Cultivators could cultivate anywhere in the starry sky because the starry sky energy was everywhere. However, the efficiency was very low.
Just like the cultivators of the Nine Prefectures, they could cultivate anywhere in the Nine Prefectures. However, there were not many who did so. Even the Spirit Stream Realm cultivators knew to head to the Spirit Stream Battlefield …
The cultivation environment of this reef island was much better than that of ordinary starry skies. Cultivators who did not have high requirements for their cultivation environment could definitely cultivate here. However, the efficiency was naturally not satisfactory. It was better to rely on Spirit Jades than to take Spirit Pills, but the advantage was that it was a cost-free transaction.
However, no one would do so because it was too unsafe. There were people flying above their heads all the time. Who could cultivate in peace? Especially when ordinary cultivators had to guard their minds during cultivation. It was easy for them to be ambushed.
Of course, if one was on a spiritual island occupied by a powerful force, they would not have to worry about this problem.
The ferryman, Fang Wanli, had said that some of the Spirit Islands had very rich starry sky energy and could completely satisfy the cultivation needs of cultivators in the constellation. If anyone could occupy such a Spirit Island, they would be able to save a lot of cultivation resources.
On the Wanxiang Sea, there were many such spiritual islands.
This was one of the reasons why the various forces were so keen on fighting for the ownership of spiritual islands. To them, spiritual islands were not only a place to stay, but also a cultivation resource!
There was another more important reason. There were spiritual jade mines in spiritual islands. This was something that all the forces in the four galaxies coveted.
Seventy percent of the spiritual islands occupied by the various forces had spiritual jade mines of various sizes. Only the remaining thirty percent were considered deserted islands.
In the starry sky, there were countless small and large domains. However, only the top domains could produce spiritual jade mines. How many top domains were there in the entire Star Field? Most of them were large domains. These domains did not have spiritual jade mines. However, as long as one was powerful enough, one could snatch one from them.
What made people even more envious was that every spirit jade vein here was renewable. In other words, as long as one controlled the mining speed and frequency, they would never be completely depleted. This was because these spirit jade veins originated from the Ten Thousand Elephant Sea. Unless the Ten Thousand Elephant Sea disappeared one day, these spirit jade veins would continue to exist. During the mining process, these spirit jade veins would continuously absorb the energy from the sea and condense into new spirit jades.
These things were still too far away from Lu Ye. He only came here to confirm two things.
The first was naturally the speed of cultivation.
Now that he had advanced to the middle stage of the Constellation Realm, the rate of consumption of Spiritual Jades would definitely be much faster than before. It was just unknown how much he would consume every month.
Nearly three years ago, when he had just ascended to the Constellation Realm, he had experimented with it. At that time, he had concluded that he only needed to consume 120 spirit jades per month to satisfy his cultivation needs.
Later on, as his strength slowly increased, this consumption also increased, but the increase was very small. Before his breakthrough, Lu Ye estimated that less than 200 spirit jades per month would be enough.
What he needed to do now was to figure out the consumption after advancing.
He took out two Spirit Jades and held them in his hands. As usual, he activated the power of the Talent Tree and controlled it to the fastest refining speed that he could accept. This way, he could achieve the highest cultivation efficiency and avoid wasting Spirit Jades at the same time.
Three days later, Lu Ye came to a conclusion.
Right now, he needed about four hundred pieces of Spiritual Jade every month!
The energy consumption had doubled! Furthermore, this was only the state of having just advanced. In the future, as his strength increased and the depth of his bone marrow's refinement increased, it would definitely increase.
Bitterness in secret
He only had about five hundred Spiritual Jades with him. Didn't that mean it was only enough for him to cultivate for a month? What was he going to do?
After calming himself down, he took out the twenty-four pieces of Dragon Breath Crystals that he had spent a lot of money to buy previously and activated the Talent Tree's power to absorb them, replenishing the Talent Tree's fuel reserves.
Feeling the increase in the Talent Tree's fuel reserves, he finally felt better. In the end, the Dragon Breath Crystals that were worth seven hundred and sixty pieces of Spiritual Jades were indeed worth every penny. The fire-type energy stored inside was so dense that the Earth Core Fire was not even fit to carry his shoes. There was at least a difference of a hundred times.
In this way, he did not need to worry about the Talent Tree's fuel for a short period of time.
He sat cross-legged on the reef island for a long time. Originally, he wanted to wait for the surroundings to be empty.
When the time came, he wanted to verify the second matter. In the end, he waited for a long time and did not find a suitable opportunity. There were always people flying around above his head.
He decided not to wait any longer.
He got up and walked to the reef island, staring at the deep sea in front of him.
At the same time, in mid-air not far away, two figures flew past side by side. One was a white-haired old man, and the other was a young and beautiful girl. The girl's cultivation was only at the early stage of the Constellation Realm, and her Spiritual Energy waves seemed to be unstable. It was obvious that she had just advanced to the Constellation Realm not long ago.
It was her first time here, so everything was new to her.
The old man brought her along as they flew forward, occasionally saying something to her. The girl's little head kept nodding.
Suddenly, she saw Lu Ye and pointed. "Master, look, someone wants to jump into the sea. I'm afraid there's something wrong with him!"
The old man raised his hand and slapped her arm down. He scolded, "Don't point and don't talk nonsense. The Ten Thousand Elephant Sea is formed by extremely dense starry sky energy. Although we Constellation Realms have started to absorb the starry sky energy for our own use to strengthen ourselves, there's no point in going too far. This seawater is highly toxic even to Rizhao. No one is willing to go deep into it. This is common knowledge in the Ten Thousand Elephant Sea. Unless they're crazy, who would jump into the sea? You must remember this in the future. "
"Plop …" A soft sound came from below.
The young girl said, "He's crazy!"
The old man's eyelids twitched and he quickly stopped. He really couldn't understand how there could be such a stupid person in this world.
"Master, do you want to save him?" The young girl had a worried look on her face. The old man hesitated and shook his head. "No need. This person is probably new to the Ten Thousand Elephant Sea and wants to test the mysteries of the seawater. Let's not meddle and just watch." They waited quietly, but they still didn't see the figure of the person who jumped into the sea.
After a few minutes, the old man sighed. "Let's go."
The young girl said, "Aren't we waiting?"
"No need. If he doesn't come up after such a long time, even an immortal can't save him. Even an immortal can't save him. He's definitely dead down there." If that person came up on his own earlier, he might still be alive. In the worst case scenario, his foundation would be damaged and his cultivation would drop. However, if he stayed down for a long time, he would definitely die.
Even Rizhao might not be able to last that long, let alone a young descendant who was only a Constellation Realm cultivator.
The young girl followed behind the old man. She looked back with a face full of regret. She couldn't understand why he was still so stubborn when he was already a Constellation Realm cultivator. Under the 30,000-elephant sea, Lu Ye's figure kept sinking.
As he observed, he saw large patches of dense gray fog burning in his Talent Tree. The fuel reserves that he had just replenished were being consumed rapidly.
This undoubtedly meant that too many impurities or things that were harmful to him had entered his body. Most importantly, he didn't actively absorb the energy of the surrounding seawater.
He didn't take the initiative, but the terrifying energy contained in the surrounding seawater was like leeches that smelled blood. They frantically drilled into his body.
He finally understood why no one dared to easily enter the Ten Thousand Elephant Sea.
In this place, regardless of whether you were willing or not, the energy in the seawater would enter your body. Moreover, it was much more efficient than any cultivation method. It was very easy to fill a cultivator's body with energy and then expand. In the end, it was inevitable that the cultivator would explode and die.
Along with the seawater energy entering his body, there was also a large amount of impurities … These impurities were harmful to cultivators. Perhaps there was a chance to eliminate them later, but it would inevitably cost a great price. If it couldn't be eliminated, it would damage the cultivator's foundation. Activating spiritual power to protect the body couldn't completely isolate the impurities. Even with the help of treasures, it was difficult to offset them. Therefore, even if someone entered the Ten Thousand Elephant Sea, they couldn't stay for too long.
He had the Talent Tree with him, so he didn't have to worry about his safety. However, the key was that this would consume too much of the Talent Tree's fuel. This situation was a bit like when he had entered the Blood River to cultivate in the Blood Refinement Realm. However, in comparison, the Ten Thousand Elephant Sea was undoubtedly many times more dangerous.
When he didn't have to worry about the fuel for the Talent Tree in the future, perhaps he could come here to cultivate because the efficiency of cultivating here was too high. However, he couldn't do that now. If he really used up all of the Talent Tree's fuel here, it would affect his future cultivation.
He didn't continue to sink. Although he would rush out from the bottom of the Ten Thousand Elephant Sea if he continued to sink like this, it would take a very long time. The fuel reserves he had now wouldn't be able to support him until then.
Looking up, there was only a faint light above his head. Below his feet was a deep darkness.
Just as Lu Ye was about to float up, he suddenly felt something quickly pass by him.
He was startled and raised his hand to touch his waist.
He touched nothing and then remembered that the Pan Mountain Saber was still in the Ten Thousand Elephant Chamber of Commerce. He released his divine sense and could only move three inches away from his body. The suppression of divine sense in the sea was too strong.
Without a saber in his hand and with his divine sense restrained, Lu Ye didn't know what had just swam by him. Without hesitation, he activated his spiritual power and rushed up while being vigilant of his surroundings.
Just as he moved, Lu Ye felt that the current beside him was a bit abnormal. At the same time, with the help of the faint light, he saw something small quickly pass by. Without the slightest hesitation, he threw a punch in that direction. Lu Ye felt as if something had been smashed into smithereens. He scooped it up and continued upwards. A moment later, he returned to the reef island from before. He stared at the thing he brought back from the sea and was dumbfounded for a moment.
This Ten Thousand Elephant Sea … actually had fish!
