Chapter 351: 12 episodes, Chapter 41: Who is the young friend?
The golden light was dazzling, but countless people on the Hidden Emperor Star still widened their eyes, looking up at the sky where a line of words had appeared—"Young friend, we are waiting for you".
Silence.
An eerie stillness!
The Cosmic Shattered Gold Flow, Silent Skyfire Flow, Xunming Flow... Various energies of horror level converged around the Hidden Emperor Star, densely enveloping the entire star, eventually forming a line of text.
The entire Hidden Emperor Star fell into a hushed stillness, as everyone was rendered speechless.
But after just a moment... the whole Hidden Emperor Star erupted into a tumultuous noise, like an explosion, as people all over the star discussed and vented their shock.
What on earth was happening?
How could the universe’s energies of ’horror level’ from the realms of immortals, demons, and deities gather here just to form such a line of words?
×××
On Blue Mars.
Emperor Yu held a Communication Spirit Pearl in his hand, having just received a message from his subordinates on the Hidden Emperor Star, leaving him filled with shock and bewilderment. That line of words brought him not just an endless tremor, but also a deeper implication.
"To control the energy of the entire universe, what kind of Divine Skills are these?" Emperor Yu’s spirit trembled.
Emperor Yu understood in his heart that, compared to that ’existence’ who could control the energy of the entire realms of immortals, demons, and deities, he was nothing but an ant to a giant, as distantly separated as earth from heaven.
"Could those people be... from the Divine World?" Emperor Yu secretly speculated, "’Young friend, we are waiting for you,’ what does this sentence mean, and what exactly does the person who caused such a stir want to do?"
Actually, Emperor Yu had a guess in his heart, but he dared not believe it.
There were no shortages of individuals ascending to the Divine World in the history of the realms of immortals, demons, and deities. However, there had never been such a commotion.
Therefore, he simply could not believe that an Ascension to the Divine World would cause the supreme masters of the Divine World to create such a tremendous turmoil.
"Could it be... that some major figure of the Divine World reincarnated to cultivate, and now, having achieved success in cultivation, the supreme masters of the Divine World have caused such a huge commotion to celebrate?"
While Emperor Yu found this guess to be somewhat far-fetched, he could not imagine any other reason.
"Young friend, young friend, just who could this young friend be?"
Emperor Yu walked to the window and looked up at the sky, "It seems, I must make a trip to the Hidden Emperor Star."
...
Not just Emperor Yu, but Emperor Xuan, Green Emperor, Blood Demon Emperor, Black Demon Emperor, Asura Demon Emperor, Bull Demon Emperor of the Beast Clan, Dragon Emperor of the Dragon Clan... all the major figures of the realms of immortals, demons, and deities received the message, each pondering over ’who this young friend could be’.
×××
Who is the young friend?
It was not only these major figures who were speculating, countless people on the Hidden Emperor Star were also guessing, and likewise... Qin Yu, Ao Wuming, Jun Luoyu, along with their group of friends, were wondering too.
In the main hall of Meng Hong Mansion, several people were discussing this over drinks.
"Mysterious, too mysterious. I, Meng Hong, have lived for so many years, yet I have never heard of anything so strange. To mobilize the energy of the entire universe to gather here, all just to form that one line of words? And then there’s ’Young friend, we are waiting for you’." Meng Hong said, taking a large gulp of his drink.
"It’s not just mysterious, but also terribly unsettling."
Ao Wuming exclaimed, "When I saw that line of words, especially the convergence of countless energies of horror level to form that line, the oppressive feeling it gave to my spirit, it was immense."
"Right, I felt a suffocating feeling at that moment." Jun Luoyu agreed.
The others nodded in agreement one after another.
Cosmic Shattered Gold Flow, Silent Skyfire Flow... These energies converged in the sky, forming a dark and heavy layer. Who wouldn’t worry or feel fear when seeing so much energy gather into a line of words?
There is no need to elaborate on that oppressive feeling.
"Qin Yu, what do you think?" Ao Wuming suddenly looked towards Qin Yu.
"Me." Qin Yu nodded, "It’s quite shocking."
It was merely shocking, Qin Yu didn’t feel much of the oppressive feeling in his heart.
In fact, at this moment, Qin Yu was surprised by something; ever since his cultivation reached the Black Hole Realm, when he looked at Ao Wuming, Jun Luoyu, and others, his feelings were completely different.
In the past, looking at a super expert like Ao Wuming naturally invoked a feeling of respect deep within his heart.
However, now when he saw Ao Wuming, a Seventh Level Demon Emperor, Qin Yu was very calm. It was as if he were observing everyone from a third-person perspective, an attitude detached from worldly concerns, with no sense of oppression at all. He felt as if he were the heavens, looking down on everyone.
Qin Yu turned his head and looked through the gate towards the sky.
Even facing those terrifying cosmic energies, a sense of fear or dread couldn’t arise within Qin Yu’s heart; deep down, he was very calm.
"Qin Yu, you seem a bit different from before," Jiang Yan said, staring at Qin Yu.
"Oh, different? What’s different?" Qin Yu asked with a smile.
Lian Zhu also nodded and said earnestly, "There has been a change, how should I put this, it should be said that you’ve become... more ’mature’."
"Mature?" Qin Yu was astonished and couldn’t help but laugh.
Ao Wuming, Jun Luoyu, and Meng Hong all laughed as well.
Ao Wuming chuckled and said, "Qin Yu has changed a bit, I suspect it’s a breakthrough in his power. Qin Yu, would you say I’m right?"
Qin Yu nodded, "There has indeed been a slight breakthrough in power, that’s probably the reason."
"Let’s not talk about that now, what do you guys think? What kind of existence can control the energy of the entire cosmic space to form this line of words?" Jun Luoyu looked at the dark layer of terrifying energy outside the hall in the sky, feeling a heavy heart.
Facing such an existence, Jun Luoyu and the others couldn’t help but look up in admiration.
Jiang Yan giggled, "Who cares who it is? It’s definitely a very powerful figure. According to what grandma said, even a Ninth Level Immortal Emperor couldn’t influence the flow of cosmic energy. Whoever can cause such a disturbance is probably from the Divine World, and moreover, a quite powerful figure from the Divine World."
"Yan’er, be serious," Ao Wuming’s face was very serious, "The Divine Skills of the beings in the Divine World are beyond your imagination, never rashly comment about the Divine World in the future."
"Oh, I understand," Jiang Yan replied, pouting.
Ao Wuming walked out from his seat to the courtyard outside the hall and looked up at the sky, where the dark layer of terrifying energy still formed those words—"Little Friend, we are waiting for you."
"Little Friend, just who could it be?" Ao Wuming murmured softly.
Jun Luoyu and Meng Hong also came out, looking at that line of words with the same puzzled expressions on their faces; they were clearly also guessing who this ’Little Friend’ referred to.
"Just who could it be, this Little Friend?" Qin Yu, while staring at that line of words in the sky, was also speculating in his heart.
Who could this Little Friend be?
No one knew.
Perhaps only that existence beyond the ’Immortal Demon Monster World,’ the one causing such a huge commotion, would know who this ’Little Friend’ really was.
But most certainly believed one thing, that this Little Friend must be on Hidden Emperor Star, or else why would so much energy gather outside Hidden Emperor Star?
Qin Yu, Ao Wuming, Jun Luoyu, Jiang Yan, Lian Zhu, and Meng Hong all looked up, guessing.
At this moment—
Countless people on Hidden Emperor Star were guessing who this so-called ’Little Friend’ could be.
Suddenly—
"Boom!"
As if heaven and earth were splitting apart, the dense, terrifying energy in the sky exploded, and a thunderous noise resounded throughout the universe—
"Young friend, quickly cultivate, we are all waiting for you, haha...."
The clear voice echoed between heaven and earth. For some unknown reason, the voice reverberated through every inch of space on Hidden Emperor Star, sounded in everyone’s ears, resonated in everyone’s minds, and rang deep within everyone’s spirits!
Whether they were babies, mortals, cultivators, or even masters of the Hidden Emperor level.
None could refuse the voice echoing in their ears, minds, and spirits.
Everyone was stunned once again.
"Boom!"
Two streams of energy, utterly different in properties, collided and then exploded, bursting forth like brilliant fireworks. Yet the shockwaves formed by the explosions turned into nothingness before they could reach Hidden Emperor Star.
Silent Skyfire Flow and Ice Extreme Cold Flow collided.
Xunming Flow and Cosmic Shattered Gold Flow collided.
Sand Flame Flow and Black Meteor Flow collided.
...
Various energies with different properties clashed and exploded, forming a spectacular display of fireworks in the sky above Hidden Emperor Star, but the shockwaves created from the explosions couldn’t even approach the interior of Hidden Emperor Star.
Hidden Emperor Star remained unscathed.
Everyone, including the Hidden Emperor and the Black and White Double Emperors, wore expressions of shock. Who had ever witnessed such dazzling fireworks?
These terror-level energy explosions continued for nearly half an hour, and finally, they dissipated into nothing, the strange cosmic energies formed from the explosions turning back into torrents and flowing away in all directions in the universe.
The surroundings of Hidden Emperor Star finally returned to the peace of yesteryear.
"What is this? Fireworks?" Qin Yu was genuinely shocked.
Back on Hidden Dragon Continent, mortals had already figured out how to make fireworks with black gunpowder, but today’s ’fireworks’, formed by the collision of terrifying cosmic energies, were even more splendid.

The cosmic energies had left Hidden Emperor Star, and it was as quiet and peaceful as ever. But in the hearts of all its inhabitants, one thing was clear—
Besides the Hidden Emperor, there was another, even more mysterious ’young friend’.
Inside the Hidden Domain of Hidden Emperor Star.
A small bamboo forest, a house built of bamboo, and a few casually placed stone stools, with two or three stone tables amongst the bamboo.
A man in a white robe and white hair, another in a black robe with black hair, sat around one of the stone tables, while another middle-aged man with greenish whiskers was holding a teacup, gazing at the endless sky.
Suddenly, an old man with white hair approached; seeing the middle-aged man with the green whiskers, he bowed and said, "Master...."
"I already know, let Emperor Yu come." The middle-aged man with green whiskers said indifferently.
"Yes, Master."
The white-haired old man said nothing further; it was no surprise to his master that Emperor Yu had arrived.
"Many might come soon, Emperor Xuan, Black Demon Emperor, and others. There’s no need to stop them, just let them come directly," the middle-aged man with green whiskers instructed.
"Yes."
The white-haired old man answered and turned to leave. Just as he vanished into the bamboo forest, a man clad in a purple robe appeared amidst the stalks—it was none other than Emperor Yu.
"Brother Lin, you’ve truly surprised me," Emperor Yu said as he strolled into the bamboo forest, a faint smile on his face. "The Hidden Emperor Star under your control actually caused such a commotion."
Emperor Yu’s pace was neither fast nor slow, but it carried a strange rhythm. The entire bamboo forest seemed to sway with that rhythm...
"Brother Feng Yu, it seems you’re about to reach the level of a Ninth Level Immortal Emperor," said the middle-aged man with the green beard, smiling.
There were only a few in the entire realms of immortals, demons, and beasts who dared to call Emperor Yu "Brother Feng Yu." But the ’Hidden Emperor’ of the Hidden Emperor Star was one of them.
"Brother Feng Yu."
The Black and White Double Emperors stood up simultaneously, greeting him with a smile.
Emperor Yu nodded and said, "Brother Lin, that ’big commotion’ that just happened on Hidden Emperor Star, you must have experienced it yourself. Such a commotion is indeed extraordinary."
"Indeed extraordinary, I’m still quite bewildered by it to this day," the Hidden Emperor said with self-deprecating laughter.
The Black and White Double Emperors didn’t chime in; instead, they sat back down and quietly drank tea.
Emperor Yu exclaimed, "The Cosmic Shattered Gold Flow, Black Meteor Flow, Silent Skyfire Flow... The convergence of countless horror-level energies from the entire cosmic space on Hidden Emperor Star was unprecedented in the history forming of the realms of immortals, demons, and beasts."
"Yes," the Hidden Emperor agreed, also full of emotion.
"The Mishen Palace is such a formidable entity. But even the arrival of the ’Mishen Palace’ in the realms of immortals, demons, and beasts affected only the cosmic energy fluctuations of two or three star domains. This time... the disturbance was shocking," Emperor Yu spoke with gleaming eyes.
"Brother Lin, who exactly is this young friend?" Emperor Yu suddenly asked.
The Hidden Emperor shook his head: "I do not know."
"Brother Lin, you reign over Hidden Emperor Star. If there’s an extraordinary person who appeared on Hidden Emperor Star, how could you possibly not know?" Emperor Yu said with a smile.
The Hidden Emperor smiled faintly, walked over to a stone table, added tea to his cup, and then calmly said, "This young friend is not so easy to find out about, but he should be someone from Hidden Emperor Star."
At that moment—
The Hidden Emperor, Emperor Yu, and the Black and White Double Emperors all looked toward the small path in the bamboo forest.
Clad in a green robe and holding a flute, he always bore a smile that warmed others like a spring breeze.
"Today my humble abode is truly bustling with visitors. Just after Emperor Yu arrives, the Green Emperor is here," the Hidden Emperor said with a laugh.
Upon seeing the Green Emperor, Emperor Yu immediately greeted him with a smile, "Brother Chi Qing."
Green Emperor ’Chi Qing’ occupied a very special status in the Immortal Realm. Although he was the leader of one of the three great forces, Green Emperor ’Chi Qing’ was different from the other two leaders because he had cultivated for an extremely long time.
A length of time that made others tremble.
Even the Ninth Level Immortal Emperor, the Hidden Emperor, hadn’t cultivated as long as the Green Emperor had. The Green Emperor ’Chi Qing’ also had a nickname ’Eternal Green,’ which signified the longevity of his cultivation.
What was most peculiar was that this Green Emperor had reached the ’Eighth Level Immortal Emperor’ many tens of thousands of years ago. Over the years, his contemporaries had either succeeded in Crossing God Tribulation and ascended or failed the Tribulation and died.
But only the Green Emperor remained at the Eighth Level Immortal Emperor.
His vast duration of cultivation alone ensured that no one dared to underestimate this Green Emperor.
"Brother Feng Yu, it’s not just me—there are many more people coming," said the Green Emperor, walking next to the Hidden Emperor, then turning to gaze back at the small path through the bamboo forest. At that moment, two people walked side by side toward them...
(Who the young friend is, even Qin Yu does not know, hehe~~~~)
