“After Jade Sea City’s Jade Sea Pill Heart Sword was forged, when the chaos in the East Sea as well as Hell had still yet to come and the Sacred Sun Clan and the Heavenly Thunder Hall joined hands in attacking Jade Sea City, I had already been afraid that they might openly attack Jade Sea City yet actually be aiming for the Heaven Cleaving Axe in secret.”
Fu Enshu nodded, “We specifically reminded Infinite Boundless Mountain of this possibility as well. When Master and junior apprentice-brother Yan made their moves, they were also cautious of the enemy openly targeting one thing whilst actually aiming for another.”
Yan Zhaoge spread his palms apart, “Afterwards, due to the chaos in Hell, the two sides had to set down their arms and make peace.”
“In the East Sea this time, however, Infinite Boundless Mountain’s number one expert Chu Yan was heavily injured and returned to their Mountain prematurely. While the Heaven Cleaving Axe remained in the East Sea with Infinite Boundless Mountain’s Transcending Mortality Martial Grandmaster controlling it, with this Sacred Artifact after all being heavily injured as well, the Sacred Sun Clan and the Heavenly Thunder Hall might then be given an opportunity to make a move on it.”
“If the Heaven Cleaving Axe fell into the other side’s hands, with an addition for them and a reduction for us, the equilibrium of the global situation might then be broken.”
Fu Enshu sighed, “This is also an unavoidable thing. After all, in having concentrated our forces to deal with the Flame Devils earlier, the worst thing would have been insufficient experts present.”
Yan Zhaoge chuckled, “The Sacred Sun Clan has indeed schemed deeply with this.”
“The third thing we have to guard against is a change having arisen with the mindset of Turbid Wave Pavilion.”
At this point, Yan Zhaoge raised his head, “After father Transcended Mortality and entered Sainthood, he has truly become invincible within the Eight Extremities World. He would even be able to beat everyone else combined single-handedly.”
“Adding on Grand Master and the Clear Qi Robe, our clan was virtually about to return to that golden age with Ancestor Exalted Heaven Shaker.”
“Even if Grand Master is temporarily missing, as long as father is here, it is incontestable that our clan is the number one Sacred Ground.”
Fu Enshu’s current expression was a little strange as well, “Junior apprentice-brother Yan still has the possibility of improving. At that time, he would be able to sweep through all beneath the heavens on his own.”
Exchanging looks, the two did not know whether to laugh or to cry for a time.
Under such circumstances, while Yan Di was currently still within the Seal of the East Sea and unable to extricate himself, it was truly hard to predict what Turbid Wave Pavilion might think.
Yan Zhaoge said, “There is still some time before we will be able to return to the Eight Extremities World. There is nothing that we can do just thinking about it now. We can only hope that things are stable over at the Eight Extremities World and that junior apprentice-sister Feng and the others are safe. As long as nothing goes wrong with us internally, we should be able to get through this in peace.”
Fu Enshu looked at Yan Zhaoge, “Right, it is also useless thinking about all this now.”
“Instead, it is like you said earlier. Xu Fei as well as Shi Jun and his mother are all here. We had better go and look for them, bringing them back to the Eight Extremities World with us if possible.”
“However, according to what you have said, having offended two local snakeheads here, might they do something to harm Xu Fei and the others in retaliation?”
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 506: Good thing in the Bewildering Mist Sea
HSSB506: Good thing in the Bewildering Mist Sea
Due to multiple reasons, Fu Enshu had actually been a real demonic troublemaker in her youth, having been Broad Creed Mountain’s disciple who gave the greatest headache to others.
At that time, the person she had feared the most had not been Yuan Zhengfeng who was like a master and a father to her but her eldest apprentice-brother, Shi Tie.
It was in front of the strict and serious Shi Tie that Fu Enshu would rein herself in and behave much more.
However, Fu Enshu had not felt any resentment towards Shi Tie at all. On the contrary, Shi Tie was one of the people she had been closest to in the clan.
Fu Enshu was both respectful and afraid of this eldest apprentice-brother.
When Shi Tie had perished for the clan in the great tribulation of Broad Creed Mountain, Fu Enshu had felt greatly pained as well.
Fu Enshu had always been felt troubled over Xu Fei as well as Shi Jun and his mother who had headed off into the Vast Ocean World earlier.
Having learnt that she and Yan Zhaoge were currently in the Vast Ocean World, Fu Enshu was naturally very concerned about their situation.
Yan Zhaoge said, “You can rest easy, senior apprentice-aunt. These past days, I’ve interacted quite a bit with Vast Ocean World’s martial practitioners and understood more of the situation here.”
“Changli Mountain does not stand at the top of the Seven Pillars of Good, but it is still not an existence to be taken lightly. It strength is not inferior to Spirit Rhino Island or the Evil Shifting Sect.”
Yan Zhaoge said slowly, “Amongst the Seven Pillars of Good, it is Water Crystal Palace that is the strongest. However, the Blood Dragon Sect and the Myriad Sword Pool both have the qualifications to contend with it as well. These three sects stand at the top of the Seven Pillars of Good.”
“Due to not having any Martial Saints or Sacred Artifacts, the other four sects are comparatively weaker. However, they have substantial strength as well as background as well.”
Hearing his words, Fu Enshu nodded, “It is pretty much the same as in our Eight Extremities World.”
Yan Zhaoge continued, “Those three strongest sects, whilst standing against one another, also attempt to draw the other four of Changli Mountain, Spirit Rhino Island, the Spirit Returning Sect as well as the Blazing Wind Sect to their sides as well. While these other four sects remain independent and autonomous, they more or less still individually each lean towards one of these powers as well.”
“Amongst them, Spirit Rhino Island leans towards Myriad Sword Pool, the Blazing Wind Sect leans towards the Blood Dragon Sect while Changli Mountain and the Spirit Returning Sect both lean towards Water Crystal Palace a little.”
“The loose alliance formed by these three sects is the strongest. While the other two sides guard against each other, there is also vaguely the momentum of teaming up to stand three against four. Like this, none of them is able to do anything to another.”
Having said that, Yan Zhaoge spread his hands apart, “Externally, there are still the Six Evil Sects. Therefore, nothing too great usually happens amongst these Seven Pillars of Good. Of course, the Six Evil Sects are also not harmonious internally. Instead, their underlying tensions might be even more intense.”
“I heard earlier that senior apprentice-brother Xu and Little Shi Jun are currently doing rather well in Changli Mountain. When interacting with those of Spirit Rhino Island earlier, I only said that I was going to Changli Mountain. They should not suspect anything about senior apprentice-brother Xu and Shi Jun.”
Yan Zhaoge paused for a moment before continuing, “Still, comparing the martial arts that we use, the other side may be able to see some similarities.”
Fu Enshu said, “If it is the Clear Qi Profound Art, unless it leaves behind visible marks on someone else’s body, it would not be so easy to compare.”
“Other than our clan’s foundational martial arts, of those more profound ones, you do not know the Great Heaven Earth Sword and Xu Fei and Shi Jun also do not know the others that you cultivate in. The only similar one is the Big Dipper Sword.”
Yan Zhaoge recalled for a moment before smiling, “What a coincidence. I used the Big Dipper Sword once, and no one was left alive at the scen
e.”
Fu Enshu waved her hands, “It is fine then.”
Yan Zhaoge said, “Spirit Rhino Island cannot decide anything about Changli Mountain. However, that Yang Chufan and the others seemed to have taken me for someone of the Sacred Evil Sect, also sounding like they had good reason to believe it to be true. I wonder where they got that from.”
“The Sacred Evil Sect is one of the Six Evil Sects. Saying that this is related to the battle between good and evil, Spirit Rhino Island and Myriad Sword Pool would be able to cook up some justification.”
Fu Enshu gazed towards the faraway sea, “No matter what, let’s hurry to Changli Mountain first. You heard just now that the fastest way to Changli Mountain is across the territory of Spirit Rhino Island?”
Yan Zhaoge nodded, “That’s right. The Directionless Sea that Changli Mountain is in is separated from this Bewildering Maze Sea by the Spirit Rhino Sea. If we did not go to the Spirit Rhino Sea, we would have to take a longer route in travelling via the Flying Turtle Sea.”
Fu Enshu’s brows were knit tight, “You said just now that the Chief of Spirit Rhino Island is a Transcending Mortality Martial Grandmaster? If that is so, it would really be hard. The person you killed being his son, he will definitely want to kill you. Now, the entire Spirit Rhino Sea is probably already standing at full guard, being full of Spirit Rhino Island martial practitioners.”
While she was rather headstrong, Fu Enshu could discern the situation as well as the difference in strength between them and the enemy.
Yan Zhaoge smiled, “In truth, I heard that Spirit Rhino Island has two Transcending Mortality Martial Grandmasters. The Chief Fang Kan is ranked seventh amongst the ten strongest Transcending Mortality Martial Grandmasters of this Vast Ocean World.”
Hearing his words, Fu Enshu knit her brows even more tightly.
However, carefully observing Yan Zhaoge’s expression, her heart suddenly jolted, “I only broke through to become a late Essence Talisman Martial Grandmaster not long ago. Within a short period of time, it would be impossible for me to break through into the Transcending Mortality stage. Moreover, I have still yet to make a complete recovery from my injuries, my strength being affected as a result. If you have a method, just say it.”
Yan Zhaoge spread his palms apart, smiling as he said, “To tell you the truth, I currently don’t have too great a plan. However, there might just be one in a couple of days.”
Fu Enshu asked curiously, “You want to break through into the Essence Talisman Martial Grandmaster realm? I know that you are a heaven-defying genius like Yan Di, possessing incredible power at the same cultivation level. Even at these heights, the power you possess still far surpasses that of others. However, would you be able to resist a Transcending Mortality Martial Grandmaster as an early Essence Talisman Martial Grandmaster?”
“Or is it to say that you can make a number of consecutive breakthroughs within a short period of time?”
Yan Zhaoge chortled, “Speaking of this, I really have the people of Spirit Rhino Island to thank. I found a good thing in this Bewildering Maze Sea.”
“However, in order for it to be able to be used, I still have to go to a particular place and make some preparations.”
Yan Zhaoge pointed into the distance, “We are currently headed right in the direction of that place. Rather than going directly to Changli Mountain, we will have to take a little bit of a side trip. However, sharpening your blade does not hinder one in chopping firewood. Moving a little off-tangent now, the way for us later on will be straight and clear.”
Fu Enshu’s gaze flickered, “Oh? What place?”
Yan Zhaoge answered, “The area where the Spirit Rhino Sea, the Flying Turtle Sea and the Bewildering Maze Sea intersect. It is known as the Deep Sea Corridor.”
“I asked around from some Vast Ocean World martial practitioners on this Bewildering Maze Sea. There is something that I want there, which can be considered an unexpected surprise.”
Fu Enshu said, “Let’s get to it then. Let’s make haste.”
The two were currently already rather close to the Deep Sea Corridor. As they rapidly progressed, calculating the distance, Yan Zhaoge felt that it should be nearby.
“Let’s go,” Saying thus, Yan Zhaoge dived into the sea.
Fu Enshu naturally followed Yan Zhaoge’s lead.
Diving downwards, they could soon vaguely see an oceanic trench right at the bottom of the sea.
There, turbid flows of water converged from three different directions.
“Huh?” Yan Zhaoge and Fu Enshu exchanged glances as they discovered that other than the two of them, there were currently many other martial practitioners congregated here as well.
Amongst them were some Spirit Rhino Island martial practitioners. Their cultivation bases were not very high, such that it would be impossible for them to surround and capture Yan Zhaoge on their own.
Other than Spirit Rhino Island martial practitioners, there were also people of other sects.
Having congregated at this place, they seemed all to have gathered here for some important matter.
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 507: What I want to do is not something that they can prevent
HSSB507: What I want to do is not something that they can prevent
The Deep Sea Corridor, located where the Spirit Rhino Sea, the Flying Turtle Sea and the Bewildering Maze Sea intersected.
Three completely independent tidal currents swept along the strange miasma of the deep sea, converging at this spot as polluted undercurrents were formed.
The Vast Ocean World was formed of limited islands and numerous oceans.
There were also places elsewhere in the Vast Ocean World where three different seas intersected. However, these polluted undercurrents were unique to this area where the Spirit Rhino, Flying Turtle and Bewildering Maze seas intersected as it could not be found elsewhere.
It was just that these polluted undercurrents were filthy beyond compare, being completely detrimental and in no way beneficial to martial practitioners at all. It was such that most of the time, even if martial practitioners dived into the sea, they would also be unwilling to come near this place.
With so many people currently congregated here, Yan Zhaoge felt rather surprised, “Could the rumours be false?”
The polluted undercurrents formed a massive whirlpool. At the centre of the whirlpool, there was no seawater, a great stretch of empty land instead being present.
They were currently discussing something animatedly on this piece of empty land.
“Heh, Li Sheng finally couldn’t hold it in and decided to challenge Zhang Haocheng. A battle between the top two of the top ten Essence Spirit experts-this is something which has not been seen in a long time.”
“The largest powers of Good and Evil, Water Crystal Palace and the Dragon Slayer Sect, are finally going to meet head-to-head. I wonder if Blue Dragon Zhang Haocheng is rightfully deserving of his number one position or if the second placed Heaven Slaying Pillar Li Sheng is superior to him?”
“Don’t underestimate Li Sheng. While he is a vicious killer, he is not a rash person. In having challenged Zhang Haocheng this time, perhaps he has reached that final bottleneck and wishes to make use of this to break through into the Essence Talisman Martial Grandmaster realm.”
“Just based on his nine leaves blossoming nine flowers alone, who would dare to underestimate him?”
Hearing their words, Yan Zhaoge gradually realised the situation. It seemed like a battle had been set to take place here.
The two upcoming combatants were the current two peak Essence Spirit Martial Grandmasters of the Vast Ocean World.
Just like how Water Crystal Palace was the strongest amongst the Seven Pillars of Good, the Dragon Slaying Sect was also generally regarded as the number one amongst the Six Evil Sects.
This sect’s name simultaneously offended both Water Crystal Palace and the Blood Dragon Sect, the relationship between them being
like that of sworn enemies.
On the list of the top ten experts, there would inevitably be some who had been ranked whilst not having clashed with the others before. Their rankings were determined by their past battle records as well as the strength they had previously exhibited in battle.
This was definitely someone being unhappy with the ranking he had been given.
Having actually clashed in battle with another before, the losing side would already be unhappy, painstakingly training for many long years in order to wash away their previous humiliation, let alone having been placed below someone else without even having clashed with that person before. How many martial practitioners would be able to tolerate that?
A fierce battle between a dragon and a tiger was about to unfold.
Yan Zhaoge blinked, not being much concerned as he just felt it to be interesting, “That Jiang Xiong of the Evil Shifting Sect whom I killed seems to have been ranked third, right?”
He smiled, shaking his head as he traversed the whirlpool and arrived in the air above the empty stretch of land.
“This side is the Spirit Rhino Sea, and that side is the Flying Turtle Sea, both being the domain of Good. That Li Sheng is really rather courageous, actually daring to arrange for a battle here.”
“Behind us is the Bewildering Maze Sea. If an Essence Talisman Martial Grandmaster wants to kill him, he can just retreat into the Bewildering Maze Sea a little. Also, the Dragon Slayer Sect will definitely send experts over as well.”
“The cause of this matter was a young disciple of the Dragon Slayer Sect getting into a conflict with a young disciple of Water Crystal Palace here, having suffered a bit of a loss. Knowing that Zhang Haocheng was here, Li Sheng immediately came over to find back face for their sect.”
As they conversed, they noticed Yan Zhaoge and Fu Enshu’s arrival.
At first, they did not pay them too much attention. After all, there were many solitary practitioners, and no one would be able to remember all of them clearly.
