Sage of Humanity

Chapter 2015: Chapter 2013: Visitors from Home

It seems that during the time Hua Ci was sealed, she did not lose consciousness at all, she heard everything I said.

Lu Ye struggled a bit more: "What Yuqing?"

Hua Ci’s beautiful eyes sparkled, her face radiant with a smile: "Pretending!"

As she said this, with a slight exertion of mana, she raised her hand and tossed Lu Ye onto the bed beside, instantly Lu Ye lay with limbs spread on it.

From the corner of his eye, he saw Hua Ci sauntering gracefully towards him, crawling from the foot of the bed, limbs bent like a cat slowly approaching.

"What are you going to do?" Lu Ye’s heart was in turmoil.

Although a moment before, Hua Ci’s various gestures had stirred him, the feeling was entirely different after the shift from attack to defense.

With a slight sink, Hua Ci’s delicate hand gently drew circles on Lu Ye’s chest, her tone languid: "Heartless man, you’re doomed!"

Her tender body leaned down, shadow covering the light, Lu Ye closed his eyes, deep inside feeling humiliated...

The Three Treasure Wishing Coins truly lived up to being a stellar space supreme treasure, even though the Talent Tree’s power had been scorching its strength, it took a full four days before Lu Ye slowly regained his freedom.

The sealing power of this magnitude was almost on par with the power of the Asura Pact from the Asura Field, something not humanly possible to resist.

Three days later, Lu Ye emerged with sunken eyes and a pallid complexion.

The All Phenomena Ocean is a godforsaken place, need to hurry back to Nine Provinces!

He genuinely couldn’t understand, Hua Ci’s strength was clearly so much inferior to Su Yuqing, yet why in some aspects she could endure much better than Su Yuqing, could such matters have nothing to do with strength?

How could it have nothing to do with strength?

"You finally came out." Tang Jun suddenly appeared in front of him, seeming restless, shocked upon seeing Lu Ye’s appearance: "What happened to you?"

Lu Ye spoke sorrowfully: "Something went wrong in cultivation, nothing serious, what’s up?"

Old Tang eyed him suspiciously before hurriedly declaring: "Someone’s here from the hometown!"

"Who’s coming from the hometown?" Lu Ye was initially puzzled, then looked confused: "How could anyone come from the hometown?"

"Come and see for yourself."

Moments later, in a secret chamber, Lu Ye followed Tang Jun.

Luan Xiao’e and He Baichuan were both present, one standing and one sitting, a person lying on the bed nearby, the chamber filled with a bloody odor, likely due to someone being injured and blood spilling.

Lu Ye focused on the bed and immediately looked puzzled: "Fellow Daoist Su?"

The injured cultivator on the bed was someone he recognized, it was Su Yiming who he had dealings with previously in Jade Conch World, although they weren’t very familiar, they had met a few times.

"How are you here? Who injured you?" Lu Ye asked.

Su Yiming smiled at Lu Ye and shook his head: "No one injured me, my injury is from when I passed through the Insect Path."

"Passing through the Insect Path..." Lu Ye’s expression shifted, "Could it be the passage between All Phenomena and Jade Conch..."

Su Yiming nodded: "It can be passed, though it’s not very stable!"

Lu Ye rejoiced, it was as if someone served a pillow when he wanted to sleep, he was considering that when he returned to Nine Provinces to deal with the invasion of Zixuan demon cultivator, he needed Luan Xiao’e to come along, but Luan Xiao’e was already Sun Blaze, unable to be put into the Small Flower World, nor was he sure if he could have her follow him through the Soul Race ancestral land.

But if the Insect Path can be traveled, all issues would be resolved.

"When did this happen?" Lu Ye asked.

"Just a while ago... cough cough..." Su Yiming hadn’t finished speaking when he started coughing violently.

"Let me explain." Luan Xiao’e patted his back and took over.

Through her explanation, Lu Ye gradually understood the changes occurring at the Insect Path.

Actually, someone had reported to him during his last return to Nine Provinces that there were some vague changes at the Insect Path, and he had personally investigated.

Because both Lu Ye and Tang Jun had experience entering the All Phenomena Ocean via the Insect Path, the corresponding location of the Insect Path could be confirmed, what couldn’t be confirmed was if this path could stabilize, or when it would stabilize.

Thus, a long time ago, Lu Ye had let people from the Jade Conch World guard the Insect Path’s entrance, constantly monitoring changes of the path.

All this time, Su Yiming had been responsible for this.

The formation of an Insect Path is due to many coincidences, beyond human intervention, and not every Insect Path is passable; in this vast stellar space, new Insect Paths come into being time and again, while old paths collapse—it’s unpredictable.

Thus, after an Insect Path forms, it needs to be stable enough for people to use.

If it’s not stable, it won’t work; this sort of thing is a matter of luck. Some Insect Paths remain chaotic for tens of thousands of years, while others stabilize immediately upon formation, without any pattern.

The stability of the Insect Path connecting Jade Conch to All Phenomena Galaxy can’t be predicted, only time can prove its steadiness.

Not long ago, Su Yiming perceived further changes and immediately went in to investigate.

Before, he had done similar things several times. Under normal circumstances, with his cultivation of Moon Jade, exploring around the Insect Path’s entrance without staying too long, generally led to no trouble.

But this time, unexpectedly something went wrong.

Just as Su Yiming entered the Insect Path, there was another change, resulting in him getting lost inside, unable to find his direction, having to follow the path forward with many dangers along the way.

Because the Insect Path is unstable, it erupts with Void Turbulence, causing the wounds on Su Yiming’s body.

The last time he encountered danger, he passed out and doesn’t know what happened afterward.

When he woke up again, he found himself rescued.

His rescuers were a few cultivators only at the Constellation Realm, origins unknown, but with kind hearts.

After Su Yiming awoke, he asked these people about the situation and realized he’d inadvertently arrived in the All Phenomena Galaxy!

Feeling both surprised and delighted, he requested their help to reach the All Phenomena Ocean and found Three Worlds Island.

It was just half a day ago that Su Yiming arrived at Three Worlds Island, and when they saw him, Luan Xiao’e and He Baichuan couldn’t believe their eyes.

Old Tang immediately wanted to contact Lu Ye but received no response until Lu Ye suddenly appeared.

"Has there been any change in the home galaxy?" Lu Ye asked urgently, although he could basically determine that the Zixuan demon cultivator army hadn’t yet reached the Jade Conch, since Su Yiming had come, he could inquire a bit.

Su Yiming shook his head: "No changes, everything is fine. But I heard your Nine Heavens World created a training ground, even Constellation cultivators can enter to explore, with many wonders and benefits, so many from the Jade Conch and Qingli Dao World have gone there with their families."

This news spreads quickly... but it’s not a problem, even if some from the other two worlds come and go, it doesn’t add much burden to Number Nine.

"What happened?" Su Yiming asked.

"Nothing much, Fellow Daoist, just focus on healing your injuries." Lu Ye reassured.

Su Yiming nodded and remembered something: "By the way, those few little Fellow Daoists who escorted me, please treat them well."

Lu Ye said: "Rest assured, they will not be mistreated." freewebnσvel.cѳm

Leaving Su Yiming to recuperate, He Baichuan personally guards him, while Lu Ye took Luan Xiao’e and Tang Jun outside.

After a moment of contemplation, Lu Ye turned to Tang Jun: "Give those Constellation cultivators some spirit jade and Spiritual Artifacts, don’t be stingy, provide ample amounts."

Tang Jun said: "I’ve contacted them before, they seem to want to join our Three Worlds Island, what do you think..."

"Decide for yourself." Lu Ye was unconcerned with such trivial matters, back in the day, Three Worlds Island wouldn’t accept cultivators from outside, but times have changed, here on the All Phenomena Ocean, Three Worlds Island stands alone, with fewer scruples than before, just a few Constellation cultivators.

Tang Jun nodded and went to handle it.

Lu Ye then looked at Luan Xiao’e: "Senior Sister, come with me to check the Insect Path, if everything is fine, we’ll directly return to Nine Provinces through it!"

Luan Xiao’e nodded: "Alright! But Junior Brother, wait a moment, there are others who want to go with us."

"Who?"

Luan Xiao’e smiled: "You’ll find out soon enough."

Lu Ye was puzzled since this trip was to return to the Jade Conch Galaxy, bringing Luan Xiao’e back was right, as she’s a Sun Blaze, capable of play a significant role, as for others, Lu Ye hadn’t planned to bring them.

But Luan Xiao’e didn’t explain much, only sending out some messages.

Soon, figures gathered from all directions.

The first to arrive were a group of Moon Jade cultivators who had ascended on the All Phenomena Ocean in recent years, all originating from the Jade Conch World.

Next came the Constellation cultivators, with Three Worlds cultivators present, led by a group from Nine Provinces.

The sect master, Master Yun Xuechu, Elder Brother Feng Wujiang, Giant Armor, Third Brother Li Baxian, Nian Yuexian, Lady Moon, Mong Jie, Jian Guhong...

Looking at these familiar faces, Lu Ye didn’t know what to say.

Thang Yifeng stepped forward to pat Lu Ye’s shoulder: "The matter of our homeland isn’t just yours alone. We’ve been peacefully cultivating on the All Phenomena Ocean and fought many battles with you at the forefront. We can’t always let you bear the burden alone; we’re also capable of fighting and waging war."

Feng Wujiang also smiled at Lu Ye: "Little Junior Brother, look forward and into the distance, but don’t forget those behind you."

Jian Guhong touched his sword with a low voice: "The sword cries, it hasn’t tasted blood for a long time, hoping this time it sees a joyful battle!"

Li Baxian looked at the profound demeanor of this old senior and felt inadequate.

Seeing these many familiar faces and the light in their eyes, Lu Ye realized he couldn’t refuse this trip.

And he knew, Nine Provinces cultivators have never been flowers nurtured in a greenhouse; each has braved life-and-death ordeals many times to reach today’s status.

If they choose to follow Lu Ye back to their homeland, it means they have disregarded life and death.

"I understand!" Lu Ye nodded, "Please join me in returning to our homeland, fight the foreign foes, and those who dare invade our galaxy will surely meet no return!"

"That’s right!" Thang Yifeng felt a surge of satisfaction.
