The clump of light flew in front of Yan Zhaoge. Within the radiance, an irregularly shaped rock appeared in front of Yan Zhaoge and Feng Yunsheng.
Yan Zhaoge extended his hand to receive it. Then, he felt his palm sinking.
He cultivated supreme martial arts like the Cyclic Heavenly Scripture, which granted him great strength. With his current cultivation, it was as easy as flipping his palm to carry mountains and rivers.
However, Yan Zhaoge actually still found it rather strenuous to hold that seemingly inconspicuous piece of broken stone that carried a few sharp edges in it.
However, at the same time, he could clearly feel that the rock contained a feeling that was compatible with the martial arts concept that he had cultivated.
It came from the same source as the Cyclic Heavenly Scripture, and had even reached an extreme level of charm.
Yan Zhaoge cultivated the Cyclic Heavenly Scripture. When he was still a Martial Saint, his comprehension of the Cyclic Heavenly Scripture had already far surpassed the standard of other True Immortals.
When he held this rock in his hand, he had a deep feeling about it.
Now, his mind seemed to have cleared up, and his thoughts reversed. Not only did he come to the time before the Great Calamity, but he also went back to the ancient past.
He went through the Middle Ages and even the Ancient Era, reaching the Ancient Era when it was still primitive and desolate.
"According to the legends, the Cyclic Heavenly Seal was refined using the mountain peak of the Ancient Era's Heavenly Mountain after its peak broke off. It's indeed true." Yan Zhaoge calmed his mind. After breathing in and out, his body seemed to be trembling slightly.
Seeing this, Gao Han clapped his hands and praised, "Such a high talent. Just by touching the Cyclic Heavenly Seal's fragment, your comprehension of the Cyclic Heavenly Scripture seems to have improved a lot. At this point, every little bit of progress is precious. For you to be able to do it so easily, it shows how deep your previous accumulations are. You only need a little bit more to break through the window paper."
Now that there was a chance, he immediately achieved it.
"You flatter me, Exalted Solar Luminary." Yan Zhaoge didn't evade in front of Gao Han. His body trembled for a moment and returned to normal. Then, he kept the rock.
Seeing his appearance, Feng Yunsheng knew that the rock was indeed the Cyclic Heavenly Seal's fragment.
As a disciple of the Broad Creed Mountain, she had heard of the legend of this Cyclic Heavenly Seal's fragment. She knew that it was a treasure obtained by the Broad Creed Mountain's founder in the Eight Extremities World.
In the Eight Extremities World, the Broad Creed Mountain's martial arts originated partly from this Cyclic Heavenly Seal's fragment.
At that time, in a lower realm, the highest cultivation level of a martial artist was only at the Merging Avatar level.
This fragment of the Flipping Heaven Seal was a divine object. The higher one's cultivation, the more they would be able to appreciate its extraordinariness. If one's cultivation was insufficient, the harvest would be relatively limited.
However, even so, this treasure had also benefited Broad Creed Mountain greatly, allowing it to distinguish itself amongst the numerous sects in the history of the Eight Extremities World as it flourished.
But later on, this treasure was lost.
From the looks of it now, it was indeed Gao Han who had stolen something when he had descended to the Eight Extremities World.
"Regarding the Three Brilliances Sacred Water, if the Exalted Solar Luminary has any concrete information and is able to grasp the situation, we might as well give it a try. Only, I don't know if we can help you." After keeping the Cyclic Heavenly Seal fragment, Yan Zhaoge looked at Gao Han and said.
Gao Han faintly smiled, "With you and your wife travelling together, we will definitely be able to achieve twice the results with half the effort."
"Exalted Solar Luminary is too polite." Yan Zhaoge said, "If that's the case, I'll have to contact the Sky beyond Skies and inform my seniors about the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus and the Obscured Way World's Five Elements Mountain. Please wait for a while, Exalted Solar Luminary."
Gao Han made a "please" gesture, "Of course. I'll have to inform the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor about this as well."
After both sides had settled their matters, Yan Zhaoge and Feng Yunsheng followed Gao Han and headed towards the depths of the boundless void.
Both parties traveled together. Naturally, there was no lack of mutual probing along the way. It was practically going on at all times.
Needless to say, Yan Zhaoge was wary of Gao Han. Gao Han was similarly tight-lipped, making it hard for Yan Zhaoge to obtain any valuable information.
However, Gao Han didn't mind telling Yan Zhaoge and Feng Yunsheng about the latest battle between the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus and the Immortal Court heretics.
"If that's the case, the Immortal Court had a Grand Heavenly Immortal who almost perished?" asked Yan Zhaoge with interest.
"Not bad." Gao Han answered, "Right now, their disadvantage in terms of the number of Grand Heavenly Immortals and Grand Virtual Immortals is obvious. Compared to the heretics, it's easier to replenish True Immortals and Profound Immortals, but it'll be difficult for them to advance further."
"Of course, in terms of numbers, it's still easier than us."
Yan Zhaoge stroked his chin, "Eight out of the Three Thousand Immortal Territories were gone, with the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus occupying the myriad of worlds. However, the Immortal Court had to defend fewer places as a result, which allowed them to maintain their manpower. In other words, they were using space to exchange for time and time to rest. I'm afraid that some places might have been strategically given up."
"That's the logic, but it'll be very difficult to take it back." Gao Han chuckled, "The eight hundred Immortal Territories, encompassing worlds of various sizes. There are over ten thousand of them, and their population is in the hundreds of millions, or even billions. These are the source of faith power and incense that the heretics value the most."
"They can try to move the people to other places, but they can't take the resources and treasures with them in a hurry."
"Even if they didn't leave the population for the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus, the eight hundred Immortal Territories' population would still be a huge problem for the remaining two thousand and two hundred Immortal Territories. Just the internal coordination alone would be a huge problem for them."
Gao Han said slowly, "Now that twenty years have passed, the initial chaos should have calmed down. The desire to return to their homeland and take revenge grew stronger. Under the guidance of the Immortal Court's higher-ups, it would condense into an even stronger faith power."
"However, if they couldn't reclaim their homeland after a long time, no matter how much the migrating population believes in the Immortal Court, their faith would be shaken. They would be dissatisfied, and they would also be doubtful. After accumulating to a certain extent, their anger towards the outside world wouldn't be appeased, and the spearhead would be directed towards the internal world."
If it were any other place, it wouldn't matter if the people's hearts were shaken.
However, for the heretics' worlds, no matter if it was the Immortal Court or the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus, if they didn't have the people's hearts, it would be a disaster that would shake their foundations.
If the impact was small, and the number of people was small, it would still be fine. However, the Immortal Court had suffered a huge loss this time. If there were any internal conflicts, they couldn't be underestimated.
If they continuously purified and strengthened the effects, they might be able to stop the declining trend.
However, the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus clearly didn't want to give the Immortal Court a chance to rest. Their attacks never stopped, forcing the Immortal Court to fight against the external enemies. They couldn't focus on dealing with their internal problems.
"Not only the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, even the Immortal Court's experts, starting from the Exalt Martial Saint Realm, would be able to benefit from the faith power." Yan Zhaoge lightly clapped his hands, "With the faith power declining, the Immortal Court's higher-ups wouldn't experience a drop in their cultivation. However, they would be affected more or less. It would be even harder to replenish the fallen higher-ups. "
