In just one incense stick's worth of time, the strange burning sensation in his abdomen disappeared and the energy contained in the spirit jade was exhausted. Lu Ye revealed a contemplative expression.
After various tests, he could confirm one thing.
Currently, it was not suitable for him to directly swallow spirit jades. He could only rely on the Talent Tree to increase his cultivation efficiency to a limited extent.
Of course, even if it was limited, it was still ten times more efficient than normal cultivators. This undoubtedly meant that as long as he had sufficient resources, he could grow even faster.
The Talent Tree had never disappointed anyone before.
This was good. When his cultivation base gradually improved, he could continue to adjust his cultivation efficiency. One day, he would be able to consume Spirit Jades like he did Spirit Stones without worrying about wasting the energy of the Spirit Jades.
However, when that day came, Lu Ye estimated that his cultivation would have reached the Moon Jade Realm. That should be a long time in the future.
"Xiao Jiu!" Lu Ye softly called.
This time, Xiao Jiu did not appear. Only a voice came, "What is it?" "Tian Ji Pillar!"
Jian Guhong had reminded him that every cultivator who ascended to a constellation could obtain a Tian Ji Pillar before leaving the Nine Provinces. It could be used to communicate with the Nine Provinces in the starry sky.
Xiao Jiu did not mention this and Lu Ye did not know. However, since he was going to leave, he naturally had to take one with him. The space in front of him slightly distorted and a small Tian Ji Pillar appeared out of thin air. Lu Ye reached out and grabbed it.
Xiao Jiu's voice came, "Keep it close to your body. Do not put it in your storage bag or storage ring. When you use it, just inject your spirit energy into it. However, the further it is, the weaker the connection with the Nine Provinces. Be careful."
"Got it!" Lu Ye rummaged through his storage ring and found a rope. It was not an ordinary rope. He did not know what material it was made of. It was quite sturdy and he did not know when he had obtained it.
He tied the Tian Ji Pillar to his neck and hid it in his clothes. He stood up and walked out of the bamboo house.
His divine sense swept out and found Shui Yuan's position. He sent a message and soared into the sky!
He had already tried what he needed to try and said goodbye. Everything was ready. It was time to see the wonders of the starry sky.
His body continued to grow taller. Three thousand feet, ten thousand feet, a hundred thousand feet. Soon, he reached a height he had never reached before.
When he was at the Spirit Sea Realm, Lu Ye once tried to fly up like this out of boredom. He wanted to see if he could fly out of the Nine Provinces.
He was not the only one who had done this. In fact, nine out of ten warriors in the Spirit Sea Realm had done this stupid thing. After all, everyone was curious about the starry sky.
However, without exception, they all flew to a certain height and could not fly any higher.
There seemed to be an invisible barrier in the sky above the Nine States, cutting off all paths of ascension. Lu Ye speculated that it was not some invisible barrier, but the limit of the Divine Sea Realm.
Before obtaining the power to connect with the starry sky, cultivators in the Spirit Sea Realm could only be regarded as cultivators in the bounded domain. They could not get rid of the fetters of the bounded domain.
Of course, teleporting with the help of the Nine Prefectures Pillar of Heavenly Secrets was an exception. However, even if they were teleported, they would only be teleported to another realm. Only when they reached the Constellation Realm and had the ability to cross the starry sky with their physical body would they have the ability to rush out of the bounded domain.
Originally, it was a cloudy day in Ao Mountain. Dark clouds covered the sky. However, when Lu Ye flew to this height, the light of the sun suddenly spread out. Looking down, the sea of clouds rolled. It was a magnificent scene. The light of the sun painted the edges of the clouds with a layer of gold. It was a magnificent scene.
As he continued to ascend, the outline of the Nine Provinces began to appear in his vision. The higher he flew, the clearer the overall scene of the Nine Provinces became.
In fact, it was not the first time Lu Ye had observed the Nine Provinces from this perspective. He had experienced this several times before.
The first time was when he returned to the Nine Provinces from the Blood Refining Realm. However, that time was probably just a look in his mind and not with his eyes, so it was not as shocking as it was now.
The second time was when Yang Qing took him directly from the Spirit Stream Battlefield to the Nine Provinces. That time, it was a hurried trip and he did not see much.
This time, it was different. This time, he truly relied on his own ability to fly out of the Nine Provinces. Standing in the starry sky, he looked at his homeland.
The entire Nine Provinces was a round sphere. The layer of air around the sphere reflected the light of the sun. It was gorgeous and colorful. The surface of the sphere was blue. Lu Ye suspected that it was the sea.
Any cultivator who had just entered the starry sky would be mesmerized by such a scene.
Near the celestial bodies of the Nine Regions, there was a floating Blood Refining Realm. Its appearance did not seem to have changed. It looked like a female creature whose head and limbs had been cut off. It looked like a huge corpse lying on the side of the Nine Regions.
Comparing the two celestial bodies, the Nine Provinces was undoubtedly much more beautiful.
There were also floating continents of various sizes that surrounded the Nine Provinces. They showed a very rhythmic rotation. Those were the Spirit Stream Battlefield, the Cloud River Battlefield, and many other secret realms.
Since the Nine Provinces moved here and settled down, Little Nine's intelligence was born. Like a garbage collector, it picked up the broken celestial bodies and floating continents that drifted near the Nine Provinces. It was this garbage that became the active stage for the cultivators of the Nine Provinces today. It also allowed the cultivators to obtain many benefits.
In fact, if one really calculated it this way, Little Nine played an indelible role in the recovery of the Nine Provinces. Not only in the past, but also in the future. The fact that the Nine Provinces could become a large domain that could rapidly grow was all thanks to Little Nine.
In the previous Nine Provinces era, a huge amount of manpower, material, and energy was spent to refine the Heaven's Fate Plate. In the end, it still preserved the legacy of this domain.
It was hard to imagine how powerful the enemies of the previous Nine Provinces era were, forcing those experts to make the decision to move their homeland.
But this was not something Lu Ye could worry about. The previous Nine Provinces era had passed. Now, it was the later Nine Provinces era, the era of the Constellation Realm cultivators!
When he went out, as long as he was careful and did not expose his origin in the Nine Provinces, he probably would not provoke those old enemies. After all, who would have the time to investigate the background of a strange cultivator?
Taking out the star map and comparing it, Lu Ye found that his direction was wrong.
In the Guardian Palace of the Tian Continent's Spirit Peak, Lu Ye told Jian Guhong the direction he wanted to explore. But at this moment, his position was not in the radiation range of this direction, but on the other side.
This was a lack of experience. If he really had a lot of experience, Lu Ye would have used the Heaven's Fate Pillar to teleport to the corresponding position and then rushed into the starry sky.
Fortunately, it did not matter too much. This trip was to familiarize Lu Ye with the starry sky, so there was no harm in running more. Immediately, he urged his spiritual power and flew in that direction.
Soon, Lu Ye found that flying in the starry sky was different from flying in the domain.
Flying in the domain, one could feel resistance. That was the resistance of the wind. The faster one flew, the greater the resistance. Therefore, the higher one's cultivation, the faster one could fly. This was because one could urge more profound spiritual power to resist the oncoming resistance.
But in the starry sky, there was no resistance at all. Lu Ye only needed to spend a little spiritual power to obtain a very good flying speed.
After obtaining such a speed, even if he did not urge his spiritual power, he could still maintain this speed.
With a thought, didn't this mean that if he constantly urged his spiritual power, he could achieve almost unlimited speed? What kind of scene would that be?
Out of curiosity, Lu Ye immediately tried to increase his speed.
Facts proved that he was right. Under the effect of spiritual power, his speed almost showed an explosive growth, getting faster and faster.
There was no sound of wind, only the feeling of lightning. Moreover, he was in the starry sky, and there were no particularly obvious references around him. Therefore, even though Lu Ye knew that his speed was already very fast, his perception still didn't feel anything.
It was not until a huge meteorite suddenly appeared in front of him that Lu Ye suddenly realized that something was wrong.
He wanted to change his direction, but because his speed was too fast, he could not change it in time. In the end, he dangerously brushed against the edge of the meteorite.
Without a sound, the meteorite split into many pieces and flew off in different directions. Lu Ye also flew off in another direction like a kite with a broken string.
After stabilizing his body with great difficulty, Lu Ye grimaced. Even if his physical body was strong, even if it was just a slight brush, under the ridiculously high speed, this collision almost caused him to suffer serious injuries.
Moving his body slightly, he only felt an incomparable pain where he had brushed against the meteorite. His five viscera and six bowels seemed to have been displaced, and he also felt a little dizzy.
Only then did Lu Ye know that flying in the starry sky, in theory, could indeed achieve almost unlimited speed, but the premise was that there should be no obstacles along the way.
The starry sky was indeed vast and empty, but in reality, there were drifting meteorites everywhere. Some of these things were large enough to be easily discovered, while others were small and lifeless, so even a cultivator's Divine Sense could easily ignore them.
Once there was an obstruction, when one's speed exceeded the limit of a cultivator's control, a collision was bound to occur, and such a collision was undoubtedly fatal.
He was lucky this time and only suffered some minor injuries. If his speed had doubled, Lu Ye estimated that he would have been smashed into a meat patty.
He was secretly afraid. It seemed that when flying in the starry sky in the future, he would have to control his speed. At the very least, it had to be within his control. Otherwise, he might not even know how he died.
This was a very valuable experience. He had to send a message to Jian Guhong and have him record it as a warning to future generations. Thinking so, Lu Ye sent a message.
A moment later, Jian Guhong replied, "I already know." Lu Ye was stunned, "Since Senior Apprentice Brother knows, why didn't you tell me?"
Jian Guhong replied, "Even if I told you, would you not try?"
