Under the guidance of the Shenqiong Domain guards, Ye Yun quickly entered the inner world. Everything inside was as full of "mystical" grandeur as it appeared from the outside.
To be honest, purely in terms of scenery, this was what a true immortal realm should look like...
Amusingly, on the way to the Wind and Snow Mountain Pavilion, Ye Yun encountered an acquaintance.
"Yo, looks like we're fated to meet again."
Ye Yun smiled and proactively greeted the passing figure.
The other party was initially stunned, but upon seeing Ye Yun's appearance, his face instantly darkened.
This person was none other than Ye Changshan, who had suffered a setback in the Tianlan Domain not long ago.
Ye Yun smiled faintly and said,
"How have you been lately? How does it compare to your time in the Tianlan Domain?"
Unexpectedly running into Ye Yun in the Shenqiong Domain, Ye Changshan snorted when Ye Yun mentioned the past.
"Of course, our Shenqiong Domain is naturally better than your Tianlan Domain."
"Is that so?"
Ye Yun chuckled, "Then when our Tianlan Domain develops, should we invite you over for a visit again?"
Clearly, Ye Changshan would never return to that place that brought him sorrow, no matter what.
He directly waved his sleeve and said sternly, "No need. Also, I have matters to attend to, so I shall take my leave."
With that, he left without looking back, his speed significantly faster than when they had first met.
It was evident that he harbored some psychological trauma from Ye Yun, fearing that staying here any longer might lead to further misfortune.
Ye Yun shrugged, unconcerned, and turned to the guard beside him.
"Alright, please continue leading the way."
The so-called Wind and Snow Mountain Pavilion was somewhat beyond Ye Yun's expectations. He had initially assumed it was just a name.
However, in reality, led by the guard, they had indeed arrived at a majestic snow-capped mountain within the Shenqiong Domain, covered in white. (Imagine the Dragon's Back Snow Mountain here...)
Here, wind and snow constantly fell in heavy flurries, and even Ye Yun could feel a slight chill.
At the very peak of this snow mountain sat a courtyard, built right on the edge of a cliff. From here, one could overlook the entire snowfield and the vast landscape in the distance.
Curiously, as they approached the courtyard, the desolate cold wind vanished, replaced by a warm heat.
"They truly know how to enjoy themselves..."
Ye Yun mused, his thoughts already on the upcoming meeting.
Given the arrogant demeanor of the cultivators he had met from the Shenqiong Domain, he suspected Shen Qing would be no different.
It was entirely possible that she might bring up the matter of Ye Changshan and his disciple.
If possible, he preferred not to escalate any major conflict with the Shenqiong Domain at this juncture.
"Well, let's take it one step at a time. If need be, I'll find my own way..."
He then followed the guard into the courtyard. It was open on all sides, truly a grand pavilion situated atop a mountain peak.
In the center of the pavilion, a tea table was laid out with several cups of steaming hot tea. Amidst the snow-covered mountain, it presented a rather elegant scene.
Seated at one side of the tea table was a woman dressed in simple, elegant attire. Yet, even so, it could not conceal her exquisite beauty and a unique aura.
However, it was truly difficult to imagine that this unassuming woman was the most powerful being in the Great Thousand World...
"Star Lord, Star Lord Ye Yun has arrived."
The guard announced, and the woman nodded slowly.
"Very well, you may leave."
"As you command!"
The guard repeatedly agreed, then bowed to Ye Yun before flying away.
Shen Qing glanced at Ye Yun and smiled faintly.
"Star Lord Luo, please."
Ye Yun did not stand on ceremony, walking directly along the pavilion to the tea table and taking a seat opposite her. He looked around and sighed.
"I truly never imagined that you, the strongest in the Great Thousand World, would have such leisure and elegance."
"As we live in this world, is it not for the sake of living?"
Shen Qing's words surprised Ye Yun. As she poured him tea, she chuckled.
"I have heard of you for a long time. I didn't expect you to be so much younger than I imagined; it's quite incredible."
She could tell at a glance that Ye Yun was only around thirty years old. At such an age, let alone for a Creator God Lord, even for a Heavenly God, it was somewhat unbelievable.
"Well, perhaps it's my luck and talent."
Ye Yun shrugged and casually took a sip of tea. To be honest, the tea from the Shenqiong Domain was quite good.
After a sip, he looked at Shen Qing and said with a hint of surprise.
"Speaking of which, I originally thought that as the strongest Creator God, you would be quite arrogant. To see you like this now is quite unexpected."
After all, those beneath her acted as if they were looking down on everyone, and he assumed their leader would be similar. However, the reality was somewhat beyond his imagination.
Shen Qing also took a sip of tea and smiled.
"We are all seekers of the Way; there is no inherent hierarchy. What is there to be arrogant about?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, if only those people in your Shenqiong Domain could have your mindset."
Ye Yun shook his head, somewhat puzzled. How could someone like Shen Qing have produced such arrogant individuals? Was it simply because they were ranked first that they were so proud?
Shen Qing sighed softly.
"It can't be helped. Although my cultivation is slightly higher than theirs, I cannot control people's hearts. You will understand this in time."
Ye Yun understood her meaning; she was reminding him that the Myriad Worlds Alliance might also have arrogant individuals in the future.
However, Ye Yun had not experienced this before and could not offer any concrete opinions. He simply waved his hand.
"Alright, I'm not here to discuss these matters with you. Let's get down to business first."
Unexpectedly, Shen Qing then said,
"You are here regarding the Netherworld Realm and the Ancient Demon Clan, aren't you?"
Ye Yun was surprised that she knew.
"You know about this?"
"I have lived a bit longer than most and have learned about some related matters."
Shen Qing took a sip of tea and continued.
"Moreover, not long ago, I discovered several spatial rifts nearby. I specifically apprehended some individuals and questioned them. After using some methods, I obtained some intelligence."
"Oh? Can you tell me what intelligence?"
Ye Yun's spirits immediately lifted. Lacking information about the Netherworld Realm was a significant matter for him.
Shen Qing looked at him and said, word by word.
"Firstly, the general offensive will commence in one hundred days."
