Chapter 1236

His divine consciousness cultivation was extremely powerful now, and the crystal that could make him have hallucinations was naturally not an ordinary thing. It was very likely related to the previous illusion array.

Maybe this thing was the eye of that array. The spirit of the weapon brought this crystal back, and the previous illusion array was broken without any attack. The more Yang Kai thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed. Suddenly, he became extremely interested in this crystal. After calming his mind, he looked at it again with great vigilance.

This time, however, no black gas surged out of it. Instead, after taking a look, Yang Kai suddenly felt his sea of consciousness churning, and then he became dizzy and overwhelmed. It seemed that his whole body had lost its weight and was floating lightly, and the heaven and earth were also upside down.

Yang Kai was shocked in his heart. He quickly withdrew his gaze and closed his eyes. It took him a long time to recover.

Not daring to casually peeping at this strange crystal anymore, Yang Kai beckoned to the spirit of the weapon asked it to bring the crystal over, and threw it into the space ring, preparing to study it carefully after returning.

Seeing that he finally returned to normal, the spirit of the weapon no longer chirped. It continued to fly back to Yang Kai’s shoulder and combed its feathers, with an elegant posture.

Yang Kai then began to carefully look at the sixth floor.

At a glance, he couldn’t help but be greatly surprised.

Because he discovered that the space on the sixth floor was incredibly small, only about several dozen miles in circumference. The fifth floor’s hot flame area surrounded it, and Yang Kai could see the entire sixth floor at a glance.

The spiritual energy between heaven and earth on the sixth floor was thick, and several miles ahead, there was a green bamboo forest, lush and green. The slender green bamboos were not thick at all, but extremely thin, undulating with the wind.

In the very center of the green bamboo forest, there seemed to be a pavilion. It was unknown how many years it had existed here. Even after countless years of erosion, it still stood firm.

The entire sixth floor was wrapped in the middle of the fifth floor, yet it was not affected by the heat waves in the fifth floor at all, as if it formed its own world, which was extremely miraculous.

Yang Kai concentrated his gaze on the green bamboo forest and the exquisite pavilion in the forest, his heart fluctuating.

Although he had seen a huge sect ruins on the fourth floor and knew that the Flowing Flame Sand Field had been inhabited a long time ago, encountering such a pavilion here still greatly surprised Yang Kai.

The spiritual energy here was a few points stronger than that at the sect ruins. The pavilion built here was obviously not something that ordinary people could live in. It was very likely a high-ranking figure of that sect.

And it was very likely a female high-ranking figure. Because the environment here exuded an elegance everywhere, and male warriors wouldn’t care about these things.

Taking a deep breath, Yang Kai maintained the World Extermination Demon Eye and slowly walked towards that direction.

Since he had already come here, there was naturally no reason to back down. He really wanted to see if there were any good things in that attic, and also that green bamboo forest. The bamboos that could grow here must not be ordinary things.

Originally, Yang Kai was worried that there might be restrictions everywhere here and various great arrays hidden. But when he easily walked around in that green bamboo forest a few times and didn’t encounter any danger at all, this greatly surprised him, and he secretly thought that perhaps he was being too cautious.

However, he didn’t let his guard down because of this. Standing in the green bamboo forest, he condensed a magic flame long sword in his hand, stared at a long bamboo in front of him that was only as thick as a thumb and several zhang tall, and swung the sword to chop it down.

These bamboos, each one was vividly green and full of spiritual energy, obviously not ordinary bamboos. They could definitely be used as good materials for refining weapons. In such a bamboo forest, there were at least several thousand of them. Naturally, Yang Kai wanted to chop some down and take them back to let Yang Yan refine some secret treasures.

With a single sword strike, something unexpected happened to Yang Kai. The place where the bamboo was chopped was actually intact without leaving even a trace.

Yang Kai’s expression changed in surprise, and then he realized that he had underestimated these green bamboos. But at the same time, he was also overjoyed. These green bamboos were actually so tough, and presumably they were indeed good materials for refining weapons.

Immediately, he continuously waved the long sword to chop.

Half an hour later, Yang Kai stood there with a dark face, staring at the green bamboo in front of him with an ugly expression.

During this half an hour, he almost used all the means at his disposal, but he still couldn’t fell a single green bamboo. Even after using the Space Blade dozens of times, he only left a small notch at the bottom of the bamboo root that could almost be ignored.

Judging from this progress, it is impossible to fell a green bamboo without spending ten days or so.

How could Yang Kai have so much time to waste here？ Finally, he took a reluctant look at the green bamboo in front of him, let out a long sigh, and had to give up his previous idea and instead walked towards the attic.

Let’s first see if there is any gain in the attic.

Soon, Yang Kai came to the front of the attic. He didn’t rush in but stood there, looking up at this building that was tens of thousands of years old.

It is indeed a bit different from the current attic style, but generally speaking, it is not much different. It is extremely well-preserved, and I don’t know what material it was built with. The middle door is tightly closed, and there is not a speck of dust on the door.

The attic is divided into three floors, each about two or three zhang high. The top is semicircular and does not look abrupt.

Yang Kai hesitated for a while and then turned his head to look at the Artifact Spirit that had been standing on his shoulder. The Artifact Spirit was also staring at the attic with a pair of small eyes narrowed, seemingly trying to see some clues. Seeing Yang Kai turn his head and look over, sensing something was wrong, it immediately shook its body and turned into a streak of fire and fled into the Refining Furnace in Yang Kai’s arms, refusing to show its head again.

It’s really useless！ Yang Kai cursed in his heart. He had originally wanted to let the Artifact Spirit go in first and check it out. Who knew that this thing was extremely cunning and immediately shrank back into its container after discerning Yang Kai’s intention.

However, Yang Kai didn’t mean to force it either. After all, he had completely relied on the Artifact Spirit to break that Illusion Array before, and it had also allowed him to obtain an unknown crystal.

Slowly shaking his head, Yang Kai strode forward and came to the front of the attic, reaching out to push open the door.

Accompanied by a creaking sound, the middle door opened wide.

Yang Kai’s expression was solemn, and his Saint Yuan was secretly activated, extremely vigilant.

But until the door was completely pushed open, there was still no dangerous aura. Instead, a clear and calming aroma wafted out from the attic. Yang Kai sniffed and immediately felt refreshed and energetic.

Looking along the source of the aroma, Yang Kai’s eyebrows raised, and he quickly walked to a platform and marveled at a small incense burner.

The incense burner was similar in appearance to a scale-down furnace, and it was of a not low grade emitting a not weak spiritual energy fluctuation. Obviously, it was a low-grade Void King Realm incense burner. However, this kind of thing generally wouldn’t have any function for fighting the enemy and was just a decoration.

Just a mere decoration, yet it was of the low-grade Void King Realm level. This attic is really remarkable.

What amazed Yang Kai was not this small incense burner, but a piece of thumb-sized sandalwood burning in the incense burner. Purple rhymes flowed on the sandalwood, which was quite extraordinary. And the slight aroma floating out of it was intangible and invisible to the naked eye. But Yang Kai could detect that this aroma was of great help to a martial artist’s cultivation and should be able to allow any martial artist to quickly enter the most perfect cultivation state.

“Ten-thousand-year incense？” Yang Kai thought for a while and blurted out a name, with a look of great joy on his face.

Although he didn’t recognize the origin of this purple sandalwood at first, after observing it for a while, Yang Kai still guessed it. If it was really ten-thousand-year incense, then this thing would be a precious treasure.

Ten-thousand-year incense could burn for ten thousand years without going out. And this piece of thumb-sized ten-thousand-year incense had already burned for tens of thousands of years and still had such a large piece left. One could imagine its quality, and it was very likely to be the highest-grade ten-thousand-year incense.

The Ten-Thousand-Year Fragrance is not naturally formed but something artificially refined. Just the raw materials for refining it require certain materials from the bodies of more than a dozen tenth-order monsters. Among these materials, the most difficult to obtain is the sachet of a kind of monster called the Rainbow Elk.

The Rainbow Elk is a remnant species of ancient monster. It is born as an eighth order monster and reaches the tenth-order level when it matures. Not only is its quantity extremely rare, but its strength is astonishing. The colorful rays of light it emits have the function of ignoring all defenses. Even a Void King Realm powerhouse will have to retreat when encountering a Rainbow Elk.

To kill a Rainbow Elk at least three to five Void King Realm Layer 2 or even stronger martial artists need to join forces.

After taking off the sachet, it must be refined within ten days, otherwise the fragrance in the sachet will dissipate completely.

Precisely because of this, the Ten-Thousand-Year Fragrance is so rare. This thing is not just as Yang Kai initially guessed, which can help martial artists quickly enter the best cultivation state. Practicing while smelling this fragrance can also increase the chance of martial artists having sudden insights, and at the same time, it can purify the heart and reduce desires, and decrease the mental demons.

When warriors break through a major realm, not only do they have to have a certain degree of understanding of the way of heaven and martial arts, and their state of mind cultivation must keep up, but they may also face some unexpected inner demons. These inner demons are all the wounds or regrets that warriors usually hide deep in their hearts. They can usually suppress them, but at the critical moment of breakthrough, they will quietly emerge and affect the warrior’s promotion.

It has become common for warriors to die miserably or be severely injured under their own inner demons.

Yang Kai has not yet encountered any inner demons for the time being, because he doesn’t have many things of regret and pain. Only being separated from the women he loves for such a long time is what he misses most. However, he also firmly believes that he can reunite with them, so he has not encountered these problems.

But there is no guarantee that there will be something in the future that makes him keep it in mind. Once it breaks out when breaking through a major realm, the consequences are worrying.

Now that there is such a piece of ten-thousand-year fragrance, this kind of thing is easily solved.

He can recognize this ten-thousand-year fragrance also because it has something to do with alchemy, because the ten-thousand-year fragrance must be refined by an alchemist.

Yang Kai was overjoyed and quickly put the small incense burner and the ten-thousand-year fragrance into the space ring together, showing a satisfied expression. Just this ten-thousand-year fragrance is enough to make his adventure into the attic worthwhile.
