Therefore, whether it was to help Golden Court Mountain or to deny Zhuang Chaohui’s gang, Yan Zhaoge did not mind saving Tang Yonghao, even assisting him in entering Golden Court Mountain.
Meng Wan having lost the Extreme Yin Crown, Yan Zhaoge had no intention of getting rid of her.
If Feng Yunsheng spoke on her behalf, Yan Zhaoge would even consider sending her back to the Eight Extremities World to reunite with her Master.
Still, if Tang Yonghao and Meng Wan wanted to make an enemy out of Broad Creed Mountain because of the Sacred Sun Clan, while Yan Zhaoge would understand their position, he would similarly be merciless in his actions.
Yan Zhaoge too would cherish talent from time to time. Still, this would never happen with his enemies.
While Feng Yunsheng was really worried about Meng Wan, she too knew how difficult it would be to successfully request her back from the Southern Exalt.
It was just like how Zhuang Yonghao would find it as difficult to get his hands on Tang Yonghao as ascending to the heavens if the latter eventually entered Golden Court Mountain.
If Feng Yunsheng had to risk her life for Meng Wan, she could do so without blinking an eyelid.
Yet, to expect Yan Zhaoge to risk his life for Meng Wan would surely be a little idealistic.
Even if he did agree to do so in the end, it would still just be for her sake alone.
This was unless some unique reason truly existed. Still, there was none that Yan Zhaoge and Feng Yunsheng had managed to grasp at the current time.
Feng Yunsheng sighed inwardly.
Of course, she could actually go alone. Yet, if she met with danger, what different would it be from her forcing Yan Zhaoge to go along with her?
Was Meng Wan more important than Yan Zhaoge, for her to involve him in some avoidable danger over their sisterly ties?
Yan Zhaoge had wrecked Zhuang Chaohui’s all-important plan to obtain the phoenix bone and killed the Southern Exalt’s disciple, Li Jing. The Southern Exalt’s lineage would surely hate him to the core, and would be more than happy to see him give himself up at the southern Blazing Heaven Territory.
Therefore, when Yan Zhaoge asked about it, Feng Yunsheng could only feign a look of nonchalance.
Still, with Meng Wan possibly having met danger, Feng Yunsheng would be plagued by worry even just thinking about it, finding it constantly hard to relax as a result.
After the Extreme Yin Bouts, Feng Yunsheng had never slacked off in her cultivation in the least.
Yet, she again felt powerless and filled with anxiety now.
That desperation and desire from when she had unceasingly sought to obtain the Extreme Yin Crown arose within her heart once more as she intensely wished that she could be a little stronger, stronger than she currently was.
If only she were sufficiently powerful, she would be able to attempt to save Little Wan alone without getting anyone else involved.
Looking at Feng Yunsheng, Yan Zhaoge smiled, “Worried about Meng Wan?”
Since Yan Zhaoge had already said it out loud, Feng Yunsheng had no need to hide it, “I wonder why that Zhuang Chaohui took her away.”
Yan Zhaoge smiled, “I thought I’d already successfully built an omnipotent impression in your heart.”
Feng Yunsheng sighed, “Zhuang Chaohui would wish nothing more than for you to send yourself to their doorstep. There are as many experts as there are clouds at Wutong Slope. The Southern Exalt too is no minor figure. Moreover, this matter actually has nothing to do with you.”
Yan Zhaoge smacked his lips, “You leave me feeling very hurt like this. You should know that men always hope that their women will rely on them a little more, their egos thus being satisfied. The stronger you are usually, the more moving and emotional it will be during truly fragile moments.”
Feng Yunsheng was amused whilst also exasperated, “Do you still need to satisfy your ego with me?”
Yan Zhaoge laughed lightly, “It would be different with you.”
Feng Yunsheng’s heart softened as she inhaled deeply, next shaking her head, “You really shouldn’t be doing anything here.”
Yan Zhaoge shrugged, “It all depends on you.”
Feng Yunsheng said, “Actually, when Zhuang Chaohui brought Little Wan away, he did not reveal any lust or a desire to vent. While he did feel infuriated over the matter of the phoenix bone, that wasn’t targeted against Little Wan. He seemed to have no ill intentions. Little Wan probably won’t be facing danger this time.”
“Still, I just can’t understand why he would kidnap her. Because of that, I just cannot set my heart at ease.”
Yan Zhaoge lightly rubbed his temples, pondering for a moment before he asked, “Back in the Eight Extremities World, did you learn about Meng Wan’s background? You entered the Sacred Sun Clan earlier than she did. Do you know anything about her family?”

“Little Wan is an orphan just like me,” Feng Yunsheng answered, “Thus, she was especially close with her Master, the two being just like mother and daughter.”
Yan Zhaoge asked, “Did you ever hear her mention her birth parents?”
Feng Yunsheng shook her head, “Little Wan just said that she had no impression of her birth parents whatsoever. She has been an orphan ever since she can remember, also having no other relatives.”
She looked at Yan Zhaoge, “What might you be referring to, asking about this?”
Yan Zhaoge shook his head, “I don’t know. It’s just that the sole explanation that makes sense here is that Meng Wan originates from the World beyond Worlds in the first place.”
Zhang Chao was the first person in the history of the Eight Extremities World to have ascended to the World beyond Worlds.
Meng Wan, Tang Yonghao, Yan Zhaoge and Feng Yunsheng were the first batch of people from the Eight Extremities World to have travelled to the World beyond Worlds via the wound of the sky through special means without having yet attained the Seeing Divinity Martial Saint realm.
Still, while moving from the Eight Extremities World to the World beyond Worlds was difficult, there had long since been people who had descended from the World beyond Worlds, and not just one or two of them at that.
The powerful existences who had left behind the Extreme Yang Seal and the Extreme Yin Crown aside, the Painting Saint Old Man Mo had done the same thing not too long ago.
Logically speaking, Meng Wan should never have seen Zhuang Chaohui before prior to this.
Before their meeting in the underwater palace, Zhuang Chaohui too should have been unaware of Meng Wan’s existence.
From Zhuang Chaohui’s words, it was clear that he and those related to him should never have gone to the Eight Extremities World before, being unaware of the existence of such a lower world as well.
The only possible explanation for this was that Zhuang Chaohui or the Southern Exalt knew someone who was related to Meng Wan.
Someone had descended to the Eight Extremities World, Meng Wan hence having been born there.
Perhaps this person had brought Meng Wan to the Eight Extremities World and then left her there.
It was just that this person’s current location was unknown, having most likely returned to the World beyond Worlds rather than remaining in the Eight Extremities World. He or she might also have died.
Yan Zhaoge said, “There is still one more possibility. Still, it is a rather unlikely one.”
“There may be another secret hidden on Meng Wan. She could have obtained a unique treasure like Tang Yonghao, or she could have some unique cultivation physique. We did not know about it, but Zhuang Chaohui noticed it, thus kidnapping her purely for personal gain rather than anything else.”
Feng Yunsheng thought about it, “This indeed sounds somewhat less probable.”
Yan Zhaoge spread his hands apart,
“Therefore, the first possibility is still the more likely one. The reason behind this incident lies with the circumstances of Meng Wan’s birth.”
“Perhaps this close sister of yours actually has an extremely prestigious background, having ended up in the Eight Extremities World in hardship befalling a precious princess.”
Feng Yunsheng smiled wryly, “That really does sound kind of far-fetched.”
Yan Zhaoge laughed, “The two of you being close as sisters, it would be best for her background to be a bit more prestigious in consideration for her safety. That way, whether Zhuang Chaohui wants to sell a favour to a major figure or has other intentions, Meng Wan will not meet with any danger so long as she still has value in his eyes.”
“Still, in consideration for our Broad Creed Mountain, if Meng Wan indeed soars to a high position, it is hard to say if she will make use of her newfound status to fuel the Sacred Sun Clan’s resurgence.”
Yan Zhaoge held up two fingers, “Major figures who habitually hold a lofty position usually have these two kinds of attitudes when their children who were lost next finally return to their sides.”
“They will either disregard them due to not sharing a close relationship or comply to all their wishes in order to recompense them more and alleviate their regrets.”
Feng Yunsheng stared at Yan Zhaoge for a time, not knowing whether to laugh or to cry, “I’ve always thought myself to be kind of good at releasing my imagination limiter. Still, you’re even more skilled than me at this! You almost got me to stop worrying about Little Wan completely, worrying instead about our Broad Creed Mountain.”
Yan Zhaoge said cheerily, “I and Broad Creed Mountain both have to worry, but you don’t. You’ve long since come to cozy up to and ‘hug the thigh’ of her prestigious self now.”
Feng Yunsheng shook her head, “Little Wan went all out in her battle with me, being true to her conscience in that respect. For as long as I am in Broad Creed Mountain, she should not be doing anything to harm our clan. Instead, like Senior Brother Tang, her thoughts should be more on the side of rebuilding the Sacred Sun Clan.”
“Little Wan’s greatest concern now should still be how her Master is doing.”
Feng Yunsheng sighed, “I am unconcerned whether her two slender legs will become thick thighs for me to hug. I just hope that no harm will be befalling her with this.”
Yan Zhaoge said, “I will be heading to the Southeastern Exalt’s Golden Court Mountain after this. I may be able to find more clues on this there. If we find out why Zhuang Chaohui kidnapped Meng Wan, we will be able to correspondingly confirm her safety.”
He stroked his lower chin, “We can go and visit various places after this. If Meng Wan was really born in the World beyond Worlds, it may not just be Zhuang Chaohui alone who recognises her.”
The threat of the Radiant Light Sect and the Grand Xuan Dynasty still remained.
Still, it was already no longer as pressing as before.
Yan Zhaoge did not have to continue staying in the Royal Reed Sea now. At the very least, there was no need for him to permanently remain on standby there.
The Radiant Light Sect and the Grand Xuan Dynasty had previously been like a sharp sword hanging over the Eight Extremities World and Broad Creed Mountain that might bring disaster at any time.
Under such circumstances, who would have the leisure to be concerned with other things?
Now, he was freed to go travel around elsewhere in the World beyond Worlds.
Xue Chuqing’s whereabouts had always been a mystery to him. Now, he finally had a chance to try and search for his mother.
During his travels, he could try to investigate Meng Wan’s matter as well.
Perhaps he might be able to get something useful out of Lin Hanhua and Mu Jun?
There had been too many people back at the Clear Scenic Region. He could simply ask about it later.
Yan Zhaoge consoled Feng Yunsheng as he controlled the Myriad Dragon Palace, rushing back to the Spirit Inheritance Region where Yan Di should be waiting for him.
On the way there, there was something that left Yan Zhaoge not knowing whether to laugh or to cry.
After having swallowed the Taotie’s lifeblood and demonic heart, Pan-Pan had become gigantic, with his demonic qi also being hard to repress as he appeared violent as well as temperamental.
As a pure-blooded Pixiu, Pan-Pan possessed a great foundation. Still, his cultivation base was just too far apart from that of the deceased Taotie.
As a result, he was still somewhat unable to digest that demonic heart.
The Pixiu also innately possessed a mighty ability to swallow and devour. While it was not as renowned as that of the Taotie, it was still famed for greedily eating all beneath the heavens.
It was fortunate that this was the case. Were it a different kind of demonic beast, it would probably long since have imploded and died now.
“Still, if you can get through this, you will likely immediately undergo a rebirth-like transformation,” Yan Zhaoge patted Pan-Pan before consecutively drawing seven sigils on his four paws, chest, back and head.
These sigils all harboured the profundities of the Life Creation Heavenly Scripture.
While Yan Zhaoge had not properly cultivated in the Life Creation Heavenly Scripture before, he was still somewhat versed in it through his Peerless Heavenly Scripture foundation.
Assisted by those seven sigils, Pan-Pan instantly felt much more comfortable.
Yan Zhaoge checked his gains from his trip to the underwater palace this time, “Hmmm, that Qi Wei seems to have brought quite a few things with him. Let me see if there’s anything useful amongst his belongings to help and ease your pain.”
While he had just been at the fifth level of the Martial Saint realm, as a formations grandmaster, Qi Wei had possessed a great many accompanying treasures, having great wealth accumulated within.
“Huh?!” Yan Zhaoge was initially very happy as he looked, yet his movements suddenly stopped.
His pupils dilated slightly as he retrieved a small box from amongst Qi Wei’s belongings. After opening it, he stared fixatedly at the single pill that was contained within.
“…Encompassing Abundance Golden Pill. This is a divine pill that existed only in the Heavenly Court’s Divine Palace in pre-Great Calamity times. This Qi Wei actually had one of those?”

HSSB794: Overwhelming treasure
As the small brocade box was opened, spiritual qi instantly suffused the entire area with a pleasant medicinal fragrance that left one feeling completely relaxed filling the entire Myriad Dragon Palace.
A spherical pill that flickered with a faint golden light could be seen inside the box, a faint purple qi shrouding and rising from it which did not dissipate for a long time.
Yan Zhaoge stared at this pill, his gaze distant.
Even before having opened the brocade box, he had already vaguely sensed something.
He had believed it to be a mere figment of his imagination at the time.
Yet, opening the box and truly seeing the pill, all doubts were alleviated as he recognised it at once.
This pill was known as the Encompassing Abundance Golden Pill, and it possessed shocking efficacy.
Mortals who consumed it would have their longevities increased, thus achieving eternal youth. They would be able to sense the heavens, hearing the decrees of the Heavenly Court. Those on the brink of death would be immediately revived, the dead brought back to life and flesh regrown on bones.
If martial practitioners consumed it, they would be able to connect with the miraculous, purest immortal qi that existed beyond the nine heavens, absorbing it into their bodies and benefiting incomparably as a result.
This pill had only existed in the Heavenly Court’s Divine Palace in pre-Great Calamity times, having been stored in the Pill Hall of the Divine Palace.
Even the immortal families of the Hea
venly Court had rather treasured such a miraculous pill with how consuming one would allow them to connect with and absorb the highest grade immortal qi from above the nine heavens.
If their cultivation bases were insufficient, only extremely few people ever enjoyed such fortune.
Despite their insufficient cultivation bases, if one consumed the Encompassing Abundance Golden Pill and breathed the immortal qi of beyond the heavens, while it would just be a tiny wisp of such, even this tiny wisp alone would already be incomparably valuable.
The spiritual qi in the current World beyond Worlds was abundant, far surpassing that in the likes of the Eight Extremities World, Floating Life World, Vast Ocean World and Flame Devil World etcetera.
Just having arrived here, Yan Zhaoge had felt for a moment as though he had returned to the great thousand worlds of before the Great Calamity.
Still, the environment of the World beyond Worlds was only at a similar level, still being somewhat inferior to the golden age of pre-Great Calamity times.
Perhaps it would be better at the new Kunlun Mountain in the central Jun Heaven Territory than here in the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory.
Still, the environment of the great thousand worlds in pre-great Calamity times had also varied by grades according to location. The Divine Palace of the Heavenly Court that existed above the nine heavens had unquestionably been a supreme location.
The immortal qi of beyond the heavens there had similarly been top-tier beyond the nine heavens, being something extremely few people could get their hands on even within the Divine Palace itself.
The rarity of the immortal qi of beyond the heavens and the value of the Encompassing Abundance Golden Pill could be seen therein.
After the Great Calamity, the Divine Palace of the Heavenly Court had fallen to ruin, many treasures having been destroyed as well.
Yan Zhaoge did not know what fate the Pill Hall had suffered and what had befallen the great many divine, miraculous pills and medicines that had been stored within.
