“Zhu Jiu Yin, I’ll teach you a lesson sooner or later!” Standing in the sky, Yang Kai gnashed his teeth and secretly swore.
Previously, Zhu Jiu Yin had told him that this Void Land was not simple and wanted him to investigate it carefully, so Yang Kai naturally didn’t dare to be negligent. This place is his foundation in the 3000 Worlds. Not to mention anything else, the six hundred thousand people he had brought with him from the Star Boundary is still living here. If something were to happen, how would he explain to the Star Boundary?
However, after examining it for several days, he found nothing.
Speaking of which, he had lived here for quite some time and hadn’t noticed anything unusual about the Void Land. This place was at most a Second Class Force’s headquarter, so what was so special about it?
He took Zhu Jiu Yin’s words seriously because she is a Holy Spirit, so perhaps she had sensed something.
But now, it seemed that this woman was either misleading him or he was not capable enough. Yang Kai estimated that the previous possibility was big, which made him very unhappy.
After a few resentful words, Yang Kai gave up on the idea of continuing his investigation and went to find Second Chief Manager Bian Yuqing, informing her that he was going into seclusion for a while and that if there was nothing important, he should not be disturbed.
Bian Yuqing naturally agreed respectfully.
Yang Kai returned to his own residence and entered a secret room. Opening the seal, he sat down cross-legged and calmed his mind for three days before solemnly taking out the Seventh Grade Gold Element.
The Core was the size of a fist and was completely golden in color. A rich and pure Gold Element energy lingered around it, and when his Divine Sense probed it, he could clearly feel the tremendous energy contained within.
Yang Kai was overjoyed, but his expression remained calm.
It wasn’t easy to obtain such a thing, it could be said that it was all luck. He had originally hoped to find the resources he needed in the Blood Monster Cave Heaven, but who would have thought that he wouldn’t get what he wanted. When the Blood Monster Cave Heaven collapsed, he had completely given up all thoughts of obtaining it, but now that there was no way out, he had encountered the Golden Wolf King, who had suffered a serious injury. The Golden Wolf King had swallowed the Golden Baboon King’s Core and had broken through from the peak of the Sixth Order to the Seventh Order.
He still had the Divine Ability Bead the Proprietress had given him!
Speaking of which, the Golden Wolf King was able to defeat the Golden Baboon King and advance to the Seventh Order because of him. If it weren’t for the battle between him and the Golden Baboon King in Ding Feng City, these two peak Sixth Order Monster Beasts might not have been able to fight to the death. After all, they had fought for so many years, and neither of them could defeat the other. It could be said that their strengths had always been equal.
It was because of the battle between Yang Kai and the Golden Baboon King in Ding Feng City that the Golden Baboon King’s strength had been greatly reduced, allowing the Golden Wolf King to have a chance to succeed!
All kinds of coincidences allowed him to obtain this Seventh Grade Gold Element Core.
Now, it seemed that there was no need for him to go to the Gold Antelope Paradise. Yang Kai had originally planned to make a trip to the Gold Antelope Paradise if the Blood Monster Cave Heaven didn’t have any gains, but now, there was no need to trouble himself.
No matter how indifferent he appeared on the surface, Yang Kai still felt a little excited in his heart, because as long as he could refine this Core, he would only be a step away from the Open Heaven Stage. Once he found a suitable Yin Element resource to refine, he would be able to open heaven and earth in his body and achieve Open Heaven Stage. At that time, with his foundation, he would be able to protect himself in the 3000 Worlds.
Taking a deep breath, Yang Kai closed his eyes. Before refining this Gold Element Core, he still needed to make some preparations.
Among the Yin-Yang + Five Elements forces, he first refined the Wood Element, then the Fire Element, then the Earth Element, but when it came to the Gold Element, he was stuck. Fortunately, Zhu Jiuyin had passed him a set of Defying Yin-Yang Five Elements Mysterious Universe Heart Scripture, allowing him to condense the Water Element and refine the Yang Element.
However, although the Defying Yin-Yang Five Elements Mysterious Universe Heart Scripture was amazing, it required a cultivator to constantly divert a part of their attention to maintain it. Once it was interrupted, it would cause the Yin-Yang + Five Elements to become chaotic and the Dao Seal to tremble.
After refining the Water Element, Yang Kai split a portion of his consciousness to constantly circulate the Defying Yin-Yang Five Elements Mysterious Universe Heart Scripture. When refining the Yang Element, Yang Kai split a portion of his consciousness again.
It could be said that Yang Kai had always been in a state where he could multitask at the very least. If it was any other cultivator, this would have been a great burden on their body, because it was extremely taxing on one’s mind to constantly multitask. If one’s Soul force wasn’t strong enough, it would be impossible to achieve such a state, let alone continue fighting.
Perhaps it wasn’t too difficult to perform three tasks at once in a short period of time, but the difficulty lay in not being able to stop and having to maintain it at all times.
Fortunately, Yang Kai’s Soul Force was far stronger than that of his peers, so there was no mistake.
Now that he wanted to refine the Gold Element, he had to divide his attention.
Yang Kai’s Divine Sense surged and his consciousness split as he activated the Defying Yin-Yang Five Elements Mysterious Universe Heart Scripture. Holding the Seventh Grade Core with both hands, Yang Kai activated the power of his Dao Seal and absorbed the Gold Element energy from the Core.
The Gold Element is sharp and specialized in killing, the Gold Element is naturally extremely sharp. As soon as he absorbed a trace of the Gold Element's power, Yang Kai felt a sharp pain in his flesh and meridians, as if a needle had entered his body, piercing through his meridians and blood, piercing towards the Dao Seal.
Yang Kai’s face twitched slightly as he endured the pain.
Soon, an almost undetectable golden aura appeared in the Dao Seal, causing it to tremble slightly. The Wood, Fire, Earth, and Water Element also seemed to become somewhat active.
Yang Kai didn’t know if he was imagining things, but he didn’t have the time to investigate right now. Since he had already begun refining the Gold Element's power, he couldn’t just give up halfway and continuously use the power of his Dao Seal to absorb the energy from the Gold Element Core.
As time passed, Yang Kai felt as if countless tiny needles were drilling into his body, as if thousands of ants were gnawing at his flesh and blood, constantly suffering unbearable pain.
However, the golden aura in the Dao Seal also increased, and as the power of the Gold Element increased, the other elements within the Dao Seal became more active, and the vibrations of the Dao Seal became more obvious.
The five elements is a whole, and the process of a cultivator breaking through to Open Heaven was to completely integrate this whole. Previously, the five elements in Yang Kai’s body were incomplete, so they were unable to complement each other and could only act independently. Now that Yang Kai had refined the Gold Element, he was finally able to gather the five elements power.
Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth gradually fused together into one entity, circulating endlessly and transforming into a mysterious cycle. The Dao Seal shook more frequently, its light flashing continuously.
With the refinement of the Gold Element, Yang Kai’s aura became stronger.
Refining a seventh grade resource wasn’t an easy task. If it was any other cultivator, they would have to be extremely careful, especially with Gold Element. Because it's killing power is too heavy, if he wasn’t careful, it would cause irreparable damage to his meridians and Dao Seals. At that time, he would die before he even had a chance to escape.
As such, the time it would take to refine it would naturally be extremely long. It would take at least three to five years, and at most ten years.
However, Yang Kai was not worried about this. His Dao Seal is extremely stable, and among the five elements, wood, water, fire, and earth had all been gathered, so he was very experienced in refining this kind of high rank resource.
As a result, Yang Kai’s speed didn’t slow down in the slightest, and the aura of the Gold Element Core in his hand began to disappear at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even its color gradually dimmed, replaced by a golden light from Yang Kai’s Dao Seal.
At a certain moment, when the last bit of the Core’s power in his hand was completely refined, Yang Kai felt an inexplicable sense of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders. Instinctively, he withdrew his divided consciousness and stopped the circulation of the Defying Yin-Yang Five Elements Mysterious Universe Heart Scripture.
Although this method had been interrupted, the power of the Dao Seal showed no signs of becoming chaotic. On the contrary, now that the Five Elements were in place, the power of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth were mutually suppressing each other, forming a strange cycle.
When cultivators refined resources, they had to do it step by step, but the Defying Yin-Yang Five Elements Mysterious Universe Heart Scripture had broken this order. Now that Yang Kai had all five elements, he naturally didn’t need this method to constantly stabilized the energy, allowing him to relax greatly.
Carefully feeling it, Yang Kai could clearly feel the five elements circulating within his Dao Seal, and as the five elements circulated, an inexplicable aura spread out from his Dao Seal. This aura had the feeling of a world, like the embryonic form of a world force, but it was not the true world force!
The combination of the five elements circulated endlessly within Yang Kai’s body, and the feeling of mutual suppression and mutual growth was even more amazing. Yang Kai had long ago experienced the world force. He was the master of the Mysterious Small World, so no matter what, the Mysterious Small World is still a world, so it naturally had its own world force. However, the Mysterious Small World was not his own, so the feeling it gave him was completely different from the one he was currently experiencing.
Yang Kai suddenly understood that this was a true Half Open Heaven!
Although he had previously refined five different types of energy and reached the standard of Half Open Heaven, because of the disorder in his body, he was unable to form an orderly cycle, so it couldn't be count as the real Half Open Heaven.
Right now, he could be considered to have stepped into the threshold of Half Open Heaven. If he could take another step forward, he would truly reach the Open Heaven!
Restraining his state of mind, Yang Kai immersed himself in this wonderful feeling, his Dao Seal constantly trembling. Every time it shook, it was as if it came from the depths of his soul. The circulation of the five elements and the resonance of his Soul gave him the illusion that this Dao Seal was about to transform into a world.
As for him, he was the creator of this world!
A feeling of dominating the world welled up in Yang Kai’s heart, causing his state of mind to fluctuate slightly. After refining the Gold Element, he had completely stabilized himself at the Half Open Heaven. Yang Kai felt that his strength had once again increased. Although it wasn’t too outrageous, it was definitely different from before.
More importantly, with all five elements, he now had another trump card.
Just as Yang Kai was about to try out the method he had not used for a long time, a soft sound suddenly came from his body. Yang Kai was slightly stunned, unable to react to what had just happened.
When the second sound rang out, Yang Kai quickly checked and was shocked.
