His son, Feng Moyang, had already headed to the World beyond Worlds as he formed part of the important cornerstones for Broad Creed Mountain there like Xu Fei, Sikong Qing and Ying Longtu.
“Senior apprentice-uncle Feng, senior apprentice-brother Xu,” Yan Zhaoge greeted the two.
Feng Chi and Xu Fei both nodded to him, “Has the Brocade Emperor already descended?”
Yan Zhaoge said, “He should have arrived before me. I am heading to Turbid Wave Pavilion now.”
The size of the Eight Extremities World was already too small for the current Yan Zhaoge.
What had once been a long distance could be traversed in the blink of an eye now as the endless horizon zoomed by.
Yan Zhaoge had once visited the headquarters of Turbid Wave Pavilion before. As he visited it again now, while the scenery was still the same, everything had long since changed from how it had been before.
The previous Pavilion Lord An Qinglin had successfully advanced to the second level of the Martial Saint realm in recent years. She had passed her seat down to her disciple and focused simply on cultivating in peace.
As the Radiant Light Sect had been completely destroyed and Broad Creed Mountain had come to gain stable footing in the World beyond Worlds, the Eight Extremities World was already one where Broad Creed Mountain fully reigned supreme now.
Although the other major powers still had their autonomy, their relationship with Broad Creed Mountain had been continually changing.
As Broad Creed Mountain’s status had become increasingly transcendent, the attitudes of the other major powers had gradually begun to change as they became subordinate to Broad Creed Mountain.
The conflicts existing between them were more to see who would be superior beneath Broad Creed Mountain’s ultimate reign.
Turbid Wave Pavilion could be said to be in rather an advantageous position here.
Having already been notified by Feng Chi previously, An Qinglin and the current Lord of Turbid Wave Pavilion came out to greet them along with many of their Elders.
Seeing Yan Zhaoge, they all respectfully paid their respects to him.
Any feelings they once had had already long since dwindled into nothingness by now as only respect remained as they saw Yan Zhaoge at this moment.
“No need to stand on ceremony,” Yan Zhaoge had not the time to care about formalities as he cut to the chase, “Senior apprentice-uncle Feng has probably already contacted you regarding this matter. I wonder where Fellow Daoist Chen, Chen Mingying currently is?”
An Qinglin answered, “Junior apprentice-niece Chen is currently in the Pavilion. No one has come to look for her, though.”
Yan Zhaoge shook his head, “That person’s cultivation base is too high as somebody who has already pushed open the door to Immortality. Here in the Eight Extremities World, he is not suppressed by the power of dimensions. There is probably no one at all who can detect his coming and goings.”
Now that his cultivation base was suppressed to that of a third level Martial Saint, even Yan Zhaoge was currently hard pressed to rely on his senses to confirm if the Brocade Emperor had indeed arrived.
Nevertheless, he believed that the Brocade Emperor Fu Yunchi had already arrived for sure.
Therefore, he said, “This Yan must still bother you to lead the way to Fellow Daoist Chen’s lodgings.”
An Qinglin spoke no further as she immediately led the way.
They arrived outside a small courtyard. Before even entering, they could already hear the voices of people as they conversed within.
Those of Turbid Wave Pavilion could not help but exchange looks.
Yan Zhaoge’s expression was as per usual as he raised his hand to call for the others to stop before walking over himself.
The door of the small courtyard was partially closed as gazing within, one could vaguely see that a few people were currently seated in front of a residence and beneath a massive maidenhair tree.
One of them currently seemed mild and composed, but was always the one who would first be noticed.
Snow white clothes and a red outer robe, handsome looks, transcendental grace and bearing.
This could be none other than the Brocade Emperor, Fu Yunchi.
Across from him sat a middle-aged woman.
Yan Zhaoge recognised her as Meng Wan’s former Master in the Sacred Sun Clan, Chen Mingying.
Meng Wan was seated quietly in a lower seat than the two.
Now, the Brocade Emperor’s deep, pleasant voice resounded, “Do you have any thoughts regarding the Sacred Sun Clan that you hailed from?”
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 1072: Feng Yunsheng’s whereabouts
HSSB1072: Feng Yunsheng’s whereabouts
Hearing the Brocade Emperor’s words, Yan Zhaoge curled his lips.
His previous worries had indeed not been unfounded.
If the Brocade Emperor were really to stand up for the Sacred Sun Clan and take revenge against Broad Creed Mountain, they would immediately be facing a great tribulation no inferior to when previously facing off against the Heaven Emperor in their opening ceremony in the World beyond Worlds.
More accurately, it would be a massive tribulation that was even more perilous than that.
The Heaven Emperor had no Immortal Artifact, but the Brocade Emperor did.
Even if the Brocade Emperor considered his status and did not use weapons, things would still be worse than back then.
Yan Zhaoge and Broad Creed Mountain had prepared for many years beforehand to be able to deal with the Heaven Emperor during their opening ceremony.
Even if the Female Emperor, Nie Jingshen and Bai Tao had not arrived, Yan Zhaoge would still have had the Later Earth Text to rely on.
Yet, if the Brocade Emperor were to find trouble for them now, it would not be of any use against him.
Still, Meng Wan did not reply immediately on hearing the Brocade Emperor’s question.
She turned to look at Chen Mingying.
As compared to her father who had suddenly appeared before her and her mother who had already long since died and whom she had no memories of, Meng Wan was only truly close to her cherished Master, Chen Mingying, who had nurtured her and taught her ever since young.
Meanwhile, Chen Mingying also treated Meng Wan like her own daughter.
There was probably no one in this world who understood Meng Wan better than she did.
Therefore, from Meng Wan’s gaze, Chen Mingying knew that she had already come to a conclusion regarding this matter, just that she valued her opinion and wished to hear it.
Over the years, Chen Mingying had gradually come to gain a strong sense of belonging after having joined Turbid Wave Pavilion.
She was not a diehard factionist in the first place. She would not have chosen to join Turbid Wave Pavilion after the fall of the Sacred Sun Clan otherwise.
So many years having passed, the shadow of the Sacred Sun Clan had become increasingly faint within her heart as it was more of nostalgia rather than hatred that she felt in her impressions.
Looking at Meng Wan, Chen Mingying asked gently, “Wan’er, you aren’t willing to make things difficult for Muge, right?”
“Please, Master, while this disciple lost the Extreme Yin Crown in a battle with senior apprentice-sister Feng that year, I am true to my conscience when I say that I used my full strength back then,” Meng Wan said calmly, “That battle drew it all to a close.”
“It was also thanks to senior apprentice-sister Feng that this disciple learned that you, Master, are still of this world, also learning that you are at Turbid Wave Pavilion as only then was I able to meet you again today.”
“This disciple does not wish to compete with Broad Creed Mountain anymore.”
Chen Mingying nodded slowly, “Your father was asking for your opinion, Wan’er. Your Master will respect your decision, whatever it may be.”
Meng Wan said, “This disciple thanks Master for your understanding.”
&n
bsp; She turned to look at the Brocade Emperor, “The Sacred Sun Clan is already a thing of the past to your daughter. Yet, it was ultimately where I originated from. I do find it sad that it has vanished.”
“I hope that father will be able to lend a helping hand and arrange for the Sacred Sun Clan to be reopened in the World beyond Worlds, continuing its lineage.”
She was only mentioning the World beyond Worlds and not the Eight Extremities World because she wished for a permanent end to be put to the former enmity between the Sacred Sun Clan and Broad Creed Mountain.
“In the World beyond Worlds, there is a senior apprentice-brother Tang, Tang Yonghao, who was also formerly of the Sacred Sun Clan. I heard you mention that he has entered the Southeastern Exalt’s lineage, Master,” Meng Wan said, “While conversing with him that year, he expressed a desire to extend the lineage of the Sacred Sun Clan and revive it. With father’s support, there naturally would be no obstacle to this.”
The newly established Sacred Sun Clan in the World beyond Worlds would also be close with Golden Court Mountain as it would not be likely at all for a conflict to arise between them and Broad Creed Mountain.
The Brocade Emperor nodded warmly, “That is naturally not a problem.”
Meng Wan looked at Chen Mingying, “Would Master be willing to head to the World beyond Worlds?”
“I will not be going,” Chen Mingying smiled, shaking her head, “Your Master is a member of Turbid Wave Pavilion now.”
Meng Wan gently held her Master’s hands.
The Brocade Emperor smiled, “I remember you mentioning before, Wan’er, that besides your Master, there was also a senior apprentice-sister you were closest to in your younger years?”
“Why is it that from your earlier conversation, she seems to be a Broad Creed Mountain disciple?”
Meng Wan realised, “Oh, I did not explain this to father clearly before. Senior apprentice-sister Feng was indeed my senior apprentice-sister from the Sacred Sun Clan. Still, because of oppression within the clan, she fled and eventually joined Broad Creed Mountain.”
The Brocade Emperor thought about it, “Is it that female disciple of Broad Creed Mountain who wields the Extreme Yin Crown, the one who is called Feng Yunsheng?”
Meng Wan nodded, “That’s right. Senior apprentice-sister Feng was originally called Feng Muge. After leaving the Sacred Sun Clan, she changed her name to Feng Yunsheng.”
She turned and glanced at Chen Mingying, “Besides Master, I really miss senior apprentice-sister Feng too, just that I wonder where she is now.”
“For that, we would have to ask somebody from Broad Creed Mountain,” The Brocade Emperor smiled, gazing at the courtyard outside.
Meng Wan and Chen Mingying were both taken aback by this as they turned and followed the Brocade Emperor’s gaze, only now seeing Yan Zhaoge.
They were probably even more familiar with Yan Zhaoge’s appearance somewhat than the Brocade Emperor was.
On seeing Yan Zhaoge, they were both slightly startled but quickly regained their calm.
“Before the Fallen Deity, Turbid Wave Pavilion’s Chen Mingying expresses greetings,” Chen Mingying stood up and calmly bowed towards Yan Zhaoge.
As news was spread by the Eight Extremities World’s Broad Creed Mountain martial practitioners, Yan Zhaoge’s numerous grand feats in the World beyond Worlds had already long since spread throughout the Eight Extremities World.
The name of Fallen Deity resounded fully throughout the entire world.
Meng Wan too rose and greeted Yan Zhaoge, “Senior Brother Yan.”
Yan Zhaoge met the Brocade Emperor’s gaze, his expression as per usual, “The Eight Extremities World is incomparably honoured at the Brocade Emperor’s venerated descent.”
He nodded at Meng Wan and Chen Mingying, “Greetings, you two.”
Meng Wan said, “Senior apprentice-brother Tang has an extremely good impression of Senior Brother Yan, having always looked up to you greatly. If the Sacred Sun Clan can be reestablished within the World beyond Worlds, he hopes that Senior Brother Yan can disregard what happened before.”
Yan Zhaoge said mildly, “I have always been able to distinguish friend from enemy very clearly.”
“Senior Brother Yan, I wonder how senior apprentice-sister Feng is doing now?” Meng Wan hesitated for a while before asking frankly, “I wonder if I could meet her?”
Yan Zhaoge shook his head, “Of course you can meet her, as long as she is willing. I would not interfere in that, and Yunsheng would certainly never avoid you. She has constantly missed you following your being spirited away by Zhuang Chaohui.”
“After Southern Zhuang died at my Broad Creed Mountain, my father and fellow disciples of Broad Creed Mountain have been going westward in launching a conquest of the southern Blazing Heaven Territory. I also asked my father before to ask for you back from those of Phoenix Ritual Mountain’s Wutong Slope, bringing you back home such that you can reunite with Yunsheng upon her return.”
“It is just that some things which happened afterwards were definitely somewhat unexpected.”
Hearing Yan Zhaoge’s words and noting what he was essentially saying, Meng Wan asked, “Senior apprentice-sister Feng is presently not at Broad Creed Mountain?”
“It is not just you who cannot see her from the time being. Even I am unable to,” Yan Zhaoge forced a smile, “It has already been several years since we temporarily lost contact with her when she was out adventuring in the outside world.”
“The final piece of news left behind by her is that she had left for extradimensional space as that ‘door’ which was open would only reopen at least another decade later.”
Yan Zhaoge said candidly, “It is still some time before that happens. Let alone she coming back herself, it would be difficult even for me to go look for her.”
A disappointed look appeared within Meng Wan’s eyes, but she still nodded calmly, “In that case, there is really nothing that can be done about that.”
A smile appeared on her face, “That indeed sounds like the senior apprentice-sister Feng that I know of.”
“Exactly, right,” Yan Zhaoge spread his palms apart.
The Brocade Emperor suddenly asked, “Little Friend Yan, where is this ‘door’ that you speak of?”
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 1073: True problem
HSSB1073: True problem
Hearing the Brocade Emperor’s question, Yan Zhaoge was rather taken aback as he had not expected that the Emperor would continue asking about this.
Had he set his eyes on the Extreme Yin Crown or could he have something else in mind?
Numerous thoughts flashed through Yan Zhaoge’s mind.
He really had no choice but to consider more possibilities here when faced with this unpredictable True Immortal who might do something unexpected at any moment.
He did not let any of this show on his face, however, “In the Extreme Northern Lands of the northern Profound Heaven Territory.”
“The Extreme Northern Lands…” The Brocade Emperor nodded, considering this for a moment, “The spatial boundaries there are more unstable than elsewhere. From time to time, several dimensional passageways will open which lead to extradimensional space.”
“Still, some of them could be connected to the Nine Underworlds.”
While the Brocade Emperor had spoken calmly, his words were no different from shocking thunder.
Meng Wan and Chen Mingying were aware of what these words entailed as well.
Yan Zhaoge’s pupils dilated abruptly, “Even the Northern Exalt does not know of this?”
“He knows, but he is unable to confirm which of these dimensional passageways may be connected to the Nine Underworlds,” The Brocade Emperor answered mildly, “Of course, he would also not be able to know if the dimensional passageway that your fellow disciple entered is problematic or not.”
“While connections may be established between them, the World beyond Worlds is protected as
the Nine Underworlds cannot encroach on it. Northern Guan who watches over the northern Profound Heaven Territory does indeed have the responsibility of guarding it. Still, it is only in the worst-case scenario where all hell breaks loose.”
Hearing his words, Yan Zhaoge and Meng Wan instantly felt worried.
Still, the Brocade Emperor then looked at Meng Wan, saying warmly, “No need to worry. Father will take you to the north and try to look for her.”
A joyful look appeared on Meng Wan’s face, “Father can locate senior apprentice-sister Feng?”
“If we know where the ‘door’ which she left through at the time is located, father can cause it to open prematurely. Next, we can enter the dimensional passageway together in a bid to find her,” The Brocade Emperor said, “Still, extradimensional space is boundless at the end of the day. We would need some luck to find her who entered it several years ago.”
Meng Wan sighed in relief, “It is already great that there is a chance of locating her.”
Yan Zhaoge lowered his eyelids beside them as he remained silent.
As he looked at that warm, benevolent and loving Brocade Emperor, he could actually vaguely sense a hint of coldness from him!
Simply from the Brocade Emperor’s actions at the Star Reflecting Lake of the World beyond Worlds’ southern Blazing Heaven Territory alone, one would already know that this Emperor was definitely not like this ‘good father’ image that he was portraying now.
He had moved the remains of his deceased lover and doted on his long-lost daughter to the point that he would satisfy all her demands.
Yan Zhaoge was incomparably certain that had Meng Wan said that she wished to rebuild the Sacred Sun Clan and seek vengeance from Broad Creed Mountain earlier, the Brocade Emperor would have engaged in a battle with Broad Creed Mountain without any hesitation whatsoever.
Still, this formed a contradiction with his actions back at Star Reflecting Lake.
“It is probably the case that a victor is gradually being decided between his feeling and unfeeling sides.”
