“My Golden Court Mountain’s geographical name is the same as the Jade Clear Lord of the Daoist Way’s dao arena. It was a coincidence. However, after the World beyond Worlds was established, the locals of the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory gradually increased their population. Thus, this mountain was named by the locals,” answered Cao Jie.
“Still, perhaps due to fate, after our lineage had been founded, our senior Founder had found some remnants of the Lord of Daoist Attainment’s cave manor, Golden Court Mountain’s Jade House Cave, when he was roaming the endless void outside.”
Yan Zhaoge quietly listened to Cao Jie’s words.
He had already heard about it from others. However, he still listened to Cao Jie’s explanation.
“Unfortunately, the remnants were only a corner of the cave manor. Moreover, it was in ruins, and nothing was left behind.” Cao Jie shook his head.
Yan Zhaoge pondered and asked, “If that’s the case, only a corner of the cave manor was left.”
“That’s right.”
Cao Jie sighed, “The senior grand master was grateful for the fact that they shared the same name. Since we’re all of the Three Clear lineage, he brought the remnant fragments back to the World beyond Worlds and merged it with my Golden Court Mountain. Now, it’s a part of my Golden Court Mountain.”
This was also the reason why the World beyond Worlds’ Golden Court Mountain had never changed its name.
Yan Zhaoge pondered for a while and said, “Can I go to the original location of the remnant later?
I hope Senior Cao won’t blame me for being rude. “
“Of course, you can,” answered Cao Jie.
Yan Zhaoge nodded. Then, he looked at everyone and said, “The Immortal Exterminating Four Swords are undoubtedly crucial to our grand plan of reviving Daoism. If any of you have any clues, please provide them to me.”
Everyone nodded.
Gao Xuebo said, “Although we have two swords, it’s best to leave one behind if we’re going to search for it again.”
The might of the Immortal Exterminating Formation wasn’t only something Yan Zhaoge and the orthodox Daoism desired.
If the other major forces had the chance to obtain it, they wouldn’t hesitate to do so as well.
Nie Jingshen entering the Nine Underworlds might bring about a calamity.
The Immortal Exterminating Formation’s diagram might fall into the hands of the Nine Underworlds.
Although Nie Jingshen participated in the establishment of the Immortal Exterminating Formation and didn’t obtain all of it, Zhang Buxu had perished in the Nine Underworlds.
The Nine Underworlds might not possess the complete Immortal Exterminating Formation’s diagram. However, the world was unpredictable. If something were to happen, the Immortal Exterminating Formation would be preserved within the Awakened Sky Cosmos, at least, the Immortal Exterminating Formation wouldn’t be restored.
Yan Zhaoge nodded silently.
Wang Pu said softly, “Every forty-nine years, do you want to delay it a little?
Otherwise, outsiders might be able to figure out the time pattern. “
“There’s no need.”
Bai Tao shook his head and said, “First of all, time waits for no man. Our two enemies are currently locked in a fierce battle and can’t spare too much energy on our side. It’s convenient for us to act now. If we delay for a few more years, who knows when our enemies will call a truce again?”
This matter was related to the Immortal Court, and Wang Pu’s current cultivation was still a step away from the Exalt Stage. Therefore, Bai Tao didn’t want to reveal everything. His words were rather vague. However, it was enough for Wang Pu, who was helping Yue Zhenbei manage the matters of the Jade Capital Crag on a daily basis, to understand what he meant.
“Almost fifty years …” Wang Pu nodded lightly.
The great war between the Immortal Court and the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus had been going on for many years.
The peak of the war could be as short as a few years or as long as a few decades, and as long as a few decades. Whether or not the war would ease would depend on the specific situation.
Counting from the time when Yan Zhaoge had separated from the World beyond Worlds, they had already fought for twenty years.
After that, due to Mahamayuri’s unexpected intervention, the two sides were already close to a truce.
However, due to the Taiyi Nirvana Heavenly Lord and the Humanly Essence Stone’s information, the flames of war burned even more intensely until now.
“Secondly, after we obtained the Immortal Trapping Sword, our enemies didn’t pay any more attention to us. This meant that they had already predicted that our art wouldn’t be usable for a short period of time, and that it would require a longer period of time before we could use it again.”
Bai Tao sighed and said, “How can a Dao Ancestor’s capability be underestimated?
With the first time, it can already be calculated that it wouldn’t be usable for a short period of time. Even if we can’t calculate the exact time of the second time, as long as the second time succeeds, the actual time interval would no longer be a secret. “
He and Wang Pu were of the same sect. Naturally, Wang Pu wouldn’t mind his subtle reminder, “Yes. Although it’s a brand new art, it still originated from the heavens and earth’s great dao.”
“If we could really find the third sword and wait for the final sword, even if our enemies are currently fighting, they might call a truce and wait for us,” said Yan Zhaoge with a smile.
“Unfortunately …” He leaned against the back of his chair and patted his head, “The Eastern Extremity Viridescent Splendour Emperor still perished.”
Everyone present let out a sigh upon hearing his words.
In the past, Yan Zhaoge and the Incongruence Divine Mother had jointly released fake news to attract the two heretics.
Never would they have thought that the fake news would turn into reality under such a coincidence. They really obtained clues regarding the whereabouts of the Taiyi Nirvana Heavenly Lord – the Eastern Extremity Viridescent Splendour Emperor.
To Yan Zhaoge and the others, the good news was that the two heretics had indeed started fighting again. This allowed orthodox Daoism to have more time to rest and have more space to move around.
However, there was another bad news. When the results came out, the Taiyi Nirvana Heavenly Lord, one of the three heavyweights of the Heavenly Court’s Divine Palace and the most ancient Heavenly Lord, had already perished.
In terms of time, it should be around the time of the Great Calamity.
This result naturally made everyone in Daoism sigh.
“At least it proves that the Eastern Extremity Viridescent Splendour Emperor isn’t the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord.” Liu Zhenggu avoided Wang Pu and said to everyone else via sound transmission.
Yan Zhaoge and the others nodded in agreement.
“It also proves that both the fake Daoists and the fake Buddhas view the Humanly Essence Stone highly.”
The Brocade Emperor – Fu Yunchi also sent a sound transmission, “Moreover, the newly obtained fragment requires some time to take effect.”
Very few items were left behind by the Taiyi Nirvana Heavenly Lord’s place of death. The most eye-catching item was the Humanly Essence Stone fragment that belonged to the Grand Saint of Nine Spirits.
Due to this fragment, an intense war erupted between the Immortal Court and the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus.
The Immeasurable Heavenly Lord and the Future Buddha personally took action. As the war grew more intense, the Western Pure Lands’ orthodox Buddhism and the Astro Mountains Starry Seas’ Demon Race joined in as well.
In the end, the Blessed Lands of the White Lotus emerged victorious and obtained the Humanly Essence Stone fragment.
However, this didn’t signify the end of the war.
On the contrary, the war became even more intense.
Especially the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord and the Future Buddha, the two Dao Realm bigwigs.
To them, the concept of time had already become blurry. Ten thousand years were akin to an instant, and an instant was akin to ten thousand years.
However, in the outside world, close to fifty years had already passed.
It was precisely because of this that Yan Zhaoge and the others noticed something amiss.
Naturally, the Future Buddha wouldn’t be unable to refine a single Humanly Essence Stone fragment within fifty years. However, it was clear that he couldn’t accomplish it in a short period of time.
Under the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord’s interference, this period of time was extended indefinitely. As a result, he still couldn’t succeed even now.
As such, the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, who still had hope, continued to fight against the Future Buddha and continued to fight for the fragment.
