Chapter 1939

This discovery made Yang Kai’s heart freeze.

Because this was the truly dangerous place of the Ice Cliff.

That omnipresent ice-cold artistic conception could erode a martial artist’s mind, causing people to lose their lives unconsciously without even realizing it. Therefore, those dead martial artists could maintain a peaceful expression without any sign of struggle or pain.

After checking the cave dwellings, Yang Kai thought for a while and then directly jumped down towards the bottom of the Ice Cliff.

Although Kou Wu repeatedly told Yang Kai not to go deep into the Ice Cliff, since there is the power of Emperor Prestige here, which is rarely seen, Yang Kai naturally wants to experience it.

Back then, he comprehended the Emperor Prestige in the Dead Zone outside the Dark Star and gained a lot.

He already has his own way to deal with the suppression of the Emperor Prestige.

However, he didn’t dare to be too rampant. Instead, he controlled his speed and slowly descended little by little.

Just as Kou Wu said, the lower he goes, the stronger the power of the Emperor Prestige is, and the more terrifying the icy artistic conception contained in it is.

After only descending a hundred zhang, Yang Kai is already a bit struggling. Even with all his strength fully unleashed, he still can’t resist the bone-piercing cold. Even the operation of his own source power becomes extremely difficult.

In desperation, Yang Kai can only activate his own domain.

When his domain was formed back then, it was also under the suppression of the Emperor Prestige in the Emperor Garden. The Emperor Prestige in the Emperor Garden is no weaker than that here.

So his domain has a certain degree of resistance to the Emperor Prestige.

As soon as the domain came out, Yang Kai suddenly felt much more relaxed.

Quietly releasing his spiritual thoughts, he probed downward, wanting to check how deep this Ice Cliff is. But soon, Yang Kai in horror withdrew his spiritual thoughts.

Because he discovered that the icy artistic conception and the power of the laws had actually frozen the divine sense he released. If he hadn’t withdrawn it in time, I’m afraid his divine sense would have been damaged.

After realizing this, Yang Kai no longer dared to release his divine sense outward.

It was dark and gloomy below, like an abyss beast opening its big mouth, making people tremble in their hearts.

Continuing to dive three hundred zhang. There was a clicking sound coming from outside Yang Kai’s body.

That was a sign that the domain field was about to reach its limit. If he continued to dive deeper, the domain field was bound to collapse. At that time, relying solely on Yang Kai’s own strength, he simply couldn’t resist the imperial might and the icy artistic conception hundreds of zhang deep. There was only a dead end.

This was his own limit！ Yang Kai understood in his heart and didn’t go to be brave. Instead, he lifted his body and flew upward.

Although this exploration yielded nothing, Yang Kai also knew that this was indeed a good place to temper his own will. From a certain point of view, he still had to thank that Bian Yuqing well.

He didn’t fly to the very top of the ice cliff but chose to dig a cave for himself at a position a hundred zhang away from the top.

This was the most suitable position for his current strength. The imperial might and the icy artistic conception here were both at the level that he could just barely resist. Closing the door to cultivate in such a position would be of great benefit to his own growth.

The matter of digging the cave actually took Yang Kai some effort.

The ice cliff had been immersed in this special icy environment for a long time, and the rock wall had long been corroded by the imperial might and the power of the laws. It had become no longer ordinary rock, but extremely hard ice rock.

Yang Kai spent a full three days before excavating a simple cave dwelling.

And this cave dwelling was only the size of two rooms.

He didn’t rush to go into secluded cultivation. Instead, he sat cross-legged in the cave dwelling, resisting the harsh environment while recovering.

Fortunately, in the previous period, he helped others refine pills and had accumulated a lot of Void King-level spirit pills and source crystals, so the recovery speed was very fast.

Yang Kai spent a few more days adjusting his state to the best degree. Only then did he begin to focus on the most important thing at present.

Breakthrough！

His strength had been accumulated to the peak of the Void King 2-layer realm, and his perception of the martial arts and the way of heaven was also almost enough. After coming to this star realm and entering the Azure Feather Sect, he already had the qualification to break through.

However, he didn’t rush to do that.

On the one hand, he didn’t want to show too much. He was now under someone else’s roof, and it was always right to be careful. On the other hand, he also wanted to accumulate more to make this breakthrough smoother. The most important thing was that there was no suitable place.

Although he also had a residence in the Azure Feather Sect and could use his identity plaque to activate the prohibition of that house to prevent the spy of ordinary warriors, it absolutely couldn’t stop Bian Yuqing’s divine sense inspection.

Yang Kai didn’t want to expose his secrets.

This wasn’t Dark Star. On Dark Star, he was the master, and with a thought, he could find an uninhabited and undisturbed place for secluded cultivation.

He originally planned to stay in Azure Feather Sect for a while longer, gain Bian Yuqing’s trust, and then temporarily leave the sect to find a suitable location for secluded cultivation and breakthrough.

However, this trip to the Ice Cliff had given him different thoughts.

Wasn’t this Ice Cliff a very good place for breakthrough？

This place was tens of thousands of miles in radius and uninhabited. Moreover, there was an abundance of the might of the Emperor and the power of laws. Even if he made some noise when breaking through, it couldn’t spread too far.

After three months, when he broke through to the Third-layer Void King Realm and returned to Azure Feather Sect, if Bian Yuqing asked, he would also have a good explanation.

At that time, he would just tell her that he had gained some insights during his secluded cultivation on the Ice Cliff. He believed that she wouldn’t go into details. After all, the Third-layer Void King Realm was really nothing to her.

For various reasons, Yang Kai felt that his breakthrough was bound to happen.

Regarding how to break through to the Third-layer Void King Realm, Yang Kai had also considered a lot in these years and had long had a plan.

In the cave, he sat cross-legged, and all around were filled with the Source Crystals he had earned during this period. Roughly counting, there were at least thirty thousand pieces.

These were all the Source Crystals Yang Kai currently had.

Even though he was a Void King-level alchemist and had been constantly refining pills for others in the past month or so, it wasn’t that easy to earn Source Crystals.

However, thirty thousand low-grade Source Crystals should be enough to support his breakthrough this time.

He didn’t rush to impact his own realm. Instead, in the extremely cold environment, he recalled the martial arts path of his life.

Learning from Lingxiao Pavilion, starting as a trial disciple and gradually growing up, experiencing countless hardships and difficulties. There were beautiful companions on the journey, so it wasn’t lonely…

His growth time wasn’t long. Among all the Void King Jing martial artists, his age was considered very young, but his life experience was rich and colorful, not much worse than those old monsters who had lived for hundreds or even thousands of years.

One scene after another of the years passed was playing back in Yang Kai’s mind, as if it was yesterday’s experience, and the excitement and danger were clearly visible.

Yang Kai’s mood was as calm as a deep well.

Time passed slowly, and Yang Kai forgot everything.

That icy cold law lingered around his body, invading his flesh and blood, and seeping into his internal organs.

In the cave, Yang Kai’s hair and beard gradually turned white, as if frozen by frost. The characteristics of life gradually weakened, and even his breathing and heartbeat became slower and slower.

He gradually became the same as those dozen or so dead disciples of the Green Feather Sect, as if he was going to move towards the end of his life in the cold.

But inside his body, earth-shattering changes were taking place.

In the lower abdomen, the power that was a mixture of Source Force and Saint Yuan raged and rampaged. His physical body’s qi and blood also scattered and gathered at the position of the dantian in the abdomen gives rise to the miraculous transformation of that area.

The biggest difference between a Void King Stage 2 martial artist and a Stage 3 martial artist is not the conversion ratio of Source Force and Saint Yuan in the body. Even without a trace of Source Force, a martial artist can still advance to the Void King Stage 3.

The difference between the two lies in the Void Thought Crystal！

Only by condensing one’s own Void Thought Crystal can one truly become a Void King Stage 3 martial artist！

And the Void Thought Crystal is the essence of a martial artist’s whole body, containing all of this martial artist’s insights into the martial way and the Heavenly Dao.

Just like the nature of the inner core in a demonic beast’s body. A demonic beast can use the inner core in its body to activate its own secret techniques and enhance the killing power and might of the secret techniques.

Martial artists above the Void King Stage 3 can also do the same！ The Void Thought Crystal is the visualization of a martial artist’s insights into the Heavenly Dao and the martial way. When facing an enemy, the killing moves used will have greater power.

In a critical moment, one can even directly sacrifice the Void Thought Crystal and perish together with the enemy, just like a demonic beast sacrificing its inner core. There is no difference between the two.

And to condense one’s own Void Thought Crystal, one needs to first figure out a problem – which system of power is one specializing in.

The Void Thought Crystal is not omnipotent. Its existence can often only strengthen a martial artist’s power in a certain aspect and cannot cover everything. For example, Yang Kai, when he first entered the martial arts he cultivated the yang-attribute cultivation method. Later, he could fall into the devil way, and the power in his body was transformed into something like devilish flames. Even the secret techniques he cultivated, such as the Golden Blood Thread and the Indestructible Five Elements Sword Qi, could be condensed into his own Void Thought Crystal.

However, once the choice is made, the Void Thought Crystal can only strengthen the power in that aspect.

If Yang Kai condenses his perception of the Indestructible Five Elements Sword Qi into a Void Thought Crystal, then the power of the Indestructible Five Elements Sword Qi he cast in the future will be greatly enhanced.

The same is true if he chooses the Golden Blood Thread…

However, Yang Kai does not intend to do so. His Void Thought Crystal, of course, is first and foremost for the power of space！

The power of space is mysterious and difficult to defend against, and is more outstanding than any other power. Since Yang Kai is proficient in the power of space, he naturally has to start from this aspect. This is an idea that he has never changed.

This is also the reason why he dares not break through in the Blue Feather Sect.

This is his trump card. Bian Yuqing still doesn’t know that he has cultivated the power of space. If it is exposed when he breaks through, I’m afraid it will immediately attract the attention of the high-level officials of the Blue Feather Sect.

The power of space, in the vast Star Boundary, is also a power that few people can be proficient in.

In the lower abdomen, the power mixes with source force and Saint Yuan is constantly gathering and slowly condensing accompanied by unimaginable pain during the process.

At the same time, within his Sea of Consciousness, his own comprehension and understanding of Spatial Force were transforming into intangible power, cleansing his Sea of Consciousness.

His Divine Soul was unprecedentedly peaceful, concentrating all his consciousness within his body. In that wonderful artistic conception, the ethereal and traceless Spatial Force surged out. He was completely unaware, earnestly experiencing the essence of this power and slowly comprehending.

Time passed quickly and quietly.

Gradually, an extremely obvious fluctuation of Spatial Force spread out from his body, shattering the frozen frost layer on his body surface.
