Under the Old Ancestor’s orders, although everyone was somewhat puzzled, they didn’t dare disobey. The Second Elder who had spoken before immediately took the initiative to leave the group and rush towards Gold Rainbow Province.
If the identity of the person who went to such a place was too low, they might not believe it. Great Elder Ling Chunqiu had died in the Void Land, so it was only appropriate for him to go as the Second Elder.
Looking back in the direction of the Sect’s foundation, the Old Ancestor let out a sigh. If he had known that the Boundless Altar would suffer today’s calamity, he would have broken through to the Seventh Order a long time ago to preserve this foundation that had been passed down for tens of thousands of years. But now, everything was too late.
Inside the Boundless Altar, everyone had left, leaving only the dozens of Open Heaven Stage masters Yang Kai had brought with him.
After Yang Kai went to meet with Boundless Altar's Old Ancestor, there was no movement from him, but under the perception of the several Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage masters, Yang Kai’s aura was quite stable and there were no signs of injury, so there was nothing to worry about. For the time being, they settled down in Boundless Altar. This place was quite rich in Spiritual Energy and although all the things they could take with them had been taken away, none of the buildings could be moved away. Everyone found their own accommodations and cultivated while waiting.
Two months later, a long howl rang out from the depths of the Boundless Altar.
Everyone turned to look in that direction.
Mao Zhe’s eyes narrowed slightly. From this continuous roar, he could clearly feel the joy in Yang Kai’s heart, as if he had gained a great harvest, and also… this guy’s cultivation seemed to be even more vigorous than before.
Mao Zhe couldn’t believe it.
Even though they were both Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage masters, he was well aware that once one’s cultivation reached this level, it would be extremely difficult to take another step forward. How could he have grown so much in such a short time? Was this guy really a monster?
However, what he didn’t know was that when he passed the Whirlwind Divine Ability and draw the Wind Spirit into his body, after Yang Kai killed so many Wind Spirits, his Small Universe was greatly nourished, saving him a hundred years of bitter cultivation.
When he met with Boundless Altar's Old Ancestor, although the two of them didn’t fight to the death, they still exchanged a few blows. Although the commotion wasn’t great and Boundless Altar's Old Ancestor was able to fully display his strength, he was still injured by Yang Kai.
If that wasn’t the case, how could Boundless Altar's Old Ancestor have ordered his men to evacuate so easily?
It was because he realized he wasn’t Yang Kai’s opponent that he retreated.
Just Yang Kai alone was not someone he could stop, not to mention that Yang Kai had brought so many Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage masters with him. If they really fought, Boundless Altar would likely be wiped out.
It was already a good ending for him to be able to safely leave.
During the few exchanges between the two of them, Yang Kai had suddenly gained some enlightenment, so he had hurriedly entered seclusion and only came out today.
His cultivation hadn’t actually increased by much. After all, he had just broken through to the Sixth Order, and with the nourishment of the World Force left behind by the Wind Spirits after their deaths, his foundation was already quite terrifying.
The reason Mao Zhe had such a feeling was mainly because his Sixth Order cultivation was becoming more stable, giving Mao Zhe such a feeling.
His figure flickered as he walked out of his retreat and was greeted by a group of people who had come out from their residences.
“Sect Master!” Hua Yong and his wife cupped their fists.
Yang Kai nodded slightly, glanced around, and ordered, “Destroy this place.”
As soon as everyone received this order, they immediately released their Divine Abilities. This Spirit Province, which had been passed down for tens of thousands of years, could be considered an extraordinary place. Over the past tens of thousands of years, countless Open Heaven Stage masters had died here. After their deaths, the Small Universe in their bodies had collapsed and the World Force had leaked out, slowly strengthening the foundation of Boundless Altar. It would be a pity to destroy it, but since Yang Kai had given the order, everyone could only obey.
It was not difficult to destroy a place with no one guarding it. With dozens of Open Heaven Stage masters working together, in less than two hours, the massive Boundless Altar had been reduced to broken Spirit Province pieces.
On the deck of the ship, Yang Kai stood next to the Proprietress and quietly watched this scene.
The Proprietress remained silent for a long time before letting out a long sigh.
She is not a violent person, and although she had a fiery temper, seeing this Spirit Province destroyed because of a single oath she had made, she couldn’t help feeling a little reluctant.
At that time, she had also been extremely angry, mainly because Old Bai’s breakthrough to Open Heaven had been disrupted and he had almost died. This was why she had made such a solemn vow to Ling Chunqiu and Qi Jin.
Now that she had been restricted by this oath, if she wanted to advance to the Seventh Order, she had to fulfill it.
Fortunately, Yang Kai’s method of resolving this matter was relatively calm and didn’t harm too many of Boundless Altar's innocent people, so it was still acceptable. She really didn’t expect that the shop assistant she had taken in on a whim would have such achievements today. Not only had he managed to dig himself out of Shadowless Cave Heaven, but he also had many masters under him!
In just a few short decades, this boy had walked a path that others would not be able to complete even after tens of thousands of years.
“Sect Master, Boundless Altar has been destroyed!” Hua Yong led a group of people back and reported.
Yang Kai nodded lightly, “Let’s go.”
With Boundless Altar destroyed, the next stop was Gold Rainbow Province!
The flying ship slowly accelerated, gradually transforming into a beam of light that shot towards the nearest Domain Gate.
The Proprietress suddenly said, “The old ancestor of Boundless Altar should have been able to advance to the Seventh Order a long time ago.”
Yang Kai was still in a daze, but when he heard this, he frowned and nodded, “I have the same feeling.” If the Proprietress didn’t mention it, he wouldn’t have thought too deeply about it, but now that he thought about it, Boundless Altar's Old Ancestor had indeed reached the peak of the Sixth Order and had reached the promotion stage to Seventh Order.
Although Boundless Altar was only a Second Class Force, after so many years of accumulation, they should have had enough resources to support that Old Ancestor’s breakthrough, but that old man had been stuck at the peak of the Sixth Order.
“Perhaps it’s because he’s not confident enough, or perhaps he’s too old and has lost his drive, so he doesn’t dare try,” Yang Kai said. Boundless Altar's Old Ancestor was not young, and his vitality were not at the peak, so breaking through to the Seventh Order was not the best time.
Advancing from the Sixth Order to the Seventh Order was definitely a process of rebirth. Once one succeeded, one’s strength would definitely increase greatly, and if one failed, their soul would scatter. If one didn’t have complete confidence in themselves, who would dare try to break through?
“This may be one reason…” The Proprietress said faintly, “There may be another reason, which is that he is unwilling to advance to the Seventh Order.”
Yang Kai asked curiously, “He is unwilling? Why not? When we cultivate, the higher we climb, the higher we look. Since we have the strength to climb, who would be willing to stop?”
On the side, Mao Zhe’s expression suddenly changed as he turned to look at the Proprietress and asked in horror, “Could that rumor be true?”
“What rumor?” Yang Kai asked curiously.
Mao Zhe’s brow wrinkled as he asked, “Sir, have you ever thought about why those second class forces have never had a High Rank Open Heaven master? According to the division of forces in these 3000 Worlds, any force with a Mid Rank Open Heaven master is a Second Class Force, and those with a High Rank Open Heaven masters are a First Class Force.”
“Since this is how it is divided, those Second Class forces will be promoted to First Class sooner or later, because after countless years of accumulation, there will always be people who can slowly reach the Seventh Order Open Heaven Stage.”
Hearing this, Yang Kai’s expression changed and he nodded, “Indeed!”
Although a Second Class Force couldn’t compare to the Cave Heaven Paradise, and their heritage wasn’t as rich as those of the Cave Heaven Paradise, it wasn’t a problem for them to raise some elite disciples to the Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage directly.
For example, the Zhou Yi that Yang Kai had encountered in the Blood Monster Cave Heaven was possessed by Black Crow Divine Monarch. He came from a second class force, the Great Thousand Blood Land. After Black Crow Divine Monarch seized Zhou Yi’s body, he used his physical body as a foundation to achieve the Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage.
In other words, Zhou Yi himself could also reach the Fifth Order. As long as he had enough luck and aptitude in the future, he would be able to reach the Seventh Order sooner or later.
Once he reached the Seventh Order, the Great Thousand Blood Land would become a first-class force, perhaps one day becoming Great Thousand Blessed Land.
Since ancient times, the Great Thousand Blood Land had not only nurtured a single Zhou Yi, but also hundreds or thousands of people. However, in reality, the Great Thousand Blood Land was still only a second class force and did not have a High Rank Open Heaven.
Most of the other second class forces were like this.
Where were all the elite core disciples who had broken through to the Fifth Order? It was impossible that none of them had broken through to the Seventh Order.
This was obviously impossible.
Thinking about it this way, there were many problems.
The Proprietress looked up at Mao Zhe and asked, “What rumors have you heard?”
Mao Zhe’s face sank as he continued, “In order to maintain their position in the 3000 Worlds, whenever an outsider advances to the High Rank, they will immediately act against them, either killing them in their cradle, or inviting those who have broken through to the High Rank to join their own Cave Heaven Paradise, strictly watching over them and not allowing them freedom!”
Hearing this, the faces of Hua Yong and the others changed drastically as they hurriedly asked, “Are you serious?”
He and his wife were both Sixth Order Open Heaven cultivators, so it was only a matter of time before they broke through to the Seventh Order. If what Mao Zhe said was true, then he should consider whether or not he should break through to the Seventh Order. Otherwise, once the couple broke through to the Seventh Order and attracted the attention of the Cave Heaven Paradise, things would become far worse.
Mao Zhe slowly shook his head, “I only heard about it, I don’t know if it’s true or false.”
If this rumor was true, it would explain why there were so many Second Class Sects in the 3000 Worlds that didn’t have a High Rank Open Heaven master. It wasn’t that no one had broken through to the High Rank, but rather that after they had broken through, they had all been brought to the Cave Heaven Paradise and carefully guarded.
Boundless Altar's Old Ancestor obviously had the ability to break through to the Seventh Order, but he was unwilling to do so, so it was likely he had some concerns.
Yang Kai’s face also became gloomy. Mao Zhe’s words reminded him of his own experience.
It was precisely because he wanted to break through to the Seventh Order directly that he attracted so much attention, forcing him to break through to the Fifth Order. Only then did the Myriad Demons Heaven's Ti Zheng and the others give up.
He want to directly broken through to the Seventh Order, but the Cave Heaven Paradise had refused to allow him to do so. They had tried to suppress him, others had spent countless years cultivating to the Seventh Order, and now the Cave Heaven Paradise were trying to suppress them…
This was too disgusting.
“Three people becoming tigers, a man’s words are nothing short of terrifying,” The Proprietress smiled bitterly and shook her head, “I have also heard of this rumor, many people believe it to be true.”
“Is it not?” Mao Zhe frowned.
“Of course not,” The Proprietress slowly shook her head, “Although the Cave Heaven Paradise is a bit overbearing at times, it can’t be so broad. If they even want to interfere in such matters, that would be too petty. With such a layout, how could it be a Cave Heaven Paradise?”
