"There's a beginning and an end. It's only natural," said Feng Yunsheng upon hearing Yan Zhaoge mentioning the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor.
The trust between the two was still limited. The Exalted Lunar Luminary – Ling Qing was aware of this as well. As such, she didn't ask for Yan Zhaoge and the others' contact details. However, she left a method for them to contact her.
While Yan Zhaoge and Feng Yunsheng were chatting within the void's boundless outskirts, they were communicating with Ling Qing.
After transmitting the time and location of their meeting, the two continued on their way.
After arriving at the agreed location, Yan Zhaoge and Feng Yunsheng concealed their whereabouts and waited for the other party's arrival out of caution.
Yan Zhaoge was proficient in concealing his aura. Feng Yunsheng was also proficient in this after mastering some of the Exalted Rahu Luminary – Jian Shunhua's martial arts profundities.
In the past, among the New Kunlun Nine Luminaries, the Exalted Rahu Luminary – Jian Shunhua specialized in assassination. Naturally, she was proficient in concealment. Although her saber was incomparably violent, it remained silent and concealed after sheathing it.
The two waited patiently. After a long time, a stream of radiance suddenly flickered from afar.
Only, this radiance wasn't as cold and serene as Ling Qing's moonlight. Instead, it resembled the rising sun.
Upon seeing this, Yan Zhaoge and Feng Yunsheng looked at each other, "… Gao Han?"
The one who came wasn't the Exalted Lunar Luminary – Ling Qing, but the Exalted Solar Luminary – Gao Han!
He was the one that Yan Zhaoge had always been on guard against.
The sunlight stopped near them, and the golden radiance dissipated. A white-clothed man's silhouette was revealed. It was Gao Han.
With a leisurely expression, he placed his hands behind his back and looked around at the empty cosmic void. He wasn't in a hurry, and he patiently waited.
Feng Yunsheng turned her head around, and Yan Zhaoge stroked his chin.
It wasn't a coincidence that Ling Qing contacted him previously.
If Gao Han had any self-awareness, he would know that the impression he left on Yan Zhaoge, Chen Xuanzong, Yue Zhenbei, and the others was terrible.
His arrival would naturally cause Yan Zhaoge and the others to be on guard, and they might even refuse to interact with him.
That was why he chose to stay out of the matter and let Ling Qing contact Yan Zhaoge and the others.
But now, he had taken the initiative to act.
A playful expression appeared on Yan Zhaoge's face as he said after a moment, "Let's be a bit more generous. Since the other party has come here, we'll just have to meet them."
Saying so, the two of them appeared in the void, appearing in front of Gao Han.
Gao Han immediately sensed it and looked over. Seeing Yan Zhaoge and Feng Yunsheng, a smile appeared on his face, "Seeing is believing. You and your wife are indeed dragons and phoenixes amongst men."
"Exalted Solar Luminary is overpraising me." Yan Zhaoge's expression was as per usual as no abnormalities could be seen in it at all, "Speaking of this, I should be the one thanking you. The Extreme Yang Seal that you forged that year helped me overcome many difficulties in the past."
This was the first time they had met.
But only the heavens knew that their understanding of each other had already surpassed that of many people who had interacted with each other for many years.
Gao Han faintly smiled, "You are mocking me. Back then, in that lower domain, my act of a cicada shedding its carapace was really laughable."
Yan Zhaoge didn't ask Gao Han why he came instead of Ling Qing. He directly said, "The two of us entered the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus and entered the Obscured Way World. Coincidentally, the Western Pure Lands' orthodox Buddhism experts invaded the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus, causing chaos in the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus. We had more time than we expected, which is why we stayed for a while longer before escaping."
"Currently, we and the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor were already aware of it." Gao Han nodded, "The invaders were led by the Namo Victorious Fighting Buddha. If the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus' Maitreya Buddha didn't make an appearance, no one could stop them. Afterward, the Demon Race's Great Sage who Pacifies Heavens – Bull Demon King took action and stopped the Namo Victorious Fighting Buddha's attack."
"After that, the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus continuously mobilized more troops, and other Demon Race experts arrived as well. The Namo Victorious Fighting Buddha and the Western Pure Lands' Bhantes realized that they couldn't gain any advantage and retreated from the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus."
He smiled, "This was something that everyone didn't expect. However, the outcome was beneficial to us."
Previously, in order to conceal Yan Zhaoge's infiltration into the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus' Obscured Way World, he and the Exalted Lunar Luminary – Ling Qing had caused some commotion in the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus in an attempt to attract the Buddhism heretics' attention.
The Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor even revealed some traces of himself in hopes of restraining the other party.
Under normal circumstances, if the Western Pure Lands didn't suddenly interfere, the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor and Gao Han would have to expend quite a bit of effort to escape.
However, with the Western Pure Lands' large-scale invasion, the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus had shifted their attention there, allowing Gao Han and the others to escape with greater ease.
"Just as the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor predicted, someone was indeed suppressed beneath the Five Elements Mountain." Yan Zhaoge calmly answered, "Fortunately, I didn't disappoint you and successfully reached the Five Elements Mountain's bottom."
"The one being suppressed there was the Great Sage Equalling Heavens – Monkey King – Sun Wukong."
Upon hearing this answer, Gao Han's gaze flickered, "The Great Sage Equalling Heavens? There are two Great Sages Equalling Heavens? You should know that the Namo Victorious Fighting Buddha was formed after the Great Sage Equalling Heavens attained enlightenment, right? "
He raised his brows slightly, "Or, between the two of them, one of them is the legendary Six-Eared Macaque?"
"The one who attained enlightenment was Traveling Monk Sun, while the Six-Eared Macaque was formed by his Heart Devil." Yan Zhaoge slowly said, "As for the Great Sage Equalling Heavens, ever since he was suppressed beneath the Five Elements Mountain, he had never managed to escape."
"The Great Sage Equalling Heavens is Sun Wukong, and the Traveling Monk Sun is also Sun Wukong. However, the Traveling Monk Sun isn't the Great Sage Equalling Heavens."
Yan Zhaoge's words were profound, but Gao Han immediately understood.
"When Sanzang helped him escape from the suppression, Sun Wukong split into two?" Gao Han was surprised as well. An interested expression appeared on his face, "No wonder, no wonder …"
He lowered his head and chuckled, "The Great Sage Equalling Heavens was formed from one of the three wondrous stones left behind by Goddess Nuwa to mend the heavens – the Earthly Essence Stone. It could counter the Humanly Essence Stone's miraculous transformations. In the past, when the Demons of the Middle era laid down a formation to stop Buddhism from spreading to the east, they utilized the Humanly Essence Stone's miraculous effects. In the end, the Great Sage Equalling Heavens, who had joined Buddhism, retaliated."
"The Demon Race's emotions were stirred up, but they could only watch as an ant's nest was destroyed. In the end, the tiny crack turned into a huge chasm that couldn't be mended, and they suffered a crushing defeat."
Gao Han shook his head, "The Great Sage Equalling Heavens, who had always been hot-tempered, had completely sided with the central Blessed Lands of Saha. In the past, many felt that this was an unbelievable case. I never expected such an outcome."
He looked at Yan Zhaoge and smiled, "To be honest, I thought that it was one of the fake and real Monkey Kings. No matter if it was real or fake, one of them was still being suppressed there."
"This time, there's another mystery that I've yet to solve. I obtained the answer from the Great Sage Equalling Heavens as well," said Yan Zhaoge with a smile.
