  As Feng Yunsheng returned, Yan Zhaoge asked her, “How much?”

  Just listening to this question, it was like it was totally random, but Feng Yunsheng clearly understood Yan Zhaoge’s meaning as she answered softly, “As I was weakened and only able to hold on for a short period of time, I could only get a general approximate. Currently, Little Wan is at around seventy seven percent to eighty two percent.”

  Yan Zhaoge raised his head slightly, considering, “Then it can basically be considered as eighty percent, or from the lowest base of seventy seven percent for safety reasons.”

  He lowered his head, looking at Feng Yunsheng, “Just watching from the side, it would be useless. You had to experience it personally from clashing with her. Now that you’ve already done so, with the guidance of the Extreme Yin Scripture, do you have confidence of breaking Meng Wan’s supreme Extreme Yin Arts?”

  Feng Yunsheng pondered earnestly for a moment before saying, “In the current situation, I have less than fifty percent confidence. A year later, having raised my strength once more and perfected my supreme Extreme Yin Arts, I would have confidence.”

  Yan Zhaoge smiled slightly, “A year later, Meng Wan will also have improved, and at the same time maybe even comprehended even stronger supreme Extreme Yin Arts. However, even if she has new moves, with them originating from the same source as her old ones, some similarities present, your chances would still be great.”

  “Do you still remember what I said to you earlier? This is only the first half, perhaps even the preparatory warmup phase before things can be considered to have officially started.”

  Feng Yunsheng nodded, “You can rest easy; I understand.”

  She turned and glanced at the Extreme Yin Crown on Meng Wan’s head once more before sighing softly.

  Yan Zhaoge similarly looked at the Extreme Yin Crown on Meng Wan’s head, his gaze sweeping over the group of the Sacred Sun Clan as he thought, “After everything is in order, I should be embarking on my trip to the Extreme Northern Lands. Hopefully, the situation will be as I projected. That way, I would be able to first send you a gift. Consider it as our return gift for you attacking my Broad Creed Mountain, at the same time also a congratulatory one for today.”

  The curtains closed on the sixth Extreme Yin Bout.

  On this day every year, it was inevitable that there would be those who were happy and those who were troubled. This year, it was naturally no exception.

  Amidst its joy, the Sacred Sun Clan could finally let out a sigh of relief. Its sharpness which had faced a setback at Broad Creed Mountain’s hands could finally flourish once more.

  With the Sacred Sun Clan’s strength rising, Broad Creed Mountain, Jade Sea City and Infinite Boundless Mountain inevitably had to adjust its overall strategies targeted against them.

  Turbid Wave Pavilion was comparatively calm, but still inevitably somewhat desolate.

  The ones with the most complicated feelings were those of the Heavenly Thunder Hall.

  Against the pressure of the tripartite alliance, with the strength of its ally rising, it meant that they were also left with more breathing space.

  However, with their originally already strong ally growing even stronger, they themselves yet not rising in strength much, everyone of the Heavenly Thunder Hall could not help but feel worried.

  More worrying was the fact that while their own Maiden of Extreme Yin had grown stronger, her opponents were even more fearsome.

  Those who had dominated in the past were still dominating, and even gaining in dominance.

  Meanwhile, the newcomers who had appeared this year were even more dazzling.

  As they themselves were improving, their opponents too were improving, but at a rate of improvement even higher than theirs. From a relative standpoint, that was equivalent to them having regressed.

  The hope before their eyes grew more and more illusory, to the extent of the entire Heavenly Thunder Hall vaguely feeling that the situation of the Extreme Yin Bout was an unsalvageable one.

  However defeated and conflicted the Heavenly Thunder Hall felt was not of Yan Zhaoge’s concerns. What he was concerned about was whether the local snakehead on his way north, the Heavenly Thunder Hall, would interfere with him.

  With this year’s Extreme Yin Bout having ended, everything that needed to be done already done, now was the time for him to rush to the East Sea.

  When the things that he required had all been gathered and properly prepared, it would be the day he headed north.

  The method for restoring Shi Jun and his mother, the legacy of the Glacial Dragon Martial Saint, the ‘gift’ he was preparing to give the Sacred Sun Clan-all of them lay there.

  HSSB334: Broad Creed Mountain’s new Maiden of Extreme Yin

  After the Extreme Yin Bout had ended, Elder Mo brought Feng Yunsheng back to Broad Creed Mountain, while Yan Zhaoge travelled alongside the martial practitioners of Jade Sea City to the Water Domain.

  Most of the things that he had arranged to be prepared earlier had already been gathered, with only a final few things lacking. Currently, they were still being gathered.

  Therefore, Yan Zhaoge first headed to the Water Domain. After all his preparations were complete, going by the sea route, crossing through the East Sea and the North Sea, he would thereby head to the Extreme Northern Lands.

  On the East Sea, there were people waiting for him.

  Broad Creed Mountain had obtained a new Maiden of Extreme Yin, currently already kept by Fu Enshu’s side, at the same time waiting for Yan Zhaoge to test and evaluate her, as well as create a training program specially tailored for her.

  Having arrived in the Water Domain, the person who received Yan Zhaoge was the ‘Seven Seas Young Master’ Song Chao.

  The two could already be considered as extremely familiar now, Yan Zhaoge smiling as he saw him, “Senior Brother Song, sorry for the disturbance.”

  Song Chao also smiled, “Junior Brother Yan, no need to be polite.”

  After taking their leave of Chen Suting and the others, they headed to the Outer East Sea. Viewing the unique flair of the sea country as they travelled, Yan Zhaoge expressed great amazement at these scenes.

  Simply in terms of territorial size alone, of the eight great Domains of the Eight Extremities World, Heaven, Earth, Wind, Thunder, Water, Fire, Mountain and Lake, the Water Domain was the largest.

  However, more than half of the Water Domain consisted solely of the sea.

  Out of habit, the Heaven and Fire Domains had five Regions, the Wind Domain being divided into four Regions other than the inhabitable Great Western Desert, the Thunder Domain consisting of six Regions.

  The Mountain Domain, divided by four great mountain ranges, had each of its regions referred to as dominions, thereby being known as the four dominions.

  The regions of the Lake Domain were known as ‘paths’, the six Paths of the Lake Domain also referred to by directions.

  The Water Domain was the most special. Because its structures were mostly built on islands, the ruling Jade Sea City also named ‘City’, the Water Domain was divided into ‘Cities’.

  A region surrounded each individual City on the mainland, or with a City on a massive island, its influence and control enveloped the vast region around it with it as the centre.

  There were nine of such Cities in the Water Domain, being known together as the Water Domain’s Nine Cities.

  Of these, three lay on the mainland, six on the sea. There was one each on the Inner North Sea and the Inner South Sea, and six including Jade Sea City on the Inner East Sea.

  While the islands where the Water Domain’s Nine Cities were located could be said to be islands, their area could be said to be extremely vast, resembling small mainlands of their own.

  “Junior Brother Yan, if you want to encounter the Flame Devils on the East Sea, there are some things that you have to
pay attention to,” Song Chao said as he walked, “While the six great Sacred Grounds have all dispatched experts to stand guard and slay the Flame Devils on the Inner East Sea, there are still occasionally fish that slip out of the net. While they are always hunted down and killed afterwards, they can cause great destruction within a short period of time.”

  In coming to the East Sea this time, Yan Zhaoge had come under the name of encountering the Flame Devils, as he nodded as he heard this, “Many thanks for Senior Brother Song’s reminder. Before coming, I also had an understanding of this situation. I will keep it in mind.”

  Song Chao said, “It’s good if you know about it. Speaking of which, it is fortunate that the descent of the Nine Underworlds was stopped in time and the Decimating Abyss also cleaned up. Otherwise, our Eight Extremities World would inevitably be facing enemies from both the front and back.”

  Yan Zhaoge swivelled his head to look towards the mainland in the west, “While the Decimating Abyss was destroyed, we still have to stay vigilant of the Nine Underworlds, While the first hand they extended was hacked off, the Nine Underworlds Evil Devils are proficient at bewitching the hearts of humans, finding the weaknesses in people’s hearts. Their strength in infiltrating and corrupting the minds of others is much too strong, and not something that can be guarded against easily.”

  Song Chao sighed, “That’s right…”

  He sent Yan Zhaoge all the way, even sending him from the Inner East Sea of the Water Domain all the way to the Outer East Sea, meeting up with Fu Enshu and greeting her before going on his way.

  After Song Chao had left, Fu Enshu looked at Yan Zhaoge, “While I have already heard about the results of the Extreme Yin Bout, how was the process? Did we achieve our projected goal?”

  Yan Zhaoge replied, “We have basically achieved it.”

  Fu Enshu said, “That’s good then.”

  “Since you have come, wait here for a moment. I’ll call Liuhua over; you examine her a bit.”

  Yin Liuhua was that Maiden of Extreme Yin discovered by the former East Sea’s First Seat Elder, Chang Zhen.

  Very quickly, she appeared before Yan Zhaoge and Fu Enshu.

  She looked to be around seventeen or eighteen years of age, still being a Martial Artist. Having started out as a solitary practitioner, she had learnt from her former Master who had possessed some ability, but had just died at the hands of the Flame Devils some days ago.

  Yin Liuhua was rather tall for a female, her appearance basically considered proper. Seeing Yan Zhaoge now, she respectfully bowed to him.

  Yan Zhaoge’s fame had been great in recent days, rumours of him even spreading far on the East Sea.

  While she didn’t understand the situation exactly, even before entering Broad Creed Mountain, Yin Liuhua had already heard the famed name of this senior apprentice-brother.

  After she had joined Broad Creed Mountain, while Fu Enshu had not mentioned it, some other Broad Creed Mountain martial practitioners stationed in the East Sea had reminded her that while the Yan Zhaoge before her was still young, his level of authority within the clan was on the same level as Fu Enshu.

  It was even to the point that in some areas, Yan Zhaoge even possessed greater authority than Fu Enshu.

  Having consecutively achieved many great deeds, based on his current age and cultivation level, within the clan, it was already to the point that there was nothing left that he could be rewarded with.

  Following the major tribulation of Broad Creed Mountain, having performed a great merit once more, Yan Zhaoge had once more made Broad Creed Mountain’s history, being granted the right to freely enter the fourth level of the Martial Repository.

  This was an unprecedented matter, not having occurred since Broad Creed Mountain’s founding.

  Before Yan Zhaoge, only the Chief and the Martial Repository’s First Seat had possessed the right to freely enter the fourth level of the Martial Repository.

  Other than retired Chiefs like Yuan Zhengfeng, even the Grand Elders of the clan were not able to enter the fourth level of the Martial Repository as they liked.

  Yin Liuhua had still yet to hear of some specific knowledge, but even if she knew, not having personally witnessed or experienced things, it would also be very hard for her to understand how Yan Zhaoge could have attained such a high position at such a young age as a newly ascended Martial Grandmaster.

  However, this did not obstruct her from realising Yan Zhaoge’s weighty worth.

  Moreover, even if she could not realise how remarkable Yan Zhaoge was, she also knew that his father, Yan Di, had currently already officially become the new Chief of Broad Creed Mountain.

  Yan Zhaoge appraised Yin Liuhua with a glance, his gaze finally landing on her wrist.

  Yin Liuhua instantly felt as though Yan Zhaoge’s gaze had turned tangible, placed on her wrist, reading her pulse, checking on her body’s situation.

  After a while, Yan Zhaoge retracted his gaze, saying to Fu Enshu, “Her foundation in Extreme Yin power is not bad, and something can be forged of it. However, her current cultivation base is rather low, and having started out late, it would be very hard for her to catch up to the others.”

  “Last year’s Fan Qiu of Turbid Wave Pavilion and this year’s Yun Xiuqing of the Sacred Sun Clan, despite only having debuted in the fourth and fifth Extreme Yin Bouts respectively, had already been raised by their respective clans for very long, with it not just being a matter of one or two years.”

  “Not mentioning Fan Qiu, by my calculations, the Sacred Sun Clan’s Yun Xiuqing who suddenly appeared out of nowhere this year was probably discovered by the Sacred Sun Clan just a short time after junior apprentice-sister Feng left the World Illuminating Peak. Having discovered her, the Sacred Sun Clan began to groom her with Meng Wan filling up junior apprentice-sister Feng’s position and her filling up the position Meng Wan had left behind.”

  HSSB335: On the North Sea

  Yin Liuhua’s innate talent was not something that Yan Zhaoge was too clear on. From what Elder Chang Zheng had said though, as soon as she had stepped onto the path of the martial dao, she had displayed extraordinary talent.

  After checking, Yan Zhaoge was also satisfied with her inborn Extreme Yin power.

  Although it was still below the level of Fan Qiu or Meng Wan, it was still not bad, being on a similar level to Cheng Suting, Nian Lei and Ling Hui.

  With this, as Yan Zhaoge’s various methods helped to make up for her deficiencies, her future attainments would also not be low.

  The only problem was that Yin Liuhua’s current cultivation base was too low.

  While cultivation base was not the only deciding factor, it was a greatly important factor affecting a Maiden of Extreme Yin’s ability to communicate with the Extreme Yin Crown.

  Without even considering all the other problems, simply forming a connection with the Extreme Yin Crown required one to at least be in the Martial Scholar realm.

  The Sacred Sun Clan’s Yun Xiuqing was like this.

  Yet, even if it was Yun Xiuqing, even she had already attained a cultivation base of the outer aura Martial Scholar realm.

  Ignoring Meng Wan or Chen Suting who were already Xiantian Martial Scholars, Yun Xiuqing or Fan Qiu were both outer aura Martial Scholars. If they had to fight, at least it wouldn’t be entirely one-sided.

  But for the Yin Liuhua in front him, it could only be said that her starting point was too late.

  The current leaders certainly would not be waiting for those behind them to catch up. At all times, everyone was striving to improve.

  However, if there was enough time, with the support of Yan Zhaoge and Broad Creed Mountain’s resources, as long as she worked hard, she should at least be able to catch up to the other Maidens of Extreme Yin excluding Meng Wan and Feng Yunsheng.

  However, that development would take a relatively long amount of time. Considering the current high ten
sions in the Eight Extremities World, even Yan Zhaoge and Feng Yunsheng’s plans which were laid years in advance often felt rushed. It could only be imagined how much that would be magnified for Yin Liuhua.

  Fu Enshu said, “Catching up with Meng Wan will of course be difficult, but it isn’t impossible. After all, didn’t it take Yunsheng less than three years to get to her present point?”

  Yan Zhaoge glanced at Yin Liuhua, then replied, “Though it sounds easy, the reality will be much more difficult. It will also depend greatly on her.”

  Fu Enshu said, “Liuhua’s innate talent in the martial dao can be said to be pretty good. Her previous master can be said to have had some skill, but still slowed down her progress somewhat. Now that she has joined my Broad Creed Mountain, as long as she has the willpower, she will advance by leaps and bounds, such that catching up to the others will be a real possibility.”

  “Moreover, Yunsheng is now in a prime position. If we can obtain the Extreme Yin Crown, it will mark a new era for our clan. If Liuhua can be like that girl surnamed Yun and act as a helper for Yunsheng to increase our chances of success, that will already be enough.”

  Fu Enshu said this right in front of Yin Liuhua. Turning to face her, Fu Enshu said, “If you are able to surpass Yunsheng, the heavy responsibility of winning the Extreme Yin Crown will fall onto your shoulders. However, your starting point is much later than the others, so you will have to work even harder if you want to realize your ambitions.”

  Yin Liuhua looked at Fu Enshu, then at Yan Zhaoge. “Then, I’ll be troubling you and senior apprentice-brother Yan to teach me.”

  Yan Zhaoge calmly responded. “The training regimen you will undergo will be identical to senior-apprentice sister Feng’s.”

  “Logically speaking, you began cultivating much later, so you need to be even more vigorous in your cultivation. Only this way may you be able to catch up to senior apprentice-sister Feng. However, her cultivation base is already much higher, and her ability to withstand training is even more exceedingly high–often surpassing the limits of what others would think to be possible.”
