Early on, other than Yan Zhaoge and Feng Yunsheng whose cultivation bases were comparatively higher, the outside world was used to calling the most outstanding members of Broad Creed Mountain's younger generation, Xu Fei, Ying Longtu, Xia Guang and Sikong Qing, the 'Broad Creed Four Heroes'.
With the passing of time, those of the younger generation of the past had long since become the central pillars of Broad Creed Mountain, senior experts.
Thanks to Xue Fei's fortuitous encounters, he was already a Grand Heavenly Immortal now.
The remaining three had ascended to the Tranquil Profound Immortal Realm many years ago.
Ying Longtu had even reached the Great Void Mystic Immortal Realm with his Five Qis Unifications.
Further down the list, the younger generation led by Shi Jun were all extraordinary as well, and there was no lack of people who surpassed their masters.
Amongst those that were closely related to the Yan Clan were Huang Huting and Yan Xiaoai, and they were naturally independent and had attained the Tranquil Mysterious Immortal Realm.
Realistically speaking, other than their outstanding talent and potential, being at Broad Creed Mountain, being at the forefront of the revival of Daoism, the benefits in various aspects could not be overlooked as they benefited more than others.
The overall living environment of the Dao Sect had changed, and all the successors of the Dao Sect had benefited greatly.
A better environment, more favorable conditions, more abundant products, and more systematic inheritance were all promoting the continuous emergence of talents in the Dao Sect.
Compared to the past, the environment was much more stable, and it also protected the growth of many geniuses, preventing them from dying prematurely.
"How is Senior Xue now?" Xu Fei asked Yan Zhaoge.
Yan Zhaoge answered, "I already have the confidence to trigger the Profound Origin Tribulation. The wishes of the Exalted Wood Luminary and the Bright Connection Emperor have already been fulfilled. Mother no longer has anything holding her back, and her heart is untainted. There shouldn't be any problems."
Like Yuan Zhengfeng and Fang Zhun, Xue Chuqing also felt rather regretful.
When she was young, she wandered from place to place. The years of hiding had more or less delayed her cultivation.
It was true that training was beneficial to his growth, but the material conditions were too poor.
Although he had reunited with Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di, stabilizing himself, and had also enjoyed the benefits of improving the environment of Daoism's direct lineage, his experiences in the past still left a negative impact on him.
It was very likely that part of her talent and potential would be hard to realize.
Now that he had reached the Five Qis Unification realm, it was nothing difficult.
However, it was hard to say how far he could go if he went any higher.
Every time Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di thought of it, they would feel like wringing their hands.
Xue Chuqing, on the other hand, was very open-minded, often consoling her family instead.
"Zhaoge …" Xue Fei pondered for a moment before finally asking, "While you've just ascended to the Grand Heavenly Immortal Realm, I feel that not only are you so powerful that you can cover the skies with your palms, but your interpretation of the world's principles is also extremely profound …"
As Xu Fei spoke, he looked towards Yan Zhaoge, "How far away are you from the Dao Realm?"
"There's a bit of distance, but …" Yan Zhaoge said frankly.
He stretched out his hand and gestured with his thumb and forefinger. The space between the two fingers was just a little bit away from closing, "... A little bit."
"However, such a short distance, yet worlds apart. This distance might be difficult to cross for the rest of my life."
Yan Zhaoge's tone was calm as Xu Fei and Feng Yunsheng did not feel disappointed at all.
Feng Yunsheng herself had ascended to the Grand Heavenly Immortal Realm for a thousand years and had extraordinary strength. However, she still had a bumpy road ahead of her to attain the Dao Realm.
"Is the route clear now?" Xue Fei asked.
After a moment of silence, the corner of Yan Zhaoge's mouth twitched, revealing an expression that resembled a smile, "Actually, my path of ascension is already clear. Now, I just have to wait for the moment when the time comes."
Upon hearing this, Feng Yunsheng couldn't help but recall Yan Zhaoge's series of strange actions after meeting Gao Han.
While Xue Fei didn't travel together with Yan Zhaoge previously, looking at Yan Zhaoge's expression, he vaguely felt that something was amiss.
"Relax, it'll be fine." Yan Zhaoge smiled, "Just like the Nine Underworlds Puzzle. Now that we've come this far, it's like a single-plank bridge for everyone. Only by doing our best to cross it would we be able to see the world."
"After the Nine Underworlds Puzzle, the Great Sacred Ancestor Heavenly Lord ascended to the Dao Realm. The environment of us Daoism's successors has completely changed. However, correspondingly, the situation is also constantly changing." Xue Fei sighed, "Zhaoge, if you wish to ascend to the Dao Realm, the commotion you'll cause wouldn't be any weaker than the Nine Underworlds Puzzle."
Yan Zhaoge smiled, "At the end of the day, the battle between the Dao Ancestors will directly affect us."
"The day when the Amitabha Buddha and the Vast Freedom Heavenly Devil recover, the other party will definitely make a comeback," said Xue Fei in a deep tone.
Currently, there were still eight Dao Ancestors remaining in this world.
The Elder Lord's thoughts couldn't be discussed for now.
Of the remaining seven, the Amitabha Buddha, the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, the Primordial Heavenly Devil, and the Vast Freedom Heavenly Devil vaguely formed a line.
As for the East Sovereign Taiyi, the monkey, and the Future Buddha, they seemed to be helping each other.
However, the two Heavenly Devils and the Amitabha Buddha might not be of the same mind.
The Future Buddha, Maitreya, was an ally of the East Sovereign Taiyi. However, if he helped the East Sovereign Taiyi transcend, it would mean that the Future Buddha would lose his staunch ally, and he would have to face the Amitabha Buddha and the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord alone.
Unless, before the East Sovereign Taiyi transcended, they could join hands to deal with the Amitabha Buddha or the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord.
For the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, the situation was slightly better than the Maitreya Buddha.
If the Amitabha Buddha wanted to transcend, it meant that the Maitreya Buddha had to disappear.
Donghuang Taiyi was now sitting on a fishing platform, waiting for the end of the era to arrive. It was hard to say whether or not he would be willing to take the risk and fight the enemy to the death.
On the contrary, the monkey was the most carefree.
As the Dao Ancestor of the Three Clear lineage, his subordinates could be said to be the strongest.
It was precisely because of the monkey's support that the East Sovereign Taiyi felt more at ease.
However, on the other hand, if the monkey wanted to transcend in this era, he and the Daoism's lineage would be the biggest taboo.
"To us, each has its own pros and cons."
Yan Zhaoge said, "If the East Sovereign transcends in this era, it wouldn't benefit the Devils at all. If the Faceless Heavenly Devil doesn't descend, the Maitreya Buddha wouldn't be able to survive against the Amitabha Buddha in the next era."
As long as the Amitabha Buddha eliminated the Maitreya Buddha's existence, he would be able to transcend in the next era, as long as there weren't any other variables.
By then, as long as the Daoism lineage didn't help the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus, the Amitabha Buddha wouldn't become enemies with Daoism, and everyone would be able to live in peace.
However, the Primordial Heavenly Devil, the Vast Freedom Heavenly Devil, and the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord might be different.
By then, Daoism might be facing difficulties alone.
"If the Amitabha Buddha eliminates the Future Buddha's existence in this era, after he transcends, no one would be faster than the East Sovereign in the next era." Xue Fei said, "It's just that when the Faceless Sky Demon descends, the three great Sky Demons will come together. At that time, we might need the Great Sacred Ancestor, His Majesty the East Monarch, and the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord to resist them.
After a slight pause, Xue Fei continued, "If the chances of transcending are really limited, the Great Sacred Ancestor might not be willing to wait for two eras. After all, there are too many variables."
"If the Great Sacred Ancestor Heavenly Lord transcends …"
