After Lin Qingzhu voiced her guess, Ning Ruoxuan and Zhu Xiyan both shuddered and looked up at Ning Wangshu in unison.
Shen Chuxia, Wang Zhiqiang, and Xie Ting, on the other hand, looked rather confused. They didn't really understand what Lin Qingzhu meant by Taihuang Huangzeng Heaven.
Ning Wangshu glanced at Lin Qingzhu and nodded slightly. "It's not impossible. But that doesn't necessarily mean they came from Taihuang Huangzeng Heaven."
"After all..."
Ning Wangshu paused, then continued, "After all, Taihuang Huangzeng Heaven is only one of the Thirty-Three Heavens! The people from the Mysterious Immortal Palace in Taihuang Huangzeng Heaven managed to descend into our world and take Anran away."
"So we can't rule out the possibility that immortals from other parts of the Thirty-Three Heavens can also descend into our world."
"Of course, comparatively speaking, it's still most likely they came from Taihuang Huangzeng Heaven. For one thing, immortals from Taihuang Huangzeng Heaven have already descended into our world before."
"For another, when I asked Xuan Yuan Jingxiu about the Mysterious Immortal Palace, he mentioned that Taihuang Huangzeng Heaven is the closest of the Thirty-Three Heavens to our world."
"Still, it's possible that this Five-clawed Golden Dragon and the people on its back came from another part of the Thirty-Three Heavens..."
Lin Qingzhu nodded in understanding. "True. We can't rule that out."
"Um... Brother Ning, what exactly are this Taihuang Huangzeng Heaven and the Thirty-Three Heavens you were just talking about?"
Wang Zhiqiang couldn't make head or tail of it, and couldn't help asking.
"Yeah, Wangshu, Qingzhu, what is Taihuang Huangzeng Heaven? And what are the Thirty-Three Heavens?" Shen Chuxia was just as curious.
Xie Ting didn't say anything, but she was also looking at Ning Wangshu, waiting for him to explain.
Ning Wangshu looked at them and smiled.
