(PS: This is the second update after yesterday's update.)
The tall and straight Canghua Tree stood within the Pill Hall's cosmic void. It overturned the cosmos and pierced through the void.
Seeing this Canghua Tree, Xue Chuqing slowly bowed down, "Disciple Xue Chuqing greets Great Grand Master."
Yan Zhaoge looked at the tall spirit tree and bowed down as well.
The Exalted Wood Luminary – Shao Junhuang was the same as the Exalted Gold Luminary – Yan Xintang and his wife. With their cultivation and lifespan, they could be considered to have died young when they died.
It was also because of the sacrifice of countless ancestors like them that there was hope for the revival of the Three Clear Lineage.
As the later generations, they were all the beneficiaries.
The tall Canghua Tree's leaves swayed in the hall's cosmos without any wind blowing.
Suo Mingzhang looked at the spirit tree and remained silent for a long time.
After Yan Zhaoge and Xue Chuqing stood up, they also remained silent.
The Astro Sovereign – Chen Xuanzong cupped his hands towards the spirit tree and let out a soft sigh.
"I heard that Yan Xintang and Di Qinglian had created a brand new supreme martial art, and it was inherited by your father?"
After a long time, Suo Mingzhang broke the silence and turned around to look at Yan Zhaoge.
Yan Zhaoge knew that Mars Halberd must have told Suo Mingzhang about it. However, Mars Halberd obviously didn't know about the details. He answered, "To be precise, my father and my mother didn't complete this supreme martial art. They grew up together with my father. After being nurtured by the Grand Simplicity Splendour Cloud for more than two thousand years, they completed the initial framework and appeared in the world together."
"After that, as my father practiced martial arts, his cultivation realm kept on increasing, and he studied the laws of heaven and earth, the power of this supreme martial art had already matured from its initial form."
"However, there's still a long way to go before it can be truly perfected. I'll progress together with my father."
Yan Zhaoge didn't hide anything from Suo Mingzhang and told him everything.
"The Heaven Opening Scripture and the Immortal Exterminating Sword Scripture's head and tail resonated with each other. After being harmonized by Grand Simplicity, boundless changes were born between the head and tail. It's just like the changes of creation. Its momentum is unstoppable." Suo Mingzhang nodded slightly, "It seems like it's the opposite of mine …"
"Fellow Daoists Yan Xintang and Di Qinglian, your dreams have come true. Congratulations."
"It's a pity that I can't discuss it with them personally." He let out a soft sigh. "Where is your father now? Can I take a look at this lost art?"
It was a little disrespectful to say such words.
Even if Suo Mingzhang's cultivation and seniority far surpassed Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di, and even surpassed Yan Xintang and Yan Di in the past, such a request was still extremely rude.
However, Suo Mingzhang did not look arrogant at all. Instead, he looked quite serious.
"When your ancestor first came up with this idea, he discussed it with me. Some of his ideas might be beneficial to your father."
Of the New Kunlun Nine Luminaries, Suo Mingzhang's relationship with Yan Xintang was mediocre and they could not be considered close friends.
However, both of them were peerless geniuses. Suo Mingzhang was especially fond of studying the principles of martial arts, and had many exchanges with Yan Xintang.
Among the Nine Luminaries, other than their best friend Chen Xuanzong, only Suo Mingzhang knew about Yan Xintang and his wife's initial concept of the Creation Saber.
Although he hadn't seen Yan Di fight with others with his own eyes, he could roughly guess what had happened after hearing some rumors from Mars Halberd and confirming it with what he knew in the past.
Now that the Creation Saber had become a reality, Suo Mingzhang felt happy.
Unfortunately, the old friend who proposed the concept had already died a thousand years ago.
On the other side, the Astro Sovereign – Chen Xuanzong stood there calmly without saying a word. However, he seemed to be daydreaming as well.
Among the New Kunlun Nine Luminaries, the two of them were eccentric.
Suo Mingzhang only interacted with the Exalted Wood Luminary – Shao Junhuang in private. Most of his interactions with others were limited to martial arts.
As for Chen Xuanzong's close friend in the Nine Luminaries, it was the Exalted Gold Luminary – Yan Xintang.
After Chen Xuanzong came back to his senses, he looked at Suo Mingzhang and nodded, "In the past, Daoist Suo had opened his own path of cultivation and had gone deeper than us in this aspect. It was similar to Xintang and his wife's exploration. Xintang had also looked for Daoist Suo to discuss with him."
For example, Yan Xintang's Jade Illusory Heaven Opening Sword, Chen Xuanzong's Profound Cold Saber, Jiang Shen's Yin Yang Earth Heaven Breaking Hammer, Yang Ce's Ketu Dim Encompassing Mantra and other martial arts were created by combining various supreme martial arts that they had cultivated.
The Jade Illusory Heaven Opening Sword contained the wind of opening the heavens, the Profound Cold Saber contained the water of opening the heavens, the Yin Yang Earth Heaven Breaking Hammer contained the earth of opening the heavens, and the Ketu Dim Encompassing Mantra contained the primordial darkness before the heavens were opened. Although they seemed to be walking in a single direction, other martial arts had already been integrated into them. They were no longer just derived from the Jade Clear Heaven Opening Scripture.
Therefore, all the martial arts had their own uses. They weren't inferior to martial artists who cultivated the Heaven Opening Scripture alone.
Of course, this was referring to their current realm.
If they continued to advance, they still needed to expand their path and explore. They couldn't stop.
Unlike the Heaven Opening Scripture, the Primordial Heavenly Lord's Grand Dao was extremely profound. It only depended on how much the cultivator could comprehend.
Of course, Chen Xuanzong and the others could only cultivate the Heaven Opening Scripture.
However, when one cultivated martial arts to a certain level, they would be able to comprehend the principles of the heavens and earth. If different people learned the same supreme martial art, the results would be vastly different.
Only by learning from the predecessors and fitting in with oneself would one be able to walk on the path smoothly.
However, the height one could reach on this path would also differ from person to person.
Some people's path could continue to climb upwards, while others might have difficulties.
Before the Great Calamity, the flourishing era of martial arts where hundreds of schools of thought contended for supremacy, and countless exquisite martial arts appeared together.
Of course, Yan Zhaoge was clear about this. However, what the Astro Sovereign said made him realize something different.
Although Chen Xuanzong and the others' unique supreme martial arts, including Yan Xintang's Jade Illusory Heaven Opening Sword, weren't derived from the Heaven Opening Scripture and didn't belong to the Heaven Opening Scripture, some of the subtle changes in the concepts were even more profound than the Heaven Opening Scripture itself.
However, these supreme martial arts were still deeply related to the Heaven Opening Scripture and the other martial arts that Chen Xuanzong and the others cultivated.
However, there was an exception.
That was the Creation Saber that Yan Xintang and Di Qinglian had created together. In the end, Yan Di had completed the embryonic form of the Creation Saber!
The concept of this martial art was actually different from the Heaven Opening Scripture. In fact, it wasn't even defined by the Jade Clear lineage's martial arts.
Naturally, it didn't belong to the Prime Clear supreme martial arts either.
It could be said that it was still an orthodox Daoism, but it was different.
According to the Astro Sovereign's words, Suo Mingzhang's martial arts cultivation seemed to be starting from scratch too.
"Thank you for your kindness, Senior Suo. However, I still need to ask my father's opinion." Yan Zhaoge cupped his hands. With a thought, the cosmos void that everyone was in changed.
After that, a door of light appeared in front of everyone. After the door of light opened, there was another world inside.
This was a pill room within the Pill Hall. Yan Di was currently in seclusion.
He wasn't in seclusion, so Yan Zhaoge wasn't afraid of disturbing his father.
After knowing Suo Mingzhang's intention, Yan Di didn't reject him, "Thank you, Senior Suo."
Not to mention Suo Mingzhang's kindness, the Creation Saber's characteristics couldn't be taught to outsiders. Even someone like Suo Mingzhang could only experience it, and couldn't comprehend it.
To a certain extent, this was also one of the limitations of the Creation Saber.
In other words, this was the proof that this peerless supreme martial art wasn't completed yet.
After Yan Di unleashed his saber, Suo Mingzhang smiled, "Yan Xintang and Di Qinglian's descendants aren't in vain."
