MARTIAL PEAK 4948

Zhong Liang was completely shocked!

Yang Kai’s possession of the World Spring had given him a great surprise, but compared to the existence of the Light of Purification, what was this?

The World Spring was indeed powerful and could allow its user to be unafraid of the corrosion of the Ink Force, so there was no need to worry about being inked by it. However, this only applied to its user, no one else could enjoy the benefits of the World Spring.

However, the purifying light was different. This was a method that could purify the Ink Force and benefit an entire race.

The hundreds of people who had been brought back were living examples.

The Human Race had fought with the Ink Clan for too many years. Although they had sealed the Ink Clan in this Ink Battlefield so that they could not easily invade the 3000 Worlds, there was nothing they could do to the Ink Clan, especially with the erosion of the Ink Force. From ancient times until now, many of the Human Race’s elites had been turned into enemies.

Facing these companions, friends, and even relatives who had once fought side by side, the Human Race could only tearfully kill them.

It wasn’t that they didn’t want to save them, they had also captured Ink Disciple alive and tried to dispel the Ink Force in their bodies, but even a Ninth Order Old Ancestor couldn’t do anything about it.

But today, there was actually someone who could do something that even the Old Ancestors couldn’t. How could Zhong Liang not be shocked? He instantly realized that Yang Kai’s existence was extremely important to the entire Human Race, and this method of purifying and dispersing the Ink Force could definitely change the course of history.

Grabbing Yang Kai’s arm tightly, Zhong Liang said excitedly, “Come, follow me to see the Old Ancestor!”

This matter was too important, so he had to report it to the Old Ancestor in person. Moreover, the Human Race had been trapped in the Ink Battlefield for many years, so this kind of good news was definitely something to be excited about.

“I’ll follow Senior’s arrangements!” Yang Kai nodded. He also wanted to see the Ninth Order Old Ancestor to talk about the Void Corridor.

Zhong Liang grabbed him and hurriedly walked inside. Suddenly remembering something, he turned to Feng Ying and asked, “How many people know that he possesses the World Spring?”

Not many people knew about the method to purify the Light of Purification. Since these people had been rescued, they must have seen the white light before, so there was no need to ask. Moreover, there was no need to hide this kind of thing. On the contrary, they would publicize it and let their clansmen know about this good news. This kind of good news would greatly dispel any worries they had on the battlefield, allowing them to freely fight with the Ink Clan.

Feng Ying said, “Among those who came back, the Fifth Order Open Heaven should know about it, they were once hiding in Yang Kai’s Small Universe.”

The three hundred or so Ink Disciple who had been rescued earlier were all hidden in the Small Universe of Feng Ying and the others. Yang Kai only had the cultivation of a Sixth Order Open Heaven Stage master, so naturally, these Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage masters were kept by him.

Hearing this, Zhong Liang’s brow wrinkled slightly. This wasn’t an easy matter to handle. The Light of Purification needed to be publicized, but the existence of the World Spring needed to be concealed, because once this matter was exposed, it might cause some trouble.

Hearing this, Yang Kai replied, “Senior, please rest assured. Although I have taken in a few Fifth Order into my Small Universe, I have not exposed the existence of the World Spring.”

His Small Universe had too many secrets. Not to mention anything else, a large group of Small Stone Race and the living creatures he was keeping, as well as countless Yellow Crystals and Blue Crystals, were all placed inside his Small Universe. Yang Kai would not easily expose these things, so when he took in those Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage masters, he deliberately blocked their senses and only allowed them to move about in a small area. Anything outside this range was not something they could see.

Even when he let Zhong Liang inspect his Small Universe, Yang Kai had only exposed the existence of the World Spring and the Ink Force sealed in his body, allowing Zhong Liang to see what he wanted to see.

Zhong Liang nodded slightly, “Good.”

Originally, he had wanted Feng Ying to warn them about the existence of the World Spring, but now it seemed he had saved himself some trouble.

From this, it could be seen that Yang Kai was a meticulous person.

“You go rest, I’ll take him to see the Old Ancestor,” Zhong Liang ordered before hurriedly walking inside.

Feng Ying respectfully sent him off.

After exiting the hall, a large group of people were waiting outside, all of them from the clansmen who had fought side by side with Yang Kai and the other three hundred or so Ink Disciple.

Seeing Yang Kai appear, the cultivators who had once been Ink Disciples, led by Shen Ao and the others, all cupped their fists towards him, expressing their gratitude, but because Zhong Liang was here, it wasn’t appropriate for them to express their gratitude.

For them, this time could be said to be a new life. If it weren’t for Yang Kai purging the Ink Force from their bodies, they would still be Ink Disciples. Perhaps they would have followed their Ink Clan Master and killed their clansmen on the battlefield.

The group of Seventh Order Open Heaven Stage masters who were guarding and supervising the Ink Revealing Array stared at Yang Kai in amazement. The fact that the Ink Revealing Array had such a reaction meant that the person who had been detected definitely had some kind of Ink Force inside his body. In other words, he was Ink Disciple, but Zhong Liang had actually brought him into the mountain pass, causing them to be puzzled.

Moreover, from the reactions of the surrounding people, this young man who seemed to be Ink Disciple actually had an extremely high prestige amongst this group of people.

What was going on? The Seventh Order Open Heaven Stage masters looked at each other, speechless.

Zhong Liang ignored them and simply waved his hand, “What are you all doing here? Quickly rest and recover, we still have a fight to be fought!”

Although they had won a great victory in the previous battlefield, according to their experience over the years, the Ink Clan’s attack was definitely not something that could be repelled in a short period of time. It would take a long time before the Ink Clan could bear it and withdraw.

This period of time ranged from three to five years to several hundred years.

However, even if the Ink Clan retreated, the Human Race had no way to exterminate them. After a period of accumulation, the Ink Clan would return.

For countless years, this kind of thing had been repeated over and over again, and the Human Race was also guarding the last line of defense for the 3000 Worlds.

Following behind Zhong Liang, Yang Kai looked around and clicked his tongue in wonder.

The scene inside Blue Sky Pass didn’t look much different from a city. On both sides of the extremely spacious street, there were many houses, but there weren’t any shops. These houses all looked like residences for people to live in, but at this moment, the atmosphere was quite cold and the cultivators who passed by were all in a hurry.

“There are too few people,” Yang Kai muttered.

Zhong Liang explained, “The Human Race’s Pass basically has two lines of defense. The first line is the outermost defensive barrier, and as you can see, the second line is where the Ink Revealing Array is located. Now that a great battle has broken out, most of the people here have rushed to the first line of defense. Even if some of them have returned from their retreat, they are all resting in their respective residences. As a result, the Pass is relatively deserted. If there are no battles, the Pass is quite lively.”

Saying so, Zhong Liang turned to look at him, “I forgot to ask you, which family do you belong to?”

Yang Kai thought for a moment before replying, “Junior can be considered a member of Yin-Yang Heaven, but I don’t come from it.”

When he introduced himself to others, Yang Kai had said he was a disciple of Yin-Yang Heaven, mainly because he didn’t want to explain too much, but Zhong Liang’s identity was different. After all, he was an Eighth Order Ancestor, so it was better to speak the truth.

Zhong Liang asked curiously, “Since you’re not from Yin-Yang Heaven, how can you be considered a member of Yin-Yang Heaven?”

Yang Kai was a bit surprised, “Junior married a disciple of Yin-Yang Heaven, he can be considered Yin-Yang Heaven’s son-in-law.”

Zhong Liang opened his mouth slightly before suddenly smiling and patting him on the shoulder, “Good luck, the girls from Yin-Yang Heaven are all quite good.”

Generally speaking, the female disciples of the Cave Heaven Paradise would not marry outsiders, but if their aptitude was truly outstanding, the Cave Heaven Paradise would not hesitate to recruit them.

Zhong Liang had seen all of Yang Kai’s previous performances, and they were indeed extraordinary. In his opinion, it was understandable for Yin-Yang Heaven to use a female disciple to marry a rising star.

He had never thought that Yang Kai would marry not only Yin-Yang Heaven Disciple, but also two Core Disciples. If he had known, he would have been shocked.

“Blue Sky Pass also has people from Yin-Yang Heaven, I’ll bring you around when I have the chance!” Zhong Liang said casually.

“Many thanks, Senior,” Yang Kai cupped his fists and thanked him before asking suspiciously, “Isn’t Blue Sky Pass the mountain pass guarded by Blue Sky Paradise? Why are there still people from other Cave Heaven Paradise?”

This was something he had discovered a while ago. The Open Heaven Stage cultivators who had appeared on the battlefield were definitely not from Blue Sky Paradise, because there were many traces of Cave Heaven Paradise's divine ability and secret techniques.

Zhong Liang said, “Blue Sky Pass is indeed named after Blue Sky Paradise, and the one who presides over Blue Sky Pass is also my Blue Sky Paradise’s Old Ancestor, but the people here come from different places in the 3000 Worlds. Almost every Cave Heaven Paradise has people here, so how can it only be my Blue Sky Paradise? You must know that every Cave Heaven Paradise has its own strengths and shortcomings, and only by working together can everyone make up for their shortcomings. Blue Sky Pass is like this, and so are the other passes.”

Hearing this, Yang Kai immediately understood that his previous thoughts had been wrong.

Zhong Liang frowned slightly, “You don’t seem to know much about the situation here?”

Logically speaking, as long as one stayed in a mountain pass for a few days, they would naturally be able to understand this general knowledge. Yang Kai’s performance was similar to when he first arrived at the Human Race’s mountain pass.

Yang Kai fell silent for a moment before replying, “I won’t hide it from Senior, I know nothing about this mountain pass. This is also the first time I’ve come to the Human Race’s mountain pass.”

Zhong Liang was surprised, “How could that be? Then how did you get captured by the Ink Clan?” He had thought that Yang Kai had been captured by the Ink Clan on a certain battlefield and had been forced to disguise himself as Ink Disciple to follow them back to the Ink Clan’s hinterland, but now it seemed that was not the case.

Yang Kai cupped his fists and said, “It’s not convenient to explain the specifics, but after this Junior greets Old Ancestor, he will naturally explain.”

Zhong Liang frowned and stared at him for a moment, unable to understand what was so difficult about this. Considering his identity as an Eighth Order Ancestor, was there anything he couldn’t know?

However, since Yang Kai had said so, there must be some kind of secret involved, so he didn’t ask any further and simply said, “But we may not be able to see the Old Ancestor this time.”
