Elder apprentice brother was getting married.
After the Spring Master died, although the Peach Garden’s status had improved, the journey had been filled with challenges as well as danger.
If he had been just slightly careless, the whole situation would have overturned and everyone would have died with him.
Under pressure, all the disciples from the Peach Garden had gone into seclusion to cultivate in order to break through to the next realm as quickly as possible. This was to cement the Peach Garden’s position and contribute with their own strength.
Hence, elder apprentice brother’s marriage was the first celebration after the huge calamity.
All the disciples came out to attend the wedding. With elder apprentice brother having reached the realm of a True Saint, it increased the Peach Garden’s prestige…this wedding was a grand event in the entire Vast Brightness World.
Numerous important guests attended and prepared huge gifts.
Today, the Peach Garden was dazzling. With many powerful people gathered, the aura they released floated over the Peach Garden and everyone watched the spectacle with amazement.
There had not been such a wedding in the Vast Brightness World in recent years.
The newlyweds were both Peach Garden disciples and were both orphans. The whole ceremony was very simple but still extremely grand.
Qin Yu tried to reject them three times, but under elder apprentice brother and seventh apprentice sister’s insistence, he ended up helping them to host the ceremony.
The guests saw their interaction and their expressions shifted slightly. They smiled even brighter. Even True Saints had to put their hands together to offer their most sincere blessings.
After the main part of the ceremony, the newlyweds left temporarily. There was no need for Qin Yu to continue hosting. He returned to his seat and looked across at Peachy. He smiled. Although she was slightly late, she still attended.
He greeted everyone and had yet to start any conversations when Saints started to come over with glasses in their hands.
Qin Yu from the Peach Garden was now extremely famous in the Vast Brightness. It was to the point that Saints would put aside their identities and initiate kindness.
But ultimately, they were still Saints and it was sufficient to let their intentions be known. Most exchanged a few polite greetings and ended with a clink of their glasses.
But even so, Qin Yu ended up drinking quite a bit. When all the Saints finished greeting him, he leaned towards Lei Xiaoyu to say something. He then nodded to the rest before standing up to take his leave.
Elder apprentice brother was waiting for him in the back hall.
As one of the peak Holy Lands of the Vast Brightness World, the Peach Garden certainly wasn’t composed of just a few simple scattered courtyards. For communicating with the outside or holding certain grand ceremonies, there were structures with an atmosphere of magnificence.
“Congratulations elder apprentice brother!” Qin Yu smiled from afar as he put his hands together.
Elder apprentice brother was smiling; he was clearly in a good mood and he looked warm and satisfied, “It is all thanks to you that I am able to be with Thousand Faces here today.”
As he said this, he bowed respectfully.
Qin Yu did not avoid this and accepted his bow. He coughed lightly, “You greeted me and now it is my turn.”
He bowed, “I will have to trouble you with Peachy from now.”
Elder apprentice brother looked at him and suddenly sighed, “When are you leaving?”
Qin Yu raised his brows, “How do you know?”
“When it comes to cultivation level, I am far from you. However, I have lived longer than you and am quite sensitive when it comes to reading people. If not for you leaving, why would you have expended so much effort making this wedding so grand?” He paused and smiled, “Here, I have to thank you. Your seventh apprentice sister is very pleased with this ceremony.”
Of course she was satisfied. There had never been such a grand wedding in the Vast Brightness World.
With these qualities, Saints came from all around the world personally. This was all because of the effort Qin Yu put in behind the scenes. No one dared to ignore Mister Ninth from the Peach Garden and naturally showed him face.
Although Qin Yu tried to hide this, it was extremely difficult to hide it from elder apprentice brother.
Qin Yu laughed, “As long as seventh apprentice sister is satisfied.”
They mutually understood each other and did not say much more. Elder apprentice brother then said, “How long will you be away for this time?”
Qin Yu replied, “I am not sure, but I think it will be a while…” Thinking, he spoke vaguely, “I created some trouble earlier on and have to settle it.”
Since he was going to enter the Desolate Area, the West Desolate and the other group would interact, and if they had a chance they would try to settle.
When it came to this, elder apprentice brother knew a bit about it. He knew that his junior was about to go to another world and he looked serious.
“Be careful and take care of yourself.”
Qin Yu greeted, “Thank you elder apprentice brother. Don’t worry, I am very scared of dying and will definitely protect myself.”
Both of them laughed.
Elder apprentice brother seemed to contemplate and looked ready to say something. Qin Yu was not in a rush and took a cup of tea to drink.
Woo, sure enough, he preferred hot tea. Peachy’s personality was too cold. Although this had something to do with her current situation, she should still find a way to warm up.
Before he left, he had told Lei Xiaoyu to go over and visit Peachy when she was free. This should help.
Elder apprentice brother was ready and coughed lightly, “Junior-apprentice brother, now that you are a Saint and have reached the shore, you should select a Dao Domain.”
Qin Yu’s eyes flashed, “A Dao Domain?”
He sounded confused.
Elder apprentice brother shook his head, “You break through realms very quickly but when it comes to basic knowledge on cultivation, you are lacking. You have to improve in this area.”
He reminded Qin Yu before the corners of his mouth pulled up, “In the ceremony today, you must have noticed the way the other Saints were watching their words. It seems like our interaction today made them feel uneasy.”
Qin Yu replied, “What has this got to do with a Dao Domain?”
Elder apprentice brother said, “Having two True Saints under the same roof is extremely rare. It is not that it has never happened in the Vast Brightness World. But have you thought about why this kind of situation has not existed in the Peach Garden?”
Elder apprentice brother was wrong. There were many of this kind of situations and it did not stop at just two True Saints. Qin Yu was thinking of the World of Darkness. But he knew that the West Desolate had interfered and created this area of eternal night through human means. It could not be considered as normal and be compared.
So Qin Yu only nodded, “Elder apprentice brother, please explain?”
Elder apprentice brother said, “This involves the Dao Domain.” He stood up and took a few steps. Lifting his hand, he drew a circle in the air. “How do I say this? Strictly speaking, a Dao Domain is the continuation of a True Saint’s Great Dao. After instilling one’s Great Dao, it creates a domain. Within this domain, a True Saint’s prowess is higher and they can perceive everything.”
Seeing Qin Yu nod in understanding, elder apprentice brother continued, “But a Dao Domain can only have one center. If two Saints exist in the same area and their domains intersect, it does not benefit either party. It is because of this that whenever ‘two Saints are under the same roof’, one Saint would very quickly become independent. This is the best choice for both.
Moreover, a Dao Domain isn’t just a way to increase your own strength. It could be called the home field of a True Saint, but more than that, it involves the direction of your future cultivation…that is, the path that leads to a Ruler!
At this moment, elder apprentice brother’s eyes were dignified and he looked extremely serious.
True Saints at the shore had reached the peak of this world. To go further would be extraordinary and would near ‘god’.
This ‘god’ had nothing to do with cultivation realms. It was a general term that represented a powerful and incomparable strength and omnipotent power.
Rulers were in it.
Qin Yu frowned slightly and subconsciously straightened. He had recently experienced a Ruler’s battle in the small world where Dragon Abyss Town was. Although this experience was severely limited because he had been sealed by it, the remnant aura, the destruction, and how the Void Creatures had absorbed the small world fragment was enough to show how horrifying the battle had been.
Qin Yu had always been in awe but the feelings were much more intense now.
A Dao Domain mattered in his journey to become a Ruler. Just this point was enough to show how important it was.
Qin Yu was taking the True God Path. There was no precedent before him and his future was uncertain. Even if this road really worked, it was still unknown whether Qin Yu could pass it smoothly.
So having another route to achieving a Ruler’s Great Dao as an alternative was very important!
Qin Yu said, “Thank you elder apprentice brother for the reminder; I will pay more attention to Dao Domains.”
Elder apprentice brother responded, “Master died suddenly and you improved extremely fast. When it comes to this basic knowledge, it is natural that I should be the one telling you.”
He took out a jade slip, “I prepared some information regarding building a Dao Domain and how it works. Junior-apprentice brother, you have to read this carefully and remember it.”
Elder apprentice brother looked impressively, “With how much you contributed to the Peach Garden, you should inherit Master’s Dao Domain and reduce the trouble of creating one. You may even get some of Master’s inheritance. But…you are about to leave and I have to…”
He got cut off by Qin Yu, “Elder apprentice brother, there is no need to explain. I understand. the Peach Garden will be under your protection in the upcoming days and naturally, you should inherit Master’s Dao Domain.”
Elder apprentice brother chuckled bitterly, “But you still have to know that building a Dao Domain is not easy. You will need helpers.”
Qin Yu nodded and could not help but frown. Everyone in the Peach Garden was now working hard on cultivating in isolation. If not for elder apprentice brother’s marriage, they would not have come out. Asking them for help to build a Dao Domain was not appropriate.
Moreover, Qin Yu had no idea when he had to leave. With him, the main power not around, how would they build the Dao Domain…this was difficult.
At this moment, there was a message from outside the hall. Some people were looking for Qin Yu.
Hearing these people’s names, Qin Yu’s eyes lit up as he smiled, “Let them in.” He turned to look at elder apprentice brother, “Although there may still be issues, the thing about helpers can be resolved.”
The doors to the hall opened, Soaring Sky, Rice Paper, Ruan Jing and Zhou Lei entered. They quickly walked to greet him, “Greetings Saints.”
Elder apprentice brother did not know what he meant and hence did not interfere. He just smiled and remained seated.
Qin Yu waved his hand, “Please be at ease.”
He looked at them and said, “I don’t recall seeing your names on the guest list.”
Soaring Sky bowed, “You have good memory. We indeed came without being invited. Please take us in!”
As he said this, he then kneeled first.
The other three followed along and kneeled.
The corners of Qin Yu’s mouth turned up and he coughed lightly, “Why? Are you scared?”
Zhou Lei had always been simple and honest as he nodded. But as soon as he realized his reaction, he blushed.
Seeing that he had already directly pointed out, Rice Paper looked up cautiously. It was as if she gained a slight comfort from seeing something in Qin Yu’s expression as she steeled herself and said softly, “You are very wise. We offended the World of Darkness and the Mysterious Clan. With what happened to the Transcendent Sword Sect, we don’t dare to take chances. Now, only by following you will we get a chance of survival. Please be merciful and take us in.”
Look how well she could talk.
Qin Yu sneered, “You are focusing all the troubles on me and want me to protect you? If I am not wrong, before you came here you must all have thought of ways to separate yourselves from your existing clans, right?
This was referring to their hearts and his tone was extremely cold. The four of their expressions changed but they did not dare to argue.
They could only bow and keep their heads down like ostriches in the sand, leaving the final decision in Qin Yu’s hands.
“Hmph! If not for the fact that I need help, I would have ignored you. Stand up!”
This meant…he agreed?
The four of them were delighted and bowed to thank him. They then stood up to stand by the side; their faces were bright with joy that they could not contain.
Actually, aside from what they said and what Qin Yu added, there was a third reason.
They wanted to go with the super power!
Now in the Vast Brightness World, everyone knew that Mister Ninth from the Peach Garden was powerful. Although it was as Qin Yu had said: they all had found a way to cut ties with their existing clans and became abandoned disciples.
But abandoned disciples were still disciples. And now, they were all under Qin Yu’s wing; who knew if there was some trick here?
So in the future, whoever wanted to bother their clans would have to think twice. With the change in the Vast Brightness World, this was obviously especially important when a catastrophe was sweeping the world and no one could stay out of it.
Seeing this happen in front of him, elder apprentice brother understood what Qin Yu said. He could not help but smile and think of how lucky his junior-apprentice brother was. The problem that he had was so quickly solved.
“Congratulations junior-apprentice brother for getting four Half-Saints under you. With a stable foundation, your future will be much easier.”
Elder apprentice brother knew everything and Qin Yu could not pretend otherwise, so he just smiled.
His eyes flashed as Qin Yu understood elder apprentice brother’s meaning. He thought about it, “Since I want their help, I cannot hide from them. I believe the four of them will also not go around telling others.”
Although they did not know what the two Saints were talking about, the meaning was clear.
Soaring Sky immediately said, “Please rest assured, now that we are under your wing, we will protect all your secrets and not let any of it slip.”
Qin Yu snorted but did not say more. This actually made the four of them look tense.
Elder apprentice brother smiled, “When are you leaving?”
Qin Yu replied, “Today.” He explained, “If not for attending your wedding, I am afraid that I would not have waited until now.”
After all, that woman could call for him at any time. Before that, he had many things to settle.
Elder apprentice brother sighed, “That thing….”
Qin Yu shook his head, “Don’t mention it. To others, just say I am isolating. With my current cultivation, I am qualified to try for the Ruler seat. It is understandable for me to isolate for some time.”
Elder apprentice brother slowly nodded, “Okay! But you can’t leave immediately. After all the guests leave, let’s have a good drink with the other the Peach Garden disciples.”
Qin Yu smiled and nodded, “Then today, I will drink with all of you.”
