"Shouldn't have come?!"
Emperor Venerable Qinglu could no longer suppress his anger and stepped forward to question him:
"You didn't actually perish back then; you secretly went to the fifth level, didn't you?"
We all thought you were dead, and we were heartbroken and shed tears for you.
"But you kept part of the secret from us and went to the fifth level of the Divine Throne to try and control everything!"
More than two years ago:
When the Emperor Venerable Qinglu and the Emperor Venerable Baihua escaped from the Kunyu Continent, they had already made this guess.
When the Emperor Venerable Baihua was trapped in the Heart of Myriad Realms, who secretly paid a huge price to slow down the loss of her Lifespan?
And who was it that managed to transmit those crucial spatial coordinates outwards, guiding others to rescue her?
Besides this only surviving sister, they couldn't think of anyone else.
But they would rather this conjecture be wrong—because such a fact is completely unacceptable to them.
"..."
Faced with Emperor Venerable Qinglu's questioning, Emperor Venerable Ziyuan remained silent, lowering his head and offering no rebuttal.
" Qinglu, forget it..."
Emperor Venerable Baihua tugged at Emperor Venerable Qinglu's sleeve and whispered:
"Perhaps Ziyuan was also acting against her will; wasn't she secretly protecting me?"
That's precisely why I'm so angry!
Emperor Venerable Qinglu, his heart burning with rage, flung away Emperor Venerable Baihua's hand and pressed closer step by step:
"Since you can send messages using the Primal Spirit, why don't you send coordinates to my Great Void Impermanence Sword?"
"Since you can secretly protect Baihua, why don't you send her out?"
"We made a promise to share all our secrets, but you..."
She became increasingly heartbroken as she spoke, and by the end, her eyes were red with tears.
For her:
The most unacceptable thing is that Ziyuan, their former close friend and sister, betrayed their friendship.
This made her perseverance of hundreds of thousands of years and the tears she shed for her best friend's death seem like a joke.
"..."
Chen Qingyu stood aside, watching the atmosphere between the three sisters grow increasingly heavy, his mind racing with thoughts.
"This is really interesting..."
He had already harbored suspicions after learning from Emperor Venerable Baihua that the spatial coordinates were not sent by her.
After all, according to what Emperor Venerable Qinglu said:
She and Baihua obtained the Divine Weapon and Mystic Artifact of Dongfang Lingluo, and gave the rest of their treasures to Emperor Venerable Ziyuan.
Therefore, it is quite possible that the Emperor Venerable Ziyuan later unearthed some secrets from those treasures and secretly kept them for himself.
" Qinglu, you've misunderstood me."
Emperor Venerable Ziyuan sighed deeply and finally spoke slowly:
"After I got trapped here, I could only manipulate a limited portion of the ' Jade of Kun Mountain's ' power, and I was completely unable to send Baihua out. I could only protect her secretly."
As for transmitting coordinates...
She gazed at Emperor Venerable Qinglu and said softly:
How do you know I didn't send you spatial coordinates?
"This!"
Emperor Venerable Qinglu showed a hint of surprise and blurted out:
"Impossible!"
"Since you sent the coordinates, why didn't I receive them...?"
As she spoke, her voice unconsciously lowered.
She also remembered a fact— the Great Void Impermanence Sword also possessed Primal Spirit; otherwise, the Emperor Venerable Ziyuan would not have been able to use it to send messages.
But what if the Primal Spirit deliberately concealed or even erased that coordinate?
This situation is not impossible.
The Great Void Impermanence Sword is Divine Weapon of slaughter. The Primal Spirit itself is fierce, domineering, and unruly; it was only by her forceful subjugation that it was subdued.
"Looks like you guessed it."
Emperor Venerable Ziyuan sighed:
" The Primal Spirit of that Great Void Impermanence Sword is not obedient."
"You haven't been able to find Baihua's whereabouts for so many years, so I guessed something was wrong, and that's why I stopped trying to send you coordinates."
Upon hearing this statement:
Emperor Venerable Qinglu paused for a moment before speaking in a deep voice:
"How will you explain this last thing you've done?"
"Why did you keep the secret about the fifth floor from us and keep it Dongfang Lingluo to yourself?"
Upon hearing this, the Emperor Venerable Ziyuan calmly replied:
"Because the secret I discovered can only benefit one person."
"I know my talent is limited. Reaching the Realm of Creation is already a stroke of luck. Without a great opportunity in this life, there is no way I can go any further."
As she spoke, she looked at Emperor Venerable Qinglu and said softly:
"For example, you, Qinglu."
"Your talent is the best among the three sisters."
"But you've cultivated diligently for hundreds of thousands of years in the outside world, yet you haven't even reached the Middle Emperor Venerable. Doesn't that prove anything?"
"I admit I had selfish motives, and I'm sorry to both of you. There's no point in arguing about that."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Venerable Qinglu took a deep breath and remained silent.
Emperor Venerable Baihua took her hand, looked at Emperor Venerable Ziyuan, sighed softly, and said nothing more.
"This..."
Not far away, numerous Emperor Venerable watched this scene, exchanging thoughts and whispering among themselves, their expressions varied.
In the silence:
"You must be Quasi-Emperor Taiyu, right?"
Emperor Venerable Ziyuan turned her head, looked at Chen Qingyu, and said calmly:
"I can't do anything to you, so how about we each take a step back?"
"Let's each take a step back?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu revealed a hint of amusement:
"Don't rush into that. I'm more curious about what secrets you unearthed from the treasures left behind by Dongfang Lingluo back then?"
As he finished speaking:
The Emperor Venerable immediately brightened, and they all focused their attention on Emperor Venerable Ziyuan.
Even the Emperor Venerable Baihua and the Emperor Venerable Qinglu couldn't help but look at her.
They also wanted to know what kind of earth-shattering opportunity could make the Emperor Venerable Ziyuan betray their sisterly bond and act against her conscience to keep it all for himself.
"You..."
The Emperor Venerable Ziyuan's expression changed slightly. After a moment of silence, he slowly said:
"It seems you won't give up until I tell you."
"Well, it's come to this now, there's nothing more I can hide..."
She took a deep breath, her voice like a flowing stream, and began to speak gently:
All living beings are born between heaven and earth, and their lifespans are all limited by heaven and earth.
" Human Race have short lifespans but cultivate quickly; Demon Race have long lifespans but cultivate slowly; the Spirit Race is somewhere in between; the Dragon Race is above the other three; and there are also the Crystal Clan, the Sea Race, the Cloud Race... and countless other races."
"However, the lifespan of all living beings is limited by the universe itself; none possess the ability to live forever."
At this point, her eyes flashed with a sharp light, and her tone revealed a hint of complexity:
"Only the power of the Heavenly Lord can reverse the Creation life and death and break the limitations of heaven and earth."
Chen Qingyu reacted the fastest, his expression shifting, and he said:
"You mean, ' Enlightenment '?"
"Good."
Emperor Venerable Ziyuan nodded slightly and said:
"The power of the Heavenly Lord can Enlightenment Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon, enabling them to generate Primal Spirit and attain enlightenment through acquired means."
"Once successful, the Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon will not only be no different from ordinary living beings, able to cultivate normally, but will also possess an unimaginably long Lifespan."
" Great Emperor Kunyu, though Half-Step Heavenly Lord, does not possess such power, but he can still barely perform an incomplete Enlightenment..."
