However, thinking carefully, a bunch of people somehow found Yan Zhaoge to be somewhat familiar.
Especially some Spirit Rhino Island martial practitioners who now abruptly stared at him, “It’s you?”
An image of Yan Zhaoge had been preserved by those who had returned to Spirit Rhino Island previously. Having lost all news of Fang Zhaohong, Yang Chufan and the others afterwards, the people of Spirit Rhino Island felt that something bad had most likely happened to them.
These past days, Spirit Rhino Island had been searching everywhere for Yan Zhaoge, keeping up full vigilance on the Spirit Rhino Sea. Seeing Yan Zhaoge now, they instantly recognised him.
Seeing the reactions of the Spirit Rhino Island martial practitioners, the others all began reacting as well, “Could it be that person who killed Dark Evil Jiang Xiong?!”
Hearing their words, Yan Zhaoge’s expression remained leisurely as he just glanced at those of Spirit Rhino Island, looking like he was smiling whilst also not.
They indeed didn’t intend to keep things secret, having released the news of him having slaughtered the people of the Evil Shifting Sect. Those of the Evil Shifting Sect were probably beginning to search for him as well.
As for the matter of Fang Zhaohong and the others, in order to not throw away their face, they had not yet announced this matter. After all, not having seen their dead bodies, Spirit Rhino Island still harboured a bit of hope.
Seeing the calm expression on Yan Zhaoge’s face, the others here instantly lost their calmness.
That was ‘Dark Evil’ Jiang Xiong, very possibly the one Essence Spirit Martial Grandmaster of the Vast Ocean World inferior only to the ‘Blue Dragon’ Zhang Haocheng and the ‘Heaven Slaying Pillar’ Li Sheng.
The Evil Shifting Sect not possessing a Martial Saint or a Sacred Artifact, their power was inferior to the Dragon Slayer Sect, the Sacred Evil Sect and Soul Shocking Island of the Six Evil Sects as well as Water Crystal Palace, Myriad Sword Pool and the Blood Dragon Sect of the Seven Pillars of Good.
However, ‘Dark Evil’ Jiang Xiong had been able to attain the third ranked position amongst the top ten Essence Spirit Martial Grandmasters.
Also, he had been extremely young, still possessing immense potential to be excavated, the entire Evil Shifting Sect having had great hopes for him.
However, just an expert of the senior generation like this, as in the news spread by Spirit Rhino Island, had fallen by the hands of a young man.
How could the Evil Shifting Sect not tear their hair out at this, the entire Vast Ocean World having to pay attention?
What especially caused everyone’s hearts to feel cold was that according to Spirit Rhino Island, this young man was a descendant of the Sacred Evil Sect.
Of the Seven Pillars of Good and the Six Evil Sects, it was the Sacred Evil Sect that was the most mysterious, possessing the fewest people. However, every time one of their number surfaced in the world, it would always be a heaven-shocking, earth-shaking figure.
The Chief of the Sacred Evil Sect was one of the few Martial Saints of the Vast Ocean World, being especially mysterious amongst them.
The Spirit Rhino Island martial practitioners stared at each other, all feeling greatly troubled.
One of them secretly sent a sound transmission to those of the other sects, “He is likely the new Sacred Son of the Sacred Evil Sect! Good and evil are diametrically opposed; let’s join forces to slay him!”
“He already possesses such a powerful cultivation base at such a young age that truly seems unprecedented. Even the Evil Saint must have been inferior to him. If we let him grow, it would be disastrous for us in the future!”
Due to the geographical position of this place, aside from the Spirit Rhino Island martial practitioners, it was the Spirit Returning Sect which ruled the Flying Turtle Sea that had the most people here.
A Spirit Returning Sect martial practitioner frowned as he looked at Yan Zhaoge, “Are you sure that what he used was the Blood Ghost Heavenly Talisman?”
The Spirit Rhino Island martial practitioners said urgently, “The barrier is already gone, but it is definitely true. Also, while the Blood Ghost Heavenly Talismans are limited, with his cultivation base making it such that his position in the Sacred Evil Sect is sure to be inferior only to the Evil Saint’s, he definitely still has more Blood Ghost Heavenly Talismans on him.”
The person of the Spirit Returning Sect smiled bitterly, “We only came here to watch the commotion. We have no way to take him down.”
He glanced at Fu Enshu from the corner of his eye, “Moreover, that person beside him….”
The Spirit Rhino Island martial practitioners said, “Shortly, people from Water Crystal Palace will definitely be coming over to support Zhang Haocheng. While those of the Dragon Slayer Sect might come as well, they will most likely stay out of things. We have already sent word back, and the Island Chief is hurrying over now. You contact the experts of your sect as well, and be careful of this person scurrying back into the Bewildering Maze Sea to hide.”
Hearing that the Chief of Spirit Rhino Island, Fang Kan, was personally on his way, the expression on the face of this Spirit Returning Sect martial practitioner changed slightly as he began considering in earnest.
Their eye contact had all fallen within the eyes of Yan Zhaoge and Fu Enshu as the latter asked mildly, “Clear up the area?”
Yan Zhaoge shrugged, “No need. There will still be people of Water Crystal Palace and the Dragon Slayer Sect arriving shortly anyway.”
“Meanwhile, what I want to do is not something that they can prevent. It makes no difference whether we chase them away or let them stay.”

HSSB508: Yan Zhaoge churns the sea, turning degenerate into miraculous
Fu Enshu looked first at the polluted undercurrents in the surroundings and then at Yan Zhaoge, not understanding what he wanted to do.
Yan Zhaoge smiled before he flew up, nearing the polluted undercurrents.
Extending his palm forward, numerous streams of true essence agglomerated, coming together to form a massive vortex.
Enveloped by this vortex, the Earth Devouring Burner entered within the polluted undercurrents which were instantly shaken slightly.
Yan Zhaoge had not simply extended his true essence into the polluted undercurrents just like that. Instead, he was moving the Earth Devouring Burner in a unique rhythm.
Accompanied by his movements, the frequency of the shaking of the polluted undercurrents gradually turned from completely random to predictable, nearing the frequency at which Yan Zhaoge was moving the Earth Devouring Burner.
Seeing this, the surrounding Vast Ocean World martial practitioners were all shocked, “How is he able to control the polluted undercurrents?”
At the same time that they were shocked, they also felt baffled, “What exactly is this person doing?”
Due to Yan Zhaoge’s mighty feat of having killed ‘Dark Evil’ Jiang Xiong, no one here dared to approach him now, just watching on uncomprehendingly by the side.
Looking first at Yan Zhaoge and then at Fu Enshu, the Spirit Rhino Island martial practitioners similarly didn’t dare to speak, even secretly shifting backwards as they attempted to leave this place.
Fu Enshu’s cultivation base was just so much higher than theirs. Even while she was injured, the Vast Ocean World martial practitioners present could not properly determine her actual cultivation base.
However, with her not having concealed her aura, they were more or less able to determine that she was at least already an Essence Talisman Martial Grandmaster.
Looking at Fu Enshu, the Spirit Rhino Island martial practitioners felt like they seemed to have found the reason for Fang Zhaohong not having returned from his journeying.
They wanted to leave, yet were curious about Yan Zhaoge’s current actions as well.
Looking caref
ully, they saw that as the numerous polluted undercurrents were disturbed by Yan Zhaoge, the massive whirlpool that they formed was growing more and more unstable, shaking intensely within the sea as it was like a tall building seemingly about to topple.
The surrounding seawater was also roiling unceasingly, undercurrents surging beneath the sea’s surface while waves similarly surged above it.
From outside of the sea, observing from a high vantage point, one would be able to see the intersecting area of the three seas which had already not been calm originally overcome by tides as turbid waves surged up to the heavens.
Beneath the sea’s surface, Yan Zhaoge’s expression was calm but his gaze extremely focused as he carefully observed the changes in the polluted undercurrents before him whilst thinking on the special technique that he was currently employing.
His true essence swept along the Earth Devouring Burner, constantly entering and exiting the polluted undercurrents.
This object remained extremely mysterious even now, with Yan Zhaoge still unable to wield it actively.
Accompanied by Yan Zhaoge’s increase in cultivation base, he had constantly been analysing this treasure. This current treasure on hand was very likely incomplete, actually being a fragment of a complete treasure which had broke apart.
Yet, this Earth Devouring Burner was still miraculous, always able to unleash that strange, powerful suction force whenever it had been targeted by some kind of force.
Objects were dead, humans alive and thinking. While the Earth Devouring Burner could only work passively for Yan Zhaoge, Yan Zhaoge had always been attempting to successfully wield it actively.
The polluted undercurrents intermingled, unceasingly slamming into people or objects that entered within.
Having entered within, the Earth Devouring Burner would be assaulted by the polluted undercurrents. Because of that, the power of the polluted undercurrents would be devoured by the Earth Devouring Burner in kind.
After having sent the Earth Devouring Burner in for a moment, Yan Zhaoge would immediately withdraw it before sending it in once again.
Having already been unstable originally, the polluted undercurrents unceasingly changed in being strong and weak.
Gradually, through the frequency at which he controlled the Earth Devouring Burner to enter, Yan Zhaoge began grasping the frequency at which the polluted undercurrents rose and fell in strength.
Yan Zhaoge remained patient, maintaining these actions.
As time passed, the changes in the polluted undercurrents changed from only encompassing the small area before him to gradually expanding to envelop the entire vast region of sea around him, till finally all of the polluted undercurrents in the region were experiencing the same changes as well.
Seeing this from the side, Fu Enshu’s gaze flickered slightly, “The hidden undercurrents of the three seas are all congregated here, pushing against and pressuring one another as they merge together to form these polluted undercurrents.”
“Wanting to change the natural rhythm of things here, just based on strength alone, one would have to rely on multiple times the effort to achieve limited effect. With the unique rhythm in Zhaoge’s actions, it has become such that he has achieved multiple times the effect with limted effort.”
“The rhythm of all these polluted undercurrents here has already changed. It is just-these changes, this current rhythm, what effect will they have?”
As Fu Enshu was considering this, the world before her suddenly lit up.
At the bottom of the polluted whirlpool formed where the hidden undercurrents of the three seas converged, the area was actually gradually brightening with light.
That glow was gentle and not intense, bright yet not dazzling, causing one to instead feel a sense of peace and joy upon seeing it.
Gradually, small water droplets that resembled rain were formed amidst this gentle glow, unceasingly landing within the surrounding seawater yet not merging with it. They appeared exceptionally distinct, resembling oil that had been dripped into water.
Those rain-like water droplets were clear and bright, cold yet gentle. While they were small, they appeared exceptionally dazzling within the dim water.
Discovering these strange changes, the nearby Vast Ocean World martial practitioners all felt greatly bemused.
Some closed their eyes, carefully feeling the spiritual qi contained within those water droplets.
As they sniffed, they could even smell a fragrance that left their mind clear and their spirits relaxed.
They all exchanged looks, only able to feel that not just the whirlpool formed of polluted undercurrents up above, even the untainted water in the surroundings appeared unclean when placed before these water droplets.
These water droplets seemed like the purest, cleanest existences in this world. Before them, other flows of water all appeared turbid and dirty in comparison.
Fu Enshu was taken aback, “Sweet Pouring Raindrops?”
Yan Zhaoge smiled, “It is still much inferior to true Sweet Pouring Raindrops, but with the current conditions at hand, it can already be considered rather good.”
Fu Enshu looked at those clear, clean water droplets, clicking her tongue in wonder.
Sweet Pouring Raindrops were a treasure of before the Great Calamity. Fu Enshu did not know whether it still existed elsewhere after the Great Calamity, but it definitely did not exist in the Eight Extremities World at the very least. It remained as an object of yore recorded within ancient texts.
The purest Sweet Pouring Raindrops of the rumours were the bane of filthy and evil objects, able to cleanse all evil and filth under the heavens, even having suppressive effects on Nine Underworld Evil Devils.
Other than that, the rumoured Sweet Pouring Raindrops possessed other unique and wonderful effects as well that others would only praise.
It was just that Fu Enshu had not thought that she would actually see some in this place today.
Yan Zhaoge smiled, “Even before the Great Calamity, Sweet Pouring Raindrops were already extremely rare. With many wolves yet limited meat, what was there that could be done? Some expert analysed and created a method of turning degenerate into miraculous, birthing cleanness from filth. While creating Sweet Pouring Raindrops from these polluted undercurrents is still lacking in comparison, it can still be considered a major accomplishment.”
“Having heard of it earlier, I had just thought of it as a curious oddity, not taking it to heart. After all, not just Sweet Pouring Raindrops, even polluted undercurrents were something that I couldn’t have found.”
“I had not thought that there would actually exist polluted undercurrents in a single spot of this Vast Ocean World. Having heard this news over in the Bewildering Maze Sea, I immediately rushed over here.”
Amidst his words, those Sweet Pouring Raindrops were constantly increasing, agglomerating unceasingly, condensed and not dispersing for a long time, till finally they actually formed a clear, thin current at the bottom of the sea.
Looking at that clear current of water that resembled a white line across the bottom of the sea, Fu Enshu sighed in praise even as she asked, “Still, what are you preparing to use this for?”
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 509: The upright Yan Zhaoge
HSSB509: The upright Yan Zhaoge
Yan Zhaoge was similarly gazing at that clear, clean current of water.
Hearing Fu Enshu’s question, he smiled, “For the thing that I obtained in the Bewildering Maze Sea to quickly take effect, these Sweet Pouring Raindrops will have to come into play.”
As he said this, Yan Zhaoge’s actions continued as he was still unceasingly churning up the undercurrents at the depth of the sea.
Finally, the pollution gradually faded, the undercurrents where the three seas intersected directly merging to form a whirlpool that emitted a faint lustre.
At the bottom of the whirlpool, the Sweet Pouring Raindrops formed a trickling water current which flowed peacefully in
the depths of the sea, extending into the distance.
Even as Yan Zhaoge kept the Earth Devouring Burner and no longer disturbed the sea, this flow of water still continued flowing off into the distance.
Looking at this vein of water formed of Sweet Devouring Raindrops, Fu Enshu’s heart jolted slightly, “The flow of this water vein seems to travel precisely along the border between the Spirit Rhino Sea and the Flying Turtle Sea?”
She looked at first the Spirit Rhino Island martial practitioners and then the Spirit Returning Sect martial practitioners before asking Yan Zhaoge, “Bad kid, you’re scheming against others again?”
Yan Zhaoge said solemnly, “What do you mean, senior apprentice-aunt Fu? After I have finished using this water vein which I currently have need of, with it being formed due to the local environment, it is not like I can take it away with me. Leaving it here can also be considered doing good for this world, not having come to this Vast Ocean World for nothing.”
As Fu Enshu squinted at him suspiciously, Yan Zhaoge chuckled, “Saying that I am a descendant of some Sacred Evil Sect. All those of Spirit Rhino Island can do is merely claim it.”
“This water vein, however, is physically located right here. Would the Spirit Returning Sect give it up to Spirit Rhino Island?”
Yan Zhaoge said, “As I know, the main artifact forging technique of the Vast Ocean World is the Essence Copper Quenching Fire Technique. The Sweet Pouring Raindrops would be very beneficial to this.”
“However, the water vein formed from the intersection of the three seas cannot be split. Also, wanting to individually obtain water from it, some special equipment would be required. Otherwise, it cannot be brought away. I heard earlier that the Vast Ocean World does not have such a thing.”
“If people want to use it, they will only be able to do so by coming physically here.”
Fu Enshu frowned slightly, “The two sects can come to an agreement and share this water vein.”
“Instead, as you say, these Sweet Pouring Raindrops might enhance the level of Spirit Rhino Island’s and the Spirit Returning Sect’s artifacts, causing them to grow gradually stronger. This would instead be greatly beneficial to Spirit Rhino Island.”
