When Yan Zhaoge had first arrived in the Royal Reed Sea, his cultivation base had still been low as he had been weak.
Their main enemy, the Radiant Light Sect, had the possibility of being a threat to Broad Creed Mountain of the Eight Extremities World. It was like a butcher's knife hanging over the Eight Extremities World which could descend at any moment.
At that time, Yan Zhaoge had been moving between the major powers of the Royal Reed Sea, expanding the space in which he could operate.
During this process, they had disrupted the Grand Xuan Dynasty's plans to set up the Heaven Bearing Efficate Formation, simultaneously killing and injuring many of their people, causing their enmity to grow deeper and deeper, to the point where they were irreconcilable enemies.
At that time, Yan Zhaoge had not been concerned about why the Heaven Emperor had secretly ordered Shen Lingzi and the others to come to the Royal Reed Sea to set up the Heaven Bearing Efficate Formation, also not being concerned about why that Emperor had been so fixated on searching for the legendary Earth Queen of the Four Imperials of Daoism.
That was a problem that the Southeastern Exalt Cao Jie should be considering.
Yan Zhaoge only had to consider how to raise his strength in order to deal with the threat posed by the Grand Xuan Dynasty.
Now, however, when he had to face the Heaven Emperor directly, the Heaven Bearing Efficate Formation which he had not paid much attention to previously became the focus of Yan Zhaoge's gaze once more.
Why did the Big Dry Emperor secretly order people to set up the Heaven Bearing Efficate Array?
Why did the location of the formation seem to be fixed on the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory's Royal Reed Sea?
Why is this Dao Sect Great Emperor so bothered and unable to let it go after being obstructed?
Apart from the Heaven Emperor himself, the reactions of the others were also a little strange.
While the Southeastern Exalt Cao Jie was a sword cultivator, he was very mild most of the time, having the attitude of making things convenient for others and himself.
However, as a Ruler of the First Realm and a sword cultivator, if he was provoked, he would rather break than bend.
Even in the face of a Perfected Immortal Emperor who had pushed open the Gate of Immortality, he would not yield.
Still, after having first learnt of the existence of the Heaven Bearing Efficate Formation, Cao Jie had still tacitly allowed Kang Ping and the others of the Grand Xuan Dynasty to remain in the Royal Reed Sea and continue setting up the formation.
It was just that the existence of Yan Zhaoge and Broad Creed Mountain had prevented the Grand Xuan Dynasty from achieving anything.
Yan Zhaoge was on friendly terms with Golden Court Mountain, and Golden Court Mountain was more or less biased towards him and Broad Creed Mountain in secret.
It just so happened that a great battle was about to erupt between the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory and the southern Blazing Heaven Territory, with Phoenix Ritual Mountain's Wutong Slope also wanting to get rid of Yan Zhaoge.
In the end, when the war between the southeast and the south had erupted, the Heaven Emperor had kept the Southeastern Exalt Cao Jie busy, making use of the Southern Exalt Zhuang Shen to take care of the martial practitioners of the southeast as well as Yan Zhaoge and Broad Creed Mountain.
This instead infuriated the Southeastern Exalt Cao Jie who contacted the Brocade Emperor to assist him, finally forcing the Heaven Emperor and the Southern Exalt Zhuang Shen into retreat.
The other peak experts of the World beyond Worlds did not support or interfere with this.
Logically speaking, searching for the Earth Goddess who had been missing since the Great Calamity was a huge matter for the entire Daoism.
Yan Zhaoge believed that the peak experts of Daoism would all attempt to search for it if they had a way.
As for the other peak experts of the World beyond Worlds, the Heaven Emperor's actions were viewed more as a personal matter of the Heaven Emperor.
Therefore, it was only the Brocade Emperor who intervened in this matter out of his personal friendship with the Southeastern Exalt.
Since it was a private matter, what kind of reason could it be?
Yan Zhaoge, who was about to face the might of that Immortal Emperor, was very interested in this.
"I will personally take responsibility for this matter," Yan Di's interest was piqued as he kept the jade coin.
Yan Zhaoge stood up, "Father, I'll be heading over to the Vast Ocean World then."
Yan Di nodded, "Yes, rest easy."
"To be honest, I cannot rest easy. Still, it is not that I cannot rest easy here." Yan Zhaoge smiled bitterly, "Miss Guan Yuluo from the north has sent news that the 'door' that Yunsheng entered will only have a chance to reopen after a few years at least."
Feng Yunsheng's departure had cut off her path of retreat to a certain extent.
Therefore, Yan Zhaoge was unable to ascertain whether she was safe or not.
While he knew that this was actually a very normal thing for a martial practitioner with a firm will who harbored great ambitions.
Feng Yunsheng herself possessed outstanding talent, also possessing the Extreme Yin Crown and the Cold Sun Divine Sabre.
Still, it would be impossible for Yan Zhaoge to not be worried at all, no matter how much confidence he had in Feng Yunsheng.
"As the Chief of a lineage, I feel very comforted to have such a descendant amongst my disciples," Yan Di said, "Still, I can understand your thoughts."
Yan Zhaoge sighed towards the heavens, "Father, the wives of the men of our Yan Family are really worrisome!"
Yan Di said exasperatedly, "How can you say that?"
"Let alone finding your wife to the point where my hair is almost turning white, my wife has gone missing again," Yan Zhaoge shrunk his neck, but still muttered softly.
Yan Di was angered by his lazy look as he pointed at him, unable to speak. Just as he was about to strike him, Yan Zhaoge had already fled the secluded room.
Looking at his son's fleeing figure, Yan Di did not know whether to laugh or to cry.
After a while, Yan Zhaoge popped his head out from the door, "Right, father, how is that junior apprentice-brother Xia?"
Five years ago, Xia Guang who had returned to the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory with Yan Zhaoge had managed to enter Broad Creed Mountain as he had wished.
To him, none of the various tests had been difficult.
While he had started out as a white-clothed disciple due to the sect's rules, he had very quickly donned a blue robe before even having a black border on the robe, becoming a direct disciple of Broad Creed Mountain.
Meanwhile, the Master he had finally acknowledged was none other than the Chief, Yan Di.
"Shocking talent, exceptional comprehension ability, diligent and hardworking," Yan Di evaluated.
As for Xia Guang's fiery temperament that was easily broken, he did not care much about it.
To a certain extent, Yan Di was someone with a similar temperament as well, just that he did not display it as openly as Xia Guang.
Yan Zhaoge asked, "Has he still not found his kin?"
Yan Di shook his head, "No."
When the Consecutive Drum Mountain Range's Listening Thunder Peak's Xia Family had been exterminated that year, apart from Xia Guang, only two of their descendants who had been tempering outside had survived.
After Xia Guang had returned to the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory with Yan Zhaoge that year and entered Broad Creed Mountain, he had immediately returned to the Consecutive Drum Mountain Range to look for his kin.
Still, he had received news that his elder brother and sister had not returned.
Over the past five years, Broad Creed Mountain had sought Golden Court Mountain's help in searching within the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory. Still, they had not been able to find them.
Xia Guang had originally been terrified as he had thought that the two of them had fallen into the hands of Three Foot Mountain.
Still, after asking around, he had gradually confirmed that Three Foot Mountain had no news of their whereabouts.
Xia Guang could only temporarily suppress his anxiety as he thought that his elder brother and sister might have learned of their family's situation from the outside as well. Fearing that Three Foot Mountain would eliminate them by the roots, they had temporarily gone into hiding and concealed their identities.
Therefore, after settling down in Broad Creed Mountain, he would venture outside from time to time.
The fame of the 'Blood Thunderbolt' Xia Guang was already no longer limited to the Royal Reed Sea as he had become a rather famous martial practitioner of Broad Creed Mountain after Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di had entered secluded cultivation in recent years.
Xia Guang had no intention of making a name for himself. Instead, he hoped that his kin would receive news of this and come to the Royal Reed Sea to look for him.
"Junior apprentice-brother Xia has really gone through a lot of trouble. I hope that his elder brother and sister are blessed by the heavens and can reunite with him soon," Yan Zhaoge sighed. Yan Di nodded slowly.
This new disciple of his could be said to be in the same boat as them.
Yan Di's gaze drifted for an instant before turning resolute once more, "The Human Exalt stage …"
