Several days later, Yang Kai looked at the hideous ring in his hand and sighed softly. There was no helping it given that he didn’t know much about the Dao of Artifact Refining. Although he originally planned to refine a Space Ring, what he actually produced after all that effort was a black and crude ring with no sense of aesthetics at all.

Fortunately, the practicality of the item was not bad even though the appearance was rather ugly. He had used Space Principles to open up a small space inside of the ore, taking advantage of its natural properties, which was enough to hold quite a number of things.

!!

Afterward, he went to the storehouse. When he found so resources that might be useful to him, he stuffed them all into the Space Ring.

Dan Cheng Zi was right. Baili Yun Sang really intended to train Yang Kai to beco the next Sect Master of Profound Pill Sect; after all, ten years of dull and lonely retreat combined with Yang Kai’s enormous contribution to the Sect was enough to prove his loyalty to Profound Pill Sect.

Following the Elder Promotion Ceremony, Profound Pill Sect secretly built up the montum and fervently boosted his reputation. A 30 year old Spirit Grade Alchemist, the youngest Elder, the future hope of Profound Pill Sect… All kinds of praises were added to Yang Kai’s na. For a ti, he was in the spotlight of the entire Divine Armant World and the entire Profound Pill Sect was incredibly proud of him!

…

Vanishing Sword Mountain was one of the Ten Great Sects in the Divine Armant World.

The so-called Ten Great Sects were not fixed, but changed with the Divine Armant Tournant that was held every 100 years. Only the Sects that managed to obtain a Divine Armant were eligible to be part of the Ten Great Sects. The title was an honorary title. It was also a symbol of strength to so extent, but that was not always the case.

There was one such Sect among the existing Ten Great Sects. The Sect’s overall strength was not particularly superior. It was only because they had a Heaven-defying person among their ranks who managed to obtain one of the Divine Armants in the last Divine Armant Tournant that the Sect was also promoted to beco one of the Ten Great Sects.

Having survived for over 1,000 years, Vanishing Sword Mountain had a long history. Moreover, they managed to obtain the Divine Armant True Void Sword on nurous occasions throughout the past 1,000 years. Accordingly, the Sect was also periodically listed as part of Ten Great Sects. It could be said that Vanishing Sword Mountain was one of the undisputed leading Sects in the Divine Armant World.

Even without the protection of a Divine Armant, nobody dared to underestimate the strength of this Sect. What more when the Divine Armant True Void Sword was currently in Vanishing Sword Mountain?

In the dark of the night, the full moon hung high in the sky and cold moonlight illuminated the world. A ghostly figure silently appeared out of nowhere on top of a tall building.

Yang Kai stood on the highest point of Vanishing Sword Mountain, looking down on the large Sect that boasted an inheritance lasting over 1,000 years. The True Void Sword around his waist was currently humming like crazy.

Looking down, he raised an eyebrow. The True Void Sword around his waist was sothing that the Ancestral Founder of Void Spirit Sword Sect spent a lot of resources to forge in the past. It was an imitation of the genuine Divine Armant, but the sword itself was just a Spirit Armant.

Regardless of the circumstances, there would always be a subtle connection between the replica and the genuine object. If not for that, Yang Kai would not have deliberately carried the True Void Sword with him. He could have just stored the sword in the Space Ring.

At this point, Yang Kai had almost finished refining the dicine King Furnace. He was only one step away from completion. Once he took that last step, he would definitely obtain a portion of the Divine Armant World’s Source Strength. At the sa ti, this world would also produce a strong rejection force to expel him out of the Divine Armant World. At that ti, he would be forced to leave even if he didn’t want to.

It was not easy for him to co here, so it was only natural for Yang Kai to want to acquire more benefits.

The Divine Armant World’s Source had been divided into ten pieces, and the Ten Great Divine Armants were the physical embodints of these pieces. If Yang Kai wanted to acquire more benefits, then he would need to refine more of the Divine Armants!

For that reason, Vanishing Sword Mountain was his first target. That was because the Divine Armant True Void Sword was here!

Yang Kai was very curious as to what would happen if he refined all of the Ten Great Divine Armants. Would he be able to devour the entire World Force of the Divine Armant World and expand his Small Universe enormously as a result? If that were the case, he figured he would imdiately advance into the Seventh-Step Open Heaven Realm!

As for whether he would be discovered, Yang Kai was not worried. His strength had reached a point where he was now unrivalled in the Divine Armant World. There was no need for him to continue living if he was discovered despite moving about so sneakily. What’s more, the Divine Armant was not owned by anybody. Even if he stole the True Void Sword, Vanishing Sword Mountain would have no way of determining the culprit.

The fact that the Divine Armants had no owners was sothing he deliberately inquired about from Dan Cheng Zi. That was because he had found the situation very strange when he previously refined the dicine King Furnace.

Logically speaking, the dicine King Furnace should have an owner when it was already in Profound Pill Sect. In reality though, Yang Kai had not felt anybody’s aura in the dicine King Furnace.

Lan Yin also ntioned in the past that there was nobody in Profound Pill Sect who could refine the dicine King Furnace. If that was the case for the dicine King Furnace, then it would surely be the sa for the rest of the Divine Armants!

The so-called Armant Masters were simply people who had obtained the Divine Armants; however, the Divine Armants were nothing more than weapons that were slightly sharper than Spirit Armants in their hands. They were completely incapable of bringing out the true power of the Divine Armants.

Throughout the ages, many heroes had tried to beco the true Masters of the Divine Armants; unfortunately, nobody had ever succeeded. There was even a precedent of being killed by the backlash from trying to refine a Divine Armant.

From the standpoint of an outsider, the Divine Armants were the manifestations of this world’s Source Strength. If people in this world wanted to refine the Source Strength, they would need to have the vision and the strength to escape the shackles of this world; otherwise, their attempts would only lead to their destruction.

It was just that each Divine Armant also represented various Grand Dao’s of this World, so the benefits that these Divine Armants could bring were imasurable even if they were just placed in a hall and studied. Take the Vanishing Sword Mountain’s True Void Sword for example. If a person could comprehend the mysteries of the True Void Sword, they could significantly improve their attainnts in the Sword Dao.

Everybody in Vanishing Sword Mountain was trained in the sword. Not to ntion, they had obtained the True Void Sword multiple tis over the past 1,000 or so years. That was why there were countless Sword Masters in Vanishing Sword Mountain.

The True Void Sword on Yang Kai’s waist continued to hum. The sound was soft, but the hearing of the Masters in Vanishing Sword Mountain was sharp and keen. Nobody noticed his arrival, but they definitely noticed his presence now.

A shout rang out from the shadows, “Who is sneaking around!?”

Nurous sword waves blasted out towards Yang Kai from all directions as soon as those words rang out. In an instant, the place where he had been standing was covered in an inescapable barrage of attacks. When the sword lights subsided, more than a dozen silhouettes had already leapt onto the building’s roof. They searched the surrounding area, but there was nothing there.

“Where is he?” One of them was puzzled and bewildered.

“Could it be that we were mistaken?”

“Impossible. I saw it clearly. There was definitely sobody standing here just now.”

“A person who can escape from beneath our noses must be a High-Rank Spirit Realm Master. Who knows why he is sneaking around. Hurry up and inform the Mountain Lord about this.”

With a few simple words, sobody quickly rushed off to make a report. The remaining people summoned more of their comrades to search their surroundings for anything suspicious.

The entire Vanishing Sword Mountain was thrown into turmoil in a short ti. Figures weaved about in the dark of the night and each one surged with Spirit Qi. This display highlighted the imnse heritage of this Sect.

At the sa ti, Yang Kai suddenly appeared in a quiet place.

The True Void Sword at his waist had already been stuffed into his Space Ring. The montary connection ford from the resonance between the replica and the genuine object was enough for him to confirm the location of the actual Divine Armant, so at this point, leaving his True Void Sword out in the open would only invite more trouble.

Yang Kai stood at the entrance to a certain mountain valley. He turned to look around and saw a stone monunt by the side of the stone valley. The characters ‘Sword Pedestal’ were carved on the stone monunt.

He raised his brow slightly at the sight. The Sword Pedestal of Vanishing Sword Mountain was famous all over the world. It was also the Restricted Area located in the deepest parts of Vanishing Sword Mountain. It was reasonable for the True Void Sword to be placed here.

Yang Kai stepped inside, his figure flitting about with no fixed pattern. Under the night sky, he looked like a ghost. Muffled groans and the thudding sounds of sothing heavy dropping to the ground would co from the shadows from ti to ti. These were the sounds of the secret guards stationed outside the Restricted Area being knocked unconscious.

It didn’t take long before Yang Kai arrived in the deepest part of the Restricted Area.

There was a sword inserted straight into the middle of a stone cistern on top of a round platform. In terms of shape and appearance, the sword was identical to Void Spirit Sword Sect’s True Void Sword, and under the moonlight, the blade of the sword reflected the moonlight with a cold brilliance.

Yang Kai stared at the sword calmly, seeming to hear a vague and mysterious voice in his ear. However, the voice was indistinct and incomprehensible.

The dicine King Furnace had a Grand Dao Divine Tone. Naturally, so did the True Void Sword. While the dicine King Furnace contained the Truth of the Alchemic Dao, the True Void Sword contained the Truth of the Sword Dao! If one could comprehend the Grand Dao Divine Tone in this place, one would surely reach the greatest heights of the Sword Dao possible in the Divine Armant World.

There were four n with white hair and white beards sitting at four points around the round platform where the True Void Sword was located. The four of them looked extrely old. The beard of the one with the longest beard was so long that it actually dragged on the ground. One of them wore green robes, another red, another yellow, and the last one wore white. Their respective colours were very distinct.

Yang Kai might have travelled soundlessly when he walked in from the outside, but his movents had not escaped the eyes and ears of these four people. That was why all four of them opened their eyes at the sa ti and stared at him fixedly as soon as he arrived here.

It was just that Yang Kai had surged his Space Principles, so the space surrounding him fluctuated constantly. Even though the strength of these four old n was horrifying, they were unable to discern his true appearance. All they could see was a humanoid shadow which they couldn’t even tell was male or female.

The four Elders had neither seen nor heard of such strange thods before, so their expressions instantly beca solemn.

The green-robed old man asked, “Who are you?”

...

Yang Kai shifted his gaze from the True Void Sword and swept a glance over them. Then, he gently nodded and said, “I’ve long heard that Vanishing Sword Mountain had four Elders of the Four Seasons. Each one has strength that has reached the peak of the World. Now that I see you today, you truly are worthy of your reputation!”

Although none of them had made a move, Yang Kai could feel the mighty aura of the Spirit Qi coming from the bodies of these four old n. Their Spirit Qi was practically at the limits of this world.

The red-robed Sumr Elder quickly said, “We old n have not involved ourselves in the world for a long ti, so we were unaware that people like you exist in this world. It seems that great talents are born in every generation!”

The yellow-robed Autumn Elder asked, “Why did you co here?”

Yang Kai grinned, “I ca to borrow the True Void Sword!”

The four Elders exchanged glances with each other, but there was no anger in their eyes. The white-robed Winter Elder said, “We have been instructed to guard this place and watch over the True Void Sword. If you wish to take the True Void Sword, you will have to kill us first; otherwise, you will never take the True Void Sword away.”

Yang Kai smiled slightly, “Respecting the elderly and cherishing the young are the virtues of my generation. You are not young anymore, so you really shouldn’t be acting so violent. I will leave after taking the True Void Sword.”

While saying so, he boldly strode forward.

The expressions of the four Elders changed drastically. Although they did not seem to have moved, a sword suddenly appeared in each of their hands; then, flashing sword lights attacked Yang Kai from all directions.

None of them had used any fancy moves when attacking him. On the contrary, each move they made was only the simplest of forms. It was just that the terrifying Spirit Qi in their bodies was controlled so that every attack contained imnse power.

All four of them were among the strongest Masters of this world, so it could be said that their combined strength was invincible; however, a scene that shocked them to the core appeared before them today. The hazy figure was completely unaffected by their attacks. Step by step, he slowly approached the True Void Sword. The space around him beca distorted and warped. At the sa ti, all the attacks aid at him were inexplicably extinguished.
