Yan Zhaoge met Yin Tianxia's gaze.
While it was only a will, Yan Zhaoge felt like he had truly traversed thousands of years, coming face to face with this hegemon of a generation many years ago.
Now, he finally knew where Yin Tianxia's coffin had been empty and where his body had gone.
The setup of this Dim Radiant Emperor after his death had actually been to transform himself into this Dim Radiant Wheel!
A supreme treasure that surpassed Sacred Artifacts.
An Immortal Artifact of legend!
Yan Zhaoge's gaze was deep and distant, "To think that I would actually see an Immortal Artifact here, even though it is an incomplete Immortal Artifact …"
It was just like how not all Martial Saints had Holy Weapons with them.
Immortal Artifacts were even rarer. One had to be at the cultivation base of the Dim Radiant Emperor Yin Tianxia at the very least before one could attempt to forge it.
Not every expert above the Martial Saint Realm possessed an Immortal Weapon.
This had been the case in pre-Great Calamity times. For example, the Flame Devil Emperor who had created the lineage of the Flame Devil World did not possess an Immortal Artifact.
The Dim Radiant Emperor Yin Tianxia had been a brilliant shooting star, stunning the world. Yet, he had also perished very quickly.
While the Dim Radiant Sect was wealthy, the materials for forging Immortal Artifacts were still scarce.
Without sufficient time to accumulate and consolidate, it was common knowledge that the Dim Radiant Sect did not possess Immortal Artifacts.
Yin Tianxia's accompanying treasure that everyone was familiar with was the high-grade Sacred Artifact, the Dim Radiant Lamp.
Yan Zhaoge had not thought that the Dim Radiant Emperor would actually have used himself as a part of the Immortal Artifact, the Dim Radiant Wheel, after his death.
Looking at the Dim Radiant Wheel, other than desire, Yan Zhaoge's first reaction was more of doubt.
The Dim Radiant Emperor's actions were really too bizarre.
"Was it to leave behind a supreme treasure for his descendants, or was it purely to fulfil his unfulfilled wish in life?" Shocking tides surged within Yan Zhaoge's heart, "Or perhaps this Immortal Artifact was the method that the Dim Radiant Emperor prepared for his own resurrection?"
There was another possibility.
The Dim Radiant Emperor had painstakingly forged this treasure before his death in order to seal away a certain secret.
Perhaps it was related to his death that year and the Dim Radiant Sect's decline from its peak?
Looking at the Dim Radiant Emperor Yin Tianxia before him, Yan Zhaoge fell into deep thought.
While Xiao Ai could not see the Dim Radiant Emperor's image, she asked curiously, "Young Master, is this a high-grade Sacred artifact?"
"No, this is an Immortal Armament. However, it has yet to be completed." Yan Zhaoge answered, "Or rather, this is an embryonic Immortal Artifact. It would be more appropriate to call it an embryonic Immortal Artifact."
Xiao Ai's mouth gaped open for a long time.
She had never seen an Immortal Weapon before, but she had heard Xue Chuqing mention the legends regarding Immortal Weapons.
Yan Zhaoge saw the white-robed girl's eyes turn bright as they had never been before.
In the blink of an eye, there seemed to be countless black iron wheels rolling up and down.
At this moment, in Xiao Ai's eyes, the originally unremarkable black iron wheels seemed to have turned into coins that were round on the outside and square on the inside, flashing with an incomparably alluring luster.
Yan Zhaoge rolled his eyes, waving a hand in front of Xiao Ai's eyes.
"Young master, young master … This thing! This thing … "Xiao Ai regained her wits, swallowing her saliva as she spoke rather incoherently, gesturing wildly at the Dim Radiant Wheel and then at Yan Zhaoge," You definitely … definitely … "
Yan Zhaoge shrugged, "Relax. Whether it is a fortuitous encounter or a calamity is still uncertain. Even if it is a fortuitous encounter, it would not be so easy to obtain it."
Xiao Ai finally managed to catch her breath with much difficulty as she tugged at Yan Zhaoge's sleeve, looking at him with an expression of worship on her face, "Young Master, you definitely have a way, right?"
Yan Zhaoge said rather amusedly, "First not speaking of the fact that your cultivation base is still low, even with my current cultivation base, it would still be impossible for me to wield the power of an Immortal Artifact."
"While delicacies are good, you can only look at them and not eat them. You don't have to be so enthusiastic, right?"
Xiao Ai said righteously, "Such a good treasure, just looking at it fills one with bliss!"
Yan Zhaoge stroked his lower chin, smiling as well, "If you put it this way, it does seem to make sense?"
He turned to look at the Dim Radiant Wheel once more, feeling the concept within as he analysed the principles of the legendary Dim Radiant Twelve Arts.
Time passed bit by bit. Yan Zhaoge remained silent and unmoving. Now, Xiao Ai had calmed down as well, gazing nervously at Yan Zhaoge, yet not daring to disturb him.
Every time her gaze fell on that tranquil black wheel, she could not help but secretly swallow a mouthful of saliva, just feeling like a cat was scratching at her heart.
After who knew how long, the world they were in suddenly shook intensely for a moment.
Yan Zhaoge snapped out of his contemplation, raising his brows.
Xiao Ai's expression changed slightly, "Someone else has come!"
The foreign dimension that the altar was in was gradually enveloped by a layer of blurry radiance that was neither bright nor dark.
Yan Zhaoge's mind was connected to the Dim Radiant Wheel as the world before him suddenly fell into darkness. Then, amidst the boundless darkness, the light of a lamp suddenly lit up, resembling the light of the very beginning.
"It's the Dim Radiant Lamp. Luo Zhiyuan has completely refined the Dim Radiant Lamp," Yan Zhaoge said knowingly.
Luo Zhiyuan, a late Seeing Divinity Martial Saint, had originally possessed the high-grade Sacred Artifact, the Sun Moon Wheels. Now, he had even refined the Dim Radiant Lamp which was also a high-grade Sacred Artifact.
Who in the entire Dim Radiant Mausoleum could still contend with him?
Currently searching with the help of the Dim Radiant Lamp, he had shockingly arrived outside the stone door, attempting to open it and barge into this foreign dimension!
Xiao Ai looked nervously at Yan Zhaoge, "Young Master …"
Yan Zhaoge smiled, "There's still time."
Still grasping the Dim Radiant Wheel with one hand, he flicked his sleeve with the other, Feng Yunsheng who had been swept and kept away by his true essence earlier leaping out.
Xiao Ai stared wide-eyed at Feng Yunsheng who had appeared before her.
Feng Yunsheng nodded and smiled at her.
Yan Zhaoge said, "Be fast."
Feng Yunsheng smiled, "Of course, there's nothing I can do if too much time passes."
Dim blue radiance suddenly lit up within her pupils, resembling two cold suns that illuminated the surrounding area.
A powerful aura that shook the heavens and the earth emanated from her body as the Cold Sun Divine Sabre behind her was mightily unsheathed, landing within her hand.
Principles intermingled, runes extending as the surface of the Cold Sun Divine Sabre and Feng Yunsheng's skin were both enveloped by dim blue patterns of light, a brutal, destructive, terrifying aura rising unceasingly.
She circled to the other side of the Dim Radiant Wheel, standing face-to-face with Yan Zhaoge.
The sabre was pointed forward, right at the centre of the Dim Radiant Wheel.
Yan Zhaoge's gaze hardened as the power of reversed moon was infused within the Dim Radiant Wheel as well, combining with Feng Yunsheng's valiant power of reversed sun.
The Cyclic Heavenly Scripture circulated, reversing the heavens and earth, reversing yin and yang.
Streams of light instantly shot out from the surface of the jet-black Dim Radiant Wheel, illuminating the bodies of Yan Zhaoge and Feng Yunsheng.
Streams of air flowed out of the twelve holes and enveloped the entire altar.
The next moment, the Dim Radiant Wheel slowly rose amidst infinite radiance, resembling eternal darkness.
The trajectory of its rise seemed to divide the boundary between light and darkness for the world before it.
Yan Zhaoge and Feng Yunsheng rose alongside the Dim Radiant Wheel.
Now, the surrounding heavens and earth were already gradually enveloped by dim light.
Darkness suddenly appeared amidst the light. A speck of light appeared at the centre of the darkness. (Continued to be continued.)
