“Expect for that, he won’t harm any other disciples in our sect.”
Though it might not happen in the reality, but to put it more exaggeratively, if Yan Zhaoge, his father and Nie Ningshen all left the World beyond Worlds, Chen Qianhua would be busy looking for them and have no time to fight against the rest of the people in the Broad Creed Mountain. Even if attacking the Broad Creed Mountain might bring back those three experts back, Chen Qianhua wouldn’t choose to do that.
It was not because he was above doing that. This man’s moral principle was not that high.
So it was only because he was not interested in doing that.
In his view, searching people like cats catching mouses was an interesting thing. Never would he waste that chance.
“Actually, his brother Chen Kunhua,” Yan Zhaoge mentioned, “Although I haven’t met this man for many times, it always seems like that he’s concealing a knife in his smile. We should mind out this guy.”
A Hu and the other people all nodded deep in thought.
Then Yan Zhaoge waved to A Hu and said, “Help me prepare something. I’ll soon be leaving.”
“Yes, Young Master.” With a pitiful look on A Hu’s face, he said, “Young Master, I still couldn’t come with you this time?”
Yan Zhaoge shook his head and said, “Last time you could come with me. But time was limited at that time, and it was too late for you to catch me. But this time, I really cannot take you.”
It had nothing to do with A Hu’s cultivation base. The reason why Yan Zhaoge couldn’t take him was because this time Yan Zhaoge was trying to find Exalted Fire Luminary and would probably make some contacts with the Immortal Court.
Before, Yan Zhaoge merely had some simply assumptions about the reason for Earthly Sovereign and Sword Sovereign’s stay in the outer space.
But his assumption was not completely impossible.
If Exalted Fire Luminary did have made a scene in the Immortal Court, then the situation would be more complicated than he had thought when Yan Zhaoge tried to find him.
Luckily, the only thing Yan Zhaoge wanted was to get in touch with Exalted Fire Luminary.
Even so, it was still very likely for him to meet the people in the Immortal Court.
Since A Hu had no special treasure to protect himself, it was better for him not to get involved in this. Yan Zhaoge had no intention to let A Hu go through what Fu Ting had experienced.
“Yes, Young Master. I see.” Seeing that, A Hu stopped playing dumb and answered seriously.
After Yan Zhaoge and A Hu had bid farewell to Feng Moyang and Shi Jun, they went down the Gen Peak together.
“A Hu, I will ask the disciples to collect something for me. After they have finished, I need you to do something for me.” Yan Zhaoge said that while he was walking.
A Hu replied, “Yes, Young Master.”
Then with his fists clenched, A Hu asked, “Young Master, who are we going to fight against this time?”
“You can say it’s Chen Qianhua, or not.” Yan Zhaoge answered.
A Hu was a bit stunned. After he had pondered for a while, he came back to senses a bit and asked, “Young Master, are you trying to mislead the enemy?”
The Origin Heavenly Scripture couldn’t spy on Yan Zhaoge but could still pry into lots of things which happened to the people around him.
A Hu was Yan Zhaoge’s personal servant. So it was very useful to observe him.
Nonetheless, since Yan Zhaoge and A Hu were able to detect that, then Chen Qianhua and his fellows would definitely think of that.
So Chen Qianhua also needed to beware that Yan Zhaoge wouldn’t set him up.
As a result, even if Chen Qianhua could spy on the people around Yan Zhaoge, he still couldn’t fully trust the information he got.
After all, Chen Qianhua and his people could only get the indirect information that related to Yan Zhaoge instead of the useful ones which was direct from Yan Zhaoge.
“Young Master, you are always with great vision...” As A Hu was going to sing his praises, he suddenly reminded of something and said with the expression on his face changed, “Young Master, I remember that you have said that Chen Qianhua has learned the Heart’s Will Heavenly Scripture. Since his cultivation base is much higher than mine, isn’t it too easy for him to pry into your plans?”
“The Heart’s Will Heavenly Scripture could only spy upon people’s temporary intention, not their memories.” With his hands waved breezily, Yan Zhaoge said, “Even if he could, he could only see your memories, not mine. So he couldn’t be sure if I have lied to you too.”
“So, you can feel at ease doing what I have told you. But remember to stay low-key. Like what I have said, the second son of Chen family is not easy to deal with. Though Chen Qianhua has no interests in looking for your trouble, Chen Kunhua might still do. And don’t forget to tell other disciples of our sect to be aware of that.”
A Hu nodded in a hurry and said, “Yes, Young Master. I remember.”
Without staying too long on the mountain, Yan Zhaoge set out again.
As a matter of fact, he would only stay a few days with her parents if it were not for a special thing which was quite meaningful to Yan Zhaoge.
That was understanding the Heaven Opening Scripture!
While Astro Sovereign had stayed in the Broad Creed Mountain, he had presented the second book of the Earlier Heaven Tree Scriptures of the Origin Heavenly Scriptures to Yan Di.
And both Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di were extremely grateful for that.
The reason was clear, that chance was very rare.
In this world, sometimes the dao tradition was even more serious than the blood lineage.
There was not a single disciple who dared to teach his families what he had learned from his master without his master’s permission.
Most of the time, the affection between families, friends even couples couldn’t touch the bottom line, which was the dao tradition.
Yan Di had protected Fu Ting from being harmed by Brocade Emperor in black. However, no matter how indebted Fu Ting felt for him, she wouldn’t present the martial arts from the Ingenious Flying Peak as a reward.
The reason why she had traded Grand Clear lineage’s martial arts with the Broad Creed Mountain was because she had entered the Grand Simplicity Splendour Cloud and learned the Taiyi fists.
Otherwise, no matter how appreciate she had been, she would only try to pay this debt to Yan Di in other ways.
Without the Taiyi fists, Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di wouldn’t ask for other sect’s martial arts randomly either.
Di Qinglian who was in the Roving Jade Heavens was Astro Sovereign’s fellow apprentice with a same master at the beginning. Though it was easy to arouse controversy, lots of people only turned their blind eyes to that.
However, Astro Sovereign didn’t have any relation with the Broad Creed Mountain in terms of the dao tradition.
Maybe Concealed Sovereign had given the Heaven Opening Scripture to Chen Qianhua for his own reason. But Astro Sovereign had presented this rare scripture to Yan family only to cherish the memory of his old friend.
Now that Yan Zhaoge had come back to the mountain, so Yan Di also taught him the martial arts in the Heaven Opening Scripture.
Although Heaven Opening Scripture ranked the second of the Earlier Heavenly Tree Scriptures of the Primordial Heavenly Scriptures. However, the martial arts in this scripture possessed the most destructive power in actual combats, which was even more powerful than the ones in the Origin Heavenly Scripture and the Cyclic Heavenly Scripture.
However, not everyone was able to cultivate the Heaven Opening Scripture.
Most of people were not able to bear the concept of separating the heaven and earth. Even their souls would be torn apart.
The cultivation of the scripture was concerning a person’s own practice from the inside. Therefore, the original cultivation base of a person had nothing to do with that.
Even an expert who had already pushed open the door
to the immortality might harm themselves.
So even the New Nine Luminaries had viewed the Heaven Opening Scripture together and had their own disciples to inherit their legacies. However, there were only a few people who had acquired the martial arts of the Heaven Opening Scripture.
The same situation was also suitable for the most powerful sword of the Numinous Treasure Four Swords, the Immortal Exterminating Sword.
In brief, martial arts like that were rare but uniquely outstanding. However, it was also hard to start the cultivation.
But that was not a problem for Yan Zhaoge.
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 1206: Transforming into the North Ocean Clone
Heaven Opening Scripture was of great significance to the World beyond Worlds.
It was worth mentioning that before the New Nine Luminaries had created the World beyond Worlds, they had viewed the Heaven Opening Scripture together.
After that, they had also created lots of famous top-level martial arts in the World beyond Worlds from the Heaven Opening Scripture. And those martial arts also established today’s increasingly prosperous situation of the World beyond Worlds.
For example, Yin Yang Earth Heaven Breaking Hammer of the Qilin Cliff, the Jade Heaven Opening Sword of the Jade Capital Crag, the Profound Cold Sabre and the Great Frozen Seven Arts of the Roving Jade Peak and other famous arts all derived from the Heaven Opening Scripture.
Due to the particularity of the principle of the Heaven Opening Scripture, there was no written record of this scripture actually. So others who wanted to learn the scripture could only be taught orally and tried their best to comprehend.
Thus, it required people’s talent and perception to fully understand the principle.
If one failed to comprehend the principle, his soul might even be torn apart.
However, that wouldn’t be a problem for Yan Zhaoge.
Not only because he had already got the Peerless Heavenly Scripture, but also because of his own strong perception.
Besides, as Yan Zhaoge was endeavoring to perfect his cultivation of the martial arts of the Three Purities, he had gradually got a better and better understanding of the cultivation method.
Of course, if the cultivators didn’t have a perfect physical quality, the cultivation path would be tougher and tougher.
There were endless talented cultivators who could surpass levels from ancient times.
The martial arts of different levels would offer different fighting capacities. However, even if the cultivators had learned the same martial arts, their combat powers might not be on the same stage either. After all, there were always differences between everyone.
For example, Nie Jingshen had his Earlier Heaven Nascent Form, Ying Longtu had his Big Dipper Physique while Xia Guang had his Thunderbolt Blood.
Apart from their strengths in the physical qualities, those men’s perceptions were also above the ordinary.
Therefore, when they studied the same martial arts with others who were in the same level of the martial realm with them, they could always have a better comprehension than others.
In certain ways, their comprehension and utilization of the martial principle were ahead of the level of their own martial realm. Thus they seemed to be overly strong in their present realm.
Yan Zhaoge was another example. His understanding of the Cyclic Heavenly Scripture had already been much better than the one he should have as a Martial Saint.
Through his comprehensive study of multiple martial arts, Yan Zhaoge had been able to have a good command of the extreme changes of the Cyclic Heavenly Seal, such as returning to earlier heaven or reversing creation.
In normal cases, lots of True Immortals who had already pushed the door to the immortality or even some Profound Immortals were not able to have such a deep comprehension in the cultivation of the Cyclic Heavenly Scripture.
So even though Yan Zhaoge didn’t possess the Immortal qi or Immortal gang and had only used his true essence to push the Cyclic Heavenly Seal, he could still defeat Chen Qianhua who had also cultivated the Cyclic Heavenly Scripture like a cork.
Even if Chen Qianhua also had a strong ability of comprehending and had already fully understood the martial arts he had learned, he had still taken a fall by Yan Zhaoge’s Cyclic Heavenly Scripture.
The higher level a cultivator had reached, the less likely he would surpass levels, sometimes the possibility might even be cut down to zero.
First it was because once a person had reached a high level of martial realm, he would find that the people in the same realm with him were all outstanding cultivators who were talented and had already made a reputation. The differences between everyone in that realm could be ignored already. Those who were no match for their fellows would already be wed out in the course of reaching to this realm.
Second, there were also limits for the principles of all the martial arts.
So even if someone had comprehended the arts and reached the high level of the martial realm first, the others could still catch up with him.
The differences between each person was not that significant by then. In stead, what mattered more was the accumulation of the martial arts.
For Yan Zhaoge, comprehending the Heaven Opening Scripture in a superficial level was not that hard.
He should focus more on how to go deeper.
After a short period of seclusion, Yan Zhaoge left the mountain again. This time, he left the World beyond Worlds straightly.
‘Not in the universe of the Three Purities, not in the universe of the blessed lands of Buddhism, and not in the universe of the Immortal Court... either?’ Yan Zhaoge pondered that while he was walking in the outer space, ‘The changes of all the universes after the Great Calamity are more than I have thought.’
His journey in the endless outer space was extraordinarily long, even for him who had already possessed a high cultivation base.
He had to find some vortexes which could connect the different spaces in order to save time. Otherwise it would only be a waste of time for him even if he walked for hundreds or even thousands of years.
Nonetheless, since he had already been to the Buddhism Worlds and the Immortal Court, now he was familiar to walking on the path.
And Astro Sovereign had pointed a very precise location to him. So the only thing Yan Zhaoge needed to do was following the map.
However, the long trek was still unavoidable.
Having crossed the barrier between two universes, Yan Zhaoge entered into a new space.
There was still darkness in front of his eyes. The space was deadly quite with starlight in a distance.
Though the spirit qi was quite thin in the space, Yan Zhaoge still felt a bit uncomfortable.
He didn’t actually feel sick. It was just he hadn’t fully adapted to a universe which was completely different from the dao universe.
“This place doesn’t fit for the habitation of the humans. But it’s good for the demon to live.” Yan Zhaoge murmured that.
There was no lack of demons and beasts in the Eight Extremities Worlds or the World beyond Worlds.
As for the Star Universe which were far away from the human worlds, there even existed a few powerful big demons.
However, the number of the demons were so small that most of them had already died out before the Great Calamity.
However, the Star Universe didn’t have many changes when compared to itself before the Great Calamity. So both human and demon were able to live there.
But the place where Yan Zhaoge was staying right now didn’t welcome the humans very much.
Yan Zhaoge didn’t mind about that too much. After he had circulated the chaotic qi in his body, he already fit in the environment around him.
However, right now he was lost in thought because of his surroundings.
Suddenly, he shook his body slightly. Then a tall figure showed up by his side, which was his North Ocean Clone.
After that, the real Yan Zhaoge
took in a deep breath. Then his real body in which the qis and blood could circulate freely shrank at once.
As the North Ocean Clone opened his palms, there was light flickering in the center of his palms. Yan Zhaoge jumped right into the light spot and disappeared right away.
Meanwhile the figure of the North Ocean Clone was slightly changed.
It still remained the human figure. However, there were bloody demon qis squirting out from all of the acupoints of his body.
With the muscles on his back shrugged, there were a pair of wings stretching out from its back straightly. And when the wings opened, it could even blot out the sky and cover the sun.
Those wings were not transformed by the martial arts principle but by the real flesh and blood of Yan Zhaoge’s North Ocean Clone.
Since the North Ocean Clone had already emerged many kinds of demon bloods in his body, not to mention he had also obtained the Kunpeng bone, now he was even able to change his body form to a demon’s body as his cultivation level had got higher and higher.
At the moment, his North Ocean Clone looked like a human-shape Kunpeng Demon with a few demon features left.
After he had adapted to the environment, he opened his wings again and flew away immediately.
Then, after a short while he had disappeared, a black shadow enveloped this space all of a sudden.
“The sense of a human... disappeared... is that my hallucination?”
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 1207: Fire Dragon World
Yan Zhaoge’s North Ocean Clone who had transformed into a Kunpeng’s shape spread his wings and soared high.
It still took a long time for him to reach to his destination since he was in a universe which he had never came before.
Nonetheless, he was actually about to arrive. Yan Zhaoge’s destination was not far away from the vortex which joined the two universes together.
He gradually saw a red light spot showing up in the deep of the dark space.
Yan Zhaoge approached that fire-red light spot straightly. As he got closer and closer, he saw the raging fired in front of him.
That was the boundary of that world. However, it seemed that this world was burning from inside to outside.
