Stellar Transformation-Chapter 638: Episode 18 Heavenly Venerable Mountain - 3 Relief Channel
"Asura God King, what exactly is this Relief Channel?" Qin Yu inquired.
The Asura God King looked at Jiang Lan with a smile, "Jiang Lan, please explain the Relief Channel in detail to Qin Yu." Jiang Lan nodded with a smile and then said to Qin Yu, "Little Yu, the last time Heavenly Venerable Mountain descended, the passage that allowed us to enter the mountain was the Relief Channel. Whether it is the same this time is not certain... Let me first tell you about the Relief Channel that appeared when the Heavenly Venerable Mountain descended last time."
"This Relief Channel will appear at the foot of Heavenly Venerable Mountain. Once the Divine Kings step inside, they cannot fly or even think about using Instantaneous Movement. Within the Relief Channel, one can only walk on their legs. Once you leave the Relief Channel and officially enter Heavenly Venerable Mountain, you can fly, use Instantaneous Movement, and so on," Jiang Lan briefly explained.
What the Relief Channel is doesn’t need to be known too clearly. Knowing that upon entering, flight and Instantaneous Movement will be impossible is enough.
"Unable to fly or use Instantaneous Movement?"
Qin Yu pondered this in his mind. To prevent a Divine King from using Instantaneous Movement, simply freezing the space would suffice. But to stop a Divine King from flying... that was terrifying.
Allowing a Divine King to walk normally, yet unable to fly. What kind of Divine Skills could accomplish that?
At least, Qin Yu couldn’t do it.
"Qin Yu, I’m going to greet an old friend, please excuse me," the Asura God King ’Luo Fan’ said, causing Qin Yu to halt his musings.
Qin Yu immediately nodded with a smile, "Asura God King, no need to worry about me."
Then Qin Yu stayed with Jiang Li, Jiang Lan, Zuo Qiulin, and Yi Feng, while the completely red Heavenly Venerable Mountain continued to descend at a slow pace.
"Brother Yu, how many Divine Kings do you think haven’t arrived here yet?" Jiang Li asked with a smile.
There were no fewer than forty-four Divine Kings present, and in Jiang Li’s view, almost every Divine King from the Divine World had arrived. Only a few were missing.
Qin Yu scanned the surroundings.
"There are three Divine Kings who haven’t arrived, including the one from the West Sea Blood Sea," Qin Yu said indifferently, "Of course, if someone has avoided my detection, then there are more than three. If such a person exists, they are probably on a similar level to the Divine King of the Blood Sea."
Before the Four Great Divine Kings attacked Mist City, there was a total of 49 Divine Kings in the Divine World. It’s just that after the recent battle, both Zhou Wulian and Zhou Tong perished, leaving forty-seven Divine Kings in the Divine World.
...
As Qin Yu and Jiang Li conversed, the base of the floating peak of Heavenly Venerable Mountain finally reached the surface of the Asura Sea, and as soon as the base touched the surface of the Asura Sea, it came to a complete halt.
"Clang!"
A sound like steel colliding suddenly spread from the base of Heavenly Venerable Mountain, dispersing in all directions, and in the blink of an eye, it echoed throughout the Divine World. Every Divine King around Heavenly Venerable Mountain was shaken by this sound, and then everyone was jolted awake and flew towards the source of the sound without an agreement.
"This sound?" Qin Yu felt somewhat puzzled, and Jiang Li next to him was equally confused.
"The Relief Channel has opened," Jiang Lan said with a smile, "Little Yu, don’t worry, there’s no danger now. Just go in... Even if there is danger, there are few who could harm you."
Then Jiang Lan, Zuo Qiulin, and Yi Feng all flew happily toward a spot at the foot of Heavenly Venerable Mountain. Qin Yu’s New Universe Space Power enveloped the entire Heavenly Venerable Mountain and in an instant, he saw the changes to Heavenly Venerable Mountain now.
The surface of the Asura Sea under Heavenly Venerable Mountain became completely calm, still as a mirror with not a single ripple.
And at the foot of Heavenly Venerable Mountain, there was an entrance passage radiating endless black luminescence, one person tall and half a person wide. This single passage that appeared must be the ’Relief Channel’ referred to by the Asura God King and Jiang Lan.
"Such a fierce aura."
Just touching this black luminous entrance channel with his New Universe Space Power, Qin Yu could feel the pressure it exerted on him, and it even gave a sense of suppression to his New Universe Space Power.
"Li’er, let’s go have a look," Qin Yu said to Jiang Li, who nodded with a smile.
The two immediately floated side by side towards the only black luminous passage at the foot of Heavenly Venerable Mountain, one foot above the water.
At this moment, one Divine King after another stepped into it. Many Divine Kings had calm expressions, but their eyes contained caution. Upon seeing Qin Yu and his wife flying towards them, the group of Divine Kings waiting to enter the passage immediately stepped aside.
"Divine King Qin Yu, please, after you," said the Divine King of South Pole Mirror Light City, ’Duanmu Liu,’ with a smile.
Qin Yu didn’t bother to insist otherwise, knowing it would be futile, so he gave the surrounding Divine Kings a slight smile and, holding Li’er’s hand, entered the black luminous channel.
*******
After stepping into the channel, Qin Yu’s spirit became utterly tranquil.
"So, this is the ’Relief Channel’." A faint smile appeared on Qin Yu’s face, while Jiang Li also held Qin Yu’s hand, examining the Relief Channel as if they were sightseeing, taking a detailed look at the channel.
The Relief Channel was simply a straight pathway.
The passage inside was only wide enough for two or three people to walk abreast. It was constructed from a kind of black ore. At the same time, the walls on both sides were adorned with a series of relief sculptures.
"The skill of these carvings is truly, truly poor," Qin Yu said after a long look, shaking his head with a sigh, "Although the reliefs further down the passage are much better than those at the front, they are still clumsy..."
In the first stage of Artifact Refining, ’Refining the Artifact Embryo,’ the model of the Artifact Embryo involves painting, carving, and so on. Naturally, Qin Yu had the right to comment.
"I think they are quite good," Jiang Li said with a smile, "The reliefs in this Relief Channel get better one after another, constantly improving. I believe, when we reach the end... The reliefs there will surprise me."
Qin Yu laughed.
He was truly curious at heart, wondering who had put these reliefs here. These works, which had not even fully integrated the Way of Nature into their sculpting, were put on display—weren’t they embarrassing?
"Listening to the Asura God King and Uncle Lan, this Relief Channel appeared the last time Heavenly Venerable Mountain descended. Could it be that the owner of this universe in the Divine World deliberately put these out for everyone to see?"
Qin Yu became curious.
What do these reliefs symbolize, after all?
As he continued forward, Qin Yu grew more and more astonished because the deeper into the passage he went, the more sophisticated the technique of the wall reliefs became. When they reached the end of the Relief Channel, even Qin Yu felt his heart race at the sight of the last relief.
The last relief was of a sword!
Sword Qi crisscrossed, tearing through the sky!
Unbreakable!
"What impressive Sword Intent!" Staring at the last relief, Qin Yu felt an unexpected resonance within his heart. He had a very strange feeling... as if it was like when the ’Qiankun World’ shattered and the universe was first formed.
It was extremely peculiar. Qin Yu couldn’t help but stop in his tracks, his gaze fixed on the relief. One after another, the Divine Kings walked past, while only Qin Yu continued to stand there. Jiang Li was also puzzled as to why Qin Yu was so concerned with the last relief.
"Brother Yu, we’ve reached the end of the Relief Channel. Let’s go outside," Jiang Li finally spoke after a while.
"Oh." Qin Yu came back to his senses, "Alright, let’s go."
Qin Yu took Jiang Li’s hand and stepped out of the Relief Channel. Once out, the scene before them changed. When they had been outside, Heavenly Venerable Mountain seemed to be bathed in a reddish hue.
Actually, the red light was just a membrane.
The true Heavenly Venerable Mountain was mainly composed of green and yellow stones. Here, the landscape was rugged, occasionally moistened by dripping spring water, and thick patches of green moss also evidenced the ancient history of Heavenly Venerable Mountain. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"...
One could see figures rising into the air around Heavenly Venerable Mountain. Most of the Divine Kings began to fly into the sky, but no matter how they flew, they could not penetrate the red membrane—also known as the ’God King Prison.’
"Little Yu." Jiang Lan flew over to them.
"Uncle Lan." Qin Yu greeted him with Jiang Li.
Jiang Lan smiled and asked, "How do you find Heavenly Venerable Mountain?"
"It’s fine, but the Relief Channel gave me the deepest impression," Qin Yu said, recalling the images of the reliefs. He suddenly speculated—’Those must have been a series of reliefs made by a master as he grew, with the last relief representing his achievement of Great Success.’
"Profound?" Jiang Lan was somewhat surprised.
"Uncle Lan, didn’t you feel that the last relief was extraordinary?" Qin Yu said with a smile.
Jiang Lan said with a light smile, "The last relief imbued the essence of the Sword Dao’s Sword Intent. What’s so different about it?"
"No, it’s not the same."
Qin Yu shook his head, "I can feel that the last relief contains a very special ’Way.’ Although my path of cultivation is different from it, and I cannot fully understand it, just the resonance in my spirit is already shocking enough."
"Really?" Jiang Lan was surprised.
For so many years, he never realized that the decorative ’reliefs’ in the Relief Channel had any special significance.
Qin Yu was about to respond, but at that moment, a misty green light shone from a mountain peak over a million miles away from the foot of Heavenly Venerable Mountain. The boundless green light suddenly bathed the entire Heavenly Venerable Mountain in an eerie green glow.
"Has it appeared so soon?" A hint of delight flashed in Jiang Lan’s eyes.
