History's Strongest Senior Brother c1-1474

  Of course, those that had the capability to walk this path would not necessarily walk down this path. It all depended on their will and environmental condition.

  Remaining in the current realm for a long time would cause the martial art practitioner’s strength to remain on the same level as well. If the environment was dangerous for them, it would definitely be hard for them to do so.

  If there wasn’t the Profound Sovereign and the Vine Sovereign taking care of the Roving Jade Heavens, the Dragon Spring Emperor and the Cloud Conquest Emperor would not peacefully nurture their sword for a thousand years.

  After the Great Calamity, because of how aggressive and unyielding the Prime Clear Lineage was, they had lost many experts when fighting against the Immortal Court heretics.

  After that, they had also experienced an event like the division of the World beyond Worlds.

  Luckily, compared to the event that happened in the World beyond Worlds, the top-notch experts that left the Roving Jade Heavens were comparatively little. That was why the Roving Jade Heavens would have the current situation they were in now.

  Otherwise, if they hurt their foundations, things would be very difficult for them.

  “Did Chen Qianhua acquire the Heaven Opening Scripture and push open the Immortal Door?” the Sword Sovereign – Yue Zhenbei suddenly remembered something. He glimpsed through everyone and finally lay his gaze upon Long Xueji.

  When Long Xueji was fighting against Chen Qianhua in the Pill Hall earlier, the Lofty Sovereign – Zhang Buxu appeared. Yue Zhenbei arrived slightly later than him.

  Although his mind was focused on fighting against Zhang Buxu, Yue Zhenbei could tell Chen Qianhua’s difference when he saw Long Xueji and Chen Qianhua fighting.

  “Indeed, it’s the Heaven Opening Scripture.” Long Xueji nodded, “In fact, he might have passed the Immortal Mortal Tribulation after learning the Heaven Opening Scripture.”

  Yue Zhenbei’s expression became serious. After contemplating for a while, he turned around to look at Yan Zhaoge and the others and said, “Just like what all of you had said, the things that happened in the World beyond Worlds were caused by Elder Yang of the Restful Immortal Valley. Chen Qianhua obtaining the Heaven Opening Scripture was also because of him.”

  History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 1277 - Abyss of the Nine Underworlds Devilish Sea

  Chen Qianhua’s strength was already outstanding, to begin with. After he had obtained the Heaven Opening Scripture, it meant that he had obtained nine of the Primordial Heavenly Scriptures, with Peerless Heavenly Scripture being the last one yet to obtain. It meant that his strength grew again.

  Even Long Xueji who had the same reputation as him, and had pushed open the Immortal Door earlier than him felt exhausted when fighting against him.

  The Prime Clear Sword Arts countered the Primordial Later Heaven Six Scriptures. The basis of the world which contained extremely strong defense against other supreme arts were like nothing when facing against the Numinous Treasure Four Swords. It might not even be as effective as a single Early Heaven supreme art like the Bright Beginning Bright Emptiness Form.

  Chen Qianhua had no intention of blocking as well. Instead, he combined the Early Heaven Three Scriptures into one and displayed a majestic and boundless power enough to split the heavens. It was effective to counter Long Xueji’s attacks with his attack.

  He had just cultivated the Heaven Opening Scripture and still wasn’t exactly proficient in it yet. As a result, he wasn’t able to defeat Long Xueji’s Prime Clear Sword Art that Long Xueji was very proficient in.

  However, with the support of the Primordial Heavenly Scripture, Long Xueji wasn’t able to gain an advantage over Chen Qianhua.

  The Immortal Exterminating Sword was the same as the Prime Clear Taiyi Fist, they were able to break through all arts. They could disperse the Primordial Heavenly Scripture’s prying ability up to a certain degree. However, it could not be completely cut off.

  It made Long Xueji feel that his actions were all within the opponent’s predictions.

  Luckily, the Numinous Treasured Four Swords were extremely fierce and ruthless. They could cut through all kinds of obstacles. On many occasions, while Chen Qianhua could predict Long Xueji’s movements, he could only dodge beforehand. He was unable to forcefully dissolve the attack.

  However, even if that’s the case, Long Xueji felt like he was being constrained in the battle. It was hard for him to display his best abilities.

  “Did Concealed Sovereign nourish Chen Qianhua’s foundation?” Long Xueji asked Yan Zhaoge and the others.

  Yan Zhaoge and Yue Zhenbei looked at each other. He answered, “We aren’t sure yet as of now. However, the two of them must have some sort of relationship. The Concealed Sovereign should be paying attention to Chen Qianhua. Only with that explanation, the Concealed Sovereign can pass the Heaven Opening Scripture over to Chen Qianhua when he needs it, even if the Concealed Sovereign is still in seclusion within the Restful Immortal Valley.”

  “If the Concealed Sovereign had also cultivated the Primordial Heavenly Scripture, then we must be wary of him.” Long Xueji nodded.

  The Concealed Sovereign – Yang Ce’s cultivation realm was higher than Chen Qianhua as of now. Naturally, he was able to identify more information through the Primordial Heavenly Scripture.

  If the Concealed Sovereign had really cultivated the Primordial Heavenly Scripture, he would definitely have a clash against Chen Qianhua in the future.

  Many people can cultivate Primordial Heavenly Scripture. However, in the end, only one person could cultivate it until the point of great mastery. If one person were to succeed first, the others’ pathway would be blocked.

  However, that’s something that would only happen in the future.

  After discussing for a while, Yan Di, Nie Jingshen, and Yu Ye were sitting in a lotus position within the hall. They were quietly inhaling and exhaling with controlled breathing, refining the essence of the pills that they had absorbed earlier.

  Yan Zhaoge was still figuring out the mechanics of the inside and outside of the Pill Hall in order to strengthen his control against the hall.

  As for the Exalted Fire – Suo Mingzhang, Yan Zhaoge had already sent him a message.

  While Suo Mingzhang did not gather here, he gave a reply.

  While the people of the Immortal Court arrived here late, they had already reached the outskirts of the void where the Pill Hall was located and had coincidentally met up with Suo Mingzhang again.

  Suo Mingzhang had brought them all away and told Yan Zhaoge there was no need to wait for him. In the future, he would go to the World beyond Worlds.

  After returning from the outskirts of the void back to the dao universe, Long Xueji took Yu Ye along with him and bid farewell, and returned to the Roving Jade Heavens.

  Yan Zhaoge and the others returned to the World beyond Worlds.

  …………

  In the vast Nine Underworlds, the black devilish breeze filled the air. Within it, sharp red glows flickered non-stop.

  The Nine Underworlds was so huge that it seemed to be boundless.

  By continuously venturing within, and traversing through layers of space, it naturally had its own core area.

  In the middle of the scorched lands of the Devilish Continent, there was a sea. The sea waters were black, and its surface was smooth like that of a mirror. There weren’t any wave ripples, and it seemed to be solidified, just like the earth.

  It was hard to describe how vast this devilish sea was. It seemed to be able to contain the myriad of heavens and earth.

  Even the worlds like World beyond Worlds and the Roving Jade Heavens were able to fit in, and there would even be space left to put in other stuff.

  This place was peaceful and quiet. It wasn’t like outside of the sea, where Devilish qi was running rampant and was filled with ruthlessness and sinisterness.

  However, deep within seemed to contain a deeper level of horror. It ma
de the numerous top-notch Great Devils not daring enough to approach it.

  Below the calm black sea surface, space was constantly folding and changing. It was hard to determine how deep or shallow it was.

  Here, space seemed to not have up, down, left, or right.

  However, going “downwards” seemed to be a layer of profound world after another.

  It looked like the Illusory Thirty-Three Heavens or the nine layers of Heavenly Imperial.

  However, compared to those that required you to go “upwards”, this place was a place which one would constantly go “downwards”. The deeper they descend, the more profound and ancient it would be. It really made one deeply attracted to its profundities.

  Within this Devilish Sea, there was a part of the space which was empty and had nothing else. Only an ancient tree stood there.

  This ancient tree seemed like it had wilted. It had already gone bald, and the leaves had long fallen down from the tree. Only a tree with a weird shape was left.

  However, below the ancient tree, there was a huge tree shade.

  From the shadow of the ancient tree, intense life force seemed to leak out from it as if boundless lives were being very active within.

  Within the Devilish Sea, there was no such concept like time.

  The shadow beneath the ancient tree suddenly moved and disappeared from the floor.

  Only a shadowless wilted old tree remained on the spot.

  When that shadow reappeared, it had already reached the other space within the Devilish Sea.

  However, the space it was located in was completely different compared to the Devilish Sea and the entire Nine Underworlds.

  This place was just like the mortal realm. There weren’t any traces or hints that were related to devils.

  There were many different kinds of worlds within this space. Within every single world, numerous living beings were living within.

  The shadow didn’t seem to be surprised anymore. He just went straight towards one of the worlds within.

  Within the range of mountains, the scene of spring was present. The spring lights were very refreshing. It made one feel like they had returned to the mortal realm.

  On a normal-looking mountain halfway up the hill, mountain rivers were flowing down. Beside the river, there was a huge piece of rock, and the rock was filled with green mosses.

  An old man was lying on the rock and dozed off.

  When the shadow appeared in front of him, the old man opened his eyes. He lazily stretched his waist, “You found her yet?”

  The shadow landed on the ground and fused together with the old man’s shadow as one. From the shadow, a voice resounded, “I was late. She escaped.”

  “It’s always been us meddling with the affairs of the mortal realm. It’s really rare for someone to come meddle in our affairs.” The old man laughed.

  A voice resounded from the shadow, “I will capture her for sure. She still hasn’t made any developments yet.”

  “The problems arose from her. If you want to find her, how about you go to the mortal realm’s Three Clear Lineage’s World beyond Worlds? She might still be eyeing on that place.” said the old man, “That place isn’t peaceful now. The situation is really chaotic, and they’re all plotting against each other. Their defense against us would be very loose.”

  The shadow said, “I had this intention as well. Other than her, there are a few other things that I can do together in one go.”

  “It’s great that you’re able to do more things. Even if you aren’t able to do so, don’t be too rash. There are still very long days ahead. There’s no need to rush everything in such a short amount of time.” The old man stood on the huge rock again, “If you remain there for a long time, you might be noticed by someone.”

  “Naturally.” After the shadow finished his sentence, he shook slightly and vanished from this part of the world.

  The old man closed his eyes and continued his nap.

  …………

  After a long period of time wandering around, Yan Zhaoge directed the Pill Hall back to the World beyond Worlds.

  The Pill Hall was left outside of the cosmic void outside of the World beyond Worlds.

  Yan Di and Nie Jingshen were cultivating in seclusion within the Pill Hall.

  Yan Zhaoge and the Sword Sovereign – Yue Zhenbei returned to the World beyond Worlds together.

  History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 1278 - The Power Structure Would Be Gone Forever

  When Yan Zhaoge and the Sword Sovereign returned to the World beyond Worlds, the first thing they confirmed was whether the Exalted Earth Luminary – Jiang Shen had returned or not.

  After arranging an appointment to meet up together with the Astro Sovereign by the Restful Immortal Valley later, Yan Zhaoge and the Sword Sovereign split up. One returned to the Eastern Vast Heaven Terrority, while the other returned to the Kunlun Mountain’s Northern High Peak’s Jade Capital Crag.

  Now that the situation was a huge mess, it involved many things and many people. No one could predict what would happen in the future.

  If Yan Zhaoge and the others wanted to safely survive this apocalypse, they would need to prepare themselves well.

  After arriving at the Broad Creed Mountain, and meeting Yuan Zhengfeng and the others, Yan Zhaoge explained the situation.

  Of course, he had avoided the matter regarding the Immortal Court heretics as well as the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord. He only referred to them as strong enemies.

  After understanding the general situation, Yuan Zhengfeng and others realized how serious the matter had gotten.

  “My dad is still in seclusion within the Pill Hall. Please handle the situation, Chief.” said Yan Zhaoge as he looked at Yuan Zhengfeng.

  He had to prepare many things, and wouldn’t be able to take care of the Broad Creed Mountain for a long period of time.

  Yuan Zhengfeng noticed something. After he asked the others to leave, he asked, “Zhaoge, do you have an idea already?”

  Yan Zhaoge nodded, “It’s still too early to say it now, since it’s still too early to say it. I also don’t have the confidence that it would succeed. Let’s just say that we can try it out.”

  “The enemy’s ranks are huge, and they are very menacing. They also wouldn’t give up that easily. Even if we can take care of the Exalted Earth Luminary and the Concealed Sovereign, we would still have mountains of problems piled up.”

  “To avoid such a tragic fate where we can only watch them defeat us, we would have to find a different way of doing things,” said Yan Zhaoge lightly. “This matter is really important. We have to do things in secret to prevent our actions from being leaked out.”

  After saying his plan, Yuan Zhengfeng’s face was filled with shock, “Such a huge plan? No wonder even someone like you doesn’t have the confidence to do so.”

  The old chief nodded, “You’ve been avoiding talking about your enemy. I guess that it’s the foe that the Southeastern Exalt had mentioned before, right? I have yet to reach the Exalt Martial Saint Realm, which is why you’re so careful when talking.”

  “Just do whatever you want to your heart’s content. I’ll help you with the preparations.”

  Yan Zhaoge said, “Thanks, Chief.”

  After discussing with Yuan Zhengfeng for a while, Yan Zhaoge came out. Ah Hu was already taking guard by the hall’s door.

  “Ah Hu, go to the Dragon Butterfly Valley to make preparations first. I need your aid in some preparations. I’ll be there very soon.” Yan Zhaoge assigned him with a task, “When you’re going there, make a stop by the Yuanzhou City. Bring someone called Xiao Ai along with you to wait for me by the Dragon Butterfly Valley. When the time comes, I still have matters to assign you to.”

  Ah Hu answered seriously when he saw how serious Yan Zhaoge’s tone was, “Yes, young master.”

  Seeing Ah Hu leave, Yan Zhaoge went to visit his mother, Xue Chuqing.

  “Mars Halberd had already mentioned about the peri
shment of the Great Grand Master when he arrived at the World beyond Worlds earlier.” Xue Chuqing’s expression was calm. She held Yan Zhaoge’s hand and sat down, and said quietly, “However, because of how rushed the time was, the Mars Halberd only told me about this matter hastily. Tell me about the details of what happened when you’re free.”

  Yan Zhaoge nodded, “I’ll tell you everything from the beginning. Please do look into the matter.”

  The son explained everything that had happened, while the mother listened quietly.

  After finishing, Yan Zhaoge said, “You can use your Area Latitude Formation again.”

  When the Astro Sovereign had previously returned to the World beyond Worlds and had provided the methods to locate the whereabouts of the Exalted Fire, Xue Chuqing had stopped laying down the Area Latitude Formation.

  After all, this formation was related to the Exalted Solar Luminary – Gao Han. The things contained within might contain his plot.

  When Yan Zhaoge mentioned the old stories, Xue Chuqing who had already known of his plan immediately understood what he meant, “Lay down this Area Latitude Formation to mask our true intentions?”

  “Exactly.” Yan Zhaoge snickered.

  Xue Chuqing nodded and said, “I’ll handle this matter myself just in case we benefited someone else.”

  “After completing your task, go directly to the Pill Hall to meet up with dad.” said Yan Zhaoge, “Although our opponent’s main target is the Exalted Fire, they would still kill the two of us if they were to encounter us.”

  After he finished the planning with Xue Chuqing, Yan Zhaoge did not delay any further. After saying goodbye to Xue Chuqing, he went to the back mountains of the Broad Creed Mountain.

  His eyes were focused. He wrote one after another complicated spirit patterns.

  The numerous spirit patterns materialized within the void. After that, they fell onto the ground and disappeared.

  Compared to his speed of laying down formations from last time, Yan Zhaoge’s movements seemed slow this time.

  When he was writing halfway, he had even stopped a few times to think about stuff.
