'Embracing Taiji' He Xixing, a late Immortal Bridge Martial Saint.
He was a proud disciple of the Brocade Emperor Fu Yunchi, a peak descendant of Red Lotus Cliff.
In the World beyond Worlds, he had always been renowned alongside Nie Jingshen, Qing Shuzi and the others.
While his reputation was not as resounding as Nie Jingshen's, he was still a peak expert of the World beyond Worlds' younger generation.
Standing at the peak of the ninth level of the Martial Saint Realm, only a step away from becoming a Human Immortal, he was one of the people who had the highest chance of becoming an Exalt.
When talking to Yan Zhaoge about their fellow disciples, Fu Ting was full of praise for He Xixing.
Yan Zhaoge had met him once when he had first come to Ingenious Flying Peak.
Afterwards, due to Yan Zhaoge's reminder, He Xixing had come to the south in an attempt to investigate the whereabouts of the Brocade Emperor.
Now that the person had been found, He Xixing was not happy at all.
"Master, what is your purpose in coming here?" After greeting Yan Zhaoge, He Xixing gazed once more at the black and white hemisphere in the distance, a perplexed expression on his face.
Glancing at him, Yan Zhaoge hesitated for a moment. In the end, he still did not tell Wang Pu and the others about their guesses.
Through sound transmission, he revealed some information to Fang Zhun. Hearing his words, a strange light instantly flickered in Fang Zhun's eyes.
Although his heart was in turmoil, his expression didn't change, and he was as calm as usual.
After a while, he excused himself to He Xixing and left as if nothing had happened.
He had to contact the others of Broad Creed Mountain as soon as possible, making preparations early on.
Yan Zhaoge remained where he was, gazing at that black and white hemisphere alongside He Xixing. There was no point in being anxious now as they could only wait patiently.
Not long after, more people arrived from the north.
Gazing back, Yan Zhaoge and He Xixing saw that the newcomer was garbed in ochre clothes, his expression heavy.
"Li Junxin …" After seeing that person's appearance, a name leapt into Yan Zhaoge's mind.
He was the disciple of Wang Zhengcheng, the Earth Sovereign's grand-disciple, the Earth Spirit Lord Li Junxin.
He was also a late Immortal Bridge Martial Saint, being on par with He Xixing and Qing Shuzi.
The grandeur of the event was even slightly greater than He Xixing and Qing Shuzi, and it was only slightly inferior to Nie Jingshen.
The Heaven Primordial Emperor had said that apart from his disciple Qing Shuzi, there were three other people who were extremely likely to become Exalts within a short period of time.
He was referring to Nie Jingshen, Li Junxin, and He Xixing.
The Earth Exalt Wang Zhengcheng's seniority in the World beyond Worlds was extremely high. Li Junxin's seniority was extraordinarily high as well.
However, Li Junxin was not arrogant at the moment. He only looked solemnly at the huge black and white hemisphere that enveloped the Star Reflecting Lake.
Seeing Yan Zhaoge, his gaze wavered slightly before he took the initiative to step forward.
"Long time no see, Fellow Daoist He," Li Junxin greeted, "Fellow Daoist Yan, this is the first time we've met.
Yan Zhaoge and He Xixing returned the greeting, "Greetings, Fellow Daoist Li."
As the three of them stood together, the surrounding people who had rushed over to check on the situation shifted their attention away from the black and white hemisphere. Instead, they paid attention to the three of them.
One was a personal disciple of the Brocade Emperor, the other a grand-disciple of the Earthly Sovereign.
There was also a junior apprentice-nephew of the Sword Sovereign. Even if one did not look at his background, it was clear that he had caused great waves in recent years as he was the most famous figure of the World beyond Worlds' younger generation.
Standing together, while Yan Zhaoge's cultivation base was the lowest, he attracted the most attention.
During Broad Creed Mountain's opening ceremony, Yan Di had slain the Southern Exalt Zhuang Shen, shocking the entire world.
Still, before this, Yan Zhaoge had also held the upper hand in his battle against Zhuang Shen.
An Immortal Bridge Martial Saint had beaten a Human Exalt to the point where it was hard for him to withstand. This had naturally drawn worldwide attention.
This was even more so when Yan Zhaoge had mightily resisted the Heaven Emperor afterwards.
Let alone the fact that Li Junxin and He Xixing had yet to attain the Human Exalt stage, even if they had, they might not be able to do anything to Yan Zhaoge.
Still, Yan Zhaoge felt somewhat wary.
He vaguely felt that there seemed to be someone here who could truly threaten him.
It was just that this feeling was extremely vague as it seemed like a misconception.
"How long has the Brocade Emperor been like this?" Li Junxin now asked softly.
He Xixing inhaled deeply, "It has already been close to a full day."
Yan Zhaoge and Li Junxin both frowned, not speaking.
Everyone was silent as they just gazed at that black and white hemisphere.
After who knew how long, Yan Zhaoge's heart suddenly jolted.
Then, that black and white hemisphere began collapsing, becoming flat as it finally transformed into a Taiji diagram.
The Taiji diagram rotated, shrinking towards its centre.
As the black and white faded, the Star Reflecting Lake which had been enveloped earlier finally saw the light of day once more.
Everyone's eyes lit up. The scenery of the lake was indeed intoxicating.
Bright starlight was reflected on the surface of the lake, beautiful and majestic, profound and profound as one would not be able to leave after seeing it.
"Could this be the place where the Brocade Emperor and Liu Xianting met that year?" Yan Zhaoge wondered, "It is indeed a good place to pick up girls."
While the black and white Taiji diagram was shrinking, no one here dared to approach it as they still observed it from afar.
There was only the Brocade Emperor Fu Yunchi's disciple He Xixing who strode forward, slowly walking towards the centre of the Taiji diagram which was also the centre of Star Reflecting Lake.
Looking at Li Junxin beside him, Yan Zhaoge saw that Li Junxin was also looking at him.
The two retracted their gazes, walking towards the centre of the lake as well.
The scenery of Star Reflecting Lake was beautiful, vaguely exquisite and graceful. Still, the entire lake actually occupied a very large area.
At the centre of the lake were a few small islands. They were all very small as they resembled the scattered stars of the universe.
Following their senses, Yan Zhaoge, He Xixing and Li Junxin ascended one of the small islands.
The island was lush and green, the scenery beautiful.
Still, the trio was not in the mood for scenery at this moment.
Their gazes traversed through the dense forest, falling on the side of a clear spring within the forest.
There were two people seated facing each other there.
Beside them was a grave. From the difference in the soil and the surrounding environment, it was an old grave that had been moved over from somewhere else.
Under the control of martial experts who possessed the strength to move mountains and fill the seas, there was no need to excavate the coffin or corpse of the deceased at all when moving a grave.
They could just dig up the entire area around the grave before moving it over to the new location and relocating it there.
For example, Phoenix Ritual Mountain's Wutong Slope had already long since moved away from their original headquarters, the graves of their predecessors having been moved away by Mao Yuansheng and the others as well.
A tombstone stood before the grave. Looking at the words inscribed on it, Yan Zhaoge raised his head slightly, "So Liu Xianting has long since passed away …"
The Brocade Emperor had indeed been looking for Liu Xianting when he had asked the martial practitioners of Phoenix Ritual Mountain about the whereabouts of a certain person.
From the looks of it now, Liu Xianting had long since passed away and been buried. The Phoenix Ritual Mountain martial practitioners who had been moved earlier had brought the graves of their predecessors along with them.
Afterwards, they had been handed over to the Brocade Emperor by Mao Yuansheng.
The Brocade Emperor had moved Liu Xianting's grave here at Star Reflecting Lake.
Yan Zhaoge gazed at the two people seated facing each other before the grave.
One of them was a handsome middle-aged man who appeared to be in his forties.
She wore a snow-white robe with a red robe on the outside. Her long hair was not tied up but let down behind her.
This was none other than one of the World beyond Worlds' Five Emperors, the Brocade Emperor, Fu Yunchi.
