To Lu Ye's slight disappointment, Tang Jun shook his head and said, "I've never heard of it. As you know, once we leave our domain, the direction radiates in all directions. Although I've been to a few nearby galaxies, I dare not say that I know everything about Jade Conch. Perhaps I know more about Jade Conch Domain."
Jade Conch Galaxy was named after the Jade Conch Domain. It was the well-deserved leader of the galaxy. Although there was no sunlight, there were many moon blossoms. It was much stronger than the old man's Qingli Dao Domain.
The old man sighed again. "In the end, our galaxy is still out of touch with the mainstream of the universe. I didn't think much of it before, but after coming to the Wanxiang Sea, I realized that we're still frogs in a well." Holding the jade slip in his hand, he looked at Lu Ye and asked, "What do you plan to do?"
"Go back!" Lu Ye said matter-of-factly. He didn't know the location of Jade Conch Galaxy before, but now that he knew, he had to go back.
It wasn't that he missed his hometown. He hadn't been out for long, so he didn't miss it. What he considered was to go back first and figure out the path. In this way, even if the Insect Path couldn't be formed in the future, if the cultivators of this domain wanted to come to the Wanxiang Sea, they could fly over directly. If this domain wanted to develop and grow, it wouldn't work if they just admired themselves. They had to connect with the mainstream of the universe. The Wanxiang Galaxy was a good place and also an opportunity.
Of course, the journey across two galaxies wouldn't be short. Even though Lu Ye had a Star Boat now, it would definitely take three to five years.
"We should go back." Tang Jun nodded. "Do you want to go back or should I?"
Lu Ye was stunned. "You don't want to go back?"
Tang Jun said, "Of course! I'm old and don't have many years left to live. Even if I die, I don't want to be buried in a foreign land. I still hope to return to my roots. But first of all, we can't tell if this information is accurate. If it's wrong, we'll just be wasting our time if we go back together. Another possibility is that this information is accurate and we can return to Jade Conch. We don't have to go back together. One will go and figure out the path, and the other will stay and develop here. When the cultivators of our two domains come here in the future, we can more or less take care of them. "
It had to be said that the old man's consideration was comprehensive. When Lu Ye received the jade slip, he only wanted to return to Jade Conch Galaxy.
Now that she heard what he said, she indeed felt that the best arrangement was for one to stay and one to leave.
"I'll go. You stay!" Lu Ye immediately made his decision.
In the end, the Nine Provinces was still a little weak. Moreover, Lu Ye did not want to tell others about the specific location of the Nine Provinces, not even Tang Jun. In this old man's mind, he was just a cultivator from the Wushuang Continent.
Therefore, if one of them had to go back, he would be the best choice.
Tang Jun was shrewd with age. How could he not see Lu Ye's misgivings? He nodded and said, "Then we'll arrange it that way! But how are you going to enter the Sky Spill Galaxy? "
Normally, using the Insect Path was the only way. They couldn't just fly over.
The Sky Spill Star System had a stable Insect Path that led directly to the Myriad Phenomenon Star System. Otherwise, there wouldn't be cultivators from the Sky Spill Star System here.
Cultivators from this galaxy could naturally enter and exit the Insect Passage as they pleased, but if they were not from this galaxy, they would need someone to be their guarantor!
This was because there were powerhouses from the Sky Spill Star System guarding the two ends of the Insect Path. If one barged in without a guarantor, they would die in vain.
Basically, every galaxy's Insect Path was guarded by a local powerhouse. One reason was to prevent the local cultivators from being ambushed when they entered the Myriad Phenomenon Star System. Another reason was to prevent people from using the Insect Path to invade the local galaxy.
If one day, the Jade Conch Galaxy's Insect Path stabilized and allowed people to pass through safely, the Jade Conch Galaxy would also need to dispatch powerhouses to guard the entrances and exits of the Insect Path. All cultivators entering and exiting the Insect Path would have to be checked before they could pass through.
Lu Ye did not have much interaction with people from the Sky Spill Star System, nor did he know any cultivators from the Sky Spill Star System. Naturally, there was no one to vouch for him.
"Do you have a way?" Lu Ye asked.
Tang Jun shook his head. "This old man is powerless."
"Then I'll think of something myself."
Looking up at the old man, Lu Ye's eyelids drooped. He said, "Old Tang, this journey will take at least a few years. The journey is not safe. Do you have anything you can sponsor? For example, a Planetary Boat, a Treasure of Suppressing Realms, or something like that …"
Tang Jun squinted at him. "I've already given you my Storage Ring. What else do you want? Besides, don't you have the Red Talisman with you? Even if Yue Yao bullies you, so what? You can kill the Red Talisman of the Dwarf Clan! "
Lu Ye said, "You can't say that. You said it yourself that you don't have many years left to live. If you burp before I come back, won't your things benefit others? We're from the same galaxy after all. Give me your inheritance and I'll bring it back to the Green Dawn Dao World. It can be considered as passing it on."
Tang Jun snorted. "Don't worry, I won't die before you come back!"
"You should at least give me some travel expenses. I don't have much time to search for spiritual jades along the way. I don't have any left."
The old man was speechless. This was the first time he heard of travel expenses. However, if Li Taibai could really return to Jade Conch, the Green Dawn Dao World would need him to inform them. He took out a Storage Ring and handed it to Lu Ye. "I don't have any more. Take it or leave it!"
"I don't dare to refuse a gift from an elder. How can I not take it?" Lu Ye took the Storage Ring and looked at it. There were less than two thousand spiritual jades in it. The old man was quite generous. Lu Ye silently remembered this favor.
"I'll leave you a jade slip. When you return to Jade Conch, pass it to Wu Zhuo when you go to the Green Dawn Dao World. He will cooperate with you." Tang Jun handed him another jade slip.
Wu Zhuo was the third Yue Yao in the Green Dawn Dao World.
Lu Ye took it and put it away solemnly. "Is there anything else you want to say?"
Tang Jun looked at him with a serious expression. "Don't die on the way."
The world was unpredictable. The old man and the young man who used to be enemies were now in a foreign place. Now that they were in the same boat, Tang Jun naturally hoped that Lu Ye's journey would go as smoothly as possible.
Lu Ye jumped up and laughed. "Don't die before I come back!"
How to enter the Sky Spill Star System was a problem. The most appropriate method was naturally to befriend a cultivator from the Sky Spill Star System, gain their trust, and have them act as a guarantor. Then, they would be able to enter safely. However, these cultivators from the various star systems did not have their origins engraved on their foreheads, so how would Lu Ye know who was from the Sky Spill Star System?
Asking the Plenitude Commerce Hall for information was one way. However, Lu Ye was reluctant to pay a thousand spiritual jades for a piece of information. Moreover, even if he did find a Sky Spill cultivator, why would he make friends with him and trust him?
He could also try his luck at the Worm Path that led to Sky Spill. There must be a strong cultivator from Yue Yao guarding there. If he told them his intention honestly and said that he wanted to borrow the Sky Spill Path, it might work. However, it was more likely that he would be rejected.
After thinking about it, there was only one way!
Zhao Lai Island!
Lu Ye had stayed at Zhao Lai Island for a few days. The recruitment there was not only about the various Spiritual Islands recruiting guards, but also about other kinds of information, including the transportation of resources.
The Plenitude Ocean had frequent transactions. The amount of resources it took in every day was enormous. Some people brought local specialties here to sell, while others bought resources here and sent them back to their home world.
The journey was not necessarily peaceful. There were all kinds of people here. When Lu Ye had just arrived at the Plenitude Galaxy, he had even been robbed by a group of people.
Therefore, if there was a need to transport resources, someone would be needed to escort them. If there were enough people in their home world, they naturally did not need to hire anyone. If there were not enough, they could only come to Zhao Lai Island to find someone.
Lu Ye wanted to come here to see if there were any Sky Spill cultivators recruiting people.
The probability was not high, but it was better than trying his luck with Yue Yao.
He had thought that even if there was hope, it would take a long time. If there was no other way, he could only ask the Plenitude Commerce Hall for information and find a Sky Spill cultivator to make friends with.
Who knew that in less than half a day after arriving at Zhao Lai Island, he would find the recruitment information he needed on a jade board.
Just as he had expected, they needed to recruit a few people to escort a batch of resources back to a certain realm in the Sky Spill Galaxy. Then, they would escort another batch of resources back to the Plenitude Ocean.
A middle-aged man stood beside the jade board. He had not activated his Spirit Power, so Lu Ye could not tell his cultivation level. However, he was probably a Star Mansion cultivator.
Lu Ye stepped forward, cupped his fists, and said, "Brother, please."
The middle-aged man sized Lu Ye up and said directly, "One round trip is 1,500 jade pieces. Five hundred is the deposit, and 1,000 is the balance. If you are satisfied, we can talk. If you are not, please leave!"
1,500 jade pieces was not a low price. A round trip would take at least four to five months. On average, it would be 300 to 400 Spirit Jades per month. It was higher than the monthly salary of ordinary Spiritual Islands recruiting guards. After all, the risks in space were high.
Lu Ye had seen a lot of recruitment information before. He knew that this price was fair. Moreover, he was not here for Spirit Jades. He nodded immediately. "Sure!"
Lu Ye discussed some details with the middle-aged man. They exchanged musical notes and agreed to call him when they were about to depart. Then, Lu Ye left Zhao Lai Island.
This mission required a round trip. In other words, even if Lu Ye went to the Sky Spill Galaxy, he would have to come back. This was not consistent with his planned itinerary. Even if he entered the Sky Spill Galaxy, he would not be able to shake off the middle-aged man and act alone. This would easily arouse the middle-aged man's hostility. In the future, it would not be easy for the people of the Jade Conch Galaxy to borrow the Sky Spill Galaxy.
Lu Ye planned to use these few months to build a good relationship with the middle-aged man. If he could get the middle-aged man to vouch for him, he would be familiar with Yue Yao, who was guarding the Insect Path. Then, everything else would not be a problem.
The middle-aged man did not make Lu Ye wait for too long. He received a message two days later. When Lu Ye arrived at the meeting place, he found that there were two other people besides the middle-aged man.
