“To help her to recover–the difficulty would be no easier than trying to resurrect a dead person.”
“Moreover, it’s not a person who’s just drawn his final breath but a person who’s already been dead for two years.”
Yan Xu looked at Yan Zhaoge, “In recent days, you have indeed far exceeded everyone’s expectations by consecutively performing a number of major deeds, but I’d like to know–do you have the power to bring the dead back to life?”
Elder Qin remained silent, but he obviously agreed with what Yan Xu had said.
He looked calmly at Yan Zhaoge, waiting for him to give him an explanation.
Yan Zhaoge said with a slight smile on his face, “Elder Qin, you said just now that the power of yin within Junior Sister Feng’s body was only a bit stronger than that of ordinary people?”
Elder Qin nodded his head, “That’s right.”
Yan Zhaoge said leisurely, “When I first met her, she was actually no different from the common person. Her Extreme Yin Physique had already completely dried up, with only some remnant traces and not even a single bit of Extreme Yin qi left at all.”
“What?!” Elder Qin’s eyes abruptly widened.
He looked towards Feng Yunsheng, finding it rather hard to believe Yan Zhaoge’s words.
Feng Yunsheng now opened her mouth, saying, “While travelling alongside Senior Brother Yan these past few days, this junior received the acupuncture treatment of his golden needle secret technique. With that, the dried up arteries and veins in my body have indeed begun to fill with Extreme Yin qi once more.”
“While the rate of recovery is extremely slow, my condition is already different from before.”
Yan Xu and the others all stared at Yan Zhaoge and Feng Yunsheng in disbelief.
Yan Zhaoge laughed, “Our clan has never had a Maiden of Extreme Yin, having not been able to find one despite searching everywhere. These past few years, while the other Sacred Grounds competed for the Extreme Yin Crown, we could only watch from the sidelines. I was also extremely worried and troubled by this situation.”
“Thus, I thought: while the Extreme Yin Physique comes inborn, is there the possibility that it could be artificially induced in a person?”
“Thus, I began gathering lots of records and information and did some research in this field.” Yan Zhaoge shook his head a little regretfully. “Sadly, the Extreme Yin Physique is a gift from the Heavens; I made no progress and have no hope whatsoever of inducing it artificially.”
He swivelled his head to look towards Feng Yunsheng, “However, I also managed to accumulate quite some knowledge in this area. In the end, I discovered that, while it is impossible to induce the Extreme Yin Physique after birth, if there was someone who had been born with the Extreme Yin Physique yet had it damaged afterwards, repairing it would indeed be possible.”
“I also have to thank Junior Sister Feng for trusting in me and allowing me to experiment on her. After all, I have never had a way to verify the efficacy of the method I came up with before now.”
Yan Xu was expressionless as he looked coldly at Yan Zhaoge and Feng Yunsheng, “A one-sided claim. How can you prove it?”
Yan Zhaoge said, “From the time I met Junior Sister Feng to now–the time that’s passed has not been long.”
“After a few more days, the Extreme Yin qi within Junior Sister Feng’s body will have strengthened a step further. At that time, my words will be validated.”
Yan Xu said expressionlessly, “The people of the Sacred Sun Clan were repelled by this old man just a few days ago. Now that all of you have returned, they should come knocking again very soon.”
“We must make a decision and fast. We don’t have the time to wait for that verification of yours.”
Yan Zhaoge’s raised his brows slightly, intending to speak, but was interrupted by Elder Qin’s raised hand.
The burly East Elder looked straight at Yan Zhaoge, “Even assuming that what you claim is true, to what extent can your method help her to recover? Will she regain merely a portion of what she had previously, or can you cause it to be as it was before, or at least bring her close to her peak state?”
His expression a little solemn, Yan Zhaoge said slowly, “Recovery would require some time. Also, there are some required resources and environmental conditions that I am still lacking and will have to be procured.”
“As for what extent she can recover to?” Yan Zhaoge gazed back at Elder Qin candidly.
“To an even stronger condition than before!”
He suddenly laughed. “If I fail to do so, I will enter the Heaven Sealing Gorge.”
Elder Qin looked at Yan Zhaoge, his gaze deep and silent.
Yan Xu wrinkled his brows, wanting to say something, but was interrupted by someone from outside coming in to report that the Sacred Sun Clan had mobilised right to their doorstep.
“Elder Qin?” Yan Xu looked at him.
The burly Elder stared impatiently. “Directly send them packing! They won’t find the people they want here, only a pair of fists!”

HSSB61: The Sacred Sun Clan comes knocking
Hearing Elder Qin’s instructions, Yan Xu fell silent for a moment before he nodded, got up and headed outside.
Feng Yunsheng bowed to Elder Qin. “Thank you, Elder.”
Elder Qin waved his hands. “Little girl, this matter regarding you is too important–this old man cannot simply make a decision about it on my own. You will have to wait for the final decision to come from the main headquarters of our clan itself.”
“Yes, this junior understands.”
Feng Yunsheng now swivelled her head to look at Yan Zhaoge, saying in a low voice, “Thank you.”
The Heaven Sealing Gorge was something that even she, as a past disciple of the Sacred Sun Clan, had heard of.
The Heaven Sealing Gorge was where Broad Creed Mountain held those who had committed serious crimes. Only those who were utterly evil yet could not be sentenced to death at the time or Broad Creed Mountain martial practitioners who had committed extremely grave mistakes would be imprisoned there.
According to rumours, it was a place where the light of day could not be seen—a place with an environment that was even more atrocious than that in the Sealing Dragon Abyss.
Since Broad Creed Mountain was founded, there had yet to be anybody who had been able to escape on their own after having been imprisoned there.
Yan Zhaoge looked at her nonchalantly. “I just have confidence in myself.”
Feng Yunsheng answered impatiently, “Yes, I lacked confidence in you—that was my fault. Next time, I will definitely make sure to have faith.”
“Next time, I’ll say ‘Nice one, I knew I could rely on you!”
Yan Zhaoge let out a ‘ha’ sound as he said, “Low-key, low-key.”
At this moment, outside the mansion, a ring of golden light that looked like the sun was suspended in mid-air above the street, causing the surrounding area to become extremely hot and unbearable as the passers-by hurriedly withdrew.
Those more knowledgeable knew that this was the Sacred Sun Clan’s Principal Elder in the Eastern Tang Kingdom.
And now he had on the look of soldiers before the walls of an enemy city—his target being the headquarters of Broad Creed Mountain’s Principal Elder in the Eastern Tang Kingdom. Obviously a conflict had occurred between the two Sacred Grounds yet again.
In the Eastern Tang, this kind of thing was not all that rarely seen. Still, much of the conflict between the two clans took place in the dark.
Now however, one’s side Principal Elder was overbearingly knocking on the other’s doorstep.
“The conflict between the two sides has gone up by another level, but I feel like it shouldn’t be to the extent of directly breaking out into a fight here in Jingyang City, right? A clash between two Martial Grandmasters—just the resulting shockwaves would be enough
to level the surrounding area into a flat land!”
Many people were extremely worried.
From that golden sun hanging in the sky, a violent voice resounded, “Yan Xu, I know that that brat surnamed Yan is back!”
“He harboured a disciple of my Sacred Sun Clan who betrayed and escaped from the clan, even injuring the disciples that my Sacred Sun Clan dispatched to capture her back!”
“If your Broad Creed Mountain cannot teach its disciples, then let me teach them for you!”
“Hand over Yan Zhaoge and that lowly maid immediately! Otherwise I’ll tear down this place of yours!”
Yan Xu’s calm voice now resounded from within the mansion, “The whereabouts of my clan’s disciples is not something that this old man is accountable to you for. If your Sacred Sun Clan lost your disciple, go and find her yourself! What does it have to do with my Broad Creed Mountain?”
“There’s no one that you want here. Stop making random excuses. If you want to find trouble, this old man will accompany you for a bit.”
From within the golden sun, a human figure gradually materialised. It was an elderly man who was wearing a golden robe, with a look of wealth about him.
He stared at the mansion below him, laughing fiercely. “Injuring disciples of my Sacred Sun Clan and harbouring fugitives of my Sacred Sun Clan—your Broad Creed Mountain has really grown brave indeed.”
“Looks like you have forgotten that if it hadn’t been for my Sacred Sun Clan being merciful in the past, your Broad Creed Mountain would long since have been extinct!”
Hearing this, the Yan Zhaoge within the great hall scoffed, “Not afraid of twisting your tongue even under such a strong wind.”
When the Flame Devils had first invaded and then been repelled, the exalted Hantian Zhan Dongge had fallen, with Broad Creed Mountain having suffered the greatest losses amongst the various Sacred Grounds. With that, the Sacred Sun Clan as well as the other Sacred Grounds had been granted a chance to catch up to Broad Creed Mountain.
Some respected the contribution that had been made by Zhan Dongge and Broad Creed Mountain, but there were also those who had ill intentions, wanting to make use of the chance to topple the clan while it was down.
Luckily, the Broad Creed Mountain of that time possessed many competent people. One of them, who had willingly served by Zhan Dongge’s side, though his radiance was outshone into obscurity by the former, now stepped out.
This person was the Heaven Diviner Zhan Xilou. He was the Exalted Hantian Zhan Dongge’s brother, and also the one who succeeded him as the next Clan Chief.
After Zhan Dongge fell, Zhan Xilou, who succeeded him, took charge of the clan splendidly with his own power and revealed a shocking brilliance.
And it was because the previously unknown Zhan Xilou had suddenly sprung up out of nowhere that, even though Broad Creed Mountain’s strength had been greatly damaged following the first invasion of the Flame Devils, it could still stand firm against all adversities and managed to make it through its darkest hour intact.
Zhan Dongge and Zhan Xilou also came to be known as the most legendary pair of brothers in the Eight Extremities World after the time of the Great Calamity.
The founder of the Sacred Sun Clan, who had been respectfully christened as the Sacred Sun Saint by the masses and had successfully led his clan to prominence following that battle with the Flame Devils, clashed with Zhan Xilou and Broad Creed Mountain often.
Under Zhan Xilou, Broad Creed Mountain adopted a conservative position, hiding its strength and keeping a low profile. It quietly built up its power once more while also moving and retreating as needed, never allowing the Sacred Sun Clan to truly gain too much of an advantage from it.
Afterwards, the Sacred Sun Saint resigned and passed down his position of Clan Chief, following which no news of him was ever heard again.
Zhan Xilou, on the other hand, fell in yet another great war with the Flame Devils, spilling the last drops of his blood for the Eight Extremities World just like his brother before him.
However, with Zhan Xilou’s hard work, Broad Creed Mountain had gradually been able to gain a stable foothold once again, from its original state where it’d seemed like even the wind and the rain could have caused it to quiver and shake.
It was only that during this same period of time, the Sacred Sun Clan, following much expansion and development, finally managed to surpass Broad Creed Mountain, thus usurping its position as the strongest of the Sacred Grounds.
Yan Zhaoge shrugged his shoulders. “If his family’s Sacred Sun Saint is still around, please ask him to show himself. With the attacks of the Flame Devils getting fiercer and fiercer in the present day, he would be just the sort of expert the Eight Extremities World needs.”
Yan Xu’s figure now appeared above in the air above the mansion, as his gaze met that of the Sacred Sun Clan’s golden-robed Elder straight on, “Destroy my Broad Creed Mountain? If you think you can do it, then feel free to try.”
The golden-robed Elder laughed coldly, “If I didn’t lack the permission to, I would have taken care of you long ago. Today, I will start by destroying you!”
His aura-qi surged, as he was once again enveloped by golden light.
It was unlike the illusory sunlight that the likes of Xiao Shen and Chao Yuanlong could produce. Instead, he had truly transformed into a sun, brilliantly illuminating the surrounding lands.
The moisture in the surrounding air completely evaporated. Small cracks began snaking through the ground along the street, and the grass and the trees all became charred and withered.
Under the high temperature, the surrounding air distorted.
Yan Xu was expressionless as, a serious look in his eyes, both his hands pushed outwards simultaneously.
The cultivation of a Martial Grandmaster was shown in its full entirety as the Tushita palm that Yan Xu was currently using was dissimilar to the same martial art when utilised by a Martial Scholar like Yan Zhaoge.
Purple flames instantly appeared, transforming into an actual sea of flames which clashed with the huge golden sun.
The purple Tushita flames and the golden sunlight met in mid-air, as the surrounding temperature instantly rose yet again.
Some dry, flammable objects from the surrounding environment immediately ignited as the heavens and the earth within the surrounding hundred li all but transformed into a world of flames.
As the Eastern Tang capital Jingyang City shuddered, line after line of spirit patterns began appearing on the ground.
The air became slightly cooler, as Yan Xu and the golden-robed Elder both felt themselves being suppressed by a formless pressure.
The two did not cease fighting, as they allowed Jingyang City’s grand formation to suppress the area that their clash would affect as it was made to do.
Within the air, the purple Tushita flames and the golden sunlight clashed and roiled unceasingly, causing the very heavens to roil and the earth to overturn.
The great sun that the golden-robed Elder had transformed into resembled the true overhanging sun itself.
The sun suddenly began gradually getting smaller, the figure of the golden-robed Elder reappearing. The sun now materialised at his palm, incomparably refined and dazzling as compared to before.
The golden-robed Elder lifted his hand, as it seemed like he was lifting up the very sun itself. Then, he struck out with his palm!
With an inward motion of Yan Xu’s palms, the purple Tushita flames in the surrounding air also began agglomerating.
The leaping flames were suppressed and refined to the point of possessing true form and substance, as they actually took the form of a massive purple pill furnace.
The purple flames within the pill furnace leapt about unceasingly as with the heavens and the earth as the pill furnace and the universe as the driving force, a domineering power headed straight for the sun in the golden-robed Elder’s palm!

m head-on
HSSB62: Repelling them head-on
As the two Martial Grandmaster experts clashed, the natural phenomena in the sky and the ambient temperature changed for a distance of a hundred li in all directions.
Luckily, Jingyang City’s grand formation kept the resulting tempest contained within a limited, restricted area.
Within that area, however, it was already like the world had been turned upside down.
“Broad Creed Mountain is intent on opposing my Sacred Sun Clan?”
Now, an imposing voice resounded in the air above Jingyang City.
The next instant, a massive golden sun that was even larger than that of the golden-robed Elder appeared within the air.
As this massive sun appeared, the sun which the golden-robed man had transformed into instantly dimmed.
And as for the purple flames of Yan Xu’s Tushita palm, in that same instant, they dimmed even more so and were almost extinguished!
Yan Xu let out a muffled groan as the pill furnace formed of the purple Tushita flames immediately filled with cracks before it finally collapsed and broke apart.
Despite leaping around in mid-air for a bit, even the flames that were left over from the collapsed pill furnace seemed like they were going to die at any moment.
That second sun hung high in the sky, actually contending with the real sun itself in terms of radiance. It actually seemed at that moment that there were two suns present in the sky, illuminating the Eastern Tang capital of Jingyang City together.
At this moment, Jingyang City’s grand formation no longer appeared as undisturbed as it had been against Yan Xu and the golden-robed Elder.
In the air, line after line of spirit patterns lit up, distorting over and over again.
Within the mansion, the eyebrows of the seated Elder Qin lifted slowly. “If you want to show off your power, you’ve come to the wrong place.”
From within the mansion, a majestic sword-qi suddenly shot out and surged into the skies.
Where the sword-qi passed, the unbearable heat brought about by the two suns decreased instantly, as the entire land turned cool.
