Yan Zhaoge's aura-qi that resembled a dragon's surged as ice and fire intermingled, yin and yang intermingling.
The vigorous aura-qi gradually changed, no longer radiating blazing heat or cold as it slowly resembled the chaotic qi mass within Yan Zhaoge's dantian, becoming blurry and indistinct.
It was as if it could contain all things, create all things, and annihilate all things.
Yan Zhaoge looked within himself, a hint of a smile gradually appearing at the corners of his mouth.
Accompanied by his thoughts, the chaotic aura-qi within Yan Zhaoge's body abruptly shuddered, slowly condensing into a single point.
His aura-qi casually shifted within Yan Zhaoge's body, moving unceasingly as he wished, completely in tune with his thoughts.
At this moment, the aura-qi within Yan Zhaoge's body resembled an extension of his fleshly body, as it could be gathered and dispersed at his will.
When he was still, he was like the ocean, but when he moved, he was like thunder.
To be able to cultivate Stellar Energy to such a level, it was a sign that a middle-stage Xiantian Master had stepped into the late-stage Xiantian Master realm!
With just a thought on Yan Zhaoge's part, that aura-qi that resembled chaos instantly changed in form, rapidly turning into an existence that resembled blazing fire, setting the plains ablaze and incinerating the heavens.
In the next moment, the Stellar Energy had already turned into ice, forming a world of ice and snow.
The Frigid Ice Qi was divided into two, one of which remained unchanged, while the other transformed back into the form of raging flames.
Then, the two streams of aura-qi transformed together, transforming into a vast clear qi, vast as the heavens, vast and boundless. It was precisely the qi of Broad Creed Mountain's direct lineage Clear Qi Profound Art.
The streams of clear Qi were majestic and vigorous. But soon, one of the streams of clear Qi suddenly turned turbid and sank.
As the turbid qi circulated within Yan Zhaoge's meridians, it did not feel sluggish at all, instead resembling the heavy earth as it stood in opposition to the clear qi up above.
Yan Zhaoge nodded slowly, "My original thinking was correct."
As Zhang Xuan pondered, the two streams of Stellar Energy merged back into one. Then, it turned into primal chaos.
Yan Zhaoge stood up, letting out a long breath as the acupoints of his entire body shuddered simultaneously, as though there were innumerable powerful existences within them. They roared and shouted together.
"The Black Nightmare Storm has weakened. It's time to head to the Great West Desert."
As Yan Zhaoge pondered, he left his lodgings, where he saw Ah Hu standing with his hands behind his back, facing the sun.
From an ordinary person's perspective. Ah Hu seemed to be basking in the sun out of boredom.
However, with Yan Zhaoge's eyesight, he could see that Ah Hu's head was moving slightly upwards at a virtually imperceptible speed, changing its angle very slightly.
He kept the space between his eyebrows facing the sun, as if there was an invisible line connecting the sun in the sky and the space between his eyebrows. Straight into the brain.
The sun was high up in the sky, moving across the horizon. Its position was constantly changing, but when it was specific to a certain moment, it looked like it was not moving at all, and the range of changes was extremely small.
However, Ah Hu could keenly and accurately grasp the changes in the gap and adjust the angle of his head.
Seeing Yan Zhaoge emerge, Ah Hu lowered his head, smiling in a simple and honest manner, "Young Master, you've only been in seclusion for a few days this time."
Yan Zhaoge smiled, "There are already results. It would be a waste of time if we continue to waste it. "
Ah Hu's eyes lit up. "Young Master, have you advanced to the Xiantian Late-stage Grandmaster Realm?"
Yan Zhaoge smiled as he nodded, Ah Hu clicking his tongue in praise, "Really fast ah, compared to you, Young Master. The rest of us have all become stupid oxen and wooden horses. "
"Young Master, while you might not be able to break Family Head's record as the youngest Martial Grandmaster in time, in the Martial Scholar realm, your speed of improvement is very likely to be faster than Family Head's."
Yan Zhaoge smiled slightly, "While I am also very satisfied with my own speed of improvement, everything still has to wait until I truly reach the Martial Grandmaster realm."
He looked at Ah Hu, "Instead, it's you-do you have confidence in breaking through into the Martial Grandmaster realm?"
Ah Hu scratched his head, "It feels like, it's still lacking that little bit."
Yan Zhaoge said, "It's fine. After all, it has only been a year since you stepped into the Heavenly Connection stage. However, with your talent and potential, you should already be at that final step, breaking through your current bottleneck and entering a brand new heaven and earth. "
Ah Hu chuckled, "I think so too; I'll be able to catch up to Brother Fei and the others very quickly."
The young geniuses of the various Sacred Grounds who had participated in the Heavenly Connection Meet had all gained quite a bit from it. With the calamity of the Nine Underworlds having occurred afterwards, it had been even more of a rare tempering experience.
After the Heavenly Connection Meet at Clear Concealed Lake, in the half year that Yan Zhaoge had been in secluded cultivation, the others had also been diligently cultivating.
Xue Fei, Tang Yonghao and Song Chao had long since been in the Heavenly Connection stage. Now, they had successively broken through their bottlenecks, stepping into the Martial Grandmaster realm.
From peak Martial Scholars of the Heavenly Connection stage to early Martial Grandmasters, there were naturally still many Martial Grandmaster experts before them.
At this level, even those as strong as Xue Fei and the others had become juniors.
However, having crossed the heavenly chasm from Martial Scholar to Martial Grandmaster, the gazes with which the world looked at them would also gradually change, no longer the gazes with which they had looked at disciples of the younger generation in the past.
Moreover, in comparison to their age and the talent and strength they had displayed at the same cultivation level, it could be foreseen that Xue Fei and the others still had great futures ahead of them.
Just becoming a Martial Grandmaster was merely a new beginning for them, their future bright.
Just like how there was a heavenly chasm from Martial Artist to Martial Scholar, countless people had been stuck at this point for a long time.
From Martial Scholar to Martial Grandmaster, there was similarly a heavenly chasm. Many Martial Scholars stopped at the late Xiantian stage or the Heavenly Connection stage, unable to advance any further, passing the latter half of their lives muddle-headed like this.
As elites of the direct disciples of the various Sacred Grounds, Xue Fei and the others naturally wouldn't have reached such a level. However, being able to become a Martial Grandmaster at just over thirty years of age was still a rare thing. As long as no major accidents occurred, their futures were destined to be limitless.
Yan Zhaoge patted Ah Hu's shoulder, "Let's go; we will head over to the Wind Domain. The various disasters of the Great Western Desert are currently at their weakest."
After reporting to his father Yan Di and his Grand Master Yuan Zhengfeng, Yan Zhaoge brought Ah Hu and his entourage along with him and left the Mountain.
Other than Ah Hu and the others, because of the Cold Marrow Needles, Feng Yunsheng also travelled together. After all, even Yan Zhaoge himself wasn't sure how long he would be away in the Great Western Desert this time.
While the clan's seniors were rather worried that Feng Yunsheng might meet with any mishaps during this journey, the cultivation of a Maiden of Extreme Yin was similarly not something that could be achieved just by cultivating bitterly in the depths of the Mountain. In the end, they still allowed Feng Yunsheng to travel together with them.
Towards Yan Zhaoge, the higher echelon experts of Broad Creed Mountain were currently extremely trusting.
Moreover, along the way, other than the Great Western Desert, they would also be passing through the lands of Broad Creed Mountain, with experts sitting over them.
Leaving the clan, heading west out of the Central Heaven Region, they arrived at the West Heaven Region of the Heaven Domain's Five Regions. Continuing west, they left the boundaries of the Heaven Domain, arriving at the Sand Region of the Wind Domain's Four Regions.
The Sand Region was currently also under Broad Creed Mountain's control, with its First Seat Elder sitting over it.
The Wind Domain's Four Regions, in terms of geography, were aligned vertically from north to south, bordering the Great Western Desert together, forming the vast territory of the Wind Domain.
The Great Western Desert was virtually a forbidden zone for the living. Including the Wind Domain's Sacred Ground of the past, Black Nightmare Mountain, no one had been able to completely control it.
It was rumoured that it was a remnant of the power of the Great Calamity. Therefore, it was filled with calamities and tribulations, even possessing destructive power.
The competition between Broad Creed Mountain, the Sacred Sun Clan and Infinite Boundless Mountain in the Wind Domain was mainly launched against the Wind Domain's Four Regions, keeping a respectful distance from the Great Western Desert.
Yan Zhaoge was rather interested in this place. (To be continued.)
