The Dim Darkness Sect's main altar had been broken through by the Grand Xuan Dynasty, most of its branch altars having been destroyed as well.
Zhou Haosheng and most of the Dim Darkness Sect's experts and disciples had temporarily resided in the North Sea Sword Pavilion and Copper Men Island before this.
Now that the Grand Xuan Dynasty had retreated, those of the Dim Darkness Sect had all returned to their respective territories, reoccupying them as they began rebuilding.
The main altar of the Dim Darkness Sect had been concealed amidst space in the past due to special circumstances.
After having been destroyed, it would be hard for it to regain its former appearance. Still, the branch altars in other locations could be rebuilt.
Yan Zhaoge, Zhou Haosheng and the others took their leave of Gu Hong of the North Sea Sword Pavilion before leaving the Grinding Hut Region.
There was still a single branch altar of the Dim Darkness Sect that had survived. Yan Zhaoge's group first arrived there.
After settling down, the Dim Darkness Sect martial practitioners went out to investigate the situation, confirming the movements of the Grand Xuan Dynasty and the Radiant Light Sect.
Meanwhile, Zhou Haosheng himself set up his altar, beginning his final preparations.
Dim yet heavy radiance resembled the night sky as it expanded within the sky, enveloping this branch altar of the Dim Darkness Sect. It seemed to serve the same purpose as a defensive formation.
Yan Zhaoge was within, yet could feel that this barrier that resembled the night sky also served the function of isolating sound.
Beneath the night sky, the higher echelon experts of the Dim Darkness Sect with Zhou Haosheng at their head each held a fragment of the Dim Radiant Mausoleum that had fallen from the construction of the Dim Radiant Mausoleum, activating it with their true essence.
Yan Zhaoge placed that metallic fragment that was half black and half white at the centre of the group.
The metallic fragment that had originally appeared completely ordinary now gradually floated up, hovering in mid-air.
With it as its centre, a profound, graceful rune of radiance gradually took form.
The light on the rune was bright at times whilst slow at others, flickering with a unique rhythm. Just by looking at this fragment, one would be able to feel the concept contained within, manifesting the profundities of the intermingling of light and darkness.
Yan Zhaoge watched this scene silently as a tiny yet heavy black dot appeared amidst space once more.
The black hole appeared once more, the surrounding space distorting and shattering. However, beneath that rune, a path vaguely appeared.
That path was illusory and formless as one would not be able to detect its existence with the naked eye.
That path was illusory and formless as one would not be able to see it with their eyes.
Zhou Haosheng said, "Junior apprentice-brother Wu, you and the others maintain the formation and guard the surroundings carefully, preventing the Radiant Light Sect or others from launching a sneak attack."
A portion of the Dim Darkness Sect's Elders led by Wu Zixiu answered, "Yes, Chief."
Zhou Haosheng sucked in a deep breath, bringing along another portion of the Dim Darkness Sect Elders as he walked towards shattered space.
Yan Zhaoge followed suit. Stepping into space, he felt the surrounding chaotic flows of space invading him, yet seemed to be separated by a formless power.
In the chaotic void, there was indeed an invisible path.
The group continued forward. In the dark space before them, it was difficult to distinguish between north, south, east, west, up, down, left, and right. It was dark and gloomy, without any light.
In order to determine the direction to go, he could only follow the path that seemed to not exist.
If they did not speak, Yan Zhaoge would not be able to hear anything amidst the darkness of space.
An overly quiet environment was actually a kind of torture to a person's mind. In the long run, even a strong-willed person would go crazy.
However, Zhou Haosheng and the others had calm expressions on their faces. Instead, they seemed to be at ease.
To martial practitioners of the Dim Darkness Sect like them, they could not be any more accustomed to such an environment.
Yan Zhaoge seemed to be deep in thought as he walked, "Extreme darkness breeds all things, extreme darkness giving birth to light, welcoming extreme brightness. This is like the darkness before the light."
Feng Yunsheng and Ah Hu who were travelling with him were fine in the Myriad Dragon Palace.
Feng Yunsheng said, "The Dim Radiant Emperor and many of the Dim Radiant Sect's higher echelon experts never returned. Not only are there old enemies seeking vengeance, there are also others who covet the Dim Radiant Sect's treasures who have come knocking, hastening the Dim Radiant Sect's decline."
"Most of the Dim Radiant Sect's treasures have been plundered, such that not much remains now. The Dim Darkness Sect doesn't even have a high-grade Sacred Artifact to guard their headquarters, and the Radiant Light Sect only has a single Sun Moon Wheels."
"However, the location of the legendary Dim Radiant Mausoleum that could possibly contain the Dim Radiant Sect's greatest accumulation has always been unknown." Feng Yunsheng raised her brows lightly, "There are probably many people who are also keeping an eye on the Dim Radiant Mausoleum. If they cannot find it, their gazes will fall on the Radiant Light Sect and the Dim Darkness Sect."
While a long time had already passed since the Dim Radiant Sect had been destroyed, while the Radiant Light Sect and the Dim Darkness Sect had not improved for many years already …
Still, those who were interested in the Dim Radiant Mausoleum would most likely not relax their surveillance of the Radiant Light Sect and the Dim Darkness Sect.
After all, these two sects were the most orthodox legacies of the Dim Radiant Sect.
From what everyone knew, wanting to find the Dim Radiant Mausoleum, the clues would most likely have to lie with the Radiant Light Sect and the Dim Darkness Sect.
The actions of Zhou Haosheng and the others now seemed to prove this theory.
Looking at Zhou Haosheng's back, Yan Zhaoge thought to himself, "Zhou Haosheng and the others would definitely understand this principle. While the Dim Radiant Mausoleum is an existence that they yearn for day and night, they should also know that only when the treasures are in their hands can their dreams truly be considered to have come true. They should not have been blinded and lost."
"If I am not wrong, they should have made special arrangements."
Amidst his words, Zhou Haosheng who stood at the forefront of the group pressed one hand before his chest, the other pushing out horizontally.
A speck of light suddenly lit up amidst the dim space before them.
Yan Zhaoge's pupils dilated, "The clues we have should still not be sufficient to confirm the exact location of the Dim Radiant Mausoleum …"
At this point, Yan Zhaoge's heart jolted slightly as he vaguely guessed what Zhou Haosheng wanted to do.
At virtually the same time, the dim space suddenly shook slightly.
It was as if a black curtain had suddenly been slashed apart with a sabre. Then, a streak of flame appeared, illuminating the dim space as it swept over towards that speck of light which had suddenly erupted amidst space.
Now, however, space shook on the other side as a massive palm also extended out from amidst the darkness.
That palm was incomparably massive, its fingers seemingly able to crush a planet as it raised its hand to block the flames, also grabbing towards that speck of light.
Before this flame and palm, even the Chief of the Dim Darkness Sect Zhou Haosheng who was at the peak of the late Seeing Divinity stage could only wait obediently, not daring to make any rash movements in the least.
However, Zhou Haosheng was not nervous as his gaze was instead deep and indiscernible as he scanned the surroundings attentively.
Seeing him like this, Yan Zhaoge relaxed completely, "Those people who intend for us to lead the way do not know how far we have progressed in our search for the Dim Radiant Mausoleum. They do not know that we are actually unable to completely confirm the exact location of the Dim Radiant Mausoleum."
That speck of light which had suddenly appeared amidst the darkness earlier had been something that Zhou Haosheng had done in secret!
He had intentionally startled the enemy just now.
The flame and the massive hand collided intensely amidst the boundless, boundless space, neither giving way to the other as they affected the surrounding area.
Suddenly, intense fluctuations suddenly emanated from amidst the seemingly endless darkness.
An even more terrifying aura seemed to have been jolted awake from a deep slumber.
The next moment, another streak of light that was bright to the extreme erupted, instantly enveloping the surrounding space as the fiery light and the massive hand both paled in comparison! (To be continued.)
