In Purple Phoenix City, Seven Stars Workshop’s disciples could be seen everywhere. Fortunately, these Seven Stars Workshop’s guests were just as Shangguan Ji had said and did not cause any trouble in Purple Phoenix City.
This made the Purple Phoenix Palace’s higher-ups both happy and puzzled. Could it be that Seven Stars Workshop really only sent these disciples to the outside world to gain experience?
But why choose Purple Phoenix City?
However, after many investigations, Purple Phoenix Palace finally understood one thing, and that was that the Emperor Realms of Seven Stars Workshop seemed to care a lot about a little girl who was wandering around the Purple Phoenix City. Almost every moment, there were two or three of them secretly watching over her.
They only watched her secretly, never exposing their whereabouts, never interfering with her life, allowing her to roam the city alone.
This little girl was the cause of this incident.
Since the Seven Stars Workshop placed so much importance on this little girl, Purple Phoenix Palace naturally didn’t understand. They wanted to investigate this little girl’s background, but after a thorough investigation, they came to a shocking conclusion. No one knew which family this little girl was from or when she had come to Purple Phoenix City. There was no record of her entering the city from the four city gates, it seemed she had suddenly appeared in Purple Phoenix City.
Although they didn’t understand the origins of this little girl, they finally understood Seven Stars Workshop’s intentions, allowing Purple Phoenix Palace to breathe a sigh of relief.
Since this little girl’s involvement was so great, Purple Phoenix Palace didn’t dare to be negligent. The higher-ups ordered everyone in the city to do their best to open the door for this little girl.
Since then, the little girl’s days in Purple Phoenix City had become much more comfortable. No matter what she ate, she didn’t need to pay, and when night fell, the owner of an inn would invite her inside to rest.
Inside the Marketplace, Yang Kai sat cross-legged, silently refining his cultivation resources.
Spreading out his Small Universe, allowing the Old Ancestor to recuperate, this did not affect his cultivation.
The people from Purple Phoenix Palace and Seven Stars Workshop only thought that the Old Ancestor was an ordinary person who had never cultivated before, but as the master of the Small Universe, Yang Kai could clearly feel that there was a mysterious force constantly pouring into the Old Ancestor’s body.
This was the power of the bustling world.
The purification of this power was the foundation of the Old Ancestor’s healing, and even Yang Kai couldn’t understand its mysteries.
While the Old Ancestor was recuperating, the Yin Yang Pass was also closed, allowing the Black Ink Clan’s army to freely provoke them. Only when the enemy was close enough would they use the Spirit Arrays and artifacts outside the Yin Yang Pass to repel the enemy.
Half a year passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Yang Kai was focused on refining his resources when he suddenly felt something and sent his Divine Sense to a certain place in the Small Universe’s Purple Phoenix City.
In Purple Phoenix City, Miao Feiping was diligently carrying out the Supreme Elder’s secret order, almost constantly keeping an eye on the Supreme Elder's heir. Fortunately, after the previous incident, Purple Phoenix Palace seemed to have realized that this little girl’s identity was special and no one dared to seek trouble with her, which saved Miao Feiping a lot of trouble.
During this time, the Supreme Elder’s heir was eating breakfast at a stall. Usually, this Supreme Elder's heir was like a whirlwind, but today, for some reason, she suddenly stopped eating and revealed a thoughtful look.
Immediately after, she stood up and walked straight towards him.
Miao Feiping was greatly surprised. It had to be known that he was a Third Order Emperor Realm master. At this moment, not only had he used a Secret Technique to conceal himself, but even his aura had been completely concealed. Not to mention an ordinary cultivator, even an ordinary Emperor Realm master wouldn’t be able to easily discover his whereabouts.
However, the Supreme Elder’s heir was actually walking towards him. Had he been discovered?
Miao Feiping quickly denied this possibility. Although the Supreme Elder is powerful, his heir had no traces of cultivation, so it was impossible for her to discover him.
So when this person was about to approach him, Miao Feiping silently stepped aside.
Who would have thought that this little girl would just stand in front of him and not leave, even turning to look at him with a smile on her face and a pair of crescent eyes?
This time, Miao Feiping was truly shocked. He took a few more steps, but the little girl in front of him continued staring at him.
“Junior Sister, can you see me?” Miao Feiping asked in surprise.
The little girl smiled, “Junior Sister?”
Miao Feiping was shocked beyond words. She really was able to see him! But how was this possible? After such a long time, he had clearly seen that this person in front of him had no traces of cultivation at all, so how could this situation be explained?
Just as he was beginning to doubt himself, the little figure in front of him smiled and said, “Forget it, it’s been hard on you these past few days.”
Miao Feiping didn’t know how to respond for a moment and muttered, “It’s my duty, Junior Sister is being too serious.”
The little girl nodded like an old woman before suddenly raising her head to the sky and saying, “Let me out.”
Saying so, the small figure in front of him suddenly disappeared.
Miao Feiping couldn’t help becoming absent-minded.
The abnormality here quickly attracted the attention of the nearby Seven Stars Workshop’s Emperor Realm masters and they all rushed over to inquire about it. The news immediately spread to Shangguan Ji and when he rushed over, he didn’t see the little girl.
Fortunately, Miao Feiping soon received the Supreme Elder’s decree, stating that this mission had been completed, making everyone from the Seven Stars Workshop breathed a long breath.
At the same time, a small figure suddenly appeared in the Marketplace.
Seeing this, Tang Qiu, who had been waiting here, quickly bowed respectfully.
The Old Ancestor nodded slightly and looked at Yang Kai thoughtfully, “Your Small Universe, the flow of time is different from the outside world?”
Yang Kai replied, “Disciple cultivates the Time Law, so the flow of time in my Small Universe is more than four times faster than the outside world.”
When his Small Universe was completed, because of the Time Laws, the flow of time was twice that of the outside world. Later, when his Third Disciple Xu Yi was cultivating the Great Desolate Scripture in Seven Stars Workshop, for some unknown reason, his Small Universe also benefited and the flow of time became four times faster.
Therefore, although Yang Kai had only cultivated in the Marketplace for half a year, the Old Ancestor had already spent two or three years in the Small Universe.
Hearing this, Tang Qiu was stunned for a moment before exclaiming, “Four times the speed of the outside world?”
Yang Kai nodded seriously.
Tang Qiu looked at him as if he was looking at a monster, “Your Small Universe has raised a living creature and is constantly increasing your strength. With a flow rate of four times faster, isn’t this like adding wings to a tiger?” Suddenly realizing something, he said, “No wonder you broke through to the Seventh Order Open Heaven Stage so quickly, so this is the reason.”
Previously, he had been curious. Yang Kai had only been promoted to Open Heaven Stage for a few years, and although there were many opportunities, the speed of his advancement was a bit too fast, but if the flow of time in his Small Universe was different from the outside world, everything made sense.
“What a pity…” Tang Qiu suddenly sighed again. Unfortunately, Yang Kai promotion to Open Heaven Stage start from a Fifth Order. Although he had consumed a Mid Rank World Fruit which had allowed his strength to increase by one grade, his limit in the future was only an Eighth Order.
[MSN: Well, it's all because of your CHP flawed rules. Instead of recruiting 7th order seed, you suppressed them.]
If he had been able to break through to the Seventh Order directly back then, he would have had a chance to become an Old Ancestor-level master.
With such a heaven-defying opportunity in his possession, compared to other people who had a chance of reaching the Ninth Order, how much time could he save?
“There’s nothing to be sad about, everything in this world is set in stone,” The Old Ancestor obviously understood what Tang Qiu was sighing about, “It’s not like Yang Kai doesn’t have any hope of breaking through to the Ninth Order in the future, but he still needs to work hard in the future, so it’s best to settle this matter first.”
Tang Qiu’s expression immediately became solemn as he cupped his fists and said, “The four armies of Yin Yang Pass have long since been prepared, please give the order.”
The Old Ancestor looked out of the pass and said lightly, “Everyone, attack!”
The deep sound of a bugle horn resounded throughout the entire Yin Yang Pass. The soldiers of Yin Yang Pass, who had been cultivating for more than half a year, quickly arranged their forces and gathered at the eastern gate.
The entire periphery of Yin Yang Pass was surrounded by the Black Ink Clan’s army, and the eastern gate was no exception.
At this moment, at the eastern gate, the Black Ink Clan was shouting provocations.
Over the past half a year, this kind of situation had occurred almost every day. Yin Yang Pass’s closed door seclusion had caused the Black Ink Clan to become increasingly arrogant.
Therefore, when the Yin Yang Pass's barrier was opened and a tide of Human Race soldiers rushed out from the eastern gate, the group of Black Ink Clan people who had been provoking and cursing couldn’t react in time.
Wherever the Human Race’s Battleship passed, the stunned Black Ink Clan was reduced to pieces.
In the distance, several Territory Lord noticed the Human Race movement and their spirits rose as they loudly ordered their armies to meet the enemy. During this period of time, they had been unable to fight with the Yin Yang Pass, so now that the Human Race had finally come out, they naturally wanted to kill to their heart’s content.
The two armies soon collided in the void, the light of Secret Techniques and Artifacts illuminate the void as flesh and blood splattered across the battlefield.
As soon as they clashed, the Black Ink Clan’s army showed signs of decline.
This time, the Yin Yang Pass’ army had emerged from the east gate, while the Black Ink Clan’s army had spread out to surround Yin Yang Pass. Aside from the Black Ink Clan outside the east gate, the other Black Ink Clan armies were still on their way to reinforce them.
What’s more, after all the previous battles, the number of Black Ink Clan armies had fallen.
In the past, the Black Ink Clan had been able to constantly replenish their forces from the rear, but this time, the Black Ink Clan’s rear had been turned upside down. Not only had the Royal Lord been seriously injured, but even five of the Territory Lords had died, and countless of the Black Ink Nest had been destroyed. While the Human Race was recuperating, the Black Ink Clan still had reinforcements, but their numbers were few and far between, making it difficult for them to replenish their losses.
However, the Black Ink Clan continued to fight to the death. It wasn’t that everyone from the Black Ink Clan was unafraid of death, but if the Territory Lord commanding the army didn’t give the order, who would dare to retreat? Retreating before battle was a capital offense.
For the Territory Lords, as long as their subordinates didn’t suffer too many casualties, it wouldn’t matter how many of the other High Rank and Low Rank Black Ink Clans died. On the contrary, they could rely on the High Rank and Low Rank Black Ink Clans to exhaust the strength of the Human Race.
In terms of military strength, the Black Ink Clan was much more convenient than the Human Race.
Therefore, this kind of exchange of forces was extremely beneficial to the Black Ink Clan, and all the Territory Lords understood this principle.
The Black Ink Clan army at the eastern gate was forced to retreat again while the Black Ink Clan army from several other directions rushed forward to assist. At this moment, a small figure suddenly appeared on an unremarkable Battleship.

I guess at that time the author was constrained by time or something or didn't have any good inspiration so he came with this "suppresion" thing. Such is life of a writer.
Just look at R. R. Martin( a song of ice and fire series), it has been 11 years since his last book and from what i have read, the new book it is only ~75% finished. On the other hand the fantasy writer Steven Erikson finished 10 books in 11 years, the malazan book of the fallen series. So there are many variables in consistency of writing.
Also, i…
