Considering that prior knowledge suggested that among the myriad worlds, prodigies under five hundred years old were generally below the Celestial God level.
Moreover, geniuses from the top-tier Level Nine Great Worlds and other Level Eight Great Worlds would likely not be present.
If he, a Celestial God, were to participate, he would undoubtedly be shockingly unconventional, completely dominating the competition.
Qian Qingning smiled and said, "That's true. Given your situation, participating would indeed cause quite a bit of trouble."
She knew that he was ranked first on the Great World Talent List, and exposing his identity externally would inevitably attract great danger.
Ye Yun nodded and said, "Therefore, I won't join the fray. Let Xueyan and the others have their fun."
"Mmm, then I wish Star Lord Ye success, and for your disciples to amaze everyone."
"I hope so."
Ye Yun smiled faintly, but whether they could achieve good results depended on how much their strength improved in the coming period.
With their current cultivation below the Spiritual God level, it was clearly impossible to stand out in the Myriad Worlds Selection where Star Gods were as common as blades of grass.
Afterward, Ye Yun accompanied Qian Qingning to collect the eight hundred divine crystals mentioned earlier.
Outside the Lingluo Domain, in the void.
Ye Yun found his disciples and his wife Xingwu, who were waiting there.
"You said you wanted to ask her something. Did you find out what you needed?"
Seeing him return, Xingwu stepped forward and asked.
Ye Yun nodded with satisfaction and said, "Mmm, this time the harvest was quite substantial!"
With that, he raised his hand and presented a small storage bag, placing it before Xingwu.
"Oh, right, you should take this. You might need it in the future when you're setting up formations or for other occasions."
"Uh, what is this?"
Xingwu glanced at the contents of the storage bag, her expression somewhat strange.
Ye Yun smiled and explained, "These are divine crystals, a form of extremely potent energy material. I obtained a lot from Lord Qian just now, so I thought I'd give you some."
"Divine crystals?"
Xingwu took out one. It was a blue, prismatic crystal.
After examining it in her hand, she said in surprise.
"Such pure power, quite interesting..."
"Yes, perhaps you'll find a use for them in the future."
"This kind of thing is indeed very useful. Then I won't stand on ceremony."
Xingwu accepted them without refusal, readily taking them.
Meanwhile, a system notification sounded in Ye Yun's ear.
[You have bestowed upon your beloved consort eight hundred and two divine crystals. Congratulations on activating the ninety-thousand-times return! You have obtained seventy-two million one hundred and eighty thousand divine crystals!]
This return rate was not particularly outrageous compared to the returns on divine artifacts previously.
However, the instantaneous acquisition of tens of millions of divine crystals still made Ye Yun feel momentarily dazed.
Not bad, not bad. With so many divine crystals, he could finally let the Qingyun cruise freely!
"Master, can we set off now?"
Fang Zhiwei poked her head out from the starship in the distance and asked.
According to the star map, they were a full three billion light-years away from their destination, the Tianlan Domain.
Compared to that, the few thousand light-years between the Lingluo Domain and the Tianyu Domain were practically next door.
Even with spatial jump propulsion, traversing thirty billion light-years would require a considerable amount of time on the road.
However, the Myriad Worlds Selection was only three months away, so time was rather tight.
Hearing this, Ye Yun smiled and said.
"No rush. Before that, your master has a grand treasure that I can show you all."
"A grand treasure? What is it?"
Fang Zhiwei and the others looked puzzled.
Then, Ye Yun moved to a nearby spot.
"Come out, Qingyun!"
As his voice fell, the magnificent and imposing Qingyun appeared directly in the void.
Its incredibly vast hull exuded an oppressive aura when viewed up close.
Compared to it, even the Divine River ship from back then seemed like a small boat.
Looking at the grand, colossal starship, the women were instantly stunned.
Lin Xueyan couldn't help but exclaim.
"Wow, Master, it's so big!"
This starship had truly broadened her horizons.
This time, even Song Ziyue, who usually aimed to keep a low profile, was genuinely shocked.
Her beautiful eyes were fixed on the starship, and she couldn't help but marvel inwardly.
"What a formidable starship. Did this guy raid a Level Nine Great World?"
From the outside, this starship might just appear relatively large.
But as a seasoned Main God, she had had the fortune to witness the advanced starships of Level Nine Great Worlds.
This current starship, even if placed in a Level Nine Great World, would likely be considered a flagship of that caliber.
The question was, where did this Ye Yun get such a top-tier starship from?
"No need for extra questions. Let's all go aboard and experience it."
Ye Yun's words silenced the women, who were full of curiosity and eager to probe further.
Then, he opened the ship's large door, and everyone rushed inside.
After several inspections, they were all amazed by the various functions of the Qingyun.
This was not just a starship; it was practically a small planet capable of independent existence outside the world!
Ye Yun then proceeded to fill it with the divine crystals needed to power it up.
At this point, Tier, the ship's AI whom they had seen at first, reappeared in the cockpit.
Ye Yun immediately issued the command.
"Can it be activated now?"
"Yes, preparing to engage the multi-stage continuous jump drive..."
Simultaneously, on the exterior surface of the Qingyun, blue lights began to glow all over.
The women inside watched this scene with great novelty.
As the blue light outside the ship intensified, the Qingyun vanished instantly, traversing distorted space towards another location.
Inside the cockpit, Ye Yun was also astonished by the terrifying speed. He then continued to research the Qingyun's various functions.
Song Ziyue, meanwhile, often wandered around the ship's interior. The more she saw, the more her heart was filled with trepidation.
"It truly is Level Nine Great World technology. How did Ye Yun manage this?"
She couldn't figure it out no matter how hard she tried, and she even felt a slight urge to capture him and interrogate him.
Compared to her bewilderment, the others were much more relaxed.
Although the Qingyun was very fast, three billion light-years still required a long time. During this period, Lin Xueyan and the others' curiosity about the Qingyun gradually faded, and they went back to doing what they usually did.
One day, in the rest area, Lin Xueyan, as usual, went to Fang Zhiwei to borrow some interesting books.
"Junior Sister, are there any good books lately?"
"This one? Lately, I've been reading this. It's about a master-disciple romance."
Fang Zhiwei held up the book in her hand and sighed.
"However, recently, the mortal who wrote it seems to have contracted a new plague called 'Crown New.' They say they feel like they're about to die. The last time I wanted to read it, it was on hiatus."
"Ah, when will it get better?"
"This... it seems like it will be better tomorrow."
"That's great! Give me a copy too."
"Mmm, mmm!"
Fang Zhiwei nodded and was about to hand over the copy she used for preaching to Lin Xueyan.
Just then, a pair of large hands quietly reached out from the side and took the book she was handing over. It was Ye Yun, who had appeared out of nowhere.
"Zhiwei, are you showing Senior Sister something bad again?"
