Stellar Transformation-Chapter 499: Episode 15 - 8 The Changes in Star Space
Qin Yu looked at Uncle Fu several times before finally accepting the three golden scrolls.
To ordinary divine beings, golden scrolls were considered valuable items, but for the Mishen Palace... such recording items were stocked in the millions.
Qin Yu immediately used his divine sense to carefully examine the three golden scrolls.
How voluminous were the three golden scrolls? Even without studying them in detail, just browsing them roughly, Qin Yu had spent a full four years to finish reading these three golden scrolls.
"Killing Array?"
Qin Yu closed his eyes, and the content he had read over the past four years completely surfaced in his mind. Suddenly, an immensely huge array formation appeared in Qin Yu’s mind. The complexity of that formation was such that Qin Yu could not see through how it was constructed.
"I have completely understood the basics, but why can’t I see through this formation at all?" Qin Yu felt impatient.
Qin Yu was just trying to decipher the formation mentally when suddenly, the formation began to change. Flames filled the sky, and amidst them, a large amount of thunder struck down violently.
Qin Yu abruptly discarded everything in his mind.
Opening his eyes, Qin Yu, with a pale face, looked at Uncle Fu in front of him, his eyes full of confusion, "Uncle Fu, why? I originally didn’t see any fire attribute or thunder attribute attacks, but just touching it triggered both fire and thunder attribute attacks?"
If it were someone who had no understanding of array formations, they would not know how formidable this formation was.
However, Qin Yu could be considered to have entered the halls of array formations. Although he could not understand the true power of this ’Killing Array’, once the formation was activated, the ferocious killing moves were revealed, and Qin Yu understood.
"Master, I once asked the old master a question. I asked the old master, since he had already grasped the First Realm of the ’Array Dao’ and even reached the Second Realm of the ’Array Dao,’ why did he go back and research again, even spending a billion years to grasp the First Realm of the ’Array Dao’?" Uncle Fu smiled at Qin Yu, "Master, do you know how the old master answered?"
Qin Yu shook his head.
Uncle Fu continued, "The old master said, claiming to have grasped all the methods of writing numbers just because one learned to write ’one’ with a horizontal stroke, ’two’ with two strokes, and ’three’ with three strokes—isn’t that laughable?"
Qin Yu nodded.
"The old master also said that the ocean of array formations is endless, and many people have only studied a small corner of it. The essence of the formations they grasped from this small corner, is it really the essence?"
Qin Yu began to understand a bit.
He himself, having studied 900 volumes of ’Array Dao,’ feared that the First Realm of the ’Array Dao’ he had grasped was incorrect.
"Many people believe they have grasped the First Realm of the ’Array Dao’ and consider themselves quite remarkable... but for them, grasping the Second Realm of the ’Array Dao’ becomes very difficult. Because the mistaken First Realm of the ’Array Dao’ is not enough to help them grasp the Second Realm of the ’Array Dao,’" Uncle Fu seemed to recall the words once spoken by Che Hou Yuan.
Qin Yu listened carefully.
At this moment, it was as if Che Hou Yuan, through Uncle Fu’s mouth, was telling Qin Yu some critical points.
"The old master once said that the more a master of array formations grasped about array formations, the more they believed that what they grasped was just a tiny corner of the ocean of array formations. The old master grasped the unprecedented Third Realm of the ’Array Dao,’ becoming the first person in the Divine World of array formations, and later also became the first master of artifact refining. Yet, the old master himself had said... the realm of array formations was still more profound than what he had grasaped. The ’Third Realm’ of the Array Dao is not the endpoint."
The sea of learning is boundless!
Qin Yu felt a strong shock in his heart, accompanied by shame.
Shock was what he felt at realizing the Third Realm of Array Dao, the number one array master in the Divine World, yet still believing that the Third Realm of Array Dao was not the end.
Shame was based on how he, after only 90,000 years of research, had presumed to have grasped the essence of formations.
"A full bottle doesn’t sway, a half-filled one does," Uncle Fu laughed, "The old master once said that there are many experts in the Divine World who study the Array Dao, many of whom have studied longer than the old master, but they had gone astray right from understanding the First Realm of Array Dao. Even with their extraordinary talent and spending ages, once they grasped the Second Realm of Array Dao, reaching the Third Realm became impossible."
Qin Yu nodded slightly.
"The old master continued his research, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not reach the Fourth Realm of Array Dao. Yet, he was very certain that he could feel the existence of the Fourth Realm; unfortunately, he could not achieve it," Uncle Fu sighed.
Che Hou Yuan had no relatives, only Uncle Fu as a servant. The helplessness he felt, he only shared with Uncle Fu.
Qin Yu could only sigh as well.
The Fourth Realm of Array Dao—what level would that be?
"I think I understand now, the more array techniques I deduce, which is to say, the more I understand about the ocean of formations, the more accurate the essence of the formations I grasp will be, right?" Qin Yu completely understood now in his heart.
Merely mastering the content of 900 volumes of Array Dao, the ’Array Dao Essence’ he grasped had already led him astray. Mainly because there were too few examples of formations.
Uncle Fu nodded.
"Then I will start deducing, creating one complex formation after another. I believe the more I deduce, the more accurate the ’First Realm of Array Formation’ I eventually grasp will be." Qin Yu directly discarded the ’Array Dao Essence’ he had just grasped and solidly began to deduce again.
Seeing this scene, a smile also appeared on Uncle Fu’s face.
In the moment of deducing, Qin Yu suddenly thought of a problem: "Artisan God Che Hou Yuan, he said there is a Fourth Realm of Array Dao which he couldn’t reach. Could it be because... the ’Array Dao Essence’ he deduced for the second time after spending one billion years was still not the most accurate?"
Qin Yu trembled at this thought.
One billion years still wasn’t enough?
Qin Yu didn’t dare to think further; if that was the case, how much longer would he need to spend deducing such complex arrays? Discarding his wandering thoughts, Qin Yu quietly began deducing formations with all his focus.
******
Mining only took a thousand years, and Qin Yu had only spent a hundred thousand years in the second layer of space in the Jiang Lan Realm by the time Uncle Fu woke him, lamenting, "Why is mining just a mere thousand years?"
Indeed, studying formations was extremely time-consuming.
After over ten thousand years of deducing, and as he deduced, Qin Yu felt increasingly the vastness of the ocean of formations. Simultaneously, he increasingly felt ashamed of the so-called ’essence of formations’ he had understood in the past.
The higher you stand, the broader the world you see.
This was true for Qin Yu, the more he understood, the more he realized the boundlessness of the ocean of formations.
Inside the second layer of space in the Jiang Lan Realm, Hou Fei and Hei Yu were waiting outside the house, while Qin Yu himself hadn’t come out from inside yet.
"Feifei, Little Black, wait outside for a bit," was what Hou Fei and Hei Yu heard as they approached Qin Yu’s house; then, they waited there.
But by now, quite a while had passed.
"What is Big Brother doing inside the house?" Hou Fei wondered aloud.
Hei Yu also shook his head, indicating he didn’t know.
In the hundred thousand years, both Hou Fei and Hei Yu’s Soul Realm had reached the level of ’Intermediate Divine Being.’ Accurately speaking, they spent just over ninety thousand years to reach this level of Intermediate Divine Being, a fact that initially surprised Qin Yu for quite a while.
Although the Cloud Piercing Spear and Black Stick made it easier for Hou Fei and Hei Yu to perceive space, a mere hundred thousand years still exceeded Qin Yu’s expectations.
It was only after careful inquiry that he found out.
Over these hundred thousand years, Hou Fei and Hei Yu’s method of perceiving space was — fighting!
These two fought wildly, realizing the Dao in their battles. Hou Fei and Hei Yu originally understood the ’Heaven Shattering Stick’ through combat, and now their understanding in battle was exceedingly fast.
...
While Hou Fei and Hei Yu were outside, Qin Yu was sitting cross-legged on a cushion. At the hundred thousand-year mark, Qin Yu stopped formulating formations and then... Qin Yu, quite exceptionally, went to observe the ’Star Space.’
After a hundred thousand years, just what stage had his own ’Star Space’ reached?
Inside the Star Space.
The expanse of today’s Star Space was incredibly vast. Strands of ’Glue Breath’ from all directions passed through the membranes between the Star Space and the Glue Space, converging toward the central ’Origin.’
The core of Qin Yu’s cultivation, the ’Origin,’ had actually shrunk in size. It was fist-sized in the past, but now it was only the size of a chicken egg. Moreover, it was no longer dark gold but entirely gray.
Or shall we say... it closely resembled the color of ’Glue’ in the Glue Space.
"Late Origin stage, I had already reached the Late Origin stage twenty thousand years ago, and in these past twenty thousand years, the size has slightly shrunk." Qin Yu’s consciousness observed with puzzlement.
Qin Yu did not interfere with the evolution of the Origin, merely letting it develop naturally.
Twenty thousand years ago, Qin Yu had observed the ’Origin,’ which had already entered the Late Origin stage. But what was the difference in these past twenty thousand years?
"The size shrunk slightly, and the color is closer to that of ’Glue.’ Huh?" Suddenly, Qin Yu’s heart shook as he unexpectedly discovered something peculiar.
The chicken egg-sized gray sphere was surrounded by a very small area where the space was distorted.
"Rotational distortion of space?" Qin Yu completely focused on this distorted area. As countless ’Glue Breaths’ were being absorbed in rotation, Qin Yu initially did not notice the distorted space.
Qin Yu observed carefully, and gradually... Qin Yu’s consciousness fully merged with the Star Space.
The Star Space was refined by Qin Yu, so merging with the entire Star Space was not difficult.
Once merged with the Star Space, Qin Yu could more clearly sense all the changes within the entire ’Star Space.’ Centered around the ’Origin,’ that very small area of rotating distorted space was imperceptibly expanding in size.
Only by merging with the Star Space could Qin Yu detect this change.
"Could it be... that this distorted, spinning space will eventually take over the entire Star Space?" Qin Yu thought to himself.
******
Currently, Qin Yu’s comprehension of the Space Law was not high, but he had a vague understanding. This vague understanding told Qin Yu that the changes in the Star Space should follow the most perfected Dao. If he forcibly changed it, it would only deviate it from the correct evolutionary path.
His consciousness returned to his body, and Qin Yu opened his eyes and got up.
Pushing open the door, Qin Yu walked out with a smile and immediately saw the vibrant green lawn outside the house and the calm, mirror-like lake, which brightened his mood.
"Feifei, Little Black, I kept you waiting for a while," Qin Yu said with a smile.
Hou Fei laughed heartily, "No worries, Big Brother, let’s go, we can finally leave the Divine Spirit Stone Mine, hurry up."
Qin Yu and his brothers did not want to be too outrageous. According to the plan, before reaching the strength of the Heavenly Gods, the three of them would act normally like outsiders, and during this period, the three brothers would use the Second Space of the Jiang Lan Realm to swiftly enhance their own strength.
...
Qin Yu and his brothers paid out their respective 3,600 blocks of Low Grade Divine Spiritual Stones and were then led by a woman to a refined loft, where there were a few beautiful women.
"Qin Yu, Hou Fei, Hei Yu?" One of the women in purple took out a Jade Scroll, read it using her Divine Sense, then looked up and said indifferently, "Mhm, you have paid enough Divine Spiritual Stones for this millennium. From today onwards, you are official members of the Divine World. Please wait a moment, our people have gone to get your Identity Tokens."
After speaking, the woman in purple paid no more attention to the three of them.
Qin Yu and his brothers could only look at each other and smile helplessly. After years of paying Low Grade Divine Spiritual Stones, they had gotten used to the cold attitude of these service staff.
"Sister Li, I heard that Captain Wang from the mine wants to form a Daoist partnership with you, right? Captain Wang is not a bad choice, at least he’s a captain, has a high salary, and he also has a house in Wei Chi City for cultivation," a woman in white organizing the Jade Scrolls said with a smile.
The woman in purple said indifferently a moment ago, "I’m not interested in that right now."
"Sister Li, don’t always pursue becoming a Heavenly God through arduous cultivation. Among the many Upper Level Divine Beings, how many can become Heavenly Gods? The probability of becoming a Heavenly God is too low. You can’t be alone forever; even agreeing to Captain Wang isn’t bad; he ascended from the same cosmic space as you, and he has been pursuing you for hundreds of millions of years," the woman in white persuaded.
The woman in purple said indifferently, "A Daoist Partner? Becoming Daoist Partners with him is not impossible."
"How could it be possible?" The eyes of the woman in white brightened.
The woman in purple remained indifferent: "Unless, he becomes a Heavenly God!" At that, the woman in white was silenced. If he became a Heavenly God, there would be many who wanted to be his wife.
Because Daoist Partners could merge souls, and thereby derive enlightenment from each other to reach the Heavenly God Realm. Of course, deriving enlightenment from others only reduces the difficulty of becoming a Heavenly God and does not guarantee success.
Qin Yu and his brothers exchanged glances, rendered speechless.
At that moment, a woman from outside the room came in and handed three tokens to the woman in purple: "Sister Li, three Identity Tokens. The village assigned to them has also been confirmed; it’s Fu Jue Village!"
The woman in purple took the three tokens and looked at the woman who delivered the tokens with a puzzled and astonished expression: "What did you say, the three of them were assigned to Fu Jue Village? Are you sure?"
