Although Li Luoshui had escaped, this battle was not without benefits. At the very least, through this battle with her, Yang Kai was able to clearly understand his current limits.
Compared to a Seventh Order, even if it was a newly promoted Seventh Order, there was still a huge gap between them. After all, when he was facing Li Luoshui, he had joined forces with the other six Sixth Order masters to barely contend with her. The terrifying power contained in those fierce attacks caused his blood to boil and his mind to tremble.
On the other hand, after using the Azure Void Filling the Body Great Law, Li Luoshui had the ability to kill all of them.
However, because of the repercussions caused by this Forbidden Technique, Li Luoshui had no choice but to flee, otherwise everyone would have suffered heavy casualties.
Yang Kai couldn’t help feeling some lingering fear. The situation was just as the Proprietress had said, even a second class force like Gold Rainbow Province that had been in decline for countless years could have hidden a powerful force.
Boundless Altar was like this, and so was Gold Rainbow Province, so what about the other forces? Although it was impossible to find out, it was certain that there were many old monsters hiding amongst these forces.
If he were to encounter such a situation again in the future, he would have to be more careful lest he fail miserably.
…
Above the highest Spirit Peak in the Void Land, inside a palace, several dozen disciples were sitting cross-legged, each of them with a silver plate in front of them. The silver plate reflected the scenery of the endless Void.
The Void Reflection Technique was not a profound Secret Technique, but it was a good way to monitor the situation around them.
Previously, Gold Rainbow Province had used this technique to monitor the arrival of Yang Kai and the others and had taken precautions.
After the Void Land’s rapid development, it had gradually stabilized. After suffering another loss from the Hundred Force Alliance’s invasion, Bian Yuqing had established Heavens-Monitoring Hall, mainly to prevent enemies from invading and to investigate the situation in advance.
Inside Heavens-Monitoring Hall, there were dozens of disciples standing guard at all times to monitor the situation and prevent any intruders, but if there were any abnormalities, they could immediately contact the Elder Hall.
At this time, it wasn’t just the several dozen disciples who were guarding the Heavens-Monitoring Hall, there was also Yue He, a Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage master.
In Shattered Heaven, Yang Kai advanced to the Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage and entered Shadowless Cave Heaven alone. The entrance to Shadowless Cave Heaven was closed, so even if Yue He and Old Bai wanted to follow him, they were powerless.
Helpless, the two of them could only return to the Void Land.
From the day she returned, Yue He had been staying in the Heavens-Monitoring Hall for the first time to receive news of Yang Kai’s return.
She had always been on tenterhooks. After all, Shadowless Cave Heaven was famous for its viciousness, and it was a Universe Cave Heaven that could only be entered and not exited. Even if Yang Kai was proficient in the Space Laws, it might be impossible for him to escape.
This uneasiness had disappeared more than half a year ago because a piece of news had reached the Void Star City, allowing her to confirm that Yang Kai was safe and had returned.
So Yue He as been staying in the Heavens-Monitoring Hall along with Old Bai.
At a certain moment, a disciple in charge of monitoring a certain location suddenly rubbed his eyes and carefully looked at the silver plate in front of him before saying, “It’s coming, it’s coming, a ship is coming!”
With two swooshes, Yue He and Old Bai appeared behind the disciple at the same time and used their eyes to look towards the silver plate. Sure enough, they saw the reflection of a flying ship flying towards the Void Land.
The Void Land and Star City were not far apart, almost like neighbors. Under normal circumstances, even if there were outsiders, they would head straight to Star City, and only their own family would head straight to Void Land’s headquarter.
Recently, not many people had left the Void Land, so the possibility of Yang Kai returning was extremely high now that such a ship had arrived.
Yue He changed her hand seals and sent a stream of light into the silver plate. In an instant, the scene inside the silver plate rapidly expanded and soon, the scene on the deck of the ship became clear.
On the deck, a familiar figure appeared before Yue He’s eyes, causing her to cry out as she covered her red lips.
Old Bai also said excitedly, “He really came back!”
As soon as his voice faded, Yue He grabbed her dress and ran out, followed closely by Old Bai. A moment later, two streaks of light shot into the sky and a crack appeared in the Great Array.
The commotion caused by the activation of the Great Array alarmed Bian Yuqing, who was in the midst of handling some official business. She quickly rushed out and looked up, only to see Yue He and Old Bai hurriedly leaving. Her heart skipped a beat as she hurriedly sent a message to the Heavens-Monitoring Hall.
Soon, she get the response, the Sect Master returned!
Bian Yuqing let out a long sigh, her chest heaving up and down as a huge weight lifted from her heart. The Void Land was created by Yang Kai, so the composition of the members here wasn’t too complicated. One of them was a cultivator from the Star Boundary, with a total of six hundred thousand, which Yang Kai had brought with him when he returned to the Star Boundary.
However, although there were many of them, the strength of the Star Boundary’s cultivators was low, and there was not even a single Open Heaven Stage cultivator.
The other component was Blood Monster Cave Heaven's Ding Feng City. Although there were only a few thousand of them, almost all of the Open Heaven Stage cultivators in the entire Void Land came from Ding Feng City.
However, no matter which part it was, the one maintaining it was Yang Kai. If anything happened to Yang Kai, Bian Yuqing really didn’t know where the Void Land would go in the future.
Fortunately, the Sect Master had returned safely.
After pondering for a moment, a series of messages were sent out, and soon, the entire Star City became lively.
On the ship, Mao Zhe looked towards the majestic Spirit Province in front of him and asked, “Is this the Void Land?”
“That’s right!” Yang Kai nodded, “This is the Void Land. Entering my Void Land is an insult to the Great Mountain Lord?”
Mao Zhe said lightly, “Since we have already submitted to you, there is no need to mention the name of Great Mountain Lord. My three brothers and sister will not ask for anything in the future, we only hope that Sir will treat us kindly.”
“Good, good, good,” Yang Kai smiled slightly. Although Mao Zhe and the others had no choice but to submit to him, they had always been somewhat unconvinced, so how could Yang Kai not see this point?
However, as long as the Loyalty List is still in his hands, Mao Zhe and the others wouldn’t be able to stir up any trouble, so there was no need for them to worry about anything. The three of them were at least a Sixth Order, so they could display their strength at critical moments.
What’s more, Yang Kai had always treated others gently. Chen Tian Fei was the first one to leave his name on the Loyalty List, and Yang Kai had never treated him harshly, instead entrusting him with a heavy responsibility to look after the Gourd Vine.
As time passed, Mao Zhe and the others’ opinions naturally changed.
“The foundation is quite good, it’s a magnificent sight. Sect Master, our Void Land has a great Sect’s atmosphere!” Hua Yong was beaming from side to side. Before coming to the Void Land, he had been a bit worried about the foundation of the Void Land, but now that he looked around, he found that this place was indeed quite good. It was not a bad decision for him and his wife to join the Void Land. The Void Land was already quite extraordinary, and now with so many Sixth Order Open Heaven, their future prospects were quite promising.
Shu Mudan said softly, “This Great Array… seems to be somewhat brilliant.”
Yang Kai smiled and said, “Our Great Array is called Nine Layers Heaven, it is extremely unpredictable and powerful. Once, when the Hundred Force Alliance led by Heavenly Sword Union invaded, all of them were trapped inside the Great Array, unable to escape.”
“Nine Layers Heaven…” Mao Zhe muttered. His attainments in the Dao of Arrays weren’t very profound, just like Shu Mudan, who could tell that the Great Array was extraordinary, but he couldn’t see through it. Hearing Yang Kai say so, he couldn’t help having some expectations for the Nine Layers Heaven.
Being able to block the Hundred Force Alliance, this Nine Layers Heaven should not be too bad.
“What’s over there? It’s quite lively.” Shu Mudan turned her head to the side and asked curiously.
Yang Kai smiled, “That’s Void Star City.”
“Is that a Star City?” Everyone on the flying ship was shocked and couldn’t help glancing over towards the Star City, only to see a stream of people pouring in and out of the Void Harbor.
Such a scene undoubtedly showed how prosperous this Star City was, and its scale was not something an ordinary Star City could possess. Only a large Star City could compare to it.
Void Land's Star City was actually a large Star City?
Everyone glanced at each other, unable to believe what they were seeing. They couldn’t understand what had attracted so many cultivators and merchants to the Void Land’s Star City. It had to be known that every large Star City had its own unique characteristics, and only its own characteristics could attract merchants from the 3000 Worlds.
Being able to occupy such a large Star City showed just how deep the foundation of the Void Land was. Without a bit of strength, how could one swallow such a fat piece of meat? Sooner or later, it would be snatched away.
With such a Star City as a backing, Void Land’s financial resources were definitely extraordinary.
A strange light flashed across Mao Zhe’s eyes as he discovered that he had been underestimating this Void Land all this time. He had thought that this Void Land was just an ordinary Second Class force, but from the looks of it, he had been mistaken.
The Void Land was not something ordinary second class forces could compare with!
Just as they were speaking, the fog that shrouded the Void Land suddenly began to churn violently, as if some giant monster was about to break through it.
Everyone on the ship turned pale with fright as they quickly activated their strength to defend themselves.
When they looked up again, they saw a giant head suddenly emerge from the fog, its two round eyes like two suns, emitting a terrifying light and its mouth filled with sharp fangs, seemingly capable of swallowing the entire void.
The giant head seemed to be moving slowly, but in reality, it was extremely fast as it reached the front of the ship. Compared to this giant head, the ship was as small as a blade of grass in front of a giant tree.
A sense of horror rose up in everyone’s hearts. Mao Zhe and the others felt their bodies tense up as if they had been struck by lightning. They had no doubt that if this giant mouth opened, they would be swallowed whole.
“Oh, Little Boy Yang is back?” The big mouth opened and closed as it spoke.
On the deck, Yang Kai bowed, “Many thanks for Senior’s concern!”
“Oh, you’ve advanced to the Sixth Order?” The voice sounded again.
Yang Kai replied, “I had no choice but to act according to the situation.”
