MARTIAL PEAK 4730

Fan Liangpeng thought that after he finished speaking, the child would definitely bow his head in gratitude and beg him to accept him into the Heavenly Martial Building, but unexpectedly, the ten year old child waved his hand and said, “I know, someone told me this before.”

Fan Liangpeng’s heart skipped a beat. Someone said that? Who said that?

The child called Chai Shan said, “Old man, let me ask you, who is the strongest in your Heavenly Martial Building?”

'Old… Old Man!' Fan Liangpeng’s eyes twitched as he thought to himself, 'I’m a Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator after all, so it’s fine if you don’t call me Senior, but you actually call me Old Man?' A child’s words carry no harm, so he didn’t bother arguing with him and just smiled, “The strongest is naturally my Heavenly Martial Building's Building Master!”

“What grade?”

“Sixth Order!” Fan Liangpeng declared proudly.

“How many Sixth Order masters are there in your family? How many Fifth Order masters are there?”

“Uh, if it’s a Sixth Order, there’s only one, the Building Master. As for a Fifth Order, there should be six or seven people.”

“Tch!” Chai Shan curled his lips, “One Sixth Order, six or seven Fifth Order, your Heavenly Martial Building is really weak.”

'Little brat, how dare you speak so arrogantly!' Fan Liangpeng almost couldn’t help cursing. Heavenly Martial Building was a second class force that dominated the entire Heavenly Martial Territory, and the Great Domain was named after their Sect. Among all the second class forces in the 3000 Worlds, which of the nearby Great Domain forces didn’t give Heavenly Martial Building some face?

But now, a ten-year-old child had mercilessly called them weak?

For a moment, Fan Liangpeng felt somewhat embarrassed.

Just as he was about to argue with him, Chai Shan couldn’t be bothered to argue with him any further and jumped down from his chair, his hands on his waist as he stared at him, “Old man, you should go back. I’m a man who wants to join High Heaven Palace, I’m not interested in the Heavenly Martial Building.”

Turning to his parents, he said, “Father, Mother, don’t bring a random person home from now on, it’s a waste of time. I’m going to play!”

Saying so, he turned around and skipped out the door.

The child’s mother shouted from behind, “Run slower, don’t fall.”

“Got it!” Chai Shan’s voice rang out from afar.

Fan Liangpeng sat in his chair, stunned for a moment. He was a dignified Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator, but in the mouth of a child, he had become a random person?

The child’s father looked at him with a silly smile, “Old Sir, Chai Shan doesn’t seem too willing, you see…”

Fan Liangpeng came back to his senses and coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment, “Your son wants to join High Heaven Palace and has high aspirations. It seems he has no fate with my Heavenly Martial Building. En, since he has no fate with us, this old master won’t disturb you any further.”

After exiting the small village, Fan Liangpeng looked back and saw Chai Shan and a group of children playing around, carefree. He couldn’t help feeling a little regretful. Had the times changed, or was the situation in the Star Boundary different?

Inside High Heaven Palace’s main hall, Yang Kai sat down and listened to Hua Qing Si report the changes in the Star Boundary over the years.

When Yang Kai heard that many forces had taken in disciples from the Star Boundary and placed them in High Heaven Palace, he couldn’t help laughing, “It’s a pity they thought of this.”

Hua Qing Si said, “There’s nothing we can do about it. In the Star Boundary, other than the various Cave Heaven Paradise that have their own Training Hall, only the Great Evolution family has one. The other forces don’t have their own Training Hall, so after accepting disciples, they have no place to settle down and can only choose to send them to some place to stay. Regarding this, my High Heaven Palace and the other Star Boundary’s native forces have also opened their doors and didn’t make things difficult for them. The cultivators who were sent here are all treated equally.”

Yang Kai nodded, “They’re all cultivators from the Star Boundary, so it’s only natural.”

Hua Qing Si sighed, “Actually, there are quite a few disciples with outstanding aptitudes. It must be said that the disciples chosen by those forces are all extremely sharp.”

Yang Kai smiled and said, “Is Chief Manager feeling sorry for the loss of talent?”

“A little,” Hua Qing Si nodded.

“There’s no need for that,” Yang Kai waved his hand, “With the Star Boundary World Tree feedback, the number of talents here will only increase. If all of them are taken into High Heaven Palace, High Heaven Palace won’t be able to support them, instead it will only incur the envy of others. Right now, this is the best case scenario. The great forces of the 3000 Worlds are accepting disciples in the Star Boundary, but they have no choice but to send them to the various great forces of the Star Boundary. This is equivalent to them spending resources to help my Star Boundary cultivate talents.”

Hua Qing Si’s eyes lit up when she heard this, “Sect Master is truly wise.”

Yang Kai smiled and said, “These disciples all come from the Star Boundary, their homeland is here, so no matter how high their cultivation is in the future, they will always remember the Star Boundary.”

“Indeed!” Hua Qing Si nodded.

Yang Kai, on the other hand, looked at Hua Qing Si with some regret, “Did the Chief Manager finally reach the Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage?”

On this trip back, Yang Kai discovered that Hua Qing Si was already an Open Heaven Stage master, a Fifth Order!

Hua Qing Si ran her fingers through her hair and smiled, “With such aptitude, being able to reach the Fifth Order is already enough for me.”

“Have you tried the Dao Divine Water?” Yang Kai asked.

Hua Qing Si said, “There’s no need to try, it’s not like we’re lacking in resource. We’ve found some Dao Divine Water in the new Great Domain over the past few years, so it’s quite a lot. However, I know that even if we use the Dao Divine Water to strengthen my Dao Seal, i'm still far from breaking through to the Sixth ORder. Forcefully doing so will be extremely risky.”

Yang Kai nodded slightly, “Since there’s a risk, it’s better to play it safe.”

“I think so too, and the starting point of a Fifth Order is not bad. In the future, there will be a chance to break through to the Seventh Order,” Hua Qing Si smiled.

“Second Manager told me that you found something special in the new Great Domain?” Yang Kai asked.

Hua Qing Si said, “I was just about to tell Sect Master about this…”

Speaking up to this point, Yang Kai suddenly raised his hand and looked over, only to see a dozen or so people approaching from the outside. These people all had extraordinary auras and profound foundations, all of them High Rank Open Heaven.

Yang Kai and Hua Qing Si stood up to greet them.

Of the dozen or so people, Yang Kai had met most of them, but only a few had not met him. One of the enchanting women stared at Yang Kai with great interest.

Yu Changdao was among them and took the initiative to introduce Yang Kai to the few High Rank Open Heaven Stage masters he didn’t know.

As for the others, Yang Kai didn’t pay much attention to them, but the beautiful woman was actually from Yin-Yang Heaven, named Yu Xiangdie.

Yang Kai bowed, “Greetings, Martial Aunt Yu!”

Yu Xiangdie smiled sweetly, “I’ve long wanted to meet you, but unfortunately you’ve never been here. Seeing you today, your temperament is truly extraordinary.”

Yang Kai said in a reserved manner, “Martial Aunt is too kind.” Pausing for a moment, he asked, “Where is Elder Xu?”

The matters of the Star Boundary should have been handled by Xu Linggong, but this time he was nowhere to be seen. Instead, this Yu Xiangdie had been replaced, causing Yang Kai to feel somewhat puzzled.

Yu Xiangdie smiled and said, “Senior Brother Xu has another mission and has long since left the Star Boundary.”

Yang Kai nodded slightly and didn’t ask any more questions, inviting everyone to sit down. Hua Qing Si ordered someone to serve some fragrant tea and stood respectfully to the side.

These dozen or so Open Heaven Stage masters suddenly came together, including Yu Changdao, who was High Heaven Palace’s Supreme Guest Elder, as well as the Yin-Yang Heaven's Yu Xiangdie who had a close relationship with Yang Kai. Their intentions were obvious.

Obviously, they were here for the Good Fortune Divine Furnace.

After everyone sat down and chatted for a while, Yu Changdao said, “Sect Master, the main reason we came here today is to discuss with Sect Master about the Good Fortune Divine Furnace.”

Yang Kai had already expected this, so he wasn’t surprised. Nodding, he asked, “Are the various Cave Heaven Paradise prepared to agree to my previous request?”

Before Yu Changdao could say anything, another High Rank Open Heaven cultivator said, “Sect Master Yang, the qualifications to enter Small Source Realms are extremely precious, exchanging a month’s worth of time for a qualification to gain experience is simply asking for too much.”

Yang Kai smiled and shook his head, “I don’t think so. I’ve personally experienced the wonders of the Good Fortune Divine Furnace. Although a month may seem short, if you’re well prepared, you’ll be able to obtain a lot of good things. It should be enough to satisfy the needs of the various disciples in the future.”

Another person spoke up, “That may be the case, but when using the Good Fortune Divine Furnace, each of us has to bear a certain amount of risk. The amount of resources consumed by the Good Fortune Divine Furnace is also extremely shocking. We can’t just let Sect Master Yang take all the benefits while we're taking a risk, right?”

Yang Kai smiled at the man and said, “As far as I know, each family has more than one Small Source World, so why would you be reluctant to part with just one spot? The Good Fortune Divine Furnace does consume a lot of resources, but it should be within your tolerance, otherwise, there would be no need for you to have any ideas about the Good Fortune Divine Furnace. In addition, every month, if more than a hundred families take turns, it will take nearly ten years, so it’s not that I don’t want to open it to the various Cave Heaven Paradise for a longer period of time, it’s just that once each family uses it for too long, the others will have to wait for a long time.”

The man shook his head, “This price is too high!”

Yang Kai calmly said, “Since all of you have come here today, I believe you must have come up with a plan, right? Why don’t you just cut to the chase?”

Everyone looked at each other and nodded slightly.

Yu Changdao said, “Sect Master, the result of our discussion is that we will not use Small Source World’s training qualifications and instead use a certain amount of resources to exchange for the right to use the Good Fortune Divine Furnace. Of course, the various families can also make some concessions in terms of resources and will not let High Heaven Palace suffer any losses. What does Sect Master think?”

Although he is a Supreme Guest Elder of High Heaven Palace, since he had come here to represent the Cave Heaven Paradise, he could only negotiate with Yang Kai from the standpoint of Free and Unfettered Paradise.

Yang Kai couldn’t help laughing as he shook his head, “In terms of supplies, my High Heaven Palace doesn’t lack them.”

If they could obtain the right to use the Good Fortune Divine Furnace just by compensating with materials, then there was no need for Troublesome Grandmaster to let Yang Kai deal with this matter. Wouldn’t it be better for him to discuss it himself?

The High Rank Open Heaven who had spoken before frowned and said, “Sect Master Yang, this Good Fortune Divine Furnace is an artifact of the Great Evolution Paradise. If Sect Master Yang is unable to make a decision, shouldn’t we go to the Great Evolution Pradise to discuss this matter with Troublesome Grandmaster?”

Yang Kai turned to look at him and said, “Regarding the Good Fortune Divine Furnace, I have full authority to make the decision. Since Troublesome Grandmaster has entrusted this matter to me, I will not disappoint him.”

Rising to his feet, he said, “It seems everyone hasn’t reached a consensus yet. It doesn’t matter, after everyone has reached a consensus, it won’t be too late to discuss it with me. However, next time, don’t say anything about exchanging resources for the right to use the Good Fortune Divine Furnace unless it’s a Yin-Yang Attribute of the Sixth Grade and above!”
