Two hours later, Yang Kai walked out of the pit and walked forward.
Xi Lei stood at the back and watched quietly until Yang Kai’s figure disappeared before sighing.
The deeper he went into this forbidden canyon, the greater the pressure he felt. This place was already the limit of what he could reach with his power, otherwise, it would be impossible for it to temper him. If he continued forward, he would not be able to bear it.
On the other hand, Yang Kai had just taken a leisurely stroll and left him without a trace. Just how heaven-defying was his physical body… Xi Lei let out a long sigh in his heart, his heart filled with bitterness. He was a Monster King after all, yet he had been defeated by a mere human. With a furious roar, he rushed out of the pit and revealed his true form, continuing to receive the baptism of the stellar astral winds.
In the depths of the canyon, Yang Kai’s body was constantly bleeding, and there was not a single part of his body that was intact, but the wounds were quickly healing under his powerful regenerative ability. The cycle of healing was quite helpful to him, but the results were minimal.
As he went deeper, the surrounding cliffs were no longer filled with craters. He estimated that since the establishment of Plain Palace, no one had ever reached such a deep place, so it was naturally impossible for any craters to appear.
After walking for another incense stick’s worth of time, he arrived at the end of the canyon, where a strange spatial fluctuation suddenly appeared.
Yang Kai’s heart skipped a beat as he looked up and saw that a thousand meters away, in the air at the end of the canyon, there was a ten-meter long Space Crack in the sky, like a scar that would never heal.
From the Space Crack, terrifying astral winds constantly blew, pushing forward along the canyon.
Yang Kai revealed a look of enlightenment, only now understanding where the stellar astral winds in this canyon’s forbidden area came from. It was all from this space crack. The world had its own laws that could repair itself. For example, if Yang Kai tore open space, it wouldn’t take long for the torn space to restore itself.
However, this Space Crack in front of him had existed for countless years and was connected to an unknown place. Stellar Astral winds constantly surged out from it, and even the World Laws were unable to repair it in time, allowing this Space Crack to be maintained for a long time.
This scene caused Yang Kai to click his tongue in wonder as a sense of eagerness welled up from the depths of his heart. He really wanted to know where the Space Crack connected to and why stellar astral winds had been generated for so many years.
As soon as he thought of this, his Space Laws fluctuated wildly, and he immediately flashed over to the Space Crack before diving into it without hesitation.
Three breaths later, Yang Kai rushed out and transformed into a bloody gourd, his blood spraying into the sky as he retreated several thousand meters before he could escape the sense of crisis. Turning back to look at the spatial crack, he felt a lingering fear mixed with an inexplicable sense of excitement.
When he had rushed into the Void Crack just now, he had discovered that he had arrived in a Void Crack, but the Void Crack was filled with a massive amount of stellar astral winds. The power of these stellar astral winds was not something the canyon could compare with. If he hadn’t made a prompt decision to withdraw, he would have been reduced to a skeleton by these astral winds. At that time, no matter how strong his physical body was, he would have died on the spot.
Although it was just a glimpse, Yang Kai could feel an unusual aura from the Void Crack. It was an aura that could destroy all things and seemed to be the source of the stellar astral winds.
The Plain Palace had been established for tens of thousands of years, and since the beginning of its establishment, this stellar astral wind had existed, constantly blowing through the canyon’s forbidden area. However, all things had a source, and this stellar astral wind was the same, so it was impossible for it to continue blowing for tens of thousands of years.
The source was hidden in the void.
Unfortunately, Yang Kai didn’t even know what it was, let alone take it out. However, it was undeniable that it was an incredible artifact, perhaps one that even Great Emperors feared.
Yang Kai’s heart began to stir as he carefully weighed his current strength before reluctantly turning around and leaving. Right now, he still wasn’t strong enough to take this treasure for himself. Perhaps he would have to wait a while longer until his cultivation soared.
Not long after, he returned to Xi Lei Cultivation Area, and when they met again, Xi Lei was shocked, “Sir, what’s wrong?”
At this moment, Yang Kai’s appearance was quite miserable. The golden blood all over his body had dried up, as if he had put on a layer of golden armor. Even his aura was somewhat weak and he was obviously injured.
Yang Kai sniffed and said, “There was an accident, it was too dangerous inside, so the Monster King should entered cautiously.” Finished speaking, he flashed into the nearby pit and began to adjust his breathing.
Xi Lei’s expression became solemn, not suspecting anything. Even Yang Kai had suffered such a great loss inside, let alone him. With this warning, he would not dare to go too deep in the future.
Half a day later, Yang Kai walked out of the pit, changed into a clean set of clothes, bid farewell to Xi Lei, and left the canyon.
After meeting Hua Qingsi and Nanmen Dajun again, Yang Kai chose a suitable place to set up a Space Array in the Plain Palace. Nanmen Dajun enthusiastically helped him out, even putting aside his own matters.
The reason why Nanmen Dajun had chosen to remain in High Heaven Palace was because he had witnessed Yang Kai’s amazing Space Arrays and wanted to learn a thing or two from him. Unfortunately, although Yang Kai had mastered all the basic methods to arrange a Space Array, he was still unable to create a decent Space Array.
After studying it for so many years, he discovered that he had fallen into a huge pit. Only those who were proficient in the Space Laws would be able to create Space Arrays with the charm they deserved, allowing them to be of use.
However, this didn’t stop him from learning other things from it. The Great Dao of the world could be comprehended in one way or another. An Array Grandmaster like Nanmen Dajun could easily infer some useful information from it.
With his help, it was extremely easy to arrange the Space Array, because this place would eventually become High Heaven Palace’s branch in the Southern Domain, and fifty thousand disciples would migrate here, so the Space Array would definitely not be small. Yang Kai spent a large amount of Space Spirit Crystals and Space Spirit Jades to arrange a large-scale Array that could transport hundreds of people at once.
After a day of work, Yang Kai adjusted the Space Arrays here and connected them with the other Space Arrays before bidding Hua Qingsi and Nanmen Dajun farewell.
When Yang Kai appeared again, he had already arrived at the Wild Ancient Land.
Walking out of the small tree house, Yang Kai went to pay his respects to the Elder and the Wood Spirit Patriarch, Mu Na, and thanked them for their assistance last time. At the same time, he also brought many gifts for the two clans.
During the battle of the Plain Palace, the Stone Puppet and Wood Spirit Race had contributed greatly. It was they who had first opened the gap in the Demonic Consciousness and controlled the Demon Race cultivators who had been possessed by the Demonic Consciousness. At the last moment, the Wood Spirit Race had used their race’s Secret Technique to suppress the Demonic Qi in the bodies of the ten thousand Demon Race cultivators, creating a huge space for Yang Kai to use his Demon Expelling Technique to save many of the Southern Domain’s elites.
The two races were a race that stood aloof from worldly affairs. If it weren’t for Yang Kai’s request, it was likely they wouldn’t have easily left their home and participated in so many disputes. Naturally, Yang Kai would remember this favor.
After chatting for a while, Yang Kai returned to the main topic, “Elder, your knowledge is vast, I want to ask you about someone.”
The Elder smiled and said, “It’s just that I’ve lived for a long time. Who do you want to inquire about?”
“Elder, have you heard of the name ‘Sheng Yuzhu’?” Yang Kai naturally didn’t want to ask about the origins of Sheng Yuzhu in the Wild Ancient Land, it was just convenient. Although he didn’t think that Sheng Yuzhu was some kind of heinous villain, it wasn’t wrong to be a bit more careful. After all, Sheng Yuzhu had promised him some things, learning more about that woman would make it easier to cooperate in the future.
The Stone Puppet Clan had a long lifespan, especially its Elder. It could be said that he was the Knowledge of the Star Boundary, so Yang Kai naturally had to ask them.
“Sheng Yuzhu?” The Elder muttered before slowly shaking his head, “I’ve never heard of it.”
“Even Elder has never heard of it?” Yang Kai was stunned.
The Elder said, “This is a very special name. If I had heard it before, I would naturally remember it. I don’t know what is so special about her that you care so much about her.”
Yang Kai sighed, “The situation is like this…”
Immediately, he briefly explained what he had seen in Rakshasa Sect, but he didn’t say anything about Sheng Yuzhu's promise to him. Even so, the Elder and Mu Na were stunned.
The Elder exclaimed, “There is actually such a character in this world!”
Mu Na also stretched out her hand to cover her mouth as she exclaimed, “Living alone in the Void Crack for tens of thousands of years, how shocking is this?” She paused for a moment before continuing, “She’s really pitiful…”
Yang Kai nodded, “I was also shocked, so I wanted to ask the Elder.”
The Elder shook his head, “I have never heard of this person’s name before.”
A strange light flashed across Yang Kai’s eyes, “Does Elder mean that her origins are somewhat strange?”
The Elder replied, “That’s not the case. Although I’ve lived for a long time, I don’t know everything, especially tens of thousands of years ago when my Stone Puppet Clan began living in seclusion in the Wild Ancient Land. I don’t know much about the struggle for the Great Dao and only heard a few rumors from time to time. I don’t even know who was involved at that time, but since she mentioned the names of several Great Emperors in succession, her identity shouldn’t be fake. Perhaps she really was a character from that era. In your opinion, is she good or evil?”
Yang Kai shook his head, “I don’t feel any malice.”
The Elder smiled, “Then it’s nothing. She has been trapped there for tens of thousands of years, so how much of her cultivation can she have left? Even if she’s an evil person, she’s still not a Great Emperor. If she really dares to go out and commit crimes, wouldn’t she be punished by others?”
Yang Kai nodded and said, “It was precisely because I had such considerations that I chose to bring her out. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have dared to act in such a manner, I would have to ask around first.”
