Stellar Transformation-Chapter 626: Episode 17 - 23 East Sea Old Ghost

Qin Yu’s brows furrowed, his heart filled with doubts, "This Zuo Qiulin is ruthless and ferocious. Seeing her original stance with me and Li’er, she showed no mercy, intending to kill both me and Li’er. How could she now agree to help me just for a second-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure?"

Highly suspicious!

Although a second-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure is precious, it isn’t precious to that extent. After all, Zuo Qiulin had not been involved in the strife of the Divine World for countless years. But now, for a second-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure, she would be willing?

Zuo Qiulin sat with a cold face on that black lotus throne, glancing coldly at Qin Yu, "Why no reaction? Could it be that the new Artisan God can’t even produce a second-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure? If you’re so insincere, you might as well leave now."

Qin Yu suddenly snapped out of his thoughts.

Qin Yu immediately said with a smile, "Senior Zuo Qiulin, I certainly have a second-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure. I was just overly joyful because Senior suddenly agreed."

Zuo Qiulin snorted indifferently, "Don’t try to ingratiate yourself with me. I’m just struggling because I don’t have a good second-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure. Let me ask you, do you have that kind of Spiritual Treasure that can bind people? Even if it’s just for a short time, do you have such a Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure?"

Qin Yu’s heart stirred.

Bind people?

He had indeed refined a total of seventy second-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures, among which there were seven or eight capable of binding people. Most importantly, besides those seven or eight, there was one more...

"The scepter ’Ten Thousand Willows,’ that scepter is a first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure and also has the ability to bind people. Should I give it to her?" Qin Yu pondered in his heart.

The only unclaimed first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure in his possession now was this scepter, although the ’Fire Origin Spirit Pearl’ was also unclaimed, but Qin Yu had already planned to give it to his future child with Li’er. But this scepter, should he give it to Zuo Qiulin?

"Brother Yu."

Jiang Li suddenly communicated telepathically, "This Zuo Qiulin’s attitude has suddenly changed, and I too am somewhat puzzled. After thinking for a while, I came up with a possibility."

"Oh, what possibility?" Qin Yu immediately asked telepathically.

Jiang Li continued, "According to Aunt Zuo Qiu’s soul memory about Zuo Qiulin, I analyzed closely. Zuo Qiulin is indifferent, although she is hostile towards Aunt Zuo Qiu, she has never made a move to kill her. I think... Zuo Qiulin might be ’cold on the outside but warm on the inside.’ On the surface, she appears indifferent to Aunt Zuo Qiu, but deep down, she probably cares a great deal about her only sister."

Qin Yu’s heart stirred.

"That’s very likely, and only that explains why Zuo Qiulin’s attitude changed and why she even proactively requested a second-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure."

"What, don’t you have one?" Zuo Qiulin’s face suddenly turned cold from a distance.

Qin Yu did not rush to reply, just watching Zuo Qiulin’s changing expressions. She did not immediately reject Qin Yu.

From this scene alone, Qin Yu secretly determined that Zuo Qiulin’s request for a second-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure was probably just a pretext. She probably feared that others would think she acted just for her sister.

"If Zuo Qiulin is truly doing this for her sister, then..."

Qin Yu finally made a decision, immediately taking out the red scepter, Zuo Qiulin looked puzzledly at the scepter in Qin Yu’s hands.

"Senior Zuo Qiulin, this scepter, named ’Ten Thousand Willows,’ is a first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure. It has the ability to bind people." Qin Yu’s mind moved, and the scepter floated towards Zuo Qiulin.

Zuo Qiulin was slightly startled.

The scepter ’Ten Thousand Willows’ floated in front of Zuo Qiulin. Without looking at the scepter, she stared at Qin Yu, "Qin Yu, are you willing to give me this first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure? Do you understand the value of a first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure?"

"As an Artifact Refining God, how could I not understand the value of a first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure?" Qin Yu said with a smile.

"If you don’t want to regret it later, you should take it back," Zuo Qiulin said hoarsely.

Qin Yu simply smiled faintly, "Didn’t Senior just ask for a treasure? Why, when the Spiritual Treasure is right in front of you, you dare not take it?"

"Humph." Zuo Qiulin snorted coldly, directly grabbing the scepter ’Ten Thousand Willows’ in her hands, glancing coldly at Qin Yu, "Kid, I gave you the chance to take it back, and you didn’t. There’s no chance to get it back later."

Seeing Zuo Qiulin taking the scepter, Qin Yu immediately clapped his hands and laughed, "Senior Zuo Qiulin, shall we set off immediately then?"

"Go back? Back to the Divine World Continent?" Zuo Qiulin looked at Qin Yu.

Qin Yu nodded.

"Not now," Zuo Qiulin directly refused, Qin Yu’s expression darkened, and Jiang Li also frowned.

Qin Yu grew even more worried, "Could I have misjudged her, and now that Zuo Qiulin got a first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure, she doesn’t want to go with me? No, that’s unlikely." Qin Yu was confident in his judgment.

Moreover...

If Zuo Qiulin really wanted to deceive him, then she would be foolish. After all, so far Qin Yu hadn’t truly shown his full strength.

"Senior Zuo Qiulin, if not now, when would it be possible?" Qin Yu suppressed his impatience.

Zuo Qiulin sneered and said, "It’s simple. Years ago, a Divine King defeated me and severely injured me. He made me promise, that until I defeat him, I wouldn’t return to the Divine World Continent under any circumstances. I am only allowed in the endless ocean around the Divine World."

"Qin Yu, although I accepted your gift, I must keep my promise. Until I defeat him, I can’t go back to the Divine World Continent. So... I can’t go back now," Zuo Qiulin said straightforwardly. "Of course, with this first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure, I’m confident I can defeat him. But it will take a lot of time to refine a first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure."

Qin Yu and Jiang Li glanced at each other.

The two of them involuntarily recalled the legend that Bai Yiju from Ice Island, an Upper Heavenly God, had told them—the legend that Zuo Qiulin had once killed a Divine King and was later severely injured by another Divine King. It seemed that this legend was also true.

Qin Yu had a trace of anger in his mind.

How long would he have to wait for Zuo Qiulin to refine a first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure? Why hadn’t Zuo Qiulin informed him beforehand?

"Hmph, rest assured," Zuo Qiulin snorted coldly, "I won’t deliberately delay it. When that old ghost made the agreement with me, I also added a condition: if I ask for help and defeat him, it will still count as fulfilling the promise. However... in the entire Divine World, probably only the Asura God King can be sure of defeating that old ghost. Unfortunately, I am not acquainted with the Asura God King, nor do I want to owe him a favor."

"Ask for help to defeat?" Qin Yu’s mind stirred, he looked towards Zuo Qiulin, and began to understand her intention.

Zuo Qiulin’s lips curled up in what seemed to represent a ’smile,’ yet her face remained as cold as ice: "You’re right, I want you to make a move. I’ve already felt your strength just now. With your strength, especially with that spear, you are indeed stronger than me. Based on some information I know about the Divine World, it is possible for you to defeat that old ghost."

Qin Yu smiled helplessly.

It seemed he had been tricked by Zuo Qiulin.

"Of course, you can also choose not to go. If you don’t, you’ll just need to wait a few decades. I’ll set up a space where time accelerates ten thousand times, maintaining it for several decades. With several hundred thousand years of effort, I should be able to refine a Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure. Oh... since it’s a first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure, the time it takes me to refine it would be uncertain. I’ve never refined such a ’high-level’ Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure before." Zuo Qiulin was in no hurry.

A few decades?

Qin Yu did not have the patience to wait.

"Alright, I will go with you to meet this ’old ghost’ who severely injured you before, and see how powerful this mysterious person really is." Qin Yu made his decision.

Jiang Li, standing by, was not worried about Qin Yu at all.

In Jiang Li’s view... even if those Divine Kings of the Divine World could defeat Qin Yu, they would at most make Qin Yu flee. Killing Qin Yu was impossible.

"Good, that’s courageous." Zuo Qiulin applauded and said, her hoarse voice echoing directly in the underground palace.

Zuo Qiulin stood up right away, saying coldly, "Then we set off now." Qin Yu and Jiang Li also smiled and nodded, and soon the three of them disappeared into thin air from the dark hall.

At the same time, a hoarse voice echoed through the entire Ice Cave Palace below Ice Island.

’’Palace Master will be away for quite a long time; Bai Ye, you and your group stay well in the palace, awaiting my return." The raspy voice startled the twelve Heavenly God Servants in the Ice Cave Palace, and immediately they were happy.

With the Palace Master away, they could relax and frolic.

******

The surface of Ice Island was enveloped in a misty haze, which was the cold air from billions of years of ice. Over countless years, the residents of Ice Island never took a step away from it.

For stepping away from Ice Island would earn the ’warm hospitality’ of the Death God King.

But at this moment, three figures flew out from the boundless icy cold above Ice Island—two in white, one in black, precisely Qin Yu, Jiang Li, and Zuo Qiulin.

"Senior Zuo Qiulin, this ’old ghost’ you spoke of, where is he located in the Divine World?" Qin Yu asked aloud.

Zuo Qiulin said coldly, "That old ghost resides in the East Sea Domain of the Divine World, and he’s most proficient in Life Energy. Just like my sister. However, his research on the soul is not as good as my sister and I. Even so, I am no match for him." Zuo Qiulin conceded frankly, without any disguise.

"Divine World’s East Sea? Life Energy?" Qin Yu’s mind stirred.

The power of New Universe Space already covered the entire Divine World, and indeed there were three Hidden God Kings in the East Sea. Among these Hidden God Kings, one God King’s aura was very obscure. If it weren’t for Qin Yu’s meticulous observation of Space Power, it would have been hard to detect this God King.

"Brother Yu?" Jiang Li also looked at Qin Yu.

Qin Yu understood what Jiang Li wanted to ask but simply smiled and nodded, "Indeed, there’s such a God King, located about several hundred trillion miles east of the coast of East Pole Xuanjin Mountain."

"You can detect that ’old ghost’?" Zuo Qiulin’s eyelids lifted, her surprise evident as she looked at Qin Yu, then coldly said, "At first, I thought you had a fifty to sixty percent chance of defeating that old ghost, but now it seems, you might have a seventy to eighty percent chance."

Those Hidden God Kings, each trying to conceal their own aura, even using special means to hide themselves. For other Divine Kings to discover them was almost impossible. Qin Yu now detecting so easily naturally made Qin Yu’s position in Zuo Qiulin’s mind rise sharply.

Qin Yu didn’t explain much.

"Let’s use Instantaneous Movement," Qin Yu said, and immediately, the three of them disappeared into the half-sky outside Ice Island.

******

The vastness of the East Sea Domain of the Divine World was unimaginable, far exceeding the size of the Divine World Continent. Scattered throughout the East Sea were countless islands.

One very ordinary small island, with a circumference of several hundred miles. The island had a small range of mountains, and countless flowers and plants grew there. This island was a world of flora and fauna, stepping onto this island, one could feel the endless vitality of the island.

Qin Yu, Jiang Li, and Zuo Qiulin appeared out of thin air above the island.

Zuo Qiulin coldly pointed at the island, her raspy voice stating, "Qin Yu, this island is that old ghost’s lair. Be careful, He’s probably already sensed my presence."

"Zuo Qiulin, you dare come here? Do you think you can handle me now? Oh, and two young men, do you believe they can defeat me?" a pleasant and gentle voice thundered through the heavens.

"Old ghost, don’t underestimate these two young ones; maybe you can’t even compete with them," Zuo Qiulin’s raspy voice retorted.

"Haha, then I must see for myself!"

The gentle voice had hardly faded when countless flowers and trees on the island began to grow wildly, numerous giant branches surged like countless tentacles, and instantly submerged Qin Yu, Jiang Li, and Zuo Qiulin completely.
