537 Another World (1/2)

”Are you against it?” Xie Wang looked at him with narrowed eyes, causing his body to tremble in fear.

Although he may have the appearance of a kind old man right now, Xie Wang used to rule over the Eastern Continent with an iron fist as one of the most powerful Cultivators in this world, not to mention his strict parenting.

However, ever since Xie Xingfang was born, Xie Wang became a kind old man and treated her as though she was a priceless treasure, spoiling her to no end, which would often make Lord Xie jealous.

”I wouldn't dare to object to you, father. If you wish to accompany Xing'er to the Profound Blossom Sect, then I would no longer have a reason to worry about her safety.” Lord Xie said to him with a forced smile.

”Good. Now then, when do you want to leave, Xing'er?” Xie Wang turned to ask her.

”We can leave now,” she quickly responded.

”When do you plan on coming back?” Lord Xie asked her a moment later.

”I don't know, but if the Moonlight Blades are increasing their activities, then I will probably stay there until things have calmed down,” she said after a moment of pondering.

”...”

Lord Xie was speechless, as he didn't really think that Xie Xingfang would find the Profound Blossom Sect much safer than her own home, a place guarded by an entire army.

Sometime later, Xie Xingfang and Xie Wang left Snowfall City and began their travel to the Profound Blossom Sect.

”Thank you for coming with me, grandfather.” Xie Xingfang said to him with a bright smile afterward. ”If it weren't for you, it would've required much more effort to change my father's mind.”

Xie Wang laughed and said, ”Hahaha… don't even mention it. I will do anything for my beloved granddaughter.”

And he continued, ”Anyway, I am really interested in this young man, Su Yang. I have only met him a handful of times, but he always gives me the impression of someone with an almighty and otherworldly background, almost like he does not belong to this world.”

”Perhaps you are right, grandfather. Su Yang's talent is wasted in this small place. If there is another world out there — one that's even more formidable and profound than this one, who knows how much he'll grow.” Xie Xingfang said with her gaze filled with wonder.

”Another world, huh… That reminds me of Immortal Han Xin, who is said to be from another world.” Xie Wang mumbled.

”Is that true, grandfather?” Xie Xingfang's eyes flickered with interest.

”Ever since I reached the Sovereign Spirit Realm, I cannot help but wonder what's beyond the heavens. There is this unscratchable itch inside my heart that longs to travel the starry sky, but alas, with my power, it's only but a childish dream.” Xie Wang spoke in a solemn voice as he stared at the sky, seemingly filled with regret.

However, unbeknownst to him, even in the Four Divine Heavens, where all of the most powerful Cultivators in this universe gather, there exists only a handful of experts that have the ability to transverse the starry sky without the assistance of divine Spiritual Treasures.

Meanwhile, back at the Profound Blossom Sect, after explaining the Grand Formation's functions to the people before him, Su Yang dismissed the disciples, returning them to their training.
