Chapter 782

One of the nine peaks, at the bottom of the mountain, Xu Hui and the others brought Yang Kai here and then stopped.

Yang Kai’s face was filled with suspicion. Looking around, in front of him was a huge bluestone, as if it had been cut, flat and smooth. The bluestone was covered with moss, and two magnificent characters were carved on it.

Holy Mausoleum！

Obviously, this was the entrance to the Holy Mausoleum.

Yang Kai couldn’t help but narrow his eyes. Although he couldn’t see any clues, faintly, he still felt some hidden energy fluctuations from the bluestone in front of him.

Xu Hui stepped forward and made several mysterious seal formulas. The bluestone suddenly became blurred, as illusory as the moon in the mirror and the flower in the water. After a while, in the center of the bluestone, a cave opening was revealed.

Yang Kai was slightly surprised and shouted in a low voice： “Void corridor！”

Xu Hui nodded slightly： “It can be regarded as such. Entering from here is the location of the Holy Mausoleum, which is also the burial place of the successive Holy Lords. It is a small profound world independent of this world. Every Holy Lord has to pass the test here before succeeding to the throne. Little brother, you must be careful when you go in later. In addition, no matter what, you must bring out the Holy Lord’s Spirit Ring worn by the old Holy Lord. That is the key to our Holy Land.”

“Yes, no matter what, you must come out alive！” Yu Ying solemnly exhorted.

“The future of the Holy Land depends on you.” Cheng Yuetong gently pursed her thin lips.

The others also had expressions of both anticipation and worry, staring blankly at Yang Kai.

Yang Kai swept a glance at them and hehe smiled： “I think you’d better pray that I don’t come out.”

“Why is that？” Xu Hui looked puzzled.

Yang Kai’s eyes were like electricity, coldly staring at them： “If I can come out, you’ll have a hard time！”

Everyone was stunned. Only then did they realize that he was still very disgusted with the fact that they forced him to enter the Holy Mausoleum. Before they could say more, Yang Kai had already plunged headlong into the void corridor.

“This future Holy Master… doesn’t seem to have much tolerance. Will he really hold us accountable for forcing him into the Holy Tomb？” Shi Kun furrowed his brows and said.

Xu Hui’s expression was also unpredictable. He sighed and said, “Youthful nature… still not mature enough.”

“Anyway, it was the Great Elder who proposed and ordered it. I just came to make up the numbers. If the future Holy Master really blames us, the Great Elder will bear the brunt of it all！” Meng Tianfei had a gloating expression on his face.

Everyone cast contemptuous glances at him.

……

Inside the Holy Tomb, as soon as Yang Kai entered, the void corridor behind him closed. The surroundings were filled with a green fluorescence, like a ghostly realm on earth. There were gusts of chilly wind in his ears, and faintly, one could hear the sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling, making one shudder with fear.

The light was not very bright, but it was just enough to see. Moreover, the energy of heaven and earth here was incredibly rich. It had almost condensed into clusters of snow-white clouds, floating in the sky and on the ground, as thick as cotton wool.

This was a rather mysterious small profound realm. Yang Kai had never seen a place with such rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It was almost comparable to the best earth veins. No wonder the old Holy Master of the Nine Heavens Holy Land chose to cultivate in seclusion here.

With such rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth, there was no need to take any pills or rely on spirit stones. One could just absorb it with an open belly.

This is indeed a great place for cultivation. Except that the atmosphere is a bit gloomy.

While vigilantly observing the surroundings, Yang Kai couldn’t help but change his complexion drastically.

In his perception, groups of extremely fierce and evil energies suddenly emerged from all directions and rushed towards him rapidly.

The birth of these energies is extremely strange. It seems that they have always existed and are just waiting for Yang Kai to arrive and then launch an impact.

Before Yang Kai had any time to react, those energies had surrounded him.

Yang Kai condensed his true essence to guard against any eventuality, but soon, he discovered something amiss.

Because these energies that gathered into groups only surrounded him and did not cause him any harm.

Frowning, Yang Kai carefully examined them. After a while, he couldn’t help but be a little surprised and amazed.

He found that there were a total of nine groups of these energies. Each group contained an extremely profound and mysterious artistic conception, which seemed both artificial and generated by heaven and earth, unfathomable.

The artistic conceptions contained in three of the groups of energies made him feel a bit familiar.

Cautiously releasing his spiritual consciousness, he probed one of the groups of energies. Immediately, he detected the trace of the Nine Heavens Divine Skill from it.

Mysterious Heaven Sword！

Yang Kai’s complexion changed slightly, and he had a vague guess in his heart. Tentatively, he probed the other energy that felt familiar, and sure enough, he discovered the artistic conception of the Netherworld Lock and the Jun Tian Yin from it.

These three divine skills were precisely the three moves that Yang Kai had learned from An Ling’er. He never expected to encounter them here.

In that case, the nine masses of energy in front of him were the nine moves of the Nine Heavens Divine Skill？ Yang Kai furrowed his brows slightly, guessing in his heart. He was almost certain that his guess was correct.

That old guy Xu Hui had also said that to enter the Saint Tomb, one must learn the Nine Heavens Divine Skill because only by relying on it could one enter safely.

The nine masses of energy surrounding him at the moment should be the difficult barrier hindering his progress. Without breaking through them, it was simply impossible to penetrate deep into the interior of the Saint Tomb.

Yang Kai instantly understood a hint of the mystery of this Saint Tomb. After thinking for a while, he simply sat cross-legged and focused his gaze on the mass of energy in front of him that was filled with the artistic conception of the Mysterious Heaven Sword.

The Nine Heavens Divine Skill was very strange. It could be used as a martial skill with true essence or as a soul skill, which was something that no other martial arts manual or secret technique could achieve.

To break through the difficult barrier in the front of him, the only way was to perform the Nine Heavens Divine Skill break the blockade of these energies, and open up a path of survival.

The power of his spiritual consciousness erupted suddenly, and the intangible spiritual consciousness suddenly transformed into a huge sword, charging towards one of the masses.

Silent and without a breath!

Even Yang Kai’s powerful spiritual awareness attack was like a stone sinking into the sea. Once it surged into that energy, it disappeared without a trace.

Yang Kai furrowed his brows and used the Mysterious Heaven Sword several more times, charging towards that specific energy mass, but every time there was no reaction at all.

Yang Kai suddenly felt that things might not be as simple as he thought.

Carefully recalling what Xu Hui and the others had said, as well as various news about the Nine Heavens Holy Land, Yang Kai’s eyes lit up and he thought of a possibility.

Could it be that his use of the Nine Heavens Divine Technique was not proficient enough, and he had not grasped the mysteries within, so he was unable to break the blockade of the energy in front of him？

His Nine Heavens Divine Technique was learned from An Ling’er. The extent to which she had comprehended it was the extent to which he could comprehend it. An Ling’er was not very old, and it was only natural that her comprehension was not thorough and profound enough.

Yang Kai had personally seen Nan Sheng Gu the Mysterious Heaven Sword. That move was completely ona different level from the one he had used, indicating that Nan Sheng Gu’s use of this divine technique had reached a state of perfection.

Moreover, before succeeding to the position of the Holy Lord of the Nine Heavens Holy Land in previous generations, they all had to enter the Holy Mausoleum. The cultivation bases of those people might not be higher than Yang Kai’s, and their strengths might not be greater than Yang Kai’s, but they had passed the test of the Holy Mausoleum. From this, it could be seen that the difficult pass in front of him had nothing to do with the level of strength. What mattered was only the degree of comprehension of the Nine Heavens Divine Technique！

Thinking of this, Yang Kai’s heart settled down, and he was no longer in a hurry to use his clumsy Nine Heavens Divine Skill. Instead, he immersed his mind in the energy filled with the artistic conception of the Mysterious Heaven Sword, relaxed his whole body, and carefully felt and spied on it.

As time passed, Yang Kai reaped huge benefits. His mind saw the birth and cast of the Mysterious Heaven Sword countless times in that mass of energy, and his understanding of its hidden mysteries became deeper and deeper. Soon, he had mastered it to the point of familiarity, as if he had branded this artistic conception into the depths of his soul.

When Yang Kai opened his eyes again, he found that the mass of energy in which his mind had been immersed had become traceable, and he could easily grasp the hidden mysteries and laws within it.

The power of his spiritual sense burst out again, and the Mysterious Heaven Sword appeared.

And this time it was the purest Nine Heavens Divine Skill, several levels higher than what An Ling’er had comprehended.

With a crisp cracking sound, the mass of energy suddenly shattered when it was bombarded by the spiritual sense.

A winding and tortuous path mysteriously appeared in front of Yang Kai, leading directly to the depths of the Saint Tomb.

Yang Kai smiled slightly and instantly understood what was hidden in this Saint Tomb.

People who haven’t practiced the Nine Heavens Divine Skill would probably be torn into pieces by those nine masses of energy if they wanted to enter here, but it’s different for those who have practiced it. As long as they can break any one of the moves they can find the way out.

Moreover, the more moves are cracked, the brighter and safer the way out will be!

Xu Hui is right. The Nine Heavens Divine Skill is indeed the key to enter the Holy Mausoleum.

Yang Kai didn’t rush to move forward but instead turned his gaze to another mass of energy.

Anyway, he has been forced by Xu Hui and others to enter the Holy Mausoleum. If he doesn’t get some benefits from here, wouldn’t it be too sorry for himself？

The Nine Heavens Divine Skill, each move is wonderful and all are supernatural powers. He has seen Granny Nan Sheng performs it many times and has long been extremely envious. Now that a great opportunity is in front of him, Yang Kai is not willing to miss it.

Not to mention that the more he crack the safer he will be when he enters inside.

Making up his mind, Yang Kai immediately began to spy on the mysteries of the other two moves of the Nine Heavens Divine Skill that he had learned.

Three to five days later, the Netherworld Lock was cracked, and another three to five days later the Jun Tian Attraction was cracked…

From then on, Yang Kai’s speed suddenly slowed down. He had learned the first three moves from An Ling’er and was relatively proficient. However, he had never touched the remaining six moves at all, so naturally, he had to start learning from scratch. Fortunately, the artistic conception and mystery contained in those energies were enough for him to spy and comprehend.

Cultivation knows no time, and this statement is absolutely true. Yang Kai was practicing the Nine Heavens Divine Skill in the Saint Tomb and had no idea how time was passing. However, the elders and protectors are waiting outside the Saint Tomb were literally: spending days like years), impatient and uneasy.

Just a few days after Yang Kai entered, everyone was still waiting expectantly, hoping that he would suddenly come out of the Saint Tomb, bring back the Saint Lord’s Spiritual Ring, and inherit the position of Saint Lord.

Ten days later, everyone gradually became anxious and worried. Although they didn’t say it out loud, everyone was guessing (guessing) whether Yang Kai had encountered some difficulties inside.

After a month, the atmosphere became heavy.

After two months, everyone’s expressions became sad (gloomy), and there was a sigh from time to time.

Three months, four months…

The number of elders and protectors staying here was getting fewer and fewer. Everyone seemed to feel that Yang Kai was no longer likely to appear.
