Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu's expression turned serious, and he bowed, saying:
"Greetings to the Quasi-Emperor Shangdang."
"I dare not accept such courtesy; Quasi-Emperor Taiyu is courteous."
The old man in the hemp robe returned the greeting, looked him up and down, and a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes:
"This... may I ask how old Quasi-Emperor Taiyu is?"
He seemed to realize his mistake as soon as he finished speaking, and quickly said:
" Quasi-Emperor Taiyu; it was my presumption that led to this. I hope you will forgive my rudeness."
"Your vitality is truly like the rising sun, so powerful it has shaken my spirit and caused me to lose my composure for a moment..."
Although he offered this explanation, he was still secretly alarmed.
The reason is simple--
It was Chen Qingyu's vibrant life force, like a newly sprouted spring bud, that was truly captivating.
Any Quasi-Emperor in this situation would easily tell that this person must be extremely young to exhibit such a peculiar phenomenon.
"Hehe..."
Seeing this, the Quasi-Emperor Canliu smiled slightly and quietly transmitted a few words.
"This!"
The old man in the hemp robe's expression changed; he was deeply shocked and couldn't help but say:
"So, the Quasi-Emperor Taiyu was actually Peak Quasi-Emperor who was reincarnated and rebuilt!"
"Forgive my poor eyesight, I truly failed to recognize the moon in the clouds, and almost offended Quasi-Emperor Taiyu!"
His attitude had changed dramatically compared to before, even showing a hint of respect.
no way:
A peak Peak Quasi-Emperor —what an extraordinary figure that is!
Normally, even emperors Quasi-Emperor Canliu Quasi-Emperor Shangdang wouldn't have the right to pay them a visit.
He was already extremely grateful to have been able to establish a connection, especially at this crucial juncture when the battle for the Divine Throne was about to begin.
Brother Liu.
The Quasi-Emperor Canliu, standing to the side, reminded him:
"It's not appropriate for us to stand here indefinitely."
"Why don't we come to your place first and wait for news from the Holy Protection Alliance?"
Upon hearing this, the old man in the hemp robe immediately realized what was happening and showed a hint of apology.
"Brother Liu is right; I had not considered this carefully."
As he spoke, he gestured with his hand:
"Brother Liu, please, Quasi-Emperor Taiyu."
Chen Qingyu nodded in acknowledgment, and immediately followed the Quasi-Emperor Shangdang and the Quasi-Emperor Canliu, riding the escape light to the sky and the sea of clouds.
soon:
Led by the Quasi-Emperor Shangdang, Chen Qingyu and his companion flew all the way to his palace, the Heavenly Pavilion.
Above the sea of clouds, each palace and pavilion is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, exquisite and luxurious, with its own unique characteristics, and is also equipped with a large number of servants and maids to serve it.
"Brother Liu, Quasi-Emperor Taiyu, please be seated."
The Quasi-Emperor Shangdang warmly invited the two to sit down.
After the two were seated, a stunningly beautiful maidservant immediately served them elixirs, spiritual fruits and flowers, and two cups of spiritual tea brewed with heavenly dew.
The Quasi-Emperor Shangdang picked up his spirit tea and spoke earnestly:
"I have already reported your matter to the important figures in our alliance."
"It shouldn't be long before someone from above sends someone to invite you two over."
Upon hearing this, the Quasi-Emperor Canliu chuckled and said:
"Thank you for your help, Brother Liu."
Upon hearing this, the Quasi-Emperor Shangdang shook his head and said:
"It's such a small thing, just a simple favor, why call it trouble?"
"Furthermore, both of you are Quasi-Emperor, and Brother Taiyu is even a reincarnation of Peak Quasi-Emperor. Whichever side allies with you, you will absolutely welcome them with open arms."
Chen Qingyu smiled and casually asked:
"Which faction within the alliance received us?"
"Um..."
The Quasi-Emperor Shangdang pondered for a moment, then slowly said:
"Currently, there are eight powerful forces at the Emperor Venerable level within the alliance, dominating the entire Holy Protection Alliance."
"Among them, the most powerful is naturally the Qingchen Zhao Clan, with three Emperor Venerable presiding over them, making them the undisputed number one family in the Kunyu Continent."
As he spoke, he looked at Chen Qingyu and added:
"Of course, if it were an ordinary Quasi-Emperor seeking refuge, it wouldn't require the Qingchen Zhao Clan to intervene."
"However, Brother Taiyu's identity is extraordinary. I reckon there's a high chance a prominent figure from the Zhao Clan will personally greet you!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu's expression shifted slightly, and he inquired:
"I am quite curious about the Qingchen Zhao Clan. I wonder if Brother Liu could tell me more about them."
In fact:
Although he had never been to the Kunyu Continent, he had indeed heard of the Qingchen Zhao Clan.
When he was adventuring in the Void Universe Star Sea, he made friends with many geniuses from the Myriad Dharma Dao Domain in the Pavilion of Stars. One of them claimed to be from the Qingchen Zhao Clan Kunyu Continent.
He didn't pay much attention at the time and didn't try to find out, since he figured they wouldn't have much contact in the future.
But what he didn't expect was:
It's only been a little over a year, and he's already preparing to deal with the Qingchen Zhao Clan.
"Of course!"
The Quasi-Emperor Shangdang felt a slight surge of joy. After carefully considering his tone, he spoke:
" The Qingchen Zhao Clan has a history spanning hundreds of thousands of years. Whether in terms of historical origins or fundamental strength, it is second to none in the Kunyu Continent."
" The Zhao Clan's lineage is primarily based on the Dao of Primordial Unity, supplemented by the Dao of the Five Elements, the Dao of Stars, the Dao of Thunder, and so on. The clan boasts three Emperor Venerable and dozens of Quasi-Emperor."
"The current head of the Zhao Clan's three patriarchs, the ' Great Emperor Hunyuan,' is even rumored to be the most supreme being on the Kunyu Continent..."
The Quasi-Emperor Shangdang spoke at length, clearly very familiar with the Qingchen Zhao Clan.
After he finished speaking:
Chen Qingyu nodded slightly and said politely:
"Thank you very much, Brother Liu, for clearing up my doubts."
"Brother Taiyu, you're too kind."
Quasi-Emperor Shangdang laughed heartily, clearly in a good mood.
Brother Liu!
The Quasi-Emperor Canliu interjected:
"I don't know, did you get a spot?"
Upon hearing this, the Quasi-Emperor Shangdang's smile vanished instantly, and he shook his head and sighed:
"It's tough! The competition is too fierce!"
"I've been with the Holy Protection Alliance for over ten years, and I've only managed two opportunities to play, one draw and one loss. I still haven't accumulated enough merit to redeem a spot."
"Many good opportunities are not available to outsiders like us."
"It's said that this battle for the Divine Throne has gathered nearly three thousand Quasi-Emperor -emperors!"
"There are still only 1,024 spots available to enter the inner sanctum of the Divine Throne. More than half will be eliminated and will have to wait for future opportunities..."
Upon hearing this, the Quasi-Emperor Canliu frowned slightly:
"I never imagined the situation would be even worse than I anticipated..."
Listening to their conversation:
Thoughts raced through Chen Qingyu's mind, and a sense of understanding gradually emerged.
It is obvious:
In the preliminary battles to determine the allocation of spots, the five alliances did not engage in a chaotic free-for-all, but rather formed a tacit understanding and established rules.
From this perspective--
It seems that the opportunity to fight is still very rare for many Quasi-Emperor, and they even have to compete internally and rely on connections.
"Um?"
At that very moment:
A streak of azure light pierced through the spatial barrier and descended upon the Quasi-Emperor Shangdang:
"Edict of Quasi-Emperor Qinghe!"
A clear, cold voice echoed through the blue light:
" Quasi-Emperor Taiyu and Quasi-Emperor Canliu to the Qinghe Heavenly Palace for an audience!"
