Chapter 1190

The reason why Chang Qi and Hao An have been unable to break through to the Void Returning Realm for a long time is that they are stuck at the bottleneck. The Heike family has no ability to purchase Void Condensing Pills for them. If there is no special opportunity, they will only be at the Third-Order Saint King Realm for the rest of their lives and will never be able to touch the wonder of the Void Returning Realm.

The reason why the two of them came to the Flowing Flame Sand Field was, first, to fulfill the agreement with Ian, and second, to look for an opportunity to break through.

And now, the small tree in front of them can easily help them break through the bottleneck. How could Chang Qi not be excited？

Just thinking that he and Old Hao could take that long-awaited step, Chang Qi couldn’t help but shed a few tears.

There is one more thing that Yang Kai didn’t tell Chang Qi, that is, the wonder of this Nine-Curve Crystal Jade Tree can help martial artists break through any bottleneck, whether it is a bottleneck in realm, martial skills, or spiritual consciousness. As long as it is an obstacle that troubles the progress of martial artists, it can help martial artists clear it all away. Moreover, the higher the strength of the martial artist, the greater the benefit will be.

When martial artists practice and pursue the way of heaven and martial arts, the more difficult it is to advance as they go further. It is not only the accumulation of time, but also the perception of the way of heaven and martial arts. The breakthrough of the Void Returning Realm is so difficult, and one can imagine how difficult the breakthrough of the Void King Realm is.

But the Nine-Twist Crystal Jade Tree can help warriors solve this problem.

It’s no exaggeration to say that it’s a priceless treasure. In a sense, it’s even more valuable than the Warm God Lotus. The Warm God Lotus can only be used by one person, but the Nine-Twist Crystal Jade Tree can be used by countless people.

“That explains why only weeds grow on the plain above and there are no spiritual herbs or elixirs.” Yang Kai smiled lightly.

Chang Qi asked reflexively, “Why？”

“Because where this thing exists, there can’t be any spiritual herbs or elixirs. It has already drained the celestial luck within a few hundred miles around here…” As Yang Kai was speaking, he suddenly frowned.

Chang Qi also clearly thought of something and quickly said, “But isn’t the heaven and earth spiritual object right here？”

Yang Kai slowly glanced at him and guessed, “That might not be any heaven and earth spiritual object.”

Anyway, with this Nine-Twist Crystal Jade Tree, the matter of the heaven and earth spiritual object had been forgotten by Yang Kai and Chang Qi. Chang Qi didn’t dare to touch this heaven and earth supreme treasure for fear that he would break through here, but Yang Kai had no scruples. Immediately, he held the Golden Sword and dug out a large piece of the holy crystal mine where the Nine-Twist Crystal Jade Tree was located and directly threw it into the Black Book Space.

In his spatial ring, he only put some unimportant things. All the important ones were hidden in the Black Book Space.

“Elder Chang, I’ll keep this thing for now. When you go back, I’ll take it out and return it to you. It will definitely help you break through to the Void Returning Realm.” After all, this thing was found by Elder Chang. Although Yang Kai was greedy, he wouldn’t take it for himself.

Elder Chang quickly waved his hand, and a hint of satisfaction appeared on his face. “You’re being too polite by saying that. I’m not unaware of the preciousness of this thing, but… I know my own limitations. I’m not qualified to possess such a treasure. Having it would be a curse rather than a blessing. I’m already old. My only wish in this life is to break through to the Void Returning Realm, and I don’t expect too much. When Elder Hao and I were at our most desolate and helpless, it was you, Yang Kai, who helped us. If it weren’t for you coming forward, we wouldn’t have had the opportunity to enter the Flowing Flame Sand Field. If it weren’t for you leading me, I wouldn’t have been able to come here. You just take this Nine-Curve Crystal Jade Tree. After we go out, just let Elder Hao and me cultivate beside it for a while.”

Hearing what he said, Yang Kai didn’t stand on ceremony anymore and immediately said, “Alright. In the future, when you and Elder Hao come to Dragon Cave Mountain together, you will definitely live a more comfortable life than in the Hecker family, and it’s not impossible to break through to the Void King Realm.”

Elder Chang laughed heartily. “Let’s just regard this as a future goal.”

He obviously didn’t hold out much hope. He hadn’t even broken through to the Void Returning Realm yet. How could he be extravagant the Void King Realm? Moreover, there hadn’t been a Void King Realm powerhouse on Dark Star for countless years. He didn’t think he could break this shackle.

Yang Kai didn’t say more. Anyway, he would set his goal at the Void King Realm. If the Dark Star didn’t work, then he would go to other cultivation stars outside. He wouldn’t be trapped here！ When the time came, he would just take them all away together.

After obtaining the Nine-Curve Crystal Jade Tree, Yang Kai once again returned to his own passage and buried his head in mining.

The entire underground cave was quiet, with only the sounds of mining coming from within each passage. Whether it was the five people from the Qian Tian Sect or Yang Kai and Chang Qi, they all had huge harvests.

In the blink of an eye, four days passed.

Yang Kai had already dug his passage more than thirty zhang deep. Just the Saint Crystals he obtained were converted to three million pieces, but he still hadn’t found the trace of the world spirit object in the shape of a small snake.

Since the Nine-Curve Crystal Jade Tree appeared here, he was even more curious about that world spirit object in the shape of a small snake, because he really wanted to know how the other party grew in the place where the Nine-Curve Crystal Jade Tree existed, or if it was in order to avoid the pursuit of them and accidentally penetrated into this place.

So he had been digging inward all the time.

Another two days later, Yang Kai’s brows were tightly furrowed, secretly wondering if he should give up.

His biggest purpose in entering the Flowing Flame Sand Field was to refine the Mysterious Yin Sunflower Water. The first-layer Hot Flame Area didn’t meet his requirements, so he didn’t stay there. He just wanted to go to the Hot Flame Area behind the Natural Treasures Area to see the situation. Now it was a bit of a loss to waste time here.

Although the Saint Crystals were good, Yang Kai felt that if he wanted Saint Crystals, it would be a really simple matter. There was no need to waste time here.

After pondering for a while, Yang Kai had a plan. He decided to dig for another two days. After two days, regardless of the result, he must leave this place.

He didn’t know if it was really because of good luck. Half a day after Yang Kai made his decision, when he dug out a large piece of Saint Crystal, he immediately felt a distinctive aura overflowing from the Saint Crystal in front of him.

That aura was very strange. Although it was extremely faint, it contained a kind of majesty！

Under this aura, Yang Kai even had a creepy feeling, as if in the dark, there was a pair of eyes staring at him, able to kill him at any time.

This made his heart tremble, and he hurriedly immersed his mind to resist this inexplicable majesty.

In an instant, Yang Kai felt his whole body lighten. When he felt it carefully again, his expression became strange.

This majestic aura was very familiar to him. It was not the majesty of the World-Destroying Demon Eye, but the feeling produced when the golden dragon pattern on his body turned into an entity. Although there were some differences, the essence was the same.

Since things were abnormal, Yang Kai immediately became excited and even more accelerated the movements of his hands. Piece after piece of Saint Crystal was thrown into the Space Ring.

As he went deeper inside, that majestic aura became more and more obvious and more and more rich.

Yang Kai even felt a heat spreading through his body. It wasn’t for any other reason, but because the golden dragon pattern on his body was currently swimming around as if it had come alive. In his ears, he could even faintly hear the resounding dragon’s roar.

Not only that, but the ice phoenix pattern that had always been branded on his body and had been useless seemed to have been stimulated by something and was emitting a clear and loud phoenix cry in response.

What exactly was inside that was causing such a commotion in the inheritances of the Dragon Emperor and Phoenix Empress?

After advancing another dozen zhang deeper, when Yang Kai cut off a piece of Saint Crystal, a green light suddenly burst out from the front, dyeing the entire passage green and eerie.

Yang Kai immediately narrowed his eyes, his Saint Yuan surging to resist the fierce pressure coming from the front. In an instant, his breathing became a little difficult, and his body seemed to be stuck in a quagmire and couldn’t move.

Yang Kai’s expression changed drastically, but the next moment, this feeling disappeared without a trace, as if everything just now had been just an illusion Only the green light group was emitting an increasingly dazzling light.

Sticking his head forward to look, Yang Kai’s face was filled with astonishment.

In the passage he had dug out, there was a closed space. The space wasn’t large, only about three zhang in circumference. At the moment, a round bead the size of a pigeon egg was lying quietly in the space. The bead was colorless, but there was a small green snake swimming inside it. It seemed to have its own intelligence. When it saw Yang Kai looking at it, it actually swam even faster, vividly.

Yang Kai felt a soul aura from this small snake！

It must be the small snake that Chang Qi had chased before and he had mistakenly thought it was a spiritual object between heaven and earth. But now that he took a closer look, Yang Kai found that it was indeed not any spiritual object between heaven and earth, but a soul！

In this case, there was also a reason why Chang Qi would find it there at the Soul-Nourishing Flower. The soul couldn’t exist for a long time. Probably every once in a while, it had to go to the Soul-Nourishing Flower to absorb the fragrance of the flower to maintain the stability of the soul.

But unexpectedly, it was accidentally discovered by Chang Qi, and then when it fled, it passed by him and was chased all the way here.

That majestic cyan light was exactly emitted by this small snake. But at the moment, it was obviously very weak. It was also listless when swimming inside the bead. The majestic aura only burst out for a moment and then died down.

Its soul was incomplete. It must have suffered some kind of trauma before and should not have much intelligence left. What Yang Kai was curious about was exactly what thing’s soul it was, actually so remarkable.

Beside the orb where the little snake was staying, there was a bone that was several feet long and as thick as a baby’s arm. It was like a crystal-clear jade pillar. Although it had gone through countless years, there was no sign of damage. Instead, there was an extremely fierce and malevolent aura inside it, as if a prehistoric beast that had slept for ten thousand years had awakened for a moment. Feeling this fierce and malevolent aura, Yang Kai was secretly shocked.

This bone was not a human skeleton, but the bone of a kind of demonic beast.

Could it be a dragon bone？ Yang Kai’s eyes bulged.

Combined with the commotion of the Dragon Emperor and Phoenix Queen inheritances just now, a bizarre thought suddenly emerged in Yang Kai’s heart.

Only in this way could it explain why the golden dragon pattern and the ice phoenix pattern were so excited, and the little snake in the orb also looked abnormal. Not only did it have two horns on its head, but it also had claws and two beards under its chin. It was clearly the miniaturized prototype of the legendary ancient dragon.

Yang Kai’s heart was pounding.

Even when he obtained the Nine-Curve Crystal Jade Tree a few days ago, he wasn’t this excited.

Because he himself wouldn’t encounter any bottlenecks when cultivating, the existence of the Nine-Curve Crystal Jade Tree was just icing on the cake for him and not a necessary thing. The biggest role of the Nine-Curve Crystal Jade Tree was to provide breakthrough assistance to his friends and relatives.
