Chapter 161: 7 episodes 14 Chapters Congratulations from All Directions

The entire Star Pavilion was laid out according to the Complete Heaven Star Formation, not only was nature’s spiritual energy floating everywhere, but even the radiance of the sun, moon, and stars gathered at the Star Pavilion, with the most dazzling spot at the very center of the Star Pavilion — the Sun and Moon Hall.

The Sun and Moon Hall was the place where all the protectors, guard captains, and team captains would meet the three Pavilion Masters.

The Sun and Moon Hall had no roof, and by looking up, one could see countless stars hanging high. Above the hall, behind the thrones of the three Pavilion Masters, the radiance of the sun and the moon shone even brighter. Stepping into the Sun and Moon Hall was like entering a different realm, wonderfully extraordinary.

The Star Pavilion had been completed almost two years ago, and in the past two years, it had fully entered its normal operational trajectory. Uncle Lan, Miss Li’er, Yan Zi, and a group of others often came to the Star Pavilion for leisure, and Qin Yu was happy to host them.

At this moment, inside the Sun and Moon Hall of the Star Pavilion.

Above the hall, Qin Yu sat in the central position, with Hou Fei and Hei Yu sitting on either side, behind them was the radiance of the sun and moon gathered by the ’Complete Heaven Star Formation’. The radiance soared into the sky, giving the three Pavilion Masters an overwhelming sense of authority.

The eight guardians, thirty guard captain, and three hundred guard team captains all stood in two orderly rows above the hall.

Qin Yu always believed that this Sun and Moon Hall, compared to the Imperial Palace’s main hall on the Hidden Dragon Continent, was even more luxurious as well as more imposing, with stars as the ceiling and the sun and moon as curtains, spiritual energy and mist swirling inside the hall, making all the subordinates appear like Immortals.

"Greetings to the Pavilion Master, Second Pavilion Master, and Third Pavilion Master,"

More than three hundred people bowed and said respectfully, their voices filling the hall.

Having said this, all the subordinates respectfully awaited Qin Yu’s orders. The eight guardians and the thirty guard captains had particularly fervent gazes because today was the grand day to choose the chief steward of the Star Pavilion.

The chief steward of the Star Pavilion generally managed all sizeable affairs, its position only second to the three Pavilion Masters, even above the eight guardians.

Logically, it was about time to select someone for the position of chief steward. Hou Fei always liked managing people and had been doing so for two years; Qin Yu was aware of Hou Fei’s temperament. Sure enough, after having his fill, Hou Fei grew tired of dealing with those trifling matters.

So, it was time to select the chief steward.

The chief steward needed to be capable and not low in Cultivation. After all, he would be the figure only second to the Pavilion Masters, so the candidates were set among the eight guardians and the thirty guard captains.

"Pavilion Master, last time you mentioned selecting a chief steward, I wonder if you have an answer now?"

The guardian on the left side stepped to the center and bowed. This guardian, currently the head of the eight guardians of the Star Pavilion, Yan Rui, had transformed into a female form. Her Cultivation was incredibly high, already reaching the Late-stage Cave Void.

Hearing Yan Rui’s words, the other guardians and the thirty guard captains all eagerly awaited Qin Yu’s response.

Qin Yu simply sat at the central seat, clad in a black robe. In fact, the subordinates of the Star Pavilion had prepared extremely luxurious attire for Qin Yu, yet he preferred the clothes ’Lei Wei’, his master, had refined back in the day.

Lei Wei refined the robe, and though it looked simple, it was actually much more comfortable than the luxurious garments contributed by the subordinates of the Star Pavilion. It was gold-lined.

"Guardian Yan Rui, please be patient, my brothers and I have already come to a decision. Now, let the Second Pavilion Master reveal the answer to you." Qin Yu said with a smile, looking at Hou Fei, and immediately, over three hundred gazes turned towards Hou Fei.

Hou Fei grinned, showing his teeth, "This chief steward of Star Pavilion is naturally very important. Thus, after our thorough selection, cough, I will now announce the person chosen."

Qin Yu smiled.

Unexpectedly, Hou Fei still enjoyed leaving people in suspense.

The Eight Guardians and thirty Guard Captains all looked towards Hou Fei, as one of them might soon become the chief administrator below the Three Pavilion Masters. The chief administrator generally managed all manner of things, and such a lucrative position came with many advantages.

"Gaga, this chief administrator is... Zhuang Zhong."

Finally, Hou Fei announced the answer.

Zhuang Zhong could not hold back his excitement and immediately went to the center, knelt on one knee, and said, "Thanks to the grace of the Three Pavilion Masters, I will manage the affairs of the Star Pavilion well and definitely will not disappoint the Three Pavilion Masters." Zhuang Zhong spoke with vigor, unable to conceal his excitement.

As a Guard Captain, his power was not small, but now he had leapt over the Eight Guardians to become the chief administrator, second only to the Pavilion Masters—how could Zhuang Zhong not be thrilled?

This was not just any chief administrator; this was the administrator of the Star Pavilion, on the same level as those of the Green Dragon Palace, Bishui Mansion, and Nine Evil Hall. His power was significantly greater, and indeed, Zhuang Zhong now held a high and influential position.

"Alright, from today, Zhuang Zhong will begin serving as this chief administrator," Qin Yu directly said, "Six months from now will be the opening day of our Star Pavilion, when people from the Penglai Immortal Domain, Purple Flame Demon Prison, Green Dragon Palace, Bishui Mansion, and Nine Evil Hall will all come to congratulate us. So..."

At Qin Yu’s words, the people below all turned their attention fully to this matter.

The opening of the Star Pavilion, such a major event, due to the high status of the Star Pavilion, meant that the event would shake the entire Overseas Cultivation World. Powers from various sides would come to congratulate, making it a grand gathering of masters from the Overseas Cultivation World.

"Zhuang Zhong, you start preparing immediately. There are still many residences at the Star Pavilion, and you must let the other five parties feel our Star Pavilion’s magnanimity. Also, prepare for the grand feast on the day of the opening in advance. This is your first task as chief administrator."

Qin Yu looked at Zhuang Zhong, having no doubt about Zhuang Zhong’s talents, and given that Zhuang Zhong had been with Qin Yu for a long time, he had appointed him as the chief administrator.

"Yes, I certainly will not disappoint the Pavilion Master."

Zhuang Zhong’s voice was sonorous and powerful, his gaze sharp and resolute. Seeing this, a satisfied smile appeared on Qin Yu’s face.

"Gaga, Zhuang Zhong, I will often come to inspect, and if I find you have done something excessive, don’t blame me," Hou Fei said with a sinister laugh, and Zhuang Zhong smiled, assuring him without taking Hou Fei’s words to heart.

Though Hou Fei had his fun placing the chief administrator in charge of managing the affairs of the Star Pavilion, who knew when he might feel impatient and come to investigate further?

In reality, Zhuang Zhong, as the chief administrator, still had to be extremely cautious.

"Alright then, if there is nothing else, everyone is dismissed."

Qin Yu waved his robe and left the grand hall, while Hei Yu, who had been resting with closed eyes, suddenly opened them, his gaze terribly sharp. Even Yan Rui, who was in the Late-stage Cave Void, felt terrified by Hei Yu’s gaze.

It wasn’t just because of the sharpness of Hei Yu’s gaze, but because it seemed to devour one’s soul.

Since quietly cultivating in the ’Complete Heaven Star Formation’, Hei Yu had once again stepped forward, reaching the Nascent Soul Late Stage. Even Hou Fei acknowledged that he was unsure if he could defeat Hei Yu at this stage.

If Hou Fei represented ferocity and brutality, then Hei Yu was coldness and darkness!

With a flicker of his figure, Hei Yu also vanished from the grand hall. Now at the Nascent Soul Late Stage, Hei Yu’s speed was indeed not inferior to Qin Yu’s.

Qin Yu and Hou Fei had both reached the pinnacle of the Nascent Soul Late Stage. At the peak, it was no longer possible to break through by just absorbing more power; now, they were quietly waiting—waiting for the arrival of the ’Sixty-nine Heavenly Tribulations’, possibly realizing when the Heavenly Tribulations would come at any moment.

Having left the grand hall, Qin Yu walked along little bridges over streams, through pavilions and towers, and along multiple corridors until he finally arrived at a pavilion shrouded in clouds; this was exactly where Miss Li’er resided.

Yan Zi and Little Jin were playing in the lake next to the pavilion.

"Big Brother Qin Yu, you’ve come, certainly to see Sister Li’er, right? Sister Li’er is fishing over there," Yan Zi said with a smile. Little Jin also blinked twice at Qin Yu, then gestured toward Miss Li’er.

"You two little girls."

With a smile, Qin Yu stepped directly onto the rippling water, reaching the central pavilion on the lake.

The Star Pavilion was built; there was no need to enforce any restriction, as the Complete Heaven Star Formation naturally repelled water. Inside the Star Pavilion, it was completely like a new space.

Li’er’s long hair was slightly restrained with a hair tie, and she was dressed in white. Only her waist was tightly cinched by a white hair tie, outlining her captivating curves. Qin Yu stood inside the pavilion, watching Li’er, who was sitting at the edge of the pavilion, focused on fishing.

"Qin Yu, what are you looking at?" Li’er turned around and asked with a smile, a smile that brightened Qin Yu’s eyes.

"Watching you fish," Qin Yu said, smiling as he sat down beside Li’er.

Qin Yu always felt that Li’er seemed to isolate herself from the world. Even though she was warm and friendly to Yan Zi and others, it was only superficial. Only when she was with him could she break through that barrier.

"Li’er, you have never talked to me about your father and mother. Could you tell me about them?" Qin Yu asked with a smile.

Li’er was startled, unusually pensive for a moment, then nodded and said, "My father holds a high position, always competing with others for status and power. Therefore, he didn’t spend much time with me." Sadness flickered in Li’er’s eyes.

A tremor passed through Qin Yu’s heart, suddenly making it surge.

Was he not the same?

Qin Yu struggled to suppress his turbulent emotions, then said, "It seems your father is an important figure."

Li’er nodded, "Yes, an important figure. Many people I saw from childhood revered and feared my father so much that no one dared to oppose him. But there were other important figures too, competing and even fighting with each other. I got tired of it and left home with Uncle Lan to wander outside." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"Perhaps it’s because you are a girl. I am a boy, and my experience is much like yours. My father is a prince of the Chu Dynasty on the Hidden Dragon Continent. He is bent on revenge and fulfilling the expectations of our ancestors spanning hundreds of years. He devoted himself to teaching my elder and second brothers, but paid no attention to me, his third son who excelled neither in scholarship nor martial arts. Unlike you, I never tired of that; instead, I trained hard, trying to do something useful for my father."

Qin Yu reflected sadly. Many years had passed, and now looking back, Qin Yu felt as if he had experienced a sea change.

He vaguely saw that child who, during the scorching summers and cold winters, constantly ran with weights and constantly practiced the Iron Sand Palm by thrusting his fingers into gravel...

"Girls," Li’er said with a hint of firmness in her eyes, "No, initially I was like you, wanting to help my father, but then... something happened that disheartened me and Uncle Lan too." Pain was all that showed in Li’er’s eyes.

Qin Yu looked at Li’er at that moment, not knowing exactly what experiences she had undergone, but he knew that whatever it was, it had been severe.

"Oh, the fish has taken the bait."

Suddenly, Li’er’s eyes lit up, the fishing rod was pulled in, and a large fish weighing about five or six pounds was caught.

Miss Li’er, who was just immersed in her painful memories, now showed a face full of smiles excitedly because she had caught a fish. It was as if she had completely forgotten about what had happened just moments ago.

"Qin Yu, has your skill in chess improved? Do you want to play Go or chess? If it’s chess, I’ll give you a chariot, a horse, and a cannon each, and if it’s Go, I’ll let you have four stones," Miss Li’er teased as she looked at Qin Yu. With a wave of her hand, two chessboards appeared.

"Uh, chess, Go? This, this..."

The previously composed Qin Yu was now visibly nervous.

Playing chess with Miss Li’er was like heading to a massacre. In chess, she would allow a chariot, a horse, and a cannon each, and in Go, four stones, yet even then, he was always disastrously defeated. It wasn’t that his skills were lacking, but Miss Li’er’s strength was ridiculously strong.

Qin Yu was certain that even if his father, Qin De, and the military strategist, Xu Yuan, were each allowed four stones in Go, they still wouldn’t stand a chance against her.

Over the vast ocean, suddenly, clouds of auspiciousness drifted over, bearing dozens of Cultivators. Leading them was the number one person from Penglai Immortal Domain—True Master Yan Xu. This group was headed to the Star Pavilion.

The day to open the Star Pavilion was drawing near. From Penglai Immortal Domain and Purple Flame Demon Prison, each place was extremely far from the Star Pavilion, and even by flying it would take nearly a year. Naturally, everyone had to arrive early, which was why Qin Yu had initially mentioned opening in three years.

Leading the charge was True Master Yan Xu, flanked on one side by a young man with fiery red long hair, and on the other by a handsome young man with flowing white hair.

"True Master Yan Xu, the Star Pavilion is just a power held by Undersea Demon Cultivators. Although it’s said to have Independent Immortals backing it, having us visit his residence is really..." The young man with fiery red hair spoke with a hint of disdain.

Most Cultivators look down on the residences of Demon Cultivators, considering them in poor taste.

"True Master Huo Tian, the Demon Cultivators inherently have lower tastes in architecture, only capable of constructing palaces. They can’t compare to the blessed lands of our Immortal homes. But there’s no doubt that Demon Cultivators are formidable in strength, and architecture is merely an appearance. What’s most important is strong power," said the young man with white hair.

The fiery red-haired young man frowned and said, "True Master Huo Tian, I was only criticizing the Demon Cultivators’ architecture, not their strength. Staying in such a place really makes me uncomfortable."

"True Master Huo Tian, True Master Di Feng, you haven’t even seen the Star Pavilion yet, so there’s no need for random critiques," said True Master Yan Xu calmly.

However, although True Master Yan Xu said this, he himself looked down on the residences of the Demon Cultivators as well.

For both Cultivators and Demon Cultivators, they clearly had every right to look down upon Demon Cultivators when it came to the craftsmanship involved in Refining, Alchemy, and constructing residences. The Cultivators began discussing among themselves about how poor the residences of the Demon Cultivators were.

"We’ve arrived at the Star Pavilion," suddenly announced True Master Yan Xu.

At once, all the Cultivators ceased their conversations. Despite True Master Huo Tian and True Master Di Feng appearing young, they were actually about the same age as True Master Yan Xu. Both were Great Elders of the Purple Sun Sect and Lanyang Sect respectively.

True Master Yan Xu, True Master Huo Tian, and True Master Di Feng were the de facto rulers of the Penglai Immortal Domain.

The group of several dozen Cultivators flew toward the sea. Wherever they passed, the sea water parted easily, not even touching their bodies, automatically creating a pathway. These Cultivators quickly flew directly towards the Star Pavilion.
