As for the Great Domain where the Cave Heaven and Paradise were located, it was basically named after the various Cave Heaven and Paradise. For example, the place where Myriad Demon Heavens was located was called Myriad Demon Territory, while the place where Great Battle Heaven was located was called Great Battle Domain.
Yang Kai also found Langya Paradise and Golden Antelope Paradise in the Universe Chart.
He was paying attention to Langya Paradise not because of anything else, but because Zhang Ruoxi’s ancestor had come from this force, and now that Ruoxi had also come to the Outer Universe, if nothing unexpected happened, she would likely go to Langya Paradise. As for Golden Antelope Paradise, because of the existence of the Sharp Gold Yuan Ghost, if he wanted to condense the Gold Element in the future, he would need to go there.
After silently calculating the distance between these two Paradises, Yang Kai secretly clicked his tongue. They weren’t too close to each other and were separated by several dozen great domains. If he were to fly alone, without the assistance of the Universe Escape Law, it would take him several years to reach them.
This made Yang Kai a little worried. Although Ruoxi’s strength was not bad in the Star Boundary, it was obviously not enough in the Outer Universe. He didn’t know if it would be safe for her to go to Langya Paradise alone and if she could successfully reach it.
In addition to the Great Domains with their own names, there were many other Great Domains that didn’t have their own names, only their codenames, such as the A-1 Domain, A-2 Domain, and so on.
Yang Kai looked at it for a while and concluded a pattern.
These Great Domains with no names and only codenames were all Great Domains without Second Class Forces. For example, the Great Moon Province’s Great Domain was called D39 Domain, not Great Moon Domain.
In other words, only a Second Class Force had the qualifications to place their name above a Great Domain, while a Third Class Force didn’t.
There were also some large domains that didn’t even have Third Class Force, only many Small Universe Worlds, each of which had its name marked.
In order to find the location of the Star Boundary from such a massive map, it was a huge project. Yang Kai carefully examined it, his eyes becoming sore.
As time passed, Yang Kai suddenly heard the sound of a door opening and quickly collected his thoughts. Looking up, he saw Luo Haiyi walk out from the inner room.
Yang Kai was stunned for a moment before quickly realizing that it should be morning.
“Sir didn’t rest?” Luo Haiyi looked at him in surprise.
Yang Kai put away the Unvierse Chart and shook his head, “I was busy with something and forgot. Is it dawn?”
Luo Haiyi nodded, “En.”
They had to start work at dawn, so after tidying up a little, the two of them set out.
After two days of running, Yang Kai had become familiar with the matter of collecting debts. In any case, he didn’t expect to obtain them immediately. The other party would only decide whether to pay or not after verifying it. After that, he would go over and pay a visit to the shopkeeper and talk to him about the reason and the one-month deadline.
After a few more runs, everything went smoothly.
“Sir, you should be careful in the Hundred Refining Hall,” On the way, Luo Haiyi suddenly said.
“Why?” Yang Kai looked at her suspiciously. Was there anything different about this Hundred Refining Hall? He hadn’t heard her say to be careful before.
Luo Haiyi said, “This mistress doesn’t know if it’s true, but there are rumors that this Hundred Refining Hall's shopkeeper is an unreasonable person.”
Yang Kai looked down at the jade slip and found that the background of this Hundred Refining Hall was a Paradise, so he smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter, if he is reasonable, I will try to reason with him. If he is unreasonable, someone will naturally deal with him.”
With the Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage Proprietress standing behind him, as long as the other party was not a High Rank Open Heaven Stage master, Yang Kai had nothing to fear. Moreover, from the attitude of the shopkeepers these past few days, it was highly likely that the First Inn’s background was one of the 36 Cave Heaven.
Although Cave Heaven and Paradise were all first-class forces, there must be a reason why they were ranked first.
However, if it wasn’t necessary, Yang Kai didn’t want to trouble the Proprietress. Firstly, 5% of the debt he wanted to collect was his own, and secondly, if he were to trouble the Proprietress for such a trivial matter, it would make him appear too incompetent.
Seeing him like this, Luo Haiyi didn’t say anything more. After all, she had never interacted with such a big character before, so what she said was just a rumor. If she made a mistake, it would be quite embarrassing.
When they arrived outside the Hundred Refining Hall, Luo Haiyi was still waiting outside. Yang Kai put out the letter and waited for a while before someone led him into the inner courtyard.
As soon as he stepped into the Inner Courtyard, Yang Kai felt a violent energy fluctuation coming from that direction, causing him to be surprised. Why would someone attack here?
Moreover, judging from the intensity of the energy fluctuations, the strength of the person who attacked him was not very high, probably not at the Open Heaven Stage. Most likely, they were all existences who had condensed their Dao Seals!
While secretly vigilant, he looked up and was slightly startled.
Inside a transparent barrier in front of them, two figures were locked in a fierce battle in a giant arena.
One of them was a young man in blue while the other was a half-grown old man. It was unknown what kind of enmity they had with each other, but both sides were extremely ruthless in their attacks, each of them seemingly intent on killing the other. Both of them were equally strong, and their methods were also quite good. The two of them were evenly matched.
Yang Kai couldn’t help taking a few more glances as the young servant leading the way turned around and said, “Follow!”
Only then did Yang Kai withdraw his gaze and follow.
Not long after, they arrived at a high platform where a burly man with a fierce face stood with his hands on his waist, his eyes wide as he stared at the battle below.
This man’s face was fierce, and even if he didn’t use his strength, he still gave off an extremely dangerous aura, but at this moment, his strength was extremely unstable, causing the people accompanying him to tremble in fear, afraid he would release his anger.
The young servant who was leading the way lowered his head, looked at his feet, and said in a trembling voice, “Shopkeeper… He’s here.”
“Wait!” The burly man waved his hand, not even sparing a glance as he continued to stare at the battle, not moving an inch. He looked extremely nervous, and no one knew what he was feeling.
Yang Kai was speechless. In all the shops he had visited before, the shopkeepers had always treated him politely, not showing him the slightest bit of contempt because of his low cultivation. This was the first time he had been ignored.
From the looks of it, there was no smoke without fire, so Luo Haiyi calling him unreasonable was quite possible.
He was the Host, so if the other party wanted him to wait, Yang Kai could only wait. Fortunately, he wasn’t just waiting, so Yang Kai simply looked down at the battle below, taking it as a show.
Inside the arena, the battle was extremely lively, but because their strengths were similar, it was impossible to determine who would win in a short time.
The Hundred Refining Hall's shopkeeper seemed somewhat impatient as he shouted angrily, “Two pieces of trash, how long do you want to fight? I’ll give you ten breaths of time. If you can’t decide the winner, then scram to the mine!”
Yang Kai turned his head to look at him with a speechless expression, thinking to himself that there were all kinds of birds in this vast forest. The two of them were originally equal in strength, yet he wanted to force them to decide the victor within ten breaths of time. Wasn’t this forcing them to use their trump card?
Sensing Yang Kai’s gaze, the burly man looked down at him and grinned, revealing his fierce fangs. Yang Kai could only smile back.
On the battlefield, the two people who had been fighting for so long heard this shout and both jumped back, their expressions becoming serious as their strength fluctuated violently.
In the next moment, the two of them seemed to have come to an agreement and each of them transformed into a ball of dazzling light that shot towards the other.
An earth-shattering sound rang out from the battlefield as the light barrier surrounding the battlefield rippled and gradually dissipated. One person fell to the ground while the other stood proudly!
The one who fell to the ground was a half-grown old man, the one who stood tall was a young man in blue.
However, even if he won, the young man’s face was still pale and his body was covered in blood. Obviously, he had suffered some injuries.
The burly man raised his hand and said, “The one who loses will be thrown out to mine and the winner will have the reward!”
The young man cupped his fists, “Thank you, shopkeeper!”
The burly man chuckled before turning around and sitting down. He picked up his cup of tea and drank it in one gulp before looking around and asking, “Isn’t this interesting?”
“Yes, yes, yes!” Everyone nodded, not daring to utter a single word.
Yang Kai became even more speechless. He didn’t know what this Hundred Refining Hall was selling, but how could it allow such a person to become its shopkeeper? With such a personality, how could he possibly earn money? If he did, he might even lose his pants.
“Boy, you don’t seem to think much of it. Do you have any ideas?” The burly man suddenly turned to look at Yang Kai.
Yang Kai quickly stepped forward and cupped his hands, “First Inn’s Yang Kai greets Shopkeeper Pei!”
The shopkeeper of the Hundred Refining Hall was called Pei Buwan, and the Jade Slip given to him by the Proprietress recorded that he was a Fourth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator.
“First inn…” Pei Buwan stroked his chin, “Ah… such a big name, why did you come here?”
Yang Kai replied, “The purpose of this trip has already been stated in the letter. I am here to collect the debt.”
Pei Buwan chuckled, “Debt? What debt?”
Yang Kai frowned, thinking to himself, Isn’t this asking the obvious? The notice in the letter clearly mentioned it, it seems this trip would not go smoothly.
Thinking so in his heart, he said, “Reporting to Shopkeeper Pei, someone from your noble family attacked the First Inn and destroyed my First Inn, so the Proprietress wants me to ask for compensation.”
Pei Buwan clicked his tongue, “Someone fought in the First Inn, that’s amazing, so who is this person you’re talking about?”
Yang Kai shook his head, “This little brat doesn’t know anything about this, nor does he know who it is.” Who knew what kind of people had taken action in the First Inn? The Proprietress definitely knew them, so how could a nobody like him recognize them? What’s more, he had been hiding inside the Wishful Bag at the time, so he didn’t even know when the First Inn had been destroyed.
“Is there this King?” Pei Buwan asked again.
Yang Kai shook his head, “No.”
“Come, come, come, come closer and take a closer look. Was this King among the people who attacked and destroyed your First Inn?” Pei Buwan asked as he moved his face closer.
“No!” Yang Kai continued to shake his head.
“Are you sure?” Pei Buwan narrowed his eyes slightly.
“I can confirm.”
