Chapter 2448 Friend, Regret

When presented with such lucrative opportunity, how could Chen Qingyuan possibly refuse?

Moreover, one should not refuse a gift from one's elders.

Chen Qingyuan grabbed the brocade box with a broad smile.

At this moment, Emperor Taiwei radiated countless rays of light in Chen Qingyuan's eyes, his handsome appearance unmatched by anyone in the world.

Upon seeing this, the expressions of the others underwent subtle changes.

It was thought that Emperor Taiwei wanted to keep the Origin Dao Leaf for himself, but unexpectedly he gave it to Chen Qingyuan in a decisive and unhesitating manner.

Their relationship was deeper than expected.

Everyone fell silent, their emotions extremely complex.

The emperors looked at the brocade box in Chen Qingyuan's hand, and it would be a lie to say they weren't envious. Although they were very tempted, they didn't dare to entertain any thoughts of competing for it.

With the Great Emperor Taiwei presiding over this place, who would dare to steal it!

The Azure Scale Saint King, enraged at losing his treasure, dared not take a single step forward. For he saw the desolate abyss in the eyes of the Taiwei Emperor, and knew that if he did not know his place, he would surely fall into the abyss and never be redeemed.

From the very beginning, Emperor Taiwei didn't take these extraterrestrial emperors seriously. His attention was entirely focused on Mu Cangyan.

Now was not a good time to study it, so Chen Qingyuan immediately put away the Origin Dao Leaf. He would study it properly when the opportunity arose.

With the Primordial Dao Leaf and the Chaos Dao Medicine as his guide, Chen Qingyuan will surely be able to break through the barriers and restrictions of heaven and earth and forge a unique path to becoming an emperor.

The realm was silent. The heroes watched Emperor Taiwei, not daring to speak loudly or make any disrespectful gestures.

"Let's go!"

Emperor Taiwei spoke to Chen Qingyuan in a gentle tone.

"I have a friend; may we travel together?"

Chen Qingyuan glanced at Gongsun Rong beside him and made a request.

"Naturally."

Emperor Taiwei would certainly grant this favor and would not refuse.

Although Emperor Taiwei said there was no need for so much formality, Chen Qingyuan still had to express his gratitude, so he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you."

Emperor Taiwei smiled slightly in response.

The friend they were talking about, is... me... me?

Gongsun Rong found himself being stared at intently by the Taiwei Emperor. His bones trembled violently, almost breaking apart. His expression was one of astonishment and disbelief.

"Brother Gongsun, let's go!"

Chen Qingyuan's words confirmed Gongsun Rong's suspicions.

At this moment, Gongsun Rong was clearly stunned.

For him, there were no major emotional fluctuations when he attained enlightenment and became emperor, and he was unable to react for a while.

Just a quarter of an hour ago, Gongsun Rong thought he had chosen the wrong path and was about to perish with Chen Qingyuan. In the blink of an eye, he had established a connection with the unfathomable Taiwei Emperor and was even able to join him in the game.

Life is full of ups and downs, it's so exciting!

After a few breaths, Gongsun Rong tried his best to remain calm and quickly replied, "Oh...oh."

Then, he quickly walked to Chen Qingyuan's side and asked in a low voice, "Brother Chen, what...what is your relationship with Emperor Taiwei?"

Without hesitation, Chen Qingyuan blurted out, "Friend."

friend?

I don't think so; they seem more like blood relatives.

Gongsun Rong muttered to himself, but dared not say it aloud.

To put it nicely, they are blood relatives; to put it bluntly, they are one's own son.

Then again, even a biological son wouldn't receive this kind of treatment!

No matter how confused he was, Gongsun Rong had to keep it to himself and couldn't speak his mind. He was well aware of his current situation. Although he had become friends with Chen Qingyuan, they had only known each other for a short time and their relationship was not yet strong. If he said the wrong thing, he would be asking for trouble.

Observe more, talk less.

If there is an opportunity in the future, I will communicate with Chen Qingyuan more.

So, Gongsun Rong and Chen Qingyuan traveled together, following behind Emperor Taiwei. His skeletal eyes were two flickering eerie flames, constantly observing the surroundings with a mixture of tension and anticipation.

Even if we cannot attain the path to immortality, we can still witness it. This journey has truly been worthwhile!

Fortunately, I met Chen Qingyuan; otherwise, I wouldn't have had such an honor.

"It's a big loss."

The Azure Scale Saint Lord pondered for a long time, but ultimately dared not make a move against the Taiwei Emperor. He mentally rehearsed the situation many times, but could not find any opportunity to win.

Although the two sides have never officially fought, one can make a judgment based on the superb skills displayed by Emperor Taiwei.

Had he known this would happen, the Azure Scale Saint Lord would never have attacked Chen Qingyuan.

Initially, his plan was very clear: even if Chen Qingyuan had someone behind him, it wouldn't be a big deal. He had already reached the pinnacle of the world and obtained the Origin Dao Leaf, so he could definitely make a clean getaway.

Who would have thought that the Great Emperor Taiwei possessed such heaven-defying abilities, turning the tide and altering the rules of the void, leaving the Azure Scale Saint Lord with nowhere to go.

What a miscalculation!

The Azure Scale Saint King was filled with remorse.

Unfortunately, things had already progressed to this point, and no matter how much he regretted it, he couldn't change the situation.

Get in! Seek the truth!

Either you die and your cultivation vanishes, or you advance to the next level!

It seems that Emperor Taiwei has no intention of taking action against Qinglin Saint Monarch, which gives Qinglin Saint Monarch a sense of relief. His eyes turn sinister as he resolves to strive to reach the peak.

Once my own strength has improved, I will then challenge Emperor Taiwei.

Although the possibility is not high, we must remain steadfast in our beliefs and not waver in our pursuit of the Way.

clatter! clatter!

Emperor Taiwei walked slowly towards the eerie black mist, and stopped at the entrance.

His eyes held boundless mystery, his gaze piercing through the layers of rules within the sea of ​​mist, reaching its depths, where he met Mu Cangyan's eyes.

The two old acquaintances met and both recalled that earth-shattering battle a million years ago.

Mu Cangyan desperately wanted to obtain the Dao Fruit of the Taiwei Emperor, but he was also very wary and hesitated to take any action. He also used all sorts of methods to hide his whereabouts.

It wasn't until Emperor Taiwei entered his later years, his vital energy and blood were depleted, and his strength had clearly declined, that Mu Cangyan dared to show herself, and even then, she appeared in a sneak attack.

Even so, Mu Cangyan only won by half a move.

Emperor Taiwei perished, but not because Mu Cangyan killed him; rather, he was exhausted by the great battle and his vitality was depleted.

Mu Cangyan was wounded and retreated, hiding deep on the other side of the river, where he remained silent for many years.

Having experienced that battle, Mu Cangyan truly understood the terror of the Taiwei Emperor.

That is why the lingering remnant of Emperor Taiwei has been supporting the crumbling divine bridge. Mu Cangyan has never dared to destroy it, fearing it might be a trap and that his millions of years of planning would be in vain.

A million years have passed in a single glance. When the two meet again, ripples stir in their hearts, their gazes change slightly, and they are filled with emotion.

"Taiwei, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

After a few breaths of eye contact, Mu Cangyan opened his mouth and spoke.
