Two hours later.
The Divine Capital, deep within the Floating Heavenly Palace, atop Star Sea Floating Island.
Our ancestors.
Chen Qingyu bowed respectfully to the Ninth Ancestor before him and said:
My business is done.
Um.
The Ninth Ancestor nodded slightly, gesturing for him to sit down, and said with a smile:
It's all done now.
In Central Capital Yangchuan, they've been waiting for you to take up your post for almost a month now.
Chen Qingyu sat down cross-legged and began to speak;
Once I've finished dealing with matters in the Divine Capital, I'll head there to take up my post as soon as possible.
He paused for a moment, then asked:
Ancestor, if I wish to enter the Emperor Yuan Palace, is there any way to do so?
His sixth check-in location was the Emperor Yuan Palace.
He wanted to ask this question last time.
But because I received so much bombshell information last time, I completely forgot to ask, and only remembered it later.
Entering the Emperor Yuan Palace?
The Ninth Ancestor paused for a moment, his brows furrowing slightly:
What do you want to do in the Emperor Yuan Palace? Do you have something to ask the Emperor Yuan?
Of course not.
Chen Qingyu began to explain:
I just want to pay my respects to the Emperor Yuan Palace; I only need to look at it from the front, I don't need to actually go inside to meet the Emperor Yuan.
The Ninth Ancestor looked at him, shook his head, and said:
You little rascal, you even try to hide things from me and won't tell the truth.
Who would believe your flimsy excuse?
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu could only scratch his head and give an awkward smile.
never mind.
The Ninth Ancestor waved his hand and said:
You have many little secrets, but since you don't want to tell me, I'm too lazy to ask.
He paused for a moment before continuing:
However, entering the Emperor Yuan Palace is not such a simple matter.
Now you understand that, because of the existence of the Supreme Void Eternal World Mirror, we and the Emperor Yuan Palace have maintained a certain tacit understanding for the past 30,000 years.
Emperor Yuan never interfered in the affairs of the Desolate Continent, but we revered him as the lord of the Desolate Continent and the supreme ruler of all races, spreading his deeds and placing him on the highest throne.
As for the Emperor Yuan Palace, it is not actually located on the Desolate Continent, but rather in a separate small world created by the Emperor Yuan.
Chen Qingyu paused for a moment:
Small World?
good.
The Ninth Ancestor nodded and said:
Ordinary spatial realms can be created by those at the Void Penetration Realm, but they are usually attached to the mortal world and have limited scope.
However, only Quasi-Emperor and Emperor Venerable can create Small Realms, which possess great independence and can even have their own rules defined by the creators.
A small realm is often hundreds of millions of miles wide, forming its own world, operating internally, and possessing an environment completely different from the outside world.
Apart from the Great Void Primal Spirit and the Emperor Yuan himself, no one knew the true location of that small world.
As he spoke, he looked at Chen Qingyu and said:
Therefore, under normal circumstances, it is impossible for you to enter the Emperor Yuan Palace.
Let alone you, even we old guys at the Extreme Transformation Realm wouldn't be able to find the Gate to the Minor Realm without the Emperor Yuan's decree.
After listening, Chen Qingyu's expression changed, and he asked:
The old folks said that's under normal circumstances. (Meow Meow Little said)
That means there must be other ways, right?
Oh
The Ninth Ancestor chuckled softly, not answering directly, but instead asking leisurely:
Do you remember what I said when I first told you about the existence of the Supreme Void Dao Realm?
Um?
Chen Qingyu paused for a moment, then remembered, and his eyes lit up instantly:
Dragon Gate Dharma Assembly?
good!
The Ninth Ancestor nodded slightly and slowly said:
The Dragon Gate Dharma Assembly was the only event that connected the Emperor Yuan Palace with the outside world.
Regardless of Emperor Yuan's true thoughts, it is widely acknowledged across the Desolate Continent that he enjoys mentoring younger generations and cultivating prodigies.
Every few hundred or even a thousand years, the Emperor Yuan Palace would issue Emperor Yuan Edict to the world, inviting unparalleled geniuses to enter the Emperor Yuan Palace and participate in the Dragon Gate Dharma Assembly.
Those qualified to receive the Emperor Yuan Edict were none other than the most powerful and dazzling geniuses in their respective realms.
He looked at Chen Qingyu and smiled slightly:
You are the Number One Heavenly Prodigy of All Time, dominating your generation and unmatched by anyone.
Once the Dragon Gate Dharma Assembly is held, you will definitely be the first to receive the Emperor Yuan Edict, granting you the qualification to go to the Emperor Yuan Palace.
Chen Qingyu nodded, then hesitated for a moment before saying:
But when will the next Dragon Gate Dharma Assembly be held?
The Ninth Ancestor's gaze was profound as he said calmly:
The last Dragon Gate Dharma Assembly has been held for over 800 years.
Next time won't be too long.
I'd even dare to say that the Dragon Gate Dharma Assembly held sometime this year, perhaps even before you advance to the Heavenly Impulse Realm!
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu was taken aback:
How can you be so sure, ancestor?
Wasn't the Emperor Yuan Palace isolated from the outside world?
Moreover, each Dragon Gate Dharma Assembly held without any prior warning, and the Emperor Yuan Palace does not announce it in advance; one can only estimate the time by approximate calculations.
Why was the Ninth Ancestor so confident in making such a judgment?
Oh
The Ninth Ancestor smiled meaningfully and said:
I have my own way of doing things.
I will explain it clearly before you go to the Emperor Yuan Palace.
All right.
Chen Qingyu shook his head, temporarily setting aside the idea of pressing the matter, and said:
Well then, ancestor, I shall take my leave now.
Um.
The Ninth Ancestor nodded and said:
Go then, and remember to cultivate diligently in Central Capital Yangchuan, without slacking off.
As he spoke, he added:
Of course, your appointment in Central Capital Yangchuan is just a formality; you won't be staying for long.
Once you reach the Divine Ability Realm, or the Dragon Gate Dharma Assembly held, you will have to step down.
Chen Qingyu nodded and said:
I see.
A moment later.
Chen Qingyu casually signed in at the Floating Heavenly Palace, then once again rode the auspicious cloud, descending through the fierce winds.
When he returned home, he found his father, Chen Zhengxing, drinking tea in the courtyard.
Dad.
Chen Qingyu landed in the courtyard and waved to greet them.
You finally decided to come back, huh?
Chen Zhengxing looked at him, holding his teacup, and slowly said:
During this period, every time I finished my retreat and completed my cultivation, I could only see your letter; I never saw you again.
You busy person, are you finally done with your work?
Chen Qingyu shrugged and casually said:
Not yet, I have to go on another long trip.
Chen Zhengxing paused for a moment, then subconsciously asked:
Where are you going this time?
Chen Qingyu sat opposite him and said:
Go to Central Capital Yangchuan.
This time, it's to serve my Lineage as an inspector.
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhengxing chuckled and said:
Serving the Lineage? How can you even say that?
In my opinion, it's probably just that the Ninth Ancestor sent you there to go through some formalities and arranged a place for you to cultivate.
Chen Qingyu chuckled:
Dad knows a lot.
Chen Zhengxing put down his teacup, paused for a moment, and then suddenly spoke:
Perfect timing! You're going to Central Capital Yangchuan, could you do me a favor?
You provided the starting sign-in rewards for the legendary Zhuang Shisan, featuring Chen Qingyu from the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Transformations Zhuang Shisan.
