"Since it's settled, let's take a walk through the mortal world together." Xu Xing's voice was calm. "This realm is right at the turning point between the great ages of immortals and gods. The wait needn't be dull."
"Mm."
"Then we shall do as brother says."
Bie Xuening and Yuanjun both voiced their agreement, but Hong Sovereign gave a slight shake of his head. "I won't be traveling with you. I bestowed an opportunity upon a junior of this realm before; this is as good a time as any to see how he is doing."
To them, the ends of the earth and a space before their feet were no different.
Even if brother intended to sever the connection bestowed by the Great Profound Realm, they did not need to remain together at every moment.
He might as well see how far that junior who had received his method could go. It would also help pass the time.
Most importantly, he did not want to be with them!
"Besides, I encountered a junior who obtained a divination-type wondrous artifact. I acquired a rather interesting little thing from it. If brother is interested, you may come find me afterward."
A divination-type wondrous artifact...
At that, Xu Xing paused. "Very well. I'll travel with Senior Sister and Yuanjun for a while, then come find you."
"Mm."
With that, Hong Sovereign set down the teacup in his hand.
The sea of clouds stretched onward, and the sunlight remained bright. Yet the mountain wind sweeping past grew more urgent, carrying wisps of cloud and mist that curled around the mountaintop, shrouding it in hazy obscurity.
Before long, another gust of mountain wind swept through.
Whoosh—
The clouds and mist dispersed, and the four people beside the stone table atop the mountain vanished with them.
