"I'm going to Kunlun Mountain to return the Origin Opening Sword." Yan Zhaoge smiled, "The matters of the Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion also have to be taken care of a little. When I see Xiao Ai and mention it to her, she will definitely come straight here without a second word."
Xue Chuqing also smiled slightly, "That child …"
"Right, Mother, do you want to see Junior Sister Sikong?" Yan Zhaoge asked, "Right, there were also a few people who resembled her. I inadvertently found them and brought them all back to Broad Creed Mountain."
Xue Chuqing shook her head lightly. "To be honest, I feel guilty towards them. I am the one who has affected their lives."
Yan Zhaoge suddenly thought of something else as he asked, "Mother, when you scattered the Heavenly Essence Stone fragments, was there no pattern to it at all, or was there a certain pattern?"
"If there is a pattern, is it based on the average number of worlds, or based on the population of each place?"
"Based on the initial reaction, the greater the population of a world, the more such characters will appear." Xue Chuqing was rather taken aback, "Of course I hope that it can be divided equally among the various worlds. Otherwise, the number of Worlds in the World beyond Worlds would probably surpass the sum of all the lower worlds. That would be too conspicuous. Sadly, this is not something that I can decide."
She was keenly aware of something. "In order to avoid being seen through by others and finding them because of me, I have always avoided contact with such people. What do they look like?"
Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di exchanged glances. Yan Di swiped through the air with his palm, a row of images appearing.
Looking at Si Kongqing, He Ying, Yue Baoqi, and the others whose facial features were exactly the same, Xue Chuqing was speechless.
"Her looks are so outstanding …"
Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di both looked like they didn't know whether to laugh or to cry.
"Not only is his appearance outstanding, his talent in martial arts is also superior by a notch. However, he has to refine his qi into aura-qi and reach the Martial Scholar realm before it can be displayed," Yan Di said.
Xue Chuqing had a gloomy look on her face. "... I only realized today that I did something stupid back then."
People like Sikong Qing and the others with outstanding looks and outstanding talent were so numerous, yet they all looked exactly the same. It was hard not to notice them.
Even if many of them were buried, there were too many of them, and they could still be discovered by people with ulterior motives.
If he had an average-looking face, then so be it.
If he were to be thrown into a crowd, he would be the first to be noticed. How could he be hidden?
This was especially so in the World beyond Worlds. Due to the population, there were probably hundreds or even thousands of such people.
"From what you said earlier, it seems that they are not commonly seen in the World beyond Worlds?" Xue Chuqing quickly reacted.
"At least, it's much less than I expected. I've only seen two of them so far." Yan Zhaoge said solemnly, "If it is really as you say, that there are more people in the World beyond Worlds who look like junior apprentice-sister Xiao Sikong than there are many lower worlds combined, this should have long since drawn the attention of others."
From there, it spread to many lower realms, searching for people like Sikong Qing.
It wouldn't have been so calm until now.
"Either my initial judgment was wrong, and it wasn't based on the equal distribution of population, but on the equal distribution of different worlds." Xue Chuqing's expression became extremely serious. "However, the possibility of this happening is very low. I shouldn't have been mistaken back then."
Yan Di pondered for a moment before saying, "Or, someone has long since discovered this and has been secretly searching for these people who resemble junior apprentice-nephew Sikong. Moreover, he has already found many of them, just that he has not made it public."
"This matter is worth paying attention to," Yan Zhaoge smacked his lips.
Yan Di and Xue Chuqing both nodded slightly.
After discussing for a while more, the family of three went their separate ways according to their previous plan.
Yan Zhaoge took his leave of Yan Di and Xue Chuqing, returning to the Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion first.
Due to his battle with the black-clothed Brocade Emperor, the auction of the Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion had been forced to a halt.
Everyone and the local residents of Yuanzhou City had retreated from the city lest they be affected by the battle.
After Yan Zhaoge and the black-clothed Brocade Emperor had left, they did not return to Yuanzhou City as they instead remained where they were and silently observed the situation.
No one knew what the final outcome of the battle would be. They did not know if Yan Zhaoge and Sikong Qing would return to Yuanzhou City as they battled.
Before the dust had completely settled, everyone was prepared to play it safe.
If they were affected by the battle between Immortal experts, they would not even be able to complain if they died.
Still, just the battle before the two sides had left Yuanzhou City had already greatly broadened everyone's horizons.
Yan Zhaoge, a late Immortal Bridge Martial Saint, had actually directly suppressed the black-clothed Brocade Emperor into retreat!
This was something that no one had ever seen before. It was virtually unheard of at all.
Even if Yan Zhaoge had not been victorious in the end, just the scene of him beating the black-clothed Brocade Emperor into constant retreat and leaving Yuanzhou City in defeat was already sufficient to be recorded in the annals of the World beyond Worlds' history, becoming an eternal legend.
Everyone eagerly wished to know what the outcome of this battle would be.
Meanwhile, the detailed or rough news that was continuously transmitted back afterwards refreshed everyone's understanding time and time again.
Not only had Yan Zhaoge surpassed everyone's expectations in advancing from the eighth level of the Martial Saint realm to the ninth level of the Martial Saint realm within a short period of time, Yan Di had even ascended from the ninth level of the Martial Saint realm to the tenth level of the Martial Saint realm, achieving the Human Exalt stage!
There were many obscure acupoints in the human body which were extremely difficult to resonate with the stars. Therefore, it would be increasingly difficult to cultivate as one progressed. Some late Immortal Bridge Martial Saints were just short of refining a few acupoints. However, just these few acupoints were often so close yet worlds apart that it was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
There were as many experts as there were clouds in the World beyond Worlds. While there were not many experts of the ninth level of the Martial Saint realm, there was still a considerable amount of them.
Amongst them were people like the Southeastern Swordsmistress Zhang Yunying, the Star Plucking Practitioner Guan Lide, the Grand Plainness Origin Lady Tao Yu and the Treasured Branch Suppressing Peak Zhang Shuren who were all veteran experts of the ninth level of the Martial Saint realm many years ago.
Yet, they had never managed to take this final step. From this, it could be seen how difficult it was to achieve the Human Exalt stage.
After many years of development and cultivation in the World beyond Worlds, a great number of genius martial practitioners had emerged as they had successfully converted their potential into strength as expected.
Many of them had surpassed their predecessors. While they were younger and of a later generation, they still had hope of attaining the Human Exalt stage.
Yet, all these years, there had only been Nie Jingshen who had truly taken that final step.
Qing Shuzi's death aside, Qilin Cliff's Li Junxin and Ingenious Flying Peak's He Xixing were both still at the ninth level of the Martial Saint realm.
Now, someone else had finally achieved the Human Exalt stage after Nie Jingshen.
This person was none other than Yan Di who had been unknown for over a decade ago, having only recently risen to fame!
Li Junxin, He Xixing and the others had surpassed their predecessors, their momentum surpassing that of Tao Yu and the others.
Yet, Yan Di had walked ahead of them once more!
Broad Creed Mountain which had risen up like a comet had still been rumoured to have no Immortal Bridge Martial Saints a few years ago. Now, however, it had already produced an Human Exalt!
The following news was even more shocking.
"Chief Yan of Broad Creed Mountain having just ascended to the Human Exalt stage, he consecutively defeated two Human Exalts?!" Those who heard the news were all rendered wide-eyed and tongue-tied, "Even with an Immortal Artifact accompanying the Earth Exalt, he was still defeated?"
