“Who exactly are you … Who are you … Divine …”
Yan Zhaoge’s voice reverberated within the dim yellow world.
After a long time, the echoes within the vast world dissipated completely.
Yan Zhaoge stood quietly on the spot with a calm expression, as if he wasn’t afraid of angering a Grand Heavenly Immortal.
Feng Yunsheng stood beside him with a calm expression and a tranquil gaze.
“It’s not a secret that I have the Earth Queen’s letter.”
Yan Zhaoge looked around, “You imitated the Earth Queen perfectly, and you should have a better understanding of her. It’s not hard for you to guess that I, who possesses the Later Earth Text, might be able to see through your disguise if I don’t meet you.”
“If what happened before was a test, then this Yan should have passed.”
Within the dim yellow world, the other party’s voice resounded once more.
“I wouldn’t dare to call myself a test. It’s just a small prank.”
The voice was still as gentle and sincere as the Earth Queen’s. However, it gradually became clearer and brighter.
Yan Zhaoge said thoughtfully, “To be able to imitate others so perfectly, it’s not just because you understand the Earth Queen. After all, my wife has already ascended to the Grand Heavenly Immortal Realm, and normal transformations aren’t hard to see through.”
“Since ancient times, there have only been a few people with such a powerful transformation ability that can deceive experts of the same realm, right?”
The other party answered, “It’s just a small trick.”
As he said that, the dim yellow world in front of Yan Zhaoge and Feng Yunsheng gradually faded away. The world they were in turned into a bright universe with a brilliant galaxy.
The starlight was far away, but it still illuminated the independent universe in front of them. While it was dark, it wasn’t cold and lonely.
As the stars shifted, the profundities were revealed, possessing a unique universe.
While the other party didn’t display any powerful aura, Yan Zhaoge and Feng Yunsheng could clearly feel that after the other party revealed his true form, he seemed to be even stronger than when he transformed into the Earth Queen.
The two’s thoughts moved slightly, and they looked towards a certain direction.
While the universe was vast and boundless, the direction that Yan Zhaoge and Feng Yunsheng were looking at seemed to be the center of the universe.
Over there, a silhouette appeared out of nowhere.
It was a young Daoist.
Just like the Incongruence Divine Mother, he revealed his true form in front of Yan Zhaoge and Feng Yunsheng.
After appraising the other party’s appearance, Yan Zhaoge instantly let out a long breath.
Fan Cloud Crown, water gown, silk sash around his waist, hemp shoes on his feet, a smile on his face, his appearance was delicate and elegant.
As disciples of Daoism, Yan Zhaoge and Feng Yunsheng were not unfamiliar with this image.
“True Lord of the Clear Origin Magical Dao!” Yan Zhaoge blurted out.
The young Taoist priest in front of him was the legendary Yang Jian, Yang Erlang!
While most people knew that his Daoist title was True Monarch, the ‘Heroic Radiant Beneficence, Clear Origin Wonderful Dao, Illuminating Prosperity Erlang Sage True Monarch’, or Erlang Sage True Monarch, Radiant Beneficence Benevolent King, Clear Origin Wonderful Dao True Monarch, etc., this number one figure of the Jade Clear’s third generation had long ascended to the Grand Heavenly Immortal Realm.
Having surpassed his predecessors, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that he was the most outstanding person of the Jade Clear lineage. His strength was exceedingly high. In the entire history of Daoism, or even in the entire thousand worlds, he was one of the top experts.
During the Middle era, he had once fought against the Great Sage Equalling Heavens. It was one of the few Grand Heavenly Immortal Realm pinnacle battles during the Middle era.
It was worth mentioning that, according to Yan Zhaoge’s knowledge, the Eight Nine Mysteries Art was created by Yang Jian himself, which was different from what he remembered in the legends.
This Yang Erlang should be considered as the first person of the Jade Clear lineage to create a peerless supreme martial art, which allowed him to become an outstanding figure of the Grand Heavenly Immortal Realm.
During the Ancient Investitures of the Gods era, Yang Jian relied on the Eight Nine Mysteries Art, which was the most proficient in the transformation of the fleshly body.
His senior apprentice-uncle, the Southern Extremity Immortal Old Man, who was later known as the Southern Extremity Longevity Emperor, created his own thunder art. However, his strength was inferior to Yang Jian’s.
However, after the Ancient Investitures of the Gods era, Yang Jian rarely appeared in the world. Although he had a title in the Heavenly Court’s Divine Palace, he rarely stepped into the Heavenly Court.
Other than his master, the Jade Cauldron Cultivated Deity, he rarely interacted with the other Jade Clear lineages of the Kunlun Mountain.
After appearing a few times during the Middle era, this most outstanding successor of the Jade Clear lineage stayed in seclusion most of the time. Very little information about him circulated around.
It was only during the Great Calamity of this era that there were rumors of him making a move.
However, after the Great Calamity, there were no more news about him.
Yan Zhaoge and the others had always guessed the whereabouts of this legendary figure of Daoism. They didn’t expect to meet him face to face today.
“Just now, you were saying that there were only a few people capable of such transformation.”
Yan Zhaoge looked at the young Daoist in front of him. After a moment of silence, he smiled and said, “However, there were only a few of them. In other words, there’s more than one.”
“After what happened just now, forgive me for not being able to confirm if you’re the True Lord of Clear Origin Miaodao.”
The young Daoist wasn’t annoyed. He smiled and said, “You’re the one who asked me who I am. I revealed my true form to you, yet you don’t believe me. Do you want me to show off a few tricks?”
Yan Zhaoge smiled and said, “You can’t blame me for being too careful.”
“Actually, there’s no difference.”
Yang Jian said, “Even if I prove who I am, what I say doesn’t mean that you’ll believe it completely, right?
It doesn’t matter how we talk, it doesn’t matter. “
“That might not be the case.” Yan Zhaoge laughed lightly, “You’re one of my idols.”
He wasn’t making this up. Instead, he was speaking from the bottom of his heart.
Although he couldn’t be compared to the Great Sage Equalling Heavens, he had a good impression of Yang Jian because of his past impressions of him.
“Clay figurine?”
Yang Jian shook his head and smiled, “Just like what you’ve said, I invited you here to meet me. If I wanted to be polite, why would I do this?
So, you don’t have to be so polite. “
Yan Zhaoge said, “My grandfather was of the Jade Cauldron Grand Master’s lineage. In other words, you’re truly a senior of our Daoism.”
Yang Jian said, “I’ve heard of your grandfather. He wasn’t of my lineage, so you don’t have to be so particular about it. You can just call me Daoist.
We’re all disciples of Daoism, and we both respect the Three Purities. We can be considered as having our own achievements and abilities. I’m just a step ahead of them. “
He looked at Yan Zhaoge and Feng Yunsheng and sighed emotionally, “Our fellow disciples have many outstanding talents. Our dao isn’t lonely. This is stronger than anything else.”
“Speaking of this, I have something to ask you.” Yan Zhaoge asked, “Now that the Earth Queen is here …”
Yang Jian’s gaze dimmed slightly, “The Earth Queen had perished during the Great Calamity.”
Yan Zhaoge and Feng Yunsheng’s expressions dimmed slightly as well.
“Still, why did you disguise yourself as the Earth Queen?” After a while, Yan Zhaoge asked.
Yang Jian said, “Because I discovered a secret in the past. If I reveal myself now, those related to it would be alerted. If I don’t reveal myself, they would think that I’m dead. The secret wouldn’t be revealed, and they would act on their own.”
