History's Strongest Senior Brother c1-1474

  Of course, it was a little embarrassing to speak of its name now. Towards irrelevant people, he might still be able to casually speak something of it with brevity.

  Yet, faced with Fu Ting who was a direct descendant of the orthodox Grand Clear lineage, it really would be very embarrassing to utter its name.

  This was actually a very normal thing. After all, the founder of Broad Creed Mountain in the past, the Heaven Establishing Old Man Qiu Yuan, had not known of the World beyond Worlds’s existence.

  His old man’s vision had been limited to just that of the Eight Extremities World.

  It could not be said that he was a frog in a well. It was indeed true that everything had had to start over from the beginning following the descent of the Great Calamity.

  Without the foundation that Qiu Yuan and the rest had established, there would not have been the emergence of Zhang Chao and Yan Di thereafter who had finally attained a path connecting to the heavens and leapt out of the well, hence becoming able to see even broader heavens and earth.

  Also, Qiu Yuan had indeed benefited from a former expert who had ties to the Grand Clear lineage.

  Strictly speaking, from the Eight Extremities World’s standpoint, it could not be considered wrong to say that Broad Creed Mountain was of the Grand Clear direct lineage.

  When Yan Zhaoge had Transcended Mortality and entered Sainthood, while he had not perused any supreme martial arts of their direct lineage for real, following some meticulous planning and effort, he had still successfully combined the Three Purities as one in the end. Broad Creed Mountain’s martial legacies had been a factor which enabled him to do so.

  Hearing Yan Zhaoge say so, Fu Ting shot him a deep glance.

  Just as she was about to say something, the expression on Fu Ting’s face suddenly changed slightly.

  The gazes of Yan Zhaoge and those two Seeing Divinity Martial Saints experts had flickered as well.

  Everyone’s gazes were simultaneously directed at the area beneath their feet.

  While no changes were occurring in the heavens and earth before them, everyone could indistinctly feel vibrations emanating from down below.

  While they were mild at first, they had become extremely intense just an instant later with all the heavens and earth shuddering vigorously as a result.

  The shuddering did not originate from this level. Instead, it originated from the one right below.

  Yan Zhaoge spread his palms apart, “The stability of this foreign dimension far surpasses the norm. It is even stabler than many worlds formed of Creation itself.”

  “Being able to create such a huge disturbance here, it is undoubtedly from Immortal Bridge Martial Saints. One side should consist of your seniors, Miss Fu. Just as you said, they have indeed arrived very quickly. Still, it is hard to tell for the other side.”

  He looked down and sensed things for a while, “Without witnessing it in person, the winning side cannot easily be determined. Still, from the fluctuations of power, they appear evenly matched.”

  Yan Zhaoge looked back up, pointing up ahead, “This Yan intends to make use of this chance to head up to a higher level. I wonder if Miss Fu intends the same?”

  After glancing at Yan Zhaoge, Fu Ting suddenly laughed, actually revealing some cunningness as she said, “The views of heroes do converge.”

  After saying so, golden radiance abruptly lit up about her entire body, transforming into the wings of a phoenix that spread its wings, sweeping along she and the remaining Ingenious Flying Peak martial practitioners before directly turning and shooting off into the distance.

  Seeing this, Yan Zhaoge smiled, bringing along Feng Yunsheng and the others in pursuit.

  Seeing that golden phoenix silhouette, Feng Yunsheng, Ah Hu and Xiao Ai were all taken aback, “She has actually successfully cultivated in and accomplished the true intent of the phoenix as well?”

  Even though it was different from the fire phoenix of the Southern Exalt’s lineage, in that golden phoenix was similarly manifested the true intent of the phoenix.

  Even more astonishing was the fact that this golden phoenix vaguely seemed to possess all the Five Virtues behind it, emanating a shocking aura which seemed able to decimate the heavens and earth.

  “That is not a martial art that she cultivates it. Instead, it comes from a Sacred Artifact of hers,” Yan Zhaoge stroked his lower chin, “It should be a mid-grade Sacred Artifact that possesses shocking defensive power. In terms of defence, it far surpasses the Precipitous Golden Armour and the Immortal Talisman Embroidered Robe.”

  As Fu Ting was still not a Seeing Divinity Martial Saint yet, she was still unable to exert the full force of that Phoenix Woven Plume.

  If she stepped into the Seeing Divinity stage and simultaneously cultivated in the Grand Plainness Immeasurable Body and the Grand Beginning Bright Emptiness Form, next drawing upon the full might of the Phoenix Woven Plume, with the two Grand Manifestations combined and the Five Virtues present, just defending and not attacking, her defensive power would have attained a shocking level.

  Even most early Immortal Bridge experts of the seventh level of the Martial Saint realm would be unable to break through her defences.

  Yan Zhaoge possessed the Extreme Yang Seal. Still, him wielding this treasure as he was now was totally different from the might he would exhibit upon finally attaining the Seeing Divinity stage.

  “No wonder she can be so confident even though she knows that we have the Extreme Yang Seal and the Extreme Yin Crown,” Ah Hu scratched his head, “The Brocade Emperor is really something. The Southern Exalt spent so much effort yet still failed to gather the true intent of all the five virtues, yet he actually managed to gather all of them.”

  Yan Zhaoge shook his head, “They are not all gathered. This is merely a Sacred Artifact that can simulate the concept of the five virtues all being present. It should be because the essence blood of a true phoenix was added when this artifact was forged. The intent of the true phoenix can be unleashed from that. Still, it is impossible to comprehend and sort it all out to be later reproduced.”

  “This is thanks to the Five Virtues and Five Grands being related. Otherwise, the Brocade Emperor would not have been able to manage such a thing. Even if he gave away this Sacred Artifact to the Southern Exalt, it still wouldn’t be of any real help at all.”

  Yan Zhaoge said, “The Southern Exalt must know this as well. Otherwise, he would long since have thought of something.”

  Now, light appeared up ahead in Yan Zhaoge’s field of vision.

  Off in the distance, the pagoda that led to a higher level had already appeared before them.

  History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 822: Profound Sky Purple Gold Furnace!

  HSSB822: Profound Sky Purple Gold Furnace

  The Northern Ocean Clone was still in secluded cultivation in the Myriad Dragon Palace. The speed of Yan Zhaoge’s group was hence not raised to the maximum level.

  Fu Ting and the other Ingenious Flying Peak disciples were first to arrive at the pagoda.

  Glancing back, she saw Yan Zhaoge and the others following close behind as they were already in the vicinity of the pagoda as well.

  “Pretty quick,” Fu Ting thought to herself, not hesitating at all as she and those of her lineage quickly ascended to the peak of the pagoda, disappearing amidst the purple pillar of qi.

  Yan Zhaoge and the others similarly did not halt in the least as they charged into the purple pillar of qi before being transported along by it, rising amongst the clouds up above.

  Just like those previous levels, there was a door of light amidst all those purple auspicious clouds.

  After Yan Zhaoge’s group had walked through this door of light, things grew illusory before them.

  Yet, this time was different as just after having stepped into this level, a powerful qi tide suddenly surged over towards them.

  That ferocious qi tide would be sufficient to overturn many Seeing Divinity Martial Saints exper
ts.

  Fortunately, Yan Zhaoge was prepared for this as a pure black metallic box appeared before him.

  The combined incarnation of the Heaven Swallowing Sword Box and the Earth Devouring Burner resembled a black hole now as it completely devoured the wild tide surging towards Yan Zhaoge.

  Carrying the Heaven Swallowing Earth Devouring Box, Yan Zhaoge and the others continued forth.

  Gazing far into the distance, a streak of golden light was similarly traversing the tides, yet was able to progress steadily forward.

  “Your Heaven Swallowing Earth Devouring Box does not fall into the categories of Sacred Artifacts and spirit artifacts as it was a treasure made for nourishing the Evil Sword Taotie,” Feng Yunsheng sighed emotionally, “This Sacred Artifact of Miss Fu’s that manifests the true form of the phoenix and the true intent of the Five Virtues should already be considered the mid-grade Sacred Artifact with the highest defensive power?”

  Yan Zhaoge said as he walked, “Right, at the very least, its defensive power is unrivalled amongst the mid-grade Sacred Artifacts that we have seen and heard of, having attained the peak of its creation.”

  “That Turbid Heavenly Mirror Armour that Madame Kang bestowed upon Kang Jinyuan, Qi Wei’s Blurry Shadow Woven Robe, the Immortal Talisman Embroidered Robe and Precipitous Golden Armour as well as some defensive tools that I have all cannot compare to this one of Fu Ting’s.”

  Ah Hu swallowed his saliva, “Young Master, I remember you once saying that Fu Ting’s nickname…”

  Yan Zhaoge smiled, ‘Yes, that’s right. The so-called ‘Grand Red Lotus’ is on one hand to exhort Fu Ting herself as a Heaven’s favoured daughter who possess outstanding looks and supreme talent.”

  “On the other hand, it also refers to a famed treasure of hers known as the ‘Red Lotus Tribulation’ which possesses shocking destructive might.”

  Fu Ting was famed throughout the World beyond Worlds for her mighty offensive prowess. She was actually someone who did not focus greatly on defence.

  Even though her defence could be considered at the supreme peak amongst martial practitioners of the same cultivation level, there were very few times indeed in which she truly had to concentrate on defending.

  Ah Hu was speechless, “Not mentioning her cultivation base, just considering treasures alone, with that mid-grade Sacred Artifact for defence and the Red Lotus Tribulation for offence, this woman is extremely powerful in both attack and defence. She seems not to have any weaknesses at all.”

  Yan Zhaoge smiled, “It is only because of that that her reputation has always maintained its shine.”

  Ah Hu suddenly chuckled, “Young Master, in speaking so highly of her, you are actually doing so to raise yourself on an even higher pedestal, right?”

  “It was you who won just now, Young Master, and you weren’t even using the martial arts that you are most proficient in.”

  Glancing at him, Yan Zhaoge said with the utmost solemnity, “You’ve changed, Ah Hu.”

  Ah Hu felt bewildered, “Young Master, why do you mean by that?”

  Yan Zhaoge said with an utterly pained look on his face, “Even though your skill in flattery was not high before, your expressions exaggerated and your tone stiff, you at least possessed a soul which was willing to work hard back then.”

  “Just take a moment ago. In the past, you would always immediately come and raise the sedan for me, your Young Master.”

  “Yet now, you have learnt to rain on my parade just like Yunsheng does!”

  Ah Hu shrunk back his neck, smiling flatteringly, “I see. I was wrong, Young Master. I will definitely pay attention next time.”

  “There will be no next time,” Yan Zhaoge stroked his lower chin, “From today onwards, your wages are halved!”

  Ah Hu instantly wailed piteously, “Don’t, Young Master! Someone like you who’s ever so brave and wise and valiant and smart, loftily reigning above all others, magnanimous and benevolent, having righteousness and virtue embedded in your very soul-you would not blame the likes of me for this, right?”

  Feng Yunsheng and Xiao Ai both smilingly watched Yan Zhaoge squabble with Ah Hu from the side.

  Actually, the unique situation in this level had already made them all aware that it was not ordinary.

  It was different from the few levels beneath.

  They had likely already arrived at the peak level of this foreign dimension.

  There were peak experts with mighty cultivation bases locked in a chaotic battle down below. Ahead of them was Fu Ting’s group, hastily moving along.

  While Yan Zhaoge was moving faster and faster, not wasting any time, he appeared very composed and relaxed as no fear or nervousness could be seen from him at all.

  He raised his head and gazed far into the distance. As they advanced, the ferocious tides of qi were getting weaker. Still, visibility was decreasing before them as a faint purple fog gradually appeared amidst space.

  The medicinal fragrance was getting denser and denser, the sonorous song of immortals resounding by their ears as it caused one to be captivated to the point of forgetting their initial purpose.

  Seeing this, Yan Zhaoge gradually realised, “It really is the Profound Sky Purple Gold Furnace!”

  “To think that it really was here…”

  This Profound Sky Purple Gold Furnace which had been a supreme treasure even in the Heavenly Court’s Divine Palace in the past was right in this foreign dimension, in the world of this very level.

  As Yan Zhaoge and the others continued to advance, the purple fog before them grew increasingly denser.

  As this went on, it eventually became dense to the point of feeling like a solid entity as it caused one to feel as though they were trapped within a swamp.

  Even the powerful suction force from the Heaven Swallowing Earth Devouring Box could not do much when faced with this purple fog as it was hard pressed to devour and absorb it into itself.

  While the terrifying suction force that seemed able to swallow the heavens and devour the earth was still present, the purple fog was not shaken in the least at it seemed to exist in a completely different world, a completely different spacetime.

  Yan Zhaoge’s expression did not change as he just kept the Heaven Swallowing Earth Devouring Box.

  The next moment, the Myriad Dragon Palace appeared.

  As soon as it came into contact with the purple fog, the Myriad Dragon Palace instantly shook.

  A profound, indiscernible seven-coloured glow was now emitted from the beam of the palace, that supporting pillar as well as its door.

  Illuminated by this seven-coloured glow, Yan Zhaoge and the others were shockingly able to continue their advance.

  The purple fog up ahead slowly part, yet this was only limited to the region that Yan Zhaoge’s group was in.

  In the midst of advancing, Yan Zhaoge even saw Fu Ting and the others.

  Hindered by the purple fog, Yan Zhaoge was now faster, having come up from behind to surpass her.

  As they were enveloped by the seven-coloured radiance and concealed by the purple fog, Fu Ting and the other Ingenious Flying Peak martial practitioners could not clearly see what was going on.

  Still, the first person they thought of was Yan Zhaoge.

  Despite feeling rather puzzled, Fu Ting did not say anything now as all she could do was concentrate fully and try to break through the obstruction of the purple fog around her.

  The Myriad Dragon Palace opened the way as Yan Zhaoge’s group headed forward.

  Yet, space seemed to have become endless at this moment as the rate of flow of time was also hard to sense.

  Raising his head and gazing over, Yan Zhaoge saw that the Myriad Dragon Palace was shaking more and more intensely.

  This meant that they were already getting closer and closer to their goal.

  Finally, streaks of golden light penetrated through the purple fog ahead of them.

  The pressure before Yan Zhaoge abruptly lessened as they and the M
yriad Dragon Palace passed out of the area of influence of the purple fog of clouds together.

  What appeared in his field of vision was a huge, completely golden three-legged furnace from which those clouds arose!

  The pill furnace seemed infinitely large as it filled the surrounding heavens and earth all round. Yet, it also seemed extremely small, just like the tiniest speck of dust.

  Yan Zhaoge had broken through the sea of clouds right above where the pill furnace was located.

  Even as he gazed downwards, he felt as if the pill furnace existed someplace higher than himself.

  Various inconceivable and conflicting areas were displayed in this pill furnace before him.

  Yan Zhaoge sucked in a deep breath, “…the Profound Sky Purple Gold Furnace!”

  HSSB823: Moving afterwards yet securing the advantage

  This was the first time that Yan Zhaoge was personally seeing and coming into contact with the Profound Sky Purple Gold Furnace as well.

  Still, with just a look at that furnace, he knew it for certain. This was precisely a supreme treasure of the Pill Hall of the Heavenly Court’s Divine Palace in the past, the Profound Sky Purple Gold Furnace.

  Yan Zhaoge did not hastily rush over without thinking.

  He surveyed his surroundings, pondering on in silence.

  After carefully observing the furnace for a moment longer, Yan Zhaoge exhaled slowly, suppressing the greed in his heart as he instead retreated, returning amidst the layers of purple fog behind him.

  “What, is there a problem?” Feng Yunsheng asked.

  Yan Zhaoge answered, “While I cannot say for sure, things here appear rather strange. It would be better to be a bit cautious.”

  Feng Yunsheng, Ah Hu and Xiao Ai all looked cautiously at that Profound Sky Purple Gold Furnace.

  While they were currently amidst the purple sea of clouds, they were located along its boundary.

  From that position, they were still able to clearly see the furnace. Yet, gazing over from where the furnace was, their position would still not be easily discovered.
