History's Strongest Senior Brother c1-1474

Their figures descended as they arrived in the vicinity of Yaochen Mountain, landing near the central mountainside.

  Yan Zhaoge’s ears shook slightly as he could hear the sound of flowing water in the distance.

  Following the sound of the water, a great waterfall very quickly appeared before them.

  Yan Zhaoge took out that half mirror he possessed. He saw that the mirror’s light still appeared rather dim. Clearly, having had much of its spiritual power depleted earlier, it was currently still in the midst of recovery.

  Still, having arrived in the vicinity of Yaochen Mountain, Yan Zhaoge had come to clearly feel the shaking and abnormalities in this half mirror that he had.

  Yan Zhaoge, Feng Yunsheng, Ah Hu and the others exchanged glances, nodding, “We have come to the right place.”

  As he infused his true essence within the half mirror, Yan Zhaoge observed the waterfall before him.

  Numerous streams of light flickered, gradually forming an illusory shadow which once again restored the fragmented mirror in his hands.

  A streak of light shot out from the surface of the mirror that was half illusory, half real, circulating and sweeping between the heavens and the earth.

  After a moment, the dispersed streak of light began congregating, coming together to form a single line which fell on a rock beneath the waterfall.

  The rock shuddered, and Yan Zhaoge instantly smiled.

  The streak of light from the centre of the mirror that resembled a line had connected to some existence beneath that rock.

  Yan Zhaoge pointed, sword-light flashing as that rock instantly broke apart.

  Treasured light instantly shot into the skies from within that shattered rock. Yan Zhaoge made a grabbing motion within the air, and a black shadow flew over, landing within his hand.

  It was precisely the other half of that fragmented mirror.

  Its shape, design and the spiritual qi and concept contained within were all exactly the same as the half mirror that Yan Zhaoge already had.

  Each being a half, they also joined perfectly together where they had disconnected. Clearly, they had previously formed a complete mirror surface, just having split into two parts after.

  Yan Zhaoge moved his hands together from the sides, piecing together the two halves of the mirror.

  Instantly, numerous streaks of treasured light shot out from the complete mirror surface, illuminating the heavens and the earth.

  All the space that was touched by this light actually distorted slightly.

  Yan Zhaoge’s eyes lit up, “Indeed, its original quality is great. The dimensional traversing technique inscribed on it is also a rather efficient one, being detailed as well as subtle.”

  “If the mirror had not been broken earlier, when it had been complete and flawless, executing a dimensional traversing technique with it, it would have been very beneficial to dimensional travel.”

  On the mirror’s surface, the words ‘Lofty Prestige’ appeared.

  Yan Zhaoge raised his brows, smiling, “Lofty Prestige Mirror, is it? Interesting. Now, I wonder where exactly my mother was from?”

  It could already be confirmed that Xue Chuqing had merely been a passing visitor with regard to the Floating Life World.

  According to the words his mother had left behind, Yan Zhaoge felt that she possibly came from the World beyond worlds that she had mentioned.

  If it indeed was such, that meant to say that martial practitioners below the Martial Saint realm lived within the World beyond worlds as well.

  Perhaps that place had its original inhabitants, possessing its own developing civilisation, also being separated by ordinary people and martial practitioners.

  It was just that in worlds like the Floating Life World, the Flame Devil World or the Eight Extremities World, wanting to ascend to the World beyond worlds, one either had to surpass the third level of the Martial Saint realm or rely on the help of some special treasure.

  This sort of treasure was naturally very difficult to find.

  Yan Zhaoge’s heart jolted slightly, “If we want to go over from here, it would be rather difficult, but if they want to come over from there, it seems not to be that difficult?”

  “It is just that taking the third level of the Martial Saint realm as the limit, if one does not surpass it, they will not be able to go to the World beyond worlds, but if they do, is it possible for them to continue remaining in that original world that they came from?”

  Yan Zhaoge was momentarily overtaken by countless thoughts, “What exactly has that Great Calamity made our heavens and earth into now?”

  “The Purple Sun Martial Saint of the Sacred Sun Clan, Zhang Chao-I didn’t hear of him having surpassed the third level of the Martial Saint realm that year ah…”

  After considering for a moment, Yan Zhaoge calmed his thoughts, refocusing his attention on the Lofty Prestige Mirror before him.

  “Go!” With a mere thought on Yan Zhaoge’s part, while the Lofty Prestige Mirror was half bright and half dim, it still released a stream of light which pierced straight up into the sky above.

  The stream of light abruptly dispersed within the air, forming numerous glows that resembled little shooting stars of varying sizes that scattered into their surroundings down below.

  Yan Zhaoge and the others concentrated, paying attention to the directions the many streaks of light were travelling in, capturing the most obvious one of them.

  “Towards the north, around fourteen thousand six hundred li from here,” As Yan Zhaoge observed the directions travelled in by the streaks of light, he also simultaneously analysed the order of the circulation of the spiritual qi flow between the heavens and earth of the Floating Life World.

  After calculating for a moment, Xu Fei nodded, “It is basically around that distance. The dimensional passageway leading back to the Eight Extremities World should be there.”

  “Still, the entrance to it is unceasingly changing. By the time we arrive there, the coordinates would probably have changed again.”

  Yan Zhaoge snapped his fingers, “It is fine. I have comprehended a bit of the natural laws on which it operates. Having arrived there, looking for it will be much easier. Moreover, we still have this Lofty Prestige Mirror to help us.”

  “Still…” Yan Zhaoge frowned slightly, raising his head to look at the sky where light was actually still agglomerated, having yet to completely disperse into the surroundings.

  Discovering the abnormalities here as well, the others also raised their heads and looked above them.

  There, space shook unceasingly, actually gradually beginning to tear apart.

  A terrifying dimensional force distorted unceasingly, shockingly ripping apart a massive tear in the sky above.

  Light flickered within that tear, only dissipating after a long time.

  As the light faded, that tear in space turned illusory, actually forming a dimensional passageway right before Yan Zhaoge and the others.

  “It does not lead to the Eight Extremities World, instead leading elsewhere,” Yan Zhaoge’s pupils dilated abruptly, “The strength of the dimensional power of the Floating Life World with regard to this other world was already perhaps rather weak at this moment. Others are also distorting space on the other side, the two forces just happening to converge at the same point, temporarily opening a dimensional passageway between the two worlds?”

  Gazing carefully, indistinct figures could shockingly be seen within that dimensional passageway as they rapidly flew over from the other side.

  HSSB454: Twin swords duelling four dragons

  Raising his head and gazing over, Yan Zhaoge saw two streaks of light, one white, one black, appear within the dimensional passageway in the sky.

  The two radiances were not lined up together, instead intermingling and entangling as they spun unceasingly, shooting straight through the dimensional passageway towards the Floating Life Wo
rld.

  Behind them suddenly resounded a heaven-shocking roar.

  Yan Zhaoge raised his brows, already having clearly identified it as the roar of a dragon.

  While hearing this sound, Yan Zhaoge could even feel the dragon essence blood in his body that had already been refined surging slightly.

  Beside him, Ah Hu had this feeling as well as he blinked, “Young Master, having this feeling, it must be…a true dragon?”

  “Someone who cultivates in the power of a true dragon,” Yan Zhaoge gazed intently at the entrance of the dimensional passage within the sky.

  Then, he saw several dragons of bloodred light follow behind the black and white radiances, shooting out of the dimensional passageway and arriving within the Floating Life World.

  Feng Yunsheng, Xu Fei and the others also looked vigilantly at the sky above, carefully determining the nature of that shocking power.

  Xu Fei said in a low tone, “While it is indeed dragon qi, it does not seem like the cultivation methods of demonic bloodline cultivators. Instead, it seems to be qi cultivators like us?”

  Yan Zhaoge nodded, “That’s right, it is precisely so. It is just that the cultivation techniques that they use originate from the power of a true dragon. Using the blood of dragons as support, a human can indeed successfully cultivate dragon qi within his body. Still, that also depends on how talented that particular qi cultivator is.”

  Amidst his words, five dragons of bloodred light rampaged through the air, surrounding the streaks of black and white light in mid-air.

  A voice resounded from amongst them, “You husband and wife can be considered lucky, actually having opened a dimensional passageway and escaped to another world.”

  “However, your good luck ends here. This will be your final resting place, your bones buried in a foreign land.”

  Hearing these words, Yan Zhaoge felt emotional to the point of near crying.

  Because the language used by the other side was one that he could understand.

  Although there were still some differences more or less, it was extremely similar to a language commonly used before the Great Calamity.

  While it was different from the language normally used by his mother, Xue Chuqing, it was of a similar style, both being commonly used languages of before the Great Calamity that had further developed in different ways.

  Being familiar with the pre-Great Calamity languages, it was not so taxing for Yan Zhaoge to understand the other side’s words now.

  As compared to the pain he had felt just having encountered the language of the Floating Life World, Yan Zhaoge truly felt incomparably grateful at this moment.

  It was also precisely because all of them had been no different from the deaf when they had first arrived in the Floating Life World that Feng Yunsheng, Xu Fei and the others had also felt greatly pained, beginning to ask Yan Zhaoge to teach them some language- related knowledge and skills.

  Whether it was that of the Eight Extremities World, the Floating Life World or the language currently used before them, all of them were inextricably linked with the old pre-Great Calamity languages as they stemmed from the same source.

  Therefore, whilst having learnt the language of the Floating Life World, Feng Yunsheng, Xu Fei and the others had also diligently studied the pre-Great Calamity languages.

  Listening to that person speak now, while they could not fully understand it, they were still able to catch some crucial information from it.

  Entrapped by the five blood dragons, the black and white streaks of light were halted within the air.

  The figures of a man and a woman now appeared before Yan Zhaoge and the others. It was a middle-aged couple.

  Both of the two were injured as the husband protected his wife behind him, saying hatefully, “Your Blood Dragon Sect and my Changli Mountain both belong to the Seven Pillars of Good which stand together against the Six Evil Sects. Yet, in your actions today, are you trying to cause a huge war between our two sects, thereby causing internal rife amongst us forces of good?”

  From the same blood dragon resounded, “I should be thanking you then. Having left our Vast Ocean World and come to this completely foreign world, if you die here, who of Changli Mountain will know?”

  As the bloodred light flickered, an old man appeared. He wore a black robe, his hands beside his back as he looked at that couple with a sunken expression on his face.

  In the other directions, the scales of the other four blood dragons pulsated, releasing a great amount of bloodred light.

  This bloodred light retracted, the figure of a martial practitioner appearing in the air where each of the blood dragons had been as they all emanated a sense of great power amidst their actions.

  Four people, each occupying a corner, trapped the couple within their midst.

  The old man raised his head to look at the dimensional passageway within the air, “The tunnel is extremely unstable. It must have just temporarily opened, and should be closing again very soon.”

  “We will kill you in this unknown world before immediately returning to our Vast Ocean World. Meanwhile, you will have vanished completely without a trace from the Vast Ocean World. How is there anything more perfect than that?”

  Looks of despair appeared on the faces of the surrounded couple.

  However, they did not give up hope. As they exchanged glances, both could see resolve in the gaze of the other.

  The husband and wife simultaneously let out a long roar. Now, a white sword-light shot into the sky from the scabbard on the man’s back, a black sword-light correspondingly shooting over from the woman’s scabbard as the two sword-lights intermingled, shining together.

  The husband and wife joined forces with their twin swords of white and black which spun upwards, attempting to force a breakthrough from their encirclement.

  Seeing this, Yan Zhaoge’s eyes lit up slightly, “Oh? One yin, one yang, intermingled and connected in tacit cooperation. It indeed exhibits some of the true principles of yin-yang coexistence.”

  “For the twin swords of this husband and wife, their combined power is greater than the sum of their parts.”

  The black and white sword-lights shot into the skies. Seeing this, the expression of the black-robed old man did not change as he made a hand signal.

  The four other martial practitioners let out loud roars in unison, roaring apart the winds and clouds.

  The acupoints of their entire bodies pulsed, roiling bloodred light surging outwards as illusory scenes formed above their heads.

  Within those images, several leaves swayed. They were all actually mid Essence Spirit Martial Grandmasters, experts at the fifth level of the Martial Grandmaster realm.

  Their surging true essence was filled with spirituality, false turning into real as they directly transformed into numerous blood dragons that enveloped their bodies before shooting towards the black and white sword-lights together.

  The yin-yang combination power of the twin swords was spectacular. As the sword-lights traversed the horizon, the combined might of the four blood dragons was actually unable to do anything to them for a time.

  The black-robed old man did not find this to be unexpected. The combined twin swords of Changli Mountain was famed throughout the entire Vast Ocean World. While the husband and wife before him were still only mid Essence Spirit Martial Grandmasters, when combining their powers, they would even be able to battle against him, a late Essence Spirit Martial Grandmaster, to some extent.

  If the black-robed old man made a move now, this couple would not be able to withstand their combined might.

  However, located within a foreign world now, he did not dare to overextend himself as he stood by the side, staying vigilant against sudden changes to the situation.

  This was especially so with him having already seen Yan Zhaoge and the others. Unaware of their intentions, this black-robed old man did not make a move against them.

  “Since that couple is already injured, as long as they ar
e surrounded and time drags on, they will eventually be unable to hold on,” The black-robed old man’s gaze fell on Yan Zhaoge and the others, “It is rather the people here that form an uncertain factor. While their cultivation bases look to be limited, I wonder what kind of paths they walk?”

  Receiving that black-robed old man’s gaze, Yan Zhaoge smiled noncommittally, just interestedly spectating the clash between the four blood dragons and the two-sword lights in mid-air.

  Ah Hu asked, “Young Master, what will we do?”

  HSSB455: If we save the wrong guys, just slaughter them afterwards

  His hands crossed before his chest, Yan Zhaoge enjoyed the major battle currently unfolding in mid-air before him.

  With Feng Yunsheng’s and Ying Longtu’s current cultivation bases, it would be very difficult for them to resist the stray ripples of power from the battle between Essence Spirit Martial Grandmasters.

  Yan Zhaoge and the others stood at the front, helping them to block the dangerous aftershocks of the battle.

  The six doing battle were all mid Essence Spirit Martial Grandmasters. Standing by the side, Xu Fei and Ah Hu felt some pressure at this.

  “Their martial arts are rather unique, being of a very high standard as well. Placed in our Eight Extremities World, they would be on the level of the direct lineages of our six great Sacred Grounds,” Xu Fei said after a moment’s observation, “Able to cultivate to the Essence Spirit Martial Grandmaster realm, none of these people are easy to deal with.”

  Yan Zhaoge had a look of relish on his face, “Seven Pillars of Good, Six Evil Sects. From that, there should be a total of thirteen such powers when they come from.”

  “The question is-are there any powers above these thirteen sects?”

  Unlike those of the Floating Life World, Yan Zhaoge and the others almost instantly understood the level of strength of these Vast Ocean World martial practitioners as they exhibited their skills in actual battle.

  Xu Fei said, “From the looks of it, they should be important figures within their sects, but still not those standing at the very top.”
