"What?"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Venerable Qinglu was greatly surprised and subconsciously asked:
Are you sure?
"Right!"
The Emperor Venerable Baihua nodded and said:
"When I first escaped, I suddenly saw you and heard about the passing of hundreds of thousands of years. I was so shaken that I didn't pay attention to that."
"I'm safe for now, but I just sensed that my Lifespan has indeed only decreased by a little over ten thousand years..."
"This!"
Emperor Venerable Qinglu's pupils contracted, and he murmured:
"How so?"
Hundreds of thousands of years have passed, but the Lifespan of the Emperor Venerable Baihua has only lasted for a little over ten thousand years.
This indicates that the actual time she spent inside the fragments of the Heart of Myriad Realms was only about one-tenth of the time she spent outside.
This can only be achieved with an extremely powerful force governed by the Law of Time.
The problem is:
To influence the flow of time in the region where an Emperor Venerable resides for an extended period would require a tremendous price, let alone maintaining it for hundreds of thousands of years.
"..."
The two sisters exchanged a glance, Central Capital feeling a complex mix of emotions.
It is obvious:
For many years, a mysterious force has been protecting the Emperor Venerable Baihua and trying to rescue her.
Considering the origin of those spatial coordinates, both of them Central Capital guessed what was going on, but dared not think in that direction...
In the vast expanse of space, in a certain star field, deep within the Void Universe Star Sea.
"Boom..."
The magnificent starlight gradually faded, revealing Chen Qingyu's figure.
" Star Sea, it's been a long time!"
Chen Qingyu's eyes flickered as he swept over the desolate Boundless Star Sea before him, a smile appearing on his face.
He could sense:
The Taihao Essence in the Myriad Calamity Divine Treasure became much more active after arriving in a familiar environment.
This means that as long as he is in the Star Sea, his cultivation speed, even if it doesn't increase several times as much as it used to, can still be accelerated.
"Call!"
He took a deep breath, his mind racing:
" The Supreme Star Palace is the overlord of the Star Sea; its strength and influence are immense."
"I think it would be better to first change my appearance, find a densely populated and prosperous Earth Star to obtain some materials, and then build Star Receiving Platform."
He currently lacks the strength to break through the boundaries of the Dao Domain.
After responding to the call of the Star Sea the first time, if you want to come again, you must find a way to build Star Receiving Platform and open a passage.
However, he couldn't bring any spatial Mystic Artifact from the Star Sea, and his spatial ring was still on the fifth level of the Divine Throne.
To build Star Receiving Platform, materials must be collected from the Star Sea.
Most Saint King who come to the Star Sea for the first time will go through this process, so the relevant materials are not difficult to find; it just takes a little time.
"They're gone!"
Just as Chen Qingyu was about to use the [ Calamity of Myriad Transformations ] to change his appearance and fly away.
In silence:
Everything in the world seemed to freeze, as if a vibrant oil painting had been transformed into an old, gray photograph.
Even the distant starlight, the omnipresent celestial energy, and the " Myriad Stars Counterlight Primordial Magnetism " all vanished in an instant, disappearing without a trace.
"This!"
Chen Qingyu froze, unable to move, a look of horror in his eyes.
The next moment:
A hazy starlight appeared, surging in from all directions like a tide, and coalescing into a phantom image in front of him.
Look closely--
This is an elderly man with graying temples, who is still very energetic, and has a faint smile in his eyes.
He wore a black robe, as if it were torn from the night sky and woven together, adorned with countless stars that shone brightly.
Seeing him is like seeing the entire Star Sea.
"..."
Chen Qingyu felt almost suffocated, a strong sense of unease welling up inside him. He managed to speak:
"May I ask who you are...?"
The old man in black robes smiled slightly and sighed:
"Finally, you've arrived, kid."
He stroked his beard and smiled, saying:
"It's an honor to meet you. I am the master of the Supreme Star Palace."
"What?"
Chen Qingyu was taken aback, his heart filled with shock, and he felt a chill run down his spine.
No way?
Are you kidding me?!
Lord of the Supreme Star Palace?
Is he really that hated? That the dignified master of the Supreme Star Palace, a Heavenly Lord, would personally come to arrest him?!
He just killed a Star Palace elder at the Extreme Transformation Realm? That's way too exaggerated!
"Wrong!"
Chen Qingyu quickly realized what was happening, and his expression shifted slightly.
For the dignified Lord of the Star Palace, Heavenly Lord transcending all realms, to personally capture him would be giving himself far too much credit.
"Oh..."
The old man in black robes seemed to have seen through his thoughts and smiled slightly:
"Little one, don't be nervous, I'm not here to grab you."
"I have investigated the matter thoroughly. The elder stationed at the Pavilion of Stars deceived you first and is skilled at interfering in the struggle for the Taihao Essence, repeatedly bullying you."
"You killed him, so he deserved it; your arrest warrant has already been withdrawn."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu hesitated slightly.
"It's been withdrawn? But..."
He hadn't forgotten that he had vaguely inquired with Quasi-Emperor Qinghe about the fact that the Supreme Star Palace was still hunting him down and had offered an extremely high reward for his capture.
This clearly doesn't match the words of the Star Palace Master before them.
Don't get me wrong.
The old man in black robes waved his hand and said with a smile:
"The arrest warrant was issued regardless of whether you were dead or alive; the subsequent announcement was to 'invite' you into the Supreme Star Palace."
"After all, I don't know when you'll come back to the Star Sea. If you never return, I'll have to pay a high price to have someone search for you."
"This..."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu was somewhat flattered and cautiously replied:
"I wonder why you value me so highly, senior?"
He really couldn't understand it.
Why would a high and mighty Heavenly Lord pay such close attention to him? He even discovered his whereabouts as soon as he entered the Star Sea.
"Ha ha..."
The old man in black robes laughed heartily and said:
"Throughout my life, I have witnessed countless extraordinary talents, but your talent and brilliance rank among the top three of everyone I have ever met!"
"Such a talented and beautiful person has naturally caught my eye, which is why I came to find you in person."
As he spoke, his smile faded, and he said seriously:
"I wish to take you as my disciple. Would you be willing?"
"This..."
Chen Qingyu was startled, caught off guard.
He hadn't expected that the Lord of the Supreme Star Palace would pay so much attention to him, actually wanting to take him as a disciple?
"This..."
Chen Qingyu didn't agree immediately, but hesitated for a moment before tentatively asking:
"May I ask you, senior, where you heard about me?"
He didn't think that his outburst at the Pavilion of Stars would alarm a Heavenly Lord.
Ultimately, it's just a dispute among a group of juniors at the Divine Origin Realm. Unless the Taihao Star remnants explode, even the true higher-ups of the Supreme Star Palace might not pay attention, let alone the Star Palace Master.
He remained uneasy until he understood this problem.
"Um..."
Upon hearing this, the old man in black robes gave him a deep look before pondering and saying:
"Back when you first entered the Star Sea of Stars..."
You provided the starting sign-in rewards for the legendary Zhuang Shisan, featuring Chen Qingyu from the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Transformations Zhuang Shisan.
