Chapter 1820
byGhost Ancestor felt that he was really too tragic.
Three days of expounding the Tao and resolving doubts made his image in the hearts of nearly ten thousand disciples of Lingxiao Sect suddenly become tall and mighty. He was also quite complacent and happy that he could quickly gain the recognition of the disciples and integrate into Lingxiao Sect.
Yesterday, he was strolling leisurely around Lingxiao Sect. After all, this place would also be his sect in the future, so naturally, he had to get familiar with the environment first.
The ninety-nine and eighty-one peaks of Lingxiao Sect were rich in spiritual energy and had a majestic terrain, which made him extremely satisfied.
The Three-Flame Fire Ring that guarded the outside of Lingxiao Sect also shocked him extremely. He didn’t know what kind of powerful person had set up such a means. Even a strong person like him didn’t dare to go deep into it.
When passing by Hundred Flowers Residence, on a whim, he walked in.
Yang Yan was closing her eyes and feigning sleep at that time. Ghost Ancestor stood aside and looked for a while, mistaking that she was cultivating some kind of cultivation method. After Yang Yan opened her eyes, he put on the demeanor of a master and gave a few pointers. He originally thought that he would definitely get her gratitude and worship, but who knew that Yang Yan just laughed at him.
It was this one laugh that completely confused him.
The whole person was instantly stunned in place, and this one laugh kept echoing in his mind, as if it was endless. It was not until today that he gradually woke up.
How could Ghost Ancestor not know that he had kicked on an iron plate？ Immediately, he regarded Yang Yan as a celestial being and no longer dared to be presumptuous in front of her.
He still didn’t know what kind of cultivation base Yang Yan was.
Just by a meaningless laugh, he was made to be in a nightmare and unable to come back to his senses. Such a means couldn’t be achieved even by a Void King Realm Third Layer powerhouse, right？ If he hadn’t experienced it personally, Ghost Ancestor would never have believed such a ridiculous thing no matter what.
The only thing that can be confirmed is that Yang Yan’s cultivation is definitely higher than his own. Because no matter how the Ghost Ancestor observes, he can’t see through Yang Yan’s depth, and there is definitely no secret treasure on the other party that isolates the detection of divine thoughts.
What is the origin of this woman？ She is so terrifying！
Youngster Yang is really too unkind. There is such a powerful person in the sect, and he didn’t even give me a heads-up in advance, causing me to show off my incompetence in front of her and make a fool of myself.
Recalling those few words of guidance he gave yesterday, the Ghost Ancestor wished he could find a hole in the ground and get in and never come out.
That feeling is like a toddler telling an adult that I will teach you how to fight…
What kind of sect is this? There is not only such a perverted rising star as Youngster Yang in the sect, who has already reached the Void King Realm at a young age, but also that white-clothed woman, and a Void King-level alchemist. And now there is such a terrifying woman.
I won’t have stepped into a pit, right？ The Ghost Ancestor’s heart is in a turmoil, uneasy.
“Sect Master, you know my character. Please say a few good words for me.” Seeing that Yang Yan was still not happy, the Ghost Ancestor could only look at Yang Kai for help.
Yang Kai coughed lightly, thought for a while and said, “Yang Yan, Senior Ghost Ancestor also meant well. Let’s just forget about this matter.”
Ghost Ancestor nodded repeatedly at the side： “This was indeed an inadvertent mistake on my part. As the saying goes, those who don’t know are not to be blamed. I hope you, sir, will be magnanimous and forgive me.”
Yang Yan snorted softly, but her expression softened a lot.
Yang Kai smiled slightly： “Since you fell asleep, it’s been almost ten years since we last saw each other. There’s no need for you to be angry with me as soon as we meet, right？”
“Who’s angry with you？” Yang Yan coldly glanced at Yang Kai.
Yang Kai touched his nose awkwardly： “You seem to be in a very bad temper now, completely different from before.”
Ghost Ancestor was furious at the side: “It must be because you, lad, are nostalgic for the pleasures of the wind, flowers, snow, and moon and have neglected this adult!”
As soon as these words were spoken, Ghost Ancestor also realized something was wrong. His original intention was to please Yang Yan, but he didn’t know that these words were full of ambiguity.
Sure enough, Yang Yan leisurely glanced at him and then smiled “hehe”.
Here it comes again…
Ghost Ancestor’s complexion changed drastically. The next moment, his whole body became stiff in place, and his eyes were gods…
“Why bother? Sigh.” Yang Kai couldn’t help but smile bitterly. With his eyesight, he could naturally see at a glance that Ghost Ancestor was intimidated by Yang Yan’s soul and was probably going to experience some nightmare-like torture.
“Just a slight punishment. Why worry so much?” Yang Yan said indifferently. “Moreover, this is not without benefits for him. Do you think just anyone can be suppressed by this Palace’s divine sense?”
“Since it’s beneficial to him, then it’s fine.” Yang Kai smiled slightly. Staring at Yang Yan, he said, “I always feel that after you woke up, you are different from before.”
“The previous one was this my Dharma Body, and now is this my main body. How can they be the same?” Yang Yan’s expression was indifferent, with a kind of coldness that rejects people thousands of miles away. This made Yang Kai feel a little uncomfortable, and immediately lost the interest in talking and silently sipped tea.
After a long silence, Yang Yan suddenly said, “Your cultivation progress is not bad. I didn’t expect you to be able to promote to the Void King Realm in such a short time. Perhaps with your ability… you can really protect this star field.”
“Me？” Yang Kai pointed to himself and smiled bitterly, “The only ones I want to protect are my relatives and friends. The star field is too big and has nothing to do with me.”
“If you really think so, then you are wrong.” Yang Yan looked at Yang Kai seriously, “Do you know why I came to this star field？”
Yang Kai frowned, vaguely realizing that Yang Yan was probably going to say some secret again. He shook his head and said, “You haven’t said it before, so how would I know? But I guess it should be related to the Insect Emperor.”
In this star field, for countless years, only the Insect Emperor can be comparable to Yang Yan. In the past, the two had a great battle. One person’s physical body was destroyed, and the other fell into a deep sleep. Outside You’an Star, many stars were shattered, and there is still a strong imperial might left, turning into a dead zone, showing the fierceness of the battle at that time.
When Yang Yan asked this, he immediately thought of the Insect Emperor.
“That’s right. My arrival here is indeed related to the Insect Emperor. Do you know what the Insect Emperor came here for？” Yang Yan continued to ask.
Yang Kai shook his head again.
Yang Yan said, “He came here to devour the power of the laws of heaven and earth and achieve the supreme emperor way. If he succeeds, all the cultivation stars in this star field will turn into dead stars. Therefore, I chased after him and fought a life-and-death battle with him.”
“Why does he want to devour the laws of heaven and earth？” Yang Kai looked at Yang Yan in shock.
“The emperor’s path is to control the laws. Only by controlling the laws can one achieve the body of the Great Emperor！” Yang Yan explained. “But how easy is it to master the power of the laws？ Ninety percent of those who become emperors do not have a deep understanding of the power of the laws. To understand the power of the laws, in addition to self-cultivation and perception, there is also a shortcut…”
Yang Kai seemed to think of something faintly and said in horror, “Refine the origin of the stars？”
He refined the origin of the stars and could vaguely feel a trace of the laws of You’an Star, so he was able to think of this.
“That’s right.” Yang Yan nodded. “However, what the Insect Emperor wants to do is not to refine the origin of a cultivation star. He wants to devour it！ Devour the origin, integrate the laws of the cultivation star into his own body, and refine it. This is the shortcut he wants to take.”
Yang Kai broke out in a cold sweat in an instant…
If the Insect Emperor really succeeds, I’m afraid countless cultivation stars in this star field will be destroyed, and it’s even possible that all of them will perish.
“You should know that this world is not just this star field of yours. There are many other star fields. Between the star fields, there is the power of the domain boundary. Even a Supreme Emperor would find it extremely difficult to open that domain boundary power. So you don’t know the existence of the star fields outside.” Ignoring Yang Kai’s shock, Yang Yan continued to speak unhurriedly, “Many, many years ago, the powerhouses in our place discovered such a shortcut to become a Supreme Emperor and understand the power of the law. They all used their great supernatural powers to break through the domain boundary and go to different star fields to refine and devour the laws of heaven and earth in those star fields. The result of doing this was that within just a hundred years, nineteen star fields became lifeless and completely collapsed！ Each of these nineteen star fields was more prosperous than yours here.”
Yang Kai broke out in even more cold sweat.
“Any star field is the foundation of martial artists. The destruction of a star field is of great importance. At that time, ten powerhouses realized the seriousness of the problem, so they joined hands and called on other powerhouses to stop those who had ulterior motives from breaking into the major star fields. If any were found, they would be killed without mercy. Although it was quite effective, it could not be eradicated completely. Some people always like to take risks. The Insect Emperor is one of them chased after him, and that’s how the following things happened.”
“This… the amount of information is a bit large. I can’t accept it for a while. How about you tell me when you are in a better mood another day？” Yang Kai wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and was about to turn around and leave.
He always had a not-so-good feeling.
But the next moment, he found himself imprisoned by an invisible force and could only sit where he was and couldn’t move.
Yang Yan glanced at him obliquely and continued, “Actually, every star field has its own guardian. This is also the best way to prevent those with malicious intentions from invading. Once a warrior who exceeds the power of the star field is found to enter, those guardians can get the news in the first place and then go to intercept. However, the guardian of your star field has been missing for tens of thousands of years. No one knows whether he is alive or dead. So I came here. By the way, that Mysterious Realm Pearl of yours is his thing.”
Yang Yan looked at Yang Kai with a smile, with a malicious expression on his face. “I also have my own guarded star field. I have been away from there for a long time. Now that I have awakened, it is impossible for me to stay here any longer. In the future, the safety of this star field can only depend on you. Since you have obtained that person’s Mysterious Realm Pearl, then you should inherit his mantle and become the guardian of this star field. Moreover, there are your relatives and friends here, and you can’t stay out of it, right？”
“If you don’t have the ability and one day someone comes over and refines You’an Star, you can’t blame others. If you want your relatives and friends to be safe, then work hard to cultivate. When you have the same cultivation level as me one day, you can naturally protect this star field.”
After Yang Yan finished speaking, he ignored Yang Kai and picked up the teacup to drink carefully.
The force that imprisoned Yang Kai had disappeared, but Yang Kai did not leave. Instead, he sat there, Youdaoplaceholder0 and meditating, as if digesting what Yang Yan had just said.
