To those people, Yang Kai does have a life-saving grace on them. After all, if Yang Kai had not used the Mysterious Boundary Bead to bring them out, many of them would have been killed by the disappointed Holy Spirits.
However, now that Yang Kai had been regarded as a provocative person by some Cave Heaven Paradise, they might have to reconsider whether befriending him would bring any disaster to their Sect.
As such, even though Yang Kai had become the master of the Void Land and the destruction of the Hundred Force Alliance had greatly boosted the reputation of the Void Land, no one had come to visit him for so long.
Fang Yue was obviously not on this list. He was alone and had no ties to anyone.
If he remembered correctly, the Holy Spirit standing behind this guy was a Thick Earth Black Tortoise. Later on, he had obtained a Holy Medicine, Thousand Leaves Stone Lotus, in the Unaging Land, and his defensive capabilities had been impregnable.
There were many Holy Medicine in the Unaging Land, Yang Kai obtained Pu Baixiong and Little Mushroom, Fang Yue obtained the Thousand Leaves Stone Lotus, and a fellow named Xiang Ying obtained a Purple Bamboo. The Holy Medicine A' Ku was obtained by an unknown cultivator, while a man surnamed Gou obtained the Gourd Vine. However, he was killed by Yang Kai and the Gourd Vine fell into his hands.
Out of the six Holy Medicine, Yang Kai had obtained three of them, taking up half of the total.
Holy Medicines were born from the World's Spirit, and each of them had great uses. For example, the berries on Pu Baixiong’s head had unimaginable medicinal efficacies, allowing him to instantly become vigorous and lively. When he was being chased by Yin Xinzhao in the Blood Monster Cave Heaven, if he had one of Pu Baixiong’s berries, Yang Kai wouldn’t have been in such a miserable state.
Therefore, when he returned this time, Yang Kai ignored Pu Baixiong’s strong protest and took out a berries as a backup, causing Pu Baixiong to be angry with him for several days.
Little Mushroom is a Profound Bright Imaginary Mushroom and was born with the ability to create illusions. Now that Yang Kai had placed it in the Nine Layers Heaven Formation, it was like a tiger with wings.
The Thousand Leaves Stone Lotus had an unparalleled defensive ability, Xiang Ying’s Purple Bamboo was able to break through all laws, and the Gourd Vine was able to display the power of a Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator. The only thing Yang Kai couldn’t figure out was just what kind of use the Holy Medicine A’ Ku had, and its owner had never used it before.
Yang Kai had never thought of using his life-saving grace to do anything to these people, so when he first heard that Fang Yue had come to visit, he couldn’t react in time.
However, after pondering for a moment, he suddenly understood why this guy had come to find him.
If things were really as he had guessed, perhaps… the Void Land would have a new general in the future!
“If Sect Master doesn’t want to see him, this subordinate will reject him!” Seeing Yang Kai hesitate, Bian Yuqing thought that Fang Yue was trying to use this opportunity to curry favor with him, causing her to feel somewhat unhappy. Now that the Void Land was famous, it wasn’t strange for such a thing to happen.
Yang Kai smiled, “Invite him in.”
Bian Yuqing nodded and took out her communication bead to send out a message.
After an incense stick’s worth of time, a Void Land disciple led a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes into the guest hall. This young man was none other than Fang Yue.
Seeing Yang Kai, Fang Yue’s eyes lit up, a look of relief appearing on his face as he stepped forward and cupped his fists, “Senior Brother Yang!”
“Brother Fang!” Yang Kai nodded slightly.
Fang Yue looked at him in disbelief and said, “Apart from the Great Ruins Boundary, I didn’t expect Senior Brother Yang to achieve such great achievements in less than ten years. This Fang really can’t believe it. When I heard the name of the Void Land’s Lord, I thought it was the same name, but I didn’t expect it to really be Senior Brother Yang.”
“It was just a coincidence,” Yang Kai smiled and gestured, “Brother Fang, please sit down.”
Fang Yue didn’t stand on ceremony and sat down while a maid served him tea.
Yang Kai looked at him and asked, “Brother Fang, what advice do you have coming here?”
Fang Yue smiled awkwardly, “Senior Brother Yang is now the master of an entire land and has many masters under his command. Even a force like Heavenly Sword Union has fallen in the Void Land. I am just an unaffiliated individual with no roots, so how could I possibly have any advice for you? The reason I came here today is to thank Senior Brother for saving my life.”
Yang Kai secretly laughed in his heart, but on the surface he put on a serious face and said, “What happened that day was nothing more than a slight effort, Brother Fang doesn’t need to worry about it.”
Fang Yue said seriously, “To Senior Brother, it may be as easy as lifting a finger, but to us, it’s like saving us from a life or death situation. We were chosen by those Holy Spirits in the Great Ruins Boundary and they had spent a great deal of effort to nurture us, but in the end, we were unable to fulfill their wishes. If it weren’t for Senior Brother’s help, the consequences would have been unimaginable. I’m afraid we would have already been killed by the enraged Holy Spirits.”
Yang Kai smiled, “Not really, some Holy Spirits are quite easy to talk to.” For example, the Holy Spirit behind Gu Pan probably wouldn’t kill her, but the Leviathan Shark behind Lin Feng would definitely kill Lin Feng to vent his anger. The Holy Spirits had different temperaments, so their methods were naturally different.
“No matter what, I dare not forget Senior Brother’s life-saving grace!” Fang Yue said seriously, “This Fang is not someone who doesn’t know how to repay kindness. I will remember your kindness from that day. If Senior Brother has any requests, feel free to ask, this Fang will not refuse.”
Yang Kai smiled lightly, “Junior Brother is too serious, my Void Land is now peaceful, nothing much has happened.”
“Uh… no matter what it is, I still owe you a favor. If I don’t return it, this Fang won’t be able to eat or sleep in peace,” Fang Yue said sincerely.
“It really is nothing,” Yang Kai slowly shook his head.
Fang Yue hurriedly said, “When I came to the Star City’s Harbor, it was crowded with people. Do you need people to maintain order? Although this Fang’s cultivation is low, I can still provide some strength.”
Yang Kai said, “There are naturally people overseeing the harbor, so I won’t trouble Brother Fang to come. En, if Brother Fang is free, why not stay in my Void Land for a few days? I still have some matters to attend to, so I won’t accompany you for now.”
Saying so, he stood up.
Fang Yue immediately became anxious and rushed forward, grabbing Yang Kai’s sleeve and hurriedly saying, “Senior Brother, please wait!”
Yang Kai turned around and smiled at him, “Does Brother Fang have anything else to say?”
Fang Yue stammered, his face slightly red, unable to speak.
Yang Kai sighed, “Brother Fang, if you have something to say, just say it. Why beat around the bush?”
Seeing his expression, Fang Yue suddenly realized something and asked, “Senior Brother had already expected this?”
Yang Kai said, “I have some guesses, but I’m not certain, but now I can confirm that Brother Fang came here for the Heavenly Yuan Positive Seal Pill?”
Being exposed by Yang Kai’s words, Fang Yue’s face turned slightly red, appearing quite embarrassed. However, after thinking about it for a moment, he realized that in his current situation, only Yang Kai could save his life. Releasing his hand, he took two steps back and cupped his fists, “Senior Brother, Fang Yue came here to serve Senior Brother, please accept him!”
Yang Kai looked at him deeply and stretched out his hand, “Sit down and talk.”
The two of them sat down again.
Yang Kai slowly said, “Brother Fang being regarded highly by the Thick Earth Black Tortoise and even shoose you as his Bearer, naturally it's because you have a good aptitude, but a Sixth Grade Resource should be somewhat difficult for Brother Fang, but the Thick Earth Black Tortoise will not care about such things. It only hopes that Brother Fang’s strength will be as strong as possible so that you can win the first place in the Unaging Land's Seizing Spirit War. In the Great Ruins Boundary, the Thick Earth Black Tortoise helped Brother Fang forcefully increase his strength, right?”
Fang Yue blushed, “Nothing can be hidden from Senior Brother Yang.”
Yang Kai said, “I also stayed in the Great Ruins Boundary and was selected as a Bearer, so I naturally know all about this.” At that time, Zhu Jiu Yin had also wanted to forcibly increase his strength by making him condense a Sixth Grade resource, but she had been forced to give up by Yang Kai.
Considering that Yang Kai had originally refined a Seventh Grade resource and was quite strong, Zhu Jiu Yin did not force him.
As for the others, they didn’t have such luck. For example, Fang Yue and the others had all been force to condense a Sixth Grade resource by the Holy Spirit.
In this vast world, those who could condense a Sixth Grade resource and directly become a Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator were the core disciples of the Cave Heaven Paradise. Each generation only had a few people, such as Qu Huachang, Lin Feng, Ning Daoran, and so on.
Although Fang Yue and the others had good aptitudes and were highly regarded by the Holy Spirits, compared to Gu Pan and Qu Huachang, they were still a bit lacking.
Their limit should be the Fifth Order! If they forcefully condensed the Sixth Grade power, although they would be able to obtain greater strength in a short period of time and gain an advantage in the Seizing Spirit War, it would leave behind fatal after-effects!
This kind of backlash would only become more severe as their cultivation progressed. If one day they broke through to Open Heaven, they would undoubtedly die!
The leader of Emperor Heaven, Ding Yi, had been force to condense a Sixth Grade Fire Element by Bi Fang, but every time he used this power, he would suffer a different degree of backlash, making him look like a cooked crab, his entire body red and hot.
Yang Kai had once said that if Ding Yi didn’t advance to Open Heaven, he would be fine, but if he does, he would die on the spot.
Fang Yue was facing the same problem.
But now, the only thing that could help them was the Heavenly Yuan Positive Seal Pill in Yang Kai’s possession! This kind of pill could greatly increase the success rate of breaking through to Open Heaven. If Fang Yue and the others were to take one during their breakthrough, although it would not guarantee success, it would greatly reduce their chances of failure.
However, he was only an Emperor Realm master, so how could he have the capital to purchase a Heavenly Yuan Positive Seal Pill? After thinking about it for a while, he realized that only by relying on Yang Kai would he be able to survive.
Fang Yue smiled bitterly and said, “After ten years in the Great Ruins Boundary, this Fang has embarked on a path that others would not be able to complete in a hundred years. With the help of the Thick Earth Black Tortoise, I refined several different kinds of energy and advanced to Half Open Heaven. However, since I obtained it, I paid a great price for it. This Fang is well aware of my aptitude and knows that it is impossible for me to withstand the impact of advancing to the Sixth Order. With this Fang’s current situation, the best method is to advance to the Third Order. Perhaps I can still survive, but the chances are not high.”
It was easy for him to break through to the Third Order, as long as he could refine a Third Grade resource. The Yin-Yang + Five Elements Energy required to break through to the Open Heaven Stage was like a wooden bucket. The amount of water contained in the wooden bucket depended on the shortest piece of wood.
“However, with such a good starting point, how could this Fang be willing to become a mere Third Order?”
These words couldn’t help but resonate with Yang Kai. It was precisely because everyone had a high starting point that they didn’t want to achieve such low achievements.
