"No, not dark red eyes, but..." Qin Yu focused intently and then realized that a faint red light was emitting from the eyes of the man in the purple robe before him. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
The eyes of the man in the purple robe were actually black, but they emitted a red light when he looked at Qin Yu.
That was why, at first glance, Qin Yu thought that the man in the purple robe had dark red eyes.
"Emitting red light?" Qin Yu pondered in his heart. He knew many people, but very few had eyes that emitted red light, "Feifei, yes, Feifei!"
Hou Fei, originally a ’Fire-Eyed Water Ape’, would have a faint red light emit from his naturally black eyes whenever he observed something with concentration. The situation was very similar to this man in the purple robe before him.
Could this man in the purple robe, whose eyes can emit red light, be a ’Fire-Eyed Water Ape’? Or has he cultivated some special Cultivation Technique?
Qin Yu did not dare to ask directly, since he could not see through the strength of the person before him. Now that Qin Yu was also of the Upper Heavenly Gods strength, and he couldn’t see through... the other party must be at least of the God King Level.
"Junior Qin Yu, may I know if the senior before me is Xiao Yao Heavenly Venerate?" Qin Yu greeted with reverence.
A smile appeared at the corner of the man in the purple robe’s mouth as his gaze locked onto Qin Yu, "Qin Yu? Yes, correct. As you’ve guessed, I am Xiao Yao Heavenly Venerate."
"Come, let’s sit down and talk." Xiao Yao Heavenly Venerate was all smiles, and Qin Yu felt not the slightest pressure from him. It was as if the man in the purple robe before him was an ordinary mortal.
But, mortals could not be like this man in the purple robe, making Qin Yu unable to see through him.
Xiao Yao Heavenly Venerate had already taken a seat and glanced at Qin Yu; pointing at the stool beside him, he said with a light smile, "Aren’t you going to sit down?"
"Yes." Qin Yu complied and took a seat beside him.
"Don’t be too restrained, just talk as if you’re speaking to an elder in your own family." Xiao Yao Heavenly Venerate could completely sense Qin Yu’s restraint at the moment.
Don’t be too restrained?
Qin Yu felt bitter in his heart—good heavens, the person before him was a legendary Heavenly Venerable who even the Artisan God ’Che Hou Yuan’ had not met.
The more Xiao Yao Heavenly Venerate asked him to relax, the harder it became for Qin Yu to do so.
Then Xiao Yao Heavenly Venerate nodded with a smile, "You’re already doing quite well. Before me, at least you can maintain a calm appearance. Even the Eight Great Saint Emperors can’t even maintain their composure before me."
Qin Yu was surprised in his heart.
The Eight Great Saint Emperors?
Xiao Yao Heavenly Venerate continued with a smile, "The main reason I came to see you this time is that you reached the ninety-ninth step of the Heavenly Ascending Steps! According to our original rules, after you reached the top, one of us Three Great Venerable Sovereigns would have to meet you. So here I am."
All Qin Yu could do was smile.
Now, he didn’t know what else to say. He was worried that anything he said might not come out right.
"Qin Yu, the matter of this marriage contest has drawn the interest of our Senior Brother, so the Second Senior Brother and I have also taken notice of this contest," said Xiao Yao Heavenly Venerate. At this, Qin Yu’s smile froze on his face.
Qin Yu could guess that the ones who could be referred to by Xiao Yao Heavenly Venerate as ’Senior Brother’ and ’Second Senior Brother’ were none other than Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate and another named Piao Yu Heavenly Venerate.
A thought arose in Qin Yu’s heart: Xiao Yao Heavenly Venerate said Piao Yu Heavenly Venerate took great interest in the marriage contest, so he and Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate took notice of it as well. From this, it is clear that Piao Yu Heavenly Venerate holds a much higher status. But why... would Piao Yu Heavenly Venerate be interested in the marriage contest?
Qin Yu could not fathom it.
Li’er’s public marriage contest might have a significant impact in the Divine World, but what attraction could it hold for that ’Piao Yu Heavenly Venerate’?
"I wonder why Senior Brother is interested in the marriage contest," mused Xiao Yao Heavenly Venerate, furrowing his brows, "Unfortunately, I can’t figure it out."
Qin Yu looked at the Xiao Yao Heavenly Venerate before him.
He knew that Xiao Yao Heavenly Venerate, after seizing the opportunity in that unprecedented war sixty million trillion years ago, had become the newly anointed Heavenly Venerate.
"While following Senior Brother in paying attention to this contest, I noticed you," Xiao Yao Heavenly Venerate said with a smile as he looked at Qin Yu, "When I noticed you, I also took notice of your two brothers, one named Hou Fei and the other Hei Yu."
With his attention fully engaged, Qin Yu became somewhat worried: What did Xiao Yao Heavenly Venerate mean by mentioning Feifei and Little Black?
"Qin Yu, although your Cultivation speed is fast and your experiences are quite varied, at least it’s within the realm of logic. However, there is one thing that puzzles me. Your brother ’Hei Yu’—he seems to have gained some insight into the Time Law, hasn’t he?" Xiao Yao Heavenly Venerate’s brows knit together.
Qin Yu’s heart skipped a beat.
Hei Yu’s ’Flowing Light Spear Path’ was indeed an application of the Time Law.
"By rights, one shouldn’t be able to begin Cultivating the ’Time Law’ unless they have reached the God King Realm. I even questioned Senior Brother about this, and his answer puzzled me for a while—haha, I’ve said too much," Xiao Yao Heavenly Venerate said with a smile.
Senior Brother’s answer?
Qin Yu became curious as to what Piao Yu Heavenly Venerate had said.
Qin Yu knew that given the Divine Skills of a Heavenly Venerate, they would probably be aware of nearly every move made by him and his brothers.
"Xiao Yao Heavenly Venerate senior," Qin Yu rarely spoke up.
Seeing Qin Yu speak, Xiao Yao Heavenly Venerate’s eyes brightened as he said, "What is it, you can speak your mind."
A gift ah!
What Qin Yu wanted most was the gift bestowed by a Heavenly Venerate. Meeting Xiao Yao Heavenly Venerate was for the gift, but Xiao Yao Heavenly Venerate talked a lot without mentioning the gift, and Qin Yu was getting anxious.
Without a gift, what could he do in the marriage contest?
Meeting a Heavenly Venerate without receiving a gift meant he still wasn’t qualified to compete with Zhou Xian for the first spot.
But could Qin Yu directly ask for the gift?
"Xiao Yao Heavenly Venerate senior, I, well, I am just curious about what Senior Brother said. I also find it strange that Little Black was able to gain some understanding of the Time Law," Qin Yu diverted the topic instead.
He could not bring himself to directly ask for a gift.
A look of teasing flashed in Xiao Yao Heavenly Venerate’s eyes, for as a Heavenly Venerate, how could he not guess Qin Yu’s inner thoughts?
But Xiao Yao Heavenly Venerate still said earnestly, "Ah, what did Senior Brother say? When Second Senior Brother and I asked Senior Brother about this, he said... ’If it exists, there is reason behind it, there is no need to ask further or to explore.’"
"If it exists, there is reason behind it." Qin Yu also felt astonished at Piao Yu Heavenly Venerate’s response.
Immediately after, Qin Yu became curious.
Why did Xiao Yao Heavenly Venerate and Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate go to ask Piao Yu Heavenly Venerate when they encountered doubts?
Qin Yu lowered his head and exhaled, casting aside the confusion in his mind. At this moment, what he was most anxious about was the gift, the gift bestowed by a Heavenly Venerate!
Qin Yu raised his head to look at Xiao Yao Heavenly Venerate.
Xiao Yao Heavenly Venerate still wore a light smile. Seeing Qin Yu’s expression, he even showed a puzzled look as if to ask, "Is there something wrong?"
But could Qin Yu really ask for the gift?
The urgency.
"Haha..." Suddenly, Xiao Yao Heavenly Venerate burst into laughter, "This is too amusing, Qin Yu, if there were a mirror, you should see your expression and eyes right now, so amusing. Haha..."
Xiao Yao Heavenly Venerate suddenly laughed uproariously, the laughter was incredibly exaggerated.
"Here, see for yourself."
With a wave of his hand, Xiao Yao Heavenly Venerate caused numerous droplets of water to coalesce, forming a mirror that showed Qin Yu’s recent expression.
Anxiousness, anticipation, hesitation, impatience...
Indeed, his expression and eyes were splendid.
"Alright, I won’t tease you any longer, young one. I know what you and the group who participated in the courting event are here for..." With a flip of his hand, an ancient bronze gourd appeared in his palm.
Qin Yu immediately fixed his gaze on that gourd.
Yet, Xiao Yao Heavenly Venerate sighed, "Alas, although we are Heavenly Venerates... these Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures are formed by heaven and earth, and we have very few of them. This ’Green Spring Gourd’ was a Spiritual Treasure I stumbled upon while wandering through the universe. Take it."
The Green Spring Gourd then floated from Xiao Yao Heavenly Venerate’s hand, drifting directly in front of Qin Yu.
Qin Yu took the Green Spring Gourd and immediately dropped a droplet of blood onto it. Dropping blood was only the first step in refining a Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure, but as soon as the drop fell, at least Qin Yu acquired the control over the Green Spring Gourd.
"The Green Spring Gourd can release Green Spring Binding and attack..." Qin Yu immediately knew the rough functionalities of the Green Spring Gourd and also roughly determined the level of the ’Green Spring Gourd.’
This Green Spring Gourd was a second-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure.
"To be able to bestow upon me a second-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure is already very good." Qin Yu felt satisfied. Because he knew... first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures were extremely rare in the entire Divine World.
In the whole Divine World, the vast majority of Divine Kings wielded weapons that were second-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures.
Originally, ’Artisan God’ Che Hou Yuan was ennobled as ’Artisan God’ because he had refined a first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure. This shows how rare a first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure is.
"Alright, now that you have obtained the Green Spring Gourd, you must be content," said Xiao Yao Heavenly Venerate with a light smile, "You may leave now."
Qin Yu flipped his hand to store the Green Spring Gourd and then bowed to give his thanks, "Thank you, Senior Xiao Yao Heavenly Venerate."
Xiao Yao Heavenly Venerate waved and said, "Go."
Qin Yu bowed immediately, then turned around and left, but just as he reached the garden gate, Xiao Yao Heavenly Venerate called out, "Qin Yu, before you leave, let me remind you of something."
Qin Yu’s figure halted abruptly as he turned his head toward Xiao Yao Heavenly Venerate, "Please enlighten me, Senior Xiao Yao Heavenly Venerate."
Xiao Yao Heavenly Venerate smiled and said, "I mentioned earlier that my Senior Brother is very interested in this marriage event, so... this time, not only Second Senior Brother and I are around the Mountain and Sea Palace, but Senior Brother is also on the islands nearby."
"Piao Yu Heavenly Venerate is on the islands near the Mountain and Sea Palace?" Qin Yu was greatly surprised.
"Of course, Senior Brother after all is Senior Brother. If he wishes to see you, you will naturally meet him. If he does not wish to see you, even if you search every one of the surrounding three thousand plus islands, you likely won’t be able to meet him." Xiao Yao Heavenly Venerate said with a light smile, "I’m reminding you so you know not to rush back, to stay here for now. Perhaps at any moment, you might encounter Piao Yu Heavenly Venerate. If you do meet him... then, your stroke of good luck has arrived. Senior Brother is not as impoverished as Second Senior Brother and me."
"Impoverished?"
Qin Yu couldn’t help but laugh and cry.
However, Qin Yu also realized that encountering the most mysterious Piao Yu Heavenly Venerate would be an incredibly fortunate affair. Piao Yu Heavenly Venerate would surely possess treasures far exceeding those of Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate and Xiao Yao Heavenly Venerate.
"No wonder that Zhou Xian, after receiving the blessing from Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerate, still lingered here," Qin Yu suddenly understood.
"Thank you for the guidance, Senior Xiao Yao Heavenly Venerate," Qin Yu gratefully said.
Xiao Yao Heavenly Venerate gave a faint smile and in an instant vanished from the garden.
******
Qin Yu stepped out of Leisurely Hall and looked down to see a group of people chatting with each other around the Mountain and Sea Palace. When Qin Yu came out, all of them turned their attention toward him.
Descending the Heavenly Ascending Steps, Qin Yu approached Duanmu Yu and his group.
"Brother Qin Yu, congratulations, congratulations," said Marquis Kui Yin with a laugh, while Duanmu Yu and Shen Tufan also looked at Qin Yu with smiles, Duanmu Yu asked with curiosity, "Brother Qin Yu, I wonder what blessing you received from Xiao Yao Heavenly Venerate?"
Instantly, the ears of the surrounding people perked up.
Zhou Xian’s gaze was even more intense as he stared at Qin Yu.
With a slight smile, Qin Yu flipped his hand, revealing the ancient bronze gourd. The eyes of the dozen or so people nearby fixated on the bronze gourd.
Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures have a unique aura of their own, and generally, weapons made by refining are seldom in the shape of a gourd. Gourds are usually naturally occurring.
Naturally occurring usually means they are Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures.
Those with keen eyesight, such as Duanmu Yu and others, already had some guesses. And Zhou Xian’s face grew even more sullen.
"Brother Qin Yu, so the gift from Xiao Yao Heavenly Venerate is also a Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure?" Marquis Kui Yin exclaimed in amazement.
"Indeed," Qin Yu nodded.
