Zhu Jiuyin solemnly swore before withdrawing her Source.
Yang Kai also relaxed. Zhu Jiuyin was too strong, but swearing an oath with her Source was no joke. It was just like a cultivator swearing an oath with their own Dao Seal. If they didn’t have any special methods to avoid this oath, they would have to obey it, otherwise they would suffer a backlash.
As for a thousand years later… if you can beat me, we’ll see. Yang Kai grinned.
After everything was settled, Yang Kai no longer hesitated and raised his hand facing Zhu Jiuyin as he called out, “Come in.”
A ray of light shot out from the pattern and enveloped Zhu Jiuyin, drawing her into the strange space.
Yang Kai’s face instantly became as pale as paper as cold sweat dripped down his forehead. Even though he was mentally prepared, he knew that it would take a lot of energy to draw Zhu Jiuyin into that space, and he had nearly been drained dry.
In the next moment, Zhu Jiuyin’s angry voice rang out in his mind, “Why are these two little brats here? It's too crowded.”
Yang Kai didn’t want to move, so he simply lay there and weakly replied, “It’s just a ride, just bear with it.”
No wonder only one Holy Spirit would have the last laugh in the Seizing Spirit War. When he had taken in the Scarlet Flood Dragon and Earth Dragon, he hadn’t noticed it, but now that he had taken in Zhu Jiuyin, he immediately felt that this strange space was filled to the brim. It was no wonder Zhu Jiuyin said it was so crowded.
This strange space could only accommodate one Holy Spirit at most and could not accommodate a second one.
The cold wind blew and the fog is surging.
Yang Kai’s breathing gradually became even.
Not long after, the fog filled the entire Great Ruins Boundary, making it impossible to see anything.
It seemed like only a moment, but it also felt like many years had passed. When the fog dissipated again, Yang Kai suddenly heard a loud noise.
When he opened his eyes, he found himself standing in the middle of a void, surrounded by tens of thousands of cultivators. Some of them were shouting excitedly while others were crying tears of joy, as if they had been reborn, unable to suppress their excitement.
More than a decade ago, the fog of the Great Ruins Boundary had engulfed the entire Star City.
More than a decade later, the Great Ruins Boundary's fog sent them back.
Back then, there were more than a million people in the Star City, but now, only less than twenty or thirty thousand of them had survived. In ten years, many cultivators had died in the Great Ruins Boundary, but only a few had survived.
Yang Kai immediately checked his Mysterious Small World and found that he had brought back all the Holy Medicine he had obtained. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief. It seemed that the laws of the Great Ruins Boundary would not be able to intercept a non flesh and blood existence. If the Holy Medicine were to be cut off, Yang Kai would be depressed.
Pu Baixiong and the Profound Bright Imaginary Mushroom were one thing, but the gourd vine was a precious treasure.
Inside the Mysterious Small World, the Bearer were also calmly sitting in a certain area, either meditating or looking around curiously. However, as the master of the Mysterious Small World, Yang Kai had intentionally restricted their movements, so they were unable to see the entirety of the Mysterious Small World.
After experiencing the initial excitement, many cultivators scattered in all directions. It wasn’t easy for them to escape death, so they naturally didn’t dare to stay here any longer. If the Great Ruins Boundary's fog were to sweep back, it would be bad.
Wave after wave of cultivators bid farewell to each other before scattering in all directions.
Yang Kai waited for a long time before recovering some of his strength. With a thought, he released all the Bearer from the Mysterious Small World.
Several dozen people suddenly appeared and were unable to react. After a while, Xu Zhen asked in surprise, “Are we out?”
Yang Kai nodded and said, “Fortunately, the Great Ruins Boundary has closed, so we left safely.”
Xu Zhen turned his head to look at him, and seeing his miserable appearance, he couldn’t help being shocked, sighing, “Brother Yang has suffered!”
Although he didn’t know what had happened to Yang Kai before, he could guess that he must have suffered many hardships. After all, with so many Bearer entering the Unaging Land and only him coming out, the Holy Spirits definitely wouldn’t let him off so easily.
“Many thanks, Brother Yang!” Xu Zhen cupped his fists respectfully.
Everyone else also nodded, “Many thanks, Senior Brother Yang!”
If Yang Kai hadn’t hidden them in the Mysterious Small World, when they leave the Unaging Land, they would have been immediately found by the Holy Spirits behind them and many of them would have died. It could be said that Yang Kai’s previous actions had saved their lives.
“It's a matter of course,” Yang Kai replied.
“I’ve been away for many years, so the Sect should be worried. I’ll take my leave first. Senior Brother Yang, if you ever go to the Free and unfettered Territory, please come to the Free and Unfettered Paradise as a guest. This Ning will welcome you with open arms!” Ning Daoran placed his hand in front of his chest and sincerely invited him.
Yang Kai smiled and said, “36 Cave Heaven and 72 Paradise, I’ve long heard of them. If I have the chance, I’ll definitely pay them a visit!”
Ning Daoran nodded, turned around, and left.
“I also have to go back and report this matter. Yang Kai, I, Lin Feng, will definitely repay this favor in the future, don’t die too soon.” Lin Feng coldly snorted, cupped his fists, and chased after Ning Daoran.
“I’m leaving too. Little Brother Yang, come find me when you’re free,” Qu Huachang said as she flicked a token towards Yang Kai, “Hold this token, you can enter and exit Yin-Yang Cave Heaven freely.”
Yang Kai put away the token and nodded, “Senior Sister Qu, take care!”
After the three of them left, Xu Zhen and Gu Pan also left one by one. They were all from Cave Heaven Paradise, so it was understandable why they were in such a hurry to leave. The opening of the Great Ruins Boundary was a major event, and with so many people involved this time, everyone who came out alive would have an opportunity, especially the Bearer. All of them had great harvests, and many of them had condensed their Sixth Grade or Seventh Grade forces. They had to hurry back and report this matter to their masters. Perhaps these Cave Heaven Paradise would even be able to absorb many people here to strengthen their family’s foundation.
This kind of matter should not be delayed. The sooner they acted, the better. Once the news broke out, it would be too late to recruit them.
Before Xu Zhen and Gu Pan left, they also gave Yang Kai a token, telling him that as long as he was near their Sect, he could use this token to contact them.
Yang Kai naturally kept it carefully. He had originally wanted to inquire about Zhang Ruoxi’s whereabouts, but with so many people around, it wasn’t convenient for him to do so.
In any case, with the token given to him by Gu Pan, he could make a trip to Langya Paradise when he had time.
In the following days, one Bearer after another departed, each of them bidding farewell to Yang Kai before they left. They had reaped many benefits from this trip to the Great Ruins Boundary, so they naturally didn’t dare remain here for long to avoid any accidents.
Some of these Bearer were unknown, while others were elite disciples of various forces. As such, Yang Kai obtained a large number of tokens, a total of twenty or thirty.
Watching them leave, Yang Kai soon found himself alone.
Suddenly, Yang Kai’s heart skipped a beat. Although he had obtained unimaginable benefits in the Great Ruins Boundary, not to mention the massive amount of cultivation resources he had obtained, he had even managed to snatch a Holy Spirit and reach an agreement with it to protect him for a thousand years.
There were also the harvests he had obtained from the Unaging Land, three Holy Medicines, Taiti Clean Soul Water, sixteen World Fruits, and a World Tree root.
But in addition to these visible gains, there was also an invisible benefit.
This was the friendship of the so many Bearer!
These people had all received great support from the Holy Spirit in the Great Ruins Boundary, so if they could grow up, they would become famous and stir the wind and cloud! It was almost foreseeable that after hundreds or thousands of years, the Three Thousand Worlds would become their world.
Being in this age of turmoil, being fortunate enough to be one of them, Yang Kai couldn’t help feeling proud!
“Brother Yang, where are you going?” A figure flashed over, it was Ding Yi.
As soon as this fellow came out, he summoned his old subordinates. Emperor Heaven had originally been a large number of people, but it had suffered heavy casualties in the Unaging Land, and after he came out, they had been massacred by the Holy Spirits. Moreover, this was a loose organization, and the cultivators in the Great Ruins Boundary had only joined to survive. Now that they had left the Great Ruins Boundary, there were naturally many who were unwilling to stay.
Currently, there were only a few hundred people gathered around Ding Yi, all of whom had no family or background and had gathered together in the Great Ruins Boundary for warmth. Now that they had left the Great Ruins Boundary, Ding Yi waved his hand and called out to them.
Yang Kai nodded when he heard him, then shook his head.
Before he was swept into the Great Ruins Boundary, he could be considered a member of the First Inn, but at that time, Bai Qi had been plotted against when he is being promoted to the Open Heaven, so he had almost certainly died. In a fit of anger, the Proprietress had chased after Qi Jin and the others, and now that more than ten years had passed, no one knew what the situation was.
Ding Yi grinned, “If you don’t have a place to go, why don’t you cooperate with me?”
Yang Kai smiled, “Brother Ding, where do you want to go?”
Ding Yi proudly declared, “This time, we’ll find a Spirit Province and establish our own Sect!”
“Good ambition!” Yang Kai praised. If it was the previous Ding Yi, he definitely wouldn’t have been qualified, but he had also obtained great benefits in the Great Ruins Boundary. As long as he could break through to Open Heaven, he would at least be a Fifth Order or Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage master. Such a cultivation was enough to establish his own sect.
“If I can obtain Brother Yang’s help, it will be a big matter. If Brother Yang is willing to join us, this Ding will hand over the position of Chief!” Ding Yi’s eyes lit up as he looked towards Yang Kai expectantly.
Yang Kai’s ability was something he had witnessed with his own eyes, so he was naturally very confident in winning him over.
Yang Kai pondered for a moment before shaking his head, “I appreciate Brother Ding’s good intentions, but I have other matters to attend to, so I have no time to spare.”
Hearing this, Ding Yi’s face was filled with disappointment as he sighed, “That’s a pity.” However, he was naturally cheerful and quickly composed himself, “Since that’s the case, let’s part ways here, we’ll meet again someday!”
“Take care!” Yang Kai cupped his fists.
“Little ones, let’s go. Follow this Ding to make a name for ourselves and make the Three Thousand Worldd tremble beneath our feet, hahahahaha!” Ding Yi waved his hand and led the several hundred people away valiantly.
Yang Kai stared in the direction he had left and couldn’t help shaking his head with a smile. Ding Yi’s lofty aspirations made him envious, but he was also in trouble. In order to increase his strength, Bi Fang had condensed a Seventh Grade Fire Element for him, so his breakthrough to Open Heaven might not be so smooth.
