Lu Ye found that he seemed to have made a mistake. He had thought that everyone would be running around like him in the early stages of the battle for the Divine Sea.
But now that he thought about it, there might be people who would do that, but there wouldn't be too many of them. Most people would lie low and wait for an opportunity to make a move instead of exposing themselves openly.
In a battle of this level, whoever exposed themselves first would be at a disadvantage because it was easy to be targeted.
Therefore, those who dared to do so were definitely the top monsters from the top domains, the first batch of hundred people who rushed into the Alpha Origin realm!
Those Divine Sea experts from ordinary large domains definitely wouldn't have the guts to be too ostentatious.
This was probably the reason why he had only encountered three battles in the few days he had been in the Alpha Origin realm.
Except for the blood cultivator he encountered when he first entered.
The second person he encountered was a fat law cultivator. His clone encountered another person. Besides that, there was no one else.
No one else noticed.
The opponent the clone encountered was a body cultivator of an unknown race. His body was covered in exuberant hair, like a gorilla that had turned into a spirit. In terms of strength and foundation, he was almost on par with the fat law cultivator. Even though the clone controlled the sword gourd and had unparalleled sword qi, the battle was still very fierce.
Although the clone could activate all the means of the main body, Lu Ye himself was a weapon cultivator who used the blade. His attainments in the Sword Dao were all obtained by imprinting the Dragon Soaring Realm's source energy.
In the past, when his cultivation wasn't high, his attainments in the Sword Dao surpassed his understanding of the blade. But now, as his cultivation gradually increased, this gap was gradually narrowed.
This was also the reason why Lu Ye still insisted on walking his own path even after obtaining the Dragon Soaring Realm's source energy and imprinting the cultivation of many experts in the Dragon Soaring Realm.
Only one's own path could continue to develop. Even if one was strong for a while, one's achievements would ultimately be limited.
Now it seemed that his persistence back then was correct, and he didn't lose his head because of temporary gains and losses.
Therefore, at this stage, even if the main body and the clone had the same foundation, in terms of true strength, the main body was definitely stronger, while the clone was slightly inferior.
If his main body were to encounter that body cultivator of an unknown race, it would be a fierce battle, but it wouldn't be difficult for him to win. It would be nothing more than the close-quarters combat that he was most familiar with. With the Mountain Grinding Blade that had fused with the Soul Severing Blade in his hand, his main body would have a great advantage against this kind of enemy who liked to get close.
On the other hand, his doppelganger wasn't as good.
That Body Cultivator's exuberant hair was completely the most natural defense. When the Sword Qi slashed on his body, its power would often be greatly reduced. The Body Cultivator forcibly endured the unparalleled attacks of the Sword Qi and charged in front of the clone. He originally thought that he would be able to seize the advantage and end the battle with one strike, but who knew that the clone would use the Blood Sea Technique …
The body cultivator was dumbfounded.
The result was obvious. The body cultivator was trapped in the sea of blood and was unable to advance or retreat. During the intense battle, he scolded the clone. He scolded the clone for being cunning and sly, scolded the clone for being shameless …
Compared to the fat Dharma cultivator who had accepted his fate and admitted defeat, he seemed like a sore loser. He probably knew that even if he begged for mercy, the clone would not really let him go.
Cultivators who had entered the Alpha Origin stage might know that they were not strong enough and would withdraw safely, but this would never happen in a battle. Even if there was a verbal agreement between the two parties, and the victor would let the loser off the hook, would the loser really willingly withdraw? If he turned around and ran, it would be troublesome.
Therefore, it was better not to clash with each other. Once there was a conflict, it was best to kill them all. This was the safest way.
Lu Ye's main body no longer bothered to search for anything. The Alpha Origin stage was very large, and even if he searched, it would be very difficult to find anything. Thus, he let his clone wander around.
As for the main body … he had discovered a spirit jade vein!
It wasn't that he had good eyesight and immediately found the spirit jade vein, but that there were traces of someone mining here. Therefore, it was very difficult not to be discovered if one passed by nearby.
As for who had collected it, one could guess even with one's toes. It must have been done by a cultivator who had entered the Alpha Origin stage a hundred years ago, or even longer ago.
Because …
The traces left behind in the vein had been there for some time, and were definitely not recent.
Spirit jade was a cultivation resource that was exclusive to cultivators above the Constellation stage. Cultivators below the Constellation stage were unable to absorb and refine the condensation of spirit jade. It basically only existed in the starry sky or some dead stars, desolate stars. Of course, there were also top-level domains.
For example, the Nine Provinces and the Wushuang Continent, which had traces of life, would not produce spirit jade. This was because the energy that these domains absorbed from the starry sky would be digested and turned into a foundation for their growth. Naturally, there would be no condensation of spirit jade.
Dead stars and desolate stars were different. They did not have life, could not be digested, and did not need to grow. After years of accumulation, spirit jade would naturally be produced.
In the starry sky, other than the Alpha Origin stage of the Reincarnation Tree, there was no other way for the Divine Sea stage to directly obtain spirit jade.
They had all come here because they were about to advance to the Constellation stage. Although they could not use it now, they would soon be able to use it. It was better to collect some as early as possible.
Lu Ye had heard Jian Guhong and the others talk about their experience of collecting spirit jade in the starry sky. There was no difficulty, and it was nothing more than picking them up.
However, after trying it out, he discovered that things were different from what Jian Guhong and the others had described.
Because the Spirit Jades here were from the same vein, the Spirit Jades were tightly glued together. What he needed to do was to separate the Spirit Jades from their respective edges. If there was even the slightest mistake during the process, the Spirit Jades would be damaged in the slightest, and the energy contained within would quickly dissipate.
He had never come into contact with spirit jade before. Now that he had come into contact with it, he discovered that it was not actually a crystal like he had imagined. It might be very hard, but that was only the hardening of the surface. Inside, it was filled with pure, flowing energy. As a result, it could not be damaged at all during the collection process. Once it was damaged, the piece of spirit jade would be wasted.
This thing gave Lu Ye the feeling that it was like a berry. The surface was hardened, and the inside was as dense as paste.
Jian Guhong and the others found it simple because the spirit jade in the starry sky was separated into individual pieces, so they only needed to pick them up.
However, the spirit jades in the spirit jade mine were stuck together.
They were stuck together. Lu Ye needed to think of a way to separate them before he could collect them. 1
In the beginning, Lu Ye did not know this. He went all out, but in the end, he obtained very little. Most of the spirit jades were destroyed.
He had exquisite control over his own spirit power. Logically speaking, this should not be difficult. However, after figuring out the method, he discovered that it was very time-consuming.
Because the process of using spirit power to cut the spirit jade was very slow, the slightest carelessness during the process would cause damage to the surface of the spirit jade.
Therefore, he worked here for three full days and only obtained less than three hundred spirit jades.
This kind of harvest was undoubtedly a lot compared to Jian Guhong and the others' exploration in the starry sky. However, in front of him was a spirit jade mine. If he took as he pleased, the result would be very unsatisfactory.
However, this matter could not be rushed. He could only be patient and take it slowly. In any case, he had his clone wandering around outside. It would not affect his battle for the Deity Sea too much.
He now had the Three Birds. For an early stage battle record, it was already very good. If his clone was lucky, he might be able to obtain more. It would be fine for his main body to waste some time here.
Of course, Lu Ye would not stay here forever. According to Yang Qing, the A22's range of movement would be reduced every time the A22 was removed. Who knows?
At that time, this place would become a restricted area. By then, he would have to leave even if he did not want to.
While he could still stay here, he would try to collect as many spirit jades as possible. This was the most simple idea of a Deity Sea Realm cultivator from a small place.
Du Lang was like a frightened rabbit. He kept looking around while flying. He was flying very low. He was only three hundred feet above the ground.
For a Deity Sea Realm cultivator, this height was very unusual. If there was an ambush on the ground, it would be easy to be sneak attacked.
However, Du Lang had no choice. Compared to flying high, it was easier to attract attention. He had to choose a safer flying height.
He could only hope that in the beginning, everyone would be scattered and no one would coincidentally be hiding in his path.
After all, this was a very low probability event.
The reason why he was so nervous was that he did not have much time left.
He had to rush to a place, and he could not stay in that place for too long. The rules of the battle for the Deity Sea Realm did not allow it.
There was a spirit jade mine in that place. There were extremely rich spirit jade resources stored inside. Because of some special reasons, he and the domain he was in needed a large amount of spirit jade to deal with the emergency.
It was too late to count on his own elders to search the starry sky. Time waited for no one. Moreover, there were not many elders above the Constellation Realm left in his domain. In the end, Nong T had entrusted him with the M6B1N.
The reason why he knew there was a spirit jade mine there was naturally because there were elders who had mined there and left a detailed road map.
He was not lucky because he could not find a trace of familiarity in the place he appeared. Without a landmark landform to compare, the road map in his hand was completely a decoration.
His luck was not bad either. After searching for several days, he finally found a place and a road.
The landmarks on the map overlapped. In this way, Wan Zheng was clear.
According to his estimate, if everything went smoothly, he would have about a month to show his strength. Such a long time should be enough with his preparations.
After going through untold hardships, he finally arrived at the location of the spirit jade mine. It was at the foot of an inconspicuous little hill. Small hills like this could be found everywhere in the Alpha-Origin region. Therefore, if not for first impressions, no one would have thought that there was a spirit jade mine here.
The elders of his domain were only able to discover this place by chance. The inside story was not worth mentioning.
