Chapter 778
byJust like this would be fine, it could only be said that he had indeed been recognized by the Saintess.
Even more commendable was that his cultivation was not low either, reaching the extraordinary 2-layer realm!
When he came, Xu Hui was still speculating what kind of cultivation this future Holy Lord would have. If it was at the Divine Movement Realm level, it would be just so-so. With the resources and secret techniques of the Holy Land for cultivation, it wouldn’t take decades to stand at the peak of martial arts. Unexpectedly, the actual situation surprised him greatly.
Such a young extraordinary realm was a rare existence on the entire continent.
Thinking about the message left by Qian Ning before his death, Xu Hui couldn’t help but show a smile, and the more he looked at Yang Kai, the more pleasing he became.
“By the way, Saintess, how did you escape from those overseas islands？ As far as I know, those overseas islands have been destroyed by Saintess Nan, and the people there suffered greatly. Almost no one survived！” During the flight, Xu Hui asked curiously.
An Ling’er looked at Yang Kai, and Yang Kai nodded slightly. Only then did she talk about the ancient ruins in the seabed.
“Void passageway？” Xu Hui raised his brows and said thankfully, “This is truly the blessing of the heavens upon our Holy Land. So, after coming out from the void passageway, you arrived in the Demon Frontier, right？”
“Yes.” Yang Kai quickly nodded, fearing that An Ling’er would also let slip the matter of the Little Mysterious Realm. “After arriving in the Demon Frontier, we accidentally fell into the hands of Shirley and only managed to escape a few days ago！”
“Demon General Shirley？” Xu Hui’s complexion changed drastically, and the other three people also had shocked expressions. It seemed that they didn’t expect Yang Kai and An Ling’er to be able to escape from such a character’s hands. Suddenly, they felt a great deal of admiration.
Asking themselves, if they fell into Shirley’s hands, they would probably also end up dead without a doubt.
Realizing this, the powerhouses of the Nine Heavens Holy Land became even more respectful towards Yang Kai, the future Holy Lord.
Flying past various famous mountains and great rivers along the way, Xu Hui and the others did not slow down at all. They flew thousands of miles a day and had long since shaken off the pursuit of Granny Nan Sheng.
On the way, Xu Hui also inquired about Yang Kai’s background intentionally or unintentionally. When he learned that he came from the Tianxiao Sect, he couldn’t help but be a little surprised.
The Tianxiao Sect was also a not weak force. However, it was very far away from the Nine Heavens Holy Land, and there was no contact between them.
“The strength of the Tianxiao Sect has also increased sharply recently. It seems that four Saint Realm masters have suddenly emerged.” Speaking of the Tianxiao Sect, an old man with a pale complexion in the team sighed. “In this way, their overall strength is actually higher than that of our Holy Land.”
“Four more？” Yang Kai’s expression lit up when he heard this, and immediately thought of Cang Yan and Fei Yu and the others. It seems that the medicinal liquid of the Millennium Demon Flower obtained from Floating Cloud City is indeed of great help to them.”
“I have also heard of this matter. It is said that the four of them, nearly two years ago, took an alchemist to Floating Cloud City in the Neutral Territory to compete for that Millennium Demon Flower… If I remember correctly, that alchemist seemed to be a young man too, well, about the same age as our future Holy Lord! ” As he spoke, Xu Hui gave Yang Kai a meaningful glance.
Yang Kai had an indifferent expression and pretended not to hear. At this time, no matter what was said, it would be self-explanatory. Xu Hui was an old fox. Obviously, he had already guessed something.
However, since this old guy had no ill intentions towards himself, Yang Kai wasn’t very worried.
Seeing that Yang Kai didn’t respond, Xu Hui chuckled and said, “There’s no need to envy others. With our new Holy Lord, our Holy Land will be able to recover its vitality in no time, and maybe even go a step further.”
“That’s right, that’s right！” Everyone quickly nodded in agreement, all placing great expectations on Yang Kai.
Yang Kai furrowed his brows and said, “Several seniors, I have no intention of coveting your Holy Lord’s throne. When we reach a suitable place, let’s part ways.”
“Huh?” Xu Hui had a look of astonishment on his face. “You don’t want to be the Holy Lord?
Yang Kai nodded. “I have also said this to An Ling’er many times. I learned your three Divine Skills of the Ninth Heaven without knowing. At most, I won’t use these three Divine Skills in the future.”
“This…” The several people were suddenly a bit dumbfounded.
An Ling’er pursed her red lips and also said, “I have a great responsibility for this matter. He didn’t mean to learn the Divine Skills of my Holy Land. If several seniors want to blame someone, blame me.”
Xu Hui furrowed his brows, looked at Yang Kai and An Ling’er, and didn’t know what he was thinking. Suddenly, he laughed heartily. “Let’s not talk about this matter for now. Since the little brother is from Tianxiao Sect, we won’t make things difficult for you. How about this? If it’s convenient for you, come and visit our Holy Land with us for a few days first and see with your own eyes what the Holy Land is like. At that time, if you still insist on this, we will definitely not force you！”
Yang Kai’s expression flickered, knowing that in front of these several Saint Realm powerhouses, he couldn’t refuse.
Once he refused, they were afraid they would use force. Although they wouldn’t hurt him, they would definitely take him back to the Ninth Heaven Holy Land.
Xu Hui had already made enough concessions. With his status and strength, if he really made up his mind to use force, Yang Kai believed he couldn’t resist. His words showed his sincerity.
“Alright！” Yang Kai slightly nodded, not wanting to have any more disputes with them.
Seeing that he agreed, An Ling’er couldn’t help but show a delighted expression.
Everyone continued to move forward.
Different from the previous harmonious atmosphere, after learning that Yang Kai had no intention of being the Holy Lord, Xu Hui and the other three constantly exchanged glances and transmitted divine thoughts, as if they were discussing something.
Yang Kai noticed this but pretended not to know.
Moments later, the four of them began to bombard him with words one after another, describing the strength and foundation of the Nine Heavens Holy Land one by one, showing Yang Kai the various benefits and wonderful prospects after becoming the Holy Lord, attempting to tempt him with these.
Yang Kai let them talk eloquently, treating it as a deaf ear, and never let go. making Xu Hui and the others extremely helpless.
However, from their verbal descriptions, Yang Kai indeed saw a behemoth.
In the Nine Heavens Holy Land, although the lifespan of each Holy Lord was short, each Holy Lord could reach the peak cultivation level of the Third-Order Saint Realm.
For any power, as long as there was a Third-Order Saint Realm powerhouse, then this power was the top.
And the way they cultivate the Holy Lord is also different. There are some places in the Holy Land that only the Holy Lord can enter. If one cultivates there, the strength will increase by leaps and bounds. The mystery and secret in it, Xu Hui and the others can’t explain clearly either.
What’s more, there are Holy Maidens to assist in cultivation. There are as many as seven or eight Holy Maidens, and as few as three or four. It’s difficult for the Holy Lord’s strength not to increase quickly. Each Holy Maiden has gone through layers of selection and strict screening. Whether it’s the bone structure or the appearance, they are all the best in the world. These Holy Maidens obey the Holy Lord’s orders and give whatever he asks for.
It can be said that as long as one becomes the Holy Lord of the Nine Heavens Holy Land, not only can one enjoy the blessings of having many wives, but also aspire to dominate the world and rule one side.
The only drawback is the lifespan！
Not only the lifespan of the Holy Lord is short, but also the lifespan of the Holy Maidens is the same.
The previous old Holy Lord originally had six Holy Maidens, but within the past fifty years, five Holy Maidens have fallen one after another, leaving only Aunt Nan Holy Maiden.
When the old Holy Lord died, Aunt Nan Holy Maiden also fell at the same time.
The previous generation of Holy Lords and Holy Maidens have all passed away. Now the hope of the Holy Land is pinned on Yang Kai and An Ling’er. How could Xu Hui and the others easily let Yang Kai leave？
“Great Elder, where are Little Lotus and the others？” An Ling’er spied a hint of unusual information from the words of Xu Hui and the others and quickly asked in a trembling voice.
Xu Hui’s face darkened. After a moment of hesitation, he still replied, “All dead. Among the four holy maidens of this generation, apart from you, the other three have all been killed by Saintess Nan！”
“Ah…” An Ling’er couldn’t help but cover her mouth, her eyes trembling.
She had originally hoped that the other three sisters could bring back a suitable candidate for the holy master. In this way, perhaps the great elder and the others would no longer force Yang Kai to be the holy master. But she didn’t expect to receive such bad news and couldn’t accept it for a while.
However, upon careful consideration, there was no Saint Realm powerhouse protecting the team of the holy maidens when they went out. Once they were discovered by Saintess Nan, they simply couldn’t resist.
She was also considered lucky to have met Yang Kai and coincidentally learned about the existence of a Void Tunnel in advance. Otherwise, her fate might have been the same as that of the other three holy maidens, without any difference.
“Your Highness Holy Maiden, please mourn with moderation!” Xu Hui quickly comforted. “So, now the Holy Land is all relying on the two of you.”
As he spoke, he stared at Yang Kai with burning eyes. “Forgive this old man for being rude. I will call you little brother for now. If little brother doesn’t agree to become the holy master, within a hundred years, the Holy Land will disappear.”
Xu Hui’s expression was sincere, and his tone was solemn.
The other three also quickly pleaded, “Please little brother agree to our rude request. The inheritance of the Holy Land cannot be cut off in our generation!
Yang Kai took a light breath and comforted, “Tides rise and fall, flowers bloom and wither. No power can last forever in this world. You should think about it more openly. Even the powerful Great Demon God in the past eventually fell. Moreover… I’m not the only person in the world who is suitable to be the Holy Lord. It’s just that An Ling’er didn’t find him.”
“Little brother doesn’t know the inside story, so it’s no wonder you would say that. Every saintess of the Holy Land can only choose one candidate for the Holy Lord in her lifetime. Once selected, she will no longer have any induction to other people. Now that the saintess has chosen you, there is absolutely no reason to choose someone else！”
“So, currently, the only person in the world who can be the Holy Lord is me？” Yang Kai furrowed his brows, and immediately felt that the matter had become thorny.
Xu Hui and the others all nodded, with serious expressions.
“If little brother doesn’t agree, then our Nine Heavens Holy Land can only wait for destruction！”
“We beseech little brother to inherit the position of the Holy Lord!”
“Don’t force me! If you push me too hard, I’ll turn against you!” Yang Kai glanced at him.
Xu Hui’s complexion changed, and he quickly said, “Dare not, dare not！”
Seeing Yang Kai’s impatience, An Ling’er quickly said, “Didn’t we say not to talk about this now? Why did you bring it up again.”
Xu Hui gave an embarrassed smile and said self-deprecatingly, “I’m getting old and muddled. Please don’t blame me, little brother. Let’s go back to the Holy Land first and let the little brother see the elegance of our Holy Land. I and others will definitely give you a good reception.”
“Soon, soon. It will be here in three to five days.” Another person quickly answered.
