It was evident that the Concealed Sovereign already had a plan for his retreat.
That treasured light stirred the space, causing the entire universe to freeze as it blocked the path of the trio.
A treasure light with such an effect was naturally eye-catching.
Yan Zhaoge vaguely guessed it and looked at Astro Sovereign.
From his mother, Xue Chuqing, Yan Zhaoge knew that the New Kunlun Nine Luminaries had studied the Heaven Opening Scripture together and established the World beyond Worlds with the support of the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor and the North Star Emperor.
At that time, he had once borrowed the power of a treasure to completely stabilize the grand world that was the World beyond Worlds.
At that time, although the new Kunlun Nine Luminaries were all dragons and phoenixes among men, they were still at the Perfected Immortal Realm.
It was easy to destroy but hard to build. Even if they read the Heaven Opening Scripture and worked together to establish the World beyond Worlds, it would still not be easy as external help was required.
About that treasure, when Yan Zhaoge was chatting with Mars Halberd, Mars Halberd had accidentally mentioned it, which confirmed its existence.
However, even Mars Halberd didn't know what it was.
The only person who knew about it was probably the person himself. The Sword Sovereign, Yue Zhenbei, might only know that there was such a treasure, but he didn't know about it.
As expected, when Yan Zhaoge looked towards the Astro Sovereign with an inquiring gaze, the Sword Sovereign – Yue Zhenbei also looked towards him.
Astro Sovereign answered calmly, "In those years, we created the World beyond Worlds with the help of the Primordial Heavenly Lord's Triratna Scepter of the Jade Clear Lineage."
"So that's how it is," Yan Zhaoge put his palm to his forehead.
The Three Treasures Jade Scepter was one of the supreme treasures of the Jade Clear lineage's founder, the Lord of Primordial Beginning.
Ever since the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning had transcended, rumor had it that he had been worshiped in his dojo, the Jade Palace.
After the Great Calamity, the former Kunlun Mountain shattered along with the great thousand worlds. The Jade Illusory Palace was nowhere to be seen, and most of the Jade Clear lineage had withered. There was no news of the treasures within the palace either. It was unknown if they had been destroyed or had gone missing.
After hearing about the Triratna Jade Scepter, Yan Zhaoge and Yue Zhenbei's thoughts started drifting.
The Astro Sovereign Chen Xuanzong could understand their feelings.
After all, all of them could be considered to be of the Jade Clear lineage.
When he had first heard the news that year, he had also been unable to remain calm just like the two of them were now.
"I do not know where the scepter came from. It was entrusted to me by the Longevity Emperor and the North Star Emperor back then," said Chen Xuanzong.
"New Kunlun, truly worthy of its name …" Yan Zhaoge first sighed before saying, "Right, the Ten Directional Wishful Formation … Every hundred years or so, when the conflict between the heretics is the most intense, the World beyond Worlds' Ten Exalts would gather at Kunlun Mountain and set up the Ten Directional Wishful Formation, stabilizing the World beyond Worlds' isolation from the heretics."
"As expected, this name isn't just for show."
Yan Zhaoge looked at Chen Xuanzong and asked, "Could the Triratna Jade Scepter be in the World beyond Worlds?"
He was just curious.
Even if the Triratama Jade Scepter was truly buried in the World beyond Worlds, with their current cultivation bases, they would still be unable to retrieve it.
"The one in the World beyond Worlds is a seal. If nothing goes wrong, the Triratna Scepter should be in the hands of the North Star Emperor." Astro Sovereign shook his head.
Yan Zhaoge pulled back the corners of his mouth, "Like that … then what was that situation just now?"
"For so many years, Yang Ce had been secluding himself in Kunlun Mountain most of the time. He was suppressing and stabilizing the seal." Astro Sovereign Chen Xuanzong said, "If the seal is stabilized, it would be able to create a formless barrier around the World beyond Worlds to prevent the heretics from infiltrating."
"Yang Ce understood seals the most. He must've researched some transformation techniques and borrowed the seal's power."
"This was originally for the sake of preparedness. Fortunately, there hasn't been any trouble in all these years."
Chen Xuanzong said quietly, "However, in the future, things might not necessarily be the same."
Yan Zhaoge and Yue Zhenbei both nodded.
It wasn't only Yan Zhaoge and his mother who were the successors of the Dim Radiant Emperor and the Bright Connection Emperor.
The Exalted Fire – Suo Mingzhang had caused a huge mess. The Immortal Court would probably mobilize more forces to take revenge.
The future of the World beyond Worlds was still unknown.
"If that's the case, let's hurry up and return. When Heavenly Monarch Jiang returns, the situation might be reversed," said Yan Zhaoge.
The three immediately returned to the World beyond Worlds.
Jiang Shen and Yang Ce weren't here. Now, Yan Zhaoge could do whatever he wanted in the World beyond Worlds.
Naturally, he had to make full use of his time to prepare.
Man proposes, and God disposes.
The premise of this sentence was that he had to do his best.
…
The Concealed Sovereign – Yang Ce was forced to escape from the World beyond Worlds.
After traversing through the void for a while, his speed gradually slowed down.
The injuries caused by the Astro Sovereign – Chen Xuanzong were extremely deep. If he didn't take care of them soon, they might continue to linger on. In the end, they might injure his foundations, and it would be hard for him to recover.
"Chen Xuanzong really didn't waste his time …" Yang Ce smiled and shook his head. He was recuperating his body.
In such a situation, other than his pale face due to his injuries, Yang Ce didn't show any signs of frustration or nervousness. Instead, he was still at ease.
While he was recuperating his injuries, he took out a yellowish talisman.
After the talisman was burned, it turned into green smoke and disappeared.
Yang Ce wasn't in a hurry. He waited patiently.
After a long time, he took out another yellowish talisman.
On the originally empty talisman, vermillion runes suddenly appeared.
After reading the contents, Yang Ce kept the talisman and continued on his journey.
He was neither too fast nor too slow. While recuperating, he hurried on his journey. He left the Dao universe where the World beyond Worlds was located and arrived at the boundless outskirts of the void.
After traveling for a few more days, Yang Ce stopped in the void after traversing through layers of space. Then, he lit up another talisman.
Next, he sat cross-legged in the void and recuperated his body quietly.
This time, he didn't have to wait for too long.
Very quickly, a figure appeared in front of him.
This figure came without any signs. There was no flowing light, no ripples of energy, and no earth-shattering movements.
However, it was as if he was taking a stroll in the cosmos. He arrived in an instant.
The person who came was an old man. From his appearance, he seemed to be around fifty to sixty years old. However, he didn't look old. His face was serious, and his gaze was kind, as if he was a teacher in a private school.
He was the legendary bigwig with the highest authority in the World beyond Worlds for so many years.
The previous Earthly Sovereign was now the central Earth Virtue Earth Marquis – Dominating Star Lord.
The Exalted Earth Luminary – Jiang Shen.
"Congratulations on attaining the Five Qis Unification and ascending to the Heavenly Monarch Realm, Daoist Brother." When Yang Ce saw him, he bowed and congratulated him.
"Daoist Yang, you don't have to be so courteous." Jiang Shen's tone was gentle as he extended his hand to support Yang Ce.
A warm aura entered Yang Ce's body and instantly cleansed the remaining cold aura within him.
"I've let you down, Daoist Brother," said Yang Ce.
The Exalted Earth Luminary shook his head slowly, "In these troubled times, it's not just a single person's fault."
Yang Ce asked, "How's the matter regarding Daoist Suo?"
The old man shook his head and sighed, "It's a long story."
