Many people who saw the true appearance of the bead like Zhu Ge Xing Wei were beside themselves in shock.
Zhu Ge Xing Wei calmed himself down. He wanted to thank Yang Kai, but just as he was about to, Yang Kai casually tossed the World Bead to him.
A chill shot up through Zhu Ge Xing Wei’s spine.
Even if he was a Fifth-Order Open Heaven Realm Master, he was still thrown into a fluster as he tried to catch the bead.
Holding the World Bead refined from the Profound Abundant World in his hands, Zhu Ge Xing Wei’s smile was even uglier than when he was crying. He looked at Yang Kai, stuttering, “Senior, this… this…”
[What do I do now?]
Although it was good news that the entire Profound Abundant World had been refined into a World Bead, how could he keep it? He was afraid that if he made any slight movements, he would cause the entire Profound Abundant World to collapse.
Yang Kai, on the other hand, waved his hand in a totally unconcerned manner and stated, “There’s no need to be so cautious. I’ve also refined the Void around your Profound Abundant World to insulate it. As long as you keep it close to you and prevent it from coming into contact with any powerful shocks, like the attacks of an Open Heaven Realm Master, the Profound Abundant World won’t be in any danger.”
Zhu Ge Xing Wei suddenly understood why the outer layer of the bead was grey, it was actually a buffer space surrounding the Profound Abundant World.
This revelation finally put Zhu Ge Xing Wei at ease. Following Yang Kai’s instructions, he put the World Bead in his pocket close to his chest, and also patted it to check. Even then, he was still not completely at ease, but it would have to do for now.
Then, he earnestly bowed to Yang Kai, “Senior’s great kindness is something that the entire Profound Abundant World will never forget.”
Yang Kai lightly nodded his acknowledgement before stretching his hand out, poking into the Void. The next moment, a portal appeared in front of him, one that led to Swallowing Seas Sect with the help of the Space Beacon he had given to Wang Xuan Yi, “Go in and join up with Swallowing Seas Sect.”
Zhu Ge Xing Wei thanked him once more before leading his 200 or so disciples through the portal. The next moment, they arrived at Swallowing Seas Sect, where they saw Wang Xuan Yi, Yang Qing, and the others. After chatting, when everyone came to learn about Yang Kai’s feat of refining the Profound Abundant World, they were thoroughly shocked.
Even someone like Wang Xuan Yi, who was someone from the Cave Heavens and Paradises, had never heard of people refining a World into a bead.
Thus, he was in great shock, but more than that, he was overjoyed.
Originally, the evacuation and relocation could only ensure the safety of the top cultivators from various Sects and great forces. They were completely powerless to help the myriad living beings in all the defenceless Universe Worlds. Now, thanks to Yang Kai, everyone in the entire Swallowing Seas Territory could evacuate.
Not just Swallowing Seas Territory, as long as there was enough time, the same feat could be repeated in many other Great Territories.
Wang Xuan Yi couldn’t help but recall the question Yang Kai had asked him before, ‘What about the mortals?’
His answer at the time was that they were powerless to do anything.
Even so, Yang Kai had come up with a solution in just a few days, causing an enormous sense of admiration to well up in his heart.
Meanwhile, Yang Kai had already arrived at another Universe World’s location via a different Space Beacon. Previously, he had asked Zhu Ge Xing Wei to gather 13 disciples and send them to the 13 other Universe Worlds in this Territory carrying a Space Beacon each, which saved him the time he would have spent on travelling.
This Universe World was the closest to the Profound Abundant World, and it also had a Sect overseeing it with strength similar to Profound Abundant Sect’s. They also had a good relationship with Profound Abundant Sect.
Previously, when Profound Abundant Sect’s Open Heaven Realm Masters were fighting with the Black Ink Clan, Zhu Ge Xing Wei had sent two Elders out to seek help. One of them was Elder Pang, who had gone to the Swallowing Seas Sect. When he saw that Swallowing Seas Sect was besieged by the Black Ink Clan Army from a distance, how could he go and ask for their help? He had no choice but to return empty-handed. The other Elder had come to this Universe World, but they had lost contact with him after that.
After everything Profound Abundant Sect had gone through, Zhu Ge Xing Wei lost his cool and forgot to mention this to Yang Kai.
On the other hand, Profound Abundant Sect’s Elder, who was responsible for bringing the Space Beacon to this World, was quite prudent. He did not rashly approach and instead hid some distance away, concealing his aura and waiting for Yang Kai.
A few days later, Yang Kai appeared beside him, nearly frightening the life out of him.
When this Elder saw that it was Yang Kai though, he finally relaxed and quickly reported everything that had transpired.
A deep furrow appeared on Yang Kai’s brow after hearing the report. He immediately focused his gaze towards the Universe World, and as expected, he saw some Black Ink Clansmen and Black Ink Disciples moving about.
The Sect governing this Universe World had been completely defeated by the Black Ink Clan, and almost all the surviving cultivators had been converted into Black Ink Disciples.
Fortunately, these Black Ink Clansmen were not that strong and were not many in number, just a squad about the same size as the one that had gone to attack the Profound Abundant World. The leader of this Black Ink Clan squad was only a High-Rank Clansman, that was all, not even qualified to own their own Black Ink Nest.
If a Feudal Lord was here, and if he had planted his Black Ink Nest, the entire Universe World would be flooded with Black Ink Strength, at which point it would be impossible to reverse the situation.
Although the current situation was not something to rejoice, it was still salvageable. For Yang Kai, it was as easy as snapping his fingers.
The Profound Abundant Sect Elder standing next to Yang Kai only saw the latter stretch his hand out and grasp towards the Universe World. And when he pulled his hand back, the Profound Abundant Sect Elder saw several dozen strange-looking Black Ink Clansmen appear in front of them.
These Black Ink Clansmen had no idea what just happened. They were suddenly captured and brought out into the void, so they were completely confused.
Immediately after, a fearsome force swept through them from all directions, wiping out these several dozen Black Ink Clansmen in the blink of an eye.
Yang Kai then brought his hands together as a beam of Purifying Light shot down towards the Sect below, enveloping all the Black Ink Disciples and dispelling the Black Ink Strength in their bodies.
After having taken care of the Black Ink Clansmen and Black Ink Disciples, Yang Kai waited for the cultivators in the Sect below to recover before sending a Divine Sense transmission.
A moment later, a Fifth-Order Open Heaven Realm Master, leading a group of Open Heaven Realm Masters, rushed over to greet him.
Yang Kai didn’t waste time chatting with them and directly opened a portal to Swallowing Seas Sect’s Space Beacon, ordering them to head over and meet up with the others.
Seeing that Yang Kai was an Eighth-Order Ancestor rank figure, the Fifth-Order Master didn’t dare to object and simply led his subordinates into the portal.
After the Profound Abundant Sect Elder responsible for bringing the Space Beacon here had also left, Yang Kai began refining the Universe World.
Having done it once before, this second attempt was naturally smoother and he did not even feel resistance from the World’s Will.
This second Universe World gave Yang Kai the feeling that it was actively cooperating.
This only further confirmed his suspicions.
Just like that, Yang Kai travelled from one Universe World to the next. After arriving at each Universe World, he would open a Void Corridor to the Swallowing Seas Sect and order the Open Heaven Realm Masters of the respective Universe Worlds to go on ahead. Without the complication of Open Heaven Realm Masters, Yang Kai was then able to smoothly refine the World Bead.
Not every Universe World had Open Heaven Realm Masters.
