Although Yan Zhaoge was a little concerned about the Exalted Solar Luminary – Gao Han, the information he knew was too little. As such, Yan Zhaoge stopped thinking about it.
The first thing he had to consider now was how to return to the World beyond Worlds as soon as possible.
Yan Zhaoge asked Fu Ting about this. Fu Ting smiled bitterly.
She tapped her forehead with her finger. "I don't have any good ideas for now. I can only find my way back slowly."
Yan Zhaoge realised that in activating the restrictions of the Minor No Hatred dao arena earlier, Fu Ting had also expended some of her own preparations.
Otherwise, with how much the Brocade Emperor cared for her, he would definitely have left behind some methods on her that would allow Fu Ting to return to the World beyond Worlds' Kunlun Mountain as soon as possible in such a situation where she was trapped amidst chaotic space.
But now, these methods could not be used.
If the spacetime passageway had not been slashed apart earlier, they might have been able to return to the World beyond Worlds together.
Unfortunately, Mars Halberd was an Immortal Weapon after all, and an Immortal Weapon that could exert its own strength.
Thinking of Mars Halberd, Yan Zhaoge and Fu Ting exchanged glances, bitter smiles appearing on their faces.
From the looks of it, the other party had no intention of leaving after shattering the Minor No Hatred Dao Arena.
It actually remained where it was, seemingly waiting for the Brocade Emperor to return.
He was arrogant and domineering.
Yan Zhaoge shook his head, identifying the direction of the space before him, "Forget it, let's not think about that for now. Let's figure out where we are first."
Fu Ting also pulled herself together and observed the surroundings.
Even though he had destroyed the Minor No Hatred dao arena in the end, he had still been unable to protect those three experts of the Dragon race in the end, and could only watch as they were killed right before his eyes.
For Fu Ting, who had always been a proud daughter of the heavens and had always been successful, today's matter could be considered a rare setback.
In recent years, the only thing that could make Fu Ting feel so aggrieved was the disappearance of the Profound Sky Purple Gold Furnace and the disappearance of her sect elders in the black hole.
What made Fu Ting feel both exasperated and amused was that Yan Zhaoge had actually been involved in both of the rare times she had suffered such a huge loss.
However, she was strong-willed and quickly adjusted her state of mind.
The two of them floated in the void for an unknown period of time. As the space before them changed, the outline of a world appeared.
Yan Zhaoge and Fu Ting exchanged glances before entering that world together.
As soon as they entered, the dimensional domain instantly distorted and shook, vaguely seeming like it wanted to squeeze Yan Zhaoge and Fu Ting out.
As the two of them circulated their energies, they became one with the world in front of them, and the repulsive force immediately weakened.
Upon entering, Zhang Xuan was greeted by the sight of a lush forest.
Yan Zhaoge stabilised himself, gazing into the distance, "The spiritual qi flow here is very unusual …"
Both of them were Seeing Divinity Martial Saint experts, but they were able to find shelter in this world very normally.
It was unlike lower worlds like the Eight Extremities World, the Vast Ocean World and the Floating Gate World.
Yet, it did not seem like he had returned to the World beyond Worlds.
Sensing this, Yan Zhaoge could not help but pull back the corners of his mouth, "I hope that this is the Roving Jade Heavens. Otherwise … is this yet another Buddhist world?"
"Young Master Yan also knows of the existence of the world of Buddhism?" As the daughter of the Brocade Emperor, Fu Ting knew many things that martial practitioners of the same cultivation level did not.
She was rather surprised that Yan Zhaoge knew about this, "Uncle Cao even told you this?"
Yan Zhaoge was silent for a moment before he smiled, "It was not the Southeastern Exalt who told me. To tell you the truth, while searching for that furnace previously, amidst the chaos in space afterwards, this Yan and Gao Qing of the Roving Jade Heavens coincidentally entered a Buddhist world. Only then did I learn of some things."
Fu Ting nodded, sighing, "It is no wonder then."
Looking at Yan Zhaoge, she said, "My father and the other Emperors have kept this a secret out of consideration for the stability of the World beyond Worlds and the many lower worlds."
"There seems to be some hidden story that I am not aware of. While my father did not say it clearly, it seems to be very complicated."
Hearing her words, Yan Zhaoge smiled, "You can rest assured, Miss Fu. This Yan did not openly announce it after returning from that Buddhist world. I have always kept my mouth shut."
Fu Ting smiled as well, "I believe that."
The two sensed the spiritual qi veins of the heavens and the earth as they flew.
Signs of human activity could vaguely be seen in the distance.
Yet, accompanied by the rising smoke, there was also a faint treasured light that soared into the sky.
This was a treasured light that was formed from the power of faith after condensing to a certain extent, turning illusory into real.
"It is not the Roving Jade Heavens, but a Buddhist world in the end?" As Yan Zhaoge looked at it, he suddenly frowned, "… Wait, that's not right!"
He was shocked, "That is not Buddha light!"
Beside him, Fu Ting's expression gradually changed as she carefully stared at that treasured light that rose into the sky, "Why … why does it look like the power of faith condensed from the power of faith of our Daoism?"
Exchanging glances, the two could both see the astonishment within the depths of the other's eyes.
Indeed, Daoism also had its power of faith.
Whether it was Broad Creed Mountain, Ingenious Flying Peak or any other Daoist martial lineage.
Apart from the ranking of their ancestors, they would also worship the ancestors of the Three Clear lineages.
Still, that was just the simplest form of worship, a pure form of respect.
It was just like when the Buddha, the Gautama Buddha, was still in this world that year.
Yet, this treasured light condensed from the power of faith of Daoism was different from that of ordinary worshippers.
It was similar to the current Buddhist scriptures of the Future Buddha as it was condensed from the power of faith of all lifeforms!
Those who sang of the dao did not seek to cultivate themselves, instead placing their hopes and dreams on a certain existence.
Yan Zhaoge inhaled deeply, swivelling his head to look at Fu Ting, asking directly, "From the looks of Gao Qing and her fellow disciples, the Roving Jade Heavens should not do such a thing."
"Still, Miss Gao Qing might only be able to represent her lineage. From what you know, is there anyone else in the Roving Jade Heavens who would do such a thing?"
Fu Ting's expression was complex, but she did not slander the Roving Jade Heavens as she instead said honestly, "From what I know, no."
Yan Zhaoge gazed at that treasured light that connected to the heavens, "This does not seem to be some place in the World beyond Worlds, nor is it a lower world like the Eight Extremities World …"
The two pondered for a moment before continuing on their way towards a populated area.
Having arrived nearby, they landed. As they walked forward, they saw a city on a plain with numerous villages around it.
Streaks of treasured light arose from both the villages and the city, some dense while others faint. The treasured light that arose from the city was clearly denser and more condensed.
Yan Zhaoge and Fu Ting stealthily entered. The common language of the people here was different from that of the World beyond Worlds as it was extremely strenuous for Yan Zhaoge to understand.
Still, Yan Zhaoge gradually understood who they were worshipping.
"Immeasurable Heavenly Lord?"
Yan Zhaoge and Fu Ting stared at one another, both having blank looks on their faces.
As disciples of the Three Purities, they would often casually chant 'Three Immeasurables' or 'Immeasurable Heavenly Lord for Blessings, Inconceivable Merit' in formal settings. The two naturally knew this.
The 'Immeasurable Heavenly Lord' here referred to 'innumerable Heavenly Lords' or 'many Heavenly Lords' rather than the title of a single existence.
'Immeasurable Heavenly Lord for Blessings' was the complete saying. Still, 'Inconceivable Merit' should be added behind it.
However, the people of this world, whether they were martial practitioners or ordinary citizens, all worshipping the name of the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord was like Buddhist disciples worshipping the Future Buddha, chanting 'Namo Maitreya Buddha'. It was clearly referring to a single existence.
Also, it was not a short form.
The problem was that Daoism had never had a Grand Heavenly Lord with the title of 'Immeasurable Heavenly Lord'.
Yan Zhaoge narrowed his eyes, "… What the hell?"
