Martial Peak
Yang Kai starts off as a Trial Disciple of High Heaven Pavilion, where he is unable to advance on the
path of Martial Dao due to a birth defect. This all changed when he one day stumbled upon a
mysterious Black Book. Later, a Golden Skeleton, impressed by Yang Kai's mental fortitude and
attitude, comes from the book and integrates itself into his body.[1] This fixes his meridians and
replaces his own skeleton to allow him to finally practice Martial Arts. Yang Kai then quickly becomes
adept at cultivation, and blooms as one of the best upcoming talents of High Heaven Pavilion.
One day, a Mysterious Small World opens up near High Heaven Pavilion, leading to its disciples
entering it with the hopes of possibly receiving the inheritance left behind by the ancient cultivators
who fell there. From this event, Yang Kai and Su Yan, an extremely talented Core Disciple of High
Heaven Pavilion, receive a Dragon and Phoenix-related inheritance respectively. They also learn and
willingly perform the Yin-Yang Joyous Unification Art, which greatly enhances their strength in
addition to establishing them as lovers. Later, Yang Kai also manages to acquire the Heaven-defying
Soul Warming Lotus during another fortuitous adventure.
One day, upon returning to High Heaven Pavilion, Yang Kai finds it in peril. This is because Yang Bai,
the previous disciple of High Heaven Pavilion's Sect Master, Ling Tai Xu, broke out of his prison in the
Sect's Coiling Dragon Stream, injured his former Master, and proceeded to cause chaos in the Great
Han Dynasty. This leads to High Heaven Pavilion being targeted by the other Sects of the Great Han
Dynasty. The Eight Great Families of the Central Capital, known as the most powerful forces within
the Great Han Dynasty, then proceed to forcefully disband High Heaven Pavilion as Yang Kai and
most of its members successfully make their escape from persecution.
The Inheritance War
Later, after some adventures in the Ash-Grey Cloud Evil Land involving the Seductress Shan Qing Luo,
Yang Kai is revealed to be one of the Young Masters of the Yang Family, the greatest of the Eight
Great Families. The Yang Family is about to hold an Inheritance War to determine its next Patriarch,
and Yang Kai qualifies for this competition as one of the family's Young Masters. At first reluctant,
Yang Kai eventually chooses to participate in this war in order to restore the name of High Heaven
Pavilion.
In the War, Yang Kai proves to be by far the most talented of all the Young Masters, and builds up a
very powerful force. Threatened by how skillfully Yang Kai inspires forces to join him, as well as his
ability to rapidly increases their strength, the Eight Great Families eventually shirk the rules of the
War in order to directly oppose Yang Kai themselves. However, before either side can determine
victory in this conflict, the Inheritance War is interrupted by the now extremely powerful Yang Bai.
Yang Bai, as the 3rd Order Transcendent Realm “Demon Lord,” managed to conquer all 6 of the Evil
Kings of the Ash-Grey Cloud Evil Land, and now shockingly leads them in invading the Central Capital
of the Great Han Dynasty.
In light of this, the Eight Great Families eventually concede to follow Yang Kai in order to use his
great leadership skills and personal army to combat this overwhelming threat. However, Yang Kai
eventually discovers that Yang Bai's actual plan involves accessing a Void Corridor, which just
happens to be under the Center Capital, in order to both access a higher world and pursue an even
higher Martial Dao. Though Yang Bai is eventually defeated outside the Void Corridor, his selfdestruction causes it to collapse with a fleeing Yang Kai, Su Yan, and others inside of it. Separated
from his friends and loved ones, Yang Kai eventually makes his way back to the Central Capital after
spending some time in the Endless Sea Islands.
Though Yang Kai heroically lead the Eight Great Families to victory against the enemy forces, he
refuses to take the position of Yang Family Patriarch upon his return to the Central Capital. Instead,
he chooses to travel to the higher world of Tong Xuan Realm alongside one of its natives, Shui Ling,
whom he had incidentally met and befriended during the Inheritance War. Looking to both reunite
with his lost friends and pursue a higher Martial Dao, Yang Kai accesses a Void Corridor to Tong Xuan
Realm in the Abandoned Earth of the Tian Lang Dynasty.
Tong Xuan Realm
Upon arriving in Tong Xuan Realm, Yang Kai finds that his Immortal Ascension Boundary cultivation
level is only good enough to be an average disciple of most Sects. After some initial adventures in
this new world, Yang Kai is eventually caught and thrown into a coffin by a mysterious zombie
known as the Coffin Carrying Man[2]. Finding himself in a Mysterious Small World, Yang Kai learns
that this Small World is the home of the sealed Ancient Demon Clan. During his time in the Small
Boundary, Yang Kai makes a deal with the Li Rong, the leader of the Ancient Demon Clan, in which
he promises to become a Saint Grade Alchemist in order to refine a Pill that allows for the Ancient
Demon Clan to free themselves from this Small World. Eventually, the Ancient Demon Clan learns
that Yang Kai is the inheritor of their eternal master's, the Great Demon God's, legacy, leading to him
receiving better treatment. Likewise, Li Rong eventually allows Yang Kai to leave the Small World in
order to continue developing his skill in Alchemy after they run out of materials for him to practice
with.[3]
After numerous subsequent adventures, including meeting the Ancestor of High Heaven Pavilion and
briefly joining his Sect, reaching the Transcendent Realm after briefly ending up in the Starry Sky,
finding Su Yan safe at the Ice Sect, and experiencing a run in with the Demon General Xue Li, Yang
Kai ends up being reluctantly chosen as the next Holy Master of Nine Heavens Holy Land by the
Saintess, An Ling’er. At first shirking the responsibility due to the drawbacks of the position, Yang Kai
eventually accepts it, and starts to make attempts at developing the Holy Land. Having increased his
Alchemy Skills, Yang Kai makes an alliance with a Monster Race Great Senior to temporarily protect
the Nine Heavens Holy Land from hostile Sects, whom are angry over the destruction caused by the
Holy Land's revenant Saintess Nan, until he has the power to take it back.
Yang Kai, after being chased by Xue Li again, eventually returns to the Coffin Carrying Man. After
setting the Ancient Demon Clan free with a successfully refined Saint Grade Pill, Yang Kai returns to
Nine Heavens Holy Land and takes it back as he promised. Yang Kai then develops Nine Heavens Holy
Land into a more prominent existence than ever. Later, Yang kai is invited to travel with two
Monster Race Great Seniors into a new Void Corridor discovered in their Domain. In the Small World
this Void Corridor leads to, Yang Kai and the group eventually come across Meng Wu Ya and Xia Ning
Chang, who are shockingly trapped in a terrifying Spirit Array made up of pillars with the word
"TONG XUAN" engraved across them. Yang Kai has a conversation with a clone of the Great Demon
God, who tells him that this Spirit Array is important to Tong Xuan Realm. Yang Kai then destroys the
Spirit Array anyway in order to free Meng Wu Ya and Xia Ning Chang. However, instead of
reproaching him, the Great Demon God Clone simply smiles, seemingly at peace with Yang Kai's
decision to destroy the Array.
