Free Web NovelChapter 2063: Chapter 2061: Ma Bin’s Guidance
Lu Ye had not progressed in cultivation for countless years, and it was only in recent years that the bottleneck binding him showed a sliver of loosening. This was clearly related to the arrival of the great momentum mentioned by Lu Ye.
After some thought, Ma Bin said, "Although I’ve never heard of this so-called great momentum, I know there are quite a few top-level Sun Blaze stars in this stellar space who, when their own cultivation cannot advance, practice some special methods. It is said these methods are for preparing for some future opportunity, but throughout history, despite many using such methods, they have never truly proven useful."
Lu Ye understood that he was referring to things like the doppelganger and Inner Core Technique.
Take Su Yuqing and Chen Xuanhai, for example, they also didn’t know about the arrival of the great momentum. The reason they refined their inner core and talisman sword was merely in preparation for some future opportunity—a notion passed down through ancient texts. As for what this opportunity entailed, they were unclear.
Many predecessors had engaged in these practices before them.
"I’ll be attentive to such matters, and if I find any concrete information, I’ll come back and tell you," Ma Bin said.
"Thank you, senior," Lu Ye responded.
"By the way, over at Three Worlds Island, they’re purchasing a lot of fire-type resources. You need them for your cultivation, right?" Ma Bin recalled another matter. Although he had been healing in seclusion within the Spirit Jade Vein, he had kept a close eye on Three Worlds Island, so it wasn’t surprising that he knew about this.
Others didn’t know what Lu Ye needed so many fire-type resources for, but he did. During Chao Nian’s cultivation, a large amount of fire-type resources was also required, evidently because of the Dao Tree.
"Yes," Lu Ye nodded.
"If you need them in the future and the resources from the All Phenomena Ocean aren’t enough, venture to the Hengyue Galaxy; you might find some gains there."
"Hengyue Galaxy?" Lu Ye pondered. He had never heard of this galaxy’s name and, even on All Phenomena Ocean, there were no Spirit Islands named after this galaxy, indicating its foundation might not be strong.
"That’s the galaxy where the former Nine Provinces was located. After the Nine Provinces vanished, they changed the name."
Ma Bin left. He didn’t even use the Insect Path to return to the All Phenomena Ocean but flew directly into the depths of stellar space. When Lu Ye would see him again, he did not know.
However, the matters Ma Bin mentioned left Lu Ye perplexed.
Information from the Blood Jade World revealed that under the great momentum’s arrival, the Insect and Blood Races would gain tremendous benefits, even having the chance to dominate stellar space, which undoubtedly meant disaster for all other races.
But in fact, Ma Bin had felt a subtle loosening of his bottleneck, and this loosening would undoubtedly become more apparent as the great momentum progressed. Someday, Ma Bin’s cultivation might even achieve a breakthrough.
Ma Bin wasn’t the only supreme powerful one in this stellar space.
In such a perspective, could the arrival of the great momentum not be entirely a bad thing? For cultivators like Ma Bin, who had stagnated for years, it might be a tremendous blessing.
Lu Ye went back to Mount Fangcun once more and found Chen Xuanhai to inquire about his situation.
In Lu Ye’s perspective, Chen Xuanhai should be of the same level as Ma Bin. Shouldn’t Chen Xuanhai share the same sensations as Ma Bin?
However, after a round of communication, Lu Ye discovered that Chen Xuanhai’s situation was different from Ma Bin’s. In terms of cultivation, they were indeed on the same level, having reached the limit of stellar space, unable to progress further.
But Ma Bin had already established his Dao foundation, whereas Chen Xuanhai was still striving for this step. So even if their cultivations were the same, Ma Bin would be significantly stronger if it came to a fight.
Across the entire stellar space, there might not be many who had forged their own Dao foundation. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
Lu Ye once asked Ma Bin about the Dao foundation because Ma Bin’s injuries were Dao foundation-related, requiring recuperation in the Spirit Jade Vein.
Thus, he had a vague understanding of the Dao foundation, but it was only now that he truly realized how difficult it was for a cultivator to forge their own Dao foundation.
Upon leaving Mount Fangcun again, Lu Ye returned to Three Worlds Island after half a day.
He immediately summoned Old Tang.
Moments later, He Baichuan came to Lu Ye’s short-stay palace and spoke with him.
Lu Ye was shocked: "What? Old Tang went into seclusion? What could he be in seclusion for at his age?"
He Baichuan smiled: "Island Master, you may not know, but Elder Tang had some sudden realizations a few months ago and said he might be able to break through. So he hurriedly went into a state of seclusion and hasn’t emerged since."
Lu Ye was dumbfounded: "Old Tang is breaking through? Are you sure?"
Old Tang’s potential had long been exhausted. When he arrived at the All Phenomena Ocean back then, he was at the Moon Jade Mid-Stage, and he remains at the Moon Jade Mid-Stage even now. He himself was aware of this, so he’d never put effort into cultivation over these years. Instead, he diligently helped Lu Ye manage Three Worlds Island, conscientiously and tirelessly.
Yet what He Baichuan told him today was that Old Tang was in seclusion and might break through his shackles. How could Lu Ye not be astonished?
When Veteran Tang went into seclusion, he handed over the affairs of Three Worlds Island to He Baichuan.
Currently, the Nine Provinces control the four top-class Spirit Islands in the All Phenomena Ocean. Jiu Yan is stationed on All Phenomena Island, Su Yuqing is on Mount Fangcun, and Luan Xiao’e and Yann Miao are on Winged Heaven Island, now renamed to Merfolk Island. The long-lost Merfolk Race has reappeared before the world.
The Teleportation Arrays between the four Spirit Islands have been fully constructed, allowing for seamless interaction. With these islands supporting one another and Little Fella as a stellar space supreme treasure for deterrent, the Nine Provinces’ dominion over All Phenomena Ocean is unbreakable.
At the moment, Lu Ye was talking with He Baichuan when he suddenly looked outside, sensing a familiar aura rapidly approaching.
In a moment, the figure of Tang Jun appeared, plopping down heavily on a chair beside He Baichuan with a heavy sigh.
Lu Ye looked at him in confusion, "Weren’t you supposed to be in seclusion? Why are you out?"
Tang Jun sighed again, "Seclusion failed. Can’t you see such a simple thing?"
Lu Ye looked at him suspiciously, "Are you trying to slack off, or were you really planning to go into seclusion?"
Tang Jun, with a huff, said, "What do you mean slack off? For years, I’ve worked tirelessly for our Three Worlds Island, dedicating myself without knowing how much I’ve sacrificed. Look at how white my hair has become. Is this how you see me? Apologize to me, you rascal!"
"Veteran Tang, I’m sorry, I misunderstood you," Lu Ye promptly apologized.
Tang Jun then grunted, "That’s more like it."
"Do you really feel it?" Lu Ye looked at him curiously; a breakthrough signal in an old cultivator whose potential is exhausted was clearly unusual.
Tang Jun nodded seriously, "I do feel it, but the time hasn’t come yet, and... as time passes, this feeling grows stronger. I can assure you, if this continues for a few more years, I can definitely break through my own shackles!"
He Baichuan said, "Actually, it’s not just Elder Tang. I recently paid special attention to the situation outside. Not to mention this island, but even other Spirit Islands have many cultivators like Elder Tang feeling the same."
"Also," Tang Jun gazed at Lu Ye, "since you haven’t been around All Phenomena Ocean lately, you might not know that Yuquan Island has promoted to a top-class Spirit Island."
"Yuquan Island..." Lu Ye thought for a moment and immediately remembered this Spirit Island.
This Spirit Island is quite famous in All Phenomena Ocean for being a rather well-founded high-class Spirit Island.
Last time, Old Tang told him that several barren islands in the All Phenomena Ocean had come to life, which wasn’t as frequent in the past. Now, a high-class Spirit Island like Yuquan Island has been promoted to a top-class Spirit Island, which is quite a big event in the All Phenomena Ocean.
The then Unparalleled Island, now Three Worlds Island, transformed from a barren island to a top-class Spirit Island, but that was due to the Small Constellation Palace’s operation, not an autonomous change, whereas Yuquan Island’s promotion is.
"There’s news from Sifang Island that the island’s Spiritual Energy is gradually becoming dense. Perhaps after a few years, it can also become a top-class Spirit Island. Many Spirit Islands undergoing such changes in the All Phenomena Ocean are all turning towards positive transformation," He Baichuan spoke.
Lu Ye’s mind was awash with thoughts. These changes are undoubtedly related to the descent of the cosmic influence, even the breakthrough opportunities felt by Veteran Tang.
From this perspective, the arrival of the grand momentum is not entirely a bad thing.
Though Veteran Tang’s seclusion failed this time, the future is uncertain. Tang’s transformation is just a microcosm of millions upon millions of cultivators, illustrating how immensely the cosmic influence affects the entire stellar space.
"There’s something I need you to do," Lu Ye looked at Tang Jun and He Baichuan, then explained the perspective of the Insect Race regarding the cosmic influence, emphasizing the plot of the Insect and Blood Races, and instructed them to find ways to spread it.
The Insect and Blood Races wish to act covertly, so under no circumstances can they be allowed to succeed. Given how fast information spreads in the All Phenomena Ocean, it probably won’t be long before this conspiracy becomes known throughout the stellar space. By then, no matter what schemes the Insect and Blood Races have, countless eyes will be watching them.
Upon hearing this, the two wore grave expressions and hurriedly began networking to spread the news.
A day later, in the short-stay palace, Lu Ye’s Talent Tree Avatar sat cross-legged, holding a fire gourd in hand, surrounded by a heap of storage rings collected from Three Worlds Island during recent times for fire-type resources.
The price of fire-type resources in the All Phenomena Ocean has been climbing steadily. Lu Ye has single-handedly changed the market in this area.
Since a part of the Talent Tree is within the Talent Tree Avatar, it can also absorb uncanny fire nurtured from the fire gourd to progress in its metamorphosis. Eventually, the original self can reclaim the avatar.
Meanwhile, Lu Ye’s original self has ventured deep into the All Phenomena Ocean, cultivating with a peaceful mind!
Even though his current cultivation efficiency is astonishing, improving in the Sun Blaze realm isn’t something that can be achieved in a short time. Naturally, it’s crucial to seize every available opportunity.
Nurturing uncanny fire requires fire-type resources, and Lu Ye’s cultivation also demands a large amount of fire-type resources. While the procurement from Three Worlds Island can supply for a short period, it becomes challenging to sustain over time.
