He was a skinny and small old man with an unprepossessing appearance.
However, in Yan Zhaoge's eyes, it was incomparably lofty.
His left sleeve was empty as it was flung about, causing Yan Zhaoge to feel a little sad at the sight.
It was as if the scene of the old man severing his own arm in the Earth Abyss and the space-time black hole appeared before his eyes.
Inside the grand hall, Bai Ziming's statue's eyes flickered, and he sent out a thought, "Grandmaster …"
The old man had a smile on his face. He sighed a little, but more than that, he felt gratified.
While the statue before him belonged to Bai Ziming, Yan Zhaoge's features were reflected within his mind.
"Zhaoge, I really did not expect that we would reunite like this. It is all thanks to you that I was able to escape from the Western Sea's eye."
This one-armed old man was naturally the old Chief of Broad Creed Mountain in the Eight Extremities World that year, the 'Heaven Equalling Saint' Yuan Zhengfeng who had drifted through the chaotic flows of space and arrived in the Floating Gate World!
Yan Zhaoge similarly felt rather emotional, but even more joyous, "Disciple Yan Zhaoge greets Grand Master. Seeing that you are fine, a great weight has finally been lifted from my heart."
Yuan Zhengfeng asked, "I heard from those of Great Snowy Mountain that you are currently in the World beyond Worlds? Did you ascend after attaining the third level of the Martial Saint realm or did you have a treasure to protect you as you passed through the wound of the sky? Do you know the situation in the Eight Extremities World? "
Yan Zhaoge made a long story short as he gave a general introduction of what had happened after Yuan Zhengfeng had gone missing in the Eight Extremities World.
The main point was naturally the enmity between Broad Creed Mountain and the Radiant Light Sect as well as his current actions in the World beyond Worlds.
Yuan Zhengfeng had no time to lament about the destruction of the Sacred Sun Clan and the Heavenly Thunder Hall with whom he had fought for most of his life as his attention was immediately drawn by the Radiant Light Sect.
"You are alone in the World beyond Worlds …" Yuan Zhengfeng's expression turned solemn.
Yan Zhaoge quickly said, "You can rest easy, Grand Master. I am currently on rather good terms with those of the Southeastern Exalt's lineage. It is sufficient for me to deal with them."
Yuan Zhengfeng nodded, "Since that is so, this old man will return to the Eight Extremities World as soon as possible, meeting up with Yan Di, Fang Zhun, junior apprentice-brother Zhang and junior apprentice-sister He."
"This old man and Yan Di are both in the Eight Extremities World. We do not fear the descent of the Radiant Light Sect martial practitioners."
Yan Zhaoge smiled, "I will have to trouble Grand Master to remain at the third level of the Martial Saint realm, the late Merging Avatar stage for a period of time."
"After the battle with the Heavy Sun Sect, I'm afraid you're about to take that final step, right?"
The corners of Yuan Zhengfeng's mouth curled up into a smile, "I have some gains. After analyzing and accumulating, I do have the confidence to try. However, I am not in a hurry."
Yan Zhaoge asked, "Are there any spatial traversing treasures?"
Earlier, Yan Zhaoge had entrusted the Great Snowy Mountain martial practitioners with two tasks. The first was to help Yuan Zhengfeng escape from the sea eye of the West Sea.
Secondly, he had left behind signposts of the World beyond Worlds and the Eight Extremities World for Yuan Zhengfeng, making it convenient for him to navigate amidst infinite space.
Besides distinguishing one's direction, if there was no dimensional passageway between the two worlds and one didn't cultivate supreme arts like the Spatial Heavenly Scripture, martial practitioners below the Seeing Divinity stage would basically need some special arts or treasures to travel between the two worlds.
For example, Yan Zhaoge had previously made use of the Lofty Prestige Mirror to traverse between the Eight Extremities World and the Vast Ocean World.
Yuan Zhengfeng said, "Our friends from Great Snowy Mountain are currently helping this old man plan."
"These days, I've been borrowing the Great Snow Mountain's power. Firstly, I've been comprehending martial arts. Secondly, I've been waiting for my friends from the Great Snow Mountain to help me prepare a treasure to travel through the void. Thirdly, they mentioned that you might contact them again after some time."
"Therefore, this old man decided to just wait here and communicate with you, understanding the situation before deciding on our next move."
Yan Zhaoge smiled, "It was them who tried to mediate, advising you to stop fighting with the Heavy Sun Sect?"
Yuan Zhengfeng said, "That's right. To them, the current situation is already very good. Going too far is as bad as not going far enough as they might instead invite trouble. They naturally don't want this old man to continue fighting with the Heavy Sun Sect."
"While it was mutually beneficial, and it was mostly thanks to your idea, Zhaoge, this old man still had to give them some face in escaping from the sea eye of the West Sea."
In the battle of the West Sea, he had slain half of the Heavy Sun Sect's territory.
He had wreaked havoc at the headquarters of the Heavy Sun Sect and slain many of their people, beating many Heavy Sun Sect experts who had descended from the World beyond Worlds into cowardly turtles.
Yuan Zhengfeng had already vented his anger.
The reason he had not let it go was because of the destruction of Towering Wave Pavilion.
Whatever the case, Yuan Zhengfeng felt that Towering Wave Pavilion had treated him pretty well. As a guest of Towering Wave Pavilion, it had still been destroyed by the Heavy Sun Sect. He had been unable to remain unmoved.
Afterwards, it had been those of Great Snowy Mountain who had come forward to act as guarantors, helping the few descendants of Towering Wave Pavilion who had managed to escape the calamity of death to continue their lineage and rebuild their legacy, also ensuring that it would continue to be passed down.
Thinking that he would eventually have to leave the Floating Gate World one day, while the Heavy Sun Sect still had a foundation in the World beyond Worlds, Yuan Zhengfeng had agreed not to fight to the death with the Floating Gate World's Heavy Sun Sect.
"This old man did have some gains in the Floating Gate World this time," Yuan Zhengfeng said.
Yan Zhaoge had not thought that Yuan Zhengfeng would bring this up on his own. After all, fortune and fortune were very personal matters, the same principle applied to everyone.
For Broad Creed Mountain, whether or not they shared it with others would mostly depend on their own will.
It was not just disciples of the younger generation. This was the same for Yuan Zhengfeng as a senior.
Yuan Zhengfeng continued, "That year, I once heard Yan Di mention briefly that your mother, Chuqing, cultivated in a martial legacy that was superior to that of our Broad Creed Mountain."
"Watching Chuqing battle with others that day, this old man deeply agreed with your father's judgement."
"Meanwhile, this old man obtained a supreme martial art in the Floating Gate World. After carefully analysing it, I felt that it was extremely similar to the martial dao that Chuqing cultivated in."
Hearing this, Yan Zhaoge felt even more puzzled, "… Life Creation Heavenly Scripture?"
While he could not be certain if the martial dao that his mother Xue Chuqing cultivated in was the Life Creation Heavenly Scripture or if she cultivated in other martial arts as well, the martial arts that Xue Chuqing had imparted to Xiao Ai and Su Yun were all of the direct lineage of the Life Creation Heavenly Scripture of the ten Primordial Heavenly Scriptures.
Indeed, Yuan Zhengfeng said, "This supreme martial art is of the Jade Clear direct lineage, the Life Creation Heavenly Scripture."
Yan Zhaoge asked, "Is it from Towering Wave Pavilion?"
Yuan Zhengfeng shook his head, "That is not the case. When this old man was adventuring outside, I coincidentally discovered a cave manor that had been sealed for a long time. It was unknown which predecessor left it behind, but I discovered this supreme martial art within it."
Yan Zhaoge pondered, "That should have nothing to do with mother then."
He smiled, "Who said that fortuitous encounters were the preserve of the young?"
Meanwhile, Yuan Zhengfeng continued, "Apart from that, there was also a powerful thunder art. This old man studied these two supreme martial arts and gained much, breaking through multiple bottlenecks in order to achieve what I have today."
"Life Creation Heavenly Scripture … thunder art …" Hearing this, Yan Zhaoge was taken aback as he vaguely seemed to have grasped something. Still, he felt like he was looking at flowers through fog as everything was hazy. (To be continued.)
