  Chen Zhiliang’s gaze flickered, “It is unknown whether it is the power of the Rahu Star of the eclipse or that of the concealed Ketu Star. Still, that Yan Zhaoge bears the Extreme Yang Seal. It might be that this sabre is related to the opposing star of the Sun Star, the Rahu Star of the eclipse…”

  Yet, the Rahu Sabre was rumoured to have been destroyed many long years ago.

  Thinking of this, Chen Zhiliang found it somewhat hard to determine.

  “That Radiant Light Sect possesses the Extreme Yin Crown. Might this also be related to the Eight Extremities World?” Chen Zhiliang felt shocked, “Within this Eight Extremities World are actually concealed crouching tigers and hidden dragons to such an extent?”

  He composed himself, feeling increasingly solemn as he looked again at Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di.

  Yan Zhaoge was actually also looking at his father as he asked via sound transmission, “I heard Grand Master say that he obtained the Life Creation Heavenly Scripture of the Jade Clear lineage in the Floating Gate World. From the looks of it, you should have cultivated in it as well?”

  When Yan Di had fought with King Xuanmu earlier, the spiritual qi of the latter’s mid-grade Sacred Artifact, the Immortal Talisman Embroidered Robe, had manifested as innumerable spirit talismans.

  The Immortal Talisman Embroidered Robe was formidable as its spirit talismans would come together to form screens of light that possessed a high defensive power.

  If the screens of light were shattered by the enemy, they would turn into an all-encompassing light mist which formlessly harmed the enemy.

  If the enemy focused solely on pursuing after having broken through their defences, overlooking the Immortal Talisman Embroidered Robe in the process, they would likely end up suffering a great loss.

  After having broken through the screens of light initially, Yan Di had not evaded or resisted upon being enveloped by the light mist.

  He had done something which had left everyone gaping and speechless.

  Instead of dodging or parrying, he had actually directly opened his mouth and sucked all the light mist into his mouth like an alligator sucking water before swallowing it into his stomach.

  This feat was nearly as shocking to everyone as his slaying of King Xuanmu afterwards.

  Yan Zhaoge was the sole person who had been even slightly mentally prepared, having quickly recovered from his initial surprise afterwards.

  The first thought that had arisen within his mind was the Life Creation Heavenly Scripture.

  Yan Di had dared to swallow the light mist of spirit talismans because his vitality and recuperative abilities were already powerful enough to a certain degree.

  While the light mist was damaging, it inflicted gradual damage over time as it did not instantly cause great damage. This would accumulate rapidly at a high rate, thus inflicting immense damage on the enemy within a short period of time.

  More formidable was how it was very difficult to expel after a martial practitioner had been struck by it. Even if they managed to flee with their lives, it would still root itself deep within their bodies and persistently haunt them in the future.

  Yet, the Life Creation Heavenly Scripture happened to be the best counter to this kind of technique.

  Yan Di had chosen to devour the light mist mainly because the Life Creation Heavenly Scripture could help him to rapidly refine it, assimilating it into his own power.

  “It is indeed that miraculous art,” Yan Di smiled, “After Master transmitted it to me, I have been comprehending it as quickly as I can. While it has not replaced my martial foundation, I have still benefited greatly from it and the infinite profundities it holds.”

  “It is not just the Life Creation Heavenly Scripture. I have also perused the Heart’s Will Thunder Incantation a little.”

  “It was with the help of all this that I could accomplish my accumulation again within a short period of time, my cultivation progress beginning to surge aggressively once more.”

  Hearing his words, Yan Zhaoge nodded before then asking, “After you have cultivated in it, does it feel the same as mother’s martial legacies?”

  Yan Di shook his head, “While they are similar martial scriptures, there is a very great difference in the fine details probably due to differing comprehensions by those who have passed it down. Thus, while it is similar to what Chuqing cultivated in, they are of different lineages.”

  The same martial art would require one’s own analysis and comprehensions after a profound level had been attained in it.

  Therefore, there would naturally be different, even diametrically conflicting understandings of the same martial art.

  Even the comprehensions of a master and their disciple on the very same martial art might differ.

  They would teach their own disciples in turn, the differences only getting greater and greater.

  While it could clearly be seen that they originated from the same ultimate source, their lineages might still differ as they held unique aspects of their own.

  Yan Zhaoge nodded, not saying anything further.

  Actually, there was still something that he had left unsaid.

  While it had still not been obvious before, after Yan Di had refined his acupoints to see Divinity and broken through into the Seeing Divinity stage, his sabre-intent had grown increasingly majestic and tyrannical as well as purer and more refined.

  He had gradually attained an unseen momentum which all had to unconsciously bow to.

  Still, as Yan Zhaoge observed Yan Di’s sabre-intent, he always just felt it to be familiar somewhat. Yet, this feeling was like he was looking into a fog as he was still unable to see through it for the moment.

  For the Life Creation Heavenly Scripture, Yan Zhaoge was more concerned about its origins. He could slowly ask Yuan Zhengfeng about it when next they met.

  Yan Zhaoge was instead more interested by Yan Di’s sabre-intent.

  With him having been in the World beyond Worlds for so long, he could already explain away many things as having been blessed by fortuitous encounters as it would not be as obtrusive as in the Eight Extremities World.

  Therefore, while he was only able to cultivate alone in the Peerless Heavenly Scripture, Yan Zhaoge was already ready to gradually hand a portion of the peak martial arts stored in the Divine Palace to his father when he found a chance to.

  Feeling Yan Di’s sabre-intent, Yan Zhaoge felt even greater anticipation as well as curiosity.

  Yan Di now turned to look at Ah Hu, “Huting.”

  Ah Hu hurriedly said, “Your instructions, Family Head.”

  Yan Di passed King Xuanmu’s corpse over to him, “Look for a place and bury him.”

  Beneath Yan Di’s true essence, King Xuanmu’s decapitated head was connected with his corpse.

  “His cultivation base is not weak. Circumstance was also involved in how I was able to slay him so easily. At the end of the day, he is the first expert whom I have slain in the World beyond Worlds. Leave him a full corpse. You should take care of his remains,” Yan Di said.

  Ah Hu was taken aback for a moment before he said solemnly, “Yes, Family Head.”

  He cupped his hands towards Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di before storing away King Xuanmu’s corpse and descending towards the great sea down below.

  Seeing this scene, Chen Zhiliang sighed even as he said, “Kang Ping and the others who entered the Clear Scenic Region would surely not have expected that such an incident might actually occur after their departure.”

  Yan Zhaoge asked, “Mister Chen and Mister Bai came here specifically because of the Grand Xuan Dynasty’s assault of Sun Moon Peak?”

  Chen Zhiliang first shook his head before then nodding, “We came together with senior apprentice-brother Mu for something else. Then, seeing that a battle was raging on at Sun Moon Peak, Mister Bai and I decided to come over for a look.”

  One reason for this was that the Extreme Yin Crown had actually made an appearance on the battlefield of the Virtuous Spirit
Region.

  The Kunlun Nine Luminaries consisted of supreme experts who had established the heavens and earth of the World beyond Worlds in the past. A casual stomp of a foot by them would cause the entire heavens and earth to tremble.

  The Extreme Yin Crown had precisely been the famed accompanying treasure of the Exalted Lunar Luminary.

  “It is related to the west where new movements have been detected. Therefore, we came over with senior apprentice-brother Mu for a look,” Chen Zhiliang looked at Yan Zhaoge, pondering slightly for a moment before elaborating, “Someone seems to have come over from the other side, right at the region of sea with the Virtuous Spirit Region and the Clear Scenic Region.”

  Yan Zhaoge blinked.

  West of the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory was the southern Blazing Heaven Territory.

  Chen Zhiliang glanced at Yan Zhaoge, saying, “Little Friend Yan should remain careful if you intend to remain active in this region.”

  The Southeastern Exalt’s lineage had captured the personal disciple of the Southern Exalt, Wang Hui, with Yan Zhaoge’s assistance.

  He had even personally killed another personal disciple of the Southern Exalt, Li Jing.

  It could be said that while Yan Zhaoge had never been to the southern Blazing Heaven Territory, he had already thoroughly offended the Southern Exalt.

  Chen Zhiliang said slowly, “The southern Blazing Heaven Territory has already dispatched people to our southeastern Golden Court Mountain to meet Master.”

  “Yet, we have discovered that someone from their side has also come directly to the Royal Reed Sea.”

  “The signs indicate that the other party is no ordinary person, instead being a peak expert with a powerful cultivation base. Senior apprentice-brother Lin and senior apprentice-brother Mu have already come over in preparation to deal with this.”

  Chen Zhiliang paused slightly for a moment before continuing, “Still, due to the Endless Magnetic Storms of the Clear Scenic Region which has made complicated the surrounding environment, it is not easy to quickly locate the other party right now.”

  Hearing his words, Yan Zhaoge nodded, “Many thanks for Mister Chen’s reminder. I will be careful.”

  “If I coincidentally come across traces of the descendant of the Southern Exalt’s lineage, I will notify you as soon as possible.”

  Chen Zhiliang looked at him, “You are indeed still making a trip to the Clear Scenic Region? That is no mere danger ground.”

  The danger there did not merely consist of natural hazards like the Endless Magnetic Storms.

  The three peak experts of Sheng Lingzi’s lineage, the Immortal Bridge Martial Saints Kang Ping, Gu Zhang and He Dongcheng, had all ventured within.

  Apart from that, there was also the fleeing Chief of the Radiant Light Sect, Luo Zhiyuan, who was antagonistic towards Yan Zhaoge.

  The threats facing Yan Zhaoge in entering the Clear Scenic Region were much greater than just natural disasters alone.

  Yan Zhaoge smiled, cupping his hands towards Chen Zhiliang and Bai Ziming, “This Yan thanks you for your good intentions.”

  Seeing this, Chen Zhiliang and Bai Ziming knew that he had already made up his mind.

  “This youngster is really something, being fearless towards everything. I really do not know whether I should call him crazy or courageous.”

  Chen Zhiliang sighed, ceasing in his thoughts as he glanced again at Yan Di and the wound of the sky in the distance.

  Chen Zhiliang felt that it was necessary for him to immediately report all that he had just witnessed to Lin Hanhua and Mu Jun.

  After exchanging some more pleasantries with Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di, he and Bai Ziming departed.

  They had come to the vicinity of the Clear Scenic Region and the Virtuous Spirit Region primarily due to the arrival of a disciple of the Southern Exalt there.

  After having gained a general grasp of the conflict between the Grand Xuan Dynasty and the anti-Xuan forces in the Virtuous Spirit Region, Chen Zhiliang and Bai Ziming took their leave together.

  After the two left, Yan Zhaoge turned and told Yan Di, “I intend to head to the Clear Scenic Region.”

  He first briefly described the latest situation in the Royal Reed Sea before narrating in detail how the Radiant Light Sect’s Sun Moon Peak had just fallen to the Grand Xuan Dynasty’s assault.

  “King Xuanmu and a great many Grand Xuan Dynasty martial practitioners were slain by us here, with the legendary hereditary treasure, the Grand Xuan Spear that is a high-grade Sacred Artifact, having fallen into my hands as well. Whether or not Kang Ping and the others successfully get rid of the Radiant Light Sect, after they have extricated themselves from the Endless Magnetic Storms and hear this news, they will definitely attempt to seek vengeance.”

  Yan Zhaoge looked at that wound of the sky, “This place cannot be defended effectively, leaving us in too forced a situation. Therefore, I want to make a pre-emptive strike. While there may be quite the risk in doing so, it is also a necessary thing.”

  His gaze turned slightly cold, “If we are able to do something with the help of the Endless Magnetic Storms, to the current us, it would instead be of immense help as we would no longer be stranded.”

  Yan Di frowned, “While I do not understand these Endless Magnetic Storms, from what you are saying, even experts of the seventh level of the Martial Saint realm have to be careful within. However, you have some confidence of braving it whilst achieving a beneficial effect?”

  Yan Zhaoge said, “You can rest assured on this. While the Endless Magnetic Storms are rampant, with Kang Ping and the other Immortal Bridge Martial Saints already having gone in, as they resist the storms with their powerful cultivation bases, they are actually also restricting the power of the storms. If I go in now, it will instead be much safer than it usually is.”

  “As for the threat these people pose, I will also have great leeway around this due to the Endless Magnetic Storms.”

  Yan Zhaoge glanced at the Clear Scenic Region, “Still, if I am to enter, I have to be quick.”

  Yan Di pondered for a moment before saying, “I have always felt greatly assured with your handling of matters all these years. While you like using the risky moves, you never go over in over your head.”

  “You have long since matured, and I am very supportive of whatever thoughts you might have. Still, I am afraid that I cannot accompany you this time.”

  Yan Di’s brows were knit tight, “According to what you just said, apart from King Xuanmu, this Grand Xuan Dynasty also has other experts of the sixth level of the Martial Saint realm, and not merely just one of them. If they hurry over, I have to be waiting for them at this wound of the sky.”

  “While Master is currently guarding over the Eight Extremities World, I cannot let him bear all the pressure on his own.”

  When King Xuanmu had led his troops in descending to the Eight Extremities World this time, there had indeed been an incomparable ‘surprise’ waiting for them.

  Yan Di aside, Yuan Zhengfeng too had already successfully returned to the Eight Extremities World.

  Both this master and disciple were unstoppable in the lower worlds, sweeping through their enemies as they were able to fight one against many. In the end, the two had joined forces, slaughtering the descending Grand Xuan Dynasty troops who had almost all perished there.

  However, King Xuanmu had somewhat overestimated himself this time, acting too hastily with insufficient information on his opponents.

  With King Xuanmu having died and the King Xuan Spear having been lost, the Grand Xuan Dynasty had really suffered catastrophic losses this time.

  Nevertheless, the Grand Xuan Dynasty still remained a powerful existence as it also possessed peak experts like their four Lord Protectors.

  Kang Ping and the others had formed their main force in the assault on the Sun M
oon Peak of the Virtuous Spirit Region this time. No other peak experts besides King Xuanmu had come as they all remained within their other territories of the Royal Reed Sea.

  When they received news of King Xuanmu’s death in battle, a new storm would definitely arise.

  “We have basically killed all the Grand Xuan Dynasty martial practitioners here, while Chen Zhiliang and Bai Ziming will not speak of this so easily. It will still be some time later before the Grand Xuan Dynasty learns of the news,” Yan Zhaoge said, “Moreover, with King Xuanmu’s death, his throne has now become vacant. There are probably many who would desire to sit on it.”

  With this, Yan Zhaoge and the others still had a considerable amount of time to work things out.

  Yan Di said, “While this possibility exists, we cannot stake all our hopes on the internal conflict of our enemies.”

  “That’s right. Still, this time difference is one that we can make use of,” Yan Zhaoge looked at the wound of the sky before gazing into the distance, his gaze traversing the vast ocean and falling on where the Sun Moon Peak had once stood.

  “The Heavy Sun Sect of the Floating Gate World gained a stable foothold in the World beyond Worlds and re-established their sect there, and this is something our Broad Creed Mountain too could do,” Yan Zhaoge suddenly smiled, “Still, if we are to re-establish our clan, we might have to temporarily choose this place which the Radiant Light Sect used to call home.”

  Yan Di smiled as well, “There are both benefits and detriments to the existence of this wound of the sky.”

  Yan Zhaoge said, “Clear up all the enemies who pose a threat, and there will naturally no longer be anything to worry about afterwards.”

  Yan Di said, “As an important safeguard, we will instead need Master to temporarily remain in the Eight Extremities World for a period of time. Master is actually just that sliver away from breaking through that bottleneck.”

  He looked at Yan Zhaoge, “Before I came up this time, Master specifically instructed that the Life Creation Heavenly Scripture he obtained be transmitted to you as well.”
