Chapter 789
byIn front of a ruin, Xu Hui stared blankly at Yang Kai, almost unable to believe his eyes.
Shi Kun, Cheng Yuetong and others beside him also had this expression.
“Don’t be so surprised. Do you think I’m dead in there？” Yang Kai chuckled.
Xu Hui finally came back to his senses, looking overjoyed with tears streaming down his face. His body trembled and he clenched his fists and said, “Welcome the Holy Lord out of seclusion!”
“Welcome the Holy Lord out of seclusion！” Shi Kun and Cheng Yuetong and others also quickly repeated, with respectful expressions.
It seemed that seeing Yang Kai appear was equivalent to seeing hope, making the haze on their faces disappear completely.
Even the Holy Land disciples nearby all gathered around and looked at Yang Kai like they were looking at a savior.
Yang Kai furrowed his brows and raised his hand, saying, “Don’t be in a hurry to address me like that. I’ve heard the general situation from Elder Yu Ying and An Ling’er. Is there anything here that I can help with？ If there is, feel free to tell me. If I can do it, I will try my best to handle it for you.”
Xu Hui’s expression froze for a moment, and he immediately understood Yang Kai’s meaning. He no longer made him feel disgusted and said reserved ly “Dare not. The matters here are all small matters, such as soothing the emotions of the disciples and treating the injured. There is no need for you to get involved.”
As he spoke, his gaze turned on Yang Kai’s hand. After a long while, he couldn’t help but reveal a hint of disappointment.
“Are you looking for this？” Yang Kai flipped his palm and took out the Saint Lord Spirit Ring.
Everyone’s expressions shook, and their eyes burned stared at the simple and unadorned ring. Xu Hui nodded continuously looking energetic and excited, and said, “Little brother, you really brought out the Saint Lord Spirit Ring!”
Yang Kai nodded slightly. In front of everyone, he put on the ring and said leisurely, “When I came out, I originally wanted to hand this ring over to you, but… now there is a little accident. Before I reach the Saint Realm, this ring will be temporarily kept by me. It will naturally be returned to you at that time.”
Yang Kai estimated that when he reached the Saint Realm, he would be able to dissolve the connection between this ring and himself and eliminate his Divine Soul Brand from the ring.
“It doesn’t matter. This Spirit Ring originally belongs to you. You can wear it for as long as you want.” Xu Hui’s face lit up with a smile. The other elders and protectors also nodded continuously and expressed their positions one after another.
“However… with the Saint Lord Spirit Ring, things will be much easier.” Xu Hui seemed to have let out a sigh of relief. “Little brother, I really need to ask you to do me a few favors.”
“The Great Elder just say it directly.” Yang Kai nodded seriously.
“There are many casualties among the disciples. Now the pills and medicinal materials for healing are not enough. Please come with me to the treasury and take some things out from there.”
“You lead the way.”
Xu Hui quickly responded, told the other protector elders, and then led Yang Kai to walk in one direction.
After they left, the crowd protector elders showed expressions of extreme shock.
“He really came out of the Saint Tomb. It’s been nine months. How did he do it？” Shi Kun kept shaking his head and couldn’t figure it out no matter what.
“This has already broken the record recorded in the historical books, right？ I remember that the Saint Lord who spent the most time only used two months.”
“It took so long to pass the test. Is this Saint Lord not very good? Have we overestimated him?”
“What does it matter? The most important thing now is that the Saint Lord Spirit Ring has been brought out. In this way, the formations and barriers of the Nine Peaks can be reopened, and the invasion of those people can also be stopped.”
The crowd chattered away. Only Yu Ying’s beautiful eyes shone with extremely complex emotions.
She still couldn’t figure out how Yang Kai had managed to deceive her perception and appear beside her quietly just now. Even with the help of the Nine Heavens Divine Skill, if one’s own spiritual sense power was not enough, it couldn’t be done.
Was she underestimating him or overestimating him？
“Yu Ying, what’s wrong with you？” Cheng Yuetong saw that she was a bit absent-minded and quickly leaned over to ask.
“It’s nothing. I just feel that this future Holy Lord is very different from others.”
“How is he different？” Cheng Yuetong immediately became interested.
“It’s hard to say.” Yu Ying slowly shook her head. Suddenly, she shouted whined at the side: “What are you all looking at at?” Don’t you need to do anything?”
Only then did the disciples gathered here wake up like a dream and quickly scattered like birds and beasts to continue their busy work.
However, the news that the new Holy Lord had left seclusion and successfully passed the test of the Holy Mausoleum still spread like wildfire. All the Holy Land disciples who learned of this news were all excited and felt that the Holy Land had hope.
In front of the underground warehouse, Yang Kai and Xu Hui stopped here.
In the spiritual sense induction, the whole warehouse was made of unknown materials. Even Yang Kai’s powerful spiritual sense couldn’t penetrate it at all, and he couldn’t spy on the situation inside at all. Moreover looking at the texture of the materials around the warehouse, it was also extremely hard and as solid as a rock.
On the way here, Xu Hui also briefly explained the situation to Yang Kai.
The excess materials collected by the Jiutian Holy Land are generally sent to this storage room for preservation. Over the years, the materials in the storage room have become innumerable.
Since the fall of the old Holy Lord, the storage room has not been opened.
In the past two years, the remaining materials in the Holy Land have been running out. After this disaster, they are completely exhausted. Many injured disciples don’t have any healing pills to take, let alone the pills for cultivation.
So the top priority now is to quickly open the storage room and take out the materials from it.
And the only key to open the storage room is the Holy Lord’s Spiritual Ring that Yang Kai brought out.
Following Xu Hui’s instructions, Yang Kai poured True Yuan into the Holy Lord’s Spiritual Ring and imprinted the ring on his finger into a groove in the center of the gate of the storage room.
The brilliant light circulated, and the impregnable gate slowly opened.
A huge underground warehouse suddenly appeared in front of Yang Kai’s eyes. There were all kinds of materials placed in this warehouse, herbs for alchemy, strange stones and materials for weapon refining, and also the pills and secret treasures that had already been refined, countless.
Yang Kai was dazzled and his expression changed in horror.
After all, this is the storage and foundation of a large force, and the strength is beyond Yang Kai’s imagination.
“Little brother, take a look for yourself. If there’s anything you need, feel free to take it. I’ll go call some disciples over to help transport the supplies！” Xu Hui informed Yang Kai and then left again.
Yang Kai was suddenly delighted and lingered here.
The supplies here encompassed countless types. At least they could meet the needs of thousands or even tens of thousands of people. No wonder the three nearby forces would risk attacking the Nine Heavens Holy Land. Not to mention that the Nine Peaks were an excellent place for cultivation, just the supplies here were enough to make people envious.
The world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit. This is an eternal truth.
Yang Kai didn’t hold back at all and frantically collected those materials for alchemy into the Black Book space for future needs.
His alchemy skills still needed to be improved. Although he could currently refine Saint-level low-grade pills, he wasn’t proficient enough. Only when he could refine Saint-level middle-grade pills could he go to the Endless Snow Mountain to find the Coffin Slave and enter the Little Mysterious Realm to lift the shackles of the Ancient Demon Clan.
Compared with the Nine Heavens Holy Land, Yang Kai valued the strength of Li Rong and Han Fei more.
Also, partly because of the Ancient Demon Clan, Yang Kai didn’t want to have too much to do with the Nine Heavens Holy Land.
Humans and demons are irreconcilable. If he became the Saint Lord and the leader of the Ancient Demon Clan at that time, there might be some conflict between these two forces. Yang Kai would be caught in the middle and couldn’t do anything right.
After a bout of busyness, he swept up a large amount of medicinal materials. Even the materials for refining the Saint Dan that Li Rong had instructed him to refine, he managed to find one of them here.
At this point, all the materials required for that Saint Dan had been fully prepared！
Yang Kai was in a great mood and felt that this trip was not in vain. He also collected some crystals for cultivation before stopping.
Xu Hui was busy inside and out. He used a Qiankun bag to hold the supplies and continuously handed them to the disciples waiting outside, asking them to deliver them to the alchemists in the Holy Land.
It was not until half a day later that it gradually subsided.
“Little brother, don’t you need to look for something？” Xu Hui saw that Yang Kai had nothing in his hands and didn’t even have a Qiankun bag on him, so he couldn’t help but have some misunderstandings.
But he also keenly perceived that there were a lot fewer things in the storehouse, especially the materials for alchemy, and suddenly felt puzzled.
“No need.” Yang Kai slowly shook his head.
“Then let’s go out. If you want, you can come here at any time.” Xu Hui smiled and didn’t say anything more.
After leaving the warehouse, Xu Hui said again: “I still need to ask little brother to make another trip with me to activate the formations and barriers of the nine peaks.”
Yang Kai nodded, indicating for him to lead the way ahead.
The barriers and formations of the nine peaks were profound and mysterious. They were set up and perfected by the successive Holy Lords of the Holy Land over countless years. They could withstand the bombardment of Saint Realm powerhouses and would not be damaged in a short period of time.
Although each Holy Lord is a top powerhouse at the Third-Order Saint Realm, the Holy Lord also has to go out sometimes. When he leaves the Holy Land, with this barrier and formation to protect it, the Holy Land will be a little safer.
Yang Kai is not proficient in barriers and formations and has almost never dabbled in them. However, taking advantage of the efforts of his predecessors, he doesn’t need to spend much effort. He just needs to hold the Holy Lord’s Spiritual Ring and, following Xu Hui’s guidance, open some key points.
Shuttling between the nine peaks, stopping and going, Yang Kai’s True Yuan consumption is huge. It is not until half a day later that he successfully opens the barrier and formation of the nine peaks.
The flow of spiritual energy between heaven and earth has obviously become much faster and richer. An energy film that cannot be seen with the naked eye covers the entire Nine Heavens Holy Land, shrouding it under its protection.
Xu Hui is completely shocked！
He knows very well how much True Yuan and energy are needed to open the formation. Even the previous old Holy Lord could not reopen it within half a day.
That’s a great formation that covers the entire Holy Land!
But Yang Kai did it. After opening the formation, his face doesn’t change color and his heart doesn’t beat fast, as if nothing happened.
Xu Hui simply can’t guess how much True Yuan is hidden in his body. He is shocked and regards him as a celestial being.
His attitude becomes even more respectful.
He knew that although his current cultivation level was higher than Yang Kai’s, given time, this young man would surely grow to a height that he could hardly reach. By that time, the entire Holy Land would have to rely on him.
