Sweeping across the heavens, starting with the first emperor of the ancient times.

Warm tears slid down her cheeks.

Two hundred thousand years.

at last……

Feng Xi, standing to the side, stared wide-eyed at the sight.

Then she covered her mouth and laughed happily, her eyes curving into crescent moons.

Aunt and the Heavenly Emperor finally became a couple.

Xiao Zhanhuang and Chu Changge were also stunned, looking at each other in disbelief.

Long Hao flicked his dragon tail, making faces at the Battle Saint Venerable.

The Fighting Saint grinned, a smile brimming with the smugness I knew all too well.

The ancient god nodded slightly, as if to say that it should have been done a long time ago.

The Sword Demon remained expressionless, but the corners of his mouth seemed to be slightly raised.

After a long while, Feng Wu gently pushed Jiang Hao away.

She lowered her head and wiped away her tears with the back of her hand, her movements somewhat flustered.

"I..." she began, her voice still nasal, "I didn't cry."

Jiang Hao smiled, raised his hand, and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Yes, I didn't cry."

She is as lovely as ever.

Feng Wu raised her head; her eyes were still red, but the smile within them was brighter than ever before.

"Two hundred thousand years," she said softly. "I thought..."

"What did you think?"

"I thought you had long forgotten me."

Jiang Hao shook his head and looked at her intently:

"I'll always remember."

"I've remembered you ever since I first saw you, and I'll never forget you."

Feng Wu's tears were about to fall again.

But she smiled, desperately trying to hold it in.

"Alright, alright!" Feng Xi finally couldn't hold back any longer and jumped in. "Auntie, stop crying, or I'll start crying too!"

She ran over, hugged Feng Wu tightly, and winked at Jiang Hao, "Great Emperor, you must treat my aunt well; she's waited for you for two hundred thousand years!"

Jiang Hao smiled and reached out to pat Feng Xi's head.

"it is good."

Feng Wu glared at her niece, but her eyes were full of doting affection.

Long Hao leaned closer and said with a mischievous grin, "Oh dear, shouldn't we step away? This atmosphere isn't quite right for us outsiders."

The Fighting Saint Venerable patted him on the shoulder: "What outsider? We're all good buddies."

He looked at Jiang Hao and grinned, "Old Jiang, you're doing great. After two hundred thousand years, you've finally figured it out. Congratulations!"

Jiang Hao and Feng Wu have feelings for each other, and as friends, they naturally know this.

Jiang Hao smiled but didn't say anything, just looked at Feng Wu.

Feng Wu also looked at him.

Their eyes met, their tenderness flowing freely, and everything was understood without words.

……

Inside the Lingxiao Palace, everyone took their seats. Jiang Hao flicked his sleeves, and a set of antique tea utensils appeared on the jade table.

A clear spring springs forth from the pot, while a Taoist fire warms it beneath the stove. A few tea leaves, symbolizing enlightenment, fall into the pot, and a delicate fragrance immediately fills the air.

"Enlightenment Tea!" Long Hao's eyes lit up. "Old Jiang, I can only enjoy this good stuff by following you."

The Fighting Saint Venerable had already unceremoniously picked up his teacup, taken a deep sniff, and said with a look of utter delight, "Fragrant, so fragrant. After being sealed away for so many years, all I've been craving is this."

Feng Wu took the teacup, took a small sip, and as the Enlightenment Tea entered her stomach, a warm and gentle Daoist energy spread through her body, invigorating her spirit.

"Good tea," she said softly.

The group chatted while drinking tea.

"Old Jiang, isn't your Heavenly Court a bit too exaggerated?" Long Hao spoke first, flicking his dragon tail.

"I just walked here and saw all those palaces and pavilions, all kinds of magnificent buildings! Where did you get so many good things?"

Jiang Hao smiled upon hearing this: "Many of them were given away by players from the restricted area."

"Given to you by the restricted area?" Long Hao's eyes widened. "Would those supreme beings from the restricted area be so easy to talk to?"

"Of course," Jiang Hao said casually, picking up his teacup.

"Building a Heavenly Court is a matter for everyone, including the Supreme Beings of the Forbidden Zones. They are very understanding; I talked to them and they volunteered to contribute."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

The Supreme Ruler of the Penalty Area is reasonable? When did the Supreme Ruler of the Penalty Area become associated with reasonableness?

These people are all ruthless, cold-blooded, and unreasonable brutes.

"Uncle Jiang, when you say they volunteered, you don't mean they volunteered after you beat them up, do you?" Feng Xi looked at Jiang Hao with suspicion and asked.

"Yes, that's definitely what they would say. Otherwise, with those tightwads like those Supreme Beings of the Forbidden Zone, would they really volunteer? Don't even think about it," Long Hao and the others chimed in.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Hao took a sip of tea. "More or less?"

Did you breach the forbidden zone when you were building the Heavenly Court and going to beg for alms? No, but you breached it before that, does that count?

Upon hearing this, Long Hao slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "I knew it! Old Jiang, how many times have you attacked the restricted area to train them to be so obedient?"

Jiang Hao thought for a moment: "It wasn't that many times. It was just that every time someone caused trouble, we would beat them up, and they would behave themselves after a while."

Everyone: "..."

This move is very Jiang Hao-esque.

"Old Jiang, tell us quickly, what other great things have you done over the years? Let us see for ourselves," said the Fighting Saint Venerable with an expectant look.

Little War Emperor also came over, his face full of anticipation: "Yes, Uncle Jiang, tell us about it!"

Feng Xi nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, we all want to know!"

Jiang Hao looked at his group of old friends, smiled, and began to recount his experiences over the past two hundred thousand years.

"After the Heavenly Court was established, Lingbao Tianzun and Yuanshi were resurrected. I joined forces with Lingbao and Yuanshi to open up the ascension passage, connecting to a great world called the Lesser Immortal Realm."

"The Lesser Immortal Realm?" Feng Wu frowned slightly. "What kind of place is that?"

"The other great world outside the Origin Realm is of the same origin as us; both are fragments of the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm," Jiang Hao explained.

"The laws there are more complete, the substances for longevity are more abundant, and it is more suitable for those who have attained enlightenment to continue their cultivation and live longer."

Everyone gasped.

Beyond the Origin Realm, there are other worlds? And rich in longevity substances? Such wonderful places exist?

"Did anyone go?" Long Hao asked.

"Of course," Jiang Hao nodded.

"Emperor Xiao Fan of Qiankun, Emperor Qi Xuan of Qilin, the Demon Emperor, Emperor Tianma, Emperor Qianyuan, Dragon Ancient Heavenly Venerable, Emperor Creation... all went."

Everyone was a little confused upon hearing this.

They looked at each other, their faces blank.

The Fighting Saint scratched his head, making his golden hair all messed up:

"Emperor Qiankun Xiao Fan? Emperor Qilin Qi Xuan? Demon Emperor? Heavenly Horse Saint Emperor? Emperor Qian Yuan? Emperor Creation?... "

He read it all out in one breath, and was even more confused when he finished.

"Who are these people?"

Long Hao was also stunned: "Apart from the Ancient Dragon Venerable, who is the ancestor of my Dragon Clan's mythological era, I have never heard of the others. But judging from these titles, they are all figures who have attained enlightenment in this era."

"Nonsense." The Battle Saint rolled his eyes. "Can't someone called 'Great Emperor' be a Dao-proving figure?"

A thoughtful look flashed in Luo Hongchen's eyes:

"In other words, after we sealed ourselves off, so many great emperors emerged. I never expected that when we awoke again, the world had changed so much, and there were already so many new enlightened beings."

Everyone fell silent.

In these two hundred thousand years, the number of people who have attained enlightenment is far greater than they imagined.

Long Hao suddenly remembered something and wagged his tail: "That's right, which means that my Dragon Clan's ancestor, Long Gu Tianzun, has also ascended to the Lesser Immortal Realm."

He chuckled, a smug look on his face: "My dragon clan ancestor is truly amazing. He's managed to live to this day and even ascend to immortality."

The Battle Saint Venerable glanced at him sideways: "It's not like you're the one ascending, why are you so agitated?"

"That's my ancestor!" Long Hao said confidently. "He's the ancestor of my dragon clan, so he represents me. Of course I'm proud of him."
