Chapter 1224

In the continuous mountain range, Yang Kai’s figure was like lightning. Although he was still suppressed by an inexplicable law of heaven and earth and could not fly in the air, without Dai Yuan holding him back, Yang Kai could let go and use the Wind and Thunder Wings to hurry quickly.

He had no intention of staying in the Fourth Layer for too long. Although he knew that there were probably some rare spiritual herbs and medicines in the Fourth Layer, it was really a waste of time to search for them.

He wanted to see if there was a Fifth Layer Hot Flame Region. If there was, then the biggest purpose of this trip could be achieved.

The mountain range was extremely large. As soon as Yang Kai rushed in, he felt that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here was incredibly rich, better than any star or place he had been to before, and even faintly comparable to the mysterious Hanging Continent.

The mountains were enshrouded in clouds and mist. Large masses of snow-white clouds, like cotton, floated and sank deep within the mountain ranges, leisurely drifting past the halfway up the mountains.

The situation over at Dragon Cave Mountain, when compared to this place, was simply worlds apart and there was no comparability at all.

Yang Kai’s eyes revealed shocked and burning expressions. He secretly thought that if this place wasn’t the Flowing Flame Sand Field and wasn’t a forbidden area of Dark Star, just such a continuous mountain range would be enough to make those great forces and great sects fight until their heads bled.

Which of those great forces and great sects wasn’t located in a place where spiritual energy gathered and was rich？ Even the foundation of each family had a grand-scale earth vein underground. Only the heaven and earth spiritual energy slowly emitted from that earth vein could allow a sect to endure for thousands of years without falling, and allow those disciples to cultivate with twice the result for half the effort.

For example, the Nine Heavens Holy Land on the Tongxuan Continent. As far as Yang Kai knew, beneath the nine peaks of the Nine Heavens Holy Land, there was a not-small-scale earth vein. Therefore, the spiritual energy between the nine peaks was so intense.

The Tianxiao Sect was the same. Beneath the one hundred and eight peaks of the Tianxiao Sect, there was also an earth vein.

The founding of any sect wouldn’t choose to locate the sect in a place where spiritual energy was barren. The first condition for choosing the sect address was that there must be an earth vein, and the larger the scale, the better. The higher the quality, the better.

And this continuous mountain range in front of him was definitely the best place to establish a sect. If the disciples under the sect were allowed to cultivate here, they would take full advantage of the favorable time and place and grow at a speed beyond that of ordinary people.

Yang Kai was sure that there must be one or even more high-grade spiritual veins beneath this mountain range.

Unfortunately, this was the Flowing Flame Sand Field, which would only open once in a while. Once it opened, it would close again in less than half a year. No one can build a Sect here at all, let alone stay here for long to cultivate.

This made Yang Kai sigh continuously.

Although he was alone now, there were still many relatives and friends left in the Tongxuan Continent. If he could go back one day and bring them into the star field, this mountain range would definitely be a good place to settle down and make a living. Of course, before that, he had to have the strength to protect himself. Otherwise, it would only lead to the disaster of exterminating the sect.

Shaking his head, Yang Kai dispersed all kinds of miscellaneous thoughts in his mind and continued to rush forward with his head down.

The mountains were extremely quiet and elegant, without any birds or beasts in sight. It seemed that in this fourth layer, there was only Yang Kai as a living person.

He was right. Even if there were spiritual herbs and medicines in this place, they were extremely rare. Because along the way, he didn’t encounter any spiritual herbs or medicines, and there wasn’t even the slightest smell of medicine in the air.

When Yang Kai had been deep in this mountain range for ten days. Just as he was hurrying on his way, suddenly his expression changed, he stopped his steps, furrowed his brows and listened intently for a moment. His face changed drastically.

He actually heard some intense noises coming from a certain place in front.

There is someone？ And actually ahead of himself. A cold face immediately flashed through Yang Kai’s mind, secretly speculating whether it was that person who had entered here.

Judging from the sound, it seems that there is no fight going on over there, but rather like the person in front is bombarding something, and intense energy fluctuations are spreading out from there, with a huge commotion.

Yang Kai immediately became curious. He had entered this mountain range and hadn’t encountered anything for ten consecutive days. Now that someone was ahead of him and making such strange noises, it naturally attracted his attention.

Immediately holding his breath and silencing his voice, he quietly crept forward to see what was going on.

Although Yang Kai hadn’t cultivated any qi concealing technique his spiritual sense was extremely powerful. With his divine sense covering his whole body, as long as he didn’t make too obvious a movement and the opponent’s cultivation level wasn’t much higher than his, he shouldn’t be discovered.

Quietly approaching there, the closer he got to the source of the sound, the more Yang Kai could feel how terrifying the means displayed by that person were.

After advancing another dozens of miles, when Yang Kai stopped and looked forward, his heart couldn’t help but move, and his eyes revealed a look of horror.

a man with a sword-like figure and a knife-cut face who was exactly the guy from the Star Emperor Sect who cut the Red Candle Fruit into several pieces in full view of everyone. At this moment, he was emitting terrifying Saint Yuan fluctuations all over his body. He didn’t know what secret technique he had used, and the whole person was actually suspended one foot off the ground. However, his big body was trembling slightly, and his face was also extremely flushed. He was desperately catalyzing his Saint Yuan holding an unremarkable Silver Flood Dragon Spear in his hand, turning it into a sky full of spear shadows, bombarding towards the void in front.

What made Yang Kai extremely horrified was not the earth-shattering means displayed by this man.

His means were indeed extraordinary. The spear shadows stabbed out by that Silver Flood Dragon Spear turned into a sky full of silver giant dragons, rushing forward frantically. Each silver giant dragon was almost condensed into substance and it was extremely powerful. Such a violent attack, even if Yang Kai faced it, could only temporarily avoid the sharp edge, otherwise, he would definitely suffer a great loss.

But in the void in front of this man, there seemed to be an invisible barrier. All the silver giant serpents that rushed over were blocked by this barrier. In the mid-air, only layer upon layer of ripples were stirred up, continuously spreading out in all directions, and those silver giant serpents returned without success again and again.

Forbidden array！ No, mountain-protecting great array！ Yang Kai’s heart skipped a beat.

He had once served as the master of the Nine Heavens Holy Land. When the Nine Heavens Holy Land was besieged by powerful enemies, he had personally activated the mountain-protecting great array that guarded the Nine Peaks. Naturally, he could see the trick at a glance at this moment.

In such a desolate mountain range where there are no even insects and birds, there actually exists a mountain-protecting great array! And this mountain-protecting great array seems to be extremely brilliant. No matter how hard the cold man from the Star Emperor Sect attacks, it remains motionless and shows no sign of damage at all.

Yang Kai’s expression was shocked.

The Flowing Flame Sandland has existed for at least tens of thousands of years, and since the third layer, no one has ever set foot there. The same is true for the fourth and fifth layers. This means that this mountain-protecting great array has existed here for at least tens of thousands of years.

After tens of thousands of years, it still has such a powerful protective function. One can imagine how strong it was tens of thousands of years ago.

Why is there a mountain-protecting great array here? Such a thing is generally assigned by a sect at a huge cost of manpower and financial resources.

Yang Kai’s gaze passed over that disciple of the Star Emperor Sect and looked further into the distance. At a glance, his eyes shrank slightly.

Among the distant mountain ranges, the clouds and mist were thick, and the white clouds were snow-white. Countless spiritual mountain treasures were protected deep within by that mountain-defending great formation. Although he couldn’t see how high those peaks were or what the situation inside was like, Yang Kai saw the vague figure of some buildings from within the clouds and mist. There seemed to be magnificent palaces and jade towers, and there also seemed to be pavilions and waterside pavilions, looking like a place not in the human world.

However, when Yang Kai looked carefully again, he found that there was nothing there. There were only the constantly slowly drifting clouds, and occasionally a corner of a pavilion appears from within the clouds and mist.

There really is a sect here！

Although he had been lamenting that this place couldn’t be used as the foundation for establishing a sect, when he confirmed that there was really a sect within this continuous mountain range, his heart was still extremely shocked.

What kind of person could actually build a sect in such a place？ And what kind of people lived inside？

But after thinking about it, Yang Kai felt vaguely that something was wrong. That guy from the Star Emperor Sect had already made such a big commotion. If there were really people inside, they definitely wouldn’t stand by and watch indifferently. They would have already appeared to teach him a lesson.

It seems that there are no people in this sect. It’s just a ruin!

After understanding this point, Yang Kai’s heart was jumping wildly.

A sect ruin! And judging from the corner of the magnificent buildings that was accidentally revealed, this sect ruin seems to be extremely well-preserved. If one can enter it, perhaps one can find many good things.

To be able to build a sect in such a place and arrange such a powerful mountain-protecting formation, this sect surely wasn’t an unknown existence tens of thousands of years ago. How could there be few things inside.

“Who？” A low shout, as if it rang right beside Yang Kai’s ear, waking him up from his shock. At the same time, his sea of consciousness trembled, as if an invisible awl had broken in.

Yang Kai’s expression turned cold. He urged the power of his divine sense to resist the attack that was trying to break through the defense of his sea of consciousness. At the same time, his figure flickered and disappeared from the original place. When he reappeared, he was already more than ten zhang away.

“Huh？” The cold man from Xingdi Sect didn’t know when he had stopped the action in his hand. The man also landed from a height of one chi. Holding the silver flood dragon spear in his hand, he looked at Yang Kai with a slightly surprised expression.

Yang Kai let out a bitter laugh. He knew that just now, because he had discovered the sect ruin, his mood was slightly excited, so he was detected by the other party.

Since he had already been discovered, Yang Kai simply appeared openly. Anyway, he hadn’t had any evil intentions towards this guy, so naturally, he didn’t feel the slightest bit embarrassed.

“It’s actually you!” The martial artist of the Star Emperor Sect had a strange expression. He had met Yang Kai twice before, once in that stalactite cave and once when seize the Red Candle Fruit. But from beginning to end he never discovered that Yang Kai had actually hidden his strength so deeply. Just now, that soul attack was resolved by the other party soundlessly, which showed his power.

This had to make the cold man reexamine Yang Kai to see if he was hiding his cultivation realm.
