"The Vast Freedom Heavenly Devil hasn't shown himself for a long time. Is he still alive?" asked Yu Ye curiously.
Yan Zhaoge turned to look at Feng Yunsheng. Feng Yunsheng said softly, "There's a high possibility that the Vast Freedom Heavenly Devil has yet to transcend or perish. Instead, he's still alive. However, I can't be sure of his current situation."
The Great Freedom Heavenly Devil was one of the Six Great Ancestral Devils among the Twelve Devilish Gods. He was born during the Early Heaven Era and was one of the Devil Dao's Dao Ancestors. He was the leader of the Devil Dao, standing above the Heart Devil, the Shadow Devil, the Water Devil, and the Earth Devil.
The Primordial Heavenly Demon was suppressed and the Karma Heavenly Demon had fallen. The Mahesvara Heavenly Demon fully deserved to be the strongest cultivator of the Fiend Dao, the ancestor of the Dao that could compete with other Dao Realm cultivators.
Although he had not appeared for a long period of time, no one could ignore the existence of this Ancestral Fiend.
"The Heart Devil and the Wood Devil are still around. The Water Devil is bothering the Astro Sovereign, while the Earth Devil is bothering your sect's disciples." Yu Ye asked again, "What about the Aged Metal Devil and the Fire Devil?"
Yan Zhaoge answered, "I'm not sure about the Devil of Tertiary Fire, but the Devil of Aged Metal was still in a perished state. There were no signs of him reviving."
In the past, when Yan Zhaoge had entered the Nine Underworlds to look for Feng Yunsheng, he had encountered the battlefield where his grandfather – Yan Xintang had fought against the previous Devil of Aged Metal's incarnation – the Sword Devil – Yin Shiyang.
In that place, Sword Devil Yin Shiyang's vital energy still had a remnant imprint, but it was withered, only a piece of history.
If the new Devil of Gengjin was reborn, the traces left behind there would most likely undergo corresponding changes. After all, that place was located in the Nine Underworlds.
Still, after having left the World beyond Worlds, in order to ensure that his whereabouts were not leaked, Yan Zhaoge had no longer set foot there. He could not be certain of the current situation.
"Great Demons borrow bodies to be reborn. Sometimes, we can discover traces of them in advance, but sometimes, it's very difficult to detect them." Yan Zhaoge said a little helplessly, "Or rather, even if it is detected, there would not be enough time to deal with it, unless the body's will is strong enough, being able to stably defend itself for a long time."
For example, the Astro Sovereign, Chen Xuanzong, or Chu Lili, who was under his protection back then.
On the other hand, people like Ying Yuzhen and Shi Jun had problems with their health. Hence, they were forced to delay the process.
However, there were quite a number of situations where the Great Devil actually came into contact with the body and reincarnated as an incarnation. It actually didn't take much time, and it was impossible to guard against it.
Sword Devil Yin Shiyang and Chu Lili's father, Ice Devil Chu Heng, were both in the same situation.
It was also because of this that the reincarnation of a peak Great Demon and the Godfiend Empowerment were impossible to guard against.
Perhaps there was a relatively long incubation period, but there were few signs during the incubation period. Once it flared up, it would be like a wildfire that was difficult to extinguish.
Otherwise, if it was exposed prematurely every time and needed a long time to prepare, the Great Demon's path of resurrection would definitely be blocked one after another, and very few would succeed.
Although it was a little cruel, there had been cases in history where one's physique was exposed prematurely and then killed on the spot, ending things once and for all.
It was just that Yan Zhaoge and the others naturally did not want to consider such a method.
"We are still a little passive now, but we can't be impatient. Otherwise, it would instead be easy for the other side to take advantage of us," Yan Zhaoge said, "Let's just wait patiently."
Feng Yunsheng and Yu Ye nodded.
Yan Zhaoge looked at Yu Ye and smiled, "Before senior apprentice-brother Nie returns, senior apprentice-sister, are you going to wait here or at the Jade Capital Crag?"
"I'm fine with either," said Yu Ye blankly.
Yan Zhaoge smiled and said, "Let's stay here then. When senior apprentice-brother Nie returns, he should be here as well. He should be arriving soon."
"I know. Before I came here, uncle had asked about the Jade Capital Crag. He said that senior apprentice-brother Nie would be returning soon, so he asked me to come here directly," said Yu Ye with a nod.
Yan Zhaoge asked with interest, "This should be your third battle, right? You've already tied twice. Senior apprentice-sister, did you come here with something new? "
"I've gained something." As she spoke about this, Yu Ye's eyes lit up, and she seemed a little proud.
"Then, I wish you victory in advance." Yan Zhaoge smiled and cupped his hands.
Yu Ye opened her mouth and wanted to say something. Then, she felt a little dejected, "Victory … is hard to say. Senior apprentice-brother Nie always brings something new."
Then, she smiled and said, "Every time we fight, I've gained a lot. I feel that learning is boundless, and the myriad of profundities within it. Every time, I'm immersed in it."
"How joyous is sparring with the sword? In the past, senior apprentice-uncle Long went to the Roving Jade Heavens. Although his words were a little intense, his original intention was to experience the Prime Clear sword dao. According to him, my ancestor's fight with Senior Gao and my ancestor's mother left a deep impression on him. "Yan Zhaoge shrugged.
"Unfortunately, as the world changed, the anger between the two grew stronger and stronger, to the point that hatred was formed." He said sincerely, "It would be a good thing if the hatred could be eliminated."
As the Roving Jade Heavens moved into the Awakened Sky Cosmos, the Vine Sovereign – Li Ying, who had the worst relationship with the Jade Capital Crag, left. As a result, the conflict between the Roving Jade Heavens and the Jade Capital Crag eased up slightly.
Their relationship was still far from friendly. In fact, they were even faintly hostile towards each other. However, it wasn't as intense as before.
However, it would be difficult to hope for them to let go of their past enmity.
After all, when the two were hostile towards each other, casualties had occurred.
Moreover, even Gao Qingxuan, who was the friendliest amongst the Prime Clear lineage's bigwigs, didn't forget about Yan Xintang's suppression of the Roving Jade Heavens.
Her greatest regret in her life was that she couldn't spar against Yan Xintang again to cleanse her past defeat.
While her son, Long Xueji, was exceptionally talented, his father, Long Xingquan, had taught him the Jade Clear sword art during his rise to power.
Regardless of the outcome of his spar against the Jade Clear sword cultivators, it would be difficult to judge the superiority of the Jade Clear and Prime Clear sword arts.
Fortunately, outstanding geniuses were emerging endlessly from both sides. Moreover, their ages and cultivations were similar.
The Prime Clear lineage had high hopes for Yu Ye and He Mian. They hoped that they could defeat Yan Xintang's grand-disciple, Nie Jingshen, and cleanse their past humiliation.
He Mian fought against Nie Jingshen and was ultimately defeated by his sword.
As for Yu Ye and Nie Jingshen, they would spar once every ten years. Twenty years ago and ten years ago, they both ended in a draw.
Now that the ten-year deadline had arrived, Yu Ye came to fulfill it.
Nie Jingshen had previously left the Sky beyond Skies and traveled around the Awakened Sky Cosmos. However, he would soon return to fulfill his promise.
"Actually, it's not really a contest. It's just that my grandmother and the others were still gambling." Yu Ye looked at Yan Zhaoge, "If we were to compare, neither I nor He Mian would be able to defeat you, junior apprentice-brother Yan. After all, you're the Exalted Gold Luminary's bloodline descendant."
Yan Zhaoge waved his hand, "However, I'm not a sword cultivator. Honestly speaking, my attainments in the Jade Illusory Heaven Opening Sword can't compare to senior apprentice-brother Nie. I can't represent the highest standard of my ancestors' sword arts. Even senior apprentice-brother Nie couldn't defeat you with the Jade Illusory Heaven Opening Sword, let alone me."
He smiled and said, "I don't think there's a need for you to set a time limit. If you're interested, just spar. It'll be beneficial for everyone's improvements."
