Therefore, at last, The Dim Radiant Sect had changed their route and used the guise of seeking refuge with the Immortal Court in order to cover their real intention.
Besides Yin Tianxia, there were also other experts in the sect having gone on the same journey.
Most of those experts hadn’t reached the Exalt Realm.
But since they had entered into the Immortal Court together, they had already made up their minds to die for the right cause.
They had never thought of coming back.
Yan Zhaoge didn’t know if all the disciples of the Dim Radiant Sect had done that because they had had a high moral standard and a strong determination or Yin Tianxia had been too prestigious.
But the final result had been so tragic that even Yan Zhaoge who was from the later generation couldn’t be calmed down for a long time.
The only thing that could comfort the souls of those deceased cultivators was that they had finally succeeded.
When the Immortal Court and the blessed land of the Buddhism had fought each other fiercely, Yin Tianxia and Hu Yuexin had managed to seize a piece of the Heavenly Essence Stone.
Yan Zhaoge had a hunch that other big shots might have been behind this.
Such as, that Southern Extremity Longevity in the legend.
Otherwise Hu Yuexin wouldn’t have obtained such a precious and critical information.
Moreover, those experts of the Immortal Court who had pursued and attacked Yin Tianxia and his people must be in the level which was higher than the Profound Immortal.
Yan Zhaoge had deducted that according to the limited information he had got. But he still couldn’t verify his assumption.
But one thing could be sure that after the Great Calamity, the revival of the Three Clear Lineage of the Dao universe was full of hardships and obstacles.
The battles in the dark were already countless.
However, the event about the fragments of the Heavenly Essence Stone was the one which had caught everyone’s attention. The huge effect it had caused lasted until now and the situation became even more intensified.
And Yan Zhaoge was in the teeth of the storm.
‘Immeasurable Heavenly Lord... The fragments of the Heavenly Essence Stone...’ Yan Zhaoge pondered that quietly.
While he was thinking of that, he locked all of his breaths, preventing them from revealing his countenance.
Even if the Dim Radiant Wheel had moved violently due to the appearance of Snow Sovereign. Yan Zhaoge still managed to cover that up and no one had found out about his existence.
When Yan Zhaoge had been in the Nine Underworlds, Encompassing Emperor and Brocade Emperor had been beside him and Yan Zhaoge hadn’t fully employed the Peerless Heavenly Scripture. Therefore, the moment those two emperors had approached him, they had sensed the existence of the Dim Radiant Wheel.
However, not only had Yan Zhaoge increased his cultivation base level, he had also given full play to the Peerless Heavenly Scripture to make himself merge into the endless space.
In the meantime, he had also managed to cover the existence of the Dim Radiant Wheel.
However, if those experts of the Immortal Court searched the whole place thoroughly, Yan Zhaoge would still be found.
Luckily, those experts of the Buddhism had already retreated and the war had subsided.
“Those tricky Buddhists really are sensitive. How quick has they reacted!” Snow Sovereign, with her hands crossed behind her back, stood in the space while gazing at the direction in which those experts of the Buddhism had left, saying, “Let’s forget about them for the moment and deal with the immediate affairs. Otherwise those Buddhists will be so happy to see us drawing a lot of people to do something in vain.”
The man who had cultivated the Hill Light Flying Scripture with a title of Hill Sovereign said, “We should also report back to the Immortal Court about the moving direction of those devils of the blessed land and send someone to keep an eye on them in case those sneaky Buddhists will send more experts to disturb us. Also, we should also prevent them from invading into our Immortal Court.”
“That’s right.” Snow Sovereign nodded while turning to the other cultivators of the Immortal Court, “You don’t need to deal with the affairs here. Now you should split into several groups to report back to the Immortal Court.”
Except for the Emperor who was in the True Immortal level, other cultivators of the Immortal Court all bowed to Snow Sovereign and replied, “We will follow your orders, your majesty Snow Sovereign, your majesty Hill Sovereign.”
After they had left, the three experts of the Immortal Court walked toward the direction from which Snow Sovereign had come.
The strong air turbulence in the distance disappeared along with those experts of the Buddhism.
After a long while, Yan Zhaoge showed himself again.
He stared at the space in front of him. After pondering for a while, he set out again.
The Immortal Court had gathered lots of experts to set a waiting trap again.
They must have done that to block the capture Exalted Fire Luminary. However, that movement also made it hard for Yan Zhaoge to break through the encirclement.
Part of the reason why he hadn’t been found by those experts of the Immortal Court was because they had been distracted by the cultivators of the Buddhism.
However, no matter whether those experts of the Buddhism would come back, while Yan Zhaoge kept moving forward, he found the encirclement had become more and more intense and the number of experts of the Immortal Court had also increased.
The main problem for him now was how to go deep into the encirclement.
“Senior Apprentice-Uncle Yue, probably has come too.” Yan Zhaoge said that while wandering in the space with caution, trying to find Sword Sovereign, Yue Zhenbei.
Although Earthly Sovereign and Sword Sovereign had already left the Immortal Court, they must be focusing on the whole sequence of this event since Exalted Fire Luminary had stirred up such a huge trouble.
Yue Zhenbei was not trusted by others and even under surveillance now because of Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di.
Now as long as he could find Yue Zhenbei in the endless space, he would be able to act more freely with the care of his senior apprentice-uncle.
During his journey, Yan Zhaoge had shown no mercy to everyone who had seen him. Until now, no one had detected that he had already toured around the Immortal Court and arrived at the space.
Also, the people of the Immortal Court wouldn’t lay an ambush around Yue Zhenbei to let Yan Zhaoge walk into the trap by himself.
Therefore, the place which seemed the most dangerous might be the safest place. As the saying went, the place under the light was the darkest.
Yan Zhaoge then took an unusual path to inquire about the whereabouts of Sword Sovereign.
“Hmm, that’s...” Yan Zhaoge stared at the place in the dark from the distance. There was a mirror light flickering, which shone out brightly.
“The mirror light...” Yan Zhaoge was deep in thought, “Maybe Candle Sunlight Emperor is here?”
Candle Sunlight Emperor, also known as Sunlight Emperor, who was one of the Five Emperors of the World beyond Worlds with the Female Emperor, Brocade Emperor, Encompassing Emperor and Heaven Emperor.
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 1216: Candle Sunlight Emperor
Yan Zhaoge had already met four of the five emperors of the World beyond Worlds. Sunlight Emperor was the only one he hadn’t encountered.
This emperor had stayed in the outer space like Earthly Sovereign and Sword Sovereign and never returned to the World beyond Worlds.
Running across a fellow from the dao universe should be something to be happy about.
However, Yan Zhaoge didn’t act rashly by coming forward right away and introduce himself.
Because so far as he knew, among the five emperors of the World beyond Worlds, Sunlight Emperor was the one who supported the Qilin Cliff and had a good relationship
with Heaven Emperor.
Besides Chen Qianhua who had been said to have pushed the door to the immortality, Female Emperor and the Heaven Emperor were the ones who had become the True Immortal later than the other emperors.
Sunlight Emperor and Brocade Emperor belonged to the same age and had both pushed the door to the immortality thousands of years ago.
At that time, they had also both made contact with Dim Radiant Emperor, who had also been one of the Five Emperors with them.
Encompassing Emperor who had pushed the door to the immortality even earlier was the oldest one of the Five Emperors of the World beyond Worlds.
It was said that Sunlight Emperor’s cultivation base was rooted from the Clear Illusory Moral Lord of the Jade Clear lineage. Also, this emperor was proficient in the Yin Yang Heavenly Scripture and the Myriad Phenomena Heavenly Scripture.
Afterwards, words had come that he had also learned the Cyclic Heavenly Scripture from the Earthly Sovereign in the Qilin Cliff.
When Grand Xuan Dynasty had just gained a foothold in the Royal Reed Sea in the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory, its unique martial art seemed to have copied the Five Fives Seven Fowl Fan, which was a precious weapon of Clear Illusory Moral Lord. Therefore, someone had assumed that Candle Sunlight was the person who had supported the Grand Xuan Dynasty.
After that, only after the disciple of Candle Sunlight Emperor had denied that directly had that rumor been stopped.
However, now come to think about it, it was not so surprised to find that Sunlight Emperor had a great relationship with Heaven Emperor.
After all, according to what Wang Pu had told Yan Zhaoge in the Jade Capital Crag, Sunlight Emperor had helped Heaven Emperor push the door to the immortality.
“Also he is also from the Three Clear Lineage, however...” Yan Zhaoge stopped there while staring at the place in the distance.
In the mirror light far away, there was a bit candlelight flickering.
Yan Zhaoge pondered, ‘That must be the Light In Mirror.’
Among the Five Emperors of the World beyond Worlds, Female Emperor and Heaven Emperor hadn’t refined their own immortal weapons because they had become the True Immortal later than the other three emperors and hadn’t had enough time to collect the material.
Although Female Emperor was the disciple of Astro Sovereign, the peerless immortal weapon which Astro Sovereign had refined when he had been the True Immortal had already been destroyed in a battle.
Except for Female Emperor and Heaven Emperor, Encompassing Emperor, Brocade Emperor and Sunlight Emperor all had peerless immortal weapon with them.
Light In Mirror was said to be the peerless immortal weapon of Sunlight Emperor which was able to enlighten the sky and the earth. This famous weapon with a powerful reputation had always been employed by Sunlight Emperor in numerous battles over these years.
“That’s...” The expression in Yan Zhaoge’s eyes went frozen. After that, the light in the mirror suddenly began to brighten.
There was a red light showing inside of the golden fire light.
Then a red fire flew from the Light In Mirror, drawing a red line in the space.
Yan Zhaoge only felt that red fire light quite familiar to him.
“Mars Halberd?” Yan Zhaoge murmured that with light flashed in his eyes.
It seemed that when Exalted Fire Luminary had created a tremendous uproar in the Immortal Court, Mars Halberd hadn’t been with him.
After that, perhaps Mars Halberd had detected the changes of the situation or Suo Mingzhang had noticed him, as a result, Mars Halberd had also come to this area.
However, since there were too many experts of the Immortal Court in this area, Mars Halberd was not able to go too deep. So he had chosen to stay at the outside, trying to look for some chances.
However, he had somehow run into Candle Sunlight Emperor.
‘I wonder what they have talked about.’ Yan Zhaoge pondered that, ‘But it seems that they have agreed to go on separate ways.’
As he thought of that, Yan Zhaoge still kept observing his surroundings while chasing after Mars Halberd.
Mars Halberd always gave out ruthless attack, but he was not good at hiding himself.
Thus it was even harder for him to wander in this area since he could be found by the experts of the Immortal Court at any time.
Clearly, Mars Halberd knew about that too. So he had been extremely alert.
Therefore, as Yan Zhaoge revealed the sound of himself to Mars Halberd on purpose, the latter found out about that right away.
However, seeing it was Yan Zhaoge who was following him, Mars Halberd felt at ease at once.
Of course, Mars Halberd also felt a bit awkward.
Because he had already known that his attack at that time had sent Yan Zhaoge and Fu Ting to the universe of the Immortal Court by mistake.
“Should I call you Senior Ye?” Yan Zhaoge said that breezily as if nothing had happened between them while giving his obeisance to Mars Halberd with a smile.
Hearing that, the fire giant who had been transformed by Mars Halberd fell in to silence for a short while, then he shook his head while saying, “Ye Yang has already died. Now I am only a peerless immortal weapon in this world. I’m Mars Halberd.”
“This place is inconvenient for us to talk. Let’s move to another area, is that fine with you?” Yan Zhaoge waved his hands while saying, “Those people of the Immortal Court are all around of this place. I also got some issues with them.”
Mars Halberd nodded immediately, saying, “That’s what I have been thinking.”
After that, they both flew away, in order to stay far away from the encirclement of the Immortal Court for the moment.
The moment they stood steady on the ground, Mars Halberd said first, “Although I didn’t mean for what I have done at that time, I still felt sorry for you and your friend when I knew about that. I did have some old grudges with the disciple of Daoist Xuanzhong, but I never wanted the disciples of our orthodox Daoism be harmed by those evil persons.”
Yan Zhaoge stared at him while saying with a meaningful tone, “Even if Brocade Emperor has made use of the people of the Immortal Court to set you up and almost destroyed you in the Nine Underworlds?”
“I won’t vent my anger on the people of the young generation. Fu Jinxiu is the only one who should be responsible for that.” Mars Halberd responded without any hesitation, “Moreover, even if I want to revenge myself on Fu Tingxiu, I won’t let any devils of the external dao get involved.”
Yan Zhaoge smiled and said, “So, you didn’t have an enjoyable conversation with Sunlight Emperor?”
The face of the fire giant was covered by the flames, so no one could see the look on his face.
However, it was still able to hear the appreciation in his words “You were already there when I met Candle Sunlight Emperor? I didn’t even find your existence. Now come to think of it, the reason why I was able to detect your trace was because you have hinted me deliberately?”
“I’m flattered. Actually, I only saw you leave at that time.” Yan Zhaoge smiled and answered.
The fire giant nodded slowly. Then he shook his head while saying, “Candle Sunlight and I have separated with each other by mutual consent. It’ll be easy for us to be found by those devils of the external dao. So we have agreed that he would inform me about the details after he managed to get some information. Then, we will make plans.”
Yan Zhaoge was clear that Mars Halberd hadn’t fully trusted Sunlight Emperor.
Sunlight Emperor had always been the supporter of Earthly Sovereign. This time Exalted Fire Luminary had stirred up troubles in the Immortal Court, the World beyond Worlds which was stuck in the middle was in an embarrassed situation.
What this thing would end up with was still uncertain.
“But fellow daoist Yan, why did you come here?” The fire giant asked, “Have you happened to be here or have you also come here on purpose to search for Mingzhang?”
/>
Yan Zhaoge said, “When the thing with Dim Radiant Sect has happened, you have been in the Ancient Cold Abyss. Now since you have already been out, I wonder how much you know about what have happened at that time?”
“I’ve heard someone talk about it.” Mars Halberd said, “But I don’t know about the details.”
Yan Zhaoge then told Mars Halberd the essential part of the story. At the end, he said, “Due to the Dim Radiant Wheel and my mother, I became a thorn in the Immortal Court’s side. And as a result, I killed Wang Zhengcheng at last.”
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 1217: They Used to Be a Couple
It had been a long time Mars Halberd hadn’t returned to the World beyond World.
After he had heard what Yan Zhaoge had said, the fire around the giant kept wobbling and jumping.
“The young deserved to be respected...” Mars Halberd shook his head constantly without doubting Yan Zhaoge’s words.
Although his sensing ability was not that good, he was still a peerless immortal weapon who was in the same cultivation base as a True Immortal.
There were only few Martial Saints who would be able to hide their traces from him.
No to mention that he had already noticed that Yan Zhaoge wasn’t even a human immortal but only a ninth level martial saint in the late stage of immortal bridge.
That was enough to prove that the young man in front of him was a superior cultivator.
Yan Zhaoge was already not the same person as he had been in the Minor No Hatred dao arena.
Wang Zhengcheng was actually an old acquaintance of Mars Halberd.
What’s more, Wang Zhengcheng had been the witness of the battle between Mars Halberd and Brocade Emperor.
Although they hadn’t been too close with each other and had many disagreements with each other in lots of things, Mars Halberd still couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.
“You are the descendant of Yan Xingtang and Di Qinglian, I have heard of that.” Mars Halberd sighed and said, “But I never realized that your mother was the disciple of Hu Yuexin. I also didn’t realize that she would make such a huge progress.”
