Stellar Transformation-Chapter 618: Episode 17 - 15 Persuasion
Today, there’s only one Chapter update; sorry about that. I will make up for it tomorrow!
——————————
The sea breeze swept across the vast bamboo sea on Bamboo Forest Island, stirring up waves of bamboo that carried a rustling sound for a while before it subsided.
Qin Yu and Jiang Li stood side by side on the beach of Bamboo Forest Island.
"Such a beautiful bamboo sea," Jiang Li exclaimed. "It’s amazing that so many bamboos grow on an island."
Qin Yu was quite familiar with Bamboo Forest Island. Pointing at the bamboo sea in front of them, he said, "Li’er, this bamboo sea isn’t naturally formed. It’s actually the transformation of an extremely powerful Magical Treasure. Once you enter the bamboo sea, you’ll be trapped inside. Of course, now that you are a Divine King, even if you fall into it, you can escape relatively easily."
"A transformation of a Magical Treasure?" Jiang Li looked at Qin Yu in surprise.
Qin Yu smiled slightly, "Wait until you meet God King Yi Feng, then you will understand."
"Could it be God King Yi Feng’s Magical Treasure ’Ten Thousand Miles’?" Jiang Li suddenly exclaimed, "This is the only Spatial Magical Treasure among the first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures."
Qin Yu looked at Jiang Li in astonishment, wondering how Li’er knew this.
Seeing Qin Yu’s expression, Jiang Li smiled and said, "Brother Yu, after the complete integration with the two drops of Life Soul Tears, I have also gained a clear understanding of Aunt Zuo Qiu’s memories. God King Yi Feng is one of the two major followers of Aunt Zuo Qiu, as well as the owner of the first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure ’Ten Thousand Miles.’ It was thanks to ’Ten Thousand Miles’ that God King Yi Feng was able to escape alive from the encirclement of several Great Saint Emperors back then."
Qin Yu nodded his head.
He too was somewhat familiar with that battle. Several Great Saint Emperors joined forces to attack and even froze space, preventing people like Zuo Qiumei from using Instantaneous Movement. In such a situation, they were trapped without a way to escape to the heavens or delve into the earth.
Before Qin Yu’s appearance, the publicly known first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures in the Divine World numbered ten.
Each of the Eight Great Saint Emperors had one, the Asura God King had one, and the last belonged to God King Yi Feng. However, Yi Feng’s ’Ten Thousand Miles’ was a Spatial Spiritual Treasure. In terms of attack power, it was not as good as the other nine. But when it came to capturing or escaping, it was indeed very powerful.
"Brother Yu..." Jiang Li suddenly frowned and said worriedly, "If God King Yi Feng stays within the bamboo sea, how can we speak with him? The bamboo sea itself should be the first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure ’Ten Thousand Miles.’ Even for a Divine King, it won’t be easy to escape once inside."
Qin Yu smiled faintly.
"How to speak? Just say it out loud." Qin Yu looked toward the bamboo sea and called out, "God King Yi Feng, I am Qin Yu, and the person beside me is my wife ’Jiang Li.’ I hope God King Yi Feng will come out to meet us."
Qin Yu’s voice boomed like thunder, resonating continuously between heaven and earth. Yet, no matter how it echoed, it was confined within a few thousand miles.
"Jiang Li?"
A gasp of surprise gently sounded as a gaunt man wearing a white robe appeared before them. Qin Yu immediately recognized that the man was none other than Yi Feng God King. Compared to their last meeting, Yi Feng God King looked even more emaciated, his entire presence resembling that of an ailing person.
"Uncle Yi Feng," Jiang Li greeted respectfully.
Yi Feng looked at Jiang Li, and the term ’Uncle Yi Feng’ brought him great joy; a rare, kind smile appeared on his face, "Jiang Li, my girl, I didn’t expect that, after our last meeting, the next time I’d see you, you would already be a married woman. And, you’ve even reached the God King Realm."
"It’s thanks to Aunt Zuo Qiu’s help. If it weren’t for her two Life Soul Tears, I’m afraid I wouldn’t know how many years it would take for me to reach the God King Realm," Jiang Li said, a hint of sorrow passing through her eyes.
"Aunt Zuo Qiu? Ah Mei?"
Yi Feng paused slightly, his gaze turning distant as if reminiscing the days he had followed Zuo Qiumei.
"Jiang Li, my girl, as far as I know, you should have received just one Life Soul Tear. How did you come to possess two?" Yi Feng inquired as he looked at Jiang Li, "Could it be that this second Life Soul Tear was obtained by your current husband, ’Qin Yu’?"
Jiang Li glanced at Qin Yu beside her, her eyes shining with happiness, "Yes, Brother Yu gave the other Life Soul Tear to me."
Yi Feng turned his gaze towards Qin Yu and nodded with approval, "Jiang Li, my girl, you have a good husband indeed. He was actually willing to give you a Life Soul Tear."
"Moreover, ever since Qin Yu and the others left in search of the Illusion Spirit Mirror, I’ve been paying attention to what’s been happening in the Divine World. Over the years, there’s been constant news about ’Qin Yu’. Your husband is truly remarkable," Yi Feng said, looking at Qin Yu with admiration, "Crafting a first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure, becoming the new Artisan God. Offering a first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure as a gift. Publicly carrying off a bride at the Holy Emperor Hall and even defeating two Divine Kings in a row in the Eastern Divine Sea Domain. Jiang Li, my girl, I’m happy for you that you found such a husband; if Ah Mei were still alive, I am sure she would be happy for you as well."
Qin Yu felt somewhat pleased inside to receive such praise.
"However, you and your husband shouldn’t get too complacent," Yi Feng God King’s expression turned serious.
"There is a mutual agreement among the Eight Divine Clans of the Divine World; they do not allow any other force to grow again, and they will make sure to eradicate them during the budding stage," Yi Feng said gravely to both Qin Yu and Jiang Li.
Qin Yu’s brows furrowed.
Jiang Li spoke with confusion, "Isn’t there the Three Ascenders’ Forces in the Divine World? How were they able to establish themselves in the Divine World?"
Yi Feng gave a faint smile, "The rise of the Three Ascenders’ Forces has some elements of chance to it. First is the birth of Xiao Yao Heavenly Venerable sixty trillion years ago, which provided a support for the side of the Ascenders. Second is the rise of Asura God King. And there’s some ambiguous relationship between him and the Blood Demon Queen. As for the Divine King of Double Domain Island, he is also extremely formidable. Due to various factors, the Three Ascenders’ Forces rose."
"Once they successfully rose to power, for the Eight Divine Clans to destroy them would mean an extremely great loss. Coupled with hints from Xiao Yao Heavenly Venerable, in the end, a peace was maintained between the Eight Divine Clans and the Three Ascenders’ Forces."
Suddenly, Yi Feng let out a cold laugh, "However, the Eight Divine Clans have an agreement among themselves. The birth of the Three Ascenders’ Forces was already the limit of their tolerance. They will not allow a fourth Ascender Force to emerge. Once there’s any sign of it, the Eight Divine Clans will eliminate the threat in its budding stage."
"Back then, Big Brother and I, following Ah Mei, because the Three Great Divine Kings joined together, and Ah Mei also had leadership capabilities, and her command attracted quite a few people, posed a threat to the Eight Divine Clans, prompting their decision to eliminate this not yet fully grown force. The Eight Divine Clans’ action was decisive. Once they made a move, they did not leave any chance for survival. Because of this, my Big Brother died, Ah Mei eventually died, and only I just barely escaped with my life."
Yi Feng’s face showed a trace of self-mockery.
Yi Feng suddenly turned towards Qin Yu and Jiang Li, "Qin Yu, if I’m not mistaken, the recent omen of the Divine King from the Divine World, it should belong to Miss Jiang Li, right?"
"Yes," Qin Yu nodded in acknowledgment.
Yi Feng said gravely, "Qin Yu, your strength, as demonstrated in the battle at the East Sea of the Divine World last time, has made it crystal clear to the Eight Divine Clans. You alone are definitely comparable to a powerful Divine King. Moreover, Jiang Li is also a Divine King. The most crucial point is... you have conflicts with them. I think... those Eight Divine Clans, are probably going to make a serious move against you two."
"I’m not afraid, Brother Yu defeated two Divine Kings last time," Jiang Li had absolute trust in Qin Yu in her heart.
Yi Feng shook his head.
"You’re wrong, the Eight Divine Clans were caught off guard last time. At first, they thought Qin Yu was just an Upper Heavenly God, so they didn’t put much thought into dealing with him. But if they make a move again, it will be different! Because they know Qin Yu’s true strength now. Once they act, they’ll be certain of their success, and by the time you regret it, it’ll be too late!"
Yi Feng’s eyes glistened intently as he looked at Qin Yu and Jiang Li, "I advise you two, it’d be best to seek refuge with the Asura God King ’Luo Fan’. Luo Fan’s strength is astonishingly formidable. Especially since he possesses a first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure, his power is even more fearsome. The Eight Divine Clans don’t wish to provoke him either."
Qin Yu nodded lightly.
Yi Feng said so much, and Qin Yu was well aware of it. However, Yi Feng didn’t know his true reliance, which was the New Universe. The reason the Eight Divine Clans were able to kill Zuo Qiumei was because of the Frozen Space that made it impossible for her to escape.
But, is there anyone who can prevent me from using Instantaneous Movement to leave?
No!
"God King Yi Feng, listen to me," Qin Yu looked at God King Yi Feng.
God King Yi Feng nodded, "Speak."
"God King Yi Feng, Li’er and I can conceal ourselves, making it impossible for the Eight Divine Clans to find us. But Li’er is now pregnant, and I cannot bear the thought of my child having to hide all the time, nor can I endure my friends and family having to live in the shadows because of me. Therefore, I want to fight against those Holy Emperors. I... also need your help, God King Yi Feng," Qin Yu made his request.
Qin Yu did not wish to use too many sentimental words. After all, the other party was a Divine King, and Yi Feng would have his own considerations.
"Fight?"
A flash of anger appeared in Yi Feng’s eyes, "Qin Yu, don’t be too arrogant. What do you think Holy Emperors are? Holy Emperors that have existed since the birth of the Divine World aren’t so easy to deal with. If you don’t care about your own life, don’t make Jiang Li suffer with you. As for me, I won’t go crazy with you."
With a snort, Yi Feng turned and walked towards the Bamboo Sea, reaching it in just two or three steps.
"God King Yi Feng."
"Uncle Yi Feng."
Qin Yu and Jiang Li called out at the same time, but Yi Feng did not come out again. All they heard was a voice echoing in Qin Yu’s ear: "Qin Yu, don’t let the tragic past of Ah Mei happen again, and never think that by defeating two Divine Kings, you can contend with the Holy Emperors. The attack power of the Holy Emperors combined with the Clan Guardian Treasure is beyond your imagination."
As the voice faded, no matter what Qin Yu and Jiang Li said, God King Yi Feng did not respond. The only sound was the rustling of the Bamboo Sea.
After a moment, Qin Yu and Jiang Li had to admit, their effort had failed!
"I didn’t expect that the first target, which I thought held the greatest hope, would be unsuccessful. Not a good start!" Qin Yu said with self-derisive chuckle.
Jiang Li could only smile helplessly.
"Brother Yu, why didn’t you tell him that the ’Frozen Space’ of the Holy Emperors has no effect on you? If you had said so, maybe God King Yi Feng would have thought it over," Jiang Li asked Qin Yu.
Qin Yu smiled helplessly, "He talked a bunch and left immediately, when would I have had the chance to say it? And even if I did say it, God King Yi Feng wouldn’t believe me. Li’er, if you hadn’t entered the New Universe, would you believe there’s another set of space and time laws, with endless Hongmeng Spiritual Energy?"
Jiang Li was taken aback.
Indeed, some things about Qin Yu were too miraculous; unless seen with one’s own eyes, they were absolutely unbelievable.
"Hm?"
Suddenly, Qin Yu’s eyebrows furrowed as a Divine Sense originating from Flame Mountain swept over the entire Divine World, accidentally stumbling upon Qin Yu and Jiang Li. Jiang Li also sensed the search of the Divine King’s Divine Sense, and she immediately said to Qin Yu, "Brother Yu, we’ve been discovered by a Divine King, we should head back."
Qin Yu’s eyes suddenly lit up, and he smiled.
"Li’er, if this God King Yi Feng is unwilling to help us, the main reason is believing I can’t escape the joint execution of the Eight Divine Clans. If I fight those Holy Emperors at his doorstep, showing some of my capabilities, and he witnesses it, he should believe me, right?" Qin Yu said with a smile.
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Li also nodded.
"It’s just uncertain how many Divine Kings the Eight Divine Clans will send to deal with us this time," Qin Yu spoke smilingly, "Li’er, if there’s danger, you should enter the New Universe immediately, you know?"
In terms of defense, Jiang Li was actually stronger than Qin Yu. She wore the first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure ’Purple Feather Robe’, which could withstand the attacks of ordinary Divine Kings. In terms of offense, she had the first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure ’Breaking Water’, which ensured her absolute safety. Nonetheless, Jiang Li still felt a warmth in her heart.
The power of the New Universe Space enveloped the entire Divine World, and from within the Eight Great Holy Lands, aside from East Pole Xuanjin Mountain and the Underground City, people from the other six Holy Lands were on the move.
"Oh, only six Divine Kings have been mobilized, but these six are all Holy Emperors. The Six Great Saint Emperors joining forces, what a grand gesture! Could it be that these Six Great Saint Emperors want to eliminate the ’threat’ of me in its infancy?" Qin Yu said softly, his eyes flashing with excitement. (To be continued.
