Martial Peak

he held his head and trembled lightly.

Even after somehow managing to stabilizing his condition, Yang Kai couldn’t reduce the dull ache he felt in his head.

“Where are we?” Yang Kai opened his eyes and quietly asked, his face distorting from the near unbearable pain.

“The Demon Land’s desert,” Gou Che replied somewhat mechanically before quickly coming to his sense and asking hurriedly, “Brother Yang, are you… dead or alive?”

Yang Kai raised his eyes and glanced over at him tiredly, “What do you think?”

“Haha!” Gou Che laughed raucously, “I knew you wouldn’t die so easily!”

“Who was it that said he couldn’t be saved?” An Ling’er shot him a cold glance.

Gou Che suddenly choked, unable to say anything in response.

“How do you feel?” An Ling’er turned her attention to Yang Kai and asked nervously.

“Terrible,” Yang Kai slowly shook his head, his Soul was currently in a state of turmoil and was somewhat unstable.

“Then you should quickly rest.”

Yang Kai nodded lightly, no longer speaking.
Sitting cross-legged on the ground and trying to steady himself, he sent his Soul Avatar into his Knowledge Sea to more carefully examine it.

Looking around, Yang Kai saw that his entire Knowledge Sea was in a desolate state, the rich burning flames and endless ocean water had all but disappeared, a sign that his Spiritual Energy had been severely overdrawn.

His Knowledge Sea was also somewhat chaotic; at times, great winds would blow, while at others, thunder and lightning rained down, the entire world shaking unsteadily as if it would soon collapse.

The reason for all this was because Yang Kai had forcefully brought the Divine Tree into the Black Book space.

Never had he thought that this one, seemingly simple act would bring him so close to the gates of death.

The things he normally stored into the Black Book space were small, the biggest one not even one percent the size of the Divine Tree, so even if it consumed some of his Spiritual Energy, it had only been a trifling amount.

But this time, Yang Kai’s Spiritual Energy had been completely exhausted.
Bringing the Divine Tree into the Black Book space had nearly caused his very Soul to collapse.

After all, the Divine Tree was very different from anything Yang Kai had stored in the Black Book space before, not only was it massive, it also contained an unimaginable amount of energy.
It was understandable he had to pay such a price.

However, it was worth it!

Being able to take the Divine Tree away, Yang Kai felt that even if he had to pay such a steep price, it would be worth it.
Now he didn’t have to worry about fulfilling his promise with the Divine Tree.

Yang Kai was a man of his word.

His lost Spiritual Energy could be re-cultivated and supplemented by the Six Coloured Soul Warming Lotus, so it wouldn’t take too long for his Spiritual Energy to return to its peak.

Moreover, this time, the Six Coloured Soul Warming Lotus had played a vital role.
If it had not protected Yang Kai’s Soul at the last moment, it was likely he really would be dead right now.

Considering all this, Yang Kai quietly rejoiced.

Withdrawing his Soul Avatar from his Knowledge Sea, Yang Kai next inspected the Black Book space.
Just after arriving though, Yang Kai’s Soul Avatar was embraced by a brilliant golden light.

The Divine Tree was now here, its golden roots and jade green leaves illuminating the once dull Black Book space.

Surrounded by this burning aura, the pain in Yang Kai’s Soul decreased noticeably and was replaced with a warm, comfortable sensation.

In response to Yang Kai’s arrival, the Divine Tree’s branches swayed back and forth, as if it was celebrating, a burst of eager calls emanating from its heart.

Yang Kai smiled as he sent his Soul Avatar into the heart of the Divine Tree, allowing the latter’s Soul to immediately wrap around him.

It was obviously aware that Yang Kai was currently in a very weak state and did not try to drag his Soul Avatar all over the place but instead carefully surrounded and comforted him.

The next moment, a powerful energy poured into Yang Kai’s Soul Avatar, quickly supplementing Yang Kai’s lost Spiritual Energy.

Yang Kai was pleasantly surprised and made no attempt to stop it, allowing the Divine Tree to display its capabilities.

After an hour or so, Yang Kai’s weakness had disappeared and he once again became energetic, his dried up Knowledge Sea reaching a state of saturation.

At the same time, all kinds of dark injuries Yang Kai had sustained were restored.

Yang Kai conversed with the Divine Tree for a while and explained that it might have to stay in this place for a while.
After receiving a positive response, Yang Kai promised to come see it whenever he had time before taking back his consciousness.

Although the Divine Tree was reluctant to part, it didn’t try to stop him.

Opening his eyes again, Yang Kai discovered that the darkness of night was gradually receding, giving way to the morning sun.

Wrinkling his brow for a moment, Yang Kai let out a light sigh as he estimated he would at least need to break through to the Saint Realm if he wanted to take the Divine Tree out from the Black Book space.
Only by reaching the Saint Realm would be able to do with while not harming himself.

However, he was not in a rush.
Right now, he was still stuck in the Demon Land, even if Yang Kai could release the Divine Tree immediately, there was no place for it to settle.

It would be better to find a place for the Divine Tree to stay first, Soaring Heaven Sect’s Serene Resplendent Peak would be a good choice.

Seeing Yang Kai open his eyes, Gou Che and An Ling’er who had been monitoring him all night long finally relaxed.

“Brother, why does it seem like you’ve been completely restored already?” Gou Che asked curiously.
An hour or so ago, Yang Kai was still in a state close to death, and even if his restorative abilities were better than most, this kind of recovery speed was too abnormal.
On top of that, Gou Che didn’t see him take any kind of healing pill or medicine.

It was really inexplicable.
