Haitang was obviously very weak at the moment. She had fallen into the ghost ship a few months earlier than Lu Ye, and her physical body had been trapped inside, her foundation constantly fading away.
Strictly speaking, the Haitang that Lu Ye saw on the ghost ship was not her true body, but the manifestation of her Soul Avatar.
That was why her real body had been trapped somewhere on the Specter Ship all this time, as the cycle of reincarnation continued.
Her Soul Avatar was separated from her true body, and Haitang could not control her physical body at all. Under such circumstances, she would naturally become weaker and weaker until she finally died.
What surprised Lu Ye was not her current state, but her form.
The Haitang he saw on the ghost ship looked like a normal human cultivator, but the Haitang in Lu Ye's field of vision was only the size of a palm. She looked no different from a human, but Lu Ye was sure that Haitang was definitely not a human!
There was no such small human in this world.
Of all the races that Lu Ye had seen, the smallest was undoubtedly the Fairy Race, but the Fairy Race was also the size of a baby, several sizes larger than Haitang in front of him.
Haitang's pale face squeezed out a smile. "I've embarrassed myself in front of Junior Brother, I'm from the Minion Clan of Mount Minion." "Minion Clan of Mount Minion?" Lu Ye was stunned. "But on the ghost ship, Senior Sister, you clearly …"
Haitang said, "That's also one of the rules of the ghost ship. In fact, the crew you saw should be of different races, but on the ship, they were all in the form of normal humans."
Only then did Lu Ye realize that he had been too short-sighted.
However, this was the first time Lu Ye had seen such a small person, and he was curious for a moment.
But now was not the time to be curious. Haitang's state was obviously not right. Lu Ye said with concern, "Senior Sister, please recover first!"
Saying so, he stretched out a hand and gently lifted her up, placing her on his shoulder. Haitang nodded and sat down cross-legged.
"Do you need a panacea?" Lu Ye asked.
Haitang shook her head. "The panacea of the outside world is not suitable for my Minion Clan. I have my own recovery items, so Junior Brother need not worry." Lu Ye did not ask any more questions. Thinking about it, the panacea he used here was almost half the size of Haitang's head. How could she consume it?
Hug and gnaw on it? That was too unsightly.
While Haitang was recovering, Lu Ye began to investigate the surroundings to determine the direction of the Nine Prefectures.
The time spent on the Specter Ship was not long, about ten days at most, so they should not have gone far.
After observing the Sun and finding Venus in the vast starry sky, Lu Ye determined the position of the Nine Prefectures with a little deduction. Then, he moved his body and stepped on the path back.
This was the first time he had left the Nine Prefectures and set foot in the starry sky. He had encountered so many things.
Lu Ye sorted it out a little. It seemed that the first three months were peaceful. Other than searching for spiritual jades, he was exploring. After that, he encountered a large group of star beasts and killed them. When he was about to return, he met Feng Rumo. Then, he found the Specter Ship under his guidance.
He had always thought that the starry sky around the Nine Regions would be silent. After all, Yang Qing had said before that the Nine Regions were relatively remote.
But from the looks of it now, even though it was remote, it would still be lively sometimes.
All kinds of wandering creatures or creatures in the starry sky might drift to the Nine Prefectures at any time.
Lu Ye controlled his speed within the range that he could control and left a part of his mind to monitor the surroundings to make sure that he would not crash into something while flying. Only then did Lu Ye immerse his mind and investigate his body.
When he left the Specter Ship, a large amount of fog surged into his body. Although the Talent Tree did not have any abnormal reaction and the fog said that this was a benefit, Lu Ye did not dare to be careless before he found out what this benefit was.
His Divine Sense scanned every inch of his flesh and blood, but found nothing unusual. This was very strange …
Since there was nothing unusual with his physical body, Lu Ye checked his Divine Sea.
Sure enough, he found something wrong. Originally, there were only traces of the Soul Suppressing Tower in his Divine Sea, but now, as far as the eye could see, there was a broken ship sailing in the sea.
The shape of the broken ship was exactly the same as the Specter Ship!
It was impossible for the Specter Ship to come to his Divine Sea. Lu Ye had already watched it leave. If that was the case, then what was the Specter Ship here?
Lu Ye manifested his Spirit Avatar and flew onto the Specter Ship.
In an instant, all kinds of mysteries lingered in his mind. Lu Ye closed his eyes and focused on comprehending. A moment later, he opened his eyes, which shone brightly.
What the fog said at the end was right, this was indeed a great gift!
The Specter Ship in the Divine Sea could be considered a brand of the Specter Ship's body. It had some of the Specter Ship's characteristics and rules. Of course, it was not as powerful as the real Specter Ship.
And this thing could be used for the battle of the spirit.
For Lu Ye, now that he had stepped into the starry sky, he would inevitably have to face some experts that he could not defeat. The chaos in the starry sky was not something the Nine Prefectures could compare to.
In the Nine Prefectures, cultivators would not encounter an enemy whose cultivation level was much higher than theirs. Spirit Stream Realm cultivators and Cloud River Realm cultivators were both in the same cultivation level. Even if they advanced to the True Lake Realm and joined the Prefecture Guards of the various prefectures, the Divine Sea Realm cultivators would still restrict each other. True Lake Realm cultivators would not be bullied by the Divine Sea Realm cultivators. Even if they were bullied, the Divine Sea Realm cultivators on their side would quickly stand up for them.
However, the starry sky was different. There were no restrictions. For example, Yue Xin had directly forced his way into the Nine Prefectures and wanted to enslave the land of the Nine Prefectures. If Yang Qing had not killed him, the cultivators of the Nine Prefectures would have been reduced to slaves.
Another example was Feng Rumo, whom Lu Ye had encountered previously. If the other party was a bloodthirsty person, Lu Ye would not have been able to survive.
Wandering in the starry sky depended on one's strength and luck. No matter how strong one was, if one was unlucky and encountered an expert that he could not match, he could only admit that he was unlucky.
One's cultivation level had to be raised bit by bit. There were not many tricks to this, but there were many strange methods to protect the spirit.
The Soul Suppressing Pagoda in Lu Ye's Spirit Sea was one of them.
When one's cultivation reached the Constellation Realm, one would have all kinds of wonderful methods to protect the spirit. Most of them relied on treasures or cultivated special spirit secret techniques.
However, for Lu Ye, the Soul Suppressing Pagoda was only a passive means of defense. It could only ensure the stability of Lu Ye's spirit, and it could not even prevent the invasion of the enemy's spirit. However, the Specter Ship's brand that he had obtained now was a means to take the initiative to attack!
In the future, if he encountered an enemy that he could not match in terms of physical strength, or if a powerhouse started a battle of the spirit, the Specter Ship's brand could play a role.
All kinds of mysteries about the ship lingered in his mind. Lu Ye shouted, "Everyone, take your positions!"
As his voice fell, the originally tattered hull of the ship was restored to its intact appearance. Then, on the deck, there were many illusory figures. Looking at the appearance of these figures, it was surprisingly Qin Zong and the other crew members.
Outside the Specter Ship's treasury, the last thick fog that poured into Lu Ye's body was formed after Qin Zong and the others disappeared. Therefore, the Specter Ship here also had their brand, allowing Lu Ye to control it at will.
In other words, if Lu Ye had a battle of the spirit with someone else, it would not be just a battle of the spirit. Lu Ye could control the Specter Ship and lead his crew to catch the enemy off guard.
It was clearly a simple battle of the spirit, but Lu Ye had brought out a treasure ship … Just thinking about that scene was terrifying. Who knew what kind of expression the enemy would have when the time came!
Now in the Spirit Sea, there was the Soul Suppressing Pagoda for defense and the Specter Ship for offense. There was both offense and defense. After driving the Specter Ship recklessly in the Spirit Sea for a while, Lu Ye withdrew from the Spirit Sea.
Overall, he was very satisfied with the benefits bestowed by the fog. Moreover, from the fog's words, he was probably the only person who had received such benefits since ancient times. In the past, even if a cultivator passed the test of the Specter Ship, they basically took a treasure from the treasury and left.
In comparison, the value of the Specter Ship in the Spirit Sea was not inferior to any of the treasures in the treasury. This thing could turn defeat into victory at a critical moment.
What was the most important thing in a cultivator's cultivation? Staying alive was the most important thing. As long as one was alive, there was hope.
In this way, his previous determination to take Haitang away was somewhat unintentional.
To be honest, he was also very reluctant to give up the treasures in the treasury. The things in there were indeed precious and rare, but compared to his final choice, it was nothing.
If he really only took one treasure out, Lu Ye would feel guilty from then on. He sped all the way.
After a full month, Haitang's condition improved slightly. Although she was still weak, at least her condition had stabilized. Next, as long as she calmed down and cultivated, she would slowly recover.
Haitang got up from Lu Ye's shoulder, looked at his profile, and bowed with a sincere expression. "Junior Brother Lu, thank you for taking me out of the sea of suffering. Haitang will always remember this kindness!"
Lu Ye smiled. "Senior Sister Haitang is too serious. In fact, I should thank you. If it weren't for your last effort, I wouldn't have been able to pass the test of the Specter Ship. If that was the case, you and I would probably be relying on each other on the Specter Ship, holding hands and crying."
At the end of the nineteenth reincarnation war, Lu Ye drove the Specter Ship to crash into the last enemy ship. He failed to kill it in one blow. When the enemy ship's array buzzed and shone brightly, Haitang controlled the attack array in time and gave the enemy ship a fatal blow. Only then could Lu Ye pass the test.
From this point of view, Lu Ye was greatly indebted to Haitang.
Hearing his interesting words, Haitang couldn't help but laugh. "No matter what, Haitang's life was given to me by Junior Brother Lu. In the future, if Junior Brother needs anything, I will do everything!"
She said seriously. Lu Ye waved his hand. "You saved me, and I saved you. We can be considered to have helped each other. It's not like we owe each other anything. Moreover, I chose to take Senior Sister away, but it's not completely without benefits. The benefits I get are no less than the treasures in the treasury."
