The people who cultivated the Transforming qi were more flexible and nearly had no shortcomings in their cultivation, which also made them easily go to the next step.
As for Bright qi cultivator, they tended to be lively while also good at defense and recovering. In the meantime, their bodies absorbed the immortal qi in the fastest way. Also, since they also stored the most abundant immortal qi, they were skilled in fighting the protracted war.
Steady qi cultivator gave the powerful attack and possessed the solid defense. Though it seemed to be the most stable way for cultivation, Steady qi cultivators still had their defects of having a hard time cultivating the second immortal qi.
Also, Fury qi cultivators normally couldn't make any further progress. Moreover, they were also likely to lose control of themselves and fall into the demon track.
However, when they were still in the level of true immortals after they had opened the door of immortality, Fury qi cultivators could launch the most vital attack to their enemies.
All the differences which were mentioned above only applied to one person.
As a matter of fact, there were too many factors other than immortal qi that could influence a cultivator's power.
“I thought Female Emperor cultivated Steady qi. However, when she opened her eyes, I finally realized that she was actually a Fury qi cultivator.” Yan Zhaoge kept shaking his head while saying that.
“I've also heard of the things which happened to you guys in the World beyond Worlds.” Gao Xuebo said, “Since Astro Sovereign has already returned, I believe he would protect your family considering that he had been a sworn friend to Exalted Gold Luminary. Then I should be more relaxed now.”
Yan Zhaoge understood that Gao Xuebo was implying him that he could come to the Roving Jade Heavens anytime he needed.
“Thanks a lot, senior apprentice-uncle Gao.”
Unless there was no other way, Yan Zhaoge didn't plan to come to the Roving Jade Heavens. But he still had to appreciate the kindness of Gao Xuebo.
“My pleasure, Zhaoge.” Gao Xuebo shook his head, “Speaking of this, I should thank you on behalf of the Roving Jade Heavens. If it were not for you who had helped Astro Sovereign, we would have a huge disaster here.”
“Besides, there is also one thing you should care about.”
After Gao Xuebo saying that, he looked at Yan Zhaoge for a while, then he added, “The years of drastic conflicts between the Immortal Court and blessed land now were gradually quiet down. So they have more energies to focus on us, the Three Purities. You have to prevent the Immortal Court from getting involved directly. By then, even the World beyond Worlds might not be able to protect you.”

Hearing Gao Xuebo's words, Yan Zhaoge flashed a cold expression in his eyes.
As the eldest son of Profound Sovereign and Spring Emperor who nearly lived in the same generation as Yue Zhenbei (Sword Sovereign) and w.a.n.g Zhengcheng (Earthly Exalt), Gao Xuebo had taken charge of most of the affairs of the Roving Jade Heavens for his parents. Thus, he was supposed to know more inside stories of many things.
What's more, his special warning sounded really subtle.
The att.i.tudes of all the sovereigns in the World beyond Worlds including Sword Sovereign and Astro Sovereign were pretty clear.
However, according to Gao Xuebo's words, the ones that might get involved in Yan Zhaoge's matters were not just Earthly Sovereign and Concealed Sovereign.
“Senior apprentice-uncle Gao, you mean…” Yan Zhaoge pointed to the above with his eyes squinted.
Gao Xuebo said slowly, “I have heard that from Great Grand Master before, but I can't be so sure. You just have to be cautious.”
“Thanks for reminding me.” Yan Zhaoge nodded with a thoughtful look.
Then he asked, “I have been busy with looking for Astro Sovereign and never got any news from the outside. What is happening now in the Immortal Court? Also, has Earthly Sovereign come back to the World beyond Worlds?”
“Never heard of that.” Gao Xuebo also showed a confused expression on his face.
After all, it had been a long while since w.a.n.g Zhengcheng had been killed.
If Earthly Sovereign got back right after he had got that message, he should have already come back to the World beyond Worlds.
In the meantime, w.a.n.g Pu and his fellows also tried to contact Yue Zhenbei the moment w.a.n.g Zhengcheng had died.
However, before Yan Zhaoge returned to the World beyond Worlds, there was no sign of Yue Zhenbei coming back.
“It's harder to ask information about the Immortal Court from the Roving Jade Heavens than from the World beyond Worlds.” Gao Xuebo shook his head, saying, “I'm not quite sure about what is happening there.”
As a matter of fact, the relations.h.i.+p between the Roving Jade Heavens and the Immortal Court was even tenser.
Most of time when the top experts of the Prime Clear lineage and the Immortal Court met each other, they would end up in a fight.
“I've heard unconfirmed news that the Immortal Court seemed to be in a mess. But I don't know why.”
Hearing that, Yan Zhaoge got intrigued, “Really? Do they have disputes with the territory of the blessed land?”
Gao Xuebo said with discretion, “I can't tell you more details now.”
“All right…” After thinking for a moment, Yan Zhaoge said to Gao Xuebo with her hands folded, “Since that's the case, I'll come to the World beyond Worlds next. I hope I could see his majesty Profound Sovereign and Spring Emperor.”
After bidding Gao Xuebo farewell, Yan Zhaoge came out from the Spirit Leaf Cave and saw Gao Qing.
She was in a panic right now. As she saw Yan Zhaoge, she came forward to him immediately and asked, “Little senior apprentice-uncle, little senior apprentice-uncle, have you already met my grandpa? Do you know what has happened to Granny Li?”
Seeing her being so fretful, Yan Zhaoge sighed secretly and nodded, saying, “I do.”
Then he comforted her, “Don't worry. Nothing serious has happened to Senior Chu. It's just she has to leave the Roving Jade Heavens.”
“Why?” Gao Qing felt a bit relieved then. However, her face was still covered with anxiety, “But she has been fine over these years.”
'Maybe Chu Lili didn't know it herself that the reason why she could leave the World beyond Worlds safely and manage to hide in the Roving Jade Heavens was because of someone's deliberate guidance…” Yan Zhaoge thought that with meaningful look in his eyes.
When he looked at Gao Qing who was still worried, he sighed and comforted her. After that, he instructed her to look for Gao Xuebo. Then he left.
On his way to the World beyond Worlds, Yan Zhaoge kept pondering.
At last, he finally came back to the World beyond Worlds via a wound of the sky.
The moment he came back, as he made contacts with the people, Yan Zhaoge felt that the atmosphere in the World beyond Worlds was quite different from when he had been there.
Everyone in the World beyond Worlds had been panicky right after Yan Zhaoge had killed w.a.n.g Zhengcheng. The situation had been precarious at that time.
Moreover, as the people in the Broad Creed Mountain had migrated to the Eastern Vast Heaven Territory and corroborated their ident.i.ty as the essential Daoism sect, the situation in the World beyond Worlds had become even more uncertain.
Most of the people were taking a wait-and-see att.i.tude. They wanted to see how the Broad Creed Mountain would deal with the huge pressure which had been brought by Earthly Sovereign.
The people who knew about the relations.h.i.+p between Yan Zhaoge and the Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion also felt insecure. As a result, the business of the Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion had suffered a disastrous decline.
In a word, no one was optimistic about the future of the Broad Creed Mountain.
Although the Jade Capital Jag in the Northe
rn High Peak of the Kunlun Mountain seemed to have the intention to support the Broad Creed Mountain no matter what.
However, Sword Sovereign still seemed to be weak under the pressure from Earthly Sovereign and Concealed Sovereign.
After all, Sword Sovereign hadn't gained recognition as early as Earthly Sovereign and Concealed Sovereign.
Although Yan Zhaoge had tried his best to help Sword Sovereign to achieve a high prestige, Sword Sovereign was still in the phase of saving up his strength, unlike Earthly Sovereign and Concealed Sovereign who were the legendary ones who had created the World beyond Worlds.
If Concealed Sovereign hadn't secluded himself and made no declarations, which left some suspense about the affairs, the public opinion would totally lean to one side.
However, something which had happened not long ago changed the whole situation in the World beyond Worlds.
One of the original three sovereigns besides Earthly Sovereign and Concealed Sovereign, the Astro Sovereign, had come back after going missing for years beyond everyone's expectation.
Some young cultivators in low grade had even forgotten the existence of Astro Sovereign, but not the seniors.
They could never forget Chen Xuanzong, the Astro Sovereign, also known as the Exalted Water Luminary of the new Nine Luminaries of Kunlun.
Concealed Sovereign always kept a low key. Thus at the time when Astro Sovereign had been in the World beyond Worlds, he even had had a larger influence than Concealed Sovereign.
Maybe Sword Sovereign who was still active in this generation could give a much more direct and deeper influence in the ordinary times.
However, when his opponents were Concealed Sovereign and Earthly Sovereign whose seniority were higher than him, people tended to believe Astro Sovereign who lived in the same generation of the other two sovereigns.
Nowadays, only seldom people knew that Exalted Gold Luminary was a sworn friend to Exalted Water Luminary.
Astro Sovereign hadn't come back to the Kunlun Mountain of the Central Jun Heaven Territory. Instead, he had chosen to stay in the Broad Creed Mountain of the Eastern Vast Heaven Territory. Therefore, everyone knew about which party he supported.
Like Sword Sovereign, he took a stand of the Broad Creed Mountain firmly!
In this way, the situation in the World beyond Worlds gradually became steady.
Meanwhile, the business of the Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion was brought back to life.
Until now, the onlooking people hadn't chosen a side yet. Most of them believed that the two parties were well-matched in strength and the situation had reached to some kind of balance at certain point. Maybe eventually the two parties might both reach a compromise and there would be no fight at all.
After Astro Sovereign had stopped for a rest in the Broad Creed Mountain for a while, he went to the Kunlun Mountain.
Instead of going to the Jade Sky Peak of the Eastern Exalt's dao arena where he had lived, he went straight to the Restful Immortal Valley where Concealed Sovereign had secluded himself.
That was the most concerned thing in the World beyond Worlds now.
Everyone was dying to know about the result of Astro Sovereign's visit.
Yan Zhaoge was the only one who guessed that Astro Sovereign came there only to blame Concealed Sovereign instead of having some peace talks.
“It's about time. Astro Sovereign has to keep himself stable at first after he came back to the World beyond Worlds. But he must not wait to find the one that caused all the disasters after he suppressed the demon inside of him and got healed.” Yan Zhaoge murmured that while turning around to go straight to the Kunlun Mountains, “And it really is Concealed Sovereign that he is coming after.”
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 1194: You Have To See Me
Yang Ce, the Concealed Sovereign, also known as the Exalted Concealed Luminary of the new Nine Luminaries of Kunlun.
As one of the three sovereigns of the World beyond Worlds after the great calamity, he got his fame spread far and wide.
However, most of the people including Yan Zhaoge only heard of his legend but didn't know about him deeply.
The sense of presence of this sovereign was even weaker than the other five emperors at most of the time.
People might even find surprisingly that this profound immortal expert hadn't done anything impressive in the past.
All the people only respected him because of his high cultivation.
Concealed Sovereign was more like a shadow in the times when the new Nine Luminaries of Kulun had dominated the world or when the three sovereigns existed simultaneously. It seemed that he had been always behind everyone's back silently.
Maybe his name only crossed in people's mind when they mentioned about the new Nine Luminaries of Kunlun or the three sovereigns.
No one could recall any of his combat exploits or splendid deeds apart from that.
As the saying went, a clever solder never had too many military exploits.
However, Concealed Sovereign had been too low-key by staying in obscurity for thousands of years.
The impressions people had about him were his seclusion and his compliance to Earthly Sovereign.
Nevertheless, Yan Zhaoge never ignored this sovereign who seemed to have a weak sense of existence.
After all, as a profound immortal, Concealed Sovereign could simply show his deterrent force by standing there.
While Yan Zhaoge was thinking about Concealed Sovereign, the past stories came to his mind.
In the Eight Extremities Worlds, when Broad Creed Mountain had been fighting against the Sacred Sun Clan, there had been seven core experts in the clan who were called the Seven Suns.
As the person who ranked the first in the Seven Suns, Illumination Lord had possessed the most powerful cultivation.
Meanwhile, Twilight Lord, the one who had ranked the second, had been the most low-key and obscure man.
The reason why Twilight Lord had remained mysterious was because he had been in charge of all the dirty jobs in the covert.
Therefore, as the only person who had taken charge of the dark world under the rule of the Sacred Sun Clan, he was unknown to the public.
However, since he had been capable of dealing with all the dirty works, then there had been no doubt about his mighty power.
Yan Zhaoge was not sure if Concealed Sovereign was just like Twilight Lord.
Because as far as Yan Zhaoge knew, the person who was best at doing dirty works such as a.s.sa.s.sination was Jian Shunhua, the Exalted Rahu Luminary.
But it was also undisputed that Yang Ce, the Exalted Concealed Luminary was also hard to deal with.
Considering Concealed Sovereign as the one who could only make up the numbers of the nine luminaries was also a despise to the other luminaries such as Gao Han, Jiang Shen or Yan Xingtang.
Yan Zhaoge raced along in the high mountains and loft hills of Kunlun.
As he looked over from those mountains, he saw a valley.
The valley didn't look impressive, but the plentiful spiritual qi kept gus.h.i.+ng out from the inside like the sea tides.
That was Concealed Sovereign's dao arena, one of the three vital areas of the power center within the Worlds beyond Worlds, the Restful Immortal Valley.
Concealed Sovereign didn't have any disciples. Therefore, the Restful Immortal Valley was just like himself, quiet and silent. In the ordinary times, there were only a few attendant boys taking care of this place.
However, today the Restful Immortal Valley couldn't stay quiet anymore.
A white hair man was standing outside, staring at the valley in front of him.
That was Chen Xuanzong, the Astro Sovereign.
A boy was also standing beside Chen Xuanzong with reluctant look on his face. The boy bowed to him and said, "Our master has already entered seclusion. He cannot see anyone, I'm sorry..."
"He can come out." Astro Sovereign said calmly, "Fellow Daoist Yang can avoid meeting anyone except for me.
He has already had me waiting for thousands of years."
"You don't need to note him. He'll know that I am here."
As Astro Sovereign spoke, the boy's eyes were blurred. Then he saw the evergreen valley turned into a world of ice and now.
Although the boy didn't feel cold at all. But those ice sculptures which had been transformed by the gra.s.s and trees were absolutely not his illusion.
Also, the ice and snow didn't give out any cold air.
It didn't mean that all of the ice and snow were illusions.
It was because even the temperature of the area around the Restful Immortal Valley had gone down suddenly. The place was filled with bitter coldness.
Except for those attendant boys, all the lives in the valley were vanished immediately. Only deathly stillness was left in this place.
Even the sun on the sky seemed to be cold.
This famous sacred place in the World beyond Worlds was like a delicate ice crystal now, which could be broken at any time.
"Fellow Daoist Yang, even if you have been in the death seclusion, you should come back to life now." Astro Sovereign said lightly, "I'm sorry if I have hurt you just now. But I have to know what have happened at that time. This thought has haunted me for thousands of years."
Astro Sovereign only came here today to confront Concealed Sovereign. So he wouldn't care if the latter was in seclusion.
Hardly had his voice faded away, the ice and snow in the valley suddenly began to disappear silently.
The ice and snow weren't melting. They simply just evaporated and vanished.
After that, a dim black blue light enveloped the whole Restful Immortal Valley.
"The power of corrosion..." Seeing what was happening now, Yan Zhaoge got a clear picture in his head, "Concealed Sovereign's power of corrosion was not like the one of the Rahu Star. It contained the strength of destroying the sun and the moon along with everything in the world."
Astro Sovereign only looked at it peacefully without making any actions.
After a short while, a sound came through the black blue light from the valley, "Fellow Daoist Chen, long time no see. How have you been?"
