How could this be? What a coincidence!
Chen Qingyu was filled with doubt and surprise. He reached into the brocade box and took out the dark stone.
His first impression of the Black Stone was its weight!
Even with his unparalleled Divine Power, his arm swayed slightly before he finally managed to lift the stone after exerting his full power.
This stone is so heavy that it's probably comparable to dozens of mountains thousands of feet high.
A look of amazement and contemplation flashed in Chen Qingyu's eyes.
He held the black stone, examined it carefully for a moment, and gradually recalled what he had seen:
This stone does indeed look very similar to the Divine Punishment Refined Iron ore I obtained outside the Divine Punishment Valley.
However, upon closer inspection, many differences can still be found.
The biggest difference is the weight.
The ore of Divine Punishment Refined Iron is only a few dozen times heavier than ordinary copper and iron; but this black stone is truly as heavy as a mountain.
Secondly, this stone doesn't look like ore; rather, it looks like refined metal.
This thing seems to be made of the same material as the token left by the Saint King Chenliu.
A thought struck him, and he immediately reached out and flipped his hand, taking out the dark, heavy token.
After a moment of careful comparison, Chen Qingyu finally confirmed:
The mysterious token left behind by the Saint King Chenliu was indeed made of this kind of black stone, with almost all the same properties, even the same weight.
The token in his hand, though small, weighed as much as half a mountain.
The black stone in Emperor Yuan's treasury is much larger, large enough to be used to forge hundreds of tokens, which is why it is so heavy.
The ore of Divine Punishment Refined Iron is said to have been formed when a meteorite from outer space bombarded the land and was imbued with celestial power.
And what about this material? Could it also have come from beyond the heavens? And how did it fall into the hands of Emperor Yuan?
What would the Holy Venerable of the Sage Evolution Palace need this material for? To forge Divine Weapon?
Countless thoughts raced through Chen Qingyu's mind, yet he could find no answers.
He strongly suspected that this thing might be the core of that meteorite from millions of years ago, but it was only a suspicion, and he had no evidence.
However, it can at least be concluded that there is some kind of mysterious connection between the two.
call!
After pondering for a moment, he let out a long breath, temporarily suppressing the chaotic thoughts in his mind, and put the black stone back into the brocade box.
Alright, let's take this out first and then find another opportunity to investigate.
At this point in my mind:
Without further delay, he took the brocade box down from the shelf.
The brocade box itself appears to be a rare treasure, capable of withstanding unimaginable weight without showing any signs of damage.
Chen Qingyu strode out, carrying the ebony brocade box.
Shaojun!
Outside the gates of the Golden Hall, the old man in white robes greeted Chen Qingyu with a smile as he emerged.
Shaojun, have you finished your selection?
Um.
Chen Qingyu nodded, handed over the ebony brocade box, and said:
This is it.
this
The white-robed elder paused for a moment, seemingly knowing what was inside the brocade box, and asked curiously:
Shaojun, are you sure you want this stone?
He had assumed that Chen Shaojun would choose the original version of the " Myriad Origins Life-Seizing Void-Crossing True Scripture " annotated by Emperor Yuan, or a divine weapon Divine Weapon Mystic Artifact at the Saint King level.
Unexpectedly, Chen Shaojun chose a stone.
good.
Chen Qingyu nodded slightly and asked calmly:
I found this item quite peculiar and thought it might be useful, so I chose it.
Does Your Excellency know the origin of this stone in the Emperor Yuan's treasury?
Well
The white-robed elder hesitated for a moment before cautiously speaking:
I don't know its exact origin, but it is said to be a treasure brought by the Emperor Lord from his hometown.
However, this stone has no other use besides being extremely heavy, because it is too solid to be used to forge the embryo of Divine Weapon and Mystic Artifact.
Oh? From the hometown of Emperor Yuan?
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu couldn't help but reveal a thoughtful expression.
The white-robed old man's words aroused even more doubts in his mind:
Since this item cannot be used to forge Divine Weapon Mystic Artifact, what does the Holy Venerable of the Sage Evolution Palace need it for?
Shaojun.
At this moment, the white-robed elder spoke politely:
Please hand this item to me so that I can lift the spell on it.
Otherwise, the Shaojun wouldn't have been able to take it away.
good!
Chen Qingyu nodded slightly and handed the ebony brocade box in his hand to the white-robed old man.
The white-robed elder accepted the brocade box, cast dozens of spells, and wisps of white light flashed inside and outside the box before disappearing.
It's done.
The old man in white smiled slightly, handed the brocade box back to him, and gestured:
Shaojun, please proceed. Do not forget the time for your audience with the Emperor Lord.
I will personally go to invite Shaojun tomorrow morning.
Okay, thank you for your help.
Chen Qingyu spoke politely, then immediately put away the brocade box and hurriedly flew away along the same route.
Half an hour later:
He returned to his palace and saw Zhang Yanqing again.
Shaojun, how is it?
Upon seeing him, Zhang Yanqing eagerly stood up and pressed him for an answer:
Have you received the item yet?
certainly.
Chen Qingyu sat down, took out the brocade box, opened it, and revealed the dark, mysterious stone inside.
This is it!
Zhang Yanqing's expression immediately brightened, and she smiled and said:
Shaojun is indeed a man of his word!
As she spoke, she reached out to take the ebony brocade box away.
etc!
Chen Qingyu waved his hand, signaling her to calm down for the time being.
Um?
Zhang Yanqing was taken aback for a moment, and then she heard Chen Qingyu speak again:
I want to ask
Chen Qingyu's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice:
What exactly is the purpose of this thing?
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yanqing couldn't help but give a wry smile:
I'm sorry, I cannot answer your question, Shaojun.
I was merely ordered to complete the transaction with Shaojun and obtain this item.
As for what the Holy Lord wants with this stone, if he doesn't tell us, who would dare to ask?
Chen Qingyu paused for a moment, then nodded and said:
All right.
He handed the ebony brocade box to Zhang Yanqing.
Zhang Yanqing seemed to have anticipated the weight of the object, and deliberately used her True Gang to catch it steadily before placing it into her spatial ring.
Shaojun.
Her expression turned serious, and she spoke:
Now that I have the item, I won't hide it anymore.
The remains of the Saint King Chenliu are currently in the Emperor Yuan Palace! To be precise, they are in the hands of the Saint King Tianchen!
real?
Chen Qingyu was immediately deeply moved.
Although he had suspected it beforehand, receiving the news still shocked him.
Do you have proof?
He frowned and asked another question.
certainly!
Zhang Yanqing said definitively:
I won't lie to you, we once sent people to secretly infiltrate Seven Springs Mountain outside Central Capital Yangchuan, in an attempt to steal the remains of your ancestor.
But when we arrived, we found the coffin empty; the body had long since vanished!
Our first suspicion fell on the Emperor Yuan Palace. After all, in the whole world, besides us, only they had the ability to steal the body without alerting the Chen Clan!
For this matter, the Holy Venerable once personally dispatched an avatar to the Emperor Yuan Palace to inquire.
