“Who is Yang Kai?” The short old man frowned. He had never heard of this name before.
“He was a newcomer whose Dao Strengths had manifested into a river. He arrived about 8,000 years ago,” someone explained.
The short old man finally understood, “I seem to have some impression of him, but how could a newcomer kill Jian Ba? Where is he?”
“He left,” Chong Jiu replied.
“Where did he go?”
“He left, from this place.”
The Supreme Masters were stunned for a moment before staring at Chong Jiu in shock.
Being the focus of attention of so many Supreme Masters, Chong Jiu felt as if an enormous mountain was weighing down on him. The Supreme Master who was standing by his side subtly stepped away from him, drawing a clear line between them.
“You said… he left this place?” The short old man asked. Although his tone remained calm, his heart was in turmoil.
“Brothers, Sisters, there’s no need to stare at me like that, he really did leave. This friend and I saw it with our own eyes,” Chong Jiu stated as he pointed towards the Supreme Master who had just stepped away from him.
The man’s face darkened, but he knew he couldn’t avoid it. All he could do was brace himself and nodded, “Yes, he did leave.”
Chong Jiu smiled and said, “Weren’t you all attracted by those strange fluctuations? I’ll be frank with you, according to the rumours, there are two ways to leave the Taboo Realm, and the second method is apparently true. Yang Kai used that method to leave this place. What’s more, when he broke through the restrictions here, he seemed to also break through to the next realm, allowing him to kill Jian Ba!”
Since ancient times, it had been passed down that there were two ways to escape the Taboo Realm. One was to constantly fight and kill other Supreme Masters. So long as you killed enough Supreme Masters, you would have a chance to leave this place. The second was to have enough people from your original Universe remember you and wish for your return.
Whether the first method would work or not, no one knew, because few people ever died in the Taboo Realm.
But now, the second method had been proven effective. If Chong Jiu wasn’t lying, Yang Kai had left the Taboo Realm using this method.
Under these circumstances, there was no need for Chong Jiu to lie, everyone was well aware of this.
“How is that possible? Once we arrive here, the denizens of our Worlds would’ve quickly forgotten about us. Without any memories, how can they remember us? This is simply impossible,” Someone questioned.
Chong Jiu spread out his hands and stated, “I don’t know. In any case, Yang Kai told me a long time ago that his world would never forget him. Perhaps because he saved his Universe, the people of that world still remember him?”
The Supreme Masters still found it difficult to accept this, because from ancient times until now, there had never been a precedent of anyone leaving this place.
But now, a newcomer who had only entered 8,000 years ago had done just that.
This made them envious, but at the same time, they also saw a glimmer of hope.
If someone could leave here, it meant that this Taboo Realm wasn’t a prison they couldn’t escape from, it was just that they had not found the right way.
It was definitely impossible to count on Yang Kai’s methods. Not mentioning who knows how his world still remembered him, the main reason was that he had only been here for 8,000 years.
The others had simply been here for far too long. Before Yang Kai, the previous Supreme Master to arrive here had done so some 20,000 years ago. After tens of thousands of years, all traces of his existence in his world would have long since vanished
“You can get a glimpse of the next realm after breaking the restrictions here? What kind of Realm is that?” The short old man asked.
Chong Jiu shook his head, “I don’t know what Realm he reached, but once he broke through, he casually snapped Jian Ba’s sword with just two fingers.”
All the Supreme Masters gasped in shock.
What those two fingers destroyed was not just a sword, but Jian Ba’s Dao!
One could only imagine what amazing realm Yang Kai must have reached at that instant.
“Everyone, before Yang Kai left, he told me that he will find a way to rescue me. Although I don’t know if he would be able to do it, if he does, everyone here will have new hope of finding a way out.” Chong Jiu threw out another piece of news that excited everyone.
In an instant, the expressions of all the Supreme Masters present changed.
Half a day later, the Supreme Masters finally dispersed.
Chong Jiu let out a long sigh and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Although he was also a Supreme Master and didn’t fear any individual in the Taboo Realm, being stared at by hundreds of Masters just as strong as him still felt like being stabbed multiple times.
If he hadn’t thrown those words at the last moment, Chong Jiu believed that these guys would have attacked him together and then interrogated him for more information.
Even if he had already divulged everything he knew…
However, everything was different once he spoke those last words. As long as they still wished to leave the Taboo Realm, they would not make things difficult for him in the future. In fact, if anyone dared to make things difficult for him, they would become public enemies of this Taboo Realm!
