Due to the interference of the Exalted Fire – Suo Mingzhang and the White Deer Demon, the Roving Jade Heavens would be like trying to fish chestnuts out of the fire.
The Lofty Sovereign – Zhang Buxu had some hope. It was also a coincidence. He hoped to take advantage of Yan Zhaoge and the others. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to subdue the Pill Hall's hall spirit.
Without Yan Zhaoge's sudden appearance, the final victor would still be decided between Suo Mingzhang, the White Deer Demon, and the Pill Hall's hall spirit.
As long as the Immortal Court's people didn't chase after them within a short period of time, the final victor would most likely be Suo Mingzhang.
Long Xueji was quite competitive when it came to fighting against others, especially against those with outstanding swordsmanship.
However, when it came to other matters, such as treasures and opportunities, he was very open-minded.
"If that's the case, thank you, senior apprentice-uncle Long." Yan Zhaoge cupped his hands towards Long Xueji.
Under his control, the Pill Hall floated by the void's outskirts, trying to find a path to return to the dao universe.
While walking, everyone was chatting. Yan Zhaoge, Nie Jingshen, and the others also told the Sword Sovereign – Yue Zhenbei about everything that had happened in the World beyond Worlds.
Although they had contacted each other before, the information they exchanged was still relatively simple. How could it be compared to their current face-to-face conversation?
Yan Zhaoge and the others had also gained a lot from Yue Zhenbei.
The most important one was naturally the Exalted Earth Luminary – Jiang Shen achieving the Five Qis Unification realm, successfully passing through the Profound Origin Tribulation, and becoming a Grand Virtual Immortal – the Heavenly Monarch.
Relatively speaking, the better news was that the Exalted Fire – Suo Mingzhang had wreaked havoc in the Immortal Court, causing the Immortal Court's experts to be enraged. They started to hunt him down.
However, as a result, the Immortal Court's old enemy, the Blessed Lands of Buddhism, naturally noticed the changes in the Immortal Court's universe.
When they were still in the Original Nebula, some bigwigs from the Blessed Lands went to investigate.
After confirming that the Immortal Court didn't purposely set up a perilous zone, the Blessed Lands of Buddhism naturally wouldn't let go of this chance.
The conflict between Buddhism and Daoism that had gradually calmed down started to erupt again recently.
If the Immortal Court could deal with Suo Mingzhang in a short period of time, they could adjust their forces and deal with the threat from the Blessed Lands.
Although he was forced to fight, he didn't lose his sense of propriety.
"However, they didn't manage to do anything to the Exalted Fire. Instead, they were even killed by the Exalted Fire and escaped the encirclement." Yan Zhaoge stroked his lower chin, "This is very awkward."
Therefore, the attack of the Blessed Land of Buddhism could turn into a prairie fire and sweep across the Immortal Court at any time.
"However, the actions of the heretics didn't become more intense as expected." The Sword Emperor said calmly, "There must be a deeper reason behind this."
It would definitely not be the Immortal Court compromising with the Pure Land.
Even if they temporarily tolerated Suo Mingzhang, it was impossible for the Immortal Court to give in to the Pure Land.
As such, the reason why the Pure Land didn't take advantage of the situation was worth pondering.
"The Immortal Court heretics have helpers or allies?" Yan Di frowned, "The Demon Race?"
Everyone pondered. "It's not impossible."
The Demon Race had been silent for a long time, and now it seemed to be a fact without a doubt.
The only thing to worry about was what they wanted to do and what they were planning in secret.
Were they allies of the Immortal Court, or did they have other plans?
Yan Zhaoge kept pondering, and many thoughts flashed through his mind. He felt that the situation before him was getting more and more unpredictable.
Long Xueji brought Yu Ye and greeted Yue Zhenbei, "Senior apprentice-brother Yue."
"Senior apprentice-uncle Yue." Yu Ye didn't get distracted this time. Instead, she curiously looked at Yue Zhenbei.
Previously, when the Sword Emperor fought against the Lofty Sovereign, and the Jade Clear Heaven Opening Sword fought against the Prime Clear World Extinguishing Sword, the boundless profundities within were a feast for her eyes.
The Sword Emperor – Yue Zhenbei had a deep grudge against the Prime Clear lineage martial art practitioners.
However, he was still rather friendly towards the Dragon Spring Emperor's descendant, "You're welcome. I'm happy that senior apprentice-uncle Long has a successor."
"How is senior apprentice-uncle doing?"
Long Xueji answered, "Before we left the Roving Jade Heavens, father was still in seclusion."
"Senior Profound Sovereign, Gao, is still in seclusion?" asked Yue Zhenbei.
"That's right." Long Xueji nodded.
Yue Zhenbei said, "Li Ziteng is most likely in seclusion as well, right? Zhang Buxu had already left the Roving Jade Heavens for many years. Did only the two of you come from the Roving Jade Heavens this time? "
Hearing his words, Yu Ye blinked her eyes.
The so-called Li Ziteng was the master of the Profound Sovereign, Lofty Sovereign, and the others, the old grandmaster of the Roving Jade Heavens, the Vine Sovereign.
Her surname was Li, and her title was Practitioner Ziteng.
However, the title of Li Ziteng was only used by those who were on the same level as her.
Yue Zhenbei was also a Profound Immortal Sovereign, so it wasn't a problem for him to address her as such. However, there was a huge gap between their ages. With Yue Zhenbei's upright personality, it was rare for him to be so impolite.
However, his expression was calm, and his tone was natural, without any abnormalities.
Just from this alone, one could tell how bad their relationship was.
After Yue Zhenbei's master, the Exalted Gold Luminary – Yan Xintang perished, the Vine Sovereign belittled Yan Xintang due to Di Qinglian's death. She also hated the Jade Capital Crag's lineage.
As such, not only did the Vine Sovereign hate Yue Zhenbei, but Yue Zhenbei also disliked the Vine Sovereign.
"Other than us, Daoist Cloud Conquest and his disciple Nine Heavens He are here as well." Long Xueji wasn't surprised by this and answered calmly.
"Daoist Cloud Conquest is here as well?" Yue Zhenbei nodded and said, "However, if he wasn't confident of taking control of the entire Pill Hall, he wouldn't have revealed his sword for today's matter."
Hearing the word "revealed", Yan Zhaoge's eyes lit up, "As expected, the Cloud Emperor is nurturing his sword?"
"You fought with him?" Long Xueji looked at Yan Zhaoge with a surprised expression.
"The Cloud Emperor didn't use the Clear Accomplishment Sword. We only exchanged a few moves," said Yan Zhaoge with a smile.
Although he didn't mention the outcome, everyone knew that Yan Zhaoge didn't suffer any losses from his relaxed expression. In fact, he might even have the upper hand.
Although the Cloud Conquest Emperor was nurturing his sword, his strength was extremely strong. Among the True Immortals, no one was his match.
Nurturing his sword wasn't about preserving his strength.
This was a secret ancient art of the Prime Clear lineage. When a sword cultivator had the ability to break through, he would intentionally suppress and nurture his sword intent and heart qi.
Once he revealed his sword intent, his cultivation would immediately increase by another level.
At the same time, with a deeper accumulation, it would be beneficial for him to rush towards a higher realm.
At the moment when he just broke through, his long-suppressed intent would explode. His first sword would be the strongest under the heavens.
However, it wouldn't affect the martial art cultivator's full strength before breaking through.
That was why Yan Zhaoge's victory over the Cloud Conquest Emperor still caught the attention of Yue Zhenbei and the others.
The Sheathe Edge and Nurturing Sword were extremely difficult to cultivate. If one wasn't careful, one might become crippled. They would be stuck in their current realm for the rest of their lives, and wouldn't be able to progress any further.
Since ancient times, the Prime Clear lineage's experts who cultivated this art were extremely rare.
"However, the Cloud Emperor isn't the only one cultivating this art in the Roving Jade Heavens." Yan Zhaoge asked with interest, "Are senior apprentice-uncle Long and senior apprentice-uncle Gao also cultivating this art?"
