Time was like water. Yan Zhaoge waited patiently and finally ushered in the dawn.
He received a message from Yan Di.
Yan Di, Mars Halberd, and others have already found him and were about to arrive.
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 1243 - Prideful Sword of the Divine Lands
POSTED ON JULY 15, 2020 BY MAXIMUS
In the Original Nebula, it was very hard to communicate with each other, as lags and delays were very common.
After receiving the message from Yan Do, Yan Zhaoge knew that Yan Di and the others had already arrived at the Original Nebula quite some time ago.
After receiving the news, Yan Zhaoge was delighted. However, he didn’t forget the important matters
Based on the time, the Immortal Court should already have their suspicions arose, and realised that they had lost contact with Frigid Thunder Emperor and the others.
Their main focus was on Fire Exalt, Suo Mingzhang. However, the disappearance of Ruan Mingyan and the others meant that someone else was in Original Nebula.
It was most likely Yan Zhaoge and Mars Halberd.
Naturally, this would cause the people within the Immortal Court to prioritize this matter.
The Mars Halberd was taking a huge risk in bringing Yan Di and the others back to the Original Nebula.
If the top experts of the Immortal Court didn’t continue their search for Suo Mingzhang, they would have already entered the Original Nebula.
Yan Zhaoge maintained his concealed presence, and was going around the chaotic and ancient space.
After communicating for a few times, he finally built a more stable connection with Yan Di, and had asked to meet up with him.
“You’re all here.” After seeing Yan Di, Yan Zhaoge brought them into the shady area engulfed by the Dim Radiant Wheel.
Other than Yan Di and Mars Halberd, Nie Jingshen and the others had also arrived together.
An unexpected fifth person appeared.
She was a tall woman with green clothing. Her eyebrows were like a drawing.
Although she seemed very normal while standing there, she was like a longsword that was sheathed. Her sharp demeanor was radiating, and her strong aura was overbearing.
She was no stranger to Yan Zhaoge. However, this was the first time he had seen her true self.
Prideful Sword of the Divine Lands, Yu Ye.
After “Little Sword God” Long Xueji, she was the Prime Clear lineage’s most outstanding genius, and had the same reputation as “Sword Shaking Nine Heavens” He Mian.
She was as radiating as the “Kunlun’s God Shocking Dragon, Youth Enlightening Eight Sects” in the World beyond Worlds. In the past few years, Roving Jade Heaven even had the sentence “Nine Heavens Soaring Solo Crane, Fragrant Splendour Fills Divine Lands” being spread around.
The first half of the sentence refers to the current Sacred Court Exalt He Mian, while the latter refers to Yu Ye.
The two of them were also praised by the Roving Jade Heaven as the twin supreme heaven’s favoured.
The other reason why Yan Zhaoge was familiar with her was because she was the granddaughter of Profound Sovereign Gao Qingxuan and Dragon Spring Emperor Long Xingquan.
She was Long Hanhua’s cousin, and the second cousin of Gao Qing.
Profound Sovereign – Gao Qingxuan and Dragon Spring Emperor – Long Xingquan had three childrens.
The eldest son was Gao Xuebo.
The second child was a girl named Long Xuening.
The youngest son was Long Xueji.
Yu Ye’s mother was Gao Qingxuan and Long Xingquan’s second daughter, Long Xuening.
Long Xuening and her husband married fairly early, but were late to give birth. Because of this, Yu Ye was younger than Long Hanhua.
When Yu Ye was born, Long Xuening and her husband had both passed away. Yu Ye was raised by her grandparents Long Xingquan and Gao Qingxuan.
She was very talented, and her name started roaming around the Roving Jade Heavens.
Everyone praises her for having the traits of Profound Sovereign and Vine Sovereign. However, Gao Qingxuan himself felt that his granddaughter’s potential was unordinary, and was comparable to the Roving Jade Heaven’s number one sword, which was also Yan Zhaoge’s grandmother, Di Qinglian.
The last time Yan Zhaoge went to the Roving Jade Heavens, she was outside adventuring around, which caused them to not meet each other.
At that time, according to what Gao Qing and the others had said, Yu Ye was a Ninth level Martial Saint Realm. Her cultivation was at the Late Immortal Bridge.
Although her reputation was the same as He Mian, her cultivation was lower than He Mian that was already an Exalt at that time because she was younger.
However, when they met each other today, Yu Ye was also an Exalt. Her body was also that of a Human Immortal.
As the representative of the younger generation of Roving Jade Heavens who was being compared to Nie Jingshen and Chen Qianhua, the representatives of the younger generation of the World beyond Worlds, there was no doubt of Yu Ye and He Mian’s strength.
Although the green-clothed girl looked very plain, and didn’t seem to have anything outstanding, Yan Zhaoge who was proficient in Grand Clear sword arts could vaguely feel something unordinary about her.
“Senior Sister Yu, nice to meet you.” Yan Zhaoge smiled and joined his hands together as a salute. “The last time I went to Roving Jade Heavens, you were away at that time. Sadly, I didn’t get to see you. I never expected that I would be able to see you today.”
Yu Ye returned the salute, “Junior Brother Yan, nice to meet you. I also regretted not being in the Roving Jade Heavens after hearing what uncle and Little Qing said.
After the formalities, she looked at Yan Zhaoge and muttered to herself, “Human Immortal? That’s really fast…”
Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di looked at each other, and couldn’t help but smile.
However, Yan Zhaoge was more concerned about the other issue at the moment.
“Dad…” He used a gaze of inquiry to look at Yan Di.
Yan Zhaoge’s understanding towards Yu Ye’s strength was only from the rumours.
However, as long as the senior sister Yu’s strength was on par with He Mian, that was enough.
Indeed, He Mian had lost to Long Xueji’s blade. However, during that period of time, He Mian had just become an Exalt, while Long Xueji was about to push the Immortal Door soon.
Yan Zhaoge had never seen Ye Yu and He Mian’s attacks with his own eyes. However, he knew what kind of standards Long Xueji had.
Yan Zhaoge wasn’t suspicious of Yu Ye’s strength, he was just a little surprised.
Originally, he thought the person Yan Di wanted to find in the Roving Jade Heavens was Long Xueji.
“Before Mars Halberd returned to contact us, senior brother Gao had already sent some disciples to secretly come to World beyond Worlds, and brought a news along with him. He should have arrived at the same time as Mars Halberd.” Yan Di explained.
“When you were opening the pathway towards the Pill Hall, Roving Jade Heavens seemed to have something going on.”
During that time, Roving Jade Heavens had always paid great attention to the Pill Hall of the Heavenly Court’s Divine Palace. He had always been searching for it.
After someone from their sect had gone missing inside there, they put in more effort to search for it.
The last time Yan Zhaoge went to the Roving Jade Heavens by himself, Hao Qing had mentioned before that the Prime Clear lineage had found some clues regarding the Pill Hall.
From the looks of it, Exalted Fire Suo Mingzhang had used the method passed down by Exalted Wood Shao Junhuang, and had thoroughly made a pathway leading towards the Pill Hall. The Roving Jade Heavens seemed to be affected as well.
“After I received the message from senior Mars Halberd, I immediately asked that Grand Clear disciple to report it back to senior brother Gao.” Yan Di said, “Five people. W
e currently lack one person, which was why I asked senior brother Gao and senior brother Long to help out.”
Since Gao Xuebo and the others still had Yan Di’s side on their mind, Yan Di would naturally not purposefully avoid them.
Yan Zhaoge certainly had no objection to this.
As he spoke until here, Yan Di’s facial expression turned serious, “According to what senior brother Gao said, other than Roving Jade Heavens and us, there might be others that would be involved.”
Yan Zhaoge knew about it as well when he went to find the realm of Fire Dragon World. “It’s highly possible that those would be the Demon Race that had hidden themselves from the word, and was slowly planning their steps.”
Because of that, the amount of Roving Jade Heaven experts coming here weren’t just one or two people.
The Roving Jade Heaven did not only contain the successor of the Profound Sovereign lineage and the Dragon Spring Emperor’s lineage, they also had other Prime Clear lineage experts.
Long Xueji also wanted to take action. However, for the preparations of both sides, he was going together with the others from the Roving Jade Heaven.
The person that came together with Yan Di was Yu Ye who had just came back from adventuring.
“The situation is too complicated. However, it’s not something out of the expectations.” Yan Zhaoge thought to himself as he touched his chin.

POSTED ON JULY 16, 2020 BY MAXIMUS
The chances of the Pill Hall of the Heavenly Court’s Divine Palace being fully reserved was very high. It would undoubtedly have many treasures stored inside. Those that were looking for clues would pay attention to it.
For now, since Yan Zhaoge had the inheritance of Shao Junzhao as his foundation, he was still the person with the highest lead.
However, the pathway that Shao Junhuang opened would benefit the others that had some intel about it as well.
Roving Jade Heaven was among them, and the Demon race were the same.
After understanding what Yan Di meant, Yan Zhaoge knew that the demon race he spoke of weren’t just those small fries from the Dao Universe.
Instead, it was pointing towards the demon race experts at where the Fire Dragon World was located, the Demon race Universe.
Speaking of the demon race, it was already considered very unfamiliar to those people of the current timeline.
Everyone was more familiar towards the situation where the demon race’s number had turned into zero. However, their knowledge about the demon race existing in the universe far away at the other side of the space was limited.
Because of that, those martial art practitioners that had medium to low cultivation, as well as the general population would assume that the few demons scattering around was the whole demon race.
The Broad Creed mountain heard some news from the Astro Sovereign Chen Xuanzong because they were finding Suo Mingzhang.
Yan Zhaoge knew slightly more than him. However, he came in direct contact with them when he first stepped foot into the Fire Dragon World after finding it.
Before the Grand Calamity in the great thousand worlds, there were already very little top notch Great Demons.
However, they weren’t extinct.
Through the records in the Martial Repository of the Heavenly Court’s Divine Palace and based on what those people that appeared in the Heaven Court said, most of the demon race had already been laying low before the Grand Calamity, and were resting.
During the ancient era before and after the Investiture of the Gods, the demon race had a period of prosperity as well. The amount of demon race experts were enormous. Many of them had entered Daoism or Buddhism, any many others had also entered the Nine Underworld.
However, as time passed, members of the demon clan slowly reduced to zero.
“It seems like it started in the era of the Journey of the West…” Yan Zhaoge muttered in his heart.
During the pre-Great Calamity era, there were already very little top notch Great Demons actively roaming around heaven and earth.
However, if the demon race didn’t receive any fatal loss during the Great Calamity because of them going into hiding, they would have almost recovered their vitality fully.
It wasn’t clear what stance they would take between the Immortal Court and the Blessed Lands.
The demon race could also disguise themselves into Daoism and Buddha to illuminate others.
“The key point is Nuwa Sovereign’s current wellbeing…” Yan Zhaoge lightly rubbed his temples.
Nuwa Sovereign and other Profound Immortal Sovereigns are completely different.
It’s just like mentioning the True Martial Emperor [1]. It was completely different from a normal True Immortal Emperor.
Most of the time, a True Immortal’s emperor nickname would only consist of one or two words. For example, the Dragon Gate Emperor, Heavenly Fire Emperor, Thunder Emperor, Ice Emperor and the others that existed before the Great Calamity.
Other examples after the Great Calamity would be Dim Radiant Emperor, Bright Connection Emperor, Brocade Emperor, Heavenly Emperor, Candle Sunlight Emperor and many others.
As for the title of True Martial Emperor, his title should have been “True Martial Demon Exterminating Emperor”. He also had the title “Protector of Saints, True Monarch Profound Heavens Emperor”, “Lord of Demon Exterminating” and many others.
One of the Four Imperials, Purple Tenuity Emperor was also used to being called a simplified title. The full title was “Heaven Reigning Purple Tenuity Polaris Grand Sovereign Emperor”.
With the same logic, Nuwa Sovereign was naturally not some Profound Immortal’s sovereign title.
Perhaps it could be changed into a simpler title.
Mother Goddess Nuwa.
Based on Yan Zhaoge’s memories from when he listened to the myths, he had heard of this entity for god knows how many times.
In this world, she was a legendary figure that had really existed before.
However, because of the year being too far apart, there were very little records about her.
Ye Zhaoge only knew a few limited things after going through a large amount of books in the Heavenly Court’s Divine Palace.
According to rumours, Nuwa Sovereign was born together with the Primordial Heavenly Lord and the Primordial Heavenly Devil, who was born before the earth was split.
In addition, after the heavens were split, Nuwa Sovereign had made everything in the whole world that weren’t living beings before heaven into living beings, with the exception of the Nine Underworld Evil Devils.
In the distant Ancient Era, there weren’t any categories like humans or demons.
The habitual way of saying it would be the Ancient Multiple race, or the Ancient Myriad race.
Humans were one race among the myriad of others. There were other races like Dragon race, Six-legged Winged Snake race [2], Phoenix race, Fish-roc race, and many others that were also categorised into the myriads of races.
It was only until when the patriarch of the Grand Clear Lord of Dao and Virtue started the dissemination of Buddhism that humans started to stand out, and end up being much more prosperous.
Of course, many other races also had Daoism lineage. It wasn’t human beings alone.
The Lord of Prime Clear Numinous Treasure was also well-known for teaching everyone based on equal standards.
However, looking back at history, humans had obviously benefited the most out of it.
Following the passage of time, the Human race started to classify all the other Ancient Myriad races as the Demon race.
Demons were basically what the Human race called those of the other races which were different compared to them. Very rarely would someone of a Demon race call themselves a demon. Different demon races would also not classify them as one of their own races.
For this reason, Nuwa Sovereign was deeply respected no matter by the
Demon race nor the Human race.
However, as time slowly passes, Mother Goddess Nuwa did not appear in the world anymore, and her reputation was slowly fading.
From the information that Yan Zhaoge held as of now, the last recorded myth related to Mother Goddess Nuwa appeared during the Ancient Investiture of the Gods. From that era onwards, she was rarely seen anywhere anymore.
However, the passage of time was very long. Many facts about histories had been mixed up, leaving many mysteries behind. The current information held could not be fully trusted either.
Before this, after following the guidance of the Astro Sovereign and going to Fire Dragon World, he couldn’t help but think about more stuff, “The bigwigs of the Demon race are also concerned about Exalted Fire’s whereabouts. Just like what Teacher Gao of the Roving Jade Heavens said, the Demon race seemed to want to continue quietly observing any changes while resting for the past few years.
While Yan Zhaoge had many thoughts spinning around in his head, his hands were not idle.
He clasped his hands together to suppress the five treasures with the colorful lights, and vibrated it together.
The five seals followed its circulation. After being affected, the seven-coloured streams of light slowly solidified from it’s illusory state, as if it was a real rainbow bridge.
“If that’s the case, then let’s not delay any further. Let’s take action as fast as possible. Let’s not waste the advantage that Exalted Wood had snatched for us.” said Yan Zhaoge to Yan Di and the others.
Yan Di, Nie Jingshen, Yu Ye, and Mars Halberd all nodded. They both set foot on the rainbow bridge together with Yan Zhaoge.
In the next moment, the rainbow bridge was flickering with light. The eyes of Yan Zhaoge and the others were blinded for an instant, and immediately travelled through many layers of space.
They directly escaped the Original Nebula.
“The risk is not small when going there. However, time and tide wait for no man. We can only accept the risk.” Yan Zhaoge utilized the time during the journey to quickly tell Yan Di and the others, “Other than the Demon race, we should also beware of the heretics trying to interfere.”
