Unfortunately, Ye Qiu had already arrived at Star Picking Pavilion.
Ye Qiu wasn't in a hurry to enter. He only stood silently for a while and thought about something. He did not understand why the First Elder suddenly invited him over. After thinking about it seriously, Ye Qiu seemed to understand. It was probably… paving the way for him, right?
If Ye Qiu remembered correctly, Jiang Ling'er had said just now that her master, the First Elder of Heavenly Saint Mountain, was in Star Picking Pavilion. At this time, Meng Tianzheng probably invited him over for one purpose, which was to introduce him to this extraordinary figure of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.
Thinking of this, Ye Qiu immediately took a deep breath and a smile appeared on his face. As soon as he entered the hall, he saw familiar faces.
"Oh, isn't this Lord Deity? You're really a busy person. I've finally invited you after inviting you for so long." As soon as Ye Qiu entered the hall, the elder in the Star Picking Pavilion instantly teased him.
"Haha, elders, don't flatter me. What right do I have?" Ye Qiu also heard their teasing and replied with a smile.
They didn't have any ill intentions. On the contrary, these elders were very friendly to Ye Qiu. They were even grateful and thought very highly of him. This was because back then, Ye Qiu's drop of Life Liquid had helped Meng Tianzheng transcend the Death Tribulation like their benefactor. They couldn't guarantee anything else, but if Ye Qiu had a request and wanted them to attack, they definitely wouldn't hesitate to attack.
"Haha! Rascal, you've been back for so long. Why don't you come and see us old fellows? Last time, when Elder Gu went down, I wanted to go down to play, but First Elder did not allow it." A sage-like old man laughed heartily. It was a pity that they had not left Star Picking Pavilion for many years.
Originally, they wanted to go down to the lower realm together to help Ye Qiu. At the very least, they couldn't embarrass themselves. However, the First Elder did not allow it. He said that the time was not right and they could not come out of seclusion.
Hearing the old man's teasing, Ye Qiu hurriedly bowed and replied, "Elder Li is very considerate. Next time, I will definitely invite you out of the mountain to support me. It's a good opportunity to let the world know that our Elder Li is still young and heroic."
When Elder Li heard this, he smiled happily. "Haha, I like to hear this. I, Li, am undoubtedly someone. Back then…"
"Alright, you should stop your self bragging. We've heard about your deeds for hundreds of years. Why haven't you finished saying it?" Seeing that he was about to start bragging about his great deeds back then, the elders at the side immediately couldn't hold it in anymore.
They had listened for hundreds of years and their ears had grown calluses because of it. How could they have the time to listen to him brag anymore?
When Li Wuyi heard this, he rubbed his nose awkwardly and chuckled. He did not think that he had gone overboard. Indeed, the elders of Star Picking Pavilion were all famous figures when they were young. They had guarded Star Picking Pavilion together for so many years and knew each other well. He would be annoyed even if he said it.
However, his performance in front of the juniors was still alright.
Seeing this scene, Ye Qiu smiled in his heart, but he still held it in. The elders in Star Picking Pavilion were all quite interesting. Getting along with them would be extremely helpful to Ye Qiu's future. Therefore, Ye Qiu never put on airs here. He was very respectful to them, and the atmosphere was good between them.
This was the situation! Ye Qiu knew when to show off and when to be humble.
"Alright, child, go up. The First Elder is still waiting for you." After an unknown period of time, an old man sitting cross-legged on a lotus platform in the depths of the hall said kindly.
Hearing this, Ye Qiu bowed respectfully and silently walked to the top floor of Star Picking Pavilion.
The elders sighed with emotion as they watched him leave.
"This child is neither arrogant nor rash. He is humble and polite, respecting his master. Perhaps the First Elder's choice was very correct. He can really carry the banner of my Heaven Mending Holy Land."
As soon as these words were spoken, he immediately obtained the approval of the other elders.
"Yes, this child is ambitious and has astonishing potential. If nothing unexpected happens during this period, he will definitely become an extraordinary figure in the future."
At this point, the elders felt gratified. They had been guarding the Star Picking Pavilion for so many years. Wasn't their greatest wish for the Heaven Mending Holy Land to produce a true immortal?
The Star Picking Pavilion was the providence of the Heaven Mending Holy Land. They protected this providence and gave the opportunity to these young people with endless possibilities.
The meaning was far-reaching. Very few people could truly understand their hard work.
The old man's voice came from the hall that had been silent for a long time.
"Everyone, it has been millions of years since we came to protect it. I believe that in the near future, my Heaven Mending Holy Land will definitely be able to break the taboo that has never been broken and enjoy the halo of eternity. Everyone… please look forward to it with me." After saying that, the old man closed his eyes again and continued to sleep.
Ye Qiu didn't know that as he had already arrived at the top floor of Star Picking Pavilion. Under the deep sky, it was like swimming through the sea of stars. Ye Qiu looked down and felt like he was looking down on the world.
He couldn't help but praise in his heart, "Looks like the First Elder's cultivation has improved a little. Such a power to transform into all things and travel the world is really shocking."
The top floor of Star Picking Pavilion was more like a small world. It multiplied and grew endlessly under the First Elder's evolution technique. He looked up at the tightly shut door. Gu Sanqiu was standing outside the door, silently guarding it.
"Elder Gu!" Ye Qiu called out softly. Gu Sanqiu slowly opened his eyes. There was no expression on his face. When he saw Ye Qiu, he suddenly revealed a smile.
"Haha, you're finally here! Go in. Ming Yue has already arrived before you. The First Elder is waiting for you inside."
Hearing this, Ye Qiu was stunned, "Senior Sister is here too?" He was more or less a little surprised, but on second thought, there didn't seem to be anything wrong.
After all, Ming Yue was the fully deserving number one person in the Heaven Mending Holy Land, the Heaven Mending Saintess. Fortunately, she did not like to show her face and meddle in other people's business. Otherwise, who in the entire Heaven Mending Holy Land would not fear her?
There were many people challenging Ye Qiu. But have you ever seen anyone dare to challenge Ming Yue? That was equivalent to courting death.
Thinking of this, the corner of Ye Qiu's mouth suddenly twitched and he felt a little uncomfortable. Why do I feel like I'm very weak? Otherwise, why would so many people like to find trouble with me?
Shaking his head, Ye Qiu smiled bitterly. Then, he pushed open the door and walked into the First Elder's training hall.
Ye Qiu stepped into the void and swam in a sea of stars. He seemed to have been swept into a void turbulence. He couldn't help but be shocked and break out in cold sweat. Ye Qiu instantly mobilized all the blood energy in his body to resist the countercurrent.
Suddenly, a pair of flawless white hands pulled him out from the void.
Ye Qiu looked up. At this moment, he had already arrived in a cloud and was sitting cross-legged on the cloud platform. Two sage-like old men were playing chess. The pair of flawless white hands that had just pulled him back was Ming Yue.
Ming Yue didn't have much emotion when she saw her arrive. She only let go of him and said, "That's the First Elder's vortex of order. Those who barge in for the first time will be lost in it. I was the same just now."
She was afraid that Ye Qiu would think too much, so she explained.
