Firstly, although she was heavily injured and her cultivation wasn't as high as Gao Han's, with the Immortal Slaughtering Sword by her side, Gao Qingxuan's existence couldn't be ignored.
Gao Han looked at Gao Qingxuan, then turned to look at Yan Zhaoge and said, "With the two heretics clashing, the Immortal Court was already in a disadvantageous position. Now that they've suffered a heavy blow, the balance has been broken. I'm afraid that they won't be able to hold on any longer."
Hearing his words, Yan Zhaoge did not speak, his expression also not changing.
Towards Gao Han's judgement, he still acknowledged it.
Now that he had killed the Great King of Inspiration, the Immortal Court had lost another Grand Heavenly Immortal.
While it seemed like the Immortal Court's Grand Luo had been reduced from nine to eight, the Immortal Court's losses were not limited to that.
Other than the Great King of Inspiration who was at the Grand Heavenly Realm, the Immortal Court had lost more than ten Grand Virtual Immortals including the Viridescent Thunder Heavenly Monarch.
This was also a huge loss that was difficult to make up for in a short period of time.
As for the other Mysterious Immortals, True Immortals, and martial artists with even lower cultivations, there was no need to mention them.
Moreover, another important issue was that half of the Immortal Court's Heavenly Palace had been destroyed by Yan Zhaoge's Great Sage Equalling Heavens transformation.
Apart from the direct casualties, what was more important was the damage to the prestige of the Immortal Court, which would directly affect the power of faith.
Although the Immortal Palace was located above the Nine Heavens, the destruction caused by Yan Zhaoge was still displayed in front of the countless living beings in the Immortal Court's thousands of Immortal Territories.
While the details couldn't be seen, the Immortal Court's failure to keep Yan Zhaoge after suffering a huge loss was clearly shown.
If they could capture or kill Yan Zhaoge, there would still be a possibility of covering up their mistakes afterwards.
After all, it was very difficult for the people on the "ground" to directly go to the "sky" and clearly see the immortal palace that was full of ruins.
However, in the end, after Yan Zhaoge destroyed the Immortal Court's Heavenly Palace, he simply left.
This put the experts of the Immortal Court in a difficult position.
Next, they had to appease the middle and lower class citizens on the ground and maintain a stable supply of incense offerings. That was enough to give them a headache.
Today's battle could very well shake the foundations of their rule.
Apart from the loss of top-notch experts, the entire Immortal Court would be weakened and shaken.
Under such circumstances, the Immortal Court was already in a disadvantageous position. Now that they were facing the stronger Blessed Lands of the White Lotus, their situation would undoubtedly become even worse.
Previously, the Immortal Court had already regained their footing. They were even attempting to reclaim the eight hundred Immortal Territories occupied by the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus.
Now, however, they might face another collapse. The Blessed Lands of the White Lotus would once again invade their territories. In fact, they might even suffer a crushing defeat.
No matter if it was Yan Zhaoge, Gao Qingxuan, or Gao Han, they would definitely be happy to see the Immortal Court heretics suffering misfortune.
However, with their knowledge, they could naturally tell that if the Immortal Court was completely suppressed by the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus and suffered a crushing defeat, allowing the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus and the Demon Race to rise, the situation might not be any better for the Three Clear Lineage's successors.
Perhaps the other party wouldn't want to exterminate the orthodox Daoism.
However, it was much easier to suppress their development and attack their momentum.
With the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus and the Immortal Court restraining each other, Yan Zhaoge and the others had a much easier time moving around. On the other hand, one of the two sides could focus their attention on the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus and the Immortal Court. Naturally, the pressure on the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus and the Immortal Court increased.
"Young Heavenly Lord, you're almost able to recreate the Great Sage Equalling Heavens' prowess. The Immortal Extermination Formation has also reappeared within the mortal realm. This is a cause for celebration. However, we still have a long way to go," said Gao Han calmly.
"What the Exalted Solar Luminary said isn't without reason. I will constantly reflect on my actions." Yan Zhaoge said indifferently, "However, some things must be done, and some people must die."
"Otherwise, I'll directly return to the World beyond Worlds and follow the Exalted Earth Luminary, listening to the North Star Emperor's orders."
Gao Han laughed, "Young Heavenly Lord, your words are truly heart-wrenching."
Yan Zhaoge said, "I'm flattered. I understand that the Exalted Solar Luminary has his own considerations. However, don't cause any misunderstandings when you act."
"Of course, I hope to cooperate with everyone." Gao Han smiled and said, "After all, we're all aiming for the same goal."
Gao Qingxuan said calmly, "Let's hope so."
"If that's the case, I'll take my leave first. Fellow daoists, please wait." Gao Han cupped his hands, "Perhaps a huge change is about to occur. We have to plan for it."
As soon as he finished speaking, his silhouette turned into sunlight and disappeared into the darkness of the void.
After seeing Gao Han's departure, Yan Zhaoge said softly, "For a moment, I wanted to kill him."
Gao Qingxuan's expression remained calm, "Anyone who knows him would have such an experience. It might not even be the first time."
"Senior Gao, let's go." Yan Zhaoge let out a sigh, "He Mian, the Viridescent Thunder Heavenly Monarch, and the others have been executed. At least senior apprentice-brother Nie and senior apprentice-sister Yu are still alive."
"However, this is only the beginning." His gaze sharpened once again.
Gao Qingxuan nodded slowly and didn't say anything else. She only said, "Let's go."
She extended her hand and helped Yan Zhaoge lift the divine metal. Then, they transformed into dark-red sword-lights and disappeared within the boundless void.
As they traveled, they concealed their tracks and returned to the Awakened Sky Cosmos.
Information from other places was also being transmitted back.
Suo Mingzhang, the Incongruence Divine Mother, the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor, and the others were originally facing off against the Roc of Ten Thousand Cloudy Miles and the other Great Demons.
After knowing that Yan Zhaoge had appeared in the Immortal Court with the Golden Body of the Great Sage, the Roc of Ten Thousand Cloudy Miles immediately rushed to the Immortal Court.
Suo Mingzhang and the other Daoism bigwigs intercepted him. As a result, the war that was already on the verge of erupting officially erupted.
Even now, the outcome of the battle had yet to be determined.
However, there were rumors stating that the Western Pure Lands' Buddhism experts were spying on them from the sidelines.
With this third party's pressure, it would be hard for the two sides to fight to the death and determine the victor.
Yan Zhaoge and the others were slightly relieved.
The continuous battles had greatly exhausted them, and they urgently needed to recuperate.
After returning to the Awakened Sky Cosmos, other than recuperating, Yan Zhaoge placed most of his attention on the heavily injured Yu Ye.
Her current condition was even worse than Ying Yuzhen's in the past.
Yan Zhaoge also had to analyze the situation and think of countermeasures.
Although Gao Qingxuan, Long Xingquan, and the others were also heavily injured, they still treated Yu Ye together with Yan Zhaoge.
Everything within the Awakened Sky Cosmos gradually regained its peace.
However, in other places, Yan Zhaoge's havoc within the Immortal Court's Immortal Court was continuously being affected.
The Exalted Lunar Luminary – Ling Qing, who was still recuperating, said to Gao Han upon seeing him, "Did the Immortal Court not make any preparations for accepting He Mian's defection? Did they just attack the Young Heavenly Lord?"
"A Grand Heavenly Immortal brought nine Grand Virtual Immortals back to the Immortal Court's Heavenly Palace to hold down the fort. Along the way, two Buddhas, the Victorious Fighting Buddha and the Buddha of Sandalwood Merit, came as well," Gao Han praised.
After a long silence, Ling Qing said softly, "Currently, among our orthodox Daoism, they are the strongest lineage."
