Although the Great General had taken human form, his aura had not changed, so Yang Kai recognized him at a glance.
Great General looked behind him and asked curiously, “Where are Old Fang and Die You?”
Yang Kai smiled, “They entered the Great Moon Province a long time ago and are now cultivating there.”
Great General heard this and was slightly disappointed. To him, there weren’t many people he knew. Yang Kai was one of them, Fang Biqi, Die You, and Asun were the other few friends he had.
“Just now you said Ancestral Land, what is it?” Yang Kai asked. He was looking for an opportunity to figure out where he was, so now that he had encountered the Great General, he naturally wanted to ask.
The Great General blinked his big eyes, “The Ancestral Land… is the Ancestral Land!”
From the looks of it, he wasn’t too sure either, so he didn’t ask any more questions. Looking around, he asked, “This place is dangerous, why are you alone? Where is your mother?”
Great General raised his thumb and grinned, “Mother is at home, my home is not far from here. If she knew you had come, Mother would definitely be very happy. Do you want to come with me?”
Yang Kai nodded, “I was just about to pay a visit.”
“Then let’s go!” As Great General spoke, he nimbly jumped onto Yang Kai’s shoulder and rode on his neck like a horse, his chubby little hand pointing in a certain direction, “Over there!”
Yang Kai couldn’t help rolling his eyes as he couldn’t help thinking back to the time when this little brat had always been on top of his head.
Although so many years had passed since then, the Great General still seemed to have not forgotten about it, now he couldn’t use his hair as a nest and instead rode on his neck.
However, he didn’t chase him down, instead allowing him to grab his hair with both hands and follow his directions.
Xia Linlang followed behind with a strange expression.
After crossing mountains and valleys for more than an hour, they finally saw a Spirit Peak in the distance.
Looking from afar, the Spirit Peak towered into the clouds, reaching a height of tens of thousands of meters. The peak of the mountain was shrouded in mist, making it look like a paradise.
When they arrived at the peak of the mountain, a palace appeared in front of them and a dignified woman was standing in front of it, quietly waiting. It seemed she had detected the auras of the Great General and Yang Kai.
Seeing this woman, Great General jumped down from Yang Kai’s neck and shouted, “Mother, look who’s here!”
Saying so, he rushed towards the woman, but just as he got close, the woman stretched out her hand and twisted his ear, causing him to cry out in pain.
“Didn’t I tell you that the Ancestral Land is dangerous and that you shouldn’t go out?”
The Great General’s face flushed red as he glanced over at Yang Kai from time to time, begging, “Mother, I was wrong. I was just bored and went out for a walk.”
“Do you dare do it again?” The woman twisted his ear.
“I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare!” The Great General nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice.
Only then did the woman let go, “Scram inside. Without my permission, you are not allowed to leave.”
The Great General rubbed his ears and pouted as he walked into the hall. Before he disappeared, he turned around and made a funny face at Yang Kai.
Yang Kai couldn’t help laughing as he stepped forward and bowed, “Yang Kai greets Senior.”
This woman was none other than the Holy Spirit Mie Meng he had rescued from the Restrictions Formation all those years ago. The Mie Meng in human form didn’t have a fierce and terrifying aura, but instead seemed like a mature woman.
Mie Meng looked at Yang Kai with a complicated expression and frowned, “Why did you come to the Ancestral Land?”
Yang Kai explained, “After being chased by a powerful enemy, I couldn’t help but enter a place where countless Divine Abilities were hidden, so I somehow ended up here.”
“It’s been many years since we last met, but you’re already a Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator, and this young lady beside you is also a Seventh Order. To be able to chase you like this, is it an Eighth Order?” Mie Meng raised her brow slightly.
Xia Linlang couldn’t help being shocked. When she saw this woman, although she had some vague guesses in her heart, she wasn’t certain, but now that this woman had directly exposed her cultivation, it was obvious how powerful she was.
This was definitely an adult Holy Spirit!
It was said that in the depths of the Shattered Void, Holy Spirits gathered. Was this true?
“I wonder if Senior has heard of Bright Sun Divine Monarch's name!” Yang Kai said.
Mie Meng frowned, “One of the Shattered Heaven’s three Eighth Order Open Heaven Stage masters seems to be related to the Kun Clan of the Ancestral Land. I’ve heard of it.”
“Kun Clan…” Yang Kai muttered.
“Come in first, you seem to have a lot to ask,” Mie Meng said before turning around and walking into the hall.
Yang Kai thanked her and entered the hall with Xia Linlang.
Although the main hall was large, it was quite deserted. It seemed that besides Mie Meng and her child, there was no one else here. As the host and guest sat down, Yang Kai didn’t expect Mie Meng to pour him a cup of water or anything, much less Mie Meng having such intention.
“If you have any questions, feel free to ask. If i can, I will tell you,” Mie Meng said gently.
“Many thanks, Senior,” Yang Kai cupped his fists, “What this Junior wants to know the most is where this place is. The Great General mentioned Ancestral Land before, so what is it?”
Mie Meng pondered for a moment before asking, “Did you come from Shattered Heaven?”
Yang Kai and Xia Linlang both nodded.
Mie Meng said, “Strictly speaking, this place is still in Shattered Heaven, but it is the deepest part of Shattered Heaven. Outsiders seem to call this place Shattered Ruins!”
Yang Kai and Xia Linlang exchanged a glance.
“You should have passed through the Divine Ability Sea by now, right?” Mie Meng said as she waved her hand, causing the starlight in front of her to flicker and condense into a ball of light. “The periphery of Shattered Ruins is the Divine Ability Sea, where countless Divine Abilities and Secret Arts from ancient times lie dormant. Anyone who enters it will be affected by the power of those Divine Abilities and Secret Arts. Normally speaking, unless one is an Eighth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator, they won’t be able to pass through. Even if one is an Eighth Order, if one’s luck is bad, they may be trapped inside and die.”
Yang Kai nodded slightly, realizing that the place he and Xia Linlang had passed before was called the Divine Ability Sea.
“As for the Ancestral Land…” Mie Meng stretched out her hand again and pointed forward, “The Shattered Ruins mentioned by the Outer World are surrounded by this Divine Ability Sea!”
As she did so, the shape of a large continent appeared in the middle of the glowing sphere. She pointed towards it and said, “We’re in the Ancestral Land.”
“Whose ancestral land is it?” Yang Kai asked.
“The ancestral land of all the Holy Spirits, it is also the origin of the Holy Spirits. All the Holy Spirits in the world were born here,” Mie Meng’s words shocked everyone.
Yang Kai was stunned for a moment before suddenly remembering something, “But how come I heard that the birth of a Holy Spirit is related to the Sun’s Burning Shine and Moon’s Nether Glimmer?”
These two were the Ancestors of the Holy Spirits, and it was precisely because of the convergence of their powers that all kinds of Holy Spirits were born.
Mie Meng smiled and said, “It is indeed related to them. The Sun’s Burning Shine and Moon’s Nether Glimmer were originally born in the Ancestral Land, but they have long since left.”
Yang Kai’s brow wrinkled as thousands of questions filled his heart, but he didn’t know how to ask them. For a time, he sank into contemplation.
Mie Meng said, “You have the Dragon Clan’s bloodline, so you must have noticed something unusual about the Ancestral Land.”
Yang Kai nodded silently. He had felt that cultivating here would be of great help to his bloodline.
“This is the power of the Ancestral Land. No matter what kind of Holy Spirit cultivates here, they can quickly improve their bloodline power. This is also why so many Holy Spirits have gathered in the Ancestral Land, but none of them are willing to leave. Although the Divine Ability Sea is powerful, it’s not difficult for powerful Holy Spirits to leave.”
Bright Sun DIvine Monarch could slaughter his way out of the Divine Ability Sea, so the many Holy Spirits will have no problem doing so.
Yang Kai suddenly understood, “So after Senior broke free, you brought Great General back to the Ancestral Land?”
Mie Meng nodded, “The Ancestral Land is greatly beneficial to his growth, so I naturally have to return here.” Saying so, she turned to Xia Linlang, “However, although the power of the Ancestral Land is greatly beneficial to all the Holy Spirits, it is a slow poison for those who do not possess the Holy Spirit Bloodline. Your companion cannot remain in the Ancestral Land for too long, otherwise the power of the Ancestral Land will erode her Small Universe, and the consequences will be unpredictable.”
Xia Linlang was startled, “But… I don’t feel anything unusual?”
Mie Meng lightly replied, “That’s because it’s only been a short time. By the time you notice anything unusual, it will be too late.”
“What consequences will there be?” Yang Kai asked.
Mie Meng said, “Strictly speaking, the Holy Spirit is also a Monster, but it is a top-level Monster. So if her Small Universe is eroded by the power of the Ancestral Land, she may reveal some of the characteristics of the Holy Spirit, which is Monster Transformation. However, this is not a good thing for her. Without the Holy Spirit’s bloodline, the Monster Transformation’s power will clash with her own.”
Thinking about how she would suddenly grow the teeth and claws of a Monster Beast, Xia Linlang couldn’t help shuddering.
Yang Kai looked at Mie Meng and asked, “Senior, is there a Dragon Clan in the Ancestral Land?”
Mie Meng slowly shook her head, “A long time ago, the Ancestral Land naturally had the Dragon Clan, but at some point, the Dragon Clan left the Ancestral Land, and even most of the Phoenix Clan followed them. Now, the Ancestral Land has no Dragon Clan.”
Hearing this, Yang Kai couldn’t help showing a look of disappointment. He had thought that this place had something to do with the Dragon Clan, but now it seemed that it had something to do with not just the Dragon Clan, but all the Holy Spirits. This was quite different from what he had imagined.
“Did anyone know you were here?” Mie Meng suddenly asked.
Yang Kai shook his head, “Probably not.”
“That’s for the best. In fact, you shouldn’t have come to the Ancestral Land. This place is quite dangerous for you.”
Yang Kai frowned slightly, “Why do you say so?”
Mie Meng shook her head but didn’t explain. Instead, she stood up and said, “I’ll send you out of here. The Divine Ability Sea is dangerous, and with your strength, it’s impossible for you two to break through.”
“Many thanks, Senior!” Yang Kai bowed in gratitude.
Although the environment of the Ancestral Land was beneficial to the cultivation of his bloodline, since Mie Meng had said that this place was dangerous, she must have her reasons. Now that Mie Meng had taken the initiative to send them away, how could he refuse?
He immediately stood up with Xia Linlang and followed Mie Meng out.
