Yan Zhaoge nodded, “I think so as well. As soon as they have gathered sufficient power, they will ‘descend’ once more.”
“Still, in coming again, they will have to gather sufficient forces to stand against both you and the Extreme Yang Seal. That would not be an easy thing.”
“However well established the Radiant Light Sect is, having consecutively lost so many experts over here, rather than just having pulled their tendons, they will probably have much to weep on.”
“After all, there are still equivalent forces in the World beyond Worlds, those massive entities who are looking for trouble with them. Thus, those who descended these two times must have been taken out from the mix with much effort. Wanting to gather yet more people and quite a number of them as well, it will not be so easy for them next time.”
Yan Zhaoge paused momentarily before continuing, “If the other party temporarily remains on the defensive in the World beyond Worlds, specifically concentrating on dealing with us in order to obtain the Extreme Yang Seal, that would be a different story altogether.”
“Thus, having gone to the World beyond Worlds, even if others do not expose my identity, I will have to find a more or less appropriate moment to spread the news, drawing the attention of the Radiant Light Sect. Otherwise, the pressure here at the Eight Extremities World would be too great.”
Yan Di did not feel looked down upon due to Yan Zhaoge’s words. His pride did not equate to blindness.
“After this, I will be constantly stationed here, awaiting your good news,” After having said this, Yan Di directly sat down in the meditative position atop the wreckage of the former World Illuminating Peak.
Yan Zhaoge bowed towards Yan Di, smiling, “I already have some ideas regarding this.”

HSSB610: Miraculous sabre
Hearing Yan Zhaoge’s words, Yan Di was taken aback somewhat, “Ideas? What do you mean?”
Yan Zhaoge said slowly, “I have carefully analysed the paper fan that I obtained from the Dim Darkness Sect’s Liang Zhichao. While there are many restrictions in using it, it is not limited to only a single person. Instead, it can protect several people in passing through the wounds of the sky all at once. Of course, the maximum is still five.”
Yan Di asked, “Master not being here, I will have to remain in the Eight Extremities World. Who will go with you? Old Man Mo has said that he has no intention of returning to the World beyond Worlds.”
Yan Zhaoge pondered as he said, “Yunsheng will be going with me.”
Yan Di looked rather quizzically at Yan Zhaoge, “You will not be going for sightseeing this time, nor will you be staying somewhere as a guest.”
“The situation in the World beyond Worlds is unclear, and a major enemy, the Radiant Light Sect, will be present nearby as well. Your journey will not be a very safe one. It might not be a good thing to bring junior apprentice-niece Feng there.”
Yan Di gazed solemnly at Yan Zhaoge, “Over the years, I have seen that you are not someone to favour private over official matters. What special thoughts do you have?”
Yan Zhaoge said solemnly, “I certainly don’t hope to place Yunsheng in danger. This is an official matter, not a private one.”
Yan Di asked, “For the Extreme Yin Crown? You might not get a chance to retrieve the Extreme Yin Crown this time.”
Yan Zhaoge said, “That is merely one aspect, not even being the main point. As you say, in going to the World beyond Worlds, it isn’t even certain whether I will be able to come into contact with it.”
“Meng Wan and the Extreme Yin Crown have been brought to the Radiant Light Sect. Before the Radiant Light Sect has groomed their own Maiden of Extreme Yin, they will definitely still attribute much importance to Meng Wan. Still, they will not lightly make use of her as well. Meng Wan will most likely remain cultivating in the Radiant Light Sect’s headquarters with the Extreme Yin Crown.”
Yan Di considered for a moment, “Is it that supreme treasure of magnificent dimness that you are so focused on? Does this have something to do with junior apprentice-niece Feng?”
Yan Zhaoge lined his fingers into a sabre, chopping downwards within the air, “I told you about it once before. I don’t know if you still have any impression of it?”
Seeing Yan Zhaoge’s movements, a look of realisation appeared on Yan Di’s face, “You are talking about junior apprentice-niece Feng’s accompanying sabre?”
Yan Zhaoge nodded, “It’s precisely that black sabre. That sabre is extremely special. While it seems inconspicuous, it is actually secretly miraculous. Accompanying the growth of its owner, Yunsheng, this sabre’s spirituality has actually also been rising.”
“When I first saw it, it was still a low-grade artifact. Now, it has already become a high-grade artifact.”
“Even sifting through the ancient texts, I have never discovered a thing like this before.”
Yan Zhaoge’s dark green bamboo cane that he had forged would also rise in strength as his cultivation base increased, advancing unceasingly as it grew stronger and stronger.
However, the growth of this dark green bamboo cane stemmed from Yan Zhaoge unceasingly smelting and refining a large amount of treasures, artifacts and spirit artifacts, ‘feeding’ it all the way.
This was unlike Feng Yunsheng’s black sabre which grew automatically. The sole restriction for this was its owner’s, Feng Yunsheng’s cultivation base itself.
Now, Yan Zhaoge could already basically confirm that if Feng Yunsheng broke through into the Martial Grandmaster realm, this black sabre would almost definitely become a spirit artifact.
The sole uncertainty here was what the limit of this sabre’s improvement was.
Yan Zhaoge said, “Having examined this sabre before, I did not discover anything special. Still, I can be certain that this sabre is not like the Extreme Yang Seal or the Extreme Yin Crown, having descended into slumber and only being able to awaken little by little.”
“Yet, there are definitely miraculous things about it, its origins unordinary. Still, at the starting phase, it should indeed have been merely a low-grade artifact, having slowly progressed to how it is now.”
At this point, Yan Zhaoge lightly patted his forehead, “Still, after having personally witnessed the corrosive power of magnificent dimness this time, I was suddenly struck by a thought as I realised that this was somewhat similar to the distinctiveness of that sabre.”
Hearing his words, Yan Di was momentarily stunned, pondering deeply for a moment before slowly saying, “If that is so, not just the Rahu Star of magnificent dimness…”
Yan Zhaoge nodded, “That’s right. It could also be the opposing star of the Moon Star of Extreme Yin, Ketu.”
“Still, this sabre having been in the Sacred Sun Clan from the very start, I feel that it is not a coincidence.”
Yan Zhaoge said earnestly, “I asked Yunsheng about it before. She doesn’t know where exactly this sabre came from. Previously, it had just been sealed in the Sacred Sun Clan’s weapons vault. Still, this sabre already has a very long history.”
Yan Di now said, “If you feel that this sabre is useful, I won’t oppose it. Since that is so…”
Yan Zhaoge laughed wryly, “I understand your meaning. If I could, I would like to bring just the sabre up.”
“Still, I can just tell you one thing and you won’t be thinking this way.”
“Before Yunsheng took control of this sabre, other Sacred Sun Clan martial practitioners also used it before. Still, when they became outer aura Martial Scholars, this sabre still remained a low-grade artifact. Only in Yunsheng’s hands did it begin growing along with her cultivation base.”
Hearing this, Yan Di also revealed a rare expression like he didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry, “This really is…”
The father and son exchanged wry smiles, Yan DI shaking his head after a while, “There is no way around it then. We can only hope tha
t your guess is right.”
He looked at Yan Zhaoge, “Since that is so and you are already bringing one, you might as well bring a few others as well. Do you have any other plans? The spiritual qi environment in the World beyond Worlds is much more conducive to cultivation than in the Eight Extremities World.”
There was something that Yan Di didn’t say. As he saw it, while Broad Creed Mountain was currently in danger, this danger stemmed from the World beyond Worlds.
Broad Creed Mountain already had no enemies in the Eight Extremities World. Even if Yan Zhaoge left, with Yan Di guarding over the Fire Domain, other martial practitioners still wouldn’t dare to compete with Broad Creed Mountain.
Even the usually lawless solitary practitioners who acted as they liked amidst the infinite ocean and along the Great Western Desert were now avoiding Broad Creed Mountain martial practitioners.
While nothing would be seen in the short term, as this went on, the disciples of Broad Creed Mountain would have it easier and easier.
Yan Di thought for a moment before saying, “Don’t stride too far out with a single step. There’s a place which it seems we could consider as a temporary stopping point.”
“The Vast Ocean World,” Yan Zhaoge nodded.
Yan Di said, “That’s right, it is precisely the Vast Ocean World. According to the words of you and senior apprentice-sister Fu, the environment there and the foundation you achieved beforehand is not too safe, whilst also not too dangerous. Even as there are risks, they are still within acceptable boundaries. The outstanding disciples of our clan can go for tempering there.”
“Xu Fei and Shi Jun are still there. They will be able to assist in this area.”
Yan Di looked at Yan Zhaoge, “As for officially launching a conquest into the Vast Ocean World, it is too early for that. Let us not consider it first.”
Yan Zhaoge said, “I had the intention of going to the Vast Ocean World as well. The Radiant Light Sect having kicked up a ruckus here, across from the wound of the sky in the Eight Extremities World, they may very likely have collided into them.”
Yan Di said, “Very good. Since that is so, I will leave it to you to make the arrangements.”
Yan Zhaoge smiled, “You can rest easy. There won’t be any problems on my side.”
Yan Di remained here at the site of the former World Illuminating Peak while Yan Zhaoge returned to Broad Creed Mountain.
At his single order, the entire Broad Creed Mountain instantly began to move.

HSSB611: Vast Ocean World once more
“Young Master ah, let me go to the World beyond Worlds with you!” Ah Hu’s big face pushed itself before Yan Zhaoge.
Yan Zhaoge could not help but smile, “I’m not going over to be a guest this time. It might be very troublesome. Are you sure you want to go along?”
Ah Hu chuckled, “Of course I want to go. With a figure like you, Young Master, fortune and authority follow everywhere we go.”
When Yan Zhaoge had gone to the Vast Ocean World previously, it had been an urgent situation. Ah Hu having been in charge of escorting Fang Zhun and the Clear Qi Robe back to Broad Creed Mountain, he naturally hadn’t been able to catch up with him.
Having heard about Yan Zhaoge’s experiences in the Vast Ocean World afterwards, Ah Hu had instantly been stunned on the spot, being overwhelmed by a heart-wrenching feeling.
This time, he would definitely have to go along with Yan Zhaoge no matter what. He almost hugged Yan Zhaoge’s thigh and began to howl and weep.
Yan Zhaoge smiled, “While you might not be able to act unbridled as you like in the Vast Ocean World, my name will still be pretty useful. Even if I am not there, you can still borrow my authority to act superior and almighty.”
Ah Hu smiled, “Even that wouldn’t be as cool as remaining by Young Master’s side.”
“Yes, I like what you said,” Yan Zhaoge smacked his lips, “Just don’t complain about it when the time comes.”
Ah Hu’s head immediately shook like a drum, “I won’t, I won’t! How’s that possible?”
Yan Zhaoge looked towards the side where Feng Yunsheng was currently looking down at the black sabre in her hands.
Having unsheathed the sabre, her fingers slid gently across its blade. She did not feel the normal coolness of a metallic blade, also being unable to see the circulation of sabre-light as it seemed as though the temperature and light had been completely retracted within the sabre itself.
Feeling Yan Zhaoge’s gaze, Feng Yunsheng looked up, “While I had already known previously that this sabre was strange, I had not thought that it would actually have such an origin.”
“When choosing this sabre that year, I had merely felt that while this sabre didn’t look very special, I seemed to feel a sort of special connection with it somewhat. From the looks of it now, this itself is already unordinary.”
Feng Yunsheng lightly raised the black sabre in her hands. She tapped it lightly, but no sound was emitted.
Accompanied by the increase in grade of this sabre, this sabre seemed to have become more and more drawn in into itself, having become more and more silent. Only when this sabre was facing its enemies did it shock the world.
Yan Zhaoge asked, “While you have changed your Sacred Sun Clan martial arts foundation, you have still always cultivated in the West Tilting Heaven Incinerating Sabre of the Seven Great Sun Arts. Have you felt any abnormalities?”
Feng Yunsheng pondered, “It has not weakened. Instead, it feels even smoother and easier to use.”
Yan Zhaoge nodded, “The power of corrosion destroys sunlight, strengthening itself. Your sabre and martial arts combining, it would indeed be possible for such a situation to occur.”
“Still, it is still too early to say this now. Perhaps all will be revealed when we arrive at the World beyond Worlds.”
Feng Yunsheng said, “Right.”
Then, she sheathed her sabre.
Yan Zhaoge looked at Sikong Qing and Ying Longtu, saying, “The two of you should accompany us to the Vast Ocean World.”
Sikong Qing nodded while Ying Longtu pursed his lips, “Senior apprentice-brother Yan, senior apprentice-sister Feng, can’t I go to the World beyond Worlds together with you?”
Yan Zhaoge smiled, “It is still a little too early for that. Still, you don’t have to be in too much of a rush. Personally, I actually hope that all of you would be able to head to the World beyond Worlds a little earlier. The cultivation environment there is superior to in both the Eight Extremities World and the Vast Ocean World. With your talent, you should be able to develop better there.”
“Still, don’t be too hasty.”
Ying Longtu obediently nodded, “Okay, senior apprentice-brother.”
Yan Zhaoge led them out of the room together. Outside the door, there were a limited number of Broad Creed Mountain disciples waiting for them. They were all geniuses who were direct disciples.
“Having gone to the Vast Ocean World, it will not be as safe as it is here in the Eight Extremities World. It is not that there is no danger of dying, and it would not be easy to return as well,” Yan Zhaoge said in a mild tone, “While the time flow there is much faster than in the Eight Extremities World there, the feeling within it is exactly the same. A year there still feels like a year.”
“Being able to progress would naturally be great. When you have returned to the Eight Extremities World in the future, you will have saved a countless amount of time. It will be glorious as you stand before those whom you are familiar with.”
“Still, it would be no different if you remain unmoving. It would be no different when your longevity is up and the great limit descends.”
Yan Zhaoge gazed at them all, “Everyone already knows about the existence of the World beyond Worlds now. Our generation of martial practitioners should have this aspiration. Our gazes should not stop at the Eight Extremities World. It is ther
e actually there which we must go.”
Everyone before him, Sikong Qing and Ying Longtu before him, emotionally responded affirmatively.
“By senior apprentice-brother Yan’s teachings.”
“By senior apprentice-uncle Yan’s teachings.”
Fu Enshu and the First Seat Elder of the Martial Inheritance Hall, Elder Qin, stood by the side watching Yan Zhaoge’s lecturing. They did not interrupt him, instead nodding slightly at his words.
“Senior apprentice-uncle Qin, we will be going then,” Fu Enshu nodded towards Elder Qin.
In heading to the Vast Ocean World, Yan Zhaoge himself would not be staying there for long. While Broad Creed Mountain had no intention of increasing their territory there, just the young disciples alone would be insufficient and unstable. Similarly having gone to the Vast Ocean World before, being familiar with the people and ways there, Fu Enshu had been placed in charge of leading their group.
Elder Qin said, “Be careful in all things.”
Yan Zhaoge and Fu Enshu both nodded, “Do not worry.”
Standing quietly behind Yan Zhaoge, the Northern Ocean Clone now extended his palm, radiance lighting up as there seemed to be infinite space contained within, a mustard seed able to contain a mountain.
The radiance swept up Yan Zhaoge and the others. Then, the Northern Ocean Clone cupped his fists towards Elder Qin before turning. He strode forward before taking to the air, ascending into the sky.
The Northern Ocean Clone headed east, arriving at the Outer East Sea.
The dragon tomb already having collapsed, the path of the ancient, cold abyss could not be easily traversed. Thus, Yan Zhaoge still chose the area in the Outer East Sea.
In heading to the Vast Ocean World previously, the passageway had been temporarily formed, not having been a stable dimensional passageway.
Still, with the unpredictability of spacetime, it would still be more reliable to go where they had once opened a dimensional passageway before.
