Led by Liu Zhenggu, Yan Zhaoge's group quickly traversed the eastern Vast Heaven Territory, returning to the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory.
Liu Zhenggu went straight to Golden Court Mountain. Since he had come to the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory, he might as well meet the Southeastern Exalt Cao Jie.
Yan Zhaoge seemed to be deep in thought.
Feng Yunsheng said, "It looks like when we met the Southeastern Exalt back then, his unspoken words were not just about you cultivating in the Immortal Ending Sword Manual. It might also be related to Senior Xue."
"Perhaps he had already seen some clues from your appearance back then, just that he could not be sure and could not directly ask you."
Hearing her words, Yan Zhaoge nodded slowly, "That is not impossible. Still, the Southeastern Exalt seems to be turning a blind eye to this matter, unlike the Eastern Exalt."
As Liu Zhenggu met with Cao Jie, Yan Zhaoge's group stopped at Golden Court Mountain once more.
Mu Jun had already set off for the Royal Reed Sea once more.
In the year that Yan Zhaoge had been away, the Royal Reed Sea where the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory and the southern Blazing Heaven Territory intersected had still been surging with undercurrents.
The main problem was not within the Royal Reed Sea and the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory. Instead, it was that the southern Blazing Heaven Territory had always been unstable.
The two sides had always been in conflict over Tang Yonghao's phoenix bone.
As the frontline of the southern Blazing Heaven Territory, besides Lin Hanhua who had been sitting over there, Mu Jun had also hurried over.
Apart from that, other peak experts of the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory had also hurried over on the orders of the Southeastern Exalt Cao Jie.
Still, Zheng Ming and Chen Zhiliang had remained at Golden Court Mountain.
Having lingered here previously, Yan Zhaoge had long since become familiar with the people here.
Therefore, Yan Zhaoge did not have to worry about a lack of information channels now.
"Little Friend Yan, you and your father really cannot be judged by common sense. I was still saying earlier that your father was truly miraculous, actually lighting up starfire within a short period of time and advancing further, attaining the fifth level of the Martial Saint realm. Never would I have thought that you would not lose out as you have already perfectly merged your body, avatar and soul, attaining the third level of the Martial Saint realm."
Looking at Yan Zhaoge, Zheng Ming shook his head as he sighed in admiration, "How long has it been since you became a Martial Saint?"
Beside him, Chen Zhiliang similarly had a look of disbelief on his face, "I personally saw your father break through two stages consecutively, advancing from the second level of the Martial Saint realm to the fourth level of the Martial Saint realm, breaking through space to see true Divinity and ascending to the World beyond Worlds. Still, never would I have thought that he would actually advance to the next level in such a short period of time."
"And Little Friend Yan, you are even more inconceivable. How old are you now?"
Yan Zhaoge smiled slightly, "I had some fortuitous encounters. I've made a fool of myself in front of you."
It was naturally a good thing that his father had advanced into the fifth level of the Martial Saint realm, his strength rising once more.
Yan Zhaoge did not find it strange that Yan Di had improved so much.
Yan Di's cultivation was like his sabre, forging ahead with an indomitable will.
The fiercer and faster he walked, the smoother it would be. If he stopped to stabilize himself, it might be harmful.
Generally speaking, the higher the realm, the harder it would be to break through, and the more time and energy it would take to advance.
In the tenth level of the Martial Saint realm, it was normal for many experts to remain at a certain cultivation level for decades or even centuries at a time.
However, while this logic was applicable to others, it was not applicable to Yan Di.
It was just that this was not without its drawbacks. If one unceasingly ascended a hundred thousand feet high peak and walked too fast, as soon as they stopped, they might very well fall straight down.
Yan Di's footsteps were to unceasingly break through brambles and thorns, forcibly breaking through one bottleneck after another.
If there was a bottleneck that he was unable to break through for a long time, while it might just be a halt for others, it might be a huge blow to Yan Di's head.
The later this bottleneck arrived and the higher one's cultivation base, the more dangerous it would be. It might even directly consign one to eternal damnation.
The heavenly dao was constant. There were gains and losses. Behind the limitless glory, there would always be difficulties that outsiders could not see.
It was like how Yan Zhaoge had chosen to simultaneously cultivate in the Three Purities. Behind the glory was a difficulty that far surpassed others.
The reason he had been able to advance triumphantly all this time was because his accumulation, resources, knowledge and experience similarly far surpassed others.
Under the same conditions, if Yan Zhaoge walked the same path as most people, his cultivation base would rise even faster than it was now.
Meanwhile, the path that Yan Di walked was the most suitable path for him.
Yan Zhaoge often thought that perhaps this was a path that only Yan Di could walk. If it was anyone else, they would probably have long since fallen from the clouds.
Yan Di was exceptionally talented in the dao of martial arts, shocking the heavens beneath the heavens. This might be his most unique aspect.
Yan Zhaoge was even more interested in the fact that Yan Di's current situation did not seem to be a coincidence.
It was just that all of this was like looking at flowers through a fog as he was still unable to see through it all too clearly.
It was also precisely because of this that Yan Zhaoge felt even more curious.
Zheng Ming and Chen Zhiliang naturally did not know what Yan Zhaoge was thinking. They just felt rather amazed at the rapid improvement of the cultivation bases of the Yan Family father and son.
"Right, Little Friend Yan, there's still one more thing," Chen Zhiliang's expression turned somewhat solemn, "The Grand Xuan Dynasty has sent reinforcements over in the Royal Reed Sea."
Actually, to the North Sea Sword Pavilion, Copper Men Island and the other powers who had always been operating in the Royal Reed Sea, the other party could not be considered a newcomer.
On the contrary, they were extremely familiar with him. It was just that having not seen him for some time, everyone had thought that he had long since died of this world.
The Grand Xuan Dynasty's second monarch, King Xuancheng.
It would still be fine if it was just that. However, King Xuancheng who had been an early Immortal Bridge Martial Saint that year had already reached the eighth level of the Martial Saint realm, the mid Immortal Bridge Martial Saint realm. This was already a headache for Gu Hong of the North Sea Sword Pavilion and Gongsun Wu of Copper Men Island.
The founding monarch of the Grand Xuan Dynasty that year, King Xuanwen, had presided over the Royal Reed Sea as an eighth level Martial Saint, conquering the lands of the Grand Xuan Dynasty alongside Shen Lingzi and Daoist Shi.
While King Xuancheng had been inferior to his father in the past, he was clearly no longer the same now.
Yan Zhaoge was not surprised that the Grand Xuan Dynasty had sent powerful reinforcements into the Royal Reed Sea. It was just that he was rather taken aback by the candidates.
"Shen Lingzi and Daoist Shi have not appeared?"
Unlike King Xuanwen who was already confirmed to be dead, Shen Lingzi and Daoist Shi had been missing from the Royal Reed Sea for many years like King Xuancheng. Still, their fates were actually uncertain.
Zheng Ming said, "Currently not."
Golden Court Mountain knew that King Xuancheng had entered the Royal Reed Sea.
After entering the Royal Reed Sea, this monarch had not done anything else as he had only stabilised the situation of the Grand Xuan Dynasty once more before going into seclusion.
Those who understood the situation would all know that his current focus was on the Heaven Bearing Efficate Formation.
It was precisely because of this that Golden Court Mountain had allowed him to return to the Royal Reed Sea.
Still, as time passed, when Kang Ping and the others had emerged from the depths of the Clear Scenic Region, the Grand Xuan Dynasty should be making further moves as they had sufficient manpower.
Yan Zhaoge pondered for a moment before cupping his hands towards Zheng Ming and Chen Zhiliang, "After meeting the Southeastern Exalt later, this Yan will first return to the Royal Reed Sea. Take care, the two of you."
