Even so, he still lost under Yan Zhaoge’s fist.
However, losing was one thing. The Immortal Artifact being possessed by someone else was an entirely different matter.
Now, He Mian just hoped that Yan Zhaoge had just purely borrowed the Sunlight Emperor’s weapon.
If there were any other follow-ups, it would be unimaginable.
“Did he have the Origin Opening Sword or any other Immortal Artifacts with him?” He Mian looked at Yan Zhaoge and guessed in his heart.
Halfway through his thinking, he was filled with bitterness.
There wasn’t much point in thinking about these now.
After he had ascended to become an Immortal, He Mian still had the confidence to fight against Long Xueji.
However, after the fight with Yan Zhaoge, his heart was filled with uncertainty.
This was an unprecedented experience in his life.
There was no doubt that He Mian could reach his current state because of how strong and persistent his will was.
He immediately felt his state of mind becoming unstable, and immediately calmed himself down. He guarded himself internally and looked inside his internal body to sharpen his sword will.
“Cloud Emperor’s plan is really ambitious, and is very commendable.” Yan Zhaoge did not look at He Mian, nor did he explain anything about the Mirror Light above him. He withdrew the vintage mirror and proceeded to smile slightly at the Cloud Conquering Emperor.
This Prime Clear lineage grand sword cultivator was proficient in both formations and swords.
After Yan Zhaoge fought with the master and disciple, he could vaguely feel that the Cloud Emperor wanted to bring back the legendary Immortal Exterminating Formation which had been lost for a long time!
Cloud Conquering Emperor shook his head, “It’s not that simple. I’m stuck even at the very beginning.”
“You already won against the others when you have a will like this,” said Yan Zhaoge.
He waved his hand, “Today, I barely won you. If Cloud Emperor still wants to continue, I will go along with it. Go ahead and use your Clear Accomplishment Sword.”
“However, like what I said to Daoist He just now, something’s weird about the Pill Hall we are in, and it shouldn’t be underestimated.”
The Clear Accomplishment Sword was Cloud Conquering Emperor’s sword, and it was a Leakless Immortal Artifact.
With the Cloud Conquering Emperor’s cultivation and strength, having a sword with him would make a huge difference.
Cloud Emperor shook his head.
Although he could tell that Yan Zhaoge hadn’t refined the Mirror Light yet, who knows if Yan Zhaoge had the Origin Opening Sword or any other Immortal Artifacts were in his possession.
Even if he didn’t have them, he could just retreat and escape with his capabilities.
Besides, the Cloud Emperor instantly thought about many things after seeing the Mirror Light.
He looked at Yan Zhaoge, “The new generation defeating the old generation. Yan Xintang and Di Qinglian can rest in peace if they knew that their descendant was like this.”
“You praise me too much, Cloud Emperor.” Yan Zhaoge nodded. He retrieved the Profound Sky Purple Golden Furnace and did not bother looking at the pill storage below anymore.
Most of the divine pills in the pill storage had already been collected by him.
Although the rest were still precious, there was no need to waste time in order to go back to sort them out.
Fighting against both Cloud Conquering Daoist and He Mian took up quite some time.
Now, Yan Zhaoge was more worried about the opponent that came in one step earlier and took away a huge amount of divine pills from the pill storage.
After contemplating for a while, he started his journey again.
This time, his aim was the Pill Hall’s core control centre.
Cloud Emperor and He Mian looked at Yan Zhaoge’s actions in curiosity.
He Mian looked at his master. The Cloud Emperor shook his head, “Without the Profound Sky Purple Golden Furnace, the spatial world below would be hard to open in such a short amount of time.”
After he finished talking, he went after Yan Zhaoge. He Mian followed him as well.
“Based on what Fallen Deity said just now, is there something abnormal about Heavenly Court’s Divine Palace’s Pill Hall itself?” Cloud Emperor asked.
If he managed to acquire the Profound Sky Purple Golden Furnace, his goal would be completed, and he would back out instantly.
Now that he couldn’t get it, he could only resort to going around the Pill Hall for other harvests of similar values.
The Profound Sky Purple Golden Furnace wasn’t the only legendary treasure furnace.
There were many kinds of legendary treasures as well.
Yan Zhaoge wasn’t reluctant to team up with Cloud Emperor and his disciple. He said, “In the Pill Hall, there seems to be some kind of existence, some kind of will.”
“I’m not sure if someone came in before me, or if an expert before the Great Calamity is resting here. However, there’s no doubt that we have to be careful of it.”
Cloud Conquering Emperor and He Mian frowned. He Mian mumbled to himself, “Other than that, there’s still the interference of the Demon Race.”
“Indeed.” Yan Zhaoge’s heart was connected to the North Ocean Clone who was in the control centre.
He knew that not only a group of people had entered the Pill Hall. Now, they had all ventured inside.
Following the path forward, after traversing through layers of space, a field of radiating stars appeared in the dark cosmos in front of him.
“The core hub of the Pill Hall, Purple Divine Pavilion…” Yan Zhaoge narrowed his eyes.

POSTED ON JULY 31, 2020 BY MAXIMUS
In the inner universe of the Pill Hall, the other places would remain invisible if no special methods were used to activate them.
As the core hub, the Purple Divine Pavilion was radiating with starlights.
Although the dark void causes one to lose their sense of distance.
The field of starlight would give the feeling that this place was the centre of the hall’s universe.
Although it was the first time Cloud Conquest Emperor and He Mian had arrived here, they could tell that something was extraordinary about it.
They also viewed Yan Zhaoge differently because of how he found this area.
He Mian and his master located the pill storage not solely because of luck.
They had some information regarding the Pill Hall.
This clue was related to the pill storage.
The pill storage was engulfed in a mysterious shadow, which made it hard to find it. In the end, they managed to locate it without going through many unnecessary paths.
However, Yan Zhaoge was faster than them.
It might be a coincidence for them to meet each other at the pill storage.
However, coincidence wouldn’t explain how Yan Zhaoge navigated through the Pill Hall to locate the Purple Divine Pavilion.
The Profound Sky Purple Golden Furnace might be able to open many important departments of the Pill Hall. However, it had no navigation function.
Cloud Conquest Emperor and He Mian looked at each other. Both of them could see the surprise in each other’s eyes.
However, the two of them did not speak at all. Their gaze returned onto Yan Zhaoge, and silently watched him.
Yan Zhaoge could feel their concentrated gaze, but he chose to ignore it.
As he was observing the radiating starry sky in front of him, he asked, “Which person from Roving Jade Heavens came here?”
Cloud Emperor and his disciple didn’t plan on hiding it.
“Other than my master, Jun Emperor had also arrived.” He Mian replied with a calm expression.
Yan Zhaoge nodded, “Senior apprentice-uncle Long is also
here.”
Jun Emperor, also known as Chun Jun Emperor, was Long Xueji’s emperor title after he managed to push the Immortal Door, and ascended to the True Immortal Realm.
“Profound Emperor, Vine Emperor and senior apprentice-granduncle Long didn’t come?” Yan Zhaoge raised his hand and wrote in the void. The runes scriptures transformed from light did not disappitate after being formed.
Tranquil Emperor and Magnificent Emperor not coming were within his expectations.
They were wounded by the Female Emperor – Jie Kongming in the Nine Underworlds. Even if their wound had recovered, they needed to rest.
Prime Clear martial art practitioners were very precise in killing others. However, they weren’t proficient in taking care of themselves.
Especially those sword practitioners that cultivated the lineage’s Numinous Treasure Four Swords.
Numinous Treasure Four Swords were extremely fierce and brutal. It might be beneficial for killing enemies, but it also took a huge toll on the martial art practitioner’s body.
If one wasn’t careful, they might possibly hurt themselves.
If one were to purely cultivate the Numinous Treasure Four Swords, maintaining such a strong sword intent would ultimately take a huge toll on themselves. The sword’s attacks might possess extraordinary power, but it wouldn’t be able to bear with long fights. Normally, only a few swords would be used.
It had to be cultivated together with the New Era Five Scriptures. They had to rely on New Era Five Scriptures’ in order to help with the conditioning of their health, and store vitality at the same time. With that, only would they be able to withstand the huge consumption.
However, even with conditioning and recovery, it lost to Jade Clear lineage and Grand Clear lineage under most circumstances.
Cloud Emperor and He Mian were focused on looking at the runes Yan Zhaoge wrote. When he heard Yan Zhaoge’s question, He Mian replied while looking, “Profound Sovereign, Spring Emperor and senior apprentice-granduncle have not come out from seclusion yet. I don’t know if they can manage to catch up. Instead…”
After he paused a little, he continued, “Lofty Sovereign came as well.”
“Lofty Sovereign?” Yan Zhaoge’s finger that was writing the runes came to a temporary halt, “Lofty Sovereign, Zhang Buxu?”
He Mian pretended not to hear Yan Zhaoge directly calling Zhang Buxu’s name.
The Cloud Conquest Emperor nodded, “It is Daoist Zhang indeed.”
During the past, Lofty Sovereign, Zhang Buxu was listed among the Roving Jade Seven along with Profound Emperor Gao Qingxuan and Cloud Emperor that had established the Roving Jade Heavens. He was Prime Clear lineage’s Profound Immortal expert.
However, just as World Beyond Worlds had experienced a division, Roving Jade Heavens experienced similar things.
Overall, Roving Jade Heaven’s attitude towards the Immortal Court was fierce and tough.
However, there were some Prime Clear lineage’s experts who were more friendly towards the Immortal Court. They tend to advocate World beyond World’s way of thinking, slow and remain low profile.
Among them, one of the representatives was one of the Roving Jade Seven, Lofty Sovereign.
After that, because of the other top notch bigwigs’s disagreement, they ended up in a division. It got halted when the Lofty Sovereign left the Roving Jade Heavens.
However, just like how Exalted Wood Shao Junhuang and the others did not join the Roving Jade Heavens, the Lofty Sovereign did not join the World beyond Worlds.
This Prime Clear bigwig was the same as Profound Sovereign Gao Qingxuan and Yan Zhaoge’s grandmother Di Qinglian. They were Roving Jade Heavens’ old Grand Master, Vine Sovereign’s personal disciple.
Sadly, they strayed on different paths in ideologies, which caused them to venture into uncharted paths.
During the past, the Vine Emperor almost wanted to chase all her disciples away.
Di Qinglian had perished when she was very young, and the Lofty Sovereign had betrayed her. As for the Profound Sovereign, he had many ideologies that were different from the Vine Emperor, which caused her to be very sorrowful. This was why she paid an exceptional amount of attention to her last disciple. However, her last disciple had also perished when he was very young, which caused her to hate the Sword Sovereign – Yue Zhenbei very deeply.
For the Roving Jade Heavens, the Lofty Sovereign was considered a taboo figure.
Yan Zhaoge couldn’t help but feel surprised when he heard that the Lofty Sovereign was coming to the Pill Hall. He turned around and looked at the Cloud Emperor and his disciple.
He Mian said, “The Lofty Sovereign found his own clues, and came on his own. The clues he possesses might be more than what we have.”
“Although my ideals are different from those of the same generation, and I disagree with Daoist Zhang’s choice, he still hadn’t become a heretic yet.” Cloud Emperor said peacefully, “From the looks of it, the Pill Hall’s news hasn’t been found out by the heretic demons yet. From this, we can tell that Daoist Zhang is also interested in this place.”
Yan Zhaoge’s facial expression relaxed. He turned around and continued writing the runes, “I’m not afraid of him having intentions on this place. As long as the heretics don’t get wind of it, and the news is just circulating inside the orthodox Daoism, anyone can get their portion of harvest as long as they have the capability to do so.”
With the last stroke, Yan Zhaoge’s palm pushed forward.
A beautiful verse of runes transformed into light beams, and fell into the radiant starry sky in front.
After a short while, the radiant starry skies started to circulate. The starlight that was so vast started to rise and fall.
After that, an empty vortex appeared in the center of the starry skies.
Yan Zhaoge summoned his Profound Sky Purple Golden Furnace again, and threw it into the vortex.
At the next moment, boundless radiance shot out from the bottom of the vortex, and thoroughly brightened the whole dark cosmos. It turned everything into purple.
Yan Zhaoge was expressionless. After staring at that purple light for a while, he descended into the purple light, and sunk into the vortex together with the purple light.
The Cloud Conquest Emperor did not say anything, and followed Yan Zhaoge.
He Mian did the same when he saw it.
When the purple radiance had dissipated, an attic appeared in front of Yan Zhaoge.
The attic wasn’t huge. It’s design was very normal. It was hard to imagine that the vast starry sky was its outer appearance.
Here, there was a stale aura.
It was until Yan Zhaoge and the others arrived here that life force appeared.
Yan Zhaoge looked at his surroundings. His expression was subtle.
“This is the legendary Purple Divine Pavilion, which is the centre of the Heavenly Court’s Divine Palace’s Pill Hall before the Grand Calamity?” As an expert with the absolute highest position in the Roving Jade Heavens, the Cloud Conquest Emperor would naturally come in contact with many secrets and information.
He checked the pagoda out.
“If the hall spirit of the Pill Hall has not perished yet, it should be here, right?’

POSTED ON AUGUST 3, 2020 BY MAXIMUS
“Hall spirit…”
Yan Zhaoge was in a trance for a moment, but quickly recovered.
“Normally, he should be here.” He nodded.
Before the Grand Calamity, the Heavenly Court’s Divine Palace’s few core buildings would have their own hall spirits which were used to maintain the circulation of daily life. The Heavenly Court’s experts wouldn’t need to purposely watch over them.
Although the hall spirit itself had spiritual consciousness, it had no intelligence. Unlike creatures of intelligence that had their own independent consciousness, thought
and memories, the hall spirit could only do things mechanically.
The Cloud Conquest Emperor seemed to have thought of something, and went deep in thought.
Yan Zhaoge was walking around in the pavilion. His fingers swiped gently on the tables and chairs.
He wrote one after another runes in the air. The runes sunk into the void of the pavilion. Before it could come in contact with the building itself, it dissipated.
Cloud Emperor and He Mian silently watched Yan Zhaoge’s actions. They did not interrupt him, nor did they snatch with him.
After a while, Yan Zhaoge shook his head, “I’m unable to refine this place to control the Pill Hall. There seems to be a layer blocking my path. Although it does work a little, it’s still far from succeeding.”
“If the hall spirit had already perished, then I might be able to succeed despite using up lots of time and effort.” Cloud Emperor muttered, “If you can’t completely refine it, that means the hall spirit is still alive…”
He Mian frowned, “However, the hall spirit doesn’t seem to be here. If it wasn’t hibernating after being gravely wounded, does that mean it left the Purple Divine Pavilion?”
He looked at his master with some uncertainty.
“Indeed. However, based on normal circumstances, it shouldn’t happen at all.” Cloud Emperor turned around and looked at Yan Zhaoge, “You said beforehand that something is weird about this Pill Hall itself. Unfortunately, from the looks of it, it seems like it’s true.”
Yan Zhaoge lifted his head up to look at the top part of the pavilion while pondering silently.
He Mian understood what he was doing. On his face, an expression of disbelief appeared, “The hall spirit of the Pill Hall has its own intelligence?”
“Not only does it have intelligence, it even condensed itself to become a soul, and goes wandering outside of its mind during the daylight,” said Cloud Emperor.
The “mind” he was referring to was naturally the Purple Divine Pavilion the three of them were in.
“Although it can leave the Purple Divine Pavilion, it still can’t escape the Pill Hall’s area. It can only be active around the internal hall’s universe.” Cloud Emperor let out a sigh, “The person that came in here before us isn’t a Heavenly Court’s survivor before the Grand Calamity, nor is it an outsider like us.”
