(PS: This chapter is the second chapter of yesterday's update.
Apart from that, I would like to chat with everyone as I feel a little complicated.
I had actually received the news last night. Still, not knowing whether it was true, I had not dared to say anything as I had wanted to wait and see if the rumours had been refuted.
From the looks of it today, however, the news was true. Mister Huang Yi had really left.
I don't know what the other authors are thinking. I only speak for myself here. I take Old Man Huang as the grandmaster of my line of work.
Of course, it was not to the extent of being sorrowful. It was just that I felt rather disappointed and regretful.
Especially with the Brocade Emperor being written about recently, I inadvertently recalled the days when I had been reading Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty, thinking of the Evil King Shi Zhixuan.
Such a coincidence left me feeling even more conflicted.
I could only console myself here that Old Man Huang had broken space and left. I wish him well.
Please forgive me for being a little naggy.)
Hearing the Brocade Emperor's question, Yan Zhaoge was rather taken aback, not having thought that this Emperor would continue asking about it.
Was he interested in the Extreme Yin Crown or did he have some other plans?
Many thoughts instantly flashed through Yan Zhaoge's mind.
There was no helping it. Facing a True Immortal who might do something shocking at any time, Yan Zhaoge had to think more about it.
He pondered inwardly while not revealing anything on his face, "In the Extreme Northern Lands of the northern Profound Heaven Territory."
"Extreme Northern Lands …" The Brocade Emperor nodded, pondering for a moment, "The dimensional space there is more unstable than elsewhere as a dimensional passageway would occasionally open, leading to extradimensional space."
"Still, some of these dimensional passageways might establish a connection with the Nine Underworlds."
While the Brocade Emperor's tone was mild, it was no different from a sudden clap of thunder.
Even Meng Wan and Chen Mingying knew what the words' Nine Underworlds' entailed.
Yan Zhaoge's pupils dilated slightly, "Even the Northern Exalt does not know of this?"
"He knows. Still, he is unable to ascertain which dimensional passageways might establish a connection with the Nine Underworlds." The Brocade Emperor answered mildly, "Of course, he also does not know if there is a problem with the dimensional passageway your fellow disciple entered."
"While a connection might arise, the World beyond Worlds has its own defences that the Nine Underworlds cannot infiltrate. While Northern Guan does have the responsibility of guarding the northern Profound Heaven Territory, it is merely a precaution."
Hearing his words, Yan Zhaoge and Meng Wan's hearts suddenly rose.
Still, the Brocade Emperor then looked at Meng Wan, saying warmly, "Don't worry. Father will take you to the north and try searching for it."
Joy appeared on Meng Wan's face. "Father can find Sister Feng?"
"If we know where the 'door' opened when she left, Father can make it open ahead of time. Then, we can enter the domain passageway together and try to find it." The Brocade Emperor said, "Still, extradimensional space is vast and boundless at the end of the day. She has been there for many years. She will need some luck to find it."
Meng Wan heaved a long sigh of relief. "There's finally some hope. It's already very good."
Yan Zhaoge lowered his gaze by the side, not making a sound.
Looking at that gentle, benevolent Brocade Emperor who was deeply in love with his children, he actually vaguely felt a trace of coldness!
Just from the Brocade Emperor's actions at the Star Reflecting Lake of the southern Blazing Heaven Territory in the World beyond Worlds, it was clear that this Emperor was definitely not a good father.
He moved the burial place to remember his deceased lover, and he doted on his long-lost daughter to the extent that he would grant her every request.
Yan Zhaoge was incomparably certain that if Meng Wan had said that she would rebuild the Sacred Sun Clan and seek vengeance against Broad Creed Mountain earlier, the Brocade Emperor would not have hesitated in the slightest to wage war against Broad Creed Mountain.
Yet, all of this formed a contradiction with his actions at Star Reflecting Lake.
"I'm afraid that the outcome of the confrontation between him who has feelings and him who is unfeeling is gradually beginning to be decided."
Yan Zhaoge's expression was as per usual as he raised his eyes to look at the Brocade Emperor once more, thinking, "This outcome, however, is that the unfeeling side is gradually beginning to gain the upper hand!"
While there were two opposing ideologies, the Brocade Emperor was clear about his own situation.
There were not many ways to resolve this problem.
One path was the path of obtaining feelings and forgetting them. Yet, because of Fu Ting and Meng Wan, this path seemed to have already been blocked off, with little hope as it was unknown where it led.
The other path was to simply turn from feeling into unfeeling!
From the looks of it, this path was much simpler.
Eradicating both Fu Ting and Meng Wan would be the way out!
Not only would this solve his current problem, the Brocade Emperor's attainments in his cultivation base might even improve further.
While he would most likely not be able to break through to a higher cultivation level, it would be sufficient for him to push towards the peak of the True Immortal stage!
The unfeeling side of the Brocade Emperor only cared about whether it was reasonable or not, only calculating the gains and losses.
As compared to the first path where he had no clue as to how he should proceed, the second path was simply far, far superior.
There was no need for him to hesitate at all as to how he should choose.
However, the emotional side of him naturally rejected the second option.
It was just that Yan Zhaoge now guessed that the unfeeling side of the Brocade Emperor's split soul was probably gradually beginning to take over the dominant position now.
The warmth and kindness before him seemed more like the futile struggles of his feeling side.
Buried beneath that warmth and benevolence was an icy cold killing intent!
This killing intent was not just targeted at Meng Wan before him. It was also targeted at Fu Ting who was still far away at Ingenious Flying Peak's Red Lotus Cliff.
The Brocade Emperor was doing his best to make up for his two daughters. Yet, the more beautiful things were before him, the closer the cliff behind him was!
"This is really …" Yan Zhaoge's eyes narrowed into slits, his gaze flickering slightly.
Whether it was feeling or unfeeling, it was best for the Brocade Emperor to decide on one as soon as possible.
His current conflicted state was the worst.
Because he was the most unstable and unpredictable, who knew what he might do.
The eruption of the name of the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord on Star Reflecting Lake was just the beginning.
To a certain extent, even the Brocade Emperor himself probably could not tell what he might do next.
If he really went crazy, even he would be afraid of it.
Therefore, whether he was feeling or unfeeling, once he had decided on one, even if it was still hard to guess what he was thinking, there would at least be some sort of pattern to follow as they would be able to communicate normally, be able to plan and defend against it.
It would not be like how things were now, where he seemed very ordinary and not special at all, yet might suddenly cause trouble at any time.
As for whether he was feeling or unfeeling, Yan Zhaoge hoped that it would be unfeeling from the perspective of a purely bystander.
Absolute rationality, unfeeling, seemingly icy cold and terrifying. Yet, from Yan Zhaoge's perspective, it was easier to predict the actions and thoughts of such a person.
Of course, if such a person was an enemy, he would virtually never make a subjective error as it would be very hard to influence his thoughts.
Still, if there really was such a person who only calculated gains and losses as he did not act emotionally, it would actually be very hard for him to form enmity with others.
Unless someone blocked his path.
After all, being unfeeling did not mean that he had no desires.
At this point, Yan Zhaoge's heart suddenly jolted slightly as he seemed to vaguely think of something.
Having comprehended supreme martial arts of the Grand Clear lineage over the years, his comprehension had grown deeper and deeper.
Grand Simplicity was like Taiji, one beginning and one ending as they were profound and extraordinary.
He could vaguely see some traces of the Brocade Emperor's future path.
If the Brocade Emperor did not walk the unfeeling path and instead walked the feeling path, his future path might be blocked.
Yan Zhaoge currently had no suitable way to resolve this problem.
If he were to eliminate Fu Ting and Meng Wan, causing the Brocade Emperor to completely walk the unfeeling path, his cultivation base might even improve further.
Still, it would only make up for his previous flaws as the repercussions would still exist.
It was likely that he would be stuck at the peak of the True Immortal realm, unable to advance any further.
If he wanted to advance, he would need a special fortuitous encounter.
This would depend on the complete foundation of the Grand Cosmos Five Manifestations.
Here came the problem. If it was just the Taiyi Fist, it would still be fine. Yet, if he needed the Grand Simplicity Splendour Cloud, things would be very serious.
The Grand Simplicity Splendour Cloud was currently one with Yan Di as they were bound together for good or ill.
It would not be a problem for him to temporarily borrow it or provide it for himself.
Still, if the other party wanted to completely refine the Grand Simplicity Splendour Cloud, it would mean that he would have to separate it from Yan Di.
This could only be done after Yan Di's death.
As compared to the possible conflict between Meng Wan and the Sacred Sun Clan, this could be the true conflict.
