Therefore, if they really counted, they would have to thank Wu Kuang. Without Wu Kuang’s slaughter, they wouldn’t have had a chance to obtain supremacy.
“But there’s always a chance, right? In the end, a Great Emperor isn’t immortal,” Sheng Yuzhu smiled slightly. Perhaps she had been a beauty at her peak, her smile sweet, but at this moment, it wasn’t appropriate for her to smile because it was uglier than crying. “Your greatest advantage is your youth.”
Yang Kai nodded, “Senior is right.” He had only been cultivating for a hundred years, and with his aptitude, cultivating to the Third-Order Emperor Realm or even half a step away from becoming a Great Emperor was definitely not a problem. His lifespan was extremely long, and if that time came, he might have a chance to reach the peak.
Sheng Yuzhu slowly said, “If that day really comes… I mean, if that day comes, I will tell you how to become a Great Emperor.”
Yang Kai’s body trembled, his eyes flashing as he stared at Sheng Yuzhu, “Does Senior know the secret to becoming a Great Emperor?”
This was something he had always been puzzled about. He only knew that if he wanted to become a Great Emperor, he needed to grasp the Heavenly Energy of Heaven and Earth, but he didn’t know anything else about it. However, Great Emperors were extremely noble, so even if they could grasp the Heavenly Energy of Heaven and Earth, they might not necessarily be able to succeed. Now, Sheng Yuzhu's words gave him endless hope.
Sheng Yuzhu said, “If I hadn’t been plotted against by Wu Kuang back then, I might have had a chance. I’ve experienced something similar once, do you think I know?”
Yang Kai suddenly felt like scratching his ears and cheeks, his heart itching to use brute force to pry open this Sheng Yuzhu's mouth and dig out all her secrets. If he could truly understand the secrets of the Great Emperor, then when the time came, he would be able to walk ahead of everyone else.
But in the end, he wasn’t someone who couldn’t differentiate right from wrong, so how could he go against his conscience?
It had to be said that the returns from the Sheng Yuzhu were quite great. Although it sounded somewhat unreliable, it was more valuable than any kind of treasure.
He grinned and said, “Are you going to tell me now?” Although he knew it was a bit impossible, he still wanted to try. Perhaps the other party really was kind enough to teach him.
Sheng Yuzhu slowly shook her head, “If the time isn’t right, there’s no point in telling you. You should just focus on cultivating. Opportunities are given to those who are prepared.”
Yang Kai nodded and didn’t insist any further. Suddenly, his expression became solemn again, “Then when the time comes, this Junior may have to compete with Senior. Does Senior not worry about provoking a powerful enemy?”
Even if there really was a chance, that chance was extremely slim. It was impossible for several Great Emperors to suddenly appear like after the battle in Star Fragments Sea like last time. Even if one of these Greaat Emperors died, it would be a world-shaking event.
So even if there was an opportunity in the future, it was most likely that only one spot would appear. Sheng Yuzhu was basically creating a powerful enemy for herself, and this enemy would know everything she knew.
Hearing this, Sheng Yuzhu smiled and said, “In the struggle of the Great Dao, either you die or I live. What’s more, do you really think that when that time comes, there will only be the two of us? At that time, anyone who is qualified will be able to sense it and perhaps we can join forces.”
“So that’s what Senior is thinking.” Yang Kai’s doubts disappeared, and he had to admit that what she said made sense. When that time came, all the old monsters hidden in this world would rush forward, so what difference would it make if there was one more or one less person? In fact, she could even join forces with Yang Kai to fight against the enemy, and at the last moment, they would fight to the death.
Thinking of this, Yang Kai no longer hesitated and cupped his fists, “This junior is deeply grateful for Senior’s kindness. Now, let us leave this place.”
“Thank you for your trouble,” Sheng Yuzhu nodded lightly, trying her best to suppress her trembling voice, showing just how excited she was.
After all, she had been trapped here for tens of thousands of years, and if she didn’t leave now, she would really become a pile of bones.
Yang Kai knew that she couldn’t move easily, so he didn’t hold back and directly walked over to apologize. Reaching out, he picked her up. It was as if he was holding a pile of bones, making Yang Kai sigh.
She was only half a step away from becoming a Great Emperor, yet she had ended up in such a miserable state. Just how much suffering had she suffered over the years? What’s more, she was a woman. He didn’t know how she had provoked Wu Kuang, but before she could fight for the position of Great Emperor, she had been plotted against.
The Space Laws surged as Yang Kai opened up a path and returned to the valley in the blink of an eye.
As the rich World Energy surged towards her, the Sheng Yuzhu in his arms couldn’t help letting out a groan, her turbid eyes suddenly releasing a shocking light. How many years had it been since she had felt the World Energy? Within the Void Crack, there was only endless nothingness and chaos. If it weren’t for her Divine Art protecting her, she wouldn’t have been able to last so many years.
Yang Kai could clearly feel that Sheng Yuzhu’s body was trembling slightly, so he could understand her mood and deliberately changed the subject, “This place is the Southern Domain’s Rakshasa Sect. Senior may not have heard of it, but this Sect has just suffered a great calamity and countless masters have died. I have some connections with one of these Sects, so I came here to serve as a Guest Elder and try my best to protect them. If Senior doesn’t give up, why don’t we temporarily rest in this Sect and wait until you recover a bit before making any further plans?”
“As long as i'm still breathing, you can do whatever you want.” Sheng Yuzhu didn’t mind at all, only greedily breathing in the surrounding air, as if she had received a new life.
Yang Kai said, “Since Senior doesn’t mind, please follow my arrangements.”
“Wait a moment.” Just as Yang Kai was about to leave, Sheng Yuzhu suddenly patted his arm.
Yang Kai didn’t know what to say, so he simply stood in place.
At this time, it was already dawn. After waiting for a long time, a warm light slowly enveloped the earth, and Sheng Yuzhu looked towards the east. When she saw the sun rise, her eyes filled with sadness and excitement, “I didn’t expect to see this scene again.”
Yang Kai was speechless. He had thought that she had something she needed to deal with, but who would have thought that she had deliberately stayed behind to watch the sunrise? It could only be said that after living for tens of thousands of years, she was still a woman.
But then again, Yang Kai sincerely admired her. If he had been trapped in the Void for tens of thousands of years, even if he had the means to preserve his life, he was afraid his personality would have changed drastically and he would have gone crazy, but not Sheng Yuzhu. This showed just how strong her temperament and perseverance were. Yang Kai didn’t doubt that as long as she could restore herself to her peak, when the time came for the struggle for the Great Dao, he might not be her opponent, and perhaps no one in this world would be her opponent.
But so what? Even Sheng Yuzhu didn’t mind sharing her greatest secret, so how could Yang Kai, a man, be afraid? As cultivators of the Martial Dao, they should have a clear mind and a sharp mind.
Looking towards the east, Yang Kai’s heart was filled with unlimited pride. The conversation he had with Sheng Yuzhu made him feel a sense of urgency. Opportunities were indeed reserved for those who were prepared. Although he didn’t know when this opportunity would arrive, before that, he needed to have the qualifications to fight with the heroes of the world. If he didn’t have the qualifications, even if the opportunity came, he could only watch as it slipped away from his fingertips.
Therefore, strength was the key to everything. One had to raise one’s cultivation to qualify for the competition.
After accompanying Yu Zhu for a while to watch the sunrise, Yang Kai brought her back to Rakshasa Peak.
When Ran Yirue and Yu Keren saw Yang Kai return with a thin woman in his arms, both of them were shocked, mainly because Sheng Yuzhu’s current appearance was too shocking, but they didn’t dare ask too many questions. Under Yang Kai’s orders, they respectfully arranged for her to be brought into a room.
After the two women left, Yang Kai said, “Senior, please rest here for the time being. If you need anything, just let me know.”
Sheng Yuzhu didn’t put on any pretenses as she asked, “Can you lend me some Source Crystals and Spirit Pills? I’ll return them to you in the future.”
Yang Kai’s top priority right now was to quickly increase his strength and make preparations in advance, and Sheng Yuzhu naturally had to quickly restore her strength. However, Yang Kai didn’t know if her cultivation had fallen after being trapped for tens of thousands of years, but if she survived a great disaster, she would definitely be blessed. With her willpower and determination, restoring her strength wouldn’t be too difficult.
She spoke so freely that Yang Kai didn’t hesitate to take out an empty Space Ring and store several million high-grade Source Crystals and some Spirit Pills for her.
Sheng Yuzhu thanked him gratefully.
When Yang Kai left the house, he saw Tao Yingruo rushing over.
“Elder.” Tao Yingruo cupped her fists and glanced around the hall, obviously having received some news and had come to take a look.
Yang Kai said, “It’s good that you’ve come Acting Sect Master, I have something to tell you.”
Just as he was about to tell Tao Yingruo about Sheng Yuzhu and let her know that she would be recuperating in Rakshasa Sect in the future, before he could say anything, he heard Sheng Yuzhu’s voice, “Call her in.”
Yang Kai was stunned for a moment before he smiled and said, “Please enter Acting Sect Master. That Senior seems to have something to say to you.”
“Senior…” Tao Yingruo was shocked. In her eyes, Yang Kai was already a high and mighty existence, but Yang Kai still called the other party Senior. Could it be that the person he brought back was a Third-Order Emperor Realm master?
However, according to Ran Yirou and Yu Keren’s report, this person seemed to be unable to move freely, and her aura was also weak, even thin and skinny. How could such a person become Yang Kai’s Senior?
Thinking so, she didn’t dare delay and quickly apologized to Yang Kai before rushing inside.
Yang Kai quietly waited outside.
Ran Yiruo and Yu Keren walked over and knelt down beside him, whispering, “Please forgive us, Elder.” Both of them lowered their heads and looked very pitiful.
Yang Kai looked down at them in surprise, but after thinking about it for a moment, he couldn’t help laughing. These two women were probably afraid that he would blame them for sending a message to Tao Yingruo, but then again, even without them, Yang Kai would still have gone to find Tao Yingruo. After all, this was Rakshasa Sect, so it wasn’t appropriate for him to bring someone back for no reason.
He helped them up and casually comforted them, finally allowing them to relax.
