“Just now, I vaguely felt the Vast Freedom Heavenly Devil.”
Feng Yunsheng’s voice resounded from Yan Zhaoge’s right eye.
“The Immeasurable Heavenly Lord and the Future Buddha are still fighting for the Humanly Essence Stone’s fragment. They’re probably too busy to deal with it.”
Yan Zhaoge said, “However, the Amitabha Buddha and the East Sovereign might still be paying attention to us. Yunsheng, your ascension to the Grand Heavenly Realm would definitely attract their attention.”
As such, after the Red Inferno Yamada Buddha, Yellow Wind Monster, Dragon Head Immortal, and the others retreated, Yan Zhaoge’s group didn’t pursue them. Instead, they retracted their figures.
A new Grand Heavenly Immortal from the orthodox Daoism would attract the attention of many.
Compared to Suo Mingzhang, Feng Yunsheng’s situation was a little more unique.
Whether she was a Grand Heavenly Immortal created by the Three Clear lineage was still unknown.
Traces of the Nine Underworlds still existed on her.
Since it involved the Sixth Ancestral Devil, the Doomsday Heavenly Devil, everyone would pay attention to it.
This was also the reason why the Fifth Ancestral Devil and the Vast Freedom Heavenly Devil were alarmed.
“However, the Vast Freedom Heavenly Devil might be helping us this time. Only, he definitely doesn’t have any good intentions. He’s doing this for the sake of the Nine Underworlds.” Yan Zhaoge’s gaze flickered slightly, and he muttered.
Within his pupils, Feng Yunsheng’s voice calmed down.
Xue Fei and Gao Qingxuan both looked over. Yan Zhaoge shook his head, “We can’t see the other party’s chess strategy clearly. However, most of them are still setting up the pieces.”
He lightly rubbed his temples, “From the looks of it, Jian Shunhua’s matter was merely a gamble between the two sides. Victory and defeat depended on each side’s capabilities.”
“I won’t lose.” Feng Yunsheng’s voice finally resounded, calm and peaceful.
Yan Zhaoge smiled slightly and caressed his right eye with his finger.
“According to the rumors, the Vast Freedom Heavenly Devil hadn’t appeared for many years. Now, he has finally reappeared.”
Xue Fei slowly said, “The Great Dao Ancestors have made their moves as well. I heard that the Amitabha Buddha has always been peaceful. However, from the looks of it, that doesn’t seem to be the case.”
Yan Zhaoge waved his hand, “After the Middle era, the central Blessed Lands of Saha prospered, which was why the Amitabha Buddha and the Western Pure Lands didn’t do anything. However, don’t forget that during the Ancient era, the Western Sect’s Second Patriarch, the Amitabha Buddha, or the Guide Daoist, was the Great Sect Master. He single-handedly received the Three Thousand Worldly Guests, which was how Buddhism’s foundation was established.”
“There’s news from the Holy Mother.” Gao Qingxuan smiled and said, “The Immortal Slaying Ancient Sword has been obtained!”
Hearing his words, Yan Zhaoge and Xu Fei both heaved sighs of relief, high-fiving each other in celebration.
“However, Empyrean Jade Clear Guangcheng has indeed perished.”
After Gao Qingxuan’s happiness subsided, she recalled something and let out a soft sigh, “The Divine Mother found his corpse along with the sword.”
Yan Zhaoge and Xu Fei both shook their heads, the joy on their faces vanishing.
Although they had guessed it before, now that it was confirmed, it still made them sigh.
The Lord of Guangcheng had the reputation of being the first disciple of the Jade Illusory Lineage. He was one of the proudest disciples of the Jade Clear lineage’s founder, the Primordial Heavenly Lord.
After the Ancient era of Investitures of the Gods, the Three Clear lineage transcended, and the Three Clear lineage became independent of the Heavenly Court’s Divine Palace. Guangcheng Zi had always been viewed as the leader of the Jade Clear lineage.
Unexpectedly, many years later, he still met with a tribulation and perished during the Great Calamity.
It was hard to tell if it was due to the past grudges or the fact that he wielded the Immortal Slaying Ancient Sword.
When Yan Zhaoge and the others met up with the Incongruence Divine Mother, within a world of sword-lights, an ancient sword flickering with dense green radiances hovered in mid-air.
Beneath the ancient sword, a figure with a heavy and majestic aura sat in a lotus position.
Although he was missing an arm and was lacking perfection, one could still feel his majesty and demeanor when he was alive.
While others admired him, he didn’t lack any sharpness.
When the Lord of Guangcheng was alive, he was one of the few great sword cultivators of the Jade Clear lineage other than the Jade Cauldron Cultivated Deity.
Only, his attainments in the Cyclic Heavenly Scripture and the Cyclic Heavenly Seal were more well-known.
Beside the Lord of Guangcheng’s corpse, another woman’s silhouette stood. Although she seemed a little illusory, her sharpness deterred others from approaching her.
Yan Zhaoge and the others greeted, “Greetings to the Incongruence Divine Mother.”
This woman was inseparable from the world of sword-lights and resembled the ruler of this place. Naturally, she was the Prime Clear bigwig expert, the Lord of Numinous Treasure’s personal disciple – the Incongruence Divine Mother.
The image in front of them was her true appearance when she met Yan Zhaoge and the others.
After the Ancient era’s Investitures of the Gods War, there were very few Prime Clear bigwigs who didn’t meet with a tribulation. The Incongruence Divine Mother was one of them.
In this era, after the Great Calamity, the Incongruence Divine Mother managed to survive until now.
She nodded towards Yan Zhaoge and the others and gestured for the kneeling Gao Qingxuan to stand up. Then, she retracted her gaze and continued looking at the one-armed Daoist’s corpse, remaining silent.
Although they weren’t on good terms in the past, they had known each other for ages, and they were both of the Three Clear Lineage. Now that the news of Guangcheng’s death had been confirmed, the Incongruence Divine Mother felt rather sentimental.
In the past few decades, she had continuously confirmed the deaths of the Taiyi Nirvana Heavenly Lord and the Lord of Guangcheng.
However, from the side, Yan Zhaoge and the others felt that this veteran Prime Clear Heavenly Lord seemed to be thinking about something. Her heart was filled with doubts.
For her to risk revealing her true appearance and stay here for such a long period of time, what kind of problem could it be?
Seeing this, Yan Zhaoge and the others didn’t disturb the Incongruence Divine Mother. They first bowed towards the Lord of Guangcheng’s corpse.
Looking at the Daoist’s calm expression before his death, Yan Zhaoge and the others sighed in their hearts.
Seeing that the Incongruence Divine Mother had no intention of objecting, Yan Zhaoge extended his hand and grabbed towards the Immortal Extermination Sword hovering in the air.
As the sword-light trembled, scenes seemed to flash within Yan Zhaoge’s mind, narrating the past events of the Great Calamity.
Incomplete and even messed up scenes came pouring in.
Yan Zhaoge calmed himself down. After pondering for a while, he gradually organized his thoughts.
He turned to look at Xu Fei and Gao Qingxuan and sighed, “As expected, the various forces joined forces to suppress my Daoism.”
The Heavenly Court’s Divine Palace was the start of the Great Calamity.
When the Great Calamity completely engulfed the heavens and earth, very few could remain uninvolved.
Within the chaotic Great Calamity, the cycle of karma and desires were unavoidable.
Perhaps the old saying was true — it wasn’t that revenge wasn’t forthcoming, but that the time wasn’t right.
And when the time came, it was time for those who had grudges to take revenge, and those who had enmity to take revenge.
Other than the Heavenly Court’s Divine Palace, among the Three Clear Lineage, the Jade Clear lineage, which was the most glorious during the Ancient era, was in the worst state during the Great Calamity.
Of course, other than the grudges of the past, there were also other factors, such as the competition for benefits and the great dao.
On one hand, the Lord of Guangcheng had to deal with his enemies, and on the other hand, he had to deal with the bigwig experts who coveted the Immortal Exterminating Sword and other treasures.
Even without the Immortal Exterminating Formation Diagram, the Immortal Exterminating Four Swords were still the target of many.
After all, even those who possessed the Immortal Exterminating Formation Diagram wouldn’t be able to lay down the complete Immortal Exterminating Formation.
As a result, the Heavenly Lord of Guangcheng was besieged by all sorts of enemies. Some of them even chased after him.
In the end, even the Nine Underworlds Great Devils, who were viewed as public enemies, could take advantage of the chaos and attempt to take advantage of Guangcheng.
