Chapter 181
byYang Kai directly walked into that area of the earth vein. Just as he was wrapped by the dense and hazy heaven and earth energy, he felt a burst of comfort all over his body. Without having to circulate his cultivation, the countless pores all over his body automatically expanded and contracted, and every inch of his flesh and every cell was rejoicing.
Very rich and pure heaven and earth energy, Yang Kai was a little overjoyed.
He sat cross-legged and circulated his cultivation method, devouring the energy in the earth vein like a whale sucking water.
That thief in the past could cultivate to the extent that many overseas sects had a headache in just thirty years. One was with the help of the Warm God Lotus, and the other was with this earth vein.
The former nourishes the spirit, and the latter nourishes the body. With two great treasures, it would be strange if the strength did not increase quickly.
Regrettably, this was indeed just a small earth vein, and the heaven and earth energy it contained was not too huge. Moreover, after being absorbed by that thief for thirty years, the heaven and earth energy in the earth vein had been almost exhausted and was about to dry up.
But even so, for Yang Kai now, it was still a great tonic.
His physical particularity enabled him to absorb these energies between heaven and earth even faster than the divine thief in the past. The Proud Bone Golden Body was like a bottomless pit, capable of devouring any amount of energy that entered the body, without any worry of being overfilled.
Moreover, the energy contained in the earth vein was pure and rich, and hardly needed to be refined by fire. After circulating through the meridians for a full cycle, it rushed into the large warehouse of the Proud Bone Golden Body, becoming Yang Kai’s storage and foundation.
Yang Kai was devouring the energy of the earth vein, and the Earth Demon was devouring the power of the divine thief’s sea of consciousness. The two did not interfere with each other, and both were physically and mentally happy, forgetting the passage of time.
It was not until a full month and a half later that Yang Kai took a deep breath and slowly opened his eyes.
The small earth vein in this place had been completely drained by Yang Kai’s unrestrained and fierce absorption, and the dense and visible energy between heaven and earth no longer existed.
Carefully feeling his current realm, Yang Kai’s face lit up with joy.
Unconsciously, his strength had been upgraded to the ninth level of the Qi Movement Realm. Only one last step was needed to advance to the clutch Realm.
Moreover, Yang Kai could feel that the energy in his body, both in terms of quality and quantity, had already reached the level of the clutch Realm. The only thing lacking was that layer of perception of martial arts.
The improvement of each major realm requires some of one’s own insights. It was the case when promoting to the Kaiyuan Realm, and it was also the case when promoting to the Qidong Realm. Now, if one wants to promote to the Lihe Realm, one also needs insights.
However, Yang Kai has not yet touched that layer of restriction. This depends on opportunity and luck and cannot be obtained by simply hard cultivation.
Looking up, it was true that the Earth Demon had already absorbed all the power of the sea of consciousness beside the Wen Shen Lotus, and was now waiting boredly for him to wake up.
Right in front of him was the colorful Wen Shen Lotus. Yang Kai slowly stood up and walked to this supreme holy product that nourished the spiritual consciousness.
“Earth Demon, is there any particularity in taking it？” Yang Kai asked.
“There is no particularity. If the young master were a Shenyou Realm expert who had cultivated spiritual consciousness, he might still need to have a battle with it. But since the young master has not yet cultivated spiritual consciousness, he just needs to take it.”
Since there was no particularity, Yang Kai had no concerns either. He stretched out his hand and reached for the colorful Wen Shen Lotus. As soon as his fingers touched this lotus, it disappeared oat.
At the same time, Yang Kai suddenly felt that his whole body was refreshed, his mind was much clearer than ever before, and even his perception had increased a lot.
Involuntarily, Yang Kai took a breath and shivered with extreme comfort all over his body.
Carefully checking, one simply couldn’t detect the trace of the Warm Divine Lotus. But Yang Kai knew that it must be in his mind at this moment. Only after cultivating the Divine Sense could he catch a glimpse of its charming appearance.
“Alas. The Multicolored Warm Divine Lotus…” The Earth Demon was both envious and jealous.
“Hahaha.” Yang Kai laughed heartily.
“Young Master, in the future, you must find some natural treasures that can nourish the Divine Sense for this Warm Divine Lotus to absorb. When it turns seven colors one day, it will be of even greater help to you.”
“It can grow？” Yang Kai was a little surprised.
“Of course. When the Warm Divine Lotus is first born, it only has one color. It also has grades. The more colors it has, the higher the grade. The highest can reach the seven-color level. Let’s give a more intuitive example. A one-color Warm Divine Lotus takes a hundred years to double a person’s Sea of Consciousness, then a five-color Warm Divine Lotus only takes twenty years, and a seven-color Warm Divine Lotus only takes five years！”
“Powerful！” Yang Kai secretly clicked his tongue in wonder. Although he hadn’t cultivated the Divine Sense yet, he also knew the hardships of cultivating the Divine Sense. Just as the Earth Demon had said before, cultivating the Divine Sense was more than a hundred times more difficult than cultivating the physical body. But now with the help of the Warm Divine Lotus, he didn’t need to worry at all. The Divine Sense would become stronger and stronger and more and more solid.
“Speaking of which, the five-color Warm Divine Lotus is also quite good.” Yang Kai wasn’t dissatisfied at all. To obtain this thing was already an blessing. One couldn’t expect to obtain a seven-color one all at once.
“Naturally, it’s an extremely good treasure. When it grows to seven colors in the future, it will be a supreme treasure in the world！ However, this thing grows very slowly and only absorbs the energy of natural treasures that can enhance the spiritual sense. If you want to turn these five colors into seven colors, the young master will have to put in more effort.”
“Let it be. I won’t force it！” Yang Kai was quite open-minded. If it could turn into seven colors within his lifetime, it would also be his good fortune. If not, it would be useless to force it.
“It’s good that the young master has this kind of mindset.” The Earth Demon admired him. Although he was not very old, he was calm and steady. The more he came into contact with Yang Kai, the more he felt a sense of admiration.
If it were any other young person, with the Earth Demon’s malicious intentions and sophisticated experience, he would have already tricked them into a. But facing Yang Kai, the Earth Demon didn’t dare to have any bad thoughts at all and respected him in everything.
“It’s time to go out.” Yang Kai took a deep breath. He had stayed here for more than a month. The Warm God Lotus had been collected, and the Earth Vein had been absorbed. All the benefits had been taken, so naturally, there was no need to stay any longer.
Before leaving, Yang Kai dug a pit and buried the thief’s bones in it.
Walking out all the way, when passing by that stone shelf, Yang Kai hesitated for a long time before finally suppressing the eager thought in his heart not looking at the secret treasure that made his heart flutter, and striding away.
There were three secret treasures on the stone shelf. Besides the Taiyi Seal that couldn’t be used, Yang Kai could completely take the other two for himself. But since that thief in the past hadn’t touched them, there must be some mystery within.
Maybe once he used these things, those sects overseas would be able to sense it through special methods. This wasn’t just Yang Kai’s own speculation, but it was indeed the case. Many large sects had placed restrictions on their sect-protecting treasures. Within a certain range, as soon as an outsider used them, it would be detected.
Yang Kai still planned to go back to Haicheng once, so naturally he didn’t dare to refine these hot potatoes.
Just leave them here for now and come back to take them when leaving Hidden Island.
Several hundred zhang upwards, Yang Kai once again arrived at the top of the solitary peak. That group of strange insects was still dutifully guarding the tattered stone door. There was no sign that Yun Xia and those True Yuan Jing experts had returned. Presumably, they had all been hunted and killed by those two giant eagles.
Letting the big bug break through the fog at the door, Yang Kai walked out.
Standing on the solitary peak, Yang Kai looked around.
This place was tens of thousands of li away from Haicheng. To leave Hidden Island, one could only rely on the Yang Yan Wings. However, using the Yang Yan Wings would consume too much Yuan Qi. The Yang Liquid in his dantian had only over thirty drops left after this period of struggling, and it simply wasn’t enough to support him flying across tens of thousands of li.
Flying a thousand miles is already very reluctant. Once encountering a storm at sea, it may be necessary to take a detour to avoid it. In this way, the demand for Yang Liquid is even greater.
At least four hundred drops of Yang Liquid must be accumulated to leave this damned place！
Four hundred drops. Are there so many Yang-attribute natural treasures on Hidden Island？
Yang Kai was a little unsure in his heart, but in any case, finding Yang-attribute natural treasures and increasing the Yang Liquid in the dantian was the most important task at present.
Making the strange insects spray fog again to seal the cave, Yang Kai also left many insects here to guard, and then went down the solitary peak with the other half.
For many consecutive days, Yang Kai had been looking for Yang-attribute natural treasures, and the harvest was quite good. In just four or five days, the Yang Liquid in the dantian had broken through to more than a hundred drops.
Guided by the Yang Source Seal on the chest, as long as it was within a range of three hundred zhang from Yang Kai, these natural treasures could not escape Yang Kai’s search.
Yang Kai was not in a hurry either. Now, the only living person on the entire Hidden Island was probably only him. Except for those powerful demonic beasts, Yang Kai could already be regarded as the master of Hidden Island in a sense.
Exploring and collecting everywhere, whenever encountering natural treasures, all were picked together. Those that were Yang-attribute were absorbed on the spot and converted into Yang Liquid, and those that were not Yang-attribute were kept first and placed in the package.
Occasionally, when encountering some strange flowers and rare herbs guarded by demonic beasts, Yang Kai would direct those strange insects to attract the attention of the demonic beasts, and then he would take the opportunity to pick them, always having a narrow escape.
The map obtained from Madam Jiang was of great help. Previously, Yang Kai didn’t know what the mystery lay in the positions that were key-marked on the map. Later when he accidentally entered one place and encountered a sixth-order monster beast, he suddenly realized that those key-marked places were all dangerous areas.
Ever since then, Yang Kai had bypassed these marked places from a distance, and indeed didn’t encounter any major troubles again.
Fighting everywhere, traveling north and south, in less than half a month, Yang Kai had already explored the entire Hidden Island. All the natural treasures that could be picked had been picked, filling a large package completely.
These things were all good things Compared to Yang Kai’s harvest on the right peninsula of Yunxia back then it was more than ten times richer.
He also harvested a lot of Yang-attribute things, but until now, there were still only about three hundred drops of Yang Liquid in Yang Kai’s dantian.
Three hundred drops of Yang Liquid. If he was lucky enough, perhaps he could persist in flying to Haicheng.
But it was only perhaps. Yang Kai didn’t have full confidence.
In case he couldn’t fly over at that time and accidentally fell into the sea, it would definitely be a dead end. Even if he wasn’t drowned himself, the monster beasts in the sea were enough to take his life.
He had to find some more Yang-attribute things and gather enough four hundred drops to be foolproof.
Could it be… that he really had to beard the tiger？ After thinking about it again and again, Yang Kai gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
