Martial Peak

only a few hundred members.
Originally, providing for these few disciples and Elders was a simple matter, but now, Yang Kai had brought over ten thousand of his friends and family from Tong Xuan Realm.
An unimaginable amount of resources was being consumed every month, and even though he had accumulated much over the years, High Heaven Sect’s reserves would only last a few years if they weren’t constantly replenished.

However, during the war with Corpse Spirit Religion, all the inland Sects suffered heavy losses and were currently lacking all kinds of resources.

Yang Kai took a fancy to the difference between ocean and inland resources after spending some time on the Limitless Ocean, and if he could successfully establish a trade route between them, not only would it relieve his immediate worries, but he would also no longer need to worry about purchasing cultivation materials in the future, as wealth would simply pour in as time passed.

Although he was now the Star Master of Shadowed Star and could travel anywhere he wanted to at will, even force Sea Temple to submit to him by force, Yang Kai had no intention to do this.

Instead of waging war, he would rather allow the inland and ocean Sects to form a mutually beneficial relationship.

Now standing atop Shadowed Star as its Lord, he needed to consider the good of the entire Cultivation Star.

Hearing his proposal, Pang Zhen’s eyes lit up, but his enthusiasm soon dampened, “Sect Master Yang is not the first person to make such a proposal.
Even some from my Sea Temple have mentioned this before, but because many resources require special preservation and transportation methods, and communication between the inland and ocean Sects is difficult, it has been logistically impossible to set up any significant trade between us except for in a few seaside cities.”

Seeing his demeanour, Yang Kai knew that the people of Sea Temple were interested in the inland materials as well, but establishing trade routes had proven too troublesome.
If this weren’t the case, Yang Kai would not have been able to meddle in this matter, as it would have already been established long ago.

Another difficulty was finding an appropriate trading partner.
With the size and scope of Sea Temple, there were very few inland Sects qualified to stand on equal footing, most great forces could only look up to them.
As for the great forces capable of establishing trade, they held competitive relationships with Sea Temple, making them incompatible as business partners.

Yang Kai, however, just smiled and said, “And if I could solve those troubles?”

Pang Zhen’s expression shook, “Does Sect Master Yang really have a way?”

Yang Kai nodded sincerely; his expression completely serious.

Pang Zhen burst into hearty laughter and said, “If Sect Master Yang can do this, then this matter can be discussed! However, I cannot take responsibility for such a big endeavour and can only refer the matter to the Temple Masters for them to handle.”

“This Yang has long heard of Sea Temple’s reputation and knows that its Temple Masters are wise, so there should be no reason for them to refuse such a good thing,” Yang Kai laughed.

Pang Zhen was instantly put into a great mood and raised his glass again, “Then, a toast to the successful conclusion of this matter.
When the time comes, this Pang will also have to ask Sect Master Yang to take care of me.”

If this matter could be negotiated successfully, then Pang Zhen would undoubtedly gain many benefits.
If all went well, he might even be able to raise his position and status in Sea Temple, so he did not hesitate to become even friendlier with Yang Kai, treating him as the most honoured of guests.

In the middle of the night, after the banquet finally wound down, Pang Zhen arranged a luxurious courtyard for Yang Kai and ensured that a few beautiful young maidens were waiting for him when he got there.

Yang Kai immediately asked these young women to leave, of course, feeling quite awkward and embarrassed as they pouted resentfully while leaving.

Yang Kai thought that because the matter he proposed would be of great benefit to Sea Temple, they would be very enthusiastic to cooperate, but to his surprise, even after three days waiting on Sunrise Island, not even one of Sea Temple’s Temple Masters came to see him.

This reaction was quite confusing to Yang Kai.

It stood to reason that although Sea Temple’s territory was extremely vast, it should have Space Arrays on each of its main islands, so if one of Sea Temple’s Temple Masters wanted to, it should not have taken them more than half a day to arrive on Sunrise Island.

A delay of three days could only indicate that the other party did not believe what he said or was not interested in this matter in the first place.

But Yang Kai wasn’t in a hurry.
Now that the hidden dangers of Corpse Spirit Religion had been thoroughly eliminated, High Heaven Sect did not need him around urgently to make decisions.
With Ye Xi Yun overseeing things, it did not make much difference how long he was gone for.

As such, Yang Kai took this opportunity to savour the changes he had undergone after becoming a Star Master.

As the Lord of Shadowed Star, he could now travel anywhere on it in an instant.
As long as he had enough Spiritual Energy and Saint Qi, he could cross hundreds of thousands or even millions of kilometres in an instant.
However, the further and more frequently he travelled, the larger the burden he would experience, limiting him somewhat.

Nonetheless, crossing a few tens of thousands of kilometres in an instant was a simple matter.

This was just one of the small conveniences Yang Kai received after becoming a Star Master.

The biggest benefit Yang Kai found was his ability to cultivate more rapidly on Shadowed Star.
World Energy here now flowed into his body freely, allowing his cultivation speed to soar to almost a hundred times what it had been before, something impossible for anyone else to achieve.

In battle, he could also mobilize Shadowed Star’s World Energy to effortlessly kill his enemies, a skill he had already tested and verified.

However, there was one thing that concerned Yang Kai quite a bit, and that was a vague, invisible power which seemed to engulf Shadowed Star.
This power had the characteristics of a giant seal, like a series of shackles preventing Shadowed Star’s cultivators from comprehending the mysteries of higher realms

It was precisely because of the existence of this barrier that no Origin King had been born on Shadowed Star for over ten thousand years!
