Chapter 741

The old man surnamed Cheng was killed with one strike. Hai Wangu, who had narrowly escaped death, was now like a homeless dog, fleeing in a hurry, trying to stay away from Yang Kai.

Yang Kai gave him a cold look. His body didn’t move, and the great sword that had killed the old man surnamed Cheng suddenly turned into a rope and chased after Hai Wangu like a bone-attached maggot. No matter how he tried to escape, he couldn’t avoid it and was directly bound.

Yang Kai hooked his hand, and the rope that bound Hai Wangu dragged him back as if it had spirituality.

“This is the Nether Heaven Lock？” Yang Kai asked the saintess of the Nine Heavens Holy Land again.

“Yes！”

“Interesting. Why did I suddenly master these soul skills？” Yang Kai looked at her suspiciously. “Moreover, my spiritual consciousness seems to have become much stronger. What did you do to me？”

“Can we talk about these later？” The saintess’s eyes flickered, and she didn’t seem to want to answer.

Yang Kai nodded slightly and didn’t ask further.

The two soul skills Yang Kai just used, he had never come into contact with before, but he was able to use these two moves with ease and master the mysteries within, as if he had cultivated them for a long time.

He couldn’t have known these for no reason. The only explanation was that this woman had done something just now.

That action of hers seemed to directly instill these two soul skills to Yang Kai allowing him to understand all kinds of subtleties in an instant.

Moreover, the spiritual consciousness power Yang Kai exerted wasn’t very strong. Normally, it could at most be evenly matched with Hai Wanggu and the others. But after being fiddled with by this saintess, the not-very-strong power could kill the old man surnamed Cheng with one strike.

Yang Kai was full of doubts in his heart and was not happy about not understanding.

“What do you plan to do with this person？” The saintess pointed at the bound Hai Wanggu and asked.

“What else can I do?” Yang Kai sneered and said, and the rope that bound Hai Wangu suddenly burned. Youdaoplaceholder0 the shrill and desperate screams Hai Wangu’s soul and spirit body was completely burned to ashes, not even a trace left.

The entire Divine Battle Courtyard was left with only Yang Kai and the saintess of the Nine Heavens Holy Land.

They looked at each other, and under Yang Kai’s gaze, the saintess seemed a little uncomfortable, her eyes dodging.

“What’s your name？” Yang Kai asked.

“An Ling’er… and you？”

“Zhang San！”

An Ling’er’s pretty face immediately turned green. Yang Kai’s perfunctory attitude really made her a little angry, but because of identity she couldn’t have an attack, and could only secretly be annoyed.

“Now you can tell me what you did just now, right? Yang Kai asked in a deep voice.” That move of yours seems very strange.”

“Do you really have to know？” An Ling’er gently bit her red lip, and Yang Kai nodded seriously： “If I don’t figure it out, how do I know if it’s harmful to me？”

“Don’t worry about that. It’s definitely not harmful to you, and I don’t have the motive to harm you either.”

“I still hope to figure it out better.”

“Alright！” An Ling’er took a deep breath. “Since you insist so much, then I can tell you.”

After she said that, she fell silent, as if organizing her words. It was only after a long while that she continued, “You should have some understanding of our Nine Heavens Holy Land. Every generation of Holy Lords is brought back by the Holy Maidens after they go out to seek. We use some special methods to find suitable candidates. If they pass the test, they will become the next Holy Lord of the Holy Land. As for what kind of methods are used to seek, please forgive me for not being able to say more. I can only tell you that this is related to the cultivation technique I practice！”

Yang Kai nodded slightly.

“Presumably you have also heard that before the Holy Lord is found, they can be doing anything and their qualifications are also very different. But once they enter the Holy Land and become the Holy Lord, they will be reborn and achieve extraordinary feats. This also has a great relationship with us Holy Maidens.”

“Oh？ How do you say that？”

“We… are born as the cauldrons of the Holy Lord！ Everything we cultivate, everything we master, is prepared for the Holy Lord. Find him, bring him back to the Holy Land, and instill in him all the things we have learned over the years. This is the value of our existence as Holy Maidens. Moreover, because there is more than one Holy Maiden in the Holy Land, the benefits that the Holy Lord can obtain are very huge. This is also the reason why every generation of Holy Lords has earth-shattering abilities. It is because he is not cultivating alone. Depending on the number of Holy Maidens, it may be three or five people helping him to cultivate together, or it may be seven or eight people helping him to cultivate. These people are all his cauldrons, to be taken and plundered at will. The benefits obtained from cultivation all belong to him. Cultivated in this way, it is difficult for the Holy Lord of the Holy Land not to be powerful.”

“So magical？” Yang Kai was astonished.

“This is a secret of the Holy Land. Don’t let it slip out.” An Ling’er seriously warned.

“Don’t worry. My mouth is very tight.” Yang Kai nodded and said thoughtfully, “So, the reason I can master the soul skills of your Nine Heavens Holy Land is completely because you have instilled what you have learned into me？”

“Yes. What you have mastered is what I am proficient in. During their lifetimes, the Holy Maidens don’t kill a single person, but they can assist the Holy Lord in this special way. And the benefits we bring to the Holy Lord are not just these. Just now, you also felt that with my assistance, your spiritual awareness power will become stronger.”

Yang Kai’s expression couldn’t help but become strange： “I’m not the Holy Lord, right？ How could you use it on me？”

An Ling’er sighed and bit her red lip, saying, “Although I don’t want to admit it, you probably possess the qualifications to become the Holy Lord.”

“What are you kidding？”

“It’s true. I just wanted to help you increase your soul power a little so that you could fight those two people. I didn’t have the idea of instilling the Holy Land’s divine skills into you. But I don’t know why you actually comprehended them. Let me ask you, how many divine skills did you comprehend just now？”

“Just those two moves！”

“Two moves are already remarkable. Even with the help of us saintesses for enlightenment, it’s not that easy for the saint master to comprehend the divine skills of the holy land. He is likely to have to try many times before he can completely master a certain divine skill. The fact that you can comprehend two moves in an instant already explains the problem.” An Ling’er had a look of admiration on her face.

Yang Kai rolled his eyes： “How many divine skills have you mastered in total？”

“Nine！” An Ling’er smiled slightly： “Want to learn？”

“Whatever！” Yang Kai was noncommittal and put on an appearance of not being very interested.

“I can teach you all the things I have mastered, but there is one condition that you have to promise me.”

Yang Kai’s face sank immediately. He hated it the most when people bargained with him.

“Come back to the holy land with me. At that time, not only will I help you with enlightenment, but my other three sisters will also contribute. You will grow up in the shortest possible time.”

“You want me to go back with you to be the saint master？” Yang Kai grinned.

“Yes！ I think I have found the right candidate. Although… you are a bit annoying.” An Ling’er said truthfully.

“Not interested！” Yang Kai chuckled and slowly shook his head.

“You…” An Ling’er’s almond-shaped eyes widened in surprise, never expecting Yang Kai to reject so simply and neatly.

The Holy Lord of the Nine Heavens Holy Land, who wouldn’t want to be it? The twenty and thirty islands occupied by the seven-family alliance are extremely lively and the foreign martial artists come in an endless stream like fish crossing the river. Aren’t they all hoping that the Holy Maiden can take a fancy to themselves? Once taken a fancy to, that is to ascend to the sky in one step!

Wherever An Ling’er goes, every place is like the situation on this island. There are people of all ages, and it is overcrowded.

But now, when she took the initiative to make this request, she was actually rejected! An Ling’er couldn’t help but have a feeling that it was not very real, as if she was in a dream, Youdaoplaceholder0 at Yang Kai, unable to speak.

If I want strength, I will practice by myself. What do I need to rely on you women for？” Yang Kai sneered. “Isn’t that just being a gigolo？

Don’t you still not quite understand what benefits you can get from becoming the Holy Lord？” An Ling’er’s delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly. “Becoming the Holy Lord not only means that you will become a hegemon in the world in the future, but also means that you will get things that most people will never get in their lifetimes, wealth, reputation, status, beautiful women, you can have whatever you want！

Including you？” Yang Kai looked at her evilly.”

An Ling’er’s expression suddenly became a little unnatural, but she quickly nodded and said, “That’s right. I was originally the Holy Lord’s cauldron. Not only me, but also my three sisters. As long as you want, no matter what you do to us, we will not resist. You can enjoy the blessings of having multiple wives！”

Very tempting！” Yang Kai licked the corner of his mouth, with a lecherous expression on his face, seemingly extremely tempted.”

“Then you…”

“No way！” Yang Kai sneered, his expression changing faster than turning a page in a book. He shook his head and said, “Where there are gains, there must be losses. Becoming the Saint Lord has such great benefits, so the price to pay must not be small, right？”

An Ling’er’s pretty face changed slightly. She stared deeply at him and gently nodded, saying, “That’s right. There is a rumor in the Holy Land. Although there is no basis for it, I think that should be the price the Saint Lord has to pay！”

“Tell me about it！”

“Every Saint Lord doesn’t live long… It seems that the longest-lived one only lived for three hundred years at most.”

The Nine Heavens Holy Land is a large power. With so many Saintesses as cauldrons to help the Saint Lord cultivate, his strength will definitely progress rapidly. I’m afraid that in just a few decades, he will reach the Third-Order Saint Realm.”

The Third-Order Saint Realm has long exceeded the level of ordinary people, and the lifespan will also be greatly extended. Living only three hundred years is obviously a sign of premature death.”

Even some Third-Order Transcendent Realm powerhouses in certain forces can live for several hundred years.”

Upon hearing that he had to pay such a price, Yang Kai had even less interest in the so-called Saint Lord. Three hundred years seemed very long, but for a martial artist pursuing the path of martial arts, it was just a flick of a finger.”

Yang Kai believed that if he didn’t become the Saint Lord, three hundred years later, he would definitely be alive and well. Maybe he was traveling the world with Su Yan and his Senior Sister, free and unrestrained. How could he cut off his own way for such a small profit in front of him.

But have you ever thought that by paying these prices, you can enjoy a lifetime of glory, which many people can’t pursue in their whole lives.” An Ling’er still wanted to persuade.”

Yang Kai chuckled and said, “In thirty years, I will be able to sit on an equal footing with your Holy Lord.”

“Thirty years…” An Ling’er looked at him in shock and astonishment. “Your tone is not ordinary.”
