While they could not be considered to be surrounded by waves from all directions, Yan Zhaoge's intuition told him that the incoming 'tsunami' was not of this scale.
As time elapsed, the surging waves would only become more ferocious until they covered every direction and completely surrounded the Awakened Sky Cosmos within a certain region.
When that happened, all the "tsunamis" would be squeezed toward the center, and the Awakened Sky Cosmos would have nowhere to hide. It would be exposed to the enemy's field of vision.
The Awakened Sky Cosmos wasn't stationary. Instead, it was constantly on the move. However, the "tsunami" that was stirring up in spacetime was too violent and swift. Furthermore, there was more than one source.
The source of the "tsunami" seemed to be mobile!
Thus, they were able to constantly change their direction and search for the Awakened Sky Cosmos.
Of course, the void in the outer realm was too vast. Be it the Awakened Sky Cosmos or the source of these "tsunamis," they were both insignificant.
If the other party wanted to encircle the Awakened Sky Cosmos, they would need to at least have a starting point and a rough area. Only then would they be able to form an initial encirclement. Then, they would be able to make use of the "tsunamis" to shake the void and find the exact location of the Awakened Sky Cosmos.
"Of those who previously left, some are currently returning. Now, they're being targeted …" Yan Zhaoge's thoughts moved slightly, and he roughly understood the reason, "Ah Hu, who left the Awakened Sky Cosmos recently?"
Within the Awakened Sky Cosmos, there were many people traveling in and out of the Sky Beyond Skies, the Roving Jade Heavens, and the Jade Spring Heavens.
However, due to the Orthodox Daoism's current situation and the unique nature of the Awakened Sky Cosmos, anyone who wanted to enter or exit the Awakened Sky Cosmos or the void's outskirts would have to report to the Pill Hall. This would make it easier for them to communicate with each other, and it would also make it easier for the Pill Hall to receive them when they returned to the Awakened Sky Cosmos.
There was a limit to the number of people who could leave the Awakened Sky Cosmos and head to the outer realms. Hence, it wasn't difficult to record them down.
"Our Sky beyond Skies' Green Sky Mountain's Grave Thunder Palace's Old Palace Lord Liu, Roving Jade Heavens' Scenery Peak's Flowing Heaven's Old Mister Long, Jade Spring Heaven's Cold Star Mountain's Tranquil Rock Cave's Rain Sovereign, and Fangzhan Mountain's Mountain Lord Xuan Emperor." Hearing Yan Zhaoge's question, Ah Hu immediately reported the name list.
Among those who had left the Awakened Sky Cosmos, there was Liu Zhenggu of the Sky Beyond Heaven, Long Xingquan of the Roving Jade Heaven, Tong Xinlin of the Jade Spring Heaven, and another newly advanced Leakless True Immortal, Emperor Xuan.
In the Jade Spring Heaven, Mount Fangzhan and Mount Hanchen had always been on good terms. After Emperor Xuan ascended to the Celestial State and stabilized his state, he went out to travel again to look for opportunities. Tong Xinlin was asked by him to help.
"Find someone to inform them separately. Contact those who can be contacted as soon as possible." Yan Zhaoge instructed, "Ask them not to return to the Awakened Sky Cosmos for now. I'll try to contact the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor and the Incongruence Divine Mother for now."
"Also, invite my mother and Senior Martial Brother Xu to the Purple Divine Pavilion."
Ah Hu nodded in agreement and hurriedly left.
After a while, Xue Chuqing and Xu Fei arrived at the Purple Divine Pavilion, "Zhaoge, what's wrong?"
"There are people outside looking for us," Yan Zhaoge answered simply, "The other party has come with great momentum this time, and will not be easy to deal with. We have to deal with them carefully."
"I'm going to shift the Pill Hall on a large scale later on. Mother, help me hold the line. Senior apprentice-brother Xu, stay by my side. If there's any huge commotion, help me calm the situation in the Sky beyond Heavens."
As he said this, dense mist arose from Yan Zhaoge's body.
Within the Purple Divine Pavilion, streams of light intertwined like chains and landed on the Profound Sky Purple Golden Furnace in front of Yan Zhaoge.
The lid of the huge cauldron opened.
"Young Master, I've managed to contact them." Ah Hu returned, "The Roving Jade Heaven's Mister Dragon is about to return. After receiving the news, Mister Dragon stopped and went somewhere else. He's waiting for the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor and the Incongruence Divine Mother to receive him."
Yan Zhaoge said, "That's good."
He leaped up and entered the Profound Sky Purple Golden Furnace, closing the lid.
"Senior apprentice-brother Xu, Pan-Pan, and the others need to rest. They can't manifest the Golden Body of the Great Sage to fight against others. Should I go out?" said Feng Yunsheng softly within Yan Zhaoge's right pupil.
"If the other party dares to make such a move, they must be prepared against our Daoism's Heavenly Immortals. Not only you, but even Senior Suo, the Incongruence Divine Mother, and the others shouldn't make a move." Yan Zhaoge said, "Not targeting anyone below the Grand Heavenly Realm is the Dao Ancestors' tacit understanding. If you show yourselves, it'll be hard to predict."
"Moreover, even if the Amitabha Buddha and the East Sovereign don't make a move, the other party's preparations should be sufficient."
He smiled. "With such a huge movement, I wouldn't dare to come if I don't settle my worries first. Even if the two heretic sects are still fighting, I'm afraid that the Western Pure Lands and the demon race have reached a temporary agreement to suppress us first."
As he spoke, Yan Zhaoge's soul left his body, leaving behind an empty shell.
His mind had completely merged with the Pill Hall.
The Awakened Sky Overseer, Awakened Sky Protector, Broad Benevolence God's image gradually manifested within the Awakened Sky Cosmos.
The speed and flexibility of the entire Awakened Sky Cosmos' spatial shifting increased by another level.
Under Yan Zhaoge's control, the Awakened Sky Cosmos was like a nimble fish. It traversed through the ocean waves and nimbly avoided the undercurrents and massive waves.
Although he was avoiding the "tsunami" and walking in the opposite direction, Yan Zhaoge didn't let his guard down.
An empty space didn't mean that there weren't any "tsunamis." Instead, the source might be further away, and the tsunami hadn't managed to surround them yet.
Many sources pushed the "tsunamis" towards the center. However, before they reached a certain range, there would still be some distance between the sources and the "tsunamis". After all, the vast void was too vast.
As such, a gap might be left behind, akin to the gap between two fishing nets.
Yan Zhaoge and the others had to avoid the fishing nets. Before the fishing nets completely surrounded them, they had to leave first.
After breaking out of the encirclement, the Awakened Sky Cosmos quickly returned to normal.
Not only was the previous state exhausting, but it also couldn't be sustained for long. At the same time, the Awakened Sky Cosmos itself was like the source of the "tsunami," which was easily noticed by others.
Yan Zhaoge's soul returned to his body. He opened his eyes and exited the Profound Sky Purple Golden Furnace, "There are so many fishing nets. There should be at least ten of them, or even more."
"The other party gathered their experts, and even had to be wary of our Daoism's Heavenly Immortals. They shouldn't be searching for people. Otherwise, they would have mobilized too many people," said Xu Fei.
"If they're relying on some sort of treasure …" Xue Chuqing fell into deep thought.
"Yeah, I thought of one as well." Yan Zhaoge stroked his chin. He and Xue Chuqing looked at each other and said in unison, "The Dipankara Ancient Buddha, the Sea Calming Pearl!"
During the Ancient Investitures of the Gods era, Daoism's Prime Clear bigwig, Zhao Gongming, possessed twenty-four Sea Calming Pearls.
After that, Zhao Gongming encountered a tribulation and entered the Heavenly Court's Divine Palace. As for his Sea Calming Pearl, it fell into the hands of the Dipankara Ancient Buddha, who was known as the Dipankara Daoist.
These twenty-four Sea Calming Pearls could manifest the twenty-four heavens. They were extremely heavy, and contained the profundities of space and time. They were perfect for trapping the Awakened Sky Cosmos.
