Chapter 371: 12 episodes 61 Chapters Old Friends
Immortal Realm, Panluan Star Domain, Bibo Star, Crescent Bay, Qin Yu was conversing with Grandma Yin Hua.
Grandma Yin Hua looked at Qin Yu closely and laughed as she said, "Actually, seeing you now, it seems that having you endure hardships a few more times is quite beneficial. Growing through setbacks in battle increases the pace much faster than secluded cultivation."
"Sister Yin Hua is absolutely right. When I was younger, I cultivated in one go up to the Eighth Level Immortal Emperor, and nearly all my growth occurred through battles and killings. The pace... was much quicker than these recent years of cultivation," the Green Emperor also sighed.
Qin Yu, like a well-mannered junior, nodded in agreement at the side.
"Chi Qing, you are also a person of great fortune. If it had been someone else, achieving what you have would be impossible," Grandma Yin Hua said with a smile.
The Green Emperor smiled slightly with a hint of pride, "That’s because I understand satisfaction."
Qin Yu listened quietly on the side, he could tell that the conversation between Grandma Yin Hua and the Green Emperor touched on the real reason why the Green Emperor had stayed at the Eighth Level Immortal Emperor for so long, but Qin Yu still couldn’t figure out the exact reason.
However, Qin Yu was certain about one thing; the Green Emperor staying at the Eighth Level Immortal Emperor for so long was not misfortune, but rather a great fortune.
"Qin Yu, how are things going between Yan’er and that Jun Luoyu?" Grandma Yin Hua turned to Qin Yu and asked, her eyes full of affection, which was the affection she had for Jiang Yan.
Qin Yu smiled and said, "Brother Luo Yu has already returned to his hometown for secluded bitter cultivation, and Yan’er has followed him. As for their relationship... I really can’t say."
Jiang Yan, Jun Luoyu?
Qin Yu really did not know what to say in his heart; Jun Luoyu only remembered his wife. As for Jiang Yan, he showed care at most, it really didn’t involve any love, while Jiang Yan... didn’t mind at all, and just stayed by Jun Luoyu’s side.
"Alas, a karmic entanglement," Grandma Yin Hua sighed with a bitter smile, "Back then, this girl wanted to experience this world and begged me many times. Eventually, I agreed, but who would have thought that as soon as she stepped into the mundane world, she got entangled with Jun Luoyu."
Grandma Yin Hua also appeared helpless.
The purple-robed noblewoman by Grandma Yin Hua’s side consoled her, "Big sister, don’t worry too much about it, just consider it as Yan’er’s mundane cultivation."
"Yes, that’s the only way to think of it," Grandma Yin Hua nodded.
Grandma Yin Hua then smiled and glanced at Qin Yu, "This time when I came to your Crescent Bay, Chi Qing, the thing that made me happiest was meeting little Brother Qin Yu. He indeed has potential and hope, but his current strength is still too weak."
"Grandma, the junior will certainly strive hard in his cultivation," Qin Yu thought it strange in his heart.
This Grandma Yin Hua, even though she knew he was acquainted with Jiang Yan and might be curious about him, shouldn’t exaggerate it to the extent that—coming to Crescent Bay, she was most happy to meet him. That seemed to overestimate his importance a bit.
He had never seen Grandma Yin Hua in the past.
"Qin Yu, stay in Crescent Bay for some more days. In the next few days, Chi Qing’s old friend will visit, and you should meet him as well," Grandma Yin Hua said to Qin Yu with a smile, her eyes filled with kindness.
"Sister Yin Hua?" the Green Emperor looked at Grandma Yin Hua in surprise.
Others might not know the identity of the Green Emperor’s old friend, but the Green Emperor himself certainly knew, and it was strange that Grandma Yin Hua would say this since his friend wasn’t someone just anyone could meet.
Grandma Yin Hua glanced at the Green Emperor and replied with a gentle smile, "Qin Yu, he has the qualifications to meet them."
Hearing Grandma Yin Hua say so, the Green Emperor no longer objected and turned to Qin Yu with a smile, "Little Brother Qin Yu, you should stay for some days then."
From the conversation between the Green Emperor and Grandma Yin Hua, Qin Yu could infer something; clearly, in the Green Emperor’s view, he shouldn’t have qualified to meet those people. Qin Yu therefore smiled and said, "When the seniors meet, this junior will not disturb you."
"No need, when the time comes, you should come," Grandma Yin Hua replied directly, then smiled at Qin Yu, "If you don’t come then, grandma will be angry."
"Qin Yu, Sister Yin Hua asked you to come, so just come," Green Emperor urged Qin Yu then.
Qin Yu felt warmth in his heart and nodded immediately, "It is my fortune to meet those seniors, and I will surely be there when the time comes."

Afterward, led by a servant, Qin Yu went to his own residence. The wife of Green Emperor also left, while Green Emperor and Grandma Yin Hua stood by the flower pond discussing about Qin Yu.
"Sister Yin Hua, is it appropriate for you to ask Qin Yu to come?" Green Emperor questioned, "Even though this Qin Yu cultivates quickly, in a thousand or ten thousand years, he might have the qualifications to speak with me as an equal, but right now, his strength is still far from sufficient."
Grandma Yin Hua said nothing but stood and looked up at the sky, her gaze seeming to penetrate the atmosphere of Bibo Star, through the endless void...
"Chi Qing, there are many things you do not yet know," said Grandma Yin Hua after a long while, her voice ringing out in the large garden.
Green Emperor appeared slightly astonished.
"Not to mention the future him, even the current Qin Yu is qualified to meet your old friends; you will understand later," Grandma Yin Hua said before standing up and walking towards her own residence.
Green Emperor watched Grandma Yin Hua’s back, then turned his head towards the direction of Qin Yu’s residence, his brows slightly furrowing.
...
In Crescent Bay - from Green Emperor and Grandma Yin Hua down to any maid, everyone was extremely friendly and kind. Qin Yu had a very comfortable time in Crescent Bay during these days and had met Green Emperor and Grandma Yin Hua once or twice.
"Haha... Chi Qing, all the old friends have arrived, won’t you come out?" A hearty laughter resonated in the sky above Crescent Bay.
"Old friends?" Qin Yu, who was talking with Song Shi, suddenly paused and looked up towards the source of the sound.
He saw a golden figure slowly descending from the sky. Although the golden figure was not far from Qin Yu and even moved slowly, Qin Yu still couldn’t clearly see what the golden figure truly looked like.
"Ah, Qin Yu, I have to go out and get busy now, we’ll talk again later," Song Shi hurriedly said to Qin Yu.
Qin Yu knew that Song Shi was responsible for receiving Green Emperor’s old friends, so he did not impede him and smiled, "Song Shi, go ahead and get busy."
Just as his words fell.
"Mr. Qin Yu, His Majesty has asked you to quickly come to the south side of Cold Pond," a maid appeared at the front of Qin Yu’s residence.
"I will be right there," Qin Yu immediately got up.
He knew that Grandma Yin Hua had previously mentioned having him meet Green Emperor’s old friends. And now... it was probably time to meet the person in the golden figure.
Having stayed in Crescent Bay for a few days, Qin Yu was familiar with the paths. He followed the corridor, making nine turns and eighteen bends, and soon arrived at the Cold Pond where Green Emperor had been fishing before. The pond was extremely cold, with a thin layer of mist drifting around it.
The ground on the south side of Cold Pond was covered with a very soft type of black grass, and there were also two stone tables and more than a dozen stone stools placed randomly around, with some strange delicacies on the tables.
At that moment, there were three people on the south side of Cold Pond: Grandma Yin Hua, Green Emperor, and the golden figure, and even Green Emperor’s wife was not there.
The maid stopped at a distance from Cold Pond.
"Qin Yu, come, quickly," Grandma Yin Hua turned her head, greeted happily, and immediately Green Emperor and the golden figure turned around to look this way.
Only then did Qin Yu clearly see that the person with the golden figure was an elderly man dressed in a golden robe.
Of course, Qin Yu understood that a cultivator’s age could not be determined from their appearance. Some Immortal Emperors appeared young, but they might actually be tens of millions of years old. To cultivators, age had already lost much of its significance.
Strength was the basis for determining the seniority between elders and juniors.
"Come, Qin Yu, let me introduce you," Grandma Yin Hua said with a chuckle as she held Qin Yu’s hand, while Qin Yu was already carefully observing the elderly man in golden robes and white hair.
Majesty.
This man in golden robes and white hair did not need to affect a posture; just a smile bore an authority of a superior, which emitted a noble majesty from his very bones, from his soul.
"Qin Yu, this is the current Clan Leader of the Dragon Clan," Grandma Yin Hua said with a smile.
Qin Yu’s heart skipped a beat.
It was the Dragon Emperor of the Dragon Clan, the father of his elder brother Ao Wuming!
Dragon Emperor Ao Fang held a very high reputation within the Dragon Clan. He had two sons, one a Five-clawed Golden Dragon, and the other a Mutated Super Divine Beast, the ’Blood Dragon’, which was unprecedented in Dragon Clan history.
"Junior Qin Yu pays his respects to Senior Ao," Qin Yu said respectfully.
The Dragon Emperor, whose clan alone possessed enough strength to rival an entire realm of the Immortal Realm, had a status one can only imagine; it was even higher than that of Emperor Yu, Green Emperor, Emperor Xuan, and others.
The Dragon Emperor looked at Qin Yu meaningfully for a long while. "You are Qin Yu? The brother of my unfilial son?"
"Unfilial son?" Qin Yu was slightly startled inside.
Ao Wuming, seen as an unfilial son in the eyes of the Dragon Emperor?
"Ao Fang, how many years has it been, and you still care about this matter? I think Wuming is quite fine. Is it such a big deal that he married a White Fox as his wife?" the Green Emperor said discontentedly.
The countenance of the Dragon Emperor darkened, "Chi Qing, you say it’s not a big deal? Do you know how noble the bloodline of a Five-clawed Golden Dragon is? The children of a Five-clawed Golden Dragon, even if they aren’t Five-clawed Golden Dragons themselves, are typically Golden Dragons. But this unfilial son of mine, Wuming, declined to marry within the Dragon Clan and instead married a White Fox. Isn’t that a waste of the Five-clawed Golden Dragon’s bloodline?"
Qin Yu finally realized.
The children of a Five-clawed Golden Dragon were always extraordinary.
Just looking at the Dragon Emperor’s two sons, one could tell; one a Super Divine Beast, and the other a Mutated Super Divine Beast.
Of course, the Dragon Emperor was a special case, but typically, the offspring of a Five-clawed Golden Dragon are also Golden Dragons. But now... Ao Wuming had married a White Fox, taking a non-Dragon Clan bride.
Typically, when the Dragon Clan married outside their race, the offspring wouldn’t be pure Dragon Clan, potentially with the true form being a Dragon, but possibly as a White Fox too!
"Old Long, oh Old Long, you are really too harsh on your own children. Why must you meddle in whom they marry?" A gentle and tender voice rang out, accompanied by a rainbow light that appeared beside the group.
The rainbow light transformed into a person, a beautiful woman.
Her entire being exuded an indescribable nobility that made anyone looking at her feel a sense of subservience. Her gaze was warm enough to make one feel felt.
"Who is this person?" Qin Yu wondered.
Qin Yu’s Immortal Consciousness was very sensitive, but among the individuals present, he felt a vague sensation. Of the four people present, Qin Yu could not discern any of their strengths, including that of the Green Emperor, said to be at the Eighth Level Immortal Emperor.
Qin Yu could sense the strength of Emperor Yu and Xue Tianya, but he could not see through the Green Emperor and the others.
"You’ve come too. That unfilial son, I can’t control him anymore. To think he hasn’t visited me even once in all these years," the Dragon Emperor sighed helplessly.
"Senior Ao, Brother Wu Ming and Sister-in-law Lian Zhu are still quite loving toward each other. You don’t need to press him too much," Qin Yu advised.
"Senior Ao? You might as well be considered my son’s brother, so you should just call me Uncle from now on," the Dragon Emperor said to Qin Yu with a smile.
Qin Yu was taken aback, but still said, "Qin Yu greets Uncle." But in his heart, Qin Yu was somewhat surprised. The Dragon Emperor’s attitude toward him seemed too favorable.
The Dragon Emperor nodded with a smile, "Good, you call me Uncle, and when you see Wu Xu, that unfilial son, you can also refer to him as Big Brother."
"Wu Xu?" Qin Yu thought of someone in his heart, that Mutated Super Divine Beast, Blood Dragon Ao Wuxu. How did the Dragon Emperor suddenly mention Ao Wuxu? He certainly had never met him before.
"Cunning," the Green Emperor laughed aloud.
"Extremely cunning!" The red-clothed woman also had a smile on her face.
The Dragon Emperor’s face turned slightly red with the Green Emperor and red-clothed woman saying so and he hurriedly said, "Qin Yu, you may not know who this is yet, let me introduce her, this is the Feiqin Clan’s much-admired phoenix, Emperor Ni!"
Emperor Ni, the Super Divine Beast phoenix of the Feiqin Clan, a Ninth-level Demon Emperor.
Her strength could be considered absolutely at the pinnacle of the Immortal, Demon, and Demon World.
"The junior has seen Senior Emperor Ni," Qin Yu quickly said.
He truly hadn’t expected this red-clothed woman to be Emperor Ni. In Qin Yu’s mind, a Ninth-level Demon Emperor, a Super Divine Beast, could definitely be called the number one person in the Immortal, Demon, and Demon World.
Emperor Ni smiled at Qin Yu and nodded slightly.
"Emperor Ni, this lady you should probably know," the Dragon Emperor said with a smile, pointing to Grandma Yin Hua.
"It’s Sister Yin Hua," Emperor Ni laughed, "I only saw her appearance through Sister’s Great Divine Power last time, but never saw her real face. This is the first time we’re meeting in person."
"It’s our first time meeting, and this meeting is also thanks to Brother Chi Qing’s successful cultivation," Grandma Yin Hua laughed, "Otherwise, who knows when we would have been able to meet?"
Qin Yu felt a twitch in his heart. A Ninth-level Demon Emperor Super Divine Beast, holding such respect for Grandma Yin Hua?
Qin Yu began to wonder, who exactly is the number one expert in the Immortal, Demon, and Demon World?
A Ninth-level Demon Emperor Super Divine Beast, the mysterious Grandma Yin Hua, or the Dragon Emperor?
"Ah, I haven’t congratulated Brother Chi Qing yet. Brother Chi Qing devoted himself to arduous cultivation for tens of millions of years and finally achieved great success. Looking across the Immortal, Demon, and Demon World, Brother Chi Qing should now be considered the first, right?" the Dragon Emperor exclaimed.
Qin Yu was once again astonished upon hearing this.
An Eighth-level Immortal Emperor, the Green Emperor, could actually be called the first in the Immortal, Demon, and Demon World?
Confusing.
About these people’s strengths, Qin Yu’s mind was utterly confused.
(These four, who is the strongest?)
