There was no need for him to pay any more attention to his Embodiment. Yang Kai opened his eyes and found that the person on duty had been changed, so he immediately called her over and asked her about the Demon Territory’s World Origin.
Unexpectedly, this was no secret at all, making Yang Kai feel like he was making a mountain out of a molehill.
According to Yin, the reason why these Half-Saints were able to surpass ordinary Demon Kings was because they had refined the Origin of the continent. It could be said that every Half-Saint was the true master of a continent.
For example, the Origin of the Blue Plains Continent had long been refined by Yue Sang, and the other main continents were also like this. However, because of the poor tolerance of the Origin, even a Half-Saint could only refine one Origin.
When Lie Kuang joined Yue Sang, the promise he received was that Yue Sang would help him refine the Origin Source of Cloud Shadow Continent. Once Lie Kuang succeeded, he would have a great chance to become a Half-Saint in the future.
This was good news for Yang Kai. He had long ago experienced the benefits of being a master on the Shadowed Star. Now that his Embodiment had become the true master of the Cloud Shadow Continent, it would receive the approval and protection of the world on this continent. It could be said that the road to becoming a Half-Saint was laid out in front of it. As long as he accumulated enough strength, he would definitely become a Half-Saint.
On this trip to the Demon Territory, he hadn’t accomplished any proper business and hadn’t obtained much benefits. Instead, he had given his Embodiment a bright future, allowing him to benefit from the unexpected.
Seeing Yang Kai ask such a question, Yin obviously misunderstood something and hesitated for a moment before saying, “Great King is a human, and the power he cultivates is different from ours. I’m afraid it will be difficult for him to refine the Origin Source. Moreover, Lie Kuang has been searching for the Cloud Shadow Source for many years, but he hasn’t found anything. If it wasn’t for this continent’s blessing, it would be impossible to refine it.”
Yang Kai chuckled, “I was just asking.”
Yin stepped back, somewhat skeptical.
For the next few days, nothing happened. After eight days, there was a sudden change in the Myriad Demon Cave. The entire Myriad Demon Cave was in a state of unrest, and the World Energy that had been swallowed earlier began to violently rush outwards, causing the wave of World Energy to soar into the sky. It was as if there was a rain of World Energy within a hundred kilometer radius.
Lao Ke and the others also woke up from their cultivation and gathered around Yang Kai excitedly.
Such a scene meant that the Myriad Demon Pill was about to form and could be collected.
Sure enough, half a day later, when everything had calmed down, there was no longer any movement from Myriad Demon Cave.
Lao Ke cupped his hands and said, “Great King, the Myriad Demon Pill has already taken shape, so I ask Great King to pick it.”
Yang Kai nodded lightly and led Lao Ke and the other two forward. At the same time he entered the Myriad Demon Cave, Yang Kai’s Embodiment also quietly escaped. The Cloud Shadow Continent Origin Source had already been refined by it, and now it was the true master of this continent. With a single thought, it could go anywhere it wanted, so naturally it would not reveal any flaws.
This wasn’t the first time Yang Kai had entered Myriad Demon Cave, when his Embodiment had entered, his Divine Sense had been following it closely, so naturally he was familiar with this place.
After walking for a while, they arrived in front of a cave wall. On the wall was something that looked like a tumor. This was what the Embodiment had seen before.
Lao Ke pointed at the lump-like tumor and said, “Great King, the Myriad Demon Pill is inside, it can be picked with a light touch.” He also knew that Yang Kai didn’t understand these things, so he explained.
Only now did Yang Kai understand what these strange tumors were for. So the Myriad Demon Pill was born here.
Without hesitation, Yang Kai stretched out his hand and touched the tumor. As soon as his hand touched it, it blossomed like a flower and a Myriad Demon Pill the size of a an eye fell to the ground.
Yang Kai stretched out his hand and took the pill into his palm. After taking a closer look, his brow rose.
The surrounding three pairs of eyes stared at him.
Lao Ke suddenly exclaimed, “Why does the Myriad Demon Pill this time feel smaller than before?”
It wasn’t just a bit small, it was simply a bit smaller. The other Demon Kings also noticed this and immediately showed a suspicious look. In the past, they had collected a number of Myriad Demon Pills, and although each one was different in size, they were basically the same. This situation had never happened before, so this small size was too obvious.
As soon as Yang Kai heard this, he knew what the problem was. It must be because the World Energy that his Embodiment had absorbed was too much, causing the Myriad Demon Pill’s formation to be slightly affected. If that was the case, it was likely that there was more than one pill like this.
However, they didn’t say anything. In any case, Lao Ke and the others didn’t know the reason, so he simply said, “All of you, collect the Myriad Demon Pills.”
He was just trying his luck, so naturally he wouldn’t really pick up every single Myriad Demon Pill.
After receiving the order, Lao Ke and the others immediately entered the Myriad Demon Cave.
After less than half an hour, Lao Ke and the others returned, their faces filled with shock as they handed a Space Ring to Yang Kai and said, “Great King, we only collected sixty-seven Myriad Demon Pills this time…”
“67?” Yang Kai pretended to be surprised.
Lao Ke’s forehead was covered in sweat as he said somewhat guiltily, “I don’t know what’s going on, but the output this time seems to be a bit off. Not only is it much smaller in size than I expected, but it’s also smaller in number.”
Ke Sen and Yin also nodded.
Seeing Yang Kai look at him, Lao Ke immediately said, “Great King, this subordinate is willing to swear in the name of Great Demon God that there is absolutely no mistake. All of the Myriad Demon Pills collected this time are here.” He thought that Yang Kai was suspecting that he had taken advantage of him and quickly explained.
Although Yang Kai knew the reason and understood that it was impossible for him to lie, he still looked at Ke Sen and Yin with a gloomy expression, making these two hurriedly swear in the name of Great Demon God, lest Yang Kai misunderstand.
Yang Kai nodded and said, “It seems there really was some kind of accident. Can you guess why?”
Lao Ke and the other two looked at each other and shook their heads repeatedly. They were also quite puzzled. The momentum of the Myriad Demon Cave was obviously quite impressive, and Lao Ke had estimated that it could produce at least seventy or eighty or even a hundred pills, but in reality, the number of pills it had harvested was far from what he had expected.
“Forget it,” Yang Kai pretended to be generous and waved his hand, “Sixty-seven it is.”
Pausing for a moment, he asked again, “After collecting the Myriad Demon Pills, how should we distribute them?”
Lao Ke replied, “In the past, when we were in charge of collecting these pills, we would all offer them to the Saint Venerable, and the Saint Venerable would bestow a few of them as a reward. The several High-Rank Demon Kings like us could receive one or two of these pills, while the rest of the Mid-Rank and Low-Rank Demon Kings would be rewarded with some Demon Crystals based on their cultivation. Later, when Lie Kuang collected them, we had nothing to do with them.”
Yang Kai nodded and took out six Myriad Demon Pills from his Space Ring, giving each of them two, “As for the other rewards, you can decide for yourselves.”
Lao Ke and the others were overjoyed. They had thought that with such a small harvest this time, they wouldn’t be able to get their hands on the Myriad Demon Pills, but who would have thought that Yang Kai would actually reward them with two pills each? This was simply a show of great kindness, so all of them quickly thanked Yang Kai, all of them beaming with joy.
Ke Sen said, “Great King, the Myriad Demon Pills on Cloud Shadow’s side have been collected, and Blue Plains side should be arriving soon. Should this subordinate go down and take a look?”
Yang Kai pondered for a moment before nodding, “Very well, when the time comes, bring me the Myriad Demon Pills you collected.” Although he had branded Tu Qialuo and the others with his Soul Brand and he was now in control of their lives, who knew if they would secretly seize them.
It was one thing for him to reward them, but it was another matter if they pocket it themselves. With Ke Sen watching over them, Tu Qialuo and the others probably didn’t have the courage to do so.
As for the matter of giving it to the Saint Venerable, Yang Kai had already ignored it, Yu Rumeng probably wouldn’t mind.
“Yes,” Ke Sen cupped his hands.
After collecting the Myriad Demon Pills, Yang Kai naturally had to return to the World Gate.
After such a long time, he only had a vague idea of how to maintain the World Gate and had not made any substantial progress.
On the other hand, after returning this time, he had made rapid progress.
The main reason was that his Embodiment had refined the Cloud Shadow Origin and become the master of this continent. With the help of his Embodiment, Yang Kai was able to easily see through the reason for the World Gate’s instability: the assimilation of the World Laws!
Just like how after Yang Kai tore open space, the Space Crack would quickly disappear, the World Laws would naturally repair the flaws in this world, restoring everything to its original state, including the World Gate.
However, the World Gate was simply too large, so even if the World Laws wanted to assimilate it, it wouldn’t be easy. If it was a stable World Gate, it naturally wouldn’t be like this, but once something went wrong, it would be assimilated by the World Laws within a limited period of time and return to nothingness.
Since he had found the reason, it wouldn’t be difficult to resolve it.
After trying for a long time, Yang Kai finally found a reliable solution. With his attainments in the Space Laws, he was able to eliminate the World Gate’s influence and stabilize it.
However, this method only treated the symptoms and not the root of the problem. Perhaps this World Gate would stabilize for a few years, but it definitely wouldn’t last long. Yang Kai estimated that within a thousand years, it would have another problem. If he wanted to completely resolve this problem, his attainments in the Space Laws would have to take a step further.
However, Yang Kai couldn’t care less about what would happen a thousand years later. If it weren’t for his Embodiment refining the Origin Source of this continent, he wouldn’t have paid so much attention to this matter.
After this World Gate stabilized, Yang Kai didn’t remain idle. Since he had already done so, he might as well restore the other World Gates that had disappeared, in case Yue Sang really returned from the Two World Battlefield one day and he was trapped in the Cloud Shadow Continent.
As long as he could restore the other World Gates, even if Yue Sang returned, he could escape from them.
The other World Gates had long since disappeared, so restoring them wasn’t an easy task. Fortunately, Yang Kai already had some experience, so even if it was a bit troublesome, it wouldn’t change much.
This time, there was no need to seal the World Gates. Even Lao Ke and the others had been sent back by him to the place where the World Gates had disappeared.
