Seeing that Ye Yun finally seemed to be relenting a little, a smile bloomed on Qian Qingning's beautiful face.
"No problem, I believe my disciple will absolutely not disappoint Star Lord Ye."
Although her disciple Qian Ling was rebellious at times, she was still a stunning beauty in terms of appearance.
Apart from her slightly flat chest, every other aspect of her was top-notch!
Ye Yun sighed inwardly, lamenting his misfortune. He had come for a celebration, only for it to turn into a matchmaking event.
At this moment, Qian Qingning changed the subject.
"Oh right, I also heard about the matters concerning the Qian Yuan Domain from Bing Yu."
Mentioning this matter, the gloom on Ye Yun's face finally dissipated. He nodded and said.
"Then what is Star Lord Qian's intention..."
Upon hearing this, Qian Qingning sighed softly and said.
"Regarding the Qian Yuan Domain, I will do my best to protect the Heavenly Domain. However, the distance is quite far, and there is likely not much I can do."
"I will dispatch two Celestial Gods to be stationed in your Heavenly Domain. If anything occurs, feel free to command them."
This offer surprised Ye Yun. This woman was truly generous, offering two Celestial Gods right off the bat!
It was likely that the Luoyuan Domain itself possessed very few Celestial God level cultivators.
Sending two immediately was certainly giving him ample face.
"Then I truly thank Star Lord Qian."
Ye Yun was very grateful. Although, given the current state of the Heavenly Domain, they could already contend with Celestial Gods.
But that was ultimately a last resort, one couldn't possibly deploy their trump card every time a Celestial God appeared.
Over time, it would inevitably lead to the opponent finding a way to counter it.
Trump cards were meant to be used unexpectedly.
Qian Qingning smiled faintly and said, "It's nothing. I only hope Star Lord Ye doesn't find it too few."
"Rest assured, my Heavenly Domain now possesses certain means of self-preservation."
Ye Yun's confident tone, accompanied by a smile,
somewhat surprised Qian Qingning.
"Is that so? The Qian Yuan Domain is a third-level great world, and there are quite a few Celestial Gods there."
"Star Lord Qian need not worry about this. I have my own solutions."
He had no intention of revealing anything about the Ten Directions Overturning Heaven Formation for now.
After all, he still couldn't fully trust her at this point.
Seeing that he was unwilling to elaborate, Qian Qingning did not press further. She nodded with a smile and said.
"Very well. If Star Lord Ye has confidence, then that is naturally for the best."
After this exchange, Qian Qingning became even more resolute in her desire for Qian Ling to marry Ye Yun, as it would greatly benefit Qian Ling's future and even the Luoyuan Domain.
The act of dispatching Celestial God level experts to help guard the Heavenly Domain was partly an attempt to win over Ye Yun.
It was akin to betting on his future, that he would become a supreme powerhouse surpassing her. If so, she would have won the bet.
"Oh, there's one more thing I'd like to consult Star Lord Qian about."
Ye Yun looked at Qian Qingning, who replied with a gentle smile.
"You may speak."
Then, Ye Yun posed the question he most wanted to know.
"I have now reached the peak Star God level, but I am still unfamiliar with how to advance to the Celestial God level. I wonder if you could impart some guidance?"
This was the primary objective he had in coming here, which was to gain experience in breaking through to the Celestial God level.
Qian Qingning was taken aback for a moment before smiling warmly.
"Advancing to the Celestial God level... it can be said to be simple, and it can also be said to be difficult. It depends on your individual comprehension."
"Oh? Please do elaborate?"
Ye Yun's eyes sparkled with brilliance.
Then, Qian Qingning explained.
"The so-called Celestial God level is essentially an assessment for advancing to the Main God level, not a truly unique divine position or realm."
"You merely need to calm your mind and feel that power which transcends all things, transcends the laws of heaven, yet aligns with the Great Dao."
"Discover that power, activate it, and condense your divine spark into a void form."
"The process of advancing from Celestial God to Main God is essentially for the deity to re-experience the journey from zero to full."
"How is it? Do you understand?"
After explaining, Qian Qingning asked him with a smile.
Ye Yun nodded thoughtfully, speaking with a hint of daze.
"Uh, I think I sort of get it..."
According to her, it could essentially be understood as.
To break through to the Celestial God realm, the goal was to condense one's divine spark, or oneself, into a state of emptiness.
Thus, the assessment for becoming a Main God would officially begin.
Whether one could ultimately advance to the Main God level, or be forever trapped in the 'trial' realm of Celestial God, would depend on future cultivation.
On the surface, it sounded very simple, but the actual execution was somewhat difficult.
Firstly, how to define this state of emptiness would require careful study...
Seemingly sensing his inner turmoil, Qian Qingning smiled and said, "You don't need to be too anxious. Cultivation relies on timing."
"If you cannot comprehend the true meaning now, perhaps you will suddenly understand it later."
"Uh, that makes some sense."
Ye Yun sighed. Indeed, he was being a bit too eager.
After all, it hadn't been that long since he broke through to the Star God level.
It was somewhat unrealistic to aim for the Celestial God level now...
Then, Qian Qingning said with a smile, "If there's nothing else, I won't disturb you any further."
"The celebration will begin in three days. We shall meet again in the Divine Palace then."
Upon hearing this, Ye Yun did not try to keep her any longer and simply nodded.
"No problem. See you then!"
After this, Ye Yun saw her and the others from the Luoyuan Domain out.
As they parted, Bing Yu did not forget to greet him.
"Then Star Lord Ye, we shall take our leave. See you again in three days!"
Ye Yun nodded in acknowledgment and watched until they had completely departed.
Outside, everyone else was still staring in bewilderment, very curious as to what the Star Lord of the Luoyuan Domain had said to this fellow not long ago.
After seeing Qian Qingning off, Ye Yun glanced at the people around him before quietly returning to his courtyard.
"Sigh, after this whole affair, there will probably be quite a few more rumors."
Ye Yun shook his head and sighed inwardly.
However, upon entering his room, he was met with the complaints of a certain classmate named Xiao Ai.
"Master~ are you really going to marry her disciple?"
Her voice clearly carried a sense of unwillingness, as if something important had been snatched away.
Ye Yun found it both amusing and exasperating. He explained helplessly.
"Who told you that? Do I look like a scoundrel who can't walk when he sees a woman?"
"Uh..."
His response was met with Xiao Ai's suspicious gaze, as if to say, "Yes, Master, you are exactly like that."
Ye Yun shook his head helplessly and said, "I say, you little girl, don't hang around with your senior sisters and learn bad things."
