Qin Yu could only shake his head and smile.
Qin Yu could tell that Miss Huang Jing felt somewhat fondly towards him at most, and in his view, she seemed to be connected with the Huangfu Family of the East Pole Saint Emperor.
"Miss Huang Jing and Huangfu Liushui are siblings, and the East Pole Saint Emperor belongs to the Huangfu Family. Perhaps her real name should be ’Huangfu Jing’," Qin Yu thought to himself.
Suddenly, Qin Yu’s attention was captured by the three Man brothers.
The leader of the Man brothers, ’Man Chou,’ was walking towards Qin Yu, followed by the indifferent Man Fan, while Man Fei was muttering, seemingly uninterested in interacting more with Qin Yu.
As the eldest brother, Man Chou approached Qin Yu and smiled, "Brother Qin Yu, I am Man Chou. Let me introduce you, this is my second brother, Man Fan, and my youngest brother, Man Fei. It’s our first meeting, and we hope you can visit us at the Three-pronged Mountain in the future. We would definitely welcome you warmly."
In Man Chou’s view, although Qin Yu had only recently reached the rank of a Lower Heavenly God, his proficiency in formations was remarkable, and he also possessed an Upper Grade Heavenly Divine Artifact. Plus, having ties with Miss Huang Jing suggested a not-so-ordinary background. Such a person was worth befriending.
Man Fan nodded slightly towards Qin Yu, saying formally, "Man Fan has met brother Qin Yu." Man Fei, on the other hand, reluctantly clasped his hands together.
"My youngest brother is a bit crude; please don’t mind it too much," Man Chou said with a smile.
Qin Yu found it odd that the three brothers looked almost identical, yet their temperaments were completely different. Man Chou seemed somewhat smooth, Man Fan somewhat cold, and as for Man Fei, his personality was as his appearance suggested.
"Brother Man Chou, seeing the three of you reminds me of a good friend I had in the Lower Realm. May I ask if the three of you possibly come from the Immortal Demon Demon World?" Qin Yu asked with a smile, probing.
A flash of surprise crossed Man Chou’s eyes, and the usually indifferent Man Fan also looked at Qin Yu, but it was Man Fei who reacted most strongly. His eyes widened as he stared at Qin Yu and exclaimed, "Ah, Qin Yu, are you also from the Immortal Demon Demon World? Ha, did you ever hear about the three great Bull Demon Emperors when you were there? By the way, when did you ascend? Who was the Bull Demon Emperor when you ascended? Man Tian, Man Yu? When we ascended, the Super Divine Beasts of the Niu Clan were just these two."
Man Fei spoke so much in one breath, and upon seeing Qin Yu’s stunned expression, he paused and then chuckled awkwardly, "Seeing a brother from the same Immortal Demon Demon World, hehe, got a bit too excited."
Qin Yu was now entirely sure that these three Man brothers indeed came from the Immortal Demon Demon World, and their true forms were probably that of the Purple-eyed Bull Demon King.
Qin Yu had never heard of Man Tian or Man Yu.
Qin Yu knew that these three Man brothers might have ascended billions or even tens of billions of years ago. People from that era were completely unknown to him.
"Brother Man Fei, I haven’t been ascended for long; there’s likely a considerable gap between us, so I haven’t heard of Man Tian or Man Yu," Qin Yu explained.
"Oh, that’s very normal. You are of a lower realm and ascended billions of years after us," Man Fei now said with a smile spread across his face, appearing much more warm.
Man Chou, still smiling, said, "So Brother Qin Yu also ascended from the Immortal Demon Demon World; that’s really great. Why don’t you... join us at the Three-pronged Mountain as our equal?"
To Qin Yu’s surprise, Man Chou was quick to extend an invitation.
"No, I still have things to take care of, and I’m also quite accustomed to being on my own," Qin Yu declined.
Afterwards, Man Fei warmed up to Qin Yu and talked enthusiastically for a while before the three brothers finally left.
"Man Fei is indeed more straightforward; the second brother, Man Fan, is stable and indifferent, but as for the oldest brother, Man Chou..." Qin Yu suddenly realized that he couldn’t quite see through the eldest brother, Man Chou.
...
Across the vast sky, the three Man brothers flew through the air.
"Big Brother, I was still planning to have a big drink with Brother Qin Yu. Why did you use divine sense to urge me to leave early?" Man Fei seemed somewhat irritated as he complained.
Man Chou responded with a smile, "Younger brother, don’t be so quick to trust others. Whether Qin Yu is really from the Immortal Demon Demon World is still uncertain."
"What do you mean by that?" Man Fei’s large eyes widened with surprise.
Man Chou continued, "In the Divine World, though not many know that we three brothers come from the Immortal, Demon, and Demon World, it’s hardly a secret. If Qin Yu is a person with intentions, he could still find this out. Perhaps he deliberately spoke to us in that manner. I was initially suspicious of his intentions, therefore I promptly invited him to our Three-pronged Mountain to see his reaction." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
"However, Qin Yu declined my invitation, so perhaps he does not harbor bad intentions," Man Chou said with a light smile.
"Then that settles it," Man Fei replied immediately.
"But one must guard against others’ intentions. Qin Yu appeared suddenly; after some time, by carefully observing his actions, we can determine his character," Man Chou said with a faint smile.
"Little brother, big brother speaks wisely," the always silent Man Fan remarked.
Man Fei hummed several times and mumbled to himself for a while, but since the three brothers were close, naturally they had no misgivings.

Under the watchful eyes of many at the Black Dragon Pond, Qin Yu flew through the air, leaving the Black Dragon Pond and flew between the mountains, facing the gentle breeze.
Qin Yu glanced back at the location of the Black Dragon Pond: "That Nine-headed Black Dragon, Tan Jiu, has been hiding in the Black Dragon Pond for many years, apparently for some treasure, according to what Huang Jing mentioned about this Tan Jiu."
Qin Yu’s heart had long been filled with a desire to kill Tan Jiu.
’Instantaneous Movement’, this Divine Skill, was indeed terrifying. Qin Yu did not want outsiders to know about it, but killing Tan Jiu was not going to be easy. First, the opponent was a Middle Level Heavenly God, and second, Tan Jiu had nine clones.
If even one clone escaped, the effort would be in vain.
"Alright, I shall first enter the bottom of the Black Dragon Pond to thoroughly explore what treasures lie beneath. Then see if there’s an opportunity to kill this Tan Jiu," Qin Yu had already made up his mind.
...
From the Northern Pole Snow City, the ’Dark Night’ covered the entire Divine World, plunging it into darkness.
On this dark night, the night was cool as water.
In the icy mountain breeze, in the tranquil valley of the Black Dragon Pond, a figure appeared by the pond’s edge like an illusion, clad in a black robe—it was Qin Yu.
"Using ’Instantaneous Movement’ here, the guards of the Black Dragon Pond Canyon can easily be disregarded," Qin Yu said with a slight smile.
He then turned his gaze toward the Black Dragon Pond in front of him. The pond spanned a hundred miles, stretching beyond sight, its waters boundless within his field of vision. The surface of the Black Dragon Pond eerily remained calm.
Normally, any large lake would have waves even without wind, but the Black Dragon Pond, even with wind, remained waveless, which was indeed strange.
"That Tan Jiu must be very cautious. Once a person enters, the ripple of the water might be detected by Tan Jiu," Qin Yu was extremely cautious and immediately released the ’Space Power’ of the Qiankun World.
The ’Space Power’ of the Qiankun World, hindered by the spatial constraints of the Divine World, could only cover a hundred-meter radius. If extended in one direction, it reached a distance of two hundred meters.
The Space Power seeped into the bottom of the pond.
The range of the Space Power was Qin Yu’s ’Space Domain’.
Although it might not be as powerful as the real ’Space Domain’ of a Middle Level Heavenly God, it still possessed half the power. Additionally, controlling the water currents at the pond’s bottom to remain undisturbed was quite effortless.
Qin Yu smiled slightly, then dived into the Black Dragon Pond with a fish leap.
Strangely, despite him diving into the Black Dragon Pond, the water remained undisturbed, thanks to his control over the Space Domain.
...
The bottom of Black Dragon Pond was as dark as ink, yet anyone from the Divine World could easily see through the darkness. At this bottom, Qin Yu’s "Space Power" continuously extended, and he ceaselessly explored Black Dragon Pond.
Black Dragon Pond was vast.
Its depth alone was a thousand meters. With a radius of even more, Qin Yu carefully investigated the bottom.
"This Black Dragon Pond is indeed strange. Such a large lake, yet not a single living creature resides here, only some underwater plants," Qin Yu thought to himself. This bizarre scene only made Qin Yu more determined that there must be some treasure here.
Qin Yu was very persistent, he kept using the "Space Power" to explore every area.
The area of a hundred miles radius was too large, Qin Yu could only inspect an area of a hundred meters at a time. Using this method, he had examined the area for three full days, but had only covered a very small part so far.
Moving from one side of Black Dragon Pond to the other, even at the fastest speed, required an hour. In reality, it took hundreds of back and forths to completely check Black Dragon Pond.
One month later.
Qin Yu had reached another corner of Black Dragon Pond.
"Odd, I have thoroughly searched Black Dragon Pond, but why can’t I find it?" Qin Yu became puzzled.
During this month, Qin Yu did not dare to use Divine Sense to probe, firstly because Divine Sense had significant limitations in water, and the second reason was... he was worried about being discovered by Tan Jiu.
However, the Space Power of Qiankun World was different.
Ordinary Middle Level Heavenly Gods, when controlling the Space Power of the Divine World, make quite a commotion, attracting attention. The reason for the noise is due to their weak control over the Space Power of the Divine World.
If a Divine King were to control the "Space Domain," others would not be able to detect it at all.
The same principle.
Qiankun World, created by Qin Yu, meant that Qin Yu’s control of the "Space Power" of Qiankun World was no less effective than a Divine King controlling the Space Power of Divine World.
Even if the Space Power of Qiankun World covered Tan Jiu, he would not feel any discomfort and naturally would not discover Qin Yu.
This was also why Qin Yu dared to openly spend a month exploring the entire Black Dragon Pond.
"Hmm? I’ve searched throughout the entire Black Dragon Pond and haven’t found Tan Jiu’s location; it seems I can only wait." Qin Yu frowned slightly, hovering mid-air in the pond water, yet his body remained completely dry.
"Recalling Miss Huang Jing’s and Tan Jiu’s dialogue, that Liu Yuxi also knows that the treasure is here. No doubt, Liu Yuxi will come here sooner or later," Qin Yu nodded to himself, immediately making a decision.
Qin Yu disappeared into thin air from the bottom of the pond.
...
Within the Qiankun World.
Qin Yu stood on a high mountain in the Qiankun World.
"Hmm, the Space Power of Qiankun World continues to extend outwards, mingling with the water of Black Dragon Pond. As soon as there’s any disturbance in the water of Black Dragon Pond, I will naturally be aware of it."
Qin Yu was quite certain that once Liu Yuxi entered Black Dragon Pond, he probably wouldn’t be too cautious, as both Liu Yuxi and Tan Jiu knew of each other’s existence.
Even if he was as cautious as Qin Yu, the moment Liu Yuxi entered the hiding place of Tan Jiu, there would definitely be some disturbance.
"Can only wait by the rabbit." Qin Yu sat cross-legged on the mountaintop, it was the only thing he could do.
Suddenly, Uncle Fu appeared right behind Qin Yu. The restrictions of Qiankun World were minimal, much like the Mortal World. Here, Uncle Fu’s speed was incredibly fast.
When Qin Yu entered Black Dragon Pond, he had already let Uncle Fu enter Qiankun World, even including the Jiang Lan Realm.
"Return to Jiang Lan Realm!" Qin Yu told Uncle Fu.
Qin Yu and Uncle Fu immediately vanished from the mountaintop, leaving only a small green tower, which was the true form of Jiang Lan Realm. With it stored in Qiankun World, Qin Yu was completely at ease.
Qiankun World, created by Qin Yu, meant that even while within Jiang Lan Realm, he could still sense the "Space Power" of Qiankun World extending into the Divine World’s Black Dragon Pond.
In the second layer of Jiang Lan Realm, Qin Yu settled in to cultivate.
The time in the second layer of Jiang Lan Realm was a hundred times that of the outside world, and what Qin Yu needed most now was time!
...
Divine World, Black Dragon Pond.
Nearly a thousand years had passed since the last great battle, and Black Dragon Pond had newly erected three palaces, with the central Black Dragon Palace looking even more majestic than before.
Night.
A streak crossed through the sky, and a person appeared beside Black Dragon Pond.
Silver hair, silver eyebrows, and only 1.7 meters tall, looking like a youth. This person was Liu Yuxi, the Commander of the entire Wei Chi City army, second only to the Wei Chi City Lord!
Liu Yuxi and Tan Jiu were nearly identical in stature and even dressed similarly.
Tan Jiu had dark skin, while Liu Yuxi had pale skin. Other than the skin and hair colors, the two, except for their gazes, were almost exactly alike.
"Calculating the days, it should be almost time. At most, a few more years," Liu Yuxi looked at Black Dragon Pond and smiled faintly, "That idiot Tan Jiu, always cowering below, what’s the use? The Seven-colored Lotus cannot be harvested before its time, so it will remain unpicked."
Liu Yuxi never understood why Tan Jiu would wait in hiding at the bottom of the pond.
With a leap like a fish, Liu Yuxi plunged directly into Black Dragon Pond. He was not as cautious as Qin Yu because Liu Yuxi wanted to be discovered by Tan Jiu; that way, Tan Jiu would open the secret passage at the bottom of the pond himself earlier.
...
Within the Qiankun World.
Qin Yu appeared abruptly, looking up at the sky with a slight smile on his face, "After nearly a hundred thousand years of cultivation, I’ve finally reached this day. I am eager to see what exactly is in Black Dragon Pond!"
Qin Yu vanished from the Qiankun World and reappeared at Black Dragon Pond.
Surrounded by a hundred meters radius of Qiankun World’s Space Power, Qin Yu’s form flickered continuously, each flick representing over a hundred meters of distance, and in the blink of an eye, he had traversed ten miles.
Unlike the previous time Qin Yu had to carefully explore the bottom, this time he was just traveling, and his speed was incredibly fast.
