“Greetings, Supreme Elder!” Xu Linggong bowed respectfully.
Yang Kai, who was standing behind him, also quickly bowed. Hearing Xu Linggong’s greeting, how could he not know that this was Yin-Yang Heaven’s Supreme Elder? In the Cave Heaven Paradise, all who could hold the position of Supreme Elder were Eighth Order Open Heaven Stage!
This was the first time he had seen an Eighth Order cultivator. Although Bi Xi's true body should be no different from an Eighth Order, it was still a Holy Spirit and was somewhat different from an Eighth Order Open Heaven Stage.
Sneaking a glance over, he saw that this old man’s naked upper body was covered in criss-crossing scars, like a series of hideous centipedes crawling all over his body, the longest one extending from his left shoulder to his right hip.
Yang Kai was slightly surprised. An Eighth Order Open Heaven Stage was extremely powerful, so what kind of person could injure the Yin-Yang Heaven’s Supreme Elder to such an extent? One had to know that at the Eighth Order, one’s vitality was extremely vigorous and one’s recovery ability was extremely strong. Ordinary injuries wouldn’t leave any traces behind, but this old man’s injuries were still so shocking, so one could only imagine how serious they had been.
“What is it?” The Supreme Elder asked lightly.
Xu Linggong said, “Supreme Elder, this disciple wishes to send a junior into the Divine Weapon World. Supreme Elder, please open the world's entrance and open the passage.”
The Supreme Elder glanced at Yang Kai and frowned slightly, “This child… is not a disciple of my Yin-Yang Heaven?”
With his sharp eyes, he could tell at a glance that Yang Kai was not from Yin-Yang Heaven.
Xu Linggong replied, “Although he is not a disciple of my Yin-Yang Heaven, he is now the son-in-law of my Yin-Yang Heaven.”
“So that’s how it is!” The old man nodded slightly, “Since you’re the son-in-law of Yin-Yang Heaven, you’re also qualified to enter this Divine Weapon World. Do you have an order from the Headmaster?”
“The letter is here, please take a look!” Xu Linggong raised his hand and shot out a stream of light.
The old man caught the stream of light in his hand, glanced at it, and nodded, “No problem!” Saying so, he suddenly raised his hand and pointed to his side. Without a sound, a huge vortex appeared in the void, from which an extremely clear aura of Universe World emerged.
“Go, Small Source World is a very interesting place. Once you enter it, no matter what you encounter, don’t panic. Explore it thoroughly, there will be benefits for you!” Xu Linggong patted Yang Kai’s shoulder.
“Many thanks to Senior Xu and Supreme Elder!” Yang Kai nodded and plunged into the vortex, immediately feeling a sense of weightlessness.
After Yang Kai disappeared, the vortex slowly disappeared.
The Supreme Elder glanced at Xu Linggong and asked, “If you don’t leave him an escape mark, what if he dies inside?”
Xu Linggong smiled, “If he dies inside, it means he’s nothing special, naturally he’s not qualified to become the son-in-law of my Yin-Yang Heaven!”
“Good!” Supreme Senior no longer spoke, closing his eyes once more as his figure gradually disappeared.
…
“Eldest Senior Brother, Eldest Senior Brother, wake up!”
In a daze, it was as if someone was pushing him and calling out to him urgently.
Yang Kai slowly woke up and opened his eyes, feeling the world around him spin and his vision blur.
“Ugh…” Yang Kai held his forehead and groaned in pain.
“Eldest Senior Brother, don’t drink anymore. If you drink any more, you’ll die,” The voice that had awakened him spoke again.
The strong smell of alcohol lingered in his nose, and Yang Kai instinctively felt like he was drunk. He couldn’t help feeling a bit surprised. He wasn’t an alcoholic, and his cultivation had reached the Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage, so how could he possibly be drunk?
Just as he was about to use his strength to dispel the effects of the wine, his eyes suddenly widened.
He didn’t have much strength in his body, only a faint trace of energy flowing through his meridians and flesh. Compared to his powerful Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivation, this little bit of energy was almost imperceptible.
This shock was no small matter, and Yang Kai immediately sobered up.
Before he could figure out what was happening, he felt a sharp pain in his head as countless pieces of information flooded his mind, causing him to roar in pain like a wounded beast.
The person in front of him was startled and quickly called out, “Eldest Senior Brother, what’s wrong? Don’t scare me!”
After a while, Yang Kai gradually calmed down and stared blankly at the table.
He is called Yang Kai, but he was actually a disciple of the Void Spirit Sword Sect. This Void Spirit Sword Sect was a very small Sect with only a few dozen people in it. In the entire Divine Weapon World, there were countless such Sects. Because Yang Kai had entered the Sect a long time ago, he is the Eldest Senior Brother of this generation of disciples.
This Eldest Senior Brother has a gentle temperament and treated others kindly. His aptitude was considered quite good in the entire Sect, and the Elders of the Sect had placed high hopes on him, thinking that he was the only candidate to step into the Earth Rank in a hundred years.
Mortal, Earth, Heaven, and Spirit! The four great classes were distinct, each of them having nine levels. This was the difference in strength between the Divine Weapon World’s cultivators, while Yang Kai was only a Fourth Order Mortal Rank.
Originally, Yang Kai had lived up to the expectations of many of the elders in the Sect, working hard and cultivating diligently, but after meeting a woman a year ago, he had been completely infatuated.
A few days ago, because of jealousy, and he had been robbed of his love, causing him to become depressed and buy wine to drown his sorrows…
These pieces of information were all from the memories that Yang Kai had just collected. Everything was vivid and lifelike, as if it had happened to him before.
Was he… the Void Land’s Yang Kai or the Void Spirit Sword Sect's Yang Kai?
Yang Kai’s mind was in a mess. He clearly remembered that Xu Linggong had brought him to the entrance of the Small Source World to gain experience, so how had he suddenly become like this?
On top of that, Yang Kai was unable to use his vast ocean-like strength at all, but he could feel that it was still there, only suppressed by some unknown law.
Was this Small Source World?
He suddenly remembered what Xu Linggong had said before he left. Small Source World was a very interesting place, so no matter what happened, one should not panic.
Indeed… it was very interesting!
He thought back to the time when he had brought a group of his subordinates to explore the World Fruit. Each World Fruit was different. When Yang Kai had entered the World Fruit for the second time, he had transformed into a rusty sword with Lang Qingshan. It was a world of swords, and once, he had transformed into a few Monster Beasts with his subordinates. It was a world where Monster Beasts roamed freely…
Among these World Fruits, if one could find a way to leave the fruit world, they could leave the world and obtain the World Fruit.
From the looks of it, Small Source World’s existence was somewhat similar to the World Fruit, but also somewhat different.
When he entered this world, it was as if this Divine Weapon World had given him a new identity, the Eldest Senior Brother of the Void Spirit Sword Sect! This was an identity known to the entire world, so everything seemed natural.
“Eldest Senior Brother, how are you? Don’t scare me!” The figure in front of him was still shouting.
Yang Kai looked up and tried his best to focus his eyes. Only then did he clearly see that there was a petite and cute girl sitting across from him, staring at him nervously, her face filled with concern. The girl was about twenty or eighteen years old and her chest was quite big. She wore a light green dress that accentuated her slender waist.
Wan Yingying, the little Junior Sister of the Void Spirit Sword Sect! Yang Kai couldn’t help thinking of such a thought.
“It’s Little Junior Sister…” Yang Kai whispered, his tongue involuntarily twisting.
“Eldest Senior Brother, how are you feeling?” Wan Yingying asked with concern, “Are you feeling unwell?”
“Hmm… my head hurts!” Yang Kai rubbed his forehead, “Wait for a while, I’ll wake up!”
Wan Yingying quickly nodded, “Good, good, don’t drink.” Turning her head, she called out, “Waiter, give me a bowl of sobering soup!”
The nearby waiter immediately responded.
A moment later, a bowl of steaming hot sobering soup was brought over, and Wan Yingying personally fed it to Yang Kai.
Yang Kai sat still, combing through the countless pieces of information in his mind while circulating his strength to dispel the effects of the alcohol. Although his Fourth Order Mortal Rank cultivation wasn’t very powerful, it wasn’t weak among the younger generation, so it wasn’t a problem to speed up the dissipation of the alcohol.
The place he was sitting at should be a restaurant. The main hall was filled with guests, some were ordinary people, some were cultivators who had achieved great success in their cultivation, some were in groups of three or five, drinking.
“The once-in-a-hundred-year Divine Weapon Contest has finally ended. When these big shots fight, us mortals will suffer as well. This time, countless lives have been lost in the Divine Weapon Contest,” a voice came from the nearby table.
Yang Kai’s heart jumped as he quickly paid attention.
“There’s nothing we can do about that. The Divine Weapon Contest is the biggest event in our Divine Weapon World, and it happens once every hundred years. Obtaining a Divine Weapon is a supreme power, so how could those big shots not be tempted?”
“Speaking of which, my Divine Weapon World’s Ten Great Divine Weapon will change owners every hundred years. When will these days end?”
“Unless there is a heaven-defying person who can collect all ten Divine Weapons, perhaps they can resolve the suffering of this world.”
“What a joke!” Someone shouted, “It’s said that refining a Divine Weapon requires an endless amount of energy, and if one’s willpower is lacking, they will only become a puppet of a the Divine Weapon. If refining a single Divine Weapon is so difficult, who can gather ten?”
As everyone’s discussion reached his ears, Yang Kai’s brow twitched slightly.
This Small Source World was called the Divine Weapon World. Every hundred years, there would be a Divine Weapon Contest, and his purpose here was to refine a trace of this world’s power to strengthen his Small Universe's foundation.
From the looks of it, this Divine Weapon Contest seemed to be the key.
Perhaps if he obtained the Divine Weapon, he would be able to obtain a trace of the World Force from this Small Source World.
A hundred years… wasn’t a short time. He still had a lot of time to cultivate, and he didn’t need to worry about the outside world. Small Source World and World Fruit were similar, and the flow of time here was different from the outside world. A hundred years here was less than a year or even a month in the outside world.
Soon, he made up his mind to cultivate diligently and participate in the Demon Weapon Contest a hundred years later!
