Free Web NovelChapter 2033: Chapter 2031: Number Nine’s Thoughts
The bustle within Mount Fangcun gradually dissipated with the retreat of the Soul Race and the South and West troops of the Dwarf Race.
However, the cultivators from Qingli Dao World and Jade Conch World weren’t in a hurry to leave, as many constellations called upon friends to head to the Nine Provinces.
The existence of the Asura Field in the Nine Provinces was no longer a secret. Earlier, cultivators from the two domains, upon receiving the news, spared no effort to journey to the Nine Provinces to partake in the training at the Asura Field.
But that was ultimately a minority, most had only heard of the wonders of the Asura Field without experiencing it firsthand.
This opportunity was rare, so naturally, they wanted to enter it and experience it, after all, the training in the Asura Field is greatly beneficial for the growth of cultivators.
Upon learning this news, Lu Ye hurriedly contacted Number Nine.
"With so many constellations entering the Asura Field, how’s the burden?"
Maintaining the Asura Field consumes resources, part of which is the foundation of the Nine Provinces, and even more so are spirit jades. The Asura Field Treasure is a type of treasure, which Number Nine can use the power of spirit jades to activate, constructing scenarios for cultivators to train.
The stronger the cultivators entering, the greater the consumption.
For the Nine Provinces now, cultivators below the Divine Sea realm entering the field cost almost nothing, only the constellations do.
Previously, the number of constellations from the Nine Provinces wasn’t that many, so the consumption was naturally minimal, but now the constellations gathered in the Nine Provinces number in the thousands, which is quite a lot.
"It’s still manageable," Number Nine promptly replied, "Nowadays, spiritual energy in stellar space is much more active than before, the foundation the Nine Provinces absorbs from the stellar space is sufficient to sustain the consumption, and there is some excess. Moreover, this activity is becoming more intense, and in another ten to twenty years, even Moon Jade can come to train without issue."
"It’s becoming more intense?" Lu Ye was slightly startled, he hadn’t noticed this because every time he returned to the Nine Provinces, he didn’t stay long, unlike Number Nine, the Nine Provinces lies there, and any changes in the spiritual energy of nearby stellar space cannot escape its observation.
"Indeed, it’s been like this since a few years ago."
"Do you know the reason?" Lu Ye asked, though spiritual energy in stellar space becoming more active is a good thing for the Nine Provinces, as this would increase the speed at which the Nine Provinces’ foundation grows. Any domain’s foundation increases through the slow process of absorbing and assimilating stellar spiritual energy, but everything has a cause, Lu Ye feels it’s best to figure out the root of this change.
"No idea." Number Nine, being a derivative of the combination between the origin of the Nine Provinces and the artifact spirit of the Heaven’s Augury Compass, is well versed in everything within the Nine Provinces, but cannot investigate matters outside.
Lu Ye thought for a moment and said, "Keep observing, and if anything seems off, let me know earlier."
"Got it," Number Nine agreed, suddenly remembering something, "By the way, Lu Ye, is there a problem with the Qingli Dao World where constellations born from there can’t advance to Moon Jade?"
"There is indeed this problem!" Lu Ye nodded, not surprised that Number Nine knew about these things. Earlier, many cultivators from the Qingli Dao World came to the Nine Provinces, entering the Asura Field for training, perhaps someone mentioned it in casual conversation that Number Nine overheard, "What, do you have a solution?"
Number Nine chuckled, "I do have an idea!"
"Let’s hear it."
Number Nine proceeded to chatter to Lu Ye, leaving him dumbfounded: "Can this work?"
"Of course it can, this way it benefits the Nine Provinces while resolving the issue of Qingli Dao World. Haven’t you often mentioned about ’curved salvation’? This is a possible method."
"It is a method..." Lu Ye admitted Number Nine was correct, but the method seemed somewhat outrageous, considering it before saying, "I’ll find some time to chat with Old Tang and Wu Zhuo."
Among the three major domains of the home galaxy, the Nine Provinces originally was at the bottom, but now with Lu Ye’s advancement to Sun Blaze and the establishment in Mount Fangcun, Qingli Dao World has become the most wretched.
There are only two Moon Jade cultivators in the whole domain, one is Tang Jun who has exhausted his potential, the future path of Wu Zhuo is also unpredictable.
On this trip back to Jade Conch, Tang Jun returned as well, and since he drifted to All Phenomena Island back then, he’s only now returned for the first time.
At present, these two, along with the Moon Jade cultivators from Jade Conch, Luan Xiao’e, and the Merfolk Race, are all staying within Mount Fangcun.
While Lu Ye was conversing with Number Nine, several figures descended before him.
They were his subordinate Blood Servants, the sisters Xiang Yin and Xuan Yu, Dhing Beifeng, along with Ma Shangsi who had returned from All Phenomena Ocean with Lu Ye.
In the previous battle against Zixuan, these four Blood Servants made significant contributions, the Blood Race can play a major role on such a battlefield, with the four of them working together, they spread out a vast Blood Sea, obliterating numerous Zixuan demon cultivators, achieving notable battle merits.
The Blood Servants collectively saluted.
"What is it?" Lu Ye turned his head to look at them.
Xiang Yin and Xuan Yu, along with Dhing Beifeng, said nothing, only Ma Shangsi had a timid expression: "Sir, I have a request, and I hope you will grant it."
As soon as he spoke, Lu Ye knew what he wanted to do, waving his hand, he said, "If you wish to go, then go. You don’t have to return to All Phenomena Ocean anymore."
What he asked for was nothing more than entering the Blood Refinement World for cultivation. When Lu Ye first brought him to the Nine Provinces, he had mentioned it, but at that time Lu Ye didn’t agree because his own strength had just advanced to Moon Jade. If Ma Shangsi were to advance to Sun Blaze, it might lead to some unpredictable outcomes.
Times have changed, Lu Ye himself has already advanced to Sun Blaze, naturally, he hopes the strength of his subordinate Blood Servants grows stronger.
The four Blood Servants are all at the Moon Jade Late Stage level, with Ma Shangsi’s foundation being the most profound. If he can advance to Sun Blaze, his future contributions will undoubtedly be greater.
Ma Shangsi was momentarily stunned, then overjoyed, bowing deeply: "Thank you, my lord!"
He had this idea because he heard that Xiang Yin and Xuan Yu were always cultivating in the Blood Refinement World.
When he first heard this news, his heart was filled with bitterness; clearly, he was Lu Ye’s first Blood Servant, and clearly, he was the first...
Luckily, this time Lu Ye did not refuse.
He left full of gratitude.
Glancing in the direction where the Blood Servants left, Lu Ye retracted his gaze. Under his perception, the Nine Provinces were livelier than ever before.
This time, many cultivators have returned to their homeland, of course, there are many places for reminiscing and arrangements. Not to mention other places, just speaking of the Righteous Blood Sect, with the return of the sect master and others, the whole sect is celebrating like it’s the New Year. ƒreewebɳovel.com
This is just a microcosm of the current state of the Nine Provinces, and it’s the same with various big sects.
Lu Ye’s heart was filled with peace.
In the past, when the Insect Path was impassable, no matter how big a name Three Worlds Island made in the All Phenomena Ocean and how many benefits it gained, it always felt like a tree without roots, water without a source.
Now it’s different. The Insect Path connects the All Phenomena Ocean with the Jade Conch Galaxy, and the cultivators traveling between the two places will no longer be as troublesome as before. The Jade Conch now has the closest connection with the All Phenomena Ocean, and the Three Worlds Island now has its roots. If one day something happens on the All Phenomena Ocean side, everyone can retreat to the Jade Conch Galaxy.
Thinking back to those years when he and Old Tang were wandering in the All Phenomena Ocean with nowhere to go, isolated and helpless, to now, ruling the entire All Phenomena Ocean, leaping through the dragon gate, his identity and status have undergone a dramatic change, the hardships experienced are beyond words.
"Junior Brother Lu, you are here." A voice suddenly came.
Lu Ye turned his head and saw a woman’s figure descending, nodding slightly: "Senior Sister Qin, is Senior Sister..."
Qin Yi smiled and said, "I’m leaving, I’ve come to bid farewell to you."
She came here and watched a grand spectacle, deeply shocked, amazed by the unity of the Jade Conch cultivators, and even more astonished by Lu Ye’s connections and methods.
This grand battle involved the human race, the Demon Race, the Dwarf Race, the Soul Race, the Merfolk Race, as well as the Flower Race, Wood Spirit Race, and Spore Race... which is not commonly seen anywhere.
Lu Ye was surprised: "Are you going back already?"
Qin Yi raised her hand to gently brush aside the hair blown by the wind: "I have to return eventually."
Lu Ye nodded and did not try to persuade her to stay: "Then I will see Senior Sister off. Thank you very much this time, Senior Sister."
Lu Ye naturally understood the purpose of Qin Yi’s visit this time. Facing such a behemoth as Zixuan, that was the limit of what Qin Yi could do, and it was also the limit of the four galaxies, beyond that, they were powerless. He certainly had to express his gratitude.
Qin Yi waved her hand: "I couldn’t help at all, so Junior Brother doesn’t need to thank me." She paused for a moment and said, "But I do have a request..."
When saying this, she couldn’t help but feel embarrassed, having not helped at all, now she was asking for a favor, which was somewhat inappropriate.
However, this matter concerns the four galaxies, so she had to speak up.
"Senior Sister is talking about the Insect Path?" Lu Ye knew well. Previously, people from the four galaxies wanted to go to the All Phenomena Ocean, they had to trek for a long time, follow the route he took back in the day, and finally, use the Insect Path in the Changyun Galaxy to enter the All Phenomena Ocean.
This route, compared to borrowing the path from the Jade Conch, undoubtedly took more time and energy.
Qin Yi had already learned about the Insect Path and naturally had ideas about it. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
"Exactly." Qin Yi nodded, "I would like to ask Junior Brother to allow our cultivators from the four galaxies to use your Insect Path in the future to enter the All Phenomena Ocean." This way, at least half the time would be saved.
Moreover, the Changyun Galaxy is not friendly to them either, and every time they borrow the path, they have to pay a fee with spirit jade as a transit fee, but if they use the Jade Conch’s path, there will be no such additional expenses.
"That’s no problem." Lu Ye agreed outright, "The Insect Path is not stable enough at the moment, I will arrange for Moon Jade-class battleships to be on standby there, specifically to ferry cultivators back and forth. As it becomes gradually stable in the future, traveling will become easier."
Currently, there are three Moon Jade-class battleships that can be deployed from the Nine Provinces side, one brought back from the All Phenomena Ocean, two captured, and several others that were cut off by Lu Ye are awaiting repair. Lu Ye plans to deploy two of them at both ends of the Insect Path.
"Well, I thank Junior Brother in advance." Qin Yi made a graceful bow.
Although she knew Lu Ye would not refuse, his agreement was so straightforward that it made Qin Yi very grateful.
The senior brothers from the four galaxies probably could never imagine how terrifying the Jade Conch’s foundation is now; the Zixuan battalion they considered unstoppable was completely defeated by Jade Conch in one battle.
Qin Yi can almost foresee their shocked and astonished expressions when she returns and informs them of everything here.
That would certainly be interesting...
