[Sure enough, it's Star Emperor Sect!] Since seeing Qu Chang Feng treat this person so cautiously in the stalactite cave, Yang Kai had faintly guessed that only someone from Star Emperor Sect could make the arrogant and despotic Qu Chang Feng act so restrained in front of him, to the point that even after suffering a loss, he could only pinch his nose and admit defeat, not daring to retaliate.
Dai Yuan seemed to be afraid that Yang Kai didn't know how powerful Star Emperor Sect was, so she said with a serious expression, "On the entire Shadowed Star, the three most powerful forces are Star Emperor Sect, Heaven Battling Union, and Thunder Typhoon Sect, but in reality, every great force knows that the gap between Heaven Battling Union and Thunder Typhoon Sect is not small. I heard that there are over a hundred powerful peak Third-Order Origin Returning Realm cultivator on Star Emperor Mountain, a terrifying number that Heaven Battling Union and Thunder Typhoon Sect cannot compare to. What's more, I heard that they also possess several powerful Origin King Grade artifacts."
"Are they that powerful?" Yang Kai was shocked. A single Sect having over a hundred peak Third-Order Origin Returning Realm masters was truly astonishing.
"En, it's just that their total number is relatively small and they never recruit disciples from the outside, so they aren't very famous."
"Then how long has their inheritance lasted?" Yang Kai frowned.
"I'm not too sure. However, over the past countless years, there have been rumors that some lucky individuals had met some powerful cultivators who had come down from the Star King Mountain and were brought back to cultivate. However, there aren't many of them, only four or five of them." Dai Yuan smiled lightly, "The people on Star Emperor Mountain rarely come out, so although they have many masters, as long as other great forces don't provoke them, they won't bully the weak, but if someone provokes them …"
Yang Kai's eyes narrowed as he noticed Dai Yuan's tender body tremble slightly just now.
His heart clenched as he thought to himself that if someone really dared to provoke such a terrifying existence, their end would definitely be miserable.
Dai Yuan's voice dropped even lower as she continued, "Generally speaking, every ten or twenty to thirty years, Star Emperor Mountain will send one or several young disciples out for life experience. These disciples also don't reveal themselves, keeping a very low profile. I'm afraid that even after they return to Star Emperor Mountain, no one knows their origins. I once read in one of Coloured Glass Sect's ancient books that two thousand years ago, there was a Sect on Shadowed Star that was as famous as Heaven Battling Union and Thunder Typhoon Sect, one called the Ancient Yang Sect. At that time, a young cultivator who had come down from Star Emperor Mountain had accidentally obtained a precious treasure which was discovered by some people from the Ancient Yang Sect. These people had set up an ambush for him, killed him on the spot, and robbed him of his treasure. A month later … the Ancient Yang Sect was uprooted overnight and suffered a tragic extermination! "
Yang Kai's face paled.
Needless to say, it was Star Emperor Sect that destroyed the Ancient Yang Sect. Being able to destroy an existence on par with Heaven Battling Union and Thunder Typhoon Sect overnight, it was easy to imagine how powerful this Star Emperor Sect was.
Dai Yuan, on the other hand, smiled and brushed her hair back behind her ear, "But that was more than two thousand years ago, so whether it's true or false is impossible to say. The Elders of the Sect are also wary of this matter and have never mentioned it, so it's impossible to ask them about it. However, on Shadowed Star, there was a place called Grand Hidden Valley. Within a radius of a thousand kilometres, not even a blade of grass grew. It was completely desolate and filled with dense Yin Qi. It was rumoured that the Ancient Yang Sect used to be located here. In the past, there were many cultivators who went to Grand Hidden Valley in search of opportunities, saying that the Ancient Yang Sect had a hidden cave that contained many precious treasures and a great deal of wealth. Unfortunately, no one ever found it and many of them even died. "
"You've been there?" Yang Kai looked at Dai Yuan with a smile. Although she had used the words' hearsay 'and' rumours' several times, Yang Kai could tell from her tone that she was certain these rumours were true and that she had been to Grand Hidden Valley before.
"Naturally," Dai Yuan nodded lightly. Dai Yuan nodded lightly, "However, I didn't gain anything, only a wisp of Yin Qi lingering around my body. After returning to Coloured Glass Sect, it took me a few days to resolve it. If Junior Brother Yang is interested, you can go take a look, but you must be careful."
"En, if there is a chance, we'll talk about it again." Yang Kai nodded casually, but in his heart, he disagreed. Even if the Ancient Yang Sect really had some kind of hidden cave, two thousand years had already passed, so it should have been discovered long ago. Yang Kai didn't think that such a thing would have been left behind for so long. Rushing over to find it would only be a waste of time and energy, something he wasn't willing to do.
"Haha." Dai Yuan also saw Yang Kai's perfunctory attitude and didn't continue on this topic, simply saying, "In the past, those who came out of Star Emperor Mountain generally wouldn't be discovered, but this time it was different. It just so happened that Liu Yan's Sand Field opened, so before I came in, Honoured Master told me to be careful of any strange cultivator who came out alone, because there was a chance he was a disciple of Star Emperor Sect! To be honest, when I first met Junior Brother Yang, I thought you were from Star Emperor Sect … "
Yang Kai was stunned, not having expected her to have such a misunderstanding, but it wasn't surprising. He was indeed an unfamiliar face to the people of Shadowed Star, and being able to break into the third layer with just a First-Order Saint King cultivation, his methods were definitely extraordinary, so it was inevitable that Dai Yuan would have such a misunderstanding.
Considering all this, Yang Kai's brow rose as he realized why Imperial City Sect's Meng Hong Liang and Extreme Path Sect's Huang Xi Ran seemed to have misunderstood him after he displayed some of his methods. It turned out that they thought he was from Star Emperor Mountain, which was why Meng Hong Liang was so cautious.
Dai Yuan also had such a misunderstanding, but after learning that Yang Kai and Wei Guchang were friends, she immediately denied this conjecture in her heart because people from Star Emperor Sect generally didn't make friends with others.
After arriving here and seeing the indifferent man, Dai Yuan instantly understood that he was a true disciple of Star Emperor Sect.
After talking for a while, the two of them didn't say anything else. They closed their eyes and continued to meditate.
The red sun rose higher and higher until it reached the middle of the sky.
The fruity fragrance floating in the air became stronger and stronger, and the various insights one could obtain from this fragrance naturally became more and more profound, causing every cultivator to feel excited and overjoyed.
Suddenly, the earth seemed to tremble, and immediately after, an earth-shattering energy erupted.
Such a change caused all the cultivator present to pale, and in an instant, all of them awoke from their deep meditation and stared at the mountain valley in front of them in amazement.
There seemed to be a layer of red mist in the mountain valley, and this red mist contained a terrifying power.
The appearance of this red mist was extremely strange. There was no sign of it before, but when the cultivator looked over, it had already filled the mountain valley, and its speed was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, it had covered the entire mountain valley.
Immediately, an astonishing amount of heat spread in all directions, forming a hot wind that blew towards every corner of the Liu Yan Sand Field's third layer.
Everyone had experienced this kind of thing once before, so seeing it again at this moment, the horror in their hearts immediately eased a lot. They knew that although this hot wind looked terrifying, it wouldn't cause any harm to them.
Sure enough, when the hot wind swept past everyone's bodies and spread further away, no one suffered any kind of accident.
However, in the very centre of the mountain valley, another red sun was born and was slowly rising from the bottom of the mountain valley!
This red sun was not big, only about the size of a bamboo hat, so one's Divine Sense could not penetrate it, and if one stared at it for too long, they would immediately feel dizzy.
An even stronger fruity fragrance spread out, and intense heartbeats rang out from the chests of the cultivator.
A second red sun had appeared.
This also meant that the Red Candle Fruit was one step closer to true maturity. The various Sects who had learned the truth about this place from Medicine Pill Sect's Li You Nan couldn't help feeling restless, and a tense and hostile atmosphere quickly spread around the mountain valley. Everyone stared at each other as if they were all irreconcilable enemies and couldn't wait to rush over and kill them all.
Those Sect cultivator who didn't know the truth and didn't know about the wonders that would occur when the Red Candle Fruit ripened were also affected by this atmosphere. While carefully monitoring the movements of others, not willing to let go of any clues, they also sent people to inquire about information from the Sects they were familiar with.
Soon, all kinds of secrets about the Red Candle Fruit spread, allowing every cultivator here to understand the reason behind it, calming the restless atmosphere considerably.
Since the Three Suns Rising Sun phenomenon had appeared, there was no need to rush into action now that only two red suns had appeared. What's more, before it truly matured, the Red Candle Fruit would not appear at all, so even if someone wanted to snatch it, they wouldn't know where to begin and could only give up.
After the appearance of the second red sun, the mountain valley only trembled for a moment before everyone fell silent again and continued to absorb the fruit fragrance, comprehend its mysteries, and integrate them with their cultivations.
Yang Kai was also immersed in this process. He felt that through this enlightenment, his understanding of Saint Qi control seemed to have risen to a whole new level, and a vague idea began to form in his heart. Although he had grasped some traces of it, he was unable to fully integrate them.
This situation was like dozens of cats scratching an itch, causing Yang Kai to become restless and immerse himself in his thoughts. He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity before the Red Candle Fruit ripened to clarify this vague idea. Once he could realize it, his combat power would increase greatly.
Time passed by little by little, and just as everyone was trying to figure out what to do, a roar suddenly rang out from a nearby mountain, "Bastard, you dare secretly arrange a Spirit Array!"
This roar awakened many cultivators who were meditating and comprehending. Looking towards the source of the roar, they saw a man from Heaven Battling Union waving a huge fan angrily. The energy contained within this fan wasn't low, so it was obvious at first glance that it was a good artifact.
