Thank you, friends who have accompanied senior apprentice-brother all this time.
I will continue working hard in the days to come. Thank you all.)
Yan Zhaoge had always known that his father was supremely talented.
Still, having been separated in the Minor No Hatred dao arena due to Mars Halberd, Yan Di had immediately entered secluded cultivation as soon as he had returned to the World beyond Worlds. Yan Zhaoge had still felt that this was rather unusual.
Now that Yan Di had emerged from seclusion successfully, having attained the seventh level of the Martial Saint realm, the early Immortal Bridge stage, this seemed to confirm this as well.
"I did indeed have some gains." Yan Di looked at Yan Zhaoge, "You said earlier that the Daoist temple you went to this time was not the Grand Clear lineage but the Prime Clear lineage?"
Yan Zhaoge nodded, "That's right."
As he said this, black light suddenly flickered within his pupils.
Yan Zhaoge formed a sword seal, threads of black sword-qi surging from his fingertips.
Even with Yan Di's cultivation base, he could feel that intimidating killing intent and death intent.
That was a concept that seemed intent on slaughtering all lifeforms, slaying all lifeforms within the world. Amidst its cruel coldness, it appeared calm and natural.
It seemed to be proclaiming a principle.
Death was the final destination of all lifeforms.
Past or present, near or far, there would always be such a tribulation.
As long as it was a lifeform, it could be slain.
Yan Di could feel this sword-qi exceptionally clearly because he had studied and cultivated in the Life Creation Heavenly Scripture.
This supreme martial art of the Jade Clear direct lineage and the sword dao that Yan Zhaoge was currently executing were like two sides of the same coin, opposing life and death. Yet, they were connected to each other.
In principle, they countered each other yet also reinforced each other.
Still, in actual combat, Yan Di could basically tell that this sword dao just happened to counter the Life Creation Heavenly Scripture to a certain extent.
More accurately speaking, it was not just the Life Creation Heavenly Scripture.
Martial arts that cultivated in the power of life could be countered by this sword.
For example, the Phoenix True Form Scripture of the southern Blazing Heaven Territory's Phoenix Ritual Mountain's Wutong Slope lineage or the eastern Vast Heaven Territory's Remote Cloud Mountain's Clear Light Locale and so on.
Of course, against martial practitioners who cultivated in other martial arts, this tyrannical sword dao that was filled with killing intent to the extreme was similarly a terrifying killer.
While devilish martial arts were weak in the Eight Extremities World, they had flourished for a time in the Vast Ocean World.
In the World beyond Worlds, a small number of devilish martial arts actually circulated as well.
Cultivators themselves did not care if they were good or evil, but when cultivating demonic path martial arts, it was often more bloody and involved more killing.
However, if one had to find a martial art with the strongest killing intent in this world, even the numerous supreme arts of the devilish dao could not compare to this sword art that Yan Zhaoge was currently executing.
Moreover, this Sword Dao did not feel evil or manic.
Because, in itself, it signified the end of life.
"The sword dao of the Prime Clear direct lineage … could it be the legendary Immortal Slaughtering Sword of the Numinous Treasure Four Swords?" Yan Di quickly realised.
He had never seen anyone use the Immortal Culling Sword, but he had heard of it. After all, this sword technique was too famous.
"Exterminating Immortal sharp, Slaughtering Immortal dead, Trapping Immortal all around red light," Yan Zhaoge nodded slowly, "The Prime Clear direct lineage legacy that I obtained in the Daoist temple is precisely the Immortal Slaughtering Sword."
If the Immortal Trapping Sword could destroy time and space, and the Immortal Slashing Sword could slay all living things, then the Immortal Slaughtering Sword could slaughter all living things.
Yan Zhaoge said, "Let's not talk about Circumference Mountain. In the battle of Vast Spirit Mountain, Zhang Shuren and Yuan Xiancheng's defeat was not unjust. Many principles of my newly created sword art, Slaying Azure Dragon, actually benefit from this Immortal Slaughtering Sword."
"I remember you saying that when you attempt to ascend the Immortal Bridge, besides the Primordial Heavenly Scriptures of the Jade Clear direct lineage, you will also need a supreme martial art of the Grand Clear direct lineage and the Prime Clear direct lineage."
Yan Di said, "In heading to the Daoist temple this time, you originally believed that it was the cave manor of a descendant of the Grand Clear direct lineage, hoping to obtain the legacy of a senior of the Grand Clear direct lineage there."
"That's right." Yan Zhaoge spread his hands apart, "Who would have thought that it would actually be of the Prime Clear direct lineage. That's fine too. Anyway, I just happen to lack supreme martial arts of the Prime Clear lineage as well. It can be said that I have lost something on the swings and gained something on the swings. It is just that I am still considering where to obtain a supreme martial art of the Grand Clear next."
"Still, I did not make a wasted trip to the Daoist temple this time."
He chuckled, "Those of Three Foot Mountain and Wutong Slope are probably going to be greatly disappointed …"
At this point, Yan Zhaoge's heart suddenly jolted slightly as he looked at his father.
Seeing this, Yan Di smiled mildly, "You guessed correctly."
Amidst his words, streams of qi suddenly surged from the top of Yan Di's head.
Those streams of qi appeared chaotic, dim and dim as they resembled a clump of dim clouds.
Specks of fragmented radiance flickered amidst the clump of clouds. They were not bright, not dazzling, not resplendent, not eye-catching.
Yet, they were incomparably profound as they were hard to fathom, hard to describe, hard to describe.
The cloud qi expanded, blooming like a lotus flower.
The borders of the petals were blurry as they were indistinguishable from the surrounding space.
Yet, the surrounding space and even the world itself seemed to be collapsing inwards with that lotus flower that resembled a nebula as its centre.
"Primordial Peerless Infinity Auspicious Cloud?!" Yan Zhaoge nearly blurted out. His mouth opened, yet he did not utter a sound as he stopped himself at the final juncture.
He composed himself, carefully gazing at it for a while before finally letting out a long sigh.
That was not the Primordial Peerless Infinity Auspicious Cloud manifested by the Primordial Heavenly Lord of the Jade Clear lineage. Instead, it was a supreme divine ability obtained from the first scripture of the Primordial Heavenly Scripture, the Peerless Heavenly Scripture.
While it also contained the concept of the vast, boundless primordial universe before the heavens and earth had been born, it was still different from the Primordial Peerless Heavenly Scripture.
If not for this, Yan Zhaoge would simply suspect that he had cultivated in a fake Peerless Heavenly Scripture.
Peerless Primordial Peerless Heavenly Scripture was one of a kind as only a single person could cultivate in it in this world.
Before the Primordial Heavenly Lord had Transcended, he had occupied that position as no one else had been able to cultivate in it.
Therefore, Yan Zhaoge was truly taken aback as he looked at that nebula.
But now, he had an idea of what to do.
It was not the Primordial Peerless Infinity Auspicious Cloud of the Jade Clear lineage.
Instead, it was Taiyi, the head of the Grand Cosmos Five Manifestations of the Grand Clear lineage!
Yan Zhaoge now had the urge to sing loudly.
He had worn out iron shoes in search of it, yet found it by chance!
While this was not the Taiyi Fist, just based on this nebula and his foundation of the Peerless Heavenly Scripture and the convenience of simultaneously cultivating in the Three Purities, the Taiyi Fist was already beckoning towards him!
Searching for a supreme martial art of the Grand Clear lineage, he had found a supreme martial art of the Prime Clear lineage.
Who knew that upon returning home, there would actually be a supreme martial art of the Grand Clear lineage waiting for him!
This was a wonderful feeling indeed.
Still, amidst his joy, Yan Zhaoge did not lose his calm.
The scene before him was still somewhat different from the Taiyi that he was familiar with.
Taiyi, the head of the Grand Cosmos Five Manifestations, symbolised the most primordial form of the universe. There was no light or shape as it was silent and formless.
This existence that resembled a lotus flower whilst also a nebula above Yan Di's head did not seem to be purely Taiyi.
"Father, this concept is a little like Taiyi. Still, there seems to be some variation as well. Still, it is not Taiyi transforming into Grand Commencement. Instead, it seems to have stepped from the head of the Grand Cosmos Five Manifestations to Later Heaven in a single step."
Yan Zhaoge voiced out his doubts. Yan Di said, "You naturally have a unique understanding of the Taiji Yin Yang Palm as you cultivate in it. This is indeed the phenomenon of Taiyi. Still, there are indeed some later Heaven variations as well. I call it the Grand Simplicity Splendour Cloud or the Grand Simplicity Splendour Lotus."
"Oh?" Yan Zhaoge seemed to have noticed something unusual, "How did you obtain this Grand Simplicity Splendour Cloud?"
Yan Di's expression turned strange, which was rarely seen on him.
