Stellar Transformation

"Big Brother Qin Yu, was it you who controlled the Township Stele to sink into the ground?" Li’er had a smile on her face as well. She found it amusing in her heart; her Big Brother Qin Yu was really too awful, controlling the Township Stele to sink into the ground only when others were about to successfully refine it.

Qin Yu watched in the clean mirror surface, those three Dragon Clan experts and the others, astonished and incredulous, and couldn’t help but laugh.

"Now that I control the Qingyu Immortal Mansion, if I want to kill them, it’s not a difficult task." Qin Yu clearly sensed various Restrictions within the Qingyu Immortal Mansion, and just by sensing those Restrictions’ vast energy, Qin Yu did not doubt their power at all.

However, at that moment—

Surprisingly, a voice rang out in Qin Yu’s mind.

"The junior hasn’t done badly, actually not using Restrictions to commit murder, and has not sunk to such malicious depths, so I will leave you the Defense Restrictions and some of the weaker Attack Restrictions. However, I will have to withdraw the strongest Attack Restrictions."

The message left by Immortal Ni Yang.

Qin Yu’s heart shuddered.

Immortal Ni Yang’s actions were truly hard to predict. Qin Yu could be sure that Immortal Ni Yang had left activating Restrictions behind. If he ever used Restrictions to attack the people in the main hall, he guessed that these Restrictions would completely and automatically disappear.

If an Immortal Mansion were to lose its powerful Defense Restrictions, as soon as he used it, it would definitely attract numerous experts to snatch it.

Luckily he hadn’t made a move, Qin Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Just how powerful is that strongest Attack Restriction?" Qin Yu suddenly wondered. Unfortunately, this strongest Attack Restriction probably had too great a power, for Immortal Ni Yang had already automatically withdrawn it.

...

Inside the main hall of the Qingyu Immortal Mansion.

True Master Shui Rou, True Master Yue Yan, Elder Qian Xu, and Lady Yan Ji were all looking at the original position of the Township Stele that had sunk into the ground. The four of them had fought desperately, even Huo Lan, Qian Ming, and Qian Shan had been killed, yet this was the outcome in the end.

"Impossible, how could this be?" The three brothers, Yan Lanshan and the others’ faces were filled with anger and unwillingness.

They had hidden their strength till the end, finally seizing the opportunity. Yet, as they were about to refine the entire Immortal Mansion, at the last moment, the Township Stele somehow sank into the ground, never to be seen again.

"Dragon Clan, in the end, it’s all in vain for you, look, how abundant the Primordial Spirit Qi of this Immortal Mansion is. Cultivating here, even some Holy Lands in the Chaotic Star Sea might not compare. Such a treasure place, obtained by someone destined, the heavens did not wish for you to possess it." Lady Yan Ji mocked.

Green Dragon Yan Lang was also full of reluctance, but what could he do?

Yan Lanshan gave Lady Yan Ji a cold glance, then looked at this hall made entirely of Primordial Spirit Stones, with various other treasures like Immortal Ginseng, which were almost within their grasp, yet in the end...

Yan Lanshan could only look up to the sky and sigh deeply.

None of the people in the main hall knew that it was indeed Qin Yu, who had already controlled the entire Immortal Mansion. While they were fighting each other, Qin Yu had begun refining Primordial Spirit Essence. From the very beginning, he had decided that all their efforts would be in vain.

...

"Thrilling, thrilling, those Independent Immortals and Independent Demons are so powerful, I can’t compete with them at all. I thought I had no hope at all. Unexpectedly, the situation turned around, and in the end, the Immortal Mansion turned out to be mine."

Qin Yu felt the unpredictability of life; he had already given up on the treasure, but who would have thought that he would eventually obtain it?

And at that moment—

Qin Yu felt a tremor in space, and then he found himself, who was originally in the sleeping chamber, standing not on a floor made of Primordial Spirit Stones, nor surrounded by carved beams and painted rafters, crystal walls, but surrounded by vast clouds and mist.

"What’s happened? Where’s Li’er?" Qin Yu was shocked, closely observing his surroundings which were completely devoid of all human traces.

There was only a path under Qin Yu’s feet, leading to both the left and right sides, the narrow path winding endlessly, with no end in sight. And before and behind him was nothing but vast white fog, sight impenetrable, even his Spiritual Sense could not penetrate it.

...

The Dragon Clan experts like Yan Lanshan and other experts, who were originally in the main hall, suddenly found, with a sudden shift in space, that everyone had disappeared from the Qingyu Immortal Mansion. When they came to their senses, each person found themselves standing on a narrow path.

This narrow path stretched to both left and right, able to accommodate two or three people side by side. However, front and back were enveloped in eerie fog, completely impenetrable to sight.

...

"Shui Rou, Shui Rou, where are you?" True Master Yue Yan found himself inexplicably on a narrow path, while True Master Shui Rou, who had been by his side, had now vanished, and he couldn’t see a second person anywhere.

At that moment, True Master Yue Yan’s face was full of anxiety, his Spiritual Sense unable to extend, only capable of calling out loudly.

******

Lady Yan Ji, Elder Qian Xu, Yan Mo, Green Dragon Yan Lang, Qin Yu, Li’er, Dragon Clan’s three great experts, True Master Shui Rou, True Master Yue Yan, and that early runaway Huo Can, also appeared on their respective narrow paths.

Huo Lan had been killed, Huo Can had fled, but Huo Can couldn’t leave the Nine Sword Immortal Mansion at all. In the end, the Restriction prearranged by Immortal Ni Yang automatically activated, including everyone, even Huo Lan, swept into a new place.

A narrow path.

With only the choice of going left or right, no other options, each person utterly alone.

As Yan Mo witnessed this scene, he calmly dealt with it. Whereas True Master Yue Yan and True Master Shui Rou worried about each other, full of concern. Elder Qian Xu, on the other hand, was carefully observing his surroundings, thinking about some ancient secret books of his Sect, pondering where this place might be.

The narrow path belonging to Qin Yu.

"Li’er is missing, everyone is missing, nine times out of ten it must be Immortal Ni Yang who used some Secret Technique Restriction unknown to me. Li’er has a Protective Dharma Treasure, she should be safer than I." Qin Yu worried deeply but could only comfort himself this way.

Looking closely around.

"Right, the Qingyu Immortal Mansion." Qin Yu was startled in his heart.

The Primordial Spirit Essence had been refined by him, so logically, the Qingyu Immortal Mansion should have been his as well. However, he hadn’t managed to incorporate it within the Primordial Spirit Essence. Moved by his intention, Qin Yu’s Spiritual Sense immediately submerged into the Primordial Spirit Essence.

A small and exquisite Immortal Mansion was inside the Primordial Spirit Essence.

At the moment the Restriction was activated, just as Qin Yu arrived at the new location, the Qingyu Immortal Mansion automatically entered within the Primordial Spirit Essence.

"Haha... congratulations, everyone–that Township Stele was just something I casually fabricated. To be honest, the Township Stele is fake; even refining it wouldn’t be successful. Oh, don’t tell me, many of you died over the battle for the Township Stele, did you?"

Whether it was Qin Yu, Lady Yan Ji, Elder Qian Xu, Yan Mo, Yan Lanshan, Yida, Huo Can, and others, everyone heard the voice echoing between heaven and earth.

"It’s Immortal Ni Yang!" At this moment, Qin Yu didn’t know whether to curse or what else to do.

This Immortal Ni Yang truly played them all in the palm of his hand.

Upon hearing this celestial voice, Lady Yan Ji was completely shaken, her heart filled with a mix of emotions, unsure of what to say, "Immortal Ni Yang, what a Immortal Ni Yang, so it turns out the Township Stele you had us kill each other over is actually fake!"

"Fake!"

Yan Lanshan, Yan Lanlei, Yan Lanxu, and Green Dragon Yan Lang all felt incredibly frustrated, but they also felt toyed with, thinking they had outsmarted everyone, yet still being played by this Immortal Ni Yang.

Huo Can was shocked, "Big Brother, you died such a wrongful death!"

Elder Qian Xu took a deep breath, struggling to control himself; he was already on the brink of madness. At this moment, he was seriously injured and couldn’t even fly, and his two junior brothers had been killed fighting over the Township Stele treasure.

"Immortal Ni Yang, you’re ruthless," Elder Qian Xu muttered under his breath.

After Immortal Ni Yang’s speech, everyone’s emotions were incredibly complicated.

In the midst of heaven and earth, the voice of Immortal Ni Yang continued, "Haha... Isn’t it exhilarating, clenching your teeth in anger, feeling wronged, haha... I, Ni Yang, enjoy being treated like this the most. That Qingyu Immortal Mansion, I truly left its real core, whether you get it depends on your own fortune."

All those words were left by Immortal Ni Yang long ago, and nobody knew which year he had disappeared.

A mere Immortal Mansion, was it worth Immortal Ni Yang staying to guard it? With the power of Immortal Ni Yang, a sweep of his Immortal Consciousness would reveal everything, wouldn’t it?

"Within the Qingyu Immortal Mansion, I left the source of the Restriction: one is the Township Stele, the other is the Primordial Spirit Essence, and that Primordial Spirit Essence is the real core of the entire mansion. If someone attempts to refine the Township Stele, once the refinement reaches its final stage, the Township Stele will automatically sink into the ground, and you all will be teleported here."

Lady Yan Ji, the masters of the Dragon Clan, all the Independent Immortals now realized that the real core was the Primordial Spirit Essence.

"If someone refines the Primordial Spirit Essence, and once they use the Qingyu Immortal Mansion’s Restriction to kill you, do not worry, you won’t die, because before the Attack Restriction is activated, my Restriction will automatically teleport you here. If they control the Township Stele to sink into the ground, you will still be teleported here."

Now, everyone finally understood why it was so.

However, even Lady Yan Ji and the others didn’t know if anyone had refined the Primordial Spirit Essence.

But they understood that it was only when the Township Stele sank into the ground that they were activated and transported here. There were two possibilities, one being that the Green Dragon Yan Lang refined the stele until it automatically sank into the ground, which then activated the Restriction and transported them here.

The second possibility was that the lucky person who refined the Primordial Spirit Essence controlled the Township Stele to sink into the ground, just as Green Dragon Yan Lang completed his refining—this was when the scene unfolded.

Nobody could be certain which of the truths was correct.

"So that’s how it is. If I hadn’t controlled the Township Stele to sink into the ground, I guess it would have happened automatically," Qin Yu finally understood the Restriction set by Immortal Ni Yang; fortunately, others at least couldn’t determine whether anyone had refined the Primordial Spirit Essence.

Lady Yan Ji and others consoled themselves, "Definitely not. Nobody knows what that Primordial Spirit Essence is; even if Huo Can, Qin Yu, and others outside the palace saw it, they wouldn’t recognize or refine it."

"My friends, I, Ni Yang, first congratulate you for passing the first trial. From now on, you have the opportunity to obtain a real Immortal Treasure, a treasure even more precious than the Qingyu Immortal Mansion by more than ten times!" the voice of Immortal Emperor Ni Yang echoed between heaven and earth.

All of them were shocked.

More precious than the Qingyu Immortal Mansion? And by more than ten times?

"The elders all guessed wrong. This time, the Nine Swords unlocking the Nine Sword Immortal Mansion, this might be the most incredible Immortal Mansion ever, even harboring a treasure more than ten times more valuable than the Qingyu Immortal Mansion; what kind of treasure could it be?" Yan Lanshan thought to himself.

All of them felt their hearts beating faster.

"Haha... Isn’t it exciting? As for what this treasure is, don’t rush. First, let me, Ni Yang, formally introduce myself," Immortal Ni Yang purposely paused.

The others were originally anticipating what treasure Immortal Ni Yang would reveal, but instead, he introduced himself. However... including Qin Yu, everyone was very curious about this Ni Yang, wondering who he truly was.

"I am Ni Yang, the Xian Jie Immortal Emperor, known as Immortal Emperor Ni Yang," Li Yang stated the first sentence.

An Immortal Emperor?

The crowd was astonished.

But they were soon even more thrilled; no wonder he didn’t care about such a precious Immortal Mansion. It turned out he was an Immortal Emperor! Now that they knew who Ni Yang was, everyone’s anticipation for the upcoming treasure increased even more.

"Just saying ’Immortal Emperor’ might not illustrate my prowess. Immortals are divided into three tiers, each tier having nine levels—Heavenly Immortal, Golden Immortal, and Profound Immortal, with vast differences between each tier," Immortal Emperor Ni Yang began explaining in detail, clearly feeling that these people did not comprehend his might.

"In the Immortal Realm, Heavenly Immortals are countless, but Heavenly Immortals are divided into nine levels, and only upon breaking through the ninth level does one become a First Level Golden Immortal. Golden Immortals are hundreds of times rarer than Heavenly Immortals, yet not considered rare. Rare are the Profound Immortals! Although Profound Immortals also span nine levels, whether one is a First Level Profound Immortal or the most powerful Ninth-level Profound Immortal, they all qualify to be called Immortal Emperors!"

Immortal Ni Yang explained very clearly.

"Therefore, in the Immortal Realm, there are many Profound Immortals who claim to be Immortal Emperors, with a significant disparity in strength. A First Level Profound Immortal who occupies a few planets dares to claim to be an Immortal Emperor, and a Sixth or Seventh Level Profound Immortal who dominates thousands or tens of thousands of Cultivation Planets also claims the same title. Although they are all Immortal Emperors, the difference is vast," Immortal Ni Yang’s tone conveyed a lack of regard for First Level Profound Immortals.

(This is the end of Chapter One. Writing this Chapter frustrated Fang Qie immensely; the brothers in his dormitory playing real-life football were shouting from time to time—it was truly noisy. Unfortunately, there’s nothing to be done; it’s only the first Chapter so far, and while there should have been a second update today, looking at the time, Fang Qie guesses it will be late at night before updating!)
