History's Strongest Senior Brother c1-1474

  As these True Immortals fought to such an extent with their full power, it was no longer something that could still be spectated.

  Of everyone present, there was only the Earth Exalt who still had the ability to continue spectating.

  He was the only one who left his original location and followed after them.

  As he was the one officiating this battle, this was also an expected thing.

  As for everyone else, including Yan Zhaoge and the Ingenious Flying Peak martial practitioners aboard the Red Lotus Heavenly Vessel, the spectating was actually already over as they needed merely to patiently await the result.

  This did not take too much time.

  A short while later, a dazzling beam of red light suddenly streaked through the darkness of space in the distance, seemingly tearing it apart.

  The red light was gone in a flash, disappearing without a trace.

  The sweltering heat amidst space gradually subsided as the earlier cold, solitary feeling returned.

  Everyone exchanged looks. The battle between Emperors seemed to have reached a conclusion.

  The Brocade Emperor had won.

  Beside Yan Zhaoge, Mu Jun heaved a sigh of relief.

  From what had been said when the battle had been arranged, the Brocade Emperor was the representative of all those of the Grand Clear direct lineage in bringing an end to their enmity regarding them having helped the dragons to seal Mars Halberd that year.

  Before he defeated the Brocade Emperor, Mars Halberd would not make trouble for others of the Grand Clear direct lineage.

  In the current World beyond Worlds, there was only Golden Court Mountain other than Ingenious Flying Peak which still remained of the orthodox Grand Clear direct lineage.

  In truth, the situation this time was unique. In order to prepare for the battle, if the Brocade Emperor had such intentions, the Southeastern Exalt Cao Jie would likely provide him with the Numerous Heavens Orthodox Arts and the Three Enclosures Emperor Sword for reference in this.

  Still, the Brocade Emperor who possessed an Immortal Artifact of his own clearly had his own pride and confidence as he had ultimately still risen to the challenge with his own power.

  The conclusion of this battle seemed to have proven his decision to be the right one.

  “That Mars Halberd seems to mean what he says. Such a conclusion to things should be fine, right?” Yan Zhaoge sighed in relief as well.

  After a long time, the purple qi reappeared.

  The vast purple qi returned, re-enveloping the space before them.

  The martial practitioners of the World beyond Worlds cheered simultaneously.

  While Mars Halberd had ties with the World beyond Worlds as well, this was already something of historical times as he had only recently suddenly reappeared.

  The Brocade Emperor had been a hegemon of the World beyond Worlds over the past thousand plus years, his fame running deep.

  Even if for nothing else, the spectators would naturally lean towards the Brocade Emperor in this.

  Yan Zhaoge stroked his lower chin, “It looks like Mars Halberd retreated. The Brocade Emperor was unable to destroy or subdue him.”

  “For some reason, Mars Halberd hates the dragon race to the core. While he also has enmity with us of the Grand Clear direct lineage, it is still not a death enmity,” Mu Jun said, “He is not the opponent of the Brocade Emperor. Still, he does not have to battle to the death. With his abilities, if he wants to leave, it would still be very difficult to stop him.”

  Now, he smiled at Yan Zhaoge, “Moreover, Mars Halberd was still the accompanying weapon of the Exalted Fire Luminary at the end of the day. If it is not a death enmity, the Brocade Emperor would not battle to the death with him.”

  “As for subduing this Immortal Artifact, while this surely sounds tempting, first not speaking of how he is different from other Immortal Artifacts, just the Exalted Fire Luminary alone is already a cause for concern. It is said that this bigwig is alive. With him saying nothing, anyone would be cautious.”

  Mu Jun reminded Yan Zhaoge, “While your Broad Creed Mountain has the Extreme Yang Seal and the Extreme Yin Crown that are extremely powerful high-grade Sacred Artifacts, they are still not Immortal Artifacts at the end of the day. It is different for Mars Halberd.”

  As the two spoke, that vast purple qi which enveloped space landed in the Red Lotus Heavenly Vessel, disappearing without a trace.

  The spectators collectively approached the Red Lotus Heavenly Vessel, preparing to give their congratulations.

  Still, while they were given permission to board the vessel, the Brocade Emperor did not meet anyone as he instead went to see the Grand Plainness Origin Lady, Tao Yu.

  The hearts of Zeng Mo, Mu Jun, Liu Xiangtong and the rest all jolted slightly.

  While the Brocade Emperor had obtained victory against Mars Halberd, could it be that he had suffered a serious injury in the process, thus not seeing anyone?

  Of course, if the Brocade Emperor was injured, Mars Halberd would only be injured worse.

  Yan Zhaoge instead felt differently about why he was only meeting Tao Yu and not Fu Ting.

  With he and Fu Ting having inadvertently travelled to the Immortal Court, in the eyes of the higher echelons of the World beyond Worlds, they had probably already broken some sort of taboo.

  After learning of the existence of the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord and the Immortal Court, while Fu Ting could not explain it clearly, she just felt some abnormal feeling.

  Yan Zhaoge believed that this was not baseless or a hallucination.

  From the previous warnings of the Brocade Emperor, the Southeastern Exalt and the Northeastern Exalt, Yan Zhaoge guessed that Fu Ting’s feeling was real.

  Having birthed a daughter late yet seen this kind of situation occurring, the Brocade Emperor would naturally be nervous.

  Yan Zhaoge even thought that the Brocade Emperor had probably not seen Fu Ting earlier, having immediately entered battle upon arriving. Instead, he had only come to learn of what had befallen her afterwards.

  If he had learnt about this prior to the battle, might it have instead turned into a battle of life and death?

  Despite knowing that Yan Zhaoge and Fu Ting had entered the lands of the Immortal Court together, the Brocade Emperor did not summon Yan Zhaoge to see him.

  After the battle, Yan Zhaoge returned to the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory with Mu Jun’s lot.

  The Brocade Emperor had previously invited him and his father as guests, having ended up failing to show up for some reason.

  He seemed to have no intention of meeting them now.

  Fu Ting, however, dispatched some fellow disciple of Ingenious Flying Peak to express her apologies.

  While the Brocade Emperor had not been injured in that battle, he had indeed had no intentions of entering a battle of life and death with Mars Halberd then.

  Therefore, after Mars Halberd had been defeated and left, their battle had come to an end.

  Also, the Brocade Emperor had not lingered in the World beyond Worlds as he had quickly departed again for extradimensional space after the battle.

  While the other party did not expressly say it, Yan Zhaoge’s guess was still verified in some manner.

  The Brocade Emperor had indeed stayed behind temporarily due to Fu Ting’s matter.

  Fu Ting was currently in seclusion at Ingenious Flying Peak’s Red Lotus Cliff.

  As she had sent someone on her behalf, Fu Ting did not go into detail on her current situation.

  Yan Zhaoge could not be certain if the Brocade Emperor had resolved the aftereffects from his daughter having travelled to the lands of the Immortal Court.

  From the looks of it, however, the situation was not optimistic.

  This was understandable, really. If it could be easily take
n care of, there would have been no need for Cao Jie and Liu Zhenggu to repeatedly warn Yan Zhaoge about this previously.

  While this Ingenious Flying Peak disciple had come on behalf of Fu Ting, he was not aware of the real situation at hand.

  He had come mainly because of how the Brocade Emperor had previously failed to show up and had also not made up for this now.

  It could be seen that this Ingenious Flying Peak disciple actually felt rather puzzled.

  With the Brocade Emperor’s status, it seemed a very casual matter whether or not he met two martial practitioners who had yet to even reach the Immortal Bridge stage.

  He found it hard to understand why Fu Ting had specially sent someone over to clarify things.

  Still, he acted appropriately as had been tasked as he did not act or speak arrogantly at all.

  Yan Zhaoge naturally could not tell him about the Immortal Court’s matter. After having met with him, he sent him away.

  Looking at Yuan Zhengfeng, Fu Enshu, Fang Zhun and the other higher echelon experts of Broad Creed Mountain, Yan Zhaoge soundlessly sighed.

  He could not tell them about the matter of the Immortal Court just as he had been unable to tell that Ingenious Flying Peak disciple about it.

  As for his whereabouts after the Minor No Hatred dao arena had previously been destroyed, Yan Zhaoge could only say that he had found it difficult to find his way back after having been trapped amidst those chaotic spatial torrents.

  The Buddhists had become a pretty good excuse. Yuan Zhengfeng and the others had already long since learnt of their existence.

  “Is my father still in secluded cultivation?” After taking his leave of Yuan Zhengfeng and the others, Yan Zhaoge returned to his lodgings and asked Ah Hu.

  Because the Northern Ocean Clone had remained at Broad Creed Mountain, not only did Yan Zhaoge know that Feng Yunsheng had already successfully Transcended Mortality and entered Sainthood, heading out alone, he had also long since known that Yan Di with whom he had been separated during the destruction of the Minor No Hatred dao arena had already returned before he had.

  Calculating the time, Yan Di should not have ended up in the lands of the Immortal Court or Buddhism.

  Still, Yan Di had quickly entered secluded cultivation soon after his return.

  Such a hasty action seldom happened with Yan Di.

  He had informed them before entering seclusion, though. It should not be anything bad.

  Ah Hu scratched his head, answering, “Family Head is still in secluded cultivation.”

  Yan Zhaoge nodded, next smiling as he looked at Ah Hu, “With Yunsheng and senior apprentice-brother Xu having Transcended Mortality and entered Sainthood one after another, you have got to keep it up.”

  In terms of talent and comprehension abilities, this big fella before him was not any inferior to the likes of Xu Fei and Tang Yonghao in the slightest.

  Xu Fei had previously stayed in the Vast Ocean World for a long time, having cultivated for longer.

  Still, Ah Hu had access to abundant resources by Yan Zhaoge’s side, also having cultivated in the World beyond Worlds’ superior environment. He had not been left in the dust by Xu Fei at all.

  At around forty years old, while he had yet to step into the Transcending Mortality stage, he was still a late Essence Talisman Martial Grandmaster, having established his heavenly altar.

  In terms of age, this was still very young in the World beyond Worlds.

  While his cultivation base was vastly inferior to the likes of Fu Ting, Long Hanhua, Zhuang Chaohui and Zeng Mo, those people had cultivated in a superior environment ever since young whereas Ah Hu had merely been in the World beyond Worlds for a few years thus far.

  Feng Yunsheng was a Maiden of Extreme Yin, being aided by the Extreme Yin Crown in cultivating. There was no making a comparison between them.

  If this was in the Eight Extremities World of the past, such a cultivation speed would be inferior only to Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di.

  Of course, many people felt speechless at how such an Essence Talisman Martial Grandmaster followed servilely after Yan Zhaoge just as he had before, being willing to remain his underling.

  On the surface, Yan Zhaoge’s cultivation base was much higher than Ah Hu’s. It seemed very natural that a lofty Seeing Divinity Martial Saint had a Martial Grandmaster as his servant.

  Actually, let alone this being unheard of in the Eight Extremities World, it was also extremely rare in the World beyond Worlds.

  Martial practitioners who could attain the Essence Talisman Martial Grandmaster stage and had the potential to Transcend Mortality and enter Sainthood would surely all possess their own pride.

  It was common to see martial practitioners acting humbly, but rare to see them acting subserviently.

  Even if there were those who were willing to be followers, these were generally those who had no hopes of advancing their cultivation base any further.

  A martial practitioner like Ah Hu who was so young and had virtually limitless prospects yet was willing to be someone’s follower was virtually unheard of.

  Those who were familiar with him and Yan Zhaoge were all surprised by this. Let alone Mu Jun, Zheng Ming, Chen Zhiliang and the others of Golden Court Mountain, even they of Broad Creed Mountain themselves had been feeling puzzled in recent years on why Ah Hu’s status remained unchanged despite his increasing cultivation base.

  After all, Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di had never restricted Ah Hu in anything.

  Yet, this big fella did as he liked, continuing to perform the same role as he had in the past.

  While many things changed in this world, in the heart of Ah Hu, Huang Huting, he seemed only to remember that the Family Head had saved him and his grandfather. Therefore, however he became, however high a cultivation base he attained, this life of his would eternally belong to the Yan Family.

  “Young Master, I feel that I am not far away from the Transcending Mortality stage,” Ah Hu chortled.

  Yan Zhaoge rolled his eyes, “Well, hurry up then, or Han Long’er will catch up before you know it.”

  Ah Hu pulled back the corners of his lips, “That kid…”

  He suddenly remembered something, “Right, Young Master. I’ve something to report. When Little Shi Jun was journeying outside, he obtained a piece of fortune that he felt he could not handle by himself. Thus, he reported it to the sect. Since Family Head is in seclusion, the old Chief and Elder Fang said to wait for you to return and hand this over to you.”

  “Yes, Grand Master and second apprentice-uncle told me about it briefly earlier,” Yan Zhaoge said solemnly, “I hear that it may be related to the Grand Clear direct lineage?”

  Back in the Eight Extremities World, Broad Creed Mountain had been considered a comparatively orthodox branch of the Grand Clear lineage.

  Their founder, the Heaven Opening Old Man Qiu Yuan, had created their Clear Qi Profound Art which had been Broad Creed Mountain’s foundation for many long years.

  The Eight Extreme Arts of their legacy all originated from this.

  Still, presently, Broad Creed Mountain had reached an internal consensus that affairs related to the Grand Clear direct lineage would all be handed over to Yan Zhaoge to handle so long as he was free.

  Ah Hu said, “It seems like a clue to a cave manor of some predecessor. It was somewhat coincidental since the cave manor only appears once every few years, with others only being able to find it then.”

  “Calculating the time, it should be around these two years? We cannot really confirm this presently.”

  As he said this, Ah Hu passed something over.

  Yan Zhaoge received it. It was a broken whisk.

  HSSB940: Path to the Immortal Bridge

  Having spent quite a bit of time in the Vast Ocean World, having always been diligently cultivating and never having slacked off, Shi Jun’s current cultivation base was not low.


  Shi Jun was one of the strongest disciples of Broad Creed Mountain’s younger generation.

  Especially noteworthy was the fact that he was currently a fourth generation disciple of Broad Creed Mountain in actuality.

  Still, not only was he the most powerful amongst the fourth generation disciples, he had also already surpassed many of those of the earlier generation.

  Of Broad Creed Mountain’s third generation disciples, besides Yan Zhaoge, Feng Yunsheng and Xu Fei who were far ahead of him, there was now only Sikong Qing who would be able to defeat him.

  While Ying Longtu’s talent was higher, having cultivated for a relatively shorter time, his cultivation level was currently similar to Shi Jun’s.

  Shi Jun had not slacked off after coming to the World beyond Worlds, instead having redoubled his efforts as Yan Zhaoge, Yan Di, Yuan Zhengfeng and Xu Fei all felt greatly reassured by this.

  This broken whisk that Yan Zhaoge was currently holding was something Shi Jun had inadvertently obtained when he had been out journeying some time alone.

  “Yes, Grand Master and the others judged correctly. This indeed possesses some of the feel of the Grand Clear direct lineage,” Analysing the whisk, Yan Zhaoge found that the spiritual qi within was insubstantial and hard to serve much use.

  Still, the patterns on the surface of the whisk formed a few sigils. While these too were terribly damaged, he was still able to grasp them somewhat.

  It could be seen that this whisk had once been a Sacred Artifact.

  Still, this was clearly already ancient history.

  Yan Zhaoge fingered that broken whisk, “Since the time has still yet to come, I shall just wait patiently, waiting for the cave manor to appear before making further plans.”

  After having settled down, Yan Zhaoge began pondering on the matters of his cultivation.

  While he had only viewed half of the Brocade Emperor’s battle with Mars Halberd, it had still been an incredibly valuable experience.

  Yan Zhaoge had benefited much more greatly as compared to most of the other spectators there.

  The Heaven Opening Scripture of the Jade Clear direct lineage clashed with the Grand Clear lineage’s Earlier Heaven supreme martial arts, being in opposition to whilst also birthing each other.
