“Has Sect Master exited retreat yet?” Atop Hundred Flowers Peak, Ye Xi Yun drank tea with a carefree expression while asking Wu Yi.
She had returned to High Heaven Sect three months ago and, not disappointing Yang Kai’s and anyone else’s expectations, Ye Xi Yun had successfully broken through to the Origin King Realm.
She had long been the strongest master on Shadowed Star and had stagnated at the peak of the Origin Returning Realm master for centuries. She had already touched upon the mysteries of Domain long ago but had taken the initiative to stay in High Heaven Sect to protect Yang Yan. If not for this, she would have left with Yang Kai the first time he sailed from Shadowed Star and broken through together with Qian Tong.
Wu Yi had also broken through to the Origin Returning Realm more than a month ago, and during the recent days, she had been accepting some guidance from Ye Xi Yun. Hearing this question, Wu Yi immediately replied, “No, since Sect Master returned two months ago, he has secluded himself in First Heavenly Palace and has not even met with the two Sect Madams.”
“En…” Ye Xi Yun nodded lightly and was just about to inspect Wu Yi’s recent cultivation when she suddenly raised her head and looked towards a certain direction, saying solemnly, “That’s… the direction of First Heavenly Palace?”
“Has something happened to Sect Master?” Wu Yi asked anxiously.
“It doesn’t look like some kind of accident, it’s just that World Energy seems to be gathering towards that direction. Could Sect Master be breaking through?” Even with Ye Xi Yun’s calm temperament, she felt taken aback by her own guess.
How long had it been since Sect Master broke through to the Origin King Realm? A year? Two? How could he have another breakthrough so soon?
“I’ll go and see,” As soon as her voice fell, Ye Xi Yun disappeared.
Outside First Heavenly Palace, a ghostly figure covered in black mist had already appeared. When Ye Xi Yun saw this figure, she stepped forward and quickly greeted, “Senior Brother!”
Gui Zu turned his head and smiled back, “Junior Sister Ye!”
Although the two had only known each other for a few months, they were both Origin Kings and belonged to High Heaven Sect, so addressing each other as Senior Brother and Junior Sister was only natural. After Ye Xi Yun broke through to the Origin King Realm, her title of Great Elder was automatically replaced by that of Supreme Elder, similar to Gui Zu.
In this sense, the two shared the same status.
“Junior Sister Ye also noticed the situation here and came to have a look?”
“En, judging from the movement of the World Energy, it looks like a breakthrough, but I remember hearing from Senior Brother before that Sect Master only reached the Origin King Realm a short time ago. Why is he having another breakthrough so soon? “
“Who knows,” Gui Zu shrugged his shoulders. “I don’t understand either. This boy… cough cough, Sect Master can’t be judged using common sense.”
Ye Xi Yun frowned, “Although Sect Master is indeed a genius that broke through to the Origin King Realm at an extremely young age, if he breaks through too frequently, I’m afraid that his foundation will become unstable.”
She could not help feeling a little worried about Yang Kai.
The Origin King Realm was not like the Great Realms that came before it. It was not unusual for geniuses to make successive breakthroughs in the lower realms, but once reached the Origin King Realm, if a cultivator wanted to make further progress, they needed to do so step by step in a steady fashion.
In the Star Field, many Origin Kings had been stuck at the First-Order their entire lives, unable to spy on greater heights in the Martial Dao.
But Yang Kai’s breakthrough speed was simply too fast, enough so to worry Ye Xi Yun.
Gui Zu frowned as he mumbled, “Sect Master isn’t the type who covets advancement at the expense of strength. Him daring to make a breakthrough at this time should be because he has complete confidence. In any case, it’s useless to worry about it now, this is a matter only Sect Master can handle. We just have to wait and see what the results are.”
“It is as Senior Brother says,” Ye Xi Yun took a deep breath and stared at the gate of First Heavenly Palace.
A large amount of World Energy had gathered around First Heavenly Palace, and although a breakthrough of a Minor Realm would not result in a World Energy baptism, it was still a magnificent scene to behold.
Almost all disciples of High Heaven Sect noticed the anomaly at First Heavenly Palace, and not long after, Yang Kai’s relatives and friends had gathered behind Ye Xi Yun and Gui Zu, all of them staring nervously ahead.
The rich World Energy poured into First Heavenly Palace and soon disappeared, as if it were being swallowed by a bottomless vortex.
This situation lasted for half a day until at a certain moment, Yang Kai’s loud roar rang out from First Heavenly Palace and an aura that seemed to be stronger than Gui Zu’s burst forth.
Everyone’s knees bent at that moment and many were almost crushed to the ground, but fortunately, this aura disappeared as quickly as it appeared.
Gui Zu’s eyes lit up as he whispered, “Freely releasing and taking back one’s strength! Haha, Junior Sister, it seems we were worried for nothing.”
Ye Xi Yun finally showed a relaxed look, but she still did not dare to be careless and said, “We should still wait for Sect Master to come out before we make a final conclusion.”
At that moment, the doors of First Heavenly Palace opened with a bang and Yang Kai’s figure was revealed.
Ye Xi Yun and Gui Zu immediately released their Divine Senses and inspected Yang Kai’s condition.
After a moment, the two exchanged a knowing smile.
The energy fluctuations coming from Yang Kai’s body were stable and there were no signs of his foundation becoming unstable due to a premature breakthrough. Finally confirming this, the two were able to put down their last concerns.
“So many people?” Yang Kai swept his eyes over the sea of familiar faces in front of him in amazement, cupped his fists, and said with a sheepish smile, “Sorry, I accidentally broke through and disturbed everyone.”
Accidentally…
Many people glowered at Yang Kai!
Although most of the cultivators present were Saint Kings, with only a few Origin Realm masters, all of them understood the power of an Origin King and how difficult it was for them to achieve even a minor breakthrough, so Yang Kai’s words just now slightly irksome to them.
“Congratulations, Sect Master,” Gui Zu laughed loudly. “Sect Master’s aptitude is astonishing, something this Elder has only seen once in his life.”
“Sect Master, why did you suddenly break through?” Ye Xi Yun asked curiously.
“There’s no special reason. I was already at the peak of the First-Order and recently comprehended something important, leading to a breakthrough,” Yang Kai replied with a smile.
The main reason for this breakthrough was the stimulation Yang Kai received from bearing witness to Yang Yan and Wu Sheng Feng’s extraordinary strength. Although he had long known that the Origin King Realm was not the peak of the Martial Dao, he had not thought much about it yet. Wu Sheng Feng’s appearance though had given Yang Kai a sense of crisis.
Sitting in meditation for a month, remembering the pressure Wu Sheng Feng put on him, Yang Kai finally had a breakthrough.
Just like what he said to Lin Yu Hao and Yi Zheng Kai in Nine Heavens Holy Land, a cultivator could only advance on their path when they comprehended where they were headed.
After the questions that lingered in his mind were sorted out, his realm had naturally improved.
“Everyone, please return. Everything is alright,” Yang Kai cupped his fists to everyone and said, causing the crowd to slowly disperse.
“Two Elders, please stay a moment, I have something to discuss with you,” Yang Kai called out.
Gui Zu and Ye Xi Yun paused and looked at Yang Kai curiously.
After everyone had left, Ye Xi Yun asked, “I wonder what Sect Master’s orders are?”
“I have something here for you, please take a look,” Yang Kai stretched out his hand and while speaking pointed towards Ye Xi Yun and Gui Zu.
The two of them did not try to dodge or resist, instead just allowing Yang Kai to reach out and touch their heads. The next moment, a package of information was transmitted to their Knowledge Seas, after which Gui Zu and Ye Xi Yun closed their eyes to inspect it.
After a while, Gui Zu’s body shook and his eyes shot open, “The Star Boundary? A realm that exists above the Star Field? That Senior really was the Starry Sky Great Emperor!?”
It was not until this time that Gui Zu understood that Yang Yan was really the rumoured Great Emperor, because the message Yang Kai gave him explained all of this.
On the other hand, Ye Xi Yun wasn’t too shocked; after all, she knew Yang Yan’s identity a long time ago, but regarding the other information, she couldn’t help frowning and saying, “Sect Master, according to the method Milady left behind, if you want to go to the Star Boundary, you must gather all nine Star Emperor Tokens as well as six Third-Order Origin Kings in order to activate the Void Corridor which connects to the Star Gate. Are you… planning to go to the Star Boundary?”
Yang Kai nodded and said, “Indeed!”
“Is it because of the Guardian issue Milady mentioned?” Ye Xi Yun asked.
“That’s not the entire reason,” Yang Kai shook his head with a contemplative expression on his face, “It is just that, as a cultivator, who doesn’t yearn for a higher Martial Dao?”
Ye Xi Yun’s beautiful eyes flashed a profound light as she nodded deeply.
“That’s right,” Yang Kai grinned. “Being satisfied with the status quo will only lead your path to its end. If I remain here, I will be able to reach the Third-Order Origin King Realm sooner or later and stand at the pinnacle of this Star Field, but so what? If another Wu Sheng Feng were to appear, he would be able to trample me under his foot.”
If Yang Kai was such an easily satisfied person, he would have stayed in the Central Capital or Tong Xuan Realm and there would be no High Heaven Sect now.
“But the conditions for opening the Void Corridor are too harsh, can they even be satisfied?” Gui Zu frowned, “Although collecting the nine Star Emperor Tokens won’t be too much of a problem for Sect Master, finding six Third-Order Origin Kings… Where would we even begin to look? I’m not sure there even are six such masters in the entire Star Field, and even if there are, all of them have secluded themselves from the world, disappearing without a trace.”
“Everything depends on our own efforts,” Yang Kai grinned and patted Gui Zu on the shoulder, “Elder, I’m counting you among these six!”
“Me?” Gui Zu was shocked and waved his hands quickly, “This old master knows his own ability best. Although this old master has hope to break through to the Third-Order Origin King Realm in this life, he has no idea when that turning point will arrive.”
“Ten years! Within ten years, Elder must break through to the Third-Order!” Yang Kai said with a solemn expression, “I will have Little Senior Sister fully cooperate with you and supply an unlimited number of Spirit Pills, but Elder still must not advance recklessly.”
“Ten years…” Gui Zu frowned, pondered for a while, before suddenly nodding, “Alright, this old master will enter retreat for the next ten years and he will definitely live up to the Sect Master’s expectations!”
Yang Kai smiled next at Ye Xi Yun and said, “You as well, if you can break through to the Third-Order within ten years, you can follow me to the Star Boundary.”
“I’ll try my best,” Ye Xi Yun smiled bitterly and nodded. Having said that, she also knew that this was absolutely impossible. She had only just broken through to the First-Order Origin King Realm, so how could she reach the Third-Order in just ten years? Only a monster like Yang Kai could achieve such a feat.
“Even if the three of us meet the conditions, where can we find another three?” Gui Zu worried again.
“I’m not in a hurry to find others just yet. I’ll collect the Star Emperor Tokens first,” Yang Kai smiled lightly. “I’ll be leaving Shadowed Star in a few days so I must entrust the Sect to the both of you.”
“Sect Master can rest assured, with Senior Brother and I here, not even blind fools would dare act presumptuous,” Ye Xi Yun smiled lightly.

How do you put spoiler tag? Also my comment was deleted
I don’t think there is one.
Sir Vanquisher, just put a spoiler alert tag next time, as some might not want to know the answers yet .
Many thanks
I guess only a few people will compete today, since most people haven’t read the previous chapter yet. So, 17 chapters this week! Looking forward to it.
Great stuff
I wonder if yang kai forgot that he said he’d go back to the site of yang yan and insect emperors battle to gain some insights from the emperor pressure?!?
Anyway I’m pretty sure his wives have to be a must to go along with him. Just about all of their already ridiculous cultivation speeds surpasses yang kai.
So that’s, excluding yk; gui zi, fo wives, and perhaps that one cat he met at the domain stone mountain or some other random person.
Yang Kai wouldn’t want to put in danger his wifes so he wouldn’t take them with him. If they need 6 people then i know who they are: 1) yang kai 2) ye xi yun 3) gui zi 4) xue yue’s 2nd origin king father 5) shan qing luo’s 2nd origin king mother 6) the 2nd origin king of the guy he made friends after the blood prison OR the father of his friend from sword union who is probably 2nd origin king too since he is the sect master of one of the 3 biggest sects in star field.
About the first paragraph i don’t even remember reading something like that but most likely i did, but we can say that the writer did forget about it like when he forgot that he had already say to the palace master from the shadowed island that he is the star master and a couple of chapters ago he was dumbfound all of sudden “learning” that Yang Kai is the start master.
I don’t think Ye Xi Yun is a possible candidate. And are you talking about Xu Bin Bai the one Yang Kai met after Blood prison? if i remember correctly his Master is already 3rd order OK realm Master, and Wu Dao is his name. and yeah probably the sect master of Sword Union is probably one of them whose surname Gu i think. i forgot haha xD
🤔Sea Temple’s Temple Master Sha Hu was not the one who was ‘dumbfound all of sudden “learning” that Yang Kai is the start master’, it was Sea God Palace’s Palace Master Lie Kong (Chapter 1836). While it does gets mentioned that “the people from Sea Temple” were surprised, it should be taken to mean as only Sha Hu’s followers since Sha Hu is an important enough person to have his shock get explicitly mentioned, especially since his equal Lie Kong’s reaction got stated.
“Ye Xi Yun smiled bitterly and nodded. Having said that, she also knew that this was absolutely impossible”. I’m sad to see this pessimistic vision I still have in my mind that image of her beeing super strong so don’t she see the same thing. it make me so sad and mad at same time. Now thinking about this next 10 years I wish he takes his 4 wifes to go with him also, that would bereally cool, cause if not he will just live them behind and only God knows when he will see them again.
i mean it should take at least 100 years from 1 to 2
If they broke through to 3rd OK realm then they can go but thats impossible within the the time frame. I think Yang Kai will look for 2nd OK realm masters and help them reach 3rd order.
To reach third order in ten years they would have to go out there and reap some benefits. Can’t be done that fast when sitting around in secluded retreat. Yang Kai’s cultivation speed is also mostly due to crazy opportunities – not the least of which would be his ability to devour the souls of other cultivators for their insights… Speaking of which! Would have been nice if Yang Yan would have pulverised the Star Eater right then and there, letting Yang Kai suckle on that sweet sweet souljuice.
True, didn’t even think about that. Author probably plans Yang Kai to go on an adventure where he gains comprehension so he needs to nerf him a bit here.
Thanks for the chapterrrrr!
Purple star here we go, I wonder if Yang Kai will literally try to solo all of Purple Star with his helpers 🤣, that would be pretty insane.
Insane in the best possible sense tho
Wasn’t first order ok relam just skipped by yk. From 3 OR relam he went to ok, fought once then broke through again…
Also didn’t minor relam breakthrough had world energy baptisms… I remember li rong got one when she broke through from saint 2 to 3 in small world where demon god sealed tx relam
It was said that because his soul clone refined the star source it gave him a boost to the peak of First Order Origin King realm. I am also 99% sure that a minor realm breakthrough brings a world energy baptism, really strange that the author changed that for no reason…
Having to absorb masses of world energy with a minor breakthrough and an actual baptism with heavenly lightning striking him are 2 completely different things
Xue Li: “He really has enough capital to act so crazily, this kind of World Energy baptism is comparable to something a Third Order Transcendent Realm Master would face. No wonder he was able to kill Di Xiao.”
– Yang Kai when breaking through from First Order Transcendent Realm to Second Order
I am pretty sure if I try to search more I will be able to find one with heavenly lightning as well. I think that settles it.
I think they said since the beginning of the story that minor realms result in an internal baptism while major realms result in both an internal and external baptism.
Essentially, everytime they breakthrough their Qi swells up and becomes noticeable but they only absorb power from their surroundings (via lightning and stuff) when they breakthrough to a new great realm.
No.Remember he fought the Sect master of I think it was called Purple Star?.That would have been his big realm fight I think
1. YK was at the peak of first order OK because of his embodiment. Then like explained in this chapter, after comprehending something from the “fight” (slap fest) he broke through again and his cultivation is stable.
2. As far as i can remember there has never been a “baptism” mentioned with a break through of a minor realm.
Hmm….if i have to guess, he will probably leave alone. It only said that 6 Origin King is needed to open it, not how many can use it.
I am guessing that he will probably leave with only Gui Zu
or probably Yang will conventiently be seperated with them as they travel, you know that its Yang Kai’s fate he always travels alone when entering new places probably most of the time haha xD
SS level quest accepted.
Good luck trying to break through
Well, waifu 1 and 2 are good candidates as well. Especially for Su Yan, with the joyous unification art pulling her along Yang Kai’s tailcoats. And the other waifu is also already a star cultivator.
He really wants ye to break through 2 minor realms in 10 years when they’ve already said it can take hundreds for each minor
Plot boost
Don’t think so, the author basically said it would be impossible for her, she needs a external boost like refining a star source or something. Perhaps it will not even be necessary and Yang Kai finds a bunch of Third Order Origin Kings and she will not be needed. I think thats more likely since I doubt the author wants to bring her along as Yang Kai said he would if she managed to break through.
I have a hunch about the other who will be picked, there is Yang Kai’s mother in law who might breakthrough already into the third origin king. Wu dao the hidden third origin master. and its just a guess but I think Xue Yue’s father can be a candidate. thats all haha xD
Thats pretty solid, makes sense. You think he will give him the Star Refining Art in order for him to help? Because that was basically a requirement for him to become a Third Order Origin King. Honestly I don’t know if I would do that, the fact that you can even take possession of a star is kind of immoral, but at the same time it needs a protector…
thank you for the chapter. another breakthrough is always welcomed here lol
What happened to the new translator, Ashish? He came in and was the reason why Silavin felt confortable giving us new chapters, but his name has been replaced by the previous translator, PewPewLaserGun. There is some deep mystery here, this is even more intriguing than the GDG!
I think they translate separately. He said that they want to increase the count until it reaches 20/week, with the speed of one plus chapter every week. Means we only see the new translators name when the next extra chapter comes. I think.
But ashish hasn’t translated anything since 1829 if that where the case he would have translated the last chapter
That doesn’t really make sense tho since the chapters are already translated for patreons, unless Ashish is on board for a while now and we only got to know about it as soon as the releases picked up.
Ehh……i dont know than. I don’t usually check who translated the latest chapters.
Thanks for the chapter! I am so confused today with the chapter releases 😅. Daylight savings came in effect for me today.
same
Power Rangers
yeah..finding the legends of star field now
Yay 3 chapters today! Falling Star Sect, Star Boundary, Star Gate, nine Star Emperor Tokens, Martial Dao, World Principles… I like where we’re going! I just hope that going up in cultivation will require comprehension rather than just absorbing energy/material/star sources…
It will probably be similar to a quick and easy way but unstable foundations or the long and hard way for maximum gain.
Star boundary arc is one of the best arcs along with this shadowed star arc. It starts to drag quite alot after that..but every ride has it’s ups and downs…
thanks for the chapter
This emperor will leave his mark here since he was juked out on last chapters drop😪
i have to agree i didn’t except the previous chapter, i was sleeping 😛
Just imagine the look on Ni Guang’s face when Yang Kai shows up three years later with the same cultivation level as him. Lol
Trouble is coming to Purple Star, Sword Union and Heng Luo, they better hand over their emperor tokens without a fuss or they’re gonna learn a lesson 😏
