The Painting Saint, Old Man Mo, was detached from worldly affairs and had never interfered in the disputes between the six sacred grounds.
However, there was no one in the entire Eight Extremities World who would doubt his position as an expert.
Even if the young man had limited knowledge of the Martial Saint, he still knew the importance of a Martial Saint.
The leaders of the various Holy Lands knew very well how powerful this old expert, who was from the same generation as Heavenly Venerate Han, Sky Diviner, and Purple Sun Martial Saint, was.
As the most senior expert of the current Eight Extremities World, Old Man Mo did not act, but when he did, it was extraordinary.
The ferocity of the Flame Devils' invasion this time far exceeded everyone's expectations, such that the entire Outer East Sea was lost.
Not just a single Flame Devil King equivalent to the second level of the Martial Saint realm had intruded into the Eight Extremities World, the Pavilion Lord of Turbid Wave Pavilion An Qinglin who had first arrived at the Outer East Sea having been directly heavily injured.
It was fortunate that Old Man Mo had arrived in time. Otherwise, An Qinglin might have perished in the Outer East Sea in the face of the enemy's most ferocious and unexpected first wave of attacks.
Afterwards, with Old Man Mo as the central pillar of support, he delayed the advance of the Flame Devils and did not fall into chaos. He reconstructed a defensive line at the border between the Inner East Sea and the Outer East Sea, persevering until the other experts of the Human Race arrived to reinforce them, laying the foundations for their counterattack.
It was during this period of time that Old Man Mo was surrounded and attacked by many Flame Devils, thus being injured.
However, he still participated in the counterattack against the Outer East Sea despite his injuries.
As the Fire Pith Veins of the Earth Veins erupted, the flames boiling the East Sea, Old Man Mo persisted in not retreating as he joined forces with Yuan Zhengfeng and the others to deal with the Flame Devils, all the way until the final, all-out attack that chased the Flame Devils out of the Eight Extremities World.
After Huang Guanglie had broken through to the second level of the Martial Saint realm and successfully advanced a step further, many people believed that he might be the current number one expert of the Eight Extremities World.
However, after the battle of the East Sea, Old Man Mo, who had always been elusive and unfathomable, finally went all out.
Letting the world know that while he was currently the person with the highest cultivation base in the six great Sacred Grounds, Huang Guanglie was still not the number one expert of the entire Eight Extremities World.
Therefore, it was easy to imagine the weight of a top expert like Old Man Mo's words.
In particular, this old man's age was such that even Yuan Zhengfeng, Huang Guanglie, and the others were his juniors.
His praise towards Yan Zhaoge did not have the feeling of looking down on him from a higher position. Instead, it carried some ardent anticipation.
Everyone knew that other than Broad Creed Mountain's Exalted Heaven Shaker Zhan Dongge and the Heaven Diviner Zhan Xilou, whether of the same generation or the younger generation, Old Man Mo was a man of few words, never commenting on those of the six great Sacred Grounds.
But now, such a high praise fell on a young man in his twenties.
What caused everyone to have mixed feelings was that when they heard Old Man Mo's words, even though they were surprised, none of them had the intention to object.
It wasn't because of Old Man Mo's strength and status, but because there was indeed nothing to object to.
"A Great Rider of Dragons, a single hand supporting the heavens; Broad Creed Mountain's Yan Zhaoge's future is limitless."
Everyone slowly digested this sentence. Although there were many thoughts in their minds, they all faintly felt that it was only natural.
This kind of natural feeling made many people feel even more complicated.
Not only did the Painting Saint, Old Man Mo, return to Verdant Pill Island, but the other human cultivators who had rushed to the East Sea to participate in the battle also returned to their own sects.
Turbid Wave Pavilion's Pavilion Lord An Qinglin did not need to be said. Like Old Man Mo, she had also been participating in the battle with injuries, forcibly holding on. Upon returning to Turbid Wave Pavilion this time, she would probably immediately enter secluded cultivation to recuperate.
The Sacred Sun Clan's Huang Guanglie and the Heavenly Thunder Hall's Shen Li were both in rather good states. Still, they did not linger for long, each returning to their own Mountains.
After hearing the Heaven Striking Lord's report, Huang Guanglie did not speak, just looking first at Yan Zhaoge and then at Yuan Zhengfeng beside him before turning and leaving.
The Lord of the Heavenly Thunder Hall, Shen Li, glanced at Yan Zhaoge with a rather complicated expression on his face, a probing look appearing in the depths of his gaze before he too left with the other Heavenly Thunder Hall martial practitioners.
The Lord of Jade Sea City, the Jade Sea Martial Saint Song Wuliang, had brought along his newly forged Sacred Artifact, the Jade Sea Pill Heart Sword, to battle in the Outer East Sea.
With the abnormalities in the fire veins and the Flame Devils having the home advantage, Song Wuliang had battled a Flame Devil King equivalent to a second level Martial Saint, having been injured.
With the great battle having ended, he had to return to Jade Sea City to recuperate.
With the invasion of the Flame Devils this time, Jade Sea City had directly faced their vanguard. Of the six great Sacred Grounds, they had suffered the most severe damage, having nearly been destroyed.
Fortunately, the Jade Sea Pill Heart Sword had appeared, preserving Jade Sea City's vitality. However, with their clan virtually having been destroyed and Song Wuliang injured, they would also need time to recover their vitality.
The aftermath of the battle on the East Sea had mostly been handled by Jade Sea City.
However, whether it was the great tribulation of Jade Sea City earlier or the final battle on the Outer East Sea afterwards, all of Jade Sea City had been extremely grateful towards Yan Zhaoge.
"I will be returning to Jade Sea City now, needing to recuperate. I'm afraid that I will not be able to receive you well. When I have recovered from my injuries and emerged from seclusion, I hope that Senior Heaven Equalling Saint and Little Friend Yan can come to my Jade Sea City as guests," Before parting, Jade Sea City's City Lord Song Wuliang personally extended an invitation to Yan Zhaoge and Yuan Zhengfeng.
If it had been anyone else, others would most likely have thought that he was inviting Yuan Zhengfeng, with Yan Zhaoge merely being a member of the younger generation in passing.
However, everyone here knew that at this moment, Yan Zhaoge was similarly a guest that Song Wuliang had invited personally.
Of the entire Broad Creed Mountain, other than Yuan Zhengfeng and the current Chief Yan Di, there was only Yan Zhaoge who was currently here, who could be personally invited by Jade Sea City's City Lord Song Wuliang.
Yuan Zhengfeng smiled, "There will definitely be a chance in the future."
Yan Zhaoge smiled, answering, "City Lord Song is polite. I hope that I will be able to receive your guidance in the future."
After taking his leave of Song Wuliang, Yan Zhaoge, Yuan Zhengfeng and the others also embarked on their return journey.
Accompanying them were also Fu Enshu, Sikong Qing and the other Broad Creed Mountain martial practitioners.
While the Flame Devils had been repelled, the threat still existed. The various Sacred Grounds would still station experts here at the Outer East Sea, guarding against the Flame Devils' invasion once more.
Having been heavily injured in this battle, Fu Enshu returned to the Mountain along with Yan Zhaoge, Yuan Zhengfeng and the others to recuperate. The position of East Sea's First Seat Elder would naturally be taken over by other longtime Elders of the clan.
"I'm afraid that ever since our clan had the position of East Sea's First Seat Elder, I have been in office for the shortest period of time," Fu Enshu shook her head, smiling rather self-deprecatingly.
Yuan Zhengfeng said, "Indeed, I have been in office for the shortest period of time. If possible, Master would also not wish for it to be like this. However, it is not that I am unwilling to see you return to the Mountain. Instead, it means that there are no major battles on the Outer East Sea, with the Flame Devils not causing as much trouble as they did this time."
Fu Enshu nodded, "This disciple also does not wish to resign and leave the East Sea because of my injuries."
Yan Zhaoge said, "This time, it is because of me that senior apprentice-aunt Fu is fighting to the death against the Flame Devils."
Fu Enshu said nonchalantly, "Being able to quell the chaos of the Flame Devils is the most important thing."
Yan Zhaoge looked thoughtful, "The invasion of the Flame Devils this time has been repelled, but its influence on the overall situation of the Eight Extremities World is long-term. I'm afraid that it has only just begun."
