"Oh?" Looking at Xue Chuqing, Yan Zhaoge asked interestedly, "Which three?"
Yan Di gazed over with some seriousness in his eyes as well.
Xue Chuqing raised three fingers. "First, the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor."
"Speaking of which, my lineage is one of the direct lineages of the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor."
The Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor was also known as the Jade Clear True Monarch. His full name was the Supreme Divine Firmament Jade Clear True Monarch Longevity Emperor Heaven Origin Sage Heavenly Venerate.
"The second is the North Star Monarch, one of the Four Imperials of Daoism alongside the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor."
North Star Great Emperor's full name was North Star Upper Palace Heavenly Sovereign Great Emperor.
The North Star Emperor, the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor, the North Star Emperor, and the Earth Queen were known as the Four Imperials of Daoism. They were all top-notch figures of Daoism.
"The third one, in terms of seniority and history, is even older." Xue Chuqing said, "She is the source of the Roving Jade Heavens' lineage, the personal disciple of the Prime Clear Lord of Numinous Treasure Heavenly Ancestor, the Incongruence Divine Mother."
Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di both lightly recited the names of these three bigwigs of Daoism, gradually comprehending some things.
"The Incongruence Divine Mother doesn't need to say much. She's the big shot behind the Roving Jade Heavens." Yan Zhaoge said, "As for the other two, the Exalted Wood Luminary, Exalted Solar Luminary, and Exalted Lunar Luminary, the one standing behind them is the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor?"
Yan Di asked, "The Heavenly Lord behind the Earthly Sovereign and the Concealed Sovereign is the North Star Emperor?"
"That's right." Xue Chuqing said, "The three of them often reside in extradimensional space. Still, the World beyond Worlds and the Roving Jade Heavens are inseparable from them."
Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di both nodded in understanding.
In the World beyond Worlds, the Roving Jade Heavens, and even lower worlds like the Eight Extremities World, the North Star Emperor and the others would be easily located by the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord in such a stable world.
They floated outside, always existing in the foreign void. They even changed their state of existence, entering a state of half-sleep and half-drifting. In this state of existence and non-existence, even the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord found it difficult to track them down.
Not to mention that the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord was still competing with the Future Buddha.
With this, they would be able to ensure the safety of the World beyond Worlds, the Roving Jade Heavens and the other worlds of Daoism while preserving their strength.
Between everyone, a fragile balance was formed.
The Immortal Court was also willing to focus most of its energy on the Buddhist Sect.
While the North Star Emperor sought stability and avoided conflict with the Immortal Court and the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord as much as possible, he would definitely not remain in the World beyond Worlds and entrust his safety to others unless it was absolutely necessary.
Still, as Xue Chuqing had said, the relationship between them and the World beyond Worlds and the Roving Jade Heavens was something that could never be severed.
When the Kunlun Nine Luminaries had read the Heaven Opening Scripture together and established the World beyond Worlds, it was with the secret support of the North Star Emperor and the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor that they had finally established a safe haven for orthodox Daoism.
As for the Roving Jade Seven, the Roving Jade Heavens was also backed by the Incongruence Divine Mother.
Back then, the reason why the New Kunlun Nine Luminaries split up was because the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor and the North Star Monarch had different opinions.
In the end, the Exalted Wood Luminary and the others who supported the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor left the World beyond Worlds.
This was also an unavoidable result.
After all, the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord and the Immortal Court would definitely deal a greater blow to the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor's faction. This went without saying.
"The Roving Jade Heavens are even more radical than our faction." Xue Chuqing sighed, "Therefore, all these years, the number of peak experts of the Roving Jade Heavens has always been less than that of the World beyond Worlds. Many of them have perished in their conflicts with the Immortal Court."
"That old Grand Master of theirs has been injured time and time again. It is likely that he will not be able to recover from his injuries."
Yan Zhaoge stroked his lower chin, "Actually, I have always had a question."
"It is not just the Immortal Court. There is also Buddhism. While they oppose each other, we disciples of orthodox Daoism could all be illuminated by them. Even if they do not touch the comparatively gentle World beyond Worlds, they should not tolerate the violent Roving Jade Heavens, right?"
Yan Zhaoge had passed by many other Buddhist worlds besides the Obscured Way World when he had first arrived at Buddhism.
From this, it can be seen that Buddhism is not just outwardly strong but inwardly weak. Instead, it is truly powerful. "
Due to the protection of the Future Buddha, Buddhism had not suffered a great blow to its vitality like Daoism had. Its foundation was even better than that of the Immortal Court and the orthodox Three Clear lineage.
"For the Immortal Court and Buddhism, orthodox Daoism which has at least three Heavenly Lords in this world is not something that can be extinguished with a flick of a finger." Yan Zhaoge waved his palm lightly, "Since that is so, why don't they first join forces to illuminate and divide us of the Three Clear lineage before they decide the victor amongst themselves?"
Xue Chuqing shook her head, "There might be some hidden reasons behind this. I am not sure about that."
"The waters are deeper than I had thought …" Yan Zhaoge muttered to himself.
Many thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.
It was just that most of them were guesses that could not be verified at the moment. Thus, he could only temporarily toss them to the back of his mind.
Yan Zhaoge regained his wits. Looking first at his father and then at his mother, he spread his palms apart, "There are two most important problems that we have to face now."
"Firstly, are our opponents in the World beyond Worlds only the Earthly Sovereign and the Concealed Sovereign? Or … might the North Star Emperor personally make a move?"
"Secondly, will the Immortal Court make use of this chance to make a move?"
Yan Zhaoge lightly rubbed his temples, "On the other hand, will the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor just sit by the side and watch the show?"
"It's hard to say. It depends on the situation between the Immortal Court and the blessed lands," said Xue Chuqing.
Yan Zhaoge clapped his hands lightly, "Then, let us focus on the present."
"Previously, I was wandering around everywhere and had to pay attention to hiding my traces. It took a lot of time and effort to set up the Area Latitude Formation." Xue Chuqing said, "Now, thanks to you guys, I can move freely within the World beyond Worlds. It would be much faster if I want to set up the formation."
"Only, even if we know that the Exalted Solar Luminary might have something up his sleeves, are we still going according to our original plan?"
Yan Di said slowly, "At the very least, our opponents might be from the same side. So, it's fine for us to move forward first. The key is in the future."
Xue Chuqing nodded, "Then let's try contacting the Exalted Fire and see if he would reply."
"Mother, try contacting the Exalted Fire here. I'll go look for the Astro Sovereign," said Yan Zhaoge.
However, at the same time, a voice quickly appeared in his mind.
"Gao Han's thoughts are crafty. He seldom plays useless chess."
"He might not do it intentionally, but I might do it intentionally."
Mars Halberd's words from back then appeared in Yan Zhaoge's mind again.
"This is a huge pit …" Yan Zhaoge narrowed his eyes, "Let's see who gets buried in it in the end."
He suddenly thought of something and asked Xue Chuqing, "Right, mother, there's one more thing."
"Hmm?" Xue Chuqing asked, "What is it?"
"How much do you know about the Great Calamity?" Yan Zhaoge asked softly.
