Di Qinglian's remnant sword-intent on Pillglow Peak had been there for many years at the end of the day.
Although it had been preserved by some people, it was still a difficult thing to figure out the truth from it, and how much truth could one figure out from it.
Not only did one have to possess supreme talent in the martial dao, one also had to possess sufficient comprehension ability and spirituality in the dao of the sword.
Yan Zhaoge had clearly spent much less time comprehending the dao than Gao Xuebo, Long Xueji and the others had expected.
How could these two peak sword cultivators not sigh in admiration at this?
Gao Xuebo and Long Xueji were incomparably shocked upon receiving the news. Instead of mentioning it, Yan Zhaoge had been pondering over his gains from earlier as he walked down Pillglow Peak.
"Grandmother's comprehension of the Immortal Exterminating Sword is indeed outstanding. There are many details that are worth pondering over and over again." Yan Zhaoge clicked his tongue in praise, "The truth is revealed in the mundane, the details changing again and again. It is indeed extraordinary."
Passing by the Sword Unsheathing Pool halfway up the mountain, Yan Zhaoge retrieved the sword he had left there earlier.
After pondering for a moment, Yan Zhaoge finally left the Green Abyss Sword behind.
Ever since Yan Zhaoge had roamed the martial world, his first sword had been the Jade Dragon Sword, which he had then gifted to his junior apprentice-brother Ying Longtu, Han Long 'er.
Now that Han Long 'er had become a Martial Saint, the Jade Dragon Sword that was merely a low-grade spirit artifact was no longer suitable for him.
Still, he had always loved it as much as his life, always carrying it with him. Even now that he had other weapons to use, the Jade Dragon Sword that Yan Zhaoge had gifted him still never left his side for a moment.
After the Jade Dragon Sword, the sword that Yan Zhaoge used the most was the high-grade spirit artifact, the Green Abyss Sword.
This sword had been personally forged by Yan Zhaoge's Grand Master, Yuan Zhengfeng. It had followed Yan Zhaoge all the way until he had stepped into the Martial Saint realm and switched to using Sacred Artifacts.
Still, this sword was always by Yan Zhaoge's side.
In order to forge his dark green bamboo staff, he had burned countless divine weapons. At that time, almost all of the high grade spirit weapons in his possession had been used as firewood. Later on, he had even burned many of the sacred weapons. However, he had kept this Green Abyss Sword.
In the future, if the need arose, he would not feel the pinch even if he burned the Light Yin Sword Seal, the Origin Circulating Heavenly Light Sword or even the Evil Sword Taotie.
However, this Cyan Abyss Sword was different from the Jade Dragon Sword.
Looking at the numerous white lotuses blooming before him, Yan Zhaoge finally left the Green Abyss Sword at the bottom of the pond.
"Back then, you had the title of 'Sword Heng'. It's a pity that I couldn't personally experience your guidance and test, so I don't know if I could pass."
Yan Zhaoge sighed, bowing towards the lotus pond, "I will most likely not be staying here for long in the Roving Jade Heavens. This Green Abyss Sword will remain here then."
When he left the mountain, Gao Xuebo's disciples were waiting for him.
Seeing Yan Zhaoge, the Minor White Peak disciples were all greatly shocked as they were even somewhat unable to recover their wits.
They had been specifically instructed to stand guard here.
His seniors had once vaguely mentioned that Yan Zhaoge was comprehending the dao on the mountain, and that they should not disturb him.
While Pillglow Peak had been empty for a long time, martial practitioners of the Prime Clear direct lineage naturally knew what this place was.
In their opinion, comprehending the Dao in the Sword Emperor's former residence for many years was a very normal thing.
Who could have known that Yan Zhaoge would descend the mountain after just a few days?
If it were anyone else, those Minor White Peak disciples would probably suspect Yan Zhaoge of being unable to accomplish anything in the end, having no choice but to retreat in the face of difficulties. That was why he had ended things so hastily, descending the mountain so early.
Still, as disciples of Green Duckweed Mountain's Minor White Peak who had been specifically instructed to stand guard here, they had a general understanding of Yan Zhaoge.
Yan Zhaoge's illustrious fame in the World beyond Worlds had already gradually spread amongst the core circles of the Roving Jade Heavens.
How could someone who could battle Human Exalts head-on after just attaining the Immortal Bridge be a fool?
"It's just that this is too fast!" The Minor White Peak disciples all wondered inwardly, "Perhaps he is not proficient in the dao of the sword? Still, since the seniors permitted him to ascend Pillglow Peak, he should at least know how to use the sword … "
While they were greatly surprised, the Minor White Peak martial practitioners did not forget their etiquette as they went forward to greet Yan Zhaoge before leading the way back to Minor White Peak.
Yan Zhaoge's gaze flickered slightly as he sensed that there seemed to be someone spying on him and Pillglow Peak in the distance.
Seeing him descend the mountain, the other party had immediately fled as if they were on the lookout.
"Hah …" The corners of Yan Zhaoge's mouth arched slightly, but he said nothing more.
The conflict between the World beyond Worlds and the Roving Jade Heavens was very deep.
It was like how Gao Qing's fellow disciples and the disciples of the Brocade Emperor's lineage of the World beyond Worlds' Kunlun Mountain's Ingenious Flying Peak had been bickering over the Profound Sky Purple Gold Furnace that year.
While the World beyond Worlds did not allow martial practitioners of the Prime Clear direct lineage to roam freely, the Roving Jade Heavens similarly prohibited descendants of the Jade Clear and Grand Clear lineage from appearing.
If one's identity was exposed and caught, it would not be as simple as just being expelled most of the time. Instead, blood would have to be shed.
Due to his grandmother, he had been able to enter the Roving Jade Heavens without much difficulty. Still, he was not of the Prime Clear direct lineage at the end of the day.
In the world of martial practitioners, there were many other factors besides bloodline that determined one's identity.
The most important of these was one's lineage.
In some situations, one's lineage was even more representative than bloodline.
Led by those Minor White Peak martial practitioners, Yan Zhaoge left Pillglow Peak and returned to Minor White Peak.
Along the way, there were naturally Minor White Peak disciples who tried to inform Gao Xuebo and his brother.
Yan Zhaoge's attitude was mild as he conversed with those Minor White Peak disciples, gaining a better understanding of the local customs and practices of the Roving Jade Heavens as he also told them about some of his experiences in the World beyond Worlds and extradimensional space, broadening their horizons.
As they walked, a sword-light suddenly lit up before them.
That sword-light stopped before them, the figure of a youth appearing within.
The other party had an ordinary appearance and a square expression. Still, sword-qi emanated from his entire body.
He first bowed, "Before the World beyond Worlds' Fallen Deity, I, Wen Daihong of the lineage of the Roving Jade Heavens' Green Duckweed Mountain's Ingenious Tang Peak's Purple Light Cave, greet you."
Yan Zhaoge cupped his hands calmly, "I wonder what you have for me?"
Wen Daihong's expression was solemn, "I have long heard of the abilities of the Fallen Deity that are rarely seen in this world. You are one of the few outstanding talents of Daoism of post-Great Calamity times, and this Wen is filled with admiration."
"It is just that the matter of your ancestor that year is like a fishbone stuck in my throat. This Wen sincerely hopes to seek some guidance from you."
The matter of that year? What matter of that year?
It was naturally Yan Zhaoge's grandfather, Yan Xintang. Born of the Jade Clear lineage, he had suppressed the Roving Jade Heavens with his sword, beating the sword cultivators of the Prime Clear lineage into submission.
Following the Great Calamity, that had been the most humiliating moment for the Prime Clear direct lineage.
It was not that the Roving Jade Heavens had never experienced more setbacks, losses, and crises of death. Still, having been beaten to the point of being unable to do anything in the domain that they were renowned for, the Prime Clear direct lineage, truly made them feel very vexed.
