Martial Peak

This unintentional discovery shook Yang Kai’s mind greatly. Whether or not the strange mass of energy he found was this continent’s Star Source, Yang Kai couldn’t say for sure, and under Gui Zu’s strict surveillance, he didn’t dare investigate it further right now and simply set the issue aside.

However, that didn’t stop Yang Kai from contemplating this situation. If it really was the Star Source of this continent, it must have been formed in the last thousand five hundred years, or it was capable of concealing itself from Gui Zu’s senses. Otherwise, there was no way Gui Zu would be ignoring it.

Yang Kai didn’t retrieve his thread of Divine Sense, allowing it to remain where it was and receive nourishing from the strange energy mass.

He intended to wait for a chance before sneaking over and examining it further.

Leaving a thread of his Divine Sense there would allow Yang Kai to know the accurate location of this energy mass.

Yang Kai made sure to act quietly so as not to draw too much attention from Gui Zu.

As time passed by, Yang Kai’s comprehension of the Dao of Space continued to increase, his Divine Sense was now able to spread out across half of the continent with ease and even jump across space to any particular point in this range to quietly investigate it.

He then began repeatedly exploring the seven coloured sky, constantly experimenting by sending out countless threads of Divine Sense, losing many of them in the chaotic domain but finally gaining some confidence in his ability to leave this place.

He maintained his composure though and didn’t disclose this fact, instead continuing to explore and test his surroundings, striving for perfection.

Every day, Yang Kai would make a progress report to Gui Zu, but he didn’t explain the entire truth, so Gui Zu knew nothing about this.

One day, when Yang Kai returned from exploring the seven coloured sky, he landed on the flat region of the central mountain and smelled a faint bloody scent in the air.

His face changed slightly and he quickly spread out his Divine Sense, soon discovering that something wasn’t right.

Everyone who was still alive on this continent had gathered together, the atmosphere around them heavy as they were immersed in deep discussion.

“What happened?” Yang Kai flew over and asked.

“Someone died!” Shen Tu said with an ugly expression.

Yang Kai was stunned as he turned to see a cultivator lying on the ground, his vitality gone. It looked as if his body had suddenly been exposed to great pressure which caused it to burst open, making for a terrifying scene.

“What side did he belong to?” Yang Kai asked.

“Ours!” He Zao replied dispiritedly.

He Miao and Yue Xi also wore sad and indignant expressions. Even Lu Gui Chen revealed a look of consternation.

When they first arrived here, there were more than a hundred cultivators from Purple Star and Sword Union, but after spending one year here, there were now less than a dozen of them left alive. There had been a brief reprieve for the last couple of months, but now, someone else had died.
