Yang Kai had achieved a comprehensive understanding of the Nine Heavens Divine Skills back in the Holy Tomb, all he lacked now was real experience using them.ย Kuang Shi, a master with strength equal to a Third Order Transcendent, was just right for him to practice on. Yang Kai couldnโt have asked for more.
During the battle, Yang Kai continuously displayed the various Nine Heavens Divine Skills, becoming more skillful with them each time he did.
The Monster Race masters sitting up in the ancient tree also soon noticed that something wasnโt right. Kuang Shi wasnโt this human boyโs opponent at all, yet the fight was still continuing, obviously this human boy wasnโt taking this seriously!
โBig Sister Cai Die, this human is really interesting!ย How can he have so many different ways of fighting?โ The cat eared young girl asked, her eyes shining brilliantly as if she had just witness a brand new world.
Cai Die gently nodded and patiently explained, โThe Human Race doesnโt have a beast core or naturally strong physique like our Monster Race, but instead, by molding the True Qi in their bodies in special ways, they can display techniques called Martial Skills.ย Many Human Race martial skills are actually imitations of our Monster Raceโs innate abilities. If you fight against human cultivators in the future, be sure not to judge them solely based on their appearance and physical strength. If you underestimate them, youโll be the one to suffer a loss.โ
โGood, Iโll remember,โ The cat eared young girl nodded, suddenly excitedly saying, โBig Sister Cai Die, can you catch this human so I can play with him?ย He can use so many different tricks, Iโm sure itโll be lots of fun to play with!โ
Cai Die was stunned by this innocent request, soon rubbing her forehead with a forced smile on her face, โIโm afraid I canโt do that.โ
โWhy?โ
โBecauseโฆโ Cai Die stops her words there and turned her eyes towards the top of Thunder Tree Palace, seemingly receiving some kind of instructions, and nodding firmly, โUnderstood!โ
Saying so, she calmly turned her eyes to the battle down below and shouted, โEnough!โ
Hearing this order, Kuang Shi immediately retreated from Yang Kai and directed a somewhat awkward look towards him, shaking his head wryly after a moment, โYou brat, youโre quite fierce, fortunately I didnโt rashly attack you a few days ago when we first met, or Iโm afraid I would have embarrassed myself!โ
โBrother Kuang is too polite; your strength is by no means bad!โ Yang Kai laughed back freely.
โOf couโฆโ Kuang Shi suddenly became proud, but upon noticing Cai Dieโs cold eyes staring at him, he quickly swallowed back his words, turned around, and dashed into the jungle, his voice calling out from afar a moment later, โIโm off to patrol the area. Recently, the jungle hasnโt been peaceful!โ
After he left, Yang Kai turned his attention to Cai Die and smiled lightly, โHave I passed your test?โ
โHmph, you think youโre so smart!โ Cai Die grumbled under her breath, a clear look of disgust showing on her face, coldly shouting in the next moment, โCome with me, Great Senior wants to see you!โ
Saying so, the wings behind the back flapped and she soared up into the canopy.
Yang Kai nodded and quickly followed after her as the Monster Race masters resting on the branches stood by and watched, many of them wearing unsatisfied expressions on their faces, as if the battle just now hadnโt been exciting enough for them.
The cat eared young girl simply pursed her lips as she stared at Yang Kaiโs disappearing back reluctantly.
Flying higher and higher, Yang Kai realized just how enormous this ancient tree really was.ย Passing through the various wide and dense branches, as he followed after Cai Die, Yang Kai saw a number of Monster Race masters playing around as well as a large number of tree houses built right into the ancient treeโs trunk.
The entire ancient tree was like a giant family home with traces of Monster Beast activity everywhere one looked.
Seeing this, Yang Kai inexplicably felt a unique sense of cohesion and unity!
There was an incalculable number of Monster Beasts living throughout Tong Xuan Realm, but the number of Monster Race masters that had managed to assume human form was quite limited.ย As such, the Monster Race was far more united than the Human or Demon Race. The ones beneath each Monster Race Great Senior were closer to brothers and sisters than subordinates.
When Kuang Shi was being stared down by Cai Die, although he appeared quite scared, he didnโt once display a formal attitude.ย Amongst the Monster Race, everything that did not relate to survival and power, was apparently superfluous.
The human form Monster Race masters were few in number in the first place, and most of them chose to remain in their original forms; as a result, since entering the Beast Sea Jungle, Yang Kai had only seen ten or so such human form masters.
However, each of them was a true powerhouse.
The higher he flew, the denser the World Aura became, and Yang Kai was also keenly aware that the trunk of the ancient tree contained Thunder Attribute energy.
Probably because this ancient tree had bathed in Heavenly Thunder for over ten thousand years, it had taken on a powerful Thunder Attribute aura.
After a long upward flight, Yang Kai and Cai Die passed into a layer of clouds and became surrounded by a soft white mist that was almost like wisps of cotton one could grasp with their fingers.ย It was a rare and beautiful sight to behold. Amongst these white clouds stood a charming wooden house built right into the trunk of the ancient tree.
A powerful dragonโs breath pulsed from this wooden house, immediately drawing Yang Kaiโs attention.
Feeling this powerful aura, Yang Kai secretly gulped.
โGo in, Great Senior is waiting for you inside!โย Cai Die stopped in front of the wooden house and motioned Yang Kai inside.
โMany thanks!โย Yang Kai nodded to her lightly before calmly stepping forward.
The first thing Yang Kai saw upon entering the wooden house was a middle-aged man sitting at a table quietly.ย This middle-aged man was quite handsome and wore a plain robes, appearing harmless to humans and animals. The only distinguishing feature he had were two horns only about as long as oneโs finger sticking out from either side of his head.
The two horns were dyed a mix of red and blue and seemed to contain rich Fire Attribute and Thunder Attribute energy, flashing a dull light from time to time.
This was a true Peak Eighth-Order Monster Beast, the Monster Raceโs Scarlet Flame Thunder Dragon Great Senior!
Yang Kai couldnโt help admiring this man silently.
The Great Senior slowly opened his eyes and stared at Yang Kai faintly, not showing the slightest aggression or probing intent, but under this gaze, Yang Kai felt somewhat uncomfortable, as if the man in front of him could see through all of his secrets.
Yang Kai quickly composed himself, sealed off his Knowledge Sea, and restrained his aura.
The Great Senior smiled lightly, his expression both handsome and imposing as he calmly asked, โAre you the successor of that guy?โ
โEn,โ Yang Kai nodded, knowing the โguyโ this Great Senior referred to was the old Holy Master of Nine Heavens Holy Land.
โYour cultivation isnโt as high as his, but your aptitude is good.โ
โGreat Senior is too polite!โ
โSo, why have you come here?โย The Great Senior continued, โThe Beast Sea Jungle generally does not allow human cultivators to enter, those who do soon become food for my clansmen.ย Seeing as you are that guyโs successor, I gave him some face and didnโt let them immediately attack you, but if you dare displease me, I promise you your end will be very miserable.ย I had some friendship with that guy, but that doesnโt mean I have any friendship with his Sect, soโฆ youโd best think carefully before you answer my question.โ
Although his tone was light, Yang Kai could still tell there was a hint of annoyance in his voice.ย Perhaps this Great Senior felt Yang Kai was too young or too weak to be worthy enough to see and speak with him.
Yang Kai however just laughed fearlessly before pulling out the two Universe Bags he had brought with him, placing them on the table as he said, โI heard the old Holy Master and Great Senior were on good terms, as his successor, naturally I must visit Great Senior to pay my respects.ย After all, I may have business dealings with you in the future.โ
The Monster Race Great Senior chuckled and didnโt even glance at the two Universe Bags, dismissively saying, โI was on good terms with that guy because I respected his strength.ย What do you have that can earn my respect? Perhaps youโll have such qualifications a hundred years from now, but the current youโฆ is insufficient.โ
Yang Kai frowned slightly, โA hundred years?ย It wonโt be that long, in at most twenty or thirty yearsโฆ Iโll have such qualifications.โ
The Monster Race Great Senior gently sneered and shook his head, โYouโre certainly crazy enoughโฆ Since thatโs the case, come here twenty or thirty years from now, that is, if you can live that long!โ
His not so subtle meaning that Yang Kai appeared like the type to die young.ย This of course made Yang Kai somewhat unhappy.
Knitting his brow further, Yang Kai got to the main point, โGreat Senior, do you have any interest in making a business investment?โ
โAn investment?โ Great Senior squinted at Yang Kai before smiling lightly, โInvest in you?ย Why should I do that? If I canโt see any advantage in that, of course I wonโt.โ
Not waiting for Yang Kai to answer, the Great Senior pointedly asked, โYour days must not be feeling good about now, yes?โ
Yang Kai nodded lightly, curiously asking, โDid Great Senior receive news about the Holy Landโs current state?โ
The Great Senior slowly shook his head though, โI have no interest in inquiring about your side, but that guy, before he died, came here once and predicted this situation.โ
โThe old Holy Master predicted this situation?โ Yang Kai was stunned.
โEn, he knew he wouldnโt live much longer and told me that before he died he should properly handle the woman next to him, but after all, she was a companion he had spent his entire life together with so he couldnโt bring himself to discard her so even though he knew that after he died she would surely stir up a great stormโฆ If my guess is right, you should currently be besieged by many people right now, yes?โ
Yang Kai nodded solemnly, โSince Great Senior knows that much, you must also know the purpose of my trip.โ
The Great Senior snickered as he slowly sat up in his chair, โI indeed know why youโve come, but unfortunately for you, I refuse to lend you any help, no matter how many supplies you bring me.ย Why do you think the Monster Race has endured so long? Itโs not because of the few masters we possess, but because we donโt intervene in outsiderโs affairs. Once I leave the Beast Sea Jungle and enter your Human Territory, I can no longer control the situation.ย Donโt you humans have a saying, sticking oneโs neck out makes it easier to chop off? Putting my entire clan in grave danger for some meager benefits, do you think I, a Monster Race Great Senior, would do something so short sighted?โ
As he spoke, his eyes flashed a sharp light.
Yang Kai wore a forced smile as he replied, โSince Great Senior knows all this, I wonโt speak any more nonsense.ย In truth, even if you donโt help me, the Holy Landโs people wonโt be in any danger, moreover, we have we decided to temporarily abandon the Holy Landโs territory and wait for a day when weโve accumulated enough strength to stage a comeback.ย However, during that time, Iโd prefer the resources located within our nine spirit peaks not fall into the hands of those invaders; on the other hand, since Great Senior had some friendship with the old Holy Master, I thought it would be alright to let you take care of it for a while.ย It would also be an opportunity for you to improve your clanโs strength.โ
Hearing these words, the Monster Race Great Senior frowned as he directed a cold stare towards Yang Kai, as if trying to see through his real thoughts at this moment.
After hesitating for a moment, the Great Senior said, โThat Spirit Array of yours is very powerful and the World Energy aura is truly quite rich.ย If my clansmen were allowed to cultivate there, their strength would definitely improve rapidly, but that alone is not enough to make us leave the Beast Sea Jungle.โ
โThen what if I leave you all the Holy Landโs Alchemist to help you refine pills as well?โย Yang Kai suddenly suggested, โAs far as I know, there is no one among the Monster Race who is proficient in Alchemy.ย On top of that, I can let the Holy Landโs Artifact Refiners stay behind as well. Before we come back, they can refine a large number of pills and artifacts for you.ย Of course, youโll have to provide the materials, but I donโt think that should be too difficult for you.โ
