Yan Zhaoge's gaze was dim. Yan Di and Xue Chuqing, who stood in front of him, became silent for a moment.
At this moment, another piece of information came from the outside world.
After twenty years, the Immortal Court's experts descended upon the dao universe once again!
This time, their target was the World beyond Worlds and the lower realms that were currently governed by the World beyond Worlds.
"With Mahamayuri holding back so many Great Demons by himself, the Western Pure Lands' manpower would be sufficient to assist the Immortal Court in obstructing the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus." Yan Zhaoge let out a long sigh, "The Immortal Court's heretics would then be free to descend upon the dao universe's World beyond Worlds."
Yan Di's expression turned serious, "They want to illuminate the people of the World beyond Worlds and absorb the dao universe's resources to nourish themselves?"
Yan Zhaoge raised his head slightly and looked at the Purple Divine Pavilion's ceiling, "To them, the most valuable reward is a person."
"I heard that the Exalted Earth Luminary – Jiang Shen had ascended to the Five Qis Unification Realm?" Yan Di and Xue Chuqing looked at each other.
"Yeah." Yan Zhaoge nodded, "I can't say how far Jiang Shen could reach under normal circumstances. However, if he were to be illuminated by the heretics, there's hope for him to ascend to the Grand Heavenly Realm. Moreover, it wouldn't take too long. At the very most, he would be able to ascend to the Grand Heavenly Realm within a hundred years. After all, he has our Three Clear Lineage's Virtual Immortal foundation."
Yan Di and Xue Chuqing didn't say anything.
Although they were enemies in the past, and weren't on the same path now, they still felt complicated upon hearing this news.
"Since Mahamayuri has made his move, the Immortal Court and the Western Pure Lands could launch a counterattack. With the Dao Ancestors restraining each other, Mahamayuri could simply rampage through the world." Yan Di frowned and said, "Is there still a need to illuminate the people of the World beyond Worlds and nourish the Immortal Court?"
Yan Zhaoge shook his head, "We don't know why Mahamayuri made his move this time. After helping the Immortal Court through this calamity, it's uncertain if he would continue to make a move. After all, he was born in the Demon Race and had a close relationship with many Great Demons. Otherwise, he wouldn't have secluded himself during the Middle era."
After a short pause, he continued, "If Mahamayuri continues to make a move, then we'll have to pay close attention to the movements of the Nine Nether."
"After all, there are truly too few people below the Dao Realm who can go against Mahamayuri. Unless there's a way to neutralize the Five-colored Divine Light, such as my Jade Clear lineage's Wuji Apricot Yellow Flag."
Yan Zhaoge said as he thought.
Xue Chuqing asked, "There's no news about the North Star Emperor from the Dao universe?"
"No," Yan Zhaoge shook his head.
"It seems like other than the heretics, the Western Pure Lands' Buddhas have also secretly come to the Dao universe." Xue Chuqing sighed.
This time, there was no movement from the North Star Emperor. Clearly, he was being held back by someone.
In the Dao universe, even though the Western Pure Land's Buddha didn't show his face, it was clear that he had contributed.
If they didn't help to resist Great Emperor Gouchen, it wouldn't be so easy for the Immortal Court to succeed.
"Having illuminated the World beyond Worlds, obtaining benefits from its members is only secondary." Yan Zhaoge said softly, "Other than Jiang Shen, there aren't any Profound Immortal Sovereigns in the World beyond Worlds. As such, the heretics wouldn't be able to illuminate and obtain the benefits of a Grand Virtual Immortal."
"Even if Jiang Shen ascends to the Grand Heavenly Realm, it'd be hard for him to do so. After all, he doesn't possess the Duo Flowers Converged Crown cultivation."
He curled his lips, "If they can't directly launch a counterattack against the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus and obtain a complete victory, the Immortal Court would have to face the problem of their faith power being shaken."
"You've caused a huge damage to the Immortal Court's reputation." Yan Di nodded, "They intend to illuminate, or rather, conquer our Three Clear Lineage's World beyond Worlds and the various worlds under their rule to make up for it."
No matter how strong Mahamayuri was, no matter how important his role was, only the Immortal Court's higher-ups would know about it. He wouldn't publicize it to the lower levels.
"It's also because of this move that Mahamayuri might only make a move this time," said Xue Chuqing after pondering for a while.
Yan Zhaoge said, "Perhaps, there might be some other tricks hidden within, but it's not something we can guess at the moment."
He shook his head, "The Immortal Court's tribulation might have been passed. However, the World beyond Worlds' tribulation is unavoidable."
Previously, after the continuous battles against the Nine Underworlds' Devils, the Daoism lineage's vitality was more or less damaged. They needed to rest and recuperate.
The Grand Heavenly Immortals might still be fine, but they were being held back by the Western Pure Lands' Buddhist lands.
As for the Awakened Sky Cosmos, they were already at the end of their rope.
Yan Zhaoge's main body included. Due to him fusing the three Golden Bodies of the Great Sage into one, his essence, qi, and spirit had been greatly depleted. Now that his tense mind had finally relaxed, he would often feel fatigued and needed time to recuperate.
Similarly, the three Golden Bodies of the Great Sage couldn't be unleashed for the time being.
Feng Yunsheng and Gao Qingxuan were also recuperating. Back then, when they laid down the Immortal Extermination Formation and experienced the Immortal Extermination Formation's destruction, they were the same.
Yan Zhaoge and the others were fated to be spectators of the World beyond Worlds' tribulation.
Yan Zhaoge's family of three looked at each other and let out a soft sigh.
To a certain extent, the Dao universe's World beyond Worlds' tribulation was related to the Awakened Sky Cosmos' growing strength.
Due to the Elder Lord, other forces wouldn't sever the Three Clear Lineage's orthodoxy unless it was absolutely necessary.
Even if they fought against each other, they would only target a certain person or group of people. It would rarely affect the entire Three Clear Lineage.
Now that the Awakened Sky Cosmos and the Dao universe had been separated for many years, and both were part of the Three Clear Lineage, even if one of them was severed, the other would still exist. The Three Clear Lineage's roots wouldn't be severed.
To a certain extent, this was actually a form of danger.
Only, the more dangerous one side was, the safer the other side was.
The Awakened Sky Cosmos' geographical advantage wasn't easy to locate. Now that they were getting stronger, they were relatively safer.
As a result, the Dao universe, which had a clear location and was slightly weaker, became an increasingly dangerous pushover.
Now that the Immortal Court was being beaten by Yan Zhaoge, they came to vent their anger on the other side.
Under normal circumstances, the weakened Immortal Court couldn't even deal with the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus. How could they care about taking revenge on the Three Clear Lineage?
Unfortunately, Mahamayuri's sudden reappearance allowed the Immortal Court to catch a breather.
In the end, a tragedy befell the World beyond Worlds.
"This time, the World beyond Worlds can be considered as a disaster falling from the sky." Yan Zhaoge smiled bitterly and pinched his temples.
"No one can go against Mahamayuri. They can only accept this outcome." Ignoring Yan Zhaoge's mocking words, Yan Di slowly said, "In the end, we were defeated by him alone. No matter if it's us, the Demon Race, or the Buddhist heretics."
Yan Zhaoge smiled, "That's right. One must be strong to forge iron. Fortunately, I have some ideas."
