I, a prison guard in the Heavenly Prison, secretly became invincible thanks to the system.

Chapter 436 Return to the clan

"Your immediate priority is to explore the deep sea, return to the library, and carefully select a suitable method for ascending to the pillar."

Fang Yu finished his tea in one gulp and spoke slowly.

Ye Kang nodded and said, "Thank you, Uncle-Master. Does the sect have many methods for raising pillars?"

"Of course, don't underestimate the words 'top power'. When I was choosing the method to ascend to the top, there were already twenty-three ordinary methods and six superior methods to choose from. A few years ago, the sect leader found another ruin and added another superior method. There's always a suitable one to choose from."

"I see, disciple understands."

Ye Kang felt somewhat fortunate. Joining a sect was great; there were so many inherited cultivation techniques to choose from, a life unimaginable for independent cultivators.

I originally thought I would need to buy a few more books from Linglong Chamber of Commerce, but now it seems there's no need for that at all.

At this moment, Jian Xin, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up: "Raising the pillar is important, but it also requires a solid foundation. If the divine sea is not opened up properly, no matter how good the method of raising the pillar is, it will not be able to raise a three-zhang-high heavenly pillar."

Upon hearing this, even Fang Yu was momentarily stunned.

"Junior Nephew Jian, in your opinion, how well should the Divine Sea be developed to be considered good?"

"The bigger the better."

The answer was simple and resolute.

The larger the Divine Sea, the higher the upper limit of the Ascending Pillar.

Ye Kang immediately cupped his hands in thanks: "Thank you for the reminder, Fellow Daoist Jian. I will keep it in mind."

"No problem."

Jian Xin closed her eyes to rest, not even glancing at Ye Kang.

Fang Yu, who was standing to the side, also looked surprised.

This junior disciple Jian doesn't seem to be the type to give advice to others.

What's going on today? Could it be that he knows Ye Kang?

Fang Yu was completely baffled. This was both helping to kill someone and giving guidance on cultivation; it was truly unbelievable.

But after all, he's a prodigy, so he's bound to have some unusual traits. Maybe he just took a liking to Ye Kang and did it on a whim.

Fang Yu didn't think much of it and led Ye Kang out of the cabin, leaving Jian Xin to rest alone.

……

three days later.

The large ship passed all the islands along the route and finally returned to Whale City.

As they passed through the outer sea area, the divine sense belonging to the Crimson Sword Sect appeared and disappeared.

The next second, Sect Master Yuan Bahai rushed out and punched into the air: "Get lost! If you dare to wander around Tyrant Whale Island again, I'll go sleep at your father-in-law's house!"

With a furious shout, the man from the Crimson Sword Sect fled in panic, and Yuan Bahai then flew back in a rage.

On the deck, Fang Yu glanced helplessly at Ye Kang.

He casually remarked, "Murong Zhantie is going too far, sending people to monitor us every few days. I reckon the sect leader is about to lose his temper."

Ye Kang remained expressionless, but inwardly he had already clenched his fists.

The Crimson Sword Sect is determined to kill me. I must improve my strength, otherwise, once discovered, I will surely die.

The large ship docked, and Ye Kang followed Fang Yu back to the sect.

Surprisingly, Jian Xin also joined the sect.

As for what she came for, Ye Kang was not interested.

After bidding farewell to the two, he went directly to the disciples' main hall and found Qi Youshan.

Qi Youshan smiled broadly as soon as he saw Ye Kang.

"Liu Ci is back! So many days have passed, I was a little worried you'd cause trouble. Oh my? Nine Leaves? You're about to open your Divine Sea! Congratulations, congratulations!"

A hearty laugh rang out, making one think he was a caring leader who looked after his juniors.

Ye Kang said coldly, "Mr. Qi, hasn't Liu Ci caused enough trouble? Wherever I go, people want to beat me up."

"What! This is actually true!"

"Are you still pretending?"

Faced with Ye Kang's questioning gaze, Qi Youshan smiled awkwardly and said in a low voice, "Little Ye, this is for your own good. You see, although this identity has offended many people, it's annoying enough that no one would suspect that Liu Ci is actually Wang Yintai, right?"

"I really have to thank Mr. Qi for being so considerate of me."

Ye Kang looked exasperated, and then recounted what had happened on Red Island.

Qi Youshan had already received the news, so he didn't ask any further questions. He simply said, "Well done! Those old guys are all up to no good. Instead of going to the Tyrant Whale Sect when they're in trouble, they go to the Blood Shark Palace. They deserve a beating! Don't worry, I'll take care of the rest."

Qi Youshan patted Ye Kang on the shoulder and whispered, "You're about to become a Grandmaster. If there's anything you don't understand, just ask me. I'll answer anything you know."

"Do I still have to thank you?"

"Not at all, we're from the same sect, there's no need for thanks, isn't this what elders should do?"

Qi Youshan laughed heartily, while Ye Kang looked on with admiration.

This guy is really good at playing dumb; no wonder he can be the general manager.

After returning to his clan to report for duty, Ye Kang went back to his small courtyard.

As soon as he entered, the carp god, which was soaking in the pond, raised its head and quickly ran to Ye Kang's side.

She raised her little head, seemingly lost in thought.

Ye Kang smiled and said, "I'm back. How has the Carp God been lately?"

"The Carp God is well, and the Carp God has eaten his fill."

"Oh? You've spent all the spirit crystals I gave you?"

"The Carp God didn't spend any money; it was all given to the Carp God by one person."

"one person?"

Ye Kang was completely bewildered. At that moment, the two boys who were cooking in the kitchen rushed out.

"Senior brother, you're back. The person Miss was talking about is Senior Brother Chu."

"Chu Fanjiang? What's up with this guy? How much food did he bring?"

"After Senior Brother left, Senior Brother Chu sent three large carts of beef and mutton, which Miss ate in one bite. He then sent twenty more carts, which were placed at the door every morning."

"Eat it all in one bite..."

Ye Kang looked at the flat belly of the carp god. This guy has already transformed into human form, so why is his appetite increasing instead of decreasing?

Being able to eat is a blessing. If someone is treating, just eat whatever you want, no need to worry.

Ye Kang rested in the cave for a night and ate with the Carp God.

The next morning, he got up early and rushed to the library.

Both the Raging Waves Society and the Crimson Sword Sect want to kill him, so he is surrounded by danger.

Time waits for no one, and change is imminent.

Ye Kang transformed back into Wang Yintai and entered the Sutra Repository.

On a reclining chair by the entrance, Elder Mo, who guards the Sutra Repository, waved his fan and said cheerfully, "Young Master Wang has arrived. What are you looking for?"

"Elder Mo, I wish to find some methods to open up the Divine Sea and select a method to ascend the pillar."

"You're about to be promoted to a high position so soon? You're a promising young man. Let's go to the second floor. All the cultivation techniques and martial arts are up there. Just make your selection and write it down for me."

"Ok."

Ye Kang cupped his hands and went up to the second floor. His fellow disciples were stunned when they saw him.

"This guy has finally shown up. I didn't expect him to improve so quickly."

"I thought he had already been protected by the sect leader."

"Sigh, no wonder he's a genius, he's already started choosing the ascending pillar method."

"Wang Yintai is not bad, at least a hundred times better than that Liu Ci. That bastard was actually released again, how infuriating!"
