MARTIAL PEAK 5741

Although the number of Lower Quality Open Heaven Pills produced by the Universe Furnace was not small, there were only nine Best Quality Open Heaven Pills.

Yang Kai had left behind some hidden marks in these nine Best Quality Open Heaven Pills in advance, and with the help of the Sun and Moon Marks, he was able to sense the location of these pills from a distance.

So as long as his luck wasn't too bad, he would be able to reap some benefits from this trip. As for how many Best Quality Open Heaven Pills he would be able to obtain, that was hard to say.

However, he hadn't expected that the first Best Quality Open Heaven Pill would be obtained so smoothly. Originally, he had only seen a Black Ink Clan Territory Lord and quietly follow him, but not only had he obtained a Spirit Pill, he had even met up with the Monster Race Body.

In the next step, as long as the three of them could reunite, even if he were to encounter the Black Ink Clan's Pseudo-Royal Lord, he would be able to put up a fight.

Looking at the current Universe Furnace, the only ones who could pose a threat to him were undoubtedly the Black Ink Clan's Pseudo-Royal Lords and perhaps the Chaos Spirit King. The latter were even stronger than the Pseudo-Royal Lords and were basically equivalent to Ninth Order Human Race masters.

However, whether the Chaos Spirit King existed or not, the Human Race's information was not certain. After all, the source of this information was Blood Crow, so it was just a guess.

No matter what, for Yang Kai, there were only two goals for him in this Universe Furnace. The first was to search for the Best Quality Open Heaven Pill, and the second was to find traces of his Human Race Body.

Focusing his thoughts, he carefully examined the object in his hand.

Seeing the extraordinary appearance of this pill, the glow it gave off and the aura it contained, it was indeed a good thing, worthy of being called the greatest opportunity in the world.

Although he had personally witnessed the birth of a Best Quality Open Heaven Pill, at that time he was unable to move or exert his strength, so he didn't have much understanding of this Best Quality Open Heaven Pill. The moment it took shape, it scattered and disappeared without a trace, causing Yang Kai's expectations to be dashed.

Thunder Shadow also looked around curiously, his amber eyes reflecting Yang Kai's thoughtful expression as he said worriedly, "This thing isn't for swallowing, it needs to be directly integrated into the Small Universe."

It was afraid that Yang Kai didn't know the mysteries behind this pill, and if he swallowed it in one gulp, it would become a joke.

According to the information provided by Blood Crow, the Open Heaven Pill produced by the Universe Furnace was different from the Open Heaven Pill refined by the Human Race. Although the latter was said to have originated from the former and the Human Race's predecessors had studied its medicinal efficacies for countless years before finally obtaining the method to refine the Open Heaven Pill, it was fundamentally two different things.

A man-made Open Heaven Pill only needed to be swallowed and refined to slowly enhance the foundation of a cultivator's Small Universe, but the Open Heaven Pill was different.

This was a pill that needed to be integrated into the Small Universe to absorb and digest its mysteries.

For example, Yang Kai was now at the peak of his Martial Dao, and there was an invisible barrier surrounding his Small Universe's territory, making it difficult for it to expand.

However, if he were to use this Spirit Pill in his hand, he would be able to completely dissolve the invisible barrier, allowing the Small Universe to continue expanding.

The expansion of one Small Universe's territory and the increase in one's physique would naturally increase one's foundation. This was the correct way to use the Open Heaven Pill produced by the Universe Furnace, and also the fundamental reason why this pill could help a cultivator break through their shackles.

Yang Kai had learned this information from the jade slip Liao Zheng had given him, so he naturally wouldn't act rashly.

Thunder Shadow asked again, "Speaking of which, is this thing useful to you?"

Yang Kai sighed, "It seems useless."

Although he had yet to refine this Open Heaven Pill, Yang Kai had a feeling that it was useless to him. Even if he were to fuse it with his Small Universe, it would not help him break through to the Ninth Order.

Because even if he was holding this Open Heaven Pill right now, the barrier of his Small Universe's territory would not react at all. If it was really useful, under the impact of this Spirit Pill's aura, the invisible barrier would at least show some signs of movement.

Perhaps this was related to the drawbacks of the Open Heaven Method and the Three Parts Normalizing Art Wu Kuang had taught him.

The Open Heaven Method was not perfect, but it was not the Martial Ancestors' fault. At the time, they had used the World Tree's power to comprehend the Open Heaven Method and teach it to the Human Race, allowing the Human Race to have the ability to compete with the Monster Race and the Black Ink Clan in ancient times. Without Cang and the other Martial Ancestors, the Human Race would not exist today.

However, among the 50 known Dao, the Martial Ancestors were able to comprehend 49 Dao, there is one Dao that could help them escape the shackle. This Dao is hidden in the Universe Furnace, something that the Martial Ancestors found difficult to comprehend.

A Best Quality Open Heaven Pill could supplement the imperfections of the Open Heaven Method, allowing a Great Dao to be completed, and let the cultivator to break through their shackles.

However, the Three Parts Normalizing Art that Wu Kuang had imparted to him was something he had spent many years deducing. Among the ten Martial Ancestors, Shi's ability to deduce cultivation technique was the strongest. Otherwise, there wouldn't have been such a heaven-defying Evil Art like the Heaven Devourer Battle Law.

The Three Parts Normalizing Art was a technique he had deduced to resolve the drawbacks of the Open Heaven Method, so after Yang Kai cultivated this technique, he had embarked on a different path from the Open Heaven Method.

The Best Quality Open Heaven Pill that could supplement one of the Dao's escape methods was meaningless to him.

Realizing this, Yang Kai didn't know whether to laugh or cry, not knowing if he had been tricked by Wu Kuang.

If he hadn't cultivated the Three Parts Normalizing Art back then and hadn't obtained a Monster Race Body or something, with the Spirit Pill in hand, he would have a chance to break through to the Ninth Order. At that time, with his powerful foundation, he would be able to sweep through this Universe Furnace World, the Black Ink Clan's Pseudo-Royal Lord, Chaos Spirit King, and so on.

But now, even if he had a precious treasure with him, he could only sigh helplessly.

Of course, he had chosen his own path, and judging from the situation at that time, walking this thorny path filled with danger was his only choice.

Who knew when the Universe Furnace would appear? The Human Race urgently needed a Ninth Order master to stabilize their destiny, so Yang Kai was stuck at the peak of the Eighth Order, unable to advance. With such a method, he would naturally cultivate it.

Wu Kuang had good intentions.

This matter couldn't be blamed on anyone, it could only be said that fate played tricks on people. Who would have thought that at such a critical time, the Universe Furnace would suddenly appear and Yang Kai would simply obtain a Best Quality Open Heaven Pill?

Sighing to himself, Yang Kai took out an exquisite wooden box and placed the Best Quality Open Heaven Pill, which was emitting a brilliant light, into the box. After placing a few seals on it, he carefully put it away.

Turning his head to look around, Yang Kai saw that the jellyfish-like Chaos Body were still drifting about aimlessly. Yang Kai opened up his Small Universe and used his Space Principle to collect them.

Thunder Shadow quietly watched from the side, not knowing who is going to suffer from this.

He had personally experienced the strangeness of these jellyfish-like Chaos Body. Although they weren't particularly lethal, once he came into contact with them, his mind would be impacted.

Most importantly, it was almost impossible to detect them when they transformed into nothingness, so they were truly good items.

When he had encountered the gray fog that contained a universe before, Yang Kai had wanted to collect it, but unfortunately he had been unable to do so. Now, facing these jellyfish-like Chaos Body, he naturally wouldn't be polite.

As he collected them, he chatted with the Thunder Shadow.

Although the Thunder Shadow was his Monster Race Body, because of the uniqueness of the Three Parts Normalizing Art, the Thunder Shadow itself could be considered an independent entity. After all, its birth and growth could be traced back to a true living being.

However, as its strength continued to grow, the various pieces of information Yang Kai had sealed in the depths of its Divine Soul gradually began to unravel, allowing Thunder Shadow to understand what kind of existence he was and what kind of mission he had to shoulder.

This was the same for Fang Tianci. Now that Fang Tianci had advanced to the Eighth Order, he naturally understood everything he needed to know.

At this moment, he was probably searching for the whereabouts of his main body and Monster Race Body.

To be honest, chatting with his clone like this was quite novel, but if one only saw it as another independent life form, there was nothing special about it.

After the Thunder Shadow had become a Great Emperor, it had spent a long time cultivating in the Myriad Monster World because only in the Myriad Monster World would it be able to rapidly increase its strength as a Great Emperor.

It wasn't until nearly a thousand years ago, when its strength had reached its limit, that it came out of seclusion and went to the battlefield to kill its enemies. What it talked about the most was Qin Xue, a human race Seventh Order who had taken great care of it since it was weak. Without a doubt, Thunder Shadow had a deep affection for her and had always been worried that she would encounter some kind of misfortune in the future great battle.

"Does that Three Parts Normalizing Art really allow you to break through to the Ninth Order?" Thunder Shadow suddenly asked.

As Yang Kai stored the jellyfish-like Chaos Body, he said, "No one has ever walked this path before, so no one knows if they can succeed or not. However, since this is a method developed by Shi in the past, there shouldn't be any problem."

"That Wu Kuang, is nothing good…" Thunder Shadow snorted.

Yang Kai smiled lightly, "What I believe in is not Wu Kuang or Shi, but myself! Although the three bodies have yet to become one, I can feel that if the three bodies become one, it will indeed help me break through my shackles."

"At that time, I and the human race body will completely disappear."

"You are me, I am you. Returning to one does not mean disappearing."

"You're wrong. You're you, the human race body is you, and I'm you, but you're not us. There's still a difference."

Yang Kai frowned…

Thunder Shadow licked his leopard claws and said, "What's wrong? Is the topic serious? Don't worry, I and the human race body have long since understood this, when the time comes, we will not hesitate."

"No…" Yang Kai sighed as his Small Universe's door closed, "This jellyfish-like Chaos Body has contaminated my Small Universe, I can't take too much."

He was still thinking too simply. After these jellyfish-like Chaos Body were collected into the Small Universe's territory, they were constantly releasing this strange power to attack his mind.

With the Soul Warming Lotus protecting him, Yang Kai wasn't afraid.

However, these Chaos Body were all condensed from the chaotic and shattered Dao Marks, so to Yang Kai, they were nothing more than impurities. If he collected too many of them, it would somewhat affect his Small Universe.

Originally, Yang Kai had planned to collect all of the jellyfish-like Chaos Body here, but now it seemed that he could only bear with the pain and give up. Yang Kai could still suppress the ones he had taken in, but if he were to take in more, it would be difficult.
