Looking at Tao Yu, Yan Zhaoge smiled, "Origin Lady overpraises me."
Apart from the Jade Clear and Grand Clear direct lineages, the martial arts of Daoism that circulated in the world were more or less related to the Grand Clear lineage.
As an expert of the ninth level of the Martial Saint realm and of the Grand Clear direct lineage, not only did Tao Yu recognise the Dim Radiant Twelve Arts, he even recognised the Dark Moon Pill Scripture.
As she had said, the Dark Moon Pill Scripture had not circulated in the World beyond Worlds of post-Great Calamity times.
The reason why Tao Yu was able to recognize it was because his master had a long history.
As for the Aeon Light Heavenly Scripture, it wasn't hard for her to recognize it. After all, the Jade Clear lineage's Primordial Heavenly Scripture was too famous.
What made Tao Yu somewhat suspicious was that the ultimate technique that involved the mysteries of space was naturally the Immortal Trapping Sword.
Still, while some of the concept of the Immortal Trapping Sword Manual had been integrated into Yan Zhaoge's Thunder of Eternal Night, Tao Yu was unable to see through it for the time being.
Currently looking at Yan Zhaoge, there was still no good will to be seen within her eyes.
While the Brocade Emperor was on good terms with the Southeastern Exalt, the conflict between Tao Yu and the Southeastern Exalt Cao Jie was rather deep.
Some of this had to do with the Western Exalt.
Tao Yu and the Western Exalt's wife had been close friends since their youth while the Western Exalt and Cao Jie were on bad terms.
If it was said that Tao Yu and Cao Jie only disliked each other in the beginning, then after so many years, the conflicts, both big and small, had gradually become irreconcilable.
Even without the Western Exalt, it would already be difficult for Tao Yu and Cao Jie to walk together now.
Moreover, when Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di had gone to the Minor No Hatred dao arena previously, it had been Fu Ting who had received them.
Tao Yu had mixed feelings about Fu Ting.
As she saw it, Fu Ting had definitely played a part in the Brocade Emperor treating Yan Zhaoge and Yan Di differently.
On the other hand, Fu Ting was also very close to Golden Court Mountain.
Tao Yu was naturally unhappy that Yan Zhaoge had a close relationship with both Cao Jie and Fu Ting at the same time.
However, after the encounter just now, Tao Yu, just like Zeng Mo and the others, noticed that the young man before them seemed to be very different from what they had expected.
Currently, the gaze with which she was looking at Yan Zhaoge did not contain any contempt at all.
In that clash just now, even as Yan Zhaoge resisted her, he had also been able to maintain the Thunder of Eternal Night that enveloped those of Nongli Mountain from being broken. This was equivalent to having won a move.
It was true that Yan Zhaoge wielded the Heaven Earth Reversing Axe.
Yet, how many late Seeing Divinity Martial Saints of the sixth level of the Martial Saint realm would be able to defeat her, Tao Yu, by relying on a high-grade Sacred Artifact that had yet to exert its full power?
Fu Ting couldn't do it.
Even mid Immortal Bridge Martial Saints who were not on the level of Zeng Mo and Long Hanhua might not be able to accomplish this.
However, Yan Zhaoge had done it.
Tao Yu, who had always been arrogant, was also shocked at this moment.
There was no need to mention the Dim Radiant Emperor since he was already dead.
Still, thinking of the Extreme Yang Seal and the Extreme Yin Crown, Tao Yu's mind was momentarily filled with countless thoughts.
Yan Zhaoge stood unhurriedly, smiling as he looked at Tao Yu, his expression relaxed.
The Grand Clear direct lineage was boundlessly profound. Ingenious Flying Peak did not possess just a single peak martial art.
Other than the Brocade Emperor who might be a little special, even if others were proficient in all peak martial arts, they would most likely focus on some.
The fact that Tao Yu was called the Grand Plainness Origin Lady had already explained the problem.
She and the lineage of her Clear Spring Cave would most likely focus more on the Grand Plainness Immeasurable Body of the Grand Cosmos Five Manifestations.
Of all the cave manors of Ingenious Flying Peak aside from Red Lotus Cliff, her lineage was probably the one who had the deepest understanding of the Grand Plainness Immeasurable Body.
The Grand Plainness Immeasurable Body was a peak defensive technique of Daoism that was comparable to the Five Elements Deific Immortal Body of the Life Creation Heavenly Scripture of the Jade Clear lineage.
Tao Yu's defences were extremely powerful. In the entire World beyond Worlds, there were probably extremely few Immortal Bridge Martial Saints who possessed stronger defences than her.
Also, her attacks would probably still surpass those of most, such as the likes of the Star Plucking Practitioner Guan Lide.
After all, Tao Yu was also proficient in supreme martial arts like the Taiji Yin Yang Palm.
Still, compared to her own defences or those of her lineage who were proficient in martial arts like the Taiji Yin Yang Palm, her attacks were not all that outstanding.
It was just that this way, she would be completely unable to do anything to Yan Zhaoge.
It was true that Tao Yu was arrogant. Before they had clashed, she had indeed not taken Yan Zhaoge seriously at all.
Still, she was an actual expert at the end of the day.
As the saying went, experts would be able to tell with a single move.
With just a single exchange, Tao Yu already had a general estimate of the strength that Yan Zhaoge had displayed.
This was someone whose strength far surpassed martial practitioners of the same cultivation level. Let alone her at the same cultivation level, he even surpassed Fu Ting at the same cultivation level.
… Tao Yu even felt that her senior apprentice-brother, the lofty Brocade Emperor of the World beyond Worlds' Five Emperors, would also be unable to defeat this youth at the same cultivation level!
Tao Yu found this hard to believe. Yet, she had no choice but to believe it.
Whatever her personal opinion of the Southeastern Exalt, Fu Ting and Yan Zhaoge was, she had to admit that this was an unparalleled genius.
If those Nongli Mountain disciples were to run over to her now and say that Yan Zhaoge had only relied on external objects like the Extreme Yang Seal and the like, not possessing any true abilities himself, Tao Yu would first give them a slap, waking up these people who were lying through their teeth.
Even so, a disciple of Nongli Mountain had been slapped right before her eyes. If she did not do anything about it, she would not be Tao Yu.
It was just that Tao Yu still felt rather hesitant at the end of the day.
This was because the great battle between the Brocade Emperor and Mars Halberd was about to begin soon.
While she felt much resentment towards Fu Ting, with the Brocade Emperor at stake, even the usually domineering Tao Yu hesitated.
Now, the expressions of Yan Zhaoge and Tao Yu simultaneously changed slightly.
Outside the Red Lotus Heavenly Vessel, another clump of red light suddenly appeared amidst the endless darkness of space.
Crimson fiery light erupted, the entire surrounding space seemingly shaking for a moment.
Yan Zhaoge and Tao Yu exchanged glances at this moment, looks of understanding appearing on their faces.
Mars Halberd had arrived.
Blazing fire spread amidst the darkness of space.
The Red Lotus Heavenly Vessel that had originally seemed shocking immediately resembled a remnant flower amidst the wind as it shook unceasingly.
A divinity of fire that stood on two dragons appeared amidst space.
Meanwhile, the world formed of the fist-intent of the Earth Exalt had no choice but to retreat at this moment!
"I am already here. Where is Fu Yunchi?"
That majestic voice reverberated through the endless void at this moment. It lingered on endlessly, and everyone could hear it clearly.
Fu Yunchi was precisely the name of Fu Ting's father, the Brocade Emperor.
Still, there were probably no more than ten people in the current World beyond Worlds who dared to call him by his name directly.
Tao Yu glanced at Yan Zhaoge before finally retracting her gaze, exiting the Red Lotus Heavenly Vessel.
Gazing at that giant of flame in the distance, she inhaled deeply, "The time has not come. Do not be hasty."
That giant of flame did not go overboard, "It is fine. I have already waited for so long. There is indeed no need to rush."
With that, he stood upright amidst space.
His face was concealed by flames as no one could see it clearly. Still, everyone present felt as though a gaze was on them.
Yan Zhaoge exited the Red Lotus Heavenly Vessel as well, looking rather interestedly at the distant Mars Halberd.
