When Shi Tie's grandson, Shi Songtao's son, Shi Jun, had been born that year, Yan Di had been present as well, watching the little fella grow from an infant in swaddling clothes to learning to walk on his own.
The little fellow's name was given by Yuan Zhengfeng.
All of Broad Creed Mountain paid close attention to the sole descendant left behind by Shi Tie.
Yan Di looked at Yan Zhaoge, "What do you have in mind, what do you need?"
Yan Zhaoge answered earnestly, "My thoughts are still not mature yet. I intend to make a trip to the Extreme Northern Lands, only coming to a conclusion after I have gone there and investigated the area."
"However, I can't rush it for the time being. The Northernmost Land is currently in the freezing period. It's useless even if I go there. I can take advantage of this period of time to carefully make some preparations. At the same time, I can ponder over my own method."
"There are some things that I need you and the sect to help me gather. It involves negotiations with other holy lands outside of the Heaven Domain. I will give you a list later."
While Yan Zhaoge had the authority to make use of the clan's resources, it would be better for Yan Di and the others to appear when it came to foreign matters.
Now that Yan Zhaoge's name could also be considered to have spread far and wide, it would be very easy for others to notice him if he were to look for some things with his personal identity.
Yan Di nodded, "Pass the list to me directly after it has been compiled."
"Heading to the Extreme Northern Lands this time, I also intend to go to the North Sea to take a look," Yan Zhaoge said.
Yan Di thought of something as his gaze flickered, "You want to find the legacy left behind by the Glacial Dragon Martial Saint?"
Yan Zhaoge nodded, "I've already made some headway on the clues that I've grasped earlier. In the following days, I might be able to gain something from them. If I can obtain even more clues from this, it should be something worth looking forward to."
Now, the expressions of Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di both dimmed somewhat.
Back then, Shi Tie had obtained the small metal plate from Ye Jing's hands because he had gone to the Northern Sea to search for clues left behind by the Glacial Dragon Martial Saint.
After Shi Tie returned, he brought back some things regarding the Earth Domain and the Nine Underworlds, as well as some clues regarding the Glacial Dragon Martial Saint's remains.
As Yan Zhaoge analysed the Decimating Abyss's Devilish Domain Grand Formation, other than clashing with it time and time again, the things that Shi Tie had brought back had also played a considerable role.
However, the Master of the Decimating Abyss, Xin Dongping, who had yet to be exposed at that time, naturally also benefited from it.
Yan Di said, "The Glacial Dragon Martial Saint has fallen far too long ago. While the whereabouts of his accompanying Sacred Artifact are unknown, no one can be certain that it truly exists in this world. If you wish to search for it, I will not object. Still, do not lose your bearings."
Yan Zhaoge said, "Rest easy, father. I understand."
Pausing for a moment, Yan Zhaoge said softly, "The legacy of the Glacial Dragon Martial Saint is indeed something that cannot be confirmed. Therefore, I did not place all my bets on it."
"To be precise, this is just incidental, or even a cover-up."
Yan Di raised his brows slightly, "Oh?"
Yan Zhaoge said, "Having been attacked by the Sacred Sun Clan and the Heavenly Thunder Hall this time, all face can be considered to have been completely torn apart. Now that the situation has calmed down, it is merely because the two sides have regained their equilibrium in strength."
"The other party is powerful and will definitely make things difficult for our sect again."
Ever since Huang Guanglie's Master, the Purple Sun Martial Saint Zhang Chao, and the final Chief of Black Nightmare Mountain had attempted to invade Broad Creed Mountain while the Exalted Heaven Shaker Zhan Dongge was in secluded cultivation, enmity had already been formed between the two sides.
Afterwards, due to Zhan Dongge's death in the great battle with the Flame Devils, Broad Creed Mountain suffered a great blow to its vitality. As the Sacred Sun Clan gradually grew in power, Broad Creed Mountain's days had not been that easy.
Fortunately, the Heaven Diviner Zhan Xilou had led Broad Creed Mountain in concealing their strength and biding their time, passing through that darkest period of time.
However, after Zhan Xilou's death, Broad Creed Mountain no longer had a Martial Saint, their days becoming difficult once more.
While the whereabouts of the Sacred Sun Clan's Purple Sun Martial Saint Zhang Chao were also unknown, Huang Guanglie having Transcended Mortality and entered Sainthood, with the Great Sun Heaven Measuring Ruler in hand, his sharpness was just too great.
While Yuan Zhengfeng was strong, and Broad Creed Mountain still had the Clear Qi Robe to hold down its foundation, they could only rely on the Clear Qi Grand Formation, having no worries in defending, unable to advance as the Sacred Sun Clan could call on the wind and summon the rain, devouring and infiltrating step by step.
At that time, Jade Sea City had been pincered by the Heavenly Thunder Hall and the Flame Devils of the East Sea, with Infinite Boundless Mountain having remained on the sidelines, Broad Creed Mountain had been under immense pressure.
Otherwise, Fang Zhun would not have set his sights on the Earth Domain.
In the end, Fang Zhun managed to rein in the horse at the brink of the precipice, allowing Xin Dongping to continue walking down that path.
Huang Guanglie, intent on completely stabilising the Eight Extremities World, had therefore entered secluded cultivation in search of another breakthrough. Only then had Broad Creed Mountain gained a greater amount of space to move about.
However, they had never once relaxed their hearts. If Huang Guanglie successfully emerged from seclusion, their momentum would definitely be even greater, and the Sacred Sun Clan would also become even more powerful.
However, the situation was completely different now.
Yuan Zhengfeng had Transcended Mortality and entered Sainthood. While Huang Guanglie had also improved, he had lost the Great Sun Heaven Measuring Ruler.
Currently, with Yuan Zhengfeng and the Clear Qi Robe watching over Broad Creed Mountain, Huang Guanglie would definitely not dare to trample on them again.
If Huang Guanglie was alive, wanting to take down the World Illuminating Peak would also be impossible.
If the two sides met elsewhere, Yuan Zhengfeng with the Clear Qi Robe would still hold an advantage.
The two sides were allies, Jade Sea City and Infinite Boundless Mountain, two against one, with the Heavenly Thunder Hall sandwiched between them.
Now, it was Broad Creed Mountain's turn to oppress the Sacred Sun Clan, settling old scores.
It was just that following Yuan Zhengfeng Transcending Mortality and entering Sainthood, Broad Creed Mountain's strength skyrocketing. Faced with this ally who was clearly a level higher than them, while Jade Sea City and Infinite Boundless Mountain had to rely on Yuan Zhengfeng to keep Huang Guanglie in check, it was also unknown what exactly they were thinking.
The Sacred Sun Clan's foundation was similarly deep, its strength vigorous. For Broad Creed Mountain to completely crush them and take revenge for their previous attack, it would still not be easy.
The situation in the Eight Extremities World had fallen into a dangerous yet fragile equilibrium.
Yan Zhaoge said, "In order to obtain victory in a competition, there are only two directions we can work towards: either strengthening ourselves, or weakening our enemies."
"If there is a major discovery of the Glacial Dragon Martial Saint's legacy, being able to bring about a great increase in our clan's strength, that would naturally be good. However, this matter still cannot be confirmed at the end of the day."
A cold light flickered within Yan Zhaoge's eyes, "It is impolite not to reciprocate. I will send the Sacred Sun Clan a gift in return."
Yan Di said calmly, "Dealing with Huang Guanglie is not easy, even if he no longer has the Great Sun Heaven Measuring Ruler."
Huang Guanglie was unquestionably the current pillar of the Sacred Sun Clan. With him injured, the Sacred Sun Clan's strength would immediately fall.
However, at the same time, even having been badly battered and bloodied at Broad Creed Mountain just now, Huang Guanglie's strength was still indisputable.
In terms of personal strength, having successfully advanced a step further in seclusion this time, Huang Guanglie could basically already be considered the current number one expert of the Eight Extremities World.
Yuan Zhengfeng, without the Clear Qi Robe, was also inferior in comparison.
In the battle of Broad Creed Mountain, it was also because of Yuan Zhengfeng that Yan Zhaoge's killing formation had been effective, causing Huang Guanglie to lose the Great Sun Heaven Measuring Ruler.
Yan Di asked, "You want to target their Maiden of Extreme Yin?"
Yan Zhaoge shook his head, "Huang Guanglie himself, as well as Meng Wan, are their strongest points. While Meng Wan's cultivation base is low, her advantage in the Extreme Yin Bout is too great. They will now value her even more, focusing on protecting her, even planning to assassinate our Junior Apprentice-Sister Feng. This is currently where their greatest concentration of strength lies."
Yan Zhaoge narrowed his eyes slightly into slits, "I want to strike where they are weak, where they cannot anticipate."
