Yan Zhaoge and Xue Chuqing stared at each other for a while, both in a daze.
Before they met, they hadn't thought that they would actually use the same method to resolve the awkwardness.
Such tacit understanding made them even more awkward in an instant.
However, after a while, they miraculously relaxed and looked at each other with more warmth in their eyes.
Of course, Yan Di's laughter was even more piercing.
Yan Zhaoge looked at Yan Di speechlessly.
His father's expression was even rarer than a solar eclipse.
Xue Chuqing glanced at Yan Di discontentedly.
He actually laughed at her in front of her son. That was intolerable!
Being stared at by the two at the same time, Yan Di laughed even louder.
For so many years, today was the happiest day of his life.
Yan Zhaoge and Xue Chuqing couldn't help but shake their heads and laugh helplessly.
Facing each other, they still felt a little awkward. However, they finally relaxed a little.
They didn't deliberately start chatting again. Instead, they just continued talking about the previous topic.
"If possible, I don't intend to go to the Roving Jade Heavens." Yan Zhaoge said first, "That way, although we will be safe, the pressure will be transferred to senior apprentice-uncle Yue and Jade Capital Crag. With Earthly Sovereign and Concealed Sovereign together, senior apprentice-uncle Yue will be in a difficult position."
Yan Di also stopped smiling and said solemnly, "That's right."
"It's not without reason that I haven't been to the Roving Jade Heavens all these years." Xue Chuqing smiled bitterly, "Great Grand Master has a deep grudge against the Roving Jade Heavens."
As she said this, she suddenly looked at Yan Di with some hesitation.
Yan Di and Yan Zhaoge both looked away tacitly.
They had also thought about the seniority problem brought by the Exalted Gold Luminary and the Exalted Wood Luminary.
Therefore, they should just pretend to be ignorant about this matter …
"Concealed Sovereign and Earthly Sovereign are close. Senior apprentice-uncle Yue can't do it alone." Yan Zhaoge coughed and continued seriously, "We need to find someone who can help senior apprentice-uncle Yue share the pressure."
Yan Di's eyes flickered slightly, "… Astro Sovereign!"
"That's right." Yan Zhaoge nodded, "Rumor has it that the Astro Sovereign and my grandfather are very close. If we can get him to help us, senior apprentice-uncle Yue will feel less pressure."
"However, I don't know how to contact Astro Sovereign with the limited clues I have. Although I guess he is in the World beyond Worlds, it's not easy to find him after so many years without any news."
Yan Zhaoge pondered as he said, "I don't know who will return first, senior apprentice-uncle Yue or the Earthly Sovereign. Therefore, we can't just keep waiting. When the need arises, we can only go look for the Female Emperor."
"She might not get along well with that Senior Chu, but since it's related to the Astro Sovereign, Female Monarch will definitely pay attention to it. At least she can get some clues."
Hearing this, Xue Chuqing asked softly, "What is the basis for saying that the Astro Sovereign is in the World beyond Worlds?"
Yan Zhaoge immediately told him about Chu Lili's matter.
"I see …" Xue Chuqing pondered for a moment before saying, "If that's the case, we might as well head to the northern Profound Heaven Territory. The Northern Exalt might know some things."
Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di both felt taken aback.
"I don't know much about the situation of the Astro Sovereign, and I don't know much about that Senior Chu either. But my master once mentioned her name when he was still alive." Xue Chuqing explained.
Yan Zhaoge's interest was aroused, "What do you mean?"
Even Wang Pu and the others of Yue Zhenbei's lineage didn't know much about Chu Lili's situation.
"That Senior Chu seems to be related to the demonic dao and the Nine Underworlds." Xue Chuqing said solemnly.
"Nine Underworlds?" Yan Zhaoge frowned slightly.
Thinking of Chu Lili's appearance, he felt rather surprised as he hadn't noticed anything wrong with her at the time.
Xue Chuqing said, "I'm not so sure either. But this should be a clue. The Astro Sovereign vanished rather suddenly back then. There must be a reason for this abnormality."
Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di nodded slowly.
The reason why Xue Chuqing suggested looking for the Northern Exalt was also very obvious.
There were often dimensional passageways leading to the land of tranquil streams in the northern Profound Heaven Territory, which was the frontline of the World beyond Worlds in contact with the Nine Underworlds. One of the responsibilities of the Northern Exalt was to monitor these unstable dimensional passageways that appeared from time to time.
If the matter of the Astro Sovereign and Chu Lili was related to the Nine Underworlds, then the most likely place to find the Astro Sovereign was not the Kunlun Mountain of the central Jun Heaven Territory but the northern Profound Heaven Territory.
"It's still uncertain whether we can find the Astro Sovereign." Yan Zhaoge lightly rubbed his temples, "Even if we find him, the Astro Sovereign might not help us."
It wasn't that the Astro Sovereign didn't want to help.
Instead, there was most likely some special reason for him to vanish mysteriously back then.
If his attention was tied up and he couldn't get away, he might not have the time to help.
Yan Di said slowly, "There's another problem that we have to consider."
"The possibility of the Earthly Sovereign and the Concealed Sovereign advancing to a higher level." Yan Zhaoge's eyes flickered.
Unlike the Sword Sovereign – Yue Zhenbei who rose up later, the Earthly Sovereign and the Concealed Sovereign had already been sovereigns for thousands of years. They had long stood at the peak of their realm.
Who knew when they would succeed in taking a step forward?
"Therefore, we have to think of other methods as well. Multitasking is the right way."
As Yan Zhaoge said this, he secretly glanced at Xue Chuqing.
Xue Chuqing understood what he meant. She shook her head and said, "Don't look at me like that. I don't know where the Great Grand Master is either."
The Great Grand Master she mentioned was naturally the Exalted Wood Luminary of the Kunlun Nine Luminaries.
"Then what about the Bright Connection Emperor?" Yan Zhaoge asked.
The Bright Connection Emperor might not be able to help alleviate the pressure brought by the Earthly Sovereign and the Concealed Sovereign.
Still, if the Bright Connection Emperor knew where her Master, the Exalted Wood Luminary was, that would be great.
"Grand Master has already passed away." Xue Chuqing sighed.
"Erm … sorry." Yan Zhaoge instantly smiled bitterly.
Xue Chuqing shook her head, "It's fine."
She said slowly, "It's not like there's no way at all. While the Great Grand Master's situation is unclear, we can try to contact someone else."
"It's just that after receiving the message, we can't guarantee whether the other party will respond."
"Also …" Xue Chuqing paused for a moment before continuing, "I have some doubts about contacting the other party."
Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di both grew interested, "What do you mean?"
"Firstly, the other party has long since left the World beyond Worlds. We don't know how far or where he is. He also didn't leave behind any keepsake. If we want to contact him, ordinary methods won't work," Xue Chuqing said, "If we want to contact him, we have to use a special method."
"This method wasn't passed down from my lineage. Instead, I obtained it from somewhere else. After analysing it in private, I feel that it isn't so simple."
Xue Chuqing explained, "Actually, I have already made preparations for this as I roamed the lands all these years. It's just that my progress has been limited due to limited conditions."
"Connecting the places where you have been previously, we will be able to obtain something special …" Yan Zhaoge's eyes lit up, "Because there are too many illusions that you have left behind, it is very difficult to distinguish the true location. Therefore, I still can't tell what exactly you are setting up. From what you've said, there is indeed something special about it?"
