Human Clan Defender

Chapter 1143: Chapter 168: Who Now Guards the Imperial Court of the Human Clan?

The elder just appeared, and with slightly clouded eyes, he scanned Shen Changqing from head to toe.

For a while.

He slightly nodded.

"Not bad, already coagulated a Chaos Dao Body, it seems like you’re just short of opening Cave Heaven!"

"May I ask who you, senior, are?"

Looking at the elder in front of him, Shen Changqing cupped his fists in inquiry, while harboring great alertness in his heart.

An unknown powerful presence.

Whether he held malice toward him was yet to be determined.

Even though he saw through his truth with one glance, considering the identity of the original golden skeleton from the Human Clan, he could ascertain this Dao Arms to largely be Human Clan Dao Arms.

But merely the identity of Human Clan Dao Arms wasn’t enough to let Shen Changqing completely lower his guard.

Upon hearing this.

The elder replied without words: "Didn’t I say it, I am Qingyi."

"...er, may I ask Qingyi senior’s identity?"

Shen Changqing tried another approach.

In one sentence.

Qingyi fell into contemplation.

After a long while, he came back from his reverie, somewhat uncertainly saying: "I remember, I seem to be the Holy Weapon of Qinglian Emperor, yes, yes, I am Qinglian Emperor’s Holy Weapon!"

Initially, Qingyi was somewhat unsure.

But now.

He was increasingly certain.

Looking at the person in front of him, Shen Changqing felt speechless in his heart.

What did that mean?

Don’t you know your own identity?

Yet.

From Qingyi’s words, he received some new information again.

Qinglian Emperor!

That should be the identity of the golden skeleton.

Before Shen Changqing could ask further, Qingyi started talking to himself: "Yes, back when Qinglian Emperor battled the strong ones amongst Heavens Myriad Clans, later those strong ones were slain and destroyed, the rules collapsed, scattered into the void.

Qinglian Emperor himself also suffered severe injuries, eventually had to sit in meditation here.

Calculating time, it should be several tens of millions of years!"

Several tens of millions ago!

Shen Changqing’s heart trembled.

Obviously, the Chaos Forbidden Zone had experienced a great battle, leading to Qingyi’s Qinglian Emperor’s fall, and many strong ones among Heavens Myriad Clans perished.

But those strong ones who perished, what exact level they were, was unknown.

However, one thing.

He was sure of.

The so-called Qinglian Emperor’s power was definitely not weaker than a Divine Lord, and quite possibly stronger than an average Divine Lord.

While Shen Changqing was silent.

Qingyi asked: "Do you know who is currently presiding over the Human Clan Imperial Court?"

"Imperial Court?"

Shen Changqing shook his head.

"I’ve never heard of the Imperial Court as a term, and moreover, nowadays the Human Clan no longer exists among Heavens Myriad Clans, to be honest, I’ve never encountered a second Human Clan strong one wandering among the heavens over these years."

Upon hearing this.

Qingyi’s expression was startled, as if hearing something incredible.

"Imperial Court is gone!"

The Human Clan Imperial Court, which was a top existence among Heavens Myriad Clans, turned out to be gone just like this.

Soon.

He seemed to recall something, thoughtfully nodding: "That’s true, Qinglian Emperor has fallen here, so the Imperial Court being gone is also normal."

After finishing saying this.

Qingyi looked at Shen Changqing, saying: "I was originally the Holy Weapon of Qinglian Emperor, now Qinglian Emperor has fallen, I myself am severely injured too, I wonder if you would provide a temporary place, allowing me to recover some Primordial Energy."

"Temporary place?"

Shen Changqing’s expression showed confusion.

He could not comprehend the other party’s meaning for a moment.

Qingyi said: "That’s within your chaos, I would reside within your chaos, borrowing its power to recover energy, but don’t worry, I wouldn’t siphon too much, each time you refine All-Things Energy, I’ll just take fifty percent—"

"I’m sorry!"

Shen Changqing turned away directly.

Entering his body was itself questionable, but siphoning fifty percent of his cultivation power thereafter?

In the long run.

His progress would inevitably be greatly hindered.

Seeing Shen Changqing turning away, Qingyi hurriedly spoke: "Don’t be rash in leaving, if you let me reside temporarily, there will naturally be corresponding benefits."

"What benefits?"

Shen Changqing paused his steps, turning back to look.

Qingyi lightly coughed: "Although I’m heavily damaged now, I still carry some strength, as long as you let me reside temporarily, should a Divine Lord level cultivator attack, I can surely defend against them for you.

Even though you now possess a Chaos Dao Body, you haven’t truly opened Cave Heaven, nor have you further broken through, wanting to fight cultivators of that level, you’re still very lacking.

With me here, you can at least to a certain extent, maintain an undefeated position."

To withstand a Divine Lord’s attack!

Shen Changqing’s heart stirred.

He understood the power of a Divine Lord very well, even with his current strength, he wouldn’t last one turn in front of such a mighty presence.

This Qinglian Emperor’s Holy Weapon dared claim to resist a Divine Lord’s assault.

For a moment.

Shen Changqing found it hard to distinguish the truth.

Seeing his hesitation, Qingyi thought he wasn’t interested, hurriedly added: "Moreover, I have existed for eons, the knowledge I possess is beyond your imagination.

As long as you are willing to shelter me, great benefits will follow.

And I am merely a Human Clan Holy Weapon, it poses no harm to you, at most borrowing some of your energy for recovery.

If you’re unwilling, you can halt my recovery anytime, how about it?"

If it were during my former peak, I surely wouldn’t spend so many words on a Cave Heaven Realm cultivator.

But the problem is.
