However, this wasn’t the main point. What made Yang Kai speechless was that he needed to constantly divert a portion of his attention to activate the Defying Yin-Yang Five Elements Mysterious Universe Heart Scripture to maintain the stability of the four five elements forces in the Dao Seal, otherwise the five elements forces would be in chaos.
This was a bit of a headache. Although this part of his mind wasn’t too big and wouldn’t affect his daily life and battle, the harsh truth was that he couldn’t stop for even a moment. In other words, before he could restore the power of his Dao Seal, Yang Kai absolutely couldn’t fall unconscious, or he would die.
“Young Master has just condensed his Water Element, so he should be cultivating in seclusion to consolidate his foundation. Why did he run out?” Yue He looked at him in confusion.
“There’s something I want to ask Senior Zhu about. Where is Senior?”
Yue He shook her head. She had been guarding this place for the past six months and had not gone anywhere else, so how could she know where Zhu Jiuyin had gone?
Yang Kai’s Divine Sense quickly found Zhu Jiuyin’s aura and with a flash, he appeared in front of her.
Looking over, Yang Kai was shocked to see Zhu Jiuyin lazily lying on the bed while Lu Xue was holding a fan and gently fanning her. In front of the bed, a praying mantis was half-kneeling with its head lowered, seemingly reporting something to Zhu Jiuyin.
This mantis head looked exactly the same as the one Yang Kai had killed before. Yang Kai had thought that the deceased had been resurrected, but after thinking about it carefully, it didn’t seem possible. Dalang’s head had been pierced through by Yang Kai, so how could he have revived?
This praying mantis head in front of him was definitely one of Zhu Jiuyin’s subordinates. If it was in the past, this kind of thing could never enter the Star City, but now that Zhu Jiuyin was guarding this place, who would dare to stop him?
“You may leave,” Zhu Jiuyin waved her hand.
The praying mantis head excuse himself and retreated, not even sparing Yang Kai a glance.
After the praying mantis head left, Yang Kai cupped his hands and greeted, “Senior.”
Zhu Jiuyin looked up at him and nodded, “Since you’ve successfully refined it, why didn’t you go into seclusion to consolidate it?”
Yang Kai frowned, “There seems to be something wrong with me.”
“What's wrong?” Zhu Jiuyin was slightly surprised.
“I don’t know why, but I feel like there’s a buzzing voice in my head. If I listen carefully, I won’t be able to hear anything.”
“A voice?” Zhu Jiuyin frowned, “What kind of voice?”
“I can’t say,” Yang Kai slowly shook his head and listened carefully for a while before asking in horror, “It’s here again. Senior, is there something wrong with the Defying Yin-Yang Five Elements Mysterious Universe Heart Scripture?”
He felt that there was something wrong with this technique that led to this current situation.
Zhu Jiuyin said strangely, “I’ve never heard of such a thing happening before.” Her previous Bearer had also cultivated this technique before, but there was no sign of it from what Yang Kai said, “Is it just your imagination?”
Yang Kai hesitated for a moment, but after hearing what she said, he couldn’t say for sure if it was just an illusion. Moreover, that faint voice didn’t really affect him much, he was just a bit worried.
“If you don’t worry, you can release the Dao Seal and I’ll help you take a look,” Zhu Jiuyin suggested.
Yang Kai shook his head, “Perhaps it’s just an illusion.”
Zhu Jiuyin had chosen him as her Bearer, so she had no ill intentions towards him, but releasing the Dao Seal was equivalent to revealing all his secrets to her, so Yang Kai was naturally unwilling.
Zhu Jiuyin didn’t force him and nodded, “Perhaps it's nothing.”
Yang Kai nodded and changed the subject, “Senior, is there still no news about the Gold Element treasure?”
“No, Erlang came here just now to report this matter. After searching for so long, he still hasn’t found a Gold Element treasure that meets your requirements, so I’m afraid this Great Ruins Boundary's already out of it.”
Yang Kai was slightly disappointed, but he quickly regained his composure and said, “Senior, please allow your subordinates to inquire about the whereabouts of the Yin-Yang Treasure. It also needs to be at least Seventh Grade.”
Zhu Jiuyin couldn’t help laughing, “That’s even more difficult. In the Great Ruins Boundary, there are more or less Seventh Grade and above treasure of the other five elements, but this Yin-Yang treasure is the only one I’ve never heard of. There are some below the Seventh Grade.”
“Senior understands my ambitions!” Yang Kai said solemnly.
Zhu Jiuyin replied, “I’ll have someone investigate, but don’t hold any hope.”
“Many thanks, Senior,” Yang Kai bowed and left.
After Yang Kai left, Zhu Jiuyin’s eyes flashed as she muttered, “Was the Moon Essence's Spirit not destroyed?”
When she heard Yang Kai mention that there was a strange voice in his head, she suddenly remembered the trace of spirituality she had seen in the Moon Essence. If Yang Kai had refined the Moon Essence, he must have also refined and absorbed that trace of spirituality. If it hadn’t been destroyed, perhaps it would have played havoc in his body.
However, telling Yang Kai about this would only make him worry, so she decided not to say anything. In any case, her goal was to let Yang Kai snatch that opportunity for her. Once she left the Great Ruins Boundary, whether Yang Kai lived or died had nothing to do with her.
Inside the secret room, Yang Kai was cultivating in seclusion to consolidate the Water Element force he had just refined. The most important thing was to activate the Defying Yin-Yang Five Elements Mysterious Universe Heart Scripture and try to transform this into his own instincts. If he could do this, he wouldn’t have to worry about suddenly falling unconscious. Under his instincts, even if he was in a coma, he would still be able to continue activating this technique so that the five elements in his Dao Seal wouldn’t fall into disorder.
Zhu Jiuyin’s million strong army had searched every corner of the Great Ruins Boundary, searching for Gold Element and Yin-Yang Treasures, but after two years of fruitless search, Yang Kai had some expectations at first, but gradually he gave up.
After cultivating for two years, his strength hadn’t improved much, but the Water Element force in his Dao Seal had been completely consolidated, allowing him to use it as he pleased. The Defying Yin-Yang Five Elements Mysterious Universe Heart Scripture's Secret Technique had basically become his own instinct.
He had a lot of contacts with Little Fatty Xu Zhen. That guy had been chosen by Zhu Yan as the Bearer, so naturally he had received a lot of support from Zhu Yan. According to him, Zhu Yan had countless rare artifacts in his possession, and in the past two years, he had almost fully condensed his Yin-Yang + Five Elements, allowing him to step into the Open Heaven Stage treshold.
However, the World Laws in the Great Ruins Boundary were extremely strange. Even if the Dao Seal was fully condensed, it would still be impossible to split open the heaven and earth and create a small universe within one’s body, making it impossible to break through.
However, his strength had definitely increased by several times, a far cry from before.
Xu Zhen, Ning Daoran, and the others were also in contact with him, and after asking around, Yang Kai found that it was just as this little fatty had said, all of the Cave Heaven and Paradise's disciples had been chosen by different Holy Spirits to be their Bearer, each of them cultivating in seclusion, greatly increasing their strength.
Gu Pan was captured by the One-Legged Bull, Qu Huachang was captured by the Feiyi, and Ning Daoran was captured by the Zhujian.
For these disciples of the Cave Heaven and Paradise, being strong was both a blessing and a curse. Fortunately, with the support of these Holy Spirits, each of them had lost several hundred years of hard work. Unfortunately, in this Seizing Spirit's War, they were only pawns in the hands of these Holy Spirits.
Everything was fine, but if they were to lose, the consequences would be dire, and countless people would die at the hands of these Holy Spirits.
Moreover, Xu Zhen had also said that there were definitely more than just these Holt Spirits in the Great Ruins Boundary. There were also many who had yet to show their faces, so they must have chosen many Bearer to secretly cultivate. These Bearer might have been unknown before, but now they would definitely soar to the sky, waiting for the Seizing Spirit's War to shine.
Yang Kai didn’t have any friendship with anyone else, even Qu Huachang. Yang Kai had only discussed the Great Dao of Yin and Yang fusion with her, but Gu Pan was the only one who came from Zhang Ruoxi’s ancestor's home. After learning that she was safe and sound, Yang Kai felt relieved.
He secretly made up his mind to ask her about Zhang Ruoxi the next time they met.
On this day, a fluctuation came from the communication bead and Yang Kai immediately picked it up and sent his Divine Sense into it.
Xu Zhen immediately sent a message, “Brother Yang, the Seizing Spirit's War is about to begin.”
Yang Kai’s heart trembled, “How do you know?” He hadn’t heard anything about this, and Zhu Jiuyin hadn’t told him anything about it.
Xu Zhen said, “The Zhu Yan told me that these Holy Spirits grew up here and are extremely sensitive to the changes in the Great Ruins Boundary. He said that in as short as a year or as long as three years, the Unaging Land will open, and at that time, the Seizing Spirit's War will begin. At that time, we Bearer will compete for the opportunity.”
Yang Kai chuckled, “Then Brother Xu must be careful, I won’t show any mercy.”
Xu Zhen said, “Now that my strength has increased greatly, It's not impossible to be your opponent. Brother Yang should also be careful.” Changing the topic, he excitedly said, “We can finally leave this damned place.”
Yang Kai was stunned, “Leave?”
Xu Zhen said, “Does Brother Yang not know? After the Seizing Spirit's War, the Great Ruins Boundary will close, and all of us outsiders will be sent out. In other words, the opening of the Unaging Land is the sign of the Great Ruins Boundary closing!”
Yang Kai’s expression changed, “Is that so?”
“Just ask the Heavenly Moon Demon Spider and you’ll know. It’s always been like this.”
This was good news. Although the Great Ruins Boundary was a huge natural treasure trove, and he had obtained unimaginable wealth here, condensing the power of earth and water element, the Gold Element and Yin-Yang treasures had yet to be found, so it seemed that the Great Ruins Boundary was out of it and he could only rely on the outside world.
The sooner he left, the better it would be for him.
It was almost time for the Great Ruins Boundary to close.
It had been seven or eight years since this group of people had entered this place. The Zhu Yan had said that it would take at least a year, at most three years, to open the Unaging Land and close the Great Ruins Boundary.
After chatting with Xu Zhen for a while longer, Yang Kai put away his communication bead and left the secret room to find Zhu Jiuyin.
When Zhu Jiuyin saw him arrive, she was slightly surprised, but she still nodded and said, “You came at the right time, this Queen has something to discuss with you.”
Saying so, she suddenly glanced around.
Yue He and Lu Xue both said guiltily, “Young Master, please forgive us.”
In the blink of an eye, the two women made their moves. One of them reached out to touch Yang Kai’s forehead while the other pulled out a red diamond and wrapped it around his waist.
Yang Kai was baffled for a moment before suddenly becoming enraged, “I won't let you!”
His body trembled as raging flames burst out from his body. The two women let out a low cry and took a few steps back, their faces pale.
Before Yang Kai could ask anything, Zhu Jiuyin opened her mouth and spat out a spider web towards him.
