Chapter 2652

The door of the palace opened, and Yang Kai stepped out from within. Xi Lei and the others’ eyes lit up, and they all stepped forward with their faces.

Seeing that he was full of energy and in high spirits, Xie Wuwei smiled and said, “Young Master Yang, it seems that your cultivation has advanced a great deal during this seclusion.”

Yang Kai shook his head and said, “I’ve only gained a little. I don’t know when I’ll be able to break through.”

After breaking through to the Emperor Venerable Realm, Yang Kai increasingly felt that the path to promotion was long and distant. He had been in seclusion for nearly a year this time, and his strength had indeed increased somewhat, but he still couldn’t feel the shackles of those two realms.

Ying Fei smiled and said, “The path of cultivation is long and difficult. There’s no need to rush this matter.”

Xi Lei also nodded beside him and said, “Looking at all the Emperor Venerable Realms in the world, which one of them isn’t an old monster who has cultivated for hundreds or even thousands of years? Young Master Yang is so young and has achieved so much. He is already a genius. Given time, there’s no need to worry about not being able to promote.”

Yang Kai naturally understood this truth and also knew that haste makes waste in cultivation. So he didn’t say much more and just said, “How is the formation arranged here？”

Xi Lei quickly handed a simple and unadorned token to Yang Kai and replied, “That Nanmen Dajun is really remarkable. He spent two months improving the protective sect formation completely. This is the prohibition token for controlling the formation.”

Yang Kai took it, probed inside with his spiritual sense, and after a little inspection, he immediately felt that his body was connected to some existence in this piece of heaven and earth.

With a thought, the protective sect formation that enveloped the entire Lingxiao Palace hummed, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth oscillated.

Xi Lei said beside him, “That Nanmen Dajun said that the formation he improved is stronger than the original formation of the Wenqing Sect, so please don’t worry, Young Master Yang.”

Yang Kai responded casually and didn’t doubt this point. He just looked outside the mountain gate curiously and said, “Why are there so many people gathering outside?”

Just now when he inspected the protective sect formation, he found that there were actually some warriors staying outside the mountain gate, and quite a few of them. The cultivation levels of those warriors were uneven. But most of them were young people, either in twos and threes or alone, all of them were heroic. Many people looked at the ten-thousand-year cold heart iron standing outside the mountain gate, stared at the three words Lingxiao Palace, and showed a look of longing in their eyes.

Ying Fei explained, “They all want to come and knock on the mountain gate, hoping to be accepted into Lingxiao Palace, Young Master Yang. The name of Lingxiao Palace has now spread throughout the entire Northern Region. So in the past six months or so, many young people have come here, wanting to see if there is a chance to join. But now the mountain gate is closed, and they can’t get in, so they can only linger outside. Some of them seem to have been waiting for half a year already. They are quite sincere.”

“So that’s how it is.” Yang Kai nodded slightly, not too surprised. After sweeping his spiritual thoughts outside once, he didn’t pay much attention anymore.

The reputation of Lingxiao Palace has been completely established, and with the three great demon kings sitting here, it is naturally a manifestation of strong strength. As a newly established sect, it is precisely the time to absorb fresh blood. How could those martial artists who are scattered outside, without background or backer, not have thoughts.

Just like Liu Xianyun, who was once a hegemon in the Great Wilderness Star Region back then. But after coming to this Star Boundary, she couldn’t even obtain cultivation resources. This is the drawback of not having a sect background. Later, if she hadn’t met Yang Kai again and was introduced into Bingxin Valley, I’m afraid she would still be worrying about her own cultivation resources and wouldn’t be able to cultivate with peace of mind.

The same is true for Chi Yue, Ghost Ancestor and others.

In the entire Star Boundary, there are so many martial artists like this. Not everyone is as lucky as Yang Kai. For them, as long as they can be accepted into Lingxiao Palace, they don’t expect to become prosperous and successful in the future. At least they will have a support in the future.

The mountain gate of Lingxiao Palace has such an effect even before it opens. If it really opens, I’m afraid the entire Northern Territory will be in an uproar. At that time, the people who come will be like fish crossing the river.

Xi Lei said, “Is Young Master Yang going to open the mountain gate and widely accept disciples？”

Yang Kai shook his head and said, “Not in a hurry.”

He occupied such a place mainly to make plans for his relatives and friends in You’an Star. Now he doesn’t even know how to return to the Hengluo Star Field, so how could he easily open the mountain gate.

However, since Yang Yan and the Insect Emperor were able to go to the Hengluo Star Field back then, then he can also, but just doesn’t know the way.

Perhaps, it’s time to find a way to inquire about Yang Yan’s news and then ask her about the situation.

His thoughts fluctuated, and Yang Kai turned around and said, “I’m going to return to the Southern Territory. Which of the three Demon Kings will go with me？”

“I！” Sure enough, the three Demon Kings replied in unison, and then glared at each other.

Ying Fei came back to his senses and said, “Young Master Yang, we’ll all go with you. Why only take one？”

Xi Lei and Xie Wuwei also nodded repeatedly, not understanding why Yang Kai arranged it like this.

Yang Kai said, “You are Demon Kings. If all three of you travel together, it will be too ostentatious and will inevitably attract attention. God knows what kind of twists and turns might occur. Also, I need someone to stay here and oversee this place. Although the High Heaven Palace is protected by the Sect Protecting Great Array and its mountain gate is closed, who knows if there will be some blind guy who comes to cause trouble If all of you leave this place won’t be safe either. Since this young master has founded the High Heaven Palace here, I will surely settle down here in the future. so what are you afraid of?

After hearing this, the three of them also felt that it made a lot of sense. Anyway, they had already boarded Yang Kai’s ship and had also become the enshrineds of the High Heaven Palace. If they pushed too hard and seemed too eager for quick success and instant benefits, they were afraid that it would arouse Yang Kai’s disgust.

Looking at each other, Xie Wuwei smiled and said, “Then Young Master Yang can choose one by himself. No matter who you choose, we will have no objections.”

Ying Fei and Xi Lei also nodded vigorously beside him.

If they were to decide on their own, they would definitely not give in to each other. It would be better to hand the option to Yang Kai and no one could say anything more.

Yang Kai nodded and said, “Then it’s Ying Fei. Demon King Ying Fei’s speed is faster. This trip back to the Southern Territory might require your help with transportation.”

Upon hearing this, Ying Fei was overjoyed and bowed, saying, “Young Master Yang is wise.”

Xi Lei said sullenly, “Then I and Brother Xie will stay and watch the house.”

“Thank you both.” Yang Kai nodded slightly.

After the discussion, Yang Kai took Ying Fei to Bing Xin Valley through the Space Law Formation to bid farewell to Bing Yun.

After a year’s absence, Bing Xin Valley had already taken on a new look. Moreover, after experiencing the previous tribulation, the entire Bing Xin Valley was even more united as one. Many of the disciples were in secluded cultivation and did not dare to be the least bit slack.

He didn’t stay in Bing Xin Valley for long. Just half a day later, Yang Kai and Ying Fei left through the Space Law Formation.

The distance is between the Northern Territory and the Southern Territory was hundreds of millions of miles and there were many dangerous mountains and evil rivers. Even an ordinary Emperor Senior Stage cultivator would not find it easy to cross over. The Space Law Formation could not be connected either, and in many places, they could only fly over.

In the clear sky, above the white clouds.

A huge eagle spread its wings and flew high, its speed as fast as lightning, leaving only a faint trace in the air and turning into a series of afterimages.

This huge eagle was naturally the original body of Ying Fei, the Monster King. As the overlord of the sky, speed was his strong suit. Among all the 32 Monster Kings and 8 Great Saint Envoys in the Ancient Lands, if he claimed to be the second, no one would dare to claim to be the first.

This was also the reason why Yang Kai wanted to bring him along.

On Ying Fei’s back, Yang Kai sat cross-legged. The back was spacious and flat enough to accommodate a house. It flew fast and steadily, and not even a trace of headwind could be felt.

In this world, there were probably very few people who could make an existence at the Monster King level willingly act as a mount.

However, the Eagle Soaring Demon King is now more than happy to do all this and has no complaints at all.

The journey is dull and lonely, and Yang Kai naturally doesn’t waste any time. Instead, he sits cross-legged and cultivates.

During this flight, everything has been peaceful and smooth. Ordinary martial artists simply can’t detect the trace of Eagle Soaring, and those who can detect his traces also dare not come to provoke and have long since retreated.

After a full two months, Eagle Soaring suddenly transmits a voice： “Young Master Yang, we should have arrived in the Southern Domain. Where shall we go now?”

Yang Kai slowly opens his eyes, withdraws his profound energy, gets up and looks around at the direction and says： “Find a city to inquire about the direction.”

Eagle Soaring receives the order and his gaze searches downward.

Half a day later, a rather prosperous city comes into view. Eagle Soaring immediately flaps his wings and flies downward.

Moments later, he withdraws his original body, transforms into a human form, restrains his demonic energy, and lands at the city gate together with Yang Kai.

The two of them have no intention of entering the city. Yang Kai just casually stops a passing martial artist and asks： “Excuse me, which direction is the Thousand Leaves Sect？”

This time he returns to the Southern Domain, mainly to go to the Thousand Leaves Sect. The Red Moon Ghost Ancestor and a group of people are still staying in the Thousand Leaves Sect. Now that he has founded the Lingxiao Palace, naturally he has to send them to the Northern Domain. Compared with the Thousand Leaves Sect, the cultivation environment of the current Lingxiao Palace is naturally better and safer.

It’s just that the Southern Territory is vast. Although he has returned here, he doesn’t know the specific direction of Thousand Leaves Sect and can only ask people for the location.

That martial artist was in a hurry to enter the city. He was suddenly stopped by someone and flew into a rage. Relying on his Dao Source Realm cultivation, he was about to go berserk, but then he saw a shining top-grade source crystal in Yang Kai’s hand. His eyes lit up immediately, and he snatched it away. After carefully looking at it for two eyes and confirming it was correct, he put it away and looked at Yang Kai curiously and said, “Are you a disciple of Thousand Leaves Sect？”

Yang Kai shook his head and said, “No. Why do you ask？”

That person looked around, and then said in a low voice, “Since you’re not a disciple of Thousand Leaves Sect, don’t ask too much. Thousand Leaves Sect has suffered a disaster and gotten into trouble.”

“What do you mean？” Yang Kai’s face changed, and he instinctively felt that something was not right.

Logically speaking, Thousand Leaves Sect is just an unremarkable small sect in the Southern Territory and not well-known enough. He didn’t expect to find out the news so easily when he came here to inquire. Unexpectedly, just by asking the first person, it seems that he knows a lot about Thousand Leaves Sect, and also said that Thousand Leaves Sect has suffered a disaster.

That person asked curiously, “Friend, did you just come out of seclusion? Why haven’t you heard this news?”

Yang Kai said in a deep voice, “What exactly happened？”

That person said in a low voice, “Thousand Leaves Sect has been wiped out.”

“What?” Yang Kai was shocked and simply couldn’t believe his ears.

The man shook his head and said, “Qianye Sect overreached itself and tried to shake a big tree like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. It was wiped out as early as a year ago. Now that Qianye Sect has fallen, the monkeys have scattered. If you have any relationship with Qianye Sect, it’s better to get out as soon as possible to avoid getting into trouble.”
