Yang Kai coldly snorted, “That’s what I wanted to ask you.”
Upon closer inspection, he discovered that Black Crow Divine Monarch’s vitality had been greatly damaged and his entire body was covered in blood, as if he had been under great pressure.
It seemed that although this guy knew about the mysteries of the Nihility Formation, he must have expended a lot of effort to come out from it. After all, he had possessed Zhou Yi’s physical body while Zhou Yi was just a disciple of the Great Thousand Blood Land. The strength he had condensed was quite different from Yang Kai’s, so these injuries should have been caused by him passing through the Nihility Formation.
Thinking back to this fellow’s previous Blood Oath, Yang Kai’s expression became serious. Why should he be afraid of him? In this Blood Monster Divine Palace, he was restricted by his own Blood Oath. As long as he didn’t provoke him, he definitely wouldn’t attack him. With a flick of his wrist, Yang Kai put away the Divine Ability Bead the Proprietress had given him and coldly asked, “Black Crow, where are the others?”
Black Crow Divine Monarch chuckled and said, “You already know the answer, but you still ask. Where you came from, they will naturally be there.”
Sure enough! Previously, Yang Kai had suspected that after entering the Blood Monster Divine Palace’s gate, everyone would fall into that white world, but now that he had obtained Black Crow Divine Monarch’s confirmation, he realized that his guess was correct.
Yang Kai couldn’t help gnashing his teeth in hatred. The Nihility Formation was incredibly strange and dangerous, if one fell into it, their life would be in danger.
It could be said that everyone had been played by Black Crow Divine Monarch and had helped him to open the Blood Monster Divine Palace in vain, only to be trapped inside the Nihility Formation.
Yang Kai wished he could use his Azure Dragon Spear to stab this guy to death!
“This Monarch is truly surprised that you were able to escape in such a short time, you really are extraordinary,” Black Crow Divine Monarch looked at Yang Kai in admiration. He had come here because he knew about the mysteries of the Nihility Formation, but Yang Kai obviously didn’t know anything about it, yet he was still able to come here. This kind of aptitude and comprehension was simply astonishing.
Yang Kai gritted his teeth and said, “I just want to know how to get them out.”
Black Crow Divine Monarch chuckled, “You want to save them? Simple, just refine this Blood Monster Divine Palace. As long as you refine it, not to mention saving some people, even controlling the entire Blood Monster Cave Heaven won’t be difficult.”
Yang Kai’s body shook, “So you want to seize the Blood Monster Cave Heaven?” From the meaning of his words, this old dog obviously wanted to refine the Blood Monster Divine Palace and seize control of the Blood Monster Cave Heaven.
How could Yang Kai tolerate this? If Black Crow Divine Monarch really managed to accomplish this, everyone in Blood Monster Cave Heaven would be under his control!
“Why else do you think this Monarch spent so much effort?” He looked Yang Kai up and down and said in a low voice, “Junior is a promising talent. In the future, your achievements will be limitless. If you can submit to this Monarch, this Blood Monster Cave Heaven will definitely have your share, how about it?”
“Good!” Yang Kai readily agreed, “First tell me how to refine the Blood Monster Divine Palace.”
Black Crow Divine Monarch sneered, “This opportunity is right in front of you, yet you don’t know how to grasp it. Junior’s vision is too short, sooner or later he will die!” Saying so, his figure shook and he transformed into a blood cloud, rushing backwards.
Yang Kai shouted, “Where do you think you’re going?!”
At this moment, he couldn’t care less about this fellow’s previous Blood Oath. He immediately activated his Space Laws, wanting to seal this world, but the blood cloud suddenly exploded, transforming into dozens of blood clouds that shot out in all directions.
Although Yang Kai had imprisoned most of the blood light, there were still some who had escaped.
Whoosh… The bloody light transformed into a pool of blood that flowed into the hall, but Black Crow Divine Monarch had disappeared.
Yang Kai grit his teeth, knowing that Black Crow Divine Monarch wasn’t afraid of him, but rather was in a hurry to refine the Blood Monster Divine Palace and didn’t want to tangle with him any longer. How could Yang Kai endure this? He immediately chased after him.
Currently, he was the only one in the entire Blood Monster Divine Palace who could move freely, apart from Black Crow Divine Monarch. If he couldn’t stop him, once Black Crow Divine Monarch refined the Blood Monster Divine Palace and gained complete control of the entire Blood Monster Cave Heaven, everyone would be enslaved by him, living a life worse than death!
However, Yang Kai didn’t know where Black Crow Divine Monarch was going. The hall was connected in all directions, and there were many tunnels leading in all directions, so Yang Kai could only find a single direction to follow.
After rushing out of the hall, Yang Kai arrived in front of a long corridor lined with rooms.
Frowning slightly, Yang Kai arrived in front of a house and after checking with his Divine Sense to make sure there was no danger inside, he pushed open the door and entered.
Seeing this, Yang Kai was stunned for a moment. This should be a woman’s room, but he didn’t know who it belonged to. The room’s furnishings were filled with the aura of a woman, but after a long time, everything inside had decayed. Yang Kai pushed open the door and a gentle breeze blew, turning many things into dust.
Yang Kai swept his eyes around and after confirming that there was nothing of value here and that Black Crow Divine Monarch was nowhere to be seen, he immediately retreated.
Pushing open the door to another room, he found that it was similar to the first.
After searching through the rooms one by one, Yang Kai found nothing. This place seemed to be filled with women’s private rooms. Yang Kai secretly guessed that this was where Blood Monster Divine Monarch's harem used to be.
Blood Monster Divine Monarch was an Eighth Order Open Heaven Stage master after all, so it wasn’t strange for him to have some women around him. However, since Blood Monster Divine Monarch had passed away, it was impossible for his women to still be alive.
After passing through this palace, Yang Kai arrived at another hall. This hall occupied a vast area and was surrounded by many strange stones that had not been destroyed for many years.
Looking around, Yang Kai couldn’t help shivering.
There were many cages in this hall, and inside these cages were the bones of many Monster Beasts, some the size of a palm while others were several dozen zhang tall. It was easy to imagine that countless Monster Beasts had been imprisoned here a long time ago, but as time passed, these Monster Beasts had reached the end of their lives and eventually died here.
Yang Kai walked over to a cage and examined the skeleton, discovering that there was a dim round bead inside. With a thought, he took it out.
After examining it for a while, Yang Kai let out a sigh. This dim round bead was actually the Monster Beast’s Core. From the faint aura left on it, this Monster Beast was at least a Fifth Order Monster Beast when it was alive, but it had been too long since the Monster Beast’s Core had been properly preserved and its energy had mostly dissipated.
Such a Monster Beast’s Core didn’t have much value.
Passing through the main hall, Yang Kai found a number of Core that has lost its value, some of which he even suspected were Seventh Order Cores. This made him very distressed. If these Cores still had value, then he wouldn’t need to worry about his cultivation resources anymore.
This seemed to be the place where Blood Monster Divine Monarch studied Monster Beasts.
Blood Monster Divine Monarch was proficient in the Blood Dao and Beast Taming. Not only that, but he was also able to cultivate pure Monster Beasts in the Blood Monster Cave Heaven. This showed his supreme attainments in the Beast Taming Dao.
Except for the Blood Monster Cave Heaven, the Monster Beast Cores in the outside world are very complicated, and very few cultivators could directly refine them. However, the Monster Beast Cores in the Blood Monster Cave Heaven were different; they could be used as cultivation resources for cultivators.
If this method were to be spread out, it would definitely be a great treasure for those who lived in the Cave Heaven Paradise.
Since this was the place where Blood Monster Divine Monarch studied Monster Beasts, could there be some kind of information left behind by him? Yang Kai’s heart jumped as he began searching carefully.
A moment later, he really found a few jade slips here and carefully picked them up. After making sure they weren’t damaged, he sent his Divine Sense into them.
A moment later, a look of joy appeared on Yang Kai’s face. Although this jade slip didn’t have a complete description of how to cultivate these Monster Beasts, it did have some scattered records.
There were many things Yang Kai couldn’t understand, but it didn’t matter. Beast Martial Great Emperor Mo Huang should be very interested in this. He is a Great Emperor that's proficient in Beast Taming after all, so if he could obtain these things, it would definitely be of great help to him.
After carefully putting away the jade slips, Yang Kai circled the hall once more to make sure he hadn’t missed anything before continuing deeper.
There were many halls and houses here, but most of them were empty. Apart from those jade slips, Yang Kai didn’t find anything of value.
It wasn’t that there weren’t any good things here, it was just that many of them had lost their spirituality after so many years. For example, the Cores Yang Kai had seen before were all at the Seventh Grade, but they had long since become useless and were simply worthless. He had even found some artifacts that were of high grade, but their spiritual light was dim and couldn’t be refined.
It could be seen that Black Crow Divine Monarch had just been making a big deal out of nothing, simply wanting to use everyone’s strength to break the Blood Monster Divine Palace’s seal.
At this moment, it was unknown where he was hiding. Perhaps he was refining the Blood Monarch Divine Palace!
Even if Yang Kai wanted to find him, he had no idea what to do and could only take things one step at a time.
At a certain moment, when Yang Kai pushed open the door to a room, he was surprised to find a large Alchemy Furnace with many wooden shelves around it, each of which was filled with herbs and jade bottles.
Is this Pill Refining Room?
Yang Kai’s heart skipped a beat. Blood Monster Divine Monarch was an Eighth Order Open Heaven Stage, how could something he had placed here be bad!
However, after checking it out, Yang Kai was disappointed again. Although there were a lot of herbs on this wooden shelf, and they were all of high quality, with some preservation methods and restrictions, it had been too long, and many of the restrictions had lost their effect, causing the medicinal properties of these herbs to fade.
On the other hand, Yang Kai was looking forward to seeing those jade bottles.
After a series of inspections, he finally obtained some results. Most of the Spirit Pills in the jade bottles had become useless pills, but Blood Monster Divine Monarch's Alchemy skills seemed to be quite good, so many of the Spirit Pills here had Pill Veins.
On the other hand, once a pill gave birth to a Pill Veins, it would become spiritual and no matter how long it is, its medicinal efficacy would not fade. If it had Pill Clouds, it would be even more incredible, and as time passed, its medicinal efficacy would constantly increase.
