Martial Peak

No one else dared to come to this particular area in the void that Luan Bai Feng had brought Yang Kai to visit.

A lot of shattered Spirit Provinces were scattered around this area. It was apparent that these shattered Spirit Provinces were parts of the destroyed Ore Stars.

Yang Kai looked around and realised in shock that there were cultivators standing on these shattered Spirit Provinces. Without fail, they were all engulfed in dark fog. They were obviously Black Ink Disciples.

It seemed that they were cultivating.

A strange energy fluctuation was felt coming from a particular direction, which prompted Yang Kai to turn his head and have a look.

Luan Bai Feng noticed it as well. She then said with a smile, “What a coincidence. Something is about to happen. Let’s go take a look.”

Without saying anything, Yang Kai followed her.

A moment later, they arrived at a spot that was 30 kilometres away from a shattered Spirit Province. There was a Black Ink Disciple on the shattered Spirit Province who was performing a set of hand seals. Black Ink Strength weltered around his figure.

Yang Kai found the Black Ink Disciple familiar, so he reckoned that the person was Luan Bai Feng’s former subordinate. He had been to Black Territory twice prior to this, so he should have seen him before.

At this moment, the illusory phantom of the Small Universe behind the person was flickering, and his World Force was undulating. It was apparent that he was on the brink of achieving an ascension.

“Is he going to break through?” Yang Kai arched his brow.

Luan Bai Feng nodded, “En. Fan Xiu Qi has been stuck in the Fifth-Order Open Heaven Realm for 2,000 years.”

Fan Xiu Qi was the name of this Black Ink Disciple. Luan Bai Feng was a Sixth-Order Open Heaven Realm Master, so her subordinates were all below the Sixth-Order. She especially regarded Fifth-Order Open Heaven Realm Masters highly. Fan Xiu Qi was one of them and he had been her subordinate for 1,000 years.

He was a ruthless man who was originally from a small Sect. Since he was displeased with the Sect Master for distributing materials unfairly, he decided to kill him and fled from the Sect. As he had nowhere else to go, he eventually arrived at Black Territory and became Luan Bai Feng’s subordinate.

He had been stuck in the Fifth-Order Open Heaven Realm for the past 2,000 years, so it was obvious that his aptitude was ordinary.

Yang Kai had a speculation about what Luan Bai Feng wanted him to see.

“You know, Fan Xiu Qi only managed to break through to the Third Order initially.” Luan Bai Feng looked in that direction with a fervent expression.

There were countless Third-Order Open Heaven Realm Masters in the 3,000 Worlds, making it the starting point for most Open Heaven Realm Masters.

The limits of their own aptitudes, the difficulty of acquiring materials, and their finances made it impossible for most cultivators to have a better choice when ascending to the Open Heaven Realm. Moreover, even ascending to the Third-Order Open Heaven Realm was a dream that a lot of people could never achieve in their lifetimes.

Xiu Qi was just one of those many people. Although he was ordinary, he was the epitome
