Yan Zhaoge declined to comment on Sun Zhongda's words.
From what he had grasped so far, the Future Buddha and the Buddhists were definitely involved in what had happened back then.
However, it was still too early to say what role it played in all of this.
However, Sun Zhongda's attitude told Yan Zhaoge one thing.
The Prime Clear lineage was clearly at odds with the World beyond Worlds when it came to Buddhism.
The Prime Clear lineage's attitude seemed to be more unyielding and radical.
Yan Zhaoge was still unable to ascertain whether this was the main reason for the conflict between the Roving Jade Heavens and the World beyond Worlds.
On one hand, Sun Zhongda's current appearance might indeed be because he was enraged. On the other hand, he was actually also probing Yan Zhaoge's attitude.
He was gradually beginning to feel that the Yan Zhaoge before him was truly different from most people of the World beyond Worlds.
It was very different.
Yan Zhaoge could tell what he was thinking at a glance. Still, he did not comment on it as he had Sun Zhongda imprisoned once more before leaving the Myriad Dragon Palace.
Continuing traversing the Obscured Way World, Yan Zhaoge grew more and more familiar with the circulation of spiritual qi here as he grew more and more confident.
He had already begun searching for a path back to the World beyond Worlds.
Still, as he grew more and more familiar with the spiritual qi circulation of the Obscured Way World, Yan Zhaoge vaguely felt that something was amiss.
"Why does it seem like there's a blank space somewhere in this world?"
Somewhat bemused, Yan Zhaoge followed the spiritual qi vein to search for it.
The Obscured Way World was similar in size to the Eight Extremities World. To the current Yan Zhaoge, such an area was already not that big.
He quickly found the place he was looking for.
Having arrived, seeing the scene before him, Yan Zhaoge could not help but feel even more astonished.
It was as if a piece of a painting had been dug out from the middle, and then the part that had been dug out maintained the same height, but moved backwards a few degrees in space.
Looking from afar, the picture on the scroll seemed to remain the same.
But when he got closer, he would have a twisted feeling.
If he changed the angle of his vision, he would notice an obvious problem. It felt like two worlds were overlapping, and there was a clear gap at the border.
Yan Zhaoge's current location, or rather, the location of the Obscured Way World, was a 'painting' in the outskirts.
In front of him, there was another world. It overlapped with the Obscured Way World, but it was obvious that it didn't merge.
It was a somewhat desolate mountain ridge, but there was a faint Buddhist radiance, revealing the true meaning of tranquility and nature.
"No wonder I felt like there was a huge gap somewhere in this world. So there really is a problem."
Yan Zhaoge observed and appraised the mountain range before him that seemed to belong to another world, yet did not know where exactly it was.
It was just that as he looked on, Yan Zhaoge suddenly felt as though a voice resounded by his ear.
The voice was faintly discernible, as if it was incomparably far away, making it difficult to hear the content clearly.
However, it contained an extremely complicated emotion.
Disbelief, doubt, shock, anger, sadness, disappointment, brutality, unwillingness …
All kinds of emotions fused together, as if they were engraved in the firmament of the universe, eternally inextinguishable.
Even though Yan Zhaoge had not clearly heard what that voice was saying at all, he could clearly feel the emotions contained within that voice, just that deep.
What kind of resentment and despair did one have to be to brew such emotions?
Yan Zhaoge raised his brows slightly, striding towards that mountain ridge.
Still, he quickly discovered that after walking for a while, he had come to a standstill. No matter how hard he tried, he was unable to get any closer to the mountain ridge.
While he did not cultivate in the Spatial Heavenly Scripture and the Immortal Trapping Sword, Yan Zhaoge's comprehension of the profundities of space had already reached a certain level, being far from what his current cultivation level could comprehend.
Yet, he was still unable to approach that mountain ridge.
What Yan Zhaoge cared about was that he was unable to feel any restrictions, formations or fist-intents set up by someone else here. He was also unable to feel any spiritual qi fluctuations.
Everything seemed normal. Yet, while that mountain ridge seemed right before his eyes, it was still far away by the horizon at the end of the day.
"It is not that there are no restrictions here. Instead, the one who set them up is too powerful," Yan Zhaoge frowned.
Being unable to detect any traces of it at all, the other party's cultivation base was high to the point of being limitless.
It was probably one of those bigwigs of legend.
Who could it be?
As Yan Zhaoge pondered, that voice suddenly resounded by his ear once more.
That intense emotion virtually caused Yan Zhaoge's mind to become unstable as he very nearly went berserk.
This time, Yan Zhaoge vaguely heard its contents.
Two words.
"Teacher?!"
The violent roar seemed to resound from every point in the river of time, traversing the past, present and future.
Gazing at that mountain ridge, Yan Zhaoge pondered, "Did it originate from that world? From that mountain ridge … "
He entered the Myriad Dragon Palace, asking, "Were you able to hear the voice just now?"
Ah Hu and Xiao Ai both had blank looks on their faces.
Feng Yunsheng hesitated before answering, "It was indistinct. It seemed like I heard the voice, yet also felt like it wasn't there. I even thought that I had heard wrongly."
Yan Zhaoge asked, "Were you able to clearly hear its contents?"
Feng Yunsheng shook her head. Yan Zhaoge pondered for a moment before asking Sun Zhongda.
Sun Zhongda's answer was similar to Feng Yunsheng's.
"One has to be a Martial Saint at the very least to be able to hear that voice?" Yan Zhaoge pondered, "The stronger one is, the easier it is to hear it."
Feng Yunsheng was constantly accompanied by the Cold Sun Divine Sabre, her soul highly attuned to the sabre. Thus, she had been able to hear it, unlike Ah Hu and Xiao Ai who had been completely oblivious to it.
Yan Zhaoge attempted to approach that mountain ridge again, yet was still unable to succeed.
He returned to the Obscured Way World, searching for a place where people lived nearby and asking them about that mountain ridge.
Unexpectedly, that place was actually a famous Sacred Ground in the surrounding area.
It was just that the name of this place shocked Yan Zhaoge to the point of being unable to speak for a long time.
"Sage Buddha Peak is a blessed land. We mortals are naturally unable to go there. Only those who are sincere in their devotion to Buddha would be able to enter such a place. That is a place where Buddhas cultivate, free of worries, free of hatred, free of tribulations, free from all worries."
"Sage Buddha Peak … what does this Sage Buddha refer to?"
"It is naturally the Namo Victorious Fighting Buddha. It is said that this Sage Buddha Peak was once also known as Two Boundaries Mountain, originally known as Five Elements Mountain …"
Yan Zhaoge was already no longer in the mood to listen to the rest of the rambling.
He gazed dazedly towards the horizon, only feeling that it was absurd for a mountain ridge that did not seem to be of this world.
"Five Elements Mountain … Two Boundaries Mountain … Sage Buddha Peak … Namo Victorious Fighting Buddha … isn't that?" Yan Zhaoge had a strange expression on his face, "I know that this world also has the legend of Journey to the West. Still, that monkey should have left Five Elements Mountain and gone to the Western Heavens to obtain scriptures before finally attaining the status of the Victorious Fighting Buddha?"
"Could it be that it is not just space that has been distorted here? Time here has been distorted as well, going back to ancient times?"
Yan Zhaoge felt like his mind was rather lacking now, "Wait, I still seem unable to confirm whose voice that was. Or was it someone else who occupied this place after the monkey escaped?"
"Still, since the people of the Obscured Way World next to this place call that place Sage Buddha Peak, who else could it be other than that person?"
