There were many rumours regarding the Upper Exalt Chen Qianhua.
Having never personally seen him in action, Yan Zhaoge was unable to accurately judge his strength.
Still, in the battle between the Brocade Emperor and Mars Halberd that year, Yan Zhaoge had personally witnessed the tip of the iceberg of the Earth Exalt Wang Zhengcheng's strength.
Yan Zhaoge had also seen the Little Sword God who had assumed the name of Qian Xueji and was active in the World beyond Worlds while his real name was Long Xueji.
Through comparison with these two, Yan Zhaoge was able to estimate the general level of Chen Qianhua who was equally renowned as Long Xueji and surpassed Wang Zhengcheng.
Putting aside Little Sword God Long Xueji for now.
The Earth Exalt Wang Zhengcheng was a person of legend who could virtually suppress the conflict between Martial Saints of the World beyond Worlds all on his own.
Even if the target was another Supreme-Being!
The reason why he said 'almost' was mainly because he wanted to exclude the Upper Exalt Chen Qianhua who was superior to him.
Perhaps it could be said that the Upper Exalt Chen Qianhua was an existence who could suppress the World beyond Worlds even if the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors did not appear.
He might be one of the few experts in history who could fight against some True Immortal Emperors with his human body.
Of course, resisting and being suppressed were two different things.
Being able to fight against a True Immortal and being able to escape from a True Immortal were two different standards.
Without having personally interacted with the Upper Exalt who stood at the peak of the World beyond Worlds' Martial Saint realm, Yan Zhaoge was unable to judge how far he could go.
But among the many uncertainties, this was undoubtedly the one that attracted the most attention.
Especially Earthly Young Master Chen Kunhua, who came uninvited, it was even more difficult to fathom his intentions.
Was he bluffing, or was he a step ahead of his brother?
Chen Kunhua was probably the only one who knew.
However, one would not slap a smiling person. With the other party being polite and not displaying any enmity, Broad Creed Mountain naturally wouldn't reject them at their gates, letting others see them as a joke for no reason.
Yan Zhaoge also didn't hesitate as he invited Chen Kunhua to stay in a guest house on the mountain, with other Broad Creed Mountain disciples taking care of things.
As the date of the grand ceremony drew nearer, the Broad Creed Mountain martial practitioners who had gone out in search of good talents also began gradually returning to the Mountain.
Most of them headed to places outside of the Royal Reed Sea.
This kind of action was actually a bit of a taboo, and it could easily cause the local powerful forces to unite and resist.
Still, Yan Zhaoge had rampaged through the south in the past, slaying Zhang Shuren, Peng He, Qing Shuzi and the other peak Martial Saint experts, forming an immense deterrent effect.
As the ruler of the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory, Golden Court Mountain did not raise any objections.
Due to the special circumstances of this time's opening ceremony, it would be very difficult for it to happen again in the future. The local bullies of the Setting Sun Archipelago, the Jade Sun Mountain Range, the Green Peak High Plains, the Consecutive Drum Mountain Range and the other regions of the southeast that Broad Creed Mountain had trampled on this time could only pinch their noses and accept it.
In the southern Blazing Heaven Territory, Circumference Mountain and the other places where the Dynasty River flowed were more convenient.
Here, Yan Zhaoge and Broad Creed Mountain's prestige was even greater.
While Yan Zhaoge had not set foot in the southern Blazing Heaven Territory since the battle at Circumference Mountain that year, his legends still existed there even now.
In places like Circumference Mountain, Yan Zhaoge and Broad Creed Mountain were akin to uncrowned kings.
It had been like this all these years.
Only when the Southern Exalt Zhuang Shen had returned to the southern Blazing Heaven Territory this year had this situation eased somewhat.
Still, because the Southern Exalt had not immediately acted up, Yan Zhaoge still maintained a certain level of authority over the region of the Dynasty River.
Broad Creed Mountain's martial practitioners had brought back many good seedlings from there as a result.
"Young Master, there are indeed some good seedlings this time."
Currently, Broad Creed Mountain still appeared rather lacking in manpower in the World beyond Worlds.
Therefore, Ah Hu had previously been dispatched outside as well, having just returned not long ago.
Xiao Ai was also in a similar situation. Still, after having returned, Xiao Ai first focused on something else.
"Young Master, Young Master, this maid saw that Earthly Young Master just now. While he is inferior to Young Master, he is still an extraordinarily handsome man."
Xiao Ai clenched her fists, her eyes shining as she said excitedly to Yan Zhaoge, "If he is still unmarried, he can get an evaluation below A!"
Yan Zhaoge rolled his eyes, "Xiao Ai ah, you make me worry very easily like this. An enemy could easily take you down with just a beauty trap."
"How could that be?" Xiao Ai waved her hands, "Only Young Master and Young Master are above A. However outstanding the others are, they can only get an A at most."
Hearing her words, Yan Zhaoge did not know whether to laugh or to cry.
"Should I feel gratified now that you say this?" Yan Zhaoge put a hand on his head.
While the girl before him remained infatuated, she had finally agreed not long ago to make a special exception for Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di in her evaluation.
Only their evaluation did not depend on whether they were unmarried or not.
Xiao Ai sat there, her cheeks resting on her hands, "I heard that his elder brother, the Upper Exalt, is even more extraordinarily handsome. I wonder how he compares to the Brocade Emperor?"
Yan Zhaoge rolled his eyes.
The Brocade Emperor Fu Yunchi could be said to be the man with the most outstanding appearance.
Still, as Xiao Ai had said, while the lofty Brocade Emperor caused her to drool over him, he was only given an A rating.
Of course, because this A grade was too outstanding and incomparable, this girl made an exception for the second time, specifically adding an above A grade for the Brocade Emperor alone. Yan Zhaoge and the others nearly spat out mouthfuls of rice.
"Today is the day of the opening ceremony. Young Master …" Ah Hu looked at Yan Zhaoge, "How do I put it … it is abnormally calm."
Yan Zhaoge said, "It is the calm before the storm. Since the Heaven Emperor has already returned, if something happens, it will be today. Since it is not early, it will definitely not be late."
Amidst their conversation, other disciples of Broad Creed Mountain came to report that the most important guest thus far had arrived.
The lord of the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory, the Southeastern Exalt Cao Jie, had finally arrived.
Yan Zhaoge went to receive him. There was no need for words as they had already come to a tacit understanding.
"I have something to ask the Southeastern Exalt about."
While something major was bound to happen today, Yan Zhaoge was calm and composed as he sent a sound transmission to Cao Jie, "This might be a little presumptuous. It concerns my mother."
Cao Jie knit his brows, looking at Yan Zhaoge.
"To tell you the truth, I have already learnt of some things after making a trip to the territories of the Immortal Court. I guess that my mother's matter is related to the Immortal Court," Yan Zhaoge said, "Am I right?"
Cao Jie's brows eased slightly before he knit them again very quickly. He was silent for a moment before he did not immediately answer, instead saying, "Do not leak this matter."
Yan Zhaoge generally understood what Cao Jie was thinking. He did not mention that his situation was different from Fu Ting's as he nodded, answering, "Rest easy, I understand."
At this point, a sword-light suddenly flew over from the west, descending towards Broad Creed Mountain.
Broad Creed Mountain was familiar with the newcomer. It was precisely the Southeastern Swordsmistress.
Not obstructing her, the Swordsmistress rapidly landed on Broad Creed Mountain, coming before Yan Zhaoge and Cao Jie.
Looking at Yan Zhaoge, she did not communicate with Cao Jie via sound transmission as she instead said directly, "Something has happened!"
"The volume of the Dynasty River is decreasing rapidly. If this continues, it will definitely be cut off by today!"
