Chapter 2349 Good Character, Little Chenzi
Mu Cangyan has already come a long way on the path to immortality, and only the final opportunity is needed for her to succeed.
Although the others joined in, starting from scratch, it was impossible for them to catch up with Mu Cangyan in a short period of time.
Moreover, this is within Mu Cangyan's training ground, where he is in complete control, so no accidents are possible.
If such a person truly existed, they could forge a heaven-defying path that would break through the realm of emperors simply through their own abilities. Why would they need to get involved? It makes no sense.
Furthermore, Mu Cangyan failed at this stage purely because he was not adequately prepared, and he has no one to blame but himself.
The atmosphere was heavy, like a painting soaked in thick ink, the colors so heavy they couldn't spread, the soul felt oppressed, and the suffocating feeling grew stronger.
"Brother Chen, what do you think?"
Nangong Ge spoke, breaking the heavy atmosphere. She turned to face Chen Qingyuan, her eyes meeting his directly.
"Stand and watch."
Chen Qingyuan was talking nonsense with a straight face.
Nangong Ge: "......"
After a brief joke, Chen Qingyuan said seriously, "If nothing unexpected happens, I should go in when the time is right."
Unless Chen Qingyuan doesn't want to go any further, he can't avoid this open conspiracy.
Over the years, he has been stationed in the Northern Wilderness, both to prevent the order of Shenzhou from becoming too turbulent and to discuss matters with the top beings of other universes.
Now, Mu Cangyan has set up a stage here, showcasing the Dao achievements of each emperor. Such allure is irresistible.
No one was surprised by Chen Qingyuan's words.
"Once you enter his monastery, you become fish on the chopping board."
Nangong Ge wouldn't stop Chen Qingyuan's decision; she would only offer a reminder.
“Going in now would be like a lamb entering a tiger’s den; life and death would be in his hands.” Chen Qingyuan only wanted to take this opportunity to comprehend his own path to enlightenment and did not want to become Mu Cangyan’s plaything: “When the time is right, the situation will be different.”
"The time is ripe?" Nangong Ge muttered to himself, his eyes narrowing involuntarily. Then, as if waking from a dream, he understood the meaning behind Chen Qingyuan's words: "Emperor Taiwei!"
Chen Qingyuan and Nangong Ge exchanged a glance and smiled without saying a word.
The answer is correct, no further explanation needed.
Once Emperor Taiwei enters the mortal realm, Mu Cangyan will surely be wary. At that time, with Emperor Taiwei as his backer, Chen Qingyuan will be able to stride confidently into the Sea of Mist, and he should be safe from danger in the short term.
The worry in Nangong Ge's eyes immediately dissipated.
With the Taiwei Emperor overseeing things, Chen Qingyuan is safe from harm.
Unless Mu Cangyan engages in a final battle with Emperor Taiwei, the situation will remain in a delicate balance.
"I've always been curious, why do you have won the favor of the Taiwei Emperor so much?"
Gu Kong turned to look at Chen Qingyuan and voiced the question that had been weighing on his mind for a long time.
"Because I have good character."
Chen Qingyuan remained calm and composed, without blushing or skipping a beat.
Upon hearing this, everyone was speechless: "..."
In some ways, Chen Qingyuan is indeed loyal and righteous, and his character is quite good. However, he also has many flaws; he is cunning, treacherous, and shameless.
"What's with those expressions? Am I wrong?"
Seeing the speechless expressions on everyone's faces, Chen Qingyuan had to get to the bottom of things to protect his reputation.
"Ah...yes."
Nangong Ge, who was familiar with Chen Qingyuan's various deeds, opened his mouth to respond, but his tone clearly paused.
Situ Lin smiled, which was an admission that Chen Qingyuan's character was quite good and there was nothing wrong with it.
"What Fellow Daoist Chen said is true."
Ji Fushuang's life was saved by Chen Qingyuan, so naturally she had to lie to herself.
"You people."
Seeing everyone's reaction, Gu Kong's eyes held a hint of disdain.
"Fellow Daoist Gu, if I may be so bold, can you defeat Fellow Daoist Chen?"
Ji Fushuang whispered a reminder.
Just as Gu Kong was about to make a sarcastic remark, he was choked by Ji Fushuang's words, his expression visibly stiffened, and he was having a very intense internal struggle.
Knowing that Chen Qingyuan was a vengeful person, and given his abnormal strength, if they didn't follow his wishes, they might be schemed against by him someday.
Although Chen Qingyuan wouldn't be ruthless towards his friends, being watched by them was a very unpleasant feeling.
“What you say makes a lot of sense. Brother Chen’s character is the best in the world. We are ashamed to admit that we are not as good as him.”
For his own safety, Gu Kong ultimately compromised.
If Zhixi were here, he would never bow down to Chen Qingyuan; he would say whatever he thought without hesitation.
Unfortunately, my eldest sister stepped into the eerie black fog and there has been no news of her since, which is making me extremely anxious.
"Yeah."
Hearing everyone's praise, Chen Qingyuan showed a very kind smile.
Those present were all shrewd old foxes; how could they not know each other's true thoughts?
No one pointed it out, and they just joked about it.
Suddenly, everyone fell silent.
Silence fell, and the atmosphere once again became somber, as if dark clouds were pressing down and obscuring the starry sky.
Chen Qingyuan stared intently at the eerie black mist, only able to see Fan Chen's imposing figure, but unable to detect a trace of Zhi Xi.
Where exactly does the senior stand?
In his quest to find Zhi Xi, Chen Qingyuan relentlessly employed the pupil technique of the Myriad Manifestations Destiny Manual, his eyes turning a deep crimson, reaching their limit.
Continuing to operate the pupil technique at such a high load could very likely result in a backlash.
Left with no other choice, Chen Qingyuan closed his eyes and tried to calm himself down.
"Senior Situ, with your abilities and the Forbidden Heavenly Book, can you deduce Senior Zhixi's current predicament?"
Chen Qingyuan walked up to Situ Lin and asked him earnestly.
"Disaster!"
Situ Lin had already tried, but to no avail. With a solemn expression, he gently shook his head.
Even Situ Lin, who held the Heavenly Book, was helpless in this matter, which filled Chen Qingyuan with worry, leaving him at a loss for what to do.
Although he believed in Zhixi's abilities, the constant surge of worry within him was about to breach the wall he had built deep within his heart, making him uneasy. He wanted to do something, but he was at a loss.
"Such beings are not so easily harmed."
Anyone with eyes could see the worry on Chen Qingyuan's face, and Situ Lin comforted him.
Chen Qingyuan was very clear about this, and out of instinctive worry, he couldn't help but say, "Hmm."
In his heart, he had already regarded Zhixi as family.
He couldn't accept it at all if something happened to Zhixi, and he didn't dare to even think about it.
"Little Chen, come here."
Suddenly, Gu Kong glanced over, a half-smile on his face, and greeted him.
Chen Qingyuan was taken aback: "?"
"Little Chenzi? What does that mean?"
Situ Lin and the others were very surprised and looked at Gu Kong, not understanding his intentions. Weren't they afraid that Chen Qingyuan would write this down?
