"Old Long, oh, Old Long, you truly love stirring up chaos," Chi Qing said laughingly while scolding. "Unlike the Dragon Clan that inherits distinctive talents, or Emperor Ni born from the heavens and earth, even if I’m somewhat lucky, I am still far from being the first in the realms of Immortals, Demons, and Beasts."
Phoenix Emperor Ni also laughed and scolded, "This Old Long, as the sovereign of the Dragon Clan, possesses countless treasures we don’t even know about. At most, the realms of Immortals, Demons, and Beasts had two Phoenixes, and now, there is only me left. Once I pass the Divine Tribulation and ascend, you won’t be able to find a Phoenix in these realms anymore. But the Dragon Clan... they are numerous and crowded like stars in the sky."
Qin Yu listened on the side, finding it amusing.
However, he could guess that the magnificent Dragon Emperor of the Dragon Clan must possess incredible treasures.
The ninth-level Demon Emperor and Super Divine Beast, the Dragon Emperor of the Dragon Clan, Green Emperor who had spent countless years at the eighth level of the Immortal Emperor, and the mysterious Grandma Yin Hua. None of them should be underestimated.
"In the past when we gathered, there was also Golden Punishment Monarch, but now he is no longer with us," Emperor Ni suddenly sighed.
"Yes indeed, Golden Punishment Monarch. I still remember the scenes from our gatherings," Green Emperor also sighed.
Qin Yu was surprised.
Golden Punishment Monarch, who was that?
Noticing the puzzled expression on Qin Yu’s face, the Dragon Emperor smiled and said, "Qin Yu, it seems you do not know about Golden Punishment Monarch, but you should know about the Dark Star Realm, right?"
Qin Yu nodded.
Between the Immortal Realm and the Feiqin Clan’s territory, the northeastern region of the realms of Immortals, Demons, and Beasts, covering one-tenth of these realms, is the legendary Dark Star Realm.
"The Dark Star Realm has three great monarchs. These three sovereigns follow a hereditary system, passing down from generation to generation. The three great monarchs are Golden Punishment Monarch, Black Flame Lord, and Bai Xuanjun," explained the Dragon Emperor further.
Astonishing!
Qin Yu’s heart suddenly trembled.
He finally knew who Black Flame Lord and Bai Xuanjun were.
So it turned out that they were two of the three great monarchs of the Dark Star Realm.
The Dragon Emperor continued, "The three great monarchs of the Dark Star Realm have been passed down from generation to generation. Golden Punishment Monarch was the leader, with Black Flame Lord and Bai Xuanjun taking auxiliary roles. They jointly manage the entire Dark Star Realm. The previous Golden Punishment Monarch was a good friend of Emperor Ni, Green Emperor, and me, and the four of us often gathered together."
Lonely at the top.
At the level of the Dragon Emperor, they usually only interacted equally with these four individuals, who all knew the formidable capabilities of each other.
Green Emperor also nodded, "Among us four, Golden Punishment Monarch was the strongest, and he was our big brother. It’s just that... Golden Punishment Monarch has already passed the Divine Tribulation and ascended to the Divine Realm."
Ascended to the Divine Realm?
Qin Yu was slightly surprised. Although he had always heard about ascending to the Divine World after passing the Divine Tribulation, it was the first time he heard about a real person who had ascended to the Divine World.
Golden Punishment Monarch, the primary among the three great monarchs of the Dark Star Realm.
"Speaking of Crossing God Tribulation, it seems that the three great monarchs of the Dark Star Realm are the most formidable. No matter which generation of monarchs, it seems none have ever failed. While in the Immortal Realm, Demon World, and Beast Realm, the likelihood of failure is much higher," Green Emperor remarked.
"Green Emperor, are you saying none have ever failed?" Qin Yu found it hard to believe.
"Yes, at least as far as I know," nodded Green Emperor.
Qin Yu was impressed.
Being able to successfully cross the tribulation also indicated their strength. Each generation of the three great monarchs of the Dark Star Realm had successfully crossed the Divine Tribulation. The strength of these three great monarchs of the Dark Star Realm was imaginable, and the previous Golden Punishment Monarch, whom people like Green Emperor considered big brother, must have been truly powerful.
"Although the Dark Star Realm occupies only one-tenth of the realms of Immortals, Demons, and Beasts, its true strength must be frighteningly amazing," Qin Yu couldn’t help but reflect inwardly.

Grandma Yin Hua, Green Emperor, Emperor Ni, and Dragon Emperor were conversing, casually discussing some secrets of the realms of Immortals, Demons, and Beasts, while the Dragon Emperor seemed particularly kind to Qin Yu, often explaining certain matters to him.
As the four of them talked, Qin Yu did not feel it was his place to ask more questions. Often confused, he was grateful for the Dragon Emperor’s patient clarifications, and he grew fond of the Dragon Emperor.
Having listened to so much, Qin Yu fully understood.
The reason why Emperor Ni and the Dragon Emperor had come was to celebrate Green Emperor’s achievements, mainly because Green Emperor had finally succeeded after years of hard cultivation. As for what that hard cultivation entailed... Qin Yu wasn’t quite sure.
"Chi Qing, when do you plan to undergo the God Tribulation?" the Dragon Emperor suddenly asked.
"When?" Green Emperor pondered for a moment. "I have not thought about it carefully yet, but... it shouldn’t be long now. To tell the truth, what I desire most after so many years of cultivation is indeed to undergo the God Tribulation. Now that I have truly succeeded in cultivation, I find myself uncertain," Green Emperor said with self-deprecating laughter.
Qin Yu was puzzled: Can one really choose when to undergo the God Tribulation?
As far as Qin Yu knew, one normally sensed when to undergo the God Tribulation once their powers had reached a certain level. When to undergo the God Tribulation was decided by fate. How could the cultivator decide for themselves?
But Qin Yu did not ask; he just listened quietly.
"Chi Qing, perhaps you will undergo the God Tribulation even before me," said Emperor Ni with a laugh.
Emperor Ni was also a ninth-level Demon Emperor, but she had not yet sensed when she would undergo the God Tribulation.
Grandma Yin Hua spoke laughingly, "Chi Qing has been in the realms of Immortals, Demons, and Beasts for far too long. There isn’t much point in staying any longer. It would be better for him to undergo the God Tribulation and ascend to the Divine Realm sooner."
"Yes, that’s true," the Dragon Emperor agreed.
...
During the conversation, Qin Yu left, mainly because the topics had shifted to more trivial matters among friends, and he felt awkward listening in as an outsider and a junior. Knowing Qin Yu’s discomfort, Grandma Yin Hua, the Dragon Emperor, and the others allowed Qin Yu to leave earlier.
Though he hadn’t eaten anything at this gathering, Qin Yu had learned a lot.
Back at his residence, Qin Yu’s heart was still not at peace.
"The Dragon Emperor, Emperor Ni, and their group must be among the highest echelon of people in the realms of Immortals, Demons, and Beasts," Qin Yu’s heart was full of awe. The strength of that group was overwhelming, and Qin Yu felt...
Any one of them could easily deal with him if they wanted to.
As for the Divine Artifact Combat Clothes?
Grandma Yin Hua had once mentioned that there are no fewer than ten people in the Immortal, Demon, and Demon World who could break through her Divine Artifact Combat Clothes. Qin Yu felt that these four people could definitely shatter his Divine Artifact Combat Clothes, causing the Black Hole within him to collapse immediately!
"These are truly masters, and the gap between them and me is still very large," Qin Yu sighed deeply.
These four people were Ninth Level Immortal Emperors, including the Hidden Emperor, Lin Yin. Qin Yu also felt that Lin Yin was no match for these four.

Bibo Star, as the core planet of the Bai Zhi Star System, was well-connected. There were several Interstellar Transmission Arrays, including three that connected Bibo Star to other star systems within the Bai Zhi Star System.
These three Interstellar Transmission Arrays respectively led to the north, west, and east of the Bai Zhi Star System, covering three major star systems.
The star system to the west of the Bai Zhi Star System was named ’Blood River Star System’. The Blood River Star System was elongated in shape, surrounded by a faint red haze, resembling a blood-red river.
The Interstellar Transmission Array from Bibo Star to the ’Blood River Star System’ precisely transported to the Reef Yellow Star.
On the Reef Yellow Star in the Blood River Star System.
Rushing rivers surged directly north, while above them floated three figures, led by a man in a purple robe, Emperor Yu, with two young men in white standing behind him.
A massive wave of Immortal Consciousness came from the direction of the Bai Zhi Star System, crossing the cosmic space between two major star systems and enveloping the entire Reef Yellow Star.
"Brother Chi Qing’s Immortal Consciousness is very powerful," Emperor Yu extended his own Immortal Consciousness, fully interfacing with the other’s.
"Brother Feng Yu, what is it that you are contacting me about?" asked the Green Emperor. Before this, Emperor Yu had just used the Communication Spirit Pearl to reach out to him, and since they were not far from each other, they communicated via Immortal Consciousness.
The distance was not large for them, but the distance between two star systems was still formidable.
"Yu Fan has already told me everything, and I am just surprised... Brother Chi Qing already knew that person was Qin Yu," Emperor Yu said, his face smiling as he transmitted his words through Immortal Consciousness.
"If Brother Feng Yu can know, it’s not surprising that I also know," the Green Emperor chuckled.
Emperor Yu cursed inwardly.
The Green Emperor, this old fellow, was too secretive. Even after so many years, neither Emperor Yu nor Emperor Xuan had fully realized how much strength he was concealing, but even the part they had discovered was astonishing.
"Brother Chi Qing, I have approached you this time regarding this matter of Qin Yu," Emperor Yu stated plainly.
"Are you talking about Qin Yu? Do you want the Mysterious God Scroll?" The Green Emperor countered.
Emperor Yu was taken aback. It was only then that he realized the Green Emperor actually knew so much. At that moment...Emperor Yu became cautious; he did not believe the Green Emperor would be indifferent to the Mysterious God Scroll.
"So Brother Chi Qing knew everything. Yes, I want the Mysterious God Scroll. You know, Crossing the Divine Tribulation is very difficult. One misstep and millions of years of hard cultivation can vanish in an instant. I want to be as sure as possible to successfully cross the Divine Tribulation," Emperor Yu honestly confessed everything.
The Green Emperor was silent for a long time.
"I understand what you are thinking," the Green Emperor measured his words, "but I have taken some liking to this young brother, Qin Yu. If he is just going to be killed by you, then..."
"Brother Chi Qing," Emperor Yu interrupted Green Emperor’s words.
"It seems Brother Chi Qing never knew Qin Yu in the past, and even if there is some good feeling upon meeting now, what does it count for? Not knowing each other in the past and only having met a few days ago, there shouldn’t be deep feelings. Could it be... Brother Chi Qing is also interested in the Mysterious God Scroll?" Emperor Yu countered.
"The Mysterious God Scroll? Hmph, Feng Yu, when Ni Yang possessed the Mysterious God Scroll and you, Emperor Xuan, and others went to the Mishen Palace, did I go? That time when you invited the Blood Demon Emperor and others, did I attend? It seems I never went there once. You say I’m interested in the Mysterious God Scroll? Isn’t that a bit ridiculous?" Green Emperor said with some anger.
Emperor Yu of course knew these details about the Green Emperor.
The top experts from the Immortal, Demon, and Demon Worlds had entered the Mishen Palace several times, but Green Emperor never had. At least, Emperor Yu and others had never heard of Green Emperor going there.
Unless Green Emperor went in alone, secretly.
Emperor Yu simply didn’t believe Green Emperor would be so foolish as to not join the others for an easy entry, but instead go on his own and risk it.
"Brother Chi Qing, let’s say I spoke wrongly, but why are you so keen on protecting Qin Yu?" Emperor Yu was somewhat anxious in his heart; if Green Emperor was determined to protect Qin Yu, then his plan to kill Qin Yu would indeed become difficult.
Biting his teeth, Emperor Yu whispered through a spiritual transmission, "Brother Chi Qing, I remember you owe me a favor, right? You once said that if I asked you for anything, you would do your utmost to help me. Now..."
"To kill Qin Yu, absolutely impossible," Green Emperor stated decisively. "I owe you a favor, you can ask me to do other things, but killing him is out of the question."
"I’m not asking you to kill him, I just need you... not to obstruct me," Emperor Yu continued, "like this... on the Bai Zhi Star System’s domain, I absolutely won’t make a move, but when he leaves the Bai Zhi Star System, you must tell me immediately. As long as you tell me, this favor will be considered repaid, how about it?"
Owing a favor was not common for such a high-level expert like Green Emperor.
Originally, when Green Emperor needed a treasure, Emperor Yu, delighted by the opportunity, did everything possible to obtain it and gave it to Green Emperor, all to have Green Emperor owe him a favor. Now, using this favor was also somewhat regrettable for Emperor Yu.
Seeing that Green Emperor remained silent, Emperor Yu persisted, "I’m just asking you to inform me, you don’t have to do anything yourself, even not on your own turf."
"Well... okay," Green Emperor finally agreed. "When Qin Yu uses the interstellar transmission array, I’ll inform you, just remember, whatever happens, on my territory, you cannot kill him. How you act or whether you succeed is none of my business."
"Good, it’s a deal," Emperor Yu rejoiced internally.
"Let it be so," Green Emperor recalled his overwhelming immortal consciousness.
A slight smile appeared on Emperor Yu’s face, and one of the two white-robed youths behind him asked, "Your Majesty, is the matter settled?"
"When Green Emperor gives his word, he absolutely follows through," Emperor Yu said confidently. Suddenly, Emperor Yu inquired, "By the way, how many among my subordinate Immortal Emperors have arrived at the three gathering points?"
The youth on the left respectfully said, "So far, sixteen Immortal Emperors have reached those three gathering planets; the other Immortal Emperors are still en route, but within a day, definitely forty-eight Immortal Emperors will have arrived."
"Very good," Emperor Yu was in a very good mood at this moment.
Among Emperor Yu’s subordinates, the infamous Immortal Emperors included the Eighteen Emperors and Thirty-six Lords, along with numerous other less renowned yet strong Immortal Emperors.
"Qin Yu, this time I’ve laid a Heaven and Earth Net; I want to see how you’ll escape," Emperor Yu was full of confidence.
