The Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor stood atop the Nine Heavens Blue Bird's head, her gaze sweeping over the sea of clouds. Gu An's heart went taut, ready at any moment to teleport back.
A single teleportation cost ten billion years of lifespan. A round trip was twenty billion years. Naturally, Gu An was unwilling to go back lightly.
The Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor did not discover the Longevity Barrier, and neither did the Nine Heavens Blue Bird.
After a while, a slightly childish female voice rang out:
"Your Majesty, are you truly not going to the Myriad Immortals Assembly?"
Gu An could sense that this voice came from the Nine Heavens Blue Bird, even though the Nine Heavens Blue Bird had not opened its beak.
The Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor looked into the distance, her face cold and aloof, and answered, "Boring. I've been several times, and there's no great difference. It's all hypocritical friendships, and besides, I don't need the opportunities of the Myriad Immortals Assembly."
"Your Majesty, although the Nine Heavens of the Heavenly Pole is uniquely blessed by heaven, if you could discuss the Dao with other mighty immortal cultivators, it would help your cultivation even more."
"If you want to go, you may go in my place."
"If you're not going, what would I go for? Forget it. If we're not going, then we're not going. Oh, right, Your Majesty, what do you think caused this phenomenon?"
The Nine Heavens Blue Bird changed the subject. As it spoke, it looked around at the boundless sea of clouds.
Expressionless, the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor said, "The Nine Heavens of the Heavenly Pole is located above the Great Thousand World. This place is where the Great Dao converges. The anomaly here may have originated from the lower realm.
