"Who knows how many people are probably just waiting to watch this opening ceremony …" Yan Zhaoge pondered as he went through his preparations once more.
This battle could be considered one of the few times that Yan Zhaoge did not have sufficient confidence in winning.
Until the final moment, no one knew how many enemies there would be, who they would be and how many helpers they would have.
The situation was very unclear with many factors influencing it, and he had too little information on hand.
For example, he had met the Northeastern Exalt once due to his mother, and they seemed to have left a good impression on each other.
Still, it was completely unknown whether this bigwig would help him.
There was not much of a deep relationship between them, and there was no conflict between the Northeastern Exalt and the Southern Exalt.
Why would he help him?
Moreover, there was also the pressure of the Heaven Emperor.
Why would the Northeastern Exalt offend the Heaven Emperor for no good reason at all?
On the contrary, if the relationship between him and his mother Xue Chuqing was known by others, the Eastern Exalt, Western Exalt and Northwestern Exalt might come looking for trouble.
While this might not be definite, Yan Zhaoge had to consider it.
This was something that he could already foresee after having a rough understanding of the situation and making preparations for the worst.
Because he had too little information on hand, he might not even be aware of some things as unexpected accidents might occur at any time.
For example, what were the views of the World beyond Worlds' Three Sovereigns regarding his mother, the Dim Radiant Wheel that he possessed and the Dim Radiant Emperor that year?
What were the attitudes of the other three Emperors apart from the Brocade Emperor and the Heaven Emperor?
What were the attitudes of the other Exalts of Ten Territories?
If he could not understand himself and the enemy, many of his current deductions might be completely wrong.
Still, Yan Zhaoge was not panicked or fearful as he just unceasingly sorted out his thoughts.
Doing his best, not leaving any openings or flaws behind was definitely the foundation of everything.
With this as a prerequisite, he would make more contingency plans and plans.
If there really were any changes that were completely unexpected, he would have to act according to the situation.
Of course, if the Brocade Emperor acted as he had agreed, things would be much simpler.
"Most important is still myself," Yan Zhaoge raised his head and looked at that Dim Radiant Wheel.
Yan Zhaoge had invested quite a bit in this big fella.
It was truly a super money-eating machine.
Not counting the Dim Radiant Lamp used by the Dim Radiant Emperor Yin Tianxia as a foundation, Yan Zhaoge had already expended a pile of high-grade Sacred Artifacts in order to refine it.
After the Golden Sun Wheel and the Five Phoenix Fan, the Dragontail Whip, the Blazing Flame Sabre, the Heaven Reversing Axe, the Dark Horned Dragon Whip and the other two high-grade Sacred Artifacts from the southern Blazing Heaven Territory, the True Slaying Sword and the Light Dust Formless Armour, were all smelted by the Dim Radiant Wheel.
The concepts contained within these Sacred Artifacts were all extraordinary, but most of them were not needed by the Dim Radiant Wheel.
Yan Zhaoge was using them as a medium to transmit the various peak martial arts that he was proficient in.
In addition, there was also the Golden Crow Heaven Incinerating Blade and the Purple Sea Sword that had been swallowed at the beginning.
Of the ten high-grade Sacred Artifacts that Yan Zhaoge had brought back from the southern Blazing Heaven Territory, only the Bright Barbaric Daoist Robe and the Phoenix Cry Crown were now left as well as the original Golden Sun Wheel and the Heaven Earth Reversing Axe.
However, there was always a reward for his efforts.
What ten high-grade Sacred Weapons could not do, this big fellow before him could.
Although the refinement was not complete, it was a very important part of his plan, provided that his deductions were not wrong.
Yan Zhaoge stroked his lower chin, suddenly smiling, "A big stage. I like it."
"Whether it is a blessing or a curse, let it come quickly. I can't wait any longer."
In the days that followed, Yan Zhaoge tempered his body while continuing to perfect his various preparations.
During this period of time, unbeknownst to the outside world, Broad Creed Mountain actually had a third Immortal Bridge Martial Saint.
Yan Zhaoge's Northern Ocean Clone had finally succeeded in establishing the orbit of the movement of stars within his internal universe as well, causing his acupoints that had already seen Divinity to circulate as he ascended to the Immortal Bridge stage.
This time, it was the Northern Ocean Clone who had benefited from his main body's experience in ascending to the Immortal Bridge stage that had finally succeeded in surpassing that bottleneck.
At the same cultivation level, Yan Zhaoge's Northern Ocean Clone was inferior to his main body.
Still, Yan Zhaoge had an idea regarding this clone which seemed rather feasible from the looks of it now.
Following the powers of the Kunpeng, the true dragon, the Taotie, the Pixiu and the Bifang, Yan Zhaoge had merged the power of the Golden Crow within as well.
The simultaneous strengthening of various powers and treasures as well as the usage of unique techniques had allowed the Northern Ocean Clone to improve at a tremendous rate.
He was also verifying that his original idea was getting closer and closer to success.
As time passed, the date of Broad Creed Mountain's official opening drew nearer and nearer.
Just then, a message arrived.
Following the Brocade Emperor, the Heaven Emperor had finally returned to the World beyond Worlds as well.
… …
"The Heaven Emperor has returned to the World beyond Worlds?"
Beneath the blue skies, the Roving Jade Heavens.
Green Duckweed Mountain, Scenery Peak, Flowing Heaven Cliff.
Within a cave manor, a handsome youth rested sideways on a bed. While he looked relaxed and languid, he possessed a certain air of his own.
This person in this cave manor was naturally the owner of this place, the Dragon Spring Emperor of the Jade Clear lineage who had entered the Prime Clear lineage, Long Xingquan.
In front of him stood a white-haired old man.
This was the Dragon Spring Emperor's eldest son, the Lord of Green Duckweed Mountain's Minor White Peak, Gao Xuebo.
He nodded, saying, "Yes, father. The Heaven Emperor has already returned to the World beyond Worlds."
"He should be the greatest threat to Broad Creed Mountain," The Dragon Spring Emperor smiled, "I wonder if anyone else will make a move."
Gao Xuebo asked, "Are you returning to the World beyond Worlds?"
The Dragon Spring Emperor shook his head, "That would instead invite calamity upon Broad Creed Mountain. We should leave it to Zhenbei to handle."
Gao Xuebo frowned, "If it is that person, his attitude in recent years …"
"I believe that he will not disappoint us," The Dragon Spring Emperor said mildly, "Something major is about to happen in the World beyond Worlds this time."
… …
World beyond Worlds, central Jun Heaven Territory.
Kunlun Mountain's Southern High Peak, Qilin Cliff.
Within the cave manor, an old man looked at the numerous images of light before him, remaining silent for a long time.
After a while, he muttered, "It is actually not a coincidence. Such a martial dao should not be wrong. Still, how was it achieved?"
"Also, the ages do not match …"
Now, someone entered, "Master, the Southern Exalt is waiting outside."
The old man turned, revealing an ancient face that was heavy like the great earth.
This was none other than the Lord of the central Jun Heaven Territory, the Earth Exalt Wang Zhengcheng!
He pondered slightly before retrieving a jade box, "Hand this to Southern Zhuang."
The disciple received the order, received the jade box, and bowed before withdrawing.
The door soundlessly closed behind him. Wang Zhengcheng gazed at the changing images of light before him, remaining silent.
Outside the cave manor, the Southern Exalt Zhuang Shen who looked like a white-haired youth sat on a stone bench beneath a pine tree, calmly looking at the chess board before him as he did not move or speak.
Seeing someone come out, Zhuang Shen gazed over, who delivered the jade box to him.
Zhuang Shen received the jade box and opened it, a brilliant light erupting from his eyes.
"Thank you, Elder Wang," Zhuang Shen closed the jade box, standing up and cupping his hands towards the cave manor.
Then, he turned and transformed into a fiery phoenix, soaring into the air and instantly leaving.
