Chen Qianhua's strength had always been outstanding. After obtaining the Heaven Opening Scripture, he had obtained all ten Primordial Heavenly Scriptures except for the Peerless Heavenly Scripture. His strength immediately increased once again.
Long Xueji, who was equally as famous as him and had even pushed open the Gate of Immortality earlier than him, had found it difficult to fight against him just now.
The Prime Clear swordsmanship was a clear counter to the Primordial Later Heaven Six Scriptures. In front of the Numinous Treasure Four Swords, the defensive power of the foundation of the world that was powerful compared to other supreme martial arts was like paper. In fact, it might not even be as effective as a single Xiantian supreme martial art like the Grand Beginning Bright Emptiness Form.
Chen Qianhua did not intend to defend himself. Instead, he merged the [Earlier Heaven Scriptures] into one, manifesting the boundless power of splitting the heavens as he fought Long Xueji's attacks head-on.
He had just recently cultivated the Heaven Opening Scripture, and there were still some unsatisfactory areas. He was no match for Long Xueji's thoroughly tempered Prime Clear sword arts.
However, with the assistance of the Origin Heavenly Scripture, Long Xueji would not be able to gain any advantage.
The Immortal Exterminating Sword that could destroy all arts was similar to the Taiqing Taiyi Fist. It could dispel the Origin Heavenly Scripture's prying to a certain extent, but it could not completely block it.
Thus, Long Xueji often had the feeling that his movements were within the opponent's expectations.
Fortunately, the Four Swords of Numinous Treasure were extremely fierce and unstoppable. Most of the time, Chen Qianhua could only evade them in advance when he saw them, but he couldn't forcefully resolve them.
But even so, Long Xueji faintly felt that his hands and feet were tied, and he was unable to display his full strength in this battle.
"Could it be that Chen Qianhua was groomed by the Concealed Sovereign in the first place?" Long Xueji asked Yan Zhaoge and the others.
After Yan Zhaoge and Yue Zhenbei looked at each other, he answered, "We can't be sure yet. However, the two of them should have some sort of relationship. The Concealed Sovereign should be paying more attention to Chen Qianhua. If that's the case, he would be able to pass the Heaven Opening Scripture to Chen Qianhua when he needs it, even if he's still in seclusion within the Restful Immortal Valley."
"If the Concealed Sovereign also cultivates the Origin Heavenly Scripture, then we have no choice but to guard against him." Long Xueji nodded.
The Concealed Sovereign – Yang Ce's cultivation realm was currently higher than Chen Qianhua's. Naturally, he would be able to see more things through the Primordial Heavenly Scripture.
However, if the Concealed Sovereign really cultivated the Origin Heavenly Scripture, then he would definitely clash with Chen Qianhua in the future.
The Origin Heavenly Scripture could be cultivated by many people, but in the end, only one person could cultivate it to the Great Accomplishment level. Whoever succeeded first would block the path of the others.
However, that was something that would happen much later.
After discussing for a while, Yan Di, Nie Jingshen, and Yu Ye sat in a lotus position within the hall. They breathed in and out quietly, refining the pill qi essences they had previously consumed.
Yan Zhaoge was still exploring the inside and outside of the Pill Hall to strengthen his control over it.
Yan Zhaoge had already sent a message to the Exalted Fire – Suo Mingzhang.
Suo Mingzhang did not come to meet them, but he sent a reply.
Previously, the people of the Immortal Court had arrived a step later. However, they had still reached the outskirts where the Pill Hall was previously located. In the end, they bumped into Suo Mingzhang again.
Suo Mingzhang led the other party away and expressed that there was no need for Yan Zhaoge and the others to wait for him. He would make a trip to the World beyond Worlds later on.
After returning to the Dao universe from the void's outskirts, Long Xueji bid farewell to Yu Ye and returned to the Roving Jade Heavens.
Yan Zhaoge's group returned to the World beyond Worlds.
…
In the vast Nine Underworlds, the black demonic aura spread everywhere, and there were traces of mournful red lights constantly flashing.
The vastness of the Nine Underworlds seemed to be boundless.
As they went deeper and deeper, they passed through layers of space and arrived at its core.
Within the scorched lands of the Devilish Domain, an ocean suddenly appeared. The seawater was pitch-black, and was as smooth as a mirror. No waves could be seen, as if it was a solidified land.
This Devilish Sea was so vast that it couldn't be measured using ordinary distances. It seemed like it could contain an infinite amount of heaven and earth.
Even worlds like the World beyond Worlds and the Roving Jade Heavens could be directly stored inside. They were more than enough.
Here, it was peaceful and quiet. It wasn't like the Devilish qi that was rampaging everywhere, and it was vicious and evil.
However, there seemed to be a deeper level of terror contained within. Countless top-notch Great Devils of the Nine Underworlds didn't dare to approach it recklessly.
Beneath the calm black sea's surface, space folded and fluctuated, making it hard to determine its depth.
In this place, there wasn't any distinction of up, down, left, or right.
However, if one went "downwards", there would be layers and layers of profound worlds.
Just like the illusory Thirty-Three Heavens, or the Nine Levels of the Heavenly Imperial Court.
However, compared to the "up" there, this place was constantly "downwards". The deeper one went, the more profound and ancient it would be, and it would captivate one's soul.
Within this Devilish Sea, there was a space that was completely empty. There was only an ancient tree standing there.
This ancient tree seemed to have died a long time ago. The crown of the tree was bald, and all the leaves had fallen off. Only oddly-shaped branches were left.
However, under the ancient tree, there was a huge shade.
From the shadow of this ancient tree, there was actually a strange vitality, as if there were countless lives that were active within it.
There seemed to be no concept of time within the Devilish Sea.
The shadow under the ancient tree suddenly moved and disappeared from the ground.
Only the shadowless, withered old tree was left standing at the same place.
When the shadow appeared again, it had already arrived at another space within the Devilish Sea.
This space was completely different from the Devilish Sea and the entire Nine Underworlds.
This place was like the human world. There wasn't a single trace related to devils.
One world after another was densely packed like the stars in the sky. In each world, there were countless living beings living and thriving.
The shadow wasn't surprised at all, and it entered one of the worlds.
In the continuous mountain range, the grass was long, and the birds were flying. The spring sunlight was bright, and it made people feel like they had returned to the human world.
On the waist of an inconspicuous mountain, there was a stream flowing in the mountain. There was a huge rock beside the stream, and the moss was green.
An old man was lying on the rock, and he was dozing off.
When the shadow appeared in front of him, the old man opened his eyes and stretched his body lazily, "Did you find her?"
The shadow landed on the ground, and merged with the shadow of the huge rock that the old man was lying on. A voice resounded from the shadow, "I'm too late. She escaped."
"We've always been the ones mixing sand into the human world. This time, someone is mixing sand into our world. It's rare." The old man smiled.
A voice resounded from the shadow, "We'll catch her. She hasn't matured yet."
"Something happened to her. If you want to find her, you might as well go to the World beyond Worlds of the Three Clear Lineage. She should be thinking about returning there." The old man said, "It's not peaceful there now. The situation is chaotic, and everyone is attacking each other. It's inevitable that they will neglect their guard against us."
The shadow said, "That's what I'm thinking. Other than her, there are a few other things that I need to do together."
"It's good to do one thing at a time. Even if you can't do it, don't be impatient. There's still a long way to go, and we shouldn't waste time." The old man laid on the huge rock again, "If you stay there for too long, you might be targeted."
"Of course." After saying that, the shadow shook slightly, and disappeared from this world.
The old man closed his eyes and continued to rest.
… …
After a long period of wandering, Yan Zhaoge drove the Pill Hall back to the World beyond Worlds.
The Pill Hall was left by Yan Zhaoge in the cosmic void outside of the World beyond Worlds.
Yan Di and Nie Jingshen were currently cultivating in seclusion within the Pill Hall.
Yan Zhaoge and the Sword Sovereign – Yue Zhenbei returned to the World beyond Worlds together. Mobile users, please browse M. Reading for a better reading experience.
