Aside from feeling perplexed over Yan Zhaoge's origins, there was something else that shocked the Ingenious Flying Peak martial practitioners even more.
Even if it had not been an explicit agreement, Fu Ting had said earlier that they would exchange a single move.
While she had not been at a disadvantage earlier, Fu Ting had unleashed the Taiji Yin Yang Palm as she had defended with the Grand Plainness Immeasurable Body, which was equivalent to adding half a move.
Strictly speaking, she had used half a move in exchange for Yan Zhaoge's palm.
If victory was decided with a single move, the victor would clearly be Yan Zhaoge!
Everyone was rendered rather dazed for a time.
It was not just the two early Seeing Divinity Martial Saints. All the Ingenious Flying Peak martial practitioners present were older than Fu Ting, many of them not even just a little bit older.
They had watched Fu Ting grow up, defeating countless opponents along the way.
It was not that there were no people who could defeat Fu Ting. Still, at the same cultivation level and age, Fu Ting was invincible, never having tasted defeat.
Many people who were much older than her and possessed higher cultivation bases had successively been defeated by her.
This was the first time they of Ingenious Flying Peak had seen Fu Ting lose to an opponent of the same cultivation level.
The other party's cultivation base was even a level lower than Fu Ting's, and he was even younger as well!
Everyone's expressions turned solemn as they simultaneously gazed at Yan Zhaoge.
Fu Ting was silent for a moment before she said straightforwardly, "In that exchange just now, I was defeated. You are more skilled."
Yan Zhaoge smiled, "Miss Fu is polite."
Fu Ting pondered as she looked at Yan Zhaoge.
Yan Zhaoge did not wait for her to ask as he directly said, "This Yan is not of the Grand Clear direct lineage. Still, the founding founder of my lineage that year was founded on the foundation of unearthing the legacies of our predecessors, benefiting from the legacies of the Grand Clear lineage."
"This Yan is indeed a little shameless to claim to be of the Grand Clear direct lineage. Still, it was indeed thanks to the legacies of the Grand Clear lineage of pre-Great Calamity times that our lineage was able to establish itself that year."
"Apart from that, I personally cultivated in some martial arts of the Grand Clear lineage due to a fortuitous encounter. I have learnt a wide variety of martial arts.
The name of Broad Creed Mountain's orthodox martial art for many years was the Clear Qi Profound Art.
Of course, the name of this martial art was a little shameful now. With the thickness of Yan Zhaoge's skin, he could still bluff some unrelated people.
However, in front of Fu Ting, the legitimate successor of the Grand Clear lineage, he was embarrassed to say it out loud.
This was actually very normal. After all, the founder of Broad Creed Mountain that year, the Heaven Establishing Old Man Qiu Yuan who had created the Clear Qi Profound Art, had not known of the existence of the World beyond Worlds.
His vision was restricted to the Eight Extremities World.
It wasn't that he was looking at the sky from the bottom of a well. It was just that the Great Calamity had caused everything to have to start from scratch.
Without the foundations that Qiu Yuan and the others had established, there would not have been Zhang Chao and Yan Di who had forged ahead and finally walked out of the path to the heavens, leaping out of the well and being able to see the vaster heavens and earth.
Moreover, Qiu Yuan had indeed benefited from the legacy of his predecessors back then, being related to the Grand Clear direct lineage.
Strictly speaking, in the context of the Eight Extremities World, it was not wrong to say that Broad Creed Mountain was of the direct lineage of the Grand Clear lineage.
When Yan Zhaoge Transcended Mortality and entered Sainthood, he had not possessed any truly detailed supreme martial arts of the Grand Clear direct lineage. In the end, after some scheming and hard work, he had still succeeded in combining the Three Purities as one, thanks to Broad Creed Mountain's martial legacies.
Hearing Yan Zhaoge's words, Fu Ting glanced deeply at him.
Just as she was about to say something, Fu Ting's expression suddenly changed.
The gazes of Yan Zhaoge and those two Seeing Divinity Martial Saints flickered slightly as well.
Everyone looked down at their feet at the same time.
While there were no changes in the heavens and earth before them, they all felt a faint tremor emanating from down below.
While it was very slight at first, it had become extremely intense a moment later as the entire heavens and earth were shaking and shaking.
The shaking did not originate from this layer of space itself. Instead, it originated from that layer down below.
Yan Zhaoge spread his palms apart, "The stability of this foreign dimension far surpasses the norm as it is even more stable than many worlds of creation."
"Being able to cause such a major disturbance here, they are undoubtedly Immortal Bridge Martial Saints at the very least. One of them should be a senior of yours, Miss Fu. As you say, they have indeed arrived very quickly. Still, it is hard to say who the other party is."
He lowered his head and silently sensed for a moment, "Without personally witnessing it, it is hard to say who won and who lost. Still, from the fluctuations of power, they seem to be evenly matched."
Yan Zhaoge raised his head, pointing ahead, "This Yan intends to make use of this chance to head to a higher level. I wonder what Miss Fu thinks of this?"
Glancing at Yan Zhaoge, Fu Ting suddenly smiled, actually having some craftiness within her, "Great minds think alike."
Saying thus, golden radiance abruptly lit up on her body, transforming into the silhouette of a phoenix which spread its wings, sweeping along her and the Ingenious Flying Peak martial practitioners beside her before directly turning and flying off into the distance.
Seeing this, Yan Zhaoge drew back the corners of his lips, pursuing along with Feng Yunsheng and the others.
Seeing that silhouette of a golden phoenix, Feng Yunsheng, Ah Hu, Xiao Ai and the others were all taken aback, "She actually cultivated in the true intent of the phoenix as well?"
While it was different from the fiery phoenix of the Southern Exalt's lineage, that golden phoenix had similarly attained the true intent of the phoenix.
Even more shocking was the fact that all five Virtues vaguely appeared behind this golden phoenix, emanating a shocking aura that seemed capable of destroying the heavens and the earth and one's own side.
"That is not a martial art that she cultivates in. It is the effect of a Sacred Artifact that she possesses." Yan Zhaoge stroked his lower chin, "It should be a mid-grade Sacred Artifact with extremely shocking defensive power. In terms of defence alone, it far surpasses the Precipitous Golden Armour and the Immortal Talisman Embroidered Robe."
Fu Ting was currently still not a Seeing Divinity Martial Saint as she was unable to wield the full might of that Phoenix Weaving Plume.
If she stepped into the Seeing Divinity stage and simultaneously cultivated in the Grand Plainness Immeasurable Body and the Grand Beginning Bright Emptiness Form, then wielding the Phoenix Weaving Plume with all her might, with the two Grands combined and the five Virtues present, her defensive power would reach a shocking level as she only defended and not attacked.
Most early Immortal Bridge Martial Saints would be unable to break through her defences.
While Yan Zhaoge possessed the Extreme Yang Seal, wielding it now would be completely different from wielding it after having attained the Seeing Divinity stage.
"No wonder she could still be so confident knowing that we possess the Extreme Yang Seal and the Extreme Yin Crown." Ah Hu scratched his big head, "The Brocade Emperor is truly incredible. The Southern Exalt spent so much effort yet was still unable to gather the true intent of the five Virtues, yet he actually managed to gather them all."
Yan Zhaoge shook his head, "They are not gathered. It is merely this Sacred Artifact that can create the image of the five Virtues existing together somewhat. It must be because the essence blood of a pure-blooded phoenix was poured in when this thing was first forged, the true intent merging with that Sacred Artifact and being able to be stimulated. Still, it would be impossible to comprehend, decipher and sort it out. "
"This is also thanks to the connection between the Five Grands and Five Virtues in the first place. Otherwise, the Brocade Emperor would not have been able to do something like this. Even if he gave this Sacred Artifact to the Southern Exalt and let him tear it apart to study it, he would at most only be able to obtain bits and pieces of it, utterly inadequate."
Yan Zhaoge said, "The Southern Exalt should be aware of this as well. Otherwise, he would have long since thought of a way."
As he said this, Yan Zhaoge's eyes lit up.
In the distance, the pagoda that led to a higher level had already appeared within his field of vision. (To be continued.)
