Facing Yue Zhenbei, Yan Zhaoge nodded slightly, "We'll do our best."
Everyone bade farewell and dispersed. Yu Ye returned to the Roving Jade Heavens within the Crimson Radiance and Yang Heaven, Suo Mingzhang returned to the Grand Peace Royal Cliff Heaven, and Yan Zhaoge and the others returned to the Vermillion Royal Reed Heaven and the Sky beyond Skies.
Yan Zhaoge's North Ocean Clone secretly watched Yu Ye enter the Roving Jade Heavens. Only then did he feel relieved and left.
After returning to the Sky beyond Skies, Yue Zhenbei went to the Jade Capital Crag, while Yan Zhaoge and the others returned to the Broad Creed Mountain.
Everyone on the Broad Creed Mountain was worried for Nie Jingshen after hearing about what had happened.
However, since things had progressed to this point, they could only take it slow. Everyone knew that they couldn't rush things.
After Yan Zhaoge returned to the mountain, he cultivated by himself.
Feng Yunsheng was guarding the Vermillion Royal Reed Heaven, while Xu Fei was in charge of the Broad Creed Mountain. Unless something special happened, Yan Zhaoge didn't have to worry about it.
He cultivated the Three Flowers above the Head and condensed the Essence of Divinity in order to facilitate his future cultivation.
After the Solitary Flower Converged Crown, Yan Zhaoge continuously battled against the Red Inferno Dhamma Buddha, the Dingguang Joyous Buddha, and the others.
Putting aside the fact that the Red Inferno Dhamma Buddha Lord was a mighty Buddha who had attained enlightenment in Buddhism, even if the Dingguang Joyous Buddha had joined the heretics due to historical reasons, his strength was still extraordinary among the Grand Heavenly Realm heretics.
Although he didn't improve as much as Feng Yunsheng, fighting against these Grand Heavenly Realm experts gave Yan Zhaoge a lot of benefits.
These accumulated benefits would aid Yan Zhaoge's progress.
He needed time to analyze and accumulate. After thoroughly understanding the various principles, he would use them for his own use.
While walking on the path of cultivating the Three Clear Lineages would bring him limitless glory, the higher he went, the more difficult it would be. Yan Zhaoge lacked references and had to constantly comprehend it himself.
There was no sun or moon in the mountain. For those who were immersed in cultivation, time would pass quickly without them noticing.
Yan Zhaoge wasn't an exception. As he was fully focused, he didn't pay much attention to the outside world. Only when something extremely important or special happened would he be alerted.
For example, in the Limitless Cloud Oath, the Taiyi Immortal finally succeeded in purifying Nezha's fiendish aura, guiding the historical god of the Three Altars Sea Meeting to truly revive from the calamity of the Great Calamity and return to this world.
Having received this news, Yan Zhaoge was also overjoyed.
The True Deity Taiyi and Nezha had specially come to the Zhu Luo Royal Reed Heaven to bid farewell to Yan Zhaoge and the others.
Since Nezha had recovered, it was not appropriate for the master and disciple to occupy the universe of Wuji Tan Tian anymore. They had somewhere to go.
Other than bidding farewell, they had also come to thank Yan Zhaoge.
"I've already heard about what happened from my master. My heart was confused and I let go of my restraint. I've really made a fool of myself in front of fellow Daoist. I still have to thank fellow Daoist for your help so that I can return to my true self."
This Great Divinity of the Three Altars' Sea Gathering had the appearance of a youth with delicate features of the past, an air of arrogance vaguely visible between his brows. However, as he spoke to Yan Zhaoge now, he was extremely polite and sincere.
After experiencing the great calamity back then, after experiencing so many years of torment after his rebirth and awakening, he seemed to be more stable than the rumors said.
At the very least, as far as Yan Zhaoge knew, this person was definitely not someone who would stay put.
Even though he had become a Grand Heavenly Immortal, and even though he had looked down upon the world for more than an era, he still did not change his youthful temper. He was famous for being hot-tempered and unreasonable.
To put it bluntly, he was just an overaged brat …
Not only was he overbearing, but his destructive prowess was also extremely shocking. Only a few people could restrain him.
Fortunately, Nezha seemed to be much more stable than Yan Zhaoge's impression of him.
"You're being too polite. We're on the same side. If I can help you, I'll naturally do so," said Yan Zhaoge.
"I still have to thank Little Friend Yan." The Taiyi Cultivated Deity smiled and said, "You've been forgiving us for a long time. It's time for us to leave. With the current situation, we might have the chance to help each other in the future. If Little Friend Yan has any issues, you can contact us."
"Of course." Yan Zhaoge asked, "What do you plan to do next?"
"I'm planning to make a trip to the Western Pure Lands." Nezha said, "Although I've already ended the grudge between me and Li Jing, this matter still has to be traced back to that baldy Dipamkara."
Within these few sentences, Nezha revealed his arrogance from back then.
"Li Jing's actions were related to the Dipamkara Ancient Buddha. In the past, when I fought with Li Jing, that baldy Dipamkara bullied me and used the pagoda to suppress and refine me. During the Great Calamity, he was also related to it. If I don't take revenge, how can I let this matter rest?" Nezha's gaze was filled with hatred and anger.
Yan Zhaoge stroked his chin. He didn't think that Nezha was being reckless, "Great Deity Three Altars, are you planning to directly challenge the Dipamkara Ancient Buddha?"
Nezha nodded, "That's right."
The existence of the Immortal Extermination Formation had completely changed the living environment of the orthodox Daoism's descendants.
If there wasn't the Immortal Extermination Formation, even if Nezha was an expert of the Jade Clear lineage's third generation, he wouldn't have a good ending if he dared to directly challenge the Dipamkara Ancient Buddha.
However, if he directly went to the Western Pure Lands to challenge the Dipamkara Ancient Buddha, the worst outcome would be him losing to the Dipamkara Ancient Buddha in a one-on-one battle.
Whether he lived or died would depend on his own capabilities. At the very least, the conflict would be resolved between him and the Dipamkara Ancient Buddha.
It wouldn't be like the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor, the Incongruence Divine Mother, the North Star Emperor, and the others, who had to bear the risk of facing the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, the Future Buddha, and other Dao Ancestors at any time.
Of course, this didn't mean that Daoism's outstanding figures like Yang Jian, Suo Mingzhang, Feng Yunsheng, or Nezha could openly challenge the other forces' Grand Heavenly Immortals, which were weaker than them, and kill their opponents.
The few Dao Ancestors wouldn't tolerate it.
It was just like how Mahamayuri, the Dipamkara Ancient Buddha, and Daolord Lu Ya wouldn't do such a thing.
If they really did so, it would be no different from starting an all-out war, where both sides would perish together.
At the end of the day, the so-called openly issuing a challenge could only be done between two opponents who were on the same level. In fact, it might even be the weak challenging the strong.
Such a problem didn't exist between Nezha and the Dipamkara Ancient Buddha.
First of all, their grudges were extremely deep, far surpassing the norm. Due to various reasons, they had been suppressing their grudges for a long period of time. In fact, the grudges only grew more and more complicated.
Secondly, in terms of age and seniority, Nezha was far inferior to the Dipamkara Ancient Buddha. The younger wasn't bullying the younger by challenging the older. Moreover, they had already broken off their relationship, and weren't on the same path. Thus, it wasn't rude or disrespectful.
Lastly, and most importantly, according to their past impressions and performance, the disparity between the two wasn't too huge. The victor would only be determined after they fought. In fact, some people even thought highly of the Dipamkara Ancient Buddha. Nezha's initiative to challenge him wasn't to bully the weak. Instead, he might end up kicking a steel plate.
Undeniably, the possibility of the Western Pure Lands taking advantage of the situation to kill Nezha still existed. However, the current orthodox Daoism had the capital to take precautions and take revenge.
"However, I feel that the Dipamkara Ancient Buddha might not accept your challenge," said Yan Zhaoge as he looked at Nezha.
