“It’s just a trivial matter,” Yang Kai said with a smile, “Previously, I had inquired about the situation of Rakshasa Sect, but unfortunately, I didn’t receive any news. Now that Senior has spoken, let them return to High Heaven Palace with me. Senior can rest assured that as long as my High Heaven Palace is not destroyed, they will be safe and sound.”
“Many thanks,” Sheng Yuzhu showed a look of gratitude. Although she knew that Yang Kai would not refuse her request, seeing him agree so readily, she was still a little surprised, knowing that she had not misjudged him.
“Recently, you should rest and recuperate. If the Profound Heaven Temple opens, the winds and clouds will surely gather. At that time, the enemies you will have to face will not just be the Demon Race,” She warned Yang Kai seriously before her figure gradually faded away, as if she had merged into a thin layer of fog, “Take care!”
Yang Kai cupped his hands and said, “Senior, I won’t see you out.”
A moment later, the aura of Sheng Yuzhu completely disappeared.
The dark clouds in the sky dispersed and the moonlight poured down, dyeing the ground with a layer of silver light.
Yang Kai sighed lightly, “I just came out for a while, why are you guys following me? Also, Old Qiong, your hostility is too strong, I can smell it from far away.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a ripple appeared in the void not far away from him and three figures gradually appeared.
“This little brat actually discovered it,” Jiu Feng, who was wearing a fiery red robe, looked at Yang Kai in surprise, “Does he really have the capital of a Pseudo Emperor?”
Qiong Qi frowned, “Is this old master’s hostility very strong?”
Yang Yan pursed her lips and smiled lightly, “It’s not that your hostility are too strong, it’s just that his perception is extremely sharp. His Soul cultivation has probably already surpassed that of a Pseudo Emperor, tsk tsk…”
“Did Army's General Sir send you here?” Yang Kai looked at them and rubbed his head.
As soon as he left High Heaven Palace, he noticed that there were three people following him. Although they had concealed themselves well, how could they escape Yang Kai’s detection? In terms of Soul cultivation alone, Yang Kai had already walked ahead of the three of them, so no matter how they tried to conceal themselves, they would still reveal some traces.
It was precisely because he had noticed that it was the three of them that Yang Kai didn’t point it out. He knew that this should be Li Wuyi’s instructions, but to suddenly send out a veteran Pseudo Emperor and two powerful Holy Spirits to protect his safety, Yang Kai felt both grateful and sad.
“Right now, you’re a Star Boundary hope, there’s no harm in being careful,” Jiu Feng said.
“I understand,” Yang Kai nodded.
“Who was that just now? Why do I feel like I’ve just heard something incredible?” Yang Yan stared in the direction where Sheng Yuzhu had disappeared, her beautiful eyes narrowing. From the information she had gathered, there was actually no such Pseudo Emperor. This was an extremely inconceivable matter. It should be known that the war between the two Worlds had spread throughout the entire world, and there was no longer a pure land in this world. Experts with a little bit of strength would no longer conceal themselves, but it was only today that she discovered that there was actually a Pseudo Emperor in this world she didn’t know about.
Moreover, the conversation between that woman and Yang Kai just now was quite interesting. It seemed that this woman knew a lot about the Profound Heaven Temple.
This was enough to raise everyone’s vigilance. Although from the woman’s attitude just now, she didn’t have any malicious intent towards Yang Kai, to know so many secrets, she was definitely a strong opponent in the future Great Dao competition.
Yang Yan was already considering whether or not she should act first and eliminate her.
Seemingly seeing through Yang Yan’s intentions, Yang Kai explained, “Senior Sheng is someone from Senior Iron Blood's era.”
Three pairs of eyes stared at Yang Kai.
“Are you joking?” Yang Yan asked.
Yang Kai shrugged, “I talked to Sir Iron Blood and he confirmed it.”
“Hiss…” A sharp intake of breath could be heard. If even Zhan Wuhen had confirmed this, it meant that this matter was true. However… there were actually Pseudo Emperors who had lived from that era until now? That was the era of the last Great Dao competition, and it had been sixty or seventy thousand years since then.
How did she survive?
Yang Kai briefly explained the origins of the Sheng Yuzhu and how he had inadvertently discovered her trail and brought her out from the Void Crack.
Yang Yan, Jiu Feng, and the others all sighed as they listened.
“That’s right, that’s why Senior Sheng secretly invited me to this meeting and gave this to me.” Yang Kai waved the jade slip in his hand.
“Investigate carefully, be careful of what others do inside it,” Jiu Feng said seriously.
Yang Kai nodded, “There’s no need to worry about that, I’ve already checked it just now, there’s only some information recorded inside.” He hadn’t had time to investigate the details yet, so he planned to wait until he returned to High Heaven Palace.
“It’s best if there is nothing. In any case, in this current situation, you can’t be too careful.”
Yang Kai asked, “Are you planning to follow me into Profound Heaven Temple?”
Yang Yan smiled, “Even if I go in, the two of them won’t be able to.” She pointed at Jiu Feng and Qiong Qi.
“Why?” Yang Kai was puzzled, “Why can’t they enter?”
Yang Yan replied, “I don’t know the exact reason, but none of the Holy Spirits have participated in the Great Dao Competition. Perhaps because the Holy Spirit has its own Origin Inheritance, as long as it continues to develop its bloodline, it will eventually reach the peak of the Great Dao, so the Profound Heaven Temple will not allow them to enter.”
“Does that mean none of the Holy Spirits can enter?”
Yang Yan nodded, “Yes.”
Hearing this, Yang Kai rubbed his chin. If that was the case, then Wind Chaser definitely wouldn’t be able to enter. Although it was a Demon Territory Demon Beast, it was still a Holy Spirit Body. What about Embodiment? The Embodiment was the body of a Stone Puppet, a descendant of a Holy Spirit, and now it had the source of the Stone Flame…
Thinking about it this way, it was likely that even his Embodiment couldn’t enter, and Liu Yan was the same…
Tsk… With this, his plan had to be changed.
Yang Kai had originally wanted to bring all of his powerful subordinates into the Profound Heaven Temple. His own strength was not weak, and with the addition of Wind Chaser, his Embodiment, Liu Yan, and Qiong Qi, the Demon Race would definitely have a headache, but if the Holy Spirit was unable to enter the Profound Heaven Temple, all of his subordinates would be stuck outside, leaving him alone.
Pondering for a moment, Yang Kai suddenly looked up at the three people in front of him and grinned, “Since we’re out, do you want to stretch your muscles?”
Yang Yan frowned, “What do you want?”
“You’ll know once you follow me,” Yang Kai didn’t explain and instead flew off in a certain direction.
Yang Yan and the others wore helpless expressions as they hurriedly followed.
Two hours later, a shocking battle broke out in the Demon Cave outside Vast Wave City. Yang Kai, Yang Yan, Jiu Feng, and Qiong Qi rushed into the Demon Cave and slaughtered countless Demons. Many of the Demon Race Half-Saints were shocked and angry, but before they could set up a battle formation, Yang Kai and the others had already retreated, leaving behind a trail of mess, causing the Half-Saints guarding the Demon Cave to grit their teeth and curse.
Although they had killed many of the Demon Race’s masters, it was not beneficial to the overall situation. Not a single Half-Saint Demon Race had been injured.
Yang Yan and the others didn’t know what Yang Kai’s intentions were, only thinking that he was under too much pressure and had run out to vent.
After returning to High Heaven Palace, Yang Kai immediately entered a secret room and went into seclusion to investigate the contents of the jade slip that Sheng Yuzhu had given him.
Although Sheng Yuzhu had experienced the Great Dao Competition once, in the end, she had never really participated in it. She only knew a little more about the Profound Heaven Temple than others, but the information she had was limited.
In this world, the only ones who had any understanding of the Profound Heaven Temple were the few Great Emperors, but with so many of them trapped in this strange space, who could contact them?
On the other hand, with the traitor Can Ye on the Demon Race’s side, the information the Half-Saints had was perhaps very comprehensive, far beyond what the Pseudo Emperors of the Star Boundary could compare with.
After Can Ye was injured back then, he hadn’t shown his face, so no one knew where he was hiding to heal his injuries, but since even Sheng Yuzhu could sense that the Profound Heaven Temple was about to open, there was no reason for Can Ye not to notice.
The Demon Race must also be preparing to participate in the Great Dao competition.
There wasn’t much information recorded in the jade slip, Sheng Yuzhu didn’t know anything about the situation inside the Profound Heaven Temple. She only knew that many people would die during the Great Dao Competition. It should be known that the ones who participated were all Pseudo Emperor Realm masters, but only one-third of them managed to survive.
And how many of these people could reach the Great Dao and become Great Emperors depended on the capacity of the World Bottles.
It could be said that every time the Great Dao competition happened, most of the masters who entered would only serve as a backdrop, with only a few of the main characters being blessed by the world.
In the Jade Slip of Sheng Yuzhu, the Profound Heaven Temple was a World Secret Realm. The so-called World Secret Realm was a world created by the world itself. This world had existed since the birth of the world and will be destroyed along with it. The time it would open was uncertain, and it would only open when this world felt it needed to be opened.
In the deepest part of the Profound Heaven Temple, there was a Void Heavenly Cauldron. This Void Heavenly Cauldron was extremely mysterious and had countless opportunities. Only by finding this Void Heavenly Cauldron would one have a chance of becoming a Great Emperor.
“Profound Heaven Temple, Void Heavenly Cauldron…” Yang Kai rubbed his head and frowned, “What to do after finding it?”
Unfortunately, Sheng Yuzhu doesn't know what to do after finding the Void Heavenly Cauldron. Perhaps it was a World Treasure that could be successfully refined, or perhaps the Void Heavenly Cauldron was the ruler of the world…
Although there wasn’t much information in the jade slip, at the very least, these things had given Yang Kai a clear direction so that he wouldn’t be confused when he entered the Profound Heaven Temple.
In this regard, Sheng Yuzhu had helped him greatly.
What’s more, Sheng Yuzhu had also stated in the jade slip that within the Profound Heaven Palace, not only was there the key to becoming a Great Emperor, but there were also many other opportunities. After all, this was a Secret Realm of the world that was born and will be destroyed together with it, and there were countless good things inside. For many generations, as long as one could leave the Profound Heaven Temple alive, their strength would greatly increase.
