Battle merits were something that could be obtained in a sustainable manner. However, there was only one Soul Slashing Blade. How could Lu Ye know which was more important?
Now, as long as the material of the Pan Mountain Blade met the requirements, he could add more restrictions to improve its quality. This would save him the trouble of finding people to upgrade it in the future. Moreover, this blade had the ability to injure the Divine Soul. This was the rarest thing!
Lu Ye wanted to find someone to test his blade on. For a weapon cultivator like him, he was always itching to test his blade when his weapon had improved by leaps and bounds.
However, considering his current identity as Li Taibai, he could only give up.
Lin Yue was very efficient. The next day, she brought the appointment order from the Myriad Demons City. Li Taibai was appointed as the Junior Pass Lord of the Dark Moon Forest Pass to assist in guarding the pass.
Lu Ye did not check his Myriad Demons Ridge Battlefield Mark. Once it was activated, it would only last for a few hours. However, he believed that if he really checked it, there would definitely be changes to his status.
Under normal circumstances, even if Lu Ye had reached the Divine Sea Realm, he was not qualified to be the Junior Pass Lord. This was because he did not have any achievements to show and did not make any substantial contributions to the Myriad Demons Ridge. He could not even meet the requirements of a military rank.
Now that the situation in the Nine States was changing, both the Haotian Alliance and the Myriad Demons Ridge had changed some of their old rules. They were more inclined to do things at their own discretion.
Lin Yue could not do anything alone at the Dark Moon Forest Pass. Coincidentally, she caught a wild Divine Sea Realm cultivator and asked her to act as a guarantor. The Myriad Demons City naturally agreed. Now, they needed people everywhere. Although a newly promoted Divine Sea Realm cultivator was nothing, he was still a Divine Sea Realm cultivator.
Lu Ye could not help but sigh.
He was only the leader of a small team at the Haotian Alliance. He had not been heard from for two years and was even rudely dismissed. However, he was entrusted with an important task at the Myriad Demons Ridge and became the Junior Pass Lord of a pass. In the Dark Moon Forest Pass, he was only second to one person and above everyone else. Life was really unpredictable.
Of course, he also knew that this was a special situation.
"A team of cultivators encountered some trouble 400 miles east. There are Divine Sea Realm Insects there. We need you to go there."
After giving the appointment order, Lin Yue ordered Lu Ye without hesitation.
That was what the two of them at the Spirit Sea Realm had to do.
The appearance of the insect plague was a great calamity for the Nine Regions, but for many cultivators, it was a sumptuous feast. As long as they survived this great calamity, they could continuously obtain military merits and quickly improve their cultivation. This was an opportunity that they had never had before.
Therefore, whether it was the Haotian Alliance or the Myriad Demons Ridge, many cultivators were trying their best to kill the insects. Firstly, it was to protect the stability of the Nine Regions. Secondly, it was for themselves.
Most of the cultivators in the Dark Moon Forest Pass were scattered outside, looking for insectoids to kill. The few who stayed behind were either resting or recuperating. They would leave soon.
This was impossible in the past. After all, the Shocking Waves Lake Pass of the Haotian Alliance was just a thousand miles away. If their own defensive power became weak, it would be easy for the enemy to take advantage of them.
However, under the influence of the current situation, both sides had tacitly stopped their large-scale attacks. Hence, even though Dark Moon Forest Pass's defense was weak, they did not have to worry about being ambushed by Shocking Waves Lake Pass.
Of course, small scale conflicts were unavoidable. As the Spirit Sea Realm cultivators guarding the pass, they did not have to take action under normal circumstances. However, if their subordinates discovered a Spirit Sea Realm insectoid and were unable to deal with it, they would need to take action to kill it.
It was also because of this that Lin Yue was extremely tired recently. In name, she was the Great Mountain Pass's Lord and enjoyed boundless glory. However, in reality, she was running around saving people.
Now that she finally found a strong man, she naturally needed Lu Ye to take care of it.
Firstly, she really needed to rest. Secondly, she wanted to test Lu Ye's strength.
When Li Tai Bai was at the Third-Order True Lake Realm, he could instantly kill a Seventh-Order True Lake Realm cultivator. She once thought that he was a rising star who could rival Sect Exterminating Ye. Now that he had reached the Spirit Sea Realm, his strength was definitely not weak. Dealing with a Spirit Sea Realm insectoid shouldn't be a problem.
Lu Ye could only obey the Great Mountain Pass's Lord's orders.
Furthermore, even without this order, he had to make a trip out.
He could not stay at the Dark Moon Forest Pass forever.
Without any delay, a streak of sword light shot out. Lu Ye had already shot into the air, heading east.
After reaching the Spirit Sea Realm, his flying speed had increased by a lot. Not to mention, Lu Ye was now flying on his sword.
Along the way, there were occasionally insectoids blocking his path. His figure did not stop. The Sword Gourd at his waist slashed out with Sword Qi, cutting the insectoids in half. Their corpse blood splattered everywhere.
A few hundred kilometres was covered in a short time. Looking down from the sky, a large number of insectoids were gathered below. These insectoids looked like spiders, but only in terms of shape.
This was because the most obvious sign of the insectoids was the thick shell on their bodies. No matter what form they were in, it was the same.
Ordinary spiders did not have such a shell.
These insectoid insectoids were not small. Each of them was the size of a baby. They crawled quickly on the ground, spitting out spider silk from their mouths.
A group of more than ten people was surrounded in the middle, unable to advance or retreat.
These people were not weak. Most of them were in the True Lake Realm. A few of them were in the Cloud River Realm. Under normal circumstances, even if they could not defeat these insectoids, escaping would not be a problem. However, a giant spider web in the sky cut off their hopes of escape.
There was a house-sized insectoid insectoid crawling on the spider web. Its entire body emitted a ferocious aura. Some cultivators had already been killed and were being eaten by this insectoid insectoid.
In this situation, it was obvious that a large insectoid insectoid had brought its offspring out to hunt. In the end, it bumped into this group of cultivators.
The small spiders were in charge of surrounding the cultivators, not giving them any chance to escape. The large spider was in charge of feasting.
When Lu Ye arrived, the defensive perimeter of the cultivators was less than three hundred feet away. It could be said that they were in danger. On the spider web, the large spider had also finished eating the cultivators and was about to move on to another target.
It seemed like this insectoid was quite particular. It knew how to trap its prey here so that it could eat fresh ones at any time.
As if sensing Lu Ye's aura, the insectoid instincts made the large spider raise its compound eyes to look in Lu Ye's direction. Then, its mouthpart squirmed and a strand of spider silk shot towards Lu Ye.
The trapped cultivators also saw Lu Ye. One of them shouted, "Hold on, someone is coming to save us!"
As soon as he said that, the spider silk suddenly turned into a spider web and tightly wrapped around Lu Ye.
The face of the cultivator who shouted turned green. He did not recognize Lu Ye, nor did he know the background of this Divine Ocean Realm cultivator. He only felt that this guy was too impulsive. As a Divine Ocean Realm cultivator, he rashly approached the battlefield. Now that he was trapped, he would most likely die. One had to know that the spider silk was poisonous!
However, just as this thought flashed through his mind, a ball of fire suddenly appeared in mid-air.
The fire rolled and retracted. Lu Ye's figure reappeared. The spider web that wrapped around him was also burned clean.
Then, there was the clear sound of a sword chime. A few sword lights flew out from the sword gourd as if someone was waving a brush in the air. The sword lights turned into streaks of light and crossed the space where the big spider was.
Calligraphy Sword Art!
This was the sword dao inheritance from the Soaring Dragon Realm. Lu Ye had taught it to Li Baxian, so he could use it himself. Under the Soaring Dragon Realm's Origin Imprint, he had an extremely strong sword cultivation foundation. Now that he had used the Calligraphy Sword Art, even if the Sword Master of the North Profound Sword Sect came, he would have to praise him as a good sword cultivator! The shell on the large spider's body did not provide it with any protection. As Lu Ye's cultivation increased, the power of the sword gourd also increased greatly.
Sword cultivators were known for their killing. Under these sword lights, the large spider's body immediately stiffened. However, the sword lights did not stop. Under Lu Ye's control, they flew into the swarm of insects.
As they passed by silently, many insectoids fell one after another. When the sword lights slowly dissipated, the large encirclement had been cleared out. The small spiders were dead or injured.
The large spider hanging in the spider web in the sky was also torn apart at this moment. Corpse blood spilled everywhere.
The dozen or so cultivators were all shocked. They all used their methods to push out.
The death of the large spider had a great impact on the small spiders. They became chaotic, and the more they attacked, the less of a threat they would pose to the cultivators.
Lu Ye strolled in the sky casually. Occasionally, a sword light would shoot out from the sword gourd.
However, he could clearly see that the dozen or so people below did not seem to be in the same group. Originally, they were trapped and could still gather together when they were in danger. However, as the biggest danger was eliminated, the group of people split into two groups.
Lu Ye immediately understood that some of them were cultivators from the Myriad Demons Ridge. The other group should be from the Grand Heaven Alliance.
It was not new for cultivators from the two factions to work together. In some of the secret realms in the Cloud River Battlefield, there were precedents of cultivators from the two factions working together.
The Great Genetic Age.
However, that was because of the circumstances. In the Land of the Nine States, it was very rare to see such a thing.
With more than ten people working together and Lu Ye supporting them from the side, all the insects were killed in the time it took to burn a stick of incense.
The two groups of people were panting, but they looked at Lu Ye in the sky cautiously and anxiously.
The cultivators from the Grand Heaven Alliance did not know who he was, and the few cultivators from the Myriad Demons Ridge did not know who he was either.
Lu Ye was too lazy to explain. He said casually, "Why are we still here? Are we waiting for the insects to counterattack?"
The battle just now had caused quite a commotion. If there were any insects nearby, they would definitely be attracted.
The two leaders of the two groups quickly bowed. "Thank you for saving us, sir!"
There was no need to figure out Lu Ye's background. Looking at his attitude, no matter which faction he was from, he had no intention of making things difficult for them.
The two groups of people flew off in different directions and soon disappeared from sight.
Lu Ye continued to move forward. He flew for another hundred miles before he pressed down on the sword light and flew into a crack in the ground below.
After the great change in the Land of the Nine States, there were many such cracks in the ground. The insects crawled out from these cracks.
