In other words, it would take at least a hundred years for the Star Boundary's Spiritual Energy to completely recover. It was truly worthy of being called a World Secret Realm, the price to open it was truly enormous.
At the same time, in the various Star Boundary army bases, figures exuding powerful auras emerged from their respective retreats and looked up with excited eyes.
When the millions of light rays disappeared, a real hall appeared in everyone’s vision. This hall was no different from the illusory image they had seen before, but when it fully condensed, it gave off a great pressure, as if they were not facing a hall but the entire world.
Crack…
A loud bang rang out as a thick door slowly opened in front of the hall. The inside of the door was dark, leading to an unknown world.
The door was like the eye of heaven and earth, overlooking all living things, making all living things seem as insignificant as ants before it.
A resounding dragon roar rang out as two figures soared into the sky, one azure and one white. The two Dragon Race Great Elders immediately took action, transforming into two giant dragons that flew towards the Profound Heaven Temple.
At the same time, in the Star Soul Palace of the Southern Domain, with Xue Li in the lead, the three Demon Saints also rushed towards Profound Heaven Palace.
The opening of the Profound Heaven Temple had come without any warning, and even Zhu Yan, Xue Li, and the others were caught off guard. Now that they had noticed it, none of them wanted to fall behind.
Although they would not enter the Profound Heaven Temple and there was no need for them to do so, this time it was the gathering of the Human and Demon Race’s masters, so they had to protect their respective factions.
Although each of them was clearly quite far from the Profound Heaven Temple, when they flew over, they were surprised to find that they had arrived in front of it in less than half a cup of tea.
Standing high up in the sky in front of the Profound Heaven Temple, the two Dragon Clan Elders and the three Demon Saints stared at each other coldly, sparks flying in the air.
With a buzz, a jade slip appeared in front of Yang Kai.
Yang Kai stretched out his hand to catch it, and after probing it with his Divine Sense, he discovered that it was a message from Li Wuyi. Looking up at the sky, he realized that it was time to move. Although the opening of the Profound Heaven Temple was much earlier than he had expected, he had already prepared everything he needed, so there was no need to delay.
Taking a step forward, Yang Kai felt as if there was an invisible staircase beneath his feet. With every step he took, his figure flickered.
Seemingly sensing something, Yang Kai looked down and saw countless High Heaven Palace and many other armies’s soldiers staring at him from the various Spirit Peaks of High Heaven Palace. On one of these Spirit Peaks, his parents, Su Yan, Xia Ningchang, Xue Yue, Shan Qingluo, Zhu Qing, and the others all stared at him, their eyes filled with worry and unwillingness. Dong Suzhu gently sobbed as she was embraced by Fourth Master Yang, her shoulders trembling.
Suddenly, the voices of the hundred thousand High Heaven Palace disciples shook the world, “I wish Palace Master a successful victory and success!”
“I wish Palace Master a successful victory and success, and rise to the Great Emperor!”
Luo'er cupped her hands around her mouth and shouted with added Emperor Qi, “Come back soon, we’ll be waiting for you.”
Yang Kai smiled and waved towards the crowd before taking another step forward and disappearing.
On this trip, he would shoulder the responsibility of the Star Boundary’s survival. On this trip, he would go all out to kill powerful enemies, and on the day he returned, he would either die on horseback or rule the world!
As Yang Kai moved, jade slips appeared out of thin air from the various armies of the Star Boundary. The Pseudo Emperors who had obtained the qualifications to participate in the Great Dao Competition in the Profound Heaven Temple all flew up into the sky.
Figures and streams of light gathered from all directions.
No matter where they set out from, no matter how far away they were from the Profound Heaven Palace, it would only take them a cup of tea time to reach their destination. This Profound Heaven Palace seemed to be both far away and right in front of them. Just this layer of mystery was difficult to grasp.
Yang Kai was the first to arrive, so Zhu Yan and Fu Zhun both nodded slightly at him. With all the billions of people in the world paying attention to them, they couldn’t show too much humility, even if they had already decided that Yang Kai was the Dragon God of the Dragon Race.
Shua, shua, shua... one figure after another appeared. In a short time, the thirty Pseudo Emperors from the Star Boundary had all gathered here. When they arrived, they all bowed respectfully to the two Dragon Race Elders before turning to look at Yang Kai in surprise.
Just as Yang Kai had not intended to participate in this Great Dao Competition from the start, many of the Pseudo Emperors had not expected Yang Kai to appear here. After all, he was only equivalent to a Third-Order Emperor Realm.
However, thinking back that he won Bright Moon's legacy and how he had gained the approval of the World Will, they felt relieved.
Aside from the two Dragon Race Great Elders, there were a total of thirty-one people from the Star Boundary, including Yang Kai.
“Elders, I have something I don’t understand.” Among the crowd, someone suddenly stepped forward.
Yang Kai looked towards the source of the voice and found that the person who had spoken was not a stranger to him, but someone who had once had a conflict with him. It could even be said that this person had a deep hatred for him!
Since he had appeared here, it meant that he had obtained the qualifications to participate in the Great Dao Competition, so his luck was quite good. However, as he spoke, he glanced at Yang Kai intentionally or unintentionally, and Yang Kai immediately understood that this guy was going to make things difficult for him.
He sighed in his heart. The grievances from a long time ago had been caused by him allowing Wu Heng to swallow his Heng Luo Star Field. After that, this guy had coveted the Mysterious Boundary Bead, but in the end, he was beaten up by Qiong Qi outside the Eastern Region Heavenly Wolf Valley.
The war between the two worlds had erupted, and Cang Mo’s cultivation was quite high. He had become the Commander of Jia Xin Army and killed the Demon Race, earning him many merits.
Normally, Yang Kai wouldn’t have let him off so easily. He hadn’t had much contact with Cang Mo, but he had a bad feeling about him. But now that it was a war, Yang Kai didn’t want to break the rules of the Star Boundary for his personal grievances.
Therefore, over the years, even though he and Cang Mo didn’t like each other, they had lived in harmony, leading their respective armies to fight the Demon Race.
Unfortunately, even if he didn’t want to cause any trouble, but it seemed the other party didn’t think so.
“What is it?” Zhu Yan turned to look at him.
“Sir, before this, my fellow comrades had decided on a lot of candidates to enter the Profound Heaven Temple. As far as I know, the Commander of Sixth Stem Army, Sir Yang, didn’t participate. What is he doing here?”
Yang Kai grinned at him, “Whatever you want to do, I’ll do.”
“What qualifications do you have?” Cang Mo’s face went cold, “Sir Yang is only a High-Rank Demon King now, right? If you want to participate in the Great Dao Competition, I’m afraid you’ll need to go back and train hard for several hundred years.”
“Whether I’m qualified or not is not up to you to decide,” Yang Kai chuckled and pointed towards the sky, “You’ll have to ask it first.”
Cang Mo ignored him and simply looked at Zhu Yan, saying in a low voice, “Sir, the previous plan was carried out under the impartiality of the two Sirs, and we have no complaints. Those who can stand here are all people blessed by the Heavens. Since Sir Yang did not participate, how could he have entered? If that’s the case, I’m afraid the hearts of those who are still watching from below will become cold. Sir, please allow him to leave, lest he stir up trouble.”
As soon as these words came out, many people revealed thoughtful expressions. Although none of them wanted to create more trouble at this time, Cang Mo’s words weren’t without reason. If Yang Kai really entered the Profound Heaven Temple, what would those Pseudo Emperors who didn’t have the qualifications and were willing to give up this opportunity to guard the Star Boundary think?
Not to mention whether Yang Kai could enter the Profound Heaven Temple with his Demon King Realm cultivation, even if he could, he would not have the qualifications.
“Yang Kai’s qualifications are mine, I won’t be entering the Profound Heaven Temple this time,” Li Wuyi suddenly said.
Hearing this, everyone was startled and turned to look at him. Someone shouted, “Army's General Sir, what is the meaning of this?”
Li Wuyi smiled lightly, “It’s exactly what you heard. The qualifications for me to enter the Profound Heaven Temple will be transferred to Yang Kai, so he will have the qualifications to enter.”
Although it was a lot-drawing method, the Dragon Race’s two Great Elders could easily tamper with it. Those who needed to enter the Profound Heaven Temple would naturally be eligible, and Li Wuyi would naturally be one of them. The rest would be up to luck.
“Sir, you must not allow it.”
“Army's General Sir, please reconsider!”
“This… this…”
Most of the people present began to cry out in alarm. It wasn’t that they were prejudiced against Yang Kai and didn’t want him to enter the Profound Heaven Temple, but Li Wuyi was still the strongest person below the Great Emperor Realm. If he entered the Profound Heaven Temple, the Star Boundary side would have a higher chance of winning.
At the end of the day, Yang Kai was just a rising star who had occupied one of the slots, so he definitely wasn’t as useful as Li Wuyi. It was because of this consideration that they had spoken up to persuade him otherwise, how could they not care about Yang Kai’s intentions?
“There’s no need to speak any further, this matter was the result of this king's discussion with the two Elders,” Li Wuyi waved his hand, silencing everyone’s words.
Knowing that there were two Dragon Clan Elders’ intentions behind this, they knew that it would be useless to try to persuade them, but as such, some of them let out a sigh of relief.
Li Wuyi’s reputation was too great, and his strength was too great. If he had entered, no one else would have had a chance to reach the Great Dao, but now he had taken the initiative to give up this opportunity. If it was Yang Kai who entered, wouldn’t that mean their greatest opponent was gone?
This naturally caused the strength of the Star Boundary to be somewhat lacking, but at the same time, it also gave everyone more opportunities. For all the Pseudo Emperors, this was both advantageous and disadvantageous.
An old man stepped forward and cupped his fists, “Two Elders, Army's General Sir, this old master doesn’t know if he should speak.”
Li Wuyi smiled, “Sir Lin, please speak frankly.”
Yang Kai also turned his head and recognized this old man as the Commander of Ding Shen Army, Lin Rusong. This old man had entered the Pseudo Emperor Realm three thousand years ago and had a relatively indifferent temperament. For many years, he had been living in seclusion deep in the mountains. When the war between the two worlds broke out, he leave the mountain and become the Commander of Ding Shen's Army.
It was said that he was the most amiable Army Commander in the entire Star Boundary. Every time he fought with the Demon Race, he would always lead the charge, so in his army, all the soldiers respected and admired him. There were hundreds of thousands of people in the entire army, and not a single one of them didn’t respect him.
He was also famous for being a good old man who had never embarrass others and had some friendship with the various Army Commanders.
