Empress Jie Mingkong had no intention of attacking.
While she closed her eyes, her 'gaze' was currently moving between Yan Zhaoge, Yan Di and the Heaven Emperor.
His face, which had always been cold since he appeared, thawed slightly at this moment, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Qian Yuanzi, you are bullying the weak. Since you failed to take him down the first time, do you have the nerve to try again?" The Female Empress said indifferently.
The Heaven Emperor stood in the air. After a long time, the green qi on his face finally dissipated, his injuries temporarily suppressed.
If he did not attack, the Later Earth Text would naturally not retaliate.
"The item below involves my cultivation level. I have to obtain it." The Heaven Emperor said calmly, "Moreover, Broad Creed Mountain's Yan Zhaoge killed this humble Daoist's proudest disciple, Qing Shuzi. This humble Daoist must seek justice for this disciple no matter what."
The Female Emperor was shocked, "Even if I were not here, you would not be able to do anything to this Broad Creed Mountain."
The Heaven Emperor said, "If Fu Jinxiu does not come, and if you do not act, victory or defeat is still unknown."
"Not bad. You'll be the main attacker. Zhuang Shen and the other three will assist you." The Female Emperor closed her eyes, raising her brows slightly, "With Yan Zhaoge having to host the ritual to block you, the ritual is only effective against you. With Yan Di, Cao Dongnan and Liu Dongbei fighting three against four, it would be difficult for them to cope."
"Still, if you focus solely on defence, you will still be able to hold on for a very long time. The only thing you have to worry about is patiently setting up a formation to trap the Royal Reed Sea, slowly wearing down Broad Creed Mountain."
The Water Empress sneered, "You are someone who has pushed open the Gate of Immortality. Don't you find it embarrassing to use such a method to deal with a Martial Sage?"
Although the Big Heaven Emperor's injuries were even heavier than before, his emotions had already calmed down, "Whether it is through trickery or strength, since they have the ability to obstruct this humble Daoist, then this humble Daoist will treat them as opponents on the same level. Since that's the case, how is there a need to talk about losing face?"
"This ritual originates from the Dim Radiant Wheel and the Extreme Yang Seal as well as Yan Zhaoge himself. As the Dim Radiant Wheel has yet to become an Immortal Artifact, it will ultimately not be able to outlast you." The empress said faintly, "But don't be too complacent. Even though I don't know why Fu Yunchi's hands and feet are tied up, he will definitely come if he keeps delaying."
The Heaven Emperor sighed softly as he looked at the sigil formed of the Later Earth Text down below, "That's right. That is why victory and defeat in this Royal Reed Sea is ultimately hard to predict."
He gazed at Yan Zhaoge, bringing up the old topic again, "Truly an outstanding youngster. Before today, this humble Daoist really had not thought that this would be the result."
"Your Majesty, you're too courteous." Yan Zhaoge answered mildly, "Indeed. Currently, this situation would only be like this in the Royal Reed Sea. Without the Earth Queen's letter, I would probably not even be able to receive a single blow from you."
Yan Zhaoge raised his head and met the Heaven Emperor's gaze, "Still, even if you cannot take me down today, there will come a day when I do not need to push open the door to Immortality. Even having left this Royal Reed Sea, you will still be unable to do anything to me."
"Forgive me for being impetuous, but that day is not far away."
Yan Zhaoge's tone was casual as if he was having a casual conversation with the Heaven Emperor.
But the world was dead silent.
Everyone stared dazedly at Yan Zhaoge, only a single thought in their minds.
Savage! Arrogant!
Still, as long as they recalled the scene of Yan Zhaoge clashing with the Southern Exalt Zhuang Shen earlier, they all felt that what this youth had said was not impossible.
No, it was not impossible. Instead, it would definitely become a reality!
An early Immortal Bridge Martial Saint had even been able to gain the upper hand against a Human Exalt of the tenth level of the Martial Saint realm.
Even with a supreme treasure like the Extreme Yang Seal, it was still something that shocked the entire world.
With such strength, his potential was similarly shocking.
It was true that the higher one's cultivation base, the slower one's progress would be, the harder it would be to cultivate and the longer it would take.
Still, in comparison to Yan Zhaoge's current age and the speed at which his cultivation base had risen, no one would deny that this youth would definitely ascend to an even higher peak.
Also, it would be a very rapid rise!
The title of Fallen Deity was well deserved.
Thinking of this, no one felt that Yan Zhaoge was arrogant any longer.
As long as he did not venture out and cultivated in the Royal Reed Sea, there would definitely come a day where he would not fear Emperors even without opening the door to Immortality.
The Heaven Emperor's gaze flickered slightly as he gazed at Yan Zhaoge.
Beneath this Emperor's gaze, Yan Zhaoge spoke in a composed manner, "Three Sovereigns Five Emperors, Exalts of Ten Territories. Many people may vaguely know of your goal, but are not clear on the details."
"This matter concerns your cultivation. Obstructing one's path is akin to killing one's parents. Therefore, they did not interfere. The Brocade Emperor only gave the Southeastern Exalt a hand as he himself did not get too deeply involved."
"Now that I know what exactly is going on, however, I instead find it rather strange. Why are you not willing to resolve this matter openly and honestly, Heaven Emperor?"
"With Daoism's revival following the Great Calamity, it is precisely a time of unity. I believe that the other Emperors also hope that you can make up for your shortcomings and improve."
Yan Zhaoge looked at the Heaven Emperor, "Is there some other reason apart from that?"
The Heaven Emperor did not react in the least as he hovered in mid-air.
"Even now, I am still unclear on what taboo I violated in obtaining the Dim Radiant Wheel." Yan Zhaoge continued, "Still, with the other Sovereigns of the Three Sovereigns Five Emperors not openly supporting you in attacking Broad Creed Mountain this time, can I take it that your actions are actually somewhat taboo as well, Heaven Emperor?"
Hearing these words, the Heaven Emperor's gaze finally hardened.
The Female Emperor instead smiled, "He is indeed an outstanding young man."
"The Heaven Emperor's actions are not taboo. It is just that we are rather doubtful. Therefore, we decided to wait and see, neither obstructing nor supporting him as we see what exactly he intends to do."
"As for why I have come …" The Female Emperor's smile gradually retracted as she closed her eyes, 'scanning' the Heaven Emperor, Zhuang Shen and Lang Qing, "My attendant already said it at the start. While it is of my own will that I have come, it is more that I have been entrusted to do so."
As soon as these words left her mouth, the expressions of Zhuang Shen, Lang Qing and the others changed once more.
The Female Emperor was a lone wolf who never begged or helped others.
While it was said that she had been entrusted to do so, even the other Emperors in the World beyond Worlds might not be able to get her to act on her own.
Only the Three Sovereigns might be able to get her to act!
The Heaven Emperor too felt surprised and puzzled by the Female Emperor appearing to help Broad Creed Mountain.
Initially, he had not waited for the attendant of the Female Emperor's lineage to finish speaking before he had acted once more in order to prevent the name of one of the Three Sovereigns from appearing.
At that time, whether he acted or not, there would definitely be one side who would look bad.
If he pretended not to know and tried to reason things out afterwards, he would not lose face as there would be much room for negotiation.
It was just that the development of things afterwards completely surpassed his predictions.
"Heaven Emperor, rather than thinking about how to breach the Royal Reed Sea, you should first consider yourself," The Female Emperor's voice was clear and cold.
Everyone's hearts jolted as they simultaneously gazed towards the west.
There, someone was currently approaching.
That was in the direction of the southern Blazing Heaven Territory's Circumference Mountain.
Yan Zhaoge and the others seemed to realise something, "The severed waters of the Dynasty River regaining their flow was the handiwork of the newcomer …"
The Heaven Emperor did not care about the newcomer's cultivation base. Still, the martial concept that emanated from him caused his expression to change slightly as he seemed to have thought of something.
