  History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 812: Supreme treasure of the Heavenly Court’s Divine Palace

  HSSB812: Supreme treasure of the Heavenly Court’s Divine Palace

  The numerous images projected from the Northern Ocean Clone’s eyes merged in mid-air, finally forming a complete image.

  The scenes depicted within this image were guiding the way for Yan Zhaoge.

  Amongst lofty mountains and precipitous peaks, in a mountain gorge which virtually never saw the light of day, there was a lone, solitary cave which was concealed by strange stones and bryophytes.

  Xiao Ai realised, “In that short moment after wresting the jade necklace from Sun Zhongda’s hands, before you handed the jade necklace over to the Xie Family Head, Young Master’s clone had already successfully deciphered the secret contained within the necklace?”

  Yan Zhaoge smiled, “Precisely so. Though rather complex, it still did not pose much difficulty for me.”

  “The original owner of the necklace suffered a tribulation after exiting the Jade Sun Mountain Range, perishing very quickly afterwards. The necklace was really a clue that he had left for his descendants. Sadly, none of them managed to discover its secret, instead selling it to the Setting Sun Archipelago’s Xie Family.”

  He pointed at that projected scene, “This cave should be the place where the jade necklace’s original owner discovered that efficacious pill.”

  Feng Yunsheng asked, “Do we leave at once?”

  Yan Zhaoge nodded, “Let us search for mother’s whereabouts in Whale Fishing City one last time. If we find nothing, we will leave this place for the Jade Sun Mountain Range’s Solitary Heart Peak.”

  He had earlier found out that the Solitary Heart Peak was one of the rare places in the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory where Heavenly Flame Trees grew.

  Analysing the written clues Qi Wei had left behind, he had found that the Encompassing Abundance Golden Pill which he had obtained was related to this place.

  If he had still been uncertain before, corroborating this with the situation made known to them by Sun Zhongda and the jade necklace, Yan Zhaoge believed that this was precisely where his goal lay.

  They had already planned previously to head to the Jade Sun Mountain Range’s Solitary Heart Peak after coming to Whale Fishing City.

  Now that they had the map of the area, they had saved themselves from searching as they would be able to directly enter that cave.

  “It is actually the Profound Sky Purple Gold Furnace?” Yan Zhaoge pondered as some memories from times long past arose unbidden in his mind.

  Despite not having personally come into contact with the Profound Sky Purple Gold Furnace before, he knew it was a supreme treasure of the dao of alchemy.

  Before the Great Calamity, it had been one of the top-ranking pill-concocting devices throughout all the heavens.

  The Internal Crystal Furnace which Yan Zhaoge was currently using to forge artifacts was actually a variant of this supreme treasure, its purpose being switched from pill concoction to artifact forging.

  At the price of decreasing its efficiency somewhat, ease of operations as well as production for the Internal Crystal Furnace had correspondingly been obtained.

  Yan Zhaoge believed that this could be considered a benevolent gesture which benefited everyone.

  Of course, the Profound Sky Purple Gold Furnace was still that Profound Sky Purple Furnace, being one of a kind and difficult to replicate.

  As a supreme treasure of the Heavenly Court’s Divine Palace, this furnace had usually remained in the Pill Hall. It would only be opened for alchemical purposes every once in a while.

  The miraculous medicinal effects of the pills it produced truly caused one to sigh in admiration.

  For powerful divine pills like the Encompassing Abundance Golden Pill, it might only be able to produce a limited number of them.

  Still, when it was used to produce other pills which were slightly inferior in grade, the number of pills produced would be truly astounding.

  The oceanic amount of efficacious medicine stored within the Pill Hall of the Heavenly Court’s Divine Palace was really no simple thing at all.

  Moreover, the so-called lower grade pills were only relative to the Encompassing Abundance Golden Pill. These pills were all priceless treasures here in this current post-Great Calamity era.

  If any one of them were to appear in the World beyond Worlds, people would go crazy fighting for it.

  While it was often said that relying on pills for cultivation would result in an unstable foundation, hindering one’s advance, this was still only in the comparative sense.

  While an oceanic amount of efficacious medicine did not guarantee turning an untalented person into an unrivalled expert, it could definitely help those geniuses to soar to the peak more quickly.

  The stability of their foundations depended more on they themselves.

  As he pondered, he heard Ah Hu re-enter from outside, smiling, “Young Master, Xie Liang and the others have come looking to meet you.”

  Yan Zhaoge shrugged, “I have nothing to say to him. Even though I obtained the clue within the jade necklace from him, I also returned the necklace to him. Whether he can discover the secret hidden within it will have to depend on his own abilities.”

  “If he cannot discover it, it will just be like today never happened to him. The fakes would not have come, and while he would not have gained anything, he would not have lost anything either. There would be no difference from how it was before this.”

  Yan Zhaoge said, “Regarding finding clues about mother, it is fine to privately take note of it. There is no need to rely on the help of locals, resulting in a great furore throughout the city afterwards.”

  Ah Hu answered, “I know what to do.”

  He instantly paused for a moment before clapping his head, “Right, that guy whose wife was earlier abducted has come over as well.”

  Hearing his words, Yan Zhaoge remained unmoving as he gazed over towards the entrance of the winehouse through the walls that stood between them.

  His gaze directly passed through the obstructing entity as he saw that aside for Xie Liang and the others, that young Martial Scholar whose wife had been abducted by the fake had now pulled his wife along, coming over to the entrance of the winehouse as well.

  Facing the fake Yan Zhaoge who had also been a Martial Saint, this youth had refused to lower his head. Yet, he was now kneeling on the ground on one knee, bowing in respect at the winehouse.

  He did not even know which part of the winehouse Yan Zhaoge was currently in.

  Still, after bowing together, the husband and wife no longer lingered, not attempting to meet Yan Zhaoge again as well as they directly turned and left.

  Seeing this, a look of admiration instead appeared on Yan Zhaoge’s face.

  After gradually watching them head off into the distance, Yan Zhaoge slowly nodded, “Possessing some backbone indeed.”

  The black-clothed imposter who had abducted his wife should be a solitary practitioner of the Jade Sun Mountain Range.

  While it was less likely that he had relatives or friends here, there was the possibility that revenge might still be sought against the one who had killed him.

  While it was due to Yan Zhaoge that he had perished, he had been personally slain by the youth whose wife he had abducted.

  While the other side would be unwilling to offend Yan Zhaoge, they might still kill this youth to vent their negative emotions.

  Under such circumstances, this person had still dared to kill the black-clothed imposter, only having thanked Yan Zhaoge about it afterwards with no intention of seeking protection and hanging on the coattails of Yan Zhaoge and the rest.

  “His talent is actually not bad, being upper average. It is just that he started cultivating rather late. Still, it is not that he has no hope of rising to prominence eventually,” Yan Zhaoge said to Ah Hu, “His personality is rather rash, but his mentality is good. Giv
e him a chance. He can decide for himself.”

  Ah Hu understood, “I will point out a path for him and prepare some funds. It will completely be up to him whether he is willing to make the trip to the Royal Reed Sea and join Broad Creed Mountain.”

  Yan Zhaoge nodded, and Ah Hu left, going outside the winehouse to exchange words with Xie Liang and the others.

  The Northern Ocean Clone left the winehouse, continuing to search for Xue Chuqing’s whereabouts.

  Sadly, it seemed that there really wasn’t anything about her to be found here in Whale Fishing City.

  Yan Zhaoge’s group thus departed, leaving the city and heading for the Jade Sun Mountain Range.

  The Xie Family Head, Xie Liang, still never managed to see Yan Zhaoge at the end of the day. While Ah Hu had spoken politely, he felt uneasy as he did not know if Yan Zhaoge truly did not mind the incident which had happened earlier.

  Logically speaking, Yan Zhaoge was not often active in the Setting Sun Archipelago. He had not missed out on anything much by failing to forge a good relationship with him here.

  Still, for some reason, Xie Liang just felt that he and his Family seemed to have missed out on something very important.

  History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 813: The ultimate wastrel Yan Zhaoge

  HSSB813: The ultimate wastrel Yan Zhaoge

  After leaving Whale Fishing City and the Setting Sun Archipelago, Yan Zhaoge’s group hurried to the Jade Sun Mountain Range’s Solitary Heart Peak.

  Pan-Pan lifted the Myriad Dragon Palace, speeding through the air.

  Yan Zhaoge and the others were seated within the Myriad Dragon Palace. Ah Hu was cultivating in martial arts diligently, Feng Yunsheng was undergoing breathing cycles and Xiao Ai was being all enraptured by a map that Yan Zhaoge had transmitted to her.

  The Northern Ocean Clone too was seated in the palace. He sat cross-legged with a huge spear placed horizontally across his knee.

  Light flickered on the tip of the spear which resembled flowing fire with a rampant aura that was tyrannical and authoritative surging from within.

  It was none other than the high-grade Sacred Artifact, the King Xuan Spear.

  With the Northern Ocean Clone’s cultivation base, as he did not cultivate in the Grand Xuan royalty’s direct lineage Five Fires True Art and Seven Fowl Treasured Spear, it had not been a very easy thing for him to refine this weapon at all.

  Still, having slowly whittled down its strength over the past half year, this weapon had already fallen into the Northern Ocean Clone’s control now.

  Yan Zhaoge had not interfered in this, instead allowing the Northern Ocean Clone to resist it alone.

  Even during this refinement process, the high-grade Sacred Artifact had simultaneously tempered the Northern Ocean Clone like a millstone.

  As the Northern Ocean Clone inhaled and exhaled, the numerous acupoints of his body pulsed simultaneously, resonating with the numerous stars of the universe.

  More and more of the Northern Ocean Clone’s acupoints had broken through and seen Divinity, possessing even more inconceivable power as he was correspondingly strengthened.

  After refining the Grand Xuan Spear, the Northern Ocean Clone now stood at the peak of the fourth level of the Martial Saint realm, the early Seeing Divinity stage.

  He was only a paper-thin distance away from breaking through that final bottleneck and successfully attaining the fifth level of the Martial Saint realm, the mid Seeing Divinity stage.

  Upon stepping into the mid Seeing Divinity stage, martial practitioners would have lit up the starfire within their bodies.

  After the acupoints had been refined into Divinities, the inner universe in one’s body would begin communicating with the real external universe, beginning to take form as it was refined non-stop.

  During this process, a continual strengthening of the fleshly body’s qi and blood was required to sustain the resonance between yet more acupoints and the actual stars as they achieved Divinity.

  While refining acupoints to see Divinity did itself strengthen the fleshly body, it was still insufficient.

  In order to unceasingly break past one’s innate physical limits, many methods had to be employed all at once.

  Fire would be born within the acupoints that had achieved Divinity which were further used to cleanse and refine the body. It was just like starlight in the inner universe had transformed into starfire, pulsing within the sky.

  By lighting up the starfire in one’s body and expanding one’s physical limits, one would be able to sustain more acupoints which had achieved Divinity, advancing along the path of the martial dao.

  Lighting up this starfire was not something that could be done only with a single acupoint that had achieved Divinity. This required a certain number of the body’s stars having already been attained.

  With the basic conditions having been fulfilled, one could simply unceasingly seek a way to break through the final bottleneck.

  The Northern Ocean Clone had already arrived at this bottleneck. As soon as he managed to ignite the starfire, he would achieve another effective rebirth as he attained the fifth level of the Martial Saint realm.

  Yan Zhaoge himself had already finished moderating his condition now. He was currently focused on the Internal Crystal Furnace before him.

  At this moment, following numerous refinements, his Internal Crystal Furnace had basically already regained its flair from the pre-Great Calamity era.

  With Yan Zhaoge’s cultivation base as a Martial Saint, if he had sufficient materials, he would even be able to mass produce low-grade Sacred Artifacts.

  Still, materials which could be used to forge Sacred Artifacts were always rare, even in the World beyond Worlds.

  Yan Zhaoge was wondering if it would be the same even in the Jun Heaven Territory and Kunlun Mountain.

  Currently, he was staring at a dark green bamboo cane that flickered with purple light inside the Internal Crystal Furnace.

  This dark green bamboo cane had lengthened yet again. From its original five feet, it had grown to be nearly six feet long now.

  Originally having possessed five segments, the completion of a sixth segment too seemed imminent.

  Yan Zhaoge was holding a sword in his hand, its sword-light like a rainbow streaking across the sky as it illuminated the heavens and the earth.

  It was the low-grade Sacred Artifact, the Glorious Rainbow Sword, which he had obtained from Liao Zheng of Shen Lingzi’s lineage when he had previously slain him and wrested away the Earth Ocean Lung Crystals, Heaven Bearing Efficate Fragrance and other treasures.

  As a sword-type Sacred Artifact, Yan Zhaoge had rather habitually used this weapon for a period of time wherein he had rampaged throughout the Royal Reed Sea.

  Still, he no longer had any need of it now.

  First not speaking of the high-grade Sacred Artifact, the Evil Sword Taotie, the weapon that he had wrested from Sun Zhongda just earlier was a sword-type mid-grade Sacred Artifact that surpassed the Glorious Rainbow Sword.

  Gazing into the Internal Crystal Furnace, Yan Zhaoge threw the Glorious Rainbow Sword within.

  “While it can be unceasingly refined to become stronger alongside my cultivation advancements, it still requires fertiliser too,” Yan Zhaoge smacked his lips.

  Yan Zhaoge could burn artifacts and spirit artifacts like firewood. As for Sacred Artifacts, he really did not have many scruples about them at all.

  Still, Sacred Artifacts were hard to come by at the end of the day. While Yan Zhaoge was gradually coming to find low-grade Sacred Artifacts redundant, there were many around him and of Broad Creed Mountain whose strength would be bolstered greatly by these.

  In the Eight Extremities World of the past, a single Sacred Artifact had been sufficient to influence the entire global situation.

  There was still a very limited number of low-grade Sacred Artifacts in the Eight Extremities World even now.

  For Broad Creed Mountain to stably establish
itself here in the World beyond Worlds, it similarly required sufficient foundation to fall back on.

  Therefore, while Yan Zhaoge had obtained and accumulated quite a few treasures before this, he had still not thrown them directly into the Internal Crystal Furnace to burn for the sake of refining that bamboo cane of his.

  Still, there was basically no longer a need to consider this matter anymore.

  Speaking of this, he really had King Xuanmu to thank for it.

  Following the battle of the Spirit Inheritance Region and that which had occurred when the Grand Xuan Dynasty experts had descended into the Eight Extremities World, Yan Zhaoge and Broad Creed Mountain’s accumulated spoils of war did not consist of merely the King Xuan Spear, the Cloud Commanding Spear and the Precipitous Golden Armour. They had obtained a vast number of low-grade Sacred Artifacts as well.

  While a few of these had unavoidably been destroyed due to the rather tyrannical methods of Yan Zhaoge, Yan Di and Yuan Zhengfeng, there was a considerable portion of them that still remained.

  Of all these, apart from some of superior quality which were retained, the remainder were all appropriated by Yan Zhaoge as ample firewood to burn.

  For Broad Creed Mountain to achieve prominence in the World beyond Worlds, it was currently relying more on its top-tier experts like Yan Zhaoge, Yan Di, Feng Yunsheng and Yuan Zhengfeng.

  As for mid-tier experts, they still needed a long time to grow and develop.

  Now that the Internal Crystal Furnace had finally attained major completion, while Sacred Artifacts were hard to refine, there was still time for their acquisition of resources to be accumulated slowly alongside the growth of their talents.

  Of course, if the news were to spread, those from other powers would definitely still be mindblown.

  At this point, the Imperious Cold Martial Armour and the Fish Dragon Spear aside, Yan Zhaoge had already thrown all his remaining low-grade Sacred Artifacts in the Internal Crystal Furnace as fuel.

  He could still use the former. As for the latter, being the first Sacred Artifact he had forged, he could simply leave it as a keepsake.
