Chapter 1145
byOthers just thought that Yang Kai had too much money to burn and bought a rare thing to go back and collect. Only Wu Yi and Yang Yan knew that Yang Kai didn’t buy it for this reason. Because when waiting for the disciples of Jubaolou to deliver the stone, Yang Kai’s expression was clearly very excited, and there was also some indescribably strange look.
A moment later, a palace-attired woman from Jubaolou delivered that strange stone into Room 13 of Area C. Yang Kai handed over 150,000 Saint Crystals, happily played with that strange stone for a while, and then put it into the Space Ring.
Yang Yan came over and asked softly, “Do you know what this is？”
“I don’t know.” Yang Kai shook his head.
“If you don’t know, why did you buy it？” Yang Yan rolled her eyes, a little speechless.
“Although I don’t know what it is, I know it’s useful to me.” Yang Kai’s expression was solemn. If he didn’t know it was useful to himself, how could Yang Kai have bought it? One hundred and fifty thousand High-Grade Saint Crystals was not a small amount. Even if he was rich now, he wouldn’t spend it like this.”
“Useful to you？” Yang Yan furrowed her brows and suddenly exclaimed in a low voice： “Do you have strange insects and rare beasts？”
“Strange insects and rare beasts?” Yang Kai looked at her in confusion. His heart moved and he shouted in a low voice: “Do you know what this stone is for?”
Yang Yan nodded gently.
Yang Kai was extremely surprised. Even many appraisal masters of the Jubaolou couldn’t figure out the origin of that strange stone, and so many powerhouses on the scene couldn’t see anything special about it either. How old was Yang Yan? How could she recognize it?
Moreover, she was also a Void-Grade refiners and a array masters. This little girl was full of mystery.
He had long suspected that Yang Yan was a person with a story. Now it seemed that it was indeed the case.
“What exactly is that stone？” Yang Kai asked in a low voice, and Wu Yi also listened intently with her ears tilted.
“Insect Stone!” Yang Yan spat out two words. “It has no effect on anyone and can only be used to cultivate some strange insects and rare beasts. It belongs to a very rare thing and is rarely seen in normal times. It contains very wonderful energy. This energy cannot be used for forging and warriors cannot absorb it either. But once a strange insect or rare beast settles on it, it can quickly make it grow. That’s why I asked you if you have strange insects and rare beasts.”
Yang Kai suddenly saw the light and understood why the Soul Devouring Insects that had been living on the Six-Colored Treasure Island in his sea of consciousness suddenly became violent and excited when this strange stone appeared.
Those Soul Devouring Insects were ancient strange insects and naturally counted as one of the strange insects. These Soul Devouring Insects were obtained on the Tongxuan Continent back then and had been living on the Six-Colored Treasure Island in Yang Kai’s sea of consciousness, being nurtured by the Six-Colored Warmth Divine Lotus.
When he just obtained them back then, they were not too strong. They were only invincible below the Saint Realm. If a Transcendent Realm martial artist was invaded by them into the sea of consciousness, they would die instantly.
Later, after a large-scale devouring and mutation and being raised by the Six-Colored Warmth Divine Lotus for so many years, these Soul Devouring Insects had become much stronger, but they could only deal with Saint Realm martial artists. The Saint King Realm could easily wipe them out. With the improvement of Yang Kai’s strength, these Soul Devouring Insects had not been of much use.
Yang Kai did not abandon them either and had always let them multiply and develop on their own.
If it weren’t for the appearance of this Vermin Stone today, which made the Soul Devouring Insects suddenly have a different reaction, Yang Kai would have even forgotten their existence.
It was precisely because of the excitement of the Soul Devouring Insects that Yang Kai would unobtrusively shoot the Vermin Stone.
Now, upon hearing Yang Yan’s explanation, Yang Kai immediately knew that he had bought a treasure. The 150,000 Saint Crystals were not spent in vain. If the Insect Stone could really make the Soul Devouring Insects advance and evolve again, enabling them to deal with Saint King Realm warriors and even Void Returning Realm warriors, then their role would be too great.
“What strange insects and rare beasts do you have？” Yang Yan asked curiously.
“I’ll tell you when we go back.” Yang Kai smiled mysteriously.
Yang Yan looked at him strangely and didn’t say anything more.
“Look quickly. That double-pronged thorn is being taken out for auction！” Wu Yi suddenly shouted excitedly. After all, she knew that she couldn’t reveal that it was refined by Yang Yan, so she didn’t dare to mention Yang Yan’s name.
Yang Kai and Yang Yan both looked towards the auction platform and indeed saw the double-pronged thorn making a grand appearance. And there was not just this one Void Grade Secret Treasure.
A row of twelve palace-attired women, each carrying a jade plate, and on each jade plate was placed a Secret Treasure, all of them were Void Grade Lower Rank. The halos circulated and the spiritual energy was overwhelming. They immediately attracted everyone’s attention.
The beautiful woman auctioneer once again said with a smile on her face, “Everyone should already be clear about the things to be auctioned in this round. That’s right, they are exactly twelve low-grade Void-level Secret Treasures. Presumably, everyone here also knows that it won’t be long before one of the three forbidden areas on You’an Star, the Flowing Flame Sandland, will open. This is a great opportunity that can only be encountered once every few hundred years. To enter the Flowing Flame Sandland, one must have sufficient strength. Not only must one have sufficient strength, but also fine equipment. And these twelve low-grade Void level secrets Treasures are exactly the things that my Jubaolou has specifically sought for the upcoming opening of the Flowing Flame Sandland, just to let everyone here add some means of protecting their lives and seeking treasures. The number of Void-level Secret Treasures on You’an Star is not large. My Jubaolou also painstakingly searched for these twelve Secret Treasures and lost a lot of disciples…”
The beautiful woman auctioneer was talking non-stop on the high platform. Yang Kai frowned and looked at Wu Yi curiously and asked, “What are the three forbidden areas?”
Wu Yi pursed her lips and smiled. “You’ve only been on Dark Star for a short time, so naturally you haven’t heard of it. These three forbidden areas are notorious throughout Dark Star, and everyone turns pale when they hear about them. The first one is the Flowing Flame Sand Field she mentioned. It covers an unknown area and is always in hot flames. Even the hottest flames on the outermost periphery cannot be resisted by human power. There was once a Void Returning Stage powerhouse who, relying on his high strength, wanted to rush into the Flowing Flame Sand Field to search for treasures. But even with his high strength and sufficient preparations, he was melted as soon as he entered the Flowing Flame Sand Field, and even his secret treasures were completely melted away.”
“So powerful?” Yang Kai was greatly shocked.
“Yes, and this is only the hottest flame on the outermost periphery. It is said that if you go further inside, even a Void King Stage powerhouse can’t resist it. However, this is just a saying. There are no Void King Stage powerhouses on Dark Star, so no one knows exactly how powerful a Void King Stage powerhouse is.” Wu Yi smiled sweetly.
Then why did this woman say that the Flowing Flame Sand Field is about to open? Yang Kai frowned. If the Flowing Flame Sand Field is really a place where you will surely die if you enter, who would be so stupid as to run in? No one would think their life is too long.
Because that place, at intervals, the power of the hot flames will be greatly reduced. This time is not fixed. It may be decades it may be hundreds of years. Once the power of the hot flames weakens, martial artists can enter it. I saw it in the family’s classics. It seems that the last time the Flowing Flame Sand Field opened was four hundred years ago, so no one has entered that place for four hundred years.”
Yang Kai’s eyes lit up. A place that hadn’t been entered for four hundred years, how many good things must be hidden there？ No wonder the beautiful female auctioneer said it was a great opportunity.
Yang Kai knew that many natural treasures liked to grow in hot environments. The hotter it was, the more vigorously they grew. There might be such things in the Flowing Flame Sand Field.
However, what attracted him the most was not these natural treasures, but the high temperature there. It was very suitable for him to refine the Mysterious Yin Sunflower Water.
Zong Ao on Rainfall Star had once said that to refine the Mysterious Yin Sunflower Water, one had to find a place with an extremely high temperature.
He had more than twenty drops of the Mysterious Yin Sunflower Water, and he had also collected all the materials for refining it. Now, as long as he found a suitable location, the Flowing Flame Sand Field undoubtedly met his requirements.
As long as he could refine one drop, his strength would surely increase again.
Wu Yi continued, “The second forbidden area is the Imperial Garden. It is said that it was once the back garden of a Star Region Great Emperor.”
Yang Kai was shocked： “Star Region Great Emperor？”
“That’s right, a powerful figure belonging to legend. It is said that many, many years ago, the entire Hengluo Star Region was under the control of a Star Region Great Emperor. Unfortunately, for some reason, this Star Emperor disappeared. No one knows where he went.”
Yang Kai’s heart was in turmoil. He had heard rumors about the Star Emperor before, which he had heard from Shen Tu on the Hanging Continent. At that time, he didn’t take it seriously and thought that this so-called Star Emperor was fabricated. But now it seems that there might really be such a person. Because even a remote cultivation star like You’an Star has such a legend, it won’t be groundless.
The Star Emperor, in charge of a star field, how powerful must his strength be？
Not to mention the Star Emperor, even the Star Lord, Yang Kai has never seen. He only knows that to be a Star Lord, at least one must have the cultivation base of the Void King Realm and also have to take the risk of fusing the origin of the star. Once failed, even the Void King Realm would face death.
“The Flowing Flame Sand Land has always existed, but no one can enter it. However, the Imperial Garden is elusive and no one knows where it is. Occasionally, it will appear briefly, attracting many people to enter it, but no one can come out alive. Only under some special circumstances will the Imperial Garden stabilize. Once it stabilizes, it will be a great opportunity again！”
Yang Kai listened with some excitement. The Star Emperor’s back garden, just hearing it makes people know that there are countless natural treasures inside, which are really mouth-watering.
“The third forbidden area is on the sea, a Specter Island. It is also extremely dangerous. If the Flowing Flame Sandy Land has always existed and the Emperor’s Garden appears sporadically, then the Specter Island is truly impossible to find. No one has seen it, and no one can find it. All the people who have seen it are dead.” Wu Yi said somewhat eerily, making Yang Yan couldn’t help but shiver. This girl has always been very timid.
“Since no one has seen it, why would anyone know about the Specter Island？” Yang Kai furrowed his brows. Among the three forbidden areas, he felt this one was the most unreliable.
Wu Yi smiled faintly： “Existence is reasonable. Since everyone knows about the Specter Island, it must exist.”
Yang Kai didn’t dwell on this issue any longer. However, the coming of the Flowing Flame Sandy Land made him very excited. There is no place more suitable for refining the Mysterious Yin Sunflower Water than that location.
Zong Ao had said that when refining the Mysterious Yin Sunflower Water, as long as it is within one’s own tolerance range, the higher the temperature of the environment, the better. The higher the temperature, the more it can inspire the power of the Mysterious Yin Sunflower Water.
Should he go there when the time comes? Yang Kai was secretly calculating in his heart.
