Cao Ya was stunned for a moment upon hearing this.
However, at this moment, Qin Yu had already taken out a long sword from the new universe. It was flowing with colorful light and rich in primordial spiritual energy. It was a first-class primordial spiritual treasure that had never been seen before!
But in reality, it's unnecessary, since Cao Ya already received a top-tier spiritual treasure from Qin Yu.
Furthermore, no matter how excellent a first-class spiritual treasure is, it wouldn't be of much use to him.
Only the Heavenly Venerable's spiritual treasures are truly handy!
Moreover, even if he truly possessed a Heavenly Venerable Treasure, in this realm of gods, Cao Ya would have no use for it in any fight.
Those you can defeat, you can still annihilate without using any magical treasures; but those you can't defeat... even a Heavenly Venerable's magical treasure is just a free kill.
"Brother Cao, I humbly request that you accept this."
Qin Yu felt that even he and Jiang Li, as parents, couldn't see Qin Shuang's excellence. Among everyone present, only God King Cao Ya was optimistic about her.
However, the cultivation of God King Cao Ya is quite different from that of the other kings... Therefore, having Qin Shuang become Cao Ya's disciple is clearly the best choice!
Let alone a top-tier Primordial Spiritual Treasure, Qin Yu would absolutely be willing to give up any Celestial Venerable Spiritual Treasure he could find!
Cao Ya initially wanted to refuse, but Qin Yu and Jiang Li repeatedly entrusted him with the task, making it impossible for him to decline.
Besides, he did indeed admire Qin Shuang.
In the end, he agreed.
Anyway, his lifespan is boundless, so he can easily spare some time to teach Qin Shuang.
As a child born in the realm of gods, Qin Shuang's development speed is often extremely fast. Before long, he can walk and talk. After all, he is not a divine beast and does not need such a long development period.
As Qin Shuang grew up, he also learned a lot and realized that his aptitude was very poor.
He studied diligently under his teacher Cao Ya, leaving no stone unturned and being extremely meticulous.
"In the early and middle stages of cultivation, things like immortal realms and gods are secondary."
"The key is how to comprehend the laws, especially the laws of space and time!"
Cao Ya didn't hold back either, and was indeed giving Qin Shuang careful guidance.
"In addition, the laws of life, death, destruction, destiny, cause and effect, the five elements, wind, thunder, etc., can also be studied if one has the talent."
"Before reaching the Celestial Venerable Realm, these things may only improve combat power, but they are of little help in breaking through the cultivation level."
"But in the end, who knows, it might come in very handy."
As Cao Ya spoke, he couldn't help but sigh.
Mastering one or two more profound laws will make you the strongest in battles between people of the same level!
When time and space are fully mastered, one reaches the level of a Celestial Venerable.
However, the path to becoming a controller... Hongmeng is born divine, and the transcendent paths of Lin Meng and Qin Yu are not suitable for ordinary people and are difficult to emulate.
Cao Ya believes that if one has thoroughly comprehended all kinds of laws and rules, and all the laws of the myriad paths are in one's heart, how could one not reach the seven-star level with such supreme cultivation?
However, this path is extremely difficult, and Cao Ya is still far from achieving great success.
"Mm." Qin Shuang carefully memorized her master's words, regardless of whether she understood them now or not.
Cao Ya smiled.
Qin Shuang's character is resolute, as firm as a rock, and indestructible, which greatly pleases him as her teacher.
Of course, Qin Shuang's strength is also related to the reason why she developed such a personality.
He was merely a lower-level deity, considered weak within the Misty City.
Looking at the divine realm, it's utterly insignificant.
In particular, he had parents who were both at the God-King level, and his elder brother Qin Si, who reached the level of Upper God in a short period of time!
The contrast between the two situations makes people sigh whenever they see Qin Shuang.
It's not so much a matter of pointing fingers, since there aren't many outsiders in Misty City, so the feeling is more one of regret.
But this is also a huge pressure for a child, almost suffocating!
Therefore, Qin Shuang worked hard and followed Cao Ya, wanting to learn real skills.
However, comprehending the profound meaning of the laws is no easy task.
Cao Ya's demonstration may have given Qin Shuang some inspiration at most; whether it will work out depends on him.
"Don't feel pressured," Cao Ya said with a smile. "If you go to the lower realm, even a plane at the first level of the Immortal, Demon, or Monster realm, you will be invincible with your power as a lower-level god."
"The mortal realm of the first level is even more so; destroying the heavens and the earth is nothing more than a trivial matter."
Qin Shuang's face was very serious as she replied, "Master, we cannot destroy the world! So many innocent lives have been lost!"
Cao Ya was speechless; it was just a metaphor.
Qin Shuang said in a low voice, "I understand. Lower-level gods are very weak in the God Realm, but in the lower planes, they are super strong!"
"But if I were born in a lower plane, I would never become a god in this lifetime!"
"This is due to the favorable environment, not my ability."
Qin Shuang understood this very well and would not be proud of it.
In the unfathomably deep city of Misty City, he had nothing to be proud of.
"My elder brother isn't much older than me, yet he's already a high-ranking deity." Qin Shuang said with some disappointment.
He was pleased with his elder brother Qin Si's progress, but considering his own family's situation, his frustration was inevitable.
Cao Ya reached out and rubbed Qin Shuang's head, saying, "The divine being is immortal and eternal."
"Whether one becomes a god a few years earlier or a few years later has little impact."
"Whether one can become a God-King or a Celestial Venerable is of paramount importance!"
Qin Shuang nodded her head like a chick pecking at rice, listening attentively to her master's teachings.
While teaching Qin Shuang, Cao Ya also made a breakthrough, comprehending the Heavenly Seal and reaching the third stage of the King realm, "Time Freeze".
The Heavenly Seal is indeed primarily about "time acceleration," but it also touches upon "time stillness" and "time reversal."
Even with "time acceleration," Cao Ya can accelerate time by millions of times!
"Boom!" One day, the divine realm was shaken, and the Heavenly Venerable Mountain in the Inner Sea and the Asura Sea emitted a strange sound.
Immediately, the space trembled, and dozens of God Kings headed straight for Heavenly Venerable Mountain!
Each god-king had a cold and stern expression, filled with an unwavering determination to win!
The eight royal families, the three ascended powers, the reclusive god-kings of the God Realm Continent and the God Realm Ocean, and several god-kings of Misty City...
"Hiss." They used their fully mastered spatial laws to teleport directly to the outer perimeter of Tianzun Mountain, and then, without saying a word, flew through the relief-carved passage and entered the interior.
On the Misty City side, Qin Yu, Jiang Li, Hou Fei, and Hei Yu did not participate in the competition.
Qin Yu used the power of the new universe to spread towards Tianzun Mountain, exploring various movements. With a wave of his hand, he manifested a water mirror light screen within the mansion, reflecting the scene there.
The crowd sat in front of the screen like spectators, drinking divine wine and fruits, chatting and watching.
However, Cao Ya, Death God King, Yi Feng God King, and Jiang Lan went to Tianzun Mountain together.
"Do you think Brother Cao can obtain the Houtu Seal this time?" Qin Yu asked with a smile.
“It’s uncertain!” Hei Yu said. “After the first encounter, those God Kings will probably join forces to target Brother Cao! Two fists can’t fight four hands. Uncle Lan and the others will also be blocked by enemies and unable to support Brother Cao.”
"On the contrary, I think he has a pretty good chance." Hou Fei stroked his chin.
"Look, several major powers are about to form an alliance!" Jiang Li said.
Everyone stared intently.
"Master, we must win!" Qin Shuang clenched her little fists.
Inside that Heavenly Venerable Mountain, Cao Ya, Jiang Lan, and the other two were immediately surrounded by dozens of God Kings as soon as they landed.
"Cao Ya, you're too strong! If we don't eliminate you guys first, we'll never be able to get the Houtu Seal!"
The Asura God King spoke, looking at Cao Ya in the arena with a mixture of fear and emotion in his eyes.
Who would have thought that he, once hailed as the "First God King," would now be joining forces with others?
But the battle when the Azure Heaven Seal was born was still vivid in his mind; he was indeed no match for Cao Ya.
The God-Kings of the three ascended forces—Shura Sea, Blood Demon Mountain, and Twin Domains Island—are all aligning themselves with the Asura God-King.
“Buzz…” Strange light rippled from the bodies of the kings, connecting and perfectly merging with each other, achieving an effect greater than the sum of its parts.
Further afield, the seven innate royal families—the Arctic Snowdrift City, the Northwest Thunder Punishment City, the Northeast Forest City, the Southeast Underground City, the Antarctic Mirror City, the Western Flame Mountain, and the Southwest Azure Lake—have also united.
Only the Eastern Pole Golden Mountain, where Cao Ya once served, and the Eastern Pole Holy Emperor, after much consideration, still did not form an array.
Most importantly, he didn't believe that defeating Cao Ya would make him a contender for the title of God King.
If that's the case, why ruin our friendship with God King Cao Ya?
Meanwhile, the reclusive god-kings of the East Sea, West Sea, South Sea, and the mainland are united against a common enemy.
"This is not good!" Yi Feng, the God King, exclaimed, his expression changing.
"We're under siege! So many God-Kings, some in the second stage and some in the third stage..." Jiang Lan's expression tightened.
"The seven Holy Emperors and the Asura God King possess even more first-class Primordial Spiritual Treasures!" said the Death God King, his gaze sweeping over the seven Holy Emperors, his face filled with murderous intent.
The fall of the God of Life was caused by the Holy Emperor joining forces to activate a top-tier spiritual treasure, freezing space and rendering teleportation ineffective, leading to his being surrounded and killed.
The laws of space, personal supernatural powers, such as collapse or teleportation, cannot freeze things.
This requires top-tier spiritual treasures—specifically, the few top-tier primordial spiritual treasures that the universe nurtured and bestowed upon the eight royal families—to work together to freeze the fluctuations of the spatial laws, achieving a state comparable to time standing still!
With such great supernatural power, not being able to "stop time" means certain death!
This is the ultimate move of the local royal family!
But the God of Death knew that the God of Cao Ya was already in the third stage.
However, the Ascended faction led by the Asura God King and the faction of the Hidden God King should not be underestimated. Compared to the faction of the God Realm royal family led by the Seven Holy Emperors, they are not weaker.
Anyway, with the abilities of the Death God King, Yi Feng God King, and Jiang Lan, they can forget about escaping alive!
Even though Death God King and Jiang Lan were among the best in the second stage, and Yi Feng God King was no less formidable and possessed the first-class spiritual treasure "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains," they were still difficult to contend with.
“Get behind me!” Cao Ya said, glancing around and grinning.
"We can't be reckless. How about we use my 'Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains' first..." Yi Feng Shenwang said telepathically, reminding Cao Ya that such a dangerous situation must be treated with utmost care. The slightest carelessness could lead to death and the annihilation of his soul.
Although, thanks to Qin Yu's presence, all four of them now possess first-class spiritual treasures.
However, the treasures in the hands of Cao Ya, Jiang Lan, and the God of Death are all specialized in the art of killing.
When it comes to defense, nothing beats "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains," unparalleled in the divine realm!
"No need. The three of you just need to take care of yourselves. Leave these God Kings to me," Cao Ya said calmly.
His calm and composed demeanor drew everyone's attention.
"This..." Jiang Lan, Yi Feng God King, and Death God King exchanged glances and secretly clicked their tongues. Was Cao Ya God King a little too high?
"We are ready to provide support at any time!" Jiang Lan transmitted her voice. "We all possess top-tier spiritual treasures, which is beyond our opponents' expectations. If they focus on dealing with Cao Ya, it will give us an opportunity!"
"With the combined power of the three of us, even the Asura God King would change color!"
"This can be considered a way of attacking what the enemy must defend, indirectly relieving Cao Ya's predicament."
The three of them kept a close watch on things, their presence subtly creating a threat to the kings!
However, the kings' attention was still mainly focused on Cao Ya.
As long as Cao Ya is killed, those three are like scabies, not worth worrying about.
"You want to fight all of us by yourself?" the Northwest Holy Emperor sneered.
"How arrogant! In the history of the God Realm, no one has ever been more conceited than you!" The Holy Emperor of the Northeast sneered.
"Although we no longer have the Eastern Holy Emperor, all seven of us are still here, with our clan-protecting spiritual treasures and the assistance of the divine kings of various royal families... Cao Ya, what do you have to fight us with?" the Southeast Holy Emperor said proudly.
The Antarctic Holy Emperor, the Southwest Holy Emperor, the Western Holy Emperor, and others were all filled with murderous intent, confident in their ability to win.
Their lineup is undoubtedly equivalent to a joint attack by the seven royal families.
Even though each family has a God-King left behind at their headquarters to guard against unforeseen circumstances, it's because not every royal God-King has reached the second stage!
But the Holy Emperor appeared with the clan's treasure, and one or two God Kings followed him... The combined power of the seven forces was simply beyond compare!
The seven Holy Emperors estimated that their combined "space freeze" would be too much for even a typical "time freeze."
After all, they are all top performers in the "time acceleration" level.
"Even if something unexpected happens, I still have a backup plan!"
A cold glint flashed in the eyes of the Arctic Holy Emperor "Jiang Fan".
He has entrusted the Northwest Holy Emperor to invite the Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerable. He only needs to shout once, and he will immediately appear!
He refused to believe that anyone could defeat the Thunder Punishment Celestial Venerable!
Even though the Carefree Celestial Venerable also appeared, there was a certain gap in combat power between the two Celestial Venerables.
Without a doubt, Thunder Punishment Celestial Venerable is stronger than Carefree Celestial Venerable!
As for the Celestial Venerable of Floating Feathers, it is impossible for him to participate.
"At that time, let Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerable kill Cao Ya and also injure the Asura God King and the Blood Demon Queen!"
"Not only is the Houtu Seal in my grasp, but the Wanmin Seal will also be mine soon!"
"If it weren't for the sake of the Carefree Celestial Venerable... humph, I would have slaughtered all these ascended god-kings!"
A cruel thought flashed through the mind of the Arctic Holy Emperor.
But he didn't show it on his face.
"Brother Luo Fan, don't hold back in the upcoming battle to annihilate Cao Ya!"
"Only by eliminating Cao Ya will we have a chance!"
"Otherwise, they are all defeated by Cao Ya, so why should they compete with him?"
The Northwest Holy Emperor spoke to the Asura God King, his words containing a provocative intent.
After all, who doesn't know that the Asura God King "Luo Fan" is the number one king in the God Realm!
It's just that now it's changed hands, with Cao Ya, the God King, taking the crown.
These second-stage god-kings, who were never "number one," had a much more stable mindset.
“That’s right, kill Cao Ya first, then we’ll fight for ownership of the Heavenly Venerable Treasure!” the Arctic Holy Emperor said solemnly.
"A lifetime of waiting, too many variables, who knows what kind of monster might appear in the future!"
Even a reclusive god-king couldn't help but sigh.
All the kings fell silent for a moment.
