Chapter 48

PS: After midnight tonight, there will be another update. I hope everyone will support me with your recommendations. Thank you.

The Sun Wheel and the Spirit Sword Green Dragon are both outstanding among the lower-grade spirit weapons.

If not for someone with the family background of Yan Zhaoge and Xiao Sheng, it would be rare for a grandmaster martial artist to possess a lower-grade spirit weapon.

As for middle-grade spirit weapons, Yan’s father and Xiao Sheng’s maternal grandfather naturally have plenty to spare.

However, with Yan Zhaoge and Xiao Sheng’s current cultivation, activating a lower-grade spirit weapon is already their limit, and they can only utilize a limited amount of its power.

Like the Crown of the Great Yin, which can be driven by a grandmaster martial artist, is currently the only one of its kind in the Eight Great Worlds.

Not to mention other holy weapons, even upper-grade and middle-grade spirit weapons, grandmaster martial artists would not bother to drive them.

The autonomous spirit of spirit weapons is far superior to that of treasure weapons.

Therefore, Feng Yunsheng watched with interest as Yan Zhaoge took possession of the Sun Wheel.

Spirit weapons have their own autonomous spirit, and if the target is not a grandmaster, they will not easily change their master to serve others.

The Sun Wheel was only temporarily entangled by the Spirit Sword Green Dragon; it had not yet submitted to Yan Zhaoge.

If not for the Spirit Sword Green Dragon’s entanglement, the Sun Wheel would have long flown away to seek its original master, Xiao Sheng.

Now, although Yan Zhaoge has the opportunity to temporarily bind the Sun Wheel, his Spirit Sword Green Dragon has become a shackle for the Sun Wheel.

The two spirit weapons are mutually restraining each other. Before resolving this issue, not only can Yan Zhaoge not use the Sun Wheel, but he cannot even use the Spirit Sword Green Dragon.

His overall strength has actually decreased significantly.

For grandmaster martial artists, the significance of a lower-grade spirit weapon is similar to that of a treasure weapon for a body-refining martial artist.

Taking possession of it is natural, but if he encounters an enemy next, it will inevitably be somewhat awkward.

"Hmm," Feng Yunsheng suddenly paused, seeing Yan Zhaoge approach the Sun Wheel and the Spirit Sword Green Dragon, then extend both hands to grasp the two spirit weapons.

The Sun Wheel trembled violently, and a fierce aura erupted, as if a grandmaster who had been in a deep sleep had been awakened.

The Spirit Sword Green Dragon also behaved similarly, and the two spirit weapons seemed about to engage in a struggle that no one present could intervene in.

But Yan Zhaoge lightly brushed his hands, held his fingers loosely, and continuously tapped the two spirit weapons, imbued with a strange rhythm.

The Spirit Sword Green Dragon and the Sun Wheel trembled slightly again.

A strange light appeared in Yan Zhaoge’s eyes, and the scene before him changed, as if he had entered a completely different world.

In this world, a large golden sun hung high in the sky, and a green dragon continuously coiled around it.

As Yan Zhaoge’s fingers continued to tap, the two spirit weapons gradually calmed down.

It was not that they were mutually restraining and canceling each other out, but truly becoming calm and dormant.

Feng Yunsheng opened her mouth slightly: "To calm the Sun Wheel so quickly, how did he do it?"

"Unheard of."

Regaining her composure, Feng Yunsheng clicked her tongue in admiration: "Although I have heard of your reputation before, today I realize that the rumors were not exaggerated, but rather too conservative."

"The saying 'hearing is not as good as seeing'—I have known it since childhood, but today I feel it most deeply."

Yan Zhaoge, having taken possession of the two spirit weapons, snapped his fingers: "I have many strengths, but my greatest strength is being low-key."

"So you will gradually discover that your thoughts today are still too conservative."

Feng Yunsheng nodded with a smile: "Alright, I’ll wait and see."

She asked: "By the way, seeing you advance to the middle stage of the Outer Gang realm, why were they so surprised? Breaking through under pressure, though rare, is not unheard of."

"Some people specifically seek life-and-death moments to break through their bottlenecks, as I know."

A black-clad martial artist beside Yan Zhaoge spoke up: "Young Master broke through to the initial stage of the Outer Gang realm from the Inner Gang realm just less than a month ago."

They, a group who always followed Yan Zhaoge, were also stunned and found it hard to believe when they saw him break through, not much better than the people of the Great Sun Holy Sect.

Feng Yunsheng could no longer remain calm, looking at Yan Zhaoge with a disbelieving expression.

After a long moment, she blurted out:

"Are you human?"

Yan Zhaoge smiled without speaking.

Feng Yunsheng drew a cold breath and, after a long while, regained her composure: "They say that although you are a genius, you are far behind your father. But now it seems that at least in terms of the speed of realm advancement, you surpass your father."

Before the Great Catastrophe, the records were lost, and there was no way to verify.

But after the Great Catastrophe, in the recorded history, Yan Zhaoge’s father, the youngest disciple of the current Grand Master of Guangcheng Mountain, Yan Di, was the youngest grandmaster and the youngest grandmaster in history.

And now, he is also likely to become the youngest martial saint.

Yan Zhaoge smiled. Compared to breaking through from the late stage of the Inner Gang realm to the initial stage of the Outer Gang realm, advancing from the initial stage of the Outer Gang realm to the middle stage was much easier.

There was a bit of serendipity involved. Achieving the Outer Gang realm, he quickly completed the second bone-washing and marrow-cleansing, with the Spirit Treasure Pill helping to condense the Gang Qi, the Ice Dragon Bone Soul providing sufficient power to break through, and the unique cultivation methods he practiced, among other factors.

"Everyone says that a tiger father has no dog son, so I have to work hard. I don’t aim to surpass my father, but at least not fall too far behind."

Yan Zhaoge smiled: "Moreover, in the cultivation of martial artists, some people can easily cross a certain barrier, while others cannot break through it no matter how long they try."

"But once everyone crosses that barrier, the next difficult barrier might be the opposite, and those who were originally behind might surpass those who were ahead."

"This is a common occurrence."

Feng Yunsheng shot him a glare: "But I haven’t seen anyone as exaggerated as you, advancing from the initial stage of the Outer Gang realm to the middle stage in just a month, unprecedented, right?"

Yan Zhaoge raised an eyebrow and smiled: "So I always say, I have many strengths, but my greatest strength is being low-key."

He then changed the subject: "Speaking of which, our meeting is probably not a coincidence."

Feng Yunsheng was taken aback.

Yan Zhaoge looked at her and slowly said: "I was originally looking for Meng Wan."

"Don’t look at me like that. She is the Great Yin Daughter of the Great Sun Holy Sect, and I am a disciple of Guangcheng Mountain. It’s normal to try to make her lose the Great Yin Trial."

Yan Zhaoge stroked his chin: "Now that I think about it, my people were tracking her, and she noticed, leading me to you."

"I said Meng Wan never leaves the Great Sun Holy Sect’s mountain gate privately, but this time she acted out of character. It’s not without reason."

Feng Yunsheng’s gaze softened: "Xiao Wan was helping me. After the master’s passing, she knew that Xiao Sheng personally left the mountain to seek revenge on me, so she came to mediate."

"Leading you here, she probably hoped that Guangcheng Mountain would take me in and protect me, so she wouldn’t have to face the dilemma herself."

Yan Zhaoge asked: "Are you from the same master?"

Feng Yunsheng shook her head: "No, but back then, we were both Great Yin Daughters and had to receive the same training and guidance, so we often spent time together."
