Yan Zhaoge closed his eyes, a silhouette lighting up within his dark sea of consciousness.
A white-clothed woman carried a small wine flask. As she drank, she substituted a sword with her finger as she brandished it in mid-air.
While her movements appeared leisurely and leisurely, as she brandished her sword, the sword-intent within was brutal to the extreme.
Yan Zhaoge was proficient in the Immortal Ending, Immortal Trapping and Immortal Slaughtering sword arts, all of which were extremely ferocious beneath the heavens.
Still, as he watched that white-clothed woman brandishing her sword now, he still felt shocked to the core.
It was as though the great dao had collapsed, the heavens and the earth no longer existing.
Everything that made up the world — time, space, matter, spirit, and so on — was being assembled and fused into a single entity, the foundation, and all sorts of principles were being destroyed.
"Exterminating Immortal sharp, Slaughtering Immortal dead, Trapping Immortal red.
Ending Immortal transformations boundlessly marvelous, the blood of Divinities drenched in blood. "
These four lines very vividly exposed the respective miraculous aspects of the Numinous Treasure Four Swords.
The sharpness of Exterminating Immortal was all-conquering, breaking all arts with a single sword.
There were countless powerful martial arts in this world that expounded on various principles. Amongst them, there was no lack of powerful defensive techniques.
Its defensive power was such that even the other three swords of the Numinous Treasure Four Swords would sometimes be helpless against it.
Yet, these techniques were like mere paper before the Immortal Exterminating Sword.
Against the Immortal Trapping, Immortal Ending and Immortal Slaughtering swords, the Immortal Exterminating Sword could even suppress them.
The head of the Numinous Treasure Four Swords, an existence only inferior to the Chaos Extinguishing Sword amongst the Prime Clear supreme martial arts.
In terms of offensive power, it was also one of the peak martial arts beneath the heavens.
In the hands of that white-clothed woman, such a ferocious supreme martial art possessed peerless power.
Yet, she always appeared carefree and casual. While the two formed an intense contrast, they seemed to be in harmony as it was hard for others to feel that there was a difference between them.
"He really has grasped the essence of the sword art. No wonder he is able to use the 'Sword Emperor' as his nickname," Seeing this, Yan Zhaoge nodded his head repeatedly.
While he was not a pure sword cultivator, he too used the sword and cultivated in the supreme arts of the Prime Clear lineage, even having once created the Slaying Azure Dragon Sword.
Still, seeing that white-clothed woman brandishing her sword now, Yan Zhaoge felt that this trip had not been in vain as he felt greatly inspired.
Needless to say, this white-clothed woman was naturally the Roving Jade Heaven's Purple Zoysia Emperor, Yan Di's mother and Yan Zhaoge's grandmother, the Sword Emperor Di Qinglian.
The owner of Danxia Mount here was the mighty powerhouse who made all the sword practitioners of Roving Jade Heaven bow their heads and willingly unsheathe their swords.
After the Great Calamity, he was one of Daoism's most outstanding geniuses in the dao of the sword.
Only when Yan Zhaoge's grandfather, the Sword God Yan Xintang, had suppressed the Roving Jade Heavens with his sword had Di Qinglian finally met her match in the dao of the sword.
While she admitted that she had lost by half a move, in Yan Xintang's opinion, she was the only person in this world who could compare to him in the dao of the sword.
Yin Shiyang who hailed from the Immortal Court possessed shocking talent as well. However, his foundations were still a little weak at the end of the day. Yan Xintang felt that it was a great pity that he had been delayed and neglected.
If not for the fact that such a person had died at a young age, he would have been like Yan Xintang, having the chance to become yet another legendary heavyweight of the dao of the sword of Daoism, standing shoulder to shoulder with the Lord of Plentiful Treasure, the Jade Cauldron Cultivated Deity, the Purple Tenuity Emperor and other bigwigs of the dao of the sword of Daoism.
Perhaps even surpassing the master?
Thinking of this, Yan Zhaoge sighed inwardly.
Of course, it was not that they had deep feelings for each other. After all, they had never met before.
It was just that Yan Zhaoge, as a martial practitioner of Daoism, could only sigh endlessly at the premature deaths of these two shocking figures.
He spent the following days in Di Qinglian's old residence on Danxia Peak, quietly observing and comprehending the remnant sword-intent that had been left behind when Di Qinglian had been cultivating in the sword here when she had still been alive.
Such a chance was extremely hard to come by.
It had not been like the situation at the Daoist temple where everyone had been caught off guard by the Great Calamity and unexpectedly collapsed. Therefore, many clues had been left behind.
Di Qinglian's sword-intent had likely been left behind at Danxia Peak by the Profound Sovereign and the Dragon Spring Emperor.
They had been waiting for Yan Xintang and Di Qinglian's descendants to come here as a gift.
Yan Zhaoge naturally cherished this chance as he calmed down and cultivated, earnestly analysing it.
Long Xueji, Gao Xuebo and the others did not come to disturb him.
Seeing Yan Zhaoge's actions, they all nodded to themselves.
"While this junior apprentice-nephew of ours is flamboyant in his actions, he is still able to calm down when he needs to do so," Gao Xuebo told Long Xueji in private.
Long Xueji agreed with his elder brother's view. Still, he did not say anything else as he just evaluated, "Being able to attain his current accomplishments, he naturally has his extraordinary aspects."
"Right, that person at Dynasty Vessel Valley has indeed sent someone over to deliver the news after receiving it," Gao Xuebo suddenly said.
Long Xueji frowned slightly before quickly relaxing, "There are too many people who gossip."
Gao Xuebo shook his head, "Others are different from us at the end of the day. While there is some kinship between him and little apprentice-uncle, Zhaoge is still someone of the World beyond Worlds at the end of the day. Others still consider other things when they look at him, unlike us who view him as a junior or nephew."
"Just some trivial matters, only thinking about these little tricks," Long Xueji snorted coldly.
Gao Xuebo waved his hands, "Having not concealed the fact that Zhaoge had come to the Roving Jade Heavens earlier and also openly sent him to Pillglow Peak, he should have expected that today's matter might occur. While this matter is rather troublesome, it is still a fortuitous encounter for Zhaoge."
"You can make the decision, elder brother," Long Xueji finally said, "Even if we want to send a letter, we should wait for Zhaoge to descend from Pillglow Peak first."
"How much longer do you think it will take?" Gao Xuebo asked.
Long Xueji shook his head, "I cannot tell."
Gao Xuebo was rather taken aback. This younger brother of his was probably already not much inferior to his little apprentice-uncle Di Qinglian in terms of his attainments in the dao of the sword as well as his talent in comprehension.
He was much more authoritative on this issue than Gao Xuebo.
Never would he have thought that Long Xueji would actually give such an ambiguous answer.
"Zhaoge's martial talent is extremely high, and his comprehension ability in the dao of the sword is also extremely high." Long Xueji added, "I am also unable to see through his depths in this aspect. Therefore, it is hard for me to judge. I can only say …"
The eyes of the white-clothed, jade-crowned youth Long Xueji lit up slightly, "If Zhaoge were to wholeheartedly cultivate in the sword, his accomplishments would definitely not be inferior to little apprentice-uncle and his wife."
"It is rare to see you praise someone like this, and it is also rare to see you like this. You are a senior apprentice-uncle at the very least. Don't go and compete in the sword with others without any sense of propriety," Gao Xuebo understood this younger brother of his too well.
Long Xueji retracted his gaze, nodding, "I know. That is why it is regrettable."
"What is even more regrettable is that I can tell that Zhaoge does not have the heart to focus solely on the dao of the sword."
Amidst their conversation, a disciple of their lineage sent a message, "Senior apprentice-uncle Yan from the World beyond Worlds has descended from Pillglow Peak!"
The two brothers exchanged looks, speechless for a long time.
After a long time, the two great experts of the Roving Jade Heavens simultaneously clapped their hands in admiration, "Good! What a Fallen Deity! "
