After spending several days adjusting his condition, Chu Qing could not wait to forge the Exotic Treasure into his own realm.
The result was:
Messages kept arriving for him in the Square Inch Gathering.
Watching the flickering Square Inch Gathering, Chu Qing suddenly realized:
He had not set foot inside it for ten years.
"Perfect. I'll go in and see what storms and changes have swept through the world over these ten years."
With that thought, he sent his consciousness into the Square Inch Gathering.
The moment he entered, he found countless people calling for him:
"Chu Qing..."
"Brother Qing..."
"Reflection Old Ancestor!"
"Your Majesty... come out! We have urgent business with you!"
"Your Majesty, don't tell me you're dead!"
"Shut up. Does an emperor dying count as death? That's called passing away!"
"..."
Chu Qing...
"Everyone, what's the matter?"
Chu Qing was rather curious.
However:
The moment this group saw him enter the gathering, they immediately erupted in cheers.
"Sure enough, he isn't dead!"
"He must have been in seclusion!"
"Haha, I won! Pay up with your resources!"
Chu Qing...
At this moment, Luo Tian spoke. "Chu Qing, what have you been doing these past ten years?"
"So many major events have happened in the world. Why didn't you come out and take part in any of them?"
"We thought something had happened to you!"
Second Generation Yin Tianzi said sourly, "Luo Tian, you don't understand anything."
"What could possibly happen to Chu Qing?"
"He must have been enjoying himself in his old nest!"
Luo Tian said, "Enjoying himself?"
"What could he possibly enjoy?"
Second Generation Yin Tianzi said, "Hehe, ten years ago, I went to Stone Ridge Mountain and saw peerless beauties all over the mountains and plains!"
"Tell me, what could Chu Qing have been enjoying?"
Everyone...
