"After the date of the battle was decided, the Encompassing Emperor and the Earth Exalt left the World beyond Worlds. The Brocade Emperor did not seem to have returned to Kunlun Mountain's Ingenious Flying Peak either."
Liu Xiangtong continued, "But recently, the Earth Sovereign seems to have returned to bear witness to this battle."
Hearing Liu Xiangtong's words, Yan Zhaoge's previously suspended heart was instantly put at ease.
Outside the World beyond Worlds, some major events were likely to occur in the infinite extradimensional space.
As a result, it attracted the attention of many peak experts of the World beyond Worlds.
Yan Zhaoge who already knew of the existence of the Immortal Court and Buddhism deduced that it was most likely related to them.
Mars Halberd probably knew about the existence of the Immortal Court and the Buddhist Sect.
After all, he had followed the Exalted Fire Luminary in stabilizing the World beyond Worlds in the past. He could also be said to be of the orthodox Three Clear lineage, and had ties with the World beyond Worlds.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this that he had agreed to postpone his battle with the Brocade Emperor.
After deciding on the date of the battle, the Brocade Emperor, the Encompassing Emperor and the others hurried to extradimensional space.
The situation there seemed to be rather tense such that the Brocade Emperor had even postponed his battle with Mars Halberd to deal with matters there first.
It was very likely that the Concealed Sovereign and the Female Emperor had stayed behind to maintain the stability of the World beyond Worlds.
Under such circumstances, as one of the Five Emperors, since the Female Empress had decided to stay behind, then the Heaven Emperor would most likely not stay behind, and would also head for the outer realm void.
However, he still couldn't let his guard down.
With the Brocade Emperor being free today, he could return to complete his battle with Mars Halberd. Who knew if the Heaven Emperor would return to the World beyond Worlds as well?
Moreover, the outcome of the battle between the Brocade Emperor and Mars Halberd was still unknown.
Yan Zhaoge exchanged glances with Fu Ting, nodding slightly.
Both of them could understand the importance of this matter.
However, their actions fell into Liu Xiangtong's eyes, causing his expression to involuntarily become even stranger.
Fu Ting cupped her hands towards Liu Xiangtong, "I only found out about this matter today. Since I know about it, of course I can't miss it. I wonder if Chief Liu can point me in the right direction?"
Liu Xiangtong hurriedly collected his thoughts and said seriously, "Of course."
Saying thus, he led the way as Yan Zhaoge and Fu Ting both followed suit.
In the World beyond Worlds, battles between Emperor-level experts were extremely rare.
Even if there were conflicts between the Five Emperors and they fought with each other, it was rare for them to fall out with each other.
Even if they did, the Three Sovereigns might intervene.
For today's battle, firstly, the Three Sovereigns seemed to have their own matters to attend to, and secondly, Mars Halberd's situation was special, which was why he was able to participate.
Yan Zhaoge was also very interested in this.
However, even he could not get close to the battle between the two Great Emperors.
There were so many people there today. Although they said that they were spectators, they were actually unable to get close. It could only be said that they all wanted to witness this rare grand event.
The slightest bit of carelessness could cause one to be swept away by the shockwaves, and there would be no one to blame even if one died.
"Although we don't dare to get close, just being able to sense the changes in the clash of energies from afar is also extremely beneficial to us."
Liu Xiangtong sighed in admiration, "I can only hope that the Brocade Emperor and Mars Halberd do not clear the area in advance."
In a duel between experts, some didn't mind others watching from the sidelines, while others might clear the place. It all depended on the wishes of both parties.
Fu Ting didn't say anything more. She just followed behind Liu Xiangtong silently.
After walking for who knew how long, Yan Zhaoge's heart jolted. Gazing over, he saw a clump of light in the distance, lying amidst the darkness of space.
The ball of light wasn't bright. It looked yellowish and gray.
It was oval and shaped like a chicken egg.
A heavy, heavy intent emanated from within, causing the trio to feel as though they were facing the vast, boundless earth of the World beyond Worlds that bore all things.
Yan Zhaoge's eyes lit up slightly, "Oh, condensing one's true essence, virtually creating an actual world?"
Fu Ting and Liu Xiangtong both nodded. "It's the work of an Earth Supreme."
Of the World beyond Worlds' Ten Exalts, the Southeastern Exalt Cao Jie, the Northeastern Exalt Liu Zhenggu and the Southern Exalt Zhuang Shen had all presided over a region, being lords of a territory.
The East, West, North, South, East, South, Southwest, Northeast, and Northwest Supremes were all the same.
Meanwhile, the other two Exalts resided in the central Jun Heaven Territory.
The central Jun Heaven Territory was where the Kunlun Mountain was located. The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors had each established their own abodes and dao rite grounds there.
Although the peak of the Martial Saint Realm was strong, he was still a revered figure in the human world.
In the central Jun Heaven Territory, he naturally could not act like the other eight Territories, where his words carried enormous weight and he reigned supreme.
Still, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were often not in the World beyond Worlds or cultivating for long periods of time.
Therefore, these Immortal Realm experts seldom interfered with the daily affairs of the central Jun Heaven Territory.
The other Exalt's whereabouts were also uncertain. Therefore, the affairs of the central Jun Heaven Territory, big or small, were actually all handled by the Earth Exalt.
The Earth Exalt was a personal disciple of the Earthly Sovereign as his current title was related to the Earthly Sovereign.
It was also rare for Exalts to directly clash with one another.
Still, it had long since been rumoured in the World beyond Worlds that the Upper and Lower were superior to the Eight Directions.
Sects and experts who could establish themselves in the central Jun Heaven Territory were all not simple figures.
Still, it was not just them who had to submit to the Earth Exalt's rule. Even martial practitioners of the lineage of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors like Fu Ting of Kunlun Mountain had to give face to the Earth Exalt as well.
To a certain extent, the Earth Exalt was like Cao Jie and Liu Zhenggu in that he was the lord of a territory.
The lord of the central Jun Heaven Territory.
Besides the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and the other Exalt, he could control everyone else.
"I've gone to see the Earth Exalt. Will the two of you be coming along?"
The Earth Exalt was a senior as well as the referee of this battle. While it was necessary for Fu Ting to go over and greet him, she would not be staying behind.
The Brocade Emperor had arranged a battle with someone else. His Ingenious Flying Peak would definitely be coming. After meeting the Earth Exalt, Fu Ting could just meet up with her fellow disciples.
Liu Xiangtong had always been backed by Ingenious Flying Peak in the central Jun Heaven Territory. Still, if he could form a good relationship with the Earth Exalt and become familiar with him, he would naturally be happy to do so. Therefore, he was prepared to accompany Fu Ting.
Yan Zhaoge, however, did not intend to go over.
The central Jun Heaven Territory and the eastern Vast Heaven Territory were similarly searching for Xue Chuqing.
Without knowing the relationship between the two, it might be very difficult to link them together. Still, there was no harm in being careful.
Actually, Yan Zhaoge had wondered before whether Fu Ting and the descendants of Ingenious Flying Peak had already seen through something like Liu Zhenggu and Cao Jie had.
Perhaps they had not. After all, Ingenious Flying Peak had not participated in the search for Xue Chuqing.
Yet, what about the Brocade Emperor?
He had previously invited him and Yan Di to the Minor No Hatred dao arena as guests. Had he considered this in this regard?
While he had some guesses, Yan Zhaoge's expression was calm as ever, no fluctuations in it in the least.
Fu Ting did not force him, "My fellow disciples of Ingenious Flying Peak should already be in the vicinity. If Young Master Yan is willing, you can first meet up with them."
Yan Zhaoge smiled, "I will have to trouble you again."
After watching the two of them head towards that clump of light, Yan Zhaoge turned and walked elsewhere.
When the experts of Ingenious Flying Peak arrived, they would also set up a formation amidst space like the Earth Exalt.
Fu Ting had given him a jade talisman that resembled a red lotus whilst also a flame which could help him guide the way at close range.
After travelling for a while longer, Yan Zhaoge's eyes lit up once more.
In the distance, he indeed saw an extremely massive crimson lotus blooming soundlessly amidst the darkness of space.
Streams of plain-coloured cloud qi wreathed the surroundings of the red lotus.
