Yan Zhaoge said, “Whereas this Junior Brother Zhao of Infinite Boundless Mountain, will be hailed as his clan’s hero.”
“You see: an outsider comes to their clan’s territory full of himself, pointing and commanding others as he likes, yet the other members of the clan are all unable to do anything about it, only able to watch that outsider showing off, being full of anger yet completely helpless within.”
“At this time, a young disciple rises up from nowhere, turning the tide with his own efforts, allowing the entire clan to lift its head up high, not just solving a major problem which had been plaguing the clan for a long time but also beating the face of the originally arrogant outsider to a pulp, causing his reputation to sweep the floor, only able to scram back in the dirt.”
“And this young disciple who turned the tides thereon walks to the peak, with the clan placing him highly and taking good care of him, giving him the best resources and assurances, gifting and educating him in the best martial arts that they possess.”
“En, and there would very possibly also be beautiful senior and junior apprentice-sisters who would have their hearts stolen by him as a result.”
Yan Zhaoge smiled lightly, “How about it; is this story inspirational or what? Truly moving to the extreme.”
Feng Yunsheng looked at Yan Zhaoge, looking as though she was smiling whilst also not, “It sounds a little strange; how did you think up all this nonsensical stuff that’s all over the place ah?”
She looked first at herself, then at Sikong Qing, “From what you say, why not let’s add a: The maidens who had originally arrived together with that outsider perhaps secretly fell for him, perhaps felt curious about him, or perhaps were just dissatisfied at their loss, but, whatever the case, all gave their hearts to this person at that very moment?”
Yan Zhaoge smiled as he looked at her, “Hey, how did you know?”
“Following that strange path of thinking of yours, duh,” Feng Yunsheng said impatiently, “If you have the time to have all those strange notions in your head, why not think of how to solve this problem before your eyes? Or do you really want to, like you said, have your face beaten to a pulp, your reputation sweeping the floor, only able to scram back in the dirt?”
Yan Zhaoge said leisurely, “Some say that explosions are art, are justice, are faith.”
These words were said very softly, such that Feng Yunsheng didn’t really catch them, “What?”
Before she had finished with her question, the quarry around them, suddenly began to quake intensely!
It was especially so for its pith area, which actually gave off the feeling of seas surging and rivers overturning, as though it was about to completely blow!
Greatly shocked, the Magnetite Elder broke off Zhao Hao’s Broken Vein Resuming Flow technique, suppressing the abnormalities in the vein with all his might.
Even so, the entire Giant Spirit Magnetite vein resembled a gigantic barrel of gunpowder that had been ignited!

HSSB132: A sincere Yan Zhaoge
The Magnetite Elder was currently suppressing the abnormalities in the Giant Spirit Magnetite vein with all his might, but at this moment, the entire quarry was as though it was about to collapse.
Luckily, Shan Shiweng and Elder Zuo were present as well. With the three Infinite Boundless Mountain bigwigs working in unison, they were finally able to stabilise the vein.
What made those of Infinite Boundless Mountain want to cry yet not have the tears to do so was the fact that Yan Zhaoge’s and Zhao Hao’s earlier work had all gone down the drain.
Elder Zuo sucked in a deep breath, controlling his own emotions as he looked towards Zhao Hao, asking in a deep tone, “How did this happen?”
Zhao Hao’s brows were tightly knit as he was completely fixated on the Giant Spirit Magnetite vein before him which suddenly seemed completely foreign to him.
Not even answering Elder Zuo’s question, not even waiting for the abnormalities within the quarry to be completely quelled, bearing the quaking of the surrounding land, he quickly went forward to stroke the pith of the quarry.
After a moment, Zhao Hao’s face abruptly sunk, “It’s completely changed…the Broken Vein Resuming Flow technique is no longer usable; if it were used, it would only damage the vein further!”
“Just what…” Zhao Hao suddenly swivelled his head to look at Yan Zhaoge.
Yan Zhaoge noticed that Zhao Hao was staring at him, yet treated it like it was nothing.
Also looking stunned, he too appraised the Giant Spirit Magnetite vein, carefully checking the pith of the quarry.
After a moment, he shook his head, “My Piercing Scouting technique is also no longer usable.”
Elder Zuo stared at Zhao Hao, “Was it an accident in the operation, with the method still being able to be used, or was it a problem with the method itself?”
At Elder Zuo’s question, Zhao Hao was silent, as he only stared at Yan Zhaoge.
While his knowledge of Giant Spirit Magnetite veins was inferior to Yan Zhaoge’s, it was also not low, and he could vaguely feel now that, he had been set up by Yan Zhaoge!
He had previously believed that Yan Zhaoge’s Piercing Scouting technique, while not having caused any visible changes, had instead boosted the effects of his Broken Vein Resuming Flow technique.
But actually, perhaps it was because Yan Zhaoge had silently altered the state of the vein before performing the Piercing Scouting technique that his Broken Vein Resuming Flow technique had not just failed, but had even caused the whole place to almost blow to the high heavens.
At Zhao Hao’s enraged gaze, Yan Zhaoge pretended completely not to see it, as he instead checked the pith of the quarry with a puzzled look on his face, “Such a change was really out of my expectations; this way, this matter will be somewhat harder to handle.”
The Magnetite Elder had a bitter look on his face, as Shan Shiweng was also frowning.
Both of them as well as Elder Zuo looked somewhat suspiciously between Yan Zhaoge and Zhao Hao.
Because the abnormalities caused by the Broken Vein Resuming Flow technique earlier had caused a large change in the flow of spiritual qi in the vein itself as well as the surrounding environment.
Although they had reacted quickly enough, joining hands to suppress the abnormalities, all the earlier details had been completely wiped out, rendering it hard for them to identify what exactly had led to the scene currently before their eyes.
They also vaguely suspected that Yan Zhaoge had perhaps tampered with things, but lacked any actual evidence.
And what was most significant was the fact that as compared to Zhao Hao who was already completely out of ideas, the restoration of the Giant Spirit Magnetite vein currently still depended on Yan Zhaoge.
Still having to rely on this junior of Broad Creed Mountain at the end of the day-this caused Shan Shiweng and the others to feel somewhat dejected.
Shan Shiweng let out a dry cough, “Just now, you mentioned that there is still a technique that can allow the vein to recover to ninety percent?”
Belonging to the faction of Infinite Boundless Mountain that leaned towards Broad Creed Mountain, he had not opened his mouth to mock Yan Zhaoge just now. Now, he could finally at least ease the atmosphere a bit.
Meanwhile, Elder Zuo and the Magnetite Elder both felt awkward to the point of not uttering a sound.
Hearing his words, Yan Zhaoge smiled, “There is indeed still a method. However, it was targeted at the previous state of the vein. I will have to survey the area once more to check whether it is currently still usable.”
Shan Shiweng let out a bitter laugh as he nodded, “Experienced and steady; having such a son, Yan Di should be happy.”
Hearing Shan Shiweng’s evaluation of Yan Zhaoge, the crowd of Infinite Boundless Mountain disciples nearly spat out blood, wanting to rebut, yet unable to do so.
His face livid, Zhao Hao sto
od rooted to the spot. How could he not understand that whilst complimenting Yan Zhaoge, Shan Shiweng had also been reprimanding him!
Lacking in abilities, yet still advancing recklessly!
While he had not expressly said these words, Zhao Hao could feel everyone’s gazes currently on him, obviously all reprimanding him this way.
A short while ago, he had still been a hero who had suddenly risen up from nowhere; now, he had already fallen from the heavens to the bottom of the lowest pit.
He had wanted to create a name for himself in Infinite Boundless Mountain. Originally, he would have done so in a more brilliant way than any of the other Infinite Boundless Mountain younger generation disciples, but now, in a feat that had never been seen before from the dawn of history, after having taken that one great step into the heavens, he had been, instantly and directly, stomped into the ground!
Much less rising, he had instead ended up in a pit full of mud.
Although the Magnetite Elder had quelled the abnormalities in the vein in a timely manner, and there had not truly been any irreversible losses, he could predict that his, Zhao Hao’s following days in Infinite Boundless Mountain might not pass so smoothly.
As the one who had referred Zhao Hao, Elder Zuo similarly heard that meaning in Shan Shiweng’s words as he could only feel a hot, burning pain on his face.
As he carefully checked the pith of the quarry, Yan Zhaoge heard Feng Yunsheng’s voice sound by his ears, “Was this all part of your plan?”
“When I heard Zhao Hao say that his method could restore the vein to seventy percent, I then knew for certain,” Yan Zhaoge said, “The method which could restore the vein to seventy percent is the Broken Vein Resuming Flow technique, while the Piercing Scouting technique can actually restore it to eighty percent. I deliberately suppressed the effects a little, whilst these two techniques, regardless of order of execution, would definitely come into conflict.”
“I need to thank Zhao Hao; otherwise, I also wouldn’t have been able to easily make Infinite Boundless Mountain accept the other Thunder Element Revival Art.”
Hearing his words, Feng Yunsheng asked, “What if Zhao Hao went first? Wouldn’t the one to damage the vein be you then?”
“In that case, I definitely wouldn’t be so foolish as to go on with the original plan, directly moving on to the backup plan, although it would be slightly more troublesome,” Yan Zhaoge shrugged, “However, personality dictates destiny-this Junior Brother Zhao didn’t let me down.”
Yan Zhaoge went through the motions of carefully surveying the pith of the quarry, next closing his eyes as though pondering for a time, before he finally looked at Shan Shiweng, “My second method is still usable.”
“It’s just that there is a small problem with this technique, which your clan might not be able to accept so easily,” Yan Zhaoge paused slightly, “The effects would obviously be better, but I still didn’t employ it earlier-this was the reason for that.”
Shan Shiweng asked, “Now, only this method remains, is it?”
Yan Zhaoge nodded, “At the very least, other than it, I have no other solutions for the time being.”
Glancing at the silent, unspeaking Zhao Hao, Shan Shiweng made a decision, “Just say it!”
If a new, large Giant Spirit Magnetite vein suddenly appeared outside the Mountain Domain, Infinite Boundless Mountain would do everything to obtain it whatever the costs. If the situation so forced it, they even wouldn’t mind going to the war with the other Sacred Grounds!
Infinite Boundless Mountain’s current need for Giant Spirit Magnetite veins was already an extremely urgent one.
Yan Zhaoge answered, “The name of this technique, is the Thunder Element Revival Art.”
“Thunder Element…Revival Art?” Hearing this name, Shan Shiweng, Elder Zuo, the Magnetite Elder and the others all had their hearts jump involuntarily, as a bad feeling vaguely welled up within their hearts.
Yan Zhaoge continued, “This technique, requires the use of an item.”
As he lightly clapped his hands, Ah Hu walked up beside him, a box within his hands. He opened the box, within which was placed a purplish-blue piece of jade.
Within the piece of jade, faint blue lights of thunder was shining, rumbling noises even being emitted from within as they seemed to reveal a human silhouette.
“Thunderbolt Soul Jade!”
Seeing this item, the faces of Shan Shiweng and the others all darkened.
At this point, Elder Zuo also couldn’t be concerned with his face anymore as he raised his head to stare at Yan Zhaoge, “Your method, definitely requires the use of this?”
Thunderbolt Soul Jade, a supreme treasure unique to the Thunder Domain, rare beyond compare, of great use to the Heavenly Thunder Hall!
The importance of Thunderbolt Soul Jade in the eyes of Heavenly Thunder Hall martial practitioners was in no way inferior to the importance of Giant Spirit Magnetite in the eyes of Infinite Boundless Mountain.
Because of its rarity, its demand completely couldn’t be met at all, leading to an extreme shortage of it.
It was rare to the point that even if Infinite Boundless Mountain wanted to trade for it with the Heavenly Thunder Hall, the Heavenly Thunder Hall would also adamantly reject their offer.
If the Sacred Sun Clan wanted to try to make use of this to team up with the Heavenly Thunder Hall in forcing Infinite Boundless Mountain into an alliance, it would instead aggravate the Heavenly Thunder Hall first.
In the eyes of the Heavenly Thunder Hall, none of the other resources of the Eight Extremities World were the equal of the Thunderbolt Soul Jade.
Looking at how these Infinite Boundless Mountain bigwigs had the look of wanting to gobble people up, Yan Zhaoge said innocently, “So, from the start, I completely hadn’t intended to bring this method up.”
“In coming here, my clan’s intentions are to help your clan, enhancing the collaborative relationship between our two sides, hoping that the both of us can form an alliance and face the Sacred Sun Clan and the Heavenly Thunder Hall together. We did not deliberately instigate any trouble on purpose.”
As he said thus, Yan Zhaoge’s gaze brimmed with sincerity.
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 133: You are so innocent, while I am so full of schemes
HSSB133: You are so innocent, while I am so full of schemes
Yan Zhaoge’s completely sincere expression, instead caused those of Infinite Boundless Mountain great pain.
Getting the Heavenly Thunder Hall to voluntarily let out some Thunderbolt Soul Jade would be harder than ascending into the heavens.
Unless one took a Sacred Artifact to exchange, in which case the Heavenly Thunder Hall would be more than happy to do so.
But the problem was-would Infinite Boundless Mountain really be willing to do so?
Perhaps they should just ally with the Sacred Sun Clan and the Heavenly Thunder Hall and decimate Broad Creed Mountain together, then snatch Broad Creed Mountain’s supreme treasure as compensation for the Heavenly Thunder Hall?
Then, the Heavenly Thunder Hall would have one Martial Saint and one Sacred Artifact, and the Sacred Sun Clan would also have the same, as well as an Extreme Yin Crown on top of that.
If Broad Creed Mountain was destroyed, although they would have obtained Thunderbolt Soul Jade, for an Infinite Boundless Mountain with only a single Sacred Artifact guarding them, how far would they be away from destruction?
Shan Shiweng and the others stared at one another, feeling a bit of a headache coming on.
“This is nothing but a threat!” Elder Zuo hatefully sent over a sound transmission, “A junior who can only play little tricks!”
Shan Shiweng said coldly, “If the person whom you referred had not brought upon us such a huge disaster, our clan would also not have been pushed to this extent.”
Elder Zuo snorted, “Even if there had not been Zhao Hao, that fellow surnamed Yan would also definitely have thought of another plan-his underst
anding of Giant Spirit Magnetite veins far exceeds ours!”
Saying till here, Elder Zuo paused slightly, also feeling embarrassed.
Then, he continued, “This pit was specifically dug for us to jump into, ending with forcing our clan to lose our advantages of freedom and initiative, having to choose one side of two!”
The Magnetite Elder said, “But now, we cannot but acquiesce.”
A hint of viciousness flashed through Elder Zuo’s gaze, “Not necessarily!”
“Since we have been forced to choose sides, we might as well stand on the side of the Sacred Sun Clan; it beats being threatened by this mere junior of Broad Creed Mountain!”
“In exchange for our clan’s full assistance, we can get the Sacred Clan to pass the Extreme Yin Crown to the Heavenly Thunder Hall, with the Heavenly Thunder Hall supplying us with Thunderbolt Soul Jade, enabling us to restore our Giant Spirit Magnetite vein.”
“Whoever gains the most in destroying Broad Creed Mountain will all depend on each side’s own abilities.”
“With the Sacred Sun Clan’s position having risen a step further, Turbid Wave Pavilion probably wouldn’t be able to sit still. While Turbid Wave Pavilion does not care about outside matters, it shouldn’t be happy to see the Sacred Sun Clan really lording over the Eight Extremities World.”
Elder Zuo said in a deep tone, “At that time, we can form an alliance with Turbid Wave Pavilion and Jade Sea City, re-establishing a balance with the Sacred Sun Clan and the Heavenly Thunder Hall once more.”
Shan Shiweng sighed, “Your thoughts are too idealised; do not be let astray by a moment of anger.”
“The precondition for your so-called re-establishing a balance with the Sacred Sun Clan and the Heavenly Thunder Hall with three allied powers is that both sides’ abilities will not greatly change from how they are now. However, if Huang Guanglie leaves seclusion successfully, he will most likely have improved a step further. If Chief had then still yet to step into the Martial Saint realm, it would be too hard for us to withstand him.”
“Whether we get friendly with Broad Creed Mountain or the Sacred Sun Clan, the final, intended result should always be the rise of our Infinite Boundless Mountain.”
