Yan Zhaoge looked at the tall man in the distance and felt that the white hair on his temples seemed to have increased.
Yan Di had already ascended to the Grand Heavenly Realm, and he had long shed his mortal body.
It was a piece of cake for him to regain his youthful appearance. It was just that Yan Di had never cared about such problems.
Currently, his appearance looked much more tired than before. It was completely a projection of his state of mind.
Yan Zhaoge recalled that he and Yan Di hadn't met for thousands of years.
Ever since the Nine Underworlds Puzzle, Yan Di had been in seclusion ever since he ascended to the Grand Heavenly Returning Mountain.
To people of Yan Zhaoge's and Yan Di's cultivation bases, secluded cultivation lasting thousands of years in a single session was actually a very common occurrence.
However, Yan Zhaoge knew that Yan Di's seclusion wasn't only for cultivation.
After investigating his own problem, Yan Zhaoge also understood what was wrong with Yan Di.
That jade plate.
That token plate originated from the Heavenly Court's Divine Palace, but was related to Yan Di and the Grand Simplicity Splendour Cloud.
Before the Nine Underworlds Puzzle, Daoism didn't have a Dao Realm bigwig, which prevented anyone from deciphering its true meaning.
After the Nine Underworlds Puzzle, the monkey ascended to the Dao Realm. However, Yan Di didn't need his help, because he himself had ascended to the Grand Heavenly Realm.
The jade plate was related to Yan Di and the Grand Simplicity Splendour Cloud. Other Grand Heavenly Immortals couldn't decipher the jade plate's secret, but Yan Di could.
Studying this jade plate made Yan Di feel like he had fallen into a nightmare.
A thousand years passed in an instant. A thousand years passed in an instant.
Yan Di might not be able to feel the flow of time in the outside world while in seclusion. Now that he had exited seclusion, he felt like he was in a trance for an instant.
However, if he didn't exit seclusion today, he might still be immersed there.
When he exited seclusion, Yan Di understood the secret hidden within the jade plate.
And it was the information contained within that made this man, who had always been arrogant and proud, look so tired now.
He looked at Yan Zhaoge with a myriad of emotions mixed within his gaze, which were hard to describe.
Yan Zhaoge sighed softly.
Why was it that Yan Zhaoge, who had always kept his mouth tightly shut and carefully concealed his secret, did not mind revealing it to the world today?
Because when he knew that the one who transmigrated him here was the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, the secret was no longer a secret.
If it was the Elder Lord who had transmigrated him here, Yan Zhaoge could still ignore it.
The Grand Supreme Elder's thoughts were unpredictable. Everything could be said or not. Although there might be a day when everything was said, it was not certain.
The Grand Supreme Elder knew that he could actually pretend that it did not exist.
But the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord was different.
The so-called secret, had the value of keeping it a secret, which was why people had been diligently concealing it.
As long as no one knew about it, the secret had its value, regardless of whether it was positive or negative.
On the contrary, the day the value was realized, there would naturally be no more secrets to speak of.
As the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord had schemed for so long, he would naturally not keep this secret for him, Yan Zhaoge.
Yan Zhaoge had not disturbed Yan Di before this.
Some things had to be faced eventually, sooner or later, it was the same.
Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di stared at each other, neither of them speaking.
Yang Jian and the others looked at the pair of father and son who had once shaken the world, unparalleled in both ancient and modern times. They all had worried expressions.
To them, whether it was a dove occupying a magpie's nest, or a soul returning from the dead, Yan Zhaoge was still that Yan Zhaoge they knew at the end of the day.
However, things were different for Yan Di.
This youth before them was incomparably outstanding, far more outstanding than the child in their memories.
After so many years, the two had long since developed a true father-son relationship between them.
Still, this was different at the end of the day.
Moreover, it was this youth before them who had been concealing the truth all along, doing his best to resemble the original owner of this body …
Nezha's figure moved slightly as he wanted to advance. Yet, he was stopped by Feng Yunsheng.
He swivelled his head to look at Feng Yunsheng, only to see her shaking her head lightly.
Nezha hesitated for a moment before finally halting.
Feng Yunsheng gazed at Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di.
Besides Yan Zhaoge, the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord and the absent Elder Lord, she was the only one who had known the truth before today.
Therefore, she had remained composed in the face of all that had happened earlier.
It was only now that even the usually fearless Feng Yunsheng felt her heart twitch.
The Immeasurable Heavenly Lord was also silently looking at Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di.
He pointed at the figure seated on the Wind Fire Prayer Mat, "Slay this body, and your son shall return."
Yan Di slowly swivelled his head, gazing at Yan Zhaoge's previous life's fleshly body.
Yan Zhaoge did not seem to feel the threat that Yan Di might pose as he looked at the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, asking, "So the Grand Simplicity Splendour Cloud was really created by you?"
"It is rare to meet such a suitable couple. It is a match made in heaven and earth, just what I wanted," The Immeasurable Heavenly Lord said indifferently.
His' match made in heaven and earth 'naturally did not refer to Yan Xintang and Di Qinglian being a perfect match for each other.
Instead, he referred to them actually being of the direct lineage of the Jade Clear lineage and the Prime Clear lineage, both possessing outstanding talent and originality as they had researched and analysed a new peak martial art that combined the supreme martial arts of the two lineages, simultaneously possessing the forte of both lineages.
The Immeasurable Heavenly Lord's Grand Simplicity Splendour Cloud could be put to good use here.
It was a perfect match for his plans.
How could he not be satisfied?
"So it is not that I look like him. Instead, it is that he looks like me from my past life. This really is …" Yan Zhaoge looked at his previous life's fleshly body, then at Yan Di before lowering his head to look at himself.
It was not without reason that the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord did not permit Yan Di to slay the current Yan Zhaoge, instead wanting him to slay Yan Zhaoge's past body.
What he wanted was not to slay Yan Zhaoge. Instead, he wanted to wrest away Yan Zhaoge's foundation of simultaneously cultivating in the Three Purities!
With the support of a special ritual, it required a specific person and a specific martial art to execute this slash.
The person was Yan Di and the sabre was the Creation Sabre that had been nurtured by the Grand Simplicity Splendour Cloud!
In order to prevent other Dao Realm Mighty Figures from noticing anything, the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord had split up the plan many times.
Now, it was time for them to converge.
With this slash of the saber, the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord succeeded.
Yan Zhaoge resisted the devouring of the great door of white jade with all his might, yet still seemed powerless to stop Yan Di.
Under the control of the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, the blazing fiery light of the Heavenly Essence Stone obstructed Feng Yunsheng and the others, only allowing Yan Di to pass through.
Yan Di gazed at Yan Zhaoge's past life's fleshly body before shifting his gaze to Yan Zhaoge himself.
The father and son pair looked at each other again.
Yan Zhaoge could feel that a formless barrier had been erected between him and Yan Di at the end of the day.
The middle-aged man in front of him looked more unfamiliar than before.
However, within his gaze, there seemed to be many familiar things.
Yan Di slowly raised his hand and clenched his fist. Purple radiances circulated within his palm, which naturally formed a long saber.
Wherever the saber pointed, the momentum of the heavens and earth seemed to be advancing. It was unstoppable and all-conquering.
The purple saber was slowly raised, illuminating Yan Zhaoge's face.
Then …
He swung it down!
His target …
The Immeasurable Heavenly Lord!
The violent and domineering saber-light overturned all creations and engulfed the masses!
"Foolish beyond measure." The Immeasurable Heavenly Lord's gaze was as cold as ice.
The previously exhausted man's gaze was now blazing like fire, "You're the foolish one!"
"Do you think that I can't tell who caused all of this today?"
"Even if I want to bicker with him, I'll have to wait until after I slay you!"
"Then, I'll have my son return and slay you to end everything!"
Even in front of a Dao Ancestor, the majestic and domineering saber-light didn't retreat at all. Wherever the saber pointed, it pressed forward with indomitable will!
