Chapter 1191

Although the Nine-Curve Crystal Jade Tree is extremely precious and a priceless treasure, Yang Kai doesn’t necessarily have to possess it. So when he discovered the Nine-Curve Crystal Jade Tree, he was only slightly excited and quickly returned to normal.

But when he thought that the long bone in front of him might be the dragon bone of the legendary ancient dragon, Yang Kai couldn’t suppress the excitement deep in his heart.

Dragons and phoenixes are two kinds of supreme living beings, existing since the birth of heaven and earth. They are born as the emperors of theDemon Race, but they only exist in legends, and this is the case whether on the Tongxuan Continent or in the star field.

No one has ever seen a dragon or a phoenix, but there are many descendants with the bloodlines of these two supreme living beings surviving in the world.

For example, on the Tongxuan Continent, theDemon RaceGreat Venerable Thunder Dragon has a trace of the blood of the ancient dragon flowing in his body. Also, the predecessor of the Thunderwood that Yang Kai obtained before – the tenth-order monster beast Thunder Luan – has a trace of the blood of the phoenix flowing in its body. After the Thunder Luan died, all its essence, energy, and even its demon core condensed into one, allowing that Thunderwood to grow and become its nourishment.

The Thunderwood is still in Yang Kai’s Black Book Space and has not been used because it is very precious, and Yang Kai is a bit reluctant to take it out for Yang Yan to refine weapons.

The inheritances of the Dragon Emperor and Phoenix Empress that Yang Kai and Su Yan obtained also have the shadows of these two supreme living beings. So the Great Venerable Thunder Dragon once said that there is a faint emperor’s aura on Yang Kai.

These two kinds of supreme living beings can almost be said to be immortal existences, with an immortal body！

But this section of long bone in front of him is very similar to the legendary dragon bone, which makes Yang Kai very confused and doesn’t know if his guess is correct. Since the dragon and the phoenix are immortal existences, where did this dragon bone come from？

If it is correct, then wouldn’t the pigeon egg-sized bead be the dragon pearl? Isn’t it the little snake inside the dragon pearl a wisp of broken dragon soul?

Anyway, it’s better to take them first. There will be plenty of time to study them when he goes back. Making up his mind, Yang Kai took a deep breath and reached out to grab the ball in front of him.

But before his hand touched the ball the little snake that was swimming uneasily inside the bead actually opened its mouth and spat out a puff of cyan mist. The mist directly penetrated the beads and enveloped Yang Kai’s big hand.

There was no bad feeling, but Yang Kai’s face changed drastically.

Because when the cyan mist enveloped his hand, he suddenly found that his hand had lost its sense. And a piece of something like a wooden texture actually grew on the back of his hand very quickly, as if the next moment, his hand was going to turn into wood.

And this phenomenon was still spreading along his hand to his arm, as if it was going to turn his whole person into wood.

Yang Kai was greatly shocked. He quickly retracted his hand and circulated the magic flame.

The black fire burned, and Yang Kai wanted to use his own demonic flame to disperse this strange energy. But to his horror, even with the terrifying power of the demonic flame, he couldn’t disperse the cyan mist on his hand in the first moment, and could only barely stop its spread.

The feeling on his hand disappeared even more. Yang Kai’s expression changed and even the operation of Saint Yuan was blocked and unsmooth.

Fortunately, the demonic flame was also extraordinary and not comparable to the Saint Yuan of ordinary warriors. For a while, the black demonic flame and the cyan mist confronted each other on Yang Kai’s wrist. The cyan mist couldn’t advance a single bit, and the demonic flame couldn’t do anything about it for a while, and could only block it here.

After secretly observing for a while, Yang Kai relaxed slightly. As long as the demonic flame could obstruct it, it would be fine.

However, after this incident, instead of being angry and frightened, he became even more certain that his guess was correct.

This little snake’s soul was incomplete and extremely weak. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have stayed here and not run away. I’m afraid that the previous pursuit and escape had made it at the end of its strength. Even so, the green glow it sprayed out had such great power. If it was at its full strength, Yang Kai estimated that as long as the other party blew out a breath, he could be blown into ashes.

This was definitely the remnant soul of an ancient dragon. Otherwise, how could it have such a powerful power.

After spitting out that mouthful of green glow, the already weak little snake became even more feeble, with its head drooping. Its body also kept changing, presenting a translucent appearance, as if it might dissipate at any time.

Seeing this, Yang Kai immediately didn’t hesitate any longer. He quickly took out the bead and that section of long bone from it and threw them into his Black Book space.

He had no intention of mining the Saint Crystal anymore. This trip underground not only allowed him to obtain the Nine-Curve Crystal Jade Tree, such a peerless treasure between heaven and earth, but also suspected the precious treasures of the Dragon Pearl and Dragon Bone. The gains from this trip were simply unimaginable.

He sat cross-legged and began to resist the green energy that had invaded his body.

His Saint Yuan surged, and Yang Kai urged his own Demon Flame to gather on his hand. The blazing black fire instantly became even more intense, and the burning flames almost annihilated the space.

The green mist that could originally contend with the Demon Flame was now retreating steadily. Although the speed was very fast, it was still constantly being forced out of Yang Kai’s body by him.

Drop by drop of green liquid flowed out from Yang Kai’s fingertips and dripped onto the ground, making a ticking sound.

Two days later, Yang Kai stood up and waved his hand. After finding that there was no problem at all, he gently nodded and felt relieved.

Turning his head to look at the Saint Crystal vein that he had been mining, Yang Kai then began to dig up all the Saint Crystals within ten zhang in front of him, lest any traces be left behind and cause others to discover the clue.

After digging out ten zhang of Saint Crystals, Yang Kai then turned around and left without any hesitation.

Coming to another passage, Chang Qi was still digging away with his head down. It seemed that he felt that he had a chance to break through, and with such a huge amount of wealth right in front of him, Chang Qi’s face was filled with a healthy glow, looking extremely happy.

Seeing Yang Kai come over, Chang Qi couldn’t help but ask, “Why did you stop mining the Saint Crystals？”

“I don’t want to mine anymore. Are you still going to stay here, Elder Chang？” Yang Kai asked.

“Of course I’m going to stay！” Chang Qi nodded without hesitation. “There are so many Saint Crystals here, I’m afraid that even if we mine until the Flowing Flame Sand Field closes, we still won’t be able to finish. Are you leaving now, Yang Kai？”

“Yes, I still have some matters to attend to and can’t stay any longer.” Yang Kai replied. He didn’t try to persuade Chang Qi either. After all, these Saint Crystals were indeed an extremely huge fortune for him. Yang Kai had been mining for so many days and had obtained almost four million Saint Crystals. Even if Chang Qi’s speed was much slower, he could still harvest at least half of Yang Kai’s, which was two million.

Such a number, he would never have dared to think about before.

In the future, when he advanced to the Void Returning Realm, he would still have to purchase more powerful secret treasures, so naturally, he wanted to save up some capital for himself.

The area of natural treasures is indeed very tempting, but it is also full of dangers. Not only are there threats from monsters, but also threats from those warriors. If you are unlucky enough to encounter people like Qu Changfeng and Meng Hongliang, you may be killed and robbed of treasures. It is far less safe and comfortable to stay here, and you can also get a stable income.

This is something that Chang Qi knows, and Yang Kai also knows, so he won’t persuade.

After thinking about it, Yang Kai said, “Use this sword. It will be much faster to collect with it.”

As he spoke, Yang Kai handed over the golden sword condensed from his golden blood. The reason why Yang Kai’s mining speed is faster than others is because he has such a sharp weapon.

Chang Qi took the golden sword, gently wiped the blade, and a thoughtful expression flashed across his face. Suddenly, he laughed and said, “The last time in the starry sky, our battleship was surrounded by black rock beasts. It was you who solved the siege, right？”

A few days ago, when Yang Kai came here for the first time, Chang Qi noticed the golden sword in his hand. Because the golden sword exuded a strong vitality and powerful blood energy, it looked as if it was not a sword, but a living creature. However, at that time, his mind was on the nine-bend crystal jade tree, so Chang Qi didn’t ask much.

Now that Yang Kai handed the golden sword to him and he intuitively felt the breath in the golden sword, he naturally understood some things.

Chang Qi had encountered this kind of aura once before, precisely in the starry sky. He still remembered that when the battleship of the Heike family was in a critical situation, a golden spear suddenly appeared, sweeping across the entire group of Black Rock Beasts and rescuing dozens of martial artists from a desperate situation.

The aura emitted by that golden spear was exactly the same as the aura of the golden sword in his hand, simply identical.

At that time, he and Wu Yi had thought that some highly skilled expert had passed by and helped them out, but now he understood that there had been no such expert at all. It was Yang Kai who had taken action.

At that time, he was only at the Third-Order Saint Realm… Chang Qi thought of this and couldn’t help but feel shocked in his heart. He increasingly felt that Yang Kai was no ordinary person.

Hearing him ask like this, Yang Kai smiled and didn’t answer, tacitly admitting it. He just said, “Although the energy contained in this golden sword decreases each time it is used, it can still be used for three or four months without a problem. With its help, you should be able to save a lot of trouble. As for Shen Shitao and the others… you don’t have to worry. She is a nice person and won’t have any harmful thoughts towards you. Moreover, if she leaves early, she will be even less likely to take action against you, unless she is willing to be retaliated against by me.”

“I know this. You can leave with peace of mind. After the Flowing Flame Sand Field closes, I will go to Dragon Cave Mountain to find you with Old Hao.” Chang Qi nodded.

“Okay.”

After saying goodbye to Chang Qi, Yang Kai then returned to the ground along the way he had come.

Although the passage was as smooth as jade, it was not a problem for Yang Kai. He managed to climb up with a little effort.

Standing on the plain full of weeds, Yang Kai released his spiritual sense. After confirming that there was no one nearby, he then used some means to hide the entrance of the underground cave, so as not to let anyone else discover this place again.

After that, he took out the Yuan Magnetic Pointer, confirmed the direction of the third layer of the Flowing Flame Sand Land, and advanced all the way straight.

The plain was very large. It was not until two days later that Yang Kai walked out of the plain.

All the way along, he didn’t encounter anyone, nor was there any spiritual grass or spirit medicine that could be collected.

Yang Kai’s mind was set on the third-layer hot flame area, so his speed was very fast.

Wei Guchang had previously said that no one could enter the third-layer hot flame area. Since ancient times, all those who had attempted to enter it had died. Therefore, before coming to the Flowing Flame Sand Land, Qian Tong had specifically warned them never to go deep into the third layer.

Yang Kai didn’t know exactly what kind of danger was there, but he needed a very hot environment to refine the Profound Yin Sunflower Water. The first layer couldn’t meet his requirements, so he could only go to the third layer to take a look.

If the third layer was too dangerous, he would have to think of other ways.
