With the experience of sealing the first one, the rest went much easier. In less than ten days, three of the four Territory Gates were sealed by Yang Kai, leaving only a single passage to go to and from the Hundred Spirits Continent.

In this way, as long as that exit was secured, then no one would be able to sneak into the Hundred Spirits Continent to commit violence.

Yang Kai had no idea whether it was possible for a Demon Saint level Master to break his seal, but at the very least, it was impossible for a Half-Saint. The Lotus Sisters had already confird this by taking turns to attempt it themselves. Yang Kai estimated that even if his seal could not defend against a strong Demon Saint attack, it should still be able to last so ti.

If he could shorten the ti it took to seal a gate, then this trick might co in handy for him…

So, for a long ti following that, Yang Kai stayed in front of one of Hundred Spirits Continent’s Territory Gates, constantly sealing and unsealing it, sealing and unsealing it, and so on…

The Lotus Sisters were watching quietly from the side, oblivious as to what he was doing. The task that Senior Chang Tian had given him was already completed, so they could’ve returned back long ago. Yet, this brat just had to find work out of nothing, forcing them to have to accompany him as well to protect him. Naturally, they were a little unhappy with the state of affairs.

Hei Lian asked Yang Kai about what he was doing, and the answer she got was that he was trying to cultivate the Dao of Space through this thod.

She had no idea how one cultivated the Dao of Space, so she just went along with whatever he said.

But Yang Kai was indeed improving at a visible rate. In the beginning, he needed three whole days to seal a single Territory Gate, but the ti it took him to accomplish it beca shorter and shorter. A few months later, he needed only ten breaths of ti to seal a Territory Gate, and with just a wave of his hand, he could make the Territory Gate reappear.

......

The Lotus Sisters found this quite incredible. How the Territory Gates were ford was a mystery that perhaps only the Demon Saints knew a thing or two about. After so many years, no one has ever been able to play around with the Territory Gates like a toy in the palm of their hands.

On this day, while Yang Kai was trying to master his techniques of sealing the Territory Gates, his brow suddenly twitched and his hands stopped before he swiftly imrsed his consciousness into the Small Sealed World.

Imdiately, the Embodint’s voice erged in his ears, “I’m making a breakthrough!”

Yang Kai was stunned for a mont before becoming overjoyed.

The Embodint’s cultivation had been stagnant for a long ti since devouring Shi Huo’s Source. After awakening, he had gained a cultivation on par with a peak Emperor Realm. After cultivating endlessly with the help of the Heaven Devouring Battle Law for such a long ti, his strength naturally increased by a good amount, and now after devouring so many Myriad Demon Pills recently, he had obtained enough power for a breakthrough. It could be said that Yang Kai had constantly been waiting for him to grow to the level of a Half-Saint.

The number of Myriad Demon Pills they found in the lost continents was not small. Right now, after consuming around seventy to eighty percent of them, the Embodint was prid for a breakthrough.

Only, Yang Kai never expected this breakthrough to co so late. In his predictions, Embodint should have broken through a long ti ago.

“Want to bring you out?” Yang Kai asked. Even though the World Principles in the Small Sealed World were now considered complete, and breaking through to the Emperor Realm shouldn’t be a problem inside, the Embodint probably was unable to break through the final layer inside the Small Sealed World if he had contacted him like this.

Yang Kai thought that he needed to break through in the outside world.

“No, it’s useless. I think I have to head back to Cloud Shadow Continent!”

Yang Kai was a little puzzled by this answer, but thinking back to the fact that the Embodint was now the Master of Cloud Shadow Continent, he understood. This must concern sothing he had no knowledge of, and if the Embodint was to break through these shackles, then he would likely have to rely on so factors from Cloud Shadow Continent.

With this in mind, Yang Kai imdiately said, “Wait for a mont!”

With that, he restored the sealed Territory Gate, turned around, and got on Zhui Feng’s back before saying to the Lotus Sisters, “I have so business that I must see Senior Chang Tian about, so I’ll be going first.” Squeezing the horse’s sides with his legs, Zhui Feng neighed and turned into a bolt of light. The two Lotus Sisters behind them looked at each other, not knowing what on earth he was doing, but they had no choice but to rush over to follow him.

Since Chang Tian had entrusted Yang Kai’s safety to them, they had to stick close to him.

Moving as quick as lightning, it didn’t take long before they returned to the castle. Jumping off the horse’s back, Yang Kai hurriedly went inside.

The giant lion nad Xiong Shi suddenly appeared to stop him. Looking down at Yang Kai from above, its rumbling voice asked, “What do you need, boy?”

Perhaps because of Chang Tian, Xiong Shi displayed a rather friendly attitude towards Yang Kai, no longer scorning him like when they had just t.

Yang Kai cupped his fist, “I want to see Senior.”

Cocking his head to the side, Xiong Shi listened attentively for a while and gently nodded, “Go in. Sir is inside.” After saying that, he moved aside.

In the sa dark, cold, and empty hall, Chang Tian sat cross-legged in the centre. Dark Demon Qi filled the interior like flowing clouds of mist. When Yang Kai entered, the Demon Qi was sucked back into Chang Tian’s body like a whale inhaling water, leaving not a single drop behind.

The darkness was lit up by two bright rays of light, just like two small suns.

Without dallying, Yang Kai cupped his fist and said, “Senior, I have to take a trip back to Cloud Shadow Continent, so I’ve co to bid farewell to you.”

Chang Tian nodded at his words, “Go ahead. Take care.”

[Isn’t he even going to ask what I’m going to do there?] Yang Kai was taken aback by how easily he agreed, but this was also the result he hoped for. He had no idea what he was going to do if Chang Tian refused to let him go.

“Many thanks, Senior,” Yang kai turned around and left.

Since he was here in Hundred Spirits Continent, Yang Kai had to tell Chang Tian if he wanted to return to Cloud Shadow; otherwise, he wouldn’t have wasted ti coming here.

“Let Zhui Feng accompany you,” Chang Tian’s voice ca from behind him, “It’s not too convenient for the Lotus Sisters to show their faces outside, but Zhui Feng is different. With him accompanying you, I’m sure no one would dare to try anything with you.”

Yang Kai halted his steps. Turning around, he nodded slightly at Chang Tian before speeding up and leaving the hall.

When he left, he t Xiong Shi again, who looked at him with a look of surprise, “Done talking already?” It seed as if he had gone in for just a few breaths of ti.

Yang Kai smiled, “Sir is quite easy to talk to.”

[He’s only easy to talk to for you!] Xiong Shi looked thoughtfully at his back.

When the Lotus Sisters rushed over, they were just in ti to see Yang Kai climb onto Zhui Feng’s back. Then, in the blink of an eye, he disappeared again, leaving both of them speechless, but soon, Chang Tian’s Divine Sense transmitted a ssage to their ears. Once they understood the reason, both sisters breathed sighs of relief.

They had nothing to do while accompanying Yang Kai for the past few months, which really felt stifling for them.

In the sky, Zhui Feng was in high spirits. Especially after passing Hundred Spirits Continent’s Territory Gate into another continent, the change was especially obvious. It felt like it had entered a sea large enough for fish to leap and a sky high enough for birds to fly through.

Though Hundred Spirits Continent was big, it was still a cage for Zhui Feng. Only the entirety of the Demon Realm combined was a suitable place for it to run free.

As the ground retreated beneath their feet, the violent incoming winds forced Yang Kai to protect himself with his Emperor Qi, but for Zhui Feng, this feeling almost tasted as sweet as candy, and he only ran faster and faster.

Under Yang Kai’s guidance, the pair passed through Territory Gate after Territory Gate, traversing continent after continent. In less than half a day, man and mount had already made it back to Cloud Shadow Continent from Hundred Spirits Continent, a terrifyingly small amount of ti.

As soon as they arrived at Cloud Shadow Continent, Yang Kai got off and patted Zhui Feng’s neck. Then, tapping on the void, he opened a gap to the Sealed World Bead.

In the next mont, the Embodint’s huge figure erged from the gap, which gave Zhui Feng a terrible fright. It quickly jumped away and eyed the Embodint warily.

Yang Kai didn’t bother to calm him down either, because the fluctuating aura around the Embodint’s body proved that he was indeed at the edge of a breakthrough. Only, he was unable to resonate with Cloud Shadow Continent while he was inside the Small Sealed World, and couldn’t cross through that final barrier.

After he erged from the Small Sealed World, the undulating aura around the Embodint beca more and more obvious.

The Embodint fell rapidly from high in the sky and turned into a small black dot in the blink of an eye.

But the mont he hit the ground, he simply and silently sunk into it and disappeared.

With a look of amazent, Zhui Feng went after him, digging at the place where the Embodint disappeared with all four hooves. As dirt was kicked into the air, a hole quickly ford in the ground…

Yang Kai stood solemnly in mid-air, gazing at a certain point in the earth. Even though he could not see the Embodint presently, he could sense where he was.

For all living beings, whether they be Human or Spirit, or perhaps even Demon, every breakthrough to a new Great Realm was a test of life or death. Yang Kai had no idea whether the breakthrough of a Half-Saint was considered a Great Realm’s breakthrough, nor did he know what sort of dangers the Embodint would face during this experience, but there was nothing he could do to help. The Embodint could only rely on himself.

Fortunately, though the Embodint cultivated an evil art such as the Heaven Devouring Battle Law, he was able to avoid its drawbacks to a great extent due to his body being that of a Stone Spirit; otherwise, swallowing up so much raw energy would surely make one suffer unimaginably during a breakthrough.

From this point of view alone, Heaven Devouring Great Emperor, who was able to cultivate the Heaven Devouring Battle Law to such a peak, was indeed a genius among geniuses. Yang Kai still had no idea how Wu Kuang was able to resolve the issues caused by cultivating the Heaven Devouring Battle Law.

Yang Kai thought that an anomaly was sure to appear during the Embodint’s breakthrough this ti, possibly even resulting in extensive damage; after all, he and Cloud Shadow Continent had already ford a close link.

But to his surprise, the Embodint went silent after sinking into the earth. Not to ntion a Heavenly Manifestation, not even a single sound was heard. It was as if the Embodint had fallen into a deep sleep after sinking into the ground.

Yang Kai couldn’t even get much information through his senses. The inseparable connection that he shared with the Embodint all this while had also beco blurry, as if he had entered a different world.

Hearing a neigh Yang Kai was woken up from his worries. Looking over, he saw Zhui Feng covered in mud from head to toe, baring his teeth next to him and neighing constantly. This guy seed to have searched for half a day, but was still unable to find the Embodint. On the other hand, it did excavate a large hole in the ground. From the looks of it, he had co to Yang Kai to complain.

But how could Yang Kai have the ti to pay him any attention? He just pushed his head aside.
