Chapter 2372 Request, 1 Sword

With the eyesight of the Great Emperor Taiwei, he could see Chen Qingyuan's current physical condition.

Chen Qingyuan nodded solemnly: "Yes."

The purpose of this trip to the Old Land is twofold: first, to obtain the Chaos Elixir; and second, to seek the Dao from the Great Emperor Taiwei.

Even if Emperor Taiwei didn't bring it up, Chen Qingyuan would take the initiative to bring it up.

"You are qualified to try." Emperor Taiwei highly recognized Chen Qingyuan's talent. Although he was sitting on the futon without moving, his voice seemed to come from near and far, which was quite strange: "This path is very suitable for you."

"To this day, I still haven't even touched the threshold of this path."

Chen Qingyuan had no idea whether he would succeed. All he could do was give it his all.

No matter what troubles I encounter, I will face them calmly and never give up.

"Want me to show you a way?"

Emperor Taiwei saw through Chen Qingyuan's intentions at a glance.

"This is nothing to be ashamed of," Chen Qingyuan nodded in agreement.

"I haven't walked this path, so I can't give you any practical advice."

The Dao, which is a unique path, can only be understood through one's own enlightenment; no one else can help.

Even if Emperor Taiwei could deduce a certain route, it would only be suitable for his past self and would be meaningless to others.

Many years ago, Emperor Taiwei sent Chen Qingyuan to Tian Shu Tower to enter the Dao Yan Xuan Tu, which was already the greatest effort he could make.

The Dao Evolution Diagram carries the Dao of all emperors. Chen Qingyuan, with his extraordinary comprehension, gained a great deal from it and then integrated it into himself, resulting in a significant increase in his strength.

"All right!"

Although Chen Qingyuan was mentally prepared to gain nothing, a hint of disappointment still appeared in his eyes.

“You should have already touched it; you don’t need me to guide you at all.”

Emperor Taiwei smiled.

"Have I already touched it?"

Chen Qingyuan asked in surprise.

Father, like son.

While others could not see the special Dao traces intertwined on Chen Qingyuan's body, the Taiwei Emperor could clearly perceive them: "Firmly adhere to your own path and keep going."

How could Chen Qingyuan not understand such straightforward advice?

"I know, I will."

With Emperor Taiwei's words, Chen Qingyuan's confidence soared, his goal became firm, and he was no longer confused.

"Ready, ready to enter the game at any time."

Emperor Taiwei knew that Chen Qingyuan still had some concerns, and told him frankly that there was no need to worry about this matter.

I am alone, there is no need to worry.

The implication was that Chen Qingyuan could step into the eerie black mist at any time, and if Mu Cangyan made a move, the Taiwei Emperor would definitely come to his aid immediately.

The moment he said that, I felt incredibly safe!

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Chen Qingyuan bowed and thanked him.

"Between you and me, there is no need to say thank you."

Emperor Taiwei had long regarded Chen Qingyuan as a close friend.

"I'm afraid I'll never be able to repay the debt of gratitude I owe you in this lifetime."

Along the way, Chen Qingyuan encountered many troubles. If it weren't for the help of the Taiwei Emperor, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

The most direct example of this event was the Battle of the Snow Forbidden Zone!

If the Taiwei Emperor doesn't intervene, Chen Qingyuan and An Xiruo are doomed.

At the time, the white-haired empress did not pay attention to this matter. By the time she realized it, it was probably already too late to turn back.

Emperor Taiwei smiled without saying a word in response to Chen Qingyuan's sincere gratitude.

"Your Majesty, I have a request that I cannot make."

On the way here, Chen Qingyuan kept thinking and hesitating.

Now, with the clear guidance of the Great Emperor Taiwei, we have not gone astray, our faith is firm, and we have made our decision.

Emperor Taiwei: "Speak."

Which path do you specialize in?

Chen Qingyuan asked.

Before attaining enlightenment, one roams freely with a sword. After attaining enlightenment, one understands all laws.

The words of the Great Emperor Taiwei exuded an undeniable confidence.

He is an extremely rare being, qualified to say the phrase "understanding all methods".

The imperial tomb that appeared in the world back then contained dozens of supreme rules, all of which were the work of the Great Emperor Taiwei.

Ye Liujun entered and comprehended different rules of the fire path, benefiting greatly. Continuing down this path, he might even reach an even higher realm.

From the moment he entered the Imperial Palace, Ye Liujun truly felt the terror of the Taiwei Emperor.

"I beg Your Majesty to lend me a wisp of sword intent."

Chen Qingyuan stood up, bowed deeply to Emperor Taiwei with great respect, and pleaded.

Emperor Taiwei immediately understood Chen Qingyuan's intention: to use this opportunity to temper his body. "How much strength?"

"How much force do you think is appropriate?"

After pondering for a moment, Chen Qingyuan, unsure of the exact strength of the Taiwei Emperor, had no choice but to throw the question back at him.

"Three points!"

According to Emperor Taiwei's prediction, this level of power was just right, neither damaging Chen Qingyuan's foundation nor causing him immense pressure.

"Okay, it's up to you."

Chen Qingyuan had no objection.

"Have you figured it out?"

Emperor Taiwei needed Chen Qingyuan's affirmative answer to avoid regretting it later.

Chen Qingyuan answered without hesitation, "Of course."

Emperor Taiwei: "I'll give you ten breaths to prepare."

Immediately, Chen Qingyuan brought himself to his best condition.

Ten breaths passed in the blink of an eye.

Zheng!

Emperor Taiwei remained seated, without making any movement, yet the void around him shattered, condensing into countless sword patterns.

The sword energy was transparent, and its quantity kept increasing.

Each sword aura has reached the limits of the world.

If a mortal swordsman is fortunate enough to witness this, he will benefit from it for life.

Then, Emperor Taiwei raised his right hand, extended his index finger, and gently tapped Chen Qingyuan.

Using his finger as a sword, he suppressed the world.

The moment that finger was pointed out, the entire world seemed to tremble. Heaven and earth fell silent, and all things roared.

The oppressive aura of the pinnacle of imperial power arose alongside it.

This enclosed void began to crumble inch by inch.

Fortunately, due to the special restrictive barrier, this earth-shattering power did not spread out; otherwise, the entire Old Land would have been affected, and even the surrounding star systems.

Facing the sword intent casually unleashed by the Great Emperor Taiwei, Chen Qingyuan tensed up, his pupils contracted rapidly, and he subconsciously wanted to defend himself, but he suppressed the urge.

Only by drawing the sword into one's body can one begin cultivation.

If you manage to block it with all your might, what's the point?

Clang!

A flash of white light appeared, and the ultimate sword intent landed on Chen Qingyuan.

Tear it apart!

In an instant, a hideous wound appeared on Chen Qingyuan's chest, revealing his crystalline Dao bones and his internal organs covered with Daoist runes.

The wound was large, yet not a single drop of blood flowed out.

The sword intent penetrated the body, splitting into countless strands that rapidly spread throughout the entire body.

An extremely intense pain surged forth, causing Chen Qingyuan to purse his lips tightly, his lips forming a straight line, looking very serious.

Chi Chi Chi!

The pain was still rising, and a slight thud came from my chest.

Under the impact of supreme sword intent, Chen Qingyuan's Dao body was constantly approaching its limit, his skin was torn and his bones were exposed.

Even so, he did not utter a single painful groan.
