Gazing into the distance, Yan Zhaoge fell into deep thought.
Sikong Qing looked rather curiously at Yan Zhaoge. Regaining his wits, Yan Zhaoge asked, "I will be heading to the sea of Long Ocean City next."
"I will naturally not approach the battlefield where my Grand Master and the others are clashing with the Flame Devil King. However, I will have to meet the Flame Devils for a while."
Yan Zhaoge looked at Sikong Qing, "Are you returning to the inland or coming with me?"
Sikong Qing's expression was as per usual, "While my cultivation base is low, I would still dare to battle against a Flame Devil with the strength of a Martial Scholar. This time, I came out of seclusion to temper myself. Senior apprentice-brother Yan need not worry about me."
Yan Zhaoge nodded, "Alright, it's fine if you want to stay. In this kind of environment, it's even better for tempering one."
"However, the great battle against the Flame Devils involves many things. It is not a fight between one or two people in one city or one land. Instead, it is close to a war. You have to blend into it. It is best not to act alone. Otherwise, accidents might occur and affect others."
"Senior apprentice-uncle Fu is the current First Seat Elder of East Sea. He should be moving together with Old Man Mo and the others. When you arrive at Long Ocean City, listen to his arrangements."
"Uncle Master Fu also believes that actual combat is a better way to hone people. You don't have to worry about not having the opportunity to gain experience."
Si Kongqing naturally had a sufficient understanding of her Master. Hearing this, she nodded, "En, I understand."
The two of them rode on the wave-treading flying boat and headed east.
On the way, Sikong Qing would also occasionally ask Yan Zhaoge for guidance on some difficult questions regarding martial arts.
While she greatly admired Yan Zhaoge's various achievements, in her heart, what she valued and respected the most was still the martial dao itself.
Not mentioning those miraculous feats, Yan Zhaoge having attained his current cultivation base at his current age could already be considered a miracle in itself.
Sikong Qing had a cold personality, seldom interacting with others. However, over the past few years, she had gradually grown familiar with Yan Zhaoge, greatly admiring him. Therefore, she was rather more casual in front of Yan Zhaoge. If she had any questions regarding martial arts, she would ask Yan Zhaoge for guidance.
Yan Zhaoge was also not stingy in giving pointers to this junior apprentice-sister of his whose martial talent was extremely low.
Although he would not take the initiative to investigate, he was becoming more and more interested in Sikong Qing's secrets. He really wanted to see what heights this girl could reach in the future.
According to the results of his interrogation of that Ouyang Qi, Yan Zhaoge had learnt that Ouyang Qi and Chang Ning's experiences were extremely similar to Sikong Qing's.
In the realm of body refinement martial artists, although they were also outstanding geniuses, they were generally still within the acceptable range of ordinary people.
However, after reaching the Grandmaster Realm, he suddenly exploded, as if he had been reborn.
His already outstanding talent became even more outstanding, and he began to look down on and even crush ordinary geniuses.
However, there were no signs beforehand, and no one was able to find out the reason afterwards.
The Master of Ouyang Qi and Chang Ning, Chen Qi, was not as polite as Yan Zhaoge.
Chen Qi had carefully examined the changes in the bodies of Ouyang Qi and Ye Zichen.
In the end, besides the two of them activating each other and the strange talisman markings that appeared, there was nothing special about it.
Thinking of those strange runes, Yan Zhaoge narrowed his eyes, continuing to ponder.
As the two headed east, having received the message from Yan Zhaoge and Jade Sea City, Ah Hu brought Pan-Pan along as he hurried over to join them.
"Young Master, it's good that you're fine." After meeting, seeing that Yan Zhaoge was fine, Ah Hu first heaved a sigh of relief before asking curiously, "Jade Sea City really forged a Sacred Artifact?"
Yan Zhaoge answered, "That's right, it's a sword artifact known as the Jade Sea Pill Heart Sword, extremely compatible with Jade Sea City's supreme martial art, the Jade Sea Formless Sword. Executing the sword dao of the Jade Sea Formless Sword with this sword, its power is amplified, truly being extraordinary."
He told Ah Hu about the general course of events, picking out the important parts.
While Yan Zhaoge played it down, not specifically boasting about it, Ah Hu still grinned as he heard it, chuckling, "Young Master, you really were too impressive this time!"
"It's definitely this!" Saying thus, Ah Hu gave him a thumbs up.
However, after giving him the thumbs up, Ah Hu hesitated slightly for a moment before saying slowly, "Still, Young Master, Jade Sea City owes you and Broad Creed Mountain too much this time."
"While facing the Flame Devils, we are of the same breath and branch, being interdependent, and should help each other, if not for you and the old Chief this time, Jade Sea City, City Lord Song Wuliang included, would have been wiped out by the Flame Devils in one fell swoop. As one of the exalted six great Sacred Grounds, it might have been directly erased from the Eight Extremities World."
Yan Zhaoge raised his head to look at Ah Hu, "Continue."
Ah Hu scratched his head, "Young Master ah, I don't know any great principles, but I've also heard the old saying that raising rice is gratitude, but fighting rice is enmity."
"Erm, maybe some words don't convey the meaning. It should be called 'great kindness is great enmity' or something like that …"
Ah Hu looked rather worriedly at Yan Zhaoge.
Yan Zhaoge smiled slightly, "I understand what you mean, but there's still no need to worry about it for now."
He turned to look in the direction of Jade Sea City behind him, where the sea and the sky intersected, everything flat as East Dragon Island and Jade Sea City could already no longer be seen.
"Let's first believe that Jade Sea City has the most basic principles and bottom line. Even if they don't …" Yan Zhaoge chuckled, "… even if they don't, as long as the Sacred Sun Clan still exists, this great kindness will not become great enmity."
Hearing his words, a thoughtful expression appeared on Ah Hu's face.
First putting aside the relationship between Jade Sea City and Broad Creed Mountain, there had already been many years of enmity between them and the Sacred Sun Clan.
It was only after that great tribulation of Broad Creed Mountain, when the Sacred Sun Clan had officially stepped on Broad Creed Mountain, with Broad Creed Mountain having lost the Sacred Artifact of the Sacred Sun Heaven Measuring Ruler, that the conflict between the two sides had risen to the point where it was as sharp as that between Jade Sea City and the Sacred Sun Clan.
Before this, for such a long time, the most famous enemies of the Eight Extremities World had been Jade Sea City and the Sacred Sun Clan, one water and one fire, the enmity between the two sides having already developed to the point where it was basically irreconcilable.
That year, when Huang Guanglie's Master, the Purple Sun Martial Saint Zhang Chao, had been awe-inspiring, it had been the most difficult period in Jade Sea City's history.
Sitting quietly by the side, Sikong Qing also gazed in the direction of Jade Sea City.
Yan Zhaoge asked, "Is there any news?"
Ah Hu answered, "The Lord of the Heavenly Thunder Hall Shen Li and the Sacred Sun Clan's Huang Guanglie both arrived on the Outer East Sea earlier, stabilizing their footing along with the Painting Saint Old Man Mo and Meng Wan who wields the Extreme Yin Crown, blocking the Flame Devils at the border between the region of sea of Long Ocean City and the Outer East Sea."
"Infinite Boundless Mountain's Chief Chu brought the Sacred Artifact, the Heaven Cleaving Axe, and arrived by the coast of the mainland, remaining in the western region of the Water Domain to sit over it."
Hearing his words, Yan Zhaoge nodded slightly, "Huang Guanglie, Old Man Mo, Grand Master and the Clear Qi Robe, Song Wuliang and the Jade Sea Pill Heart Sword."
"Adding in Turbid Wave Pavilion's Pavilion Lord An, the Extreme Yin Crown and the Heavenly Thunder Hall's Shen Li … right, it should be enough to at least suppress this wave of attacks by the Flame Devils, unless there are any other major changes."
Yan Zhaoge took out his nine ice shards, "If the environment permits it, I can try it."
