Chapter 2032: Chapter 2030: Aftermath
When Qin Yi was anxiously waiting for most of the day, suddenly a Sun Blaze from the Dwarf Race returned to Mount Fangcun, calling out the waiting healing cultivators to tell them that the battle was over, their side won a complete victory, and the entire Zixuan battalion was annihilated!
Qin Yi could hardly believe it.
She knew the strong foundation of the Zixuan battalion, which was exactly why she hurriedly came to Jade Conch. Such a force, looking at the stellar space, was simply not something an average Star System could contend with. Even though Jade Conch’s foundation was not weak and had the capital to counter Zixuan, to defeat them would certainly come at a great cost.
But how long has it been?
Jade Conch actually claimed victory, a complete victory!
Instead, the Zixuan battalion, which she regarded as powerful, could only be looked up to, was completely destroyed.
Complete annihilation meant that from Sun Blaze to Constellation in the Zixuan battalion, there was no escape! What kind of price did Jade Conch have to pay for such a battle record?
Qin Yi originally thought that Jade Conch would also suffer great battle damage, but at this moment, looking around, there were not many injured cultivators from Jade Conch, let alone any dead.
On the chaotic battlefield, everywhere were the corpses of Zixuan demon cultivators; some maintained human forms before death, while others turned into their true forms, each one with glaring claws, looking terrifying.
After the battle, Jade Conch cultivators gathered in groups, joyfully collecting the spoils of war. To Qin Yi, they didn’t seem like they just fought a battle, but rather like a group of people attending a fair...
All kinds of bizarre sights left Qin Yi feeling dizzy, making the world seem so unfamiliar.
The battle didn’t take too much time, but cleaning the battlefield took quite some effort.
Only after three days did everything settle; all that should be collected was gathered, including the several battleships that Lu Ye had broken, which were dragged together into Mount Fangcun by the cultivators. Although these battleships were damaged, they still had many useful parts, especially the Sun Blaze class one. If a suitable talent were found for repair, it might have a chance to see the light of day again.
The Jade Conch allied forces gathered in Mount Fangcun for a celebration, while Lu Ye rode Mount Fangcun, heading back the way they came.
Several days later, near Nine Provinces, Mount Fangcun was resettled.
After the excitement, Xuyuan found Lu Ye to bid farewell.
The Soul Race was involved in this battle mainly at Lu Ye’s behest; without Lu Ye, the Soul Race would not have recklessly joined the stellar space’s conflict.
Now that the war was settled, the Soul Race had no intention of lingering outside and naturally wanted to return to the ancestral land.
Lu Ye warmly invited them to stay; the Soul Race played a crucial role in the smooth battle against Zixuan. Under Soul Possession, the Jade Conch allied forces saw a significant increase in power from Constellation to Sun Blaze, making the victory so easy.
Otherwise, relying solely on the merfolk race’s secret technique augmentation, the Jade Conch allied forces would at most have the upper hand, with substantial deaths and injuries being unavoidable.
Xuyuan politely declined, as the Soul Race generally disliked the outside environment. Just like fish need to live in water, the ancestral land is the most suitable place for the Soul Race to survive.
Although being outside wasn’t as exaggerated as a fish leaving water, there were indeed uneasy elements involved. Unless souls possessed living beings, this unease wouldn’t be eliminated.
But who would willingly be possessed by the Soul Race unless the relationship was extraordinarily close? In such cases, no secrets would remain.
"Now that you’ve advanced to Sun Blaze, finish your remaining tasks early and visit the ancestral land; the cultivation of the Soul Suppressing Secret Technique has unique advantages there," Xuyuan earnestly advised.
"Yes!" Lu Ye respectfully replied.
Every Sun Blaze has their own Soul Suppressing Secret Technique because reaching this realm involves the psyche, making the Soul Suppressing Secret Technique the cornerstone of cultivation at this stage.
This secret technique is vital for Sun Blaze and isn’t easily used, but once deployed, it signifies a life-and-death struggle.
Bi Chen once used his Soul Suppressing Secret Technique, intending to take Lu Ye down with him, but Xuyuan put a stop to it. Despite Xuyuan’s seemingly effortless intervention, it was because he was from the Soul Race, unmatched by any race in psyche cultivation.
In reality, if Xuyuan hadn’t intervened, that Soul Suppressing Secret Technique would have been unstoppable even by Chen Xuanhai; if it reached Lu Ye, the consequences would have been dire.
Even if Xuyuan hadn’t brought this up, Lu Ye was prepared for it.
There’s no place in the world more suitable for the cultivation of the Soul Suppressing Secret Technique than the Soul Race ancestral land.
"Yiyi and the Sacred Beast will stay; please take care of them," Xuyuan advised again.
Seizing the rare opportunity to be with Lu Ye, Yiyi naturally didn’t want to miss it, so she decided not to return to the ancestral land for this journey but stayed with Amber for the time being.
"Rest assured, Elders!" Lu Ye nodded; to him, Yiyi and Amber were relatives, family, and he certainly wouldn’t let any harm come to them, especially since there was nothing within Mount Fangcun that could threaten them.
Led by Xuyuan, the Soul Race departed, with Lu Ye bidding them farewell.
A moment later, on the Mount Fangcun’s side, the Sun Blaze elders from the Southern and Western Regions also came to bid farewell.
This time they came to support Lu Ye, leaving only one Sun Blaze elder stationed in each part of Mount Fangcun, and many from the Moon Jade level were drawn over as well. Now that the battle is over, they naturally need to return to prevent anything from happening on their way back.
Everyone is considered family, with relations closer than with the Soul Race, so Lu Ye naturally doesn’t need to be too polite with them. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
In front of the Array, the Sun Blaze elders of the Dwarf Race gathered, and Lu Ye spoke: "Originally, I planned to bring this up in a couple of days. Now that the elder brothers and sisters from the Southern and Western Regions are about to leave, it’s just right to discuss this matter first."
From the Southern Region, led by Wuh Ji, he glanced at Lu Ye upon hearing this, "What matter does Junior Brother Lu speak of?"
Lu Ye said: "You all should be aware of the situation with the All Phenomena Ocean. The current situation is that Three Worlds Island controls the All Phenomena Ocean, and has reached some agreements with major Star Systems; overall, there won’t be any issues. Previously in the battle, Three Worlds Island captured three top-class Spirit Islands, one of which is now overseen by a Sun Blaze elder from the All Phenomena Galaxy. They are rebuilding the All Phenomena Merchants Guild and sharing the profits. Two Spirit Islands remain: Zixuan Island and Winged Heaven Island, both are top-class Spirit Islands. My intention is for the Dwarf Race to take one position, or even both."
Upon hearing this, the Sun Blaze elders all raised their eyebrows.
A top-class Spirit Island! In the All Phenomena Ocean, each top-class Spirit Island is a treasure, and only the most elite factions can usually occupy them. Given their scarcity, their numbers have barely changed since ancient times.
Even when the All Phenomena Galaxy managed the All Phenomena Ocean in the past, they only occupied the All Phenomena Island. If not for the high value of these islands, the Celestial Flames World wouldn’t have targeted the Unparalleled Island back then, resulting in benefits not being reaped and creating issues.
Now with Three Worlds Island reigning supreme, they’ve suddenly seized control of three islands. Including Three Worlds Island, that makes four!
How many top-class Spirit Islands are there in the entire All Phenomena Ocean? Occupying four of them is indeed remarkable.
The Sun Blaze elders of the Dwarf Race exchanged glances, reading a hint of desire in each other’s eyes.
They weren’t unaware of the All Phenomena Ocean’s advantages. Previously, the Dwarf Race was divided into three parts, making it difficult to unify, and they wandered everywhere, with no chance to touch the All Phenomena Ocean.
Now it’s different. Lu Ye has retrieved Mount Fangcun’s core, and the Eastern Region has already fused with the core. The Southern Region won’t take long to come over, and once the Western Region is integrated, Mount Fangcun will be whole.
They finally don’t have to wander as exiles anymore.
With Three Worlds Island controlling the All Phenomena Ocean and having extra top-class Spirit Islands, the Dwarf Race is in a favorable position.
Being able to occupy a top-class Spirit Island in the All Phenomena Ocean is significantly advantageous for the development of the Sun Blaze elders of the Dwarf Race. Their supply of Spirit Talismans has always been inadequate, and by merely conducting this business, the Dwarf Race won’t worry about resources in the future.
As Sun Blaze elders of the Dwarf Race, they naturally have to consider the future of their race.
"This matter... is feasible. I have no objections." Wuh Ji nodded immediately. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
From the Western Region, Zhang Kun also nodded and said: "I have no objections either. What about Brother Chen?" He looked at Chen Xuanhai.
Chen Xuanhai said: "That’s good, if our race occupies a top-class Spirit Island in the All Phenomena Ocean, we will have a foothold there. Zixuan suffered a major loss this time and won’t rest quietly. Jade Conch may not dare to come again, but they might cause trouble in the All Phenomena Ocean. At that time, we can dispatch Sun Blaze elders to be stationed there as a precaution."
Lu Ye blinked. At Mount Fangcun, they are temporarily unaware of the Three Treasure Wishing Coins matter. If they knew, they would understand that compared to Jade Conch, the All Phenomena Ocean is where they really wouldn’t dare to go. That place is truly a perilous one for Zixuan.
"Then let’s settle it. We’ll keep one island for you, either Zixuan or Winged Heaven Island."
"Zixuan then." Chen Xuanhai decided.
This time, almost all Zixuan Demon Venerables were killed by the Sun Blaze elders of the Dwarf Race. Having already formed enmity, there’s no fear in occupying the former Zixuan Island.
Lu Ye certainly had no objections.
Shortly after, he used his position as the master of Mount Fangcun to activate the Array, sending off the Dwarf Race members from the Southern and Western Regions.
"The Southern Region won’t take long to integrate, and the foundation of Mount Fangcun will be further strengthened. I’m really looking forward to it." Woo Qimo suddenly spoke.
Lu Ye also had some anticipation, because not only the Southern Region is coming, but also the Blood Termination World coming along with it!
This domain is essentially formed from one of the Blood Ancestor’s arms. Once united with the Blood Refinement World, who knows if any changes will occur.
"Junior Brother Lu, be cautious of the Zixuan Demon Venerables you encountered this time. It’s not just about the eight minor Demon Venerables who are likely dead; it’s the two Great Demon Venerables you need to watch out for." said Chen Xuanhai.
Lu Ye was taken aback, "Does Brother mean... that these were not their true bodies?"
Chen Xuanhai shook his head, "Not certain, magic bodies differ from normal doppelgangers, so even I can’t discern whether they’re true bodies. Besides, even if Bi Chen and Moh Xuan came with their true bodies, there would surely be surviving magic bodies. They indeed suffered major losses this battle, but the details of Jade Conch have been exposed."
Lu Ye smiled and said, "That’s no concern, if we can make Zixuan suffer once, we can make them suffer a second time. This battle hurt them deeply, and they should not dare to return in the short term."
"As long as you’re aware." Chen Xuanhai nodded.
