Stellar Transformation-Chapter 599: Episode 16 - 60 The New Artisan God

Chapter Two!

———————

Red Cloud Covering the Sky, Spiritual Treasure Thunder descends.

The news of the birth of a First-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure didn’t need to spread, anyone who was clear about the event of Artisan God Che Hou Yuan creating a First-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure knew...

In the Divine World, another First-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure had been born.

"A First-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure? It’s in Snow City!" Inside Thunder Punishment City, Zhou Xian looked towards Snow City, his eyes filled with complex emotion, "Could it be, could it be that Qin Yu..."

The matter was very simple, other than the missing Artisan God Che Hou Yuan, there were only three Artifact Refining Masters in the Divine World. Among them, Duanmu Feng and Ou Yezi were in Thunder Punishment City.

This new First-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure could only be refined by Qin Yu, or, by Che Hou Yuan should he appear again.

Whether it was Che Hou Yuan or Qin Yu who refined it, it didn’t matter much. After all, Qin Yu was the new master of Mishen Palace and can be considered the inheritor of Che Hou Yuan. Even if Che Hou Yuan were the one refining it, he was probably doing it to help Qin Yu.

"Father." Zhou Xian looked toward his father, Zhou Huo.

Zhou Huo’s expression was complex, he quietly said, "You stay here; I will go to Snow City and see what’s happening."

"Yes, Father." Zhou Xian could only maintain his determination in his heart, no matter what he would not give up until the very end. At this moment, the two Artifact Refining Masters who were still inside the space maintained by Zhou Huo had no idea about what was happening outside.

In the space created by Zhou Huo, they couldn’t see anything that was happening in the Divine World.

******

Not only Northwest Saint Emperor Zhou Huo, but East Pole Holy Emperor Huangfu Yu, Asura God King, South Pole Saint Emperor... one by one, powerhouses were all heading toward Snow City.

A First-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure was enough to move the hearts of almost all Divine Kings in the Divine World.

Northern Pole Snow City, at this moment, became the place with the most Divine Kings gathered, with over half of the Divine Kings in the entire Divine World converging here.

Inside the Mu Mansion.

"That scepter?" As soon as Jiang Lan walked over, his gaze was fixed on the scepter floating midair, but Qin Yu merely extended one hand and retracted the scepter.

Jiang Lan looked at Qin Yu with a smile on his face, "Qin Yu, is that scepter the new First-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure?"

"Indeed." Qin Yu nodded slightly.

Regarding Jiang Lan, Qin Yu had a rather good impression, especially since in the Northern Pole Holy Emperor Palace, Jiang Lan had been supportive of him, particularly during the last event where Jiang Lan had explicitly taken his side.

"I wonder who refined this First-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure?" Jiang Lan probed, naturally aware of the relationship between Qin Yu and Che Hou Yuan. He speculated whether it could be Che Hou Yuan helping Qin Yu.

Standing to the side, Little Yu laughed and said, "This scepter was personally refined by Little Yu himself."

"Oh?" Jiang Lan’s gaze toward Qin Yu suddenly brightened.

The new Artisan God!

In Jiang Fan’s heart, Qin Yu’s status immediately soared, and Jiang Fan’s gaze then fell on Jiang Li, who stood next to Qin Yu looking somewhat uneasy.

"Oh, Li’er, you’re here too. It seems you’ve already become familiar with Qin Yu," Jiang Fan said with a smile. At this moment, Jiang Fan increasingly hoped that Qin Yu would become his son-in-law.

Having a new Artisan God as his son-in-law, what a wonderful thing that would be.

A new Artisan God, what does that imply? It implies that his Northern Pole Snow City might obtain a new first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure! Of course, sufficient materials, enough Hongmeng Spiritual Energy, and Qin Yu being in exceptionally good condition during the Artifact Refining process are needed. Although it’s difficult for all three conditions to be met simultaneously, there is hope, isn’t there?

"Grand Uncle, Second Uncle," a young man in a purple robe came in.

It was Snow City’s third Divine King, ’Jiang Xing.’ A second-generation descendant of the Jiang Family, Jiang Xing had attained the God King Realm—his determination and talent were truly astounding.

"Just now, I saw the Red Cloud Covering the Sky, and then the Spiritual Treasure Thunder descended upon our Snow City. I kept thinking that in the entire Snow City, aside from Brother Qin Yu, I fear there’s no one else who could refine a first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure." Jiang Xing was quite enthusiastic indeed, a dignified Divine King now addressing him as ’Brother Qin Yu.’

In the Divine World, all Divine Kings treat an Artisan God as an equal and show them great respect.

Because, all Divine Kings desire a first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure.

Those who have one want a second, and those who don’t have any naturally desire it even more. It’s not hard to understand the status of an Artisan God. Ever since Artisan God Che Hou Yuan disappeared, many Divine Kings were disappointed. The birth of a new Artisan God has once again given many Divine Kings hope.

Having a first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure means being among the top existences of the many Divine Kings.

After all... most Divine Kings are at the first level of the Time Law, the ’Time Acceleration’ realm. A small number of Divine Kings have no comprehension of the ’Time Law’ whatsoever.

Only one person, the God King of Asura from the Divine World!

He has comprehended the second level of the Time Law, ’Time Freeze’! It’s precisely because of this that the Asura God King has become the recognized number one Divine King.

Without a first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure, he relied on the Divine Skill of ’Time Freeze’ to stand unafraid of the Eight Great Saint Emperors. And after obtaining a first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure, even the Eight Great Saint Emperors are no match for him.

"Haha, today is really lively," Jiang Lan suddenly laughed.

Both Jiang Fan and Jiang Xing laughed too, with Jiang Fan turning to Jiang Lan, "Second brother, those Divine Kings are all outside, should we invite them in?"

"Ladies and gentlemen, please, come in," Jiang Lan said with a loud laugh.

The Divine Kings were quite respectful of Jiang Lan. Jiang Lan’s strength... it was said to be even greater than Jiang Fan’s, and most importantly, the recently obtained first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure ’Luo Yu Saber’ had already been given to Jiang Lan.

After all, owning one first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure was surely sufficient.

<><>Jiang Fan gave the Luo Yu Saber to Jiang Lan. First, he hoped to ease the relationship between him and his brother, and second, to enhance the strength of Northern Pole Snow City.

"Haha, I am truly envious of Brother Jiang Fan," with a big laugh, a middle-aged man with flaming red hair walked in, the West Pole Holy Emperor from Flame Mountain.

Following closely behind the West Pole Holy Emperor was another person with flaming red hair. Obviously, this individual was another Divine King from the West Pole Flame Mountain.

"Qin Yu, in my East Pole Xuanjin Mountain, you did not manage to create a single first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure; but coming to Snow City, you’ve already given Brother Jiang Fan a Luo Yu Saber, and now you’ve even refined a first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure yourself. Ah, I’m really filled with envy," the East Pole Holy Emperor, Huangfu Yu, laughed as he walked over from mid-air.

Following behind Huangfu Yu were two figures.

The Baihua God King, Huangfu Liu Xiang, and the Golden Sword God King, Huangfu Lei. These two God Kings also smiled slightly at everyone before turning their gazes to Qin Yu.

"Qin Yu, you are truly becoming more and more formidable. I always knew my judgment wasn’t wrong," a soft voice said, and the enchanting Blood Demon Queen also made her way over.

Qin Yu could only muster a faint smile. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"Good heavens, there are way too many God Kings," Qin Yu felt a surge of trepidation in his heart.

In the Divine World’s Eight Great Holy Lands, relating to Qin Yu, the East Pole Xuanjin Mountain, all three Divine Kings had arrived. As for other places, it was generally two God Kings each, with the exception of Thunder Punishment City, where only Zhou Huo had come.

Perhaps Thunder Punishment City also knew that, after battling with Qin Yu for so long, Qin Yu didn’t have much affection for them.

Besides the Eight Great Holy Lands, several God Kings from the Three Ascenders’ Forces had also arrived. Their gazes towards Qin Yu were even more fervent.

"Qin Yu? Do you still recognize me?" A man in grey clothes said to Qin Yu with a smile.

Qin Yu naturally recognized the man, who was the grey-clothed man who had taken Hou Fei away. Now, this grey-clothed man had also come with the Asura God King.

"I am the Pingtian God King from the Asura Sea. When I first saw you, I had no idea that you were the successor of Che Hou Yuan. In the blink of an eye, you’ve become so impressive," the grey-clothed man said with a smile.

...

The entire Mu Mansion was bustling, with no fewer than twenty God Kings present. Back in the day at the Northern Pole Holy Emperor Palace, the God Kings sat high above in the Holy Emperor Hall and seldom cared for those below.

But now...

Every single God King was all smiles towards Qin Yu; their attitudes were exceptionally cordial.

"An Artifact Refining Master and an Artisan God, although only a step apart, the difference in status is huge," Qin Yu couldn’t help but remark to himself upon witnessing this scene.

Quite normal. An Artifact Refining Master can only refine Upper Grade Heavenly Divine Artifacts, and at most, with a lot of materials and Hongmeng Spiritual Energy, forge a Second-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure. These Second-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures don’t hold much allure for God King experts.

But it’s different for an Artisan God.

Only those who can refine a First-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure are qualified to be called Artisan Gods. Who among these people wouldn’t want to acquire a First-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure?

*******

With many God Kings gathered, a grand banquet was eventually held in a large parlor within the Mu Mansion; apart from Qin Yu, all other attendees were God Kings, not even Jiang Li was seated.

There were twenty-four seats in the great hall.

Seventeen of those seats belonged to the Eight Great Families, another six were for the Three Ascenders’ Forces, and the last seat was Qin Yu’s.

At the banquet, Qin Yu became the most attended individual.

"Qin Yu," the Asura God King smiled and toasted Qin Yu from afar, and Qin Yu immediately raised his cup in response. The Asura God King continued, "I vividly remember the time when Brother Che Hou created a First-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure for me. I never imagined that today, Che Hou’s successor, Qin Yu, your mastery of Artifact Refining has caught up with Brother Che Hou and you have become the new Artisan God. If Brother Che Hou knew this news, he would surely be overjoyed. By the way, Qin Yu, do you know where Brother Che Hou is now?"

At this, the parlor fell completely silent.

Che Hou Yuan’s whereabouts were a secret in the Divine World; after all, even God Kings couldn’t divine his location.

They didn’t know, so how could Qin Yu?

"Predecessor Che Hou devoted himself to pursuing the pinnacle of Artifact Refining, aiming to achieve the highest craftsmanship and forge a ’Heavenly Venerable Spiritual Treasure.’ He left Mishen Palace early on. As for his whereabouts, I too am unaware," Qin Yu honestly replied.

"Forge a Heavenly Venerable Spiritual Treasure?"

The God Kings at the event exchanged glances, their hearts filled with shock. If Che Hou Yuan really managed to forge a ’Heavenly Venerable Spiritual Treasure,’ that would be a terrifying feat indeed.

"Brother Che Hou’s pursuit of the ultimate in Artifact Refining is indeed admirable. For this, I must drink in his honor," the Asura God King said with a smile and drank a cup.

The atmosphere at the banquet remained quite harmonious.

No one brought up asking Qin Yu for help directly. But without making a sound, every God King was subtly bridging their relationship with Qin Yu. Their attitudes towards him were incredibly friendly.

Qin Yu maintained a responsive facade.

But he was very clear in his heart. These God Kings, who used to be high and mighty, were now so courteous to him. Wasn’t it because he had forged a First-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure?

"With strength, one earns respect," Qin Yu quietly reflected.

After the banquet concluded, the various God Kings also got a sense of what had transpired and bid Qin Yu a warm farewell before leaving one after another.

"Qin Yu, to tell you the truth, I hope you fail in the marriage competition," Huangfu Yu told Qin Yu with a smile as they parted.

Qin Yu could only offer a wry smile.

He could already guess what the East Pole Saint Emperor was going to say next.

"If you fail, you could become my son-in-law, but now it seems, the chance of your failure is too slim. I am envious of Jiang Fan, that guy; look how happily he’s smiling," Huangfu Yu said, pointing to Jiang Fan not far away.

All Qin Yu could do was smile.

"Holy Emperor, even if I become the son-in-law of Snow City, the master of the Lanxuan Hall in Xuanjin Mountain’s position remains to be seen. If Your Majesty needs Qin Yu’s help in the future, I certainly won’t refuse," Quin Yu promptly said.

The East Pole Saint Emperor nodded slightly, "With your word, I’m assured. Alright, I’m heading back now; we’ll meet again at the Northern Pole Saint Emperor Palace."

Northern Pole Saint Emperor Palace?

Qin Yu understood that the next time they meet, it would be to decide the third spot.

"This third spot, I’ve secured it firmly," Qin Yu thought to himself, a First-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure not winning would be strange indeed. Moreover...

Which of those God Kings didn’t want to establish a good relationship with Qin Yu?

Probably the Holy Emperors who had previously favored Zhou Xian, regretted it down to their bones. After all, what Thunder Punishment City offered them couldn’t compare to the help of an Artisan God, could it?

And how much effort would it take to dissolve the estrangement after offending an Artisan God?

Become enemies with an Artisan God? One must be out of their mind to antagonize an Artisan God.

"There’s still some time before the assessment for the third spot. During this time, I might as well gather more precious materials. Combined with that ’endless’ Hongmeng Spiritual Energy, I should forge more Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures," Qin Yu made up his mind instantly.
