To Yan Zhaoge and the Sky beyond Skies, other than the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord illuminating Fu Ting, Meng Wan, He Xixing, and the others, the Nine Underworlds' threat remained.
Not only were the Astro Sovereign, Chen Xuanzong, and Chu Lili being harassed by the Water Devil, there were also the Broad Creed Mountain's internal problems, such as Shi Jun and Ying Yuzhen.
In the past, their knowledge was limited. However, as Yan Zhaoge and the others' cultivation grew, and as they interacted with more and more experts, they gradually understood Shi Jun and his mother's situation.
Especially after Feng Yunsheng's return, it further confirmed Yan Zhaoge and Chen Xuanzong's conjecture.
Back in the Eight Extremities Worlds, even Yan Zhaoge didn't expect the Nine Underworlds Evil Devils related to Shi Jun and Ying Yuzhen to have such a huge background.
Back then, he only thought that the two of them were severely injured, and would require a long period of recuperation before they could awaken.
He never imagined that they were the reincarnations of a Great Devil.
Furthermore, they were extremely suitable reincarnations.
When a Great Devil reincarnated, choosing a person as a reincarnation wasn't related to the person's cultivation or potential. Instead, it depended on the Great Devil's compatibility.
Shi Jun was targeted by a Great Devil that was equivalent to a Daoism Grand Virtual Immortal before he perished.
His mother, who was also Shi Songtao's wife, Ying Yuzhen, was even more shocking.
A Great Devil that wanted to use Ying Yuzhen's reincarnation body was a top-notch Evil Devil, one of the Twelve Devilish Gods – the Earth Devil, one of the Twelve Devilish Gods!
Before he perished, he was equivalent to a Daoism Grand Heavenly Immortal, a top-notch Great Devil in the Nine Underworlds.
Such a Devil's reincarnation through Ying Yuzhen's body was even more troublesome than the Water Devil's reincarnation through Chen Xuanzong.
After all, Chen Xuanzong had pushed open the Immortal Door for thousands of years and was already a Profound Immortal. He was only a step away from becoming a Grand Virtual Immortal.
Even so, he was treading on thin ice.
As for Ying Yuzhen's cultivation, when compared to Great Devils like Chen Xuanzong, the Water Devil, and the Earth Devil, her strength was negligible.
To a certain extent, Ying Yuzhen's injuries were too severe, which caused her reincarnation to be delayed until now.
But as time passed, the day of the Earth Devil's reincarnation was getting closer and closer.
"In recent years, I feel that the Earth Devil has already made his preparations. He could erupt at any time." Feng Yunsheng's expression was solemn.
She, Chen Xuanzong, and Yan Zhaoge could be considered as the people who were most familiar with the Nine Underworlds in the Sky beyond Skies.
Regarding Ying Yuzhen and the Earth Devil, the three of them came to the same conclusion after carefully observing them.
"The Earth Devil understands sister-in-law Yuzhen's situation very well. He also has a rough sense of her surroundings." Yan Zhaoge shook his head, "Returning and being reborn is his goal, but he definitely wouldn't want to be slain once more immediately after his rebirth."
After all, Ying Yuzhen's cultivation was too low.
Even with the Earth Devil's reincarnation and the Fiendgod's Empowerment, he would still be weak in the beginning.
Even if one's cultivation realm and power were to advance by leaps and bounds, it would still take time. No matter how short this period of time was, in the end, it was not something that could be achieved in one go. There was a process involved.
If this process wasn't handled appropriately, the Earth Devil's situation would undoubtedly be perilous. It would be much more dangerous compared to the Water Devil reincarnating through Chu Lili or Chen Xuanzong.
As such, the Earth Devil had to grasp the right timing to achieve his goal of reigning supreme under the heavens. He shouldn't die again just to satisfy his craving.
"He might be waiting for the Water Devil to act together." Feng Yunsheng said, "The Great Devils of the Nine Underworlds should be preparing to receive them as well."
Yan Zhaoge nodded, "Indeed."
After pondering for a moment, he turned to look at Feng Yunsheng and asked, "Are you sure that the Evil Devil using Little Jun as his reincarnation is the Earth Devil's subordinate?"
"There shouldn't be any mistake," answered Feng Yunsheng.
Yan Zhaoge pondered and said, "No wonder he's been quiet until now."
Compared to the unconscious Ying Yuzhen, Shi Jun had already woken up. His actions were as usual, and he cultivated his martial arts. Currently, he was the leader of the Broad Creed Mountain's fourth generation disciples. He had ascended to the Martial Saint Realm for many years and had been continuously climbing upwards.
As for the unique rune within his body, it remained hidden until now. Normally, it wouldn't affect his movements.
However, even Shi Jun himself knew that it was a hidden danger within his body that could erupt at any moment.
Yan Zhaoge and the Broad Creed Mountain had always been paying close attention to Shi Jun's condition.
After Feng Yunsheng and Chen Xuanzong analyzed Shi Jun's condition, they realized that Shi Jun's condition was unique as well.
The Great Devil that wanted to borrow his body to reincarnate was the Earth Devil's subordinate devil. Only when both of them perished would the Earth Devil be reborn. Only then would the subordinate devil have a chance to reincarnate. Otherwise, even if the Earth Devil found a suitable body, he could only wait.
Moreover, its concept was the same as the Earth Devil's reincarnation.
For example, if the Earth Devil transformed into a Rock Devil after his reincarnation, this subordinate Devil's nature would be similar as well.
Hence, even though Shi Jun's condition had been normal for the past few years, the miniature Earth Devil had never shown any signs of activity.
He was waiting for his master.
Now, the time was ripe, and he was only waiting for the final moment.
"Hopefully, this thing can be put to use." Yan Zhaoge kept the ribbon, "I'll go visit Little Jun and sister-in-law Yuzhen."
Feng Yunsheng nodded, "Just now, I heard from the sect's elders that the Roving Jade Heavens' senior apprentice-sister Yu is here. I'll go accompany her."
"Alright, I'll be there in a while," answered Yan Zhaoge.
After the two bid farewell, Yan Zhaoge went to look for Shi Jun.
Now that the Broad Creed Mountain was flourishing, its disciples that had attained a certain level of cultivation and status could already set up their own residences within the mountain range.
However, Shi Jun's condition was rather unique. As such, he remained within the sect. He was more than happy to accompany his slumbering mother.
When Yan Zhaoge arrived at Shi Jun's residence, someone else was there.
It was Shi Jun's master, "Heavenly Roc" Xu Fei.
"Senior apprentice-brother Xu." Yan Zhaoge cupped his hands and sighed.
Currently, Xu Fei was the Broad Creed Mountain's Assignment Hall's First Seat. As the older generations slowly faded away from the sect's management, he became the Sect Master Yan Di's number one assistant. He could even be considered as the first-in-command under Yan Di.
Just like his master, Shi Tie, Xu Fei's way of handling matters was won over by everyone within the sect.
While Shi Jun was his disciple, Xu Fei had always been impartial and strict when it came to official matters.
However, Xu Fei's concern for Shi Jun had never been cut off.
After learning about the Earth Devil's situation, Xu Fei was filled with worry.
"Junior apprentice-brother Yan." Xu Fei smiled and nodded, greeting Yan Zhaoge. On the other side, Shi Jun hurriedly stood up and said happily, "Senior apprentice-uncle Yan, you've returned?"
