394: Goodbye, old friend

Xu Qing did not linger, but quietly left the ruins and headed for Hidden Mist Island.

A thousand years had truly passed, but Xu Qing's palate had become refined.

Although he was a Dao Lord expert and had long since abstained from worldly food, occasionally savoring human delicacies was still a rare pleasure.

Hidden Mist Island was as bustling as ever.

Around the island, waves gently lapped, and the docks were crowded with people, exceptionally lively.

As soon as Xu Qing stepped onto the dock of Hidden Mist Island, he sensed a familiar aura. His gaze swept across the dock, and suddenly, an unexpected beautiful figure entered his sight.

He saw an ancient warship docked at the largest pier of Hidden Mist Island.

The warship was entirely black, its hull covered with ancient runes, exuding a faint pressure.

At the bow of the ship, a flag fluttered in the wind. On the flag, there was a dark sky and a yellow earth, and an ancient Celestial Gate stood within the dark heaven and earth, as if supporting the entire world.

"The flag of Xuanhuang Hall..."

Xu Qing murmured softly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

He hadn't expected the Tianluo Ruins to attract Xuanhuang Hall, but the outer regions of the Tianluo Ruins were rich in resources, so it wasn't strange for Xuanhuang Hall to come!

Today's Xuanhuang Hall was no longer the Holy Land power that had only developed in Xuanming Lake in the past, but with the help of the Xu Family, it had become a powerful Emperor Sect.

Wang Changfeng and the first batch of high-ranking members of the Wang Family who followed him had all entered the Emperor Realm, and the other second-generation Elders were all Quasi-Emperor Realm existences.

Currently, those in charge were third-generation Disciples of the Wang Family, with the weakest having Saint Monarch Realm cultivation.

In addition, Xuanhuang Hall also had the Xuanhuang Academy under its command, continuously providing them with talent. With these foundations, Xuanhuang Hall unified the six great aristocratic families of Xuanming Lake, becoming one of the powers standing at the Peak of the continent.

Of course, the strength of Xuanhuang Hall was only known to those powers truly standing at the Peak.

The remaining powers, even super powers, simply did not know the true foundation of Xuanhuang Hall.

But the strength of Xuanhuang Hall needed no further explanation. After all, those super aristocratic families with ancient foundations in Xuanming Lake also submitted to Xuanhuang Hall, which showed the prestige of Xuanhuang Hall.

The person from Xuanhuang Hall this time was none other than Wang Yan, who once had a marriage contract with Xu Qing.

Xu Qing's gaze fell on the dock, where he saw Wang Yan in a light purple long dress, her face still beautiful, but with a few more touches of maturity and gentleness.

Beside her stood a refined young man in white, with delicate features and a gentle, jade-like temperament. Their intimate gestures clearly indicated an extraordinary relationship.

And beside them, there was also a pair of adorable golden boy and jade girl, only about three or four years old, yet already possessing King-sealing cultivation, clearly indicating extraordinary talent.

"I never thought Wang Yan would already be married!"

Xu Qing raised an eyebrow, a hint of emotion flashing in his eyes.

He did not go down to disturb them. After all, the two once had a marriage contract. Although Xu Qing did not care, the current occasion was clearly not suitable.

Moreover, seeing Wang Yan find her own happiness, Xu Qing also felt a hint of relief.

At the end of the day, the two were never people from the same world.

His marriage contract with Wang Yan was merely an arrangement by the Elders. From beginning to end, Xu Qing had no feelings for Wang Yan. Even without the System, the gap between them was destined to prevent them from being together.

However, he and Wang Yan did have some fate.

He smiled slightly, raised his hand, and with a wave, two streams of clear light quietly flew out and merged into the bodies of the two children.

This clear light could subtly change their Aptitude and protect their lives three times. If nothing unexpected happened, they would be able to Cultivate to the Transcendent Realm in the future.

"I hope you have a beautiful future."

Xu Qing murmured softly, then turned and left, disappearing into the bustling Hidden Mist Island.

Time flew by like an arrow. Old acquaintances had new lives, and he would continue on his own Dao.

On the dock, Wang Yan seemed to sense something, looking up in the direction Xu Qing had left, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.

She always felt that a familiar gaze had just been watching her, but when she searched carefully, she found nothing.

"What's wrong?"

The young man in white asked softly, his tone gentle.

Wang Yan shook her head and smiled slightly: "Nothing, I just felt a familiar aura, maybe it was a misconception."

The young man in white nodded, gently put his arm around her shoulder, and softly said: "Let's go, the children can't wait."

Wang Yan looked down at the two children beside her, her eyes full of tenderness. She nodded gently, then left the dock with the young man in white, disappearing into the bustling Hidden Mist Island.

A few days later!

Xu Qing left Hidden Mist Island feeling satisfied.

While passing through Xuanming Lake, Xu Qing visited Xuanhuang Hall, met Wang Changfeng and the other, left a batch of supplies, and then also went to see the Wuqian Empire.

Afterward, he traveled all the way north, arriving at the Central Heaven Divine Continent.

When passing through the Yin Yang Divine Dynasty, Xu Qing paused. After all, this Yin Yang Divine Dynasty was no ordinary power, and its foundation was by no means comparable to that of a common Supreme Power.

As Xu Qing paused, suddenly, a violent fluctuation came from between heaven and earth.

Immediately after, an old and deep voice sounded in his ear: "Fellow Daoist."

Xu Qing looked up and saw a figure slowly emerge from the Void Realm in front of him.

It was an old man dressed in a Yin and Yang Xuan robe, with white hair and beard, and a benevolent face, but his eyes sparkled with deep light, as if they could penetrate all illusions.

His body exuded a rich Yin and Yang Dao intent, as if the Yin and Yang power of heaven and earth were all under his control.

"Major Achievement Immortal Grade..."

Xu Qing's gaze narrowed slightly, and he secretly commented in his heart.

This old man's cultivation had reached the Peak of Dao Lord, he was a true Immortal Giant.

And judging from the aura around him, this person walked the Great Dao of Yin and Yang, one of the ten Supreme Daos, and had already reached the Major Achievement Immortal Grade. With such combat power, he could probably even crush an Immortal Overlord.

As expected of the Yin Yang Divine Dynasty, even if the Canglan Dao Domain were brought here, it couldn't compare to this foundation.

The old man stepped through the Void Realm and slowly walked in front of Xu Qing, smiling slightly and cupping his hands: "This old man, Yin-Yang Celestial Venerable, is the Old Ancestor of the Yin-Yang Divine Clan. I sensed Fellow Daoist's aura just now, so I specially came to meet you."

Upon hearing this, Xu Qing's expression was calm. He cupped his hands in return: "I am Xu Qing, passing through this place. If there is any offense, I hope you will forgive me."

Yin-Yang Celestial Venerable laughed heartily, with a hint of cordiality in his tone: "Fellow Daoist is too serious. Although the Lower Realm is vast, Dao Lord experts are rare. I saw that Fellow Daoist's aura was extraordinary, and out of curiosity, I took the liberty to come."

Xu Qing smiled slightly and said nothing more.

He knew that Yin-Yang Celestial Venerable stopping him was nothing more than wanting to inquire about his origin.

After all, Dao Lord experts are extremely rare in the Lower Realm, and are generally known and often in seclusion. Now that a strange Dao Lord suddenly appeared, Yin-Yang Celestial Venerable naturally wanted to investigate his origin clearly.

Yin-Yang Celestial Venerable saw Xu Qing's calm expression and thought even more highly of him.
