Bai Yu didn't feel like explaining. Though he didn't want to put on airs in the Chat Group, he wasn't about to answer such a pointless question, either.
There was no point. It would only waste time.
As for becoming friends with Yang Jian and the others?
Bai Yu had no such intention. Thanks to this mysterious Chat Group, Yang Jian being able to speak with Bai Yu was already an immense stroke of luck and blessing for him.
With the help of this Chat Group, Yang Jian might achieve great things in the future, but the Yang Jian of today still didn't register in Bai Yu's eyes.
This wasn't because Bai Yu thought the world of himself, much less because he was extremely conceited. It was simply that Bai Yu and Yang Jian weren't even on the same level.
Bai Yu didn't look down on Yang Jian in the slightest, because he had never paid any attention to him in the first place.
Of course, if someone thought that this lack of attention counted as looking down on him, then Bai Yu really had nothing to say.
At present, the only person in this Chat Group who could make Bai Yu pay even a little attention was Shi Yaoyao.
As for the reason?
Naturally, it was because Shi Yaoyao was the group owner.
Of course, that seemed to be the only reason.
[Immortal]: Since I'm new here, I'll send a red packet to mark the occasion.
Bai Yu didn't want to waste any more words. He'd send a red packet, get the world coordinates of these people's worlds, and be done with it.
And no matter how smart the members of the group were, they definitely wouldn't know what Bai Yu was really after.
[Call Me Group Owner]: Wow!!!
When Shi Yaoyao saw Bai Yu's message, she froze, then grew so excited that she even forgot to send her usual emoji.
This was a red packet from a Seventeenth Order big shot!!!
Tsk, tsk. Even if it was just something utterly ordinary to a big shot, to her it was a priceless treasure she could only dream of getting!
Shi Yaoyao focused all her attention and braced herself, ready to use the speed of someone who'd been single since birth to snatch the red packet!!!
Bai Yu simply tossed in some things he'd refined on a whim and had absolutely no use for, then sent them out.
[ Ding, group member 'Immortal' has sent a red packet to everyone.]
The next moment, almost in an instant-
[ Ding, group owner [Call Me Group Owner] has claimed the red packet.]
"Nice!!!"
Shi Yaoyao excitedly clenched her fists and bounced up and down several times. Then, with a mix of nervousness and excitement, she opened the red packet she'd snatched...
The other group members were also delighted, and quickly claimed their red packets, afraid they might miss out.
"Hiss..."
Shi Yaoyao stared blankly at the item in the red packet and fell silent.
[Sky Mirror]: A supreme treasure containing the Origin Laws of space and time. It reflects heaven and earth, perceives the origin, can imprison time, and can suppress space. [Rank]: Sixteenth Order
"...S-Sixteenth Order..."
Shi Yaoyao was completely stunned. She was so frightened that she didn't even dare claim the supreme treasure glowing with the light of the laws.
Magic treasures also had ranks. According to the rules of the Chat Group, magic treasures had thirty-six ranks.
Of course, though Shi Yaoyao had been frightened by the Sky Mirror, it really wasn't anything special.
Bai Yu wasn't skilled at refining artifacts-or rather, he'd never had to spend time learning.
Still, he knew a little about the art of artifact refinement. It wasn't difficult. The Sky Mirror was something he'd refined on a whim; he'd practically made it in bulk, and could whip up hundreds or thousands of them just as easily.
He'd merely imprinted a wisp of the Origin Laws of time and space onto it. That took no effort for Bai Yu, and he could even imprint them in bulk.
In fact, in the Great Thousand Primordial World where Bai Yu lived, magic treasures containing Origin Laws weren't anything special. Even a Heavenly Immortal could refine one, since Heavenly Immortals had already comprehended Origin Laws. They only needed to imprint the Origin Laws they had comprehended into the treasure.
The truly top-tier magic treasures in heaven and earth were those that contained an Origin Great Dao. In the Primordial World, magic treasures were divided into Spirit Treasures and supreme treasures. They were also classed as innate or acquired, and further divided into low-grade, mid-grade, high-grade, and supreme-grade.
Take, for example, the Chaos Bell, one of the three famous Innate Supreme Treasures of the Great Thousand Primordial World. It possessed the might to suppress the Primordial Chaos World, the power to reverse the flow of time and space across the myriad heavens, the ability to reveal the mysteries of the Heavenly Dao, and the capacity to refine earth, water, fire, and wind.
It was wondrous beyond measure and possessed boundless power of creation. It could also imprison time and suppress space, and it was both an offensive and defensive treasure. With it held above one's head, one could stand invincible.
A supreme treasure of this level absolutely contained an Origin Great Dao, and not just one.
A Great Dao Supreme Treasure of this level was something even a Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal could only hope to encounter, never seek out.
After all, not all living beings were like Bai Yu, with a cheat to help them comprehend the Dao, allowing them to grasp numerous Origin Laws and, eventually, numerous Origin Great Daos.
Even among the top Innate Divine Beings, most comprehended only one Origin Great Dao. Only by mastering a single Dao could they hope to reach the highest heights.
Thus, a magic treasure containing an Origin Great Dao was a supreme treasure that even Sages couldn't resist fighting over.
Daluo Golden Immortals comprehended an Origin Great Dao, and by fully mastering one, they could prove the Dao and attain the Primordial realm. That showed just how difficult it was to comprehend an Origin Great Dao.
One could imagine how tempting a magic treasure containing an Origin Great Dao would be, given its importance and the power it held.
The Sky Mirror Shi Yaoyao had claimed might be no different to Bai Yu from the broken stones and plants scattered everywhere on the ground.
But to Shi Yaoyao, it was a supreme treasure beyond compare.
Even to Yang Jian, the strongest fighter in the group, it was a supreme treasure beyond compare.
After all, the [Lotus Lantern World] where Yang Jian lived was only a Middle Thousand World. The Sages in his world were only Sixteenth Order.
And the Sky Mirror was also Sixteenth Order. To the Sages in Yang Jian's world, the Sky Mirror was no different from an Innate Supreme Treasure.
That was the difference brought about by the disparity between worlds.
"I... I... I'm already... graduating?"
Shi Yaoyao took a long while to come back to herself, then drew in a deep, shuddering breath.
She felt as if she'd lost all motivation to move forward. With this magic treasure, it seemed... she'd already graduated?
"Looks like this group owner is pretty lucky..."
Even Bai Yu couldn't help thinking that this little group owner, who loved sending emojis, really did have excellent luck.
Of the several things he'd sent, the Sky Mirror was the best.
After all, it was imprinted with the Origin Laws of space and time, and those Origin Laws came from the Great Thousand Primordial World.
Origin Laws of this level absolutely crushed those of Small Thousand and Middle Thousand Worlds.
Sure enough, the moment Shi Yaoyao, trembling hands and all, finally took the Sky Mirror out of the red packet with excitement...
