The back view which was heading far away turned to another figure in his eyes.
That pride but calm figure with a long sword hanging on his waist.
That was the Exalted Gold Luminary, Yan Xingtang.
At that time, Astro Sovereign had also witnessed Yan Xingtang leave. Little did he know that they would part forever.
Then another person appeared in his mind because of the memory with Yan Xingtang.
The very person that made him feel more grieved.
Astro Sovereign didn't have so many friends in his life. And they had all died one after another. Now he was totally alone.
Yan Xingtang's death was miserable to him. But his other friend, the person in his mind right now, was actually killed by him.
Chen Xuanzong, the Exalted Water Luminary, closed his eyes. Everything that had happened before was still vivid in his mind.
"Xuanzong! Come with me. The appearance of the Nine Underworlds was the fate of this world. Let all those ignorant cultivators and the dying Three Purities Daoism fall into the Nine Underworlds." The middle-aged man laughed, "The Buddha won't save all lives, neither the Daoism. Only the demon could save all of them. You'll only see who you really are after entering the Nine Underworlds. You'll know what freedom is!"
He pointed his forehead where there was an ice blue demon pattern, with a twisted smile, "My position should have been yours!"
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 1183: The Cause Before, The Effect Today
“Come with me, Xuanzong! When we come back from the Nine Underworlds, we can start everything from World beyond Worlds!”
“No, never.”
Rays of lights flickered in the s.p.a.ce. In no time, the boundless ground was frozen and the dark universe changed to everlasting frozen earth.
At last, one side of the rays was extinguished forever.
Chen Xuanzong used his palm as a sabre, chopping toward his front.
Under the palm of Chen Xuanzong, there were countless crystal ice dusts flying in the s.p.a.ce.
That was an ice sculpture in front of him, the upper part of which was smashed by him while the lower part also vanished.

With no expression on his face, Chen Xuanzong watched what was happening in front of him silently.
It had only been a short time since Gui Shui Demon had been reborn and transformed into Ice Demon.
Gui Shui Demon had managed to find a person who was in the stage of Martial Saint realm as his incarnation and pushed open the immortal door right after he had been reborn. But his rapidly enhanced power was still insufficient due to the limit of time.
However, Chen Xuanzong had no feelings of joy at this moment.
Because he had just killed his best friend.
After Yan Xingtang, the Exalted Gold Luminary, had died, that man was his only friend.
Showing no happiness nor sorrow, Chen Xuanzong just stood still in the center of the universe like a statue.
After a long while, with a dim light flas.h.i.+ng in his eyes, he turned his head to look at a place far away from him. Then he headed off in that direction.
There was an ice mountain floating in a s.p.a.ce where the fight he had just had could not reach.
A magnificent palace which was built by ice and snow was seated on the ice mountain. It was a huge palace which contained the pavilions, terraces and open halls.
Having entered in that s.p.a.ce, Chen Xuanzong began to walk through the palace.
Suddenly, some tiny strange beasts flew out. A little girl was running after the beasts, chasing and playing with them.
When she saw Chen Xuanzong, she got in a trance for a moment. After that, she remembered that her parents had told her to be polite, so she bowed to him, pretending to be mature, and said, “Uncle Chen, h.e.l.lo.”
“...At ease.” Chen Xuanzong moved his lips and tried to say something. But finally, the only thing that came out of his mouth were those two words.
With her head tilted, the little girl looked at Chen Xuanzong with curiosity.
Suddenly, something popped into Chen Xuanzong’s mind. With a serious look on his face, he grabbed one of her hands and rolled up her sleeves.
There was a rune flas.h.i.+ng faintly on the arm of the little girl.
There was nothing special about the rune. However, its flas.h.i.+ng rate was like the human breath, which was long and even.
Just like a man in his sleep.
“That’s crazy, you are crazy. How can you do this to your daughter...” Chen Xuanzong murmured that, feeling blood rus.h.i.+ng toward his brain.
The little girl didn’t know why he was like that, then she asked, “Uncle Chen, where is my daddy?”
“...” After being in silence for a moment, Chen Xuanzong said in a slight voice, “You father has gone to a place that is very far from here. He can’t come here to see you in a short period.”
“Daddy has told me that he would take me with him.” The little girl muttered that.
She remembered that her father had mentioned that he would go to a place.
However, she didn’t know that the place her father had talked about and the place in Chen Xuanzong’s words were obviously not the same thing.
The little girl wouldn’t understand that while Chen Xuanzong could not explain to her.
“Uncle Chen, can you bring me to my dad?” The little girl looked at the white-haired young man in front of her hopefully.
Chen Xuanzong only stared at the rune on the little girl’s arm and remained silent.
At last, he still didn’t send the little girl to see her father.
Instead, he brought her to the Jade Sky Peak in the World beyond Worlds.
Half a year later, Earthly Sovereign and Concealed Sovereign who came back from the outer s.p.a.ce learned what had happened. They were both speechless about that.
In the Sweeping Snow Pavilion of the Cold Wave Locale on the Jade Sky Peak, Jiang Shen, the Earthly Sovereign, stood by the window while looking at the little girl who was squatting in a daze
by the pond. After a good while, he said, “You not only keep her in the World beyond Worlds, you also want to teach her martial art?”
Chen Xuanzong, the Astro Sovereign, said slowly, “Actually, I only want her to be a normal person and live her life in secure. But that is clearly just my dream.”
“She needs to reach a high level of cultivation to let the demon imprinted on her be pulled out.”
Jiang Shen said that while turning his head to look at Chen Xuanzong, who just looked back at Jiang, calm and composed.
If judged by appearance, Jiang Shen was more like an instructor in private school who was around fifty or sixty years old. He didn’t look aged and always had a serious look on his face and gentle expression in his eyes.
In fact, he had always devoted to reviving Daoism and educating people. He had managed to cultivate lots of young talents of Daoism by instructing them earnestly and answering nearly all their questions.
Because he was the oldest one in the new Nine Luminaries of Kunlun and had survived the Great Calamity, even some of the people in the new Nine Luminaries of Kunlun had been instructed by him before, not to mention tons of the Daoist of the new generation after the Great Calamity.
“That’s too dangerous.” Jiang Shen said slowly, “It’s Gui Shui Demon you are talking about.”
Chen Xuanzong shook his head and said, “I’ll take all the responsibilities. If things go too far... I’ll solve the problem by myself like this time.”
In the shadow, a man who seemed invisible said, “You can have a try. Just consider it as gathering experiences
for fighting the big demon.”
There were three people in the Sweeping Snow Pavilion right now. However, the third person always managed to conceal his existence.
However, Jiang Shen and Chen Xuanzong still needed to take his words into consideration since he had already spoken.
Therefore, that innocent little girl was able to stay in the World beyond Worlds from then on.
However, there was another dispute about the suitable person for her instructor.
Finally, she still stayed in the Jade Sky Peak.
“The cause before, the effect today...”
Astro Sovereign returned to reality from his memories. The view in front of his eyes changed from the Sweeping Snow Pavilion into the snowy world.
Seeing the view of Yan Zhaoge’s back disappearing from the ice ocean, Astro Sovereign who was in the ice pillar shook his head while saying, “Xingtang, you are so lucky to have such a talented descendant.”
“It’s just I don’t know where his talent would lead him to...”
“If you and your wife haven’t died so soon, would everything in this world be different?”
A heavy long sigh came out from the ice pillar.
Yan Zhaoge came out from the bottom of the ice mountain and returned to the boundless glacier.
Then he saw a gorgeous woman standing in the ice and snow with her hands crossed behind her back while still keeping her eyes closed.
“Your majesty.” Yan Zhaoge approached her from behind.
Female Emperor turned around, still closing her eyes, and said, “You have met my master?”
“Yes, as you have said, Astro Sovereign was not able to leave this place.” Yan Zhaoge sighed.
Female Emperor nodded and said, “In that case, you should leave now. Although you possess a high level of cultivation, the cold air here will still erode your spirit.”
“Don’t go back to the World beyond Worlds directly. Other people might find the location of this place from the traces you leave.” Female Emperor continued, “If you take a detour at the Nine Underworlds, those demons won’t notice here. I believe that you are capable of walking on the outer area of the Nine Underworlds. Just be careful.”
“Fine. I should go now.” Yan Zhaoge said that with his hands cupped. Then he left right away without lingering there.
Female Emperor stood on the glacier quietly.
She didn’t freeze herself at this moment.
However, she looked like an ice sculpture more than ever.
Yan Zhaoge turned his head and took a look at Female Emperor. Then lots of thoughts flashed in his mind.
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 1184: Female Emperor's Pas
Female Emperor was standing still on the glacier like a sculpture right now.
Her eyes were still closed tightly and there was no expression on her face.
However, the bottom of her dress which was flying showed her fretful mood.
Past memories deep down her heart kept rus.h.i.+ng back to her.
She couldn't forget the sunny afternoon on the Jade Sky Peak that day. That very year, a seemingly ordinary thing had changed her life and her destiny from then on.
For her, it was the beginning of everything.
At that time, her master had brought back a little girl around four or five years old all of a sudden.
That little girl looked dainty and smart. Jie Mingkong had been fond of this little girl at the first glance.
And Jie Mingkong still remembered all the words they had spoken on that day.
"Master, who is this child? Is she your new disciple?" that was how she asked her master.
The reaction of her master was a bit strange. After a moment of silence, he answered, "She's the daughter of my friend. But I'll take her as my disciple from today. We'll all live together."
"She's still young, Mingkong, you need to take good care of her."
At that time, Jie Mingkong had been much more outgoing than now. Then she said with a smile, "Of course. Master, you can count on me."
Chen Xuanzong nodded lightly while telling Jie Mingkong that this little girl's parents were both dead by sound transmission secretly.
Jie Mingkong took pity on this little girl after hearing that. Then she bent over and held the little girl in her arms, saying, "This place is your home now. I'm your Senior apprentice-sister. Everything you need, just come to me."
The little girl was still in a muddled situation and couldn't understand what Jie Mingkong meant.
However, she did feel the kindness from Jie Mingkong.
The little girl also liked this young lady in white who was super pretty. So she didn't reject being held up by Jie Mingkong and had no fear of this stranger. Instead, she laughed happily.
Seeing this little girl's reaction, Jie Mingkong also got pleased and returned a nice smile.
The white-haired man who stood beside them watched this scene with a gentle expression in his eyes. However, there was another kind of emotion hiding in the deep of his eyes.
That emotion was something beyond Jie Mingkong.
She only had a feeling that she and the little girl in front of her would get along well in the future.
And Jie Mingkong was happy to have the little girl as her junior apprentice-sister.
"What's your name?" Jie Mingkong asked the little girl in her arms smilingly.
"Lili..." the little girl answered lovely, "My name is Lili."
"Chu Lili." Chen Xuanzong who had been staring at them quietly suddenly said that.
Hearing his words, Jie Mingkong was in a daze for a second. Then she asked, "Chu... Lili? Master, I remember you have an old friend whose last name is Chu. That's senior Chu, Chu Heng. Is Lili his daughter?"
Chen Xuanzong nodded and stopped talking.
Jie Mingkong didn't pay too much attention to her master's reply at that time.
And she only learned what that name meant until later.
Because Jie Mingkong found that Chu Lili was not like her.
She could walk freely in the World beyond Worlds. Everyone knew she was the personal disciple of Astro Sovereign.
However, Chu Lili could only live in the Jade Sky Peak. Even after she had formally acknowledged Chen Xuanzong as her master, Chu Lili was still not allowed to live in the Cold Wave Locale with Xie Mingkong. Instead, she lived in the back mountain by herself.
Chen Xuanzong, Earthly Sovereign and Concealed Sovereign were the ones who acknowledged her being there from the beginning. Except for them, nearly none of the top experts in the World beyond Worlds knew about Chu Lili's existence.
And Jie Mingkong, Yue Zhenbei and w.a.n.g Zhengcheng were the only exceptions.
Luckily, Chu Lili was an optimistic girl. Although she often felt lonely, she still managed to grow up in peace.
Also, she was very close to Jie Mingkong, Yue Zhenbei and other few people whom she always met in daily life.
Because she had been too young when she had become the disciple of Chen Xuanzong, Jie Mingkong had cared for her since her childhood. So Jie Mingkong was more like a sister or a mother to Chu Lili.
As time went by, Jie Mingkong finally learned what had happened to Chu Heng.
She also realized the difference Chu Lili had from ordinary people.
However, since they were both disciples of Chen Xuanzong and could see each other every day, Jie Mingkong always got softhearted by Chu Lili's happy smile.
She really hoped that her master's attempt could succeed.
However, Jie Mingkong also detected other signs from Chu Lili as this little girl grew up day by day.
Now Chu Lili was a young girl who was longing for love now. And the man she had crush on was her master...
She had the closest relations.h.i.+p with Jie Mingkong and had never hidden anything from her Senior apprentice-sister.
In fact, she had already made her feelings so obvious. So Jie Mingkong was not the only one who knew about that.
This extremely optimist
ic young girl had no intention to hide her feelings. She especially hoped that her master could know how she felt.
"Senior apprentice-sister, do you think our master still regard me as a little child?" Chu Lili pouted and told Jie Mingkong her trouble depressingly. However, Jie Mingkong didn't know how to respond.
Because she wanted Chu Lili to give up her affection to their master.
But she didn't have the right to tell Chu Lili to give up.
Not only because Chu Lili trusted her, it was also because Jie Mingkong had also fallen in love with their master...Unlike Chu Lili, she just kept her feelings to herself.
Nevertheless, every time Jie Mingkong saw her Junior apprentice-sister expressing love to their master, she had a fretful feeling.
She had a strong impulsion to do the same thing as Chu Lili.
Even if she could only do it for once.
However, every time she was about to confess to her master, all of her courage just disappeared like snow smelting under the sun when she looked into Chen Xuanzong's eyes. She didn't know what happened to that decisive herself in the ordinary times.

Then one day when it was only a few days from Chu Lili's birthday, Chen Xuanzong suddenly called Jie Mingkong over.
When she arrived, she saw a cute, short legged little beast which was like a white fox.
"A Feifei? A baby Feifei..." Jie Mingkong recognized its species right away. Then Chen Xuanzong said, "This is the birthday gift for Lili this year. I know you always accompany her, but you are getting busy lately. I'm afraid she will get bored living in the back mountain alone. I hope this Feifei could divert her from boredom."
"Remember to give this Feifei to her on her birthday. She can also grow up by learning how to take care of this little creature."
With her eyes flickering, Jie Mingkong tried to say something. However, none of the words in her heart came out of her mouth.
