Chapter 1538

This alchemical method made Yang Kai’s heart surge with excitement.

In the past, the grade of the pills he refined was not high, and the materials were easy to find. There was no problem in refining one pill from one portion of materials.

With the Lingxiao Sect as his backing, Yang Kai didn’t need to worry about the source of materials.

But now that he is already a Void King-level alchemist, the materials for refining pills are not only extremely precious and difficult to find, but also require something like a pill primer. Even with the Lingxiao Sect, it is impossible to find too many materials.

If he can refine more than one spirit pill from one portion of materials, then it would be a great gain for him.

This matter is not urgent. He has just been promoted to a Void King-level alchemist and still needs a great deal of experience accumulation. Only when the experience of refining Void King-level spirit pills has accumulated to a certain extent can he study deeper things.

……

Half a month later, Yang Kai returned to Greenwater City.

This time he didn’t find Su Yan, and he didn’t plan to continue to waste time on this cultivation star. He still needed to return to the Tongxuan Continent as soon as possible to transfer his relatives and friends there to the You’an Star to provide them with a better cultivation environment and resources.

Coming to the inn where Qian Tong and the others lived before, Yang Kai released his spiritual sense and swept it, and couldn’t help being stunned.

Qian Tong and the others were actually not here.

This unexpected discovery made his heart skip a beat. He didn’t know if Qian Tong and the others had encountered any accidents. After all, when he left that day, he had made an appointment with them to meet here.

Where could they have gone？

Yang Kai frowned and took out the communication compass and poured spiritual sense into it.

After a while, the compass lit up, and a fluctuation of spiritual sense power surged out from the inside. Yang Kai hurriedly sank his mind to investigate.

After spying on the message Qian Tong sent to him, Yang Kai was extremely surprised.

They didn’t have any accidents. On the contrary, they are doing well now and have become the guest elder elders of Lvshui City.

This result made Yang Kai very surprised.

Putting away the compass, Yang Kai directly rushed out of the inn and walked towards a building in the center of Lvshui City.

When he walked over there, Qian Tong and the others were already greeting him with smiles.

After not seeing each other for a few months, they didn’t ask Yang Kai what he had done. They warmly welcomed Yang Kai into the building, asked someone to serve tea, and then explained to Yang Kai.

It turned out that not long after Yang Kai left that day, the city lord of Lvshui City personally came to visit Qian Tong and the others.

After all, the lineup of five Return to Void 3-layer Realm powerhouses joining forces, even on this Verdant Green Star, no one could ignore it. What’s more, Lvshui City was still a small city. Besides the city lord and deputy city lord who were martial artists of this level, there were no other 3-layer Realm experts.

Qian Tong and the others suddenly came here, and the city lord of Lvshui City was also very suspicious in his heart. He didn’t know what their intentions were. Under the fear in his heart, he came to inquire about the origin of Qian Tong and the others.

After learning that Qian Tong and the others were not martial artists from Verdant Green Star and only came here to participate in the Blood Prison Trial, the city lord of Lvshui City let out a long sigh of relief.

Immediately, he tried to win over and invite Qian Tong and the others to serve as the elders of Lvshui City！

At the beginning, Qian Tong and the others didn’t want to agree. For them, Verdant Green Star was just a place to break through and advance. They would still have to return to Dark Star in the future, and there was no need to serve as the elders of a city here.

Agreeing rashly was also an irresponsible performance.

But when the city lord of Lvshui City made clear the pros and cons, and told Qian Tong and the others that he himself would also participate in the Blood Prison Trial and that everyone could help each other at that time, after thinking for a while, Qian Tong and the others agreed.

However, they did not accept the position of elder, only agreeing to be an idle guest minister.

And they have already greeted the City Lord of Lvshui City. They will leave after the Blood Prison Trial.

The City Lord of Lvshui City readily agreed.

So they didn’t stay in the inn, but settled in the place arranged for them by the City Lord of Lvshui City.

“After all, we are outsiders. This City Lord is wary of us. It is only natural that he wants to win us over. However, since he is a warrior born and raised on Cuiwei Star, he should know a lot more about the Blood Prison Trial than us. Cooperating with him is also beneficial to both sides.” Qian Tong said leisurely.

“Yeah.” Yang Kai nodded. “That’s good. With a local snake taking care of us, at least we don’t have to worry about gathering information. Seniors, you can do as you see fit. However… you still have to be careful and don’t let the City Lord of Lvshui City plot against you. After all, people’s hearts are separated by their bellies.”

Qian Tong and the others laughed heartily.

Mo Yu said, “Sect Master Yang, don’t worry. Although the City Lord of Lvshui City is shrewd, judging from my contact with him, his character is not bad. He shouldn’t be ignorant of the importance. Moreover, even if he wants to plot, he can’t do much on his own. We’re not afraid.”

“Then I was worried too much.” Yang Kai nodded and said. “Well, since everything is fine for you seniors here, then I can leave with peace of mind.”

“How long will it take for you to come back？” Qian Tong looked at him seriously.

“Don’t know. It could be a year or two at the shortest, three or four years at the longest. Maybe I can come back before the Blood Prison Trial and go in to see the excitement for myself.” Yang Kai grinned.

“That would be for the best. If you come with us, this trial will surely be a lot safer.” Qian Tong’s spirit lifted, clearly having great confidence in Yang Kai’s strength.

The others also looked at Yang Kai with eager expressions, as if they couldn’t wait for him to go and come back quickly.

Yang Kai smiled and then looked at Qianyue and said, “Are you coming back to the Tongxuan Continent with me or staying here？”

“Me？” Qianyue’s face showed a hint of hesitation.

She really didn’t know what choice to make.

The Tongxuan Continent was the homeland of her and Yang Kai. It was a lie to say that she didn’t miss it. Having been forced to leave back then, now that she had the opportunity to return, of course she wanted to go back and take another look at the land where she grew up.

But…

The scenery remained the same, but the people and things on that land had long since changed.

Everything related to the Ice Sect should no longer exist. Perhaps the people there never even knew that there was once an Ice Sect standing on the vast ice plain.

“I’ll stay.” Qianyue’s confused and beautiful eyes gradually became firm as she made her choice. “The people related to me should all be in the Star Field. If I go back, it will only add to my sadness. Staying here, I can continue to inquire about news. Maybe… I can use this time to find out some information.”

Yang Kai nodded slowly and didn’t try to persuade her.

Her making such a choice was reasonable.

“Then I entrust Qianyue to the care of all the seniors.” Yang Kai looked at Qian Tong and the others.

“Don’t worry. With us old guys here, no one dares to do anything to her. Hehe, Void King Realm powerhouses are rare everywhere.” Qian Tong chuckled. Below the Void King Realm, they were the strongest. With the five of them joining forces, I guess few would dare to cause trouble.

“I won’t say much else. I wish Sect Master Yang a smooth journey and an early return！” Mo Yu said solemnly.

“Sect Master, be careful on the way.” Yang Xiuzhu also looked at Yang Kai.

Yang Kai nodded.

He didn’t stay in Greenwater City for long. After learning that Qian Tong and the others were safe and sound, he set off and left the next day, embarking on the journey back to his hometown.

Controlling the star shuttle to fly out of Verdant Star. He released the warship from the Mysterious Realm Pearl. After the disciples were ready, the warship quickly sailed into the starry sky.

Back then, Yang Kai was full of enthusiasm and broke into the star field with the cultivation base of the Saint Realm. It had been decades since he parted with those old friends. He didn’t know how they had been doing in these decades and whether any changes had occurred.

Yang Kai’s mood fluctuated. He suddenly had a feeling of being timid near his hometown.

This kind of mood became more and more obvious as time passed.

He let the warship return along the path he had taken back then. Feeling the changes in his state of mind, he condensed and precipitated the sweet, sour, bitter and spicy in his heart.

His state of mind became solid unconsciously.

Suddenly looking back, he was no longer the young lad he used to be.

Now, he had the powerful cultivation base of the second level of Void Returning Realm, an invincible existence below the Void King Realm, ruling the Lingxiao Sect. On the You’an Star, he was second only to one person and above ten thousand people！

His back was straight as a javelin, and his expression was proud, cold, and resolute.

Suddenly, as if having some kind of induction, he turned his head and looked in one direction. At the same time, his spiritual thoughts also penetrated out of his body.

A magnificent and beautiful scene was imprinted in his observation.

Huge stars that contain different attribute energies are orbiting in a certain place of the starry sky.

And in the center of them, in that void place, there seemed to be something faintly calling Yang Kai.

Even though he was hundreds of thousands of miles away, he still had an induction.

The Chaotic Abyss！

Actually, it had already come here. Yang Kai suddenly came back to his senses. Only then did he discover that unconsciously, he had been flowing in the long river of time and even forgot the passage of time.

This was the first stop when Yang Kai first entered the star field.

This was the most dangerous and unpredictable area in the entire star field. In that seemingly calm and beautiful position, there was hidden danger that human power could not resist.

The chaotic storm, an existence countless times more terrifying than the star field storm, could swallow warships.

Yang Kai was devoured by the chaotic storm here back then and drifted to the Xuankong Continent. There, he met a powerful being like Ghost Ancestor and learned about the wonderful things in the Star Field.

Back then, he didn’t quite understand the mystery. Now that his strength has increased and his horizons have broadened, after careful consideration, he already has some understanding of the mystery inside.

That palpitating energy gathering can compress a space and make it impossible for people to find. And the burst of the chaotic storm is the key to opening the door of this space.

In the very center of the Chaotic Abyss, a small interface is hidden！

That is the Xuankong Continent.

When Yang Kai left the Xuankong Continent with Ghost Ancestor and others back then, he once left a strand of divine sense and placed it at the underground center of the Xuankong Continent.

There is a mass of extremely huge energy there. Yang Kai suspects that it is the origin of the Xuankong Continent.

At that time, his strength was low and he didn’t dare to act rashly.

Now passing by here, that strand of divine sense immediately has a connection with himself, as if calling him to enter it.

Yang Kai didn’t respond.

Although his strength now is completely different from that at the beginning, he is not arrogant enough to refine that mass of energy. If the origin of the stars were so easy to refine, Ghost Ancestor wouldn’t have been trapped in it for two thousand years.

He still needs to wait until his strength becomes stronger before making this attempt.

The speed of the warship remained unchanged, and soon left the Abyss of Chaos behind, racing straight towards the location of Tongxuan Continent.
