Stellar Transformation
Chapter 231: Level 37 Divine Beast
"So, this is my son’s savior, young brother Qin Yu," said the beautiful woman with a hint of heroic spirit in her eyes, smiling at Qin Yu.
Qin Yu knew that the woman before him was Lian Chong’s mother, the Second Island Master of Pengmo Island, the Twelfth Tribulation Independent Demon ’Hu Yi’.
Before arriving at Pengmo Island, Lian Chong had given him a detailed introduction to his parents. Just as Qin Yu was about to speak, Lian Chong said, "Mother, this is my good brother, Qin Yu. When I sent the Communication Order, I didn’t make it clear. At that time, you didn’t know that as I faced the Independent Demon Tribulation, I had exhausted all my power just to barely withstand the Five Heavenly Thunders. At that time, I had already despaired, but in that last moment, brother Qin Yu appeared and gave me a Life Creation Pill. Mother, you have no idea how amazing the effect of the Life Creation Pill is. The moment I ingested it, with one breath, all my power was restored."
The Second Island Master Hu Yi, and the Third Island Master Lian Xiao.
This couple had only learned through the Communication Order that a person named Qin Yu had saved their son, but they didn’t know the details as the order didn’t specify. They decided to wait until they met face to face to talk it over in detail.
"Chong’er," Hu Yi and Lian Xiao felt a shiver in their hearts upon hearing Lian Chong’s account.
Clearly, had Qin Yu been even a moment later, with the Sixth Heavenly Thunder striking down, they would have lost their son.
"Young brother Qin Yu, you saved my son, and you spent such a precious pill as the ’Life Creation Pill’. My wife and I truly cannot repay this great kindness. Please, young brother Qin Yu, first rest at my Asura Palace, allow Chong’er to accompany you, and tomorrow, my wife and I will certainly offer a substantial reward in gratitude," Hu Yi said earnestly.
To spend a Life Creation Pill, which is comparable to the ’Tribulation Spirit Pill’, to save their son’s life—what a tremendous act of kindness it was!
The Third Island Master Lian Xiao gave his wife a smile.
The two of them had actually prepared gifts to thank Qin Yu, but after hearing the details, they felt their gifts couldn’t measure up.
The Life Creation Pill, restoring all power in one breath.
Such a pill, during Tribulation Crossing, is akin to a second life. How precious is that? Just consider how seriously Lianyun Island regards the similarly effective ’Tribulation Spirit Pill’, and it becomes clear that, while the gifts prepared by the couple were precious, they paled in comparison to the Life Creation Pill.
With their status, they certainly wouldn’t give Qin Yu a gift that didn’t match the value of the ’Life Creation Pill’.
"Brother Qin Yu, come, follow me. I’ll show you around Pengmo Island," Lian Chong said, eager to take Qin Yu inside.
"Wait, where did this Qilin come from? Pengmo Island is not a place where just anyone can enter," one of the leaders of the two groups welcoming Lian Chong shouted at the Mo Qilin.
"Uncle Ya, that is the Spiritual Beast of my brother Qin Yu," Lian Chong sounded somewhat annoyed.
"Spiritual Beast?" Hu Yi and Lian Xiao were both taken aback.
Spiritual Beasts are not rare in the Immortal Demon Realm but are almost never seen in the Mortal World. This is because ’Spiritual Beast Rings’ are exceedingly uncommon.
"Father, mother, this Spiritual Beast was not easy for my brother Qin Yu to subdue. Of course, that was because he had a Spiritual Beast Ring. Otherwise, no matter how powerful he is, subduing a Spiritual Beast would be impossible," Lian Chong explained. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
"Spiritual Beast Ring." Hu Yi and Lian Xiao’s gaze toward Qin Yu shifted.
Life Creation Pill, Spiritual Beast Ring.
Even in the chaotic Chaotic Star Sea, there are only a few able to produce these, and yet Qin Yu, a young man who hasn’t even reached the Great Success Stage, has them. It makes one wonder about his background.
"Alright, brother Qin Yu, let’s go. I’ll take you for a good look around Pengmo Island," said Lian Chong, leading Qin Yu straight into the area of Pengmo Island.
Hu Yi and Lian Chong stood side by side in the air, watching their son and Qin Yu, their eyes shining with an enigmatic light.
"My lady, it seems... young brother Qin Yu has quite a few secrets," Lian Chong said with a smile.
Hu Yi nodded, slipping into contemplative thought, "Hmm... this Qin Yu is indeed mysterious, especially since he did not show a hint of fear or surprise when he first met us."
Who was Hu Yi? A Twelfth Tribulation Independent Demon, the Second Island Master of Pengmo Island. Normally, even Independent Immortals or Independent Demons who have passed five or six tribulations would tremble with fear in their hearts upon meeting Hu Yi, yet Qin Yu seemed to treat him like an ordinary person.
"Husband, stop overthinking it. Right now, we need to seriously consider what kind of gift to offer Qin Yu. The Life Creation Pill is akin to a second life—a treasure beyond measure. He saved our son’s life; what can we give him to express our gratitude?" Hu Yi was also troubled by this dilemma.
Even as the Second Island Master of Pengmo Island, he was troubled by this matter. After all, the other party had saved his son’s life, using up a Life Creation Pill.
The Third Island Master, Lian Xiao, also furrowed his brows.
What exactly should they give Qin Yu as a gift?
******
Meanwhile, Qin Yu was strolling around Pengmo Island with Lian Chong. Pengmo Island was vast, equivalent in size to the combined territory of the Three Great Dynasties of the Hidden Dragon Continent. However, it had a population of just over three thousand, making the population density extremely low.
Palaces and mansions, maze arrays, illusion arrays, killing arrays, absolute arrays...
Small bridges over running water, splendid and exquisite towers, pavilions, and terraces...
The Loose Cultivators on Pengmo Island were at least Sixth Tribulation strong; with a wave of their hands, they could excavate giant stones to construct palaces and cave mansions. On the outer regions of Pengmo Island, mansions and palaces of various styles were scattered about, along with some peculiar formations.
This was the outer perimeter of Pengmo Island, while the inner perimeter was something else altogether. Aside from one massive array that encompassed everything, there were no other formations—in essence, a peaceful haven removed from the world.
Stepping into the core area of Pengmo Island.
Qin Yu instantly felt the astonishing Primordial Spirit Qi.
"Haha, feeling astonished, Brother Qin Yu? The core area of Pengmo Island is a Primordial Spirit Stone Vein. These Primordial Spirit Stones are only found in the Mortal World’s Chaotic Star Sea, and the largest of these veins is at the heart of Pengmo Island. This is also the reason my great-uncle chose this as his dwelling," Lian Chong said proudly.
Qin Yu’s eyes lit up, and he began to ponder.
"Primordial Spirit Stone Vein? Does that mean... there should be Top-Grade Elemental Spirit Stones here?" Qin Yu’s heart warmed to the thought, "I possess Sword Immortal Puppets, but they require Top-Grade Primordial Spirit Stones to function; even Upper Grade Primordial Spirit Stones won’t do... However, the strength of the Sword Immortal Puppets is formidable—having one is like having a First Level Golden Immortal, and with two, I could wield the power of a Second-Level Golden Immortal."
In that moment, Qin Yu celebrated his fortune for having set foot on Pengmo Island.
"Brother Lian Chong, how extensive is this Primordial Spirit Stone Vein?" inquired Qin Yu.
After contemplating for a while, Lian Chong replied, "Look, the core area of Pengmo Island only spans a few hundred square miles, and the Primordial Spirit Stone Vein is probably only several tens of miles across."
Qin Yu was taken aback.
"Are you shocked?" Lian Chong asked with pride, "There are only a few veins in the whole Chaotic Star Sea; this is the biggest one. The smallest one is only a few miles long."
Inwardly, Qin Yu could only smile wryly.
The biggest one?
How big was Qingyu Immortal Mansion? The Qingyu Immortal Mansion spanned tens of thousands of kilometers in length and width, nearly matching the size of this vein. And the Qingyu Immortal Mansion was nothing more than a giant Primordial Spirit Original Stone from that massive Primordial Spirit Stone Vein.
Initially, Qin Yu, at the second floor of the Treasure Pavilion in the Nine Sword Immortal Mansion, had acquired a number of books and Jade Scrolls which detailed some basic knowledge.
Qin Yu understood something.
In the Immortal Realm, ordinary Primordial Spirit Stone Veins generally stretch for hundreds of miles, or even thousands of miles!
In the Immortal Realm, an area spanning several tens of miles is considered trivial and hardly worth mentioning. What is deemed insignificant in the Immortal Realm, however, would be acclaimed as the number one Primordial Spirit Stone Vein in the Mortal World.
"The smaller the vein, the fewer Primordial Spirit Stones will be mined from it, and the lower the grade of the high-grade stones," Qin Yu was very clear about this principle. He immediately asked Lian Chong, "Brother Lian Chong, has a Top-Grade Primordial Spirit Stone ever been mined from this vein?"
"Top-Grade?" Lian Chong’s eyes widened.
"Brother Qin Yu, do you know that for Loose Cultivators, even a Low Grade Primordial Spirit Stone is extremely precious. A Middle Grade Primordial Spirit Stone is equivalent to 100 Low Grade Primordial Spirit Stones, an Upper Grade Primordial Spirit Stone is equivalent to 100 Middle Grade Primordial Spirit Stones, and a Top-Grade Primordial Spirit Stone is equivalent to a hundred Upper Grade Primordial Spirit Stones. Do you understand the significance of a Top-Grade Primordial Spirit Stone?" Lian Chong nearly shouted at Qin Yu.
Of course, Qin Yu knew the preciousness of Top-Grade Primordial Spirit Stones.
Ordinary small Primordial Spirit Stone Veins like the one that is only tens of miles long, might not even yield a single Top-Grade Primordial Spirit Stone. Of course, there’s also a possibility for them to be mined.
According to the introductions in the books about the Immortal Realm that Qin Yu obtained: It was possible to mine Primordial Spirit Stones from a small vein that was a hundred miles long.
A thousand-mile-long vein might yield a dozen or so Top-Grade Primordial Spirit Stones, or even dozens of them.
As for those that were ten thousand miles in length, they would have Primordial Spirit Essence.
Primordial Spirit Essence, is worth 100 Top-Grade Primordial Spirit Stones.
From this, one could imagine just how rare and scarce the massive Primordial Spirit Stone capable of being carved into the Qingyu Immortal Mansion was, and how extremely precious it was even in the Immortal Realm.
"I understand the importance of Top-Grade Primordial Spirit Stones; I just want to know if any have been mined," Qin Yu asked.
Lian Chong pondered for a moment: "Well... they have been mined. It’s been several thousand years, and I once saw my uncle show me a Top-Grade Primordial Spirit Stone, but after that, he never showed it to me again, nor do I know where he put it."
Qin Yu’s eyes lit up.
Having some was good.
In Qin Yu’s Qingyu Immortal Mansion, the rockery, fountains, buildings, and even the warehouses contained a huge amount of Primordial Spirit Stones, even including Upper Grade ones, but none were Top-Grade.
He could exchange a large number of Upper Grade Primordial Spirit Stones, or trade with a Spiritual Beast Ring, Middle Grade Immortal Artifacts. Or he could exchange with... Life Creation Pills!
...
Inside the Asura Palace.
The Asura Palace and the Golden Feather Hall faced each other across the lake, both majestic in construction, and Qin Yu was currently placed in a refined two-story building within the Asura Palace.
In the grand hall on the first floor of this small building, Lian Chong hurried over to Qin Yu excitedly.
"Haha, Brother Qin Yu, good news, my uncle is very curious about you, he asked me to bring you to the Golden Feather Hall to meet him tomorrow," Lian Chong said excitedly.
"The Island Master of Pengmo Island?" Qin Yu asked in return.
Lian Chong nodded and his expression became more serious: "Brother Qin Yu, there’s something I must warn you about before we go. My uncle is very proud, and if you anger him, even I cannot save you."
Qin Yu knew that experts typically had their own peculiarities.
"Remember, when you see my uncle, do not address him as Island Master, call him ’Senior Zong.’" Lian Chong spoke with resolve.
"Senior Zong?" Qin Yu was puzzled.
"Yes, my uncle doesn’t like being called Island Master. His name is ’Zong Jue,’ and if you call him Senior Zong, he will be quite pleased. That’s the first thing," Lian Chong carefully advised.
Qin Yu smiled wryly to himself: "That’s just the first thing? It seems this Island Master of Pengmo Island really does have quite the eccentricities."
"Second thing, don’t be too humble in your attitude. To grovel and kowtow is what my uncle hates the most," Lian Chong continued.
"Interesting, interesting, your uncle is certainly interesting," Qin Yu chuckled. Suddenly, he felt that this legendary invincible expert was indeed very special.
Lian Chong spoke mysteriously: "Hey, Brother Qin Yu, do you know why this island is called Pengmo Island?"
"Why?"
"Hey, Pengmo Island, the ’Demon’ character is due to my parents, and the ’Peng’ is because of my uncle’s true form, the Super Divine Beast—the Golden Winged Great Peng Bird," Lian Chong said with a gleam in his eyes.
"Golden Winged Great Peng Bird, Super Divine Beast? There are super ranks among Divine Beasts?"
Qin Yu had always been curious about the ranking of Divine Beasts. For example, he knew Black Dragons were more powerful than Azure Dragons, but what were the differences among Divine Beasts themselves?
"Ha, Brother Qin Yu, you’re unaware of the hierarchy among Divine Beasts. Well... I’ll explain it to you. There are four levels of Divine Beasts," Lian Chong spoke freely.
Qin Yu was listening carefully.
"For example, the Dragon Clan’s Azure Dragon, Red Dragon, Blue Dragon, and the majority of other Divine Beasts are considered Lower Level Divine Beasts. These constitute ninety percent of all Divine Beasts."
"Black Dragons, Silver Dragons, Three-eyed Green-eyed Toads, Dragon Rock Lions, Fire Rock Lions, Zhe Chu, Nine-Headed Snakes, and similar beasts are Intermediate Divine Beasts."
"Golden Dragons, Sky-reaching Rats, and the like are Upper Level Divine Beasts. Upper Level Divine Beasts are already considered extremely rare and precious. They possess Inheritance Memories and their strength is incomparably formidable."
Lian Chong took a deep breath.
"Finally, there are the Super Divine Beasts which are the rarest in number!"
Qin Yu focused all his attention on this.
"Divine Beasts are separated into categories of birds, land-dwelling, and scaled. Among the birds, there are the Golden Winged Great Peng Bird, Phoenix , and apparently two or three others, but my uncle hasn’t told me," Lian Chong said.
Hearing this, Qin Yu understood that the knowledge about Divine Beasts was told to Lian Chong by the Island Master of Pengmo Island.
"Within the scaled category, there’s only one Super Divine Beast—the Five-clawed Golden Dragon from the Dragon Clan, I’m certain of this," Lian Chong said with a smile, "Lastly, there are several kinds of Super Divine Beasts within the land-dwelling category. The only one I know of is the Fire Qilin. The Fire Qilin, like the Phoenix, is naturally born from flames."
