After saying so, he even half-bowed towards Yan Zhaoge in thanks.
Even though Yan Zhaoge had the background of the Exalted Gold Luminary and the Sword Sovereign supporting him, a True Immortal like the Brocade Emperor doing this was shocking within this world.
Let alone those by the shore in the distance, He Xixing and Li Junxin were both looking on in shock at the Brocade Emperor.
The corners of Yan Zhaoge’s mouth twitched as he did not feel honoured in the least.
With a strange expression on his face, he looked first at He Xixing and then at Meng Wan.
He Xixing could be said to be the Brocade Emperor’s most prided disciple at the present time.
Meng Wan was the birth daughter of the Brocade Emperor.
Yet, the Brocade Emperor had been wholly unreserved in mentioning the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord in front of them, next having acted as if nothing had happened at all.
One must know that it was not that the trouble hidden within He Xixing, Meng Wan and the others would simply disappear after they had attained the Human Exalt stage.
Only those who were already Exalts would not be affected after hearing the name of the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord.
The problem would still exist for those who had heard it beforehand and become Exalts only afterwards.
“So long as they do not find trouble with us, our sect had no plans to relentlessly pursue and kill those of Wutong Slope in the first place,” Yan Zhaoge locked down sound from travelling into the outside world while conversing with the Brocade Emperor, “Moreover, the dead are departed. We would naturally not make things difficult for a lover of yours, o Emperor.”
“You and Meng…” Yan Zhaoge paused briefly, looking towards the Brocade Emperor and Meng Wan.
The Brocade Emperor smiled, “Fu Mengwan. This is the name that Xianting christened Wan’er with.”
Yan Zhaoge nodded, “If the Brocade Emperor and Miss Fu do not mind, our sect will send people to take charge of things here at Star Reflecting Lake, making sure that it is not disturbed by anyone.”
“In that case, thank you then, Young Master Yan,” Meng Wan rose, bowing towards Yan Zhaoge too.
She had a tranquil expression on her face at this moment with the attitude of simply awaiting and going wherever things led her.
Meng Wan would definitely not be able to feel calm for this most major upheaval in her life.
It was just that she could only go along with the flow and see where things led her now.
The Brocade Emperor now said, “I feel immense gratitude at Little Friend Yan’s assistance. I will have to trouble your sect in the future then.”
“I would like to take a look at the land where Wan’er grew up in her youth. Wan’er also rather misses her Master who raised her in the past. I should properly thank her on her behalf too.”
“Everyone, you can leave then.”
With that, he nodded towards Meng Wan, holding her hand as he stepped forth, disappearing from the spot amidst endless purple qi that surged all round.
The Upper Exalt Chen Qianhua stared at Yan Zhaoge for a long time, a conflicted look appearing on his face as he seemed to be considering whether to stay behind and interact with Yan Zhaoge or to continue following the Brocade Emperor.
In the end, he glanced regretfully at Yan Zhaoge before turning and taking his leave as well.
The screen of light from the Dim Radiant Wheel did not impede the Brocade Emperor and Chen Qianhua from leaving.
Instead, it was maintained there. As the two vanished, it remained with the intention of making sure everyone else stayed there.
He Xixing looked strangely at Yan Zhaoge.
Yan Zhaoge rubbed his temples, “Please do not be in a hurry to leave, Fellow Daoist He. There are some things that you must first be told of.”

HSSB1070: The Brocade Emperor descends to the Eight Extremities World
The faces of He Xixing and Li Junxin after learning the truth were exceptionally colourful portraits indeed.
Li Junxin’s first reaction was to look towards He Xixing.
After a stunned silence, an awkward He Xixing could only smile bitterly.
Yan Zhaoge exchanged looks with the two of them as they all just felt deeply helpless.
The name of the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord was a forbidden entity for the entire World beyond Worlds.
All those who knew of it would keep their mouths tightly shut, not leaking this of their own accord.
Even the Heaven Emperor and Zhuang Shen had never even thought of resorting to this when they had been on irreconcilable terms with Broad Creed Mountain and Golden Court Mountain before.
On one hand, they were unwilling for orthodox Daoism to be harmed at the expense of the Immortal Court and the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord.
On the other, this sort of method could be used by both sides. If they used it against others, others could similarly use it back against them.
Therefore, besides the Upper Exalt Chen Qianhua whose thoughts were difficult to predict, all the other peak experts of the World beyond Worlds shared this collective understanding and bottom line.
Perhaps because he was unconcerned about it or due to some other reason, the Upper Exalt Chen Qianhua had also never leaked information regarding the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord and the Immortal Court before.
Who would have thought that it would be the Brocade Emperor Fu Yunchi who was the first to infringe on this bottom line today.
Li Junxin had a heavy expression on his face as he said not a word.
Yan Zhaoge could basically empathise with him. This was a classic case of the casual bystander ending up a tragic casualty.
“Today’s events should be conveyed to the Earth Exalt as soon as possible,” Yan Zhaoge sighed.
Li Junxin nodded silently, saying after a while, “I will return to Qilin Cliff now and tell Master about this. I will inform the Concealed Sovereign too. I will leave it to the two of you to watch over things here for the time being.”
He calmed his emotions before turning and heading north.
Yan Zhaoge smiled wryly as he looked at He Xixing, “Can I request that Fellow Daoist He helps me watch over things here?”
“The Brocade Emperor will be heading to none other than the lower world that my Broad Creed Mountain originates from, the Eight Extremities World, after this.”
“That place is currently subordinate to my Broad Creed Mountain. Still, to ensure that the Brocade Emperor is shown due respect, it would still be better for this Yan makes a trip personally.”
He said, “I will invite the Southeastern Exalt to oversee and handle things over here.”
He Xixing cupped his hands towards Yan Zhaoge, “Of course, Fellow Daoist Yan. This He will make sure that things all go well here.”
He had already calmed down completely at this moment. Though he himself was also a victim, his future prospects potentially hindered, he had already regained his usual mature, responsible, self.
As a direct descendant of the Grand Clear lineage, He Xixing possessed outstanding strength. Also being a late Immortal Bridge Martial Saint, as he currently took charge over the area around Star Reflecting Lake, the people there were immediately put under his watch and kept from leaving.
With his presence, while those who were detained expressed slight dissatisfaction, they did still tolerate it.
As this matter concerned an Emperor, that they had been spying on this location to watch what happened was itself rather a taboo too.
Now that they had been detained by a disciple of the Brocade Emperor, awaiting further verdict, they could not really complain about it.
After taking his leave of He Xixing, Yan Zhaoge quickly headed east in rushing to the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory.
The wound of the sky that connected the World beyond Worlds and the Eight Extremities World was loc
ated in the Spirit Inheritance Region of the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory’s Royal Reed Sea. It was currently beneath the back mountain of Broad Creed Mountain.
For those who wanted to go from the World beyond Worlds to the Eight Extremities World, if they had no precise spatial markers to guide them, they would only be able to use the wound of the sky at Broad Creed Mountain.
These basic rules might not be applicable to a True Immortal any longer, though.
Still, who knew how the Brocade Emperor would travel to the Eight Extremities World.
Therefore, Yan Zhaoge could only rush back to Broad Creed Mountain in the Royal Reed Sea.
Moreover, the Upper Exalt Chen Qianhua seemed to want to join in the fun too.
As he had never actually interacted with him face to face before, Yan Zhaoge’s understanding of Chen Qianhua was limited to a few rumours.
After seeing him a little for the first time today, Yan Zhaoge could sense that he definitely was not someone to be trifled with.
“This time’s matter was already difficult to predict in the first place, and yet another unpredictable variable has been added in now,” Yan Zhaoge curled his lips, lightly rubbing his temple.
After much journeying, Yan Zhaoge passed by Circumference Mountain and returned to the Royal Reed Sea.
After returning to Broad Creed Mountain and seeing that things were all normal there, Yan Zhaoge was able to relax greatly.
He landed at the top of the Heaven Rising Peak and happened to meet Yuan Zhengfeng and Fang Zhun as they emerged from the great hall.
Seeing Fang Zhun, Yan Zhaoge felt inwardly relieved.
Thanks to his reminder, Fang Zhun had left Star Reflecting Lake prematurely, returning to Broad Creed Mountain.
It would naturally have been unrealistic to try to impede the Brocade Emperor’s footsteps. Besides returning to inform his fellow martial practitioners of Broad Creed Mountain in the Royal Reed Sea, more important was that Fang Zhun had informed those who were in the Eight Extremities World about this, lest they accidentally provoke or offend the Brocade Emperor due to their ignorance.
After all, Meng Wan was travelling together with the Brocade Emperor, and many of Broad Creed Mountain’s martial practitioners would be able to recognise her as the Maiden of Extreme Yin of their fallen foe of the past, the Sacred Sun Clan.
In the end, Fang Zhun had managed to avoid this tribulation as a result, with tragedy not having befallen him like it had He Xixing, Li Junxin and the others.
“Zhaoge, that you have personally rushed back means that the Brocade Emperor will really be coming?” Yuan Zhengfeng asked.
Yan Zhaoge gnashed his teeth, “The Brocade Emperor came ahead of me.”
He looked at Yuan Zhengfeng and Fang Zhun, “From the looks of it, he did not come here. Even if he did, he did not alert us of his presence.”
“As the Brocade Emperor possesses a mighty cultivation base, if he wanted to hide himself, we would naturally be unable to discover him,” Fang Zhun shook his head, “Still, with his status and identity, he would not lower himself to the point of hiding himself and acting covertly before our sect.”
Yan Zhaoge nodded, “Exactly.”
He paused for a moment before asking, “Then, what about the Upper Exalt?”
While they had not interacted much, based on Chen Qianhua’s earlier actions, Yan Zhaoge believed that he was likely to casually pass through Broad Creed Mountain in heading to the Eight Extremities World.
“The Upper Exalt has gotten involved too?” Yuan Zhengfeng and Fang Zhun both shook their heads, “We haven’t seen him, at least.”
Yan Zhaoge pondered on this as he strode towards Water Ridge Peak.
The wound of the sky that led to the Eight Extremities World was precisely beneath this Water Ridge Peak.
“I recall that Meng Wan’s Master in the Sacred Sun Clan, Chen Mingying, joined Turbid Wind Pavilion that year?” Yan Zhaoge confirmed things with Yuan Zhengfeng and Fang Zhun as they walked, “Is she still there now?”
Fang Zhun nodded, “She is.”
After the Sacred Sun Clan had been felled by Yan Zhaoge that year, its martial practitioners had either died or dispersed.
Some chose to live solitarily or in hiding while others chose to join other powers of the Eight Extremities World.
Elder Chen Mingying could be considered a reputable expert of the Sacred Sun Clan’s senior generation as she was also Meng Wan’s Master. Therefore, Broad Creed Mountain still paid attention to what she was currently doing.
In the battle in the underwater palace of the Clear Scenic Region that year, Feng Yunsheng had battled Meng Wan to decide on the ultimate wielder of the Extreme Yin Crown.
Back then, Feng Yunsheng had told Meng Wan that her Master, Chen Mingying, was still of this world.
If there was anyone whom Meng Wan was truly able to connect with in this world, there were two of them. One was Feng Yunsheng, the other being Chen Mingying.
Meng Wan was only truly her most authentic self in front of them.
Now that she had a chance to return to the Eight Extremities World, Meng Wan would naturally go visit her Master whom she missed.
Yan Zhaoge came to the foot of Water Ridge Peak and opened the sealed wound of the sky, striding within.
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 1071: Thoughts regarding the Sacred Sun Clan?
HSSB1071: Thoughts regarding the Sacred Sun Clan?
Yan Zhaoge passed through the wound of the sky, the spatial boundaries illusory before him as the very heavens and earth changed.
In returning to the Eight Extremities World, he was suddenly obstructed.
Yan Zhaoge had left the high-grade Sacred Artifacts other than the Extreme Yang Seal in the World beyond Worlds.
However, the Dim Radiant Wheel could not be tolerated by this lower world too.
Were it a fully completed Immortal Artifact, it would be able to adjust its own power so that it could descend into the lower world, which it had been able to when there had only been one slot emitting light and it had still been weak previously.
Now, however, as nine slots flickered with light, the Dim Radiant Wheel was rejected by the heavens and earth of the Eight Extremities World.
Seeing this, Yan Zhaoge could only roll his eyes, leaving the Dim Radiant Wheel in the World beyond Worlds.
Over in the Eight Extremities World, this wound of the sky was located in the sky above where the Sacred Sun Clan’s World Illuminating Peak had formerly stood.
Descending into the Eight Extremities World, Yan Zhaoge felt that the spiritual qi flow there was extremely familiar and as it had always been before.
With his current cultivation base, even though he was being suppressed by the power of dimensions, he could still vaguely sense the spiritual qi flow and fluctuations of the entire world.
As compared to in the past, the spiritual qi was even more abundant in the current Eight Extremities World and better suited for martial practitioners to cultivate with.
This was all thanks to Broad Creed Mountain.
After having gained stable footing in the World beyond Worlds, Broad Creed Mountain had begun collecting some treasures which they had sent to the Eight Extremities World. With the Heaven Domain as the centre, they had unceasingly influenced the earth veins and gradually evoked relatively sizeable though subtle changes within.
While it might not be all that evident now, the effects would only improve as time passed.
While there would ultimately be a limit to such an improvement as it would be incomparable to the World beyond Worlds no matter what, this was inevitably some great fortune for those of the Eight Extremities World.
From what Yan Zhaoge knew, those original few Martial Saints of the Eight Extremities World had all improved without exception over the past few years as many outstanding new experts had appeared too.
Although Yan Zhaoge was probably younger than many of these people, when placed before him, they could rea
lly only be considered newcomers to the cultivation world.
There were already people waiting for Yan Zhaoge at the location where the Sacred Sun Clan had formerly stood.
One was a late Merging Avatar Martial Saint, the other being a Transcending Mortality Martial Grandmaster.
The former was the current First Seat Elder of Broad Creed Mountain’s Disciplinary Hall in the World beyond Worlds, Xu Fei.
He was already at the peak of the Merging Avatar stage and only a step away from breaking through space and seeing true Divinity.
In terms of age, he was comparable to the late Phoenix Prince Zhuang Chaohui.
One had to consider Xu Fei’s starting point as well as the fact that only having come to the superior environment of the World beyond Worlds to cultivate in recent years, there was much potential in him that had still yet to be excavated.
While he was not like Yan Zhaoge who had all eyes on him in the World beyond Worlds, Xue Fei had already risen to prominence there too.
Having received a notification from Fang Zhun earlier, Xu Fei had descended to the Eight Extremities World specifically to help make the relevant arrangements.
The other person there was the current Chief of Broad Creed Mountain in the Eight Extremities World, Feng Chi.
Feng Chi and Yan Di had been inseparable friends back in their youth as they had entered Broad Creed Mountain to learn martial arts together.
While the current gap in their cultivation bases was immense, Feng Chu had always been a milder, composed person as he did not feel any out of sorts because of this.
Feng Chi had also been amongst those Yuan Zhengfeng and the others had decided should head to the World beyond Worlds initially.
Still, they had considered afterwards that they required a capable person to manage things back in the Eight Extremities World.
Because of the authority of Broad Creed Mountain in the World beyond Worlds, no one in the Eight Extremities World dared to encroach on the Heaven Domain.
Therefore, they would not require pure strength for intimidation. They simply needed someone who was capable of competently overseeing things there.
In the end, Feng Chi had stayed behind, even having taken over the mantle at the head of the Eight Extremities World’s Broad Creed Mountain.
