Chapter 1484

After a few days, Yang Kai did have some harvest. Secret treasures, pills, cultivation techniques, and secret arts were all available.

However, compared with the trip to the Emperor’s Garden, such gains were worlds apart and didn’t make Yang Kai feel.

It’s better than nothing.

On this day, he penetrated into one of the palaces and didn’t come out for several consecutive days. The people from the Battle Heaven League and the Thunder Terrace Sect who had been monitoring Yang Kai’s movements were also confused and didn’t understand what had happened to Yang Kai.

Inside that palace, in a certain underground secret room, Yang Kai sat cross-legged, operating his cultivation technique, greedily absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

And in this secret room, the spiritual energy was so dense that it was visible to the naked eye, turning into white threads, lingering around Yang Kai. With his breathing, those white threads come one after another, as if attracted, poured into his body and disappeared.

As time passed, the white threads in the secret room became fewer and fewer.

Pure spiritual energy！

Yang Kai also didn’t expect that he would actually have such a harvest.

It is rumored that in this world, there is a special kind of spiritual energy of heaven and earth that can be directly absorbed by martial artists without the need to operate cultivation techniques to transform it, thereby enhancing the cultivation realm and strength of martial artists.

This is the pure spiritual energy. It has an indescribable effect on any martial artist, and is countless times better than the best earth veins.

But it is extremely rare and seldom appears. Even if it appears, it will soon melt away between heaven and earth and become a part of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Unless it is detained by special means, it can be preserved for a long time.

The ruins of this ancient sect are located on an excellent earth vein, and occasionally one or two wisps of pure spiritual energy will be born. This underground secret room is arranged with many complicated and profound formations. Although Yang Kai can’t understand them, he also knows that they exist precisely to detain these pure spiritual energies.

One or two years of accumulation may not be obvious, and even a hundred or a thousand years of accumulation is still thin.

However, the accumulation of tens of thousands of years is impressive.

When Yang Kai opened the door of this secret room, he almost thought he had misread. The rich pure spiritual energy in the secret room had turned into a substance and could be captured easily.

This unexpected discovery made his heart bloom with joy. After figuring out that this was the rumored pure spiritual energy, how could he hesitate？ Immediately, he sealed the secret room and began to meditate and absorb it.

Generally speaking, this kind of secret room for detaining pure spiritual energy is at least opened once every few hundred years. It is not used to enhance the strength of warriors. After all, although pure spiritual energy is rare, it is extremely scarce. Using it simply to enhance strength is too wasteful.

Its existence is for warriors who have reached a bottleneck to use when they break through.

Good steel should be used on the blade.

When a warrior breaks through the realm, the stronger the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the smaller the obstruction encountered during the breakthrough. And pure spiritual energy is the best catalyst, which can reduce the risk for any warrior when breaking through.

And now, this precious existence is being absorbed into Yang Kai’s body without restraint, gradually strengthening his strength. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a waste of natural resources. So much pure spiritual energy is enough for hundreds of warriors to break through.

And he only spent three days to absorb more than 70% of the pure spiritual energy.

His own Saint Yuan became increasingly vigorous and thick, and his realm climbed little by little, quickly reaching the peak of the first-layer！

At this time, Yang Kai had faintly felt a layer of constraint, like a thin film obstructing the improvement of his strength. This was the bottleneck.

For other martial artists, they would definitely have to temper their state of mind first, understand the laws of heaven and martial arts, and spend a lot of time to break through this bottleneck.

However, Yang Kai was different. He had absorbed the essence of the souls of many martial artists who exceeded his own realm. His understanding of the laws of heaven and martial arts had far exceeded his own level, and only the tempering of the state of mind was still lacking.

However, as long as he was willing, there was not necessarily no chance to break through and reach the two-layer of Return to Void!

Yang Kai was not so eager for quick success and instant benefits.

All things haste makes waste. He had just broken through to the first-layer of Return to Void not long ago. Although he had successfully condensed his own momentum with the help of the imperial might emitted from the Imperial Garden, if he broke through continuously so quickly, it was very likely to cause some hidden dangers.

So after pondering for a while, he did not absorb the remaining pure spiritual energy anymore. But if he left like this, it would be a bit too wasteful. After pondering for a moment, Yang Kai took out the messaging compass, instilled divine sense into it, and wanted to contact Qian Tong and Fei Zhitu.

Let the two of them come to absorb the remaining pure spiritual energy.

However, to Yang Kai’s disappointment, Qian Tong did not respond at all！

This is rather strange. Although the site of this ancient sect is not small in area, it definitely has not exceeded the range that the communication compass can reach. Could something have happened to Qian Tong？ Is he unable to respond to himself？

There is also some possibility. Since it is a sect site, there must be some secluded places. Maybe Qian Tong broke into some kind of restriction.

Unable to contact Qian Tong and Fei Zhitu, and reluctant to give up the remaining pure spiritual energy in front of him, Yang Kai scratched his ears and cheeks for a while, at a loss.

But after a while, his eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something. With a movement of his mind, a fiery red light flew out from his body, with wings spreading out, turning into the appearance of a strange bird.

The spirit of the weapon, the Firebird！

Although it has no physical body, it is also a thing with spiritual wisdom. There should be no problem absorbing the pure spiritual energy. After all, it can even refine the True Fire of the Sun.

Sure enough, after the Firebird flew out, it immediately let out a happy cry. Then it opened its big mouth, and its abdomen bulged and contracted. Accompanied by the suction force, the pure spiritual energy in the secret room was sucked into its body like a whale sucking water.

The white silk thread-like pure spiritual energy was decreasing at a visible speed.

……

Outside the palace, more than twenty Void Returning Stage powerhouses of the Zhantian League and the Leitai Sect had surrounded this place tightly.

This place is quiet and extremely secluded, an excellent location to take action, and there’s no need to worry about being seen by outsiders and causing criticism.

Although using such a luxurious lineup to deal with a Void Return Stage Layer 1 cultivator really feels like using a butcher’s knife to kill a chicken, since the other party knows some spatial power, Qu Zheng and Fang Peng don’t dare to be too careless.

Now there is only one problem in front of everyone, leaving them at a loss.

Yang Kai actually doesn’t come out anymore！

Probing inward with spiritual thoughts, his aura can’t be detected either, but according to the report of a strong cultivator from the Battle Heaven Alliance, he clearly saw Yang Kai enter inside.

“Brother Qu, could that brat have already left？” Fang Peng asked a little impatiently.

“Brother Fang said this, could it be that you are questioning the incompetence of the people under Qu?” Qu Zheng was also extremely annoyed from waiting and couldn’t wait to rush in and catch Yang Kai right away. Naturally, he didn’t have a good temper when he heard this.

“Brother Fang didn’t mean that either. It’s just that you also know that the brat knows some spatial power. Maybe he noticed someone monitoring and has left quietly without a sound.” Fang Peng frowned.

Brother Fang is overthinking. Although deacon Jia only has the cultivation of Void Return Stage Layer 2 he has unique means in restraining his aura. When he wants to hide his whereabouts and monitor someone, not to mention that brat even this alliance leader may not necessarily be able to detect it. Since deacon Jia said he is inside then he must be inside.”

“I guarantee with my head that the brat definitely didn’t detect me, and he must still be in the palace！” A dozen feet away, an old man with a goatee said in a deep voice, a confident expression on his face.

“Well, if that’s the case, then let’s wait a little longer. But with so many of us here, if the brat senses something, he may not have the guts to come out.” Fang Peng curled his lip.

“That’s not up to him.” Qu Zheng sneered again and again.

Just as they were talking, suddenly a breath of life appeared in the palace. Everyone’s eyes lit up, and they used their spiritual senses to sense it. They found that the fluctuation of that breath of life was actually Yang Kai.

Soon, Yang Kai’s figure appeared at the palace gate. His brows were slightly wrinkled and there seemed to be a hint of surprise on his face. However, he didn’t mean to stop, but walked over step by step.

“He’s out！” Fang Peng shouted in a low voice.

“It’s good that he’s out！” Qu Zheng sneered, his eyes as cold and sharp as a blade, shining with a cold light. “It saves this alliance master the trouble of going in and capturing him himself.”

Yang Kai strode forward, with his hands behind his back. The surprise on his face had converged, and he became extremely calm. Not only did he not have the slightest intention of panicking, but he didn’t even try to avoid them. He just walked up to the crowd step by step, looked around, and grinned, saying, “So many people.”

“Yang Kai！” Qu Changfeng slapped his folding fan over there and shouted with a smile. “You made this young master wait for a long time！”

“The Battle Heaven League, the Lei Tai Sect…” Yang Kai nodded slightly, a smile filling his face. “Very good, very good. So many people waiting here, is it to kill me？”

“Does it take so many people to kill you？ Yang Kai, don’t put gold on your own face. You don’t have that qualification yet.” Qu Changfeng laughed heartily.

“Oh？ Then why are so many people gathered here？”

“Just to prevent you from escaping.”

“So that’s it！” A look of understanding emerged on Yang Kai’s face. “I was wondering why that Elder Liang was so easy to talk to before. Turns out he was waiting for me here. This is indeed a good place to kill people and silence them. Can I ask why？ Although there are some grudges between me and your two forces, it’s far from reaching this point, right？”

“Do you think this young master will tell you？” Qu Changfeng sneered with contempt.

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t say it. I can guess. It’s about the warship, right？” Yang Kai snorted coldly.

For the Battle Heaven League and the Lei Tai Sect to send so many people to deal with him alone, it’s nothing but a matter of interests. And the only thing that can affect the interests of these two families is that Void King-class warship.

That’s not just a warship. It also carries the hope of all the powerhouses on You’an Star to advance to the Void King Realm.

Yang Kai furrowed his brows slightly, secretly blaming himself for underestimating the allure of the warship. He didn’t carefully consider how much turmoil the appearance of the Void King-class warship would bring to You’an Star before. But seeing this scene now, he finally understood somewhat.

“Just know it！” Qu Changfeng didn’t deny it. Although this time the Battle Heaven League and the Lei Tai Sect joined forces under the order of the Star Emperor Mountain, in the final analysis, it was still because of that battleship.
