Lu Ye asked, "Elder, are you planning to leave the Nine Prefectures?"
Although Yang Qing had never mentioned this to him, Lu Ye could faintly sense that Yang Qing would not stay in the Nine Prefectures for long.
The current Nine Prefectures was ultimately a small pond. How could it accommodate a true dragon like Yang Qing?
Yang Qing chuckled. "Isn't this what you guys want?"
Lu Ye replied, "We didn't understand elder before and misunderstood. Yes, if elder wishes, you can continue to stay."
The Constellation stage experts of the Nine Prefectures could not figure out Yang Qing's exact attitude towards the Nine Prefectures. Hence, they could not help but be wary of him. No matter what, he had been sealed in the Spirit Stream Battlefield for ten thousand years, and it was difficult to guarantee that he would not have any resentment. If an expert like him really wanted to vent his resentment, the current Nine Prefectures would not be able to withstand it.
However, after spending some time together, Lu Ye realized that Yang Qing had no ill intentions towards the Nine Prefectures. Back then, Yang Qing had single-handedly resolved the disaster brought by Yue Xin. Later on, Yang Qing had brought Lu Ye to the Reincarnation Tree to participate in the grand event of the Alpha-Origin stage.
From his actions, Lu Ye could more or less understand Yang Qing's attitude towards the Nine Prefectures.
Taking ten thousand steps back, if an expert like Yang Qing really had any ill intentions towards the Nine Prefectures, who could stop him?
From the perspective of Zhao, if there was a character like Yang Qing in the Nine Regions, it would be a good thing that many domains could only dream of. There had already been one Yue Xin before, who knew if there would be a second, a third...
When that time came, if Yang Qing was not in the Nine Prefectures, who could stop him?
Hence, when Lu Ye realized that Yang Qing was likely to leave soon, his mentality changed a little. He would rather have Yang Qing stay in the Nine Prefectures and become its greatest protection!
Yang Qing smiled. "I am ultimately just a passerby to the Nine Prefectures. If not for that accident back then, I would have left long ago. Although the Nine Regions still exist, my old friends have all passed away. There is no reason for me to stay. What's more, I still have my own things to do. "
He turned to look at Lu Ye and said, "You humans are a very mysterious race. Don't belittle yourself too much. Since the Nine States is your home, it is also your responsibility to protect it. Relying on others will not go far. However, you don't have to worry too much. The Nine States is now located in a relatively remote location. Unless there are some accidents, very few experts will come here. I estimate that as long as you are careful enough to not expose the existence of the Nine States and not leave any traces outside, the Nine States will be safe for the next thousand years. With the growth rate of your human race, you should be able to give birth to a group of experts capable of protecting your home."
Lu Ye bowed his head. He knew that once a character like Yang Qing made a decision, it would be very difficult for outsiders to change his mind. Since he had already decided to leave, there was no point in continuing to persuade him. Bowing respectfully, he said, "Many thanks to Senior for your help during this time!"
Yang Qing waved his hand. "We each took what we needed. I hope that one day, we can meet again somewhere in the starry sky. Perhaps at that time, I will need your help!"
Lu Ye happily said, "That would be Junior's greatest honor!"
"Alright, that's all I have to say. Work hard on your cultivation." When Yang Qing finished speaking, he had already disappeared.
His method of appearing and disappearing like a ghost was undoubtedly much more brilliant than Lu Ye's use of Void Spirit Runes to teleport. Even though Lu Ye had seen it many times, he still couldn't grasp the crux of it. This wasn't just a huge gap in cultivation, but more likely a kind of mysterious use of power.
However, Lu Ye could feel that Yang Qing had not left the Nine Prefectures. He did not know what he was doing.
It was not until half a day later that Lu Ye suddenly raised his head and vaguely sensed a trace of a figure flashing in the sky outside the Nine Prefectures. He softly called out, "Little Nine!"
A ball of light condensed not far from Lu Ye and gradually turned into the appearance of a little white rabbit. It hopped in front of Lu Ye.
"Has Senior Yang left?" Lu Ye asked. Little Nine spoke in human language, "He left!"
Lu Ye was slightly surprised. "Why do you not seem very happy?"
Little Nine sighed. "It's strange. When he was around, I always felt insecure. Now that he's gone, I feel even more depressed. Lu Ye, Lu Ye, what do you think we should do if another Sunshine Realm cultivator like Yue Xin comes?"
"Don't jinx it, don't speak nonsense!" Lu Ye glared at it. "Senior Yang said that the Nine Prefectures are now in a relatively remote location. As long as we are careful enough, we won't have to worry about anything for the next thousand years."
"But it's better to be safe than sorry. What if something like that really happens? Yang Qing only said that. He can't guarantee anything."
Lu Ye said solemnly, "So we need to strengthen ourselves! I need to work hard to cultivate and increase my cultivation. As for you … Hurry up and devour the Blood Refining Realm's foundation to increase your level. Only by strengthening oneself can you be truly strong. It's unrealistic to rely on others. "
Little Nine said, "I've been devouring the Blood Refining Realm, but this kind of thing is quite time-consuming. It's not something that can be seen in a short period of time."
"Then work harder!" Lu Ye reprimanded.
Little Nine suddenly frowned, not knowing what to do to be considered as working harder!
Suddenly, a message came from the Battlefield Mark. Lu Ye checked and found that it was from Jian Gu Hong.
Previously, Jian Gu Hong and the others had asked him to find Yang Qing to find out his attitude towards the Nine Prefectures, but as a result, Lu Ye had only just arrived when Yang Qing took him to the Reincarnation Tree. This delay had lasted for three months, during which Jian Gu Hong and the others couldn't contact Lu Ye and had no idea what had happened.
It wasn't until now that they finally reconnected.
Lu Ye sent a message back to inform Jian Gu Hong of his current location.
After waiting for less than half a day, several streams of light flew over from afar. It was Jian Gu Hong and the others.
Currently, there were already several hundred Star Constellation Realm cultivators in the Nine Prefectures, mainly because the Nine Prefectures had just been promoted to a large realm, so there were too many Ninth Order Divine Sea Realm cultivators who were advancing. Almost every day, there were people breaking through to the Star Constellation Realm. This was a scene that every newly promoted large realm would experience.
As time passed, this rate of advancement would gradually stabilize. When the time came, there would be an endless stream of Divine Sea Realm cultivators advancing to the Star Constellation Realm. It wouldn't be like the current round after round.
Basically, all the Star Constellation Realm cultivators were exploring the Starry Sky in search of Spirit Jades for cultivation. They didn't go too far and were mostly scattered within a month's journey from the Nine Prefectures. This way, if anything happened in the Nine Prefectures, they could rush back as soon as possible to provide support.
Everyone, go quickly and give it a try.]
Of course, this also had to do with the fact that the Nine Prefectures had just been connected to the Starry Sky. Cultivators had just begun to explore the Starry Sky, so they didn't dare to go too far, lest they accidentally got lost and couldn't find the way back.
Most of the Star Constellation Realm cultivators were exploring the Starry Sky. Only Jian Gu Hong and a few others stayed behind, mainly because of Yang Qing. Even if they were weak in front of Yang Qing, as a member of the most powerful group of cultivators in the Nine Prefectures, they had the obligation and responsibility to stay behind and protect.
When they met, Jian Gu Hong immediately asked, "What's the situation?"
Lu Ye said, "Senior Yang has already left."
Jian Gu Hong was stunned. "Left?"
Lu Ye nodded. "He has already left the Nine Prefectures and may not come back in the future."
Jian Gu Hong and the others couldn't help but fall silent. They didn't expect that the problem that had worried them for such a long time would be solved so easily. However, because Yang Qing left so decisively, they felt that it was a pity, because in this way, they could be sure that Yang Qing really didn't have any malice towards the Nine Prefectures.
With such a powerhouse leaving, the Nine Prefectures would have no protection. If an evil guest like Yue Xin came again, the Nine Prefectures would have to rely on their own ability to resist.
After all, human nature was complicated. When Yang Qing was here, the Star Constellation Realm cultivators were on tenterhooks, fearing that he would harm the Nine Prefectures. Now that he had left just like that, they couldn't help but feel that they were measuring the heart of a gentleman with the yardstick of a villain.
After a long time, Jian Gu Hong said, "Let him leave. The Nine Prefectures are the Nine Prefectures of the Human Race. In the future, the safety of the domain will have to rely on ourselves to protect it."
Lu Ye nodded. "Senior's words are reasonable, so we have to cultivate well in the future and improve our cultivation as soon as possible."
Wu Chang asked curiously, "Kid, you suddenly disappeared for more than three months. Where did you go? We can't contact you.
”
Lu Ye said, "Senior Yang took me to a place called the Reincarnation Tree to participate in a grand event that gathered thousands of domains!"
These words piqued everyone's interest. Wu Chang's eyes even widened. "A grand event that gathered thousands of domains?
”
The cultivators of the Nine Regions were only in contact with the Blood Refining World and the Wushuang Continent. Although everyone now knew that there were many realms in the vast Starry Sky, it was hard to imagine what kind of scene it would be to gather thousands of realms. They didn't know what kind of magnificent scene it would be.
Seeing that everyone was interested, Lu Ye briefly explained the cause and effect of the matter.
After learning that the seemingly lifeless little tree in front of them was actually the clone of a Connate supreme treasure, even the calm and collected individuals could not help but click their tongues in wonder.
When they heard Lu Ye talk about the scene where thousands of domain experts gathered at the Reincarnation Tree, they could not help but yearn for it.
When they heard about the wonders and mysteries of the various races, their hearts became increasingly itchy.
Finally, when they heard that Lu Ye had defeated all the experts of the Alpha Origin stage and taken first place, they all felt proud and smiled from ear to ear.
Wu Chang patted Lu Ye on the shoulder. "Good kid, it seems that the monsters of those domains are still inferior to our Nine Prefectures. Hahaha, well done."
Jian Gu Hong said, "Yi Ye, why didn't senior Yang let you reveal that you're from the Nine Prefectures and instead borrowed the name of the Nine Heavens?
Lu Ye said seriously, "Because we provoked many powerful enemies in the Nine Prefectures era. Although ten thousand years have passed, the hatred of those top experts and domains will not be so easily forgotten. The decline of our Nine Prefectures is also because we were too ostentatious. Therefore, when we travel the starry sky in the future, we should try not to reveal that we're from the Nine Prefectures to avoid being remembered."
