Hearing his words, the husband and wife exchanged looks. Feeling that Yan Zhaoge did not seem like the kind to help them in return for a reward, having set his eyes on their spirit artifact, they could not help but feel puzzled.
With Yan Zhaoge’s current strength and the treasures that he had displayed, he naturally wouldn’t be so set on just a mere mid-grade spirit artifact. Even if he was, there was no way they could prevent him from just forcibly snatching it away.
Thinking of this, Wang Bing answered candidly, “Your words are correct. This mid-grade spirit artifact of mine, the Dawn Glow Bracelet, indeed had Rainbow Dawn Jade Pith integrated into it during its forging.”
Yan Zhaoge raised his head to look at the dimensional passageway in the sky above that looked increasingly unstable, as if it might close up at any moment, “I heard those people mention just now that you hail from the Vast Ocean World?”
“Is Rainbow Dawn Jade Pith still produced within the Vast Ocean World? How is their production rate?”
The couple exchanged glances before the husband, Bai Jingkang answered, “While it is very rare, it is produced in more than one place. It can be considered a rather valuable treasure, its production rate being rather low. Still, a certain quantity is still being produced.”
Raising their heads and looking at the entrance of that dimensional passageway, worried looks involuntarily appeared on their faces.
Originally, they had still been worried about Hai Zhengjie blocking their path on the other side. Now that Hai Zhengjie had chased them over to the Floating Life World and been slain by Yan Zhaoge as well, the two of them no longer had any apprehensions as they hoped to return to their Vast Ocean World as soon as possible.
Yan Zhaoge said, “To tell you the truth, I seek to find this Rainbow Dawn Jade Pith. Going on a trip to the Vast Ocean World, I will have to depend on the two of you.”
Hearing his words, the couple nodded, “You are polite. There are already quarries for Rainbow Dawn Jade Pith within the territory controlled by my Changli Mountain.”
Having the chance to repay Yan Zhaoge, their minds instead relaxed greatly.
Swivelling his head to look at Feng Yunsheng, Xu Fei and the others, just as Yan Zhaoge was about to speak, Xu Fei interrupted him, “Junior apprentice-brother, you should not go. Let me go.”
“The dimensional passageway leading from the Vast Ocean World to the Floating Life World is unstable and will be closing soon.”
“If we go over, we may very possibly be trapped within the Vast Ocean World, unable to return to the Floating Life World and the Eight Extremities World as well.”
Hearing his words, Yan Zhaoge said, “Senior apprentice-brother Xu, your concerns are not unfounded. I have considered this too, and have thoughts of my own on this.”
He flashed the Lofty Prestige Mirror, “With this mirror having come together as one now, while a broken mirror is hard to fully restore, I have some methods of my own to traverse worlds with its assistance.”
“While I am not absolutely certain of its success, it is not like I have completely no hope of returning to the Eight Extremities World.”
Yan Zhaoge let out a long breath, “Amidst the vast infinity of space, there is still more or less a chance for us to determine the coordinates of our Eight Extremities World. However, if we do not enter the Vast Ocean World now, if we want to find it again, there would only be trying our luck.”
“Sister-in-law Yuzhen’s current condition can still be considered stable; her life is not in any danger. However, we have to make use of every opportunity that could help her to recover and wake up, increasing the chances of success as much as possible.”
“At the end of the day, people have limit to their longevities. Even sealed within the ice coffin with her body preserved, if the great limit is reached, she might not be able to wake up ever again.”
Yan Zhaoge sighed, “While Sister-in-law Yuzhen is still young, not having reached the Martial Grandmaster realm and her vitality having been damaged greatly due to the grave injuries that she suffered, there should only be a few decades left to her longevity or even fewer.”
Looking at Yan Zhaoge, Xu Fei asked, “Even if you do have a way to return after you have gone, you still cannot be absolutely certain that it will work, nor do you know how long it might take, right?”
Yan Zhaoge pondered for a moment, “I am still unable to say for sure right now.”
Xu Fei’s expression was earnest, “The time in which we have been stuck in this Floating Life World can be ignored, but if you are trapped within the Vast Ocean World for a few years or even longer, the consequences then would be very grave.”
“It is fine for me, but you definitely cannot go!”
Xu Fei said earnestly, “The clan can do without me, but if you, Zhaoge, are not there, the situation would then be greatly different.”
Yan Zhaoge’s brows were knit tightly, “If I go, even if I have to spend a little more time, I am still confident of being able to return sometime in the future. If it is only you, senior apprentice-brother Xu, who goes, however, you might not ever be able to return to the Eight Extremities World!”
Their relationship not like that between normal disciples, there was naturally no reservations between them as they spoke.
Xu Fei nodded, “I understand, but there definitely exists hope.”
Yan Zhaoge pursed his lips, “Turbid Wave Pavilion’s Senior Sister Xie…”
Xu Fei inhaled deeply, saying slowly, “If you meet Senior Sister Xie after having returned to the Eight Extremities World, Zhaoge, please clearly tell her about my situation.”
As Yan Zhaoge looked at him, he shook his head, “I haven’t had a family since I was young, and my Master has already died as well. Of my attachments to this world, it need not be said that the clan is one of them, and as for individuals, there are Jun’er and his mother as well as Junior Sister Xie.”
“Jun’er already knows of the situation. He says that wherever Sister-in-law Yuzhen goes, that is where he will go as well,” Xu Fei shook his head, “My sole remaining consideration is of Junior Sister Xie, but living in this world, there are some things one just must do, that are rooted not in emotion but in responsibility.”
Xu Fei opened his accompanying Shadow Shrinking Pouch, the figure of Little Shi Jun appearing.
Looking at Yan Zhaoge, he said urgently, “Little apprentice-uncle Yan, I want to go together with Master and Mother.”
Yan Zhaoge had a deeply solemn expression on his face.
To Shi Jun, it was surely best that he could be with his mother, Ying Yuzhen. Whatever world that he would be living in seemed inconsequential in comparison.
However, to Xu Fei, this parting may well be an eternal one.
Those familiar heavens and earth, his beloved Broad Creed Mountain, his lover Xie Youchan whom he would miss greatly-they might never meet again.
Still, Xu Fei would do this without reservation. After Shi Songtao and Shi Tie had died one after the other right before his very eyes, taking care of Ying Yuzhen and Shi Jun had come to hold great significance in his life that might even come to weigh more importantly than that very life itself.
Xu Fei had never said some things out directly, but when the time came when it was necessary to take resolute action in making a choice, no hesitation would then be seen on the man’s part.
The dimensional passageway overhead was already growing immensely unstable.
While Bai Jingkang and Wang Bing could still remain patient, the worry they felt could already be seen on their faces.
“While we are parting in life, it is in no way a parting in death. If fate so allows it, we will meet again someday,” Looking at Yan Zhaoge with firm determination in his gaze, Xu Fei flashed a relaxed smile at him, “Keep your spirits up! I’ll still be depending on you to get us back over.”

Eight Extremities World
Xu Fei’s expression was very normal as solemnness did not show on his face. Still, his gaze was determined, not wavering or hesitant in the least.
Yan Zhaoge gave Xu Fei a deep look before suddenly pointing outwards, his finger resembling a sharp sword as a bloodied hole now appeared on Xu Fei’s arm.
Little Shi Jun gave a startled cry while Xu Fei remained unmoving where he was, looking calmly at Yan Zhaoge.
Guiding Xu Fei’s fresh blood, Yan Zhaoge drew in mid-air, forming a profound, complicated rune.
Next, he flashed the Lofty Prestige Mirror at that rune. The bloodred rune instantly formed an impression on the mirror which seemed to seep into its surface.
“I will definitely bring you guys back,” Yan Zhaoge said in a heavy tone, appearing solemn as he had never been before.
Xu Fei relaxedly stopped the bleeding before gulping down a mouthful of wine from the wineskin at his waist and smiling, “We’ll be waiting.”
Yan Zhaoge speedily imparted the method for treating Ying Yuzhen with the Rainbow Dawn Jade Pith to Xu Fei, also drawing up a list for him that contained all of the other techniques he had currently thought of which might also be of help to Ying Yuzhen’s recovery.
With this, having arrived at the Vast Ocean World, if there were treasures other than the Rainbow Dawn Jade Pith which might also be of use, Xu Fei and Shi Jun would be able to make use of them in Ying Yuzhen’s treatment as well.
The dimensional passageway in the sky, being exceptionally unstable, was already gradually showing signs of closing up.
Yan Zhaoge looked at Bai Jingkang and his wife, saying, “Please help to take good care of my senior apprentice-brother.”
Xu Fei said as well, “I will be troubling you.”
While he had still yet to reach the Essence Spirit Martial Grandmaster realm, looking at his cultivation base and then his age, Bai Jingkang and Wang Bing could not look down on him as they both nodded courteously.
Bai Jingkang said emotionally, “We husband and wife will never be able to pay back our great debt to you. We will definitely do all we can in this matter.”
Wang Bing said, “Even if our abilities are limited, we can still report it to our clan. Our clan is one of the Vast Ocean World’s Seven Pillars of Good. It would not be difficult if we just wanted to find some things.”
Having broken through the dimensions of space and come to the Floating Life World and met Yan Zhaoge and the others would have been purely coincidental. They were not afraid that they had been set up.
As for Yan Zhaoge having a request of them in return for his assistance, as the two of them saw it, it was a completely normal thing.
Moreover, as Yan Zhaoge had thought, when this couple had heard that the clan Yan Zhaoge and the others hailed from was named Broad Creed Mountain, they had felt a sense of closeness to it as well.
With Yan Zhaoge possessing such a cultivation base and such great strength at such an age, they were also more than happy to sow the seeds of positive karma with him.
The couple took their leave, “May we meet again.”
Then, they rose up into the air together.
Xu Fei kept his wineskin and waved towards Yan Zhaoge and the others, “Take good care of yourselves.”
Then, he brought Shi Jun along in flying towards the entrance of that dimensional passageway within the sky.
Yan Zhaoge stood there, his head upraised, staring at their figures vanishing within the dimensional passageway.
After a while, the entrance of the dimensional passageway began gradually collapsing, turning blurry and distorted.
Finally, the dimensional passageway vanished amidst the horizon, no longer visible at all.
The sky overhead resumed its usual appearance.
Looking at the sky that now no longer appeared any out of the ordinary at all, Yan Zhaoge, Ah Hu, Feng Yunsheng and Ying Longtu were all silent for a time.
“Let’s go.”
After a long time, Yan Zhaoge exhaled slowly, turning as he said, “We have already spent enough time in this Floating Life World.”
Feng Yunsheng, Ah Hu and Ying Longtu nodded.
They followed the most intense streak of scattered light from when they had previously been looking for the dimensional passageway that would lead them back to the Eight Extremities World.
Yan Zhaoge and the others moved five thousand kilometres north before analysing the spiritual qi flow in the vicinity as they also felt for the changes in the surrounding heavens and earth.
After a long time of searching, Yan Zhaoge’s eyes abruptly lit up before he led everyone in flying forward.
Soon, they could see what seemed to be a massive clump of dark clouds in the distant horizon, a vortex at their centre which unceasingly swept along and absorbed the surrounding air currents.
Having arrived close by, Yan Zhaoge led them along in entering the centre of those dark clouds together. Heading upwards, as they raised their heads, they could indeed see yet another dimensional passageway entrance concealed amidst the depths of the rotating air currents.
This dimensional passageway would indeed bring them back to the Eight Extremities World where they came from.
Space distorted unceasingly around its entrance as it brought the horizon of the Floating Life World here along in shifting unceasingly, resembling a twister that was actually moving.
Within the eye of this storm was the entrance to the dimensional passageway.
Yan Zhaoge extended his palm, streams of his true essence transforming into a massive heaven-obscuring palm which appraised and measured the integrity of the area.
“It’s still alright. This dimensional passageway can still hold on for some time before being sealed,” After a while, Yan Zhaoge nodded slightly, “Still, I’m afraid that time is still gradually ticking down. We’ve got to be leaving soon.”
After carefully analysing the spatial changes around the entrance of the dimensional passageway and gaining an understanding of the situation, there was already no need to worry about not being able to find the way back later on. Yan Zhaoge immediately brought the group along in leaving the vortex of dark clouds.
They returned to the Jade Ridge Snowy Mountains in the west domain, Yan Zhaoge sighing after he saw Su Yun, “Aunt Yun, we’ve got to be leaving soon.”
Su Yun could not bear to part with him somewhat as well, “Young Master, remember to take good care of yourself. When you see Lord, remember to greet him on my behalf.”
“If…if you are able to see Lady, please bring up a word for me. Ask Lady if she can make time for a trip to the Floating Life World when she is free. I really miss her.”
Yan Zhaoge said, “Rest easy, Aunt Yun. I believe that in my mother not having contacted you upon returning to the Floating Life World previously, it must have been due to the circumstances at the time, with her not wishing to bring you trouble. If the circumstances permit it, she will definitely come to see you.”
Su Yun looked a little worried, “That is precisely what I am most worried about. I hope that Lady is safe and sound.”
Yan Zhaoge comforted her some more before mentioning to her the matter of the Vast Ocean World, letting her be mentally prepared for it should the need arise.
The Floating Life World was comparatively sealed off, but if a stable dimensional passageway was formed between it and the Vast Ocean World, it would be greatly impactful on the people here, and not necessarily in a good way.
The people of Green Dragon Mountain, the Thunder Rumbling Clan, the Blood Cloud Clan and the Blazing Fire Clan congregated in the west domain once more, just that this time, it was to send Yan Zhaoge his Grand Spirit Stone Essence.
Earlier, because Yan Zhaoge had asked for it, the region of the Huoqin Mountain Range had been completely swept clear of people by the Thunder Rumbling Clan beforehand, no one knowing of what had occurred them.
However, the major battle that had erupted in that area which had shaken the surroun
ding heavens and earth had still been detected by those in the vicinity.
The martial practitioners of the Floating Life World had made many guesses regarding this, feeling unsettled as they hoped that Yan Zhaoge could let them know something about this.
Yan Zhaoge appeared as if nothing had happened at all, leaving them helpless as to this situation.
Some noticed that Xu Fei was missing, but dared not to ask further on it.
While some guessed that Yan Zhaoge’s group might have met with a setback, seeing that there were no abnormalities in Yan Zhaoge himself at all, they would not dare to stir up anything up even if the courage was so lent to them.
If they went in over their heads, they might aggravate Old Devil Yan, his mood fluctuating and unpredictable.
If he, that Great Demon King, flared up, their entire clans might face the fate of decimation at any time.

HSSB461: The legend left behind by Yan Zhaoge
Having sent off Luo Jinghao and the rest of the demonic bloodline cultivators, Yan Zhaoge sorted out the Grand Spirit Stone Essence that he had obtained.
After having bid Su Yun farewell, bringing along some more talented young disciples of the Snow Crane Sect who were willing to leave their homelands, Yan Zhaoge and the others soundlessly departed from the Jade Ridge Snowy Mountains, hurrying towards the entrance of the dimensional passageway leading back to the Eight Extremities World.
Other than Su Yun and her family, even the disciples of the Snow Crane Sect only knew that some younger, more talented people amongst them were headed someplace miraculous that was much more suited for qi cultivation.
Yan Zhaoge’s group left the Floating Life World in a low profile manner, leaving behind infinite legends for this world.
As time passed and Yan Zhaoge still no longer made an appearance, Luo Jinghao and the others began guessing that like Xue Chuqing before him, he had removed himself entirely from worldly affairs, perhaps even having left for a whole different world altogether.
