This sudden change shocked Yang Kai!
In the blink of an eye, Yang Kai’s thoughts raced as he quickly understood the reason. The capacity of the Mysterious Small World was limited, just like the World Bottle of Heaven and Earth in the Star Boundary. There could only be ten Great Emperors at once, and it was impossible for the eleventh to be born. This was the self-protection of the entire world, and also the limitation of the World Laws.
There was a limit to the capacity of the Star Boundary’s World Bottle, and it was the same for the Mysterious Small World. Moreover, the Mysterious Small World could not be compared to the Star Boundary at all. If such a powerful existence was rashly placed into the Golden Crow’s corpse, the entire world would not be able to withstand it!
This was just a corpse. If the Golden Crow really came in, Yang Kai estimated that the entire Mysterious Small World would be burned to ashes.
The Mysterious Small World was no longer the same as it had been in the past. The Second and Third Territories had been separated one after another, and now the Mysterious Small World was only left with its original First Territory. Its capacity was pitifully small, and the Golden Crow’s corpse had suddenly been thrown in, resulting in such a change.
Since he already knew the reason, Yang Kai didn’t dare to be negligent, quickly shaking the Six Directions Wishful Bag and collecting the Golden Crow’s corpse.
Only then did the trembling of the world gradually calm down and slowly disappear. The chaotic Laws also returned to normal, and this change confirmed his previous guess.
Frowning, Yang Kai stood in place, lost in thought.
If he hadn’t decided to bring the Golden Crow’s corpse into the Mysterious Small World at the last minute, he really wouldn’t have discovered this layer. If the Golden Crow’s corpse was like this, what would happen if an Open HEaven Stage cultivator was taken into the Mysterious Small World?
The body of an Open Heaven Stage master had already open the heaven and earth, and the strength of the Small Universe World inside their body was also different. If the capacity of the Mysterious Small World was larger than the Open Heaven Stage's world, perhaps they would be able to live in harmony, but if they were smaller, it was highly likely that such a change would occur.
Thinking so, Yang Kai became vigilant. It seemed that if he didn’t have any other choice in the future, he couldn’t simply bring an Open Heaven Stage master into the Mysterious Small World, otherwise, it would bring about great losses and hidden dangers.
If the Mysterious Small World was like this, then there was no need to mention the World Bead. The World Bead was a replica of the Mysterious Boundary Bead, but it was far inferior to the Mysterious Boundary Bead, because the World Bead was refined from a dead star and didn’t even have its own World Laws. Yang Kai estimated that the World Bead he refined wouldn’t be able to contain an Open Heaven Stage cultivator, so if he tried to forcefully take it in, it would explode!
From the looks of it, the Six Directions Wishful Bag was quite extraordinary. It was also capable of accommodating an Open Heaven Stage cultivator, but compared to the Mysterious Small World, the Six Directions Wishful Bag was not a small world, it was just a small space.
He didn’t know who had refined this Six Directions Wishful Bag and why it had fallen into Old Man Xu’s hands.
However, none of this mattered. The Wishful Bag was now his treasure!
Since there was no way to test it in the Mysterious Small World, Yang Kai could only flash out, put away the Mysterious Boundary Bead, and then dive back into the Wishful Bag. Fortunately, the Wishful Bag had been completely refined by him, so it could be large or small as he wished. It wasn’t as vast as the Mysterious Small World, but it wasn’t crowded with a Golden Crow corpse.
When the Golden Crow was alive, it had been extremely powerful, but after its death, there was nothing special about it. Releasing his Divine Sense, Yang Kai could feel a faint evil aura. After circling the Golden Crow’s corpse a few times, Yang Kai stood in front of it, crossed his arms, and examined it carefully.
He didn’t know how to begin. Thinking back to how he had condensed the Wood Element Force, it was because he had long since refined the Eternal Tree, and with Ruoxi’s guidance, the entire process had been quite easy.
Now that he was alone and had no one to rely on, Yang Kai hesitated.
After thinking about it for a long time, Yang Kai decided to give it a try first. The Proprietress had described the Golden Crow True Fire as terrifying, so it was best to be careful.
Stretching out his hand, Yang Kai placed it on the Golden Crow’s forehead and closed his eyes, silently feeling it as he attempted to draw out the True Fire from the Golden Crow’s corpse. At first, there was nothing special about it, but at one point, his palm suddenly felt hot, and from the Golden Crow’s corpse, a scorching aura that seemed capable of incinerating all things rushed towards him. At the same time, Yang Kai felt as if he was standing in front of a round sun, and the scorching heat seemed to be able to melt him at any moment.
Yang Kai’s expression changed and he quickly retreated, but his hand was already wrapped in a black flame. The burning smell of his flesh filled the air and the piercing pain caused Yang Kai to roar like a wounded beast.
He desperately pushed his Emperor Qi in an attempt to stop the black flames from burning, but to his surprise, his own Emperor Qi seemed to have become the fuel of the black flames. The more it surged, the fiercer the black flames became. In the blink of an eye, the flames had reached his elbow!
Yang Kai turned pale with fright. Although he was mentally prepared and knew that the Golden Crow True Fire was extraordinary, he had still underestimated the power of this True Fire. Now he was in an awkward position. Was he going to be burned to death?
At this critical moment, he suddenly remembered what the Proprietress had said before. Only a powerful enough wood element force could suppress the Golden Crow True Fire, so he quickly activated the power of his Dao Seal.
A faint green aura spread out from his arm, complementing with the black flames, making it look extremely strange. The power of the Eternal Tree was indeed amazing, and when he activated this Wood Element power, Yang Kai could clearly feel that the pain was greatly reduced. The place where he had been injured by the Golden Crow True Fire also felt like it was being nourished, and his flesh was clearly growing.
Yang Kai let out a long sigh. He had taken the right step. The quality of his Wood Element force should be higher than the Golden Crow True Fire, otherwise he wouldn’t have shown such a performance.
From the looks of it, as long as the Wood Element was strong enough, absorbing this Golden Crow True Fire and condensing the Fire Element would not be too dangerous.
But thinking about it from another perspective, how many people in this world could possess such powerful Wood Element strength? Even if there were some, they would not be able to compare to the essence of the Eternal Tree.
Feeling relieved, Yang Kai sat down cross-legged and carefully wrapped this Golden Crow True Fire with his Wood Element energy before drawing it into his Dao Seal.
After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the originally dark green Dao Seal began to show a bit of black. From this black color, Yang Kai could clearly feel a violent and destructive aura.
Taking a closer look, Yang Kai didn’t feel any discomfort and his face lit up.
In other words, he could completely absorb the Golden Crow True Fire and condense the power of the Fire Element! Moreover, from the feeling the Golden Crow True Fire gave him, its grade was definitely not lower than the seventh grade!
Yang Kai had never seen other Seventh Grade materials before, but in the Golden Crow Divine Palace, he had seen the Seventh Grade Sun's True Gold and felt the aura of the Seventh Grade Sun's True Gold, which was somewhat inferior to the Golden Crow True Fire.
It had only been a year or so since he had arrived in the Outer Unvierse, but now he had the opportunity to condense his Fire Element. This was truly a stroke of good fortune!
He couldn’t be bothered to consider the conditions that the Proprietress had proposed. Ji Tian Xing’s previous words were correct, many external factors were just illusions, and all power and wealth were nothing but fleeting clouds. Only one’s own strength was essential.
Materials above the Seventh Grade could only be found by chance. Since Yang Kai wanted to reach the High Rank Open Heaven Stage directly, how could he miss such an opportunity? Not to mention that the conditions the Proprietress had offered before had not really moved him, even if they were several times higher, Yang Kai could still give it up under the temptation of this Fire Element!
In a short period of time, the Wood Element’s power had also healed the wound caused by the Golden Crow True Fire. Taking a deep breath, Yang Kai stretched out his hand and pressed it against the Golden Crow’s head, activating the power of the Dao Seal to draw the Golden Crow True Fire into his body!
The pitch-black flames were once again drawn out and wrapped around Yang Kai’s arm, but they were suppressed by the Wood Element, preventing him from being injured.
After half a day, Yang Kai reluctantly jumped out of the Wishful Bag. It wasn’t that he had condensed his Fire Element, it was just that he couldn’t finish it in one bite. Today, he had absorbed enough Golden Crow True Fire, so he needed to digest it before continuing. Moreover, Yang Kai was afraid that the Proprietress would suddenly break in. If she were to discover him hiding inside the Wishful Bag and secretly absorbing the Golden Crow True Fire, she would definitely not give up.
For the next few days, the Proprietress would come to find Yang Kai once a day to discuss the Golden Crow’s corpse with him. Yang Kai naturally pretended to be polite and acted as if he was interested while casually dealing with her, but he could feel that the Proprietress’ patience was about to run out.
Every time she left, Yang Kai would suffer a kick, but his strength was not high enough to avoid it.
The speed at which he absorbed the Golden Crow True Fire was not slow. With the protection of the Eternal Tree’s Wood Element, Yang Kai could be said to have opened his arms wide. If others were to learn of this, they would definitely be shocked.
In the entire Outer Universe World, condensing any kind of energy was not something that could be done in a short period of time, but rather required a long period of seclusion. This period of time varied from three to five years to ten or twenty years.
If it weren’t for the Eternal Tree’s Wood Element, Yang Kai wouldn’t have been able to act so recklessly. It was because of the Eternal Tree’s power that he was able to absorb the Golden Crow True Fire that others couldn’t even absorb for months.
As time passed, Yang Kai gradually began to sense some things. According to his current speed, it would only take another ten days for the Fire Element power in his Dao Seal to reach a saturated state. At that time, he would no longer need to absorb the Golden Crow True Fire, and at that time, the Five Elements Fire Force would be condensed successfully.
Ten days! The key point was that the Proprietress was getting more anxious. She definitely wouldn’t give him such a long time.
Fortunately, everytime the Proprietress comes to find him, Yang Kai was not discovered.
On this day, after calculating the time, Yang Kai jumped out of his Wishful Bag and meditated for less than an hour before he heard a knock on the door.
Needless to say, it was the Proprietress again. Yang Kai stood up helplessly and opened the door. Sure enough, the Proprietress was standing outside, but what surprised Yang Kai was that she wasn’t alone this time, there was someone else with her.
