History's Strongest Senior Brother c1-1474

  There was no doubt Yan Zhaoge and others would make a plan.

  Profound Emperor and Dragon Spring Emperor of Roving Jade Heaven might come to help.

  However, it was just in case.

  If Roving Jade Heavens were involved in affairs of World beyond Worlds, then everything would look different.

  The Sword Emperor might not be happy about this.

  Although he was on friendly terms with Profound Emperor and Dragon Spring Emperor, he was in a terrible relations.h.i.+p with other masters in Roving Jade Heaven.

  Given that there was no need for aid from other worlds and if finding someone powerful enough in World beyond Worlds, Yan Zhaoge and others would undoubtedly think of one person.

  The one who ranked before Sword Sovereign, the Astro Sovereign!

  In the past days, he was one of the Nine Luminaries of Kunlun, the Exalted Lunar Luminary, a close friend of Yan Zhaoge’s grandfather, Exalted Gold Luminary, Yan Xingtang.

  In recent years, many people in World beyond Worlds began to forget Astro Sovereign, but Northern Exalt would not.

  Northern Exalt was the man in the know about Astro Sovereign’s disappearance.

  As one of the most experienced and the oldest members among exalts of ten territories, he was in the time of Astro Sovereign, about whom he knew was finally seen on the northern snowfield.

  As the owner of the northern Profound Heaven Territory, he surely knew more than other exalts did.

  However, that was all he could provide.

  He was hard to tell the reason and details of Astro Sovereign's disappearance.

  Hence, he put it this way that "The one being searched for is here, but no one knows where exactly he is.”

  As far as Yan Zhaoge was concerned, of course, what Northern Exalt said was not enough to lead him to Astro Sovereign, but he understood what Northern Exalt implied.

  Astro Sovereign's disappearance should have something to do with Nine Underworlds.

  In World beyond Worlds, there were probably only those few people who knew the truth in detail, namely the three emperors, Female Emperor and w.a.n.g Zhengcheng who had been dead.

  As for others, not to mention the other exalts, even Encompa.s.sing Emperor and Heaven Emperor didn’t know about this.

  The reason why Northern exalt had some clues was he was guarding the northern Profound Heaven Territory.

  “It’s not bad news. I don’t know the details, and neither do others.” Yan Zhaoge thought to himself. “Even though they know I will turn to Astro Sovereign's for help, they can’t take a risk to stop me.”

  As of now, Earthly Sovereign didn’t return, and Concealed Sovereign was still in seclusion, and w.a.n.g Zhengcheng, the only one who might make things difficult, had been killed by Yan Zhaoge.

  The only uncertainty was the Upper Exalt, Chen Qianhua, who could see the past and the future with the Origin Heavenly Scripture.

  However, Astro Sovereign’s cultivation surpa.s.sed Brocade Emperor’s much, so there almost was no chance for Chen Qianhua to figure out Astro Sovereign's intention.

  Even if he learned about Chu Lili from w.a.n.g Zhengcheng’s mouth, still he needed to spend some time resting himself for he had been previously injured by Yan Di.

  Hence, Yan Zhaoge had a chance to search for Astro Sovereign.

  What he worried most was Female Emperor’s stance. She wouldn’t suddenly change her mind, would she?

  After bidding farewell to Guan Luoyu, he left the small town, stepped again into the world of snow and ice and continued his way toward the north.

  Red light flashed across Yan Zhaoge’s eyes as he walked in the snowstorm.

  The red light with sharpness in his eyes seemed to be bursting out, cutting the air.

  Yan Zhaoge looked out as far as he could to find many black lines, near or far, scattered or dense, intersecting each other.

  Every black line was a crack in the s.p.a.ce domain.

  Since those cracks were unstable in a state of alternating opening and closing, they were actually not the paths to domains or the wounds of heaven.

  Whereas, where could he find Astro Sovereign?

  Last time when I searched for Feng Yunshen, I searched within a specific area with Northern Exalt’s help. Nevertheless, in this situation, if I checked all the lines of cracks, it, at least, would take decades or even centuries.

  Astro Sovereign's disappearance very likely had something to do with Nine Underworlds. This was an important clue that could help Yan Zhaoge narrow the search.

  However, there still might be many different stories.

  If Nine Underworlds was involved in this, it would inevitably take a lot of time and patience.

  Once he got the wrong person, then, he would waste tons of time.

  However, for Yan Zhaoge, the search for Astro Sovereign was much easier than that for Feng Yunsheng as Astro Sovereign’s cultivation was way more profound than that of Feng Yunsheng.

  And instead of keeping an eye on Astro Sovereign, Yan Zhaoge could just pay attention to what was unusual in Nine Underworlds.

  With that decision made, Yan Zhaige chose a crack of s.p.a.ce that might relate to Nine Underworlds.

  In its state of closing, not much Demon Qi could be detected from the crack. So it could be easily neglected by others but not by Yan Zhaoge as he had touched upon the Faceless Devil Scripture.

  Flying over the snowfield of World beyond Worlds, he halted in midair before the crack and formed a sword with his index and middle fingers paralleled together before slightly sliding it in the air.

  With a faint red light appearing on the tip of his finger, the Sword intent of Immortal Trapping Sword easily split the s.p.a.ce crack, gradually revealing a dimensional pa.s.sageway.

  Before stepping into it, Yan Zhaoge turned back and nodded in greeting towards the emptiness in the distance. Then, he carried on his way.

  After he vanished, an old man, haggard and hunchbacked with blurry eyes, slowly paced to the entrance of the dimensional pa.s.sageway.

  It was Northern Exalt.

  He fixed his gaze at the entrance of the pitch-dark path before him, sighed, and then sat down with his legs crossed.

  Even though the path didn’t directly lead to Nine Underworlds and there would be Land of the tranquil stream for Yan Zhaoge to prepare himself, Northern Exalt had to be careful and stay alert.

  As the protector of the north, it was one of his top responsibilities to keep an eye on these Lands of the tranquil stream that connected with World beyond Worlds and the Nine Underworlds that might exist in the darkness. Although he would not come into direct contact with Yan Zhaoge, he should naturally come here to do his duty in case of any accidents.

  The old man gazed at the dimensional path in silence and muttered, “Troubled times indeed...”

  With Northern Exalt watching over the path, Yan Zhaoge had nothing to worry about.

  He went right through it, and as s.p.a.ce before him began to stop changing its form, endless darkness came into his view.

  No stars shed light in the gloomy emptiness, there was only glossy darkness.

  At this moment, the emptiness seemed to be tangible, contaminated by extreme filth.

  It was the Land of tranquil stream evolved from the emptiness contaminated by Nine Underworlds.

  He didn’t stop and continued his way towards the innermost depth of Land of the tranquil stream.

  That would be where the Nine Underworlds were.

  After a long and arduous journey, he could feel the ghostly aura of Nine Underworlds getting more apparent.

  At long last, the Land of the tranquil stream came to an end, but there was dense black fog filling the air, and what was even worse, amid the mist, something ferocious and evil lurked under the blood red radiance.

  The overwhelming horror seemed without boundary, just like the sky and the sea.

  Yan Zhaoge didn’
t hesitate and just stepped into the Devilish Qi.

  This time, he felt his Faceless Devil Scripture, Eight Desolaces Thunder Palm, and Six Spirits Demonic Fist had stronger will of their own, becoming more intense and active.

  "All believe that as Dao is weak, the Demon will be powerful and vice versa, but truth is, there’re times when both Dao and the Demon are in the growth, like the two sides of a coin.”

  Yan Zhaoge was not in a shock. This time, his demoniac nature seemed more naturally to be stirred than before because his cultivation and strength were much improved.

  As a result, he progressed in his devilish martial arts, particularly after he had forged Faceless Heavenly Devil incarnate and displayed the Eight Desolaces Thunder Palm recorded in Devil Scripture back when fighting back Brocade Emperor and Cheng Qianhua.

  With that fight, he achieved rapid progress on the two profound devilish martial arts.

  Thus, as he returned to Nine Underworlds, his demoniac nature would surely be easily stirred.

  However, it didn’t bother him at all.

  He secretly ran the profound martial art of Peerless Heavenly Scripture and immediately comforted the furious demon inside him.

  He took a deep breath and changed into the form of the enormous black Buddha.

  Then, the enormous black Buddha stretched out his palms on which unfolded another profound martial art recorded in Devil Scripture.

  It was the Earthly Secret Seal, a profound martial art about the Earth which was one of the Eight Extremities of Creation, namely Heaven, Earth, Wind, Thunder, Water, Fire, Mountain, and Ocean.

  In the past, of the limited collection of devilish martial arts in the Book Repository of the Heavenly Court’s Divine Palace, the complete Faceless Devilish Scripture was the most powerful one.

  The Devilish Scripture of Creation was broken and incomplete.

  Among the Eight Extremities of Creation, three of them were collected in Book Repository of Heavenly Court’s Divine Palace.

  In addition to the Eight Desolaces Thunder Palm which was about thunder, the Earthly Secret Seal about earth was also one of the three devilish martial arts.

  At this moment, based on Faceless Devilish Scripture, Yan Zhaoge turned into an enormous black Buddha to adapt to the Nine Underworlds and to run the Devilish Qi fast.

  After that, he began to display the profound martial art of Earthly Secret Seal.

  This seal stressed both external martial techniques and internal Qi, and with both combined, there would be many ways to use it.

  At this moment, Yan Zhaoge seemed motionless as the ground like the Buddha of Hades, quiet, calm, and wise.

  However, the Buddha of Hades seemed to have descended into h.e.l.l and chosen the devil's path.

  In this state, he could enormously improve his perception of Nine Underworlds.

  However, it would not work if he searched for Feng Yunsheng by using this.

  In the shadow of what had happened to Exalted Rahu Luminary, Feng Yunsheng kept moving into the depth of Nine Underworlds so as not to be found by others.

  As for Astro Sovereign, Yan Zhaoge speculated that he was very likely in a fixed point, guarding something just

  like the Sun Seal had been suppressing a crack of Nine Underworlds in the bottom of the abyss in World of Eight Extremities.

  Or, Astro Sovereign was forging some sort of treasure by the environment of Nine Underworlds or cultivating esoteric lore, or something else.

  Otherwise, Chu Lili would not expect him to pa.s.s on a message.

  That being the case, Chu Lili must have known for sure that Sword Emperor and Concealed Sovereign could find Astro Sovereign.

  On that account, Yan Zhaoge was somewhat confident in finding Astro Sovereign.

  Otherwise, it would be like finding a needle in the sea, and if he could have been lucky enough, he would have found Feng Yunsheng long ago.

  This time, he randomly chose a place of Land of the tranquil stream to go into Nine Underworlds because he had a plan for a “reverse search”, namely from outside in.

  He would go wherever anomalies occurred in the marginal areas, and then searched for Astro Sovereign in that part of Nine Underworlds or the adjacent Land of the tranquil stream.

  Displaying the Earthly Secret Seal, Yan Zhaoge was carefully feeling every single tiny vibration of the nearby Underworlds.

  From the vibration of all existence in its form, to the vibration of shapeless Qi then to the vibration of s.p.a.ce and time, he would not miss any abnormalities.

  Eventually, the enormous black Buddha suddenly opened his black eyes, gazing far into the distance.

  History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 1176: Encountering The Female Emperor

  Though the eyes of the Black Buddha were closed tightly, there seemed to be ripples spreading from him constantly.

  With the Earthly Secret Seal in his hands, he now became like a source of the earthquake.

  Meanwhile, everything that the receding ripples had recorded came back to his mind as a form of vivid and detailed images.

  There were still ripples stirring in the distance.

  Some ones were big, some were small. Some ones lasted for a while and some disappeared right away.

  Then all those images flashed in front of Yan Zhaoge’s eyes.

  He straightly ignored the fight between the demons.

  Although all the demons had the desire of invading the outer world, they still kept fighting each other violently for supremacy in Nine Underworlds.

  Yan Zhaoge never really cared about that kind of things.

  What he cared about was the people in the Nine Underworlds, or what had happened on the border of the Nine Underworlds and the Land of tranquil stream.

  It was rare for actual human to enter the Nine Underworlds, so naturally Yan Zhaoge didn’t detect any sign of that. However, the border of the Nine Underworlds was a place of disturbance.

  Yan Zhaoge started to pick the ripples which fluctuated drastically, feeling the changes in them. At last, he chose a certain one.

  Then the Black Buddha directed for Yan Zhaoge with his eyesight.

  After shedding his Demon Buddha form, Yan Zhaoge held his breath and rushed toward that direction.

  The Nine Underworlds had such an extensive s.p.a.ce which was even larger than the World beyond worlds. So Yan Zhaoge walked a long distance along one side of the border.

  However, it turned out that what he had chosen at the first place wasn’t really the one he was looking for.

  Nonetheless, Yan Zhaoge was not disappointed. Although he knew that he should hurry up, he never had had a feeling that this thing could be done in one shot.

  He just kept looking and seeking. At last he even managed to find that stretch of the Land of tranquil stream on which he had traced Feng Yunsheng.

  Now he didn’t even know how to react to this new discovery.

  There were some obscure clues which showed that Feng Yunsheng or Jian Shunhua, the Exalted Rahu Luminary, had actually returned to this area.

  However, it was still unclear whether it was Feng Yunsheng who had intended to go back or it was Jian Shunhua who had chosen to hide from Yan Zhaoge and other people at that place in consideration of sometimes the
most dangerous place could also become the safest place.

  Neither Yan Zhaoge nor the Encompa.s.sing Emperor had been able to find anyone when they had searched the Nine Underworlds.

  Although Feng Yunsheng had returned to this place, she had already left for a long time.

  Nevertheless, Yan Zhaoge still discovered some new clues according to the traces left by Feng Yunsheng.

  ‘So they are still in a stalemate? Who exactly is that big demon that was targeted by Jian Shunhua?’ Yan Zhaoge thought that. ‘Is that demon at the same level as the Twelve Devilish G.o.ds?’

  Yan Zhaoge had learned about the extremely daring character of Jian Shunhua from a very direct way instead of the legends.

  So he had no intention to underestimate that woman’s aspiration.

  Or he could call that her wild ambition.

  ‘At least it’s not the Gengjin Demon who looked for another incarnation after Yin s.h.i.+yang, the Sword Demon, had died.’ He thought.

  Since there was nothing else for him to dig out here, Yan Zhaoge let out a long breath and took back his mind. Then he continued to find Astro Sovereign.

  The Earthly Secret Seal was still operating. After getting to several wrong places, Yan Zhaoge finally detected something abnormal.

  ‘It seems that this one must come from the Jade Sky Peak!’ With his pupils shrank, he thought, ‘But where does it from, the Astro Sovereign or the Female Emperor?’

  He hesitated there while pondering over those things for a moment before he kept walking and moved along.

  Now the devilish qi gradually faded away, which meant that he had reached the border of the Nine Underworlds.

  Yan Zhaoge continued walking ahead. As a result, he finally managed to leave the Nine Underworlds and step on a stretch of the Land of tranquil steam.

  The interference from devilish qi was not that strong after he had arrived at the Land of the tranquil steam.

  So though not in the Black Buddha form, he could still detect vaguely that there were torrents of immortal qi fluctuating on this stretch of the land.
