He was secretly shocked. The Fire Element energy here was rich and pure, many times higher than the Fire Spiritual Land of the Seven Skillful Land. If one could cultivate and condense a First Grade Fire Element energy in the Fire Spiritual Land of the Seven Skillful Land, then one could condense a Third Order Fire Element here!
Without any Fire Element materials, just absorbing this current Fire Element energy to reach the Third Order was shocking. If the outside forces were to find out about this, they would probably fight to the death. Just think about it, how could such a rare Cultivation Treasure Land not be coveted?
But… what kind of place was this? How could there be such an existence under the Sun Star? He couldn’t figure it out, so he decided not to think about it for the time being. Looking around, he saw that the tunnel was very long, with no end in sight.
Yang Kai tried to activate the Space Laws and found that they weren’t obscure. In other words, the world here wasn’t sealed, so he was relieved. As long as the world wasn’t sealed, he could leave at any time without fear of being trapped here.
After randomly choosing a direction and walking forward for a few thousand meters, he actually reached the end of the road. At the end of the road, there was a bronze door that seemed extremely heavy, blocking his way.
Yang Kai raised his hand to push open the door, but even after exerting all his strength, he was still unable to push it open. He couldn’t help feeling surprised. Although his current cultivation wasn’t very high in the Outer Universe, because of the Dragon Vein, his strength was terrifying. This bronze door didn’t seem to be anything special, but under his brute force, it remained unmoved. Obviously, it wasn’t something simple.
Yang Kai didn’t dare cause too much of a ruckus, so after pondering for a moment, he returned to the other side.
After walking for a long time, Yang Kai reached the end of the road. What made him speechless was that the situation on this side was exactly the same as on the other side. There was a large bronze door blocking his way. If Yang Kai wasn’t certain he was heading in the right direction, he would have thought he was walking in circles.
This passage had been completely sealed off!
From the looks of it, if he wanted to leave this place, he would have to open the bronze door, but he didn’t know where the two doors led to.
This time, it was a bit difficult. Standing in place for a moment, Yang Kai took out the Six Directions Wishful Bag and examined its contents.
Inside the bag was a ball of hot flames that seemed to have a mind of its own. However, the Wishful Bag was a treasure that could even absorb the Open Heaven Stage cultivator, so how could a ball of Sun's True Fire break free from its shackles?
It was indeed a Fifth Order Sun's True Fire! Compared to the three portions of Sun's True Fire he had collected from Great Moon Province, the Fire Attribute energy in his possession was obviously richer and purer. Looking at this mass of Sun's True Fire, Yang Kai’s mood became much better. After spending nearly four months in the First Inn and spending over a hundred thousand Open Heaven Pills, the fifth grade materials he had obtained were worth one or two million, making up for all his previous expenses.
Since he couldn’t keep it in his Six Directions Wishful Bag forever, Yang Kai decided to simply transfer his Sun's True Fire into the Mysterious Small World and suppress it somewhere.
After finishing all of this, Yang Kai looked up at the bronze door in front of him, his gaze slowly becoming firm. He had come to this place because he had no other choice. Firstly, it was to broaden his horizons, and secondly, it was for the World Tree. Regardless of the reason, he needed a massive amount of wealth to support himself.
Although he had gained some benefits from this trip to the Sun Star, it was nothing compared to his future expenses, so no matter what, he had to obtain as many benefits as possible. He didn’t know if he would have such an opportunity in the future.
Behind the bronze door, there might be some incredible treasure!
Reaching out into the void, Yang Kai summoned his Azure Dragon Spear and pushed it forward.
The ground shook…
At the same time, on the ground, in front of a simple and unadorned hall, a number of figures flew over from all directions and landed in front of the hall, staring at it in awe.
“Golden Crow Divine Palace!”
“It really is Golden Crow Divine Palace!”
Shocked cries rang out from the mouths of the many Open Heaven Stage masters, each of their faces flushing red. Even these Open Heaven Stage masters had never thought that the legend was true, that the Golden Crow Divine Palace really existed on Sun Star.
Since there was a Golden Crow Divine Palace here, it meant that the other legend was not baseless.
The Golden Crow is dying so the Sun was about to be extinguished!
Thinking that there might be a powerful Golden Crow’s corpse inside this Golden Crow Divine Palace, many Open Heaven Stage masters felt their hearts burn. This was a Golden Crow, one of the Ancient Beasts, not inferior to a Dragon or Phoenix. Not to mention how many treasures this Golden Crow had collected throughout its life, even its corpse itself was a priceless treasure!
But now, this Golden Crow Divine Palace was right in front of them, and the countless treasures inside seemed to be waving towards them. Who wouldn’t be tempted?
The Open Heaven Stage masters who had arrived first couldn’t contain their excitement and rushed towards the Golden Crow Divine Palace in a flash, causing a great commotion as one figure after another rushed forward!
The doors of the Divine Palace were tightly shut, and although there were no signs of a barrier, it still blocked everyone’s path. Just as a group of Open Heaven Staage masters was about to force their way through the door, two statues of three-legged strange birds on both sides of the door suddenly released a dangerous aura. The eyes of the two three-legged strange birds turned nimbly, and with a cracking sound, they turned their heads towards the door and opened their mouths, spitting out two thin lines of fire.
The line of fire was so small that it was almost negligible, and when it was spat out, there was no heat at all.
However, when the line of fire was spat out, the several Open Heaven Stage masters gathered near the gate had a huge hole in their chests and stomachs. There was no blood flowing out from the hole, but one could clearly see the movements of their internal organs.
A sudden change occurred and no one could react.
Screams immediately rang out, and the group of Open Heaven Stage cultivators all retreated in panic.
After a series of cracking sounds, the two statues of the three-legged strange birds seemed to come to life as they flapped their wings and walked down from their original positions, their black bodies emitting a dazzling light like two small suns.
When Wei Que and Tao Rongfang arrived, they happened to see a group of Open Heaven Stage cultivators fighting these two Golden Crow statues and couldn’t help being shocked.
“Brother Zi Ye?” Wei Jue turned his eyes and saw a figure sitting cross-legged not far away. He quickly rushed over and after landing, he saw the terrifying wound on the chest and abdomen of this person and his expression changed slightly, “Brother Zi Ye, what happened?”
Zi Ye opened his eyes and looked up, smiling wryly, “So it’s Brother Wei…”
“Brother Zi Ye, your injury…”
Zi Ye’s smile became even more bitter, “I wasn’t paying attention… cough cough…” As he spoke, blood foamed from his mouth. The temperature of the blood foamed at a terrifying temperature, as if it had been boiled and was bubbling. At the same time, his skin became extremely red, like a cooked crab.
“Be careful… Golden Crow's True Fire!” Zi Ye shouted as he fell to the ground, blood pouring out from his seven orifices.
“Brother Zi Ye! Brother Zi Ye!” Wei Que cried out in alarm, but no response came.
“He’s… dead?” Tao Rongfang, who had followed them down, paled slightly.
Wei Que stretched out his hand to check on Zi Ye’s condition, and his expression couldn’t help changing as he discovered that Zi Ye’s meridians had been completely burned, and there was still a burning hot energy rampaging through his body. Without the protection of his own strength, this scorching hot energy had turned Zi Ye’s flesh into blood, flowing out from the wounds on his seven orifices and chest.
Wei Que’s scalp went numb and his body went cold.
He was well aware of this Zi Ye’s strength. Just like himself, he was also a Third Order Open Heaven. Although this kind of strength wasn’t very strong in the Outer Universe, it wasn’t weak either. Now that he had died so miserably, it was obvious that this Golden Crow Divine Palace wasn’t easy to break through.
Looking up, he saw a group of Open Heaven Stage cultivators fighting with two Golden Crow statues outside the Divine Palace. Wei Que was certain that these two Golden Crow statues were indeed just statues, without any signs of life. However, he didn’t know what material they were refined from, but they were extremely sturdy. There was even a trace of the Golden Crow’s divine ability sealed inside these statues, otherwise they wouldn’t have such power.
“Senior Brother, what should we do?” Tao Rongfang asked.
Wei Que said, “Wait and see!”
Although the two Golden Crow statues weren’t very nimble and Wei Que wouldn’t be injured as long as he was on guard, the Golden Crow's True Fire was truly terrifying. Moreover, with so many people surrounding the two statues, there were quite a few people from Great Moon Province.
There were many others who had the same idea as them, all of whom had rushed here later to observe from afar, showing no signs of interfering.
This scene caused the Open Heaven Stage cultivators who were fighting with the Golden Crow statue to curse in their hearts, but at this moment, they couldn’t escape and could only grit their teeth and endure.
At this moment, those who dared to come here were basically all Open Heaven Stage masters. Any cultivator below Open Heaven Stage was nowhere to be seen. Most likely, all of them had the same idea as Wei Que and had arranged for their disciples to stay outside so that they wouldn’t be restrained when fighting others.
After fighting for a long time, another two Open Heaven Stage masters were injured by the Golden Crow’s True Fire and were forced to flee, but the Golden Crow’s True Fire was too fierce. Although the two of them weren’t seriously injured, their bodies were clearly filled with boiling blood. If they didn’t find a way to neutralize the Golden Crow’s True Fire in their bodies, they would likely end up like Zi Ye.
The group of Open HEaven Stage masters secretly cried out… Originally, they had been the first to arrive, but who would have thought they would encounter these two killing machines? If they had known, they wouldn’t have come so quickly.
However, the efforts of many Open Heaven Stage masters were not in vain. After fighting for so long, the movements of the two Golden Crow statues were obviously not as agile as before, and the Golden Crow True Fire they spewed out was not as fierce as before, causing their originally somewhat intelligent eyes to become dull.
Everyone understood what it meant and knew that most of the divine ability that had been branded into the statue had been worn away. No matter how powerful they were, they were still inanimate objects. With so many Open Heaven Stage cultivators attacking together, it was only a matter of time before they were destroyed.
