History's Strongest Senior Brother c1-1474
Page 686
The teenager in black opened his eyes, and his gaze was constantly changing. It occasionally seemed as determined as stubborn as before. However, most of the time, it was like the boy on top of his head. Ice cold, and filled with killing intent.
Currently, the ice-cold gaze was staring towards Yan Zhaoge.
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 1268 - True Alliance
Yan Zhaoge felt a chill throughout his whole body when he was being stared at by the opponent. It was like he was stuck in a situation where death was inevitable.
“Brat that stole my Profound Sky Purple Golden Furnace, thine has approached me by thine self. That makes matters easier.”
The ice-cold voice resounded. Nie Jingshen, who was sitting in a lotus position on the floor stood up again.
The boy on top of his head did the same.
Seeing this scene, Yan Zhaoge knew that the hall spirit, Awakened Sky, was able to battle under this condition.
It wasn’t like when he was performing the ritual before, and his strength was suffering from being restricted. The current him would be able to use his whole strength as much as he desired.
Although the sonorous voice of the great dao wasn’t present, the majestic power he brought by a simple wave of his hand was comparable to the White Deer Demon from before who had Five Qis Unification.
Yan Zhaoge’s expression was calm, “You’ve spared so much effort for your plan. However, although you can utilize your magnificent strength to fight against others, you would require time to fully take over senior brother Nie’s body. The Exalted Fire might come here anytime soon.”
“
Yep,
based on how you’re used to calling him, maybe you’ll understand it easier if I call him the Fire Virtue Star Lord of the newer generation.”
Yan Zhaoge shrugged, “Besides, that old white deer might change sides and deal with you first.”
The hall spirit said plainly, “Brat, thine speak too much. Before they arrive here, I’m able to massacre thine hundreds of thousands of times.”
Yan Zhaoge did not look at him. Instead, he turned his head to the other direction. He thought about all the details, and said, “
Tch,
I should’ve guessed that it was you.”
Beside Nie Jingshen or the current hall spirit, a huge Taishi Armchair was placed among the void.
On top of the chair, a teenager in purple was leaning against it. He was looking at Yan Zhaoge and the hall spirit’s conversation with high spirits.
It was the Upper Exalt, Chen Qianhua, that he hadn’t met for a long time!
“No, I don’t think I can refer to you as Upper Exalt anymore.” Yan Zhaoge raised his brows, “Do you have your own emperor title now?”
Despite not engaging in combat, Yan Zhaoge could tell that the teenager in purple, Chen Qianhua had managed to take the final step forward based on his aura alone. He successfully pushed open the Immortal Gate, and had ascended the Leakless Realm!
Now, he was no longer the Human Immortal Chen Qianhua, but the True Immortal Chen Qianhua.
Him pushing open the Immortal Door was different from others.
His strength was already extraordinary to begin with, allowing him to look down on his peers. The moment he ascended to become an Immortal, he would be among the top five True Immortals in terms of strength.
That was just a safe estimate. That estimation was also based on the period of time where he just ascended. Give him more time to accumulate and stabilize himself, and he would be much more terrifying.
Besides, he had the Immortal Artifact, Heavenly Heart Ruler on him.
The difference between a Human Immortal having an Immortal Artifact and a True Immortal having an Immortal Artifact was huge.
“Emperor title? That’s not important.” Chen Qianhua said indifferently, “I don’t even hold this Pill Hall in high regards in my heart.”
A hint of bizarreness was brimming in his eyes. He looked at Yan Zhaoge, “I’m just interested in the Pill Hall’s hall spirit gaining its own intelligence. It also surprised me that both you, your father and Nie Jingshen had arrived here.”
Yan Zhaoge rolled his eyes, “As expected, that ritual just now was weird because of you.”
Yan Zhaoge immediately felt that something was weird when the hall spirit, Awakened Sky was conducting the body forging ceremony in the medicine storage using divine pills and numinous treasures as its materials.
While the changes in arts he used were extremely unpopular, it was very delicate.
These arts weren’t related much to cultivation level. Even most experts with extremely high cultivation wouldn’t know about those arts as the chances they might interact with it was extremely miniscule.
Only those that possess encyclopedic knowledge, and were very knowledgeable might know a few things about them.
“I felt it interesting that he wanted to transform into a human body, so I gave him an idea.” Chen Qianhua laughed casually.
“
Hehe…
” Yan Zhaoge pouted, “Indeed. Only you would do something like that.”
Among everyone in the Pill Hall, Chen Qianhua was the only person that would sincerely help the Pill Hall’s hall spirit out.
As for the others, even if they team up together with the hall spirit, it was all for short term benefits. Deep down, they would be plotting something, and waiting for the opportunity to strike.
After all, everyone’s aim was the Pill Hall’s treasures, and even the Pill Hall itself.
For the hall spirit, Awakened Sky, everyone here was his enemy.
He wanted to transform into a human body to release himself from the shackles of the Pill Hall. He also wanted to heal his old wounds, and obtain the possibility of raising his cultivation.
However, that didn’t mean that he was willing to give up the controlling rights, and all kinds of rights of the Pill Hall.
On the contrary, after he transformed into a human, he would still maintain his control over the Pill Hall. In fact, the control would be even stronger. He could control the Pill Hall anytime he wanted to without being in the core central of the Pill Hall, the Purple Divine Pavilion.
In the end, no matter who wins, they would have to think of ways to dispose of the hall spirit, Awakened Sky in the end.
The only person who would possibly stand on the same side as the Awakened Sky would be Chen Qianhua alone.
It was because the thing which piqued Chen Qianhua’s interest wasn’t the Pill Hall itself, nor the treasures within.
Despite entering the Pill Hall later than Yan Zhaoge and the others, he managed to come in contact with the hall spirit, Awakened Sky due to some special reasons.
In the end, these two decided to work together.
Of course, the hall spirit, Awakened Sky might not believe him before this.
However, Chen Qianhua didn’t mind.
As time passed, and seeing how things had developed, his actions had already proven himself.
Despite being strong, the hall spirit, Awakened Sky was at ease with him around.
Compared to the White Deer demon, the two of them were a true pair of alliances.
With just a few conversations, silhouettes were traversing within the void, and others slowly got closer.
Yan Di, Yu Ye, and Mars Halberd arrived in succession.
After everyone were within a closer area, Yan Zhaoge would have a way to secretly contact them.
The hall spirit, Awakened Sky looked at everything calmly.
As long as it wasn’t Suo Mingzhang or the White Deer Demon, he wouldn’t mind it.
Currently, he was stronger than when he was being attacked by Zhang Buxu, Cloud Conquest Emperor and Long Xueji.
“
Hah
, right now, I would prefer seeing if I can disperse your Grand Simplicity Splendour Cloud.” Chen Qianhua’s eyes brightened when he saw Yan Di.
Yan Zhaoge and the others came to a realiza
tion when they heard what he said, “As expected, he had obtained the Heaven Opening Scripture before pushing open the Immortal Door.”
Chen Qianhua was very strong to begin with, and had also obtained the Heaven Opening Scripture. Among the ten Primordial Heavenly Scriptures, if one gathered the Early Heaven Three Scriptures and the Later Heaven Six Scriptures, their strength would also experience growth even if they hadn’t pushed open the Immortal Door. That was excluding the possession of the Peerless Heavenly Scripture.
If one managed to push open the Immortal Door and achieve a Leakless Form with these as foundations, it would definitely cause one to fear him.
Yan Di’s expression was calm. He seemed to be fearless.
However, he raised his eyebrows when he saw Nie Jingshen’s expression who was changing between being bright and moody.
“Heavenly Young Master, Chen Qianhua. We never had the opportunity to meet each other. Now that we finally got the chance to, we wouldn’t know when would be the next time we might be able to fight each other if we let this opportunity pass.”
All of a sudden, a teenager in white shirt and a jade crown came from the faraway void.
“Long Xueji…” Chen Qianhua blinked, “Indeed, you’re strong. However, there isn’t much fun when I’m fighting against you.”
Long Xueji said indifferently, “That’s not up for you to decide.”
As he was talking, he raised his sword and thrusted it towards Chen Qianhua.

Within the void, a middle-aged and elegant man appeared. He carried a qin case. As he was striding forward, the qin’s melody continuously played.
It was the Lofty Sovereign, Zhang Buxu.
When the qin melody resounded, Yan Zhaoge and the others immediately frowned.
When facing the threats of the Pill Hall hall spirit and the White Deer Demon, everyone was allied, and all of them fought together.
However, now that the Pill Hall’s hall spirit wasn’t able to do anything, and the Lofty Sovereign – Zhang Buxu had appeared; everyone might not be allies anymore.
Fight together first, fight against each other later. The situation was just so subtle.
No matter if it was Yan Zhaoge or Zhang Buxu, they wouldn’t hesitate to change their status from friends to foes.
Even the Prime Clear martial arts practitioners like Long Xueji and Yu Ye secretly frowned when they saw Zhang Buxu advancing.
Seeing the formation erected within the void, and the pill qi released by the Pill Hall’s hall spirit being oppressed, Zhang Buxu had surprises written on his face.
“I have seen Little Friend Yan’s portrait before. Now, we have finally met each other. Meeting you in person is definitely better than hearing your rumors.”
Lofty Sovereign’s gaze fell upon the center of the formation. It was obvious that the director of the formation was Yan Zhaoge, “Fallen Deity, you live up to your name.”
Yan Zhaoge answered in a deep tone, “Lofty Sovereign, you praise me too much. We were just lucky that we succeeded. Before this, even I was very nervous.”
“Little Friend Yan doesn’t need to speak so much nonsense to delay the time.” Lofty Sovereign laughed, “Usually, it would be embarrassing for such an old man like me to snatch the younger generation’s fortune, especially when I have to take advantage of you all and steal it away from you.”
“However, everyone here understands the value Pill Hall brings. I can only be thick-skinned just this once.”
Zhang Buxu looked around. He felt the tremble of the universe within the Pill Hall, as well as the heat that was continuously rising. He let out a sigh, “That must be Suo Mingzhang. I never expected him to interfere in this matter. Now, I’ll have to thank that old white deer. Otherwise, I wouldn’t stand a chance.”
He strided forward towards Yan Zhaoge and the others who were within the formation.
The Pill Hall hall spirit was currently being oppressed. Even if the formation were to dissipate, hall spirit – Awakened Sky wouldn’t be able to recover that quickly.
With Zhang Buxu’s cultivation and strength, it was enough to obtain the pill qi.
Similarly, his cultivation and his strength allowed him to ignore Yan Zhaoge and others.
Tranquil Profound Immortal, undisturbed by mortal affairs.
Among everyone here, the only person that had pushed open the Immortal Door and had achieved a True Immortal form was Long Xueji. Currently, he was fighting against Chen Qianhua.
Chen Qianhua’s eyes brightened when he saw Zhang Buxu’s actions.
Without having any interactions with Zhang Buxu, Chen Qianhua had already held off Long Xueji, which made him unable to escape for the meantime.
He didn’t care whose hands the Pill Hall falled to. However, he was very willing to make it difficult for Yan Zhaoge and the group.
Other than Long Xueji, everyone here would be restricted no matter who was the one facing Zhang Buxu; the challenger wouldn’t be able to do anything.
If the Mars Halberd was a defence type Immortal Artifact, Yan Zhaoge might have a slight chance of defending against Zhang Buxu after equipping the Mars Halberd.
However, he was an artifact used for killing. Facing the Lofty Sovereign, he would remain useless.
As for this formation, it was used specifically for the hall spirit. It had no uses at all towards experts like the Lofty Sovereign or the White Deer Demon.
Lofty Sovereign – Zhang Buxu’s movements were very light, and the qi melody followed after him.
However, the light beams of the formation that Yan Zhaoge and the others were maintaining started trembling non-stop.
Within the formation, with Yan Zhaoge as the lead, everyone was feeling a huge amount of pressure.
Although the pressure wasn’t as huge as the one brought upon by the hall spirit – Awakened Sky, it wasn’t one which Yan Zhaoge was able to withstand.
Such a melodious and graceful tone. And yet, when Yan Zhaoge heard it, it was shrill noise which he had never heard of before. He felt as if his eardrums were going to burst.
Not only was his blood boiling, his bones also seemed to be cracking. Even his soul couldn’t bear the tremble, and wanted to burst from within.
“I would have to gamble.” Yan Zhaoge forcefully calmed himself down, and looked at Nie Jingshen.
Nie Jingshen nodded slightly, “Our luck is quite good.”
Just as he finished speaking, a sound resounded from the faraway void.
Ringing of the sword!
The sudden ringing of the sword seemed like a sharp blade. It engulfed the qin melody which filled the universe, and cut it from the middle. Only a few echoes were left, and the melody could continue no more.
Following the ringing sword sound, a majestic sword-light instantly appeared in front of Zhang Buxu.
Zhang Buxu’s expression became serious. He opened the qin case behind him, and sword-lights were shooting outwards. They went up against the sword-light that was attacking him.
After the two sides clashed, the sword-lights dissipated, and Zhang Buxu halted.
In the faraway void, a straight sword-light seemed to cut the cosmos into half.
The sword-light was like a path. It extended from a faraway place to where they were at.
On the path, there was a silhouette that was advancing forward. The speed wasn’t slow or fast, and yet it instantly arrived in front of everyone.
Nie Jingshen was the first to give his greetings, “Disciple Nie Jingshen greets master.”
Yan Zhaoge smiled and said, “Yan Zhaoge greets senior apprentice-uncle Yue.”
Yan Di also said, “Senior apprentice-brother Yue.”
He was a middle-aged man with a tall crown and vintage clothing. He looked like he was in his forties. He was calm without any expression, and his gaze was sharp.
He seemed like a sword that split the heavens. While he didn’t show off any of his aura and just stood still, he seemed like a majestic mountain tall enough to reach the skies. He definitely attracted the admiration of many others.
The one that came was one of the three sovereigns of the World beyond Worlds. He was the master of Kunlun Mountain’s Northern High Peak’s Jade Capital Crag.
Sword Sovereign, Yue Zhenbei!
He was the New Nine Luminaries of Kunlun, the disciple of the Exalted Gold Luminary – Yan Xintang. With the identity of a junior, he was classified as the Three Sovereigns of World beyond Worlds together with Exalted Earth Luminary – Jiang Shen and Exalted Concealed Luminary – Yang Ce.
Within the World beyond Worlds and the Roving Jade Heavens, he was the youngest Profound Immortal expert among his peers within the Three Clear Lineage’s disciple.
Previously, he had always been at the outskirts void, and had never returned to the World beyond Worlds.
Yan Zhaoge never expected his first time meeting senior apprentice-uncle Yue would be in this Pill Hall.
Other than the Exalted Fire – Suo Mingzhang, Yan Zhaoge noticed that there were some other people who had entered the Pill Hall as well. Yan Zhaoge had guessed that Yue Zhenbei was among them, but couldn’t justify his guess.
Which was why he said he had to gamble.
Just like what Nie Jingshen had said, Yan Zhaoge and the others’ luck wasn’t bad.
Yue Zhenbei’s expression was serious. He only nodded slightly towards Yan Zhaoge and the others as a form of courtesy, and his gaze shifted towards Zhang Buxu.
“Yue Zhenbei… Yan Xintang’s disciple.” Zhang Buxu was also looking at Yue Zhenbei, “Junior Apprentice-brother Kong perished by your sword, right? I’m not a filial person, and always made my master mad. Luckily, junior apprentice-brother Kong was there to replace my filiality. And yet, he was killed by you.”
A jade-decorated qin appeared on his palm, “Let me witness how much of Yan Xintang’s teachings have you managed to inherit.”
The qin melody resounded again. Green, red, black and white coloured sword-lights filled the sky, and intersected with each other. They seemed to have nurtured boundless profound phenomena, yet also seemed to contain an extremely horrifying destructive energy. The sword-lights all filled the sky, and slashed towards Yue Zhenbei.
