Within the Dim Radiant Mausoleum, the words' disperse 'seemed to have traversed thousands of years. While there was some disappointment, there was no regret.
In the lands of the Immortal Court, the silhouette had defeated the combined forces of two Emperors of the Immortal Court with a single move.
"We are all cultivators. Severing the dao to see our true selves."
Thinking of that imposing black-clothed, white-robed, black-haired, white-browed figure, Yan Zhaoge fell into deep thought for a time.
Even though he had not personally come into contact with him, even though everything had already become dust in the annals of history, he could still feel how arrogant he had been.
People had many facets. Coming to a conclusion about a person based on a certain event at a certain time would inevitably be biased.
Yan Zhaoge was currently unable to assess what kind of figure the Dim Radiant Emperor Yin Tianxia was.
Still, he had obtained the Dim Radiant Wheel and his mother Xue Chuqing was involved as he was naturally unable to stay out of this matter.
"The Dim Radiant Emperor's death is already an indisputable fact," Yan Zhaoge lightly rubbed his temples, "Then, what about my mother's Grand Master, the Bright Connection Emperor?"
Cao Jie said, "As compared to the Dim Radiant Emperor, there is even less news about the Bright Connection Emperor. I am not sure if she is dead or still alive, but I can be sure that she has long since left the World beyond Worlds."
This was in line with what the Northeastern Exalt Liu Zhenggu had said that year.
Yan Zhaoge nodded silently before suddenly asking, "Then, what about the Bright Connection Emperor's disciple, my mother's Master?"
Cao Jie answered, "I heard that she is already dead. Still, I do not know the specifics."
"That year, she was also captured and may have perished in the process of fleeing. Still, the whereabouts of the Heavenly Essence Stone fragment are still unknown. Thus, it was your mother's turn to follow in her footsteps."
Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di exchanged glances, no longer speaking.
It was uncertain whether the Dim Radiant Emperor had obtained the Heavenly Essence Stone fragment for justice or for personal gain that year.
Similarly, it was hard to say whether those who were hunting Xue Chuqing were interested in the Heavenly Essence Stone fragment.
A treasure that the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord and the Immortal Court valued so much and had been entangled with for a thousand years would definitely be valuable, whatever its actual use.
After thanking the Southeastern Exalt Cao Jie, Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di returned to their lodgings.
On the way, Yan Di said slowly, "If you are right and junior apprentice-nephew Sikong is indeed related to Chuqing, it might be related to the Heavenly Essence Stone fragment!"
"But there is one suspicious point." Yan Zhaoge pondered as he said, "There are so many people who look like junior apprentice-sister Sikong. There were at least four in our Eight Extremities World back then."
"With how large the World beyond Worlds is, there will only be more. In terms of population, saying that there are a thousand or eight hundred of them is probably a low estimate."
Just imagining it, Yan Zhaoge drew back the corners of his mouth.
There were many similar people in the world. Even though they were not related by blood, there were still examples of people who looked like twins.
However, if there were hundreds or thousands of people who looked the same, it would be a spectacular sight.
It wasn't just similar, but their facial features were exactly the same.
Although there were men and women.
Moreover, his appearance was outstanding, and he did not have a common face.
If he practiced martial arts, he would be able to cultivate Internal Invulnerability and become a Grandmaster. His talent in martial arts would be even more astonishing.
While they were incomparable to supreme geniuses like Yan Zhaoge, Yan Di, Nie Jingshen, Chen Qianhua and Long Xueji, even amongst the lineage of Kunlun Mountain's Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, they would still be praised for their extraordinary talents.
There were hundreds and thousands of such people …
Of course, there was the possibility of them dying prematurely or living an ordinary life without cultivating in martial arts.
The timeflow of the World beyond Worlds was faster than that of the Eight Extremities World. With Sikong Qing's age, if she did not cultivate in martial arts in the World beyond Worlds, as a commoner, she would already be nearing the end of her lifespan as she aged.
However, the World beyond Worlds which was dedicated to the revival of Daoism had always placed great importance on unearthing talents. Those who were truly talented would not be buried.
For example, Sikong Qing's talent and potential had naturally been extraordinary before she had become a Martial Scholar. The possibility of her being overlooked was very low.
Therefore, with so many 'Sikong Qings' existing in the World beyond Worlds, Yan Zhaoge found it very hard to imagine that the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors would have overlooked such an abnormal situation.
"If we say that they are all scattered throughout the various lower worlds, I have already seen at least two of them here in the World beyond Worlds," Yan Zhaoge tapped his temple.
Southeastern Yang Heaven Territory, Royal Reed Sea, North Sea Sword Pavilion, Yue Baoqi.
Eastern Vast Heaven Territory, Remote Cloud Mountain's Clear Light Locale, Li Cheng of the Eastern Exalt's lineage.
Of course, this number was far lower than Yan Zhaoge had expected.
At the same time, it would not attract the attention of those who were unaware.
"Before the situation is clear, junior apprentice-sister Sikong should probably continue keeping a low profile." Yan Zhaoge sighed, "With senior apprentice-uncle Yue protecting us from above, the pressure on us has lessened greatly. Still, we have drawn more attention."
"The Eastern Exalt has just returned in defeat here. He will definitely be paying close attention to this. It is fine for others to see junior apprentice-sister Sikong, but if he sees her and knows that she is a disciple of our Broad Creed Mountain, it is hard to say that he will not associate her with something."
Yan Di frowned, "Yet, she has been wronged."
Yan Zhaoge said, "It is still better than being targeted and abducted. Knowing who the other party is, it is fine if they come to ask for her. What is most frightening is that they do not know who it is, not being able to find her even if they wanted to."
Li Cheng of Remote Cloud Mountain's Clear Light Locale had been abducted by him, Yan Zhaoge. The Eastern Exalt had not even known who had done it as he had thought that Li Cheng had perished in Xue Chuqing's old residence like his other disciples.
Yan Zhaoge would not be able to laugh if he had been abducted by his enemies.
He stroked his lower chin, "Perhaps we can set up a trap for them? It is just that junior apprentice-sister Sikong would be wronged that way. "
Yan Di said, "Forget about setting up a trap. Since that is so, junior apprentice-niece Sikong should remain on the Mountain."
"She is wholeheartedly devoted to the martial dao and is proficient in it as well. I have actually always wanted her to take over the Martial Inheritance Hall in the future."
"If she becomes the First Seat Elder of the Martial Inheritance Hall now, it would be no different from exposing herself to everyone's gazes. Still, it is fine for her to manage the internal affairs of the Martial Inheritance Hall."
Yan Di made his decision, "Junior apprentice-sister Fu can just give her the title of First Seat Elder of the Martial Inheritance Hall."
He swivelled his head to look at Yan Zhaoge, "Instead, how are your preparations going? You will be leaving very soon. "
Yan Zhaoge smiled, "My personal preparations are more or less complete. Still, whether I can succeed or not will still depend on how things turn out after I have gone to Kunlun Mountain."
Everyone was guessing what Yan Zhaoge and Broad Creed Mountain would do next.
Still, he and the sect would not actually be acting together after this.
Yan Di would be presiding over the sect's development plans as they would officially head for the southern Blazing Heaven Territory.
With Yan Zhaoge's foundation in the Dynasty River region at Circumference Mountain and the eastern region of the southern Blazing Heaven Territory, it would be much easier.
Meanwhile, Yan Zhaoge himself would be heading to the central Jun Heaven Territory's Kunlun Mountain along with Nie Jingshen and Wang Pu!
On one hand, it was to secretly search for his mother, Xue Chuqing. On the other hand, Yan Zhaoge had some ideas that he intended to try out.
"Instead, the latest news from Ingenious Flying Peak is that the Brocade Emperor who stood us up seems to have yet to return," Yan Zhaoge smiled bitterly, "I really wonder what exactly he is busy with?"
