"Cao Ya, where in the God Realm are you from? You're so skilled in formations. There shouldn't be anyone like you near Yuchi City, otherwise I would have heard of you," Qin Yu said with a smile.
"Oh, you're so wrong to think that way." Cao Ya revealed his background. When Qin Yu heard that Cao Ya was actually a high-level deity from Black Dragon Pool, and then left Black Dragon Pool, he was really surprised.
"Are you really from Black Dragon Pool?" Qin Yu asked suspiciously. If that were true, why was the divine being from Black Dragon Pool who broke his miniature mountain formation so weak?
Furthermore, Black Dragon Pool would definitely treasure a master of formations like Cao Ya, constantly dispatching various powerful figures to follow and protect him closely.
Although Cao Ya's strength doesn't seem weak.
After all, Black Dragon Pool was just a bandit force; it was impossible and unlikely that they would send a celestial being to protect a master of formations at the level of a god.
There are only four celestial beings in Black Dragon Pool.
"Cao Ya, what are you doing at Black Dragon Pool? With your strength—regardless of your cultivation level, just considering your array formations—even if you joined the forces of the overlord of Yuchi City, the number one expert of Yuchi City who followed the Eastern Holy Emperor in his campaigns and made great contributions—the City Lord of Yuchi—you would definitely be highly regarded. You might even have a lower-level celestial being sent to protect you." Qin Yu was very curious. With such a good place to go, why did Cao Ya choose to become a bandit at Black Dragon Pool?!
It's really incomprehensible!
"You didn't side with either side either, did you? Brother Qin Yu's strength is no less than mine in any aspect, is it?" Cao Ya laughed.
"My situation is rather special," Qin Yu said, shaking his head.
But when he saw Cao Ya's smiling expression, he suddenly realized what was going on.
Ah, that's right. I have my own aspirations; I don't want to expose myself, nor do I want to casually pledge allegiance to any particular divine power. Cao Ya probably feels the same way...
Qin Yu nodded secretly.
He is the successor of the "God of Craftsmen," and if this identity is exposed, it will inevitably attract the attention of all parties in the divine realm.
Before becoming powerful, Qin Yu felt that he didn't need to be so high-profile.
Qin Yu's plan to become the next "Master Craftsman" was to achieve fame and success so that he could marry Jiang Li.
Qin Yu pondered that no power could refuse a son-in-law who was a "master craftsman."
Even the eight great divine races and the three ascended forces would never refuse!
Having thought it through so much, he certainly wouldn't suggest going to join Lord Yuchi's forces.
Even if you want to pledge allegiance, you have to wait until he becomes stronger and, as a master weapon refiner, go directly to pledge allegiance to the Eastern Holy Emperor.
Only in this way can one gain more attention and a higher status.
After all, although Lord Yuchi, a high-level celestial being, was very strong, he was far inferior to a god-king like the Eastern Holy Emperor. They were not even in the same league.
Qin Yu thought to himself that even if he couldn't become the only God of Craftsmen in the God Realm like Che Houyuan, he was determined to become a Master of Weapon Forging.
How can I have the confidence to marry Li'er if I don't become a master weapon refiner?
Qin Yu had long known that Jiang Li's background was extraordinary; even in the God Realm, it was a top-tier power.
Perhaps it is one of the eleven super powers in the God Realm.
It could be one of the eight great divine races, or one of the three ascended powers.
Because of Jiang Lan and Jiang Yan, Qin Yu is more inclined to believe that Jiang Li is from one of the eight great divine clans.
Otherwise, how could they be of the same surname and clan?
It's not even guaranteed that the forces formed by those who ascended from the lower realms were actually from the same sub-universe, let alone those from the same clan.
Only the eight great divine races are like this.
The thought of the Eastern Holy Emperor's majesty and the Eastern Golden Mountain's formidable strength put Qin Yu under immense pressure.
He was also aware that among Jiang Li's suitors were many formidable figures.
For example, Zhou Xian, who once chased after people all the way to the mortal realm.
In terms of strength alone, through arduous cultivation, I don't know how many billions of years it would take me to become a High God. As for a God-King... ha, I have no confidence in achieving that... For billions of years, no new God-King has appeared in the God Realm... And will a High God without a background, without qualifications, and without a good origin really be valued by the eight great divine races? It's highly unlikely...
Only by becoming a master craftsman, or even a god of craftsmanship, will I have enough confidence to marry Li'er...
Qin Yu's eyes were resolute.
Through Uncle Fu's introduction, he clearly knew that when the "God of Craftsmanship" Che Houyuan was still in the divine realm, he was very powerful and his status was no less than that of the God King.
I don't aspire to become a "master craftsman" like Senior Che Hou; I'll be content as long as I can break through to the Grandmaster level in weapon crafting...
Qin Yu thought to himself.
In fact, let alone the God of Crafts, even the Grandmaster of Weapon Forging is a guest of honor of the major powers in the God Realm.
If Qin Yu was unwilling to pledge allegiance to the divine forces prematurely and thus limit himself because he was the successor of Che Houyuan and because of his pursuit of Jiang Lidi, then...
The reason why Cao Ya did not seek refuge with the powerful forces in the divine realm is quite clear and simple.
Who told him to have just entered the system space and obtained the memories and powers shared by the others?
If they had gone in earlier, before Qin Yu ascended to immortality, Cao Yabao would not have been allowed to leave the Black Dragon Pool and, relying on his expertise in formations and weapon crafting, would have directly pledged allegiance to the nearest major power—Lord Yuchi!
But now, Cao Ya felt that he didn't need to seek refuge with Lord Yuchi.
Although Lord Yuchi City is a high-ranking deity, he is also a senior subordinate of the Eastern Holy Emperor and is highly regarded—otherwise, he would not be able to become the lord of Yuchi City!
But compared to the future God of Craftsmen and the first-level Hongmeng controller, let alone the Lord of Yuchi City, even the Eastern Holy Emperor is no match for him.
Cao Ya doesn't necessarily want to pledge allegiance to Qin Yu. Making a good relationship and being able to take advantage of him in the future would also be a good thing.
Of course, his little scheme of building relationships in advance and then taking advantage of others in the future cannot be told truthfully.
So he made up an excuse for himself, saying that he had accidentally obtained a scroll of formations. Because it was so valuable, he dared not show it to anyone and secretly cultivated it. After avenging his great enemy, he had nowhere else to go, so he threw himself into the Black Dragon Pool.
Now, tens of millions of years have passed, and his cultivation has improved again, touching the threshold of the lower-level gods. Therefore, he is restless and determined to leave the Black Dragon Pool and no longer rely on the protection of this bandit force. He wants to venture into the God Realm alone, firstly to comprehend the laws of space and break through to the lower-level gods, and secondly to broaden his horizons, improve his array formation skills, and try to become a master craftsman in the God Realm.
“In this realm of gods, although there are three great celestial beings, what kind of figures are they? They are like dragons whose heads and tails are never seen. So, in fact, the overlords of the realm of gods are the various god kings. No matter how strong a celestial being is, they are no match for a god king,” Cao Ya sighed.
Qin Yu nodded in deep agreement.
It was precisely because he realized this that he set his sights on becoming a "master craftsman".
"So, you're thinking of becoming a master weapon refiner and then joining one of the eight great divine clans? Or one of the three ascended forces?" Qin Yu asked with a smile.
Although he knew that Cao Ya was a native of the God Realm, what kind of person was a master weapon refiner?
If they are willing to seek refuge with the three major ascendant powers, they will certainly welcome them warmly and will not turn them away simply because they are natives of the divine realm.
Just like how many ascended beings have joined the ranks of the eight great divine races.
