Perhaps it was because Yu Zhuo and the black-clothed man’s match had started off well, the cultivators who came up next were all trying their best to display their strength, using all kinds of mysterious methods to fight.
Some of these people were really not bad, causing Yang Kai to nod repeatedly as he watched. Some of these people’s battles were boring, with nothing to show for it. If it weren’t for the responsibility of the judge, Yang Kai would have fallen asleep.
A day passed, and when evening came, the sounds of fighting in the various arenas in the mountain valley came to a halt. Tens of thousands of cultivators were resting on the ground, waiting for tomorrow’s battle.
Yang Kai also returned to the Spirit Peak which belonged to the Azure Sun Temple for the time being. This day had exhausted him greatly. In fact, he had only stood on the stage to observe the battle and had not taken action many times, but maintaining his focus at all times was truly exhausting.
He had only rested for two hours when Gao Xueting sent him a message asking him to make a trip.
Helpless, Yang Kai could only push open the door and leave. Outside the main hall, the several Emperor Realm Elders of the Azure Sun Temple were waiting. Seeing Yang Kai appear, Wen Zishan grinned and said, “Let’s go.”
“Where?” Yang Kai couldn’t help feeling suspicious.
“You’ll know when we get there,” Wen Zishan wore a mysterious expression as he led everyone in a certain direction.
After asking Gao Xueting halfway, he learned that everyone was attending an exchange.
The Southern Domain Martial Meeting was a flourishing event, with tens of thousands of Southern Domain elite cultivators gathered together and hundreds of Emperor Realm gathered together. This was an extremely rare scene. During the day, the group of Emperor Realm would be responsible for acting as referees to maintain the order of the Martial Meeting. At night, the group of Emperor Realm would gather together and communicate.
This was a common practice at every Martial Meeting.
With so many Emperor Realm masters, each of them would always have some good things on hand. These things weren’t worth selling, but they could be exchanged for some of the treasures they needed. Of course, as the host of this event, the Plain Palace would also collect many treasures and take them out for the exchange.
This exchange wasn’t limited to just this one. On the first night, there would be an exchange, which would be held every five days. There would be a total of six sessions, which would guarantee that all the Emperor Realm present would have some harvest.
Hearing that it was an exchange, Yang Kai also became interested.
When they arrived, they saw hundreds of Emperor Realm gathered in a large hall. Although there were many of them, it was not noisy, but the constant surging of their Souls indicated that these people were secretly communicating with each other.
After the people from the Plain Palace arrived, a simple opening ceremony began.
As the host, the Plain Palace took the initiative to throw out a few extraordinary treasures, arousing everyone’s enthusiasm. Soon after, people began taking out items they didn’t want to exchange with others.
During this time, the Exchange Meeting was just a platform. As for how to ensure that neither side would suffer a loss, it would require both sides to discuss in private.
Yang Kai didn’t know what the others were thinking, but he didn’t see anything he was interested in. Now that his experience was far greater than it was in the past, ordinary treasures wouldn’t be able to tempt him, so he accompanied them here to watch the show.
On the other hand, Xiao Baiyi and Mu Rong Xiaoxiao seemed to be quite interested in many things, but unfortunately, the two of them had only recently broken through to the Emperor Realm, so their wealth wasn’t very rich. They didn’t have anything they could exchange with others, so they could only sigh helplessly.
In the second half of the night, the exchange meeting ended and everyone returned to their respective places.
On the second day, the Martial Meeting began again, and the quiet mountain valley became lively again.
Yang Kai didn’t join in the fun and simply sat down in the guest room to rest. Today, he didn’t need to be on duty as the judge, so he simply entered the Mysterious Small World to investigate.
Recently, he had been quite busy and hadn’t paid much attention to the situation in the Mysterious Small World. Now that he finally had some free time, he naturally wanted to take a look.
As soon as he entered the Mysterious Small World, he felt an invisible will pay attention to him, like a sleeping dragon staring at him before closing its eyes.
Yang Kai knew that this was Gun Gun will, so he didn’t take it to heart.
In the Star Field, using the Mysterious Small World as a vessel, using the Heavens Devourer Battle Law to devour the Cultivation Star had inadvertently given birth to a trace of will in the entire world of the Mysterious Small World, even transforming it into Gun Gun, which could be said to be a great harvest. However, Gun Gun didn’t have much self-awareness, so its existence was very special. Yang Kai still didn’t know how it was born, so even if he was given another chance, he couldn’t guarantee he could create a second Gun Gun.
The current Mysterious Small World was vast and full of vitality.
Gun Gun had devoured several Cultivation Stars in the Great Desolate Star Field and not only had he integrated the territory of the Cultivation Stars, but all the living beings living in those Cultivation Stars were now living in the Mysterious Small World.
The existence of these creatures brought about life and death, success and failure, allowing this world to form a cycle of reincarnation.
For some reason, Yang Kai felt that the current Mysterious Small World was somewhat different from before, as if this was the real world. With a single thought, Yang Kai felt an invisible and majestic force press down on him, making him feel like he was the world itself.
World Energy! Only by comprehending the World Energy could one become a Great Emperor.
Yang Kai, who could clearly feel this power, was pleasantly surprised. Although he had been able to control the Mysterious Small World before, he had never been able to feel the power of Heaven and Earth so easily in this world. It seemed that after swallowing several Cultivation Stars and countless living creatures, this world had indeed changed.
Although he was only a 2nd order Emperor Realm, he would definitely not stop at the Emperor Realm. Even if his future was filled with thorns, he was destined to advance bravely.
Taking a deep breath, Yang Kai closed his eyes and released his Divine Sense, focusing on comprehending.
It was a wonderful feeling. His entire body felt warm and comfortable, as if he had become one with this world, but at the same time, he felt like he was lying in his mother’s womb, completely unaffected by the outside world, allowing his body and mind to drift about endlessly.
There was no need to deliberately feel anything. The world had turned into a warm bed, allowing one to sleep here forever, maintaining this wonderful state. An invisible force gathered from all directions, wrapping around him like silk threads.
The world fell silent as Yang Kai closed his eyes to maintain this wondrous state. Suddenly, a chill ran through his mind and all the warmth and comfort disappeared. An indescribable sense of crisis descended from the sky, causing Yang Kai to suddenly open his eyes. Feeling dizzy, he could only sense that his Divine Sense was about to merge with this world, causing his expression to change drastically as he hurriedly urged his Soul to awaken.
The Divine Sense that was spreading out like a tide suddenly returned, and with a loud bang, his ears went deaf and his eyes went black as he spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground.
After an unknown period of time, Yang Kai’s lifeless eyes gradually began to focus as an indescribable pain spread throughout his body, as if he had been cut into a thousand pieces, especially deep inside his head. His fingers twitched as he slowly regained his senses and sat down cross-legged to meditate.
At this moment, Yang Kai’s entire body was drenched in sweat, as if he had just been fished out of water, his face filled with lingering fear.
He also didn’t know what exactly had happened. Originally, he had only wanted to use the Mysterious Small World to comprehend what was going on with the World Energy, but now his Soul was showing signs of dissipating. If it weren’t for the Soul Warming Lotus’ help at the critical moment, he feared he would have died.
What the hell was this? It was just a small enlightenment and he had almost failed miserably. Yang Kai didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
However, he had a faint feeling that this so-called World Energy was not something he could touch right now. It was precisely because he had touched this World Energy that he was unable to withstand it.
The Emperor Qi in his body was somewhat chaotic, so Yang Kai wanted to investigate, but he found that he was unable to condense his Soul, so he could only give up.
After resting for a while, he slowly regained his strength and with a thought, appeared in the medicine garden.
The entire Mysterious Small World had undergone a massive change, but the Medicine Garden had not changed at all. This was the core region of the Mysterious Small World, and also the forbidden zone of the entire Mysterious Small World.
The Medicine Garden had long since been covered up by him. From the outside, it was impossible to see what was happening inside. Without his permission, even if an Emperor Realm master came here, they wouldn’t be able to force their way in.
After entering the medicine garden, Yang Kai discovered that there were many people gathered around, all of them Void King Realm. Obviously, the cultivators on the Cultivation Stars that had been swallowed by the surging waves had also discovered the strangeness of the medicine garden and wanted to take a look. Unfortunately, their strength was insufficient, so they were unable to enter. At this moment, they were all gathered in groups of two or three, discussing how to enter the medicine garden.
This scene made Yang Kai laugh. He hadn’t expected that his Medicine Garden would attract so many people.
He had arranged for these billions of living beings to live in the Mysterious Small World, firstly because he was not afraid of them when he swallowed the Cultivation Star, and also because he wanted to see what kind of changes the Mysterious Small World would undergo after these billions of living beings entered it.
Reality proved that the Mysterious Small Boundary had indeed undergone some changes. If the previous Mysterious Small World was just an empty shell, then the current Mysterious Small World had become more substantial, like a walking corpse with its own vitality, truly becoming a world. This could be seen from the changes in the heavenly power.
However, Yang Kai would not allow them to have any improper thoughts about his medicine garden.
Gently raising his hand, an invisible force spread out.
In the next moment, the many cultivators gathered around the medicine garden all wore shocked expressions, because all of them couldn’t help retreating as if an invisible hand was dragging them.
Regardless of whether one was a 3rd order Void King Realm or a 2nd order Void King Realm, no one could resist this power. In front of this kind of power, everyone felt insignificant.
