(PS: This is the second watch yesterday. My apologies to everyone. I stayed up until midnight last night and couldn't finish it. I slept until this afternoon.)
Central Jun Heaven Territory, the peak of a certain mountain in the Kunlun Mountains.
A black-robed youth sat cross-legged on a boulder at the top of the cliff.
Behind him, a middle-aged man appeared.
"Yan Zhaoge slew the Heaven Emperor's head disciple Qing Shuzi and seventh disciple Daoist Leading Mist," The middle-aged man said in a heavy tone, "After the Heaven Emperor learns of this, he will definitely not let the matter rest."
"He's still in the outer realms and can't return. But once he does, he'll definitely go to the southeast."
The black-clothed youth stood up from the boulder, turned around and asked, "What does Senior Brother want to do?"
The middle-aged man pondered for a moment before replying, "I want to go southeast."
"However, now is not the time. There has to be a suitable time, or else it would be too rude."
The black-robed youth didn't say anything and waited for the rest of the sentence.
"I haven't personally come into contact with him or fought him, so I can't be sure." The middle-aged man continued, "Master, there's something that doesn't make sense … I'm not questioning Master's decision, but the identity of the other party has to be confirmed."
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he raised his head to look at the horizon. "I've already sent another message to Master, but I don't know when I'll get a reply."
The black-robed youth's eyes flashed, and he looked up into the sky as well. "The reply has already arrived."
"So fast this time?" The middle-aged man was slightly shocked as he stared at the sky.
A moment later, the void suddenly split open, and a ray of light descended from the sky, landing on the peak of the mountain!
Seeing this, the two at the top of the mountain fell silent.
"As you wish, Master." The black-clothed young man raised his hand to retract the light and didn't say anything else.
The middle-aged man laughed bitterly after a long while. "Master, you haven't even seen him. How can you be so sure that he's the person you're looking for? The age difference is too big … "
The black-clothed youth said, "Since Master has already given instructions, he must have his reasons."
"If that's the case, then we should prepare early," the middle-aged man said slowly.
…
In the Northern Profound Heaven Territory, on a frozen land...
The entrance to a domain passageway stood there.
However, unlike ordinary domain passageways, this door that led to another world, from the outside looking in, was pitch black, like a black hole.
Within it, there were faint flashes of lightning.
At this moment, there was a woman standing outside the entrance of the domain passageway.
The woman was dressed in white and wielded a black saber. Her black hair was tied behind her head with a simple piece of cloth.
It was none other than Feng Yunsheng who was outside alone.
In order to keep a low profile, she removed the black-bordered blue robes worn by Broad Creed Mountain's core, true disciples, leaving only the white robes worn by Broad Creed Mountain's disciples.
Feng Yunsheng turned her head to look towards the south and chuckled softly. "With your personality of showing off your divinity in front of your lover, you must be acting sanctimonious on the surface, but who knows how pleased you are in your heart?"
This time, Yan 'Yan Yan World.
News of this spread even in the bitter cold lands of the Extreme North on the other side of the World beyond Worlds.
"Bright moon above the sea, even the ends of the earth share this moment …" Thinking of what Yan Zhaoge had once said, Feng Yunsheng muttered to herself.
"After a moment, she smiled.. Chen. After a, Saint, I world, Mountain, she, I, I, has.
I She Cloud., Mountain, World. Mountain, Yun, and.., Feng, Peak, the Cloud, the Guan, I Sect Sect Sect. Mountain.
Dao. Dao Sect, Sect Sect, I. Yan Feng Sect Sect Sect Sect, I Sect, Sect, "Feng,"
She wrote some words in mid-air, inscribing them on the spirit orb. The spirit orb transformed into a streak of light, being swallowed into the belly of the hawk.
Next, she raised her hand, the hawk taking to the air, flying off towards the distant south.
Watching the hawk leave, Feng Yunsheng's gaze turned resolute as she turned and entered that pitch black dimensional passageway.
Accompanied by her entry, not long after, the dimensional passageway gradually vanished.
There was only the howling of cold wind on the icy plains of the frozen earth as no one could be seen.
… …
Southeastern Yang Heaven Territory, Royal Reed Sea.
After many days, Yan Zhaoge finally returned to Broad Crescent Mountain.
Looking at Broad Crescent Mountain before him, Yan Zhaoge chuckled, "It feels good to be home."
Ah Hu gave a simple and honest laugh, "Young Master, your name has shaken the four seas this time. I think it must feel even better."
Yan Zhaoge coughed dryly, "Really, it was a daunting experience without any mishaps this time."
"In the battle of Circumference Mountain, Zhang Shuren and Peng He aside, that Qing Shuzi really cannot be underestimated. I did not know beforehand that he had actually mastered the Heaven Earth Within Sleeve."
"If not for the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation weakening his cultivation base, if he had taken me by surprise, I might have faced the risk of being overturned."
He swivelled his head to look at Ah Hu, Xia Guang and Pan-Pan, saying in a meaningful and heartfelt tone, "When you clash with others in the future, you have to be careful at all times. Your opponent might have some unexpected, hidden killing moves."
"Having been ambushed by someone, no matter how many methods and ultimate moves you have, you will still not be able to execute them in time as you will only be able to die regretfully."
Xia Guang immediately straightened his expression, nodding solemnly, "Yes."
Pan-Pan blinked his eyes and yawned.
Ah Hu gave a simple and honest laugh as he sent via sound transmission, "In the end, he was still defeated by you, Young Master."
"Of course," Yan Zhaoge's expression did not change even in front of Xia Guang as he replied via sound transmission without any trace of politeness at all.
They conversed and laughed as they descended towards Broad Crescent Mountain.
Yan Zhaoge's heart suddenly jolted. Gazing over, he saw a handsome man who looked to be in his thirties or forties with greying hair standing on the peak of the Heaven Rising Peak, currently smiling at him.
It was none other than his father, Yan Di.
"You've emerged from seclusion?" Gazing over carefully, Yan Zhaoge could vaguely feel that the many acupoints within Yan Di's body that had already been refined to see Divinity were shaking slightly at this moment.
Yan Di had not concealed anything from him. Therefore, Yan Zhaoge could feel that it was like the stars of the universe had formed a system of their own as they circulated with a unique rhythm.
This was precisely the mark of a Martial Saint who had ascended the Immortal Bridge!
Yan Di who had been in secluded cultivation ever since leaving the Minor No Hatred dao arena and returning to the World beyond Worlds had successfully broken through his bottleneck this time, advancing from the late Seeing Divinity stage to the early Immortal Bridge stage!
This entailed that Yan Di had attained the seventh level of the Martial Saint realm.
Broad Creed Mountain finally had an Immortal Bridge Martial Saint …
Thinking of this, Yan Zhaoge could not help but not know whether to laugh or to cry.
The two of them and Broad Creed Mountain could also be considered to be famed in the World beyond Worlds now. Yet, only one of them had ascended the Immortal Bridge today.
"I just feel that this is a little mocking …" Yan Zhaoge cast aside the random thoughts in his mind, still feeling extremely happy.
Yan Zhaoge was happy for his father having ascended the Immortal Bridge as well, feeling no less joyous than his own improvement.
As he congratulated Yan Di, Yan Di shook his head, smiling, "You caused a great disturbance in the south this time."
Broad Creed Mountain had just received the news as well.
"There was more than a single late Immortal Bridge Martial Saint in pursuit," Yan Zhaoge chuckled, "If I didn't cause a great disturbance, I wouldn't have been able to return."
Father and son returned to the great hall where the other higher echelon members of Broad Creed Mountain were waiting for them.
Yan Zhaoge's personal narration was naturally much more detailed than the rumours as everyone sighed in admiration upon hearing it.
Afterwards, when they returned to their lodgings, only father and son remained.
Yan Zhaoge smiled, asking, "Father, did you encounter anything after leaving the Minor No Hatred dao arena that year?"
