Within the stream of light, a figure could be vaguely seen.
Yang Kai looked up, but before he could see who it was, he heard an angry shout from the front, “Little thief, where do you think you’re going?”
As soon as he finished speaking, he sent out a powerful punch.
Under the pressure of the World Force, even the void trembled slightly.
Yang Kai was confused, vaguely feeling that this person had mistaken him for someone else and caused some kind of misunderstanding. Before he could speak, he saw the other party’s attack and could only raise his hand to block.
Rumble... The opponent’s attacks were fierce, and Yang Kai was able to counter all of them in a matter of seconds.
“Hm?” The man suddenly let out a cry of surprise, as if he had discovered something new and his strength suddenly increased.
If the strength he had displayed before was only at the Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage, then it was now at the Sixth Order!
Yang Kai didn’t expect to run into a Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator so soon after he left the Void Territory, and for some reason, this person had been holding back when he first attacked him, only letting go after sensing his strength.
Although they were both Sixth Order, Yang Kai wasn’t afraid of it and instead used his small universe's power to fight back and forth.
A moment later, the man suddenly waved his hand and retreated, raising his hand and shouting, “Slow down!”
Yang Kai’s pursuing figure suddenly came to a halt as he stared coldly at this person.
It was only at this moment that Yang Kai was able to clearly see what this man looked like. This man was tall and sturdy, and his hair was tied up in a bunch of small braids, giving him a strange appearance. However, from the fluctuations of this man’s strength just now, Yang Kai could tell that he was indeed a Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage master.
As their eyes met, the big man’s eyes revealed a look of scrutiny as he looked Yang Kai up and down before asking, “Is your excellency Liu Peiyuan?”
“What Liu Peiyuan? I don’t know him!” Yang Kai slowly shook his head.
“Aiya!” The big man slapped his head and looked towards Yang Kai with some embarrassment, cupping his hands and saying, “Sorry, sorry, I was blind and mistook you for someone else, causing a misunderstanding, please forgive me!”
Yang Kai’s brow wrinkled as he wore a look of displeasure. This guy had attacked him the moment he arrived, and although he didn’t have much killing intent, anyone who encountered such a situation would naturally be unhappy. Fortunately, both sides had only exchanged probing blows and hadn’t suffered any injuries, otherwise this misunderstanding would have been blown out of proportion.
Since he is in a hurry to leave, Yang Kai didn’t want to waste any more time with this man and simply nodded lightly, “Since this is a misunderstanding, let’s just forget about it. Farewell!”
He turned around and left.
The burly man called out behind him, “Take care, friend, I won’t see you out.”
Only when Yang Kai’s figure disappeared from sight did the big man rub his chin and reveal a look of interest, “Interesting!”
Standing in place, he took out his Message Bead and sent out a message. A moment later, a stream of light flew over and landed beside him. It was Su Yingxue.
“Have you tried?” Su Yingxue asked.
The big man nodded, “I tried.”
“How is it?”
“The information is wrong, Junior Sister.” The big man scratched his head and looked in the direction Yang Kai had left, “Didn’t the information say he had reached the Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage?”
“Is it not?” Su Yingxue frowned. Qu Huachang had seen Yang Kai reach the Fifth Order with her own eyes, and this matter had also been confirmed several times by the higher-ups of Yin-Yang Cave Heaven. After all, besides Qu Huachang, there were four other High Rank Open Heaven masters who had seen Yang Kai break through to Open Heaven.
“Heh heh, he’s not some Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage,” The big man grinned, “This guy is a Sixth Order!”
“Impossible!” Su Yingxue glared at him, “Did you recognize the wrong person?”
The burly man slowly shook his head, “You’ve already given me his image, how could I have mistaken him for someone else? When I fought him just now, I was also shocked and almost lost to him. The strength he displayed was not something a Fifth Order could possess. Although I didn’t use my full strength, he was still able to fight me equally. If this isn’t a Sixth Order, what is?”
“How could he be a Sixth Order?” Su Yingxue was stunned.
According to the information she had obtained, Yang Kai was indeed a Fifth Order, and he should have just advanced two years ago. In such a short time, it was impossible for him to advance from Fifth Order to Sixth Order. In this world, no one could advance one grade in such a short time.
Unless… Yang Kai had achieved the Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage and not the Fifth Order.
However, this didn’t make sense. Qu Huachang may concealed this matter for Yang Kai, but the High Rank masters present at the time would never have made a mistake.
“Isn’t that good?” The big man grinned, “Although Fifth Order and Sixth Order his only one grade apart, their strength is worlds apart. Originally, I was worried that he would suffer a loss during the Dao Exchange Conference, but now it seems that he still has some hope. Although Fifth Order is not bad, in terms of the Dao Exchange Conference… it’s still a bit weak.”
Su Yingxue thought about it and nodded slightly, “This is indeed a pleasant surprise.”
“We’ve already tried, it’s time for us to return to the Sect. Let’s go,” The big man called out and took the lead, Su Yingxue following closely behind.
Yin-Yang Cave Heaven held a Dao Exchange Conference to select a husband for the Sect’s Core Disciple, Qu Huachang. Heroes were posted throughout the 3000 Worlds, and now that the date was approaching, countless flying artifacts from various great regions headed to the Yin-Yang Territory.
Along the way, Yang Kai saw many different kinds of flying artifacts flying towards the Yin-Yang Territory.
This was the first time he had visited the Cave Heaven headquarter, so he was extremely curious about Yin-Yang Cave Heaven. He really wanted to know what kind of foundation the top forces of these 3000 Worlds had, and what the gap between his own Void Land and theirs was.
A month later, there were only two major domains left from the Yin-Yang Territory, and the number of flying artifacts he encountered along the way increased.
Yin-Yang Cave Heaven is one of the 36 Cave Heaven, and its reputation is well known. If those Second Class forces could use this opportunity to win beauties and form a relationship with the Yin-Yang Cave Heaven, it would be worth it no matter how much effort they had to put in. Therefore, on the various flying ships, there were many Fourth Order, Fifth Order, and Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivators.
If one’s strength was too low, they wouldn’t be qualified to participate in this Dao Exchange Conference.
In the distance behind Yang Kai, two figures followed him. It was Su Yingxue from Yin-Yang Cave Heaven and the brawny man with long braids.
At this moment, Su Yingxue was beginning to believe the big man’s words. Yang Kai was probably really a Sixth Order! After all, the two of them had been chasing after Yang Kai for more than a month, yet they had been eating dust behind him. With such speed, it was impossible for him to possess a Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage.
The two of them held their breath and tried to catch up to Yang Kai, but the distance between them only grew further. Originally, they could still see him from afar, but now they couldn’t even see him.
Seeing that they were about to enter the Yin-Yang Territory, Su Yingxue’s expression suddenly changed as she took out her Message Bead to investigate. Immediately after, she stopped and shouted, “Despicable!”
“What’s wrong?” The big man didn’t understand and also stopped moving, turning his head to look.
“Take a look for yourself.” Su Yingxue handed over the Message Bead and the big man took it. After examining it for a moment, his expression became ugly, “These guys dare to play like this?”
Su Yingxue coldly snorted, “They don’t want their own Sixth Order Open Heaven Staeg masters to marry into my Yin-Yang Cave Heaven, so they can only use these despicable methods to eliminate their opponents in advance. How shameless!”
“What did the Sect say?” The big man asked.
“I don’t know, I’ll ask about the situation first.” Su Yingxue slowly shook her head, took back her Message Bead, sent out a message, and stood in place quietly.
A short while later, two figures flew over from afar and quickly landed in front of the two, cupping their fists and greeting, “Greetings, Martial Aunt and Martial Uncle!”
The two people who had come were a man and a woman, both of whom were Fourth Order and looked quite intimate, most likely a couple. Many of Yin-Yang Cave Heaven disciples were like this, once they found someone they liked and settled down for life, they would come in pairs.
“What’s the situation now?” Su Yingxue didn’t waste any time and directly asked.
The man replied, “Reporting to Martial Aunt, the Domain Gates that lead to the Yin-Yang Territory have been sealed, and all the ships entering and exiting have been thoroughly inspected. Anyone who discovers a Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator will be challenged!”
“Which family is it?” Su Yingxue asked again.
The man casually called out the names of a dozen or so Cave Heaven Paradise before continuing, “These people were sent to participate in the Dao Exchange Conference.”
Su Yingxue coldly snorted, “They really have a good plan!”
The Dao Exchange Conference was meant for Qu Huachang to choose a husband, and the winner of the first place would be able to obtain a beautiful woman. High Rank Open Heaven wouldn’t participate in such an event, and a Fourth Order was a threshold. Logically speaking, the only one who could win first place was a Sixth Order!
No matter who it was, if they didn’t have a Sixth Order cultivation, they definitely wouldn’t be able to win first place.
However, even for a Cave Heaven Paradise, a Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage was a rare power. No one was willing to marry their hard-earned Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage into Yin-Yang Cave Heaven, so a Sixth Order Open Heaven was the bottom line they could accept.
In order to prevent their disciples from encountering a Sixth Order enemy during the Dao Exchange Conference, the dozen or so Cave Heaven Paradise had joined forces and sealed off all the major Sects that had entered the Yin-Yang Cave Heaven. Once they discovered a Sixth Order, they immediately tried to drive them away.
In this way, the highest cultivation of those participating in the Dao Exchange Conference was only at the Fifth Order! The disciples from the Cave Heaven Paradise wouldn’t feel too much pressure competing with each other. At that time, no matter which side won the first place, they would only have to pay a Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage.
“Did the Sect say anything?” Su Yingxue asked seriously.
The disciple replied, “The Sect naturally discussed this matter with the dozen or so representatives from the other Sects, but they also acted appropriately and did not force them to leave. Instead, they sent out a Sixth Order cultivator to exchange pointers with them so that they would retreat. As such, the Sect cannot say anything.”
Su Yingxue gritted her teeth and said, “Exchanging pointers? How can the Sixth Order cultivators of other families be compared to them? Why don’t they also expel the Fifth Order cultivators? Wouldn’t it be better if the Fourth Order Open Heaven Stage participated?”
The disciple said awkwardly, “They probably want some face.”
“They’re already shameless!” Su Yingxue was furious.
The brawny man with a full head of pigtails shrank his neck. The current situation was quite troublesome. If only a Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator was participating in the Dao Exchange Conference, it would be a joke. At that time, would they really allow Little Girl Qu to marry a Fifth Order?
