The "Daoist Ling" mentioned by Chen Xuanzong was naturally the Exalted Lunar Luminary – Ling Qing.
Needless to say, the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor was referring to one of the Four Imperials of Daoism – the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor.
Upon hearing the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor's name, Yan Zhaoge's gaze flickered slightly, and he fell into deep thought.
Just like what Chen Xuanzong had said, this person was naturally worthy of being called a legend.
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.
They had always been known as the Four Imperials of Dao along with the Great Emperor of the Purple Tenuity Polaris, the Great Emperor of the Sky Bearing Efficacious Virtue Great Earth Empress, and the Great Emperor of the North Star Upper Palace.
Moreover, among the Four Imperials, the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor could be said to be of the most authentic Three Clear lineage. He was the personal disciple of the Jade Clear Primordial Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning.
Dating back to the ancient Investiture of the Gods era, when he had yet to enter the Heavenly Court's Divine Palace and was still studying under the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning, he was known as the South Pole Immortal Weng.
The South Pole Immortal Weng was different from the South Pole Old Man. Traditionally, the South Pole Old Man was Lord Longevity God's nickname.
After the Investiture of the Gods era, the Southern Extremity Immortal Hermit entered the Heavenly Court's Divine Palace and became the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor.
In the days following the Great Calamity, there were many things that needed to be done for orthodox Daoism. The various branches of their legacies had all withered away, with only a few of them remaining. After many years of development, their legacies had finally shown signs of revival.
For example, Yan Zhaoge's grandfather, Yue Zhenbei's Master, Yan Xintang, was the Jade Cauldron Cultivated Deity's lineage.
The Astro Sovereign Chen Xuanzong's master could be traced back to the famous Virtuous Immortal Yun Zhongzi of the Jade Clear lineage.
The Exalted Earth Luminary – Jiang Shen's World beyond Worlds' New Kunlun Mountain's Qilin Cliff lineage was a branch of Guang Chengzi's lineage.
The Red Sea lineage that the Northwestern Exalt Lian Zulin controlled could be traced back to a branch of Master Red Essence's lineage.
In the past, one of the World beyond Worlds' Five Emperors, the Candle Sunlight Emperor, who had perished in the hands of Yan Zhaoge and Mars Halberd, belonged to the lineage of the Clear Illusory Virtuous True Lord.
As for Yan Zhaoge's mother Xue Chuqing, her Great Grand Master Shao Junhuang's lineage, the World beyond Worlds' Northeastern Exalt Liu Zhenggu's Green Sky Mountain's Grave Thunder Palace, and the Remote Cloud Mountain's Clear Light Locale's lineage of Misty Clouds' former Eastern Exalt Daoist Oneheaven's lineage, they all originated from the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor's lineage.
The Exalted Solar Luminary – Gao Han and the Exalted Lunar Luminary – Ling Qing originated from the Heavenly Court's Divine Palace before the Great Calamity. They had also been taught by the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor.
Due to this, martial practitioners of the Three Clear lineage would treat the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor with utmost respect, regardless of whether they agreed with him or not.
As such, Chen Xuanzong was willing to help Yan Zhaoge convey the message.
Although the two sides had clashed during the migration of the World beyond Worlds, with the passage of time, there weren't any obvious conflicts between them anymore.
Strictly speaking, the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor, Gao Han, Ling Qing, and the others were on the same path as Yan Zhaoge and the others.
Moreover, Yan Zhaoge still had to decide if he was willing to go or not.
"Since the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor is summoning me, I'll go," answered Yan Zhaoge after pondering for a while.
Although there weren't any obvious conflicts or irresolvable enmity, Yan Zhaoge still kept his guard up against the Exalted Solar Luminary – Gao Han. Otherwise, he might be betrayed by him at any time.
As for the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor, it was also possible.
Almighty powerhouses of that level, not to mention anything else, just the disparity in the amount of information they had in their hands was enough to easily toy with people in the palm of their hands.
However, Yan Zhaoge was more than happy to interact with the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor. This way, he could better understand the current situation and understand the truth.
Besides, he also had some questions in his heart. Perhaps, he could obtain answers from the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor.
"Since the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor has summoned you, the rest of us wouldn't be able to replace him." Yan Di said, "The Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor probably wouldn't purposely make things difficult for you. However, you have to be wary of others plotting against you in the dark."
Xue Chuqing stood quietly by the side and didn't express any opinion.
Strictly speaking, her lineage was the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor's lineage. It wouldn't be appropriate for her to support Yan Zhaoge's invitation.
As such, she didn't say anything and let Yan Zhaoge decide for himself.
"You're right. I'm thinking about this as well." Yan Zhaoge looked at Yan Di and Xue Chuqing and smiled, "The Exalted Solar Luminary's character is truly untrustworthy."
He turned his head and looked at Feng Yunsheng, "Yunsheng, just follow me. As long as the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor doesn't make things difficult for us juniors, there shouldn't be any problems."
"Of course, you have to be wary of the heretics, the Demon Race, and the Western Pure Lands' people."
Feng Yunsheng's expression was calm as she smiled and nodded.
Although the Pill Hall was operating under Yan Zhaoge's control and transformed into the Awakened Sky Cosmos, Yan Zhaoge didn't have to stay within the Pill Hall all the time.
Everything was already on the right track. As long as the rules were maintained, everything would be fine.
If there were any changes, Yan Zhaoge would have to take action again.
Normally, Xue Chuqing would maintain the formation and ensure that no changes would occur.
After notifying Gao Qingxuan, Long Xingquan, and the others in the Roving Jade Heavens, Yan Zhaoge and Feng Yunsheng left the Awakened Sky Cosmos.
"In the end, the Vine Sovereign still left." Along the way, Feng Yunsheng let out a soft sigh.
Yan Zhaoge shook his head, "Let her be. There's nothing we can do about it."
He looked at Feng Yunsheng, "How about you? Are you still able to hold on?"
"If I don't fight against others, I might be able to hold on for a few more years." Feng Yunsheng's expression was filled with helplessness.
Yan Zhaoge grinned. He also didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
While others wanted nothing more than to rush forward and climb higher, his wife was doing her best to slow down her rise.
The two looked at each other, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Yan Zhaoge and Feng Yunsheng chatted as they traversed through the void. According to the Astro Sovereign's guidance, they searched for the agreed location.
Very quickly, they found the foreign dimension.
After entering, a woman was already waiting there quietly.
She was the Exalted Lunar Luminary – Ling Qing, whom Yan Zhaoge had met during the battle within the Dao universe twenty years ago.
"Greetings to you, Exalted Lunar Luminary." Yan Zhaoge and Feng Yunsheng greeted Ling Qing together. After Ling Qing returned the greeting, her expression remained calm.
Her gaze swept across the two's faces.
She didn't pay much attention to Feng Yunsheng, who was somewhat related to her. Instead, her gaze lingered on Yan Zhaoge for a brief moment.
"Both of you, please follow me." After saying that, Ling Qing retracted her gaze and flew up. She exited the foreign dimension and headed towards the depths of the void's boundless outskirts.
