The days aboard the Starship were quite uneventful.
Time passed by as Yang Kai quietly cultivated in seclusion.
One day though, a disciple came to knock on the door and reported, “Sect Master, we’ve arrived!”
“We’ve arrived?” Yang Kai opened his eyes, a hint of excitement flashing across them, and his figure flickered, leaving his room and entering the hall.
At this time, the Starship was quietly moored a million or so kilometres outside a Cultivation Star.
When the disciples in charge of controlling the Starship saw Yang Kai appear, they all turned to him, waiting for his orders.
Without Yang Kai’s order, they didn’t dare act rashly.
However… was this Cultivation Star really the Sect Master’s homeland? Why did it seem so… desolate?
When the disciples looked at Tong Xuan Realm, they all felt puzzled.
When Yang Kai’s eyes landed on Tong Xuan Realm, however, his expression dimmed slightly.
In the past, his vision had not been profound enough, and he had never witnessed the wonders of the Star Field, so he wasn’t able to judge Tong Xuan Realm accurately. On the contrary, he used to think Tong Xuan Realm was a rich cultivation land.
But now that he had returned from the Star Field after several dozen years of cultivation and exploration, he could see what was wrong with Tong Xuan Realm at a glance.
It was old!
An aged, desolate, and somewhat melancholic air lingered about this star, with a hint of grey in its aura, showing that it was clearly weakening.
Yang Kai’s heart clenched.
He never knew his homeland was in such a state before, or perhaps he just never realized it was a problem until now.
It seemed that on Tong Xuan Realm, the Saint Realm being the peak of the Martial Dao was not without cause.
This was different from Shadowed Star. Shadowed Star’s World Energy was abundant, but cultivators were unable to comprehend the mysteries of the Origin King Realm due to the invisible suppression of its World Principles.
Tong Xuan Realm, on the other hand, didn’t have this kind of World Principles suppression, but… the World Energy here was so thin that it simply couldn’t meet the requirements for cultivators to advance to higher realms.
The Saint Realm was its limit.
At this moment, Yang Kai gained insight into the source of Tong Xuan Realm’s deficiencies.
“Sect Master, shall we…” The disciple to his side turned to him and respectfully asked his opinion.
“Take us down,” Yang Kai waved lightly.
Receiving these orders, the disciples controlling the Starship prepared to descend to the surface.
The hundred-metre-long Starship passed through a grey layer into the atmosphere of Tong Xuan Realm, loudly arriving on this seemingly backwards Cultivation Star.
Yang Kai’s Divine Sense expanded like a tide and instantly enveloped the surrounding hundred-kilometre radius to determine their current position.
The aura here was weak, but it was filled with Demonic Qi.
[The Demon Land?] Yang Kai’s brow rose.
Tong Xuan Realm was divided into three separate domains, the Human Territory, Demon Land and Monster Domain, each ruled over by one of the Three Clans. Among these three regions, the Human Territory had the largest area, occupying almost seventy percent of Tong Xuan Realm, followed by the Demon Land, and then the Monster Domain.
Unexpectedly, upon his return to Tong Xuan Realm, Yang Kai actually came directly to the Demon Land, a somewhat surprising result.
Leisurely, Yang Kai raised his head and looked in a certain direction.
When he sent out his Divine Sense, he had detected several life auras at the edge of his perception, one of which had a Third-Order Saint Realm cultivation and also seemed vaguely familiar, but he couldn’t immediately remember who it was.
Few were capable of possessing a Third-Order Saint Realm cultivation in the Demon Land, the most likely candidate being one of the Demon Generals.
The Demon Race originally had four Demon Generals, all of whom were Third-Order Saints.
The other party had apparently noticed the Starship’s arrival and were hurrying over to investigate.
Thinking it would be best to simply ask this party for information, Yang Kai lightly ordered, “Wait here. I’ll go meet them.”
Saying so, his figure flickered and he arrived outside the Starship to wait for the approaching party’s arrival.
A distance of a hundred kilometres could be crossed in an instant by the current Yang Kai. After having cultivated the Dao of Space for so many years, Yang Kai could ignore space and cross The Void with ease.
However, for a Third-Order Saint Demon General who did not have a suitable flight type artifact, even if they went all out, it still took a cup of tea worth of time to cross this distance.
A short time later, a large mass of black Qi appeared in Yang Kai’s vision. This black Qi was filled with a violent and bloody aura and several figures were hidden inside of it.
The black Qi billowed and soon came to a halt about a thousand metres in front of Yang Kai.
As this black Qi dispersed, the figures inside were finally revealed; a sturdy-looking man with a stern look on his face, holding a spear-like artifact, stood at their fore.
At this moment, this man was staring forward in trepidation, his red eyes filled with shock.
He wasn’t looking at Yang Kai, but rather at the Starship behind Yang Kai. As a Demon General, he naturally knew that there was a similar existence buried deep beneath the Demon Capital.
That was a vessel that the Bone Race had used to arrive on Tong Xuan Realm many millennia ago, a special flight type artifact which seemed to be called a Starship.
Unfortunately, that Starship had been thoroughly destroyed by Great Demon God, leaving only a pile of broken metal behind. Even so, its very existence was a top secret and it had been sealed tens of thousands of metres below the Demon Capital.
Could someone from beyond Tong Xuan Realm have arrived here again? Thinking so, this Demon General was taken aback.
The last time this happened, Great Demon God had sacrificed himself to save Tong Xuan Realm, a fact that the Demon Race took immense pride in.
But now, who would be there to hold up the sky and save Tong Xuan Realm?
Perhaps that Human Race boy from back then might have this ability; after all, when the Bone Race reappeared, Tong Xuan Realm’s Three Clans had united under his leadership to defeat them.
