"Little Friend Yan, how have you been?" Jiang Shen looked at Yan Zhaoge and said with a calm tone, "I'll call you Little Friend again. I believe this will be the last time we meet. Please don't mind."
Yan Zhaoge looked at him and asked, "How are the others who stayed behind in the World beyond Worlds?"
"Only I've converted to the Immortal Court. The others are all fine, and they've been settled down." Jiang Shen smiled warmly, "If the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord can get rid of you, the Three Clear lineage will continue in the World beyond Worlds."
After the Three Clear Grand Masters transcended, no one could guarantee that they would return to this world.
Moreover, the Elder Lord was still alive. Although the Elder Lord's thoughts were unstable and rarely asked about external matters, he still had to pay attention to others.
As such, no one would completely sever Daoism's legacy. At most, they would continue to weaken it.
Compared to the Sky beyond Skies, which had always been at odds with the heretics, the World beyond Worlds was much easier for the Immortal Court to control and accept.
In the past, the Immortal Court annexed the World beyond Worlds. Other than taking revenge on Daoism, they also wanted to stabilize their faith and prevent the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord's prestige from being shaken by the Golden Body of the Great Sage.
Compared to actual benefits, the symbolic meaning was much greater.
However, there was also an exception – the Grand Virtual Immortal Realm Jiang Shen.
After enlightening Jiang Shen, who was already a Virtual Immortal, the Immortal Court had a high chance of gaining another Grand Heavenly Immortal within a short period of time.
This was someone that the Immortal Court urgently needed.
"Other than that, most of the prodigies from the World beyond Worlds were taken away by the Immortal Court." Jiang Shen revealed a regretful expression.
"There's also a large number of new people and resources?" asked Yan Zhaoge.
Jiang Shen nodded and sighed, "That's right."
"It's not surprising that we're the meat on the chopping block," said Yan Zhaoge.
Jiang Shen nodded and then shook his head, "Little Friend Yan, you guys obtained the Immortal Extermination Formation and won the Nine Underworlds Layout. It's the Three Clear lineage's fortune."
"But what if you guys failed?"
The old man glanced deeply at Yan Zhaoge, "Whether it is struggling at death's door or living under someone else's roof, the legacy left behind by the direct lineage of the Three Clear Lineages will ultimately have to endure the humiliation and bear the burden. Even if it is not the World beyond Worlds, it will still be someone else.
He looked at the crumbling Celestial Court and the ruins of the Celestial Palace. "However, you have succeeded. It's great. It's good that I can see this scene in my lifetime. It's not in vain."
The flourishing Wish Power Treasure Light in his body started to waver uneasily.
But Jiang Shen's expression was calm.
What was shaken was his incense offerings to the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, not himself.
"Those who walk different paths cannot make plans together." Yan Zhaoge said mildly, "I believe in your intentions to protect our orthodox Daoism. However, our ideals differ, and I can't agree with many of your decisions."
"But now that things have come to this, there's no need to say anything else. Daoist Brother Jiang, what do you plan to do next?"
Once one entered the outer path, it would be difficult to turn back.
Yan Zhaoge had the intention to solve the problem of Meng Wan, Fu Ting, He Xixing, and the others because they hadn't been enlightened by the external daos.
As for those who had already entered the external daos, there was no other way.
However, before this, as long as the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord was still around, killing Wang Guan, Lu Yue, Jiang Shen, and the others would only require a single thought.
The old man looked at the crumbling Celestial Court and revealed a smile, "My wish is fulfilled, my wish is fulfilled …"
Jiang Shen closed his eyes. The unstable Wish Power Treasure Light within his body instantly calmed down and then dimmed.
In the next instant, it suddenly erupted, blazing and dazzling.
The brilliant Wish Power Treasure Light transformed into a rainbow and flew into the sky. Then, it instantly disappeared, resembling the final afterglow of the Celestial Court's sunset.
Yan Zhaoge calmly looked at Jiang Shen's rainbow as it faded.
At the same time, his figure appeared at the end of Jiang Shen's rainbow.
There, space was distorted, and another universe was hidden within.
The world within circulated on its own. No Wish Power Treasure Light could be seen within, as if it was the Immortal Court's paradise.
It was the World beyond Worlds of the past.
With Yan Zhaoge's cultivation, he could break through the barriers of space and pass through them.
The mountains and rivers of the World beyond Worlds were displayed before his eyes once again.
Although he had personally split a portion of it in the past, the remaining portion still looked familiar.
After more than a thousand years had passed, things had already changed. However, Yan Zhaoge still saw some familiar faces.
He saw the Encompassing Emperor Li Jun who had already become a Tranquil Profound Immortal, the Heaven Emperor Heavenly Emperor, and the Original World beyond Worlds' Northwestern Exalt Lian Zulin who had already pushed open the Immortal Door …
The people of the World beyond Worlds could only see a clear qi drifting within the skies.
The existences of Grand Heavenly Immortals were unfathomable, unfathomable, and unfathomable.
Yan Zhaoge felt the changes brought about by the vicissitudes of life the most at this moment. Even he, who liked to show his divinity in front of others, had no intention of manifesting himself.
The clear qi swept the entire World beyond Worlds away from this place.
Other than Li Jun, the Heaven Emperor, Lian Zulin, and a few others, most martial art practitioners might not even know that they had once fallen under the control of the Immortal Court, nor did they know that the Immortal Court had perished.
The commoners of the mortal world were even more so.
While Li Jun and the others found it hard to look at Yan Zhaoge, they naturally recognized that the one who had brought them away from the Immortal Court wasn't a Heavenly Lord of the Immortal Court whose entire body was filled with the power of faith. Instead, it was a Grand Heavenly Immortal of the orthodox lineage of Daoism.
The situation was still unclear. However, the current scene clearly implied that the situation had changed.
Apart from the worries brought about by the unknown, everyone's emotions fluctuated. Amidst their excitement and joy, they also felt complicated.
Profound syllables reverberated within the World beyond Worlds, their meaning incomprehensible.
However, Li Jun and the others could vaguely understand the meaning within.
It wasn't that they understood it. Instead, it seemed to be a thought that arose from the depths of their hearts.
"Today, our orthodox Daoism has restored order and destroyed the Immortal Court. Fellow daoists who were stranded outside shall return home today."
Everyone in the World beyond Worlds widened their eyes.
They looked at each other, their lips trembling. However, no one made a sound, and they all fell into silence.
Their previous guesses had been verified. Their hopes had finally come true. Everyone was at a loss.
Then, they were overjoyed.
Li Jun and the others exited the World beyond Worlds. They were surrounded by the clear qi, as if they were in a paradise.
Looking back, they saw that within the vast cosmos, the millions of worlds that belonged to the Immortal Court were scattered all over the place.
The majestic and majestic Heavenly Palace in the past had collapsed, leaving behind only a few wreckages. Moreover, it was still disintegrating further, turning into ashes.
Above the ruins of the Immortal Court, the deathly qi and resentment surged into the sky, condensing into a tangible form.
Even Li Jun, who had already ascended to the Tranquil Profound Immortal Realm, felt suffocated when facing such deathly qi and resentment from afar.
If he were to be within it, his mind would probably collapse.
That was the death of hundreds of Heavenly Immortals, Virtual Immortals, thousands of Profound Immortals, and True Immortals of the heretic dao.
Not only had the Immortal Court's Heavenly Palace collapsed, but the group of heretic Immortals had also perished.
Everyone in the World beyond Worlds stared at the shocking scene in front of them blankly.
When they regained their senses, Li Jun and the others bowed towards the sky and didn't get up for a long time.
