one has reached the Divine King level and fully comprehends the ’Space Law,’ allowing for easy transportation.
Heavenly Gods cannot use Instantaneous Movement and can only fly.
Therefore, the value of the ’Flying Divine Ship,’ a flying Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure, goes without saying.
"The second Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure is named ’Snow Silk Gloves.’ The Snow Silk Gloves are the strongest of the three in terms of attack power. Once refined, your hands will become extremely resilient, and you can fight bare-handed against others. Additionally, the ’Snow Silk Gloves’ have many functions, including the enhancement of attack power. They also have some special Divine Skills... they belong to the strongest in terms of attack among the three pieces."
Hou Fei and Hei Yu looked at each other, both believing that this attack treasure was exceedingly precious.
"The third Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure is known as the ’God-locking Tower.’ The God-locking Tower can be said to be... a higher level Ten Thousand Beasts List! The Ten Thousand Beasts List is just a toy in the Divine World because it can only subdue beings up to Demon Emperor Level. The God-locking Tower is different, regardless of whether it’s a person or a demon; as long as they have not reached the Divine King level, if they cannot resist the suction of the God-locking Tower and are sucked into it, they become the slaves of the owner of the God-locking Tower!"
Qin Yu looked towards his two brothers.
"These three Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures, the Snow Silk Gloves and the Flying Divine Ship, can be considered second-class treasures. As for the God-locking Tower, it can only be considered a third-class spiritual treasure... because only if the opponent cannot resist the suction of the God-locking Tower will they be sucked in. Therefore, its real usefulness is limited, as it is very difficult to handle enemies stronger than oneself," Qin Yu explained.
The inside of the God-locking Tower was completely empty.
Unlike the Ten Thousand Beasts List that Qin Yu obtained back then, which was impressive due to the formidable Demon Emperors and Kings it contained right from the start, how else could it show its prowess? If it didn’t have powerful Demon Emperor beasts inside and one had to capture them oneself, where would the Ten Thousand Beasts List’s impressiveness be?
And to imprison someone or a demon in the God-locking Tower, at a minimum, one had to defeat or severely injure the opponent to the point that they couldn’t resist the tower’s suction. After all, the suction of the God-locking Tower wasn’t considered strongly.
The suction strength of the God-locking Tower was related to the level of refinement and the strength of its master.
"Big Brother, take the Snow Silk Gloves," said Hou Fei and Hei Yu.
Qin Yu smiled and shook his head, "These Snow Silk Gloves are considered second-class Spiritual Treasures, whereas my Upper Grade Heavenly Divine Artifact ’Residual Snow’ Divine Spear is nearly as powerful as a second-class Spiritual Treasure. This is Lord Artisan God’s proudest work among Upper Grade Heavenly Divine Artifacts."
Without ’Hongmeng Spiritual Energy,’ it is not a Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure.
A typical Upper Grade Heavenly Divine Artifact has the power of a third-class Spiritual Treasure, but this ’Residual Snow’ of Qin Yu’s is a notch above the typical Upper Grade Heavenly Divine Artifacts. However, since Heavenly Divine Artifacts are only divided into three tiers, it has to be categorized in the highest tier.
Without relying on Hongmeng Spiritual Energy, refining such a formidable weapon comparable to a second-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure is also the reason why ’Che Hou Yuan’ is proud of this ’Residual Snow’ Divine Spear.
"Master..." Uncle Fu said urgently.
"Uncle Fu," Qin Yu frowned slightly, leaving Uncle Fu no choice but to restrain himself.
What Uncle Fu was about to say, Qin Yu knew all too well.
These Snow Silk Gloves, in fact, when paired with the Residual Snow Divine Spear, can complement each other wonderfully. Wearing the ’Snow Silk Gloves’ while attacking with the Residual Snow Divine Spear, the attack power would increase by several folds at least. Once paired, they weren’t far from the power of a First-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure.
However, Qin Yu didn’t want to say it, letting his brothers know.
"Alright, then you take the Flying Divine Ship." Hei Yu said.
Among the three Spiritual Treasures, the Snow Silk Gloves and the Flying Divine Ship were better. The God-locking Tower was somewhat impractical since it initially contained nothing, and to capture a strong master, one must defeat them and then capture them.
"Flying Divine Ship? I have the Jiang Lan Realm, which is more efficient for escaping than the Flying Divine Ship," said Qin Yu with a smile.
Hei Yu was taken aback.
Compared to the Jiang Lan Realm, indeed, the evasive capabilities of the Flying Divine Ship were somewhat inferior.
"Hehe, let me decide, this God-locking Tower is mine. Feifei’s movement technique speed is not as fast as Little Black’s, Feifei, you take this ’Flying Divine Ship.’ Little Black, this remaining Snow Silk Gloves is yours," said Qin Yu.
After Qin Yu finished speaking, he pointed at the God-locking Tower with one hand, and a drop of blood fell into the tower.
The tall stone tower immediately shrank rapidly and merged into Qin Yu’s body.
"Remember, first perform Blood Recognition, then take it into your body and slowly refine it. Your Soul Realms are not high, to refine this Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure, it will probably take at least ten thousand years, so don’t rush," Qin Yu instructed.
Hou Fei and Hei Yu, looking at the nearby ’Flying Divine Ship’ and ’Snow Silk Gloves’ then back at Qin Yu, were speechless for a good while.
"All right, you guys find a place to start cultivating, I’m off to cultivate as well," Qin Yu said with a faint smile, and his entire being disappeared.
"Big Brother—" Hou Fei and Hei Yu watched as Qin Yu left, still unable to voice their thoughts.
*******
With a single thought, a house appeared on the ground, surrounded by a short, stout sweet osmanthus tree. Qin Yu entered the house and sat down cross-legged, while Uncle Fu stood by his side.
"Ah... how strange," Qin Yu sighed.
He had intended to extract some ’Glue Breath’ from the Star Space for his two brothers, so they could quickly refine it. Yet, oddly enough,
no matter how he tried to control it, the ’Glue Breath’ could only move within the ’Star Space’ and simply could not pass through the Black Hole Channel.
"Master, is there something wrong?" Uncle Fu asked, seeing Qin Yu in this state.
Qin Yu came to his senses, smiled, and shook his head, "Uncle Fu, you stay outside for now. Wake us up after a hundred years." After Qin Yu spoke, Uncle Fu left the house.
Inside the house,
Qin Yu began refining the ’God-locking Tower’.
In the Star Space, the dense and numerous ’Glue Breaths’ continued to converge towards the ’Origin’ at the center, and the dark golden orb absorbed an awe-inspiring amount of ’Glue Breath’ every moment, although the orb itself changed too slowly.
A towering stone tower floated in the middle of the Star Space, while a ’Glue Breath’ had already enveloped the tip of the tower.
The God-locking Tower was ingesting the ’Glue Breath’ at an extremely, extremely slow pace.
Qin Yu clearly felt that as it devoured the ’Glue Breath,’ his own refinement of the God-locking Tower was increasing at a perceptibly fast rate. This refinement hardly required much effort, freeing Qin Yu’s mind to think of other matters.
"It seems I was too full of myself in the past, thinking my body was as tough as an Upper-Grade Divine Artifact. Only a Divine Artifact infused with Divine Power can exhibit true power. The way Immortals, Demons, and Beasts use Divine Artifacts in their realms is truly..." Qin Yu couldn’t help but lament.
A frog in a well cannot conceive of the ocean’s vastness, can it?
Now, the toughness of his body was merely at the level of an Intermediate Divine Being.
"Clearly, the Divine World places great importance on the body. Only with a sufficiently strong body can one withstand enough Divine Power. With the help of the Meteor Tear, my soul control is close to that of a Lower Heavenly God. It is precisely because my body isn’t tough enough that I’ve only absorbed so much Divine Power."
Qin Yu could feel the dark golden Divine Power inside him slowly infiltrating his muscles and bones.
His body was slowly improving bit by bit.
"In the realms of Immortals, Demons, and Beasts, I had no way to further improve my body, but here it seems I can easily improve. The Divine World truly deserves its name," Qin Yu thought to himself. Then, he divided his attention, slightly monitoring the refinement of the ’God-locking Tower’ on one hand, while beginning to read the nine hundred scrolls of the ’Array Dao’ on the other.
With a single flip of his hand, the first of the nine hundred scrolls of the ’Array Dao’ appeared in his hand.
With a sweep of his divine sense, Qin Yu began studying the nine hundred scrolls of the ’Array Dao.’ Each golden scroll contained an astonishing amount of information, and as time passed, Qin Yu’s knowledge of them grew more profound.
The ’Array Dao’ was primarily divided into: Killing Arrays, Trap Arrays, and Defensive Arrays.
Each of these three categories of arrays contained many subcategories. For instance, Killing Arrays can be divided into Illusion Realm-related Heart Demon Attacks, Array’s Amplitude-reliant Energy Attacks, and Array Formation Stacking Attacks.
Trap Arrays were also divided into many aspects.
...
The nine hundred scrolls of the ’Array Dao’ essentially focused on these three major types of arrays. Strangely, out of the nine hundred scrolls, only a little over a hundred discussed Killing Arrays. About two hundred scrolls discussed Defensive Arrays, while the remaining five hundred or so were all explanations of Trap Arrays.
A single golden scroll held much more content than the jade scrolls of the realms of Immortals, Demons, and Beasts.
Qin Yu originally couldn’t imagine why there would be as many as nine hundred scrolls of the ’Array Dao.’
But after reading only three scrolls, Qin Yu fully understood.
Of these nine hundred scrolls, probably only one percent of the content explained how to set up and break arrays. The rest of the content was entirely examples, with detailed explanations of different array patterns.
It started with an elaborate explanation of the most common Five Elements Formation, detailing how to set it up, how to break it, where the weaknesses were, what was most important, and so on.
Examples of array patterns were thus decoded one after another.
Various combination methods would produce different array examples. From the simplest and most basic arrays, they gradually delved deeper, presenting increasingly complex arrays.
At first, Qin Yu found it easy to understand the principles and key points of the simple array examples he saw. However, as he delved deeper, understanding some of the extremely complex arrays took him months or even longer.
"Yes, this will lure the opponent into an illusion. I get that part, but how could eighteen superimposed Attack Restrictions possibly merge into one?" Qin Yu pondered continually, while his divine sense calculated countless possible scenarios at lightning speed.
The calculation speed of a Divine Being’s divine sense is thousands of times faster than the so-called smart brains in the Mortal World’s technological universe.
"Master, a hundred years have passed, and a year has gone by in the outside world," Uncle Fu’s voice suddenly rang out.
Qin Yu awoke with a start.
"Has it been a hundred years already?" Qin Yu asked, surprised. Completely engrossed in studying array calculations, he had lost all track of time, "Eh, the God-locking Tower has also been refined successfully."
Qin Yu laughed at himself.
He had started by dividing his attention between the God-locking Tower and studying the ’Array Dao.’ But as time went by, feeling that the speed of his divine sense calculations was too slow, he had immersed himself entirely in studying the ’Array Dao,’ paying no heed to the God-locking Tower.
By the time he came to his senses, the God-locking Tower had already been successfully refined.
