Chapter Two!
————————
All eyes in the great hall were fixed on what Zhou Xian held in his hand.
Suspended above Zhou Xian’s right hand was a phoenix crown about nine inches tall. The front of the crown was adorned with nine golden dragons and also featured eight jeweled gold phoenixes, with one more gold phoenix at the back of the crown.
The nine golden dragons had varying postures: some were soaring with heads raised, some were standing on all fours, some were walking, and some were running. Each of the dragons was clutching a spiritual pearl in its mouth.
The entire phoenix crown emitted a brilliant array of colors, causing onlookers to squint.
"This Nine Phoenix Crown, also known as the ’Nine Dragon Nine Phoenix Crown,’ is made with precious materials. There are a total of 3,600 spiritual pearls, each coming from different cosmic spaces. In seeking enough spiritual pearls over the years, I have been constantly on the move. We searched through more than ninety thousand cosmic spaces to gather these 3,600 pearls, as well as a variety of precious gemstones."
Zhou Xian pointed to a narrow gold ring at the mouth of the Nine Phoenix Crown, "Look, just this small circle consists of eighteen exquisite translucent gemstones. A total of 198 gemstones were used for the entire Nine Phoenix Crown, each sourced from different cosmic spaces. Besides that..."
Zhou Xian then pointed to the top of the crown where the nine golden dragons were each clutching a spiritual pearl, "These nine pearls are the most precious among the 3,600 and are, as you may all feel, indeed Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures."
"With an abundance of materials, one also needs superb memory. Thus, here in Thunder Punishment City, we invited Master Ou Yezi to lead a team of eighty-one artifact refining experts to assist. It took a full half-year to refine this Nine Dragon Nine Phoenix Crown and I look forward, to the day when my cousin marries, she can wear it!"
After speaking, Zhou Xian looked up with a smile at the thirteen Divine Kings present, his face full of confidence.
Everyone held their breath.
What a luxurious Nine Dragon Nine Phoenix Crown!
Indeed, this was the most luxurious phoenix crown in the history of the Divine World, especially those nine most precious spiritual pearls. Although only third-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures, they were still rare finds.
What’s most important is, all these materials came from different cosmic spaces.
"Well done, a fine Nine Phoenix Crown," the Northern Pole Saint Empress, Chunyu Rou, said in delight and admiration from her spot in the great hall, while the thirteen Divine Kings also nodded in agreement.
Of the fourteen gifts displayed so far, Zhou Xian’s was indeed the most breathtaking.
The other gifts, though ingenious and novel, simply did not match the thoughtfulness behind the history’s most luxurious Nine Phoenix Crown of the Divine World.
Zhou Xian smiled, also stealing a glance at Qin Yu.
Zhou Xian was eager to see Qin Yu look upset, but instead... Qin Yu’s face remained smiling, and he looked at the Nine Phoenix Crown with an appreciative gaze.
Seeing Zhou Xian looking over, Qin Yu even nodded slightly in his direction.
Zhou Xian was momentarily at a loss, but also nodded slightly in return.
"However, nine decorative Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures, third-class at that, are just equivalent to Upper Heavenly Divine Weapons. If you knew that my Zixuan Mansion is decorated with sixty-two Upper Heavenly Divine Weapons, I wonder what expression you would have?"
Qin Yu was very confident in his heart.
Although the Nine Phoenix Crown was precious, it was at most on par with the magical ’Illusion Spirit Mirror.’ His Zixuan Mansion included the Illusion Spirit Mirror as well.
"Zhou Xian, the Nine Phoenix Crown is indeed fine." The Northern Pole Saint Emperor, Jiang Fan, also nodded in satisfaction, "Next, it should be Qin Yu’s turn, right?"
Zhou Xian put away the Nine Phoenix Crown, bowed slightly, and returned to his seat.
At this moment, Qin Yu stood up, walked to the center of the grand hall of the Holy Emperor Hall, bowed slightly, and then looked up at the Divine Kings above. Among the Divine Kings above, Uncle Lan, the Asura God King, the Blood Demon King, and others all smiled and gestured to Qin Yu.
"Honorable Divine Kings, my gift is called the ’Zixuan Mansion,’" Qin Yu said with a bright smile, "The Zixuan Mansion is the residence I have prepared for my marriage with Princess Jiang Li. However, it’s a bit small to show everyone here in the Holy Emperor Hall, so how about..."
"Qin Yu." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
The Northern Pole Saint Emperor, Jiang Fan, spoke with a smile, "No need to worry, it’s just a matter of space." The Northern Pole Saint Emperor pointed into the air with one hand, and in the space above the grand hall, a huge gate that spanned tens of meters appeared.
"I have set up a space. Everyone can enter and have a look at the ’Zixuan Mansion,’ how about it?" the Northern Pole Saint Emperor Jiang Fan asked, looking at the other Divine Kings.
The Mu Residence God King, ’Jiang Lan,’ was the first to stand up, laughing as he said, "Interesting, interesting. Zhou Xian’s Nine Phoenix Crown is meant for Li’er to wear when they get married, and Qin Yu’s ’Zixuan Mansion’ is about the mansion he will marry into with Li’er, haha, interesting indeed."
The other Divine Kings also laughed.
Then, the thirteen Divine Kings one by one stepped into the space set up by the Northern Pole Saint Emperor, followed by Qin Yu and the others, with the rest of the Heavenly Gods also entering.
Inside the space set up by the Northern Pole Saint Emperor.
As Zhou Xian walked past Qin Yu, he transmitted his voice: "Qin Yu, your gift is the Zixuan Mansion? What about the Illusion Spirit Mirror?" Zhou Xian was indeed very curious.
The Illusion Spirit Mirror is a wondrous object in the Divine World, universally acknowledged as such.
Even the Nine Phoenix Crown could only be regarded as comparable to the Illusion Spirit Mirror at most. Zhou Xian knew that Qin Yu had the Illusion Spirit Mirror, but why would he not use it?
Zhou Xian did not understand.
Facing Zhou Xian’s inquiry, Qin Yu just smiled enigmatically and transmitted back, "Brother Zhou Xian, you’ll know if you keep watching."
Once everyone was in the space and in place, all eyes were on Qin Yu in the center, filled with anticipation. Last time, Qin Yu had brought out a first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure, so what about this time?
Qin Yu looked around at everyone and smiled, "Honored guests, please watch how the Zixuan Mansion is."
With a flip of his hand, everyone suddenly felt darkness descend. Looking up, they saw a huge mansion flying above their heads, moving to hover in front of everyone.
The entire mansion spanned a thousand miles.
"What a mansion!" exclaimed the Asura God King in awe.
No one paid attention to the Asura God King’s words at that moment, for all were drawn to the Zixuan Mansion. The vast aura of flames and ice wrapped around it made the entire mansion seem mystical.
What attracted everyone was not anything else but the rich aura of a Heavenly Divine Artifact.
That distinctive aura!
"This entire mansion is a Heavenly Divine Artifact?" the Northern Pole Saint Emperor Jiang Fan asked Qin Yu, speaking up.
Qin Yu nodded with a smile, "Yes, this Zixuan Mansion is refined using the method for refining Heavenly Divine Artifacts. Of course, from the outside, you can’t see much yet, please follow me."
Qin Yu stood to the side, and with one thought, the grand doors of the Zixuan Mansion opened, and the thirteen Divine Kings stepped inside.
Other Heavenly Gods and candidates also stepped inside.
Upon entering Zixuan Mansion, it was like stepping into an ink and wash painting, with all kinds of naturally formed strange rocks and plants intertwining together. Each scene was harmoniously natural.
"Zixuan Mansion is divided into three major areas, this being the First Zone, which I call the Divine World area," Qin Yu said with a smile.
"The Divine World area, what does that mean?" Blood Demon King Yu Sha chuckled and looked at Qin Yu inquiringly.
"Blood Demon King, please be patient, you’ll know soon," Qin Yu said with a smile, as he led everyone to visit various scenes.
Suddenly, the Southwest Saint Emperor looked in astonishment at a stone sculpture in a flower garden.
"What is that?" The Southwest Saint Emperor had remarkable eyesight and saw the extraordinariness of the stone sculpture in one glance. Her words immediately drew everyone’s attention to it.
Qin Yu nodded with a smile, "Yes, this stone sculpture is actually an Upper Grade Heavenly Divine Artifact. However, the original body of this artifact is the stone sculpture because I refined it for decorative purposes. This stone sculpture contains the special effect of ’Calming the Heart’."
The crowd was stunned.
An Upper Grade Heavenly Divine Artifact was quite precious even for Divine Kings. In the entire Divine World, including Qin Yu, there were only three Artifact Refining Masters.
Normally, who would refine an Upper Grade Heavenly Divine Artifact for decoration?
Blood Demon King’s phoenix eyes burned with an even more intense gaze as she looked at Qin Yu.
"That water-spraying Golden Dragon also seems to be a Heavenly Divine Artifact," somebody else observed the other artifacts.
"That water-spraying Golden Dragon is only of Middle Grade Heavenly Divine Artifact level," Qin Yu said with a light smile.
Everyone was taken aback. How casually he spoke! ’Only’ a Middle Grade Heavenly Divine Artifact! ’Only’ indeed!
"In the entire Zixuan Mansion, there are more than a hundred decorative objects of Middle Grade Heavenly Divine Artifact level. There are sixty-two decorative objects of Upper Grade," Qin Yu said with a smile.
All the Heavenly Gods looked at Qin Yu, including the thirteen Divine Kings.
Even the Asura God King, who had been smiling faintly all along, now had a frozen expression.
Many Upper Heavenly Gods didn’t even possess an Upper Grade Heavenly Divine Artifact, which demonstrated how rare and precious they were. Yet Qin Yu had refined sixty-two of them at once.
The most important thing was... these sixty-two were all for decoration, not for attacking or defensive purposes.
Such a wastrel!
But aside from Artifact Refining Masters, who had the right to waste? Even the other two Artifact Refining Masters, Ou Yezi and Duanmu Feng, would take a considerable amount of time to refine a single Upper Grade Heavenly Divine Artifact. Each time they initiate the Enlightenment, it’s a torment for them.
Could they do it as effortlessly as Qin Yu?
"Qin Yu, truly a grand gesture," Jiang Fan could only express his admiration, with nothing more to say.
In everyone’s heart, their attitude towards Qin Yu changed. Being able to refine sixty-two Upper Grade Heavenly Divine Artifacts and hundreds of Middle Grade ones, although just for decoration, showcased his refining capabilities.
"The entire mansion, apart from the usual plants and such, the regular walls, houses, and so forth, are all a part of the ’Zixuan Mansion’. The mansion itself is a Low Grade Heavenly Divine Weapon," Qin Yu explained with a smile, "Ladies and gentlemen, please follow me. Next up is a pool forest."
Walking along the pebbled path, everyone entered a pool forest.
As soon as they entered, everyone felt the world spinning, and then they were all shocked to see everything. This was a space, a Divine World space.
"I utilized ’Array Space’ to arrange this pool forest. Inside it is a world identical to the Divine World. The only difference is... here, there is no Divine Spirit, no constraints of the Divine World," Qin Yu said with a smile.
The people on the scene felt it, the Heavenly Gods could now easily cover the entire ’Second Divine Domain’ with their Divine Sense, whereas in the actual Divine World, their sense would cover at most a few hundred miles.
"What a grand undertaking," someone exclaimed in admiration.
...
Leaving the First Zone of Zixuan Mansion, everyone continued onward. The Second Zone was to be the residential area, which was quite expansive and featured various exotic buildings.
"This hall is where family meals will be held in the future. The mural behind this hall... is also a space. It’s called the ’Second Immortal Demon Demon Realm’!" Qin Yu pointed to the mural hanging on the wall of the hall.
East Pole Saint Emperor Huangfu Yu exclaimed in surprise, "The Immortal Demon Demon Realm? Is it the cosmic space under the jurisdiction of my East Pole Xuanjin Mountain?"
"Exactly," Qin Yu said with a smile.
"That’s Qin Yu’s hometown," Zhou Xian said indifferently, well aware of Qin Yu’s origins.
Using such a vast space as a mural is something even regular Divine Kings would find difficult to achieve because fixing a space is very challenging for them.
What about Qin Yu?
Qin Yu merely set up an ’Array Space’. As long as he doesn’t dissolve the array, the space will exist forever.
...
In the residential area of the Second Zone of Zixuan Mansion, there was the place where Qin Yu and Li’er would live in the future.
"Do you see that small mirror over there? Don’t even think it’s just for decoration. This little mirror is one of the Divine World’s wonders, the ’Illusion Spirit Mirror,’" Qin Yu said with a smile.
The Divine Kings exchanged glances.
Shock filled their hearts!
Yet, no one said much, as they had been shocked too many times already.
And at this moment, Zhou Xian understood why Qin Yu’s gift was not the Illusion Spirit Mirror. As it turned out... the Illusion Spirit Mirror was just a part of Zixuan Mansion.
...
After leaving the Second Zone of Zixuan Mansion, everyone entered the Third Zone: the leisure area.
There was a lake spanned hundreds of miles here, with several flat boats on the water and pavilions that were linked together, windingly covering the entire expanse of the lake.
"There are many pavilions on this lake, and on a side branch at the very edge of one of them, there is a rather large pavilion that is actually a scene of a Mortal World planet. It is also the look of my hometown," Qin Yu pointed to the bottom of the lake, "At the bottom of this lake, there is also a palace, which is to be another residence of Princess Jiang Li and myself in the future."
