soon:
Chen Qingyu, along with the surviving members of the Saint Legion and Quasi-Emperor Canliu and others, traversed the void and left White Crane Valley.
After flying for half a day--
The group returned safely to the headquarters of the Holy Protection Alliance.
Chen Qingyu first went to the Gate of Ten Thousand Saints to return the Saint Legion, then parted ways with Quasi-Emperor Canliu and the others, heading alone to the Qinghe Heavenly Palace.
A moment later:
Deep within the sea of clouds, in the Qinghe Heavenly Palace.
"Brother Qinghe."
After Chen Qingyu took his seat, he flicked his sleeves, and six divine lights flew out, illuminating the palace with dazzling brilliance.
"I have fulfilled my mission."
Seeing this, Quasi-Emperor Qinghe smiled slightly and said:
Congratulations, Brother Taiyu.
"With this resounding victory, you've secured your place on the Kunyu Divine Throne."
As he spoke, a look of inquiry crossed his face, and he asked earnestly:
"Brother Taiyu, have you confirmed that person's true identity?"
It's obvious:
He didn't care about the mere six spots; his congratulations were only to save face for Chen Qingyu. His real concern was only for the Emperor Yuan's Inner Demon.
"Brother Qinghe's information is extremely accurate."
Chen Qingyu put away the six divine lights and nodded, saying:
"I can confirm with 100% certainty that person is the dark side of the inner demon that revived after the death of the Quasi-Emperor Shengyuan!"
"Yeah..."
Upon hearing this, Quasi-Emperor Qinghe's eyes flickered, and he pressed for an answer:
"Brother Taiyu, did you see clearly the power of the Dao Path he used?"
"Um."
Chen Qingyu responded and said:
"His Dao Path is extremely strange, completely different from that of Quasi-Emperor Shengyuan. He seems to possess some kind of power to manipulate minds and distort souls," said Miaomiao.
Upon hearing his words, Quasi-Emperor Qinghe frowned deeply and let out a long sigh:
"This is really bad..."
"Our Holy Protection Alliance is about to gain another formidable enemy!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu's expression shifted slightly, and he inquired:
"What do you mean by that, Brother Qinghe?"
He had previously met with Quasi-Emperor Qinghe, but fearing his identity would be exposed, he did not ask directly.
However, he later subtly inquired with Quasi-Emperor Canliu and others, only to find that they were also unaware of the secret behind it. Now, he could only directly ask Quasi-Emperor Qinghe.
As for the possibility of revealing our true colors, we can only choose the lesser of two evils.
After all, as long as his strength continues to progress at a rapid pace, this lie can continue indefinitely until it becomes the truth.
"Well..."
Quasi-Emperor Qinghe paused for a moment, puzzled, and asked:
"Brother Taiyu, are you perhaps unaware of this?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu remained calm and composed, saying:
"I come from a medium-sized continent and have spent my whole life in my hometown. My knowledge is limited, so please forgive my ignorance, Brother Qinghe."
"Yeah..."
Upon hearing this, the Quasi-Emperor Qinghe gave him a deep look, remained silent for a moment, and then spoke:
"Since Brother Taiyu wants to know, then I may tell you."
"My deep fear of the inner demons of this Quasi-Emperor Shengyuan stems from the worry that he might become the second ' Void King '!"
Chen Qingyu was stunned for a moment:
" Void King?"
"Good!"
Quasi-Emperor Qinghe said in a deep voice:
"In my Kunyu Continent, there has never been a super genius who has reached the Divine Origin Realm in this era, nor have any of the other major continents."
"Only in the Sun-Chasing Continent, in this era, is there a Peak Quasi-Emperor the Divine Origin Realm, known as the ' Void King '!"
"This Quasi-Emperor Void King is incredibly powerful, practically invincible among Quasi-Emperor. Even a thousand Quasi-Emperor working together wouldn't be a match for him, and he could even contend with a recently promoted Emperor Venerable!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu was deeply shaken, and his expression changed slightly.
"That terrifying?"
It's important to understand that the difference Peak Quasi-Emperor Venerable is seemingly only a step away, but in reality, they are worlds apart.
Even at the Peak Quasi-Emperor, one is still within the scope of the [ Four Divine Treasury Realms ], and is still in the Extreme Transformation Realm. One has not truly transcended all living beings and opened up one's own path.
As for the Emperor Venerable, he has already transcended the orthodox cultivation system and is an existence on a completely different level. The power he possesses is beyond the imagination of even Quasi-Emperor.
This was the first time he had ever heard of Peak Quasi-Emperor realm, capable of contending with Emperor Venerable!
"Well!"
Quasi-Emperor Qinghe sighed:
"This Quasi-Emperor Void King Kong Wang is exceptionally talented. Not only has he reached the Divine Origin Realm, but it is also said that he achieved the Peak Quasi-Emperor thousands of years ago and could break through to Emperor Venerable at any time."
"But he did not break through; instead, he remained at the Quasi-Emperor level, constantly refining himself and forging his Dao Path."
"His current understanding of the laws is so profound that it even surpasses that of many Emperor Venerable, and his power on the Dao Path is terrifyingly strong!"
Chen Qingyu frowned, puzzled, and asked:
"Since he could have broken through long ago, why didn't he break through to Emperor Venerable?"
Quasi-Emperor Qinghe remained expressionless and spoke:
"His refusal to break through is naturally for the legendary Third Divine Realm!"
Chen Qingyu's heart jolted, and his pupils contracted:
" The Third Divine Realm?"
"Good!"
Quasi-Emperor Qinghe and said:
"Since there are first and Second Divine Realm, then naturally there must be Third Divine Realm!"
"Legend has it that above the [ Four Divine Treasury Realms ], there is Fifth Divine Treasury Realm, which is the Third Divine Realm after the Divine Shore Realm and the Divine Origin Realm!"
He paused, then shook his head and said:
"It's just a pity."
" The First Divine Realm isn't too rare, and in every era, there are always one or two at the Second Divine Realm."
"But the Third Divine Realm —not only have I never heard of it, but I've never even seen it, let alone recorded it. Everything about it exists in ancient myths and legends."
"Let alone the abilities of the Third Divine Realm or how to achieve it, we don't even know the name of the Third Divine Realm. Some Quasi-Emperor even doubt whether this Third Divine Realm truly exists."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu was deeply moved and couldn't help but say:
"In that Myriad Dharma Dao Domain, has anyone ever reached the Third Divine Realm?"
Quasi-Emperor Qinghe solemnly said:
"No."
"There are no clear records of any."
"Tracing back through countless years of history, among countless generations of Quasi-Emperor and Emperor Venerable, not a single one has been able to ascend to the Third Divine Realm."
He paused slightly at this point, his gaze becoming profound:
"It is said that Great Emperor Kunyu once ascended to the Third Divine Realm, which is why he was able to ultimately achieve the unprecedented and unparalleled Half-Step Heavenly Lord realm!"
But this is ultimately just a legend, and there's no way to verify it.
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu suddenly realized and said:
"I see."
"The reason why the Quasi-Emperor Void King refuses to ascend to the Realm of Creation is that he is waiting for the Kunyu Divine Throne to open, hoping to find an opportunity to ascend to the Third Divine Realm?"
"Right."
Quasi-Emperor Qinghe and said:
"He waited for thousands of years, only to pursue a vague and elusive hope."
"Even if he is not yet ten thousand years old, he will be old and frail by the time he reaches thirty thousand years old. Therefore, this battle for the Kunyu Divine Throne is his last chance!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu couldn't help but take a deep breath and say:
"Then why are you worried that the inner demons of the Holy Yuan Qinghe -Quasi-Emperor Shengyuan might become the second Void King?"
You provided the starting sign-in rewards for the legendary Zhuang Shisan, featuring Chen Qingyu from the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Transformations Zhuang Shisan.
