The most eye-catching figure in this trial was undoubtedly Shen Xingze. Originally ranked last on the Tianjiao Ranking, he bravely climbed all the way to fifth place. This feat was like a bolt from the blue, shocking the entire prehistoric world.
Now, all the powers of the prehistoric world were celebrating with great fanfare. Countless geniuses, leveraging the All-Spirits Sharing Method, had established connections with Zhang Qiming, earning the envy of others. After all, Zhang Qiming had not only obtained the extremely precious Primordial Purple Qi but had also comprehended the path to sainthood, making his attainment almost certain. A connection with a saint would ensure a family's prosperity and eternal honor within the prehistoric immortal realm.
Those forces that failed to establish contact with Zhang Qiming through the All-Spirit Sharing Method also brought precious gifts and went to visit the Heavenly Court. For a time, the Heavenly Court was extremely lively.
This time, a very important figure also came to the Heavenly Palace, bringing back the seriously injured Zhang Qiming. Such an important figure naturally received the personal reception of the Jade Emperor, which shows his respected status.
Yu Kai was already on the brink of death after being removed from the Tianjiao Ranking. Shen Xingze, distraught, hurriedly brought him back to the Shen family. Zhang Qiming's final sword technique was truly extraordinary. Even with Yu Kai possessing a Chaos Divine Body, the horrific chest wound took seven days to heal, and he remained in a coma, refusing to awaken.
During these days, Liu Lingyi stayed by Yu Kai's bedside tirelessly, taking good care of him, running around without complaint. Shen Xingze, Shen Teng and others also came to visit frequently, worried about him.
Yu Kai's residence was heavily guarded, as if facing a formidable enemy, as if danger could strike at any moment. It was said that Zhang Qiming was also seriously injured, and only recovered slightly after taking the Nine Transformations Golden Elixir from the Jade Emperor. However, the first thing he did after waking up was to shout that he wanted to attack Yu Kai, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
Today, Zhang Qiming's reputation is at its peak. When he makes a call, countless forces respond. All the major families send elder-level masters to the Heavenly Court to receive his orders. The force is mighty and powerful.
When the Buddhist Golden Light Bodhisattva learned that his beloved disciple had died, he was immediately furious. He completely disregarded the Buddhist rules and immediately left Lingshan, threatening to seek revenge on Yu Kai. He was so aggressive along the way that he attracted the attention of all parties.
The Shen family, fully aware of the gravity of the situation, feared those forces might send assassins to assassinate Yu Kai, hoping to gain credit in front of Zhang Qiming. After all, the Demon Snail Monkey wasn't currently at the Shen family. Five years ago, an elderly Taoist priest on a donkey suddenly arrived at the Shen family, specifically requesting a visit from the Demon Snail Monkey. Shen Teng, recognizing the elder's distinguished bearing and mysterious background, dared not neglect him and hurriedly summoned the Demon Snail Monkey. Upon entering the guest room, the Demon Snail Monkey keenly sensed that both the man and the donkey were powerful saints, especially the Taoist priest, whose aura rivaled that of the Holy Emperor who had once attacked him.
The Snail Monkey immediately signaled Shen Teng and the others to retreat, and the main door of the hall slowly closed with a creaking sound. No one knew what had happened inside the house. They could only hear the occasional heated arguments and terrifying energy fluctuations. The entire Shen family was suppressed by this terrifying force. Everyone felt as if they were facing a great enemy, but they did not dare to move forward rashly.
Five days later, the Snail Monkey and the old Taoist priest walked out of the hall together. The Snail Monkey told Shen Teng with a serious expression that he would go to the Demon Guard Pass with the old Taoist priest. Shen Teng was shocked, knowing that this matter was unusual, and hurried forward to ask what was going on. The old Taoist priest seemed to see his concerns and said calmly: "Don't worry! This time, the Demon Master Kunpeng, the Taoist priest Lu Ya, and the three great demon lords of the Dark Abyss Demon Alliance will leave together. I will also inform the Heavenly Court. In addition..." The old Taoist priest raised his eyes and looked at the Array Devouring Beast who was still in seclusion, and he hesitated to speak, and then he said nothing. Seeing this, Shen Teng had many doubts in his heart, but he could only suppress them, and watched them leave respectfully with the people of the Shen family.
Time passed slowly, and a month flew by in the blink of an eye. That day, Yu Kai finally opened his eyes, his gaze revealing a hint of fatigue, but more of a sense of determination. Everyone was ecstatic upon hearing the news. Shen Xingze and other senior members of the Shen family rushed to visit, their eyes filled with concern, and they inquired about Yu Kai's health.
Yu Kai also met Academician Fang, who had traveled all the way from Earth. Over a hundred years had passed, and Academician Fang no longer possessed the youthful energy he once possessed. His face was weathered, his figure more hunched. But the joy of reunion brought a new sparkle to his eyes. He tightly grasped Yu Kai's hand and excitedly remarked that it was thanks to the elixir Liu Ling had provided that veteran researchers like them could survive to this day. Upon hearing this, Yu Kai cast a grateful glance at Liu Ling, his eyes filled with warmth.
Later, he learned that Liu Ling, obsessed with alchemy, had not only saved many Earthling researchers but also provided immense support to the Shen family. Her alchemy skills had reached a remarkable level of sophistication. From Academician Fang, Yu Kai learned that Earthlings, now dominated by the Dragon Nation, were experiencing rapid development thanks to the Shen family's generous support. The development of spacecraft and psychic mechas had been a resounding success, allowing Earthlings to freely traverse the universe and explore unknown star regions. However, these devices currently relied primarily on spirit crystals for power and were unable to directly utilize the psychic energy in the air, resulting in a significant consumption of spirit crystals and high costs. Undeterred, the researchers were working tirelessly to overcome this challenge, working day and night in the hope of finding a breakthrough.
Upon hearing this, Yu Kai immediately sketched out his power system and meticulously explained how it would transform various energies for his own benefit, fearing to miss any key points. Furthermore, he sealed a pseudo-divine power and gave it to Academician Fang to take back for research, hoping to contribute to Earth's technological development and help them break through bottlenecks.
Academician Fang had hurriedly embarked on his return journey a few days before the arrival of the Heavenly Court warships. It was reported that the Heavenly Court was coming with great force, led by the Dragon and Phoenix tribes. These two ancient races had completely surrendered to Zhang Qiming and become his capable generals. Their presence was mighty and imposing.
Yu Kai was well aware of everyone's worries, and with the help of the elixir Liu Ling made for him, his injuries had completely healed and he had regained his former vitality.
Liu Ling's rapid progress in alchemy was inseparable from the meticulous guidance of the Qiankun Soul Gathering Furnace. Yu Kai specifically asked Liu Ling to bring out the furnace, intending to personally thank it. The Qiankun Soul Gathering Furnace slowly flew out of Liu Ling's soul sea. Over the years, Liu Ling's cultivation had greatly advanced, reaching the Saint Emperor realm, significantly increasing her strength. After its flight, the furnace slowly circled in the air, circling Yu Kai once before finally landing steadily in front of him, as if examining this former acquaintance.
Upon seeing this, Yu Kai quickly bowed and saluted with the utmost respect: "Yu Kai, thank you very much for your careful guidance of Liu Ling! I will always remember this kindness and am extremely grateful!"
The Qiankun Spirit Gathering Furnace vibrated slightly, and a mellow voice emanated from it, as if containing endless wisdom: "Boy, you are quite good! This Liu Ling is even more of a rare talent!"
Yu Kai was startled and stared at the alchemy furnace in disbelief. He asked, "Senior, are you speaking?"
"Yu Kai, senior is always talking! Otherwise, how could he guide me?" Liu Ling stepped forward, bowed towards the alchemy furnace, and explained, "I can refine so many pills, all thanks to the help of senior. Without senior, I simply cannot refine so many high-quality pills!" Her eyes were full of gratitude.
