Chapter 1495
by“Sect Master actually doesn’t have to worry too much. Although the power of the Emperor Treasure is unfathomable, they are limited by their cultivation levels, so it’s just a one-shot deal. After one strike, they won’t be able to do anything more. You have experienced it firsthand, so you should be clearer than anyone else.” Seeing Yang Kai’s face full of dread, Ye Xiyun spoke up to comfort him.
“That’s true.” Yang Kai nodded slightly, and the vigilance and fear in his heart decreased greatly, and he suddenly felt much more relaxed.
The power of a Secret Treasure has always been linked to the strength of the user. Therefore, even if the grade of the Secret Treasure is extremely high and its power is extremely strong, if the strength of the martial artist using it is insufficient, it is impossible to unleash earth-shattering power.
The Dragon Bone Sword Dripping Green is like this. Although Yang Kai can now use it as if it were an extension of his arm without the slightest hesitation, he always feels that it still has great potential to be tapped.
This potential does not lie in the Dragon Bone Sword itself, but in myself.
My own strength has restricted the performance of the Dragon Bone Sword.
“If the Sect Master wants to take action this time, he might as well bring this Palace along. Since Star Emperor Mountain has already deviated from its original concept, then this Palace naturally cannot just sit back and watch. Moreover… I also want to go and meet an old acquaintance and settle an old score.”
“Oh？” Yang Kai raised his brows, and the gossip in his heart burned brightly.
He actually really wanted to know why Ye Xiyun left Star Emperor Mountain back then. After all, she was the helm of that behemoth at that time, and her status and position were extremely lofty. If it weren’t at some unavoidable, she would definitely not have left there and lived in seclusion, not showing up for hundreds of years.
But this kind of thing is really not easy to ask. If Ye Xiyun is willing to talk about it, of course he will listen attentively. If she is not willing to talk about it, it will be meaningless to force it.
It can be affirmed that there is definitely enmity between Ye Xiyun and the people on Star Emperor Mountain’s side.
After a little thought, Yang Kai did not ask his doubts, but said seriously： “This is what I have in mind. Elder, please listen. If there is anything inappropriate, please give me some pointers…”
Immediately, Yang Kai told his plan in detail.
An hour later, Yang Kai left Hundred Flowers Residence and returned to Tianyi Palace.
The palace was extremely quiet. Yang Kai sat cross-legged, took out the Feathered Spirit Arrow, and poured Saint Yuan into it to recharge it.
This secret treasure obtained within Luo Emperor Mountain this time truly has extraordinary power. Although there are restrictions on the number of uses, it still cannot undermine its remarkable effectiveness. A Martial Artist at the Second-Order Void Return Stage simply cannot withstand its might with a single strike. Even someone like Qu Zheng, a Third-Order Void Return Stage, can only dodge and dare not take it head-on.
Within Luo Emperor Mountain, the energy of the Feathered Spirit Arrow was completely consumed, and naturally, Yang Kai had to recharge it again.
It was all done in just half an hour.
Yang Kai carefully put it away. Just as he was about to make some more preparations for this operation, suddenly his expression changed, and he grinned with a smile. He stared at a certain place on the ground and quietly waited.
Moments later, a small head strangely emerged from the ground over there. It had sharp edges and firm lines, like a stubborn stone. However, the two eyes on that head were extremely bright and full of spirit.
Stone Puppet.
This time when Yang Kai went out, he did not bring the Stone Puppet with him. Instead, he left it within the Sect.
For one thing, Yang Kai did not expect this trip to have so many twists and turns and to have to deal with such battles. Otherwise, bringing the Stone Puppet would also be a great help.
For another, the Stone Puppet had another task at hand.
The task of the Stone Puppet was to guard the stone embryo of another Stone Puppet. After coming out of Emperor Garden last time, Yang Kai fused the Blood Essence Stone with that stone embryo in the hope of giving birth to a second Stone Puppet. So he assigned the task of guarding it to Xiao Xiao.
Now that he had returned to the sect, it had sensed his presence and immediately come to the Tianyi Palace.
He didn’t know if the second stone puppet had been successfully born. Yang Kai was filled with anticipation.
However, when he looked at the stone puppet Xiao Xiao, he couldn’t help but frown and hurriedly asked, “What’s wrong?”
In its originally clear and bright eyes, there was a hint of panic. As soon as it emerged from the ground, it immediately climbed to Yang Kai’s on all fours, then hunched over, grabbed Yang Kai’s trouser leg and didn’t know what strange language it was uttering as it eagerly dragged Yang Kai walked out.
“What happened?” As the master of the stone puppet, Yang Kai could naturally sense its urgency and unease. However, the stone puppet was also a kind of living being with not high intelligence. Yang Kai had only let it absorb a drop of golden blood when it was born, so he couldn’t clearly sense its thoughts.
“You want me to follow you?” Yang Kai asked again, and the stone puppet finally nodded vigorously.
“Lead the way!” Yang Kai gently nodded and let the stone puppet drag him as he followed it out.
Soon, one person and one stone puppet left the main helm of the Lingxiao Sect and headed towards the depths of the mountains.
The main helm of the Lingxiao Sect now stood on the site of the original ancient sect Taixuan Sect. This site was extremely vast, and the Lingxiao Sect had a small family business and only occupied a very small part of it.
Now the place where the stone puppet is taking Yang Kai can also be regarded as the general helm of Taixuan Sect, just on a high peak.
That peak is extremely tall and straight, towering into the clouds, with jagged rocks and strange and beautiful scenery.
An hour later, the stone puppet brought Yang Kai to the top of this mountain peak. On the top of the peak, there is a spacious platform like a square, and a magnificent palace stands.
Presumably it is the palace built by Taixuan Sect before, but now it is empty.
And just in front of that palace, there is a blood-red, strangely round stone about the size of a washbasin placed on the ground. Vaguely visible, the rich spiritual energy around it is attracted by it and drills into the round stone.
You can even hear bursts of gurgling sounds like a heartbeat coming from the round stone, strong and powerful, with a clear rhythm.
The stone embryo of the second stone puppet！
Yang Kai’s eyes lit up.
The stone embryo has been taken care of well by Xiaoxiao. After integrating the blood essence stone, it almost has its own life. But what is strange is that the creature gestating inside has not broken out of its shell. Logically speaking, after such a long time, it should have been born already.
Yang Kai’s brows furrowed.
With his eyesight, he naturally also saw the abnormality of the stone embryo. No wonder Xiaoxiao would behave so impatient.
After arriving here, Little immediately rushed to the stone embryo, nervously circling around it, scratching its ears and cheeks, looking like a monkey that had been scratched to the itchy spot, and nothing it did could make it feel satisfied.
“Let me take a look, don’t worry.” Yang Kai comforted. The stone puppet was indeed obedient and immediately sat down beside it, looking on eagerly.
The stone embryo had gestated its kind, and although Little’s intelligence was not high, it also knew how to care for its kind.
Yang Kai came to the front of the stone embryo, released his spiritual thoughts to investigate, and his face changed slightly.
In the stone embryo, there was an unimaginable amount of energy condensed, and it was still continuously strengthening. I don’t know if it was because the spiritual energy of heaven and earth here was too rich or something, but the stone embryo was continuously absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from the surroundings without stopping.
The sound of the heartbeat became much more obvious and much stronger, but no matter how Yang Kai investigated, the creature gestated inside it showed no sign of breaking out of the shell, and there was not even a trace of soul fluctuation.
No soul fluctuation meant that its life was incomplete and it had not given birth to intelligence.
Yang Kai was completely at a loss.
He didn’t know how to deal with it either.
The special creature of the stone puppet was told to him by Yang Yan. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have known that in this great thousand world, there actually existed such a strange life. As for how the stone puppet could be safely born and what to do at this moment, he knew nothing.
Perhaps if Yang Yan was here, she could solve his doubts for him.
But ever since Yang Yan returned from the Emperor’s Garden, she has merged with the main body of the Great Emperor and fallen into a deep sleep. Even if Yang Kai goes to find her, he won’t get any help.
After careful consideration, Yang Kai reached out and touched the stone embryo.
Anyway, the energy stored in the stone embryo at this moment is too huge, which must be inappropriate. The stone embryo failed to be successfully born and failed to give birth to spiritual wisdom. It is very likely related to this huge amount of energy.
The so-called ‘the void cannot bear supplementation’ is probably this truth.
Yang Kai wanted to guide the energy inside out, so as not to cause any harm to the fragile stone embryo.
But as soon as his hand touched the stone embryo, a complex and profound pattern suddenly emerged from the stone embryo. After the pattern rotated, it actually turned into an extremely terrifying energy and rushed towards Yang Kai.
Yang Kai’s complexion changed drastically, and he quickly evaded sideways.
With a whoosh, that energy flew past his body and shot straight into the sky.
A few breaths later, a hole actually appeared in the distant sky, as if that blow had pierced through the sky.
Yang Kai looked horrified and no longer dared to act rashly.
Little stared at him, uttering some inexplicable language, as if pleading for something, and both eyes were full of sadness.
Yang Kai slowly shook his head.
As things stand, I’m afraid he can’t help even if he wants to. Everything has to let nature take its course.
As if understanding Yang Kai’s thoughts, Xiaoxiao’s expression also became somewhat listless. She hung her head and just sat there stupidly, staring at the stone embryo in front of her.
Time passed slowly. The energy contained within the stone embryo became increasingly huge and the rhythm like a heartbeat also became more and more rapid, so rapid that it made Yang Kai’s heart palpitate.
That was an extremely abnormal rhythm, continuous like drumbeats. And with the sound, the light on the stone embryo also began to flicker, flickering.
This situation lasted for a full five days. It was not until the fifth day that the situation changed.
The blood-red light on the stone embryo suddenly burst out, extremely dazzling. At the same time a terrifying energy fluctuation erupted from within the stone embryo.
Yang Kai widened his eyes and stared fixedly at the movement in front of him without blinking.
Suddenly, the light dimmed and the intensive drumming sound also vanished at the same time. The terrifying energy fluctuation contained within the stone embryo also dissipated without a trace.
Yang Kai’s heart sank. He released his spiritual sense to sense over there, and his face darkened.
The stone embryo had actually lost all the life fluctuation it originally had as if it was really just a common rock that could be seen everywhere.
Little also noticed something and quickly rushed to the front of the stone embryo, gently patting it with both hands and chattering incoherently, not knowing what it was saying. Then it picked it up and brought it to Yang Kai, stuffing it into his arms, obviously wanting him to think of a way.
Yang Kai opened his mouth, but in the end, he was speechless and let out a deep sigh.
