Currently, if the experts of the dao universe wanted to fight against the Exalted Lunar Luminary, who wielded the Holy Radiance Banner, there was only one possibility. The Roving Jade Heavens' Profound Sovereign, Gao Qingxuan, had ascended to the Grand Virtual Immortal Realm with her Five Qis Unification.
Her talents were extraordinary, and she was blessed by many. Her strength was already one of the top martial art practitioners in the same cultivation realm. In the past, when her cultivation was still weak, she had refined a miraculous clone.
That clone's cultivation had increased at the same pace as the Profound Sovereign. They had pushed open the Immortal Door together, passed through the Pure Profound Tribulation together, and achieved the Tranquil Profound Immortal Realm with the Duo Qis Fused Aura.
If the Profound Sovereign could successfully pass through the Profound Origin Tribulation, the Profound Sovereign's clone would be able to easily pass through such a hurdle as if it was a flat land.
By then, even without a Grand Virtual level Immortal Artifact, Gao Qingxuan would be able to fight against Ling Qing.
For Yan Zhaoge's side, they didn't have to defeat the Exalted Lunar Luminary. As long as someone could distract her, he would be able to resolve Gao Han's arrangements and regain control of the situation.
Unfortunately, both the Sword Sovereign and the Astro Sovereign were against the Roving Jade Heavens interfering in today's matter. Even if they contacted the Roving Jade Heavens to assist them, it would be futile.
Before this battle, Yan Zhaoge had specifically communicated with Gao Xuebo and Long Xueji.
The Profound Sovereign's seclusion this time wasn't enough to help her break through her bottleneck and pass through the Profound Origin Tribulation.
If her accumulation wasn't sufficient, she might perish under the tribulation if she forcefully tried.
That was the principle of a martial art practitioner responding to the heavens and earth. The tribulation would be triggered by cultivating one's body internally and the heavens externally. There was no luck involved in passing the tribulation. If one wasn't careful, they would perish.
It was already difficult for a sword cultivator to increase their cultivation realm. Even someone as outstanding as the Profound Sovereign, Gao Qingxuan, was no exception.
In the past, the Roving Jade Seven were born after the Great Calamity. Their accumulation of time was still rather weak. If there wasn't any special reason or great fortune, they would have to accumulate their strength bit by bit. They couldn't save time.
Someone like Suo Mingzhang was a special case amongst special cases. He didn't have any value to others.
Only, no one in the dao universe could withstand the Exalted Lunar Luminary – Ling Qing.
"Daoist Jiang, it's been a while." Ling Qing's calm and cold gaze shifted from Jiang Shen to Yue Zhenbei and the Pill Hall, "Daoist Yan, congratulations on having a successor."
Looking at the Pill Hall, her gaze paused for a moment.
The Exalted Lunar Luminary seemed to be in a daze for a moment. However, she quickly regained her focus.
"Awakened Sky Hall, Awakened Sky Hall … Sigh, Awakened Sky Hall." Ling Qing sighed inwardly, "It's still the same as before. Unfortunately, things remain the same, but people have changed. The palace is still the same, but the people are different …"
Yan Zhaoge's gaze was currently focused.
Strictly speaking, among the New Kunlun Nine Luminaries, the Exalted Solar Luminary – Gao Han and the Exalted Lunar Luminary – Ling Qing were the first ones Yan Zhaoge came into contact with.
Between the Exalted Solar Luminary – Gao Han and the Exalted Earth Luminary – Jiang Shen, Yan Zhaoge was more wary of Gao Han.
From the looks of it, his previous worries were not unfounded.
Yan Zhaoge was also surprised by Gao Han's actions. He didn't expect the Exalted Solar Luminary – Gao Han and the Exalted Concealed Luminary – Yang Ce to be the same person.
Right now, the main problem he had to deal with was still the Exalted Lunar Luminary – Ling Qing.
Yan Zhaoge had a feeling when he recalled the traces she left behind in the Eight Extremities World. Her understanding of his clan might be much deeper than he expected.
In the past, the Exalted Solar Luminary – Gao Han hid in the Eight Extremities World and disguised himself as the Exalted Solar Luminary. Was it really just to mislead others and conceal his whereabouts?
"Daoist Ling, it's been a long time." The Exalted Earth Luminary – Jiang Shen looked at Ling Qing and said slowly.
This World beyond Worlds' Earthly Sovereign looked to be in his fifties or sixties. However, he never showed any signs of aging.
Now, an unsuppressable look of exhaustion appeared on his face.
At this moment, Jiang Shen really seemed to have the appearance of a fifty or sixty year old man in the secular world who was in his twilight years.
However, his back was still as straight as an unwavering mountain.
"I don't find it strange that Gao Han would be thinking about the mark beneath the Kunlun Mountain." Jiang Shen said slowly, "Now that I think about it, his clone, which had transformed into Yang Ce, had been staying in seclusion for so many years. He had been guarding the mark and analyzing it. He must have been preparing for today."
"Opening the door to invite a thief, I can only blame myself for passing off fish eyes as pearls. I only have myself to blame today."
The Exalted Lunar Luminary – Ling Qing said plainly, "When we left with the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor, and the Three Treasures Jade Scepter fell into the North Star Emperor's hands, it was because the Immortal Court was more focused on suppressing us."
"Now, thanks to Daoist Suo, we have the chance to compete against each other again."
As Ling Qing said that, she raised her hand and grabbed the Holy Radiance Banner that was flickering with the radiance of the sun.
As the banner swayed within the cosmos, a gale was instantly raised.
The gale wasn't as formless as normal storms. Instead, it manifested violent streams of light that engulfed every corner of the void.
Wherever the solar storm went, everyone could barely stand steadily.
The majestic sonorous voice of the great dao resounded. Even Yue Zhenbei, who was in the Profound Immortal Realm, felt that his thoughts weren't circulating smoothly. It was as if they were being suppressed, causing them to become sluggish.
In comparison, Jiang Shen's situation was much better. Although his cultivation had dropped, he was still someone who had cultivated the sonorous voice. As such, he was able to move freely.
However, being pressured by Ling Qing and the Holy Radiance Banner's aura, Jiang Shen felt that it was difficult to move.
Currently, Yan Zhaoge was within the Pill Hall. Under the Pill Hall's protection, he wasn't affected by the sonorous voice of the great dao too much.
He continuously issued orders and controlled the Pill Hall to stabilize its connection with the World beyond Worlds.
However, Ling Qing clearly didn't intend to give Yan Zhaoge a chance.
As she waved the Holy Radiance Banner to suppress Jiang Shen, Yue Zhenbei, and the others, she slashed her palm towards the void again.
A few more light pillars connecting the Pill Hall and the World beyond Worlds broke apart.
"I'll have to risk it all." Within the Purple Divine Pavilion, the Profound Sky Purple Golden Furnace appeared once again. Yan Zhaoge extended his palm and pressed on the furnace's surface.
A strange ritual started circulating. Yan Zhaoge was within it, and he vaguely felt as if his soul had left his body.
"Huh? What's wrong with the Awakened Sky Hall? " Ling Qing, who had the highest cultivation among everyone present, and was possibly the most familiar with the Pill Hall other than Yan Zhaoge, quickly noticed the abnormality.
However, before the ritual was completed, Yan Zhaoge, whose soul's connection with the Pill Hall had become even closer, was able to sense the World beyond Worlds and the Dao universe with the help of the Pill Hall.
He could clearly feel that the World beyond Worlds' territory had become unstable. Somewhere, it had passed through the Dao universe's space and was directly connected to the outskirts.
The Northern Profound Heaven Territory!
Someone was attempting to enter the World beyond Worlds through the outskirts' land of tranquil stream!
