Shi Jun sat in a lotus position with his eyes closed.
At this moment, a strange mark vaguely appeared on his forehead.
That was the seal hidden in the depths of his soul, which had been activated by Female Emperor Jie Mingkong.
Jie Mingkong was still within the ice layer, as if she was sleeping.
However, the luster on the surface of the ice sculpture was never extinguished.
On the other side, there was also a mark on Ying Yuzhen's forehead, which was different from the one on Shi Jun's forehead.
However, they both emitted a strange and gloomy devilish qi.
Yan Zhaoge and the others didn't make a sound. They observed those marks while waiting.
After a while, the luster on the surface of the ice sculpture gradually disappeared. The marks on Shi Jun and Ying Yuzhen's foreheads also temporarily disappeared.
"I'm ashamed. I also can't see through it." Female Emperor's voice resounded.
Yan Zhaoge's eyes lit up slightly, "Even a True Immortal can't see through it. A Great Devil with such methods must be extraordinary. In this way, the scope of suspicion has been reduced once again."
Female Emperor obviously had the same conclusion, "Before the Great Calamity, both Daoism and Buddhism often exterminated Devils. Many Great Devils of the Nine Underworlds were killed."
"After the Great Calamity, the Nine Underworlds were also affected and suffered heavy casualties."
Although Devils were reborn after dying, claiming to be undying and imperishable, nothing was absolute. It wasn't impossible to exterminate Devils.
"The number of active Great Devils in the Nine Underworlds is limited." Female Emperor said slowly, "However, some Devils might have left behind some tricks before they perished, seeking to be reborn after death."
Yan Zhaoge nodded slightly.
This was actually his previous guess, which had finally been verified now.
However, he didn't know where the tricks on Shi Jun and Ying Yuzhen came from.
Yan Di looked at Nie Jingshen, Bai Tao, and Wang Pu, "Jun 'er and his mother are the descendants of my senior apprentice-brother. That senior apprentice-brother has already passed away. I should take care of his descendants with all my heart."
"After senior apprentice-brother Yue returns from the void's outskirts, I might have to trouble him to take a look."
Bai Tao said, "Senior apprentice-uncle Yan is a righteous person. I believe master will understand."
Sword Sovereign Yue Zhenbei himself had spent thousands of years cultivating for the sake of his master's orphan.
"Moreover, from another point of view, this matter involves the Nine Nether, so Master will definitely not let his guard down." Bai Tao added, "Even without your relationship with senior apprentice-uncle Yan, Master would still ask about this matter. After all, the Great Devils of the Nine Underworlds involved could be extremely powerful."
At this time, Wang Pu said, "If it's possible, don't spread the news further. Wait until Master returns."
Yan Zhaoge, Yan Di and the others of Broad Creed Mountain slowly nodded.
"If it's possible, I hope that the little brothers and their mothers can follow us back to the North Peak of Kunlun Mountain." Bai Tao said, "No one knows when the mark of the Great Devil will change."
After returning to Kunlun Mountain, if there were any changes before the Sword Emperor returned, he could ask the Female Empress to help deal with it.
If even the empress couldn't handle it, they could simply ask the Concealed Emperor, who lived in seclusion in the Kunlun Mountains, to help them.
Yan Di said, "I'm afraid that it will cause too much trouble for Jade Capital Crag, and there will also be risks involved."
"It's fine." Wang Pu shook his head, "If there really is a calamity, the possibility of it being contained at Kunlun Mountain is still greater than over here in the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory. With the Female Empress or even the Concealed Emperor making a move, the damage caused would instead be less."
Yan Di pondered for a moment before cupping his hands, "Since that is so, I will be troubling you."
The trio hurriedly said that they dared not. The Female Empress who was sealed in ice did not speak, clearly tacitly agreeing to this.
Hearing this from the side, Shi Jun felt rather reluctant to part with his clan.
Still, thinking that this was for the good of him and his mother, he said nothing as he listened to the arrangements.
After discussing the matter of Shi Jun and Ying Yuzhen, their conversation came to a temporary halt.
Still, after this, Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di specially went to the guesthouse to visit the Southeastern Exalt Cao Jie in private.
As soon as they met, Cao Jie already knew why they had come.
"I have come this time for the matter of my mother. Please tell me about it, Southeastern Exalt," Yan Zhaoge said straightforwardly.
Cao Jie glanced at Yan Di, "Right, while you have yet to attain the Human Exalt stage, with the Grand Simplicity Splendour Cloud accompanying you, you should be fine. It is just that you …"
Looking at Yan Zhaoge, he could not help but sigh.
"I am deeply grateful for the Southeastern Exalt's concern," Yan Zhaoge smiled. "Still, perhaps it is because of the Dim Radiant Wheel or the final art of the Dim Radiant Twelve Arts, peerless infinity, that while I have made a trip to the Immortal Court and learnt of the name of the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, there is nothing special about it."
"It should not be possible to illuminate you just like that, giving birth to the treasured light of the power of faith."
Cao Jie was rather taken aback, "The experts of the Dim Radiant Sect who are proficient in the Dim Radiant Twelve Arts that year were unable to escape this fate even if they were beneath the Human Exalt stage. The Dim Radiant Wheel has yet to become an Immortal Artifact. Could it have such an effect?"
Yan Zhaoge said, "I cannot be certain. Still, are the Immortal Court and the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord really so miraculous?"
"Just knowing the name of the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord and leaving a shadow in his heart can illuminate us?"
"I have never heard of the Future Buddha possessing such tyrannical methods in over ten thousand years of existence."
From his earlier exchange with Cao Jie, Cao Jie already knew that he had some understanding of the current blessed lands of Buddhism. Therefore, he was not surprised to hear the name of the Future Buddha.
As Yan Zhaoge raised the doubts on his mind, Cao Jie said slowly, "If not for this, the World beyond Worlds would not have to restrict the circulation of news of the Immortal Court like it is guarding against snakes and scorpions."
"It is actually also because of the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord and the Immortal Court that even news of Buddhism has been restricted."
"The Immortal Court and the blessed lands have many conflicts. While they are sworn enemies, they are essentially birds of a feather. Therefore, they have restricted the circulation of news together."
Cao Jie raised his head slightly, saying, "As for why the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord is so miraculous, I do not know either."
Yan Di asked, "When I met Chuqing that year, let alone the Human Exalt stage, she was still far from even being a Martial Saint. Then, she …"
"Her situation is unique." Cao Jie said, "There is a supreme treasure of her lineage which can ensure that she will not be illuminated just because she knows the name of the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord."
Yan Zhaoge raised his brows lightly, "Oh, such a treasure is rare indeed."
"Half of the River Diagram!" Cao Jie nodded.
Yan Zhaoge rubbed his palms together, "No wonder then."
The River Diagram and the Luo Book were supreme treasures of legend, leaving behind countless legends.
It was just that they had long since vanished without a trace before the Great Calamity.
Never would he have thought that his mother would actually possess half a River Diagram.
Yan Zhaoge nodded silently, "My mother … or rather, the Dim Radiant Emperor and my mother's Grand Master, the Bright Connection Emperor, what exactly happened between them and the Immortal Court?"
"It is a long story," Cao Jie's expression was rather complex, "To put it simply, it is for one thing."
