Chapter 1237

When he raised his head again, he was shocked to find that above the platform where the censer was placed, there was actually a figure painting. In the figure painting, there was only a back view. It could be clearly seen that this was the back view of a woman. Her figure was slender and slim, and her figure was exquisite. She was wearing a long white dress, like a goddess, awe-inspiring and inviolable.

Yang Kai only took one look and couldn’t help but feel a sudden shock in his heart. For no reason, an impulse to prostrate and worship surged up. He was so flustered that he immediately circulated his cultivation method to resist the eager thought in his heart.

When looking carefully again, Yang Kai’s brows furrowed.

He found that the back view of the woman in this painting was faintly familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.

Moreover, after dispelling that impulse to prostrate and worship, this painting also seemed to become ordinary, just an ordinary figure painting, with nothing novel about it.

Shaking his head secretly, Yang Kai carefully examined this painting with his spiritual sense. After confirming that there was no hidden mystery inside, he then retracted his gaze.

It could be determined that the woman in this painting was either the owner of this attic or had a great origin with the owner of this attic. Otherwise, her back view painting would not have been placed here.

He had no intention of taking this painting away. He was already very satisfied to have obtained the ten-thousand-year incense. There was no need to not even let go of someone else’s back view painting.

Examining the surroundings again, he found nothing.

On the first floor of the attic, apart from the ten-thousand-year incense burning in that censer, there seems to be only that ordinary painting scroll, and nothing else.

Beside it, there is a flight of stairs leading to the second floor. Yang Kai takes big steps and goes straight up along that staircase.

After turning a corner, he easily arrives at the second floor.

Looking around, Yang Kai is astonished.

The second floor of this attic is actually a woman’s boudoir. Although there are not many things in the room, Yang Kai can still infer from those furnishings that this is indeed a place where a woman lives.

There is a bed, a table, a chair, and a meditation mat on the bed. And then there is nothing else. The layout is extremely simple.

His gaze sweeps around the table and chair, and Yang Kai quickly takes a fancy to that meditation mat. The owner of this attic obviously lived and cultivated here. The meditation mat that can be used by her should not be an ordinary thing.

Yang Kai thinks like this and then steps forward and reaches out to pick up that meditation mat.

But to his surprise, as soon as his fingers touch that meditation mat, this thing actually turns into a pile of powder.

This is actually just an ordinary meditation mat. It simply couldn’t withstand the erosion of time and has long been unusable. Seeing this scene, Yang Kai is stunned for a moment and then smiles dumbly. It seems that after successive (successively) having gains he is still a bit greedy. He doesn’t even want to let go of the meditation mat used by others for meditation and cultivation. Now even the heavens can’t stand it.

Searching around the second floor for a while longer, after Yang Kai was certain that there really wasn’t any good stuff here, he then turned around and left, walking towards the staircase leading to the third floor.

This trip to the Flowing Flame Sand Field had already been extremely rewarding for him. After experiencing the incident with the meditation mat earlier, his state of mind immediately became calm. Even if he really didn’t gain anything on the third floor, he wouldn’t be too bothered.

With such thoughts in his mind, he quickly passed through the staircase and arrived at the third floor attic.

To his surprise, there was actually something in this third floor.

Moreover, it was a token blatantly suspended in mid-air！

Yang Kai took a glance at this token, his heart trembled, and he quickly rummaged through his Black Book Space.

Moments later, another token appeared in his hand. And this token was almost identical to the one floating in front of him. They were both made of a material that was neither metal nor wood, without any patterns. However, in the middle of the token, there was a large character ‘Emperor’.

From that token, an imposing overbearing emanated, making one’s heart feel frightened and unable to resist the urge to prostrate oneself and worship.

‘Star Emperor Token！’ Yang Kai’s expression froze, and in an instant, he recognized this token.

The Star Emperor Token was rumored to be a token made by the Starry Sky Great Emperor back then. The Ghost Ancestor had once told Yang Kai that there were a total of ten Star Emperor Tokens, but no one knew where they had ended up. And within each Star Emperor Token, a kind of supernatural power of the Starry Sky Great Emperor was sealed. Using that supernatural power, one could easily kill Void King Realm powerhouses.

The Star Emperor Token in Yang Kai’s hand was given to him by Ghost Ancestor. After all, at that time, Yang Kai brought Ghost Ancestor away from the Hanging Continent, allowing him who had been trapped for two thousand years to escape. Although Ghost Ancestor was unruly and his actions were indistinguishable between good and evil, at the last moment, for some unknown reason, he would give this Star Emperor Token to Yang Kai.

Presumably it was also to repay Yang Kai for saving his life.

And he told him that when it was really extremely dangerous, he could pour Saint Yuan into it and use the Star Emperor’s supernatural power sealed within.

Of course, even if the Star Emperor’s supernatural power was used to kill a powerful enemy, with Yang Kai’s current cultivation level, he didn’t have much chance of survival. After all, the power of the supernatural power sealed in the Star Emperor Token was too great. Once it was used, it was possible to drain his whole person.

Since getting this Star Emperor Token, Yang Kai has always hidden it in the Black Book Space and never had the idea of using it.

On the one hand, using it was really too dangerous. On the other hand, Yang Kai hadn’t encountered any insoluble disasters and there was no need to use it.

He never expected that in the attic on the sixth floor of the Flowing Flame Sand Field, he would actually find a second Star Emperor Token！

However, Yang Kai quickly discovered something wrong. Because the Star Emperor Token floating in mid-air in front of him was not the same as the one in his hand. The spiritual energy inside seemed to have been greatly lost. Although the majesticsmell was still there, there was no feeling of danger at all.

Someone has used the magical power within this Star Emperor Token！ In other words, at this moment, there is no more killing move of the Star Emperor within this token.

Yang Kai guessed secretly, but the fact that this Star Emperor Token actually didn’t get destroyed like this was still quite surprising.

Anyway, there was such a Star Emperor Token right in front of him, and Yang Kai still didn’t want to let it go. Just as he was about to reach out and take it, a layer of halo suddenly rippled out from that Star Emperor Token.

Yang Kai’s expression changed, and he perceived that the killing intent contained within that layer of halo.His Saint Yuan suddenly burst out and he quickly retreated. But although his speed was fast, the spreading speed of that halo was even faster, and it instantly swept across Yang Kai’s body.

Yang Kai’s face turned ashen. Even a used Star Emperor Token couldn’t be casually violated.

Just when he thought he was doomed, a layer of halo also rippled out from the intact Star Emperor Token in his hand. As soon as the two layers of halo touched, they both disappeared.

And the second Star Emperor Token that had been suspended in the air on the third floor of the attic as if suddenly losing the supporting force, fell to the ground, making a soft sound when it hit the ground, bouncing a few times and then no longer moving.

Yang Kai was still in shock, tightly holding his own token, and cold sweat oozed from his forehead.

He also didn’t expect such a change to occur. If it wasn’t’d for his fortuitous possession of a Star Emperor Token, just that one strike earlier would have seriously injured him. The strange power emitted from that halo simply couldn’t be resisted by him at present.

After panting for a while, Yang Kai then slowly walked forward.

Just at this moment, the heaven and earth shook for a while, and Yang Kai suddenly felt that the space around him had some strange changes. there was a repulsive force coming from all directions, as if trying to repel him.

At the same time, the shadow of a slender and delicate jade hand protruded from the high altitude, trying to grab Yang Kai.

That slender and delicate jade hand was clearly a woman’s palm, but it was extraordinarily large almost obscured the entire sky above the attic. Moreover it ignored the building of the attic and directly came to above Yang Kai’s head.

Yang Kai’s complexion changed drastically. In a split second, he understood that it should be the time for the closing of the Flowing Flame Sand Land, so the spatial power around was in turmoil.

I’m afraid the scene he is currently encountering exists in all places in the Flowing Flame Sand Land. The martial artists who broke in here for training before should all be thrown out by this slender and delicate jade hand.

Yang Kai’s guess was completely correct. In the spaces of the first to fourth floors of the Flowing Flame Sand Field, the shadows of slender jade hands emerged from the void easily grabbing those warriors who were resting or fighting. Then the jade hands turned into fluorescent light and disappeared, and along with them, the figures of those warriors also vanished.

The next moment, outside the Flowing Flame Sand Field, figures appeared strangely causing the elders of the various sects who had been waiting outside to be extremely delighted and they all rushed forward to welcome them.

And in the attic, Yang Kai fiercely urged his Saint Yuan and slapped out a palm towards the shadow of that slender jade hand.

The Heaven-Covering Hand was unleashed, but it couldn’t stop the jade hand in the slightest. Yang Kai quickly rushed forward while rolling on the ground. Dozens of Spatial Blades shot out, intercepting the shadow of the jade hand for a moment.

Taking advantage of this hard-won time, Yang Kai quickly grabbed the Star Emperor Token on the ground. Then, feeling a sense of relief in his heart, he stood still on the spot and didn’t plan to resist anymore.

However, when the jade hand grabbed Yang Kai and the spatial force distorted for a while, about to teleport him out, the two Star Emperor Tokens in Yang Kai’s hand simultaneously emitted light, forming a light blue protective shield that enveloped him within.

The jade hand disappeared, but Yang Kai still stood on the third floor of the attic, completely confused.

Soon, the distorted spatial force around also disappeared, along with that repulsive feeling.

Yang Kai seemed to be forgotten, standing there all alone.

It took him a while to react, and for a moment he was both surprised and delighted.

He could be sure that the situation just now was definitely that the Flowing Flame Sand Field had closed, and the teleportation force had already been applied to himself, but somehow it was blocked by the two Star Emperor Tokens, which meant that he had been left here.

The good news was that he now had a lot of time to make use of. The bad news was that when he went out, he didn’t know if he would encounter any danger.

After all, during the period when the Flowing Flame Sand Field was open, the danger in the Hot Flame Zone had been reduced countless times. But once it closed, the danger in the Hot Flame Zone might increase exponentially. If he wanted to go out, he had to pass through six floors by himself to reach the outside.

Thinking about these things now was of no use. He had been left here by mistake, so it was more important to think about how to make use of the current situation.

He didn’t dare to take back the two Star Emperor Tokens at all. Who knew what would happen once he took them back？ He could only keep them close to his body.
