The Immortal Ascension Boundary masters of the seven family coalition held their breaths as they watched the battle high up into the sky.
The two Above Immortal Ascension Boundary Grand Elders who had yet to fight also closely observed.
“Brother Huo, that ng Wu Ya... just how strong is he?” The square faced master whispered to the fat old man, although he had watched the entire battle just now, his understanding of what happened was obviously less comprehensive as the one who had actually been fighting.
The fat old man from the Huo Family let out a long sigh and smiled helplessly, “Please forgive for only being able to use the words ‘completely unfathomable’.”
The square faced old man couldn’t hide his surprise when he heard this response.
The fat old man shook his head and continued, “I am not trying to overstate things in order to preserve my own prestige. I have lived many years and have been diligently studying the Above Immortal Ascension Boundary for much of that ti, forming my own unique sentints and understanding about the Heavenly Dao, but I have never once encountered anyone like him... Forget about one-on-one, even if all eight of us fought him consecutively in order to wear down his strength, he would still be able to beat all of us.”
“What!?” The square faced old man cried out in shock as his face went pale.
Although he knew that ng Wu Ya wasn’t a simple opponent, this evaluation was simply too high, but since the fat old man dared to say so, he must have absolute confidence in his judgent.
All eight of them had been together for so many years and were well aware of each other’s personalities so he knew that this Huo Family Grand Elder was never one to exaggerate.
“That Devil Lord is also extraordinary...” Old Demon’s opponent who had also been defeated just now slowly opened his eyes and said bitterly, “Although his strength isn’t as exaggerated as that ng Wu Ya’s, he’s not soone any of us can deal with.”
The fat old man’s eyes suddenly narrowed as he muttered in a pensive tone, “It’s not just about them being strong. I sohow feel like there is a more fundantal difference between the two of them and us... like we aren’t even on the sa plane.”
“What do you an? How can we not be on the sa plane as them? Aren’t they also Above Immortal Ascension Boundary cultivators?”
“I can’t explain it well.” The fat old man’s brow wrinkled, when he compared himself and ng Wu Ya, he always felt like the latter was standing on the cloud, overlooking himself from a height he was unable to even conceive of.
“On the other hand, Ling Tai Xu is quite normal.” Yang Li Ting interjected, “Ling Tai Xu’s cultivation is similar to our own, but you can see ng Wu Ya’s shadow in each of his movents. After discussing the Martial Dao at High Heaven Pavilion for so many years, he must have learned a lot from ng Wu Ya. In terms of his practical ability, he should only be able to win two rounds before exhausting his strength.”
“Win two rounds!” The square faced old man’s expression beca ugly, “Doesn’t that an we’re going to lose all eight rounds?”
Their opponent numbered three while they had eight, so even if Ling Tai Xu only fought twice, ng Wu Ya and Old Demon could easily handle everyone else.
‘If we could just win one round’, this simple idea had beco the extent of these eight Above Immortal Ascension Boundary master’s ambitions, it was really quite laughable.
All five of the Grand Elders were extrely depressed but also powerless to change anything.
These people forrly sat in the Seal Temple and were hailed as Grand Elders of the Eight Great Families, Above Immortal Ascension Boundary masters that all the world’s people worshiped and paid homage to, even if they knew there were so out there better than themselves, they didn’t think the difference would be very big. It was not until today, at this mont, that they realized just how ignorant and incompetent they really were.
“Frogs sitting at the bottom of a well, staring up at the sky, thinking they know everything there is to know of the world...” Yang Li Ting muttered faintly, his words reflecting the thoughts of all of the old n present.
“Brother Ye, whoever you fight, whether it is ng Wu Ya or that Devil Lord, you must take extre caution. ng Wu Ya is better, he at least holds back sowhat, but that Devil Lord does not show any rcy.” The old man who had taunted Old Demon before seriously warned, “You as well, Brother Liu, no matter what, avoid being wounded by his Demonic Qi... it is particularly difficult to resolve.”
After managing to say these few words, the old man’s complexion paled again and he hurriedly circulated his healing art, apparently not having completely recovered yet.
The Grand Elders from the Ye and Liu Families nodded solemnly, the square faced Ye Family old man suddenly wearing a dignified expression as he turned his head and glanced towards Yang Kai.
Currently, Yang Kai was also paying attention to the fierce battles up above imrsing himself in the various profundities being displayed.
Suddenly, a slightly disconcerting feeling arose in his heart.
Yang Kai imdiately raised his guard upon feeling this faint chill shoot through his body, but after hurriedly examining himself he didn’t discover anything out of place.
Frowning, he turned his gaze towards the old n from the Eight Great Families and just happened to et eyes with the square faced Ye Family Grand Elder.
The other party indifferently stared back for a mont before moving his line of sight away.
“Little Lord...” Tang Yu Xian quickly noticed Yang Kai’s perturbed expression and imdiately asked, “What is it?”
“Nothing,” Yang Kai shook his head, “Probably just a misconception.”
“En.” Tang Yu Xian saw that there was nothing wrong with him and stopped asking.
Narrowing his eyes at the square faced old man for a mont, Yang Kai’s brow furrowed. Although he didn’t perceive anything wrong with himself, that flash of disquiet a mont ago was definitely real.
Just as beasts have sharp instincts, so too do cultivators, and to a certain extent, a cultivator’s instincts is more sensitive and precise than a wild beast’s.
That square faced old man wanted to act against him or had already done so, causing him to subconsciously detect sothing.
Seeing that the situation was deteriorating, was this old man trying to find a way to turn things around by targeting him? Yang Kai’s expression beca gloomy as he cursed in his heart.
Yang Kai didn’t dare show the slightest neglect. If a master at the Above Immortal Ascension Boundary secretly took action against him, it would be normal for him to not notice anything.
Gently taking a breath, Yang Kai closed his eyes and used his powerful Divine Sense to carefully inspect every part of his body but still found no abnormalities.
Sending his Divine Sense into his Knowledge Sea, Yang Kai’s Soul phantom floated above the vast sea and scanned the surroundings.
His Knowledge Sea was as tranquil as always, colourful fish swam through the water while birds flew through the sky. These fish and birds were ford from threads of his Soul and carried all of Yang Kai’s mories and experiences.
In the middle of his Knowledge Sea, there was a five coloured island, quietly standing there like a great treasure mountain.
Above the island, a small sword and a strange round object gently floated.
The five coloured island was obviously the Soul Warming Lotus while the little sword Yang Kai’s Soul type artifact. As for the strange round object, it was the treasure that had appeared from the seventh page of the Black Book.
Unfortunately, Yang Kai still had no idea what this round object’s function was or even what it was supposed to be. From the mont he acquired it and it settled in his Knowledge Sea, it had provided nothing to him nor caused him any harm.
Along with the light spring drizzle, the scene inside Yang Kai’s Knowledge Sea could only be described as a paradise on earth, filled with wonder and beauty.
[Was it really just a misconception?] Yang Kai pondered, had the other party not actually taken action against him?
After all, beforehand, Old Demon had been worried about this possibility and had deliberately announced it to the public while the square faced old man had loudly declared it was impossible for them to target Yang Kai while ng Wu Ya, Ling Tai Xu, and Old Demon were distracted.
These eight were ancestor level mbers of the Eight Great Families, the words that they spoke naturally carried weight.
Smiling wryly, Yang Kai turned around to withdraw from his Knowledge Sea.
But at that mont, his movents suddenly stopped and his eyes filled with frigid light. Staring around at his Knowledge Sea with a cold, piercing gaze, he suddenly let out a laugh and muttered, “Interesting, I don’t rember it ever raining inside my Knowledge Sea.”
Everything in one’s Knowledge Sea was a reflection of oneself. When one was happy, there would be nothing but sun and blue skies for tens of thousands of kiloters, when one was distressed, there would be storm clouds and pouring rain wherever one looked.
Yang Kai had thought that this spring drizzle was just a reflection of his current mood, but he quickly realized that sothing was wrong. When he tried to control it, he found that this drizzle actually had no relation with himself.
Since this rain had no connection with him, it must be soone else’s sche.
“Show yourself!” With a great angry shout, Yang Kai’s forrly calm Knowledge Sea suddenly turned into a rampaging storm with waves rising high in the sky and water columns leaping from the water like dragons.
The drizzle seed to stagnate for a mont and then, under the intense bombardnt from Yang Kai’s Divine Sense, ca to a complete halt.
An illusory figure suddenly appeared not far in front of Yang Kai, staring towards him with a dignified expression.
“I knew it was you!” Yang Kai sneered, ridiculing, “What, are the words of a noble Above Immortal Ascension Boundary master nothing more than farts?”
The opposite person was the Soul phantom of the Ye Family’s square faced Grand Elder.
Since he had appeared tonight, he had constantly denounced and opposed Yang Kai, making the latter wonder just where he had offended him. Finally, after thinking about it, the only explanation Yang Kai could co up with was that this old man was helping Ye Xin Rou.
After all, he was a Grand Elder of the Ye Family.
There was a good deal of surprise on the old man’s face, apparently he had never thought that Yang Kai would see through his thods, nodding faintly as he praised, “You really are out of the ordinary, having an Immortal Ascension Boundary Second Stage cultivation yet being able to see through this old master’s Soul Skill. This old master’s Spring Drizzle has never failed before.”
Spring Drizzle, Silent Infiltration, was a unique technique of this old man.
As an Above Immortal Ascension Boundary master, he had originally thought that using this move to deal with Yang Kai was overkill, but to his surprise, before achieving anything, he was seen through and exposed.
Yang Kai just snorted and stared at him coldly without saying a word.
“Yang Family brat, how did you cultivate your Knowledge Sea?” The old man asked, “With your Second Stage cultivation, it’s absolutely impossible for you to have such massive and pure Spiritual Energy. This kind of Spiritual Energy strength, although much worse than this old master’s, is still far above that of an ordinary Peak Immortal Ascension cultivator.”
“Old dog, you sneaking into my Knowledge Sea was not to ask such a retarded question, right?” Yang Kai mocked, not waiting for the opposite party to respond before continuing, “Did you think that since your plans tonight have failed miserably you could find so way to salvage the situation by plotting against ?”
The old man didn’t care about Yang Kai’s mockery and just casually replied, “This old master was just curious, if you don’t want to tell , I won’t bother asking. In any case, I’ll be able to figure it out sooner or later. As for the reason why this old master snuck in here, naturally I want to unravel so of your secrets.”
“My secrets?” Yang Kai gawked for mont before wearing a sly grin, “About how I quickly improved the strength of my allied cultivators?”
The old man nodded without any sha, “Right, your Yang Family not coming to your aide tonight is clearly because they want to force you to retreat to the Central Capital to accept their asylum. We are also taking advantage of your Yang Family’s attitude to see if we can obtain your thods. However, even if we’re not able to obtain your secrets first, how could our seven families not gain any benefits after accompanying your Yang Family to put on this show tonight?”
