Gao Qing chuckled foolishly at her elder's teasing.
On the other hand, Gao Xuebo had a helpless expression on his face.
He had a proper personality and was very methodical.
With his cultivation level, it was not difficult for him to regain his youthful appearance. However, he knew that he was already a grandfather, so he allowed his appearance to remain that of an old man.
It was a pity that his father, the Dragon Spring Emperor, apart from maintaining his youthful appearance, did not hold back when joking with his great-granddaughter.
"Back then, the relationship between the World beyond Worlds and our Roving Jade Heavens was not as tense as it is now." Gao Xuebo helplessly explained to his granddaughter, "Our interactions and contacts are quite frequent. As long as both parties are willing, marriage is not prohibited."
Although Gao Qing was rather ignorant in this aspect, she wasn't completely clueless.
With her grandfather's reminder, she gradually understood.
In that era, the union of his great-grandfather and great-grandmother had more or less been a marriage alliance between the World beyond Worlds and the Roving Jade Heavens.
It was just that the Dragon Spring Emperor and the Profound Sovereign were deeply attached to each other. The Dragon Spring Emperor remained in the Roving Jade Heavens after their marriage, even though the relationship between the World beyond Worlds and the Roving Jade Heavens had already become extremely tense.
The Dragon Spring Emperor laughed, "I don't have the ability. If I want to marry your Great Grandmother, I can only stay and pester her."
"Unlike Eldest Senior Brother, who married your great-grandmother's Junior Sister from the Roving Jade Heavens."
Gao Qing's large eyes stared wide open, "Great apprentice-grandaunt married the Exalted Gold Luminary?!"
The Dragon Spring Emperor nodded smilingly, a look of pride on his face.
Gao Qing turned to look at her grandfather. Gao Xuebo calmly said, "That's right."
Long Hanhua also turned to look at Long Xueji, only to see the latter also nodding his head.
Gao Qing was rather dazed as she thought about how the Exalted Gold Luminary had descended from beyond the heavens with a single sword and subdued the entire Roving Jade Heavens, even marrying away the most outstanding descendant of the Roving Jade Heavens.
"Hehe, eldest apprentice-brother married little apprentice-sister …" Gao Qing suddenly laughed, looking at the Dragon Spring Emperor, "Little apprentice-brother married eldest apprentice-sister?"
The Dragon Spring Emperor chuckled, "Precisely so."
Gao Qing was so happy that she couldn't stop clapping. "This can be considered an interesting piece of news."
Seeing his granddaughter's unruly appearance, her grandfather couldn't help but glare at her. But looking at the Dragon Spring Emperor who was also grinning so widely that his eyebrows could not be seen, Gao Xuebo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and could only sigh helplessly.
Long Xueji and Long Hanhua could not help but chuckle.
"By the way, Great Grandfather, where are your Eldest Senior Brother and Great Martial Granduncle now?"
Gao Qing suddenly thought of something as she could not help but look curious, "In the Roving Jade Heavens, there are only some legends about Grand Apprentice-Granduncle. There is no news of them in the World beyond Worlds either. Where have they gone?"
In an instant, the room fell silent.
The smile vanished from the face of the Dragon Spring Emperor. His gaze became deep and abyssal as he raised his head to look at the ceiling, falling into a trance. After a long while, he closed his eyes.
When Gao Qing saw this, she was taken aback.
At the side, her grandfather, Gao Xuebo, said softly, "The two seniors are no longer here."
Gao Qing's heart shook as she looked towards the Dragon Spring Emperor.
The Dragon Spring Emperor opened his eyes, smiling as the heavy atmosphere in the room relaxed once more, "They were already gone two thousand years ago."
"After the Great Calamity, Daoism fell into decline, with many things waiting to be done. If we want to rise again, there will always be many difficulties, many sacrifices."
"I'm sorry, Great Grandfather …" Gao Qing said softly.
The Dragon Spring Emperor smiled, shaking his head, "It's fine."
"It is a pity that the Exalted Gold Luminary and little apprentice-aunt died prematurely given their age and cultivation bases." Gao Xuebo shook his head, sighing, "Otherwise, their future accomplishments would probably be comparable to the Lord of Plentiful Treasure, Cultivated Deity Jade Cauldron and the Purple Tenuity Emperor, reforging the glory of the sword dao."
Hearing his words, Gao Qing and Long Hanhua both felt a sense of loss.
Long Xueji said calmly, "Predecessors plant trees, the fire never extinguishing. There will always be successors."
Looking at his youngest son, the Dragon Spring Emperor smiled, "That's right."
… …
"From here, we should have hope of returning to the other side of the 'wall', returning to the territory governed by the World beyond Worlds."
Yan Zhaoge smiled as he spoke while analysing the chaotic flows of space before them.
Fu Ting nodded as well, "That's right. There is at least an eighty percent chance of success."
After taking care of the Vast Yang Exalt Pei Hua, the two fled far away into space.
It could be felt that other powerful auras had descended in the vicinity of the Lofty Towering World in the Loathing Square Immortal Realm.
Even the slaying of a mid Immortal Bridge Martial Saint Shang Jun would have caused great waves, let alone Pei Hua who was at the peak of the tenth level of the Martial Saint realm.
Also, Long Xueji had slain another Human Exalt of the Immortal Court in the vicinity earlier.
Two Human Exalts having successively perished at the same place within a short period of time, it would be hard not to notice it.
Still, the simultaneous deaths of two Human Exalts in the Loathing Square Immortal Realm had caused a temporary vacuum to appear amongst the peak experts of the nearby Immortal Court.
An Emperor-level expert had been drawn away by Long Xueji. With the Immortal Court still having to contend with Buddhism, it would be difficult for them to dispatch experts over within a short period of time.
Yan Zhaoge and Fu Ting made use of this chance to flee amidst space.
Possessing the Peerless Heavenly Scripture, Yan Zhaoge would not leave any clues behind when he slew someone of the Immortal Court, also preventing their peak experts from instantly descending to reinforce him.
If they were not caught on the spot and there were no witnesses, their opponents would have no more clues left.
Yan Zhaoge raised his hand, drawing numerous runes in mid-air. The runes condensed unceasingly, bright all around as it resembled an ocean of light.
Seeing this, Fu Ting stared at the ocean of light formed of runes for a moment before reaching out and drawing numerous runes in mid-air as well, sending them into the ocean of light to assist Yan Zhaoge.
Watching this scene rather interestedly, Yan Zhaoge could not help but nod in admiration, "Miss Fu is indeed a heaven-defying genius."
Being able to see through the clues so quickly and even assist him in the actual operation was not something that could be achieved just by relying on her family's knowledge alone.
It was indeed not an exaggeration to say that Fu Ting was omnipotent.
Many people's so-called omnipotence was just trying to blow their own trumpets. Omnipotence was actually the same as being unable to do anything at all.
Fu Ting was clearly truly omnipotent as she was proficient in everything.
She said, "Young Master Yan overpraises me. You are the one who shocked Fu Ting, actually being able to open a pathway that connects the Immortal Court of the external dao with the world of our orthodox Daoism of the Three Clear lineages."
As the daughter of the Brocade Emperor, she had long since known of the existence of Buddhism.
She also understood that traversing such a 'wall' could only be accomplished by experts who had attained the Immortal realm.
The rare exception would be the likes of the Western Exalt who cultivated in the Spatial Heavenly Scripture or other similar peak martial arts. Still, those were all Human Exalts, bigwigs of the tenth level of the Martial Saint realm.
Not only was it rare to see someone of Yan Zhaoge's cultivation base who did not rely on external objects, she had never even heard of such a thing before.
"I dare not compare myself to the likes of your father, the Brocade Emperor." Yan Zhaoge smiled, "Your father and the others opened a door on the 'wall' and instantly traversed through it, traversing between the two worlds. This method of mine, on the other hand, is a pathway. If we want to return, we will still have to walk through it for a few days."
"The difference in efficiency is like the difference between the heavens and the earth. Moreover, it would take a lot of time for me to open the pathway now. How would I be like your father and the others who can do it casually?"
Fu Ting shook her head, "That is still extremely rare."
Amidst their conversation, a massive vortex appeared at the centre of the ocean of light before them.
Space distorted at the bottom of the vortex as an indescribably bright radiance was emitted, being even more dazzling than the surrounding ocean of light.
