Jade Sea City needed to repair their Guardian Grand Formation, and their City Lord Song Wuliang also needed to recuperate from his injuries in seclusion.
With this extremely rare chance, the Sacred Sun Clan and the Heavenly Thunder Hall suppressed the Water Domain, launching an offensive.
Broad Creed Mountain and Infinite Boundless Mountain both acted decisively, obstructing the advance of the Sacred Sun Clan and the Heavenly Thunder Hall.
As a result, the battle had just begun when it was interrupted by external factors.
As a large scale abnormality erupted in the Earth Domain once more, the Sacred Grounds had no choice but to temporarily set aside their enmity, first turning their spearheads towards the common enemy of the entire Eight Extremities World.
Some of the experts of the various families stayed behind to monitor and guard the region, while others returned to their own mountain gates to make various arrangements.
Returning to Broad Creed Mountain, Yan Zhaoge first saw his father, Yan Di.
"Little swallow looking for his mother, failed," Yan Zhaoge's first words left Yan Di not knowing whether to laugh or to cry.
Although he still couldn't accurately understand the deeper level of bad taste in Yan Zhaoge's words, he could still understand the literal meaning.
Yan Di sighed, "Yunsheng and Longtu have already told me the gist of the matter. Such a result is also something that cannot be helped."
After sighing, Yan Di's gaze turned sharp once more, "World beyond Worlds, heh!"
Yan Zhaoge smiled, "At least from the looks of it now, mother should be fine. While the affairs of the world are hard to predict, from the tone of her message, it was still rather casual."
"Still, we can't let our guard down. If everything was really fine, she wouldn't have come to the Floating Life World a second time without showing herself, not even meeting Aunt Yun."
His hands behind his back, Yan Di gazed towards the distant southeast, in the direction of the Lake Domain.
Yan Zhaoge said, "Counting the days, the Ten Character Heavenly Rainbow should already have vanished by now. Still, having obtained the Lofty Prestige Mirror left behind by my mother, I think that it might be of greater use to me. It is just that if the World beyond Worlds is really as difficult to enter as mother says, the Lofty Prestige Mirror might not be enough. "
Yan Di nodded silently, retracting his distant gaze after a while as he said in a heavy tone, "If it is as you say, the Lofty Prestige Mirror has many miraculous uses, you should pay more attention to it then."
"Xue Fei, Shi Jun, and the others are all alone outside. This is indeed a worrying matter."
Hearing his words, Yan Zhaoge nodded solemnly, "Please rest assured."
After pausing for a moment, Yan Zhaoge continued, "There's still one more thing. I unintentionally obtained a formation diagram earlier. It is not a formation like the Clear Qi Grand Formation or the Jade Sea Limitless Grand Formation that relies on geography. Instead, it is a formation diagram of a battle formation, known as the Taiyi Imperial Breaking Formation."
Yan Di's gaze hardened slightly, "Oh?"
Yan Zhaoge nodded, "I never mentioned it to you before because the difficulty of setting up this formation is too high."
"First of all, we need at least four experts of the second level of the Martial Saint realm to form the formation. The higher their cultivation base, the better. If we really can't gather all of them, we can just barely make do with a first level Martial Saint and a Sacred Artifact."
"Secondly, I need a large amount of Grand Spirit Stones to refine the auxiliary formation weapons.
Yan Zhaoge said, "The latter problem is actually even more difficult than the former. After all, Grand Spirit Stone Essence is already extinct in the Eight Extremities World. However, having inadvertently gone to the Floating Life World this time, I instead obtained a large amount of Grand Spirit Stone Essence. With that, this problem was easily solved."
Yan Di asked, "Therefore, we have to face the first problem now?"
Yan Zhaoge said bluntly, "If the situation really is urgent and we need to gather enough people, this is also something that can't be helped. Otherwise, I naturally wouldn't want to include the Sacred Sun Clan's Huang Guanglie. After all, we are irreconcilable enemies with the Sacred Sun Clan."
Yan Di's expression was as per usual, "Our clan definitely won't be able to gather enough people within a short period of time. Now that you have proposed this formation, your target should also be the Earth Domain or the Flame Devil World, right?"
Yan Zhaoge answered, "It is precisely so."
"Master with the Clear Qi Robe, City Lord Song with the Jade Sea Pill Heart Sword, and also Old Man Mo …" Yan Di raised his head slightly, "There is an empty spot."
He swivelled his head to look at Yan Zhaoge, "No eggs remain intact when the nest is overturned. At a critical moment, we must unite against external enemies. If the situation really is urgent, we can only count Huang Guanglie in."
Yan Zhaoge nodded slowly, "You can rest easy. I will make additional preparations. Of course, there is nothing wrong with uniting against external enemies. Still, we cannot let our guard down. We all know about the Sacred Sun Clan's conduct."
Yan Di pondered for a moment before saying, "The Earth Domain can still temporarily maintain stability for a period of time, right?"
Seeing this, Yan Zhaoge knew that Yan Di might have some sort of plan.
At times like this, an accurate explanation was needed to facilitate Yan Di's judgement.
Therefore, after pondering very seriously for a moment, Yan Zhaoge answered, "Grand Master, second apprentice-uncle and I all unanimously believe that as long as there are no major changes, there shouldn't be any problems within a short period of time."
"My personal judgment is that there should be no worries for the next half a year."
After hearing this, Yan Di's gaze turned resolute, "Inform your Grand Master that I will be entering secluded cultivation in the next few days. According to my own estimates, this secluded cultivation might take more than a year's time."
Yan Zhaoge was first shocked before his spirits rose, "Father, you …"
Yan Di nodded, "I have remained at the ninth level of the Martial Grandmaster realm, the late Essence Talisman stage, for a rather long time, having accumulated more experience."
"After stepping into the Transcending Mortality stage, I battled with three Martial Saints, the Devil Saint Yuan Tian, the East Coming Martial Saint Huang Guanglie and the Green Thunder Martial Saint Shen Li. Usually, I also sparred with Master, having more or less gained some insights."
"Afterwards, there was also that crimson pagoda that you brought back from the East Sea. Comprehending the concept within, I benefited greatly."
"Having returned from the Floating Life World this time, listening to you describe the cultivation of demonic bloodline cultivators, I was able to comprehend them by analogy."
Yan Di said quietly, "With so much experience, I want to give it a try."
If this news were to spread, it would probably shake the entire Eight Extremities World.
After all, Yan Di had only just stepped into the Transcending Mortality stage during the great battle of Broad Creed Mountain earlier. Breaking through into the Martial Saint realm within such a short period of time would truly cause all the other Transcending Mortality Martial Grandmasters to wish they could die from embarrassment.
Yuan Zhengfeng had been injured, first not mentioning it.
Xin Dongping had fallen to the dark side, not having sufficient confidence in taking that final step.
While Yan Di had said that he wanted to give it a try, with his current cultivation base, he had an extremely accurate grasp of himself.
Daring to give it a try, while he might not be certain of success, he would still have some confidence.
This was related to Yan Di having intentionally suppressed his footsteps somewhat when he had been at the ninth level of the Martial Grandmaster realm, the late Essence Talisman stage.
Even Yan Zhaoge who understood the situation felt slightly taken aback at this moment. His father was indeed not comparable to ordinary people.
However, amidst feeling happy for his father, Yan Zhaoge was not completely relaxed.
While Yan Di's speed surpassed the imagination of ordinary people, he might still not be able to make it in time.
While the current Yan Di had yet to enter the Martial Saint realm, he was already equivalent to a Martial Saint expert. Currently being troubled times, if something happened while Yan Di was in secluded cultivation and he was unable to participate in the battle, it would affect him greatly.
However, time waited for no man. The opponents that the Eight Extremities World might face were not just the Earth Domain and the Nine Underworlds. There was also the Flame Devils!
Yan Zhaoge said solemnly, "I wish you success in advance." (To be continued.)
