Kunlun Mountain, Jade Void Palace.
Before the lotus pool shrouded in dim chaos, Gu Xiaosang said with a half-smile, "My Innate Spiritual Light was nurtured within your true spirit and born through your gestation. I'm afraid I'll have to call you... Father!"
Meng Qi's mouth slowly fell open, and he lost the composed ease of a legendary great power.
"All right, enough joking." Seeing that she had gone far enough, Gu Xiaosang stopped teasing him. "Husband, tell me what happened during the years I was dead. Only by understanding the general state of the world can we make plans in advance and avoid being caught off guard by the Golden Emperor."
Meng Qi smiled confidently. "Don't worry. Your husband has already invited powerful reinforcements. The Golden Emperor definitely won't act personally."
Gu Xiaosang exclaimed, "Could it be that the Heavenly Venerate of Primordial Beginning has returned?"
Meng Qi smiled. "Of course not. It's Senior Brother Shen."
"What? Him? He became an Other Shore?" Gu Xiaosang rarely lost her composure. It had only been a little over ten years since her death. Someone like her husband, who had attained legend through self-verification, was already incredibly fast; attaining the Other Shore in such a short time was simply impossible.
Meng Qi savored Gu Xiaosang's discomposure and said with a smile, "Not the Other Shore. He's at the peak of the Creation Realm."
"Even the peak of the Creation Realm..." Gu Xiaosang still found it difficult to accept.
"Senior Brother Shen seems to be the reincarnation of the ancient Saint Emperor Qi," Meng Qi added.
"That explains it." Gu Xiaosang nodded slightly. "A peak Creation Realm expert wielding the Human Sovereign Sword is enough to make even the Old Mother wary."
"Haha, you're wrong again." Meng Qi laughed loudly.
"Where am I wrong?"
