Since Yan Zhaoge's plan could be carried out, in the eyes of bystanders, Jade Capital Crag would definitely be in the know and tacitly agreeing to it. Therefore, it was not important whether or not they had really sent someone over.
Even if he was unfamiliar with the place and the people, Yan Zhaoge himself would definitely be able to lay down a solid foundation.
Not mentioning the Sword Sovereign's background, his own strength alone was enough for him to dominate any place in the central Jun Heaven Territory outside of Kunlun Mountain.
The reason why they had asked Jade Capital Crag to send someone was more to show their attitude.
He was willing to share the profits with Jade Capital Crag.
"If it is inconvenient for senior apprentice-brother Jade Capital Crag to make an appearance, I wonder if senior apprentice-brother Wang has any sects in the central Jun Heaven Territory that he can trust and is rather close to?" Yan Zhaoge added, "It is also possible to invite them to participate in this."
Wang Pu shook his head. "There's no need for that. What's so inconvenient about it?"
Yan Zhaoge smiled, "It would naturally be good to have a senior apprentice-brother of Jade Capital Crag watching over us. Still, in order to get things off the ground quickly, expand our momentum and spread the news, we still need the participation of local powers."
"That's simple." Wang Pu said, "Follow me."
The two of them left the Dragon Butterfly Valley and returned to the Northern High Peak's Jade Capital Crag.
Wang Pu brought Yan Zhaoge to a secluded room. After knocking on the door, a young man who looked to be in his thirties came out to welcome them.
"Senior apprentice-brother Wang, junior apprentice-brother Yan, what brings you here?" The young man smiled and greeted them.
His name was Qiu Jiahai, also known as the 'Hidden Sea Sword' as he was of the seventh level of the Martial Saint realm, the early Immortal Bridge stage.
While he was naturally older than Yan Zhaoge, in terms of his cultivation base, he was still ridiculously young.
He was quite kind to others, sly, and flexible. It was almost impossible to tell that he was a Great Sword Cultivator with an aggressive spirit.
Among the disciples of Jade Capital Crag, he had the best relationships with the martial practitioners of the outside world, and he had the most connections.
Although it appeared to be easy-going most of the time, it was firm and unwavering when it came to key principles. That was why it was called the Hidden Sea Sword.
It meant that he was as tolerant as the sea, but there was a sword hidden at the bottom of the sea, its edge still there.
When Yan Zhaoge had first arrived at Jade Capital Crag, Wang Pu and Nie Jingshen had introduced him to the people here. Thus, he naturally recognised Qiu Jiahai.
Looking at this candidate, he could tell that Wang Pu was indeed doing his best for him and Broad Creed Mountain.
Other than Wang Pu himself, Qiu Jiahai was the most suitable candidate for Jade Capital Crag's following plan.
"There are some things that I'll have to trouble senior apprentice-brother Qiu to help me with," Yan Zhaoge laughed as he cupped his hands.
Qiu Jiahai smiled and said, "What trouble? Just say it."
Hearing Yan Zhaoge and Wang Pu's intentions in coming, a surprised look first appeared on Qiu Jiahai's face as he looked at Yan Zhaoge, "Oh? Junior Apprentice-Brother Yan actually has such methods? "
However, he soon laughed, "That's true. Compared to the Earth Mother Dao Sacrificial Ritual, the Internal Crystal Furnace is nothing much."
Qiu Jiahai nodded straightforwardly. "Okay, I'll be your assistant, but when do we start?"
"Let's first look for a power in the central Jun Heaven Territory outside of Kunlun Mountain, using it as a foundation to facilitate our initial expansion as well as spreading news," Yan Zhaoge said, "I wonder if senior apprentice-brother Qiu is familiar with any sects?"
Qiu Jiahai looked at Wang Pu. Wang Pu smiled and said, "You're more familiar with people than I am. I'll leave it to you."
"This naturally requires trustworthy yet reliable people," While Qiu Jiahai was familiar to the point of casually saying such things, Qiu Jiahai still pondered very carefully for a moment.
Many seemingly suitable choices immediately appeared in his mind before he filtered through them one by one, finally deciding on the most suitable one.
"How about Wind Thunder Manor?" Qiu Jiahai looked at Wang Pu.
Wang Pu thought for a moment before smiling, "That would be most suitable."
He said to Yan Zhaoge, "Wind Thunder Manor is located in the eastern Connected Cloud Mountain Range of the central Jun Heaven Territory. It is a dominating power there, and its current Manor Lord Heng Xianda is also someone who is well-connected."
"Wind Thunder Manor is famed beneath the heavens for artifact forging in the first place. They have branch altars in various places of the central Jun Heaven Territory, spreading their operations very widely. They have also expanded into the other eight Territories, spreading all over the world."
Yan Zhaoge smiled, "I have heard of the great name of Wind Thunder Manor in the southeast. Still, their branch altars are in the northwestern region of the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory, not in the Royal Reed Sea."
Qiu Jiahai similarly smiled, "Wind Thunder Manor has a long history, having been established for over a thousand years already. They have been on good terms with my Jade Capital Crag for many generations. they are completely trustworthy."
This was actually the most important point.
There were also other choices that were more advantageous in other areas.
Still, after much consideration, Qiu Jiahai still recommended Wind Thunder Manor.
"It is indeed the most suitable choice." Yan Zhaoge nodded, "If senior apprentice-brother Qiu is free, how about we make a trip to this Wind Thunder Manor together?"
Qiu Jiahai said, "Of course."
The two took their leave of Wang Pu before Qiu Jiahai led the way with Yan Zhaoge heading east with him.
After leaving the domain of Kunlun Mountain, they headed east, traversing a vast region as they gradually arrived in the eastern Connected Cloud Mountain Range of the central Jun Heaven Territory.
Not long after entering the Connected Cloud Mountain Range, the sky before them turned dark.
Thunderclouds filled the sky densely with bolts of lightning traversing unceasingly amidst the dark clouds.
The phenomenon of thunderstorms gradually appeared in the distant horizon as dense thunderbolts descended from the sky like a torrential downpour, unceasingly hacking down towards the mountain peaks down below.
The danger here was virtually comparable to the Endless Magnetic Storms of the Clear Scenic Region of the Royal Reed Sea.
"That is where Wind Thunder Manor is located." Qiu Jiahai pointed at the ocean of thunderbolts in the horizon, "The descendants of Wind Thunder Manor are proficient in artifact forging, drawing the assistance of heavenly thunder as they are rather unique in this regard."
Yan Zhaoge nodded, "The Splendid Thunder Metal Forging Art is an ancient art of pre-Great Calamity times. I wonder if the legacy of Wind Thunder Manor is complete?"
Qiu Jiahai nodded solemnly, "The Splendid Thunder Metal Forging Art of the Wind Thunder Manor's Heng Family is a complete legacy. After being analysed and researched by generations of descendants, it vaguely seems to be surpassing its predecessors."
"That is rather impressive," Yan Zhaoge's eyes lit up slightly.
The arts of this world did not necessarily have to be inferior to those of the past, new to those of the past.
A small portion of them had indeed already reached the limits of their own domain in terms of depth and breadth. If they wanted to break through, they could only completely transcend the great daos of this world.
Most existences might have some twists and turns, but on the whole, they were still progressing unceasingly.
It was just a pity that the glorious civilisations of pre-Great Calamity times had been dealt a heavy blow as many techniques which had already attained a considerable level of attainment had been lost.
Therefore, the people of post-Great Calamity times could only start anew from the ruins. As a result, some things of the current era seemed crude and immature as compared to those of pre-Great Calamity times.
This problem was especially evident in lower worlds like the Eight Extremities World and the Vast Ocean World.
In the World beyond Worlds, however, the situation was much more optimistic.
Yan Zhaoge possessed the complete version of the Splendid Thunder Metal Forging Art of pre-Great Calamity times.
Still, if the Heng Family of Wind Thunder Manor was truly able to create something new from their original foundation, Yan Zhaoge would be very interested in seeing it for himself.
