The reason is simple.
Emperor Venerable Qinglu's expression was solemn as he spoke, enunciating each word clearly:
"I suspect this whole thing is a trap from beginning to end."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu was startled:
"A trap? Does Your Emperor Venerable mean... there's something wrong with that descendant of Great Emperor Kunyu?"
"Good."
Emperor Venerable Qinglu slowly spoke:
"Tens of thousands of years ago, after Baihua, Ziyuan, and I joined forces to defeat that powerful enemy, we carefully investigated her origins."
Ultimately, we came to a conclusion.
"The reason why no one has been able to find the direct descendants of Great Emperor Kunyu for millions of years is that they may have left the Myriad Dharma Dao Domain and gone to other Dao Domains."
Chen Qingyu's expression shifted:
"It's actually in another Dao Domain..."
"Right."
Emperor Venerable Qinglu nodded and said:
"For ordinary Emperor Venerable, crossing the Dao Domain is extremely difficult. Even with the methods left behind by Great Emperor Kunyu, it is by no means easy."
"From this, we can judge that her taking such a great risk to break into the Divine Throne was definitely not a random, reckless act."
"I even suspect that her actions being exposed, her capture and control by numerous Emperor Venerable, were all premeditated."
She paused for a moment, then continued:
"Besides, some of the initial intelligence she provided after the Emperor Venerable's War ended and she was placed under joint custody by the five major alliances also had problems."
"At least in some places, the information doesn't match the intelligence I previously had."
"Considering these two major points of suspicion, I began to suspect that this was a setup she had orchestrated..."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu suddenly understood.
The opportunity she gained after the three sisters besieged and killed the wicked Lord of the Great Void was the foundation of her rise and her greatest secret.
She couldn't possibly tell the other Emperor Venerable about this.
The descendant of Great Emperor Kunyu probably didn't expect her to be such a variable, which led to him revealing his true colors.
" Emperor Venerable..."
Chen Qingyu snapped out of his daze, frowned slightly, and asked:
"Then what is her purpose?"
Emperor Venerable Qinglu shook his head and said:
"I'm not entirely sure either, but based on the few clues we found initially, it seems that the descendants of Great Emperor Kunyu are not a monolithic entity."
"Or rather, they had long since split apart over the course of time."
"This descendant now represents either herself or the will of a certain group of descendants."
As she spoke, she looked at Chen Qingyu and said solemnly:
"But whatever her purpose, I can tell she's definitely up to no good and is harboring a conspiracy."
"That's why I don't want you to get involved with her, lest you end up getting stuck in a quagmire and unable to extricate yourself."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu nodded and said:
"I see."
" Your Emperor Venerable, rest assured, I will not get involved in this battle over the distribution of profits."
"Um."
Emperor Venerable Qinglu nodded slightly and gave instructions:
"Now, with the appearance of this descendant of Kunyu, the situation is becoming clearer, and the competition among the five alliances is becoming increasingly fierce."
"I estimate that our opportunity to make our move will come in a year or two at most."
You need to be prepared.
Chen Qingyu nodded solemnly, watching the figure of Emperor Venerable Qinglu transform into streaks of azure light and dissipate.
After she left:
Chen Qingyu sighed, turned his head to look towards the depths of the sea of clouds, his eyes deep and thoughtful.
"These are turbulent times..."
Time flies like an arrow, and the days slip by like a shuttle.
As time goes by:
The news of the appearance of the descendant of the Great Emperor Kunyu quickly spread throughout the entire Kunyu Continent, causing a huge sensation.
The trillion-mile continent, the five major alliances, and countless Quasi-Emperor are all extremely concerned about this matter and are trying every means to get involved.
Unfortunately:
The numerous Emperor Venerable have reached a preliminary consensus on how to deal with the descendants of Great Emperor Kunyu, and the vast majority of Quasi-Emperor are destined to have no chance.
After meeting with Emperor Venerable Qinglu, Chen Qingyu kept a low profile and stopped paying attention to the matter.
Against this backdrop:
One month later--
Fifteen Peak Quasi-Emperor from the five major alliances, under the watchful eyes of numerous Emperor Venerable, engaged in a clandestine duel in a secret location.
The outcome of this battle, as well as the specific distribution of related benefits after the war, was not made public, and most Quasi-Emperor had no way of knowing about it.
And after this battle:
On the surface, the situation on the Kunyu Continent has returned to calm, with many Quasi-Emperor seizing the opportunity to explore the Divine Throne and compete for opportunities.
In this process, many Quasi-Emperor fell, new powerhouses rose, and the secret realms and minor worlds of the first three levels were broken one by one, leading to increasingly fierce competition and battles.
In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.
One day, six months later.
"Call..."
Chen Qingyu sat cross-legged in the meditation room, his breathing deep and long, surrounded by a surge of powerful star energy.
After an unknown amount of time:
He suddenly opened his eyes, exhaled a breath of stale air, and a flash of light appeared in his eyes.
The vast, boundless aura surrounding him receded like the tide, slowly receding and disappearing into his Divine Treasure.
"We've finally reached the Fifth Heaven of Void Penetration..."
Sensing the renewed surge of Divine Treasure power, Chen Qingyu couldn't help but smile.
In the past six months:
He entered the Divine Throne multiple times to explore, relying on the power of the Dao of Myriad Calamities to analyze the trials of secret realms and minor worlds and to compete for opportunities, making him far stronger than ordinary Quasi-Emperor.
It can be said that his ability to search for opportunities and treasures is more than ten times that of Quasi-Emperor of the same level, which is why he has obtained so much.
He donated most of the treasures he had accumulated to the Holy Protection Alliance in exchange for seven Star Soul Life-Creation Pill. Combined with the Taihao Core, this allowed his cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds.
Cultivation at the Void Penetration Realm is far more difficult than at the Zhoutian Realm.
In just six months, he broke through four realms in succession, reaching the fifth level of the Void Penetration Realm, and his strength increased greatly once again.
"Now, the power of my Divine Treasure alone is already comparable to that of most Peak Quasi-Emperor."
"In terms of true combat strength, apart from the Void King, there are no other rivals below the Emperor Venerable!"
Thinking of this, Chen Qingyu couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
During the past six months of exploration:
He also encountered many insurmountable secret realms, which he eventually had to give up on; he also fought against many Quasi-Emperor, killing some fools who didn't know what was good for them, and his fearsome reputation spread far and wide.
His displayed strength grew stronger and stronger, reaching the level of a typical Peak Quasi-Emperor;
From the outside, the speed at which he recovered his strength was incredible; he had regained his former glory and become a formidable powerhouse among the five major alliances.
However, from the perspective of the higher-ups in the Holy Protection Alliance:
He has clearly not yet reached the pinnacle, at least not the level of the Void King, so he is still receiving a lot of support, and we look forward to his continued growth.
"Um?"
At this moment, Chen Qingyu seemed to sense something, and his expression changed slightly:
"This attraction has become even stronger..."
