Martial Peak Chapter 914 - Returning

Chapter 914, Returning

Back at High Heaven Pavilion, ng Wu Ya had been a mystery, and this mysterious background had not been uncovered even in the Central Capital.

Yang Kai had never understood Treasurer ng’s true depths until he ca to Tong Xuan Realm and talked with Ancestral Founder Chu Ling Xiao. It was only then that he gained a faint idea of ng Wu Ya’s true cultivation: Third-Order Saint!

Chu Ling Xiao had said that ng Wu Ya had fought a great battle with the current Demon Commander after which he disappeared. Whether he was alive or dead was uncertain.

After learning about ng Wu Ya from Yang Kai, Chu Ling Xiao speculated that he had been struck by the Demon Commander’s Profound Heavenly Seal, causing his strength to be restricted to the Peak Immortal Ascension Boundary.

The Profound Heavenly Seal consisted of three seals in total, each one stronger than the next; ng Wu Ya had been looking for a way to break these seals all this ti.

Back in the Central Capital, he had successfully lifted the first seal and restored his cultivation to the Third-Order Transcendent Realm.

Then, after returning to Tong Xuan Realm, at so point over the last ten years it seems he was able to lift the second seal and regain the strength of a First-Order Saint.

Now, after enduring the torture of the stone pillar, the third seal had been forcefully broken, allowing him to return to his peak.

It was a small blessing in disguise.

“This old master just restored his original strength, you don’t have to act so shocked; rather, it’s you, you little brat, who is the real surprise. After not seeing you for ten years, how did you manage to keep up with Ning Chang’s growth? Just how many rare opportunities did you encounter?” ng Wu Ya swept Yang Kai with his Divine Sense and couldn’t help feeling so shock upon discovering his current cultivation.

He was well aware of how terrifying Xia Ning Chang’s aptitude was and he had also spared no effort in raising her these past few years, allowing her to have her current accomplishnts.

However, Yang Kai’s own progress had not lagged behind at all, and even showed so signs of surpassing his treasured apprentices.

On top of that, when he left the Central Capital a decade ago, his apprentice’s cultivation was higher than this little brat’s.

This thoroughly shocked ng Wu Ya.

“Heh heh, I just had a little luck,” Yang Kai scratched his head.

ng Wu Ya laughed and no longer pursued the matter. Yang Kai encountering a variety of opportunities really could be considered a form of luck, but being able to improve one’s strength to such a degree in just ten years no doubt also required incredible aptitude and hard work.

[This little brat... he definitely went all out!] ng Wu Ya thought to himself.

“If Brother Ling knew about your current situation, he would be very pleased,” ng Wu Ya sighed, reminiscing about his old friend Ling Tai Xu who was back in the Central Capital.

“Treasurer ng, do you know how to get back to the Central Capital from here?” Hearing him ntion his Grand Master, Yang Kai hurriedly asked.

“Do you want to bring over Brother Ling too?” ng Wu Ya guessed what ​​Yang Kai was thinking.

“En. The cultivation environnt here is many tis better than the one over there. If Grand Master had been born here instead, he would likely already be a Saint!”

“You’re right about that, but unfortunately, this old master doesn’t know how to return to the Central Capital!” ng Wu Ya sighed once more, “This old master only managed to arrive on that side by coincidence, and when I did so I was heavily wounded and in sothing of a daze. It would be impossible to find the Void Corridor I passed through at that ti.”

Hearing this, Yang Kai was slightly disappointed.

“You wanting to bring them over to this side is a good idea, but do you have the resources and ability to accommodate all of them?” ng Wu Ya looked at Yang Kai and smiled, “There are so many people back in the Central Capital. If you really brought them all to Tong Xuan Realm, forget about anything else, would you even be able to protect their safety? In addition, you would need a place to house that many people and a way to provide them with cultivation resources. You alone won’t be able to take care of so many people. If you can’t handle these issues, then it would be better to leave them in the Central Capital for now, at the very least, they won’t have to worry about a place to live or encountering dangers.”

“About all that, old sir doesn’t have to worry,” Li Rong pursed her lips and laughed, “Master is not alone in this world and is fully capable of protecting the safety of any number of people.”

“Hm? Why do you say that?” ng Wu Ya looked at Li Rong suspiciously.

“Because Master is now the Holy Master of Nine Heavens Holy Land.”

ng Wu Ya’s look changed greatly as he shifted his eyes back to Yang Kai. Upon seeing Yang Kai nod in acknowledgent, Treasurer ng’s face couldn’t help twitching, “You actually beca the Holy Master of that place? Were all those Saintesses blind or sothing? What the hell did they see in you?”

Yang Kai rolled his eyes, falling speechless while Li Rong covered her mouth to stifle her laughter.

ng Wu Ya’s expression beca serious in the next instant, “So that ans, the old Holy Master of Nine Heavens Holy Land is dead?”

“En, it happened not long after you left the Holy Land with Little Senior Sister.”

ng Wu Ya sighed, “Sure enough, when I t him last ti, I saw that he didn’t have long to live, I just didn’t expect him to pass on so soon. Little Brat, your rapid growth in strength isn’t because you cultivated the Holy Land’s core inheritance Secret Art, right?”

“No.”

“Good, you must absolutely not cultivate that Secret Art! As far as I know, that technique consus one’s vitality in exchange for a massive increase in cultivation speed. The faster one’s strength improves, the shorter their life becos. This old master does not want to see Ning Chang’s tearful face one day when you die young. In any case, with your aptitude, as long as you work hard, you’ll reach the level of this old master sooner or later, so living a thousand years will be easy, there’s no need to use that kind of Secret Art that only chases shadows while sacrificing substance.”

“What Treasurer ng said is also what I thought,” Yang Kai nodded.

“That’s good,” ng Wu Ya seed to have rested enough as his face had regained a rosy complexion and his aura had beco deep and calm like the sea, “Since you have a place to live, this old master and Ning Chang will stay with you for a while! These years have been bitter, running east and west all the ti. That girl has not been able to live a stable life for quite so ti.”

As he spoke, Treasurer ng glanced over at Xia Ning Chang, who was still pretending to be asleep, several tis, shaking his head helplessly.

[I know my treasured apprentice is outstanding in every way... but when it cos to her fondness for this little bastard, Ha...

She is so shy that just after ten years of not being able to see him has left her hesitant to even look at him.

If she were to follow this little brat in the future, wouldn’t she be bullied to death by him?]

Thinking of this, ng Wu Ya couldn’t help breathing sowhat heavily as he felt like a fishbone had gotten stuck in his throat, wishing he could reach out and choke Yang Kai half to death right now!

Yang Kai had already picked up Xia Ning Chang, gently holding her in his arms.

The tender body of Little Senior Sister also gradually began to give off an amazing heat.

“Lead the way,” ng Wu Ya faintly said, thinking the less he saw the better.

Treasurer ng had heard the conversation a mont ago between Yang Kai and the Monster Race masters so he knew this place was quite far from Nine Heavens Holy Land.

However, Yang Kai didn’t have any intention of flying, instead summoning out a small glowing object. The blue glow soon expanded and revealed a long shuttle-like object which suspended itself in front of everyone, stopping its expansion upon reaching about ten ters in length.

“Hm, this artifact’s grade is quite high,” ng Wu Ya had an experienced eye so when the saw the long shuttle, he couldn’t help praising it, “It seems the Nine Heavens Holy Land’s Holy Master receives quite generous treatnt.”

He naturally believed that this artifact was so kind of treasure left behind by one of the previous Holy Masters of Nine Heavens Holy Land.

However, Li Rong recognized the true origins of this long shuttle and exclaid, “Isn’t this that thing?”

“En, after refining it, I discovered it’s actually a flight type artifact.”

“A flight type artifact?” ng Wu Ya’s brow rose slightly, “A rare sight.”

“Its speed is very high.”

“Oh, how high?” ng Wu Ya stared blankly at Yang Kai.

“You’ll know once you try it,” Yang Kai grinned, not stating things clearly; the speed of the Flying Heavens Shuttle was sothing one had to experience for themselves, no words could describe it. “Please hop on.”

ng Wu Ya and Li Rong didn’t say much and just jumped up onto the Flying Heavens Shuttle.

Yang Kai brought Xia Ning Chang up as well and sat down at the back of the shuttle, settling Little Senior Sister into a comfortable position in his arms before calling out, “Hold on to your hats.”

Issuing a command with his Divine Sense, the Flying Heavens Shuttle transford into a stream of light and seemingly broke free of the fetters of space, crossing a hundred kilotres in the blink of an eye.

ng Wu Ya, who was sitting at the bow of the Flying Heavens Shuttle, felt his eyes bulge. Spreading out his Divine Sense, he quickly discovered how sensational the speed of this artifact was and couldn’t help feeling incredibly shocked.

Li Rong also covered her mouth and exclaid.

“Little brat, how does this artifact possess such astonishing speed? Who refined it?” After a long ti, ng Wu Ya asked Yang Kai via Divine Sense ssage, still sowhat unable to contain his emotions.

This Flying Heavens Shuttle’s speed was several tis faster than any top master’s all out sprint.

“I don’t know who refined it, it’s sothing Li Rong and I inadvertently found in the Starry Sky about a year ago,” Yang Kai briefly explained how he had obtained the Flying Heavens Shuttle, not feeling any need to conceal anything from ng Wu Ya.

“The Starry Sky? You’ve been to the Starry Sky?” ng Wu Ya was shocked once more.

“En, if you want to see it, I can show it to you another day,” Yang Kai thought he might be curious about the legendary Starry Sky.

“No need...” Unexpectedly though, ng Wu Ya just slowly shook his head, a solemn expression appearing on his face as he hesitantly said, “This old master has probably seen the Starry Sky.”

“Old sir isn’t certain?” Li Rong felt sowhat puzzled by his words and asked with a chuckle.

“Because this old master’s consciousness was sowhat blurry at the ti. It was actually while I was bound to that stone pillar,” ng Wu Ya recalled and explained, “I always felt that place was extrely important and profound. While I was being tortured, it felt as if my Soul left my body and travelled to many different places, the Starry Sky being one of them. Those places were located in the north, east, west, and south of Tong Xuan Realm, each one separated by tens of thousands of kilotres. However, because of the pain from the torture, I cannot rember much detail about them.”

Pausing for a mont, he continued in a solemn tone, “Little Yang Kai, my instincts are telling that you should not have destroyed that place.”

“You’re saying that too, Treasurer ng?” Yang Kai heard this and was startled.

“Who else told you that?”

“Great Demon God’s Soul Clone! He said that it was the keystone of the entire world, and that if I destroyed it, I would have to bear unimaginable consequences.”

“Keystone?” ng Wu Ya frowned and asked, “What else did he say?”

Yang Kai thought for a mont and replied, “He also said that this world had been sealed for too long and that it was ti for it to step into the light again.”

ng Wu Ya suddenly went silent as a pensive look appeared on his face, seemingly in deep thought over sothing...
