Because Yan Zhaoge had the Peerless Heavenly Scripture as his foundation, he was more or less inclined towards the lineage of the Primordial Heavenly Lord's Jade Clear lineage.
At least, that was the case for now.
Fortunately, the Three Pure Ones were a single entity and they were able to communicate with each other. There were traces of their Dao arts in the first place.
However, the Lord of Dao and Virtue's Grand Clear lineage and the Lord of Numinous Treasure's Prime Clear lineage were still necessary.
This was especially so when Yan Zhaoge had already reached the third level of the Martial Saint realm, already standing at the peak of the Merging Avatar Martial Saint realm.
What he needed to do next was to break through a major bottleneck and break through space to see true Divinity, achieving the Seeing Divinity Martial Saint realm.
If Yan Zhaoge wanted to pursue perfection, it would be best if the martial arts of the Three Clear lineages each had a supreme direct lineage martial art for Yan Zhaoge to study.
In the Jade Clear lineage, besides the Peerless Heavenly Scripture, Yan Zhaoge also cultivated in the Cyclic Heavenly Scripture and the Yin Yang Heavenly Scripture.
Recently, he had even begun to delve into the Life Creation Heavenly Tome. Apart from that, he also had the complete Omniscient Heavenly Tome of All Phenomena and a fragment of the Aeon Light Heavenly Tome.
Whatever the reason, the Prime Clear lineage had just delivered the Immortal Trapping Sword Manual to him at the very least, instantly satisfying Yan Zhaoge's needs.
Therefore, for the current Yan Zhaoge, there was still one final hurdle that he had to overcome. That was the supreme martial arts of the Grand Clear lineage.
The Grand Clear lineage was different from the Jade Clear and Prime Clear lineages.
While there was a Daodejing which recorded the supreme martial arts of the Grand Clear direct lineage such as the Grand Cosmos Five Grands, ninety percent of the supreme martial arts of Daoism currently circulating beneath the heavens actually originated from the Daodejing.
Therefore, when Yan Zhaoge had Transcended Mortality and entered Sainthood, he had relied on various martial arts to reverse engineer the Lord of Dao and Virtue's great virtue and merit in spreading the dao. Thus, he had simultaneously cultivated in the Three Purities and achieved Sainthood.
In theory, he could use the same method now.
He just needed to fuse more martial arts together to push it forward.
This was not a difficult thing for Yan Zhaoge who possessed the martial repository of the Heavenly Court's Divine Palace in pre-Great Calamity times.
However, such a method was not perfect enough. His foundation was unstable as it would cause Yan Zhaoge's future path to become more and more difficult.
Throughout the ages, Yan Zhaoge wasn't the only one who had the thought of cultivating in the Three Purities and possessing boundless prowess.
There was no lack of geniuses among them, but almost no one could walk this path in the end.
The difficulty was already so high in the first place. If his foundation was even more unstable, his path would become narrower and narrower. Yan Zhaoge could virtually already foresee his tragic end.
He had crossed the first stage when he transcended mortality and entered sainthood, so it was not a big deal for him to use such a trick.
But now that he was trying to break through to the second stage, he had to avoid using this method as much as possible.
While Yan Zhaoge was hard to come by, it was not like he was completely helpless against it.
He had two alternatives that he could try.
Yan Zhaoge's first plan was to target the Southeastern Exalt Cao Jie.
Golden Court Mountain's lineage originated from the Heaven Reigning Purple Tenuity North Pole Grand Sovereign Emperor, and the Heavenly Cycle Righteousness of this lineage was born from the Grand Clear lineage of the Book of Daoism.
He was currently on pretty good terms with Golden Court Mountain. If he went to seek guidance from them, the Southeastern Exalt would most likely not directly reject him.
Of course, it was just a simple instruction.
If Yan Zhaoge wanted the other party to bestow him with their true legacy, it would still be impossible if he did not enter Golden Court Mountain.
However, Yan Zhaoge had his own methods.
Besides being renowned in the dao of the sword in the World beyond Worlds, the Southeastern Exalt Cao Jie was similarly top-notch in the dao of alchemy.
The Eastern Exalt of the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor's legacy who cultivated in the Longevity Martial Scripture was renowned beneath the heavens for his alchemy. Yet, even he dared not say that he would definitely surpass the sword cultivator Cao Jie in the dao of alchemy.
Cao Jie's passion for alchemy was something that the entire world knew of.
Yan Zhaoge was certain that some of the pill formulas that had been preserved in the martial repository of the Heavenly Court's Divine Palace in the past would attract Cao Jie's interest.
Many of these pill formulas had already been lost. Any one of them could be used as a bargaining chip for Yan Zhaoge.
The second plan was for Yan Zhaoge to target the lineage of the Brocade Emperor at Kunlun Mountain's Ingenious Flying Peak's Red Lotus Cliff.
Strictly speaking, as compared to Cao Jie who originated from the legacy of the Purple Tenuity Emperor, the Brocade Emperor was of the more orthodox direct lineage of the Grand Clear lineage.
While he had previously been vying for the Profound Sky Purple Gold Furnace with Fu Ting and the others, the atmosphere had still been rather harmonious.
That was then and this was now. As long as the other party did not know that the Profound Sky Purple Gold Furnace had actually ended up in Yan Zhaoge's hands in the end, many things could still be discussed.
It was clearly impossible for him to obtain a supreme martial art of the Grand Clear lineage from Fu Ting. Yan Zhaoge would have to bring out a bargaining chip to exchange for it.
This bargaining chip could be the pill formula of some divine pill or some supreme martial art that Yan Zhaoge grasped.
While the Grand Clear direct lineage that the Brocade Emperor's lineage cultivated in was already the peak legacies of Daoism, it was not like they did not desire supreme martial arts of the same level.
Yan Zhaoge could attempt either of these two paths. Still, he was not completely confident of succeeding. Also, there were some hidden concerns as well, especially with the second option.
At the same time, whatever it was, Yan Zhaoge would have to pay a price for it.
There was no such thing as a free lunch in this world. This was also a very normal thing.
Still, as someone who was born in the year of the Pixiu and was insatiably greedy, only seeking to get in and not give out, Yan Zhaoge would naturally prefer to gain something without risking anything.
Or it should be said that if he did it himself, he would be well-fed.
Therefore, Yan Zhaoge was currently working hard in this regard.
He embraced yin and yang with his hands, his aura circulating as it gradually transformed into the phenomenon of Taiji.
Yan Zhaoge's mind unceasingly surfaced the Taiji Yin Yang Palm executed by Fu Ting when he had clashed with her back then.
At that time, Yan Zhaoge had relied on the profundities of the simultaneous cultivation of the Three Purities and his foundation of the Peerless Heavenly Scripture and the Yin Yang Heavenly Scripture to successfully imitate the Taiji Yin Yang Palm, causing Fu Ting who had wanted to probe him to fail miserably.
While Fu Ting and the other Ingenious Flying Peak experts had been deceived, Yan Zhaoge himself was well aware that that had not been the true Taiji Yin Yang Palm.
However, this experience had given Yan Zhaoge an opportunity.
It was an opportunity for him to try to derive the Taiji Yin Yang Palm, a peerless martial art.
Logically speaking, such a thing was actually very inconceivable even if Yan Zhaoge cultivated in the Three Purities simultaneously.
The Taiji Yin Yang Palm was the most orthodox supreme martial art of the Grand Clear lineage recorded in the Book of Dao and Virtue after all. How could it be so easily researched and created by others?
Yan Zhaoge possessed the Peerless Heavenly Scripture and a fragmented version of the Aeon Light Heavenly Scripture. It would be very difficult for him to derive the complete Aeon Light Heavenly Scripture.
However, in his recent cultivation process, Yan Zhaoge had gradually discovered some unique aspects of himself.
He possessed an exceptionally acute sense of touch towards supreme martial arts of the Grand Clear lineage.
Whether it was in the Eight Extremities World or the World beyond Worlds before this, he had never directly clashed with direct lineages of the Grand Clear lineage before. Therefore, he had not discovered it.
Still, after clashing with Fu Ting, Yan Zhaoge had gradually come to realise that something was wrong.
He had yet to understand exactly what was going on.
While he felt doubtful, for the time being, this sort of unique talent was undoubtedly extremely beneficial to him.
Of course, even so, analysing the Taiji Yin Yang Palm was still an extremely difficult process.
Even if he succeeded, it would not be the true direct lineage Taiji Yin Yang Palm that was exactly like Fu Ting's.
Instead, the Taiji Yin Yang Palm that belonged to Yan Zhaoge would appear much weaker as compared to the true Grand Cosmos Five Manifestations.
Still, it was already sufficient for the current Yan Zhaoge to attempt a breakthrough.
Yan Zhaoge's expression was calm as he gradually pushed forward with his hands. The Taiji diagram between his palms rotated slower and slower as the power within grew stronger and stronger. (To be continued.)
