Chu Liushan and Kong Feng’s auras also fluctuated as they prepared to attack. Guo Nu wore a difficult expression. Although he didn’t want to become enemies with the Proprietress, now that things had come to this, he could only stand on Chu Liushan’s side and sigh, “Junior Sister Lan, why must you do this!”
Yang Kai’s face became gloomy. If a conflict really broke out here, the Proprietress and the others would definitely suffer a loss. Although the Proprietress and Yue He were both Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage masters, they were still outnumbered. Not to mention that Chu Liushan and the others were all Sixth Order, their strength was not inferior to the Proprietress and Yue He’s. Even the Fourth Order and Fifth Order masters who were inspecting the flying ship were a force to be reckoned with.
It could be said that once they took action, the First Inn would definitely suffer a loss.
Yang Kai didn’t want to see the Proprietress, Yue He and the others suffer because of him, so he sighed in his heart. Being weak was truly a sad thing, even if he obtained good things, he couldn’t keep them.
Could it be that he really has to sell that Seventh Grade Core? Yang Kai was extremely unwilling. All the cultivation resources he had obtained along the way had a great deal of luck and opportunity.
The Wood Element’s power came from the Eternal Tree he had obtained a long time ago, and the Fire Element’s power came from snatching the Golden Crow’s corpse under the eyes of a group of Open Heaven Stage masters. It could be said that he had narrowly escaped death. On the other hand, the Earth Element was something he had manage to pick up, and refined from the Earth Dragon Bead, but it was also because Yang Kai possessed the Dragon Clan’s Source that he was able to find it. The Water Element was obtained from the Moon Essence and refined in the Great Ruins Boundary, he was also chased by the Leviathan Shark because of it. Yang Kai had refined a Seventh Grade Primal Yang Profound Ginseng, but he had also paid a great price.
After spending so much effort and struggling all the way to the High Rank Open Heaven path, wasn’t it all for the sake of a better future, to step into a wider world and see a more beautiful scenery?
This time, obtaining Seventh Grade Gold Element Core was also a coincidence.
Who knew if there would be such an opportunity again? What kind of dangers would he have to go through to obtain the resources he wanted next time? How long would he have to wait?
Now, as long as he could refine the Seventh Grade Core, he was only a step away from breaking through to Open Heaven! How could Yang Kai be willing to fail at this final step?
However, even if he was extremely unwilling, what could he do? In this current situation, unless he took out the Seventh Grade Core, a great battle was inevitable. In the end, the ones who would suffer would always be the First Inn.
The atmosphere was tense and the battle seemed to be on the verge of breaking out.
Yang Kai’s heart was filled with hatred. Even if he have to destroy the Seventh Grade Core, he would never sell it to Xuanyuan Cave Heaven or let Heavenly Sword Union obtain it.
At this moment, Senior Brother Mao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked, “Boy, do you have a Seventh Grade Core on you?”
Yang Kai looked up and calmly replied, “No!”
Senior Brother Mao nodded lightly, “Since there’s nothing else, it’s fine. You may leave.” Saying so, he waved his hand.
Everyone was stunned.
Kong Feng called out, “Brother Mao!”
Senior Brother Mao coldly asked, “What advice does Brother Kong have?”
Kong Feng said, “This child definitely has a Seventh Grade Core on him, we can’t let him leave just like that, otherwise he will become a great disaster in the future!”
Senior Brother Mao said, “He said he didn’t have it, but you insists he did. Do you want to snatch his Space Ring and investigate?”
“This…” Kong Feng was at a loss for words, thinking that he couldn’t do such a shameless thing. Yang Kai was still a junior after all, so how could he, a Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator, snatch someone else’s Space Ring in front of everyone? He had to at least show some face, otherwise he wouldn’t have sent a sound transmission to Yang Kai to ask for the Seventh Grade Core, instead directly asking for it.
“Junior Sister Lan, excuse me.” Senior Brother Mao cupped his fists towards the Proprietress and shouted towards the ship, “Are you done investigating? If you’re done, come back with me!”
The group of people who had just boarded the ship quickly jumped down and Senior Brother Mao waved his hand, “Let them pass!”
When he said he would let them pass, no one had any objections. Chu Liushan and Kong Feng glanced at each other. Although they were unhappy, they didn’t want to offend this Senior Brother Mao.
“Many thanks, Senior Brother Mao!” The Proprietress bowed to Senior Brother Mao before steering the boat towards the Domain Gate.
Before leaving, Yang Kai’s expression changed as he heard Senior Brother Mao’s voice transmission, “Good luck, little brat.”
Yang Kai nodded in thanks, knowing that if he hadn’t spoken at this critical moment, today’s matter wouldn’t have ended so easily.
After the flying ship passed through the Domain Gate and disappeared, Chu Liushan asked, “Brother Mao, I heard that several of your Great Battle Heaven disciples had some dealings with Yang Kai in Blood Monster Cave Heaven?”
Senior Brother Mao glanced at Chu Liushan and lightly said, “Brother Chu’s information is quite good, but if you have time to pay attention to my Great Battle Heaven’s disciples, you might as well think of a way to find traces of Black Crow Divine Monarch.”
Chu Liushan’s eyes flashed as he stared towards the Domain Gate and coldly snorted.
At the same time, on the ship, the Proprietress glanced at Yang Kai curiously, “You have some kind of connection with Great Battle Heaven?”
Yang Kai thought about it for a moment before replying, “Perhaps it’s because I saved a few Great Battle Heaven disciples in Blood Monster Cave Heaven.” He couldn’t help thinking about Bu Lianzhong and the others. Back in the swamp filled with Space Cracks, Yang Kai had brought out Bu Lianzhong and the others who had been trapped here, which could be considered a life-saving favor.
It was just that he had lost contact with Bu Lianzhong and the others at the Blood Lake.
Yang Kai didn’t pay much attention to such a trivial matter, saving Bu Lianzhong and the others was just a matter of convenience. He had never expected to reap the benefits of such a great battle here.
The Proprietress suddenly understood and nodded slightly, “The people of Great Battle Heaven are all righteous and upright. Since you saved Great Battle Heaven’s disciple, it’s understandable for them to return the favor.”
Yue He asked, “Young Master, did you really obtain a Seventh Grade Core?”
Old Bai also looked over curiously.
Since they were all on the same side, there was no need to hide anything. Yang Kai nodded and said, “Yes, but it was also a stroke of luck. That Monster Beast was already seriously injured and I even used the Proprietress’s Divine Ability Bead to kill it.”
The Proprietress narrowed her eyes slightly and asked, “What are you lacking now?”
Yang Kai said, “After refining this Gold Element, all that’s left is Yin Element.”
Old Bai said in shock, “There’s actually only one type left…” How long had it been since Yang Kai entered these 3000 Worlds? Now, he was about to break through to Open Heaven!
Which Emperor Realm master didn’t need to spend a long time in order to break through to Open Heaven? Those who were able to refine the Yin-Yang Five Elements within a hundred years were extremely rare. On one hand, finding a suitable cultivation resource required time and effort, but on the other hand, no matter which cultivator it was, it was the same even for the disciples in the Cave Heaven Paradise. Unless they were like Qu Huachang and Gu Pan, who had been heavily nurtured by the Sect and had unlimited resources.
However, even for disciples like them, it would take some time to refine it, and after refining a certain type of energy, they would need more time to stabilize their gains. Practically every time they refined a new type of energy, it would take several years or more, while those with weaker aptitudes would need more time.
Soon, Old Bai became excited again, “Tsk tsk, directly becoming a High Rank Open Heaven master. Boy, you really want to reach the heavens in a single step!” If Yang Kai really could reach High Rank Open Heaven directly, it would be no different from reaching the heavens in a single step. Whether it was in terms of strength or status, it would be a world-shaking change.
The Proprietress and Yue He, on the other hand, didn’t show any joy, instead glancing at each other worriedly.
Yang Kai was already being stared at by the various Cave Heaven Paradise forces. Although not all Cave Heaven Paradise forces wanted to make things difficult for him, there were always a few. The reason why these masters didn’t take action now was because they still cared about their face and weren’t willing to bully the weak, and the main reason was because they felt that Yang Kai still needed some time to grow.
However, if news of the Seventh Grade Gold Element Core were to spread, it might force some people to take desperate measures!
“Boy, when you get back, go into seclusion and refine that Gold Element Core. As for that Yin Element… I’ll help you find it,” The Proprietress sent a voice transmission to Yang Kai. In the past, she had also advised Yang Kai not to take this path, but now that Yang Kai was walking further down this path, all she could do was try her best to support him. Although she might not be able to find a Seventh Grade Yin Element resource, she had more connections than Yang Kai.
“Yes!” Yang Kai replied respectfully. Suddenly remembering something, he quickly took out a few jade bottles and handed them over, “Proprietress, see if this thing is useful to you!”
These jade bottles were the Open Heaven Pills he had obtained from the Blood Monster Divine Palace.
The Proprietress took it suspiciously, opened the bottle, and quickly scanned it with her Divine Sense. Her expression quickly changed as she quickly sealed the jade bottle again and stared at Yang Kai in surprise, “Where did you get this?”
She was quite knowledgeable and could immediately tell that this Open Heaven Pill was extraordinary, so she naturally understood its true origin.
Yang Kai answered truthfully.
Hearing this, the Proprietress handed over the jade bottle again, “I don’t need this right now, you can keep it for yourself. If I really need it in the future, I’ll come back and ask you for it.”
Back then, she had directly broken through to the Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage. Only when her cultivation reached the Eighth Order Open Heaven Stage would she be considered to have reached her limit, so consuming this Open Heaven Pill before then was a complete waste.
However, after hearing what she said, Yang Kai knew that she was still limited by her previous Heart Demon Oath. If Golden Rainbow Province and Boundless Altar were not destroyed, she would never be able to break through to the Seventh Order. Otherwise, with these Open Heaven Pills, the Proprietress would be able to break through to the Seventh Order!
Sighing lightly, Yang Kai put away the jade bottle again, “When you need it later, remember to look for me.” Secretly making up his mind, after he broke through to Open Heaven, the first thing he needed to do was to destroy Golden Rainbow Province and Boundless Altar to relieve the Proprietress's Heart Demon Oath.
Old Bai seemed to have seen through Yang Kai’s thoughts and secretly gave him a look, his meaning clear. When the time came, he would definitely have to bring him along.
When he had broken through to Open Heaven back then, he had nearly failed because of Qi Jin from Golden Rainbow Province and Ling Chunqiu from Boundless Altar. If Yang Kai hadn’t given him the World Source Liquid, how could Old Bai have achieved what he had today? Such a blood feud was something he would never forget, and sooner or later he would have to repay it.
