The Three-footed Golden Crow appeared, sunlight flickering.
His gaze involuntarily fell on the Extreme Yang Seal above Yan Zhaoge's head.
Under the vast heavens with innumerable people, there would often be more than one lineage researching similar or even identical martial arts principles.
Under such circumstances, there would often be no sense of unity.
On the contrary, unless there was a clear difference in strength between the various powers, most of the time, no one would be willing to submit to the other, believing that they were the orthodox while others were evil. Therefore, their relationships were usually not harmonious.
As one of the Nine Luminaries and the most commonly seen and most dazzling sun in the sky, there would naturally be many who researched into it.
In pre-Great Calamity times, Vast Yang Palace, Golden Crow Valley and even the Dim Radiant Sect had all researched into this.
In comparison, the Dim Radiant Sect simultaneously researched into the profundities of the sun and moon, primarily deriving the intricacies of their radiance.
Rather than saying that they were analysing the Sun Star, it was more like analysing the true meaning of light.
Golden Crow Valley's Golden Crow Incinerating World Scripture was more inclined towards the eternal blazing of the Sun Star, terrifying to the extreme as it incinerated the heavens and extinguished the earth.
Besides analysing the yang qi of the Sun Star, its martial legacy also contained the refined qi of fire.
Comparatively speaking, Vast Yang Palace was the most orthodox as it focused on analysing the variations of the great sun.
Afterwards, the Extreme Yang Scripture that was derived from the Vast Yang Scripture was even more profound and focused.
In pre-Great Calamity times, Golden Crow Valley and Vast Yang Palace had been on bad terms as neither side had been willing to submit to the other.
Still, while the current Three Foot Mountain had obtained the legacy of Golden Crow Valley, they rather yearned for the Extreme Yang Scripture.
This was because that major figure who had helped them complete the Golden Crow Incinerating World Scripture had once casually mentioned something.
"The Vast Yang Scripture aside, the Extreme Yang Scripture and Extreme Yang Creation Scripture of the Exalted Solar Luminary are rare treasures to you."
Seeing the Extreme Yang Seal above Yan Zhaoge's head now, the gazes of those of Three Foot Mountain instantly flickered.
"Chief, according to the Young Master's guidance that year, there are three tribulations in the defensive restrictions of this cave manor. These golden lotuses of fire before us now are the third tribulation." Someone sent a sound transmission to that leading old man, "There will be no more tribulations after this. After passing, we will truly have entered the core of this Daoist temple."
The leading old man was the current Chief of Three Foot Mountain. He had a goatee and had a faint golden complexion.
He looked expressionlessly at the distant Yan Zhaoge, not speaking.
The person beside him continued, "This person is that Broad Creed Mountain's Yan Zhaoge. It is said that he is a heaven-defying genius, possessing extremely great strength. From the looks of it now, it is indeed so."
"What's even worse is that he has the Extreme Yang Seal with him. Even though the sword in his hand is inferior to the Extreme Yang Seal, it is still an extremely powerful high-grade Sacred Artifact …"
At this point, the elder said faintly, "That sword is probably stronger than our sect's Golden Crow Sky Incinerating Blade."
The Three Foot Mountain martial practitioners present all frowned.
The person who had spoken earlier nodded, continuing, "While we have brought the soul flags over this time, we have expended a great deal of energy in the Wilderness Sea earlier. It is not that I want to boost the morale of others and diminish our own, but we might not be able to compete against that Yan Zhaoge."
When these words were spoken, the people of Three Foot Mountain all felt uncomfortable.
However, seeing Yan Zhaoge proceed unimpeded all along, breaking through the restrictions of this place with a powerful treasure in hand as he rampaged unbridled and unbridled, their rationality told them that this youth before them had sufficiently exemplified a single phrase.
Terrifying!
"Then what do you suggest we do? Are we supposed to turn back just like this? "Someone said unhappily.
Still, this person's expression quickly changed, "Wait, could it be that you want to …"
The Three Foot Mountain martial practitioner who had spoken first said softly, "It is rumoured that this Yan Zhaoge is very close to Ingenious Flying Peak's Red Lotus Fu. Second Young Master is rather dissatisfied with this."
"To us, this is a chance to resolve Second Young Master's worries. The treasures in this cave manor, the Extreme Yang Seal and possibly even the Extreme Yang Scripture, killing four birds with one stone!"
The Three Foot Mountain martial practitioners all fell silent for a moment.
Someone said slowly, "Irreconcilable enmity ah."
They were not afraid of forming enmity with others. Also, they were not soft-hearted people. For example, that Listening Thunder Peak's Xia Family had been directly exterminated just like that.
It was the strength that Yan Zhaoge had displayed thus far that caused them to hesitate somewhat.
Failing to defeat the tiger, they might instead be injured by the tiger.
"It is fine." The goateed old man who had not spoken for a long time earlier, the current Chief of Three Foot Mountain, said, "The backup methods that we prepared earlier can be put to use when the time comes."
A long sabre appeared in his hand, the brilliance of the sun visible on its blade as a three-legged golden crow could vaguely be seen.
A bright yellow command flag appeared in the other hand of the Three Foot Mountain's Sect Master.
A Three Foot Mountain martial practitioner beside him received the flag, waving it as a clear crow's cry instantly resounded.
That sound was not as dry and piercing as that of ordinary crows as it instead seemed rather profound and pleasant to the ear.
As the crow's cry resounded, it was like the great sun had just risen, brimming with vitality.
Blazing flames of sunlight surged, actually seeming not inferior to the Extreme Yang Seal in this short period of time.
Yan Zhaoge detected this as soon as it appeared.
Gazing over, he saw the silhouette of a golden crow appear as that Three Foot Mountain martial practitioner waved his flag.
Its two pupils that resembled the great sun stared fixedly at Yan Zhaoge, its gaze piercing to the point that one was unable to look directly at it.
"So it is a soul flag that has the remnant soul of a golden crow sealed within!" Yan Zhaoge instantly understood, "This golden crow must have been extremely powerful when it was alive. It is no wonder that it could protect them through the obstruction of the Baleful Black Devil all the way into the Wilderness Sea."
Still, as long as the remnant soul of the golden crow was wielded with this technique, its spirituality would be damaged irreversibly and hard to recover from as it would be depleted unceasingly.
After many times, as time passed, that final bit of spirituality would dissipate completely, its soul dispersing for good.
This was a supreme treasure of Three Foot Mountain that was exceptionally treasured by all of them as they would not use it lightly.
Three Foot Mountain could be said to have invested heavily in this cave manor of their Daoist temple this time.
As the soul flag unfurled, the remnant soul of the golden crow flew out, shooting fiercely towards Yan Zhaoge.
Meanwhile, the Chief of Three Foot Mountain roared now, gripping that sabre with both hands before flying up, chopping down towards Yan Zhaoge's head.
The sabre-light merged with the remnant soul of the golden crow, golden flames blazing fiercely as they enveloped the surrounding area.
The former Chief of the Radiant Light Sect Luo Zhiyuan who wielded the high-grade Sacred Artifact, the Sun Moon Wheels, was like a grain of rice in comparison to the bright sun in the sky before this golden crow.
Even experts of the ninth level of the Martial Saint realm would have to temporarily avoid this strike.
Yan Zhaoge could even feel some of the might of the Vast Yang Exalt Pei Hua from within.
"Attacking just like that, rather straightforward," Yan Zhaoge was trapped amidst the sea of flames of the golden lotus, also facing the golden crow in mid-air.
While he was being attacked from both front and back, Yan Zhaoge showed no fear at all.
The Extreme Yang Seal descended, landing within Yan Zhaoge's palm.
At the same time, the Evil Sword Taotie pointed diagonally, drawing a circle in mid-air.
The sword-light circulated, transforming into a circle that flickered with black light.
White light vaguely surged amidst the black light.
