Saint

Like when a Separation and Reunion Boundary cultivator wants to enter the True Element Boundary, a 3rd Order Transcendent Realm cultivator has to purify their 'True Qi' into 'Saint Qi' before they can enter the Saint Realm. Once a cultivator both completes this process and has a high enough comprehension of the Heavenly Way, they can promote to this realm.

Only in the 3rd Order of this realm are most cultivators’ flesh bodies strong enough to survive in the Starry Sky without a Defensive Artifact.
Pseudo-Great Emperor

A step beyond the normal 3rd Order Emperor Realm, **Pseudo-Great Emperor** is the Star Boundary term for one who has made a breakthrough to the **Peak Emperor Realm**, but has not yet achieved Great Emperor.

Normally, it takes several thousands of years for a high aptitude 3rd Order Emperor to breakthrough to the Pseudo-Great Emperor level. This usually makes them, at least at some point, a famous and/or respected figure among their world's cultivators.

Having reached the limit of most Universe Worlds, these cultivators have almost no way to progress further within them, and can only await the extremely rare opportunity to become a Great Emperor outside of special circumstances. In other words, these cultivators must gain the opportunity to condense a Dao Seal in order to advance further on the path of the Martial Dao.

## Pseudo-Great Emperors

Pseudo-Great Emperors are incomparably more powerful than 3rd Order Emperors, with the latter being virtually helpless before them. On the other hand, Pseudo-Great Emperors are similarly as powerless vs Great Emperors. Therefore, they are considered their own special 1 layer, and are given the name Pseudo-Great Emperors, i.e. false Great Emperors. In Demon Realm, these cultivators are referred to as "**Half-Saints**." Having cultivated to extraordinary heights, Pseudo-Great Emperors have a high level of control over their respective Principles.

### Star Boundary and Demon Realm

Before the Demon War in Star Boundary, Pseudo-Great Emperors were rarely ever seen or heard from outside of some extremely famous individuals, such as Li Wu Yi of Spirit Beast Island. However, most cultivators under the Emperor Realm, and even many within, had never even heard of the Pseudo-Great Emperor level. This was due to the fact that these extraordinarily powerful cultivators were mostly unconcerned with worldly affairs, and spent most of their time outside of the public eye in preparation for the Heaven-defying opportunity to seize a Great Emperor spot. For this reason, 3rd Order Emperor Realm cultivators, not Pseudo-Great Emperors, were popularly and overall seen as the most influential and powerful figures under Great Emperor throughout Star Boundary.

On the other hand, in Demon Realm, Half-Saints directly and openly served under their respective Demon Saints (Great Emperors), and often even ruled over their own entire continents. Likewise, they were practically treated as royalty.

## Quote

"*...In this world, there is a type of person who is stronger than a 3rd Order Emperor, but weaker than a Great Emperor. They have access to the highest authorities, are extremely powerful, and can even be said to be a half-step from Great Emperor. This kind of person is called a Pseudo-Emperor, or Pseudo-Great Emperor. Among the Human Race, unless they are facing a Great Emperor, they can almost be said to be an invincible existence.*"

Loyalty List

Forged from the Ancient Divine Spirit Xiezhi, the Loyalty List is a powerful Secret Treasure that forces those who sign it to be loyal to its owner under the threat of death. In the past, it was used by an Open Heaven Stage cultivator known as the Loyalty Demon, who used the list to wreak havoc in the 3,000 Worlds. He was eventually tracked down and killed by members of the 36 Cave Heavens and 72 Paradises. However, his Small Universe remained behind, and the Loyalty List eventually ended up in the hands of Chen Tian Fei. Chen Tian Fei would then give the Loyalty List to Yang Kai, who would use it wisely in developing Void Land/High Heaven Palace into extremely powerful influences.

## Listed Members

These are the Members Yang Kai kept on his Loyalty List. Eventually, Yang Kai ended up freeing all the members of the list. Because they were treated so well as members of the Sects, despite technically being slaves, these former members all decided to continue serving under Yang Kai as part of Void Land/High Heaven Palace.

* Chen Tian Fei
* Yun Xing Hua
* Hei He
* Mao Zhe
* Geng Qing
* Zhou Ya
* Grey Bones
* Xin Peng
* Luan Bai Feng

## Abilities

Once a cultivators name is signed on the list along with their aura, they must obey the owner under the threat of death. What's more, if the owner of the List dies, all the slaves on the Loyalty List will die as well, effectively ensuring that they value the life of the owner. The Loyalty List cannot be refined, which is both a helpful quality and a hidden danger. This is because whoever holds the List is considered its owner.

Luo Lan

Luo Lan is a 1st Order Origin King Realm Elder of Sword Union, and the overseer of Gu Jian Xin’s Azure Tree Star. She is the one who draws Yang Kai, who has extremely useful attainments on Space Force, into attending the opening of the Severed World.

## History

### Azure Tree Star

As the "Star Master", as in Manager, of Azure Tree Star, the 1st Order Origin King Realm Luo Lan looked after the Cultivation Star in the absence of Sword Union's Young Master, Gu Jian Xin. Luo Lan would first meet Yang Kai after the latter unexpectedly arrived on Azure Tree Star alongside Gu Jian Xin. After learning of the extraordinary strength of the 3rd Order Origin Returning Realm Yang Kai, which allowed him to recently slay a 1st Order Origin King no weaker than her, Luo Lan would be even more excited to learn that Yang Kai is skilled in Space Force. Luo Lan and Gu Jian Xin both agree to do their best to try and win over Yang Kai.

After settling Yang Kai down with his own Palace on the Double Shark Island of Azure Tree Star, Luo Lan comes to Yang Kai with news of an opportunity to acquire the many Space Spirit Crystals he is seeking. Informing Yang Kai of the Severed World, Luo Lan admits that she seeks to make use of his strength in traversing its dangerous Void Crack-filled environment. Luo Lan is ecstatic when Yang Kai eventually agrees to come along.

### The Severed World

However, upon arriving outside of the Severed World, Luo Lan is shocked when Yang Kai attracts the attention the 3rd Order Origin Returning Realm 3rd Young Master of the Heng Luo Chamber of Commerce, Xue Yue. Due to Xue Yue’s insistence, Luo Lan would travel alongside her guardian, the 2nd Order Origin King Ni Guang, as Young Master and Yang Kai seemed to be on somewhat intimate terms.

After escaping from a mysterious illusion, Luo Lan and Ni Guang would end up separated from Yang Kai and Xue Yue respectively due to an encounter with the nefarious Elders of the notorious criminal organizations, Abandoned Lair and Galaxy Ridge.

Later, Luo Lan would again encounter Yang Kai in the deeper portions of the Severed World. During this time, Yang Kai gives Luo Lan a Space Force mark that allows her to navigate the various and dangerous Void Cracks that populate the Small World, allowing her to reap huge benefits in its Medicine Valley. Later, after learning that Yang Kai fled from a closing Severed World with the Immortal Tree in hand, Luo Lan, realizing her limits, decides to safely return to Azure Tree Star.

Pei Wen Xuan

## Personality

Pei Wen Xuan is an extremely arrogant and proud member of Myriad Demons Heaven. As typical of their disciples, he looks down on all others.

## Background

Belonging to one of the stronger Cave Heavens, Pei Wen Xuan was a very talented Core Disciple. He was able to straight promote to the 6th Rank Open Heaven Realm. However, knowing deep down that his strength was inferior to Yang Kai, Pei Wen Xuan did not hesitate in resorting to underhanded means in order to oppose him.

## History

### One-Sided Rivalry

Pei Wen Xuan immediately incited enmity with Yang Kai after meeting the latter in the Blood Monster Cave Heaven. After escaping Blood Monster Cave Heaven and the Black Crow Divine Monarch with his life, Pei Wen Xuan would again come across Yang Kai during the Dao Theory Assembly of Yin-Yang Heaven. On Prison Star, Pei Wen Xuan would end up being caught by criminals after plotting to steal Yang Kai's lead in the conference.

### Zuo Quan Hui's War

After surviving this ordeal with Yin Xin Zhao, Pei Wen Xuan and the latter would join the criminals who caught them and Zuo Quan Hui in the war against Yang Kai's Void Land. This would prove to be his final mistake, as Yang Kai, after cutting off a subsequently horrified Pei Wen Xuan's arm, lets Wu Kuang have him. Pei Wen Xuan then suffers a horrifying death to Heaven Devouring Battle Law.

Manhua

Eventually, He would be rescued from the fetters of his Blood Dao Restriction due to the actions of Yang Kai. After being freed, he would follow Mo Mei in becoming an Elder of Void Land. Having straight promoted to the 5th Rank Open Heaven Realm along with the other former Elders of Abundance City, Pang Duo significantly adds to the capital and prestige of Void Land.
Mountains and Rivers Bell

The **Mountains and Rivers Bell** was a legendary Ancient Exotic Artifact that originated from the Ancient Wild Lands. Like the Ancient Wild Lands, the Bell carried a mysterious Wild Qi that had a tremendous suppressive effect that was feared even by Great Emperors. It came to fame after being tamed by Yuan Ding, a 3rd Order Emperor Realm cultivator at the time, who was said to have used it to become a Great Emperor. Yang Kai later tames and acquires it during his time in Shattered Star Sea. It then serves as one of his most powerful and useful Artifacts during his time in Star Boundary.

## Past

Legend says that the Mountains and Rivers Bell laid in the Ancient Wild Lands, where no one, including the Ancient Land’s Divine Spirits, was able to master it. Tens of thousands of years before Yang Kai entered Star Boundary, a 3rd Order Emperor Realm cultivator by the name of Yuan Ding managed to survive ringing the bell over 80 times, causing it to accept him as its master. He would later go on to become the Yuan Ding Great Emperor. When the Great Emperors collaborated to hunt down the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor in what would become Shattered Star Sea, the Yuan Ding Great Emperor is said to have been among the most feared opponents of Wu Kuang's due to the Mountains and Rivers Bell.

After Wu Kuang killed the Martial Flame Great Emperor in pursuit of his Phoenix True Fire, the Yuan Ding Great Emperor was forced to use the Mountains and Rivers Bell to both suppress the fire and prevent Wu Kuang from acquiring it. After the death of Yuan Ding at the hands of the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor, the Bell remained in Shattered Star Sea for 30,000+ years while completely suppressing the Phoenix True Fire. This further demonstrated the awesome suppressive power of the Bell.

## Abilities

Within Star Boundary, the Mountains and Rivers Bell was a peak existence. In addition to its incredible suppressive effects, a ring from the bell caused tremendous damage directly to the Divine Soul. A single ring of the Bell could instantly shatter the Divine Soul of a 3rd Order Dao Source Realm cultivator, and even Pseudo-Great Emperors looked at it with fear. In the hands of a Great Emperor, this Bell can make one a near invincible existence if they are allowed to use it.

## Destruction

Unfortunately, the Mountains and Rivers Bell is destroyed during Yang Kai’s early days in the Outer Universe by the might of a dying Golden Crow Divine Spirit's True Fire.

He would then force them to work as Workers in his Fire Spirit Land. Duan Hai is eventually killed when Yang Kai helps Xu Huang fulfill a personal vendetta against the Sect for mutinying against him in the past.

Duan Hai appears as a smiling white haired old man with a slightly overweight appearance.

Qi Tian Che

The Great Elder of Star Emperor Mountain, Qi Tian Che was a powerful and ambitious 3rd Order Origin Returning Realm master. Believing there was no chance of the Starry Sky Great Emperor actually returning, Qi Tian Che would seek to use Star Emperor Mountain's enormous background to rule over as much of the Star Field as possible. After leading a secret mutiny against Sect Master Ye Xi Yun, Qi Tian Che would silently build up strength on Star Emperor Mountain until he discovered that High Heaven Sect was in possession of an Origin King Grade Starship.

Seeing an opportunity to leave Shadowed Star and promote to the Origin King Realm, Qi Tian Che would first press-gang Heaven Battling Union and Thunder Typhoon Sect into capturing High Heaven Sect's Sect Master, Yang Kai. When Qi Tian Che is finally confronted by Ye Xi Yun, Yang Kai, and some other 3rd Order Origin Returning Realm members of Star Emperor Mountain loyal to the latter group, he would shockingly ignore everyone else to capture Yang Kai into his Emperor Artifact.

Revealing that he is extremely interested in learning about Space Force from Yang Kai, Qi Tian Che is assured that the 1st Order Origin Returning Realm Yang Kai cannot possibly challenge him within the Sealed World Bead. When Yang Kai challenges him to a contest of strength, an arrogant Qi Tian Che gladly obliges. However, by the time Qi Tian Che realizes this approach is a mistake, it is too late. A brutally beaten Qi Tian Che tries to convince Yang Kai to spare his life by claiming it took him a great amount of years to refine the Sealed World Bead. To Qi Tian Che's shock and horror, Yang Kai refuses to bargain with him, decisively bursting his head apart with a forceful stomp.
Unyielding Golden Skeleton

The Unyielding Golden Skeleton was the initial part of the legacy left behind by the Great Demon God of Tong Xuan Realm in his Black Book. The Golden Skeleton belonged to Great Demon God’s own body, and carries his will. Once it was dominated by the mental fortitude of a worthy successor in Yang Kai, it integrated itself into his body, fixed his meridian network, and miraculously allowed him to start on the path of cultivation. The skeleton greatly augmented his physique and supplemented Yang Kai’s own unyielding qualities. It contained and stored a strong Yin Qi and allowed Yang Kai to practice the Demon Marks technique. It also had the effect of slowly turning his blood golden with amazing vitality, until, through some chances, it finally became like that of Tong Xuan's Great Demon God for a time.

## Replaced

After arriving in Star Boundary, Yang Kai would start replacing this skeleton and its Golden Blood through the development of his Ancestral Dragon Source, until he one day completely exchanged both his blood and bones for that of a true Dragon on Ink Battlefield. As his Human Race body and bloodlines became more like that of a Divine Spirit, his power and durability became extremely more powerful than what the Golden Skeleton allowed him to achieve. His Golden Blood would remain the same color as it became Golden Dragon Blood.

Sword Pavilion

Sword Pavilion was the strongest of the 3 influences that governed the Star City that was swallowed into Great Ruins Boundary when Yang Kai and Yue He visited it.

## History

They would first come into conflict with Yang Kai when the latter acquired the Yuan Magnetic Divine Light that appeared in Great Ruins Boundary, where they subsequently ate a huge loss in large part due to his actions. Infuriated, Sword Union would make an alliance with the also disgraced Thunder Light and make a stance to attack the Star City fragment ran by Scarlet Star, which Yang Kai represented as its 6th Manager. Sword Union would also take Little Red, Guo Zi Yan, and the rest of his men captive. After suffering subsequent massive losses to Yang Kai single-handedly, the headquarters of Sword Pavilion would meet a gruesome end when a Heavenly Moon Demon Spider Divine Spirit wipes out their entire remaining population, with the exception of Lu Xue.

## Notable Members/Fates

### Leaders:

* **Pavilion Master**(6th Rank Open Heaven Realm) - A majestic looking individual, he was said to have originally come from a very powerful background before founding Sword Pavilion. He was killed in the Heavenly Moon Demon Spider attack.
* Zhong Fan (5th Rank Open Heaven Realm) - Small Universe destroyed by Yang Kai during the total defeat of alliance with Thunder Light. Died shortly after due to a wasted cultivation.
* Lu Xue (4th Rank Open Heaven Realm) - only remaining survivor due to sheer luck of being a hostage to Yang Kai, who originally kept her alive just to find and eliminate Sword Pavilion's remaining altar.
* Luo Qing Yun (4th Rank Open Heaven Realm) - died to Yang Kai's Yuan Magnetic Divine Bottle Gourd during the total defeat of the alliance with Thunder Light.
Qian Hao

Once an Elder of the Ice Sect, Qian Hao would be one of the few members to survive its invasion and destruction by the reawakened Bone Race. After being separated from his sister, Qian Yue, in the Starry Sky, Qian Hao would end up on Scarlet Wave Star with Qing Ya and Su Yan.

Unable to join the all-female Sect of Ice Heart Valley, Qian Hao would pay respects to join the more minor and nearby Illusion Soul Sect. When Yang Kai comes to Scarlet Wave Star and eventually saves it from its oppression by the Brilliant Flame Sect, Qian Hao would be retrieved from the Illusion Soul Sect and reunited with Qian Yue. He would eventually join High Heaven Sect on Shadowed Star, before later following the 1st Order Emperor Realm Yang Kai back to High Heaven Palace in Star Boundary.
Luo Sha Sect

Luo Sha Sect, also known as **Raksasha Sect**, was an all-female Sect based in the Southern Territory of Star Boundary. It had about 1,000 disciples with a 1st Order Emperor as its Sect Master.

## Known Members

### Disciple

* Yu Zhuo
* Qin Pei
* Ran Yi Ruo
* Yu Ke Ran

## History

### Yu Zhuo

During the Southern Territory Martial Gathering held in Orthodoxy Temple, Yang Kai gave a helping grace to one of Luo Sha Sect's disciples, Yu Zhuo. Correspondingly, the latter subsequently developed some feelings toward Yang Kai, as seen when she bought a new set of clothes as a thank you gift for him. Shortly thereafter, she would also go out of her way numerous times to seek out some seeds after learning that Yang Kai was looking for them.

After a few meetings, Yang Kai grew uncomfortable with her developing feelings and the inappropriateness of her visiting him so often. Eventually, he would lie that the seeds were meant for his wife as a means to indirectly reject her. This news shocked Yu Zhou, but she still came back to find Yang Kai — probably to deliver more seeds. However, much to her disappointment, Yang Kai staunchly avoided her.

When Yang Kai saw Yu Zhou again during the Demon Spirit ambush of Orthodoxy Temple, she was a lifeless corpse.

### High-Ranking Guest Elder

This initially filled Yang Kai with both rage and a guilty conscience due to both the way she looked back when he avoided her and his inability to save her. After the Demon Spirits were eradicated, Yang Kai was greeted by other disciples of Luo Sha Sect, who handed him even more seeds. He would learn from them that Yu Zhou had previously asked for their help in finding more seeds for him.

After Yang Kai found out that Luo Sha Sect's Sect Master, Yu Luo Cha, also fell during the Demon Spirit Incident, he decided to become their High-Ranking Guest Elder, knowing that his name and power would shelter the Sect.

However, during his short stay in Luo Sha Sect, Yang Kai would wander into the Sect's Restricted Zone. Here, he would find and rescue Sheng Yu Zhu, who was stranded in a Void Crevice for over 30,000 years, and upon who's SOS Techniques the Luo Sha Sect was founded. Although the Sect was not intentionally or directly founded by Sheng Yu Zhu, a powerful Pseudo-Great Emperor, she would take responsibility for the Sect. Having such a powerhouse serve as its Founder/Martial Ancestor, Luo Sha Sect no longer had any need of Yang Kai's name for protection.

### Demon War

Luo Sha Sect’s disciples are given asylum in High Heaven Palace during the later stages of the Demon War of Star Boundary.

Soul Devouring Insects

The **Soul Devouring Insects** are a unique type of insect that feed exclusively on the Divine Soul. Ranked 11th on the Insect Emperor’s Exotic Insect Heaven List, these insects initially seemed to only be lethal to cultivators under the Transcendent Realm. However, Yang Kai would find from the Insect Emperor's Exotic Insect Record that using various methods, including his Soul Warming Lotus, the Divine Ascension Mirror World, special seeds, and the Insect Emperor’s bracelet, these insects could be made incredibly more powerful to the point that even some Emperor Realm Divine Souls could be killed by them if given enough time.

## Strengths/Weaknesses

Soul Devouring Insects are capable of eating anything related to Divine Soul and Spiritual Energy. However, they are incredibly sensitive to fire attacks. Those with Conflagrated Knowledge Seas are particularly adept at killing and handling these insects.

## History

Yang Kai initially uses his Conflagrated Knowledge Sea, along with his Soul Warming Lotus, to control and strengthen a group of Soul Devouring Insects, making them far more powerful than one would normally encounter. These insects slowly grow in strength during his travels in large part due to the Soul Warming Lotus until he comes across the Divine Ascension Mirror World. This place proves to be a paradise for the Soul Devouring Insects, and greatly increased their strength to the point that Yang Kai’s Conflagrated Knowledge Sea no longer proves effective in controlling them. With the help of both the Mirror World’s Will and its Great Emperor, Tian Yan, Yang Kai then collects the Mirror World’s native Soul Devouring Insects to add to his colony.

Afterward, Yang Kai has to quickly make use of the Insect Emperor’s Insect Enslavement Bracelet in order to safely control the Soul Devouring Insects. It is here that he later learns even more ways to strengthen them. These greatly strengthened Soul Devouring Insects go on to help Yang Kai to defeat a Netherworld Sect ambush in the Ancient Wild Lands by making all the Dao Source Realm martial artists absolutely useless en route to their deaths. Later, they also help Ice Heart Valley to keep casualties to a minimum by slaughtering a large bulk of Seeking Passion Sect’s 100,000 man army during the war between these Sects. Eventually, however, the Soul Devouring Insects play a more limited role against Yang Kai’s enemies as they move to the Pseudo-Great Emperor-level and above.

Ni Guang

* Manhua 1
* Manhua 2

Ni Guang was a 2nd Order Origin King Realm member of the Heng Luo Chamber of Commerce, and one of President Ai Ou's most trusted subordinates. Ni Guang was responsible for guarding 3rd Young Master Xue Yue's visit to the Severed World. Though this trip was even far more dangerous and eventful than Ni Guang originally anticipated, he eventually managed to safely return Xue Yue to Water Moon Star.
The Severed World

Also known as **Lost Earth**, the Severed World is said to have been part of a higher world at some point, and is a special Small World that was at least accessible to the Heng Luo Star Field. Carrying unique World Principles and an environment more suitable for the practice of both Origin Returning and Origin King Realm martial artists, the Severed World is also the home of incredible treasures and opportunities that surpass the means of any Star Field, leading many martial artists that were aware of its existence to infer that there was both a higher world than the Star Field and a higher realm above Origin King.

However, with these many opportunities comes extraordinary dangers, as the Severed World is not only filled with innumerable violent and extremely dangerous Void Cracks, Shocking Void Beasts, and other Antiquity Monster Beasts with Variant Divine Spirit Bloodlines, but it is also home to a seemingly impossibly powerful **Seven Colored Radiant Peacock** Divine Bird, whose Seven Colored Radiant Divine Light is capable of instantly vaporizing even 3rd Order Origin King Realm powerhouses.

Though the Severed World has stronger World Principles and allows for significantly better practice than a Star Field, it still does not seem to readily allow for Star Field cultivators to practice past the Origin King Realm.

## Seven Colored Radiant Peacock

### Immortal Tree

The Severed World was once home to the legendary Immortal Tree, which was guarded by a seemingly invincible Seven Colored Divine Peacock. Yang Kai, with the help of Xiao Xiao and Embodiment, managed to acquire the Immortal Tree from the nest of the Peacock while it was away during his time in the Severed World. Using his extraordinary skill in Space Force, Yang Kai then managed to escape the pursuit of the infuriated Divine Bird back into the Heng Luo Star Field. Here, Yang Kai would further manage to miraculously evade the Divine Bird long enough for it to be rejected back to the Severed World by the Star Field's World Principles, which would not accommodate for an existence so powerful.

## Trivia

* Shortly before refining the Immortal Tree during the Demon War, Yang Kai briefly thinks to himself that he still can't see himself resisting the Seven Colored Radiant Peacock from the viewpoint of a Great Emperor.

Xiang Yong

## Appearance

Xiang Yong is a large bear-like man said to be around 2 zhang tall.

Long Tian Shang was the Supreme Elder of the Heng Luo Chamber of Commerce.

## History

### Alchemy Competition

As the 3rd Order Origin King Realm Supreme Elder of the Heng Luo Chamber of Commerce, Long Tian Shang used his qualifications to oversee the Alchemy Competition between Yang Kai and Zuo De. He would also ensure that both Alchemist kept the respective promises they laid out before the competition began.

### Starlight Corridor

Long Tian Shang was one of the six 3rd Order Origin Kings that helped Yang Kai to open the pathway to the Starlight Corridor leading to Star Boundary. Ultimately, he decided to stay and overlook the Heng Luo Chamber of Commerce instead of pursuing a higher Martial Dao with the other Masters.

### Death

Unfortunately, Long Tian Shang was unable to completely defend Water Moon Star from the invading Netherworld Sect, and is even turned into a Corpse Puppet by one of their Masters after he is killed. However, the 1st Order Emperor Realm Yang Kai eventually frees him from this horrible fate.

Soul Warming Lotus

Also known as the **Mild Soul Lotus**, this is Yang Kai's greatest and most Heaven-defying treasure. It is a one of a kind Heavenly Treasure that exists as one of the legendary **Two Supreme Lotuses**, with the other being the **Flawless Purifying Lotus**. This is a priceless treasure of the Divine Soul, which it constantly nourishes and protects. The Soul Warming Lotus has allowed Yang Kai to constantly be more powerful in terms of the Divine Soul than is normally possible for cultivators of his respective realm. Initially 5 colors, Yang Kai advances and grows the Lotus until it reaches its rumored full 7 colors.

## Abilities

The known abilities of the Soul Warming Lotus are as follows:

* Constantly nurtures and strengthens the Divine Soul
* Can, over time, heal even the most egregious Divine Soul injuries
* Can protect the Divine Soul from all impurities and even save its user from Becoming Devil(Devil Path)
* Can strongly resist the influence of even the most powerful Divine Soul upon a cultivator
* Can be used to tame, store, and strengthen Soul Devouring Insects
* Can allow one to absorb extremely massive amounts of energy that a cultivator otherwise would be unable to withstand
* Can keep the Divine Soul alive when the flesh body is destroyed
* Can be used to perform extraordinarily powerful Divine Soul attacks
* Can absorb the Divine Soul of enemies to strengthen the possessor's Divine Soul

## Flawless Purifying Lotus

Another Heaven-defying treasure, the Flawless Purifying Lotus purifies, preserves, and strengthens the flesh body instead of the Divine Soul. While it doesn't make the flesh body invincible, much like the Soul Warming Lotus has no such effect on the Divine Soul, the Flawless Purifying Lotus can heal and purify the flesh body as long as it is not completely destroyed. In the past, this treasure came into the hands of Wu Kuang, who would take advantage of its effects to use the mighty **Heaven Devouring Battle Law**. Wu Kuang, as the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor, would also be known along with the Flowing Time Great Emperor as the first cultivator in Star Boundary's history when Yang Kai arrived there.

## Trivia

* In chapter 1824, a projection of Wu Sheng Feng mentions the existence of an additional final form of the Soul Warming Lotus, called the **Supreme Soul Warming Lotus**. This form is then brought up again by Yang Kai in chapter 1928. However, after this point, this form is never mentioned or alluded to again for the remainder of the novel, and the 7 Colored Soul Warming Lotus is treated as its final form.

Wu Sheng Feng

A member of the Falling Star Sect of Star Boundary, Wu Sheng Feng is looking to illegally refine some Star Sources within the lower Star Fields when one of his Soul Wisps runs into Yang Kai on Tong Xuan Realm. Seeing that Yang Kai has a Star Field Source in addition to the legendary Soul Warming Lotus, Wu Sheng Feng immediately targets his Master-less Star Field. Later arriving on Shadowed Star, Wu Sheng Feng is unopposed by everyone, and appears to have the power to easily destroy Shadowed Star. When Yang Kai shows up, he finds that even as the 1st Order Origin King Realm Star Master of Shadowed Star, he is unable to oppose Wu Sheng Feng. However, Wu Sheng Feng's moment of triumph is short-lived, as the Pseudo-Great Emperor Star Envoy Yang Yan arrives and easily subdues him. He is then forced to work as a prisoner/slave back in Star Boundary.

Shi Tian He

* Manhua
* Manhua (Disguised)

Shi Tian He is the former Ice Heart Valley disciple who comes across Yang Kai and Ji Yao as “Madame Dong” of Serenity City’s Dong Family in the Northern Territory of Star Boundary.

## Appearance

Though original disguised as an old woman, Shi Tian He is later revealed to have an exceptionally beautiful and youthful appearance consistent with a member of Ice Heart Valley.

## Background

As a former Core Disciple of Valley Master An Ruo Yun, Shi Tian He has an extraordinary background and talent.

## Past

As stated earlier, Shi Tian He was formerly a Core Disciple of Ice Heart Valley’s Valley Master at the time, An Ruo Yun. However, she was eventually expelled from the Sect due to her breaking the Sect rule of falling in love with a man who would become the Patriarch of the Dong Family of Serenity City, Dong Hai. This gave her the new identity of Madame Dong.

## History

### Madame Dong

After Ice Heart Valley becomes ostracized within Northern Territory for falling leeward in their war against the Seeking Passion Sect, Shi Tian He becomes targeted by the Dong Family Patriarch due to his fear of his family connections to the Sect being revealed in the former’s attempt to aid her former Sect. Therefore, Shi Tian He is forced to try and secretly escape from Serenity City and the Dong Family while disguised as an old woman. However, she is eventually caught near the city gates after her disguise fails to fool a passing Yang Kai and Ji Yao, drawing attention to herself.

However, after being cruelly exiled from the Dong Family by its Patriarch, Dong Hai, Shi Tian He impressively takes on all of the 3rd Order Dao Source Realm Dong Family Elders using several techniques that reveal her identity as an Ice Heart Valley disciple to Ji Yao. Likewise, Ji Yao steps in and, after effortlessly killing all of the Dong Family Elders before sparing Dong Hai due to the pleading of Shi Tian He, decides to take her back to Ice Heart Valley to accept judgment from An Ruo Yun. Along the way to Ice Heart Valley, Shi Tian He proceeds to explain Ice Heart Valley’s dire situation in their war with Seeking Passion Sect to Yang Kai and Ji Yao.

### Ice Heart Valley

After witnessing Yang Kai and Ji Yao kill off the top powerhouses of the pursuing Mysterious Thunder Pavilion, who support Seeking Passion Sect, in addition to the City Master of Serenity City, who reveals that he killed Dong Hai, Shi Tian He returns to Ice Heart Valley with the former two. Here, she is fortunately accepted back into the Sect with the blessing of Bing Yun.

Later, Shi Tian He is called upon by Yang Kai and Ji Yao to design disguises for them so that they can infiltrate Seeking Passion Sect’s allied forces in order to capture or kill their hired Array Grandmaster, Nanmen Da Jun. After hearing that she learned her extraordinary disguise capabilities from a passing beggar that she lent her assistance to, Yang Kai bears suspicion that it was actually the Bustling World Great Emperor in disguise.

Ten Thousand Year Incense

Ten Thousand Years Incense is an extraordinary and artificially made Treasure that has the outstanding effect of not only enabling cultivators to better sense the Heavenly Way/Martial Dao while inhaling it, but more significantly helps them to eliminate any potential Heart Demons. It is said that this incense can burn for tens of thousands of years.

## History

Yang Kai acquired this Treasure in the 6th Layer of the Flowing Flame Sand Field. He would then place it in his personal meditation chamber in both Dragon Cave Mountain and later High Heaven Sect for the remainder of his time on Shadowed Star.

## Quotes

“Ten Thousand Year Incense wasn’t naturally generated, but rather something artificially refined. The raw materials required to refine it were astonishing, with parts of over a dozen species of Tenth-Order Monster Beast as the core ingredients. The rarest of all these materials was the heart of a beast called the Seven Coloured Elk."

"After removing a Seven Coloured Elk’s heart, one had to use it within ten days, otherwise, its aroma would completely dissipate."
Xiang Ying

* Manhua 1
* Manhua 2

First meeting Yang Kai in the Primordial Land of Great Ruins Boundary, Xiang Ying is one of the Divine Spirit Bearers who is rescued by Yang Kai there. Later, Xiang Yang joins Void Land after finding the Great Ruins Shop in Void Star City, which is ran by another former Bearer, Fang Yue.

Xiang Ying, having been made to condense many 6th Rank resources by his respective Divine Spirit Master, then successfully promotes to the 6th Rank Open Heaven Realm thanks to Void Land's resources and aids. He subsequently contributes in the Sect’s war against Zuo Quan Hui.

Xiang Ying continues to loyally serve as one of the elite powerhouses of Yang Kai's influences.
Spatial Territory

Spatial Territory is the Great Territory that lies between Ink Battlefield and the 3,000 Worlds. Known as the 2nd Battlefield, Spatial Territory is the last defense area to prevent Ink from entering the Great Territories of the Outer Universe, where it can become virtually unstoppable due to the vast amount of World Force for it to feed on. It can only be accessed from Ink Battlefield through No-Return Pass. Spatial Territory connects to the 3,000 Worlds through a Territory Gate to Shattered Heaven. As the true final fortress of the Human Race, Dragon Clan, and Phoenix Clan in protecting the 3,000 Worlds from Ink, Spatial Territory has been emptied of all Universe Worlds and vitality so that Ink has no extraneous resources to feed off of.

## Spatial Territory War

### Against the Wall

After the 36 Cave Heavens and 72 Paradises are defeated in the Source Area of Ink Battlefield, the remaining forces eventually make a retreat into Spatial Territory with the Dragon and Phoenix Clans. Drawing support from all the 5th Rank and above Open Heaven Stage cultivators of the 3,000 Worlds, the Human Race forces would desperately try to wipe out the remaining Ink Army before they could break into Shattered Heaven and the rest of the Outer Universe.

During this War, Yang Kai eventually seals the Territory Gate connecting Spatial Territory to No-Return Pass and Ink Battlefield. This allows the Human Race the opportunity to only concern themselves with dealing with the remaining enemies within Spatial Territory.

### Defeat

Eventually, Ink would send its Ancestral Land Clone into Spatial Territory, overwhelming the Human Race and Divine Spirits. The Human Race and Divine Spirit forces would be ordered to retreat by their respective 9th Rank or equivalent leaders, with only two Old Ancestors being left to the retreating forces in Yin-Yang Heaven’s Smiles Old Ancestor and Wu Qing. Subsequently, the other Old Ancestors, Dragon Emperor, and Fire Phoenix Empress would be killed by Ink's forces.

Xu Hui

Xu Hui is the Great Elder of Nine Heavens Holy Land who first encounters Yang Kai after the latter is chosen by An Ling’er as the only candidate for the position of Holy Master.

## Appearance

Xu Hui appears as a slightly older man with a temperate demeanor.

## Personality

In a line with his appearance, Xu Hui is a temperate and composed individual. He holds an unquestionable loyalty toward Nine Heaven's Holy Land, with particular respect to its Holy Master.

## Background

As the Great Elder of Nine Heavens Holy Land, Xu Hui held a 2nd Order Saint Realm cultivation, making him a powerful figure by Tong Xuan Realm's standards.

## History

### New Holy Master

The Great Elder of Nine Heavens Holy Land, Xu Hui faithfully serves its Holy Master before his death, which just happens to occur sometime after Yang Kai arrives in Tong Xuan Realm. Upon being introduced to Yang Kai by An Ling’er, Xu Hui instantly approves of what is now the only option for Holy Master.

Seeing Yang Kai's reluctance to accept the position, Xu Hui asks him to enter the Holy Master tomb before making a final decision. Though Yang Kai originally seems to have shockingly not been swayed by the Holy Master Tomb, he eventually takes responsibility for the Holy Land after a Coalition forms outside of its Protective Array in outrage over the actions of Saintess Nan. Holy Master Yang Kai would handle this dilemma by temporarily lending the Holy Land to the Monster Race's Scarlet Flame Thunder Dragon Great Senior, while Xu Hui and the other members of the Holy Land stayed in the now empty Holy Master Tomb.

### Holy Land's Rise

When Yang Kai returns to free them from the Tomb, Xu Hui is shocked to see the Ancient Demon Clan at the Holy Master's side, but quickly adjust to the situation. Over the next several years, Xu Hui would watch with pride and astonishment as Yang Kai develops Nine Heavens Holy Land to be more successful than ever. After the defeat of the Bone Race, Xu Hui is among those to see Yang Kai off as he traveled to the Starry Sky.

### High Heaven Sect

Decades later, a 2nd Order Origin Returning Realm Yang Kai would eventually return to Tong Xuan Realm and Nine Heavens Holy Land. During this trip, he would eventually take Xu Hui along with his friends, family, and the entirety of Nine Heavens Holy Land back to Shadowed Star's High Heaven Sect.
