Chapter 2434 Testing, Showing Mercy

Gongsun Rong grabbed the flask of fine wine in front of him and said confidently, "Of course it's drinkable."

"please!"

Gongsun Rong made a toasting gesture and then put the spout of the pot to his lips.

The liquor flowed from the spout and gushed into my mouth.

A strange thing happened: the wine didn't spill out, but was absorbed by the bones, leaving not a single drop.

"Very good wine, thank you, fellow Daoist."

Gongsun Rong was very polite.

Chen Qingyuan replied, "We are already friends, Brother Gongsun, there's no need for such formality and politeness."

Compared to the top-tier resources gifted by Gongsun Rong, the jar of fine wine presented by Chen Qingyuan was nothing at all.

And so, as they drank together, they gradually became acquainted and developed a friendship.

As long as Gongsun Rong doesn't cross Chen Qingyuan's bottom line, their friendship will not fade, but will only become stronger.

When will Brother Chen enter?

Now that the two sides were familiar with each other, Gongsun Rong was much more relaxed than before and raised a rather serious topic.

"Look again."

Chen Qingyuan didn't actually know a specific timeframe, so he could only wait.

"May I stay here until the time is right, and then enter with Brother Chen?"

Gongsun Rong pleaded.

"of course can."

This was no problem, and Chen Qingyuan would never refuse.

Gongsun Rong was afraid of being rejected by Chen Qingyuan, but after hearing the definite answer, he felt relieved: "Okay."

To be precise, it was his soul that found peace, because he had no heart.

To this day, more than forty emperors have stepped into the eerie black mist. They crave immortality and hope to become participants in the golden age of the ultimate path.

Regardless of the outcome, they will not regret it.

Several emperors explored the history and culture of the land, gaining a general understanding of the situation in this world.

When these extraterrestrial emperors arrived in the Upper Star System, they saw Chen Qingyuan's figure and were shocked, their expressions filled with astonishment.

The legendary, eternal monster is right before my eyes.

They all shared the same mindset: initially, they thought Chen Qingyuan was just a rather special top genius with heaven-defying combat power capable of contending with emperors, nothing more.

Later, after a thorough investigation, it was discovered that at the end of his path to enlightenment, Chen Qingyuan killed an ancient emperor unknown to the world and then gifted the opportunity to his confidante.

After extensive investigation, it was confirmed that the information was not false and was absolutely true.

As a result, these emperors were all shocked and stunned for a long time, unable to believe that such a monstrous existence existed in this world.

"He is Chen Qingyuan!"

Looking at Chen Qingyuan standing beside the ancient bronze bell, some emperors maintained a calm demeanor on the surface, but their hearts were filled with a myriad of emotions, too complex to be explained in a few words.

"His refined demeanor is truly extraordinary; he is no ordinary person."

The numerous Imperial Dao True Runes surrounding Chen Qingyuan alone were enough to make visitors from outside the realm tremble with fear, and they were unwilling to offend him unless absolutely necessary.

"A time of great strife!"

The fact that such a prodigy was born into this world undoubtedly illustrates the unique nature of this era.

Perhaps, the path to immortality may truly be achievable.

Even if you can't reach the top and end up becoming someone else's stepping stone, it's better than hiding in a dark corner and barely surviving.

A very few supreme beings wanted to have a close conversation with Chen Qingyuan to gain a deeper understanding of him.

An old man with a frail appearance and one eye walked over slowly after thinking for a while.

The one-eyed old man's left eye was sealed by some kind of restriction, leaving only his right eye open. His face was covered in wrinkles, his hair was sparse and gray, and he looked very old and nearing the end of his life.

"I have come uninvited, please forgive me, fellow Daoists."

The old man bowed to Chen Qingyuan and Gongsun Rong, lowering his posture and showing great courtesy.

"Fellow."

Chen Qingyuan and Gongsun Rong were in perfect sync and returned the gift at the same time.

"Fellow Daoists from all walks of life have come to the Divine Land. This is an unprecedented golden age that has not happened in tens of millions of years. The Divine Land is a land of outstanding people and abundant resources, which is why a talent as extraordinary as Fellow Daoist Chen could be born."

The one-eyed old man immediately recognized Chen Qingyuan's surname, clearly indicating that he knew some information.

"Fellow Taoist is so complimentary."

Chen Qingyuan responded modestly with a smile.

"I am taking the liberty of asking you to test your skills against me, fellow Daoist."

The one-eyed old man was initially very skeptical of these rumors about the land of China. However, after seeing Chen Qingyuan, all his doubts vanished.

He couldn't see through Chen Qingyuan and was itching to test him.

Taking direct action is not advisable and could easily bring trouble upon yourself.

Therefore, they come over first to say hello, ostensibly to discuss the Dao.

"Naturally."

Chen Qingyuan did not refuse.

"please!"

The one-eyed old man stepped back a few paces, giving both sides enough space to spar.

This was a request made by the other party, so Chen Qingyuan naturally had to fulfill it.

Chen Qingyuan didn't sense any danger from the one-eyed old man's expression. Furthermore, he could tell the old man's strength level; he wouldn't even bother using the Zi Jun Sword, let alone take out the Yue Hong.

Raise your right hand and extend your index finger.

Then, leave a little space between them.

call out!

A beam of mysterious light shot out from his fingertip, aimed at the one-eyed old man.

At first, the one-eyed old man was slightly displeased when he saw Chen Qingyuan extend his finger, taking it as a sign of disrespect. However, the moment the finger's beam struck him, the old man's heart pounded violently, his expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed in alarm, "Oh no!"

A deadly force threatened his life, freezing the old man's blood. He quickly used his most powerful life-saving techniques to defend himself.

Boom!

The old man formed an imperial seal with his hands, and a ring-shaped jade pendant appeared directly in front of him.

The jade pendant spun rapidly, continuously absorbing the power of Chen Qingyuan's finger.

buzzing-

The ring-shaped jade pendant kept trembling, the amplitude of which increased, as it endured immense pressure and was in great distress.

Those few breaths felt incredibly long and agonizing to the one-eyed old man.

If he does not use all his imperial power to resist, he will surely be unable to withstand it.

Barely managing to catch Chen Qingyuan's casual move, the one-eyed old man was still shaken. He tried to say something, but the words caught in his throat, and he couldn't utter a single one.

He stared at Chen Qingyuan not far in front of him, and used a wisp of his spiritual energy to wipe away the cold sweat on his forehead, his heart still uneasy.

"Thank you for your mercy, fellow Daoist."

After this test, the one-eyed old man was completely convinced, bowed deeply, and spoke with utmost respect.

Even the greatest emperor cannot escape the truth of the world: the strong are respected!

Chen Qingyuan smiled without saying a word.

If Chen Qingyuan had ever harbored murderous intent, the one-eyed old man would certainly not have survived. In fact, his strength was not even comparable to Lu Hansheng's; at most, he was at the level of Ye Liujun and Rong Che.

Some extraterrestrial emperors, still harboring reservations, did not directly step into the eerie black mist. Therefore, when they witnessed this scene, their hearts trembled, and they were greatly shocked.
