Bai Ziming felt somewhat confused, unable to understand the deeper meaning behind Qi Wei's words.
He was not someone of the World beyond Worlds, instead hailing from a lower world as he had ascended to the World beyond Worlds after attaining the fourth level of the Martial Saint realm, the early Seeing Divinity stage.
In his world, he had never heard of the Extreme Yang Seal.
However, this did not prevent him from realizing the importance of it.
Just by looking at the sudden change in Zheng Ming's expression on the Riding Wind Heavenly Vessel, one could tell that this was different from the rest.
Meanwhile, by Zheng Ming's side, Wen Luoxia and Ye Xin were first at a loss, but very quickly came to a realisation as they looked at Yan Zhaoge with shocked expressions.
In the valley down below, hearing those words, Chen Zhiliang was similarly greatly shocked as he virtually unconsciously turned to look at the Riding Wind Heavenly Vessel in mid-air.
When Bai Ziming saw Zheng Ming's appearance, he thought to himself, This is similar to how he looked when he first heard about the Sky Bearing Efficate Array …
The old man grew vigilant, the envy and greed within his gaze as he looked at Yan Zhaoge completely disappearing, replaced by extreme caution.
Bai Ziming felt that just like how Kang Ping and the others had set up the Heaven Bearing Efficate Formation, Yan Zhaoge too possessed a great secret. If he were to get swept up in it and be careless, his fate would be dire.
"Exalted Solar Luminary …" Yan Zhaoge narrowed his eyes slightly.
The first scene that surfaced within his mind was that fist-intent which had remained within the Extreme Yang Seal when he had collected it in the Earth Domain of the Eight Extremities World that year.
The fist intent condensed into the appearance of a young man, but his appearance could not be seen clearly.
This person should be the original owner of the Extreme Yang Seal, as well as the one who forged this high-grade Sacred Artifact.
He was the Exalted Solar Luminary that Qi Wei and the others had mentioned?
There seemed to be quite a few people in the World beyond Worlds who knew about it.
Yan Zhaoge noticed the gazes that Zheng Ming, Wen Luoxia, Ye Xin and the others were looking at him.
After pondering for a moment, he smiled, "I do know of the Extreme Yang Seal. However, I have never heard of the great name of the Exalted Solar Luminary. I have made a fool of myself."
The expressions of Zheng Ming and the others immediately became strange.
They exchanged looks as Wen Luoxia could not help but ask, "This … Young Master Yan, could it be that you are not someone of the World beyond Worlds, instead hailing from a lower world?"
Yan Zhaoge nodded candidly, "It is precisely so. I coincidentally had a small fortuitous encounter which brought me to this World beyond Worlds."
Wen Luoxia still wanted to say something, but when she saw Zheng Ming's solemn gaze, she swallowed her words again.
Zheng Ming said slowly, "Has Little Friend Yan not heard of the great name of the Exalted Solar Luminary?"
Yan Zhaoge spread his palms apart, answering, "I know of the Extreme Yang Seal and the Extreme Yang Scripture. Still, I have indeed never heard of the name of the Exalted Solar Luminary before."
Seeing that his expression did not seem to be fake, Zheng Ming's gaze became even stranger.
"You even know about the Sun God Scripture, but not the name of the Exalted Solar Luminary?" Zheng Ming muttered to himself.
He looked at Kang Ping in the valley down below. Just now, Kang Ping had attempted to kill Yan Zhaoge right in front of their faces.
Was it because Kang Ping knew that Yan Zhaoge actually had no direct connection with the original owner of the Extreme Yang Seal that he had no qualms about doing so, or was it that the one behind Kang Ping had always been targeting the Exalted Solar Luminary?
If it was the former, it meant that Kang Ping was purely taking revenge on Yan Zhaoge, finding some trouble for him.
If it was the latter, then the situation was even more complicated.
What kind of figure was the Exalted Solar Luminary Gao Han? He was a peak expert who had established the current state of the World beyond Worlds and revived Daoism. It was said that he had survived the Great Calamity.
When he had last appeared over a thousand years ago, his cultivation base had already been higher than that of the one behind Kang Ping.
If he were still alive today, barring any major accidents, he would be even more powerful.
Even that major figure behind Kang Ping would not be able to withstand him!
Yet, Kang Ping had still tried to kill Yan Zhaoge just now. Zheng Ming felt that he was a cautious and rational person who should not have made a move due to a moment of rage.
Even Zheng Ming felt a chill run down his spine at the possibility of what might have been behind this.
Of course, it could also be that Kang Ping had intentionally done so, using this as a bluff.
It was just that with this, Yan Zhaoge's background had become even more mysterious in Zheng Ming's eyes.
Zheng Ming would definitely not believe that Yan Zhaoge was completely unrelated to Gao Han.
However, Yan Zhaoge had admitted that he bore the Extreme Yang Seal, even admitting that he knew of the Sun God Scripture. What meaning was there in him still denying that he knew of Gao Han's existence?
It was like looking at the restored Heaven Bearing Efficate Formation within the valley. There would be no need for Kang Ping and the others to deny it at all.
"Perhaps while he came into contact with the Exalted Solar Luminary, he only obtained the Extreme Yang Seal and the legacy of the Extreme Yang Scripture. The Exalted Solar Luminary did not mention his identity to him?" Zheng Ming pondered, yet dared not think too deeply about it.
It was best not to easily guess at the thoughts of a major figure of that level.
Truthfully reporting this to his Master, the Southeastern Exalt, was accomplishing what he was supposed to do.
Thinking of this, Zheng Ming looked at Yan Zhaoge, "Little Friend Yan …"
Yan Zhaoge smiled, "In coming to the World beyond Worlds, I have some enmity to settle with a sect of the Royal Reed Sea, the Radiant Light Sect."
Zheng Ming opened his mouth, swallowing back the words that he had originally wanted to say.
Kang Ping and the others had to give the Southeastern Exalt an explanation. If there were any follow-up to this matter of them having set up the Heaven Bearing Efficate Formation within the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory, it would definitely affect the Southeastern Exalt.
As for Yan Zhaoge, first not mentioning whether or not he had been entrusted with the mission of the original owner of the Extreme Yang Seal, even if he had, it would still be impossible to ascertain whether it was related to the Southeastern Exalt now.
If the matter with the Radiant Light Sect was indeed just Yan Zhaoge's personal problem, the Southeastern Exalt would not interfere.
Matters of the major powers of the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory attacking one another were commonplace. It was not as if sects had not been exterminated as well. If it was not truly a major mess, the Southeastern Exalt would not be bothered about it.
Recklessly interfering with the arrangements of the Exalted Solar Luminary now would be equivalent to starting a feud.
If the Exalted Solar Luminary's methods were being used in the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory, it would be impossible for the Southeastern Exalt to just stand by and watch.
It was just that there were currently no signs of this.
Whether or not Yan Zhaoge had a personal enmity with the Radiant Light Sect was something that could be easily verified.
Zheng Ming sighed inwardly, shaking his head slightly, "Is Little Friend Yan interested in coming to my Golden Court Mountain as a guest?"
While it was not good for him to forcefully interfere, he still hoped to understand the situation as much as possible, not being completely clueless about it at the very least.
"That's my wish. I wouldn't dare to ask." Yan Zhaoge smiled, "Still, if it is convenient, I would like to head to Golden Court Mountain after settling my personal matters in the Royal Reed Sea."
"I have long heard of the Southeastern Exalt's famed name. I would naturally like to meet him."
Zheng Ming guessed that Yan Zhaoge's personal matters were his enmity with the Radiant Light Sect.
He said, "Junior apprentice-brother Chen will lead that Mister Kang over to pay a visit to my Master. I will remain in the Royal Reed Sea to verify some matters."
The meaning behind his words was that it was impossible for him to be a hired thug.
This was also how it should be. He would not urge Yan Zhaoge to immediately pay a visit to the Southeastern Exalt like Kang Ping had done. While he would not prevent Yan Zhaoge from seeking vengeance with the Radiant Light Sect, he would also not help Yan Zhaoge.
Yan Zhaoge smiled, "Being able to travel with you all is already a wonderful experience for me. You are polite."
Of course it had been wonderful. His gains had been much more abundant than he had thought. (To be continued.)
