Hearing the humph sound, Qin Yu turned around to look at the origin of the sound. The person who had humped earlier was a cold looking middle aged man. His ice-cold gaze contained vicious fierceness within them.

“What a fierce man.” Qin Yu still had a tranquil smile on his face.

The man in front of him possessed fairly decent strength. He was a seventeen star Emperor. Only comparing their bodies, that man was at the sa level as Qin Yu. Unfortunately... if they were to really fight, Qin Yu was absolutely confident that he could take care of him in a single hit.

“Liu Xing, this is Vice Sect Master Liu Lan. Vice Sect Master Liu Lan is already at the seventeen star Emperor level. He is the second strongest expert in our Gold Punishnt Sect.” Great Elder Fu Lan imdiately said to Qin Yu. “Next to Vice Sect Master Liu Lan is Vice Sect Master Bao Yu. As for the final one of the Three Great Vice Sect Masters, you’ve already t him. He’s Vice Sect Master Kou Feng. As for this person, he is our Gold Punishnt Sect’s prestigious Guard Elder.”

In the middle of the great all, Gold Punishnt Lord Xing Yuan was seated on the master seat.

To the right of the Gold Punishnt Lord’s seat were three seats. There sat the Vice Sect Masters Liu Lan and Bao Yu. The last seat was empty. Qin Yu suspected that it should be the seat for that Vice Sect Master Kou Feng.

To the left of the Gold Punishnt Lord’s seat were four seats. Only the Guard Elder sat on the first one. The other three were all empty. Qin Yu knew that those ought to be the seats of Wen Feng, Great Elder and himself.

Qin Yu rely slightly bowed. He indifferently said. “Liu Xing pays his respects to Vice Sect Master Liu Lan, Vice Sect Master Bao Yu and the Guard Elder.”

Imdiately after, Qin Yu stopped looking at Liu Lan. Instead, he turned to the Gold Punishnt Lord Xing Yuan and slightly bowed. “Liu Xing pays his respects to Your Majesty.” Qin Yu’s appearance, expression as well as his words have all displayed his proud and aloof personality.

Originally, when people see the Gold Punishnt Lord, they would bow completely and say “Baijian (kowtow and pay one’s respect to) Your Majesty.” Qin Yu, however, rely slightly bowed and said ‘Pays his respects.’ The difference between the two was imnsely great.

[TL: Okay, this is pretty hard to translate. What Qin Yu did was that he said basically said ‘I, Liu Xing, saw Your Majesty.’ This basically ans paying one’s respect. However, the Baijian version would be: ‘I, Liu Xing, kowtowed and saw Your Majesty.’ See the difference? Essentially, both of them were very respectful but the second version made one more of a subordinate.]

“Consecrated Liu Xing seems to be a bit arrogant.” Sneered that Vice Sect Master Liu Lan.

Qin Yu however ignored that Vice Sect Master Liu Lan.

Vice Sect Master Liu Lan’s expression imdiately changed. This Liu Xing actually ignored his existence. How would he not get angry? Back then, Liu Lan had wanted to beco the Gold Punishnt Lord. However, he was rely a bit weaker than Xing Yuan and thus ended up with the position of Vice Sect Master. Other than Xing Yuan, he had never showed any respect to anyone.

“Liu Lan, Liu Xing’s temperant might be a bit proud and aloof. You shouldn’t mind too much about it.” Gold Punishnt Lord Xing Yuan spoke.

Liu Lan coldly cast a side-eye glance to Qin Yu and then stopped talking.

Qin Yu did not care about that Liu Lan at all. He knew that... this Liu Lan does not affect him much.

“Liu Xing, I am very glad that you’ve co to the Sacred Mountain. Originally, I had thought that you’d continue training and ignore the position of Consecrated.” Xing Yuan said with a light smile.

That Xing Yuan possessed a very sharp facial appearance. Even though he had just been sitting there, he was giving off the imposingness of Mount Tai, causing one to not dare to be the slightest contemptuous toward him.

“Your Majesty, Liu Xing has co to the Sacred Mountain to accept the position of Consecrated. However, the main reason why he wanted to co to the Sacred Mountain was not rely to accept the Consecrated position.” Said Wen Feng with a smile. At the sa ti he looked to Qin Yu. Qin Yu took over from Wen Feng, he nodded and said. “Your Majesty, I ca to the Sacred Mountain in hopes that Your Majesty would grant a passage title plate to the Bewitching God Temple.”

“Bewitching God Temple!”

Liu Lan, Bao Yu and Kou Feng and the rest, including the Gold Punishnt Lord himself, were all shocked. Even the Guard Elder who had his eyes closed the entire ti also opened his pair of muddle eyes. He took a glance at Qin Yu before closing his eyes again.

“Bewitching God Temple, there are indeed Divine Artifacts there, but Liu Xing, with your strength, you shouldn’t need any Divine Artifacts. As for High Quality Divine Artifacts, the possibility of obtaining one is extrely low.” Said Vice Sect Master Bao Yu.

Qin Yu was rely silent.

How could these people possibly know that Qin Yu possessed the Bewitching God Painting?

“Liu Xing, our Three Great Sovereigns of our Dark Star Realm have already determined a rule that the Bewitching God Temple shall be closed all the ti ordinarily. Only once every hundred thousand years would we all obtain an opportunity to enter it.” Gold Punishnt Lord Xing Yuan frowned as he explained.

Qin Yu frowned.

“How much longer till the next ti the entrance of the Bewitching God Temple will be opened?” Qin Yu asked.

“The last ti it was opened was over sixty thousand years ago. For the next ti, it’ll take over thirty thousand years more.”Great Elder Fu Lan instead answered Qin Yu’s question.

Over thirty thousand years?

Qin Yu simply cannot wait that long. At once, Qin Yu spoke out. “Your Majesty, I was told that the entrance of the Bewitching God Temple was sealed together by the past Three Great Sovereigns through using their Inherited Treasures. Only through using the passage title plate refined by all Three Great Sovereigns would one be able to open the seal. I wish to obtain the help from Your Majesty to open the seal. I would like to know what I must do in order to have my request agreed?”

Qin Yu’s question had made it clear that he was determined to enter the Bewitching God Temple.

“It is not that I am not willing. As you are the Consecrated of our Gold Punishnt Sect, I naturally would agree to help you. rely... there is no certainty that the Black Fla Lord and the White Profound Lord would agree to help you. Back then, the reason why such a rule was established, sealing the Bewitching God Temple and opening it once every hundred thousand years, was firstly to prevent others not from our Dark Star Realm from forcing their way into it and secondly to make sure the Divine Artifacts in the Dark Star Realm remain in control of our Three Great Sects.” Gold Punishnt Lord Xing Yuan explained.

Qin Yu grew slightly relaxed.

“Since your majesty has agreed, why not invite the Black Fla Lord and the White Profound Lord over to have a discussion?” Said Qin Yu sincerely.

Gold Punishnt Lord Xing Yuan smiled and nodded. “Good, I shall invite the two of them. rely, the chance that the two of them would agree to it would be extrely low. You must know that the Black Fla Sect and the White Profound Sect had been in competition with us the entire ti.”

“For Your Majesty to be able to invite the other two Majesties to co, Liu Xing is already extrely thankful. If we were to be unable to co to an agreent at that ti, then I can only renounce my wish to enter into the Bewitching God Temple.” Said Qin Yu while smiling.

“Since you’re prepared to fail, then the matter would be easier to deal with.” The Gold Punishnt Lord’s impression of the Liu Xing in front of him grew a lot better.

The Gold Punishnt Lord was originally a person with a very good temperant. Everyone who knew Xing Yuan, knew of his good temperant. Even though he had beco the Gold Punishnt Lord, Xing Yuan still did not have the arrogance of the sovereign.

“Good, let’s not waste any more ti. I shall now grant you the position of Consecrated.” The Gold Punishnt Lord suddenly stood up. The few people that had been sitting all stood up following him. At this mont, Qin Yu also gave a well behaved salute.

The etiquette of all the cultivators of the Dark Star Realm.

A bow with the left fist to the right chest!

“Take it.” The Gold Punishnt Lord Xing Yuan placed two items in front of Qin Yu.

“Thank you, Your Majesty.” Qin Yu received the two items.

These two items, one was an imperial order and the other was the title plate of the Consecrated. The imperial order was constructed by a special kind of silk cloth. Its toughness was comparable to that of a Top Quality Immortal Artifact.

“Wen Feng, you are to bring Liu Xing to check out the ‘First Ancient Palace‘ and the ‘Inherited Palace.’” Said the Gold Punishnt Lord with a light smile.

Wen Feng stood up. “Yes, Your Majesty.”

The Front Palace, Main Palace and many other palaces, were all located on the main mountain summit of the Sacred Mountain. At the sa ti, there were also a lot of places where cultivators lived. As for the seventeen summits that surrounded the main summit, seven of them were private residences, eight of them were the residences of previous Gold Punishnt Lords. The remaining two were important palaces of the Gold Punishnt Sect.

These two palaces were respectively the First Ancient Palace and the Inherited Palace.

First Ancient Palace occupied a very large area. It occupied roughly seventy percent of the summit that it was on. Qin Yu and Wen Feng were currently outside of the First Ancient Palace.

“Halt. Lord Wen Feng, please have that Lordship take out his title plate.” Shouted the guard of the First Ancient Palace coldly.

Qin Yu looked to Wen Feng. Wen Feng explained. “Both the First Ancient Palace and the Inherited Palace are very important places for the Gold Punishnt Sect. There are less than ten people in the entire Gold Punishnt Sect that are qualified to enter into them. You, as the newly appointed Consecrated, are naturally qualified to enter into it.”

Qin Yu promptly took out his Consecrated title plate.

Upon seeing the title plate, that guard imdiately bowed and saluted. “Lord Consecrated, please co in.”

Qin Yu and Wen Feng walked through the gate together and entered the enormous First Ancient Palace. The First Ancient Palace was separated into the front hall and the back great hall. There were a lot of hanging boards in the front hall.

Qin Yu was unable to refrain himself from looking at those hanging boards.

“The third Gold Punishnt Lord was called Liu Tian. His place of birth was the Cedar Lotus Star. He reached the first star King level after spending seventy two years. After that, he left the Cedar Lotus Star and started to wander the interstellar space....”

“The eighth Gold Punishnt Lord was called Hong. His place of birth was unknown. The amount of ti he cultivated was unknown. Killed the sixteen star Emperor level Massacre King, Xue Sheng....”

Written on each board was the biographical notes of a Gold Punishnt Lord.

On the front hall, there hung a lot of boards. With a sweep of Qin Yu’s eyes, he saw nurous boards closely packed together. There were definitely no less than ten thousand boards total. Hanging in the front were early generations of Gold Punishnt Lords. As Qin Yu and Wen Feng walked toward the back, there were even more boards.

“Wen Feng, exactly how many Gold Punishnt Lords have there been?” Qin Yu looked to Wen Feng.

Wen Feng smiled and said. “Could it be that you are unable to tell with your Soul’s Power?”

Qin Yu shook his head and smiled. “It’s not that I cannot count them. Rather, it’s because I was able to count the amount that I found it hard to believe. There are over seventy thousand boards here.... from the past till now, there’s already been over seventy thousand Gold Punishnt Lords?”

“That’s right. The current Gold Punishnt Lord Majesty is already numbered over the seventy thousandth Gold Punishnt Lord.” Wen Feng nodded.

Qin Yu continued to ask. “In that case, how long would each generation’s Gold Punishnt Lord usually hold their position?”

Wen Feng smiled and shook his head. “That is very hard to say. So Gold Punishnt Lords ascended to their position when they were just a fifteen star Emperor. Soone like that might be a Gold Punishnt Lord for several millions of years or several tens of millions of years, before ascending to the Divine Realm. There are so... for example our current Gold Punishnt Lord, that took up the position at Eighteen Star Emperor level. Even though they’ve beco the Gold Punishnt Lord, they’ll also likely ascend to the Divine Realm in several tens of thousands of years or even earlier.”

Qin Yu nodded.

It was hard to tell how long each generation’s Gold Punishnt Lord would last. So were there for an extrely long ti and could be several tens of millions of years. So were there for a short period of ti and would be there for less than ten thousand years. However, with over seventy thousand Gold Punishnt Lords, even if each person were to be a Gold Punishnt Lord for an average of a million years, that would still be over seven hundred billions of years.

Furthermore, Qin Yu suspected that... the average number of years was more than a million years.

“Wen Feng, exactly how long does our Dark Star Realm’s history go back to?” Qin Yu asked.

Wen Feng muttered and shook his head. “I’m afraid that no one knows. As far as I know, the history of the Dark Star Realm was separated into two different phases. The first phase was without Inherited Treasures. At that ti, the Dark Star Realm was extrely chaotic. People were at war with one another constantly. This lasted until the Inherited Treasures appeared. Only then did the Dark Star Realm enter a peaceful developnt phase.”

Qin Yu was astonished.

Holy, the amount of years these seventy thousand Gold Punishnt Lords represented was rely the years when the Inherited Treasures appeared in the Dark Star Realm. Who knows exactly how long the chaotic period was?

The history of the Dark Star Realm was truly long.

Wen Feng gasped. “The people of our Dark Star Realm were very warlike. Without a powerful enough strength, who amongst us would serve soone? Only when the Three Inherited Treasures appeared did everyone in the Dark Star Realm start serving the holders of the Three Inherited Treasures.”

Qin Yu’s gaze was shot toward the back. Behind the front hall was the back great hall. The dinsion of the back great hall was much greater than the front hall. There were nurous sculptures there.

“Over there are the sculptures of every generation of Gold Punishnt Lords. Do you wish to go and admire them?” Said Wen Feng with a smile.

“Let it pass, it’s not even the actual person. What is there to admire?” Qin Yu said that and turned around. “Wen Feng, let’s proceed to the Inherited Palace. Oh, that’s right, what’s in the Inherited Palace?”

Wen Feng and Qin Yu walked as they chatted.

“The Inherited Palace is the location where each successive Gold Punishnt Lord rges with the Inherited Treasure. For example, after the previous Gold Punishnt Lord ascended to the Divine Realm, the Inherited Treasure had remained in the Inherited Palace the entire ti. This lasted all the way until His Majesty Xing Yuan appeared. Only then did he fuse with the Inherited Treasure. The person in charge of the Inherited Palace is the Guard Elder.” Wen Feng explained in details.

By the ti Wen Feng finished, the two of them had already arrived outside the Inherited Palace.

The Inherited Palace was very simple and unadorned. It was black all over. It gave off an ancient aura. rely standing outside the Inherited Palace would give one a repressive sensation.

“Liu Xing, Wen Feng, co inside.” A voice sounded from within the palace.

Qin Yu looked over. On the corner of the palace sat cross-legged a dark and thin old man. It was the Guard Elder. At this mont, the Guard Elder had already stood up and was walking toward Qin Yu and Wen Feng.

“What is the painting on the wall?” Qin Yu looked to the wall of the Inherited Palace in confusion.

On the walls were rows upon rows of carved pictures. With a sweep of his gaze, Qin Yu discovered that there were a total of ten thousand carved pictures on the wall.

“On the walls are so of the scenes of the people of our Dark Star Realm fighting each other before the appearance of the Inherited Treasures.” Said the Guard Elder.

Qin Yu suddenly looked to a picture amongst the many.

That picture was actually the Interstellar Map of the entire Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm. rely, there were a lot of symbols on this Interstellar Map. It was as if the entire Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm was occupied by the people of the Dark Star Realm.

“What’s with this? Where are the people from the Immortal Realm, Devil Realm and the Demon Realm?” Qin Yu asked curiously.

The Guard Elder had a long sigh. “After countless years, majority of our Dark Star Realm’s descendants have forgotten about it.... the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm was originally called the Dark Star Realm.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Yu was unable to refrain his shock.

What? The entire Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm was originally called the Dark Star Realm?

The Guard Elder closed his eyes and slowly said. “The people of our Dark Star Realm were the original residents of this Cosmic Space. As for those Immortals, Devil and Demons, they are all people who have ascended from the lower realm...rely, there are too many of them that have ascended to our Dark Star Realm. Furthermore, their ability to reproduce and multiply is truly too powerful, greatly surpassing us of the Dark Star Realm.”
