Time flies like an arrow, and the days slip by like a shuttle.
Chen Qingyu continued exploring the Land of the Ruins of Return, and several months passed quickly.
Although his investigative methods far surpassed those of ordinary Quasi-Emperor and Emperor Venerable, the vastness of the damaged Dao domain slowed down the process.
During the exploration:
He also encountered many other Emperor Venerable who were also exploring, and even some Quasi-Emperor who were bold and lucky.
However, no one dared to engage in fierce battles in the Land of the Ruins of Return or near the Remnant Dao Chaos. They avoided each other from a distance whenever they encountered one another, showing no intention of making contact whatsoever.
This day:
Chen Qingyu stood with his hands behind his back on a certain piece of land, gazing at the distant sky.
"Boom..."
On the horizon, a crimson streak of light slowly flew away in the direction from him, and soon disappeared from sight.
"Another one."
He frowned, feeling slightly annoyed.
"It seems there are quite a few fearless people among the Three Thousand Dao Domains."
"I've been here for over three months, and I still haven't found that Remnant Dao Chaos..."
His three months of exploration time is equivalent to at least several hundred years for an ordinary Emperor Venerable.
Even so:
He still couldn't find even the slightest trace of the Remnant Dao Chaos that still held the power of the Heavenly Lord.
"What a hassle!"
" The Law of Time here are also in a state of disrepair, but fortunately they haven't completely collapsed; instead, they're scattered throughout the vast Remnant Dao Chaos."
"Otherwise, if we explore here for a month, hundreds or thousands of years might have passed in the outside world..."
Thinking of this, Chen Qingyu couldn't help but sigh, sorted out his thoughts, and began exploring again.
Perhaps his luck has turned:
This time, after exploring for less than 15 minutes, he suddenly discovered a very interesting place.
"This..."
Chen Qingyu stopped his escape light and couldn't help but look towards the far distance on the horizon, at Remnant Dao Chaos of a path.
The Remnant Dao Chaos wasn't very large, only vaguely several thousand miles in circumference, but its outer perimeter was densely packed with thousands of figures.
"So many explorers have gathered together?"
"There's definitely something wrong with this!"
Thoughts flashed rapidly through Chen Qingyu's mind, and his eyes lit up, a smile appearing on his face.
If he wasn't mistaken—
He has finally found the fragment of Remnant Dao Chaos that he had been searching for for months!
Without a moment's delay, he immediately harnessed his escape light and sped towards that Remnant Dao Chaos.
soon:
His escape light attracted the attention of the thousands of Quasi-Emperor and Emperor Venerable on the outer edge of the Remnant Dao Chaos, who all turned their gazes toward him and looked him up and down.
Who is this person?
"I don't know, the aura is strange, I can't see through it!"
" Within Three Thousand Dao Domains and countless beings, it's normal not to recognize them, isn't it?"
"This person must be quite strong..."
"What good is strength? This is the Land of the Ruins of Return! Luck is the most important thing!"
"That's right. Unless you're an unprecedented genius who embarks on the path to becoming Heavenly Lord, luck is the most important factor."
The numerous Quasi-Emperor and Emperor Venerable whispered and talked among themselves for a few moments, and soon no one paid any attention to Chen Qingyu anymore.
"Boom!"
Chen Qingyu slowly reduced the speed of his escape light, finally hovering before the Remnant Dao Chaos.
Looking around:
Among the thousands of figures, the Emperor Venerable made up the vast majority, and they were all scattered. A small number of them were mixed together in groups of three or five, but most of them were alone.
"Um?"
At this moment, Chen Qingyu suddenly noticed something and couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
He discovered that in the area closest to the Remnant Dao Chaos, there were two huge empty areas. Although there was no one there, no one dared to approach them.
Watching this scene, he couldn't help but think of the territories of lions and tigers in the animal kingdom.
"The owners of these two empty areas seem to be of extraordinary status, as so many people dare not offend them in the slightest."
"And..."
He observed the expressions of these explorers and discovered something quite interesting.
Most of the explorers stared intently at the Remnant Dao Chaos before them, not daring to enter, but harboring a faint sense of anticipation.
What are they expecting?
Thoughts raced through Chen Qingyu's mind.
He quickly found the answer to this question.
A few breaths later, two streaks of light flew out of the Remnant Dao Chaos, one after the other, immediately attracting the attention of many explorers.
Between the two streaks of light:
The first streak of light was carried by a handsome young man with rosy lips and white teeth, who appeared to be only thirteen or fourteen years old. He was dressed in brocade robes and wore a crown, and his expression was somewhat unpleasant.
Then came the streak of light, revealing a tall, imposing young man with an air of authority. He was frowning, and his expression was equally unpleasant.
"Sigh, it seems they've failed again!"
"Yes, just like before, no one has been able to successfully condense the ' Great Dao Crystal '!"
"I don't know how much longer we'll have to wait!"
"That's right, if the ' Great Dao Crystal ' isn't taken, then we have no hope for the remaining treasures..."
The many explorers were greatly disappointed upon seeing the two appear.
The tall young man ignored them and went straight back to an empty area, where he sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes to regulate his breathing.
"Snort!"
The young man snorted coldly, his gaze sweeping over the numerous Quasi-Emperor and Emperor Venerable, a look of disgust flashing in his eyes:
"You pack of carrion-eating hyenas, you're utterly disgusting..."
As he spoke, his gaze suddenly sharpened and fixed on a certain direction, a hint of surprise on his face.
"Hmm?" Meow Meow said.
Many Quasi-Emperor and Emperor Venerable were startled and followed his gaze to see the white-robed youth who had just arrived.
"Who is this person? Does the little prince perhaps know him?"
"Could it be another important figure connected to the Heavenly Lord?"
While many explorers were speculating:
The young man frowned slightly and said in a deep voice:
"I never expected that you, Quasi-Emperor Taiyu, would personally come to this place."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qingyu looked him up and down and asked curiously:
"Who are you, and how do you recognize me?"
Upon hearing this, the young man raised his head and said:
"I am the prince of the Celestial Person Clan, the heir to the clan chief! I arrived in the Land of the Ruins of Return a few years ago."
"You, Quasi-Emperor Taiyu, had just held your apprenticeship ceremony and become the personal disciple of the Supreme Star Venerable, your name resounding throughout the Three Thousand Dao Domains. Of course, I recognize you."
Upon hearing this statement:
The expressions of many Quasi-Emperor and Emperor Venerable changed instantly, and an uproar erupted!
" The Heavenly Lord's personal disciple?! Are you kidding me?"
"Holy crap... I actually ran into a Heavenly Lord Lord's personal disciple?"
"This Quasi-Emperor Taiyu, how come I've never heard of him before?"
"Nonsense, didn't you hear what the little prince said? This Quasi-Emperor Taiyu only became a disciple of the Heavenly Lord a few years ago..."
In a short time:
All eyes of the Quasi-Emperor and Emperor Venerable turned to Chen Qingyu.
Even the tall young man suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Chen Qingyu, and showed a hint of surprise and uncertainty:
"The personal disciple of the Supreme Star Venerable?"
