Edited by: Phillip and Robin

The Utmost North Sage Emperor’s Palace was completely engulfed by a frightening silence. Everyone felt a burst of oppression in their hearts. At the same time, they also felt an unprecedented shock.

The Utmost North Sage Emperor Jiang Fan stood up. He tried his best to make his expression appear normal. “Qin Yu, you said earlier that your Gauze Feather Blade is a first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure?”

“Precisely.” Qin Yu said in a clear voice.

At this moment, the thirteen Godkings above no longer bothered care about who it was that bestowed the Gauze Feather Blade. What they were paying attention to was... the fact that the Gauze Feather Blade was a first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure!

In the entire Divine Realm, there existed only about ten or so first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasures.

However, what about the number of Godkings? There were over thirty Godkings in the Divine Realm. Practically every single power possessed three or four Godkings.

In the entire Divine Realm, only the Eight Great Sage Emperors, the Asura Godking and a hidden Godking possessed first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasures. There might also be some first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasures that were not known to public. But even if there were, it would at the very most be one or two items.

Over twenty Godkings did not possess a first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure.

Thus, one could clearly imagine how much of an appeal the first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasures were to Godkings!

Blood Demon Queen, Yu Cha, said with a light laughter. “Qin Yu, is it truly worth to present a first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure for the daughter of the Utmost North Sage Emperor? Furthermore, this is merely the competition for the first chosen candidate spot. Even if you present this first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure, the person who would end up marrying Jiang Li in the end might still not be you. Qin Yu, it’s best for you to carefully consider this.”

“Blood Demon Queen, what sort of words are those?” Jiang Fan frowned and said.

Jiang Xing who sat on the side also humped.

The Blood Demon Queen covered her mouth and said with a laughter. “What sort of words did you all think I was speaking? Who among us doesn’t know about the preciousness of a first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure?”

The Blood Demon Queen Yu Cha looked at Qin Yu. “Qin Yu, wasn’t your purpose in marrying that Jiang Li to become a Godking? It’s simple. Just bestow that first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure to me. If you do, you shall be my husband. If the two of us were to dual train, wouldn’t the effect be even better?”

“Husband?”

Qin Yu was stunned.

The Blood Demon Queen was indeed a very alluring woman. According to Qin Yu’s knowledge, this Blood Demon Queen had never married anyone before.

The Northwest Sage Emperor Zhou Huo frowned and said. “Blood Demon Queen, are you joking here?”

“What jokes? I am extremely serious.” The Blood Demon Queen laughed softly. She then looked to Qin Yu. “Qin Yu, what do you think of my proposal?”

Qin Yu laughed dryly twice.

“Blood Demon Queen, I want to marry Li’er not because I want to become a Godking. Rather, I truly love Li’er... As for the first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure, for Li’er, how could I possibly not be willing to let go of it?” Said Qin Yu in a clear voice in the middle of the palace hall.

Right after Qin Yu’s voice landed, a loud shout was suddenly heard...

“Good!”

The Utmost North Sage Emperor Jiang Fan stood up. He had a moved expression on his face. “Qin Yu, what you had said was great. With those words that you said, if you are to be able to marry my daughter, then it would also be her blessing. Haha...”

At this moment, Jiang Fan was extremely spirited.

However, as for the other Godkings on the scene, they were mostly smiling on the outside. As to what they were actually thinking, this was hard to tell. After all, the Eight Sage Emperors of the Eight Great Sacred Lands each possessed a first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure. This was a sort of equilibrium.

And now, the Utmost North Sage Emperor’s side would obtain two first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasures. The equilibrium had been broken!

“Please wait a moment.”

Zhou Xian who stood beside Qin Yu suddenly spoke out in a clear voice. Everyone present looked toward Zhou Xian. Qin Yu also looked at Zhou Xian. He had a light smile on his face. However, he was thinking in his heart. “What does this Zhou Xian want to say?”

“Zhou Xian, is there something that you want to say?” Jiang Fan slightly frowned.

Zhou Xian nodded and said. “Uncle, if this ‘Gauze Feather Blade’ of Qin Yu’s is truly a first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure, then it would be fine. However, if it isn’t...”

“Isn’t?” Jiang Fan frowned.

“It is impossible for one to determine the quality of a Grandmist Spiritual Treasure with merely one’s eyes. Just because Qin Yu said that it is a first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure, does that mean that it is necessarily a first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure?” Zhou Xian was not willing to admit his defeat so easily.

Zhou Xian looked at Qin Yu. With anger in his heart, he said. “I do not believe that Qin Yu would be able to obtain a first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure so easily.”

Jiang Fan’s wife Chunyu Rou also also slightly nodded and said. “That’s right. Before all the judges, we must first verify that this ‘Gauze Feather Blade’ is really a first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure as Qin Yu said.”

[TL: I forgot to mention, but Chunyu Rou is, according to the fact that Zhou Xian called Jiang Fan (Uncle/mother’s sister’s husband), and Li’er, Zhou Xian’s aunt/mom’s sister.]

Jiang Fan also nodded. He then looked at Qin Yu. “Qin Yu, do you mind if we inspect it?”

“Of course you can.”

Qin Yu smiled as he looked at Jiang Fan. “As Your Majesty Utmost North Sage Emperor is the person presiding over this groom search, I would have to request Your Majesty Utmost Sage Emperor determine whether this Gauze Feather Blade is a first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure.”

Qin Yu took off the blood binding from the Gauze Feather Blade.

With an intention, the Gauze Feather Blade in his hand flew to over to the platform above. The Utmost North Sage Emperor Jiang Fan waved his hand and received the Gauze Feather Blade.

“Everyone, I shall inspect it personally. I believe everyone shouldn’t have an objection to it?” Jiang Fan looked to everyone.

Everyone was smiling to express that they had no objections. Other than Jiang Fan, who else here was more qualified to inspect the Gauze Feather Blade?

Jiang Fan smiled. He then dripped a drop of blood on the Gauze Feather Blade. Right after the blood sunk into the Gauze Feather Blade, Jiang Fan displayed a startled expression. After that, his expression turned to one of ecstasy. He looked to Qin Yu and said. “It truly is a first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure. It truly is.”

After hearing what Jiang Fan had said, the atmosphere of the palace hall had immediately changed.

Jiang Fan laughed and said. “Qin Yu’s gift is a first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure. The first chosen candidate spot shall be Qin Yu’s. I believe no one would have any objection to that?”

“No objection.” The Southwest Sage Emperor and everyone else all lightly shook their heads and said.

Zhou Xian also displayed a disappointed expression in his eyes. Having reached this point, he was at a loss as to what else he could do. Qin Yu displayed a smile on his face.

“In that case, I shall declare...” The Utmost North Sage Emperor Jiang Fan said while smiling.

“Wait.” The Utmost North Sage Emperor’s wife, Chunyu Rou, suddenly said.

[Robin: This b$tch.....]

Jiang Fan looked to the voice and saw that it was his wife. He frowned and said. “My wife, what matter do you have now?” That Chunyu Rou smiled and said. “Your Majesty, I remembered that the gift... must be something bestowed by the Exalted Celestials. Isn’t that right?”

“That’s right.” Jiang Fan nodded and said. “This Gauze Feather Blade that Qin Yu presented was bestowed to him by the Floating Feathers Exalted Celestial. It is in agreement with the prerequisite. What’s wrong?”

Chunyu Rou said indifferently. “Bestowed by the Floating Feathers Exalted Celestial? Is the Floating Feathers Exalted Celestial someone one could meet so easily? Although Qin Yu said that this weapon was bestowed to him by the Floating Feathers Exalted Celestial, is there anyone to testify for him?”

Chunyu Rou looked at Qin Yu. “Qin Yu, do you have a method to testify that this weapon was bestowed to you by the Floating Feathers Exalted Celestial? In other words... do you have the means to proof that you have encountered the Floating Feathers Exalted Celestial?”

[TL: B$tch stfu, yo husband obtained a first-rate grandmist spiritual treasure ffs. Truly an idiot. You know fully well that even if it weren’t, them Godkings wouldn’t care!]

Qin Yu was stunned.

“Proof? Me? Proof?” Qin Yu’s mind was instantly thrown into chaos.

Seeing that Qin Yu was standing there in a stunned and speechless state, Chunyu Rou lightly smiled and said. “Everyone. Although this Gauze Feather Blade is indeed a first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure, our rules say that the gift must be bestowed by the Exalted Celestials. Yet Qin Yu, we do not even know if he truly encountered the Floating Feathers Exalted Celestial.”

The entire palace hall had immediately burst into a fit of ‘buzz’ sound. Everyone started discussing with one another.

Qin Yu started to frown.

Indeed, he had no method of proving that he had encountered the Floating Feathers Exalted Celestial!

It was so much that... it was he himself who determined that those three Grandmist Spiritual Treasures were related to the Floating Feathers Exalted Celestial.

At this moment, that Zhou Xian had also grown excited. In a clear voice, he said. “Dear aunt, it is precisely as you said. When we were on the Mountain Sea Palace, not a single one of us seventeen candidates heard that Qin Yu had encountered the Floating Feathers Exalted Celestial.”

Zhou Xian’s eyes shined. He said. “It is true that this Gauze Feather Blade is a first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure. However, according to what I know, Qin Yu is the new master of the Bewitching God Temple. Everyone here also knows that the previous master of the Bewitching God Temple was the Craftsman God Chehou Yuan. The Craftsman God Chehou Yuan possessed the ability to craft first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasures. That too was something that everyone knew. I suspect... that this Gauze Feather Blade was simply not something that the Floating Feathers Exalted Celestial bestowed to Qin Yu but instead something that the Craftsman God Chehou Yuan had crafted.”

At this moment, Zhou Xian’s imposingness had completely returned.

The thirteen Godkings on the stage above had also grown silent.

Suddenly...

“Isn’t it just the Utmost North Sage Empror’s daughter? Just for marrying the Utmost North Sage Emperor’s daughter, would Qin Yu, a grand and majestic grandmaster artifact craftsman, use a first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure to cheat? Is that possible? The value of a first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure, is there anyone among us that doesn’t know of that?” The Asura Godking coldly humphed.

The Asura Godking looked at Zhou Xian below who was in a state of excitement and said to him coldly. “Zhou Xian, let me ask you. If you possessed a first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure, would you be willing to use that to exchange for Jiang Li?”

“Are you willing to part with the first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure?”

Zhou Xian opened his mouth and was about to reply.

The Asura Godking’s gaze had turned cold. “Before me, you’d best not lie!”

Zhou Xian opened his mouth but did not manage to say a single word.

The Asura Godking looked to everyone. He lightly laughed. “If Qin Yu wanted to cheat, would he use a first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure to cheat? Chunyu Rou, your way of thinking is truly too childish.”

On the palace hall, the Asura Godking directly berated Chunyu Rou.

“My wife, you go to the side and don’t say anything.” Jiang Fan shouted in a low voice. Chunyu Rou could only squeeze out a smile. She went to the side and no longer bothered to say anything.

[Robin: YES! :D]

Asura Godking!

The number one Godking of the Divine Realm. Furthermore, he possessed a first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure. With his strength, so what if he berated a Sage Emperor’s empress?

“Brother Jiang, this matter is your family’s matter. Earlier, I only said those words because I found the words that your wife said to be laughable. Well then, I also don’t have much to say. This matter shall be something that you should decide on your own Brother Jiang.” The Asura Godking slightly smiled and then no longer say anything.

Whether it was Chunyu Rou or Zhou Xian, the two of them had both turned quiet.

Actually, everyone present knew of the preciousness of a first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure. Had it been Zhou Xian or anyone else, they reckoned that they would likely not be willing to take it out.

Would someone use a first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure to deceive another?

If there truly was such a person.

Then that person would be a fool!

Jiang Fan actually had a thought in his heart: “Even if this Qin Yu were truly lying, I would also be willing to be deceived by him!” To obtain a first-rate Grandmist Spiritual Treasure, that was the true profit.

At this moment, Zhou Hou who sat on the side suddenly said with a light laughter. “What the Asura Godking said was very reasonable. However, no matter what you say, we still cannot absolutely guarantee that Qin Yu’s Gauze Feather Blade was from the Floating Feathers Exalted Celestial. If... if Qin Yu was truly lying? Then could we still consider this groom search to be impartial?”

Once those words were said, the entire palace hall’s atmosphere had turned awkward.

Zhou Huo, one of the Eight Great Sage Emperors. Although in terms of strength, he might be inferior to the Asura Godking, he was not that much inferior. What was most important was... Zhou Huo’s father was the Thunder Punishment Exalted Celestial!

Qin Yu looked at the thirteen Godkings that sat above.

The situation had turned extremely complicated. The groom search must be fair and impartial. However, no one could be certain if Qin Yu had truly encountered the Floating Feathers Exalted Celestial.

“Godkings.” Qin Yu lightly smiled and said. “I truly do not have any witness to this matter. How about this... Godkings, if you believe in me, Qin Yu, then you will support me. If you do not believe me, then you will support Zhou Xian. We will then see who possesses more supporters?”

“If I win, then this first chosen candidate spot will be mine. If I lose, then the first chosen candidate spot will be Zhou Xian’s and I will temporary leave with the Gauze Feather Blade.”

Qin Yu looked to the thirteen Godkings on the stage above.

Jiang Fan also frowned and pondered for a moment. However, he was unable to think of a perfect method.

“Good, then the Godkings shall judge. Who exactly shall this chosen candidate spot belong to?” Jiang Fan looked to the various Godkings. He had no choice but to announce that.

The Blood Demon Queen lightly laughed. “I shall be the first. In order to not have this Gauze Feather Blade land on the hands of the Utmost North Sage Emperor, I support... Zhou Xian.” The Blood Demon Queen said with beaming smiles. “Qin Yu, that proposal of mine is valid at all times.”

Qin Yu could only squeeze out a smile.

“Thank you Senior Blood Demon Queen.” Zhou Xian said respectfully.

The next person, the Utmost West Sage Emperor stood up. However, when the Utmost West Sage Emperor wanted to say something, his expression suddenly changed. He then sat back down.

Not only the Utmost West Sage Emperor, all thirteen Godkings on the scene had their complexions change.

“The matter has already become clear. I declare... the first chosen candidate spot belongs to Qin Yu!” Jiang Fan suddenly said in a clear voice.

Qin Yu, Zhou Xian and all the various other people down below were startled.

Zhou Xian immediately said. “Uncle, this judging had just begun. Why did you...”

“Speak no more.” Jiang Fan lightly laughed. “Just now, the Floating Feathers Exalted Celestial sent a voice transmission to all of the Godkings present. This Gauze Feather Blade was indeed something that he had bestowed to Qin Yu. The Floating Feathers Exalted Celestial had personally acknowledged it, could it be any falsity to that?”

That Zhou Xian immediately turned to his father Zhou Huo with a slightly disappointed gaze.

Zhou Huo also slightly nodded to Zhou Xian. “It is indeed something the Floating Feathers Exalted Celestial gifted.”

Zhou Xian immediately grew silent.

Qin Yu’s heart had also grown confused. “The Floating Feathers Exalted Celestial has acknowledged it? It seems that those three Grandmist Spiritual Treasures are indeed related to him. Merely, is the Floating Feathers Exalted Celestial the silver haired silver eyed youth or that silver haired silver eyed youth’s master?”
