"Exit!!!"
Suddenly, Ye Kai felt as if his entire being was plunged into an endless whirlpool. Countless fine red threads, almost invisible to the naked eye, pulled him rapidly away in the opposite direction of the planet.
After several dizzy spells, he found himself in a place he knew all too well.
It was an indescribable sensation, a mysterious calling that grew stronger and clearer with each passing moment, the connection to his Bloodline intensifying.
He turned back one last time to glance at the pitch-black cosmic sky behind him. The star had already shrunk to a mere point, like an inconspicuous speck among the empty stars.
"Ha..."
Ye Kai suddenly opened his eyes, gasping for breath.
The dizziness that left him feeling powerless was unbearable, far worse than the dimensional teleportation of a god. What exactly lay within that 'infinite' time?
He really wanted to enter it.
However, he had just been in a soul state, and if he truly entered, his body...
Though the timing of leaving and entering was equally fleeting, he was fortunate to have maintained control over his heart; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
After some thought, he decided to lie flat on the soft bed. Moving even a finger felt like it required immense effort, as if he had reached his limit. Even the magic within him felt sluggish.
"It seems that if I want to enter again in the future, I need to find a better time and a well-guarded secret chamber."
Amidst his vague murmurs, Ye Kai fell into a deep sleep.
Little did he know that the rune sealing his mind had undergone a significant transformation; not only had its pressure increased by a third, but it also revealed a hole as wide as a finger.
...
After sleeping for a full ten hours, Ye Kai finally decided it was time to leave this place immediately.
In a corner of the Spacious Hall.
"Alright, I've learned what I needed to know. You must have already experienced the power of those magical tools. Here are a few bottles of elixirs that can quickly restore your mana, but this is only for this time!"
With that, he leaped forward, arriving in front of the two. Before they could speak, he formed a few magical seals with his hands. A hand glowing with five colors of Radiance suddenly materialized in the void and gently patted towards the corner.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!!!"
Ye Kai smirked slightly, contemplating for a moment before unleashing another surge of mana. He then extended his hand forward, pointing a finger. The five-colored Radiance hand expanded rapidly, grabbing a large skeleton from the corner of the hall, which was as hard as iron.
"Consume the elixir in that red bottle!"
Without further ado, he commanded the two to take the elixirs in their hands. Then he jumped directly into the dark opening that had already been created, from which a chilly wind was blowing.
Moments later, Yang Baishun and Ge Quan landed safely. After consuming the elixirs, they noticed no strange odors aside from a peculiar scent they had caught when they first entered.
The two no longer worried; their complexions had improved significantly. Yang Baishun greedily inhaled the air, opened his eyes wide in surprise, and exclaimed, "Is this the legendary Antidote Pill? It's truly remarkable! I not only feel my body brimming with vitality but also a gentle force expelling all the miasma!"
Ge Quan stood up as well, waving his arms in astonishment.
Ye Kai smiled silently.
He would not reveal anything about himself to them, even if these elixirs were merely concocted from some ordinary herbs aged over time, infused with just a hint of life force—barely enough to make a difference.
However, it seemed that this kind of thing held quite an allure for them?!
Seeing that Ye Kai had no intention of elaborating further, Ge Quan and Yang Baishun refrained from pressing him for answers but grew increasingly respectful instead.
In the cultivation world, strength equates to everything; this is an eternal truth!
"We should be on our way."
For some reason, Ye Kai suddenly felt a sense of unease in his heart, as if being watched by some terrifying creature. It made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
Although Ge Quan and Yang Baishun were puzzled, they showed no signs of opposition. Instead, they took out a compass-like artifact and, after some manipulation, finally determined the direction. The three of them swiftly flew forward, with one in front and two behind.
Frowning as he glanced at the two who occasionally stopped to fiddle with the compass, Ye Kai was lost in thought when Yang Baishun suddenly took a deep breath and exclaimed excitedly, "It was worth the great cost we incurred to come here; we've finally found our target! In about ten miles, we should reach the secret chamber. I hope the treasures inside won't disappoint us!"
Ge Quan and Yang Baishun murmured almost instinctively, their hearts racing with anticipation as they prayed fervently.
The maze-like passageway of about ten miles was traversed with little effort, leading them to a grand door that gleamed brilliantly, inscribed with three large characters: 'Treasure Room'!
Seeing these traditional characters, Ye Kai's mouth twitched slightly, but then his expression changed as he came to a halt.
He glanced at Ge Quan and Yang Baishun, contemplated for a moment, and decided it would be safer to let the robots scout ahead. Even if they encountered monsters, they would have the advantage since the robots lacked body heat and wouldn't attract skeletons or similar creatures.
Ten Combat Robots, fully armed in silver armor and wielding energy rifles, pushed open the massive metal door with a creaking sound that seemed incongruous with its size as they entered the guard room.
"Nobody here."
After waiting for ten minutes, Ye Kai sighed in relief. He lightly tapped his toes and silently floated inside.
Ge Quan and Yang Baishun looked around excitedly yet cautiously. After a moment of determination, they gritted their teeth and stomped their feet before following closely behind.
The Treasure Room appeared quite simple in design—no complexity whatsoever—spanning several hundred square feet. It contained a table and chairs, an incense burner, and all four treasures of the scholar's desk. On both sides of the walls stood a complete set of wooden shelves; on the left shelf were numerous jars and boxes made of jade.
On the right shelf lay various Jade Eye Tablets—dozens of artifacts glowing faintly.
Suddenly, Ye Kai's eyes brightened. He hadn't looked closely before, but now he fixated on a box placed in the corner.
With a thought, one of the Combat Robots immediately opened the wooden box, revealing several items exuding a metallic sheen: a Black Robe, a landscape painting, and a Jade Ring—nothing more.
However, upon seeing these items, Ye Kai's eyes sparkled; he instantly recognized their uniqueness.
The subtle fluctuations emanating from the Black Robe made him realize it was far more powerful than the standard White Crane Robe. The landscape painting was even stranger; it was utterly ordinary yet identical to one he already possessed.
Unlike Ge Quan and Yang Baishun's ecstatic expressions, Ye Kai had already released numerous Nano Flying Insects to explore carefully while keeping watch around the passageway.
He had already given the order that no living thing was to approach; anyone who did would be dealt with immediately.
More than three hours later, the three of them were quite satisfied with their haul.
Among them, Ge Quan and Yang Baishun treated Ye Kai like a living Buddha, as most of the collectibles Ye Kai had simply discarded as if they were trash, handing them over to the two without a second thought.
"Hmm? Someone actually discovered this place?"
After searching around and checking everything, Ye Kai suddenly frowned and muttered to himself. Although he didn’t know what exactly was trying to intrude, he sensed that the person’s cultivation was quite high and their magical artifacts were sharp.
"I didn’t expect to force the Nano Flying Insects to combine into ten!!!"
Ye Kai slammed his palm down on the table, shattering it, then picked up a piece of obsidian paperweight and crushed it with a forceful grip, causing it to break with a crack.
He tossed aside the broken paperweight and carefully picked out a bead from inside. Sniffing it, he found that while it didn’t have much practical use, its cool and faint fragrance seemed to bring a sense of calmness, making it a rare treasure in its own right.
"Wait… what is this…"
His eyes unexpectedly swept across a corner of the room, and Ye Kai's gaze sharpened in surprise.
On the ground where he had thrown away the broken paperweight, an extremely faint sound suddenly emerged. Though it was very subtle, it did not escape his ears.
"Bang!"
With a sudden stomp of his foot, a fist-sized box that seemed neither jade nor metal nor wood nor stone flew up into the air. Ye Kai caught it in his hand.
Upon closer inspection, he found that this object was completely intact and had no seams at all. Ye Kai was taken aback; instead of showing joy, his gaze flickered as if he were deep in thought.
Five-colored radiance flickered in his palm. After a moment, the box remained undamaged and showed no unusual signs, prompting him to ponder even more deeply.
Suddenly, Ye Kai's eyes turned toward one side as if he could see through the rock wall into the direction where a battle was taking place not far away.
The ten Nano Flying Insects had already grown over a meter tall. At this moment, not only had one been shattered, but it seemed that those few people also wanted to capture them all for further study.
"The strength of these people is quite impressive, and their magical artifacts are sharp. They seem to be disciples of some renowned sect, but do they really think that the Nano Flying Insects can be dealt with so easily?"
Ye Kai wore a playful expression. Although the Nano Flying Insects had sustained some injuries from the attacks of the few individuals, they were not fatal. Moreover, as long as there was one Nano Worm alive, they could 'revive' again.
No one wanted their hard-earned results to be taken by others, and Ye Kai was no exception. He secretly instructed WIKI to withdraw the Nano Flying Insects. He believed that if he encountered this group of people, something interesting would surely happen.
Ge Quan and Yang Baishun paid no attention to what he was doing and didn’t even ask about the item in his hand. The two excitedly took out their newly refined magical artifacts almost simultaneously, ready to test them out.
After all, Ye Kai had done this many times before; he was experienced and calm. He put away the box in his hand, called out to the two, and walked out with an indifferent expression.
"Your clues have been very useful; we have gained a lot this time."
The feeling of reaping without sowing was truly delightful, and Ye Kai smiled slightly.
"Not at all, it’s all thanks to you..."
"You are too kind; it’s just..."
But at that moment, Ge Quan and Yang Baishun's gestures of cupping their hands froze, their smiles stiffening as a sense of foreboding spread through their hearts. Almost simultaneously, they summoned two Flying Swords.
