Stellar Transformation-Chapter 574: Episode 16 - 35 Entrusted by Others

The method of selection had been set, and the people in the great hall began to converse with each other.

"Going to the Mountain and Sea Palace to seek the gifts bestowed by the Heavenly Venerable?" Duanmu Yu smiled lightly, shaking his head before raising his cup and drinking the wine within.

"Brother Duanmu, does the Heavenly Venerable often appear in the Mountain and Sea Palace?" Qin Yu asked.

Qin Yu indeed didn’t know much about the Mountain and Sea Palace.

Duanmu Yu continued to smile and shake his head, "No, the Three Great Venerable Sovereigns are figures of legend, and they are very difficult to meet. The Mountain and Sea Palace is the only publicly known residence of the three Venerables. The likelihood of the Three Great Venerable Sovereigns appearing in the Mountain and Sea Palace is also very low. However... as soon as we arrive at the Mountain and Sea Palace, the Three Great Venerable Sovereigns will surely be aware."

Qin Yu understood this point too.

The Mountain and Sea Palace was equivalent to a dwelling of the Three Great Venerable Sovereigns.

Others had come to the dwelling of the Three Great Venerable Sovereigns; how could the Venerables not be aware?

"Every action we take in the Mountain and Sea Palace will surely be known to the Three Great Venerable Sovereigns. If we can receive the gifts they bestow, then we would be considered successful," Marquis Kui Yin also spoke up, then turned to Zhou Xian with a smile, "Brother Zhou, this first slot for contention is quite in your favor, isn’t it?"

Marquis Kui Yin had lived in the Divine World for a very long time and knew much more than Qin Yu. Of course, he was aware of the identity of the Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerable.

"It’s hard to say. Once one becomes a Venerable, their temperament is beyond our ability to predict. It’s difficult to determine whether I can receive a gift or not," Zhou Xian said modestly.

"Come, let’s not talk about that. There are three slots after all, and we can strive for them later. For now, let’s drink," Marquis Kui Yin said with a big laugh.

...

Within Piaoyun Mansion.

The three brothers, Qin Yu, Hou Fei, and Hei Yu, were gathered together. After the banquet ended, Qin Yu used divine sense transmission to have Uncle Lan send Hei Yu back, allowing the three brothers Qin Yu, Hou Fei, and Hei Yu to reunite.

"You both cultivate so quickly; I’m actually the slowest among us," Hei Yu pretended to frown and said.

At this moment, Qin Yu and Hou Fei were at the Upper Heavenly God Realm, while Hei Yu alone was at the Middle Level Heavenly God Realm.

"I know about Little Black’s cultivation speed. Little Black, you stayed in Mu Mansion for nearly six thousand years, and that’s equivalent to six million years in the Third Layer of the Jiang Lan Realm. Reaching the peak of the Middle Level Heavenly God from a Lower Heavenly God in six million years is already quite fast," Qin Yu nodded and said.

"But Feifei, your cultivation speed..." Qin Yu looked at Hou Fei.

Hei Yu’s cultivation method was indeed special, able to comprehend the Time Law so quickly.

Qin Yu’s clone was comprehending the space understanding left by the Life God King all the time, so a fast speed was also normal. But what about Hou Fei?

They had only separated near Wei Chi City nearly ten thousand years ago. And yet, Hou Fei had already reached the Upper Heavenly God Realm; such speed was astonishing.

"Haha, speaking of that, I’m a bit perplexed too," Hou Fei scratched his head, "At the beginning, I was taken away by that senior from our Monkey Clan, but after arriving at the Asura Sea? In less than a year, the Asura God King came and said he wanted to take me as his disciple. That senior from the Monkey Clan was very happy to hand me over to the Asura God King."

Qin Yu and Hei Yu listened carefully.

As Hou Fei continued, he blinked, "Then, this Asura God King directly set up a space that accelerated time by a factor of ten thousand. A ten-thousand-year span within that space was just one year outside. Although it seemed like I cultivated for only nearly ten thousand years, in reality, it was close to a hundred million years. Throughout these nearly hundred million years, I was personally instructed by the Asura God King."

Qin Yu and Hei Yu exchanged glances, unable to help but admire Hou Fei’s good fortune.

Suddenly, Qin Yu became puzzled.

"That’s not right," Qin Yu frowned, "Feifei, as far as I know, if someone sets up a space with a time difference, that space will be very unstable and prone to collapse. It’s challenging to stabilize such a space. The greater the time ratio difference, the more difficult it is to stabilize."

Qin Yu looked at Hou Fei, "But I just heard from you that the Asura God King directly set up a space, not using a Space Divine Artifact, right?"

"Yes, it was a space set up directly, I’m certain," Hou Fei nodded firmly.

"To maintain a space with a time ratio of ten thousand for ten thousand years... that’s incredibly hard to believe," Qin Yu expressed his disbelief.

Uncle Lan, when refining the ’Jiang Lan Realm,’ managed at most a thousand-fold time ratio.

"Indeed, he is worthy of being the first Divine King," Qin Yu marveled inwardly; the Asura God King was indeed extraordinary.

Hei Yu suddenly said, "Hey, monkey, what I’m curious about is why that Asura God King would take you as a disciple out of the blue and maintain a space with a ten-thousand-fold time ratio for nearly ten thousand years? What is he after?"

Upon hearing this from Hei Yu, Qin Yu also became curious.

What was this Asura God King after?

"I’m also curious, and I’ve asked the Asura God King—that is, my master," Hou Fei seemed a bit unaccustomed to calling the Asura God King ’master’.

"How did the Asura God King respond to you?" Qin Yu immediately inquired.

A hint of confusion appeared in Hou Fei’s eyes, "At that time, the Asura God King didn’t say much. He just said one sentence... ’entrusted by someone else’!"

Qin Yu and Hei Yu looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion.

Entrusted by someone else?

Someone asked the Asura God King to take care of Hou Fei’s training?

And who might that person be?

In the entire Divine World, how many were eligible for the Asura God King to offer his help? Furthermore, the Asura God King was willing to maintain a space for as long as ten thousand years.

"The likes of the Asura God King would hardly stoop to lying. Yet the person who pulled him in, who could that be? This secret, I’m afraid only Feifei can uncover by himself," Qin Yu said with a smile as he looked towards Hou Fei.

Hou Fei helplessly said, "I know that myself. The Asura God King has said that when I reach the God King Realm one day, he will tell me. Sigh, what a hassle. The God King Realm, does he think it’s something trivial? That it’s so easily achieved?"

"Monkey, let’s not talk about this anymore. Big Brother is going to set off for the Mountain and Sea Palace tomorrow," Hei Yu said with a smile as he looked towards Qin Yu. "Big Brother, only eighteen people are going to the Mountain and Sea Palace, and we cannot accompany you."

To go to the Mountain and Sea Palace, only the eighteen participants of the marital competition were allowed, and no others could disturb them.

"The Mountain and Sea Palace?"

Qin Yu said in a low voice, "This first spot, no matter what, I will do my utmost to seize it." For this marital competition, Qin Yu was bound to win and not allowed to fail.

******

After passing through the Transmission Array below Northern Pole Snow City, Qin Yu and his companions were directly sent to the Transmission Array at the northernmost edge of the Divine World Continent.

A group of people gathered on the North Coast.

Further north was the vast and boundless ocean, where the sound of crashing waves against the coast could be heard not far away.

The Northern Pole Holy Emperor Jiang Fan said loudly to the eighteen competitors, "Gentlemen, each round of competition will give everyone ten years to prepare. After ten years, I and the other Divine Kings will wait for you in Snow City. If anyone is late, they will be deemed to have forfeited this round of competition."

From here to the Mountain and Sea Palace, there were no Transmission Arrays.

To go, one could only fly.

Just the round-trip flight would take several months. Plus, trying one’s luck in the Mountain and Sea Palace required a considerable amount of time. Ten years was not considered lengthy.

"Is everyone ready?" The Holy Emperor asked with a smile, "Well then, gentlemen, you may begin your journey. Remember one thing, ten years from today, you must return to Snow City. You can arrive early, but not late!"

"Your Majesty, we bid you farewell."

The crowd bowed and saluted one by one, then stood on their weapons and flew swiftly towards the north. Qin Yu, however, stood on the Residual Snow Divine Spear.

The Residual Snow Divine Spear, just by its appearance, was difficult even for a Divine King to judge its power.

"Xuanhuang Energy, I guess Divine Kings have not seen it, either," Qin Yu thought to himself. Without having seen Xuanhuang Energy, how could they know the terrifying power of a weapon infused with it?

Standing on the Residual Snow Divine Spear, Qin Yu flew at an extremely high speed.

And Duanmu Yu was the only one who kept pace with Qin Yu, while others fell behind.

Below was the endless ocean, with its surging waves. Qin Yu and Duanmu Yu were conversing and laughing while flying rapidly towards the Mountain and Sea Palace.

In the blink of an eye, nearly two months had passed.

After nearly two months of interaction, the relationship between Qin Yu and Duanmu Yu had greatly improved.

"Brother Qin Yu, don’t set your hopes too high for this round of competition; Zhou Xian’s advantage is too apparent. The greater your hopes, the greater the disappointment," Duanmu Yu said to Qin Yu with a smile.

Qin Yu always felt that Duanmu Yu, no matter what he said or did, seemed not to care much. He wasn’t bothered by failure, nor would he care too much about success.

It was as if...

Nothing could stir his anger or shock him.

"Brother Duanmu, I want to ask, if you don’t get any of the three spots, what will you do?" Qin Yu asked Duanmu Yu.

Duanmu Yu smiled indifferently, "Why ask that question? If I fail, then I fail, what’s the big deal? Moreover, is failure definitely a failure? Gaining some insight from failure can also count as a success. So, success and failure are not absolutes."

Qin Yu couldn’t help but shake his head and smile wryly.

"What’s your pursuit of Li’er for?" Qin Yu pressed on.

This time Duanmu Yu fell silent for a moment before saying, "Seeking a breakthrough, hoping to reach the God King Realm, I guess."

A wave of depression washed over Qin Yu’s heart.

Indeed...

Even Duanmu Yu, who Qin Yu thought highly of, pursued Li’er in the hope of becoming a God King.

"Brother Qin Yu, we’ve arrived at the Mountain and Sea Palace," Duanmu Yu suddenly spoke up.

Qin Yu looked ahead and saw numerous islands scattered and clustered together around the Mountain and Sea Palace. With the name ’Thousand Islands’, the true number of these islands, however, was more than three thousand.

Qin Yu and Duanmu Yu, shooting across the sky like two rainbow lights, flew straight towards the central island among these three thousand or so islands where the Mountain and Sea Palace was located.
