Before they had opened their eyes, the two Brocade Emperors were exactly the same.
Apart from the fact that one was clothed in black and the other in white, there was no difference at all.
Even their Devil Slaying Moves were already exactly the same as if they were one person.
Now, however, after opening their eyes, it was clearly possible to see the difference between the two.
The white-clothed Brocade Emperor's gaze was filled with various emotions, such as fury, sorrow, joy, benevolence and so on and so forth.
One would simply have to sigh in admiration at how a single person's gaze could simultaneously reveal so many emotions.
Meanwhile, the black-clothed Brocade Emperor was the complete opposite as his gaze was indifferent with no emotional fluctuations at all.
He did not seem like a living being as he looked at other living beings like they were lifeless objects.
While his gaze was clearly not ferocious, it caused one to tremble in fear.
After opening his eyes, the white-clothed Brocade Emperor first looked at Meng Wan, his gaze filled with benevolence and tender love, "Don't be afraid, Wan 'er. It's fine."
When he looked at Yan Zhaoge, his emotions were rather complex, "Little Friend Yan's methods are truly impressive."
The black-clothed Brocade Emperor first gazed at the Four Grands Earlier Heaven Flag up above before glancing indifferently at Yan Zhaoge and Meng Wan.
Yan Zhaoge could not feel any warmth from his gaze at all.
The shaking Four Grands Earlier Heaven Flag finally emitted a 'weng' sound as it transformed into a streak of light, flying off into the distance.
The black-clothed Brocade Emperor's gaze swept across Yan Zhaoge, Meng Wan and the white-clothed Brocade Emperor before he said nothing as he directly set off in pursuit of the Four Grands Earlier Heaven Flag.
"We can slowly discuss this when we have the time," Looking at Yan Zhaoge and Meng Wan, the white-clothed Brocade Emperor sighed before chasing after them as well.
The chaotic battlefield which had still been filled with danger a moment ago suddenly calmed down at this moment.
Yan Zhaoge placed a hand over his eyes as he watched the two figures leave before he turned and said to Meng Wan, "It is not that the white-clothed Brocade Emperor does not want to console you. Instead, if the Four Grands Earlier Heaven Flag falls into the hands of the black-clothed Brocade Emperor, you will be in great danger."
"In order to ensure your and Red Lotus Fu's safety, this white-clothed Brocade Emperor can only place the Four Grands Earlier Heaven Flag as his top priority."
"Of course, he definitely has feelings for the weapon that he has carried with him for many years. After all, the Four Grands Earlier Heaven Flag has accompanied him for many years. He is much older than you and Red Lotus."
Hearing his words, Meng Wan smiled bitterly, "Senior apprentice-brother Yan, you know that this is not what I am concerned about. What I want to know is that Father is currently …"
Yan Zhaoge collected the remnant Grand Illusory Spatial Thunder drifting amidst space as he explained, "To put it simply, the Brocade Emperor's soul completely split into two, making use of the devilish qi of the Nine Underworlds to reforge his body, thus becoming two."
"Past memories, knowledge, and mastery of martial arts are the same no matter if it's black or white. The only difference between the two is their consciousness and temperament."
Yan Zhaoge smacked his lips, "From the looks of it now, white-clothed walks the path of emotion, while black-clothed walks the unfeeling path."
Meng Wan asked softly, "What will happen next?"
"Now, they will have to decide the victor between them." Yan Zhaoge answered, "Only the victor has the hope of advancing further. Otherwise, one's cultivation base will remain stagnant."
"Currently, the two of them are comparable in strength. While they are both still True Immortals, they are both weaker than they were before they split apart. Still, there are no gaps in their minds like before."
Yan Zhaoge shrugged, "Of course, the so-called weak is only in comparison to other True Immortals and the Brocade Emperor himself. Compared to martial practitioners of the human world, there is still no comparison at all. The gap between the Human Immortal and Immortal realms is still the gap between the Human Immortal realms at the end of the day."
Meng Wan blinked as she understood what Yan Zhaoge was implying.
The victor between the black and white Brocade Emperors would probably not just be a simple matter of victory or defeat.
It would be a battle of life and death.
The victor would have the hope of advancing further. Actually, only the living would have the hope of advancing further as well.
Or rather, only the sole existence would be able to advance further.
Because neither of them was the other's clone.
"Winning the battle between them is only the first step." Yan Zhaoge compressed the drifting thunderbolts into a tiny thundercloud before storing it away, saying, "The victor will have complete control over himself just like before."
"While their minds are united, the scars caused by cultivation deviation still remain. If they truly want to advance further, they will have to mend those scars."
"To mend those scars, the things that were changed still have to be done. For example …" Yan Zhaoge looked at Meng Wan, "… If the black-clothed Brocade Emperor wins, he will still try to eliminate the two of you."
Also, he would kill Yan Di and obtain and refine his Grand Simplicity Splendour Cloud.
Without the Grand Simplicity Splendour Cloud, the Brocade Emperor who walked the unfeeling path would only be able to reach the peak of the True Immortal realm at most.
Only with the Grand Simplicity Splendour Cloud would he be able to advance further, standing shoulder to shoulder with the Three Sovereigns.
Meng Wan nodded, expressing her understanding before asking softly, "What if the white-clothed Brocade Emperor wins then?"
"The white-clothed one …" Yan Zhaoge said very straightforwardly, "I too cannot be certain. Still, I can be certain that if the white-clothed Brocade Emperor wins in the end, the two of you would not be in any danger at the very least."
Meng Wan instantly smiled bitterly once more.
"Perhaps even the white-clothed Brocade Emperor himself is still unclear on how he can advance further." Yan Zhaoge said mildly, "It is precisely because of this uncertainty and uncertainty that the unfeeling side of the Brocade Emperor's soul has been gaining the upper hand before the split."
As compared to the dao of emotion, however difficult it was, the future of the unfeeling dao at least had a clear path to tread.
Meanwhile, the dao of emotion seemed like a path of death that could not be thought of.
Yan Zhaoge deeply suspected that while the peak figures of the World beyond Worlds might not like it, most of them would be happy to see the Brocade Emperor walk the unfeeling dao.
That would entail that the Brocade Emperor had hopes of becoming a new Sovereign, even continuing to climb higher.
For Daoism which had many things to do in post-Great Calamity times, the more peak experts there were, the better.
Still, this was definitely under the precondition that Yan Di and the Grand Simplicity Splendour Cloud were not involved.
If Yan Di was involved, it was not just the Sword Sovereign who would not agree to it. The other bigwigs would have to reconsider as well.
Yan Di's potential and strength naturally went without saying.
"While it is selfish, I still hope that the white-clothed father can win at the end of the day …" Meng Wan sighed, saying candidly.
Yan Zhaoge smiled, "This is only human nature. Things having come to this point was not caused by your decision in the first place."
Meng Wan looked at Yan Zhaoge, "Senior apprentice-brother Yan, was this your original plan?"
"I more or less predicted the current situation." Yan Zhaoge waved his hands, "Still, that was not my original goal. I acted in hopes of restraining the unfeeling side of the Brocade Emperor. Still, it looks like the intensity of the confrontation between the Brocade Emperor's soul has already reached a very serious level, resulting in the current situation."
He kept the drifting Grand Illusory Spatial Thunder before leaving with Meng Wan, "While it is not very ideal, the current situation is still not bad. With the white-clothed Emperor restraining that black-clothed Emperor, it will be much easier for everyone as there will also be more room for us to maneuver."
"Still, we cannot completely ignore this. Otherwise, I personally feel that the black-clothed one has a greater chance of winning in a battle between the two Brocade Emperors."
