The two sisters embraced each other in silence, choking back tears several times.
After a long embrace:
" Baihua!"
Emperor Venerable Qinglu released her and said happily:
"It's so good to see you're all safe and sound!"
"I've kept your spirit lamp with me all these years, living in constant fear that I'll never see you again!"
Upon hearing this, the Emperor Venerable Baihua showed a hint of regret on his face.
"I almost thought I would never see you again."
"After we parted ways, I was caught up in the fragments of the Heart of Myriad Realms, and I don't even know how much time passed in a daze..."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Venerable Qinglu's face showed a hint of sadness:
" Baihua of thousands of years have passed outside..."
The Emperor Venerable Baihua was startled, his face turning slightly pale:
"Hundreds of thousands of years?!"
Her consciousness was basically still stuck in the period when she fell into the fragments of the Heart of Myriad Realms, and she could no longer feel the passage of time.
She never expected this:
Emperor Venerable Qinglu persisted for over ten thousand years before finally rescuing her.
With so much time passing, she probably doesn't have much life left, having wasted most of her Lifespan in such a place.
" Baihua."
Emperor Venerable Qinglu noticed her sadness and quickly changed the subject, pointing to Chen Qingyu and saying:
"Come, let me introduce you. This is Quasi-Emperor Taiyu."
"We were able to successfully rescue you thanks to him."
"Speaking of which, he's a descendant of those court jesters you sent off to the Kunyu Continent back then."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, the Emperor Venerable Baihua indeed showed some interest. He turned to look at Chen Qingyu, scrutinized him for a moment, and then hesitated slightly before saying:
"You are... a descendant of Chenliu?"
"Right."
Chen Qingyu nodded and said politely:
"My ancestor was none other than the Saint King Chenliu."
"Back then, he and a group of his peers were able to cross the Sea of Chaos, save their lives, and start anew thanks to your grace."
"My collaboration with Emperor Venerable Qinglu to rescue you is also to repay your kindness and do my part."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Venerable Qinglu immediately smiled and said:
"You're too modest."
"You deserve immense credit for successfully rescuing Baihua this time!"
"If you hadn't passed on the spatial coordinates to me, I wouldn't even have known where Baihua was trapped, let alone how to refine the fragments of the Heart of Myriad Realms. It was all thanks to you."
Hearing her words:
A hint of doubt appeared on the face of the Emperor Venerable Baihua:
"That's exactly what I was about to ask. How did you know I was trapped here?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu and Emperor Venerable Qinglu were both stunned.
" Baihua..."
Emperor Venerable Qinglu frowned slightly and subconsciously said:
"Didn't you use the Primal Spirit of the Supreme Void Eternal World Mirror to transmit the spatial coordinates of your imprisonment?"
Upon hearing this, the Emperor Venerable Baihua said, somewhat bewildered:
"I severed all ties long ago when I gave away the Supreme Void Eternal World Mirror. How could I possibly have such power?"
Upon hearing this statement:
Chen Qingyu was immediately terrified. He exchanged a glance with Emperor Venerable Qinglu and both felt a strange chill.
The crucial spatial coordinates weren't transmitted by the Emperor Venerable Baihua?
Who exactly is it?
"This..."
Emperor Venerable Qinglu frowned, pondered for a moment, and then shook his head, saying:
"Behind this, there are probably mysteries we can't even imagine."
As she spoke, she looked around and said:
"However, this is not a place to stay for long."
" Chen Qingyu, let's leave here first and quietly send Baihua out of the Kunyu Continent."
"The great battle outside is still raging, and we don't know how long it will last. If the other Emperor Venerable discover something amiss, things could get very bad."
In the hearts of the Emperor Venerable of the five major alliances:
The Emperor Venerable Baihua has been dead for hundreds of thousands of years. Her sudden appearance at this moment will surely attract huge attention and controversy. Countless people will be watching her, trying to dig out secrets from her.
It might even further arouse the imaginations of certain Emperor Venerable, arousing their great interest and greed.
Emperor Venerable Qinglu was naturally unwilling to let Emperor Venerable Baihua suffer such treatment, and only hoped to send her away temporarily and then make further plans.
"Um."
Chen Qingyu nodded slightly and said:
" Emperor Venerable Qinglu, Emperor Venerable Baihua, please leave now."
As he spoke, his gaze swept across the surrounding paintings, a resolute look appearing in his eyes:
"This fragment of the Heart of Myriad Realms is extremely important to me, as it is related to my path to enlightenment."
"I can't abandon this place, but it will take even longer to completely refine this fragment."
He turned to look at Emperor Venerable Qinglu, a hint of apology in his eyes:
"Therefore, I must part ways with you two for now."
"This..."
Emperor Venerable Qinglu hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said:
"Alright, let's stay here for now and wait for you."
"The power of the Supreme Void Eternal World Mirror is ultimately just an external object; it can't help you refine the Emperor Venerable- level Kunyu Command Talisman," Miaomiao said.
"Since you haven't refined the Emperor Venerable- level Kunyu Command Talisman, you can't leave the fourth level of the Divine Throne on your own. We can't just abandon you."
"Since this fragment of the Heart of Myriad Realms is so important, relating to your chance of attaining enlightenment, I don't mind waiting a bit."
As she spoke, she turned to look at the Emperor Venerable Baihua and smiled slightly:
"I think Baihua wouldn't mind waiting a bit, would she?"
Upon hearing this, the Emperor Venerable Baihua said softly:
" Quasi-Emperor Taiyu is my savior, Baihua naturally doesn't mind."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu felt a warm current well up in his heart and nodded:
"Thank you both very much."
"I will seize the time to completely refine this fragment of the Heart of Myriad Realms."
He paused for a moment after saying this, then continued:
"I estimate it will take about four or five more days, that should be enough."
To some extent:
The process of refining the fragments of the Heart of Myriad Realms is somewhat similar to the process of reforging and sublimating the Supreme Void Eternal World Mirror.
Taking the First Step is the hardest, but the difficulty gradually decreases and the speed increases.
"Good."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Venerable Qinglu revealed a slight smile:
"We should be able to wait four or five days."
"Even if a massive battle has broken out among those Emperor Venerable outside, it won't end anytime soon; it might last for months."
However, just as she finished speaking:
"Boom!"
The entire evolution space of the Heart of Myriad Realms fragment suddenly began to tremble violently.
It was as if a colossal entity had forcefully entered this place, and its immense power caused the space itself to show signs of collapse.
What happened?
Chen Qingyu and the other two instantly changed their expressions, instinctively channeling their power to protect themselves.
The next moment:
A graceful figure with disheveled hair and a slightly disheveled appearance came into view.
"This..."
Emperor Venerable Qinglu was stunned for a moment, then recognized the newcomer's identity and exclaimed in surprise:
" Dongfang Jinglong, is that you?!"
You provided the starting sign-in rewards for the legendary Zhuang Shisan, featuring Chen Qingyu from the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Transformations Zhuang Shisan.
