"Alright, then it's decided."
Qian Qingning smiled and nodded, choosing to trust Ye Yun once more.
Speaking of which, the other party had created a miracle last time. Now that he had reached the Divine God level, perhaps he could truly contend with Divine Gods above the thirtieth order.
After finishing, she changed the subject and continued.
"Oh, right. I have another important matter to discuss with you this time."
Qian Qingning said with a light laugh, "Last time I mentioned that if you could help Qian Ling successfully complete her trial, you would be handsomely rewarded. This time, I've come to fulfill that promise."
"Oh, that matter."
Ye Yun then recalled the past, but at that time, he hadn't taken her words to heart.
Now, he wasn't expecting her to give him any precious treasures.
"Star Lord Qian, there's no need to be so polite. The divine artifacts from the Qian Yuan Domain were already extremely valuable rewards for me."
"What was then, is now."
As she spoke, a red light flashed in Qian Qingning's hand, and in an instant, an object appeared.
Seeing the treasure that materialized, Xing Wu and the others nearby looked somewhat puzzled. What kind of treasure was this?
But upon seeing it, Ye Yun's expression changed slightly.
"Star Lord Qian, why did you bring this here? This should be something extremely precious to your Ling Luo Domain!"
He was so shocked because the treasure she was giving him was actually the broken sword he had seen underground in the Ling Luo Domain before.
It was also why Xing Wu and the others were a bit confused, thinking what kind of treasure it was to present a broken sword when they said they would give a treasure.
But Ye Yun knew very well how special this broken sword was, especially its peculiar connection with Xiao Ai...
Qian Qingning smiled dismissively, "In the past, this was indeed very precious, but it's been different these last few years."
"These past few years, its contribution to our Ling Luo Domain has been very limited, and I've realized that even without it, it doesn't affect what has already been improved."
"Under such circumstances, its role for our Ling Luo Domain is not very significant anymore."
Clearly, the broken sword's impact on the planet itself had an upper limit, and it wasn't an infinite boost.
But it was also understandable. If it had such powerful effects, who would use this sword? It would likely be revered and enshrined!
"Even so, its preciousness..."
Ye Yun frowned, but before he could finish, Qian Qingning interrupted him with a smile.
"Even the most precious things are best in the hands of the most suitable person, where they can be of use."
She smiled and continued to explain, "Your disciple was able to connect with this broken sword earlier. It seems there is some unshakeable bond between them."
"I thought that perhaps in the future, with this broken sword in your hands, it might play some significant role."
Compared to ordinary cultivators, her generous act was truly astonishing.
Ye Yun was also seriously considering her words. Indeed, everything about Xiao Ai was quite mysterious, and perhaps this broken sword held some clues.
After much deliberation, Ye Yun finally took a deep breath and nodded.
"Alright, thank you for your generous gift, Star Lord Qian!"
"It's just a small token, there's no need to dwell on it."
Saying this, Qian Qingning handed the broken sword over.
Ye Yun took the broken sword from her hands, already thinking about what he should give in return later.
Ye Yun was a person who disliked owing favors, so he would definitely repay this favor of the sword in the future.
"These are the three matters I came for. If there's nothing else, I'll be returning to the Ling Luo Domain?"
The Star Lords who left their respective Great Worlds felt a peculiar kind of worry for their Great Worlds, much like the special relationship between a mother and child.
Even though they knew their worlds were safe, they couldn't help but feel concerned.
Hearing this, Ye Yun pondered for a moment and realized there was indeed something he had almost forgotten to ask about.
"Ah, yes, there was something I wanted to ask you last time."
"Hmm? Go ahead."
Qian Qingning looked at Ye Yun in confusion.
Ye Yun thought for a moment and asked.
"It's about how to strip the divine spark of another person if I wish to obtain it?"
Generally speaking, as long as the divine spark is not destroyed, the god will not die.
In other words, once a god is killed, their divine spark will also dissipate along with them.
Unless, like Xiao Meng's mother, they willingly died to preserve their divine spark intact.
This made Ye Yun, who wanted to obtain divine sparks, quite frustrated.
Upon hearing his question, Qian Qingning immediately frowned.
"There is a method, but the process is quite cruel, and the difficulty is not low. There are also significant limitations on the target. Are you sure you need it?"
"Yes, as you can see, the situation in our Sky Domain is not optimistic. Absorbing divine sparks is the only way for people to easily reach the Divine God level."
At least until the cultivation environment in the Sky Domain improved, Ye Yun estimated that he would need other people's divine sparks to reach the Divine God level.
Qian Qingning also seemed to realize this and mused for a moment before saying,
"I see. Then I will tell you about this so-called Divine Spark Stripping Technique..."
As she spoke, Ye Yun listened very attentively.
After listening, he realized that the method indeed had significant limitations.
Leaving aside other difficulties, the most crucial one was that the cultivator whose divine spark was being stripped had to be a full major realm lower than oneself, otherwise, one might suffer a backlash and the target's dying counterattack.
This point alone deterred many people. This meant that even as a Divine God, he could only strip the divine sparks of ordinary入门级 Star Gods.
However, in general, it was better than nothing. At least he had grasped a method. Perhaps in the future, with a broader perspective, he might find better ways...
"The Divine Spark Stripping Technique is basically like this. It is somewhat immoral, so it is best to use it with caution."
Qian Qingning reiterated, demonstrating the cruelty of the method.
Hearing this, Ye Yun nodded heavily.
"Don't worry, I will only use it against enemies, like the people from the Qian Yuan Domain and the Wind Domain this time."
"That is acceptable."
Qian Qingning nodded. Frankly, in her opinion, such ruthless methods should be used against aggressive individuals like those from the Qian Yuan Domain!
After speaking, she asked with a smile.
"Besides this, are there any other questions?"
"No, there are no more."
"Then I will take my leave and return to make arrangements for the mobilization."
Qian Qingning smiled and was about to leave. However, when her gaze fell upon Xing Wu, she suddenly paused.
"Wait, who is this..."
She seemed to have noticed something unusual, her eyes filled with surprise.
Hearing this, Ye Yun smiled and introduced her, "Her? She is the immortal companion I mentioned before. Of course, she is now my wife."
At this moment, Xing Wu stepped forward and nodded.
"Greetings, Star Lord Qian."
