  Coming before Feng Yunsheng, Yan Zhaoge looked downwards at that black sabre of hers and felt the concept within before he slowly shook his head, “From the looks of it, that treasure containing the Rahu’s power of eclipse was destroyed in a tribulation, yet was not extinguished. It only lost its current form with its aura having scattered all around.”

  “This sabre was born from the remnant shell of the Sacred Artifact of the Rahu Star. While its power turned weak, its foundations still remain as it can affect the remnant aura left behind by that Sacred Artifact.”

  Yan Zhaoge smiled, “With the help of this sabre, absorbing the power of corrosion that was scattered and refining it once more with the Dim Glorious Devilish Qi, perhaps there is a chance of restoring what was once lost.”

  Feng Yunsheng sat there unmoving, silently circulating her profound art to refine the power of cold sun that had been absorbed into her body.

  Looking at the sabre she was holding, she sighed, “Something like the Extreme Yang Seal and the Extreme Yin Crown? Rahu…Sabre?”

  Yan Zhaoge said, “Perhaps that was its name in the past. Still, following that past tribulation as well as its refinement of the power of cold sun today, it has already been reborn twice. It probably won’t be very happy still being called the Rahu Sabre.”

  Feng Yunsheng remained unmoving in a seating position as she lightly brandished the black sabre that flickered with a dim-blue lustre, “That is true. I’ll call it ‘Cold Sun’ from now on then.”

  “Cold Sun Divine Sabre?” Yan Zhaoge smiled, “That’s pretty good.”

  Feng Yunsheng smiled, “Is there a trademark on the word ‘Divine’?”

  Yan Zhaoge waved his hands, “For some reason, this sabre faced a tribulation that year and became somewhat miraculous following its rebirth. If it continues growing, the Rahu Sabre of its previous life might even be incomparable to it. Even I am anticipating seeing its future growth somewhat.”

  Looking at the Cold Sun Divine Sabre she was holding, Feng Yunsheng suddenly smiled, “The Radiant Light Sect now has something else they will pay attention to.”

  Yan Zhaoge said, “They can’t just ignore it. This sabre is precisely that bane of that Nong Yuxuan.”

  At this point, Yan Zhaoge raised his brows slightly, “That guy has probably already collected most of the remnant Dim Glorious Devilish Qi that scattered from the Rahu Sabre that year. It is only a matter of time, with him only having currently refined a small portion of it.”

  Feng Yunsheng pondered as she said, “That is why his cultivation deviation was so serious this time. It wasn’t only the Dim Glorious Devilish Qi he refined from which he suffered a backlash. Even some power of corrosion that he had still yet to refine wreaked havoc within him.”

  Yan Zhaoge nodded, “That’s right, it is precisely so.”

  He stroked his lower chin, “In having urgently come to the World beyond Worlds before waiting for the recovery of the Extreme Yang Seal this time, a considerable part of it was in order to prevent the Rahu Sabre, or rather a large amount of its power from falling under the Radiant Light Sect’s grasp.”

  “From the looks of it now, that worry was indeed not unfounded. While the Rahu Sabre has collapsed, most of its power is currently in the hands of Nong Yuxuan.”

  “If he is given sufficient time and refines most of that power, he should be able to suppress and control it at the very least. It wouldn’t be so easy for the Cold Sun Divine Sabre to counter him then.”

  Yan Zhaoge smiled, “Now, there is still a chance.”

  Feng Yunsheng said, “He will be very careful next time. Us having exposed our tracks here, the Radiant Light Sect will definitely try to capture us on a large scale following this. This is the World beyond Worlds where the experts are as numerous as the clouds. Even with the Grand Xuan Dynasty and the Dim Darkness Sect drawing their attention, the Radiant Light Sect should still be able to dispatch many experts over.”

  “Let them get through this wave of counterattacks by the Grand Xuan Dynasty first,” Yan Zhaoge said.

  Before this, the Radiant Light Sect, the Dim Darkness Sect, the North Sea Sword Pavilion and the Copper Men Island had joined hands, rising up in revolt against the Grand Xuan Dynasty together. With their numerous experts, the Grand Xuan Dynasty had only been able to stay on the defensive amidst an unstable reign where massive upheaval seemed set to come to their world.

  Now, however, Shen Lingzi’s lineage had suddenly remerged, shocking the entire Royal Reed Sea.

  Of those who had revealed themselves in this battle, there were already two experts of the seventh level of the Martial Saint realm, they who had already ascended the Immortal Bridge!

  The one who had seemed young yet had an old gaze as he had attacked the main altar of the Dim Darkness Sect was the first.

  The one who had an old appearance but a young gaze as he had been battling against the Chief of the Radiant Light Sect Luo Zhitao earlier was the second.

  If not for Luo Zhitao having brought along his sect’s top treasure, the high-grade Sacred Artifact known as the Sun Moon Wheels, he might have perished beneath that old man’s sword earlier.

  Such experts having surfaced within this world, the Grand Xuan Dynasty had instantly overcome their previous deficient momentum. After this, they would definitely be launching a counterattack.

  They had attacked the Dim Darkness Sect first because it was concealed and hard to find. If they did not attack during the Dim Sun Cold Moon Ritual, there would really not be a better time for it at all.

  Following this battle, the Radiant Light Sect, the North Sea Sword Pavilion and the Copper Men Island all had chances of becoming the next attack target of the Grand Xuan Dynasty.

  Unlike the main altar of the Dim Darkness Sect, the headquarters of the Radiant Light Sect were laid out right there for all to see.

  Ah Hu exited his meditation now as he looked at Yan Zhaoge, “Young Master, that Shen Lingzi’s lineage really is a little too loyal. They helped King Xuanwen to sweep through his heavens back then, the Grand Xuan attaining an empire with that and leaving it nothing of their business. Now that the Grand Xuan Dynasty’s rule is unstable, they have no thoughts of replacing them as they are still helping King Xuanwen’s descendants.”

  Yan Zhaoge’s gaze was rather deep and distant, “Either they are indeed loyal or they have some other goal, their aspirations lying elsewhere.”

  Others might not be able to tell, but with just a single glance at the Time Flowing Sword, Yan Zhaoge had been able to see through its background.

  If one said that Kang Jinyuan’s sword dao was still insufficient, he could already be certain of it from looking at the martial arts of the old man who had been battling Luo Zhitao.

  That was a martial art derived from the concept of the direct lineage Aeon Light Heavenly Scripture.

  Like the Peerless Heavenly Scripture, the Cyclic Heavenly Scripture and the Life Creation Heavenly Scripture, it was another of the ultimate martial arts amongst the Primordial Heavenly Scriptures.

  The Five Fires True Art and Seven Fowl Treasured Spear of the Grand Xuan Dynasty could only be considered as having been born from the side. The Aeon Light Heavenly Scripture, however, was truly born of the pure Jade Clear Lineage.

  HSSB645: Going about it another way

  While it was unknown how Shen Lingzi and his descendants had obtained some of the true intent of the Aeon Light Heavenly Scripture, their Time Flowing Sword did indeed originate from it.

  When having detected in the Floating Life World that it was a partial legacy of the Life Creation Heavenly Scripture that his mother had taught to the Chief of the Snow Crane Sect, Su Yun, Yan Zhaoge had known that they should be other direct lineage martial arts of the Jade Clear lineage in the World beyond Worlds.

  Still, he had not expected that he would meet people like this so soon after having come to the World beyond Worlds
.

  Could the other party be related to Xue Chuqing?

  “The Heavenly Court’s Martial Repository only stored four of the ten Primordial Heavenly Scriptures, and the Aeon Light Heavenly Scripture was not amongst them. Who would have thought that I would actually see a descendant of the Aeon Light Heavenly Scripture in post-Great Calamity times.”

  Yan Zhaoge pondered, “Of those beneath the tutelage of the Lord of Primordial Beginning, the founder of the Jade Clear Sect, it was True Immortal Taiyi who was most proficient in the Aeon Light Heavenly Scripture.”

  “Still, it is unknown whether Shen Lingzi’s lineage received the direct legacy of True Immortal Taiyi or some other legendary figure. Was it someone who fortunately survived the Great Calamity or someone who inadvertently received its teachings following a fortuitous encounter?”

  While Yan Zhaoge had not comprehended the Aeon Light Heavenly Scripture before, the Taiyi Impreial Breaking Formation that he grasped was also of True Immortal Taiyi’s direct lineage.

  Seeing the legacy of the Aeon Light Heavenly Scripture now, he could not help but feel more interested in it.

  Of course, Yan Zhaoge was still more concerned about how Shen Lingzi’s lineage having reappeared in the Royal Reed Sea might possibly affect him in his trip to the World beyond Worlds this time.

  Having killed a general of the Grand Xuan Dynasty, the relationship between them was already bad. Having been too close with the Dim Darkness Sect, he could definitely be suspected as a fellow rebel.

  With the Dim Darkness Sect’s main altar as the centre, the massive battle that had erupted between the Grand Xuan Dynasty and the anti-Xuan forces swept through all under the heavens, things growing increasingly intense.

  At its peak, almost half of the entire Royal Reed Sea was affected by it.

  Not only were the peak experts who consisted of King Xuanmu, Luo Zhitao and Zhou Haosheng and several others battling it out.

  The experts of a slightly lower level were battling as well.

  Of the anti-Xuan coalition, there were mainly the Dim Darkness Sect martial practitioners. Not only at the Flourishing Peace Region where Yan Zhaoge and the others currently were, all the great branch altars of the Dim Darkness Sect were currently under attack by the Grand Xuan Dynasty as well, blazing flames littering the ground.

  Around the Dim Darkness Sect’s main altar, those martial practitioners with comparatively lower cultivation bases had moved to the outskirts such that they would not be affected by the aftershocks of the battles between King Xuanmu, Zhou Haosheng and the others.

  The Grand Xuan Dynasty had come in fiercely this time as the Dim Darkness Sect ended up at a disadvantage. Its disciples tried to flee, yet were unceasingly pursued by Grand Xuan experts.

  While Yan Zhaoge had led the Myriad Dragon Palace into the great sea, all was not calm within the sea as well as it was often affected by power fluctuations from the ongoing battles between experts.

  Having been baptised by the power of reversed sun and moon, Yan Zhaoge’s group circulated their profound arts as they refined the power of cold sun and dim moon that had entered their bodies.

  Yan Zhaoge remained within the palace. While he did not emerge, he was not unaware of the things that were going on outside.

  He had the Northern Ocean Clone outside scouting for him.

  While the information might be a little delayed, not being timely, as time passed, there would also be more and more accurate news obtained.

  Just a few days earlier, the great battle of the Dim Darkness Sect’s main altar had come to an end.

  Following the arrival of the Lord of the North Sea Sword Pavilion Gu Hong and the Chief of the Radiant Light Sect Luo Zhitao, the Chief of Copper Men Island, Gong Sunming, had arrived as well.

  In the major battle that had erupted at the Dim Darkness Sect’s main altar, the altar had directly been destroyed.

  Those two experts of the seventh level of the Martial Saint realm aside, the high-grade Sacred Artifact that had accompanied Shen Lingzi himself as he had swept domineeringly through the Royal Reed Sea, the Heaven Rotating Light Sword, had also reappeared within this world.

  Adding on the Grand Xuan Dynasty’s high-grade Sacred Artifact, the Xuan King Spear, this battle had ultimately ended in victory for their side.

  The Dim Darkness Sect martial practitioners with Zhou Haosheng at their head were forced to abandon their main altar and retreat in order to preserve most of their remaining strength.

  With the various branch altars of the Dim Darkness Sect having been swept through by the Grand Xuan Dynasty as well, all having been destroyed, the Dim Darkness Sect had suffered a huge blow to its vitality in this battle.

  The victorious Grand Xuan Dynasty utterly embarked on their counterattack with high morale, capitalising on their momentum as they set the North Sea Sword Pavilion as their next target.

  “It is a wise choice not to attack the Radiant Light Sect first,” Yan Zhaoge curled his lips at the news, “While the Radiant Light Sect should probably not act lightly with the current situation being so disadvantageous, perhaps they might change their minds and try to devour the weakened Dim Darkness Sect instead.”

  There had formerly been four prominent powers within the Royal Reed Sea following the coming of the Grand Xuan Dynasty that had retained their autonomy and independence. They were the Radiant Light Sect, the Dim Darkness Sect, the North Sea Sword Pavilion and Copper Men Island.

  The Dim Darkness Sect had currently suffered a great blow to its vitality. Not selecting the Radiant Light Sect as the next target, it would naturally be the North Sea Sword Pavilion or Copper Men Island that the Grand Xuan Dynasty would next set its sights on.

  The situation of Copper Men Island was unique. There was a supreme treasure on the island, three mysterious copper men whose origins were unknown.

  As long as they remained on the island, these three copper men could unleash the strength of experts of the seventh level of the Martial Saint realm, the early Immortal Bridge stage. Coupled with Copper Men Island’s guardian grand formation, the island thus had the reputation of an insurmountable fortress.

  Therefore, even while there were no high-grade Sacred Artifacts on Copper Men Island, with its Chief and number one expert, the ‘Copper Man Saint’ Gong Sunming, still having yet to attain the Immortal Bridge stage, Copper Men Island was still publicly renowned as the power that possessed the greatest defensive power from its geographical foundations in the Royal Reed Sea.

  Still, once they had emerged from beneath the protection of the three copper men on the island, the strength of those of Copper Men Island was comparatively weaker than those other great powers.

  It was a little like they had more than sufficient defences, yet had far from sufficient offence.

  Bar any unexpected circumstances, the Grand Xuan Dynasty would definitely save Copper Men Island for the last.

  Therefore, the North Sea Sword Pavilion would have been the only real choice available to them.

  After King Xuanwen had died, with the descendants of Shen Lingzi’s lineage still yet to reappear within this world, Pavilion Lord Gu Hong of the North Sea Sword Pavilion had been the Royal Reed Sea’s sole Immortal Bridge Martial Saint, vaguely possessing the momentum of the number one expert as he had also been in the forefront of the anti-Xuan campaign.

  Now that Shen Lingzi’s lineage had appeared in this world once more, with the power of the Grand Xuan Dynasty having been boosted greatly, they had come to gun for the North Sea Sword Pavilion.

  Yan Zhaoge smacked his lips, “The Dim Darkness Sect might join with the North Sea Sword Pavilion. It is just unknown if the other two powers will go and hide now that the Grand Xuan is strong again.”

  “If they want to bring the Grand Xuan down no matter what, a major battle might be coming again at the North Sea Sword Pavilion?”

  “A pity that the Northern Ocean Clone isn’t in a convenient situation to look for information now. I can only personally d
o it on my own.”

  As he pondered, Yan Zhaoge kept the Myriad Dragon Palace and flew out of the sea. After getting his bearings, he headed north.

  After having left the Dim Darkness Sect’s main altar previously, they had drifted alongside the hidden undercurrents of the sea, drifting towards the north.

  Now, they were already close to the northern regions of the Royal Reed Sea, not far off from the North Sea Sword Pavilion’s reign of influence.

  As he had predicted earlier, people of the Radiant Light Sect and the Grand Xuan Dynasty were both searching for his whereabouts, their surveillance networks covering the heavens and the earth.

  Of course, they spent more of their attention on the current global situation in the Royal Reed Sea. Even so, however, their efforts and the experts they had dispatched to capture Yan Zhaoge were not little at all.

  Never would they have thought that Yan Zhaoge would actually have gone about it another way, not hiding in other more obscure places as he had instead come to the domain under the jurisdiction of the North Sea Sword Pavilion where a storm seemed like it was slowly brewing.

  This resulted in it being a rather smooth journey for Yan Zhaoge.

  After leaving the sea’s interior, Yan Zhaoge walked as he looked. Feeling the power fluctuations of martial practitioners seemingly emanating over from the distance, a hint of a smile was revealed on his face as he walked atop the water, heading over in that direction.

  As Yan Zhaoge was headed north, he indistinctly saw a small island in the horizon. Smoke arose from the small island, shooting straight up into the sky.

  Carefully gazing over, there were blazing flames that visibly enveloped the island, dyeing the surrounding sky completely crimson.

  Arriving nearby, concealed amidst the clouds, Yan Zhaoge saw numerous figures on the island, many of the martial practitioners being equipped with armour.

  Judging by the armour and helmets, they were precisely troops of the Grand Xuan Dynasty.
