The next day, early morning.
As soon as Chen Qingyu left the living quarters, he saw the white-robed old man who was already waiting outside the palace gate.
Your Excellency is courteous.
Chen Qingyu politely bowed with his hands clasped in greeting.
You're too kind Shaojun.
The old man in white robes smiled and bowed, indicating:
Shaojun, please follow me. The Emperor Lord is already waiting for you.
good.
Chen Qingyu nodded happily and followed behind the white-robed elder, riding the escape light and flying away.
The two first followed the route taken yesterday, flying for half an hour before changing direction and heading deeper into the Emperor Yuan Palace.
Not long after:
The two passed through layers of corridors and pavilions, arriving at a rather peculiar doorway.
Is this Dragon Gate?
Chen Qingyu stopped his escape light, glanced at the portal a few times, and couldn't help but reveal a strange expression.
Look closely:
The gate in front of them was only ten zhang high, arched, and gray in color, seemingly cast from some kind of stone.
At first glance, it seems unremarkable.
However, with just a slight sense, one can perceive that this door contains some kind of breathtaking and mysterious power, giving one an indescribable feeling of longing.
This yearning, seemingly as ordinary as the instinctive craving for food and water, seems quite mystical to some.
Yes, this is Dragon Gate!
The old man in white robes stroked his beard and smiled:
In the Emperor Lord's hometown, there are legends about the Supreme Dragon Gate.
In legend, all living beings in the world can undergo a transformative metamorphosis and gain incredible power once they cross the Dragon Gate.
The Dragon Gate that the Emperor Lord forged was modeled after the legendary Supreme Dragon Gate.
Although it cannot compare to the legendary divine object, those who pass through the Dragon Gate for the first time can still gain considerable benefits.
For 30,000 years, apart from the Emperor Lord's personal disciples and a very few outstanding successors, only the leaders of the Dragon Gate Dharma Assembly in successive generations have been able to step through this gate and pay homage to the Emperor Lord.
As he spoke, he looked at Chen Qingyu and gestured:
Shaojun only needs to possess the Dragon Gate Token Talisman to enter the Dragon Gate.
Um.
Chen Qingyu responded and immediately reached out and took out the Dragon Gate Token Talisman.
Holding the token in his hand, he took a deep breath and slowly stepped forward, quickly approaching the Dragon Gate.
At the moment of passing through the Dragon Gate:
Buzz!
Chen Qingyu trembled, his mind buzzing and vibrating as if a great bell was ringing back and forth.
In that instant, even his consciousness seemed to drift into a daze.
When he came to his senses, he was shocked to find that he had unknowingly crossed the Dragon Gate, and the Dragon Gate Token Talisman in his hand had disappeared without him noticing.
this
He turned around and saw that the old man in white robes was nowhere to be seen. All that remained was a long, dark passage, which startled him.
He withdrew his gaze and subconsciously looked ahead:
What one sees is a beautiful valley with clear waters, lush mountains, and fragrant flowers. Streams flow through the valley, and birds and beasts fly and flap their wings, creating a picturesque scene.
Beyond the Dragon Gate lies a completely new and delightful world.
Is this the place where Emperor Yuan cultivated himself in seclusion?
Chen Qingyu did not rush forward, but instead looked inward at his body, preparing to see what benefits he would gain after crossing the Dragon Gate.
At this moment, within his body, above the Nine Heavens:
The strange constellations from all directions are arranged in order, and their connection to the central Taihao Ziwei star is surprisingly close.
Such changes may seem insignificant, but given his current solid foundation, even this slight improvement is a tremendous benefit.
It seems that the benefits gained after crossing the Dragon Gate are different at each level?
A sudden realization dawned on Chen Qingyu's mind:
With my current True Gang Realm cultivation, the only improvement I'll experience is a smoother process and more powerful abilities when I condense my Innate Divine Ability in the future.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile, and his anticipation for achieving the Divine Ability Realm grew even stronger.
To this day:
The various buffs he received had accumulated to an extremely terrifying level.
boom!
Chen Qingyu composed himself and immediately harnessed his escape light, slowly flying forward along the stream in the valley.
Not long after:
He saw a three-story building built along the stream.
Before the stream, a figure in white sat leisurely fishing by the water, his bare feet wading in the stream.
That was Emperor Yuan?
His eyes flickered slightly, then he descended in a flash of light, walked over on foot, bowed respectfully, and said:
The younger generation, Chen Qingyu, has met Divine Lord Shengyuan.
Upon hearing this, the figure in white turned around and smiled slightly.
No need for formalities, please rise.
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu straightened up and looked at the supreme ruler of all races and the overlord of the Desolate Continent before him.
He was dressed in white, with his white hair flowing down his back. He had a carefree demeanor and a refined and handsome appearance. Although he was only fifteen or sixteen years old, he could be described as having the appearance of a celestial being and the grace of an immortal.
Um
The talisman Great Void Source Power in Chen Qingyu's arms was slightly warm, which stirred something in his heart.
This is the true form of Emperor Yuan, not an avatar!
He lacked the ability to discern the Emperor Yuan's condition, but the Great Void Might clearly had a way to do so.
In his perception, the Emperor Yuan before him seemed to be in a very strange state, his aura as vast as the heavens and earth, yet as deep and resonant as the receding tide of the deep sea.
It seems he has indeed reached the end of his life.
Chen Qingyu felt a mix of emotions he couldn't quite describe.
Please have a seat.
Emperor Yuan held a fishing rod, gesturing for him to sit down.
Chen Qingyu responded and sat down on the stone bench beside him, looking curiously at the fishing rod in his hand.
The stream was clear, but there were no fish or shrimp.
Your name is well-known even to an old man like me.
Emperor Yuan smiled gently and said:
"To see such a prodigy as you before I die is a blessing from heaven," said Meow Meow.
If it had been a few hundred years earlier, I might have taken you in as my last disciple and successor.
Chen Qingyu lowered his head slightly and said humbly:
Your Emperor Lord is too kind.
Ha ha
Emperor Yuan smiled nonchalantly, gazing at the stream before him, and said leisurely:
Tell me, what's the situation like outside?
Chen Qingyu hesitated for a moment, carefully considering his words, before speaking:
A true dragon emerges from the sea, a fierce tiger descends from the mountain; a great battle is inevitable.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Yuan's smile vanished, and he shook his head, saying:
Can a dragon be raised in shallow waters?
My apprentices are all outstanding individuals, and naturally they are unwilling to remain subordinate to others for long, which I had anticipated.
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu couldn't help but speak up:
Your Emperor Lord, you have the well-being of all people at heart; is there truly no way to stop this?
You provided the starting sign-in rewards for the legendary Zhuang Shisan, featuring Chen Qingyu from the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Transformations Zhuang Shisan.
