Looking at the jade talisman, Yan Zhaoge did not rush to open it, instead pondering for a moment before asking, "Han Long 'er, can you see through that person's cultivation base as well as his background?"
Ying Longtu shook his head, "I can't tell. His cultivation should be much higher than mine."
Yan Zhaoge nodded silently before extending his hand, placing his finger on the wrist of the youth before him.
The Ying Longtu in front of him was no ordinary person.
He had long since officially broken Yan Di's record as the youngest Martial Grandmaster in the Eight Extremities World.
A sixteen year old Martial Grandmaster was unparalleled in the Eight Extremities World.
Speaking of which, being able to become a Martial Scholar at this age, he was already an elite amongst elites in the Eight Extremities World, a genius amongst geniuses.
While Yan Zhaoge could not be certain whether becoming a Martial Grandmaster at the age of sixteen was the record in the World beyond Worlds, even if it wasn't, those who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Han Long 'er were probably as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns.
The current Han Long 'er was not even twenty years old, but he had recently broken through to the fourth level of the Martial Grandmaster realm, the early Essence Spirit stage.
He had yet to make a name for himself, but what he lacked was an opportunity and a stage.
All he needed was an opportunity to soar into the sky.
With the talent he had displayed, it would not be an exaggeration to say that his name would shake the entire World beyond Worlds.
If the person who had delivered the jade talisman had a much higher cultivation base than Han Long 'er, then it would not be difficult for him to see that Han Long' er was not an ordinary person.
Checking Han Long 'er's body, Yan Zhaoge found that no one had left behind any hidden injuries or tampered with them.
Since that was the case, it meant that the person who had given Han Long 'er the jade talisman didn't have any ill intentions. Otherwise, it wasn't impossible for that person to have secretly injured Han Long' er.
So, who could it be?
Looking at the jade talisman in his hand, a few possibilities instantly surfaced within Yan Zhaoge's mind.
But when he opened the jade talisman and comprehended the martial arts scripture contained within, he couldn't help but be astounded once more.
"This is … the Immortal Trapping Sword Manual?"
This time, Yan Zhaoge really felt that this was out of his expectations.
He composed himself and studied it carefully, comparing it with the Celestial Slashing Sword Manual in his hands.
A moment later, Yan Zhaoge's gaze turned deep and distant, "It is not a sword dao that the Jade Clear lineage comprehended after obtaining the Immortal Trapping Sword itself. Instead, it is one of the Numinous Treasure Four Swords of the Prime Clear lineage!"
This meant that the person who delivered the sword manual was likely of the Prime Clear direct lineage.
The direct lineage of the Prime Clear lineage was forbidden from entering the World beyond Worlds. This was the decree of the Earthly Sovereign which the entire World beyond Worlds silently abided by.
Still, this did not mean that descendants of the Prime Clear lineage would not be able to enter at all. Instead, it meant that they would be hard pressed to gain a foothold in the World beyond Worlds once their identities were exposed.
That was why Sun Zhongda had impersonated Yan Zhaoge back then, making it easier for him to act.
Only, why did the descendants of the Prime Clear lineage send him the Immortal Trapping Sword Manual?
He already knew that Sun Zhongda was in his hands, so he wanted to redeem him?
If it had been Gao Qing who had been captured by Yan Zhaoge, there might still have been some possibility. Was this Sun fella that important?
Some kind of reward or exchange?
In the Obscured Way World, while he had slaughtered all the Buddhists, it had also made it easier for Gao Qing and the other Prime Clear successors to escape.
However, it was far from enough for the Roving Jade Heavens to repay him with a peerless technique like the Immortal Trapping Sword Manual.
Techniques should not be passed down easily. This was a common principle for any lineage of inheritance.
Gifting weapons, pills, treasures, lending a hand to return a favor, etc. Any of these were possible, but who would use their family's peerless martial arts to return a favor?
And it wasn't even Yan Zhaoge who had asked for it, but rather them who had taken the initiative to send it over?
Even a fool would know that it was impossible.
"Having contacted Lin Hanhua, he knows that I cultivate in the Immortal Ending Sword?" Many thoughts instantly flashed through Yan Zhaoge's mind.
Perhaps the other party felt that he was different from the others of the World beyond Worlds, someone who could be roped in?
The strength and potential that Yan Zhaoge currently displayed were already extraordinary.
This was especially so when he was actually not alone.
Yan Di was his father, and Feng Yunsheng who wielded the Extreme Yin Crown and the Cold Sun Divine Sabre was his partner.
These were all geniuses whose strength and potential were worthy of the praise of the world.
While Yan Zhaoge had always thought highly of himself, he was really not boasting in this regard. The current him was worthy of others investing in him in advance.
"The Immortal Ending Sword aside, if I also successfully cultivate in the Immortal Trapping Sword, it would be fine if I did not expose it. However, if I did, those of the World beyond Worlds would not believe me if I said that I had no connection with the Prime Clear lineage."
Yan Zhaoge curled his lips, "Could this be a consideration as well? Is he betting on my willpower? "
Or perhaps that Exalted Solar Luminary whose whereabouts were unknown was actually hiding in the Roving Jade Heavens?
Was he going to make a move against him who had obtained his old treasure, the Extreme Yang Seal?
Yan Zhaoge pondered, not revealing anything on the surface as he casually asked Ying Longtu, "Were there any problems in the process of cultivating?"
Ying Longtu answered in a simple and honest manner, "There were some problems in the Vast Ocean World. After coming to the World beyond Worlds, it would be fine if I could consult Chief about them."
Yes, the current Ying Longtu had already become the next Broad Creed Mountain martial practitioner to have learnt all of the Eight Extreme Arts after Yuan Zhengfeng, Yan Di and Fang Zhun.
Whether it was profound or not was another matter. Still, Ying Longtu had indeed learnt all of the Eight Extreme Arts now.
After having learnt all of the Eight Extreme Arts, Ying Longtu's next choice of martial arts was not the Heavenly Broad Creed Palm, the Immeasurable Heavenly Sabre or the Limitless Heavenly Sword.
He learnt the Extreme Heaven Tyrannical Sabre that Yan Di had created.
In the Vast Ocean World and the Eight Extremities World, he had only been able to refer to the sabre manuals that Yan Di had left behind. After coming to the World beyond Worlds, he would be able to directly receive Yan Di's guidance.
Yan Zhaoge smiled and nodded, continuing to ponder the problem of the Immortal Trapping Sword Manual even as he conversed with Ying Longtu.
"The information I have on hand is still too little. It is not convenient for me to make a judgement."
Actually, there was still a rather small possibility.
Whether it was the waves stirred up in the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory or his dealings with Fu Ting and the other Ingenious Flying Peak martial practitioners, he had gradually begun to enter the sights of those peak figures of Kunlun Mountain.
Did the other party intend to use this to probe him who had suddenly sprung out of a lower world?
While the possibility was very small, even the complete Immortal Trapping Sword Manual of the Prime Clear direct lineage might not only be in the hands of descendants of the Prime Clear lineage.
Obtaining and preserving a martial art was not necessarily related to whether one cultivated in it or not.
As he pondered, Yan Zhaoge laughed self-deprecatingly, "Could it be that I am thinking too much?"
He shook his head. Compared to the other party's background, what he needed to decide now was what he should do next.
It was indisputable that the Immortal Trapping Sword Manual was one of the peak sword arts of this world.
Yan Zhaoge would definitely gladly accept a treasure that had been delivered to his doorstep.
What he was considering was how he could swallow it if this was bait while also avoiding being hooked by the other party.
In other words, there was not much to choose from a strategic perspective. What he needed to consider were the technical details.
To Yan Zhaoge, the significance of the Immortal Trapping Sword Manual was even more extraordinary.
If he wanted to simultaneously cultivate in the Three Purities, besides the Primordial Heavenly Scriptures of the Jade Clear lineage, he would also need the martial arts of the Grand Clear and Prime Clear lineages.
This Immortal Trapping Sword Manual before him was like someone sending him a pillow just when he was feeling sleepy. (To be continued.)
