The surface of the ancient sword, which was flickering with azure light, was gradually covered with runes.
Then, Yan Zhaoge performed a spell. The runes on the surface of the Immortal Exterminating Sword seemed to have come to life, flowing towards the tip of the sword.
At the tip of the sword, the green sword light gradually solidified and condensed into a green jade dagger.
Black and yellow incantations appeared on the green jade dagger.
Gripping the green jade sword, carefully feeling the concept within, Yan Zhaoge nodded towards the others.
The Northern Ocean Clone, Xue Fei and Pan-Pan retracted their abilities. The light ball in mid-air vanished, the contents of the Later Earth Text no longer visible.
"Everyone, please bring the Immortal Slaying Sword back to the Awakened Sky Cosmos. It's better for us to keep such an important treasure." Yan Zhaoge weighed the short sword that flickered with a green and yellow lustre in his hand, saying, "I'll go take a look with Yunsheng, see if we can discover anything."
Needless to say, Xu Fei and the others had temporarily lost their combat prowess. Feng Yunsheng had ascended to the Grand Heavenly Realm, and her prowess was concealed within Yan Zhaoge's right eye.
"Better be careful." Gao Qingxuan was very confident in Yan Zhaoge and Feng Yunsheng's safety. She simply said, "An existence like the Jade Illusory Palace would definitely attract a lot of attention."
Yan Zhaoge nodded, "Please rest easy, Senior Gao."
By the side, Pan-Pan happily clasped a long stick as he anxiously looked at Feng Yunsheng. "Come back soon …"
That long thing was a curved elephant trunk.
It remembered Yan Zhaoge's words and didn't forget to bring along the Spirit Tooth Immortal's long nose that was broken by the Ru Yi Golden Cudgel.
Right now, Pan-Pan was waiting for Feng Yunsheng to display her culinary skills and cook for him so that he could enjoy the legendary elephant plucking.
"Praying for us to be safe, praying for us to come back soon. So it was just to come back and cook for you?" Yan Zhaoge looked at Pan-Pan, amused whilst also exasperated.
Feng Yunsheng also laughed and shook her head.
Pan-Pan blinked, saying naively, "Let's eat together …"
Hearing this, everyone smiled. Yan Zhaoge stroked her head and waved goodbye to Xu Fei and Gao Qingxuan. Feng Yunsheng's figure also disappeared, and her silhouette retracted into Yan Zhaoge's right pupil.
Yan Zhaoge carefully concealed his tracks as he traversed the infinite space of extradimensional space.
"Zhaoge, what do you plan to do?" Feng Yunsheng asked.
"Previously, there was only the Later Earth Text. There were too few clues." Yan Zhaoge answered, "Now that we know that the Earth Goddess had come into contact with the Immortal Exterminating Sword and might even visit the Jade Illusory Palace, there are more clues. Perhaps we can try to find it."
As he said this, a jade green lustre had already appeared within Yan Zhaoge's left pupil, countless runes surging within.
Yan Zhaoge stepped on the void. As he walked, he no longer blindly moved forward. Instead, he used the Astral Steps and used his Immortal Aura to lay down numerous spirit patterns.
The result of the fusion of the formation patterns was the Yin Yang Nine Splendor Seven Treasures Formation.
He threw the jade dagger in his hand into the formation.
The green light on the surface of the sword kept flickering, and the black and yellow incantations kept flowing on the sword.
Yan Zhaoge used the formation technique derived from the Later Earth Text together with the Origin Heavenly Scripture.
"The Nine Splendor Jade Palace, the Seven Treasures Royal Chamber, the time of reporting to the heavens. Dominating yin and holding the handle of yang, the dao of exalted exalted and grand, the virtue is stored in gentleness and chastity, imitating the vast heavens, the fundamental nurtures the beauty of the earth, the flow of things, giving birth to the benevolence of the Mother Dao, the blasphemy of the mountains and rivers, the great sorrow and great desire, the benevolence of the great sage, imitating the heavens, imitating the Earth Queen."
Yan Zhaoge recited the Earth Goddess's words, and his hands kept changing the hand seals.
As time passed, the green jade dagger in the formation suddenly shook and broke into two pieces with a "ka" sound.
"Huh?" Seeing this, Yan Zhaoge revealed a joyful expression.
Within the Yin Yang Nine Splendor Seven Treasures Formation, the seven clusters of nebulas rose, and the nine pillars of light sunk.
Amidst the blurry radiance, the two halves of the dagger combined to form a dark yellow sword-light. It rushed out of the formation and sped towards the distance.
Yan Zhaoge immediately followed.
Halfway through, the dark yellow sword-light suddenly stopped, and black runes appeared on its surface.
The sword-light trembled, but stopped advancing.
"Before the Earth Goddess, this junior, Jade Clear Yan Zhaoge, greets you." Yan Zhaoge stopped, not hurried nor impatient.
After being trapped by the black runes, a voice resounded from within the dark yellow sword-light.
Those were profound and unfathomable syllables. Although the meaning was hard to understand, the tone was gentle and warm.
Although Yan Zhaoge felt like he had never heard of this language before, he understood the meaning of the words clearly.
"With such a huge commotion, everyone should be able to find me."
Hearing the somewhat familiar voice, Yan Zhaoge's memories seemed to have returned to before the Great Calamity, when he was still in the Heavenly Court's Divine Palace.
His expression remained normal, "This junior came to thank the Earth Goddess for gifting me this sword. Due to my urgent mood, I have been rude. Please forgive me, Earth Goddess."
After a moment of silence, the other party said mildly, "I would also like to meet the current generation's hero of our orthodox Daoism."
The black runes imprisoning the sword-light disappeared, and the sword-light regained its freedom. However, Yan Zhaoge took a step forward and kept the dark yellow sword-light.
At the same time, another black and yellow rune appeared in front of him. It quietly hovered within the cosmic void.
Yan Zhaoge kept the rune. After experiencing it for a while, he had an idea of what to do. Then, he continued his journey.
After a long journey, Yan Zhaoge distinguished his path and roamed the sea of stars.
He was getting closer and closer to a star. The blazing star heavenly fire blazed brightly, and the heat was overwhelming. The starlight was dazzling, resembling the sun.
However, Yan Zhaoge didn't stop. Instead, he walked forward step by step, and his body finally rushed into the star.
Parting the aurora and blazing fire, an earthy yellow luster suddenly appeared in front of Yan Zhaoge's eyes. It resembled a piece of land.
He stepped into it, and instantly felt much cooler. At the same time, it wasn't cold. After staying for a long time, the heat faded away, and he only felt warmth.
As if his life had returned to its mother's womb.
Although there weren't any other people here, Yan Zhaoge could still feel an extremely powerful existence in this world hidden within the star.
The Earth Queen's earthly deity.
"Earth Queen, please forgive me. I was being presumptuous." Yan Zhaoge quietly stood on the spot and didn't continue moving.
The gentle and warm voice resounded again, "You're too polite."
After pausing for a while, she continued, "It's a good deed to have another Grand Heavenly Immortal in our orthodox Daoism. Congratulations."
Since he was in the world formed by her power, Feng Yunsheng's existence naturally couldn't be hidden from the Earth Queen. She immediately appeared from Yan Zhaoge's right eye, "Earth Queen, this junior greets you."
"You're welcome." The Earth Queen said, "Looking at the two of you, I'm very happy. Our orthodox Daoism still has a bright future."
Yan Zhaoge didn't ask about the Earth Queen's whereabouts. Instead, he said again, "Thank you for gifting me the sword, Earth Queen."
However, the Earth Queen said, "I don't dare to claim credit for this. Although it's in my hands, the sword isn't mine … Instead, it came from the Nine Underworlds."
