The final outcome of this great battle between the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory and the southern Blazing Heaven Territory ultimately rested on the Southeastern Exalt Cao Jie and the Southern Exalt Zhuang Shen.
However, various signs earlier indicated that the Heaven Emperor who stood behind the Grand Xuan Dynasty would very likely interfere in this matter.
It was because of this that the Southern Exalt Zhuang Shen and the southern Blazing Heaven Territory had been so domineering, causing a great battle between the two territories.
If the Southeastern Exalt Cao Jie was tied down by the Heaven Emperor and unable to participate in the battle, there would be no one in the entire southeastern Yang Heaven Territory who would be able to stand against the Southern Exalt Zhuang Shen.
In terms of the overall situation, the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory and Yan Zhaoge and Broad Creed Mountain of the Royal Reed Sea were actually not all that beneficial to them.
This did not stop Yan Zhaoge and Broad Creed Mountain from dealing the Grand Xuan Dynasty a heavy blow when they came knocking.
Still, after having dealt with the problem of the Grand Xuan Dynasty, Yan Zhaoge would have to consider the threat that might soon arrive.
Researching how to destroy the Sky Wound was one of them.
Destroying the wound of the sky did not cut off the path of ascension for the martial artists of the lower realms.
It was just that martial practitioners of the lower worlds who had yet to attain the fourth level of the Martial Saint realm were unable to make use of external objects to ascend to the World beyond Worlds.
At the same time, it would also sever the path of the World beyond Worlds' experts directly descending to the lower worlds.
If the southern Blazing Heaven Territory emerged victorious and occupied the Royal Reed Sea, the wounds of the sky in the Spirit Inheritance Region would be a problem even as Broad Creed Mountain moved away from the World beyond Worlds.
The wound of the sky in the Phoenix Bearing Region that led to the Vast Ocean World was still fine. After all, the Vast Ocean World was not directly connected to the Eight Extremities World.
However, the wounds of the sky here in the Spirit Inheritance Region led directly to the Eight Extremities World.
If Broad Creed Mountain were to relocate in the World beyond Worlds, they would definitely not leave this place to their enemies.
Of course, Yan Zhaoge had also made some preparations. Other than researching a method to completely seal the wound of the sky, he was also gathering materials to forge treasures like the Heavenly Connection Jade.
However, this kind of treasure was rare after all, and the demand was high, so there was a relatively large shortage.
Because Yuan Zhengfeng had gone to the border, Broad Creed Mountain had also paid close attention to the battle there. Therefore, the news had been transmitted back in a very timely manner.
However, just as Yan Zhaoge received the previous piece of news, the scenery of the heavens and earth before him suddenly vaguely changed.
The circulation of the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth clearly changed, showing signs of disorder.
Yan Zhaoge left the room he was in, standing atop Broad Creed Mountain and gazing towards the border between the southern Blazing Heaven Territory and the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory in the west.
The western sky had shockingly turned a fiery red.
Surging heatwaves continuously assaulted his face.
Beside him, Ah Hu had a solemn expression on his face, "Young Master, the Southern Exalt has killed his way over so quickly?"
Yan Zhaoge gazed towards the west, "Not yet. I have just arrived at the border. Still, the Southern Exalt Zhuang Shen has indeed personally made a move this time."
Ah Hu was dumbfounded. "Although we are not far from the border, we are still separated by the Desert Mountain Continent and the Clear Scenic Continent. How can we see the commotion he makes at the border?"
"What else do you think?" Yan Zhaoge casually answered, "The tenth level of the Martial Saint realm, a Human Exalt. That is not just for show. Instead, they are existences who truly stand at the very peak of the human world, surpassing the boundary between human and Immortal and ascending to the Immortal realm."
"Otherwise, why would he be called Sovereign?"
Ah Hu touched his head and subconsciously shrank his neck.
Seeing this, Yan Zhaoge smiled, "Before the Great Calamity, experts of the tenth level of the Martial Saint realm were usually called Human Immortals or False Immortals, meaning that they were just a single step away from True Immortals."
"When we martial practitioners cultivate, breaking through space to see true Divinity, refining our acupoints to see Divinity. The more acupoints we have achieved Divinity, resonating with the stars of the actual universe, the greater our strength and the higher our cultivation base."
"Having attained a certain level, having stepped into the seventh level of the Martial Saint realm, we can be considered to be able to see a little of the shadow of the door to Immortality, stepping onto the bridge that leads to the Immortal realm. Therefore, it is called the Immortal Bridge."
Yan Zhaoge pointed towards the fiery red sky in the west, "Meanwhile, the tenth level of the Martial Saint realm is the true grand completion stage. It refers to martial practitioners having refined all their acupoints to become true Divinities, resonating with the stars of the universe. At this point, the internal universe of a martial practitioner is virtually already no different from the actual universe."
It could be said that experts of the tenth level of the Martial Saint realm stood at the end of the Immortal Bridge, the door to Immortality right before them.
If they could push open this door, the word 'Human Immortal' could be removed from it.
Looking at Ah Hu who was gradually realising this, Yan Zhaoge said, "With all the acupoints achieving Divinity together, resonating with the stars of the universe within their bodies, their internal universe virtually becoming completely real. This will bring about a complete transformation to the martial practitioner. This is actually also a preparation for pushing open the door to Immortality."
Even if there was still a single acupoint that had yet to be refined to Divinity, there would still be a qualitative difference from all of them. Therefore, the gap between the ninth and tenth levels of the Martial Saint realm was very great.
It was far greater than the gap between the ninth and tenth levels of the Martial Grandmaster realm and the ninth and tenth levels of the Martial Grandmaster realm.
Above them were Immortals and below them were humans. Therefore, they were known as Human Immortals.
This was where the title of Human Exalt came from.
Yan Zhaoge said, "The human body has many concealed acupoints which are extremely difficult to resonate with the stars of the universe. Therefore, it gets harder and harder to cultivate in the later stages. Some late Immortal Bridge Martial Saints are just lacking a few acupoints. However, just these few acupoints are often so close yet worlds apart that it is as difficult as ascending to the heavens."
Ah Hu asked nervously, "Young Master, will that old Chief be fine?"
Yan Zhaoge headed for the main hall of the Heaven Rising Peak, saying as he did so, "If things go awry, the Shadow Mountain Sword King and the other experts of the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory should have decisively retreated. As long as Grand Master and everyone else leave in time, there shouldn't be any problems."
Ah Hu's expression relaxed somewhat, "Young Master, is there some trick to this?"
Yan Zhaoge smacked his lips, "The Southern Exalt Zhuang Shen who cultivates in the Phoenix True Form Scripture is indeed powerful. Still, there are many limitations to it as well."
"Wutong Slope does not have a cultivation technique for the dawn mist of moral virtue. There is no need to talk about it."
"I am not sure if the Southern Exalt knows the water ripples of holy virtue. If he does, he would have to restrain himself and refrain from doing things like bullying the weak as the strong."
"He cultivates in the white qi of nether virtue, his life force always remaining untainted by killing tribulations. Conversely, he would have to leave some leeway for others as well, not wanting to kill them all."
At this point, Yan Zhaoge curled his lips, "Of course, it is not that he really can't do it. It is just that it would be of no benefit to his cultivation. If he does it too much, it might even be harmful, causing his cultivation base to stagnate or even regress, making it hard for him to improve in the future."
"As for whether or not he should do things that go against the five virtues, how much he should do or how little he should do, it is still something that the martial practitioner himself has to weigh and decide on."
Hearing this, Ah Hu nodded, "If the Shadow Mountain Sword King and the old Chief and the others do not fight to the death and insist on going against the Southern Exalt to the end, there should be no need for the Southern Exalt to act viciously against them."
Yan Zhaoge arrived at the entrance of the main hall at the top of the Heaven Rising Peak, looking back towards the west.
The western half of the sky had already been completely dyed fiery red, also rapidly extending in this direction.
Yan Zhaoge raised his brows, "He would definitely be able to do it to me."
