Chapter 370: 12 episodes 60 Chapters Meet
Crescent Bay, an island in the shape of a crescent deep in the endless ocean of Bibo Star, has a distinctive layout as the exclusive abode of the Green Emperor, with a rich variety of plants and flowers.
Qin Yu deployed his Flying Technique and in the blink of an eye, he was flying above Crescent Bay.
"Indeed, it’s a wonderful place." From above, the view of the clear waters, green land, and various natural plants and flowers resembled a tranquil world within a painting.
Descending, Qin Yu landed on the edge of Crescent Bay.
"May I ask if you are Friend Qin Yu?" A young man in a white robe approached with a smile on his face.
"I am indeed Qin Yu, here by the order of the Green Emperor," Qin Yu replied politely. In the world of Immortals, Demons, and Mortals, Qin Yu did not wish to provoke others. However, there were some... that Qin Yu must provoke.
Emperor Yu, Emperor Xuan. These were the last entrustments of Immortal Emperor Ni Yang, coupled with the death of his own disciple, Qin Yu was determined to stand against Emperor Yu.
As for the Green Emperor, Qin Yu had no desire for confrontation.
"The Green Emperor’s subordinates are indeed numerous and formidable, a mere youth to be a Seventh Level Immortal Emperor is utterly terrifying." Qin Yu felt a tremor in his heart; a youth emerging from Crescent Bay possessed such formidable strength, on the same level as the Green Blood Sword Immortal.
The power of the Green Emperor was perhaps too terrifying.
"My master is waiting for you by the Cold Pond," the young man in white said with an amiable smile, "Friend Qin Yu, please follow me."
"That would be much appreciated." Qin Yu followed behind the young man in white.
In the endless ocean of Bibo Star, Crescent Bay was naturally as small as a flat boat, seemingly capable of being engulfed by a mere wave, yet in reality, Crescent Bay was quite large, nearly a thousand miles in circumference.
Following the young man in white, Qin Yu passed through bamboo huts, flew over the Inner Lake, traversed a path through the pine wave ocean, and eventually walked past various pavilions down a corridor to a secluded Cold Pond.
The Cold Pond was not large, about seven or eight meters wide and roughly one hundred meters long, but the chill emanating from it was intense, causing even someone as powerful as Qin Yu to shudder upon arrival. Strangely enough, despite the freezing temperature, the Cold Pond did not freeze over but instead was home to swimming fish.
By the Cold Pond, there was only a man in a green robe silently fishing with a rod.
"Don’t disturb the master, please wait a moment," whispered the young man in white as he gently pulled on Qin Yu. Qin Yu nodded and quietly waited by the Cold Pond.
"I am Qin Yu. May I ask who you are...?" After waiting for a while out of boredom, Qin Yu began to converse with the young man in white through a transmitted message.
"Ah, my apologies, I haven’t even told you my name. I am Song Shi, the fourth disciple of the Green Emperor," the young man in white said, slightly embarrassed as he smiled at Qin Yu. "I’m ashamed to have not told Friend Qin Yu my name for such a long time."
"Brother Song Shi, don’t worry about it," Qin Yu did not mind at all.
And now, what Qin Yu most wanted to know was... just who was this old friend of the Green Emperor that he was supposed to meet.
"Brother Song Shi, this time the Green Emperor asked me to come to Crescent Bay to meet someone, do you know who that might be?" Qin Yu inquired, considering that Song Shi was after all a Seventh Level Immortal Emperor.
Presumably, he was a trusted lieutenant of the Green Emperor and should know about the matter.
"Friend Qin Yu, I truly do not know about this; the master will naturally tell you later," Song Shi said with a simple smile on his face.
Qin Yu could only nod and wait quietly for Green Emperor to finish fishing.
About an hour or so passed.
"Got one," the voice of the man in green rang out as he picked up the fishing rod, and on the hook was a fish six inches long with three silver lines running down its back.
"Haha, Qin Yu, my young friend, my luck has improved since you arrived. Today, I actually caught a Silver Light Fish, and it’s even a third-level one," the man in green said as he put down the fishing rod and turned around.
The young man in white robes respectfully smiled and spoke, "Master usually takes several days to catch a Silver Light Fish; catching one in a single day is indeed rare. Qin Yu, this is my Master," the young man in white introduced to Qin Yu.
The man in green effortlessly took out a bamboo flute and rolled it in his hand a few times, his gaze fixed on Qin Yu: "Are you Qin Yu?" From the expression on his face, Green Emperor seemed to take a great interest in Qin Yu.
"The junior is Qin Yu. It’s an honor to meet Senior Green Emperor," Qin Yu said with a cupped fist salute.
Green Emperor clucked his tongue and said, "I remember, about ten years ago on the Blue Snow Star in the Blue Bay Star Domain, there was a great battle. During that fight, I heard people shouting that Thunder Hammer Immortal Emperor was going to kill Qin Yu..."
Qin Yu was taken aback.
Did Green Emperor know about his business? After all, as far as Qin Yu knew, Green Emperor hadn’t sent anyone to the Mortal World back then.
"Feng Yu and Xue Tianya really are quite interesting, fully believing they could easily kill you. Who would have thought you could escape with your life from their hands? Haha... Seeing you today, your reputation is indeed well deserved," Green Emperor said with appreciation as he looked at Qin Yu.
Hearing Green Emperor’s praise, Qin Yu immediately said, "My strength is still far from sufficient. Escaping with my life that day was also a matter of luck."
"Luck, what is luck?" Green Emperor shook his head, disagreeing with this point, "Don’t credit everything to luck. Take opportunity, for example, even if opportunity presents itself to someone, they must seize it to succeed. Immortal Emperor Ni Yang was lucky, wasn’t he, rising from an ordinary Immortal Emperor to a grand emperor of the Immortal Realm, but how did he end up dying? Some say it was bad luck, but I say he wasn’t careful enough!"
Green Emperor appeared to have a clear understanding of the circumstances surrounding Immortal Emperor Ni Yang’s death.
"In the Mishen Palace, you can’t afford to be distracted at any moment... When I was young, because of a slight distraction in Mishen Palace, more than one or two people died," Green Emperor seemed to reminisce about his younger years.
Qin Yu listened intently.
The days of Green Emperor’s youth? When was that? The peers of Green Emperor in his youth have either ascended to the Divine World, died failing the Divine Tribulation, or perished for some other reason.
The Mishen Palace, what is that?
However, Qin Yu found himself agreeing with Green Emperor’s words. Immortal Emperor Ni Yang always blamed his misfortune on bad luck, but in reality, he obtained so many divine artifacts like the Mysterious God Scroll and the Ten Thousand Beasts List. Could he really be considered unlucky?
"Anything from the Divine World must not be taken lightly. A poison insect from the Divine World could harm even the inhabitants of the Divine World, let alone an Immortal Emperor. Even the corpse of a dead poison insect is not to be trifled with. Ni Yang, who else could he blame for his own death?" Green Emperor muttered to himself.
Suddenly, Green Emperor snapped back to the present and looked at Qin Yu, "Oh, Qin Yu, I got caught up in my memories and forgot to talk to you. Sigh, one gets nostalgic in their old age."
Qin Yu was inwardly astonished.
Having just met Green Emperor, Qin Yu found that this Green Emperor wasn’t as ’steady’ as he had expected; instead, he seemed to enjoy joking around and was quite witty.
"Enough about that fool Ni Yang. Qin Yu, I want to introduce you to someone," Green Emperor said mysteriously.
"Senior Green Emperor, who is this good friend you speak of?" Unable to suppress his curiosity, Qin Yu asked.
Green Emperor, with a bamboo flute in hand, twirled it around his fingers and squinted his eyes into a slit with a smile, "Who is it? It’s my good friend, of course."
Qin Yu couldn’t help but laugh and cry, not pressing any further.
"Song Shi, hurry up and arrange the banquet. In the next few days, all my good friends will be coming one by one. If you slight an elder, beware I’ll confine you for a million years," Green Emperor said to Song Shi with a smile.
"My master’s good friends?" As soon as Song Shi heard this, his face lit up with excitement, "This disciple will arrange it right away."
Qin Yu was quite taken aback.
Green Emperor’s bunch of good friends, and Song Shi, a Seventh Level Immortal Emperor, had to call those people ’elders’? Who were these good friends, then?
A feeling arose in Qin Yu’s heart.
Among this group of good friends, Emperor Yu should not be there! Of course, this was just a feeling Qin Yu had, with no basis whatsoever.
"Qin Yu, follow me," Green Emperor said with a smile, walking along the edge of the Cold Pond toward the distant corridor.
Following behind Green Emperor, Qin Yu remained silent, merely observing the layout and architecture of Crescent Bay. Looking along the way, Crescent Bay exuded a natural and vibrant feeling.
Seeing these sights, Qin Yu’s mood was also quite good.
"Qin Yu, we’re almost there," Green Emperor finally broke the silence, turning his head to smile at Qin Yu, "Young brother Qin Yu, you must show respect when we meet the elder. That person is an extraordinary master."
An extraordinary master?
A slight shock ran through Qin Yu’s heart. What surprised him was not that this person was a master, but that Green Emperor referred to that person as an ’extraordinary’ one.
"The junior understands," Qin Yu nodded wisely.
"Mm," Green Emperor, satisfied with the response, led Qin Yu to the side of a flower pool. A path paved with green stones was beside the pool, and at the end of the pool, by the side of the green stone path, stood a stone table with several stone stools.
At the moment, an old lady and a young woman were conversing there.
"Sister Yin Hua," Green Emperor called out cheerfully from a distance.
Turning around, the old lady saw Green Emperor and deliberately put on a stern face, "You disrespectful old man, at the very least call me Friend Yin Hua, and not ’big sister’."
Watching this scene, Qin Yu’s expression remained normal, as he had already become acquainted with Green Emperor’s personality from their previous conversation.
"Ah, the lady is here too," Green Emperor said with a smile upon seeing the woman beside the old lady.
The woman was dressed in a purple robe, her hair pinned up, naturally exuding an aura of grace and nobility. The smile on her face made this noblewoman seem very approachable.
"Even with outsiders present, you behave this way," the lady in the purple robe sighed helplessly.
"Big sister, ever since Chi Qing came out of his seclusion a few days ago, his personality has changed to be slick and smooth-talking. What’s the deal with that? Ah..." the lady in the purple robe said to the old lady with a sense of helplessness.
"Madam," the Green Emperor’s expression turned solemn and he appeared rather ethereal, "Madam, describing me as slick and sly might be an overstatement. I’ve simply had a breakthrough and my state of mind has changed. Enough of that, Sister Yin Hua, didn’t you want to meet young brother Qin Yu? I’ve brought him here."
The Green Emperor always wore a kind smile, especially when he laughed, his eyes narrowing into slits.
To be honest, Qin Yu did like this kind of personality in the Green Emperor.
"Qin Yu?" The old lady looked at Qin Yu in surprise, "Are you Qin Yu?"
At this moment, Qin Yu understood that the Green Emperor’s reason for having him come here was for this old lady who wanted to see him. From the earlier address, the Green Emperor referred to this old lady as ’Sister Yin Hua,’ and Qin Yu thought of one person—Grandma Yin Hua.
"The junior is indeed Qin Yu," Qin Yu said respectfully.
"Qin Yu, Qin Yu." The old lady walked over to Qin Yu, scrutinizing him closely from head to toe, her eyes as if trying to see through him—and she looked for a long time, "Strange, strange, strange."
She sighed three times, uttering ’strange.’
Hearing this, Qin Yu couldn’t help but feel full of questions.
Seeing the puzzled look on Qin Yu’s face, the old lady came to her senses and smiled, "For a junior to achieve so much in such a short time of cultivation is truly remarkable. It’s no wonder that Yan’er has been singing your praises to me."
Upon hearing ’Yan’er,’ Qin Yu was certain without doubt, and immediately said respectfully with a smile, "So the senior is indeed Grandma Yin Hua."
"You may just call me Grandma," Grandma Yin Hua nodded with a smile, "I’ve heard many praises about you from others, so this time I had Chi Qing bring you here for me to have a look. Well, upon looking... you’re quite passable."
In his heart, though, Qin Yu felt somewhat aggrieved, "Just ’quite passable’?"
Qin Yu’s cultivation speed was already astonishingly fast, yet Grandma Yin Hua only commented with ’quite passable.’
"Qin Yu, listen to a word from Grandma," Grandma Yin Hua patted Qin Yu on the shoulder.
"Please speak, Grandma," Seeing how close Grandma Yin Hua was to him, Qin Yu couldn’t help but feel flattered.
Grandma Yin Hua sighed and said, "Let’s not talk about that girl Yan’er; she never thinks about cultivating diligently. Ever since she left, she hasn’t come back to see me once. With her character, I don’t have much hope for her. Seeing you, young man, I want to tell you— you must cultivate earnestly. No matter where you are, only strength can give you rights."
"Your recent actions, I’ve heard about them through Chi Qing. Actually... you’ve been a bit reckless," Grandma Yin Hua lamented, "You mustn’t think that just because you have a set of Divine Artifact Battle Clothes you’re invincible. Black Frost is only a Low Grade Divine Artifact Battle Clothes, and with your strength, there are no fewer than ten people in the Immortal, Demon, and Monster worlds who could break through those combat clothes."
Qin Yu’s heart was greatly surprised upon hearing this.
Setting aside how Grandma Yin Hua knew he possessed the Divine Artifact Battle Clothes ’Black Frost,’ what Grandma Yin Hua said was even more shocking... in the entire realms of Immortals, Demons, and Monsters, there were actually as many as ten who could break through the Divine Artifact Battle Clothes!
"Indeed, innate strength is the most important thing—cultivate well. In this world of Immortals, Demons, and Monsters, it’s rare to find such talented individuals," Grandma Yin Hua sighed.
"Yes, I will firmly remember this," Qin Yu was indeed moved in his heart.
In his heart, he also wanted to cultivate rapidly until he reached the Black Hole Late Stage so that he could unlock the Third Layer of the Ten Thousand Beasts List. But deep down, he really wanted to see his brothers; Qin Yu had set off believing he could traverse the Immortal Realm because he possessed the Jiang Lan Realm.
