Ah Hu took the talisman paper and asked, “Young Master, can I send it directly?
Is there anything I should pass on to Senior Gao? “
“You only need to say that this is to find the other three treasured swords. As for the rest of the matter, Senior Gao will naturally understand the reason behind it after obtaining the talisman.” Yan Zhaoge answered.
Ah Hu nodded. “I understand. Don’t worry, Young Master.”
After a short pause, Ah Hu said, “Young Master, the Red Lotus Cliff’s Miss Fu, Mr. He, and Miss Meng that you asked me to keep an eye on have not made any moves.”
Hearing his words, Yan Zhaoge did not immediately reply, instead concentrating on pondering carefully.
Fu Ting, Meng Wan, and He Xixing knew about the existence of the Immeasurable Heavenly Venerate even before they became Human Immortals.
As a result, an invisible ‘seed’ was planted in the depths of their souls.
Although nothing had happened all these years, no one could be sure when the “seed” would sprout.
Once the “seed” sprouted, these three young elites of Daoism’s direct lineage might be illuminated by the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord even if they were in the Awakened Sky Cosmos or the Pill Hall.
If they were caught off guard, it could cause a huge mess.
In the worst case scenario, the Pill Hall and the Awakened Sky Cosmos’ location might be exposed to the Immortal Court.
Therefore, Yan Zhaoge and the others had always been pondering on how to suppress that formless’ seed ‘, preventing it from germinating and preventing the worst case scenario from happening.
Even though Yan Zhaoge was fighting against the Nine Underworlds, he didn’t forget to make arrangements before leaving the Awakened Sky Cosmos. He kept an eye on Fu Ting and the others to prevent the Immortal Court from taking advantage of the situation.
Now, he had wreaked havoc on the land of the Immortal Court, causing great damage to the Immortal Court. In the end, it was only because of Mahamayuri that they managed to salvage the situation.
If the Immortal Court wanted to make a move on the orthodox Daoism to regain their face, the World beyond Worlds was just a lower choice. If they couldn’t find the Sky beyond Skies, they would only vent their anger on them.
If he could directly find the Sky beyond Skies, he would definitely settle the score with Yan Zhaoge.
At this time, Yan Zhaoge was naturally even more vigilant.
However, the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord seemed to have forgotten that there were still a few potential targets for him to purify.
“Are they certain that it will have no effect?” Yan Zhaoge muttered to himself, “Even our side doesn’t have the confidence of being able to intercept it …”
After pondering for a moment, Yan Zhaoge shook his head and looked at Ah Hu, “We’ve already returned to the Sky beyond Skies. If there’s any problem, I’ll personally take care of it. Leave everything here and head to the Roving Jade Heavens.”
“When you arrive at the Roving Jade Heavens, make a trip to the Ashen Spirit Valley. When you see Daoist Cloud Conquest, apologize to him on my behalf. He wouldn’t be able to handle He Mian’s matter personally,” said Yan Zhaoge.
“Yes, Young Master,” Ah Hu answered.
Yan Zhaoge continued, “Senior apprentice-sister Yu’s matter cannot be rushed for the time being. After I have recovered to my peak, I will personally head to the Roving Jade Heavens again to continue studying it together with Senior Gao and senior apprentice-granduncle Long.”
“I will pass on the message to Senior Gao and the others. If Young Master has no other orders, I will set off right away.”
“Go,” Yan Zhaoge nodded.
Ah Hu took his leave, while Yan Zhaoge closed his eyes and calmed his mind to recuperate.
A day later, Ah Hu returned from the Roving Jade Heavens, “Young Master, Senior Gao stuck the talisman on the Immortal Slaughtering Sword right in front of me. He said that he would stick it on for forty-nine days.”
“Alright.”
Yan Zhaoge opened his eyes and nodded, “Whether or not there are any gains, we will know after forty-nine days. I hope that we won’t be disappointed.”
Then, he stood up and left for the Pill Hall’s Purple Divine Pavilion. There, he saw his mother, Xue Chuqing, “Is there any news from the Dao universe?”
“Not yet.”
Xue Chuqing sighed and shook her head, “After all, it’s quite a distance away. In order to prevent the Awakened Sky Cosmos and the Pill Hall’s location from being exposed, we have to be cautious when gathering information.”
Being cautious would result in a lack of efficiency. This was something that couldn’t be helped.
Most of the Immortal Realm experts that were active within the Awakened Sky Cosmos were recuperating after the previous battle. It wasn’t beneficial for the transmission of information.
Yan Zhaoge could only relax his mind and wait patiently.
After a few days, there was finally confirmed news.
The Dao universe was successfully invaded by the Immortal Court.
The situation regarding the World beyond Worlds and the people of the lower realms was still uncertain.
However, it was worth noting that there seemed to be ordinary citizens who had left the Dao universe and migrated towards the Immortal Court.
The World beyond Worlds, where the orthodox Daoism’s Jade Clear and Grand Clear lineages flourished, had become history.
The Exalted Earth Luminary – Jiang Shen, the Encompassing Emperor, the Heaven Emperor, the new Exalt – Li Junxin, the Northwestern Exalt – Lian Zulin, the Western Exalt – Lang Qing, and the others had all disappeared.
The news from the Immortal Court stated that they had subdued the “heretics.”
As a result, the negative effects caused by Yan Zhaoge’s wanton destruction were quickly disappearing.
The Immortal Court’s large-scale counterattack was reclaiming their lost lands. They were starting to reclaim the eight hundred Immortal Territories and myriad worlds that had been occupied by the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus for more than twenty years.
The entire Immortal Court could finally hold their heads high.
“Ironically, the Immortal Court didn’t know that they didn’t rely on their own abilities to reclaim their lands. Instead, they relied on the Western Pure Lands’ assistance,” said Yan Zhaoge with a playful smile.
However, despite the Immortal Court’s counterattack, they only managed to reclaim their lost lands.
It wasn’t that easy for them to turn around and attack the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus.
While Mahamayuri was strong, he wasn’t a Dao Realm expert.
While he possessed the omnipresent miraculous abilities of a Grand Heavenly Realm expert, it depended on who he was compared to.
Compared to the Roc of Ten Thousand Cloudy Miles, his area of coverage was definitely inferior.
If they were to attack the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus, Kong Xuan wouldn’t be able to intimidate existences like the Roc of Ten Thousand Cloudy Miles.
Moreover, Kong Xuan was only helping out because of the deal with the Dipankara Ancient Buddha. He wouldn’t help the Immortal Court to their deaths.
Helping the Immortal Court through this tribulation had already achieved their goal.
As a result, the Western Pure Lands and the Immortal Court stopped while they were ahead. After reclaiming the Immortal Court’s Three Thousand Immortal Territories, their counterattack immediately slowed down.
The Immortal Court was currently busy consolidating and rebuilding the faith that had suffered multiple setbacks.
Repelling the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus, reclaiming their lost lands, and taking down the Dao universe to take revenge. With these two methods working together, their efforts were fruitful.
“If the World beyond Worlds is like this, what about the North Star Emperor’s side?” asked Yan Zhaoge after pondering.
Xue Chuqing said, “Other than the heretics that descended upon our Dao universe, there were also Buddhism bigwigs patrolling outside. Evidently, they came specifically for the North Star Emperor.”
When Mahamayuri made his move, he alone held the fort against ten thousand enemies. This allowed the Western Pure Lands’ Buddhism bigwigs to move freely.
“Whether the North Star Emperor clashed with those Buddhas is still unknown. However, judging from the Dao universe’s outcome, the Immortal Court still succeeded in the end.”
