These were the exact words of Chong Jiu, and Yang Kai remembered them very clearly. At that time, Chong Jiu had been drinking the spirit wine he had taken out from his Small Universe while saying these words.
Although this second method was much more reliable than the first, it was still impractical, because once someone entered this place, his or her respective Universe would be affected by the restrictions, wiping every single memory related to him or her in a very short time.
Once the memories were wiped out, everything was lost. Even if there were some written records left behind, they would just become dust in history over time.
Saying so, Chong Jiu patted Yang Kai’s shoulder, “Little Brother, just stay here. Although there’s no way out of here, it’s still quite lively.”
It was indeed quite lively. Supreme Masters of many Worlds were gathered here, fighting non-stop every day. This kind of thing would be rarely seen in the outside world, but here it was a common occurrence.
At that time, Yang Kai just responded to Chong Jiu in one sentence, “I will be able to get out. My world will never forget me!”
Chong Jiu looked at him like he was looking at an idiot and threw a sentence, “I’ll be waiting for that day!”
Calculating the time, that day should be arriving soon.
While Yang Kai was lost in a daze, the tall and stalwart man had returned at some point, and sent a fearsome sword wave at him, forcing him to dodge.
From nearby, Chong Jiu’s playful laughter rang out, “Yang Kai, don’t die! If you die, I won’t be able to watch the good show!”
He had already arrived a few days ago as promised, wanting to see if Yang Kai could really leave this place. Although he felt that Yang Kai didn’t have much hope, since he made a deal, he naturally had to abide by it.
Unexpectedly, someone came to seek revenge on Yang Kai at this point.
Although it was called ‘seeking revenge’, the truth was that there was no great enmity between them. The sword-wielding man had fought with Yang Kai at least 100 times over the past few thousand years, and neither of them had been able to do anything to the other. But this time, he actually brought a companion, wanting to overwhelm Yang Kai with numbers.
But unbeknownst to them, Chong Jiu happened to be together with Yang Kai. A battle had broken out immediately afterwards. Yang Kai was up against the sword-wielding stalwart man while Chong Jiu dealt with his companion.
At this moment, a towering tree had emerged behind Chong Jiu. It was gently swaying, glittering and shining as if it was cast from gold. One after another, its leaves whizzed through the void, cutting space apart. Its every move carried endless power. Chong Jiu’s opponent was forced to retreat every time he tried to press forward.
After fighting for a while, the Master couldn’t help size up Chong Jiu before asking, “The Dao Tree lineage!?”
Chong Jiu raised his brow, “You’ve seen it?”
The Master continued, “The Dao Tree lineage is famous throughout the Heavens, and I had the honour of experiencing it first-hand once before.”
Saying so, he put away his weapon, “I won’t fight anymore.”
Chong Jiu smiled slightly, “I was thinking the same.”
Battles were common occurrences in the Taboo Realm, but there were many cases where a simple smile and greeting could wipe away all enmity; after all, everyone’s strength was about the same, so unless there was some kind of irreconcilable grudge between them, no one was willing to really fight to the death.
For example, someone like the sword-wielding stalwart man who repeatedly sought trouble with Yang Kai was actually quite rare. He kept attacking Yang Kai mainly because Yang Kai had only been here for a short time, and the sword-wielding man believed that he was an easy target.
Owing to repeated battles, Yang Kai’s strength had grown significantly over the past 8,000 years.
This wasn’t surprising though as Yang Kai did not get the time to consolidate his foundation and perfect it after swallowing and refining Mu’s Space-Time River before he was forced to fight Mo to the death.
It wasn’t until he had entered this place and fought battle after battle that Yang Kai finally digested the benefits he had obtained from Mu’s final gift.
Furthermore, his Small Universe’s foundation was constantly increasing. If he was allowed to go 8,000 years back in time to deal with Mo, he would definitely not end up as miserable as before.
