Chapter 2758
bySuch a huge amount of two hundred million top-grade Source Crystals is not something that just anyone can have. It is equivalent to the total income of the entire Qingyang Temple for several years.
Even Xiao Yuyang and Xue Zhengmao’s expressions heated up when they heard it.
On the contrary, Yang Kai’s expression was flat, as if what he heard was not two hundred million, but twenty million, two million…
This couldn’t help but make the few people present feel rather strange. After all, Yang Kai was just a newly promoted Emperor Senior Stage. Even if he had some wealth, it was impossible for him to be too rich. But why could he remain unmoved in the face of such a huge amount of wealth?
How could they know how rich Yang Kai was now? Two hundred million top-grade Source Crystals really meant nothing to him.
“And the second condition?” Yang Kai asked indifferently.
The strange look in Lan Xun’s eyes disappeared as she said softly, “As for the second condition… it is that you can ask my father three questions, no matter what kind of questions they are.”
As soon as these words came out, Xue Zhengmao and Xiao Yuyang’s breathing suddenly became rapid, and their faces showed fanatical expressions.
Although they were elders of the Star God Palace and held high positions and great power in the Star God Palace, second only to one person and above ten thousand others, it was not so easy to meet the Great Emperor. The Great Emperor was in seclusion all year round, elusive, and basically might not be seen once in a few years or even a dozen years, let alone ask the Great Emperor questions.
If they could get such an opportunity as Yang Kai, the two would be extremely delighted, because no matter what cultivation level a martial artist was, there must be many unsolved doubts on the path of martial arts. The doubts of powerhouses at their level could probably only be answered by the Great Emperor. With just a casual word of guidance from the Great Emperor, perhaps their own strength could advance by leaps and bounds.
It could be said that although the second condition was not as intuitive as two hundred million high-grade Source Crystals, its value was much greater than the first one. Source Crystals could be earned in the future, but a good thing like asking the Great Emperor three questions couldn’t be obtained casually.
Even Wen Zishan’s face showed a look of eagerness when she heard this, and she turned her head to look at Yang Kai, hoping that he could agree immediately.
Who knew that Yang Kai still had a calm expression. After pondering for a while, he said, “Then what about the third condition?”
Lan Xun said, “The third condition is that you can enter the Five-Colored Pagoda of my Star God Palace and cultivate for one month.”
Yang Kai nodded. The three conditions had been proposed. To be honest, the Star God Palace’s actions were indeed very sincere. Any one of these conditions was sufficient to make Yang Kai return the Golden Armor Heavenly Book.
“Must this imperial treasure be returned?” Yang Kai held the Golden Armor Heavenly Book and looked up at Lan Xun, asking.
Lan Xun had an apologetic expression on her face. “Brother Yang, I hope you can understand the dozens of disciples of my Star God Palace who are trapped in the secret realm.”
Without this Golden Armor Heavenly Book, that Mysterious Void Realm cannot be opened, and the dozens of disciples trapped within will never be able to escape.
Yang Kai let out a sigh and said, “Then I choose the third one.”
Lan Xun was first delighted, but then she was stunned and said, “Don’t you want to consider it further?”
Wen Zishan also tried to persuade him. “That’s right, Yang Kai. Regarding this matter, you might as well consider it carefully. Since the Great Emperor has promised you these three conditions, he will definitely not force you to make an immediate choice. It’s not too late to make a choice after you think it through.”
Yang Kai shook his head and said, “There’s no need. I’ll just choose the third one.”
Wen Zishan opened her mouth, but in the end, she didn’t say anything more.
Put oneself in another’s position and think about it. If he were Yang Kai, he would definitely choose the second one. Although the Five-Colored Pagoda is not ordinary, cultivating in it also depends on opportunity. If there is no opportunity, not to mention only cultivating for one month, even if it is one year or ten years of cultivation, maybe there will be no gain at all. It is far less practical than asking the Great Emperor three questions face to face. He also doesn’t know what kind of consideration Yang Kai has. But after all, this is still Yang Kai’s own business. Since there is a choice, of course he is not good at persuading much.
Lan Xun was obviously also very surprised. Because in her opinion, the possibility that Yang Kai would choose the second condition was as high as 90%. But unexpectedly, the progress of the matter was a bit different from what she predicted. In the end, she just nodded and said, “Then the Star God Palace will always welcome Senior Brother Yang’s arrival.”
Yang Kai nodded, and with a movement of his divine sense, he erased the brand of soul in the Golden Armor Heavenly Book in his hand and returned this imperial treasure to Lan Xun, who took it into the space ring.
This matter was over, and Wen Zishan immediately enthusiastically invited Lan Xun and others to stay in the Qingyang Divine Hall for a few more days. But Xiao Yuyang and Xue Zhengmao didn’t have this kind of thought at all, and immediately proposed to leave.
Lan Xun’s mission was completed, and of course she also had to leave.
Before leaving, Yang Kai suddenly said, “Junior Sister Lan, please wait a moment. I still have some personal matters I want to ask you.”
Lan Xun turned around and asked Xiao Yuyang and Xue Zhengmao to go out and wait. Naturally, the two of them had no objections. However, Xiao Chen had the nerve to stay behind, looking worried about leaving Yang Kai and Lan Xun alone together, full of hostility.
“Senior Brother Xiao, you go out too.” Lan Xun glanced at Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen opened his mouth, about to say something. When he met Lan Xun’s beautiful eyes, his momentum couldn’t help but stagnate. All the words that came to his lips were swallowed back into his stomach glared at Yang Kai and turned around and left.
Not long after, only Yang Kai and Lan Xun were left in the main hall.
Lan Xun smiled slightly and said, “There is no one else here. What does Senior Brother Yang want to ask?”
Yang Kai said, “Junior Lan just said that she went to the Spirit Beast Island not long ago?”
Lan Xun nodded and said, “That’s right. It was probably three months ago. My father was invited by Senior Beast Martial and took me to the Eastern Region.”
“Then did Lan see Senior Nine Phoenix on the Spirit Beast Island?” Yang Kai’s expression changed.
“Aunt Nine Phoenix?” Lan Xun was a little surprised. She originally thought that Yang Kai left her behind to inquire about Mo Xiaoqi’s affairs. Who knew that the first thing he asked about was Nine Phoenix. As far as she knew, Yang Kai and Nine Phoenix didn’t seem to have any intersection. She shook her head and said, “I didn’t see her.”
After a pause, she added, “But I heard from Little Seven that Aunt Nine Phoenix has been in seclusion recently and can’t be easily disturbed.”
Yang Kai raised his brows and seemed to be lost in thought.
Nine Phoenix was in seclusion, and it was definitely related to Flowing Flame. After coming out of the Broken Star Sea, Flowing Flame merged with the True Phoenix Fire and turned into a phoenix egg, which was taken back to the Spirit Beast Island by Nine Phoenix, and there has been no news since then. At that time, Nine Phoenix said that it would take at least one year and at most three to five years for things to be resolved.
Although there was Nine Phoenix protecting her, Flowing Flame was also taking some risks in this inheritance of the Phoenix, which made Yang Kai always a little worried.
He originally wanted to inquire about some news from Lan Xun, but unexpectedly, Lan Xun also knew nothing.
Seeing his disappointed expression, Lan Xun was feeling uncertain. She didn’t know how Yang Kai got involved with Nine Phoenix again.
After pondering for a while, Yang Kai said, “Oh, there is another thing I want to ask Blue Junior Sister for help.”
Lan Xun smiled and said, “If Senior Brother Yang has anything to do, just say it.”
Yang Kai said, “Does Blue Junior Sister recognize a person named Hua Qingsi? She is also a disciple of the Star God Palace, and her master is Tan Junhao…”
……
Half an hour later, Lan Xun finally walked out of the main hall. Xiao Chen, who had been waiting outside, immediately greeted her nervously, looking at Lan Xun as if she had suffered some loss. Seeing that Lan Xun was safe and sound, and Yang Kai, who came out with her, had a depressed face, his mood suddenly improved.
“Brother Yang, whenever you want to go to the Star God Palace, just go. Little sister will wait for your arrival!” Lan Xun turned around and said to Yang Kai.
“Take care, Little Sister Lan.” Yang Kai nodded absentmindedly.
Lan Xun signaled to Xiao Yuyang and Xue Zhengmao. Immediately, several people turned into streaks of light and rushed towards the horizon.
On the Myriad Saints Peak, many guests quietly watched.
The ceremony of the conferment has been completed, and Yang Kai has also received the elder jade token of the Qingyang Divine Hall. From now on, he is an elder of the Qingyang Divine Hall. If it were an ordinary elder, that would be fine. The key is that Yang Kai showed off his skills in full view of everyone before. He fought a move with Xue Zhengmao with his blood and courage, and even injured Xue Zhengmao. Although he himself seemed to be seriously injured, both his courage and strength were enough to make people take him seriously.
And the arrival of Lan Xun and the peaceful departure of the people from the Star God Palace also made these guests smell a different atmosphere.
So at this moment, the eyes of many people looking at Yang Kai are no longer the eyes of an elder looking at a junior, but a gaze of equality.
In the short silence, under the mobilization of the high-level officials of the Qingyang Divine Hall, the atmosphere became lively again.
Although the ceremony of the canonization has been completed, it is also a rare event that so many Emperor Respect Realms gather together, and since it is on the territory of the Qingyang Temple, the guests naturally cannot be neglected.
Wen Zishan also took Yang Kai and walked around the field, toasting one by one, making him familiar with many Emperor Respect Realms in the Southern Region. Maybe there will be some interactions in the future.
After walking around, Yang Kai actually saw many familiar faces.
Wu Chang of the Tianwu Holy Land, Zhuang Bufan of the Wuhua Palace, Luo Yuan of the Bafangmen. Yang Kai has dealt with these several people.
These rising stars who once shone astonishingly at the Dao Source Realm have now all been promoted to the Emperor Respect Realm.
Wu Chang and Zhuang Bufan are okay to say. They are originally rising stars in the Southern Region. Their status in their respective sects is the same as Xia Sheng’s in the Qingyang Temple. The cultivation resources and treatment they have are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
However, that Luo Yuan. The Bafangmen he comes from is just a small force, even inferior to the Biyu Sect back then. But he insisted on reached the Emperor Respect Realm by virtue of his extraordinary talent and perseverance. Now he has even taken over the Bafangmen and become the master of the Bafangmen!
This guy had a burning fighting spirit on his face when he was staring at Yang Kai, as if he wanted to fight Yang Kai at any time.
If it weren’t for today being Yang Kai’s big day, I’m afraid he would have already issued a challenge.
After three rounds of wine and five courses of dishes, the various people walked around, clinked glasses, either in groups of three or five, or in pairs, exchanging greetings and pleasantries.
Most of the Emperor Venerable Realm cultivators who came here brought their own disciples and juniors, and it was just right to let them broaden their horizons more.
“Young Master Yang, we meet again.” A wisp of delicate fragrance came with the wind, and a plump figure stuck to Yang Kai’s side, smiling before speaking: “No, it should be Elder Yang.”
Yang Kai turned his head and looked, and saw a beautiful young woman holding a wine cup standing gracefully. Perhaps because of drinking her pretty face was pink all over, and even her fair neck was covered with a blush, extremely alluring.
“Palace Master Hua!” Yang Kai recognized the person and smiled slightly, raising his glass to signal.
