Wang Pu and Qiu Jiahai stared at each other.
Qiu Jiahai sighed. "Zhuang Nanfang is really …"
"Even he himself probably did not think that this would be the result. He most likely just wants to keep the Brocade Emperor busy, unable to rush over to our Broad Creed Mountain's opening ceremony." Yan Zhaoge also sighed, "After all, he's already an Emperor in the True Immortal Realm. He should be able to make up for it."
"It was only when you mentioned senior apprentice-uncle Yue's evaluation of the Brocade Emperor that I learnt that the Brocade Emperor probably left behind some hidden dangers when he pushed open the door to Immortality, resulting in his current state."
Qiu Jiahai asked, "Why didn't there be a problem earlier or later, but now? If that Meng Wan had grown up in the World beyond Worlds, she should be around the same age as Red Lotus Fu? It has been so many years. "
The corners of Yan Zhaoge's mouth twitched, "I'm afraid that the Brocade Emperor was completely unaware of this back then, only having heard the news recently due to Zhuang Shen. He should have seen Meng Wan in person this time, with the crisis erupting in the end."
There was no need for further words. It was already sufficient for the Brocade Emperor to meet Meng Wan.
Qiu Jiahai's eyes widened. "How could he not know?"
Let alone the Brocade Emperor, any random martial practitioner who had some accomplishments in the martial dao would be able to control whether or not they wanted to keep their seed.
Unless he was plucked by someone.
Still, there was probably no one in the World beyond Worlds who could currently pluck the Brocade Emperor.
Plucking the Brocade Emperor without the Brocade Emperor noticing at all was something that no one else could do.
Liu Xianting's cultivation base had been far too inferior to that of the Brocade Emperor that year.
"Who knows what's going on," Yan Zhaoge curled his lips.
Wang Pu said, "Although this matter seems to have nothing to do with us, it's actually not a trivial matter."
In the World beyond Worlds, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were no minor matters.
Any slight disturbance could affect the entire World beyond Worlds.
"It's not like there's no direct relationship." Yan Zhaoge smacked his lips, "He might very well be eyeing my father's Grand Simplicity Splendour Cloud or my Taiyi Fist."
Who knew what the Brocade Emperor, whose mind had gone haywire, might do now.
"The question now is whether the Brocade Emperor can recover?" Wang Pu looked at Yan Zhaoge, "If the Brocade Emperor had obtained the Taiyi Fist that year, perhaps there would not be such trouble now."
"Of course, I am not saying that junior apprentice-brother Yan will work for nothing. You can casually state your conditions now, and I believe that Ingenious Flying Peak will not bargain at all."
Yan Zhaoge lightly rubbed his temples, "If only it were that simple."
"I've studied the supreme arts of the Grand Clear lineage over the past few years and have gained some insights as well."
He smiled bitterly, "The Brocade Emperor's foundation is already set in stone and cannot be changed. Of course, learning the Taiyi Fist now will be of use to him as it can greatly increase his strength. Still, it is a pity that it can only be used on his current foundation."
In other words, there was no way to solve the problem at hand. Instead, it made the madman stronger.
Hearing this, Wang Pu felt helpless.
Qiu Jiahai pondered for a moment before asking, "What exactly is the Brocade Emperor's current state? Is it just a simple delirium, or is it similar to the Soul Detachment Syndrome, where opposing thoughts and consciousness appear? "
"If I were to guess, it would be the latter." Yan Zhaoge raised his head slightly, "With the Brocade Emperor having suffered cultivation deviation, the most likely outcome would be a split soul, one passionate while the other emotionless!"
The journey that the Brocade Emperor's will had traversed over the years had been separated into different stages.
Before he had given birth to Fu Ting and Meng Wan, he had not been stained by even a single leaf.
At this stage, the Brocade Emperor could be described as having three thousand weak waters, all drained by a single scoop.
Of course, if one were to really count the number of women that he had experienced, there would be far more than three thousand over the course of over a thousand years.
At this stage, he was somewhere between passionate and emotionless.
He was completely devoted to every single relationship. Yet, it was like he had countless versions of himself that corresponded to these countless relationships.
In the past hundred years or so, the Brocade Emperor had stepped into a whole new stage.
Three thousand weak waters, only drained by a single scoop.
At this stage, he could be said to be devoted or extremely emotional.
In the process of changing emotions, the Brocade Emperor's cultivation base had indeed gained hope of improving further.
Yet, during this process, the Brocade Emperor had made a mistake for some unknown reason.
What should have been 'many' had turned into 'one' had turned into 'many' instead.
Thus, a hidden danger had been sown.
Now that the hidden danger had erupted, the exalted Emperor had truly become 'foolish' …
Of course, even though he had become 'foolish', he was still an Emperor.
And even more dangerous.
With just a wave of his hand, innumerable people would die casually.
"Extreme Emotion regressed and fell, yet was unable to return to that first stage where it seemed passionate whilst also emotionless." Yan Zhaoge guessed, "Instead, a split occurred, with passion and emotionless having been separated."
Qiu Jiahai was silent momentarily before he suddenly asked, "That is to say that the Brocade Emperor's mind and memories are still clear. He will definitely be able to judge his current state and seek a way to resolve it."
"In that case, is it possible that he …"
As Qiu Jiahai said this, he slowly made a chopping motion with his palm.
Yan Zhaoge pondered very earnestly for a moment before shaking his head, "It is most likely useless. To him, the crux of the matter is not that he currently has two daughters. Instead, it is that he had two daughters back then. Denying the present cannot change the past."
"Killing one of them cannot allow him to start all over again."
Yan Zhaoge paused for a moment before saying softly, "Instead, killing both of them at the same time, perhaps …"
Wang Pu said, "If junior apprentice-brother Yan's words are true and the Brocade Emperor's soul has really split into two, the emotionless one will probably have such a plan."
Qiu Jiahai continued, "Meanwhile, the passionate one will definitely try to stop it."
The three of them looked at each other.
Yan Zhaoge said slowly, "This is all just a guess. Let us first see what exactly is going on with the Brocade Emperor."
Qiu Jiahai gazed towards the south, "Did he head to the southern Blazing Heaven Territory as soon as he returned to take revenge on Southern Zhuang and Wutong Slope?"
"Then, he will have wasted all his efforts …"
With Zhuang Shen already dead, Phoenix Ritual Mountain's Wutong Slope had long since left Phoenix Ritual Mountain under the leadership of their new Chief, Mao Yuansheng, seeking to live in seclusion.
"No, that's not right." Halfway through his words, Qiu Jiahai denied his guess, "The emotionless one does not just lack love or sympathy. Instead, he does not even have emotions like hatred or rage."
Yan Zhaoge nodded, "That's right. The emotionless Brocade Emperor does not consider things based on love or hate. Instead, he considers whether it is reasonable or unreasonable, or whether it is beneficial or not."
"Just because he is emotionless does not mean that he has no desires. Still, in the process of pursuing a goal, he will do things that are beneficial to him and will not do things that are not beneficial."
"For example, if he wants to return to his original state or advance further, and if taking revenge on Zhuang Shen and Wutong Slope is of no help in this, he will most likely not do it."
"Still …" Yan Zhaoge lightly tapped his temple, "The passionate one's standard of consideration may very well be the exact opposite."
