However, Blood Monster Cave Heaven had only opened once every two hundred years, and throughout the endless years, no one had ever entered its deepest depths, nor had anyone ever found the Blood Monster Divine Palace.
In fact, no one even knew if this Blood Monster Divine Palace existed!
This reminded Yang Kai of the Jade he had spent ten million Open Heaven Pills to purchase. That Jade could be a key, or it could control some kind of Great Array, or it could even be completely useless. If there really was a place like the Blood Monster Divine Palace, could that Jade be of any use?
This made Yang Kai’s imagination run wild.
After half an hour, Yang Kai finished digesting the contents of the jade slip and solemnly put it away. Puzzled, Yang Kai asked, “Proprietress, so many people went to the Blood Monster Cave Heaven, why are there only tens of thousands of people who can enter?”
He couldn’t find an answer to this question in the jade slip.
The Proprietress looked up at the starry sky with a melancholic expression, seemingly recalling something as she said softly, “I can’t explain for now, you’ll know when we get there.”
Stroking her hair, she lazily said, “I’m tired. Old Bai, lead the way and call me when we arrive.”
Saying so, she found a room and disappeared.
Yang Kai looked at her back thoughtfully. Just now, the Proprietress had definitely recalled something, and it must have been something bad. Otherwise, her mood wouldn’t have suddenly dropped.
“Proprietress, she…” Yang Kai looked towards Old Bai and asked.
Old Bai sighed and said, “It’s probably because she remembered something from the past. The Proprietress has also been to the Blood Monster Cave Heaven.”
“Ah?” Yang Kai was startled.
Old Bai smiled, “The Blood Monster Cave Heaven opens once every two hundred years, so it shouldn’t be strange for the Proprietress to have entered. I heard that the Proprietress obtained a lot of benefits from the Blood Monster Cave Heaven, allowing her to advance to the Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage.”
Yang Kai immediately turned to look at Yue He. Yue He and the Proprietress had known each other since a long time ago, and from what he knew, these two had known each other all their life, so she was well aware of what happened to the Proprietress.
Yue He nodded lightly, a look of reminiscence appearing on her face, “Elder Sister and I have indeed been to Blood Monster Cave Heaven, otherwise with our backgrounds, we would never have such great achievements.”
Yang Kai suddenly understood. The Proprietress came from the Nine Nether Continent, and he had been to that place before. Although it was a good Universe World, it was nothing special, nor was it some powerful force’s Lower Realm.
The Proprietress and Yue He came from a place like this, so without some fortuitous encounter, it was impossible for them to reach the Fifth Order and Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage directly.
It seemed that Blood Monster Cave Heaven was likely the place where they would rise to power!
This reminded him of Lan Tingyu. Lan Tingyu was the Proprietress's younger brother, but his understanding of this man was limited. He only knew that this man’s appearance was similar to his own, and that he had also tried to directly achieve High Rank Open Heaven. There should have been some kind of unforeseen event that resulted in his failure, but he didn’t know why.
In the past, Yang Kai had also wondered where Lan Tingyu had obtained so many High Rank resources, but now it seemed that Lan Tingyu must have obtained a lot of benefits from the Blood Monster Cave Heaven. It was just that his actions had violated many people’s interests and status, ultimately resulting in him being unable to obtain any benefits.
Lan Tingyu’s previous mistakes were also something he needed to be wary of now. If one day he had to face the same situation Lan Tingyu had faced before, what would he do?
“Although there are many dangers in the Blood Monster Cave Heaven, with Young Master’s strength, it shouldn’t be a problem. You just need to be careful. Also, you must be wary of the elite disciples from the various Cave Heaven Paradise. Although they may not be as strong as Young Master, each of them has their own trump cards,” Yue He warned.
Yang Kai nodded, “Naturally I know this.”
It wasn’t like he hadn’t dealt with the elite disciples of the Cave Heaven Paradise before. He had encountered several of them when he was in the Great Ruins Boundary and knew that each of them had their own identity token, each of which was sealed with a Divine Ability bestowed upon them by their respective master, which could be used to save their lives at critical moments!
The Lotus Fall flew through the Domain Gates and passed through the various Great Domains. Everyone remained silent as they rested.
One day, Yang Kai, who was meditating, suddenly heard the Proprietress's voice and immediately got up and walked towards the room where the Proprietress was.
Pushing open the door, Yang Kai was just about to greet her when he saw that the Proprietress's face was pale and she was drenched in sweat, as if she had suffered some kind of great injury.
Yang Kai was shocked and quickly stepped forward, “What happened to you?”
The Proprietress slowly shook her head, “Nothing.” Saying so, she handed over a round bead, “Take this.”
“This is…” Yang Kai looked down. Although he couldn’t see anything, he could clearly feel that this bead contained a terrifying power.
“This bead contains a Divine Ability of mine. If you encounter any danger, use it to protect yourself.”
Yang Kai stared fixedly at the round bead in his hand and then looked at the expression on the Proprietress's face, immediately understanding, “Did you made this thing?”
Sealing one’s own Divine Ability into this bead was not an easy task, and even this bead was not an ordinary material. Otherwise, the Cave Heaven Paradise disciples would have more than one identity token as their trump card.
Looking at the Proprietress's current state, it was clear that sealing this Divine Ability had consumed a great deal of her energy.
“Are you crazy!” Yang Kai glared at her, “Although I’m only Half Open Heaven cultivator now, it’s not like you haven’t seen my abilities before. I’ve killed more than one Low Rank Open Heaven cultivator. No matter how dangerous Blood Monster Cave Heaven is, who can stop me?”
“Don’t be careless, Blood Monster Cave Heaven isn’t as simple as you think it is, you may encounter some kind of danger. With my Divine Ability to protect yourself, it will be much safer. Although this thing’s power is only half of mine, it should be more than enough to deal with the power of a Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage.”
Yang Kai didn’t know what to say.
The Proprietress handed over another item and said while panting, “Take this too.”
“What is this?” Yang Kai stretched out his hand and took it, discovering that it was an extremely strange Wooden Token. It was the size of a palm and looked quite old. There was a strange pattern engraved on the Wooden Token, seemingly a kind of totem.
“A favor!” The Proprietress said softly.
“A favor? Whose favor?” Yang Kai was confused.
The Proprietress didn’t say anything else and simply said, “In any case, just take it, it might be useful, just in case.” Saying so, without giving Yang Kai a chance to refute, she waved her hand, “Go out, I need to rest.”
A gentle force wrapped around Yang Kai and pushed him out of the door before slamming it shut.
Yang Kai held the Wooden Token and bead in his hand.
Half a month after setting out from Thousand Birds Star City, the Lotus Fall finally came to a stop. Old Bai, who was in charge of leading the way, let out a long sigh, “We’ve finally arrived.”
“We’re here?” Yang Kai’s brow rose as he quickly took out the Universe Chart to investigate.
A moment later, a look of shock appeared on his face. Because the Great Domain was actually called the Blood Monster Territory, and unlike the other Great Domains, this Blood Monster Territory didn’t have any forces, not even the Universe World where living creatures lived.
The entire Blood Monster Territory could be said to be devoid of life!
Yang Kai was greatly surprised.
It had to be known that no matter which Domain it was, as long as it was marked on the Universe Chart, there would definitely be large and small forces and many Universe Worlds. These forces and Universe Worlds were all recorded on the Universe Chart, and even the Great Domain where the Star Boundary is located was no exception, yet this Blood Monster Territory had nothing.
How could there be such a strange Great Domain in this world?
Seemingly seeing through his doubts, Old Bai grinned and said, “Blood Monster Territory used to be no different from other Great Domain. There were also some forces that survived here.”
Yang Kai asked, “Then how did it become like this?”
Old Bai said, “Naturally, it’s because of the Blood Monster Cave Heaven. Look outside.”
Yang Kai turned his head to look around and soon discovered a strange scene. As far as he could see, there were many flying artifacts shuttling back and forth in the void, and there were also some like the Lotus Fall who stay in the void. These flying artifacts were obviously owned by the forces who had rushed to Blood Monster Cave Heaven.
In addition to these artifacts, there were also many cultivators who were flying alone, constantly looking around as if they were searching for something.
“What are they looking for?” Yang Kai frowned.
Yue He walked over and whispered, “They are naturally looking for the entrance to the Blood Monster Cave Heaven.”
A curious look appeared on Guo Miao’s face, “Isn’t the entrance to the Blood Monstercave Heaven fixed somewhere? Why are they still looking around?”
This was also what Yang Kai found strange.
Yue He chuckled lightly, “At the beginning, the entrance to the Blood Monster Cave Heaven was indeed fixed in a certain place, but that should have been a long time ago. Everyone only needed to gather in front of the entrance and wait for it to open before entering, but as time passed, it gradually changed.”
“What changes?”
Old Bai continued from the side, “The entrance has become two, three, four… Each time they open, more entrances will appear, until now, the entrance to Blood Monster Cave Heaven may appear anywhere in the entire Blood Monster Cave Heaven!”
Guo Miao covered her red lips, “How could this happen?”
Old Bai sighed and said, “Rumor has it that this is a sign that the Blood Monster Cave Heaven is becoming more unstable. After all, Blood Monster Divine Monarch has died countless years ago. His Small Universe World no longer has a master, so being able to preserve it for such a long time is already quite rare. Naturally, it can’t exist forever. The Small Universe World and the Blood Monster Territory's void have fused together, so an entrance will appear where the two are fused.”
Yang Kai suddenly understood, “Does that mean that the Blood Monster Cave Heaven will one day completely merge with the Blood Monster Territory?”
“That may be the case, but who knows how long?” Old Bai shrugged, “It’s just that the changes have made it easier for more people to explore this place. Otherwise, do you think that such a good place would allow others to encroach on it? In the beginning, exploring Blood Monster Cave Heaven was exclusive to the various Cave Heaven Paradise, other forces can forget about interfering.”
