In an instant:
The jade mirror in Chen Qingyu's hand flashed with a hazy luster, like the faint morning light on the horizon.
A mysterious feeling welled up in Chen Qingyu's heart.
At this moment, the true form of the Supreme Void Eternal World Mirror formed a close connection with him, and his divine sense imprint was deeply engraved into it.
"This..."
Chen Qingyu was taken aback, somewhat caught off guard.
He never expected that refining the true form of the Supreme Void Eternal World Mirror would be so smooth.
According to his understanding:
Even for Quasi-Emperor who inherits the same bloodline and cultivation techniques, it would still take at least ten days to half a month to refine the natal divine Divine Weapon left by their ancestor.
He had only just begun the refining process when, in an instant, he succeeded?!
Something's not right...
Chen Qingyu frowned slightly, instinctively sensing that something was wrong.
" Qingyu."
The Ninth Ancestor, noticing the change in his expression, couldn't help but ask:
Is there a problem?
"Um..."
Chen Qingyu hesitated for a moment, then said:
"The problem is that it's gone too smoothly. I've already successfully refined the original form of the Supreme Void Eternal World Mirror; it's gone by absurdly smoothly."
"This..."
The Ninth Ancestor paused for a moment, then subconsciously said:
"Shouldn't this be good news, since everything is going so smoothly?"
He didn't know much about the Quasi-Emperor, only some of what he had heard from Chen Qingyu, so he didn't think it was a bad thing.
"This may not be good news."
Chen Qingyu shook his head, then used the Great Void Might to channel it into the jade mirror in his hand, preparing to investigate it carefully.
But to his surprise:
After the Great Void Might penetrated deep into the Jade Mirror, a hidden, mysterious message instantly flooded into his mind.
"This!"
He was startled, and after his divine sense received the message, he was stunned:
"This is..."
This mysterious message is very strange; it seems to be in a constant state, yet it is also in constant flux.
He explored it further and concluded that it must be some kind of unusual spatial coordinate, and its changes followed a certain pattern, seemingly corresponding neither to the void nor to the present world.
More noteworthy is:
This coordinate information should have been hidden within the Supreme Void Eternal World Mirror itself for over ten thousand years.
"So, this mysterious message has been passed down from ancient times?"
"If I hadn't refined the true form of the Supreme Void Eternal World Mirror, this information would likely have remained hidden until someone unearthed it..."
Thinking of this, Chen Qingyu's expression shifted slightly, and he asked:
"Ancestor."
"I remember you said that the Supreme Void Eternal World Mirror was bestowed upon you by the Emperor Venerable whom the Kings of High Antiquity served, and was once the natal Mystic Artifact of a certain Peak Quasi-Emperor?"
"Yes."
The Ninth Ancestor nodded affirmatively, then asked with a puzzled look:
Why are you suddenly asking this?
Chen Qingyu's gaze was deep as he slowly spoke:
"After I refined the true form of the Supreme Void Eternal World Mirror, I obtained a mysterious message hidden within it."
"Based on my initial assessment, this should be a special spatial coordinate."
"What?"
The Ninth Ancestor was greatly surprised, his heart trembled, and his expression changed slightly:
"I understand... You suspect that this message was left by that Emperor Venerable?"
"Good!"
Chen Qingyu said in a deep voice:
"Since it was bestowed upon us by that Emperor Venerable, it's certain that the original owner of the Supreme Void Eternal World Mirror is already dead."
"Then this message was most likely left behind by that Emperor Venerable himself."
He paused for a moment, then said:
"As for her intentions, I think it's probably to have a backup plan, to keep a sliver of hope."
According to what the Ninth Ancestor originally said:
The Emperor Venerable whom the Kings of High Antiquity served decided to remain on the Kunyu Continent to actively deal with the great calamity, but he dismissed his retainers and confidants.
It's impossible for an Emperor Venerable to have only a group of Saint King as followers.
It is reasonable to infer that the Quasi-Emperor who followed that Emperor Venerable back then likely went to face the great calamity with her.
However, the great calamity was perilous, and even that Emperor Venerable was not entirely confident, leaving behind numerous contingency plans. The information in the Supreme Void Eternal World Mirror was probably only one of them.
"This..."
The Ninth Ancestor understood Chen Qingyu's meaning, and his brows furrowed:
"So Qingyu, what are you going to do?"
To be honest, he was also somewhat conflicted.
On one hand, that Emperor Venerable had given their ancestors a second chance; if it weren't for her arrangement, there would be no Chen Clan of Changluo. They would naturally repay this kindness if given the opportunity.
On the other hand, he also didn't want Chen Qingyu to risk his life alone just to repay a debt of gratitude.
You must understand, if even Emperor Venerable has little confidence in dealing with a calamity, how dangerous must it be?
"Um..."
Chen Qingyu pondered for a moment, then slowly said:
"That Emperor Venerable left a message, but without any explanation. It was probably just a casual move, and he didn't have high hopes for it."
"After all, while it's possible for a Quasi-Emperor to be born among the descendants of her retainers and confidants, the chances of them becoming Emperor Venerable are far too small, and they probably wouldn't be of much help to her."
"Taking this into account, she only left the coordinates, essentially giving us the choice."
He paused for a moment, then said in a deep voice:
"However, I have decided to leave the Desolate Continent and head to the Kunyu Continent."
The Ninth Ancestor's expression changed, and he couldn't help but advise:
" Qingyu, are you really sure? Don't you want to reconsider?"
"After all, hundreds of thousands of years have passed since the Kings of High Antiquity; what was bound to happen has already happened..."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu shook his head and said:
"Grandpa, there's no need to be nervous."
"My decision to go to sea is not simply to repay this debt of gratitude, but rather a well-thought-out one."
Heading to the Kunyu Continent was a plan he had made long ago, for various reasons.
First, naturally, we must find out the situation of that Emperor Venerable from back then—whether he has perished or something unexpected happened to him.
Secondly, the ninth checkpoint is located on the Kunyu Continent, and he will have to go there sooner or later.
Third, and most importantly:
He and his family were finally reunited, and naturally he wanted to live together forever, without anyone having to leave first due to the passage of time.
What he sought was not only his own Eternity, but also to free his family from the constraints of lifespan.
To achieve this grand goal, he must leave the Desolate Continent, move to a larger stage, and pursue a higher level of power.
This is the path he has chosen for his future!
"I see..."
Looking into his resolute eyes, the Ninth Ancestor finally stopped trying to persuade him, took a deep breath, and said:
"So, when do you plan to leave?"
"The situation on the Desolate Continent has only just stabilized, and we probably still need you."
"If you leave, your great-grandfather, father, and I alone won't be able to control the situation. The Holy Land Alliance will either fall apart or become a mere shell of its former self."
"At that time, not only will the holy lands of the Human Race be tempted to act, but even the holy lands of the four alien races will likely be eager to make a move."
