After learning that Chen Qianhua had broken through Ingenious Flying Peak's Red Lotus Cliff, Yan Zhaoge immediately took his leave from the Roving Jade Heavens and returned to the World beyond Worlds.
Still, travelling from the Roving Jade Heavens to the World beyond Worlds was not something that could be accomplished in a single step as one would have to traverse numerous layers of space.
The long journey would take up a lot of time.
While Yan Zhaoge was hurrying on his way, it was naturally impossible for the others to just wait for him to return without doing anything.
Many other things happened during this time.
In the World beyond Worlds, Chen Qianhua's attack on the dao arena and cave manor of the Brocade Emperor's lineage had undoubtedly caused great waves.
The influence of this matter might even shake the current structure of the World beyond Worlds' Three Sovereigns Five Emperors and Exalts of Ten Territories.
Under the control of some people, the news did not spread widely, but in the eyes of those who knew about it, it was no small matter.
On the other hand, the Upper Exalt Chen Qianhua had sufficiently proven his strength as well.
Against the pressure of the Myriad Emperor, he had actually still been able to breach the Brocade Emperor's dwelling.
The Encompassing Emperor had used an immortal weapon, but Chen Qianhua actually had an immortal weapon to defend himself.
The eye-catching battle record raised Chen Qianhua's reputation once again.
In the World beyond Worlds, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors had always been superior to the Ten Exalts.
The True Immortal Martial Emperors who pushed open the Immortal Door were fundamentally different from the Martial Sages who remained in the mortal world. They were on two completely different levels of deterrence.
But this time, Chen Qianhua had broken that barrier. As a Human Immortal, he was truly on the same level as a True Immortal Emperor.
In the hearts of many in the know, he was an Emperor in name but not in name. Of the World beyond Worlds' Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, it might be more accurate to say that there were Three Sovereigns and Six Emperors.
If, one day, he also pushed open the Immortal Door and achieved the Leakless Body, the Realm of True Immortals, what kind of strength would he have?
Of course, even then, everyone believed that since Chen Qianhua had destroyed Ingenious Flying Peak, the matter wouldn't end so easily.
As the person concerned, the Brocade Emperor would definitely not let things go just like that.
The Encompassing Emperor, who had lost face in the mediation, might not continue to pester the matter. After all, both sides had relied on their own abilities.
However, the Three Sovereigns would not sit idly by.
While the Earthly Sovereign and the Sword Sovereign were not in the World beyond Worlds and the Concealed Sovereign was in secluded cultivation, as soon as the three bigwigs were free, it was possible that they would get involved in this matter.
Chen Qianhua himself did not care about any of this.
The Three Sovereigns might ask about this matter, but he did not take it to heart.
He did not take the praises and fear of the others to heart.
He didn't feel worried, nor did he feel complacent. He was just a little annoyed because he hadn't achieved his goal.
Fu Ting was not at Red Lotus Cliff.
"So that's how it is. There is a ritual that the Brocade Emperor designed for Red Lotus Fu here which is closely related to her. It is no wonder that I misjudged it. It is the handiwork of a True Immortal after all."
Unable to find Fu Ting, Chen Qianhua left the Red Lotus Cliff.
A faint trace of interest appeared on his lazy face. "This ritual … Oh, it wants to try and eliminate the influence caused by the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord?"
Chen Qianhua seemed to be completely unaware that his previous actions had caused a mighty uproar, and he leisurely returned to his abode in Kunlun Mountain, Qianhua Peak.
"It was not caused by the Brocade Emperor's cultivation deviation this time. Instead, it was something that happened some years ago," He muttered to himself as he walked, his gaze distant as streams of light seemed to flash through it.
"Still, being willing to forsake this ritual and hide from Red Lotus Cliff, you are actually hiding from the Brocade Emperor?" Chen Qianhua chuckled, "The Brocade Emperor's cultivation deviation this time is interesting indeed."
Returning to Qianhua Peak, he saw that the Earthly Young Master Chen Kunhua was still waiting there.
After learning about the details, Chen Kunhua could not help but feel dazed.
This matter could be big or small, but it was not something that he could help to cover up.
Chen Kunhua said nothing about Fu Ting's predicament.
He understood this elder brother of his too well. When he did things, he would not care about the thoughts and feelings of others, even if that person was his own younger brother.
Meanwhile, he had no ability to stop his elder brother.
"Still, it is still not as interesting as that Yan Zhaoge." Chen Qianhua lazily reclined in his armchair, a rare look of excitement appearing on his face, "If I want to find that Red Lotus Fu, it will probably fall on Yan Zhaoge. This really could not be any better. I was just thinking of having some fun with that Yan Zhaoge in the first place."
Chen Kunhua frowned, "Yan Zhaoge?"
"That's right. I have tried to find Red Lotus Fu's whereabouts, but the clues are indistinct and scattered. This means that someone is helping her conceal her karma and fate." Chen Qianhua said matter-of-factly, "In the World beyond Worlds, there are currently only those few who possess sufficient ability and might interfere in this matter."
"The Concealed Sovereign is in seclusion within the valley. Outsiders are not allowed to enter."
"North Guan is busy preventing the land of tranquil stream from entering the World beyond Worlds through the spatial dimensional passageway in the northern snowy plains."
Chen Qianhua smiled, "Therefore, there is only one left now, the Grand Simplicity Splendour Cloud that Yan Zhaoge's father, Yan Di, possesses."
"So, Fu Ting secretly left Red Lotus Cliff and sought Yan Di's help, making use of the Grand Simplicity Splendour Cloud to conceal the search for her?" Chen Kunhua asked, "It was originally meant to guard against the Brocade Emperor. Instead, it has now become a hindrance to you, big brother?"
Chen Qianhua said nonchalantly, "Yes, with the Grand Simplicity Splendour Cloud shrouding him, it would be inconvenient for me to find him."
However, the problem was that there were only a few ways that Chen Qianhua couldn't find his target. In fact, it didn't affect his ability to lock onto his target.
It would be much more troublesome if it was the Brocade Emperor instead.
This had originally been to guard against the Brocade Emperor. Still, now that it was Chen Qianhua who was looking for him, its effectiveness was greatly reduced.
"Yan Di, where are you now?" Chen Qianhua asked Chen Kunhua.
Due to the existence of the Grand Simplicity Splendour Cloud, the effects of the Primordial Heavenly Scripture were limited.
"In the southern Blazing Heaven Territory," Chen Kunhua answered.
Chen Qianhua raised his head and thought for a moment before he suddenly smiled, "The position of the Southern Exalt is still empty, right? What do you think about me becoming the Southern Exalt? "
Hearing this, Chen Kunhua was taken aback.
The death of the Southern Exalt Zhuang Shen had created an empty position for the Exalts of Ten Territories.
In the current World beyond Worlds, there was actually more than just a single ninth level Martial Saint who had hopes of breaking through into the Human Exalt stage.
While no one could say that they were completely confident, they were all filled with confidence.
Still, everyone was at a loss.
Now that there was a shortage of Exalts, an empty position would be left empty.
If someone made a breakthrough now, the position of the Southern Exalt would definitely be filled by the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.
Yan Di was currently leading Broad Creed Mountain in boldly advancing into the southern Blazing Heaven Territory. The position of the Southern Exalt was currently like the mouth of a volcano.
If he didn't have the ability to suppress the Yan father and son, yet still took that position, ruling over two people who were not Exalts but were superior to Exalts, how different would this Southern Exalt be from a puppet?
Also, if he refused to accept it, it would really be too damaging to his family's face.
In truth, in the hearts of many, this position was equivalent to being specially left empty for the Yan father and son pair, the two Exalts who were in name but not in name.
Let alone the newly ascended experts, most of the other nine Exalts of Ten Territories would not be willing to become the Southern Exalt.
Chen Kunhua had heard of a saying before that someone hoped that the Southwestern Exalt Bai Tao could become the Southern Exalt. That way, they would be able to slowly work together.
If one had to name an Exalt who could simultaneously suppress the Yan father and son pair, it would naturally be the Upper Exalt Chen Qianhua who could contend against True Immortals as a human and take on the combined forces of all the other Martial Saints of the World beyond Worlds.
Still, Chen Kunhua did not know whether to laugh or to cry.
The Exalts of Ten Territories were of a higher status than the Eight Territories.
His elder brother was the most deserving Upper Exalt, the number one Martial Saint.
If the Upper Exalt became the Southern Exalt, wouldn't that be equivalent to a demotion?
Still, this elder brother of his really didn't seem to care about this …
In order to make it easier for him to have fun, Chen Qianhua would definitely take the initiative to demote himself to the South.
