After talking for a while, everyone left, including the God of Flowers.
Huangfu Jing then led Qin Yu, Cao Ya, and the others to the residence arranged by the Eastern Holy Emperor.
Yuchi Gonglan didn't come with them because he wanted to catch up with old friends. Huangfu Liejun and Huangfu Liehuo also didn't come. However, the lovely little girl Huangfu Ling, like a lark, followed the group to the West District.
However, no one would overlook Huangfu Ling because of her petite stature.
Not to mention that she is the daughter of the Eastern Holy Emperor and the Princess of Xuanjin Mountain.
Even in terms of cultivation alone, Huangfu Ling is a dignified Central Heavenly God!
Among the group, only Huangfu Jing, Qin Yu, and Qiu Zhongfu could outshine her; Cao Ya, Hei Yu, and Uncle Fu were no match for Huangfu Ling.
Of course, Cao Ya was not discouraged by this.
Don't let Huangfu Ling's petite appearance fool you; she's actually over 10 billion years old!
So, Jiang Li is actually many times older than Qin Yu... So what's this? A young cow trying to eat old grass?
Well, in a world where lifespan is infinite, talking about age is actually pretty meaningless...
Apart from close relatives...
Cao Ya looked at Qin Yu with a slightly strange expression, which made him somewhat confused.
On their way to the residence bestowed by the Holy Emperor of the East, after entering the West District, the group encountered some celestial disciples under the command of the God of Flowers. They were all women and quite arrogant, not even paying much attention to Princess Huangfu Jing and Princess Huangfu Ling.
“Although my aunt is a God-King, she spoils and protects the disciples of her Hundred Flowers Palace very much. This makes those women arrogant and ignorant. I estimate that on Xuanjin Mountain, apart from the three God-Kings and the three Palace Masters, they don’t care about me, one of the nine captains.” Huangfu Jing frowned slightly.
By this time, they had already distanced themselves from the group of women from the Hundred Flowers Royal Palace, and their divine senses had spread out, enough to block the detection of those below the level of a God-King.
In fact, even the God King could detect Qin Yu's new world spatial power.
"Those women, relying on Aunt's favor, are incredibly arrogant and domineering. They're practically lawless in this West District. Even Father and Uncle, because this is Aunt's territory, don't dare to interfere and are unwilling to manage it," Huangfu Ling muttered, wrinkling her small nose and snorting, "They're really annoying!"
Cao Ya, Qin Yu, Hei Yu, Qiu Zhongfu, and Uncle Fu exchanged glances but remained silent.
Huangfu Jing and Huangfu Ling are princesses of Xuanjin Mountain and nieces of the Hundred Flower God King. They can talk freely, and neither the Eastern Holy Emperor nor the Hundred Flower God King cares.
But if it were them...
A jolt ran through them, and they quickly dismissed any further thoughts.
Let the disciples of the God-King be arrogant; it's none of their business anyway.
Furthermore, they didn't dare to concern themselves with the conduct of the God King's disciples!
"It seems we need to be more careful in the West District from now on," Qin Yu said softly.
The West District is the territory of the Hundred Flowers Prince's Mansion, and the mansion bestowed by the Eastern Holy Emperor is also located here. In the future, one will inevitably have to deal with those arrogant members of the Hundred Flowers Prince's Mansion.
Cao Ya and Hei Yu both looked at Qin Yu with expressions of agreement, but their expressions held a different meaning.
Qin Yu was puzzled for a moment, then suddenly realized, and immediately became depressed.
“One of us is a lower-level celestial being, and the other is only a high-level deity. We’re insignificant, so no one will come looking for us. Brother, from now on, you’ll have to handle things yourself!” Hei Yu said earnestly. “We’ll focus on cultivating and improving our strength so we can help you! Of course, if there’s any battle, you must call us!”
"Things outside of combat... hey, in a place like Xuanjin Mountain, Qin Yu, you'll just have to handle them yourself," Cao Ya laughed.
As for Qiu Zhongfu and Fu Bo, one was Qin Yu's close attendant and the other was Qin Yu's steward. The former naturally obeyed Qin Yu's orders completely, while the latter was not in charge of combat or involved in external affairs. He only needed to take care of the internal affairs of the mansion.
Of course, given Qin Yu's actual strength, Cao Ya and Hei Yu, who only possessed the power of a lower-level celestial being, had no right to interfere in the battles he was involved in.
However, one is a brother and the other is a friend, so they certainly won't sit idly by and will have to do their part.
"A battle? There's a chance." Qin Yu stroked his chin and smiled.
Kuroba was taken aback, then looked surprised.
"Qin Yu, are you confident about the competition a year from now? Should we..." Huangfu Jing asked, her brows slightly furrowed.
"Thank you for your kindness, Princess Jing! However, I am also confident," Qin Yu said confidently, not wanting to involve Huangfu Jing in this matter, otherwise Huangfu Jing would also be in a difficult position.
Hei Yu, Qiu Zhongfu, and Fu Bo were surprised and curious, wondering what had happened that made the Eastern Emperor speak first, followed by Princess Huangfu Jing's concern.
Cao Ya had her own guesses, but remained relatively calm.
"The women from the Hundred Flowers Prince's Mansion were even more arrogant than before; they were probably testing you," Huangfu Jing speculated.
"Hmm." Qin Yu nodded, not minding at all.
Even the God of Flowers doesn't know his trump card.
However, this matter cannot be handled by me alone. The middle and lower stages of the Heavenly God realm will require the help of others...
After thinking it over, Qin Yu had a general idea of who to choose.
A short while later, Huangfu Jing led a group of people to Liuyun Mansion.
This was the residence where the Holy Emperor of the Eastern Pole would occasionally stop when he went out, and now it has been bestowed upon Qin Yu.
There are more than a dozen celestial servants in the manor. Huangfu Jing originally wanted Qin Yu to stay, and she could go to the Eastern Holy Emperor to put in a good word for him.
However, Qin Yu didn't want to trouble Huangfu Jing too much. Besides, he controlled over a hundred celestial beings under his God-Locking Tower, all within the Jianglan Realm. He didn't need any more heads to fill Liuyun Mansion and increase its popularity.
When Huangfu Jing and Huangfu Ling learned that Qin Yu possessed a spatial artifact, their eyes widened in surprise.
"I don't have any." Huangfu Ling wrinkled her small nose, determined to ask her father to forge a spatial artifact for her.
"You..." Huangfu Jing had no choice but to leave with her younger sister.
Meanwhile, after everyone settled into Liuyun Mansion, Qin Yu released the celestial servants from Jianglan Realm and recounted his experiences in the Eastern Holy Emperor's Palace.
It turned out that because of Qin Yu's status as a master of formations, the Eastern Holy Emperor originally wanted to bestow upon him the title of Lord of Lanxuan Palace, but was stopped by the Hundred Flower God King and had to give up.
"Xuanjin Mountain actually has four temples?" Qiu Zhongfu exclaimed in surprise.
"No! There are five. You forgot to count the Eastern Holy Emperor's Palace," Qin Yu corrected.
“That has nothing to do with any of us.” Cao Ya shook his head and said, “The Lanxuan Palace, the Heifeng Palace, the Liejun Palace, and the Tianhuang Palace—the latter three palaces already have palace masters, whose positions are highly prestigious, second only to the three great god-kings.”
"The position of Palace Master of Lanxuan Palace has been vacant for countless years. Qin Yu, according to you, before you came, this position was contested by Xue Yu, a disciple of the Hundred Flower Goddess, and Dong Hou from the Heavenly God Army?"
As Cao Ya spoke, she looked at Qin Yu.
Qin Yu nodded.
"Why fight over this hot potato?" Black Feather shook his head.
Qin Yu gave a wry smile.
“Alright, I forgot, brother. If you’re going to propose marriage in the Arctic Snowdrift City, having the position of the Palace Master of the Eastern Pole Golden Mountain would definitely increase your chances,” Black Feather said apologetically.
“In Xuanjin Mountain, the power of the Palace Master is second only to that of the God King,” Qiu Zhongfu sighed. If he joined Xuanjin Mountain alone, he would at most be an ordinary Upper God, not even daring to dream of the position of one of the nine captains, let alone the Palace Master who is above him.
While everyone was discussing, the bandit gods who had come out of Jianglan Realm and arrived at Liuyun Mansion were still in a daze and hadn't come to their senses.
They never imagined that they would actually follow Qin Yu to the Eastern Extreme Golden Mountain!
This is a sacred site in the eastern region of the divine realm!
It's not like any god would want to join; Xuanjin Mountain would take them all.
As a result, Qin Yu was personally summoned by the Eastern Holy Emperor upon his arrival, who even wanted to bestow upon him the position of Palace Master of Lanxuan Palace?!
Even though they failed to succeed due to the obstruction of the God of Flowers, at least they now have the qualifications to compete!
Recalling the power of the Black Wind Palace Master, the Heavenly Desolation Palace Master, and the Rift Lord Palace Master, all the gods felt as if they were in a dream.
“No wonder the servants of the Hundred Flowers Palace made things so difficult for us after we entered the West District. We have only ourselves to thank for the two princesses,” Uncle Fu said with a smile. “A year from now, our master will surely return victorious and obtain the position of Lord of Lanxuan Palace.”
"That's only right." Qin Yu grinned, quite confidently.
However, he would not underestimate Xueyu and Donghou, and would still make serious preparations.
"I, Xueyu, and Donghou will compete for the position of Lord of Lanxuan Palace. I am backed by the Holy Emperor of the Eastern Pole, Xueyu is the Goddess of a Hundred Flowers, and Donghou has the Heavenly Army and the support of Huangfu Liejun, who is both the eldest prince of Xuanjin Mountain and the Lord of Liejun Palace."
Qin Yu analyzed:
"Before you went in, this matter had already been agreed upon. One year later, the three parties will go to war, with the upper gods, the middle gods, and the lower gods fighting respectively."
"Master, I am willing to join the battle and will do my utmost!" Qiu Zhongfu said solemnly.
"The upper-level celestial being who is participating in this battle may not necessarily be you." Qin Yu shook his head.
Qiu Zhong was taken aback.
Everyone was surprised.
Does Qin Yu have other upper-level celestial beings under his command?!
"As for the Central Heavenly Gods..." Qin Yu looked at the ten Central Heavenly Gods.
"I am the strongest!" Tan Jiu declared without hesitation, looking down at the other nine Central Heavenly Gods.
The nine people smiled bitterly, but they couldn't refute it.
Indeed, in terms of the Central Heavenly Gods alone, Tan Jiu has almost reached the limit of cultivation. Moreover, because he is a super divine beast, the "Nine-Headed Black Dragon," and comes from the Demon Killing Realm, he has extremely rich experience in killing and has powerful combat strength.
Even if you searched the entire divine realm, you would probably find it difficult to find many central heavenly gods who could rival Tan Jiu.
"Alright, 'Black Dragon' Tan Jiu, the battle for the Central Celestial Gods is now in your hands," Qin Yu said solemnly. "I will give you a high-grade Celestial Artifact. If you win, the Celestial Artifact will be yours!"
Upon hearing this, Tan Jiu's eyes turned red.
The other gods, even Qiu Zhongfu, a god of the upper realm, had burning eyes.
That's a top-grade divine artifact!
Why have they fallen to this state?
Wasn't it because Qin Yu possessed a superior-grade divine artifact that they coveted it and became greedy, which led to their fall into Mini Mountain, being controlled by the God-Locking Tower, and becoming Qin Yu's servants?
"Hey, if the enemy is really the Central Heavenly God, then I will definitely win!" Tan Jiu was full of confidence, even more so than Qin Yu himself.
The nine central gods looked at him with envy, their eyes burning with resentment.
However, Tan Jiu's strength is indeed beyond their reach, and this is something that must be acknowledged.
"As for the lower-level gods... Cao Ya, Xiao Hei, do you want to join the battle?" Qin Yu hesitated for a moment before asking.
"This concerns my elder brother's position as Palace Master, how could I back down?" Hei Yu laughed. "It's time for my 'Flowing Light Spear Dao' to show its brilliance in the God Realm!"
"Hmph, the laws of time and space are the fundamental laws of the universe. Does one have to comprehend the laws of space before being qualified to comprehend the laws of time?"
"That's prejudice!"
"I, Hei Yu, will make the fame of the 'Flowing Light Spear Style' resound throughout the God Realm!"
A glint of light flashed in Hei Yu's eyes.
Seeing Hei Yu's confident demeanor, Qin Yu smiled.
Xiao Hei hasn't shown this kind of emotional state since Fei Fei was taken away by that mysterious expert...
Qin Yu felt that if the gods wanted to covet the "Flowing Light Spear Path," he was not afraid at all and could block them all. He might even have to recruit a new batch of servants.
As for the God King, his understanding of the laws of time is far beyond that of Black Feather, so how could he possibly pay too much attention to him?
Indeed, it's not necessarily true that one can only comprehend the Law of Time after achieving perfection in the Law of Space...
Qin Yu thought to himself, "Should I also try to touch upon the laws of time?"
"I'll give it a try too," Cao Ya said softly, quite interested in the battle for the position of Palace Master of Lanxuan Palace a year later.
"Cao Ya, there is only one spot for the battle. With so many lower-level gods here, who will be chosen in the end? You, me, or one of them?" Hei Yu drew a divine spear, his fighting spirit soaring, and surveyed the group of lower-level gods.
This includes Cao Ya, who is at the higher level of the divine realm.
Cao Ya smiled, not showing much fighting spirit.
However, he also had considerable confidence in his own abilities.
My methods are far beyond your imagination...
Not only the two of them, but also most of the hundred or so lower-level gods were filled with fighting spirit.
A top-grade divine artifact!
Who doesn't yearn for it?
Only a small number of lower-level gods, knowing their hopes were dashed, could only sigh in regret.
"Let's go to Jianglan Realm." Qin Yu opened Jianglan Realm, and everyone disappeared. Inside the Liuyun Mansion courtyard, only particles from Jianglan Realm remained suspended.
Meanwhile, on the second level of Jiang Lan Realm, Wu Lan, Wu He, Lu Shui, and Hong Yu were also very excited after learning about this, and watched the battle from the sidelines.
The lower-level gods faced off in pairs, trying to select the strongest.
"When the time comes to actually participate in the war, I will offer a top-grade Heavenly Artifact. Even if it's too conspicuous for a lower-level Heavenly God to wield a top-grade Heavenly Artifact, and it will attract the covetous eyes of other Heavenly Gods, making it difficult to bestow it upon them after victory, I will still choose the best quality mid-grade Heavenly Artifacts to give away," Qin Yu said, hoping that these lower-level Heavenly Gods would show their true strength and not hold back.
As expected, once the battle began, various innate talents and supernatural abilities left Qin Yu, Uncle Fu, Qiu Zhongfu, Tan Jiu, and the others watching the battle dazzled.
"None of those who can cultivate to become lower-level gods are weak! If it weren't for the special nature of the array space, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to subdue these lower-level gods," Qin Yu sighed.
“Whether it’s a divine beast from the lower realm, a native creature from the divine realm, or a human, anyone who can reach this level has a trump card up their sleeve and something to rely on,” Qiu Zhongfu said. “I once encountered a dragon-type divine beast whose innate divine power involved the law of time. At that time, I, a middle-level celestial being, almost capsized when dealing with him, a lower-level celestial being. If I hadn’t had a mid-grade divine artifact, I might not have been able to kill him.”
As he spoke, Qiu Zhongfu also sighed deeply.
That happened billions of years ago.
"It seems that winning this battle won't be so easy. I may have been too confident." Qin Yu took a deep breath, adjusted his attitude, and became increasingly cautious.
If one's own side is powerful, while the other side either has the support of a God-King or an army of nearly an entire God-King, then selecting a strong person of the same level is by no means a difficult task!
