Due to the arrival of the Female Emperor and the Heaven Emperor, the thick earth that had previously obscured the sky was already slowly breaking apart.
Due to the descent of the Female Emperor and the Heaven Emperor, the thick earth that had previously obscured the sky was already slowly breaking apart.
The Royal Reed Sea had seen the light of day once more. Still, the scenes of the world had long since changed completely.
Currently, three powerful auras emanated from Circumference Mountain in the west of the Royal Reed Sea, heading straight for Broad Creed Mountain in the Spirit Inheritance Region of the Royal Reed Sea.
The sword-light that split the heavens and the earth arrived before them in an instant.
The sword-light gradually grew dim, three figures appearing within.
One of them was a tall, white-clothed youth who was handsome and transcendent.
A sword hung by his waist. While it was in its sheath, it still caused one's heart to tremble.
As soon as it was unsheathed, it would shock the heavens.
The bright sword-light enveloped this white-clothed youth's entire body. Wherever he passed, space and time seemed to be slashed apart as all things got out of his way.
On the left and right of this white-clothed youth were two other people.
The one on the right was a middle-aged man.
While this middle-aged man looked unprepossessing, he was similarly covered in bright sword-light that seemed like it could split the heavens and split the earth apart.
The one on the left was a black-clothed youth. While he could be considered handsome, he had a rather cold aura as he was silent.
The sword-light on his body did not flourish as he just silently walked alongside the white-clothed youth and the middle-aged man, arriving before the Heaven Emperor and the Female Emperor.
The three first glanced at Broad Creed Mountain. Seeing that Yan Zhaoge, Yan Di and Broad Creed Mountain were fine, they all nodded slightly.
As Zhuang Shen, Lang Qing and the others saw this, their pupils involuntarily dilated slightly.
That white-clothed youth led the way as the three first greeted the Female Emperor, "This junior greets the Female Emperor."
The Female Emperor nodded, "You arrived a little late."
"We were the ones who were delayed." The white-clothed youth bowed before straightening himself, looking towards the Heaven Emperor, "Your Majesty, Heaven Emperor."
The Heaven Emperor's gaze shifted from Yan Zhaoge to the trio as he was silent for a long time.
Beside him, the Western Exalt Lang Qing's face was dark, "Bai Tao, you actually came here."
That white-clothed youth said, "While you and Southern Zhuang were willing to offer some benefits to my southwest Vermillion Heaven Territory, of my Master's orders, I naturally had to follow them rather than what you offered."
The white-clothed youth's name was Bai Tao.
Still, in the World beyond Worlds, people were more familiar with another name.
The ruler of the southwestern Vermillion Heaven Territory, the Southwestern Exalt.
If Bai Tao was merely the Southwestern Exalt, the Heaven Emperor's expression would not be so solemn at this moment.
The reason why a True Immortal Great Emperor, who had pushed open the Gate of Immortality, was not because of Bai Tao and the other two, but because of their master.
The trio of the Southwestern Exalt Bai Tao hailed from Jade Capital Crag of the central Jun Heaven Territory's Kunlun Mountain's Northern High Peak.
Their Master was the current supreme existence of the World beyond Worlds, the Sword Sovereign of the Three Sovereigns!
Among the Three Sovereigns, the Sword Sovereign was the youngest, but he had always been on par with the Earthly Sovereign and the Concealed Sovereign.
He was still in the outer realm and had yet to return.
However, the appearance of Bai Tao's group of three here made it hard for people not to think about it.
In particular, with just the three of them, the empress wouldn't be able to make a move.
"Having obtained the legacy of the former Dim Radiant Emperor Yin Tianxia, Yan Zhaoge is Yin Tianxia's true descendant!" Lang Qing said hoarsely, "Even if the Sword Sovereign cherishes talent, he would still have to think thrice over the entanglement within …"
Bai Tao shook his head, "West Lang, do you still not understand?"
Looking at Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di, he sighed mightily, "They are surnamed Yan!"
Lang Qing was taken aback, "Surnamed Yan … wait!"
He looked like he had seen a ghost as he looked in shock at Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di, "It's that Yan?!"
Zhuang Shen, Daoist Oneheaven, Lian Zulin and even Cao Jie and Liu Zhenggu were all puzzled at first before looks of shock appeared on their faces.
Everyone looked at Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di, Lian Zulin blurting out, "They are Yan Xintang's descendants!"
On Broad Creed Mountain, many people were at a loss.
Still, there was also a name that only existed in history and legends that surfaced in the minds of some of them.
Yan Xintang.
As compared to his actual name, more people knew his title.
One of the new Kunlun Nine Luminaries who had stabilised the World beyond Worlds that year, the Exalted Gold Luminary!
The number one figure of Daoism in the dao of the sword after the Great Calamity, the Sword God Yan Xintang!
It was not without reason that Lang Qing, Zhuang Shen and the others were able to relate this ancient legend to the scene before them.
The current Sword Sovereign of the World beyond Worlds' Three Sovereigns was precisely the personal disciple of the Exalted Gold Luminary, the successor to his legacy!
"Could the Sword Sovereign have made a mistake?" Zhuang Shen said in a heavy tone, "The father and son of Broad Creed Mountain's Yan Family originate from a lower world. They are not locals of the World beyond Worlds."
"If they are of the same surname, the Exalted Solar Luminary of the Kunlun Nine Luminaries and the Profound Sovereign of the Roving Jade Heavens were both surnamed Gao. Still, I don't see them being related by blood at all!"
Looking at Zhuang Shen, Bai Tao saw that while the other party's expression was solemn, his gaze seemed to surge with blazing flames.
He sighed softly, "They are Grand Master's descendants, but they are not just any descendants."
As Bai Tao said this, he gazed at Yan Di with a rather complex gaze, "Speaking of this, this Bai has to call him senior apprentice-uncle."
Zhuang Shen looked disbelievingly at Yan Di, "He is the son of the Exalted Gold Luminary?!"
"It is not strange that Zhuang Shen and Lang Qing have not heard of him." The Female Emperor now said mildly from the side, "You should have heard of the Exalted Gold Luminary's wife before, Heaven Emperor."
The Heaven Emperor who had been silent all along finally spoke now, "Sword Emperor Di Qinglian of the Roving Jade Heavens!"
Sword God Yan Xintang.
Sword Emperor Di Qinglian.
The union of the two most outstanding geniuses of the dao of the sword of post-Great Calamity Daoism a few thousand years ago was something few people knew of now. Still, back in his youth, the Heaven Emperor's name had reverberated like thunder.
"Yan … Di, Yan Di, what a Yan Di!" The expression on the Heaven Emperor's face changed, "If not for this name, this humble Daoist would instead have paid attention to his surname."
Standing quietly beside his father, Yan Zhaoge turned and saw that Yan Di's expression was devoid of joy or sorrow, just that his gaze was growing increasingly sharp.
Looking at the Heaven Emperor again, Yan Zhaoge could imagine how despondent he must be.
Yan Di's name was a combination of the surnames of his parents.
Still, it was rumoured that the Exalted Gold Luminary and his wife had already been dead for over two thousand years.
Meanwhile, Yan Di was still not even a hundred years old!
This just did not add up.
It would probably be more believable to say that it was a coincidence.
The gazes of the Heaven Emperor and the others that looked at the Female Emperor and Bai Tao were filled with rage as they felt that the other party was intentionally making a fool out of them.
"This humble Daoist has seen a portrait of the Exalted Gold Luminary before," The Heaven Emperor exhaled slowly, "If they were biological father and son, how could there be no similarities?"
"The flesh and blood of the Sword God and the Sword Emperor instead cultivates in sabre arts?"
"With so many contradictions, how can you be certain that he is a descendant of the Exalted Gold Luminary?"
The Female Emperor Jie Mingkong smiled coldly, not deigning to answer him.
The Southwestern Exalt Bai Tao remained courteous as he cupped his hands towards the Heaven Emperor, "Heaven Emperor, please look over there."
Following his finger, the Heaven Emperor's gaze abruptly focused.
A clump of clouds that resembled a blooming lotus floated silently above Yan Di's head.
Chaotic and dim, the boundaries of time and space were blurry amidst the clump of clouds.
