HSSB616: A former ymate


    As the news spread, it was Water Crystal Pce and Green Snake Ind who felt worst.


    Water Crystal Pce seemed already able to see the Spirit Returning Sect leaving it, entering Changli Mountain’s embrace. Meanwhile, Guan Jingqiong and the others of Green Snake Ind could not help but feel like mming their heads on the ground non-stop.


    The Spirit Returning Ind had always yearned to seek the true appearance of the Xuanwu Fist Scripture to improve their martial arts legacy, but how would it not have been the same for them?


    They felt even more troubled by the fact that if the Spirit Returning Ind sessfully improved further, their Green Snake Ind might then be decimated at any time.


    The Chief of the Ind, ‘Green Snake Madame’ Guan Jingqiong, truly didn’t know how she would be able to face her past predecessors of Green Snake Ind at all now.


    After hearing that Yan Zhaoge had reappeared in the Vast Ocean World, the other major powers were all paying close attention to this as well.


    The major battles that had been urring between Good and Evil all temporarily ceased, no one stirring up any major conflicts as they all wanted to see how Yan Zhaoge would be acting now that he had reappeared in this world.


    Yan Zhaoge didn’t have the intention of doing anything further. He merely met the Chief of Changli Mountain, Gao Tianzhong, after which they exchanged all the required pleasantries.


    Gao Tianzhong had sessfully Transcended Mortality and entered Sainthood, his personal strength being simr to that of Pce Lord Lin Shi of Water Crystal Pce and the Chief of the Dragon yer Sect Zhao Zhong as he had reced thete Evil Saint, Lin Qiancheng, as one of the three hegemons of the Vast Ocean World.


    Still, Gao Tianzhong’s mind remained very clear. He too thought of Water Crystal Pce’s recentck of activity as signifying that they were actually growing stronger in secret.


    As for Yan Zhaoge’s reappearance, Gao Tianzhong was naturally extremely weing of it.


    Now, he could more or less understand that Yan Zhaoge had no intention of iming authority within the Vast Ocean World. At the very least, he had no such aspirations for the time being.


    It was just that yet more of Yan Zhaoge’s fellow disciples having appeared in the Vast Ocean World this time, those of Changli Mountain also secretly took notice of this.


    “Chief Gao, this Yan has something else to do and will soon be leaving this ce. My fellow disciples may be of some trouble as they remain here. Please help to take care of them,” Yan Zhaoge smiled.


    Gao Tianzhong and the other Changli Mountain martial practitioners were all somewhat taken aback by this. From what Yan Zhaoge had said, he sounded like he would not be appearing for a long time.


    Many thoughts shed through Gao Tianzhong’s mind, but he didn’t hesitate at all as he emotionally replied, “Mister Yan is polite. Friends havinge from faraway, our sect naturally wees them.”


    After host and guests had finished interacting, Yan Zhaoge and the others left while Lu Feng of the Spirit Returning Sect remained behind.


    While they were here for Yan Zhaoge’s Xuanwu Fist Scripture, since they had decided to draw away from Water Crystal Pce and draw close to Changli Mountain, the Spirit Returning Sect naturally had tomunicate with Changli Mountain regarding many things.


    Yan Zhaoge and the others left the great hall, everyone’s gazes simultaneously falling on Xu Fei.


    Xu Fei and Shi Jun had already spent more than fifteen years in the Vast Ocean World. While Xu Fei outwardly still appeared to be in his thirties or forties, he was actually already getting close to fifty.


    He had not wasted all these years away, having already long since be an Essence Talisman Martial Grandmaster. This was extremely young when considering his age and his longevity.


    Yan Zhaoge asked, “How is Sister-inw Yuzhen?”


    Ying Yuzhen had had her longevity shortened due to injuries. Now that more than ten years had passed, if she still wasn’t doing better, things would really not be looking good for her.


    Xu Fei smiled, “Jun’er is looking after her. Thankfully, we found a Purple Bamboo Immortal Pistil some years back, increasing her longevity a little. Her situation is already much better, just that she has still yet to wake up.”


    Yan Zhaoge sighed in relief upon hearing this, “There are Purple Bamboo Immortal Pistils in this Vast Ocean World? That’s good then.”


    Methods for extending longevity were already rare from the start, yet Ying Yuzhen’s situation was unique, such that many of these could not be used and many spirit medicines could not easily be consumed. Thus, there were much fewer methods that could be used.


    Purple Bamboo Immortal Pistils had not been discovered in the Eight Extremities World and the Floating Life World before. Having not thought that there might be some in this Vast Ocean World, Yan Zhaoge could not but emotionally sigh that heaven always gives us a way out.


    They proceeded to the back mountains of Changli Mountain together. In a courtyard stood a youth who appeared around twenty-seven or twenty-eight, his gaze firm and his features handsome.


    “Senior apprentice-grandaunt Fu, senior apprentice-uncle Yan,” This youth, Shi Jun, smiled joyfully upon seeing Yan Zhaoge and the others.


    He first greeted Yan Zhaoge and Fu Enshu before doing the same with his other fellow disciples.


    While Feng Yunsheng, Sikong Qing and the others had already long since learnt that time flowed differently in the Vast Ocean World and the Eight Extremities World, seeing Shi Jun who now hadpletely the look of a handsome youth, they still felt rather unused to it.


    Ying Longtu dazedly looked up at Shi Jun who was now nearly a head taller than him.


    Back in Broad Creed Mountain, the two of them having been around the same age, the rtionship between them had been quite good. It was just that a former ymate now suddenly being more than ten years older than him, it truly caused Han Long’er who was already gradually bing better versed with the ways of the world to feel like his brain was insufficient for usage again.


    It was instead Shi Jun who smiled like he always had, solemnly bowing towards Ying Longtu, “Senior apprentice-uncle Ying.”


    “At…at ease…” A rather dazed Ying Longtu stuttered slightly.


    Everyone had originally still been feeling awkward. Seeing how Ying Longtu looked now, they insteadughed as it was no longer as awkward for them.


    Standing beside Xu Fei, Yan Zhaoge secretly sent him a sound transmission, “Senior apprentice-brother Xu, having returned to the Eight Extremities World, I sent Ah Hu over to Turbid Wave Pavilion to meet Senior Sister Xie.”


    Xu Fei’s gaze focused on Yan Zhaoge and Ah Hu.


    Yan Zhaoge nodded to Ah Hu, who scratched the back of his head, “Brother Fei, I’ve seen Miss Xie, Xie Youchan. As Young Master instructed, I invited her toe to the Vast Ocean World with us.”


    “Miss Xie rejected the offer. Still, she asked you to head over to Turbid Wave Pavilion if you do return in the future.”


    Ah Hu asked rather uprehendingly, “I asked around and found that Miss Xie hasn’t found anyone new. Why hasn’t shee, though?”


    Yan Zhaoge elbowed him, scoldingughingly, “What’re you saying?”


    Ah Hu gave a simple and honest smile, while Xu Fei could not help but smile as well, “I can basically understand why she hasn’te. Rx, I will definitely find a way to return to the Eight Extremities World to see her when I’m able to.”


    Yan Zhaoge smiled, “Now that senior apprentice-aunt Fu and so many fellow disciples are here, there is no longer a need for you to stay by Sister-inw Yuzhen’s and Jun’er’s side all the time.”


    “I’ll leave the Lofty Prestige Mirror to you and teach you the Mirror Dimensional Traversing Technique. When the Lofty Prestige Mirror has fully recovered around a yearter, you can return to the Eight Extremities World on your own.”


    “You’d better hurry. Otherwise, when you’ve gotten back, you’d already be two generations older than her.”


    Xu Fei ignored Yan Zhaoge’s teasing as he simply frowned, “I can indeed set my mind at ease then. Still, having given me the treasure, what about you yourself then?”


    Yan Zhaoge answered, “I won’t need the Lofty Prestige Mirror to head to the World beyond Worlds. I probably won’t need it after having gone there as well.”


    Seeing that Xu Fei’s brows were still knit tightly, Yan Zhaoge paused for a moment before continuing, “Having chatted with Old Man Mo earlier, I heard him mention some things there are in the World beyond Worlds. If they still exist there now, I will naturally have other methods if necessary.”


    “There isn’t only the Mirror Dimensional Traversing Technique that can open temporary dimensional passageways.”


    Hearing Yan Zhaoge say this, Xu Fei finally felt reassured, “When will you be going then?”


    Yan Zhaoge said quietly, “Now.”
