This is
When the Ninth Ancestor saw the black metal token, he was startled and paused for a moment.
So that's what it is.
When he came to his senses, he couldn't help but sigh, then shook his head with a smile and said:
It's like searching high and low without finding it, only to have it come to you effortlessly.
My Chen Clan has been searching for this thing for over ten thousand years. I never imagined that you would obtain it by chance.
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu's expression immediately changed, and he asked:
Ancestor, it seems you recognize this thing?
good.
The Ninth Ancestor nodded slightly and said:
This token is indeed one of the most precious treasures left behind by the Saint King Chenliu before his death.
Moreover, this item was personally instructed by the Saint King Chenliu, as it involves a momentous opportunity.
However, this thing was lost a long time ago.
this
After hearing what the Ninth Ancestor said, Chen Qingyu couldn't help but say:
If it's such a precious treasure, why was it lost?
Upon hearing this, the Ninth Ancestor couldn't help but sigh:
The Chen Clan lineage has not always been smooth sailing; it has experienced many twists and turns.
Tens of thousands of years ago, after the Saint King Saint King Chenliu passed away, his seven children fought and killed each other for the treasures he left behind and the right to inherit his lineage.
This led to the collapse of the Ancient Kingdom of Chenliu, which split into seven kingdoms that fought each other for a full thousand years.
This token was also lost during that period and never saw the light of day again.
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu's heart stirred slightly.
He had learned about this history when he was a student in his clan, but his teacher only mentioned it briefly and didn't elaborate.
After all, it's not something to be proud of for brothers to fight each other or for blood relatives to kill one another.
In fact:
Of the Kings of High Antiquity, apart from a few like the Heavenly Sword Saint King who only left behind their own lineage, the rest left behind their Saint King and founded many ancient kingdoms.
This is also the origin of the names of many ancient kingdoms within the Central Heaven Prefecture today.
However, over the past tens of thousands of years, many ancient kingdoms have collapsed for various reasons, and none of them have been able to survive to this day. Most of them have lost their bloodline, and their territories have been occupied by outsiders.
The Ancient Kingdom of Chenliu, ruled by the Chen Clan, was considered the best, at least it was still under the rule of the Chen Clan.
That chaotic battle back then caused huge losses to the Chen Clan.
The Ninth Ancestor continued speaking, a hint of regret and vicissitude appearing in his eyes:
Over the course of those thousand years, many treasures left behind by the Saint King Chenliu were lost.
This token is one of the two most important treasures among them.
For hundreds of thousands of years, my Chen Clan has been searching for those treasures and has recovered most of them, but we have never been able to find this token.
Unexpectedly, it fell into the hands of the Liangshan Wang Clan by sheer chance, and they have kept it hidden for who knows how many tens of thousands of years.
After listening, Chen Qingyu felt curious and asked:
So what exactly is this token? And what opportunity is it connected to?
The Ninth Ancestor pondered for a moment, then continued:
Regarding this token, the Saint King Chenliu left only a few words, saying that it was a key and also a kind of symbol.
As for the opportunities involved
He sighed, a hint of helplessness in his eyes:
That fortuitous encounter also required another treasure: a map that came with the token.
Unfortunately, that map was also lost.
Without that map, the token cannot take effect.
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu finally understood.
Of the many treasures lost back then, the most important were this token and another map.
He has now retrieved the token, but the map remains nowhere to be found.
this
He stroked his chin and said:
Could that map also be in the hands of the Liangshan Wang Clan?
The Ninth Ancestor pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said:
I feel the chances are slim.
After all, the Wang Clan's history is not very long, only 80,000 years. To obtain this token is already a stroke of good fortune.
The chances that the map happened to be in their possession were extremely small.
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu could only sigh regretfully.
Well, it seems that this opportunity to obtain the token is not meant for me.
That's not necessarily true.
The Ninth Ancestor suddenly spoke, and smiled slightly:
As the Number One Heavenly Prodigy of All Time, you are, in a sense, blessed by destiny and possess great fortune.
The treasure that my Chen Clan has searched for over ten thousand years without success, you might just find.
If you can find that map before advancing to the Divine Treasure Realm, that great opportunity will still be yours; there's no way you can escape it.
Keep this token for now, and see if you can use it to find the map.
Chen Qingyu's eyes lit up, and he nodded:
I see.
Even the Saint King Chenliu personally described it as an earth-shattering opportunity, so he was quite looking forward to it.
It remains to be seen when we'll find clues on that map.
Oh, right.
The Ninth Ancestor seemed to have thought of something and spoke:
Now that you're back from Liangshan, have you finished taking care of things?
When do you plan to take up your post in Central Capital Yangchuan?
this
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu showed a hint of embarrassment:
Ancestor, I have some matters to attend to and need to leave the Divine Capital for a while.
Upon hearing this, the Ninth Ancestor frowned:
Are you leaving again? Where are you going?
Chen Qingyu said repeatedly:
It wasn't far, within the ancient territory of Ancient Kingdom of Chenliu, in a valley near the Western Capital Ligu.
The Ninth Ancestor's brows relaxed, and he waved his hand, saying:
Then go ahead, and come back soon.
After saying that, he seemed to remember something and asked:
When you return from that valley, surely there won't be anything else that needs to be done, and you won't have to keep putting it off?
Chen Qingyu scratched his head, feeling somewhat guilty, and said:
There shouldn't be any more problems, right?
He didn't know where the next sign-in location would be after [ Divine Punishment Valley ].
If it weren't far away, within the Central Heaven Prefecture, he would definitely have gone straight to sign in, and it would probably have taken a while.
If it's too far away, or in a place like a sacred land of another race that he can't go, he can only put it aside for the time being and find another opportunity to sign in later.
never mind.
The Ninth Ancestor shook his head and sighed:
I can't control you, go wherever you want.
Anyway, the position of Inspector in Central Capital Yangchuan is still reserved for you.
He paused for a moment, then solemnly added a word of advice:
Oh, and remember not to leave the Central Heaven Prefecture Continent.
These are extraordinary times. The Sage Evolution Palace still lurks in the shadows, watching you with predatory intent; various alien holy lands also harbor ill intentions towards you. Be cautious in everything you do.
Chen Qingyu nodded and said:
Ancestor, I understand.
Um.
The Ninth Ancestor nodded slightly and flicked his sleeve, saying:
Then you can go.
Chen Qingyu stood up, bowed respectfully, and said:
Well then, ancestor, I'll take my leave.
You provided the starting sign-in rewards for the legendary Zhuang Shisan, featuring Chen Qingyu from the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Transformations Zhuang Shisan.
