Seven days later:
A certain area in Heaven-Reaching Sword Gorge.
Chen Qingyu, who was immersed in comprehending spiritual techniques, was suddenly awakened by the system's notification sound.
Um?
He opened his eyes, and a brilliant light shone from them:
It's time to check in again.
He silently recited in his heart:
System! I need to sign in!
In an instant:
The system's crisp notification sound rang out:
This is the sixteenth time the host has checked in at [ Heaven-Reaching Sword Gorge ]!
The prize pool for [ Heaven-Reaching Sword Gorge ] has been exhausted. This sign-in will enhance the rewards you previously obtained. Drawing is in progress! Drawing complete!
Congratulations, host! Your control, comprehension, and application of the [ True Dharma of Commanding and Controlling All Lightning ] have been slightly enhanced!
The system notification tone ended:
Suddenly, information flooded in, and Chen Qingyu shuddered slightly before quickly digesting and receiving it.
The sign-in potential of [ Heaven-Reaching Sword Gorge ] has been basically exhausted.
Chen Qingyu snapped out of his reverie and couldn't help but sigh softly.
The prize pool for [ Heaven-Reaching Sword Gorge ] only has three lightning-attribute rewards, and the draws rotate very quickly.
He has been signing in here for a total of half a month, and has already upgraded all three major rewards three or four times.
Staying here any longer would offer little improvement, so there's no point in staying.
If it weren't for the fact that Emperor Taizu Chen Guangsheng hadn't returned yet, they would have set off long ago.
roar
At that moment, his ears twitched, and he vaguely heard the sound of a dragon's roar coming from not far away.
This is Wu Su'e practicing her profound skills, absorbing and exhaling Dragon Qi to cultivate her own True Essence in order to improve her cultivation.
I hope my great-grandfather will come back soon.
He shook his head, his brows furrowing slightly.
If this continues, the Yanggu Zhang Clan will probably already be prepared.
Before leaving:
Chen Guangsheng clearly said he would be back soon.
But it's been seven days already, and there's still no sign of him. I wonder what's holding him back.
call!
He took a deep breath, regulated his internal True Essence, and immersed himself in cultivation once again.
Several hours later:
boom!
The space in front of him was suddenly torn apart by a powerful force, and the body of an old man in purple robes stepped into the real world.
Um?
Startled, Chen Qingyu opened his eyes instantly and, upon recognizing the person who had entered, quickly stood up.
Great-grandfather, you're back?
Chen Guangsheng nodded slightly, looking at him with a hint of apology:
Little Qingyu, I'm so sorry.
I originally thought I would be able to get back quickly, but I never expected it would take me seven whole days to leave you unprotected.
This truly makes me, as an ancestor, feel ashamed.
Chen Qingyu shook his head and said:
Great-grandfather, you flatter me.
As he spoke, a look of inquiry appeared on his face:
What happened that caused you to be delayed for seven whole days?
Chen Guangsheng took a deep breath and said:
After I return the Corpse Demon Body of the Heaven-Swallowing Ba Serpent to the clan, all the Supreme Elders will come with me to examine it.
However, no matter what methods we used, we couldn't figure out the secret.
Left with no other option, we had to consult the Ninth Ancestor.
He paused at this point, a hint of helplessness on his face:
However, his true self is currently in deep seclusion, reportedly investigating the origins of the Supreme Void Eternal World Mirror, which has reached its most crucial moment.
It wasn't until this morning that he finally managed to muster a little strength to respond to us.
Hearing his words;
Chen Qingyu's expression immediately changed, and he pressed for an answer:
So, the Ninth Ancestor and the other three patriarchs have already reached a conclusion regarding the theft of the authority over the Supreme Void Eternal World Mirror?
Chen Guangsheng nodded slightly and said:
That's about right, but the investigation isn't completely over yet; we only have preliminary results.
As he spoke, he added:
However, he didn't tell us the result. If you want to know, you'll have to go back to the Divine Capital and ask him yourself.
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu nodded and said:
I see.
What happened to the Corpse Demon body of the Heaven-Swallowing Ba Serpent?
Chen Guangsheng narrowed his eyes, a serious expression appearing on his face:
The Ninth Ancestor mobilized the immense power of the Myriad Stars Armillary Heaven Bell and carefully investigated, finally discovering a clue.
That Heaven-Swallowing Ba Serpent had been dead for many years, but its corpse had not yet decomposed. However, it was dug up and, through some means, transformed into Corpse Demon.
this!
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu immediately showed a look of horror:
Was the transformation of the Heaven-Swallowing Ba Serpent into Corpse Demon catalyzed by human intervention?
He originally thought that the corpse of the Heaven-Swallowing Ba Serpent had turned into Corpse Demon after it died, because it was not suppressed by the Great Yin Grotto.
Such examples are rare on the Desolate Continent, but there are quite a few.
But to everyone's surprise, the reason why the Heaven-Swallowing Ba Serpent turned into Corpse Demon was actually because it was forced into existence by someone!
right!
Chen Guangsheng's expression had become very solemn, and he said in a deep voice:
This is enough to show that the person behind the scenes not only controls the means to control the Corpse Demon, but also has the ability to create Corpse Demon.
This matter has already been informed by our Chen Clan to all the other holy lands, alarming many powerful figures.
At this point, he looked at Chen Qingyu and said:
Currently, in almost every holy Desolate Continent, high-ranking officials are closely monitoring this matter.
However, fearing it would cause widespread panic, the news was temporarily suppressed.
Since you were a witness, you are now in charge of the initial investigation into the subsequent events, as instructed by the Ninth Ancestor!
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu couldn't help but take a deep breath:
Is this appropriate?
Such a momentous event, and you expect me, a Spirit Origin Realm, to be in charge of it?
Upon hearing this, Chen Guangsheng laughed heartily:
You underestimate yourself.
Ninth Ancestor proposed this resolution, it was indeed met with opposition from almost all the sacred sites.
But after he revealed your name, all the powerful figures fell silent, and no one raised any further objections.
He smiled and patted Chen Qingyu on the shoulder, encouraging him:
You are the Number One Heavenly Prodigy of All Time, the one with the best chance of becoming the second Emperor Yuan!
The high-ranking officials of the various holy lands and those powerful figures who have shaken the Desolate Continent dare not underestimate you in the slightest!
Therefore, the various sacred sites have unanimously decided that you, the seal master, will take command and oversee the entire operation, and will investigate the Yanggu Zhang Clan and all clues related to this matter!
As he spoke, he reached out and flipped his hand, taking out a shimmering, sky-blue jade talisman.
Here you go!
You provided the starting sign-in rewards for the legendary Zhuang Shisan, featuring Chen Qingyu from the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Transformations Zhuang Shisan.
