Since a long time ago, Yan Zhaoge had been thinking about this problem.
The best solution was naturally to increase his own strength.
If he was strong enough, he could go anywhere in the world.
However, many things couldn’t be accomplished in a single day.
For example, Feng Yunsheng, Xu Fei, Pan-Pan, and even Yan Zhaoge’s North Ocean Clone might seem to have ascended to the heavens with a single step, but there was still a limit to it.
Moreover, there were still hidden dangers.
Most of the time, one couldn’t be too impatient. Some basic accumulations of time were still required.
However, his opponents might not be so lenient as to give him sufficient time.
Yan Zhaoge himself knew that he had struck the middle of the river when he had not succeeded in crossing it, and his enemies would similarly understand this principle.
This was how the saying ‘time waits for no man’ came about.
What happened before was actually an example.
Yan Zhaoge had caught the Immortal Court and the Western Pure Lands off guard.
They didn’t expect him to have three Virtual Immortal Peak Golden Bodies of the Great Sage. They also didn’t expect the three Golden Bodies of the Great Sage to fuse into one, manifesting the true Great Sage Equalling Heavens’ Demon Physique.
In the end, even the Victorious Fighting Buddha and the Buddha of Sandalwood Merit were defeated. The famed heretic Heavenly Immortal – Great King of Inspiration was killed on the spot, and half of the Immortal Court’s Heavenly Palace was destroyed.
While only a Heavenly Immortal and a dozen Virtual Immortals perished, Yan Zhaoge’s actions had shaken the Immortal Court’s foundation.
If he didn’t handle it well, the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus might cause the Immortal Court’s army to crumble.
Yan Zhaoge’s actions had an impact comparable to when Suo Mingzhang killed the Immortal Court’s four Heavenly Lords.
With two consecutive heavy blows, the Immortal Court’s injuries worsened.
The balance between the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus and the Immortal Court had lost its balance.
Facing such a situation, the Western Pure Lands, who supported the Immortal Court, retaliated.
Mahamayuri reappeared and became the Immortal Court’s pillar of support. He captured the Grand Heavenly Realm experts and deterred the Demon Race from acting recklessly.
Previously, Yan Zhaoge stood out and wreaked havoc in the Immortal Court, single-handedly changing the direction of the situation.
Now, Kong Xuan had single-handedly reversed the situation of the Immortal Court that was about to collapse.
With his support, the other Buddhist Bhantes of the Western Pure Lands could assist the Immortal Court in repelling the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus and the Demon Race.
Yan Zhaoge believed that not only would the Immortal Court not suffer any losses this time, they might even launch a counterattack.
With the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord and the Maitreya Buddha restraining each other, if the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus couldn’t find an effective method to resist Kong Xuan’s Five-colored Divine Light, the Immortal Court might even be able to reclaim the eight hundred Immortal Territories and myriad worlds that they had lost.
As for whether or not they would be able to gain more, it would depend on how much they spent to buy Kong Xuan’s subordinates.
Kong Xuan’s retreat meant that the Immortal Court’s advantage was no longer there.
After all, after Suo Mingzhang and Yan Zhaoge slaughtered two waves of people, the Immortal Court’s vitality was greatly damaged. Ultimately, it wasn’t as strong as the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus.
If the Demon Race and the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus had a way to deal with Kong Xuan, it would be an entirely different story.
But at the moment, Mahamayuri had such deterrence and influence. He seemed to have the attitude that no one in the Tao Realm could compete with him.
“Speaking of which, the Demon Race did have someone that could compete with Kong Xuan.” Yan Zhaoge stroked his chin, “What a pity …”
Rather than feeling pity for the Demon Race, Yan Zhaoge felt pity for himself.
The fusion of the three Golden Bodies of the Great Sage and manifesting the Great Sage Equalling Heavens’ true form consumed a lot of energy. Moreover, the duration of maintaining it was too short.
It was unknown if they could deal with Mahamayuri within such a short period of time.
Moreover, it was pointless to think about it now. After causing havoc in the Immortal Court, Yan Zhaoge and the others needed to rest.
After making a move, the enemy would retaliate, and they wouldn’t be able to make a second move.
Yan Zhaoge felt disgusted by such a feeling.
Although he had countless ways to console himself by telling himself that he had done his best against a group of ancient Demons and that he was a Grand Heavenly Realm bigwig, such consolation was useless against Yan Zhaoge.
Since he had already reached this level, similar situations would only increase in the future.
The key was how to solve the problem.
As such, Yan Zhaoge’s current priority was to accumulate more strength for himself.
The assistance provided by the Heavenly Court’s Divine Palace’s Martial Repository was diminishing. As such, other than his own cultivation, he had to find ways to uncover new trump cards in other areas.
Just like how he had risked his life to help the Great Sage Equalling Heavens escape from the Five Elements Mountain, which allowed him to obtain the Golden Body of the Great Sage.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to slaughter his way to the Immortal Court and forcefully kill He Mian despite facing three Grand Heavenly Realm experts, seeking justice for Nie Jingshen and Yu Ye.
Without the three Golden Bodies of the Great Sage as his foundation, even if he was filled with courage, he wouldn’t be able to do so. Even if he went to the Immortal Court, he would only be humiliating himself.
Of course, the more trump cards he had, the better.
However, it wouldn’t be easy.
In fact, from Yan Zhaoge’s point of view, the knowledge stored within the Heavenly Court’s Divine Palace’s Martial Repository wasn’t completely outdated or useless.
It was still one of his greatest weapons, but it was merely a foundation.
Other than a few existences, everything in the world would always continue to evolve. The present was superior to the past because it could continuously innovate.
Throughout his journey, the reason why Yan Zhaoge was able to suppress many people with the Heavenly Court’s Divine Palace’s Martial Repository was because the opponents he encountered in the early stages were more or less affected by the Great Calamity’s cultural discontinuity.
In other words, to Yan Zhaoge, those enemies who were in the stage where the martial civilisation was starting over after the Great Calamity were the more primitive, backward, and undeveloped ‘ancients’ who possessed the extremely flourishing martial civilisation of before the Great Calamity.
However, Yan Zhaoge never thought that he had nothing to worry about.
To him, the Great Calamity had left a deep impression on him, causing him to feel a deep sense of danger.
Now that he was getting closer to the truth, his sense of danger naturally grew stronger.
As such, from a long time ago, Yan Zhaoge had been thinking about using the Heavenly Court’s Divine Palace’s Martial Repository as a foundation to deduce some new developments.
Reality had proven that he was quite talented in this aspect, and his rewards were bountiful.
The Chaotic Heavenly Devil Slaying Ritual that caused the Primordial Heart Devil to suffer was one of his rewards.
Now, it was time for him to test out another reward.
Yan Zhaoge stood up. First, he laid down a complicated formation in the room. Then, he placed a talisman within the formation.
He walked along the edge of the formation and circled around the talisman. His speed was as fast as lightning.
This continued for a full seventy-eight hours before Yan Zhaoge finally came to a halt.
He looked a little tired, but a satisfied expression appeared on his face.
Countless profound runes appeared on the talisman in the middle of the formation.
“Ah Hu.” Yan Zhaoge called out.
A burly man’s figure quickly appeared in front of him, “What orders do you have, Young Master?”
Yan Zhaoge took the talisman and passed it to Ah Hu, “Send this talisman to the Roving Jade Heavens. After meeting Senior Gao, ask her to stick it on the Immortal Slaughtering Sword for forty-nine days.”
