Which one?
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Jinglong puffed out her chest and said:
" Quasi-Emperor Taiyu, you greatly underestimate me!"
"My family, the Dongfang Clan, is a direct descendant of the former Kunyu Divine Dynasty's royal family, and a direct descendant of the Old Ancestor Kunyu!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu immediately raised an eyebrow:
Is this really true?
He didn't really believe what Dongfang Jinglong said.
According to his speculation, after a million years, the Kunyu Divine Dynasty Dongfang Clan of the Kunyu Divine Dynasty, would have long since fallen apart.
The fact that Dongfang Lingluo went alone to the Myriad Dharma Dao Domain to stir up trouble and cruelly harm living beings is a good example of this.
An ancient family with a history spanning millions of years would likely have its branches all claiming to be direct descendants, which is hardly convincing.
You doubt me?
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Jinglong said with some annoyance:
"Yes, I admit I've lied a lot before, but I'm not lying this time."
"I hail from Parasol Tree Island in the Chuanming Dao Domain. My Dongfang Clan has been established there for a million years, and this is all verifiable."
"Not to mention, if I weren't a direct descendant of Great Emperor Kunyu, would the King of Creation acknowledge my qualifications?"
"Is that so?"
Chen Qingyu was somewhat inclined to believe her, but still harbored a sliver of doubt:
"Since you are a direct descendant of the Dongfang Clan, how could they allow you to run back to the Myriad Dharma Dao Domain alone and plot something sinister?"
"Don't tell me this was something you did in secret."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Jinglong paused for a moment before whispering:
"Millions of years have passed, and my Dongfang Clan has experienced numerous civil wars, rebellions, and divisions, leaving its strength in a state of utter decline."
"We are no longer the royal family of the divine dynasty you remember."
As she spoke, she sighed and gave a bitter smile:
"In reality, the Dongfang Clan now only has my great-aunt, an Emperor Venerable, struggling to keep it afloat."
"My cultivation and strength already make me the second strongest in the Dongfang Clan."
"Taking advantage of the opening of the Divine Throne, I returned to the Kunyu Continent to painstakingly plan and take a risk, all to retrieve the King of Creation and the Heart of Myriad Realms, and to relieve the crisis of my Dongfang Clan."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu suddenly realized:
"I see."
Unexpectedly, after a million years, the Dongfang Clan has declined to the point of near extinction.
According to ancient records, the royal family of the former Kunyu Divine Dynasty was an ancient family with hundreds of Emperor Venerable, and even some peerless overlords at the Emperor Venerable Peak.
But now the Dongfang Clan has been reduced to a mere handful of people, and plans concerning the fate of the Lineage still need to be executed by Dongfang Jinglong, a Quasi-Emperor.
" Dongfang Jinglong."
A sense of curiosity arose in Chen Qingyu's heart:
"So how did your Dongfang Clan end up in this state today?"
"With so many Emperor Venerable and Quasi-Emperor, no one is a fool who doesn't know that cooperation benefits both sides? Why insist on creating division?"
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Jinglong let out a heavy sigh:
"It is precisely because everyone is too clever, desperately vying for interests, and meticulously calculating for themselves, that the Dongfang Clan has declined to this state."
"Originally, the royal family of the Divine Dynasty was riddled with internal conflicts, with constant infighting between the main line and branches, and between the direct and collateral branches."
"When Old Ancestor Kunyu was still alive, he was able to keep it under control."
"But shortly after he sent us to the Chuanming Dao Domain, internal strife broke out, followed by endless turmoil and division..."
As she spoke, her tone grew increasingly somber, clearly indicating that she was feeling somewhat distressed.
"Any Lineage or sect that grows large will inevitably experience uneven distribution of benefits, and internal strife will become the norm."
As Chen Qingyu spoke, he waved his hand, appropriately changing the subject:
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore."
"Then let me ask you, does your clan still possess any of the secret records left behind by Great Emperor Kunyu?"
"Some."
Dongfang Jinglong's eyes flickered slightly, and she nodded, saying:
"When Old Ancestor Kunyu saw us off, he left behind many treasures and trump cards."
"Through millions of years of civil war, turmoil, and foreign invasions, those treasures have been largely exhausted or seized by the enemy."
"However, the secret records made by Old Ancestor Kunyu are still well preserved. After all, the Chuanming Dao Domain is not the Myriad Dharma Dao Domain, and almost no one cares about those things."
At this point, she tentatively asked:
"You want the secret records left behind by Old Ancestor Kunyu?"
"Good."
Chen Qingyu nodded and said:
"To achieve the Third Divine Realm, I need the detailed records left behind by Great Emperor Kunyu."
"Take me to Parasol Tree Island, and I will spare your life and forgive all your past transgressions."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Jinglong's gaze flickered uncertainly, and she whispered:
"That's not fair to me. Who knows if you have other bad intentions? Wouldn't I be letting a wolf into the house?"
"At the very least, I must reclaim the King of Creation..."
"Stop talking nonsense."
Chen Qingyu frowned and waved his hand, saying:
" Dongfang Jinglong! You should know that you have no right to negotiate with me!"
"I'm already showing you mercy by letting you go!"
"Otherwise, do you really think your little tricks can withstand the power of the Heavenly Lord? Just because other Emperor Venerable can't search your soul doesn't mean I can't!"
Dongfang Jinglong's face paled, and she said with an embarrassed smile:
"Okay, okay... You're the boss, I'll listen to you."
"Very good!"
Chen Qingyu nodded slightly and said:
"Before I leave, I need to go back to my hometown; there are some things I need to take care of."
"As for you, stay on the Kunyu Continent and await my news."
The Divine Throne has been sealed off; once anyone leaves, they cannot return.
Therefore, leaving Dongfang Jinglong on the Kunyu Continent is the best choice.
"Well..."
Dongfang Jinglong paused for a moment, then her eyes darted around:
"You're going to leave me on the Kunyu Continent? Aren't you afraid I'll run away halfway through?"
"Run?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu smiled slightly:
"You're welcome to try."
"..."
Dongfang Jinglong shrank back, not daring to speak again.
She knew very well that with the terrifying power of this Quasi-Emperor Taiyu, no matter where she fled to, it would probably be in vain.
"Okay, I understand."
She lowered her head and responded softly:
"Now, shouldn't you lift my ban?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu waved his sleeve and immediately broke all the sealing and binding techniques on Dongfang Jinglong's body.
"Buzz!"
Thank you.
She looked at Chen Qingyu and asked in a low voice:
When are we leaving?
"Now, of course!"
Chen Qingyu answered without hesitation.
Of the entire fifth level of the Divine Throne, only the Heart of Myriad Realms and the mysteries of the Third Divine Realm were still somewhat useful to him.
He didn't care about the rest; there was no point in keeping them there.
"Buzz!"
Chen Qingyu unleashed his divine sense, probing into the consciousness seas of numerous Emperor Venerable, and gave them some instructions.
After doing this:
" Emperor Venerable Ziyuan!"
Chen Qingyu withdrew his divine sense and shouted:
Please see us out!
"Good."
The gentle voice of the Emperor Venerable Ziyuan rang out beside the two of them.
In an instant:
With a flash of jade-white divine light, Chen Qingyu and Dongfang Jinglong's figures immediately disappeared from the Heavenward Palace.
"Buzz!"
Chen Qingyu opened his eyes again, he was already outside the Divine Throne, beside that familiar sky.
"Phew! Finally out..."
Dongfang Jinglong took a deep breath, a hint of joy on her face.
She had been trapped in the fifth level of the Divine Throne for more than two years, and now she had finally gained a degree of freedom, which made her quite happy.
I'm leaving.
Chen Qingyu glanced at her, then flicked his sleeve, causing the space in front of him to distort and collapse, revealing a deep void.
"You shall stay on the Kunyu Continent and not wander off."
As soon as he finished speaking:
He took a step forward, his figure disappearing into the void and vanishing from sight.
