After taking his leave of Chen Mingying, Yan Zhaoge left the Eight Extremities World along with the Brocade Emperor and Meng Wan, returning to the World beyond Worlds.
This time, he directly walked through the wound of the sky of the Sacred Sun Clan, arriving at the Water Ridge Peak of the back mountain of Broad Creed Mountain in the World beyond Worlds.
"Shall we go to Golden Court Mountain first?" Yan Zhaoge looked inquiringly at the Brocade Emperor, "In rebuilding the Sacred Sun Clan, senior apprentice-brother Tang cannot do without the support of the Southeastern Exalt."
The Brocade Emperor smiled, "It is naturally fine. It has also been a long time since I have seen Fellow Daoist Cao."
The group immediately set out for Golden Court Mountain.
On the way, some news channels contacted Yan Zhaoge, informing him of the latest situation in the World beyond Worlds.
There was good news and bad news.
When it rains, it pours. The worst news was that the Concealed Sovereign had gone into seclusion and isolated himself from the outside world.
Whether it was Wang Zhengcheng, Li Junxin, and the others on the Southern High Peak's Qilin Cliff, or Wang Pu and the others on the Northern High Peak's Jade Capital Crag, they could only sit and watch helplessly.
Female Empress Jie Mingkong had never been interested in such matters that had nothing to do with her.
The Heaven Emperor and the Brocade Emperor were not on good terms in the first place. With him interfering in this matter, the Brocade Emperor's reaction would be hard to predict.
If they were not careful, a battle between Perfected Immortals might break out.
Of course, there was also good news. The Encompassing Emperor who was one of the World beyond Worlds' Five Emperors alongside the Brocade Emperor and the Heaven Emperor had recently returned to the World beyond Worlds from extradimensional space.
The Senluo Emperor, Li Jun, was also known as the Encompassing Emperor.
The Lord of the World beyond Worlds' central Jun Heaven Territory's Kunlun Mountain's Round Wisdom Ridge, one of the Five Emperors, possessed outstanding strength.
In the great battle between the Brocade Emperor Fu Yunchi and Mars Halberd earlier, he had been one of the mediators and witnesses.
Under his witness, the Brocade Emperor and Mars Halberd finally agreed to battle amidst space.
However, on the day of the battle, the Encompassing Emperor had headed to the void outside and did not return to watch the ceremony. Only the Earth Exalt, Wang Zhengcheng, was responsible for bearing witness.
In the following years, the Encompassing Emperor, the Earthly Sovereign, the Sword Sovereign and the other experts had remained in extradimensional space, not having returned to the World beyond Worlds.
Not long ago, he finally returned.
As soon as he had returned, before he could even return to his dao arena residence in Round Intelligence Ridge's Myriad Phenomena Cave, he had received news that the Brocade Emperor had suffered cultivation deviation.
The southern Blazing Heaven Territory's Star Reflecting Lake revealing the name of the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord had nearly caused a huge commotion.
While the situation had not escalated due to Yan Zhaoge, the Brocade Emperor's own disciple He Xixing and the Earth Exalt Wang Zhengcheng's disciple Li Junxin had both been conned.
In many people's minds, there was also Yan Zhaoge who was also present.
After learning that Yan Zhaoge and the Brocade Emperor had both gone to Golden Court Mountain, the Encompassing Emperor had come here as well.
Yan Zhaoge had naturally long since heard of the Encompassing Emperor Li Jun. Still, this was his first time seeing him in person.
Dressed in black, he had white hair and a youthful face. His shiny white hair was combed neatly.
As he stood there, he seemed to be one with the world, and it was difficult to distinguish him from the world. Every single movement he made seemed natural, almost like the Dao.
"Yan Zhaoge greets the Encompassing Emperor," Yan Zhaoge smiled in greeting.
Looking at Yan Zhaoge, the Encompassing Emperor nodded slightly, "Heroes come from the young. It is truly a fortunate thing for the Exalted Gold Luminary to have such a bloodline, and also a fortunate thing for our Daoism."
"You overpraise me, Encompassing Emperor," Yan Zhaoge smiled. He could clearly see the pity in the other party's gaze.
Indeed, after greeting Yan Zhaoge and Cao Jie, the Encompassing Emperor's gaze fell on the Brocade Emperor.
The Brocade Emperor's expression was warm as a spring breeze, "I have troubled you again, Daoist Brother. I am ashamed."
The Encompassing Emperor sighed, "I once advised you not to walk this path that year. If you had listened to my advice, would things have turned out this way?"
"What will come will come. I enjoyed a thousand years of peace before, but didn't I still have to face that tribulation in the end?" The Brocade Emperor smiled, "At least the tribulation of Mars Halberd was finally overcome."
The Encompassing Emperor said, "Having overcome the old tribulation, a new tribulation has arisen. This tribulation before you will not be easy to overcome as well."
The smile on the Brocade Emperor's face vanished as he was silent for a moment before he said, "Indeed."
He raised his head and looked at the Encompassing Emperor, "What do you intend to do now that you have come, Daoist Brother?"
"That will depend on what you intend to do," The Encompassing Emperor's snowy white brows twitched slightly, "The incident of Star Reflecting Lake must not happen again."
The Brocade Emperor raised his head slightly, murmuring after a while, "What do I intend to do? I can't say for sure myself … "
Hearing his words, the expressions of Yan Zhaoge, Cao Jie and the Encompassing Emperor all turned solemn.
They all knew that while the Brocade Emperor's words seemed vague and perfunctory, it was actually the most accurate description of what he was thinking.
"My daughter has a close friend who headed to the Extreme Northern Lands and has yet to return after entering a foreign dimension. It has already been many years since they last met, and they still miss each other," The Brocade Emperor regained his wits, saying, "I intend to head north with my daughter and attempt to search for her."
"We father and daughter have been separated for many years. I have never fulfilled my responsibilities as a father. Every time I think about it, I feel rather guilty."
He looked at Meng Wan with a gentle gaze, "Wan 'er is sensible and has been consoling me all this while. It is rare for her to have something that she wishes to do. As her father, I naturally have to do all I can for her."
The Encompassing Emperor's gaze was calm and without ripples as he just glanced silently at Meng Wan.
After his gaze swept between the Brocade Emperor and Meng Wan, the Encompassing Emperor said slowly, "There are a few dimensional passageways in the Extreme Northern Lands that lead to a foreign dimension that vaguely have something to do with the Nine Underworlds."
"Yes, my daughter has been extremely worried about this," The Brocade Emperor nodded, "Still, that is a minority at the end of the day."
The Encompassing Emperor said, "I wonder what Fellow Daoist Fu thinks of this travelling together with your daughter?"
With this matter concerning the Nine Underworlds, the Encompassing Emperor would not take it lightly.
While he and the Brocade Emperor were old friends, the latter appeared incomparably normal as they were chatting happily now.
Still, only the heavens knew what would happen if the Brocade Emperor left.
The matter of Star Reflecting Lake was sufficient for all those in the know to feel as though they were facing a great enemy as they raised their guard against this former Lord of Ingenious Flying Peak's Red Lotus Cliff.
"I naturally do not mind. It is just that I will inevitably feel uneasy if I trouble you, Fellow Daoist." The Brocade Emperor smiled as he looked at Yan Zhaoge, "Right, Wan 'er's friend is precisely this Little Friend Yan's beloved wife."
The Encompassing Emperor raised his brows slightly, "Oh? Does Little Friend Yan wish to travel together with us? "
Yan Zhaoge similarly smiled as he answered, "My wife and I have not seen each other for many years as well. I miss her dearly. It is rare that the two Majesties have personally come looking for us. I must make this trip together no matter what. I hope that the Encompassing Emperor will allow it."
The Encompassing Emperor glanced deeply at him before nodding, "Of course."
Looking at Cao Jie, the Brocade Emperor smiled, "Better early than late. We will set off now. I hope that Fellow Daoist Cao can help us with the matter of the Sacred Sun Clan reopening its headquarters in the World beyond Worlds."
A worried look flashed through Cao Jie's eyes as he still answered calmly, "Rest assured."
They immediately set off, departing Golden Court Mountain.
They headed north, passing through the central Jun Heaven Territory and heading to the northern Profound Heaven Territory.
The Brocade Emperor did not linger at Kunlun Mountain, nor did he return to Ingenious Flying Peak's Red Lotus Cliff as he seemed to have completely forgotten about his clan as well as the fact that his other daughter, Fu Ting, was there.
Meanwhile, Yan Zhaoge and the Encompassing Emperor similarly tacitly chose not to mention this matter.
