Chapter 2909

Gong Yue had already fallen into the path of evil and no one knew if he would run back to the restriction. The restriction formation on the blood-colored door was already very old, and it had been breaking once by Gong Yue before. If it was damaged again, it might really be cracking so Yang Kai wanted to stay here to guard against it.

This kind of thing had to be done by Yang Kai, and only Yang Kai had this ability.

After a simple discussion, everyone quickly adjusted their breath and cultivated.

Although Hua Yulu and the others were not injured, being used for blood sacrifice in the Six Harmonies Supreme Array had also consumed them greatly. If they wanted to leave here and head to the Tianhe Valley, they had to rest and recover for a while. Everyone was an Emperor Senior, and they always had some precious spirit pills for saving lives on them. At this time, it was not the time to be stingy so they each took out and swallowed them.

Half a day later, Hua Yulu and the others had barely recovered six or seven-tenths of their strength. They didn’t dare to delay and, after saying goodbye to Yang Kai, they all returned the same way, preparing to leave this ancient cave together.

Soon, there was only Yang Kai left alone in the grotto. The surroundings were so quiet that even the sound of breathing was hardly detectable, only the sound of water droplets dripping from the inverted stone pillars, ticking.

This trip to the ancient cave had been full of surprises and close calls, but whenever Yang Kai thought of those dangerous moments, he still felt a little scared.

Seven people came, and in the end, only four were intact. Wu Kuangyi was used for blood sacrifice by Yang Tai, Yang Tai blew himself up and died, Gong Yue was eroded by the demonic thoughts, and the remaining four were also exhausted and in a sorry state.

Now that there was finally some time to recover, Yang Kai naturally raced against time.

Another day passed like this, and then he slowly opened his eyes, silently sensed his current state, and felt that it was almost okay. Only then did he take out his Elder Jade Plate.

This was something Wen Zishan gave him during the conferment ceremony. This elder jade disc not only represents the identity of an elder of the Qingyang Temple, but also has many other wonderful uses.

He slightly activated his Emperor Yuan, and the jade disc levitated in front of him. Immediately, the hand method changed and he continuously pointed at the jade disc. The jade disc hummed continuously. With Yang Kai’s actions, hidden one by one messages were transmitted to the Qingyang Temple through the jade disc.

This kind of contact method is not perfect. It cannot explain overly complicated things, and it is also limited by distance and can only be used within the same great domain. However, it is currently the only means of long-distance communication in the Star Boundary. All major sects have it, and they are roughly the same.

After being busy like this for a while, Yang Kai put away the jade disc, believing that the Qingyang Temple had already received the news. Someone would come to investigate before long.

He continued to meditate and recover.

For more than ten consecutive days, everything was peaceful and nothing happened. Yang Kai’s injuries gradually improved, and the trauma to his Divine Soul was also slowly recovering. Given him a little more time, he felt that he should be able to return to his original state.

He did not let his guard down and always allocated a part of his Divine Sense to be alert to that blood-colored door. Any slight movement could not escape his observation.

On this day, Yang Kai was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed in meditation when suddenly he had an extremely wonderful feeling, as if he had some vague understanding of martial arts. He couldn’t help but be overjoyed. This understanding came out of nowhere and without any sign, but it was a rare opportunity for any martial artist. So he immediately immersed his mind and chased after that deeper understanding and artistic conception.

That inexplicable feeling became clearer and clearer, just like a delicious and mouth-watering delicacy placed in front of him, within easy reach, yet there was an invisible barrier across it, and he could only smell the aroma and couldn’t really taste it.

Yang Kai was not impatient or impetuous. He took one step at a time, steadily and surely, slowly breaking through the obstacle in front of him.

He had a premonition that if he could really understand this layer of perception, then he would definitely be able to promote to the second level of Emperor Zun Realm.

He broke through to the Emperor Zun Realm in the Broken Star Sea. Although the time was not too long, logically it was absolutely impossible to be promoted again. But his experiences in these days had been too rich. He had already accumulated the capital to reach the second level, and what he lacked was just an opportunity.

Now that the opportunity was right in front of him, of course he had to seize it well.

Time passed slowly. Yang Kai didn’t know how long it had been. It seemed like just a moment, and it also seemed like a year and a half. At a certain moment, when he felt that the obstacle suddenly became clear, a new world was presented in front of his eyes.

All kinds of wonderful feelings came one after another from unknown corners and poured into his mind, making him suddenly have an illusion of being omnipotent. And those feelings brought him a wonderful artistic conception, making him involuntarily want to immerse himself in it, swim in it, and spy on the mystery of the peak of martial arts.

At this moment, the environment where Yang Kai was located was very strange. He felt as if he was standing in the starry sky, with stars twinkling all around. Each star was an elusive artistic conception and the mystery of martial arts, and it was a step to the extreme of martial arts. He could reach out and touch them, and as long as he picked these stars, he could achieve a great cause that shocked the ancient and modern times.

Yang Kai slowly stretched out his hand and touched those stars.

Suddenly, a ball of flame burned up in this starry sky. Yang Kai frowned and stared closely at the flame.

This look was no small matter. He actually had an extremely hot and dry feeling, as if his body was being baked on the flames. And this burning sensation was getting stronger and stronger, and more intense, so intense that Yang Kai could hardly bear it.

Just at this time, a cool feeling emerged, as if a basin of cold water was poured down, making Yang Kai feel extremely comfortable like being enlightened.

The great ups and downs of his state of mind made him suddenly alert. The hand that was stretched out was withdrawn all of a sudden, and the state of deep seclusion was broken. Yang Kai perceived the existence of his physical body.

A flash of inspiration appeared in his mind, and he instantly understood what had happened to him. This was not his own enlightenment, but a trap, a trap set by the demonic thoughts behind the blood-colored door！ Everything he saw in front of him was just an illusion.

He didn’t dare to be negligent and immediately let out a loud shout.

The stars trembled, blooming with light one after another, and then converged towards a certain place, instantly turning into a brightly shining character, standing in the void！ The font was completely different from the characters in the current Star Boundary, extremely complex and profound, yet it seemed to contain great mysteries.

“Demonic script！” Yang Kai was shocked. He didn’t expect that he was so cautious but still fell into the trap. He averted his gaze and didn’t look at it, but the light emitted by the font converged into a stream, as if it had consciousness, desperately drilling into Yang Kai’s mind, insisting on branding the true meaning of that demonic script into Yang Kai’s mind.

At the critical moment, Yang Kai’s state of mind calmed down unprecedented (unprecedentedly). A layer of colorful brilliance suddenly bloomed on his body, as if a colorful cloud dress enveloped him.

The light of the demonic script shone, but was blocked by the colorful cloud dress.

Yang Kai sneered and slowly withdrew from this illusion, and his spiritual consciousness returned to his physical body.

Surprisingly smooth, without any hindrance, or rather, the demonic thoughts didn’t have the ability to hinder him.

In the pitch-black cave, light shone out. Yang Kai took a glance and discovered that it was the blood-colored door emitting light. However, after his spiritual awareness returned, that light gradually faded away and finally disappeared.

A cold sweat broke out on his back, and Yang Kai was filled with lingering fear.

The area around his right eye was as hot as if it was on fire, but his mind was as cool as if ice water had been poured into it. It was precisely this alternation of heat and cold that awakened him and freed him from the entanglement of that demonic glyph.

Yang Kai didn’t know if that demonic glyph was the one performed by Yang Tai because he simply didn’t see it clearly. The protection transformed by the Seven-Colored Warm Divine Lotus blocked the true essence of that demonic glyph outside his body and didn’t allow it to penetrate even the tiniest bit.

Now that he thought about it, the reason why Yang Tai was able to understand the true essence of an ancient demonic glyph and thus give birth to demonic nature was probably the same as what he had just experienced. It was just that Yang Tai wasn’t as lucky as he was and didn’t have a supreme treasure like the Seven-Colored Warm Divine Lotus by his side. So he understood the true essence of that demonic glyph. He thought he had obtained a lucky chance and mastered the mystery of martial arts but he didn’t know that it was just a bait. In the end, it triggered a series of tragic events.

To be honest, this encounter made Yang Kai somewhat opened one’s eyes. He had fought against the demons in the Thousand Illusion Dream Realm for two years and had never seen the demons have such elusive and stealthy abilities, like infiltrating the night with the wind and moistening things silently. This was the first time he had encountered such a means.

This is not an attack. It just makes people think they have gained some benefits, but in fact, they are walking step by step on the wrong path and eventually cannot turn back.

And after this incident, Yang Kai also confirmed that the restriction on the blood-colored gate was indeed severely damaged and must be repaired and strengthened quickly. Otherwise, if anyone else finds this place, it is very likely to destroy the restriction and release the magic thoughts behind the door.

In the following days, he was even more cautious. No matter what he did, he would definitely divide a part of his mind to pay attention to the changes of the blood-colored gate, and at the same time guard against the magic thoughts setting traps for him.

However, after one failure, the magic thoughts behind the door seemed to also realize Yang Kai’s difficulty and did not have any more abnormalities.

Yang Kai’s injury improved day by day and finally returned to normal.

A full month later, the powerhouses of several major sects in the Southern Region finally came.

A reply came from the elder’s jade disc, and Yang Kai quickly left the cave and went to the stone forest on the ground to meet them.

At this time, the poisonous barrier around Lu Island was pervasive and it was blocked on all sides. It was not the time for the monsters that could merge and become stronger to look for food. But after getting Yang Kai’s response, the powerhouses of several major sects still decided to break through forcefully and come to meet Yang Kai.

I don’t know what kind of methods they used exactly. Standing on the Lu Island, Yang Kai only heard a series of rumbling noises as if the sky and the earth were turning upside down. Immediately after, a dark light shot out from the colorful poisonous barrier, as if it were a dragon boat riding the wind and waves, breaking through the sea of clouds and landing on the land island.

One by one, powerful auras spread out. When the light dissipated, the figures of more than twenty people were revealed.

Yang Kai swept his gaze and found several old acquaintances.

Led by Elder Xiao Yuyang of the Star God Palace, Gao Xueting of the Qingyang Temple, Chen Wenhao of the Tianwu Holy Land, and Feng Ming of the Wuhua Palace gathered here. Among the four, except for Xiao Yuyang who was at the Third-Order Emperor Senior Realm, the other three were all at the Second-Order Emperor Senior Realm.
