Two hundred years ago, Little Sword God. A hundred years ago, Young Master Tian.
This was a common saying of the World beyond Worlds. While it was not as deeply rooted in the hearts of the people as the Three Sovereigns Five Emperors and the Exalts of Ten Territories, it was still widespread.
The 'Little Sword God' in the first half of the sentence naturally referred to Long Xueji who had made a brief appearance in the past.
Of course, he had always been known as Qian Xueji in the World beyond Worlds.
While he had not been active in the World beyond Worlds for long, having only been a Seeing Divinity Martial Saint back then, Long Xueji had truly made a name for himself.
With Long Xueji's unknown origins, it was very difficult for others to judge his cultivation speed.
But at that time, he was not even forty years old. Compared to his cultivation realm at that time, he was so young that it made people's hair stand on end.
The reason why he was so famous, other than being a young Heaven's Favorite, was because of his unparalleled strength.
He roamed the world alone with his sword, beating all martial practitioners of the same cultivation level and of the same age in the World beyond Worlds into submission.
It was rumoured that other than his battle with the Northern Exalt who had suppressed his cultivation back then, Long Xueji had always won within three swords of his when fighting against opponents of the same cultivation level.
It could be said that Long Xueji had established a benchmark that was very hard to surpass for the genius martial practitioners of the World beyond Worlds in recent years.
Ever since he had mysteriously appeared and mysteriously vanished, a figure like him had not appeared in the World beyond Worlds for a very long time.
Until 100 years ago.
Around a hundred years ago, another monstrous figure had finally appeared in the World beyond Worlds.
Young Master Tian, Chen Qianhua.
He was shockingly talented, becoming yet another young Heaven's favoured son whose name shook the entire World beyond Worlds at a young age.
Unlike Long Xueji, the Heavenly Young Master had always been active in the World beyond Worlds, leaving behind many legends.
Afterwards, he had even become the youngest Human Exalt in the history of the World beyond Worlds.
If one were to name the youngest legend of the World beyond Worlds in the past hundred years, it would definitely be him.
What made others raise their eyebrows was the fact that he, who was the youngest, had surpassed many Seniors in such a short period of time, even surpassing the Earth Exalt, Wang Zhengcheng.
Although he had lost his momentum in front of Mars Halberd, Wang Zhengcheng, who had already been a supreme being in the human world thousands of years ago, was not a weakling.
Who was strong or weak depended on who they were compared to.
Mars Halberd was also an Immortal Weapon that had followed the Exalted Fire Luminary to conquer the universe thousands of years ago.
The Brocade Emperor had been famed for a thousand years, yet he had still been unable to stand against Mars Halberd unarmed.
In the Martial Sage realm, Wang Zhengcheng was an absolute expert. However, there would always be someone stronger than him.
The Upper Exalt Chen Qianhua was an even stronger person as he had ascended to a peak that most people would not be able to attain in their entire lives within a short period of time.
The strongest of the ten, the number one Supremacy.
This was everyone's praise for him.
At the same time, practically no one doubted that he would push open the Door of Immortality and ascend to the Realm of True Immortality.
The only question was when he could give himself the title of God.
In fact, in many people's eyes, not to mention the title of Emperor, even the title of Emperor would be his sooner or later.
Still, this Upper Exalt's whereabouts were hard to pin down as he was temperamental and unpredictable.
Even the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors found it difficult to read his mind.
Xia Guang did not know much about this major figure, as he was too distant from him.
But at least he knew one thing.
The peak expert whom he had been closest to in his previous life, the Southeastern Exalt, was also inferior to this Upper Exalt.
"I, am not afraid." Xia Guang pursed his lips, exhaling slowly after a while, "I am just afraid that I will not be able to exact my vengeance. If I can do so, even if I have to die immediately afterwards, I will still be willing."
He suddenly regained his wits, looking at Yan Zhaoge as if wanting to say something yet hesitating.
Yan Zhaoge knew what he was thinking, "That's right. While the Upper Exalt has some ties with Three Foot Mountain, Three Foot Mountain is not his sect at the end of the day. It is Three Foot Mountain that owes him a favour, not the other way around. Therefore, it is not certain that he will stand up for Three Foot Mountain."
"More importantly, those of Three Foot Mountain all died at my hands. More than half of their entire sect could be said to have been crippled by me."
As he said this, Yan Zhaoge smiled, "If the Upper Exalt really wants to settle scores with someone, he will first look for me."
Xia Guang said resolutely, "I will definitely not leak the news."
He had never considered whether Yan Zhaoge would kill him to silence him.
The reason he was so resolute was that Yan Zhaoge had slain a great many experts of Three Foot Mountain, being the benefactor of his Xia Family.
His hands behind his back, Yan Zhaoge appraised Xia Guang for a moment before smiling, "What if someone says that they can help you take care of your remaining enemies as long as they sell me out?"
Xia Guang was taken aback for a moment before he shook his head, "I will not leak the news even then."
"As you said earlier, Young Master Yan, more than half of Three Foot Mountain was crippled by you. If I manage to get my revenge, it will also be mostly because of you."
Yan Zhaoge smiled, shaking his head, "You and I can be considered to be fated. Seeing that your injuries are rather severe, I have some pills here that can help you recover. If your injuries are left untreated for too long, they will accumulate and become hard to heal as they will harm your foundation and vitality."
With that, a small porcelain bottle hovered before Xia Guang.
Xia Guang dazedly received it and opened it. A medicinal fragrance instantly emanated from it, not being intense but rather distant.
Just breathing in that fragrance alone made Xia Guang feel much more comfortable.
He was shocked. Even the Clear Radiance Pill of Bright Origin Pavilion that he had been unable to obtain just now was probably not as effective as this.
"Thank … thank you," Xia Guang said slowly.
The favour that he owed Yan Zhaoge was growing greater and greater to the point that he did not know how to repay it.
Thinking about it, there seemed to be nothing that Yan Zhaoge could use him for.
After all, Yan Zhaoge's cultivation base and strength were both much higher than his.
While it was rather hard to accept, Xia Guang vaguely felt that even his steed seemed to be more powerful than his …
Yan Zhaoge asked nonchalantly, "What do you intend to do now?"
"Intend?" Xia Guang recalled the three steps of his earlier plan, "I want to first think of a way to return to the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory."
Now that he had medicine to treat his injuries, the first step of his plan having succeeded, there was no need for him to worry about it.
Next, he had to think of a way to find his remaining kin and seek revenge on Three Foot Mountain.
Still, how exactly should he do this?
Where could he go to find his brothers and sisters?
How could he raise his strength as quickly as possible, surpassing his enemies?
Xia Guang was rather at a loss regarding all of this.
This was especially so when a major figure like the Upper Exalt might be standing behind Three Foot Mountain. His chances of getting revenge were even slimmer.
His enemies would not just stand there and wait for him to surpass them and take revenge.
Even as he sought to improve, his enemies would improve as well.
When would he be able to get his revenge then?
Looking at Yan Zhaoge, Xia Guang's heart suddenly jolted as he blurted out, "Young Master Yan, can I …"
Halfway through his words, he got stuck again.
He had been thinking about whether he could enter Broad Creed Mountain's lineage.
Beneath the heavens, the power that Xia Guang currently had the most favourable impression of was Broad Creed Mountain where Yan Zhaoge hailed from.
Still, thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was rather abrupt.
Yan Zhaoge had killed so many people of Three Foot Mountain. It seemed like they had a common enemy.
Still, if news of this had not been leaked, Yan Zhaoge might not have been targeted by Three Foot Mountain and the Upper Exalt.
If he really managed to destroy Three Foot Mountain in revenge in the future, the Upper Exalt might vent his anger on Broad Creed Mountain.
If that happened, would Broad Creed Mountain still take him in?
