Originally, the Emperor of Fengdu was depicted as a tall, dignified middle-aged man.
However, since he has just survived his tribulation and has not yet recovered, he looks pale, thin, and haggard. He doesn't look like a middle-aged man, but rather like a weathered old man.
Furthermore, his body had shrunk considerably, and he looked rather miserable.
This is why Dugu Heng initially felt he was somewhat familiar, but didn't recognize him.
Fortunately, although his body had shrunk, his facial features remained unchanged, and his aura was familiar. Therefore, after careful observation, Dugu Heng quickly recognized him.
"I just survived a major ordeal and haven't had a chance to rest yet, so I look a bit weathered."
The Emperor of Fengdu spoke with a wry smile.
"Transcending tribulation? You've become a quasi-supreme being too?"
Dugu Heng was very surprised.
The Emperor of Fengdu hummed in agreement.
Dugu Heng immediately cupped his hands and smiled, "Congratulations! My Yin-Yang Realm has gained another great general, and perhaps in the future, there will be another supreme being to protect the safety of my Yin-Yang Realm!"
The Emperor of Fengdu smiled wryly, "I've only just become a Quasi-Supreme. Becoming a Supreme is still a long way off."
The two exchanged a few meaningless pleasantries.
Afterwards, Dugu Heng finally got to the point, looking at Chen Xuan beside him and asking curiously, "Who is this fellow Daoist? Why have I never seen him before?"
He had never met Chen Xuan before, but Chen Xuan gave him a very dangerous feeling!
Furthermore, he couldn't see through Chen Xuan's cultivation level!
Chen Xuan simply stood there, motionless, his aura concealed. If you didn't see him with your own eyes, you wouldn't even know there was someone there!
"This man is my brother!"
The Emperor of Fengdu spoke.
"Since he is your brother, Brother Fengdu, then he is my own brother. Since you have come to Beiyuan, please come and sit in my humble abode."
Dugu Heng gestured for him to enter.
The Emperor of Fengdu did not speak, but looked at Chen Xuan.
This surprised Dugu Heng greatly. Why did he want to look at Chen Xuan?
Could it be that Chen Xuan is the backbone of the two of them?
This surprised him. Just who was this Chen Xuan?
"Since you're already here, why don't you come in and have a seat?"
Chen Xuan smiled.
The five great monsters: the Eastern Wilderness, the Southern Barbarians, the Central Continent, the Northern Plains, and the Western Desert.
Chen Xuan has already met the Eastern Emperor, Nangong Wentian, the Central Emperor, and the Boundless King Buddha.
This was the first time he had met Dugu Heng from Beiyuan.
As luck would have it, the crack that opened at the Heavenly Gate was located in the Northern Plains, above the Nine Heavens of the Yin-Yang Realm.
Moreover, it is only a few hundred million miles away from the Dugu family.
Dugu Heng was originally in seclusion, but when he sensed the appearance of this terrifying crack, which seemed to be related to Tianyuan, he dared not be negligent and immediately came here.
He even brought the supreme Dao artifact left behind by the Northern Venerable, ready to use it at any time.
Fortunately, it was one of our own people, so we don't need this thing for now!
The two immediately followed Dugu Heng to the Dugu family.
During the journey, the Emperor of Fengdu secretly transmitted his voice to Chen Xuan: "Brother Chen, we've both returned safely, but what about Xuanxian?"
It felt a little bad to just leave Xuanxian there like that.
"Don't worry, Xuanxian will be fine. It was Xuanxian's idea to let us come back first."
Chen Xuan smiled and sent a telepathic message to the Emperor of Fengdu, telling him not to worry.
Dugu Heng naturally realized that the two were secretly communicating telepathically.
He couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, "Emperor Fengdu, why did you and your brother return from Tianyuan?"
The Emperor of Fengdu remained silent, with Chen Xuan now serving as the central figure.
Let Chen Xuan say what he should and shouldn't say.
Although we are all from the Yin and Yang realms, it's hard to say whether we are on the same side.
"We went to the Xuan Domain."
Chen Xuan spoke up; there was nothing he couldn't say.
With his current strength, he is more than capable of easily defeating Dugu Heng, who is at the near-supreme level!
Of course, unless the two sides have fallen out, Chen Xuan would not make a move against him.
After all, in the primitive era, the Northern Lord made a great contribution in resisting the invasion of the divine realm.
He was the youngest supreme being in the barbaric era, yet he managed to withstand two supreme beings from the divine realm.
Furthermore, it is said that the Northern Venerable obtained a portion of the Desolate Heavenly Venerable's inheritance, a fact that Chen Xuan was also very interested in.
"You went to the Xuan Domain? What are you two doing there?"
Dugu Heng looked surprised.
Clearly, he knew this place too.
"Dugu, you also know about the Xuan Domain?"
The Emperor of Fengdu did not answer Dugu Heng's question directly, but instead asked a question in return.
As the youngest Supreme Being, Bei Zun only remained a Supreme Being for tens of millions of years before the barbaric era ended and a great war began.
Therefore, the Dugu family is the family with the weakest foundation among the many supreme families.
They probably don't know much about the affairs of the myriad realms.
"Of course I know. When Tianyuan was in a period of weakness, I was already born. My father was unable to find the innate Dao metal and thus could not forge his own Supreme Dao artifact."
"So he took me to the Xuan Domain, hoping to try his luck and see if we could reach the Heavenly Xuan Gate."
"After all, there was no time left at that time. Even if we obtained the innate Dao metal, there wouldn't be enough time to forge the Supreme Dao artifact."
"Unfortunately, after traveling around the Xuan Domain, my father did not find the Heaven and Earth Xuan Gate, but he did obtain a wisp of Xuan Fire."
"That wisp of Xuan fire contained a trace of Xuanzun's remnant consciousness. My father activated a wisp of Xuanzun's consciousness and discussed the Dao with him for half an hour."
"After my consciousness dissipated, my father infused that wisp of mystic fire into my body, which is one of the reasons why I was able to enter the Quasi-Supreme Realm faster than any of you."
Dugu Heng spoke up.
Chen Xuan and the Emperor of Fengdu were immediately taken aback.
To everyone's surprise, there was actually Xuanhuo within Dugu Heng's body.
No wonder the Heavenly Mystery Sect sent them to the Northern Plains; they could probably still sense the wisp of Xuan Fire within Dugu Heng's body...
"Didn't the Northern Venerable leave behind a Supreme Dao Artifact? If there's no innate Dao metal and no time to forge it, then how did the Northern Venerable leave behind a Supreme Dao Artifact?"
Chen Xuan asked curiously.
Upon hearing this, Dugu Heng glanced at Chen Xuan in surprise, not expecting that he didn't even know this.
However, this is almost common knowledge, he explained:
"Later, when Dongzun stormed into the God Realm and fought against the God Venerable, the God Realm was thrown into chaos. My father also stormed into the God Realm, seized a piece of innate Dao metal, and escaped unscathed."
"After that, with the help of the Underworld Lord, time was accelerated. Three days outside was equivalent to thirty million years inside. My father used these thirty million years to forge his own Supreme Dao Artifact."
