"Ha ha..."
The Sect Master Guangwang said with a smile:
"This signpost of the ' Land of the Ruins of Return ' might be quite valuable to the young palace master."
"But for my Guangwang Sect, we have no capable people, so their value is limited. They're just right as a greeting gift."
"... good!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu slowly said:
"Since Sect Master Guangwang has put it that way, I shall accept it without further ado."
He had only intended to borrow the road sign once.
After all, he possesses the power of Heavenly Lord. Once he has visited any Dao Domain or Realm, he can leave Dao Marks, and he will not need a Dao Marker when he descends from the Star Sea a second time.
Since Sect Master Guangwang Guang was willing to give it to him directly, and he had already accepted it, he didn't refuse.
"Young Palace Master."
Sect Master Guangwang under his command, the Sect Master of Guangwang couldn't help but smile even more broadly, and stretched out his hand, saying:
"Please."
Chen Qingyu said happily:
"Good."
Led by the Sect Master Guangwang, the group flew to an elegant hall at the Guangwang Sect's mountain gate.
Inside the hall, the round table was already laden with all sorts of delicacies and fine wines from the Chuanming Dao Domain, hosted by Sect Master Guangwang, who invited a group of elders to join them.
At the banquet:
The Sect Master Guangwang was quite talkative, knowledgeable, and shrewd; he and Chen Qingyu got along very well.
After several rounds of drinks and several dishes:
The Sect Master Guangwang had a slightly flushed face, seemingly casually mentioning the Dao marker of the " Land of the Ruins of Return ":
"... Young Palace Master."
He held his wine glass and said casually:
"To be honest, this beacon was a gift from our ancestors of the Guangwang Sect, who saved the Dongfang Clan from a crisis decades or even tens of thousands of years ago."
"Along with it were also many copies of records and accounts left by the Great Emperor Kunyu regarding this Dao beacon."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu's eyes flickered slightly:
"Is that so..."
The Jade-Faced Emperor Venerable said that the beacon was stolen by the Guangwang Sect.
However, according to the Sect Master Guangwang, it was a gift from the Dongfang Clan that they received voluntarily, so it's unclear who is telling the truth and who is lying.
Of course, it is more likely that Guangwang Sect did help them back then, but took advantage of their misfortune and made demands, Dongfang Clan would naturally not appreciate.
" Sect Master Guangwang."
Chen Qingyu didn't care about those things, and instead asked:
"You've had this landmark for hundreds of thousands of years."
"Has no one been sent to investigate the Land of the Ruins of Return during this long period of time?"
Upon hearing this, Sect Master Guangwang couldn't help but give a wry smile:
"To be honest, Young Palace Master..."
"According to Great Emperor Kunyu's records, the Land of the Ruins of Return is extremely dangerous, and can be described as a first-rate dangerous place."
"Regardless of one's cultivation level, there is a considerable chance that one will not return once they go to the Land of the Ruins of Return, and will perish and have their cultivation dissipate."
"This marker is unique; once lost, it's gone forever. That's why we haven't dared to take the risk for hundreds of thousands of years."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu understood:
"I see..."
According to the records of Great Emperor Kunyu:
The dangers of the Land of the Ruins of Return are, to some extent, ignoring cultivation level and resistance, and there are almost no patterns to be found.
An ordinary Quasi-Emperor might enter and, if lucky, return alive; but a Peak Emperor Venerable enter and, if unlucky, die a violent death quickly.
The cost is too high; no wonder the Guangwang Sect dares not take the risk.
"Of course..."
The Sect Master Guangwang put down his wine cup and said solemnly:
"Besides the extreme risks, there's another important reason why our Guangwang Sect has never used this beacon..."
He sighed as he finished speaking:
"That means that in hundreds of thousands of years, we have never had a single genius qualified to challenge the Third Divine Realm."
"Without such a prodigy, we wouldn't be able to obtain the greatest benefit, the ' Great Dao Crystal '."
"The risks are enormous, but the rewards are too small, so naturally no one is willing to take the risk."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu's expression flashed with curiosity:
"Not even one in hundreds of thousands of years?"
He glanced at the tall, thin young man sitting next to the Sect Master Guangwang and said:
"This disciple of the sect leader is already a peerless genius, could it be that he is also incapable?"
Shortly after the banquet began:
The Sect Master Guangwang then introduced his personal disciple, who was accompanying him, to Chen Qingyu.
Chen Qingyu discerned that this person's cultivation and strength were top-notch, even surpassing Void King, making him a rare talent in any Dao Domain.
Logically speaking, shouldn't this person have at least a sliver of hope of reaching the Third Divine Realm?
"He?"
The Sect Master Guangwang noticed his gaze and shook his head, saying:
"Young Palace Master, you are unaware of this."
"No Half-Step Heavenly Lord has ever been born in the Chuanming Dao Domain, and my Guangwang Sect only possesses a fragmented foreign inheritance."
"We haven't even gathered all the necessary conditions to achieve the Third Divine Realm yet..."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu immediately realized what was happening and chuckled:
"So, the sect leader was waiting for me here..."
No wonder the Sect Master Guangwang steered the conversation in this direction; he had another purpose.
"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Young Master."
The chubby face of the Sect Master Guangwang showed a hint of embarrassment as he frankly stated:
"My disciple is obsessed with this realm, relentlessly pursuing it, unable to extricate himself."
"A teacher is like a father; he inevitably worries about his students."
The tall, thin young man standing to the side lowered his head in shame, then secretly glanced at Chen Qingyu, a faint hope rising in his heart.
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu smiled nonchalantly:
"Fine."
"Since Sect Master Guangwang has this intention, I, Chen, am willing to do him a favor."
As he spoke, he flicked his sleeve, and a blank jade slip appeared.
Chen Qingyu moved his divine sense slightly, imprinting various messages into the jade slip, and pushed it onto the table:
"This is just a small token of my appreciation, a return gift for the sect leader."
For him, the secret to achieving the Third Divine Realm is now of so little value.
The Sect Master Guangwang was very good at dealing with people, and he got along quite well with him, so he didn't mind casually giving away this secret.
"Young Palace Master!"
The Sect Master Guangwang did not accept it, but instead stood up and bowed solemnly:
"On behalf of my disciple, I thank the Young Palace Master for his great kindness."
As he spoke, his divine sense coalesced into a sharp spike, piercing the tall, thin youth who was still immersed in ecstasy.
"Oh..."
The tall, thin young man then realized what was happening, quickly stood up, and bowed deeply with an excited expression.
"Thank you, Young Palace Master, thank you..."
You two are too kind.
Chen Qingyu smiled and gestured for them to sit down.
The elders of the Guangwang Sect, who were standing to the side, had different expressions as they watched this scene, Central Capital secretly amused.
After the Sect Master Guangwang sat down again, he put away the jade slip and said with a smile:
"Speaking of which, there's something else I'd like to discuss with the young master."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu raised an eyebrow and asked:
"What is it? Please speak freely, Sect Master."
The Sect Master Guangwang took a deep breath and slowly said:
"I reached the Peak of the Realm of Creation tens of thousands of years ago, and I have twice entered the Endless Battlefield to fight and struggle."
"As I grow older, seeing that my Lifespan is running out and my cultivation is making little progress, I always think about going back into the world to give it my all."
As he spoke, he looked at Chen Qingyu and said solemnly:
"After the young palace master ascends to the Third Divine Realm, sooner or later, he will inevitably enter the Endless Battlefield and compete for the destiny of becoming Heavenly Lord."
"Given the young palace master's unparalleled talent, this time shouldn't be too long."
"If one day in the future, when the young palace master intends to enter the Endless Battlefield, I would like to follow you. What do you say, young palace master?"
