Yan Zhaoge and Feng Yunsheng followed behind Ling Qing and traversed through the void together.
Here, the flow of time became chaotic, and the changes were different.
Yan Zhaoge could only rely on his control over time to determine the flow of time. He couldn't rely on the flow of time in the outside world as the only reference.
Soon, they left that universe.
After advancing for a long time and traversing through many spaces, a large nebula appeared in front of them.
The nebula was in the form of a vortex, and it continuously revolved. Rays of starlight revolved around it, and finally left the nebula. They flew towards the faraway void and instantly disappeared.
Seeing this, Yan Zhaoge knew what was going on.
This should be the location where the two sides would meet up.
Currently, the two heretic factions, along with the Demon Race and orthodox Buddhism, were locked in a fierce battle. However, they were still paying attention to the Daoism Heavenly Lords.
The same logic applied to the Nine Underworlds.
If the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor wanted to escape from his half-drifting and half-slumber state and return to the mortal world like the North Star Emperor, he would have to be wary of his enemies.
The nebula in front of them was a decent disguise. At the very least, it could be used for a short period of time.
"We're here." As expected, Ling Qing said after arriving outside the nebula.
Yan Zhaoge and Feng Yunsheng nodded and followed her into the vortex at the center of the nebula.
The circulating starlights obstructed one's vision. When the radiance gradually dissipated, the three's vision was filled with a blur.
The environment here was similar to the Original Nebula. However, there were some differences.
"The Exalted Solar Luminary isn't here?" Yan Zhaoge looked around and didn't see Gao Han's figure.
Ling Qing said, "He isn't here, and he won't be coming. If you want to meet him, contact him now. He won't be able to make it here in such a short amount of time."
"That's a pity. I still want to thank him." Yan Zhaoge smiled, "My wife holds the Extreme Yin Crown and was fated to be with the Exalted Lunar Luminary. However, I've also obtained the Extreme Yang Seal. Along the way, I've borrowed your help more than once. I should be thanking the Exalted Solar Luminary."
"If there's a chance in the future, we'll meet again. When that happens, you can just discuss it in detail." Ling Qing didn't seem to care about this at all. She didn't continue the conversation. Instead, she stood by the void and waited quietly.
Yan Zhaoge and Feng Yunsheng also waited quietly where they were.
However, they were conversing privately via voice transmission. Ling Qing might be able to sense their conversation, but she wouldn't be able to know the details of their conversation.
"Gao Han does have some self-awareness." Yan Zhaoge shook his head and said with a smile, "Previously, the matter of him digging a trap for others was merely a legend. After experiencing the incident with the Exalted Concealed Luminary, everyone knows what kind of person he is."
Feng Yunsheng squinted at him. "If he doesn't show up, will you let your guard down?"
"Of course not." Said Yan Zhaoge without any hesitation. Then, he smiled, "He knew that we wouldn't. The only reason he did this was to express his sincerity and goodwill. He wanted to tell us that he didn't join hands with the Exalted Lunar Luminary to trick me into coming here. Instead, the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor had truly summoned me."
As he spoke, his heart suddenly stirred.
Feng Yunsheng didn't say anything either.
Thunder boomed in the nebula.
At this moment, the nebula the three of them were in seemed to transform into primordial chaos.
And at this moment, a clap of thunder rang out. It was like the first sound. Along with the clap of thunder, the primordial chaos split open.
Time and space transformed, the five elements circulated, myriad existences birthed, yin and yang intersected, and day and night alternated.
Thunderbolts were incomparably violent powers. However, they were currently in a subtle and stable equilibrium, forming a tranquil world.
Within this world, an extremely majestic will manifested, as if it was the ruler of creation.
"Jade Clear disciple Yan Zhaoge greets the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor." Yan Zhaoge stood within the thunderbolts world and bowed towards the empty void.
Although he didn't show himself, his identity was obvious.
One of Daoism's Four Imperials, the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor.
He controlled the weather of the four seasons, could summon the wind and rain, and could command the ghosts and deities of thunder and lightning. He was also the Lord of Divine Thunder that controlled the fate of myriad existences.
As such, he was also known as the Thunderbolt Cult Master, the Thunderbolt Assisting Heavenly Lord.
"Jade Clear disciple Feng Yunsheng greets the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor." Feng Yunsheng bowed towards the void as well.
Ling Qing also bowed respectfully, "Your Majesty."
Her personality had always been strange and cold. Others wouldn't be able to guess her thoughts. However, at this moment, she seemed to be sincerely convinced.
He wasn't like Jiang Shen, Chen Xuanzong, Yan Xintang and the others who were of the Three Clear Lineage.
Before the Great Calamity, Ling Qing was a member of the Heavenly Court's Divine Palace. She had even received the personal guidance of the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor. Strictly speaking, the two of them were half a master.
Only, the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor had done it casually back then. After the Great Calamity, Ling Qing had survived and returned to the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor's side to listen to his teachings. As a result, the two of them had gotten closer to one another.
When the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor and the North Star Emperor parted ways, Ling Qing had naturally stood on the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor's side.
In the void, a strange sound of thunder rang out, forming into indecipherable syllables. However, it was extremely natural, as if it was the truth of heaven and earth.
After adjusting the syllables slightly, Yan Zhaoge and the others began to understand the meaning within.
"You may dispense with the formalities." The voice was dignified yet calm.
"Your Majesty, I'll take my leave first," said Ling Qing. The voice of thunder in the void said, "It's fine. You may stay."
Ling Qing bowed, "As you command, Your Majesty."
After saying that, she didn't say anything else. Instead, she stood by the side quietly like a statue.
Upon seeing this, Feng Yunsheng didn't try to avoid it. She remained silent and stood by Yan Zhaoge's side.
"Jian Shunhua acted on her own accord and took a risk. In the end, she ended up in a state of neither survival nor death." The voice of thunder in the void continued speaking. He didn't mention the Pill Hall, the Sky beyond Skies, or the Roving Jade Heavens. Instead, he mentioned the Exalted Rahu Luminary – Jian Shunhua.
Yan Zhaoge and Feng Yunsheng's hearts tightened.
"Stealing the Doomsday Heavenly Devil's authority. You're too reckless. It's only natural for you to suffer such a fate. Only, you've suffered on behalf of others."
Feng Yunsheng vaguely felt a pair of eyes staring at her from the void.
The voice of thunder continued, "I have a treasure that I'll temporarily bestow upon you to prevent the Nine Underworlds from spying on you."
Feng Yunsheng turned her head to look at Yan Zhaoge. The two looked at each other and exchanged glances.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Feng Yunsheng bowed towards the void.
Within the tranquil world formed by the violent thunderbolts, a ray of lightning descended from the sky and struck the void.
After the lightning dissipated, a delicate black jade bottle appeared in front of Yan Zhaoge and Feng Yunsheng.
Upon seeing the black jade bottle, Feng Yunsheng's heart jolted slightly. She went forward and kept it.
"May I know what instructions do you have for me, Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor?" asked Yan Zhaoge.
If it was only for the sake of Feng Yunsheng and the Doomsday Heavenly Devil, he could have asked someone to deliver this black jade bottle to her.
Since they were meeting, there should be other reasons.
"You've been to the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus before, right?" The voice of thunder resounded within the void again.
