(PS: Today's fourth update is to celebrate the first chapter of the new leader "Dreamy Night Whisper".)
Tai Yi, the head of the Grand Cosmos Five Tais. It symbolized the most primitive form of the universe. There was no light, no shape, and it was silent and formless.
Even the boundaries of time and space were blurred.
There was no prior and no after, no beginning and no end.
Looking at the Grand Simplicity Splendour Cloud above Yan Di's head, the Heaven Emperor's gaze hardened as many of his previous doubts were easily resolved.
What was left was more of a gloomy feeling.
Yan Zhaoge did not speak as he quietly listened to the conversation of the Female Emperor and the Heaven Emperor. Many of his earlier doubts had been answered, his guesses verified.
Why had the Grand Simplicity Splendour Cloud come to find his father on its own accord, and why did his father feel a sense of familiarity and closeness towards it?
Because this was the existence that accompanied him all those years ago!
The first time Yan Zhaoge had seen the Grand Simplicity Splendour Cloud, he had found its strange form different from what he knew of Grand Simplicity.
It was as if he had stepped from the beginning of the Innate Realm to the Acquired Realm.
Actually, the reason for this was that the Grand Simplicity Splendour Cloud had been born alongside Yan Di, resembling a prenatal coat as it had gone through the process of being born from birth to birth alongside him.
After his birth, due to some special reasons, Yan Di had always been resting within the Grand Simplicity Splendour Cloud.
The concept of time within the Grand Simplicity Splendour Cloud was blurry as the flow of time within Yan Di's life was virtually still.
Time passed quickly in the outside world and two thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.
It was only one day when the fruit had ripened and fallen that Yan Di could truly be considered to have arrived in this world.
Why did this happen?
Yan Zhaoge dared not be certain. He could only guess based on the information that he currently possessed. On one hand, his grandfather and grandmother, Yan Xintang and Di Qinglian, had met with mishaps. The pregnant Di Qinglian had temporarily entrusted the child to the Grand Simplicity Splendour Cloud for his safety.
On the other hand, his father Yan Di bore the legacy and hopes of his grandfather and grandmother!
In the past, Yan Zhaoge had not known that Yan Xintang of the Jade Clear direct lineage had actually married Di Qinglian of the Prime Clear direct lineage that year.
Otherwise, he would have thought of it long ago.
Why?
Because the more condensed and pure that true martial intent of his father's, the more Yan Zhaoge felt it to be familiar.
The Jade Clear lineage's Primordial Heavenly Scripture, Heaven Opening Scripture.
It divided the primordial world, split the heavens and the earth, stabilized the earth, water, fire, and wind, and created the fortune of the primordial world.
Prime Clear Numinous Treasure Four Swords, Immortal Exterminating Sword.
A single sword strike broke through all techniques. It was all-conquering and all-conquering, and it put an end to the principles of the heavens. It announced the arrival of the Last Days and the end of creation.
The former created the world, while the latter destroyed the world.
When the two became one, there was a beginning and an end. It was the process of creation, the momentum of the Great Dao.
The general trend is with me, and I'll be invincible in every endeavor. There's nothing I can't overcome, and I'll sweep through everything that obstructs me.
The power of the Heaven Opening Book and the Exterminating Immortal Sword was even more astonishing after they were combined.
Yan Zhaoge also had to give a big thumbs up to his grandparents whom he had never met in person.
They had come up with a brilliant idea, an idea somewhere between madness and genius.
And the most amazing thing was that they didn't just imagine, but they also turned their ideas into reality!
What had helped them achieve all of this was the treasure they had unintentionally obtained, the Grand Simplicity Splendour Cloud.
Just having the Grand Simplicity Splendour Cloud was not enough. They themselves could not complete this martial art, nor could they cultivate it.
Only the children born from their union had a single chance to succeed.
This was the crystallization of the combined efforts of the family of three, a supreme martial art that only Yan Di could cultivate in.
Perhaps it was also the final gift that Yan Xintang and Di Qinglian had bestowed upon their son.
It was precisely because this martial art had been born alongside Yan Di that Yan Di had remained dormant within the Grand Simplicity Splendour Cloud all this time. It was only after two thousand years had passed in the outside world that he had finally succeeded, bringing with him a unique martial art that he had been born with with him into this world.
As for whether his descent into the Eight Extremities World was a coincidence or not, it was still hard to guess now.
This martial art that Yan Di had been born with focused on the concept rather than the technique.
There was no difference between cultivating the sword or the sabre.
It was just that with this, the Heaven Emperor, Lang Qing, Zhuang Shen and the others had all been fooled!
Due to the Grand Simplicity Splendour Cloud, Yan Di's appearance had been affected as well such that even the Heaven Emperor who had seen the portrait of the Exalted Gold Luminary had not noticed anything wrong.
Still, descendants of the Sword Sovereign's lineage would not be mistaken.
Knowing the miraculous uses of the Grand Simplicity Splendour Cloud of the past, they would not have overlooked it due to their age.
Yan Di's name itself was sufficient to explain this.
Furthermore, his martial arts conception and his closeness with the Grand Simplicity Splendour Cloud were the clearest proof that no one could impersonate him.
"Now that I think about it, the Roving Jade Heavens did not have any malicious intent in providing me with the Immortal Trapping Sword. Instead, it was because of my grandmother," Yan Zhaoge stroked his lower chin, "… The feeling of having someone above is really not bad."
In the Eight Extremities World that year, while there had been enemies like the Sacred Sun Clan and the Heavenly Thunder Hall, as one of the six great Sacred Grounds of the Eight Extremities World, Broad Creed Mountain had also been rather domineering.
It was just that after coming to the World beyond Worlds, he would have to fight for everything from scratch.
As the vanguard, Yan Zhaoge himself had truly spent quite a bit of effort on this.
But for a mischievous person like him, what he liked to hear the most was that sentence.
"Yan Zhaoge, don't you just have a good father?"
Now that he could relive his old dreams, Yan Zhaoge was in an extremely good mood.
Conversely, the mouths of the Heaven Emperor, the Western Exalt Lang Qing, the Eastern Exalt Daoist Oneheaven and the others were filled with bitterness now.
Now, they understood why Jie Mingkong would make a move.
Perhaps it was more due to the Sword Sovereign's request. Still, it was indeed not polite of the Female Emperor to say that she would be willing to help.
The higher echelon experts of the World beyond Worlds all knew that the Female Emperor's Master was the Exalted Water Luminary of Kunlun Mountain's Nine Luminaries who had been ranked alongside the Exalted Gold Luminary Yan Xintang!
"My Master has a cold personality and rarely has close friends. Of the Kunlun Nine Luminaries, he was only on good terms with the Exalted Gold Luminary." Jie Mingkong said mildly, "For that, even if the Sword Sovereign did not instruct me, I would still come to obstruct you, Heaven Emperor."
The Heaven Emperor resembled a stone statue as he hovered in mid-air at this moment.
Many of Yan Zhaoge's guesses had been discussed with Yan Di that day.
At this moment, Yan Di was able to understand many of his earlier doubts.
His feelings were a little more complex.
Sucking in a deep breath and composing himself, Yan Di first thanked the Female Emperor before cupping his hands towards Bai Tao and the others.
Bai Tao hurriedly said that he did not deserve it. Yan Di said, "Like the Heaven Emperor and the other Exalts, this is also the first time this Yan has heard of this matter. I am unable to calm my emotions now. I hope that we will have a chance to meet the Sword Sovereign when he returns to the World beyond Worlds."
"It is only normal for you to have such a reaction upon hearing of this matter," Bai Tao nodded understandingly.
The black-clothed youth beside him suddenly said, "If Master were here, he would probably not want you to call him Emperor, senior apprentice-uncle Yan. Instead, he would prefer you to call him senior apprentice-brother."
Yan Di smiled, about to speak when Lang Qing said unwillingly, "Please reconsider, Sword Sovereign and Female Emperor. It is not just Yan Zhaoge who has obtained the Dim Radiant Wheel. Yan Di's wife, Yan Zhaoge's mother, is precisely the descendant of the Bright Connection Emperor Hu Yuexin, Xue Chuqing!"
"Their entanglements and critical relationships are beyond imagination!"
Before he could speak, that black-clothed youth raised a hand, a streak of light flying into the sky.
