With that, when the Dim Radiant Wheel was completed, its Dim Radiant Twelve Arts would all have attained new heights.
The Dim Radiant Wheel would also be vastly superior.
Yan Zhaoge pondered for a moment before extending a palm towards the slot that represented the Wilderness Devouring art.
The Golden Crow World Incinerating Art could not cut it, and it was the same for the Vast Yang Scripture too.
Still, he should give it a go with the Extreme Yang Scripture.
Yan Zhaoge did not intend to send the Extreme Yang Seal within as he simply projected the concept of the Extreme Yang Seal with his true essence.
The Dim Radiant Wheel showed no reaction at first.
It was no different from when Yan Zhaoge had previously experimented by infusing his true essence within countless times.
Yan Zhaoge retracted his palm before considering for a moment. He grabbed the high-grade Sacred Artifact, the Sun Moon Wheels, next abruptly smashing it towards the Dim Radiant Wheel.
This time, the black metal wheel finally reacted, light flying out from a slot that swept along the sun wheel.
Yan Zhaoge did not resist this but did not let go as well as he gripped the sun wheel, making use of this chance to send his palm in as well.
At the same time, he circulated the techniques of the Extreme Yang Scripture.
The next moment, glorious sunlight flickered amidst the illusory space of the universe as a great amount of the essence of sunlight was sucked and absorbed unceasingly by a formless existence!
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 1006: Ten great Sacred Artifacts
HSSB1006: Ten great Sacred Artifacts
The Extreme Yang Scripture had originated from Vast Yang Palace’s Vast Yang Scripture.
Still, having been developed and refined by some legendary bigwigs who were geniuses of their times, also having referenced the likes of the Cyclic Heavenly Scripture and the Yin Yang Heavenly Scripture, the current Extreme Yang Scripture that had achieved major completion could be said to have surpassed it.
The Vast Yang Scripture and the Golden Crow World Incinerating Scripture could not satisfy the needs of the Dim Radiant Wheel that had been forged by the Dim Radiant Emperor Yin Tianxia.
Still, the Extreme Yang Scripture could.
Still, as it refined and integrated the concept of the Extreme Yang Scripture, the Dim Radiant Wheel was also unceasingly absorbing all the radiance of the sun manifested of Yan Zhaoge’s true essence.
Since it could even refine high-grade Sacred Artifacts, the essence and qi it required would definitely be crazily high.
Many Immortal Bridge Martial Saints whose martial arts were not renowned for their abundant true essences would virtually be sucked dry by the Dim Radiant Wheel.
This was an Immortal Artifact, a treasure that could only be refined by an Immortal in the first place.
There was a gap between mortals and immortals. Even though the Dim Radiant Emperor had already established a foundation, what would come next was not something that any ordinary person might be able to do.
Even with Yan Zhaoge’s strength, he could feel a large amount of his true essence just ebbing away.
The depletion was even greater than when he had previously fought with that late Immortal Bridge Martial Saint longtime Elder of Wutong Slope, Zhang Shuren.
With a tranquil expression on his face, he quietly circulated his vigorous true essence and his breathing, constantly supplying power to the Dim Radiant Wheel in an endless stream.
A glow was emitted from one of the slots of the black metal wheel which grew increasingly brighter.
The black wheel which usually looked simple and innocuous as no sound resounded from it whatsoever gradually emanated a momentous feeling at this moment!
Extremely hot, blazing radiance filled the space within the Myriad Dragon Palace, resembling the large, actual sun.
“I believe that this slot corresponds to the sixth of the Dim Radiant Twelve Arts, extreme Yang,” Yan Zhaoge thought.
The Wilderness Devouring Art could devour the strength of other people.
Meanwhile, the art of extreme Yang of the legacy of the Dim Radiant Sect mainly drew out on the majestic intent of the sun, guarding the righteous and avoiding the immoral so as to stabilise itself.
It contained an external combat technique that attacked in wide, aboveboard movements, offence and defence both in one.
However, it was most renowned for its inner cultivation technique with sunlight illuminating all as no evil could encroach, one’s mind being safeguarded.
When cultivating normally, there would be a greater efficiency. At the same time, it would be able to resist those sinister bewitching arts that were used on the mind as well.
This technique was currently inscribed on the Dim Radiant Wheel. This treasure could thus suppress evil and filth, specifically restricting those sinister means.
Yan Zhaoge appraised the Dim Radiant Wheel in a new light at this moment, “My hypothesis was right. In that case, when this Dim Radiant Wheel reaches its peak, the Dim Radiant Twelve Arts manifesting, it will be able to exert twelve different functions on its own!”
Also, all of them would be refined rather than insubstantial.
This would be the case if it was completed according to the intentions of the Dim Radiant Emperor, Yin Tianxia.
“The Dim Radiant Emperor Yin Tianxia was really someone with novel thoughts indeed,” Yan Zhaoge clicked his tongue in praise, “If he had not died young, his fame would surely be far greater than how it is now.”
Of course, this was with an underlying assumption.
Yan Zhaoge could not be clearer on the fact that if Yin Tianxia had not died and he sought to improve, there was first a problem which he would have to face.
His Dim Radiant Twelve Arts had connections with the true intent of peerless infinity.
Meanwhile, the first scripture of the Jade Clear lineage’s Primordial Heavenly Scriptures, the Peerless Heavenly Scripture, would be weighing down on him like a mountain, blocking his path so that it was incomparably narrow, with each step being difficult to take.
Unless Yin Tianxia obtained the Peerless Heavenly Scripture, it would be far more difficult for him to continue advancing than for others.
He might even be stuck in the Leakless Immortal realm for the rest of his life as a result.
The concept and path of the Dim Radiant Wheel might be a form of consideration and attempt by Yin Tianxia with regard to his own path.
Could he not know that the path he had chosen was an extremely tough one?
Yan Zhaoge believed that he had known it.
And yet, Yin Tianxia had still chosen this path.
While it was difficult with hope ephemeral, he was still constantly attempting to break free of the restrictions on him, seeking an effective method.
“Peerless infinity…” Yan Zhaoge muttered to himself.
He had previously cultivated primarily in the last of the Dim Radiant Twelve Arts.
This art was none other than peerless infinity.
Yan Zhaoge’s initial rationale for this was making use of the Dim Radiant Sect’s art of peerless infinity to conceal his foundation of the Peerless Heavenly Scripture.
According to Yin Tianxia’s rationale in forging the Dim Radiant Wheel, he would naturally have hoped to absorb an art of peerless infinity that was superior to the Dim Radiant Sect’s too.
Ever since ancient times, beneath the myriad heavens, which lineages which analysed the true intent of peerless infinity surpassed the Peerless Heavenly Scripture?
As the Dim Radiant Wheel refined the concept of the Extreme Yang Scripture with the sun wheel as an intermediary, a pattern which represented the art of extreme Yang was inscribed on it even as Yan Zhaoge’s true essence also flowed away in great amounts.
He vaguely felt drained of strength just like when he had still been in the fifth level of the Martial Saint realm, following his ba
ttle with the Star Plucking Practitioner Guan Lide.
To Yan Zhaoge who possessed numerous supreme martial arts and vigorous true essence and had a rapid qi returning speed, this was an extremely rare situation.
Still, the results were soon visible as well.
Yan Zhaoge retracted his palm as the Dim Radiant Wheel before him gradually regained its normalcy.
It was just that one of the slots of the black metal wheel currently emitted mild, calm sunlight.
The concept within was not completely the same as that of the Extreme Yang Scripture.
In terms of foundation, it was still the concept of the sixth art of the Dim Radiant Twelve Arts, extreme Yang.
Atop its original foundation, however, it was more profound as well as refined.
Yan Zhaoge felt comforted by the fact that as he approached the Dim Radiant Wheel again now, this treasure showed a faint reaction as it no longer seemed to be in a deep slumber as it had previously.
“From this moment onwards, I have truly formed a connection with this Dim Radiant Wheel. This can be considered as me officially beginning to refine this treasure from where the Dim Radiant Emperor left off,” Yan Zhaoge stroked his lower chin, retrieving another object.
This was the Five Phoenix Fan, a high-grade Sacred Artifact which had originally belonged to Wutong Slope’s ‘Phoenix Pupils’ Yuan Xiancheng.
After Yuan Xiancheng had died, this Sacred Artifact had fallen into Yan Zhaoge’s hands.
When martial practitioners fought, their weapons being damaged was not uncommon.
Still, Yan Zhaoge’s dark green bamboo cane was extremely well-endowed in capturing the treasures and weapons of others.
In the battle of Circumference Mountain, beneath the effects of the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation, besides those three late Immortal Bridge Martial Saints, those other enemies had basically been defeated without a fight.
Thus, even as Yan Zhaoge had seen great battle achievements from rampaging across the southern Blazing Heaven Territory this time, he had also gained quite a lot, acquiring countless spoils of war.
Not including those killed in the Daoist temple, even only considering those starting from the Endless Mountain Range of the southern Blazing Heaven Territory, he had still slain over ten Immortal Bridge Martial Saints of the south throughout.
Due to the deficiency of materials, high-grade Sacred Artifacts were hard to come by. Many Martial Saint experts who had ascended the Immortal Bridge could only continue to use mid-grade Sacred Artifacts.
Fortunately, his foes in the battles at Vast Spirit Mountain and Circumference Mountain had not been weak as they had possessed abundant wealth.
In the end, seven people, including Daoist East Spring, Zhao Zhen, Yuan Xiancheng, Zhang Shuren, Peng He, Daoist Leading Mist and Qing Shuzi had each provided Yan Zhaoge with good war spoils.
Besides them, before the battle at Vast Spirit Mountain, as Yan Zhaoge had rampaged over to the Endless Mountain Range, he had also killed countless martial practitioners of the south, obtaining two high-grade Sacred Artifacts.
Adding on Three Foot Mountain’s Golden Crow World Incinerating Sabre which he had obtained at the Daoist temple, he had netted a total of ten high-grade Sacred Artifacts this time!
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 1007: A newly ascended legend or a fleeting shooting star
HSSB1007: A newly ascended legend or a fleeting shooting star
Not considering Three Foot Mountain’s Golden Crow World Incinerating Sabre, Qing Shuzi’s Dragon Sceptre Whip and Daoist Leading Mist’s Bright Barbaric Daoist Robe, Yan Zhaoge had netted seven high-grade Sacred Artifacts from the martial practitioners of the south.
Not mentioning those he had slain, just considering these spoils of war which he had taken away from the south, the southern Blazing Heaven Territory had already suffered a huge blow to its vitality.
Beneath the lead of Golden Court Mountain, the martial practitioners of the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory had expanded on an attack into the south which had been extremely successful.
Not only had Golden Court Mountain completely suppressed and thrashed Wutong Slope, the other martial practitioners of the southeast had been completely at the upper hand against the southern martial practitioners too.
This was especially so along the route from Circumference Mountain to the Announcing Peace Mountain Range to the Broad Dong Mound Plains and further west. Retracing Yan Zhaoge’s footsteps, the martial practitioners of the southeast had it relaxed and joyful throughout.
Having already been swept through by Yan Zhaoge once, the southern martial practitioners were hard pressed to organise any real resistance.
“It’s quality is really not bad,” Looking at the Five Phoenix Fan that he held, Yan Zhaoge could not help but smile, “I’m too used to it, but a wastrel like me would probably attract a lot of criticism.”
After cultivating for some time, Yan Zhaoge gradually recovered his vitality.
Sensing that he had finished his preparations once more, Yan Zhaoge sent the Five Phoenix Fan within the slot of the Dim Radiant Wheel with the Wilderness Devouring Art inscribed on it too.
At of now, Yan Zhaoge no longer had to launch an attack in order to stimulate the Dim Radiant Wheel into retaliating.
He had already gradually come to establish a bit of a connection with the Dim Radiant Wheel.
With just a mere thought on his part, the Dim Radiant Wheel shook slightly. While it did not wholly abide by Yan Zhaoge’s orders, this time, it took the initiative to devour the Five Phoenix Fan that was served on a platter.
The concept contained within the Five Phoenix Fan manifested as the silhouette of a phoenix amidst the space of the universe within the slot.
While the Dim Radiant Wheel did react somewhat, it was not intense.
Yan Zhaoge knew that it was the Perpetual Illumination art of the Dim Radiant Twelve Arts at work.
Perpetual Illumination was the eighth art of the Dim Radiant Twelve Arts.
Light Illuminates All from the Radiant Light Sect of the Royal Reed Sea had originated from here.
Other martial arts like the Inextinguishable Light Body and the Infinite Brightness Palm had been birthed from this too.
Light Perpetually Illuminates, Eternally Never Extinguished.
Martial practitioners had long breaths and vigorous true essence which made them proficient in drawn-out battles, also gifting them mighty defensive power.
The characteristics of its concept were similar to the miraculous aspects of Wutong Slope’s Phoenix True Form Scripture. Although it was still inferior to that scripture, it was still extremely outstanding.
Still, while their external characteristics were similar, their underlying principles were different.
Therefore, after being shaken, the Dim Radiant Wheel regained its initial silence.
The forging of this Immortal Artifact came from analysing and refining the concept of other supreme martial arts in order to improve itself, not being from breaking down and taking in those martial arts.
Therefore, when the targeted Sacred Artifact was unable to strengthen it, it would not act.
This was what had happened with the Five Phoenix Fan now and the Purple Sea Sword previously.
Still, Yan Zhaoge was actually just using this Five Phoenix Fan as an intermediary and medium in order to supply his own martial concept to the Dim Radiant Wheel.
It was just that it was not that of the Peerless Heavenly Scripture.
There was no other reason for this but the fact that the Peerless Heavenly Scripture was just too abstruse and profound.
Firstly, Yan Zhaoge himself was still constantly in the midst of comprehending it. Secondly, the Peerless Heavenly Scripture surpassed the twelfth art of the Dim Radiant Twelve Arts, that of Peerless Infinity, by just far too much.
If he were to blindly integrate this, things would likely end with the Peerless Heavenly Scripture gaining dominance and trying to take over con
trol.
Yet, the foundation of the Dim Radiant Wheel was the Dim Radiant Twelve Arts at the end of the day.
It would be impossible for Yan Zhaoge who had yet to attain Immortality to successfully forge an Immortal Artifact which had the Peerless Heavenly Scripture as its foundation.
The wresting for control would only end up with both sides losing and going their separate ways.
Still, as the cultivation base of Yan Zhaoge himself rose and the Dim Radiant Wheel neared completion, hopefully reaching just that one step away, an opportunity might still arise then.
Therefore, it was another supreme martial art that Yan Zhaoge was supplying the Dim Radiant Wheel with at this moment.
The Dark Moon Pill Scripture.
This time, he was aiming for the fifth of the Dim Radiant Twelve Arts, the art of extreme Yin.
When cultivated by martial practitioners, with the cold desolation of Extreme Yin, this art would cause life force to run dry and the soul to shrivel as it was one of the few venomous arts of the Dim Radiant Twelve Arts, being close to a devilish art.
Used against enemies, it would formlessly inflict harm on them.
It was worth mentioning that to some extent, it was countered by the art of Extreme Yang of the Dim Radiant Twelve Arts.
Also, a portion of the techniques of the Dark Moon Pill Scripture possessed similar effects.
Yan Zhaoge possessed a comparatively limited understanding towards the internal history of the Dim Radiant Sect in post-Great Calamity times.
Still, after gaining an understanding of the art of Extreme Yin of the Dim Radiant Twelve Arts, he vaguely realised something.
A past senior of the Dim Radiant Sect, maybe Yin Tianxia himself, had likely gotten his hands on a fragmented version of the Dark Moon Pill Scripture. From combining this with their dao tradition, the art of Extreme Yin had ultimately been born.
The Dark Moon Pill Scripture did not just delve into those brutal, vicious concepts.
Still, the fragmented version which the Dim Radiant Sect had obtained seemed to only delve into these.
