Just like on the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory's Royal Reed Sea back then, Broad Creed Mountain was also on the sea at this moment, resembling both an island and a mountain.
Looking from afar, it was shrouded in multicolored light, and white smoke was rising.
Yan Zhaoge traversed the sea and arrived before the clan. He first raised his head and gazed upwards.
Within the sky, numerous streaks of light were indistinctly visible, blanketing the sky above Broad Creed Mountain as they extended into the surrounding horizon.
That was precisely Broad Creed Mountain's Grand Formation. Currently, it had not activated its full power, so ordinary people would not be able to see anything abnormal about it.
However, when an enemy came to attack, the formation would come into play and cause the enemy to bleed.
If someone tried to sneak in while the formation was not operating at full power, the Mountain Guarding Formation would be triggered and teach them a lesson.
Of course, if the enemy's strength was too great, that would be a different matter altogether. However, if it really was someone who could ignore Broad Creed Mountain's guardian grand formation, that person would naturally not be an ordinary enemy.
It was just that there were only so few people in the current World beyond Worlds who possessed such domineering strength.
With Yan Di personally guarding over the clan, he would naturally make a move to deal with them when the time came.
"Oh, there are some changes," Yan Zhaoge raised his head and looked for a moment, looking thoughtful, "It should be mother's doing."
When Broad Creed Mountain had first established itself in the World beyond Worlds and re-established itself in the Royal Reed Sea, Yan Zhaoge had already modified its guardian grand formation.
Under the environmental conditions at that time, it could be said to be close to perfection.
Even an expert who had already pushed open the Immortal Door would be limited by the local conditions and couldn't do better than Yan Zhaoge.
After coming to the Eastern Vast Heaven Territory and rebuilding the cave manor, the grand formation that Yan Zhaoge had modified back then was naturally moved over.
With Yan Zhaoge's discernment ability, he very quickly saw that the grand formation had been upgraded once more on the basis of adapting to the local conditions.
This was related to the fact that the current conditions of this place were better than in the Spirit Inheritance Region of the Royal Reed Sea.
However, to be able to make further improvements on the basis of Yan Zhaoge's improvements would undoubtedly require extremely high attainments in formations.
Of the current Martial Saints of the World beyond Worlds including the Exalts, besides the Upper Exalt Chen Qianhua whose cultivation was hard to fathom, Yan Zhaoge could only think of his mother, Xue Chuqing, who possessed a similar level of attainment in formations to him.
One could see this just by looking at Xiao Ai's outstanding skills in this area.
While Xue Chuqing's current cultivation base had already been surpassed by Yan Zhaoge's, she was one of the rare few whose attainments in formations were comparable to his at the same cultivation level.
The relocation of Broad Creed Mountain and the reconstruction of its guardian grand formation had naturally been a result of Xue Chuqing's efforts.
"Young Master, you've returned," Ah Hu, who had long since received the news that Yan Zhaoge was returning, now came out to welcome him.
Yan Zhaoge smiled upon seeing her, "I did not see Xiao Ai in the Heavenly Mysteries Pavilion. Did she sneak back here?"
Ah Hu gave a silly smile. "Madam is finally back. It's inevitable that Xiao 'ai will return to the mountain more frequently. Madam has scolded her, but the Patriarch said that the matters of the Tianji Pavilion have not been delayed. It's fine if she wants to come back and visit Madam more often."
"This girl …" Yan Zhaoge could not help but laugh as he shook his head.
When he saw his parents, he saw that Xiao 'ai was trying to sneak away.
"Xiao Ai," Yan Zhaoge called out slowly.
"… Yes!" Xiao Ai stood at attention with a whoosh and turned around. She smiled so widely that only her eyebrows could be seen. "Young Master, I haven't seen you for a while. You look even more elegant than before."
"Top A! Definitely top A!"
Yan Zhaoge and Xue Chuqing both looked at her with an amused and amused expression on their faces.
Xiao Ai's eyeballs kept darting around. She just dared not to look at Yan Zhaoge in the eyes.
"I didn't say that I would blame you." Yan Zhaoge did not know whether to laugh or cry. He said, "Why are you feeling guilty?"
Xiao Ai smiled embarrassedly. Yan Zhaoge looked her up and down, "Instead, you're getting more and more lazy. Why do you have to learn from Pan-Pan?"
Pan-Pan, who was in Xue Chuqing's arms, turned around and blinked innocently.
After chatting for a while, Yan Di said seriously, "I have already met the Astro Sovereign and talked a lot about the current World beyond Worlds."
"Now, I'm going to set off again." Yan Zhaoge nodded, "According to the Astro Sovereign's instructions, I'm going to look for the Exalted Fire and … the Exalted Wood."
He looked at Xue Chuqing. Xue Chuqing nodded with a calm expression, "My Great Grand Master was seriously injured and went into seclusion. Granny Grand Master also knows about this. But she has been missing ever since."
"If my Great Grand Master is still alive, it'll be a great fortune. If not … it's also fate."
Yan Zhaoge said, "Don't be too pessimistic. After all, it's still uncertain. I think we should try to find the Exalted Fire first. If what the Astro Sovereign said is true, the Exalted Fire has been looking for the Exalted Wood all these years. He might have more clues."
"Now that we have the clues provided by the Astro Sovereign, let's act according to it." Xue Chuqing nodded, "I'll leave the Area Latitude Formation aside for now."
"Has the Astro Sovereign seen Jun 'er and sister-in-law Yuzhen?" Yan Zhaoge asked again.
Yan Di let out a breath slowly, "According to the Astro Sovereign, they are two devils with extremely high cultivation. After being killed, they were reborn. They want to use Jun 'er and his mother as their bodies to seek a chance of resurrection."
"Now, we can't completely cut off their hope. It's not the right time to cut off their roots."
After a pause, Yan Di said slowly, "Great destruction is also the time of great establishment. The most dangerous time is the time when we have the biggest chance."
"Just as I expected …" Yan Zhaoge raised his head slightly and murmured.
Xue Chuqing sighed softly.
She had never met Shi Jun and his mother before.
However, Shi Tie and Shi Songtao were acquainted with each other.
Especially Shi Songtao, who was just a teenager at that time, had attended the wedding banquet of her and Yan Di and acted as the usher.
"I'll go to see Jun 'er and his mother later." Yan Zhaoge came back to reality and changed the topic. He talked about what he had seen and heard in the Restful Immortal Valley.
Hearing that, Yan Di and Xue Chuqing looked at each other and felt it was unbelievable.
"I've known that the Concealed Sovereign is not simple. But now it seems that he is even more surprising than I expected." Xue Chuqing came back to reality and said with a bitter smile.
Yan Di frowned, "It's hard not to suspect that he is the one behind many things."
"Exactly." Yan Zhaoge shrugged his shoulders.
Xue Chuqing thought for a while and reminded, "Maybe he is trying to drive a wedge between us. But we need to reconsider the position of the Brocade Emperor."
"No matter the one in black or the one in white."
Compared to the Brocade Emperor in black, the Brocade Emperor in white seemed to be swayed by his emotions.
However, if what the Concealed Sovereign said was true, he had the method to help the Brocade Emperor in white who had turned to the sentimental path to advance to the Profound Immortal realm.
There was no doubt about the value of this method.
If the Brocade Emperor in white owed the Concealed Sovereign a favor, the worst possibility was that he would not help either side.
"We still need to work hard to improve ourselves. That's the most important thing." Yan Di said calmly.
Yan Zhaoge nodded, "So, there's a bad news and a good news."
