After hearing the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor's question, Yan Zhaoge's heart jolted slightly.
In the past, when he had just obtained the Profound Sky Purple Golden Furnace, he accidentally entered the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus and came into contact with some people. However, he didn't purposely kill anyone he saw to keep it a secret.
However, back then, his cultivation was still too weak, and he didn't attract much attention.
How did the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor learn about this?
While pondering, Yan Zhaoge's expression remained unchanged. Without any hesitation, he answered, "Indeed. At that time, I didn't know that the Western Pure Lands still existed. I thought that the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus was the only Buddhism inheritance left."
"The Western Pure Lands had always been in seclusion until recently." The thunder within the void said, "However, they've always existed."
Yan Zhaoge fell into deep thought.
"However, when you entered the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus, which worlds did you visit?" The thunder within the void suddenly asked.
After pondering for a while, Yan Zhaoge reported the names of a dozen worlds.
In the past, he accidentally entered the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus and continuously tried to find his way back.
Among them, the Obscured Way World that he was still concerned about was included.
However, in front of the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor, Yan Zhaoge didn't mention his suspicions. He only mentioned that the Obscured Way World was mixed among the dozen or so worlds, as if nothing was amiss.
"Do you still remember the location of the Obscured Way World? Can you find the way there?"
Whether it was within his expectations or not, after hearing Yan Zhaoge's reply, the thunderclaps amidst space had specifically mentioned the Obscured Way World.
Yan Zhaoge calmly answered, "I can find it. Does the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor have any instructions for me?"
The thunder resounded, "That Obscured Way World's space is unique. It leads to a place before the Great Calamity, which was completely preserved. It's called the Two Boundaries Mountain."
"If my information is correct, an existence is suppressed there."
Yan Zhaoge nodded and didn't continue the conversation. He calmly waited for the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor's next words.
"If you're free, why don't you make a trip to the Obscured Way World?" As expected, the thunder continued.
"Your Majesty, please allow me to report. This junior is definitely not trying to shirk my duties. It is just that while this Yan has always been rash and frivolous, I still have some self-awareness." Yan Zhaoge asked, "I wonder who established that suppressive seal. With my current cultivation base, can I bear such a heavy responsibility?"
As he spoke, he looked towards the Exalted Lunar Luminary – Ling Qing.
"Gao Han and Ling Qing are obvious targets." The voice of thunder didn't mind, "With me, the North Star Emperor, Incongruence, and the newly arrived Daoist Suo, it would be easier for the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus to discover us."
"You've been to the Obscured Way World before. It'll be a walk in the park for you this time. Now that your reputation isn't small, and you're related to the Pill Hall, you'll surely attract attention. However, Gao Han, Ling Qing, and I will cover for you. We'll help you attract the attention of the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus and the Demon Race."
Currently, the battle between the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus and the Immortal Court was at its most intense. Even if they could divert some of their attention, it would still be limited.
When the flames of war between them subsided, there wouldn't be such a good opportunity.
The timing that the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor had chosen was indeed very suitable.
"I didn't ask you to go there for the seal." The voice of thunder resounded.
Yan Zhaoge's gaze flickered, "Then, what do you want me to do?"
"You only need to confirm the identity of the existence being suppressed beneath the Two Boundaries Mountain," said the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor.
"As you command, your majesty." Yan Zhaoge paused for a moment and said softly, "Your majesty, I've heard of the name Two Boundaries Mountain before."
"During the Middle era, the Demon Race's Great Sage Equalling Heavens was suppressed. After being saved by the Arhat, he successfully obtained the scripture within the Western Heaven's Mystical Mountain, leading the Western Buddhism to spread eastwards for the second time, resulting in the prosperity of the central Blessed Lands of Saha. After that, he immediately became a Buddha and became the Namo Victorious Fighting Buddha?"
The rumbling thunder transformed into words that humans could understand. His tone remained calm, "This rumor is true. However, now that I think about it, there's something fishy about it."
"Coincidentally, I discovered an unknown existence being suppressed there. With the two corroborating each other, there's a need to verify it."
Yan Zhaoge muttered in his heart.
An incomplete truth was usually more deceptive than a fake lie.
Yan Zhaoge didn't object to this logic.
However, Yan Zhaoge felt that the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor only discovered someone being suppressed beneath the Two Boundaries Mountain recently. It might not be the truth.
As for why he was chosen, Yan Zhaoge felt that the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor didn't make this decision on a whim. There seemed to be some hidden reasons behind it.
If the higher-ups were so concerned about this matter, why didn't they send someone to verify it before?
Yan Zhaoge turned his head and looked at Feng Yunsheng. The black jade bottle was undoubtedly the reward.
The Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor was very straightforward and immediately paid the deposit.
Yan Zhaoge wasn't unable to reject it. However, he didn't want to.
To be honest, he was very interested in the Two Boundaries Mountain or the Five Elements Mountain's situation.
Others might not be aware of it. However, Yan Zhaoge had personally visited the Obscured Way World and spent half a day outside the Two Boundaries Mountain. He had a strong intuition.
There was a high possibility that the existence that was trapped under the mountain was the monkey that should have escaped long ago!
In the past, his cultivation was still weak, and his reputation wasn't too prominent either. He wouldn't attract any attention even if he visited the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus occasionally.
Now that he wanted to go there again, he would easily attract the attention of the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus' top-notch bigwigs.
It was rare for the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor, Gao Han, Ling Qing, and the others to help him distract others. Without a doubt, this was the best opportunity.
The matters regarding the Awakened Sky Cosmos, the Sky beyond Skies, and the Roving Jade Heavens had already been settled. There shouldn't be any major changes.
He had just successfully passed the Immortal Mortal Tribulation. Cultivating in seclusion for a certain period of time wouldn't be of much use anymore.
For the current Yan Zhaoge, it would be beneficial for him to accumulate more experience by going through more trials.
At his current realm, there were many times when it was necessary to spend a lot of time and effort, but it was absolutely impossible for him to advance a step further by just relying on time and effort.
If the monkey beneath the mountain was truly the monkey, his uniqueness might be related to the Demon Race, Buddhism, and even Daoism's secrets.
To the current Yan Zhaoge, this was something far more valuable than any scriptures or treasures.
The only thing he had to take note of was …
"Your majesty, how much time do I have?" asked Yan Zhaoge.
"From the moment you stepped into the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus, within two hours," answered the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor.
For experts who had already stepped into the Immortal Realm, two hours wasn't a short amount of time, even including the time spent on the journey.
However, who knew what was happening beneath the Obscured Way World's Two Boundaries Mountain?
From the looks of it, two hours would pass in the blink of an eye.
"I still have to be wary of what if this is a trap." Yan Zhaoge muttered in his heart, "However, it should be enough."
