Yan Zhaoge looked at that ice sculpture of the snow crane, which was lifelike and elegant.
Beneath the ice sculpture of the snow crane was also a jade bracelet which also had the image of a snow crane on it, looking to be of the same set as his own snow crane hairpin.
Su Yun said, "I've let Young Master see a joke. This was left behind by Lady that year, and I've always kept it as a memento. If Young Master wants to take it away …"
Yan Zhaoge smiled, "How could I? This was left behind by Mother for you, Aunt Yun. Also, Aunt Yun, you can just call me Zhaoge. "
Su Yun smiled, raising her palm lightly. That ice sculpture of the snow crane emitted a bright glow before rising into the air.
Amidst the glow, numerous spirit patterns intermingled, forming a small-scale formation which slowly opened up space, leading to a small-scale foreign dimension.
Yan Zhaoge knew that this should be the Snow Crane Sect's forbidden ground or Sacred Ground.
Entering alongside Su Yun, a massive mountain rock appeared within the foreign dimension.
Yan Zhaoge's gaze hardened slightly as he gazed at the mountain rock, seeing a large amount of strangely shaped characters inscribed upon it.
"Oh … something like a secret code." Yan Zhaoge's thoughts flashed at lightning speed as he recalled that before he had left Broad Creed Mountain back then, his father Yan Di had once told him many things.
These things might not actually all be useful, but Yan Di also didn't know what exactly his son might encounter. Therefore, there was no harm in being prepared as he poured out everything that might be useful to Yan Zhaoge.
After pondering for a moment, Yan Zhaoge extended his palm, infusing his true essence within the mountain rock.
The characters on the mountain rock began rapidly changing.
Yan Zhaoge extended his other hand, writing within the air with his finger. Numerous silhouettes seemed to have been inscribed onto the surface of the mountain rock, merging as one with the original spirit patterns.
Su Yun looked at this scene rather curiously.
After a while, Yan Zhaoge ceased his actions, the silhouettes intersecting and changing before finally coming to a halt.
Meanwhile, the characters left behind on the surface of the mountain rock had already completely changed.
Looking at those lines of characters, Yan Zhaoge nodded slowly, "While there are some differences, they are extremely similar to the characters of before the Great Calamity, being even more ancient than the ones of the Eight Extremities World and the Floating Life World, their lineage is clearer."
Yan Zhaoge smiled. In his few memories, this mother of his had been extremely happy to delve into ancient texts and ancient characters.
His interest in ancient texts and characters stemmed from what his mother, Xue Chuqing, had seen and heard when he was young.
Perhaps this language that was extremely similar to the common language of pre-Great Calamity times was what Xue Chuqing had been used to before coming to the Floating Life World and the Eight Extremities World.
Yan Zhaoge compared it to what he knew and had learnt while carefully studying the records left behind on the stone.
"Why can't you just say it directly? Do you have to go through so many twists and turns? If it's really inappropriate and inconvenient to talk about it, there's no need to leave a message, right? "
Yan Zhaoge pondered within his heart before analysing the characters on the stone, his expression becoming increasingly strange the more he read.
"There are a total of two paths to the World beyond Worlds …"
"The most basic method is to reach the fourth level of the Martial Saint realm, surpassing the limits of the great thousand worlds …"
"Why don't you learn from me? With an artifact that can stabilize the Dimension Rift to protect yourself, you'll be able to search for the Wounds of the Sky …"
The corners of Yan Zhaoge's mouth twitched unceasingly, "This tone, why does it sound like you're reminding me to bring an umbrella when it's raining outside?"
"Also, this isn't a very important matter, but you suddenly remembered that you had forgotten to mention it, therefore casually leaving a message behind. What's with that feeling?"
Yan Zhaoge sighed, "Father, what kind of wife did you find that year …"
"Still …" Yan Zhaoge's gaze turned slightly solemn, "World beyond Worlds … Wounds of the Sky … What exactly has the original world become after the Great Calamity?"
Yan Zhaoge stroked his lower chin, pondering as a hint of a smile gradually appeared at the corners of his mouth, "I'm getting more and more interested."
After pondering for a moment, Yan Zhaoge retracted his thoughts.
He already had a general idea of the contents of the characters on the stone. Still, Yan Zhaoge did not retract his palm as he instead continued infusing his true essence within.
After a while, a change suddenly occurred on the stone. The originally tough stone suddenly became like soft mud.
The stone caved in, forming a circular indentation.
Yan Zhaoge observed the size of the indentation before taking out that half-round mirror that he had obtained when he had first arrived in the Floating Life World.
When they had come over, they had been drawn in by the mechanism that his mother Xue Chuqing had left behind. This half-round mirror was the core of that mechanism.
After activating the mechanism, this half-round mirror had temporarily lost its effects. Yan Zhaoge had always kept it by his side, hoping to find some clues to find the other half of the mirror.
At this moment, this half-round mirror was accurately embedded within that circular indentation, occupying half of its space.
Looking over, Yan Zhaoge saw that flowing water was actually gradually forming out of nowhere within the other half of the empty indentation, filling it up.
Numerous scenes seemed to flicker on the surface of the water. Still, they were not stable enough as they were strange and dazzling, making it hard for one to clearly see them.
Yan Zhaoge crossed his arms before his chest, "It looks like I'll have to wait for some time."
Su Yun had been quietly waiting by the side all this time. Looking at Yan Zhaoge, a warm smile appeared at the corners of her lips as she seemed to see Xue Chuqing whom she had once served and followed on Yan Zhaoge's body.
Yan Zhaoge swivelled his head, "Aunt Yun, it looks like I'll still have to trouble you for some time."
Su Yun smiled, "Young Master can stay as long as he wants."
Yan Zhaoge asked, "Right, Aunt Yun, are things like Grand Spirit Stones very common in the Floating Life World?"
Su Yun said, "They can't be said to be common, but their production is still not bad."
Yan Zhaoge pondered for a moment before asking, "Where can I find them?"
Su Yun answered, "The mines are rather scattered. There aren't any especially large ones, all of them being small and medium-sized, scattered all over the place."
Yan Zhaoge nodded slowly.
Now, a voice suddenly resounded from outside, "Mother."
"It's my daughter, Shen Rong." Su Yun first explained to Yan Zhaoge, who smiled and nodded, "I'll go out with you. Please don't let anyone else in for the time being, Aunt Yun."
Su Yun said, "That is only natural."
Leaving the flowing water by the cliff to accumulate on its own, Yan Zhaoge and Su Yun exited the foreign dimension together, returning to the Snow Crane Sect's ancestral temple in the outside world.
A girl in her twenties was waiting there, looking extremely similar to Su Yun.
Seeing Yan Zhaoge, Shen Rong's gaze was rather curious. Still, she still first bowed, "Shen Rong greets … Young Master."
From the way she addressed him, it was clear that she had already received instructions from her father, Shen Nuo. Also, even though she had already married into Green Dragon Mountain, Su Yun's status in her heart was extremely high. At the very least, she did not dare to act rashly in the slightest in front of Su Yun.
Yan Zhaoge smiled, greeting her, "No need to be so polite. I'm older than you; you can just call me Brother."
Su Yun asked, "Rong 'er, is there something over at Green Dragon Mountain?"
Shen Rong nodded, "Yes. Father-in-law and the others have already received news of the arrival of Brother Yan's group. Father-in-law sent me and Husband over to send a letter, inviting you and senior apprentice-brother Yan to Green Dragon Mountain together."
