“It’s like a doctor trying a last resort on a dead horse. If you fail, don’t blame me. If you succeed, treat me to some wine later!” As Yang Kai spoke, he took out a jade bottle, opened its lid, pinched open Old Bai’s mouth, and poured the contents into it.
Old Bai was caught off guard and swallowed the bottle content, but before he could ask any more questions, his expression suddenly became serious as he stared at Yang Kai in shock.
“How is it?” Yang Kai also looked at him nervously.
After a long time, Old Bai’s eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had understood something and cried out, “World's Source Liquid?”
“Is it really useful?” Yang Kai couldn’t wait to give him a kick. It was already so late, yet he was still bothering him.
“Is there more?” Old Bai smacked his lips and wore an unsatisfied expression.
“Yes!” Yang Kai didn’t say anything else and poured another bottle of World's Source Liquid into his mouth.
Old Bai took a deep breath and swept away his depressed mood before saying in a high-spirited tone, “Retreat a bit further and watch as I, Old Bai, ascend to the Open Heaven today and seek the Great Dao!”
Yang Kai decisively flew a hundred kilometers before stopping.
From a distance, Yang Kai could see Old Bai sitting cross-legged in the air, both of his hands forming seals. Although he was a hundred kilometres away, Yang Kai could still clearly feel the chaotic energy within Old Bai’s body rapidly calming down, and a profound aura slowly fluctuating.
It really worked! Seeing this, Yang Kai couldn’t help feeling relieved.
He had thought of giving Old Bai some World's Source Liquid, but he didn’t know the exact effects.
The World's Source Liquid was something he had brought out from the World Secret Realm where Profound Heaven Temple was located. It was a Spirit Liquid that could only be born after the creation of Heaven and Earth. At the time, he had collected a lot of World Source Liquid, but he had never used it before.
He had heard that the reason why the Iron Blood Great Emperor was stronger than the other Great Emperors was because he had once consumed World Source Liquid in the Profound Heaven Temple.
Yang Kai had also consumed this Spirit Liquid before, and when it had entered his stomach, the feeling of splitting the heaven and earth apart while he was in a daze was still fresh in his mind. Old Bai’s current condition was that his Yin-Yang and Five Elements were in chaos, and the newly formed small universe world was unstable. Yang Kai thought that this World Source Liquid might have some use.
From the looks of it now, not only did it have some effect, it was simply the right medicine.
As time passed, the chaotic aura disappeared and was replaced by the power of the Yin-Yang + Five Elements. A trace of World Force spread out from Old Bai’s body, and with his Divine Sense, he felt as if a brand new world was being born.
Yang Kai’s heart was filled with excitement and his eyes didn’t move for a moment.
Although he didn’t know how long it would take for him to break through to Open Heaven, with this experience, he would have a lot more coping experience in the future.
Boom…
A muffled sound rang out from a hundred kilometers away, and the sound of a great bell rang out from within Old Bai’s body. As the sound spread out, a ring of vibrations spread out from his body.
As the ripples spread out, Old Bai’s aura suddenly became more condensed.
Boom boom boom…
The fluctuations continued to spread out, and Old Bai’s aura rose steadily, no longer giving off a feeling of disorder. A faint shadow slowly appeared behind him.
At first, the figure was still unclear, but as time passed, it gradually solidified.
Looking around, Yang Kai couldn’t help feeling surprised, because this figure was actually the First Inn. From what he could see, it seemed to have returned to the First Inn.
This should be Old Bai’s Small Universe World! Yang Kai was shocked.
Up until now, he had only seen one small universe world that belonged to the Open Heaven Stage, the Fire Spiritual Land’s Protector Venerable, Duan Hai’s Small Universe World. When he was swallowed by the Myriad Sealed Insect and separated from Zhang Ruoxi, Duan Hai had drawn him into that world, which was a vast ocean with a lone island in it.
From the looks of it, every cultivator’s Small Universe World was different. Old White was the shop assistant of the First Star Inn, and the First Inn held an extraordinary significance to him, so the Small Universe World condensed from the Open Heaven promotion is based on the First Inn.
Yang Kai understood something.
Old Bai’s side had already stabilized, and it was only a matter of time before he broke through to the Open Heaven. Yang Kai’s injuries weren’t light, so he simply sat down cross-legged and began meditating.
As the days passed, the World Energy aura became more rich, and gradually, the illusory Small Universe World began to solidify, and a shocking aura suddenly began to emanate from Old Bai's body.
In the void, Old Bai opened his eyes and released a thunderous roar towards the sky.
Small Universe World flashed and disappeared into Old Bai's body.
Immediately after, a figure flashed in front of Yang Kai. Old Bai had already crossed a hundred kilometers and appeared in front of him, grinning at him, “Don’t say congratulations yet, I’ll treat you to some wine later. How long has it been?”
“Seven or eight days,” Yang Kai replied.
In this void, there was no way to calculate the time, but from the moment Old Bai swallowed the World Source Liquid until now, it had been almost this long.
What made Yang Kai feel fortunate was that these past few days, there hadn’t been any masters nearby, otherwise they would have been alarmed.
“Seven or eight days, I don’t know how the Proprietress is doing,” Old Bai frowned, a look of worry appearing on his face. He and Yang Kai had personally witnessed the Proprietress being pursued by four Mid Rank Open Heaven Stage masters, two at the Sixth Order and two at the Fifth Order. Although the Proprietress was strong, she was still injured, and she was fighting against four of them alone, so how could she possibly be their opponent?
Yang Kai muttered to himself, “The Proprietress is not a fool, even if she knows she’s no match for them, how could she continue to tangle with them? If I were her, I would either hide in the Universe Temple or hide in the Star City of Gold Rainbow Territory.”
Old Bai nodded when he heard this, “That makes sense! In that case, the possibility of being in the Universe Temple is more likely.”
He didn’t know what kind of situation the Star City of Gold Rainbow Territory was in, but if it wasn’t under the control of Great Battle Heaven, it wasn’t necessarily impossible to have a private fight in the Star City. Even if the Proprietress hid inside, it wouldn’t be of any use. On the other hand, Universe Temple was absolutely not a place where conflicts could be allowed, otherwise it would be an enemy of all the Cave Heaven and Paradise. In the entire Three Thousand Worlds, who would have such courage?
“Let’s go to the Universe Temple!” Old Bai immediately made a decision.
“Do you need to stabilize your realm first?” Yang Kai asked. He had just broken through and had yet to familiarize himself with the strength of the Open Heaven Stage. Although he had reached the Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage, if he were to encounter an enemy, it was hard to say how much strength he could display.
“There’s no time, I'll slowly familiarize myself in the future,” As Old Bai spoke, he was about to use his Universe Escape Law.
Turning his head, he saw Yang Kai staring at him helplessly and couldn’t help patting his head, “Oh right, I forgot you didn’t leave your mark on this Gold Rainbow Territory's Universe Temple.”
If he didn’t leave his mark, he wouldn’t be able to use the Universe Escape Law to the Universe Temple.
“You go first, I’ll fly over slowly,” Yang Kai said as he took out his Universe Chart and looked around, “It’s not far, just four or five days.”
Old Bai hesitated, “But if you’re alone…”
Yang Kai replied in a low voice, “I’m fine, Proprietress is more important.” Recalling the expression on the Proprietress’ face before she left, Yang Kai felt a sharp pain in his heart. If it weren’t for him and Old Bai, how could the Proprietress have forcibly shifted the battlefield?
Old Bai also knew that this was not the time to delay. He had spent seven or eight days to break through to the Open Heaven. After such a long time, the situation on the Proprietress's side would definitely become worse. Gritting his teeth, he said, “Good, be careful on your way.”
Yang Kai nodded.
Old Bai didn’t hesitate any longer and immediately executed the Universe Escape Law, causing a brilliant light to envelop him as the grand formation beneath his feet floated up and he instantly fled.
After he left, Yang Kai flew towards the Universe Temple.
Judging from the Universe Chart, this place was about four or five days away from the Universe Temple. Even if Yang Kai were to travel at full speed, it would take at least three days.
In his heart, he was secretly worried. He didn’t know how the situation on the Proprietress's side was, whether she had managed to escape or not, but he also hated Qi Jin and the others for being so shameless, even using the Locking Yang Land to lure the Proprietress into a trap.
Traveling through the void was incredibly lonely, and if it wasn’t a coincidence, it would be difficult to encounter anyone else in this vast expanse of universe.
Two days later, Yang Kai, who was rushing forward, suddenly felt a Divine Sense sweep past him, causing him to shiver and quickly look up.
As far as he could see, he couldn’t see anything, nor could he detect anything with his Divine Sense.
Yang Kai knew that the owner of this Divine Sense should be far stronger than him, which was why he couldn’t find any trace of it. Just as he was thinking this, Yang Kai’s expression suddenly changed, because the Divine Sense that had swept over him didn’t move, instead firmly biting him.
Without even thinking about it, Yang Kai immediately used his Space Laws to escape, and when he reappeared, he was already several hundred kilometers away.
No matter who the owner of this Divine Sense was, since it had set its eyes on him, it definitely had some kind intentions. How could Yang Kai not know how to flee? He felt extremely depressed in his heart. This weak strength was truly a tragedy. In the Star Boundary, he was invincible, but in the Outer Universe, anyone could chase him like a rabbit. It seemed like he could only become a master as soon as possible like Old Bai.
The Divine Sense didn’t disperse and continued to lock onto Yang Kai at an incredible speed. No matter how much Yang Kai tried to dodge, he couldn’t escape from his opponent’s pursuit and continued to close the distance.
After half a day, Yang Kai finally felt the aura of this person, which meant that the person chasing him was approaching his Divine Sense.
“It’s you bitch!”
Upon closer inspection, Yang Kai was both shocked and angry, cursing in his heart.
The one chasing him was none other than the woman who had fought with the Proprietress, Yue He!
Since Yue He was here, it meant that the battle with the Proprietress had ended. Yang Kai’s heart sank as he instinctively felt that the Proprietress's situation was not good.
But he was only an Emperor Realm, so why was this woman chasing him? From the direction she was heading, she should be coming from the Universe Temple, otherwise there was no reason for her to meet him.
While he was puzzled, Yue He’s voice suddenly rang out in his mind, “Do you want to know if Lan Youruo is dead or alive?”
