History's Strongest Senior Brother c1-1474

Feng Yunsheng turned her head and looked at Yan Zhaoge. As the two faced each other, they exchanged a gaze.
“Thank you, your majesty.” Feng Yunsheng saluted to the void.
Within the tranquil world formed by the violent lightning, a lightning suddenly descended from the sky and struck the void.
As the lightning’s light dissipated, a small and exquisite black jade bottle appeared in front of Yan Zhaoge and Feng Yunsheng.
Upon seeing the black jade bottle, Feng Yunsheng’s heart trembled a little. She then went forward and kept the bottle.
“May I know the intention of your summons, Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor?” asked Yan Zhaoge.
If it was merely for the matter regarding Feng Yunsheng and the Doomsday Heavenly Devil, he could pass this black jade bottle to her through someone else.
Since he wanted to meet Yan Zhaoge, he would naturally have other reasons as well.
“You’ve heard of the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus before, right?” The thunderous voice resounded once more within the void.
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 1359 - Heading Towards the Five Elements Mountain Once More
Upon hearing the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor’s question, Yan Zhaoge’s heart quivered slightly.
In the past, after he had just obtained the Profound Sky Purple Golden Furnace, he accidentally stumbled into the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus and had even interacted with some people within. He didn’t massacre the group of people for the sake of keeping his presence a secret, as there was no need to.
Moreover, his cultivation was still weak during that time, which caught no one’s attention.
How did the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor get wind of this?
As he was contemplating, Yan Zhaoge’s face remained unfazed as he answered without any hesitation, “Indeed, I’ve went there before. At that time, I still wasn’t aware of the Western Pure Land’s existence and assumed that the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus was the only remaining Buddhism lineage left.”
“Before this, the Western Pure Lands had always been in seclusion from the world. It wasn’t until a few years ago when they reappeared within the world,” said the thunderous voice within the void. “However, they’ve always existed.”
Yan Zhaoge started contemplating.
“When you were walking around the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus, which world had you passed by?” asked the thunderous voice within the void.
After thinking for a while, Yan Zhaoge gave the names of a few worlds.
Those were the worlds where he passed by as he attempted to search for a way to escape from the White Lotus’ Blessed Lands.
Among them included the Obscured Way World, which was still in his mind even until now.
However, despite facing the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor, he didn’t mention the question he had during that time. Instead, he merely mentioned the Obscured Way World along with the other worlds, as if there was nothing odd with it.
“The Buddhist world that’s called the Obscured Way World. Do you still remember its coordinates and the method of accessing that place?”
Without any surprise, upon hearing Yan Zhaoge’s answer, the thunderous voice within the void specifically mentioned the Obscured Way World.
Yan Zhaoge calmly replied, “Indeed, I can find it. May I know if the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor has any request?”
The thunderous voice resounded, “The space where the Obscured Way World exists in is special. Despite being affected by the Great Calamity, one of its areas was still preserved perfectly. It’s called the Two Boundaries Mountain.”
“If the news that I received was true, some sort of existence was suppressed there.”
Yan Zhaoge nodded and did not continue the conversation. Instead, he quietly waited for the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor to continue.
“If you’re free, do consider going to the Obscured Way World.” As expected, the thunderous voice continued.
“Your majesty, I’m not trying to reject you. Only, I’m aware of how reckless I usually am.” Yan Zhaoge asked, “May I know who set up the suppression seal? With my current cultivation, am I capable of handling such a responsibility?”
As he was talking, his gaze fell upon the Exalted Lunar Luminary – Ling Qing.
“If Gao Han and Ling Qing went there, their intention would be very obvious.” The thunderous voice didn’t mind his behavior, “North Star, Incongruence, the newly-ascended Daoist Suo and I would easily be exposed by the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus.”
“You’ve been to the Obscured Way World before. This time, you’ll be more familiar with that place. Now, your reputation is quite renowned as well. Moreover, since you’re related to the Pill Hall, you’ll attract others’ attention. However, Gao Han, Ling Qing, and I will cover up for you and attract the attention of both the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus and the Demon Race.
Currently, the battle between the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus and the Immortal Court was at its most intense phase. Even if the Blessed Lands could afford to divert some of their attention away, it was still limited.
After the warfare between the two sides subsided, Yan Zhaoge and the others wouldn’t have such a good opportunity any longer.
The timing which the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor picked was the most appropriate.
“I didn’t ask you to go there for the seal.” The thunderous voice resounded.
A flicker flashed across Yan Zhaoge’s eyes, “Then, what would you like me to do?”
“You just have to confirm the identity of that existence being suppressed beneath the Two Boundaries Mountain,” said the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor.
“Yes, your majesty.” After pausing for a while, Yan Zhaoge said softly, “Your majesty, I’ve actually heard of this Two Boundaries Mountain before.”
“Based on the myths, during the mid-ancient era, it was the location where the Demon Race’s Great Sage who Pacifies Heavens was being suppressed at. Afterward, after being saved by a monk, he finally managed to acquire holy scriptures within the Western Mystical Mountain. This event caused Western Buddhism’s propaganda to be spread throughout the north once more, causing the Blessed Lands of Saha to flourish. Then, the Great Sage who Pacifies Heavens became a Buddha. He was called the Namo Victorious Fighting Buddha.
The rolling thunderous sound turned into words comprehensible by humans. The tone of the thunderous voice was still as calm as ever, “Indeed, this legend is right. However, looking back now, it seems extremely suspicious.”
“Coincidentally, an unknown existence was found being suppressed at that location. Since the two match each other, there’s a need to clarify our doubts.”
Yan Zhaoge muttered within his heart.
An incomplete truth is always more deceptive than a fake lie.
Yan Zhaoge didn’t object to this theory.
However, Yan Zhaoge didn’t truly believe that the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor had only discovered the person being suppressed beneath the Two Boundaries Mountain recently.
As for why the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor asked him to go, while Yan Zhaoge knew that it wasn’t based on impulse, he felt that there were some hidden intentions contained within.
If the higher-up bigwigs were being mindful of this matter, why didn’t they send someone to verify the truth in the past?
Yan Zhaoge turned his head and looked at Feng Yunsheng. The black jade bottle was undoubtedly the commission reward.
The Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor was straightforward enough and paid the deposit beforehand.
While Yan Zhaoge could reject, he didn’t feel like doing so.
In all honesty, he was also interested in the situation of the Two Boundaries Mountain and the Five Elements Mountain.
Others might be ignorant of it. However, in the past, he had personally entered the Obscured Way World and walked around the Two Bound
aries Mountain for a long time. A strong guess was born within his heart.
The existence being suppressed beneath the mountain could possibly be that monkey that should have broken out ages ago!
At that time, his cultivation was still considerably weak, and his reputation wasn’t well-renowned either. He wouldn’t attract any sort of attention even if he walked around the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus.
Now, things would be completely different. He would easily attract the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus top-notch bigwig experts’ attention.
Now that the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor, Gao Han, and Ling Qing would help him attract his enemy’s attention, this would undoubtedly be an excellent chance for him.
The matters regarding the Awakened Sky Cosmos, the Sky beyond Skies, and the Roving Jade Heavens had mostly been settled. There wouldn’t be any significant changes happening in the meantime.
He had just passed the Immortal Mortal Tribulation a while ago. Cultivating in seclusion was already ineffective to him.
For the current Yan Zhaoge, it was more beneficial for him to adventure outside and polish himself.
At this current cultivation realm, while he needed to spend time polishing his cultivation, he might not be able to improve by just polishing alone.
If the one beneath the mountain were that monkey, the uniqueness the monkey possessed would involve the secrets regarding the Demon Race, Buddhism, and even Daoism.
For the current Yan Zhaoge, its value far surpassed other treasures.
The only thing he needed to be aware of…
“Your majesty, how long do I have?” asked Yan Zhaoge.
“Starting from the moment you step into the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus, two hours,” answered the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor.
For an Immortal Realm expert, two hours was considered a decent amount of time, even if the time of journeying was included.
However, who would be able to predict what situation would play itself out beneath the Obscured Way World’s Two Boundaries Mountain?
From the looks of it now, two hours might pass in an instant.
“I still have to be wary of this being a trap.” Yan Zhaoge muttered in his heart, “However, the time should be sufficient.”
History's Strongest Senior Brother Chapter 1360 - Where the Daoism Heavenly Lord Could See
Yan Zhaoge quickly calculated within his heart. On the surface, he cupped his hands and replied sincerely, “Since it’s an order from your majesty, I shall obey it. Hopefully, I won’t disappoint your majesty.”
The thunderous voice resounded, “As long as you’re opportunistic enough, nothing is impossible.”
“May I return and make some preparations for this journey?” said Yan Zhaoge.
The thunderous voice within the void was slowly moving further away, “That’s fine. After you completed your preparations, inform Ling Qing.”
Yan Zhaoge nodded. Seeing that the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor was going to leave, Yan Zhaoge suddenly spoke.
“Farewell, your majesty. I thank you for bestowing the supreme martial art to our Broad Creed Mountain’s lineage.”
The Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor remained silent, and the violent lightnings slowly faded away, reverting the nebula to its original appearance.
Feng Yunsheng looked at Yan Zhaoge with a little hint of surprise, “Since when did the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor bestow upon our sect any supreme martial art… Wait, could it be the Life Creation Heavenly Scripture and the Heart’s Will Thunder Incantation that our Grand Master had obtained out of pure coincidence in the past?”
“The Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor purposely did so?” Feng Yunsheng was shocked at first. Then, she slowly came to a revelation, “Right, that Life Creation Heavenly Scripture is the most orthodox primordial lineage!”
If different people were to comprehend the same martial art, they would have their own understanding and comprehension upon reaching a higher level.
Even if they were disciples taught by the same master, their comprehension of the same martial art might hold some differences.
If these disciples were to pass down their teachings to their disciples, the new generation disciples’ comprehension would experience a disparity.
Even if they were clearly from the same sect, they originated from different places, which possessed some sort of specialty by itself.
The so-called orthodox primordial lineage was the lecture recordings presented personally by the Jade Clear Grand Master – the Primordial Heavenly Lord.
Despite originating from the same source, the information contained with this heavenly scripture wasn’t able to be comprehended by the later generations. It was the closest to the interpretation of the Primordial Heavenly Lord towards the great Dao.
As for how one cultivates and comprehends it, it all depends on the later generation. The amount of comprehension that they obtained might even be weaker compared to others.
However, such a heavenly scripture was undoubtedly the purest one. It was the original scripture and was the closest to explaining the Jade Clear Primordial Heavenly Lord Grand Master’s teachings.
In the past, within the Floating Gate World governed over by the Dao universe’s World beyond Worlds, Yuan Zhengfeng had entered an ancient cave manor and obtained the Life Creation Heavenly Scripture.
This implied that the recordings within the Life Creation Heavenly Scripture originated from someone who had personally listened to the Primordial Heavenly Lord’s lecture.
Coupled with the Heart’s Will Thunder Incantation, Yan Zhaoge had already suspected that the Jade Clear Lord of All Thunder – Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor was the one that left the scriptures in that cave manor.
Only, at that time, the amount of information he had regarding the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor and other orthodox Daoism bigwig experts were limited. As such, he didn’t overthink it.
Perhaps, this was a manor left behind by the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor, which coincidentally benefited Yuan Zhengfeng and the Broad Creed Mountain?
However, it was hard for Yan Zhaoge to think like that now.
The thing he was currently thinking of was since when the Broad Creed Mountain or even he himself was put under the surveillance of the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor?
Previously, the Life Creation Heavenly Scripture and the Heart’s Will Thunder Incantation might be something that the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor casually left behind. After all, a pre-investment was better than nothing.
Until now, after Yan Zhaoge and the Broad Creed Mountain had finally flourished, the two sides started officially coming in contact with each other.
However, since when did the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor start to watch over me?
Others might not look too deep into this matter.
However, as the manifestation of the Heavenly Court Divine Palace’s Martial Repository spirit that had perished along with the Heavenly Court’s Divine Palace and only reincarnated after a long time, Yan Zhaoge couldn’t stop himself looking deeper into this matter. After all, the one he was facing was one of the few moguls within the Heavenly Court’s Divine Palace – the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor.
When he came to meet the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor, he already intended to investigate this matter.
For now, the rewards that he had acquired was far more extensive than what he imagined.
“Previously, I’ve had some suspicions, but no proof to back it up.” Yan Zhaoge sent a voice transmission to answer Feng Yunsheng, “However, looking at how the situation is now, it might just be possible.”
Although the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor neither admitted nor denied Yan Zhaoge’s statement and seemed to be mystifying himself, Yan Zhaoge’s instinct told him that it was true.
Of course, he would need to investigate more matters to understand what had happened.

sp; “The Extreme Yang Seal and the Extreme Yin Crown had remained by the Eight Extremities Worlds since a long time ago. At that time, you and I weren’t their owners yet.” Although Feng Yunsheng said so, her tone was still filled with uncertainty, “Also, when I acquired the mortal shell of the Exalted Rahu Luminary’s Rahu Saber…”
Yan Zhaoge said, “The knowledge we currently possess is limited. Let’s not jump into conclusions too hastily.”
The two ended their voice transmission conversation, and Yan Zhaoge looked towards the Exalted Lunar Luminary – Ling Qing.
Ling Qing was also looking towards them. Her expression remained plain, and her aura remained cold.
“I’d have to trouble you in the future, senior,” said Yan Zhaoge with a straight face.
“Before you take action, inform me. I will contact the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor and Gao Han to help you divert the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus’s attention.”
Yan Zhaoge replied, “Naturally.”
Feng Yunsheng then bowed towards Ling Qing, “Take care, senior.”
After the two bid farewell to Ling Qing, they flew upwards and left the nebula.
After leaving the nebula, the two flew back to where the Pill Hall was located.
On the way, the two were still on their guard, cleaning up all sorts of traces left behind to prevent others from secretly following them.
One can’t be too careful. Even if they weren’t afraid of the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor, Gao Han, and the others, they had to be wary of their opponents.
“This bottle seems like a treasure that was just refined by the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor.” Yan Zhaoge took the black jade bottle in Feng Yunsheng’s hand and caressed it, “It’s not crafted by one material alone. Instead, it’s fused with all sorts of spiritual soils and was smelted along with some papers offerings.”
“Holy… There’s the Nine Underworlds Dark Soil, the Profound Shaped Devil Stones, and even the Nine Underworlds Desolate Spiritual Stone. Oh my, there are at least seven kinds of Nine Underworlds treasures smelted within.”
