"Advance … further?" Feng Yunsheng muttered to herself and repeated Yan Zhaoge's words.
Which bigwig expert would be willing to remain stagnant and not yearn for a better view?
"Not only the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord." Yan Zhaoge said slowly, "Although the Immortal Court has lost four Grand Heavenly Immortals, there are still some of them. They seemed to have received immense benefits from the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord and passed through the Origin Heavenly Tribulation. However, what should they do if they continue advancing forward?"
"What about the Buddhist experts in the Blessed Lands that are equivalent to our Daoism's Grand Heavenly Immortal Realm?"
Yan Zhaoge's gaze was deep and distant, "They aren't like our orthodox Daoism's Grand Heavenly Immortals, or the Buddhas of orthodox Buddhism when the Mystical Mountain's Gautama Buddha was still around."
"They're just like our Three Clear Lineage's Heavenly Monarchs. Their lifespans are limited as well."
Feng Yunsheng pondered for a while and said, "Many guesses can't be verified until it actually happens. Even if you tell the heretics about it, they won't be shaken."
"No matter if it's our own hard work or external luck," said Yan Zhaoge. "If we want to win, there are two ways to do so. Either we weaken our opponents, or we improve ourselves."
"Now that Senior Suo has given us a great chance to develop, the heretics' strength is out of balance, and an intense war will erupt soon. They won't have the time to make things difficult for us. This is the chance for us to work hard and improve ourselves."
Feng Yunsheng nodded, "Naturally."
To Yan Zhaoge and the others, time waits for no man, and time was extremely precious.
If they were given enough time, they would definitely achieve greatness in the future.
However, the problem was that they might not have enough time.
Their opponents wouldn't let them grow. Encirclement and suppression were inevitable.
As such, Yan Zhaoge and the others had to plan carefully and make use of the opportunity to increase their chances of winning.
Seeing Feng Yunsheng sitting in a lotus position within the Pill Hall's cosmos' void, Yan Zhaoge immediately started meditating. After nourishing himself, Yan Zhaoge also sat opposite of her.
However, Yan Zhaoge didn't immediately enter meditation.
His gaze drifted a little. He looked around and scanned the vast cosmos within the hall.
The Heavenly Court's Divine Palace's Pill Hall was now under his control.
However, when he first obtained the Pill Hall, his encounter with the hall spirit – Awakened Sky flashed across Yan Zhaoge's mind once again, causing him to recall his experiences before the Great Calamity.
Memories from the Heavenly Court's Divine Palace's library.
When he saw the North Star Upper Palace's Heavenly Emperor, Heavenly Lord Zhao and the others, he was even more moved.
Unfortunately, he couldn't talk to these people face to face, so he could only continue to bury the doubts in his heart.
Heavenly Monarch Zhao, the Main Smallpox Emerald Cloud Progenitor, and the others were fine, but Emperor Gouchen was one of the few top-notch bigwigs in the Heavenly Court's Divine Palace.
Many of Yan Zhaoge's questions might be answered from him.
Similar to him was the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor. Compared to the North Star Emperor, he was an even more ancient existence.
He was a true personal disciple of the Jade Clear Primordial Heavenly Lord. He was also one of the few bigwigs of the Jade Clear lineage who had entered the Heavenly Court's Divine Palace.
After experiencing the Investitures of the Gods era, the Journey to the West era, and even the current era, the information he possessed might be even more abundant than the North Star Emperor.
"Huuu …" Yan Zhaoge let out a long sigh. He sorted out his messy thoughts, and his state of mind gradually calmed down.
He retracted his gaze and stopped looking at the void. He started meditating as well.
Walking on the path of cultivating the Three Clear Lineages at the same time was unprecedented. Every step forward required him to continuously explore and summarize.
Up until now, the biggest hurdle in his cultivation was slowly becoming clearer in front of his eyes.
Pushing open the Immortal Door was already a hurdle even if he walked the normal path, let alone a brand new path like this.
As such, even with Yan Zhaoge's capabilities, he had to be extremely careful with this step. Otherwise, not mentioning the dangers of the Immortal Mortal Tribulation, he couldn't be impatient in order to build a good foundation for his future ascension.
Now that Suo Mingzhang had damaged the Immortal Court's strength, and the conflict between Buddhism and Daoism was about to erupt once again, Yan Zhaoge finally had some time to cultivate in peace.
During these days, he had been staying in the Pill Hall, and gradually gained new inspirations.
Now, he had to polish his inspirations and turn them into practical plans.
Yan Zhaoge gently closed his eyes, and slowly entered the Lawless Thoughtless Tranquility state. It was the most beneficial state for cultivation.
…
When Yan Zhaoge manipulated the Pill Hall to sweep away many worlds, leaving the dao universe and drifting within the boundless void, others were also traversing through the boundless void's outskirts.
The bright and cold moonlight flashed across the dark space and time.
After traversing through the layers of folded space, the bright moonlight suddenly stopped.
A cold full moon quietly hung within the darkness, illuminating the surrounding void.
Where the brilliance passed, a silhouette gradually appeared. It was a white-clothed youth.
The youth's skin was pale, and no color of blood could be seen. It was even whiter than the clothes he was wearing. Even his spirit seemed a little sluggish. Only his gaze was peaceful, and no signs of defeat could be seen.
He was the Exalted Solar Luminary – Gao Han.
Currently, the cold full moon's moonlight was gradually dimming, as if it was being devoured by the darkness.
Although the moonlight was dim, a woman walking out from the moonlight made the world seem a little more radiant.
"I made a mistake. I didn't succeed." Gao Han looked at the Exalted Lunar Luminary – Ling Qing, who was walking towards him, and shook his head regretfully.
Ling Qing's expression didn't change. She answered calmly, "I didn't succeed. Jian Shunhua failed. Instead, the little girl that she resurrected obtained the Great Devil's authority."
She looked at Gao Han, "Not the Devil of Aged Metal, but the … Doomsday Heavenly Devil."
"Doomsday Heavenly Devil …" Gao Han raised his head slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
Ling Qing wasn't surprised by this. She didn't continue asking about it, nor did she rush him.
Seeing that Gao Han had returned to his senses, she didn't continue asking about the Exalted Rahu Luminary – Jian Shunhua. It was as if she had already tossed this matter to the back of her mind, "How's your injury?"
"A flower was sliced off from my head, and I lost half of my life." Gao Han thought for a while and said, "I lost more than half of my life."
Ling Qing said calmly, "If Daoist Suo didn't show mercy, you would've lost your life."
Gao Han smiled, "Just like what Daoist Suo said, how could I not pay a price to borrow his blade to kill someone? Unfortunately, in the end, we paid the price, but the plan didn't succeed. We failed at the last step. "
"If we didn't succeed this time, the North Star Emperor would be on guard against us. It would be harder for us to succeed in the future," said Ling Qing.
"It's fine. I'll look for an opportunity in the future." Gao Han said leisurely, "While waiting for you to return, I contacted the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor and heard about something that I didn't know about in the past. It resolved many of my doubts."
