Yan Zhaoge looked at Yan Di who was at his side. One person at one side, the both of them extended their hands to push the huge door that resembles the palace in the heavens.
The doors that seemed to be really heavy felt like it didn’t have any mass. It just opened widely without any sound produced.
In front of Yan Zhaoge, there was only darkness.
As he stepped inside, he suddenly felt the space turning illusory.
After light re-entered his eyes, Yan Zhaoge looked at his surroundings only to realize he was the only person left!
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 1247 - : Containing A World On It’s Own, The Universe Inside The Hall
POSTED ON JULY 21, 2020 BY MAXIMUS
In front of him seemed to be a pill room.
Yang Zhaoge could even see a pill furnace inside.
Many years had passed since the Great Calamity.
Under normal circumstances, artifacts without a master would have their spirit qi dissipate over the course of time, and devolve back into a normal object.
However, despite being able to tell that this furnace hadn’t been used for a long time, its spirit qi still remained.
“Heh, the pill furnace you can find anywhere last time in the Pill Hall is now a treasure.” Yan Zhaoge didn’t hold any sense of formality, and just stored that pill furnace.
As for the other four people, Yan Zhaoge wasn’t worried about them despite them being missing.
When space was distorting just now, Yan Zhaoge could already differentiate that it was just the mysteriousness of the Pill Hall itself, not a special trap.
This sudden change of events might just be the opponent utilizing the Pill Hall’s mysteriousness to distort space, and cause Yan Zhaoge’s group to separate from each other.
However, that was just it.
Instead, it made Yan Zhaoge realize how weak the opponent was.
“It’s not appropriate to call him weak.” Yan Zhaoge touched his chin, “It seemed like he was busy with other stuff, and couldn’t spare his concentration on something else. He must be buying time by separating us, and slowing us down.”
Exalted Fire, Suo Mingzhang must have brought great pressure to the opponent previously.
In order to counter the pressure brought by Suo Mingzhang, the opponent was also planning on something.
“What step is he at now?” Yan Zhaoge thought while pushing the pill room’s door open, and walked outside.
What entered his sight was a dark long corridor. It was dim and gloomy, as if it was the deeper parts of the universe.
Under the engulfment of the thick fragrance of the medicine, it blocked Yan Zhaoge’s sensory on the further part of the void to a certain extent, which caused his sensory to be limited in a specific range.
Yan Zhaoge remained calm. He looked around, simply chose a path and advanced towards the path of his choice.
Walking in this long corridor was like walking in the boundless space with the exception of the starlights.
On both sides of the corridor, there wasn’t any other pill room’s door nor courtyard.
Yan Zhaoge looked behind him, only to realize the door of the pill room he came out from was already closed, and had disappeared.
It seemed to be an independent space, and was floating around in this boundless void.
“This is just like a brand new universe. There are many layers of space in the universe with many worlds co-existing with each other.” Yan Zhaoge was deep in thoughts, “It’s just like the Original Nebula, but more advanced. It’s much closer to having the shape of a brand new universe.”
In his previous life, he had only seen the outside of the Pill Hall from afar, and had never entered it before.
However, the Heavenly Court Divine Palace’s library had some information regarding its crucial area, the Pill Hall.
Coupled with the things he heard about the Pill Hall on the way here, Yan Zhaoge had a clear understanding of this place, which prevented him from being ignorant to everything around him.
“This place…” After going through his memories for a while, he extended his hand again to write multiple sigils in the air.
The sigils which were flashing with plain gold light seemed to have given life.
After that, the golden light sigils excreted multiple purple gases, and seemed to have produced a field of purple mist in the void.
As the purple mist was shaking, the front of Yan Zhaoge vaguely presented an actual path.
Yan Zhaoge advanced forward after stepping onto the shiny golden light path.
However, every step was like traversing through a layer of the world.
As he reached the end of the road. He finally saw a new door.
Yan Zhaoge tried to open it. However, no matter what he tried, the door wouldn’t budge.
“It’s here alright.” When Yan Zhaoge saw this, his heart had confirmed his statement, and he nodded his head.
After observing his surroundings, he raised his palm, and an illuminating golden light lit up. Boundless purple mist rose, and a three feet tall huge furnace appeared in his hand.
Yan Zhaoge let go of it, and the three feet tall furnace’s body started to have changes. It became more majestic.
Its size seemed to be infinitely huge, and was filling up heaven and earth. And yet, it seemed extremely small, as if it was just a speck of dust.
It was the Profound Sky Purple Golden Furnace.
In the universe inside of the Pill Hall, the Profound Sky Purple Golden Furnace that had remained silent the whole time started to tremble by itself.
From the surrounding space, a few golden lights vaguely extended, and were absorbed into the huge furnace.
On top of the Profound Sky Purple Golden Furnace, heaps of steam rose from it. As if it just awoke from its slumber, strong qis were emitting non-stop from within.
It wasn’t a very magnificent strength. However, it presented a very ingenious concept.
Yan Zhaoge was studying the concepts within it. He felt that even the Profound Immortals like Astro Sovereign or Concealed Sovereign didn’t seem to know about some parts of it.
Before achieving a Human Immortal body, Yan Zhaoge could already use this strong furnace that originated from an Immortal Realm a little.
Now that the Profound Sky Purple Golden Furnace’s consciousness seemed to have awoken, as if everything was about to be activated, Yan Zhaoge felt like he couldn’t control it anymore again.
This was within Yan Zhaoge’s expectations. Now that it had really happened, he didn’t feel sad about it.
He created a seal with one of his hands and placed it in front of his chest. His other hand extended, and was pressing onto the Profound Sky Purple Golden Furnace.
The huge furnace started to go near the door that was sealed and seemed hard to open.
As the Profound Sky Purple Golden Furnace got closer, the door which wouldn’t budge started to have some movements.
The qis of the two crossed each other. The furnace’s body started to shrink, and transformed into the size of a seal.
It looked like something to verify its identity, and yet it also looked like a seal of promise.
As Yan Zhaoge pushed the Profound Sky Purple Golden Furnace onto the big door, the whole universe seemed to have let out a creaky voice.
After that, the door that was shut tight finally opened widely.
Yan Zhaoge advanced inside, and the door behind him immediately shut tight.
In front of him was a field of goldenness, as if he was in a sea of stars.
Yan Zhaoge looked at his surroundings, and it was still a field of boundless void. However, the void now had many golden clusters of light.
The clusters of light were like an orbiting star, and were quietly spinning around in the void. Every light seemed to have its own orbit and tempo.
“This must be the control centre of the Pill Hall.” Yan Zhaoge raised his head lightly.
The Pill Hall was the H
eavenly Court’s Divine Palace’s crucial area, and inside of it contained its own universe.
Each independent world was like an individual pill room. They co-existed together inside of the universe and space of the hall.
Those of the Heavenly Palace would be welcomed into the Pill Hall, and go to their desired place through a guide or acquire their own individual pill room.
The place where Yan Zhaoge was at was the central area used to guide others.
Although it wasn’t the most important core part of the central area of the Pill Hall, it was equivalent to the true entrance.
If one reaches here, it’s much easier to navigate to other places.
The main thing was that there was now a pattern to rely on. He didn’t have to be like someone walking around in the dark anymore.
“It’s really like what the rumours siad.” Yan Zhaoge focused his gaze, and saw multiple radiant lights circulating around in the void. Some of the lights contained the mixture of some impurities.
It actually represented the other people who were in the Pill Hall.
However, the thing that caught Yan Zhaoge’s attention more was that some parts of the area had very dim lights, as if they were covered up by a layer of dark mist.
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 1248 - The Core Location of the Pill Hall
POSTED ON JULY 22, 2020 BY MAXIMUS
There were shadows at the control centre. It could be imagined how much of a problem that area was facing.
Yan Zhaoge differentiated the location, and realized that place was the crucial location of the Pill Hall.
The core centre of the hall, the core pill room, pill storage, medicine storage…
These crucial departments were all engulfed in shadows.
Needless to say, if the control centre was like the reception desk or the main hall, that place would be the head of the control department.
A thing to note was that this place had stored many precious divine pill recipes and spirit pill recipes.
It was much more than what was recorded in the Martial Repository. There were some pill formulas which weren’t recorded in the Martial Repository, and were only recorded here.
The core pill room was mostly used as a quiet room to refine pills. That place was the one with the best and biggest environment.
In the past, the Heavenly Court’s Divine Palace’s few top-notch pill refining furnaces, including the Profound Sky Purple Golden Furnace were stored inside there.
There were only a few people in the Heavenly Court with the qualifications to use the core pill room to refine pills.
The pill storage was the place that was most attractive for others.
The reason was because that place stored a huge amount of successfully refined divine pills that wasn’t brought outside by anyone.
The hall wasn’t destroyed during the Great Calamity. If nothing went wrong, the pill storage shouldn’t be any different from last time.
As for the medicine storage, it should have stored many kinds of treasures prepared for refining pills, spirit grass as well as spirit medicines. Based on their value, they shouldn’t be that far off compared to the pill storage.
Yan Zhaoge’s gaze swept around, and paid attention to the spots which were like impurities within the radiant light.
These represented Yan Di and the others who entered the Pill Hall.
They weren’t like Yan Zhaoge who was able to find his own path in the Pill Hall. Because of that, they stopped, and weren’t moving forward.
If one didn’t know the technique to walk around in the space and void within the Pill Hall, it was no different from stepping on the same location over and over again.
Only those with a cultivation high enough till a certain extent would be able to ignore these rules, and could walk around as they please.
However, the cultivation of Yan Zhaoge and the others hadn’t reached such an oppressing level yet.
“It’s a pity you can’t just open a specific limitation. You have to open everything in one go.” Yan Zhaoge gritted his teeth and said with a sense of pity, “If someone else enters later, it’ll be smooth for them already.”
Yan Zhaoge would naturally not easily give up on the advantage of coming early. After complaining in his heart, he then started to write in the air.
One seal after another was made in the air, which then transformed into a beautiful and profound scripture.
Yan Zhaoge summoned out the Profound Sky Purple Golden Furnace once more, and printed it onto the scripture as if it was a signature chop.
After that, the profound runes flew up into the sky, and disappeared into the void filled with radiant starlight.
At the next moment, the light that was like the full sky of stars trembled together, and turned into blue.
The light cluster’s flowing speed slowed down, and stopped forming the line of light flowing continuously without stopping. Instead they formed into light clusters, and were moving slowly based on a systematic orbit which was easy to differentiate.
After that, the “impurities” in the light clump slowly turned clear, as if they were human figures.
However, the shadows were still blurry, and it couldn’t differentiate who was who.
However, the silhouette’s movements had clearly became active. They started searching for their own path, and were not staying on the same spot any longer.
“I’m still not too familiar with this place. If only I could continue staying here for some time to study it, I would have been able to control this place much better. At that time, it would have been a simple task to directly contact dad and the others. It’s a pity time and tide waits for no one.” Yan Zhaoge thought as he continued observing the area.
At the same time, he vaguely felt that someone was interfering with him, which prevented him from being able to further control this area.
He must be the one that used the Profound Sky Purple Golden Furnace to lay down the traps.
Yan Zhaoge’s figure swayed. As if he had a shadow clone, another person appeared by his side.
It was his North Ocean Clone.
The North Ocean Clone had transformed back into a human body. After appearing, he also lifted his head to look at the “starry sky”.
After leaving his clone there, Yan Zhaoge himself left this place to continue his journey.
As for the laws of the change in universe in the Pill Hall as well as pathways, he already had an understanding towards them for the most part.
Now, he was going to venture into those shadowy areas.
The opponent seemed to be busy with other stuff, which rendered him unable to stop them from barging in. This was obviously a good start.
However, on the other hand, since he wanted to complete his task no matter what, Yan Zhaoge and the others would have to suffer if he had really completed it.
It would naturally be the best to stop the opponent’s plan halfway through.
Yan Zhaoge walked alone for a while. After traversing through layers of void, he slowed his steps down.
Based on the construction of the Pill Hall’s internal structure in his memories, he was already close to an area which the shadow had engulfed.
The place he was at wasn’t at the important and crucial parts yet. It belonged to an outskirts area, which was nearer to the pill storage.
After he reached the shadowy area, Yan Zhaoge’s heart trembled a little, “A very strong oppression…”
This place seemed to have a shapeless energy that was oppressing Yan Zhaoge’s true essence from circulating.
Yan Zhaoge silently chanted his profound art to cancel the effect. However, he also became more wary.
If he were to fight someone in a place like this, the level of exhaustion would be much larger compared to fighting outside.
“This area’s medicinal fragrance is too plain.” He sniffed with his nose, and the feeling of this area’s unusualness grew even deeper.
Yan Zhaoge had no reacti
on when walking around the dark void area while feeling the shapeless power.
While he was wary of his surrounding’s movements, he stopped his legs. He found a door within the void, and opened it.
This was a quiet room used for refining pills.
After opening the door, Yan Zhaoge’s pupil contracted suddenly.
There was a silhouette in the room.
A dead person.
Yan Zhaoge’s first reaction was to increase his alertness to the maximum. He was waiting for an enemy to approach while investigating the inside and outside of the room.
After confirming there wasn’t a second person alive anymore, he walked in and towards the side of the dead person’s body.
This was an old man with a skinny and handsome face. He seemed really healthy, and didn’t look old at all.
His eyes were shut, and his expression was very calm as if he was asleep.
Yan Zhaoge had seen him before.
At that time, he didn’t know that guy’s identity or name yet, and only knew it afterwards.
World beyond Worlds’ Kunlun Mountain’s Ingenious Flying Peak; Grand Clear Lineage Brocade Emperor, Fu Yunchi’s senior-apprentice brother. He was a Ninth Level Martial Saint, and at Late Immortal Bridge Realm, “Broad Clear Old Man” Ran Chi.
In the past, he was also one of the most famous experts of World beyond Worlds.
During that time, he was the one leading the team to participate in the battle for the possession of the Profound Sky Purple Golden Palace. However, he fell into a trap, and disappeared along with two Immortal Bridge Martial Saint experts as well as three Prime Clear lineage’s expert. After so many years, their whereabouts were still unknown.
From the looks of it now, it seemed like they had already perished.
After silently mourning them for a while, he said lightly, “Forgive me.”
He extended his palm, and placed it on Ran Chi’s wrist.
Although Ran Chi didn’t have any more pulse, Yan Zhaoge’s true essence was still venturing inside.
Almost immediately, he felt a mysterious energy contained within Ran Chi’s body.
This energy wasn’t dangerous. However, because of Yan Zhaoge contacting it, it almost went out of control, and might cause damage within Ran Chi’s body.
