Stellar Transformation-Chapter 591: Episode 16 - 52 Zixuan Mansion

The light was dazzling, and the entire Mirror Light City shone like a constant star. Yet stepping into Mirror Light City, one would find it as warm as spring and quite comfortable.

Mingyu Mansion!

A new Mingyu Mansion had been erected in the South Pole Mirror Light City, precisely because Duanmu Yu had ascended to the Divine King Realm, and thus could openly establish his mansion and recruit a number of disciples.

"Hall Master Mingyu has just established his residence, and it is said he is recruiting only six disciples. Imagine that, so many wish to become disciples of Hall Master Mingyu," a Heavenly God whispered to his companion outside the Mingyu Mansion.

His companion nodded and replied, "Our team leader is also participating. It is said that in the selection competition for disciples, there were more than ten Upper Heavenly Gods alone."

"It seems that these six disciples will all be Upper Heavenly Gods," the other Heavenly God nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Zhou Xian, accompanied by two attendants, had already arrived outside Mingyu Mansion. Naturally, he heard the conversation between the two Heavenly Gods nearby.

Looking towards Mingyu Mansion, a cold light flashed in Zhou Xian’s eyes, "Upper Heavenly Gods all wish to serve Duanmu Yu as servants, and my attendants... the only two Upper Heavenly Gods I have were ordered by my imperial father to stay by my side."

Upper Heavenly Gods generally sought to take a step further, and could only do so by staying close to a Divine King.

As for Zhou Xian? Were it not for his identity, who among the Upper Heavenly Gods would willingly heed his commands?

"One day, I too will have those Upper Heavenly Gods begging to become my disciples," Zhou Xian sternly vowed in his heart, then immediately put on a fake smile and walked to the entrance of Mingyu Mansion.

"Go inform your master that Zhou Xian of Thunder Punishment City has come to visit."

...

Merely half an hour later, Zhou Xian came out from Mingyu Mansion, and naturally, he did not look too pleased.

"My lord?" The two attendants asked in a low voice.

"Back to Thunder Punishment City!" Zhou Xian commanded coldly, with thunder flashing in his eyes, "I didn’t expect that Duanmu Yu would actually give the Illusion Spirit Mirror to Qin Yu... Now, to win the second slot..."

Zhou Xian’s frown deepened even more.

******

Inside the Holy Emperor Hall of Thunder Punishment City.

"Father, that’s the situation. It seems that my chances of winning the second slot have now become slim. As for the third slot, Qin Yu is already an Artifact Refining Master, and now also the new owner of the Mishen Palace. If he offers a second-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure, it should be possible. The likelihood of me obtaining the third slot is not great, so to win the hand of my cousin, I must secure the second slot," Zhou Xian stood beside his imperial father, Zhou Huo.

Zhou Huo nodded slightly, then fell into a contemplative silence.

Zhou Xian could only wait quietly by the side.

"Father?" Zhou Xian, somewhat anxious, couldn’t help but call out softly.

"You go back first," Zhou Huo waved his hand, then suddenly turned and looked at Zhou Xian, "How is the ’Nine Phoenix Crown’, our backup gift in case we didn’t get the Illusion Spirit Mirror, coming along?"

Zhou Xian nodded and replied, "Everything is in preparation. We’ve dispatched hundreds of Heavenly Gods to the Lower Realm to search for materials. It will definitely be completed before the ten-year deadline."

"Good," Zhou Huo nodded slightly, "For now, you focus on the matter of the ’Nine Phoenix Crown’. As for the second slot, I’ll find a way to secure it for you."

"Yes, Father," Zhou Xian bowed and withdrew.

A moment later...

Zhou Huo instantly moved, leaving the Northwest Thunder Punishment City.

******

Among the eighteen suitors participating in the contest for marriage, Duanmu Yu had become a Divine King and withdrawn from the contest, leaving seventeen suitors, each of whom was also diligently preparing their gifts.

Marquis Kui Yin, Shen Tufan, and other experts, backed by significant forces, were also hard at work preparing their gifts.

Northern Pole Snow City.

Qin Yu had given strict orders to Uncle Fu not to entertain any visitors during his few years of seclusion. Immediately after, Qin Yu entered the New Universe to begin his most serene preparations.

...

Within the New Universe, on Purple Dark Star.

Qin Yu stood suspended in the void, surrounded by a vast array of material ingredients hovering above him, all of which were prepared for constructing a mansion.

With his eyes closed, Qin Yu clearly envisioned the entire model of the mansion in his mind, along with the detailed composition of each part and the methods of refining.

"Roar—" Black Divine Fire and White Pure Fire intertwined like two dragons playing with a pearl, instantly sweeping up two-thirds of the materials.

"The main material for the mansion, Green Nightmare Stone," Qin Yu suddenly surged in size, turning into a hundred-foot tall giant with his Vortex Breaking Hammer lengthening hundreds of times. The black table in front of him also expanded by the same magnitude.

With one strike of the hammer,

"Boom!"

The space quaked as a vortex-shaped hurricane swept up a large amount of Green Nightmare Stone, ingeniously mixed with the White Pure Fire and Black Divine Fire.

The pounding of the Vortex Breaking Hammer, loud as thunder, fast as lightning, saw Qin Yu effortlessly refining and purifying the ample Green Nightmare Stone.

Qin Yu even closed his eyes, relying purely on the keen sensation of his spirit to judge the impurities, the melting points, vaporization temperatures, and so on.

Everything was under his control.

As time passed, after more than three years, the basic shape of the mansion was finally crafted from Green Nightmare Stone.

"Now, it is time for some finishing touches for the entire mansion," Qin Yu said with a slight smile.

To be exact, the structure made from Green Nightmare Stone could only be considered a rough embryo. The most intricate and important part of the work was yet to come.

One by one, materials flew to the table in front of Qin Yu.

Qin Yu returned to his normal size and began the complex refining process... As time flew by, the entire mansion began to transform gradually.

The mansion’s walls were no longer a monotone Green Nightmare Stone color. Superimposed on its surface was a massive, intricate pattern.

The eastern half of the mansion displayed scenes of erupting flames, while the western half depicted a wintry landscape of ice and snow.

...

After completing the external decorative elements, it was time to adorn the interior. With Qin Yu, the Artifact Refining Master, at work, all sorts of imagined scenes were meticulously created.

"Haha," Qin Yu laughed heartily, pointing to the garden area with a single hand, which suddenly prompted thousands of peculiar flowers to bloom in competition.

As the master of the New Universe, Qin Yu could incorporate any imaginable material or plants into the mansion he was refining.

The possibilities were endless.

The entire mansion, under Qin Yu’s renovation, became increasingly perfect.

Various decorative items also played a ’finishing touch’ role, with Qin Yu’s nearly pinnacle Artifact Refining technique, making the entire mansion all the more perfect.

Three thousand two hundred and twenty-three years.

It took such a long time for Qin Yu to refine this mansion, which was much longer than he had originally anticipated.

Qin Yu gazed into the distance at the mansion floating in mid-air.

The exterior of the mansion was enveloped in a thin layer of flames, with cold qi lingering around. On the walls of the mansion’s courtyard, varied flowers and branches vied to reach beyond the walls.

What was most astonishing was the aura that signified a Heavenly Divine Artifact.

Walking anywhere within this mansion, one could sense the rich presence of a Heavenly Divine Artifact. Yes... Within the entire mansion, there were hundreds of important decorative items. These ornaments were all crafted by Qin Yu from rare materials.

The materials were rare because Qin Yu pursued practicality and decorative effect. In the arrangement of materials, there was no effort made to refine these items from particularly precious materials.

Initially, Qin Yu was able to refine Low Grade Heavenly Divine Weapons from ordinary materials. Over more than three thousand years, most of the decorative items he refined were Middle Grade Heavenly Divine Artifacts, with quite a few being Upper Grade Heavenly Divine Artifacts.

A single mansion containing several hundreds of Middle Grade Heavenly Divine Artifacts, along with tens of Upper Grade Heavenly Divine Artifacts, was indeed shocking.

Beyond that, inside the mansion, there were three whole worlds. They were a ’Miniature Divine Realm’ whose main body was a pool forest, an ’Immortal Demon World’ whose main body was a mural, and a ’Mortal Realm Purple Dark Star’ whose main body was a pavilion inside an Inner Lake.

This was indeed a grand gesture.

Only because Qin Yu possessed the Divine Skills of ’Array Space’ could he arrange this so effortlessly. The other two Artifact Refining Masters, however, did not have such capabilities.

A slight smile appeared on Qin Yu’s face. Many of the arrangements within the mansion contained Qin Yu’s memories. The entire mansion was divided into three major areas.

The Miniature Divine Realm was in the first area.

The ’Immortal Demon World’, with its main body as a mural, was in the second area.

In the mansion, there was a lake, which made up the third area, with the ’Mortal Realm Purple Dark Star’ located in this area.

Most of the decorations in each area had some special stories. For instance, in the third area, the palace at the bottom of the Inner Lake was modeled after the ’Star Palace’ in the Mortal World.

For example, the second area had some carvings, and the scenes depicted included Emperor Yu and Wu Lan battling.

...

"Let’s call this mansion Zixuan Mansion," Qin Yu was still most emotionally attached to his hometown, Zixuan Star, where he met Li’er and embarked on the path of cultivation.

"Zixuan Mansion itself can be considered a colossal Heavenly Divine Artifact, nearly half of the materials used were obtained from East Pole Xuanjin Mountain, and a vast amount of materials were from the past reserves of Mishen Palace. Inside Zixuan Mansion, there are no fewer than sixty-two Upper Grade Heavenly Divine Artifacts as decorations."

Qin Yu indeed made a huge investment this time.

A large amount of rare materials were taken out by Qin Yu in one go. These materials could actually have been refined into many offensive Upper Grade Heavenly Divine Artifacts. However, Qin Yu instead chose to refine them into decorative items.

Although many were also of Upper Grade Heavenly Divine Artifact caliber, their attack power was not up to mark.

The reason was simple.

Could a lamp made of the same iron compare in attack power to an iron War Saber?

Even if they were of the same grade, unfortunately, when Qin Yu refined them, it was for the sake of decoration.

"In the Divine World, has anyone produced so many Upper Grade Heavenly Divine Artifact decorations?" Qin Yu was also quite confident in himself, "Most importantly, that Illusion Spirit Mirror is just one of the mirrors in the bedroom that Li’er and I will share in the future within Zixuan Mansion."

Qin Yu’s simple arrangement.

Let the Illusion Spirit Mirror become a part of the Zixuan Mansion.

"I refuse to believe that with all these combined, I still won’t secure the second spot," Qin Yu walked through the Zixuan Mansion with a smile on his face.

Taking a deep breath, Qin Yu waved his hand and put away the Zixuan Mansion.

******

Having successfully refined the Zixuan Mansion, Qin Yu’s next task was to craft the most suitable weapons for his brothers, Feifei and Little Black.

"To forge the ultimate weapons, relying solely on Gold Element Heavy Water as a quenching medium is not enough," thought Qin Yu.

From a distance, a streak of light approached; it was Green Robed Qin Yu. The clone bowed slightly towards Qin Yu and said, "Master!"

"You’ll be responsible for the quenching process," said Qin Yu with a smile.

His clone was in tune with his spirit. What Qin Yu knew, the clone knew. What the clone came to understand, Qin Yu would naturally comprehend. They were one and the same.

Qin Yu turned his hand and took out the most precious materials from the Mishen Palace, which he had prepared for crafting artifacts for Hou Fei and Hei Yu.

"Let’s begin."

With a wave of his hand, the Vortex Breaking Hammer appeared in Qin Yu’s grasp, and flames naturally shot out from his left hand.

...

The days spent with Little Black during their childhood were vivid in Qin Yu’s mind. The two were as close as real brothers, and Qin Yu focused all his attention on crafting the artifacts.

Hou Fei, with his carefree nature, played and frolicked with Qin Yu, and those scenes of fighting with others in the Overseas Cultivation World back when they were in the Mortal World, Qin Yu remembered them all too clearly.

...

The sound of hammering was constant. Every strike Qin Yu made was filled with emotion and confidence. Everything was going perfectly.

Artifact Embryo, Quenching, Enlightenment.

During the three major stages, the only weakness was the quenching, as it was his first time using Cold Mist Energy, which was somewhat feeble. The other two aspects, however, were extremely perfect.

******

One spear and one staff, both of their entire bodies were a dark cyan color.

"These two weapons actually both have two special effects," Qin Yu rejoiced in his heart. The spear he crafted for Hei Yu came with ’Penetration’ and ’Breaking Space’, two auxiliary effects. Hou Fei’s staff, on the other hand, had ’Blast’ and ’Heavy Scale’ as special effects.

"Although neither have the ’Soul Devouring’ special effect, possessing two auxiliary effects makes them nearly as powerful as a second-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure," Qin Yu found delight in his heart.

With just a thought, the remaining ninety percent of the Xuanhuang Energy appeared out of thin air, and the dark cyan spear and staff directly flew into it.

"After fully absorbing the energy, these two weapons should be almost as powerful as the Residual Snow Divine Spear," Qin Yu turned to his clone, Green Robed Qin Yu.

Green Robed Qin Yu was already seated cross-legged in the air, quietly cultivating.

Qin Yu himself also sat cross-legged beside, a seven-colored light flew out from Green Robed Qin Yu and merged into Qin Yu’s mind. Qin Yu too quietly began to comprehend the remaining Space Law.

A principal self and a clone, just like that, quietly cultivated...
