As soon as he finished speaking:
The scattering blue light instantly condensed into a command token, which hovered in mid-air.
"This..."
Chen Qingyu's expression faltered slightly.
"They're here!"
The Quasi-Emperor Shangdang, who was standing nearby, quickly stood up and said:
" Quasi-Emperor Qinghe is a Peak Quasi-Emperor from the Qingchen Zhao Clan, a truly important figure!"
"He only came in person because of you, Brother Taiyu!"
Upon hearing this, the Quasi-Emperor Canliu to the side, also beamed with excitement.
"That's really great news!"
Along the way:
Wasn't all that effort to get closer to Chen Qingyu just for this moment?
He knew perfectly well that a reincarnated Quasi-Emperor was far more powerful than him!
If he wants to stand out in the upcoming battle for the Divine Throne, his only way is to latch onto this powerful patron.
"Brother Qingyu!"
He turned to look at Chen Qingyu and said with a smile:
"Let's go, don't keep Quasi-Emperor Qinghe waiting."
"Um."
Chen Qingyu nodded slightly, reached out and beckoned, and the cyan token in mid-air immediately fell into his palm.
Immediately afterwards:
The command token emitted a beam of blue light, indicating the way.
"Brother Liu, we'll be taking our leave now."
The Quasi-Emperor Canliu gave a greeting.
"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back."
The Quasi-Emperor Shangdang smiled and nodded in acknowledgment.
soon:
Chen Qingyu and Quasi-Emperor Canliu followed the blue light emitted from the command token and left the Heavenly Palace.
Above the sea of clouds:
Guided by the blue light, they flew past numerous palaces and ventured deeper into the sea of clouds.
This blue light was not just a simple guide; it seemed to be some kind of credential, which is why the journey was unimpeded.
Many of the passing beams of light, upon seeing the cyan talisman, showed expressions of surprise and envy, clearly understanding its significance.
Fifteen minutes later:
The azure light lingered on a magnificent palace standing amidst the sea of clouds, with its flying eaves, brackets, and carved dragons and phoenixes, its entire structure displaying the color of azure wood.
The plaque above the hall bears the four ancient characters " Qinghe Heavenly Palace ".
"Arrive."
Chen Qingyu released his grip, watching the cyan talisman in his hand vanish into nothingness as it dissolved into spiritual light. (Meow Meow said...)
He straightened his clothes and calmly ascended the steps.
The Quasi-Emperor Canliu was somewhat nervous, unconsciously falling half a step behind him and following beside him.
Entering the hall:
Looking around, a tall, imposing middle-aged man wearing a jade crown sat behind a wooden table, scrutinizing the two of them.
"Greetings, Quasi-Emperor Qinghe!"
Quasi-Emperor Canliu immediately bowed and paid his respects, showing a hint of deference.
"Greetings, Quasi-Emperor Qinghe."
Chen Qingyu remained calm and composed, offering a respectful but not servile bow.
"Um."
Quasi-Emperor Qinghe nodded in acknowledgment, his gaze sweeping past Quasi-Emperor Canliu before lingering on Chen Qingyu for a moment before speaking:
Please have a seat.
The two sat down on the blue rattan chairs in the hall, and a servant in blue robes served them two cups of heavenly dew.
" Liu Changfeng, Quasi-Emperor Canliu."
Quasi-Emperor Qinghe looked first at Quasi-Emperor Canliu and said calmly:
"Previously, our Holy Protection Alliance personally tried to recruit you, but you resolutely refused, citing your inability to abandon your Lineage."
"Now, the opening of the Divine Throne is imminent, yet you have returned..."
Upon hearing this, the Quasi-Emperor Canliu showed a hint of embarrassment on his face and said in a low voice:
"I'm sorry to have made Quasi-Emperor Qinghe look foolish."
He didn't bother to explain, because he knew it was pointless.
"Um."
As expected, Quasi-Emperor Qinghe didn't say much, only calmly stating:
"Now that you have settled the Yinshan Liu Clan, it is as if you are joining my Holy Protection Alliance all alone."
"Without subordinates available for the alliance to allocate, you lose your priority in obtaining a spot. You're a veteran Quasi-Emperor of the Kunyu Continent; you should know the rules."
The Quasi-Emperor Canliu remained expressionless, bowing his head as he said:
"Yes, we will follow the alliance's arrangements."
Joining an alliance alone is different from joining an alliance with a large number of followers.
For the latter, all major alliances will offer certain preferential treatment;
If it's a well-established, long-standing Quasi-Emperor- level power with a strong subordinate force, then they might even be able to directly obtain a spot, securing it once and for all.
"Um."
Quasi-Emperor Qinghe nodded slightly, then stopped looking at him and turned his gaze to Chen Qingyu, who was standing to the side.
"You are the Quasi-Emperor Taiyu?"
A hint of interest appeared on his face, and he politely began:
"I wonder where the Quasi-Emperor Taiyu cultivated himself before?"
The moment he saw Chen Qingyu, he basically judged in his mind that this person was definitely an extremely powerful Quasi-Emperor reincarnated.
Putting everything else aside, her age alone is irrefutable evidence.
He still held great respect for the former Peak Quasi-Emperor, after all, face is something you give to each other.
He could disregard insignificant figures like the Quasi-Emperor Canliu and the Quasi-Emperor Shangdang, but even Emperor Venerable Peak Quasi-Emperor some face.
"Before my reincarnation, I cultivated on a medium-sized continent near the Red Sea Continent and also ventured out to sea, but I had never been to the Kunyu Continent."
Chen Qingyu appeared calm and revealed the background he had fabricated long ago:
"After my reincarnation, I have been cultivating on a small island."
That continent was once also the cultivation ground of Quasi-Emperor Shengyuan.
"Oh?"
Quasi-Emperor Qinghe immediately changed.
As Chen Qingyu expected, he was immediately drawn to the news of the Quasi-Emperor Shengyuan.
" Quasi-Emperor Taiyu..."
A hint of concern appeared on the face of the Quasi-Emperor Qinghe:
Have you ever met Quasi-Emperor Shengyuan? What is his current condition?
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu shook his head and said:
"More than a year ago, Quasi-Emperor Shengyuan passed away at the end of his life."
"He passed away peacefully at the end of his lifespan?"
Quasi-Emperor Qinghe paused, remained silent for a moment, then shook his head and sighed.
"What a pity."
"Both the Quasi-Emperor Shengyuan and the Quasi-Emperor Shenyu of yesteryear were renowned super geniuses in Kunyu, equally brilliant, and both had the potential to ascend to the Emperor Venerable."
"Unfortunately, these two had Blood Sea and an irreconcilable conflict, ultimately resulting in mutual destruction and eternal regret."
Judging by Lifespan:
The injuries sustained by the Quasi-Emperor Shengyuan back then probably never fully healed, preventing him from making progress in his Dao Path and ultimately leading to his early demise.
"That's right!"
Quasi-Emperor Qinghe suddenly seemed to remember something and pressed for an answer:
"After the passing of the Quasi-Emperor Shengyuan, is it possible for him to be resurrected?"
The resurrection of the Corpse Demon means a complete transformation of its life form, equivalent to being reborn.
In this situation, most injuries sustained Dao Path can begin to heal or be overcome.
If Quasi-Emperor Shengyuan were to be resurrected after death, it would be very noteworthy, after all, he was an unprecedented genius who had reached the Divine Origin Realm!
"I was just about to bring this up with Quasi-Emperor Qinghe."
Chen Qingyu's expression turned serious, and he said in a deep voice:
"After the Quasi-Emperor Shengyuan passed away, he did indeed revive; but what reviveed was not his true self, but rather the dark side of his inner demons."
