Qing Lan was completely speechless when Ye Ming questioned about her Immortal's Way. By theory, she should have severed ties with everything related to her mortal life.
However, she could never do that for Ye Ming, especially when he was not bound by any Heavenly Dao.
The Heavenly Dao of the Lower World had to obey him as the Master.
So how could he be restrained by the Lower World's Laws?
"I'm not sure how to respond to that." Qing Lan admitted. She was indeed confused as to why she had such a mindset either. But it was the kind of event that had been long established.
Immortals or cultivators were ultimately different than regular mortals who have a short life span.
"Well, you can be unsure for now, but I do wish to pay that Lower World a visit." Ye Ming laid his head back on her lap and said. "What is this Lower World called now?"
"It has been renamed to Tianwu Country." She responded swiftly, unaware that she had fallen into a trap.
'So she's definitely still concerned about her lower world.' Ye Ming thought to himself. Since he was the type to return a favor from kindness, he wanted to repay Qing Lan with something she must like.
After all, she remained fiercely loyal to him and even protected him from the manifestation of Sword Qi when he first returned to this world.
"After the cleansing, let's pay the Tianwu Country a visit then." Ye Ming declared.
Qing Lan initially wanted to refuse and explain that it would be impossible to make any departure this early on. After all, Ye Qing Lei would definitely ban the idea.
However, she also knew that going against Ye Ming's decision was unwise. Not to mention, the decision wasn't about self-harm, which was the only thing she would ever put a stop to.
In the end, she could only sigh softly and said, "The Young Master should consult with the Madam first in the decision."
"That's a given." Ye Ming nodded. If he didn't go to his mother, then how was he supposed to get a ton of protection equipment or spells or talismans or anything that was overpowered, to begin with.
Only a clown would have some ridiculous pride and refuse the help that makes their life easier.
Imagine talking about integrity and honor, only to end up being chased down like a dead dog because they got nothing useful?
These types of people were the ones that Ye Ming constantly prayed for their downfall. Without any plot armor, these kinds of people were worthless.
"Alright, let's cancel the concealment barrier." Ye Ming got up from her lap and commanded.
He then turned his attention to the Elder Dragon and said in disdain, "This so-called Elder Dragon had been in that ridiculous posture for a long time. He's seriously making me look down at all dragons."
Qing Lan merely smiled in response without any comment. She wouldn't dare to explain to him that the Elder Dragon was considered the ancestor of dragons. Its power surpassed many people and only feared three people.
Ye Xuan, Ye Qing Lei, and Ye Ming. These were the only three people who were capable of forcing a powerful dragon-like him to posture in such a manner.
As she deactivated the concealment barrier, the Elder Dragon quickly greeted Ye Ming.
Although the Elder Dragon could have easily broken such a concealment barrier, it wouldn't dared to. And the truth was that he had figured out he was facing a barrier type, but chose to remain ignorant.
After all, he had lived for so long to understand that the Young Master wished to have some private time with Qing Lan.
How could he disturb him then?
"Okay, where's the armor?" Ye Ming stretched his body and asked.
"Here it is." The Elder Dragon quickly retrieved the armor. The armor was extremely shiny and exuded a powerful aura.
"This is the Dragon Scale Armor, capable of deflecting all types of attack beneath the Beyond Origin Realm." He then explained.
A moment of silence occurred as Ye Ming held the armor and stood in place.
'Huh, any attack below Beyond Origin Realm? Doesn't that mean this armor is invincible unless they had to face against Ye Xuan and Ye Qing Lei?' Once again, Ye Ming realized just how big of a deal his background was.
"This armor is invincible beside two people. How neat is that." Ye Ming snickered coldly. In the entire so-called universe, only his father and mother were Beyond Origin Realm.
No one else was able to reach that realm other than them.
"Wait a minute, then how many Beyond Creation Realms do we have?" Ye Ming turned to Qing Lan and asked. His memories were quite inaccurate now that so much time had passed, so it was hard to accurately determine anything.
Beyond Creation Realm was the 6th rank of the Eternal Celestial Dimension and the only one beneath the Beyond Origin Realm.
"Do you wish for me to include all the minor realm or just the top?" Qing Lan inquired.
"Minor realm?" Initially confused, Ye Ming then recalled the cultivation realm bullshit. "Ah, you mean like the level 1-9th. Wait, don't tell me there's also the nonsense crap of let's say, 4th level of the early stages in X realm."
When Qing Lan remained quiet and held a bittersweet smile, Ye Ming instantly received his answer.
He sighed and said, "I can understand the minor realm, but never explain the dumb early, mid, late, and peak stage crap. If they are level 5 of an X realm, then that's their level. I don't care for their so-called other stages."
"Understood," Qing Lan nodded and continued, "But Young Master still didn't answer me if you want to include the minor realm or not in the calculation."
"Just the minor realm above 5." He said. Anyone below the 5th level of Beyond Creation Realm was unworthy to be in the calculation. He was an exception because his status alone surpassed even Beyond Origin Realm—and so were his maids.
Having received the instruction, Qing Lan answered. "Less than 5 people are in the Beyond Creation Realm above 5, and the Elder Dragon is one of them."
