Chapter 797

He had already fully understood the Nine Heavens Divine Skills in the Saint Tomb. What he lacked now was only proficiency and experience. With the Crazy Lion, a powerhouse equivalent to the Transcendent Third Realm, to practice with him, Yang Kai could hardly wish for anything more.

In the battle, the Nine Heavens Divine Skills shone with astonishing light. The more the battle went on, the more skillfully Yang Kai used them.

Those powerful Monster Races on the tree trunk could all see that something was wrong. The Crazy Lion was simply no match for the other party！

“Sister Caidie, this human is so interesting. How can he change so many tricks when fighting？” The cat-eared girl’s eyes were bright, as if she had seen something novel, and she praised repeatedly.

Caidie nodded slightly and patiently explained, “They humans don’t have our Monster Race’s inner alchemy and naturally strong physique, so they will display some things called martial skills, making good use of the true essence in their bodies. Even many human martial skills are formed by imitating the abilities of our Monster Race. When you fight with humans in the future, don’t look down on these, otherwise you will suffer a great loss.”

“En, I remember.” The cat-eared girl nodded heavily and suddenly said excitedly, “Sister Caidie, can we catch this human and let me play with him？ He can play so many tricks and must be very interesting to play with.”

Caidie was stunned, rubbed her forehead and said with a bitter smile, “I’m afraid this won’t work.”

“Why？”

“Because…” Before Cai Die could finish speaking, her expression suddenly turned solemn. She looked up at the top of Lei Mu Mansion and seemed to have received some instructions. Then she nodded seriously and said, “Yes！”

As she spoke, she gracefully stood up, coldly stared at the fierce battle below, and shouted sharply, “That’s enough！”

At the order, the Crazy Lion immediately retreated from Yang Kai’s side, looked at him with a strange expression, shook his head and said, “You are so powerful. Fortunately, I didn’t attack you rashly a few days ago. Otherwise, I’m afraid I would have suffered a big loss！”

“Brother Kuang is too kind. You are not bad either！” Yang Kai smiled and said.

“That’s right…” The Crazy Lion suddenly became complacent. But when he felt Cai Die’s cold gaze looking at him, his expression suddenly became embarrassed. He turned around and ran away. From a distance, his voice came over, “I’m going to patrol. The dense forest is not peaceful during this period of time！”

After he left, Yang Kai looked up at Cai Die and smiled, “I should have passed your test, right？”

“Clever as a dunce！” There was a look of disgust in Cai Die’s eyes. She said coldly, “Come with me. The Great Venerable wants to see you！”

As she spoke, the wings on her back flapped and she flew upwards.

Yang Kai nodded and quickly followed behind her. The few powerful Monster Races on the tree trunk watched him disappear, with expressions of unfinished business on their faces, as if they were not satisfied that the battle just now was not finished.

The cat-eared girl simply pouted her small mouth and looked at Yang Kai reluctantly.

Flying higher and higher, this ancient tree truly reached into the clouds, with broad and dense branches. As Yang Kai flew up with Cai Die, he also saw many Monster Races digging holes in the tree trunk to settle down, or building some tree houses on the tree trunk.

The entire ancient tree was like a big family, with the figures of Monster Beasts moving around everywhere.

Yang Kai felt inexplicably that there was a unique cohesion here!

Throughout the world, the number of Monster Beasts was large, but the number of Monster Races with enlightened intelligence was scarce, so compared to the Human Race and the Demon Race they were more united. Below the Great Venerable, everyone was as close as brothers and sisters.

Although the Crazy Lion seemed very panicked when he saw Cai Die, there were not too many cumbersome formalities. Among the Monster Races, everything that had nothing to do with survival and strength was unnecessary.

There were even fewer transformed powerful Monster Races. Most of them still maintained their beast bodies. Since entering the Beast Sea Forest until now, the number of transformed powerful beings Yang Kai had seen did not exceed ten.

Each one was a master.

The higher they flew, the denser the spiritual energy became. Moreover, Yang Kai keenly noticed that within the trunk of this ancient tree, there was a great deal of thunder essence contained.

Presumably, it was because of continuously attracting the power of the thunder from the Ninth Heaven over a long period of time that this ten-thousand-year-old Thunder Devouring Wood had been imbued with the aura of thunder.

After a long time, Yang Kai felt that he and Cai Die had stepped into the clouds. All around, there were clusters of white clouds that resembled cotton wool, within easy reach and extremely beautiful. Among those white clouds, there was a delicately crafted wooden house, which was standing on a slanted trunk of the ancient tree.

A long and profound aura that Yang Kai had to take seriously spread out from within that wooden house.

Yang Kai was secretly awe-stricken.

“Go in. The Great Venerable is waiting for you inside！” Cai Die stopped in front of the wooden house and instructed Yang Kai.

“Thank you！” Yang Kai nodded slightly at her and stepped inside.

Upon entering the wooden house, Yang Kai immediately saw a middle-aged man sitting upright in the middle of the room. This middle-aged man was rather handsome, wearing a simple linen shirt, looking harmless to humans and animals. However, on both sides of his forehead, there were two short horns that were less than one finger long.

Those two horns present red and blue (appeared in two colors, red and blue), and within them there was a rich amount of fire and thunder energy, and from time to time, a strange light would flash.

His true body is an eighth-order peak monster, the demon clan great sovereign of the Crimson Flame Thunder Dragon！

Yang Kai’s expression turned solemn.

The great sovereign slowly opened his eyes and looked at Yang Kai indifferently. There was no intention of staring him down, but under his gaze, Yang Kai couldn’t help but feel a bit uncomfortable, as if all his secrets were about to be completely exposed in front of him.

His heart froze, and he quickly sealed his sea of consciousness and restrained his own aura.

The great sovereign smiled slightly. Combined with his face, it was a bit charmingly evil as he asked, “You are that guy’s successor？”

“Yes.” Yang Kai nodded, knowing that the person he was referring to was the old saint master of the Nine Heavens Holy Land.

“Your cultivation is not as good as his, but your qualification is not bad.”

“Thank you for the great sovereign’s praise！”

“Then why did you come here？” The great sovereign continued to ask. “The Beast Sea Forest is generally not allowed for humans to enter. Those who dare to enter here have already become the food of my clansmen. Only because you are the successor of that guy did I not let them touch you. However, if you dare to make me unhappy, your end will definitely be miserable. I have a friendship with that guy, but it doesn’t mean I have a friendship with the power he belongs to. So… you’d better think carefully before answering.”

Although his tone was flat, Yang Kai could still hear the hidden impatience in it. Perhaps he felt that he was too young and his cultivation was not enough to talk to him on an equal footing.

Yang Kai chuckled, unperturbed and unafraid. He slowly took out the two Qiankun Pouches he brought with him and placed them in front of the Great Venerable. “I heard that the old Saint Master and the Great Venerable are on good terms. As his successor, I naturally have to pay a visit to the Great Venerable. After all, we may still have dealings in the future.”

The Monster Race Great Venerable sneered and didn’t even look at the two Qiankun pouchs. He said disdainly I am on good terms with him because his strength is recognized by me. What do you have that can be recognized by me? Maybe after a few hundred years, you will have this qualification, but now you… are not enough to look at.”

Yang Kai furrowed his brows. “A few hundred years？ It won’t take that long. At most, twenty or thirty years… I will have this qualification.”

The Monster Race Great Venerable smiled lightly and shook his head. “So arrogant… Then come back in twenty or thirty years, provided that you can live that long！”

He had a look on his face that Yang Kai would definitely die early and be reborn early, which made Yang Kai very unhappy in his heart.

Frowning, Yang Kai said, “Great Venerable, aren’t you interested in making an investment deal？”

“Investment？” The Great Venerable gave Yang Kai a sidelong glance and chuckled. “Invest in you？ Why should I do that？ I’m not interested in benefits that I can’t see.”

Before Yang Kai could answer, the Great Venerable added, “Your days are not easy now, are they？”

Yang Kai nodded slightly and asked suspiciously, “Has the Great Venerable heard the news of the Holy Land now？”

The Great Venerable slowly shook his head. “I have no interest in spying on matters over your side. However, that fellow came here once before his death and predicted the current situation.”

“The old Saint Lord predicted it?” Yang Kai was astonished.

“That’s right. He knew he didn’t have much time left. He told me that before he died, he should have dealt with the woman beside him as well. But after all, she was a woman who had accompanied him for a lifetime, and he couldn’t bring himself to do it. After his death, that woman would surely stir up a great deal of resentment… I think you should already be besieged by many people now.”

“So, the Great Venerable knows the purpose of my trip.”

The Great Venerable sneered and stood up. “I knew it as soon as you came. But unfortunately, I won’t help you, even if you can bring a lot of supplies that we don’t have to theDemon Race. The reason why ourDemon Race has been able to multiply for so long is not because of just a few powerful individuals, but because we don’t interfere in the affairs of other races. Once we leave the Beast Sea Jungle and enter your human territory, the situation will be beyond my control. Don’t you humans also have a saying, called ‘preserving oneself through wisdom’？ For the sake of that little bit of benefit, putting the entire clan in a dangerous situation, do you think that as the Great Venerable of theDemon Race, my vision would be so short-sighted？”

As he spoke, his eyes became sharp.

Yang Kai smiled bitterly. “Since Your Majesty is so well informed, there is no need for me to say anything more. In fact, whether you help me or not, the people in the Holy Land will not be in danger, and we have also decided to temporarily abandon the Holy Land. We will come back with a vengeance when we can accumulate enough strength one day. However, I don’t want the resources of the Nine Peaks to be taken advantage of by outsiders for nothing. I originally thought that since Your Majesty has a friendship with the old Holy Lord, I wanted to ask you to take care of it for a while. In this way, you can also take this opportunity to improve your strength.”

The Great Demon Venerable frowned and looked at him coldly, as if trying to see through Yang Kai’s true thoughts at the moment.

After pondering for a while, the Great Demon Venerable said, “The formations there are powerful, and the spiritual energy is indeed rich. If my clansmen can cultivate there, their strength will surely increase rapidly. However, this alone is not enough. We will not leave the Beast Sea Forest.”

What if I can leave all the alchemists in the Holy Land to you to assist you in alchemy? Yang Kai suddenly proposed. “As far as I know, there are no alchemists in your Demon Race who are proficient in alchemy, and even weapon refiners can be left to you. Before we come back, they can provide you with a lot of pills and secret treasures. Of course, you have to provide the materials. I think this shouldn’t be difficult for you.”
