Refining the Space Spirit Bead wasn’t too difficult. As long as one had enough Space Spirit Jades, whether it was Yang Kai or Li Wuyi, they could refine it in large quantities. Yang Kai had refined a lot of Space Spirit Jades in the Demon Territory before and had scattered them across the various continents. This time, he had escaped from the Demon Territory back to the Star Boundary, but thanks to his previous deployment, he had saved a lot of time.
However, although the Space Spirit Bead was convenient, it also had many unavoidable drawbacks. One of these drawbacks was that it need a pair, a single Space Spirit Bead was useless. Only a pair of Space Spirit Beads could connect to each other. This was why the Seven Mist Sea had hundreds of people in charge of collecting intelligence, each of them having a large number of Space Spirit Beads.
Han Zheng Qing had two Space Spirit Beads on him, one to contact the Seven Mist Sea and the other to contact the Beast Military Guard.
The second drawback of the Space Spirit Bead was even more obvious. Anyone could use it. There was no need to cultivate Space Force, no need to be proficient in Space Laws, only needing to stimulate one’s own cultivation to activate it.
As such, problems began to arise.
Once the Space Spirit Bead was seized by the Demon Race, the Demon Race would be able to use the Space Spirit Bead to cross through space and instantly arrive at the Seven Mist Sea. Even if that wasn’t the case, they could still use the Space Spirit Bead to transmit some false information and divert the attention of the Star Boundary’s forces to launch a surprise attack on one of the Beast Military Guard.
In recent years, there had been a lot of Space Spirit Beads lost outside.
At the beginning, the Demon Race had indeed used the flaws of the Space Spirit Bead to do some things, causing the Star Boundary to suffer a great loss.
However, Li Wuyi was still Li Wuyi, so when he noticed this, he immediately changed his mind about the Space Spirit Bead. All the Space Spirit Beads he sent out were specially refined. Take the two Space Spirit Beads Han Zheng Qing carried with him for example, the one connected to the Seven Mist Sea could only be used as a transmission jade slip, unable to allow a living person to teleport. As for the one connected to the Beast Military Guard, it had completely lost its ability to teleport. It was just like a Space Beacon that was constantly moving along with Han Zheng Qing, one-sidedly receiving the Beast Military Guard’s teleportation.
With the addition of various encryption methods and decryption methods, the unrest caused by the Space Spirit Bead gradually subsided.
In recent years, the existence of the Space Spirit Bead had become a great weapon in the Star Boundary. Information from all sides could be transmitted to the Seven Mist Sea at any time, and Beast Military Guards could also be deployed at any time to rescue those isolated teams, greatly reducing the losses on the Star World’s side.
Logically speaking, Han Zheng Qing’s group needed the Beast Military Guards to rescue them, but since Yang Kai had appeared and Li Wuyi couldn’t send more people, this matter was naturally handed over to Yang Kai.
Just as Li Wuyi had said, how could a mere ten thousand people possibly block Yang Kai’s path?
Along the way, Yang Kai gradually gained a basic understanding of the Star Boundary’s situation and couldn’t help sighing.
War allowed people to grow, war allowed the entire world to grow!
Each of the fifty-four legions represented an army of a million. At the very least, they were led by a Third-Order Emperor Realm master with dozens of Emperor Realm under his command. Yang Kai had never imagined that the Star Boundary would have such strength.
He had been in the Star Boundary for quite some time and had traveled extensively, so he was quite knowledgeable, but now it seemed that the Star Boundary he had seen was just the tip of the iceberg. This was the bearing of a Star Boundary, the foundation of a Great World.
It wasn’t difficult to imagine that many of these Emperor Realms were extraordinary masters, reclusive masters. The smoke of war swept across the entire Star Boundary, and these reclusive masters all left their hiding places and joined the Star Boundary army, gathering sand to form a pagoda that flowed into the sea.
“What is the Demonic Heavenly Dao?” Yang Kai suddenly remembered something and asked.
As soon as these words came out, Fan Xin’s face sank slightly, revealing a look of disdain, “A bunch of trash and scum!”
When Yang Kai had first appeared in front of Han Zheng Qing and the others, Han Zheng Qing had looked at Yang Kai and shouted out the words “Demonic Heavenly Dao”. At that time, Yang Kai had not asked about it in detail. After all, at that time, his identity had been a problem, so no matter what he asked, it was useless. Now that he thought about it, he naturally wanted to inquire about it.
However, although he didn’t know what this Demonic Heaavenly Dao was, Yang Kai had a vague guess that it was related to the Demon Race. Now that he saw Fan Xin’s reaction, he knew that his guess was correct. Fan Xin’s personality was quite good, and she was also a woman, but when Yang Kai asked her about the Demonic Heavenly Dao, she didn’t even hesitate to give him the evaluation of scum and trash. It was obvious that this Demonic Heavenly Dao was a hateful existence.
Demonic Heavenly Dao was a group of people who had only appeared in the Star Boudnary a few years ago and was also a group of forces.
The source was Shadow Killer Palace in the West Territory.
Before the war between the two worlds broke out, Shadow Kilelr Palace had been secretly preparing for the invasion of the Demon Race and had even recruited many people to hide in various parts of the Star Boundary, many of whom were even Pseudo Emperors.
Back then, the capture of Yao Lin, Li Shiqing, and the others was all caused by the Demonic Heavenly Dao. However, at that time, the Demonic Heavenly Dao was not called the Demonic Heavenly Dao.
The war between the two worlds broke out and the Demon Territory advanced rapidly. In just three years, the entire Western Region had almost fallen and the Star Boundary had lost a large portion of its territory. Countless lives had been lost and the Western Region had almost become a paradise for the Demon Race.
At that time, the Star Boundary’s various armies were preparing for reconstruction, and the use of the Space Spirit Bead was not as widespread as it was now. If the Great Emperor didn’t take action, the momentum of the Demon Race would be unstoppable.
Under the threat of external threats and internal troubles, the Demonic Heavenly Dao appeared and its influence grew like a snowball.
Not everyone had the resolve to live and die together with the Star Boundary. When the Star Boundary was at peace, Shadow Killer Palace had been able to recruit many people to assist them, not to mention when the Demon Race was growing stronger, there were naturally those who were afraid of death and those who wanted to live a life worse than death who were willing to submit to the Demonic Heavenly Dao and become the Demon Race’s minions.
The Master of the Demonic Heavenly Dao was the Palace Master of Shadow Killer Palace, Great Emperor Night Shadow!
His subordinates were as numerous as the clouds, and there were as many as four Pseudo Emperors. They were known as the Four Great Monarch Envoys, each of them possessing extraordinary cultivation.
“The people of Demonic Heavenly Dao have all received Demonic Qi Empowerment, when their temperament changes, their strength also increases. What’s even more hateful is that these people usually hide in the Star Boundary, looking no different from ordinary people on the outside, and even when they fight, they don’t reveal anything. Unless one uses their strength to probe their bodies or actively expel the Demonic Qi, it’s very difficult to tell if they are from Demonic Heaavenly Dao or not,” Fan Xin sighed, “After five years of war, the Star Boundary is growing, and so is the Demon Race. Because of Demonic Heavenly Dao, the Star Boundary has suffered great losses.”
It was precisely because of the existence of this group of people from Demonic Heavenly Dao that when Han Zheng Qing and Liu Youwei had met, they had shaken hands and probed each other to confirm that the other party had not been possessed.
Compared to the invasion of the Demon Race, the group of traitors from Demonic Heavenly Dao made the people of the Star Boundary hate them even more because they were truly too well hidden, able to access information that the Demon Race couldn’t, able to accomplish things the Demon Race couldn’t.
Fan Xin couldn’t understand why there was such a group of people in this world, as if they wanted the world to be in chaos. The situation in the Star Boundary was already bad enough, but if these people didn’t want to protect their world, why did they want to collude with the Demon Race?
Similarly, it was because of the existence of the Demonic Heavenly Dao that Han Zheng Qing was so vigilant when Yang Kai’s Demonic Qi appeared. In his opinion, the Demonic Heavenly Dao was the Demonic Heavenly Dao, so even if he killed some Demon Race masters, it would not change his identity as a traitor.
As the two of them were talking, Yang Kai suddenly looked up in a certain direction and smiled lightly. His actions weren’t obvious, so Fan Xin, who was explaining the situation in the Star Boundary to him, didn’t notice.
However, a moment later, Fan Xin also raised her head and looked ahead because Han Zheng Qing had suddenly left the group and was flying towards them.
When he arrived, he stopped and stared at Yang Kai with a solemn expression.
Yang Kai’s eyes were clear and his lips curled into a smile.
Seemingly sensing that the atmosphere was a bit off, Fan Xin opened her mouth and was about to say something, but Han Zheng Qing stopped her.
“Palace Master Yang, this Han will only ask one question,” Han Zheng Qing’s voice was low, “Are you a friend or foe?”
Previously, when he had transmitted message to the Seven Mist Sea, he had said that he had encountered the traitor Yang Kai along the way and had reported what had happened to him in detail, but after waiting for a long time, he hadn’t received any response from the Seven Mist Sea. Now, he couldn’t wait any longer and could only come here to ask.
Yang Kai didn’t answer, only taking out a Space Spirit Bead and saying, “This one in my hand is a Space Spirit Bead connected to Senior Li Wuyi.” He then took out another and said, “This one is the one connected to Commander Yang Yan.”
From his conversation with Fan Xin, he learned that Yang Yan was now the Commander of the Army and was a famous character across the entire Star Boundary.
Hearing this, Han Zheng Qing’s eyes flashed and he stretched out his hand, “Can you let this Han see?”
Yang Kai casually tossed the two Space Spirit Beads over to Han Zheng Qing, who caught them and used his Divine Sense and Emperor Qi to carefully examine them.
Originally, with his current cultivation, he wouldn’t be able to discover anything, but since he had the Space Spirit Bead in his possession, he wasn’t too unfamiliar with it, so he was able to pick up some clues.
This was especially true for the Space Spirit Bead that was connected to Li Wuyi. There were indeed residual energy fluctuations from Li Wuyi’s Space Spirit Bead, and Han Zheng Qing had both of them in his hand, so he could not be mistaken.
A moment later, he returned the two Space Spirit Beads to Yang Kai, his expression becoming much more relaxed as he cupped his fists and said, “Just now, a Demon Race scout was investigating our situation. I’m afraid our location has been exposed, so it won’t be long before we encounter the Demon Race’s army. This Han wishes to ask Palace Master Yang to lend us a hand.”
Since Yang Kai had the Space Spirit Bead he had contacted Li Wuyi with, there was no problem with his identity, otherwise, Li Wuyi would be able to kill him here in a moment.
It was true that the General Army Manager Li was occupied with military affairs, but when it came to this High Heaven Palace Master, it was impossible for him to be careless.
Since he hadn’t come here, it meant Yang Kai was trustworthy.
Since Li Wuyi felt he could be trusted, Han Zheng Qing naturally had nothing to say.
