(PS: This is the second watch on the 25th.)
The Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor was also known as the Jade Clear True King. His full title was the Exalted Divine Sky Jade Clear True King Longevity Emperor Unifying the Heavenly Origin Sage Heavenly Lord.
He was one of the Four Imperials of Daoism alongside the Purple Tenuity Polaris Emperor and the Earth Queen. He was one of the peak figures of Daoism.
He was not the Old Longevity God or the Southern Extremity Old Man. Instead, he was the Lord of Divine Thunder who controlled the weather of the four seasons and could summon the wind and rain, controlling ghosts and gods of thunder and lightning.
Therefore, he was also known as the Lord of Thunderbolt Assistance Heavenly Lord.
The Longevity Scripture of the eastern Vast Heaven Territory's Remote Cloud Mountain's Clear Light Locale and the northeastern Sky Heaven Territory's Clear Sky Mountain's Grave Thunder Palace's Divine Sky True Art were both of the direct lineage of the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor.
Therefore, it was said in the World beyond Worlds that the lineages of the Northeastern Exalt and the Eastern Exalt were of the same lineage.
It was just that their views differed on many issues as their relationship was not usually harmonious.
What Yan Zhaoge cared about was that it was rumoured that the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor was also proficient in the Life Creation Heavenly Scripture of the Ten Primordial Heavenly Scriptures.
Connecting this with how the Northeastern Exalt Liu Zhenggu was so familiar with his mother and how the Eastern Exalt did not seem unfamiliar with her, Yan Zhaoge could not help but guess.
Meanwhile, Liu Zhenggu very straightforwardly confirmed Yan Zhaoge's guess.
Speaking of Xue Chuqing's master, Liu Zhenggu's expression turned rather solemn, "Your mother's Great Grand Master was one of the Kunlun Nine Luminaries, the Exalted Wood Luminary."
Yan Zhaoge muttered to himself, "Is that so …"
The whereabouts of the Exalted Wood Luminary had always been a mystery. While it was said that he had perished, it had never been verified.
Rumours of this major figure were rather rare in the World beyond Worlds. This was the first time Yan Zhaoge had heard someone mention him of his own accord.
It was just that he had never thought that his mother was actually the descendant of this major figure.
Liu Zhenggu continued, "Many years ago, there were actually not Five Emperors in the World beyond Worlds. It was just that few people knew of one of them. He was the disciple of the Exalted Wood Luminary and your mother's Grand Master."
After hearing this, Yan Zhaoge secretly pulled back the corners of his mouth, "This sounds like an existence similar to a dark history ah …"
The fact that few people knew about Venerable Sovereigns actually meant one thing.
The other top figures, namely the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, did not approve of his existence. At least, most of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors did not approve of his existence.
Connecting this to Xue Chuqing's current situation, it was very likely that they were of the same lineage, or even that they were in a predicament because of the same reason.
Now that he thought about it, it was not without reason that Liu Zhenggu had been so secretive about the reason why Xue Chuqing was being pursued.
At this point, Yan Zhaoge wanted to verify an earlier guess, "Senior, was my mother's Grand Master on very good terms with the Dim Radiant Emperor that year?"
After glancing at Yan Zhaoge rather surprisedly, Liu Zhenggu slowly nodded, "That's right."
Yan Zhaoge's gaze was rather deep and distant.
He suddenly thought of the mysterious death of the Dim Radiant Emperor Yin Tianxia and the decline of the Dim Radiant Sect that year. Could it be related to his mother's lineage?
This was because Yin Tianxia had become too deeply involved with the Dim Radiant Sect, crossing certain boundaries …
Back then, Yan Zhaoge had thought that the Dim Radiant Sect would be conquering extradimensional space in a place like the Nine Underworlds.
Still, after learning of the existence of the 'wall' and knowing that Buddhism still existed, Yan Zhaoge could not help but consider that he might have oversimplified things back then.
Still, if it was a problem with Buddhism, what was the Northeastern Exalt Liu Zhenggu worried about?
While the World beyond Worlds was not like the Roving Jade Heavens where everyone knew about the existence of Buddhism, Liu Zhenggu definitely knew about it.
Yan Zhaoge probed, "May I ask if this is related to Buddhism, Northeastern Exalt?"
Liu Zhenggu glanced deeply at Yan Zhaoge, chuckling, "You really know quite a lot. Still, this shouldn't have been told to you by that girl, right?"
Yan Zhaoge answered candidly, "When I left the World beyond Worlds earlier and travelled extradimensional space, I inadvertently flipped over that 'wall', arriving in a world of Buddhism known as the Obscured Way World."
Liu Zhenggu nodded before shaking his head, "You guessed wrong. It has nothing to do with those thieving baldies."
Looking at Yan Zhaoge, he said, "Do not try to get information out of this old man. This is for your own good."
The purple-crowned old man's expression did not look like he was joking at all.
Yan Zhaoge narrowed his eyes, saying solemnly, "I will remember it."
Liu Zhenggu nodded approvingly, "This old man knows that you have many doubts. Still, as I said earlier, if you are able to meet your mother one day, you can ask her yourself. If she feels that she can tell you, you will naturally know."
Yan Zhaoge asked, "Senior, how are my mother's Grand Master and Master or the other seniors of her lineage now?"
Liu Zhenggu shook his head, "They have a single lineage. Your mother's Master has already perished."
"As for her Grand Master, he has not appeared in this world for many years. This old man is also unable to contact him. He might already be dead, or he might be in some heavens and earth outside of the World beyond Worlds."
Anyway, he was definitely not in the World beyond Worlds. Otherwise, Xue Chuqing would not have to hide all over the place like this.
He glanced at Yan Zhaoge before continuing, "Those whose cultivation bases surpass the Martial Saint realm and above can freely traverse and remain in the lower worlds, ignoring the rejection of the power of dimensions."
Yan Zhaoge nodded slightly, "So that's how it is."
Liu Zhenggu asked, "From the looks of it, besides killing some Clear Light Locale disciples, how many have you captured as well? How are you going to deal with them? "
Yan Zhaoge smiled, "Even if I had not made a move at the start, not killing a single one of them, due to my mother, everyone would still be enemies rather than friends."
"Now that I've killed a few of them, there's no need to leave the rest alive. It doesn't matter whether I kill them or send them off with good food and drinks. Since that's the case, I'll naturally give them a quick death."
Yan Zhaoge spread his palms apart, "In capturing them, I originally wanted to ask them some things. Still, you have already told me all that I want to know. If you do not tell me, it is impossible for them to know. There is also no point in keeping them alive."
Liu Zhenggu chuckled strangely, "Good fella, no wonder you were able to cause such a huge disturbance."
He asked, "Where do you intend to go next? Back to the eastern Yang Heaven Territory? "
Yan Zhaoge answered, "That is indeed my intention."
Liu Zhenggu pondered for a moment before saying, "Forget it. This old man will send you on a trip. Otherwise, you will have to pass through the entire eastern Vast Heaven Territory."
"No one knows about the situation here now. Still, as soon as it is leaked, Clear Light Locale will naturally not remain indifferent. Also, the eastern Vast Heaven Territory is their territory at the end of the day. The relationship between you and that lass Xue Chuqing should be kept a secret for as long as possible."
Saying thus, Liu Zhenggu waved a hand, bringing Yan Zhaoge and the others along in flying into the skies.
While the martial arts they cultivated in were different, they all originated from the lineage of the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor that year as many things were similar.
This lineage of martial arts contained both life force and killing intent, the qi of lifeforce and violent thunderbolts.
Taking in everything was the right way.
Liu Zhenggu and the martial practitioners of Grave Thunder Palace of Green Sky Mountain were mostly inclined towards being tough and ferocious as this actually went against the normal principles of their lineage.
It was easier to encounter bottlenecks in the advancement of one's cultivation base, making it harder for one to break through.
Still, it was precisely because of this that Liu Zhenggu's personal strength was exceptionally powerful.
With him sending them off, even if they encountered the Eastern Exalt in the eastern Vast Heaven Territory, Yan Zhaoge would not have to worry about him unless Liu Zhenggu went to trample on Remote Cloud Mountain. (To be continued.)
