Every Holy Master candidate who entered the Holy Tomb had to pass this test. This was well documented in Nine Heavens Holy Landβs historical records.
Xu Hui and the other Elders naturally knew that this process would take some time.
The fastest time a candidate had cleared the Holy Tombβs test was fifteen days, while the slowest one took two months.
However, it had now been four months since Yang Kai entered the Holy Tomb and there was no sign of him, this led Xu Hui and the others to believe Yang Kai was already dead.
The various Protectors and Elders all sighed heavily as they departed one by one; they all held important positions and had many things to deal with, how could they continue to wait here in vain?
Even Xu Hui, who had initiated this matter, left after four months.
Only An Lingβer remained outside the Holy Tomb.
Three days after Yang Kai entered the Holy Tomb, An Lingβer learned of this incident, but even though she immediately rushed over and openly complained to Xu Hui and the other elders, there was nothing that could be done.
These past four months she had been waiting here, but no matter how eager she was, Yang Kai never appeared.
On a certain day, two beautiful women, Yu Ying and Cheng Yue Tong, came together and saw An Lingβer still standing outside Holy Tomb, causing the two of them to sigh.
βThis little girl, sheβs still waiting here,β Yu Ying said faintly.
βWe were too anxious, not only have we ruined our Holy Landβs one hope, we also destroyed a bright young manβs future,β Cheng Yue Tongβs pretty face also flashed a trace of embarrassment and remorse.
βWhat use is saying this now?Β When Great Elder made this proposal, we didnβt raise any objections, all of us carry some responsibility,β Yu Ying slowly shook her head.Β βFortunately, the one this little girl sent to deliver a message to Soaring Heaven Sect was intercepted by Great Elder, otherwise, if Soaring Heaven Sect were to learn about this, they would certainly not let our Holy Land off.β
βEn, such an outstanding young talent, no matter which Sect he belonged to, would be vigorously cultivated,β Cheng Yue Tong said with a hint of anxiety.
Right now, Nine Heavens Holy Land was now suffering from many external troubles, if they suddenly made enemies of Soaring Heaven Sect as well, it was likely they would need to immediately activate the Nine Peaks Array and isolate themselves from the outside world.Β If that were to happen, even if they raised a new generation of Saintesses, they would not be able to leave to seek out a new Holy Master.
βIn the end, did we think too highly of him, or did he just happen to have bad luck?βΒ Yu Ying sighed, βEach of the past Holy Master candidates received some advice and guidance from the previous Holy Master before entering the Holy Tomb, but this time he had to dive in completely unprepared, it must have been too difficult for himβ¦β
βLetβs go take a look,β Cheng Yue Tong said, stepping forward.
A moment later, the two of them arrived in front of the Holy Tomb.Β An Lingβer, who heard movement behind her, turned her head and saw them arrive, nodding her head slightly to greet them before turning around again.
In the past, An Lingβer and these two female Elders were quite close, but the relationship between them had now grown a bit cold, obviously as a result of them forcing Yang Kai to enter the Holy Tomb.
Exchanging a somewhat depressed glance with one another, Yu Ying and Cheng Yue Tong didnβt know how to comfort this young girl and instead stood there staring at the entrance to the Holy Tomb awkwardly.
After a long silence, Yu Ying finally spoke up, βLingβer, donβt wait any longer, itβs unlikely heβll be able to come out.β
An Lingβer just shook her head in response.
βListen to us, go back and rest, youβve been waiting here for four months already,β Cheng Yue Tong also advised.
βHe will come out,β An Lingβer said solemnly in a firm tone.
Yu Ying and Cheng Yue Tong were stunned for a moment before the two of them wore forced smiles and asked, βHow do you know that?Β No Holy Master has ever taken so long to return from the Holy Tomb.β
An Lingβer just confidently said, βJust because others couldnβt, doesnβt mean he canβt.Β None of you have witnessed his skill, so itβs only natural for you to think that way, but I know he will come out.β
The two beautiful women narrowed their eyes and tentatively asked, βWhat kind of skill does he possess to makes you evaluate him so highly?β
Although Yang Kaiβs aptitude was obviously uncommon and his strength wasnβt bad, the two middle-aged beauties had never actually seen him take action so naturally they didnβt know his true depths.Β An Lingβer on the other hand was different, the time she spent with Yang Kai was not short, so she was obviously clearer on his details.
Yu Ying and Cheng Yue Tong suddenly became somewhat curious and wanted to find out more from An Lingβer.
βI canβt explain it too well, but he can always manage to pull off miracles one after another. Surprising those around him to no end. On top of that, he saidβ¦ even if it doesnβt enter my Holy Land, he will reach the same height as the old Holy Master within thirty years!β
βThe same height?βΒ Yu Ying and Cheng Yue Tong both wore stunned expressions, βThe peak Third Order Saint Realm?β
An Lingβer nodded sincerely.
Yu Ying smiled wryly, βHe is now a Second Order Transcendent, wanting to become a Third Order Saint within thirty yearsβ¦ Iβm afraid thatβs impossible.β
βEn, there arenβt many Third Order Saints in the entire world,β Cheng Yue Tong also smiled, the two women apparently thinking that Yang Kai was just shamelessly boasting.
Both of them were well aware of how difficult it was to improve oneβs strength after reaching the Transcendent Realm.Β Their aptitudes were considered excellent, or else it would be impossible for them to have reached the Saint Realm, but even they had trouble progressing now.
Even if Yang Kaiβs aptitude exceeded their own; impossible things were still impossible.
In this world, which Third Order Saint was not at least a hundred years old?Β Even if they looked young, each one of them had experienced the long passage of time and only through constant accumulation had they reached their current height.
Yang Kai seemed to only be in his twenties, saying he could reach such a level within thirty years, wasnβt that like saying he could stand at the top of this world at only fifty years old?
Reaching the Saint Realm before one turned one hundred was extremely rare, a fifty year old Third Order Saint was simply impossible!
[Youthful ignorance!]Β Both Yu Ying and Cheng Yue Tong pursed their lips, thinking Yang Kai was just a boy who didnβt understand the immensity of Heaven and Earth.
βWhy are you smiling like that?β An Lingβer turned and stared at them angrily, βSince he dared to say that, he can certainly achieve it.Β Just you wait, within thirty years he will definitely become a Third Order Saint.β
βHe needs to come out from inside the Holy Tomb first,β Yu Ying frowned slightly, turning a worried look towards An Lingβer, hesitating for a moment before asking, βLingβer, do you like him that much?Β Otherwise, how could you speak like that about him?β
An Lingβerβs face immediately went bright red as she hung her head in embarrassment.
βI donβt hate himβ¦β After a moment of silence, An Lingβer whispered softly, βBut more than that, I feel guilty towards him.Β I was the one who involved him in all of this, if I hadnβt taught him the Nine Heavens Divine Skills, he wouldnβt have encountered so much misfortune and he wouldnβt have been forced into the Holy Tomb by all of you.Β He should have had a better futureβ¦β
βThat was our decision, it has nothing to do with you,β Yu Ying sighed, assuming full responsibility here.
βElders, can I ask something of you?βΒ An Lingβer suddenly raised her head and spoke with a deep seriousness.
βSpeak,β Yu Ying and Cheng Yue Tong nodded lightly.
βIfβ¦ if he can return from the Holy Tomb, can you let him leave?Β He truly doesnβt want to remain here,β An Lingβer smiled bitterly, βPerhaps for others, becoming Holy Master of the Holy Land is a dream come true, but for him, it is nothing but a shackle.Β Forcing him to stay here does not have any advantage to him, do you really want to obtain a Holy Master who so wholeheartedly rejects the Holy Land?β
Yu Ying and Cheng Yue Tongβs brows furrowed, exchanging awkward glances with one another, unable to simply agree to this request, causing them to feel somewhat embarrassed.
An Lingβer continued, βDonβt both of you think he wonβt ever come out?Β That since he died he wonβt reveal any of the Holy Landβs secrets? Since thatβs the case, what difference is that with complying with this?β
βThisβ¦ this has to be discussed with Great Elder,β Yu Ying smiled reluctantly; βWe canβt take responsibility for such a decision.β
βI can promise you!β A loud voice suddenly came from afar, a streak of light rushing over and the figure of Great Elder Xu Hui appearing in front of Holy Tomb.
βGreat Elder,β Yu Ying and Cheng Yue Tong greeted hastily.
Xu Hui nodded lightly before turning to look at An Lingβer, βYour Highness Saintess, what you just said, I can promise you!β
βReally?β An Lingβer smiled happily.
βEn, Elder Yu and Elder Cheng can testify to it!βΒ Xu Hui said, nodding firmly, βOf course, the premise is that he can come out, and he really does not want to become Holy Master!β
βHe should not be willing.β
βThat may not be the caseβ¦β Xu Hui smiled meaningfully, βPerhaps when he comes out, there will be no need for us to ask and he will take the initiative to inherit the position of Holy Masterβ¦ no Holy Master candidate who has ever successfully left the Holy Tomb has not pledged their life to the Holy Land.β
Yu Ying and Cheng Yue Tong eyes flashed slight as smiles appeared on their faces.
Although none of them knew what mysteries were hidden inside the Holy Tomb, what Great Elder Xu Hui said just now was true.Β Every Holy Master candidate who returned from the Holy Tomb wholeheartedly considered the Holy Land his home and worked tirelessly to support it, even if they had come from a completely different Sect or family.
βDoes Great Elder also think he can return?β An Lingβer focused on this point, her eyes shining brilliantly.
βI hope soβ¦β Xu Hui slowly shook his head, βBut I donβt think thereβs much of a chance.β
βJust wait; heβll definitely give all of you a surprise!βΒ An Lingβer gently clenched her fist.
The three Elders all looked at her curiously, not knowing why she was so confident that Yang Kai, who had entered the Holy Tomb for more than four months, could return safely.
β¦β¦
Inside the Holy Tomb, Yang Kai let out a low shout and a burst of Spiritual Energy surged up from his Knowledge Sea before slamming into a mass of energy floating in front of him.
Accompanied by the crisp cracking sound, the last of the Nine Heavens Divine Skills energy auras shattered and all of its profound insights flowed back into Yang Kaiβs mind, allowing him to thoroughly comprehend it.
Profound Heavenly Sword, Imprisoning Heaven Chain, Great Heavenly Attraction, Capturing Heaven Net, Heaven Covering Hand, Punishing Heaven Spear, Grand Heavenly Shield, Flickering Heavenly Shadow, Scarlet Heavenly Arrowβ¦
All of the Nine Heavens Divine Skills flashed across Yang Kaiβs mind, now seemingly incomparably familiar.Β These nine Divine Skills were astounding, far superior to any Martial Skill or Soul Skill Yang Kai had previously encountered.
After such a long period immersed in their study, Yang Kai had mastered the Nine Heavens Divine Skills.
Also, with the World Energy aura in this place being extremely rich, by practicing here for several months, Yang Kai had not just become proficient in the Nine Heavens Divine Skills, but he had also made great progress in his cultivation.
