Following the guidance of the star chart in her hand, Ghost arrived at Peerless Island in a few days. She didn't expose herself. Instead, she hid nearby and investigated the situation.
At first, she thought that this was just a nameless, deserted island that some small fry had come to occupy. Who knew that when she arrived, she would discover that something was amiss. The island was enveloped by an extremely powerful protective formation!
What surprised her even more was that she wasn't the only ghost cultivator in the vicinity.
She could sense that there were several ghost cultivators hiding in the dark, as if they were monitoring the situation on Peerless Island. There were even some who were brazenly observing from afar.
Ghost was at a loss. Wasn't this just a deserted island? Who had nothing better to do than to set up such a large formation here? What were these people secretly spying on Peerless Island doing?
Logically speaking, there were many deserted islands like this on the Myriad Manifestation Sea. They were all worthless. Normally, no one would occupy them. However, what she saw in front of her made her very confused.
Now that Peerless Island was enveloped by the formation, the starry sky energy produced by reversing the seawater in the Minor Constellation Hall was blocked. Therefore, those outside Peerless Island couldn't sense anything unusual on the island.
Ghost naturally thought that Peerless Island was a deserted island.
While investigating, Ghost suddenly saw a familiar figure. She finally understood why Fa Wuzun had asked her to come here. It was because she saw Chu Shen.
She roughly knew about the relationship between Chu Shen and Fa Wuzun. Back then, when she had asked Fa Wuzun to help her enter the exclusive scene, she had asked Chu Shen to pass on a message.
Upon closer inspection, Ghost realized that Chu Shen's status here wasn't low. The people on the island were very respectful to him.
Since she was already here, she could only go in and take a look. She didn't know why Fa Wuzun had asked her to come here. However, in order to be able to go to the merfolk's territory anytime in the future, she could only endure the humiliation and compromise. Everything would have to wait until she became Yue Yao.
She didn't show herself. Instead, she took out a musical note and sent a message to Chu Shen. The two of them had exchanged musical note imprints back in the Minor Constellation Hall.
Chu Shen, who was talking to someone on the island, sensed something. He took out a musical note and looked at it. His expression lit up. Then, he quietly controlled the island's formation and opened a gap.
Ghost had been waiting there for a long time. In a flash, she came in.
As soon as she set foot on the Matchless Island, Spectre's expression changed. This was because she could feel an extremely pure and rich starry sky energy coming from this place!
Suddenly, he realized that the Wushuang Island was not a deserted island, but a spiritual island!
But … how was this possible? If it was Spiritual Island, it would have been occupied by a force long ago. Why would it still be here today?
When she was observing from the outside just now, although she didn't see the full picture of the people on the island, she could roughly see that there weren't many people here, and their cultivations were generally not high. Many of them were in the early stage of the Constellation Realm, and it seemed that Chu Shen was the leader.
What right did such a force have to occupy a Spiritual Island? Moreover, it was a spiritual island of this level!
After sensing for a while, Ghost was sure that the Unparalleled Island could be considered a middle-grade Spiritual Island based on the energy density.
There were many spiritual islands on the Vientiane Sea. Some were good, some were bad. The standard to judge them was the cosmic energy on the island.
Those spiritual islands that had cosmic energy but couldn't satisfy the Constellation Realm's cultivation were the lowest grade of low-grade spiritual islands. In the entire Vientiane Sea, there were many of such spiritual islands. Most of them were occupied by the less powerful realms.
Although it couldn't satisfy the Constellation Realm's cultivation, if one cultivated on such spiritual islands, they could save some spiritual jades and increase the efficiency of their cultivation. Therefore, there was still some value in it, although it wasn't very valuable.
Even so, low-grade spiritual islands like these were fought over by countless realms. This was because no matter how many low-grade spiritual islands there were, they couldn't outnumber the realms where the cultivators came from.
Cultivators came from different galaxies and different realms. All of them needed a place to settle down. Occupying a deserted island was meaningless. If one wasn't strong enough, he could only think of occupying a low-grade spiritual island. Most of the fights between spiritual islands on the Vientiane Sea happened on low-grade spiritual islands.
Above the low-grade spiritual islands were middle-grade spiritual islands like the Matchless Island. The cosmic energy on such spiritual islands could satisfy the cultivation needs of the Constellation Realm cultivators.
In other words, one could cultivate on such a spiritual island even if they didn't have any spiritual jades. If they used spiritual jades, their cultivation efficiency would be higher.
The value of such spiritual islands was undoubtedly much higher than that of low-grade spiritual islands. On the Vientiane Sea, the forces that were qualified to occupy such spiritual islands were extremely powerful.
Above that were the high-grade spiritual islands. The cosmic energy on these islands was so dense that it could even satisfy Yue Yao's cultivation needs. The forces that occupied these spiritual islands were undoubtedly much stronger than those that occupied middle-grade spiritual islands. Usually, they were occupied by groups of cultivators from an entire galaxy.
Basically, there wouldn't be any major conflicts between these spiritual islands. This was because once a conflict broke out, it would be a war between two galaxies. When that happened, many people would be involved and it would be difficult to resolve.
In history, there was once a conflict between two high-grade spiritual islands, which led to a large-scale conflict that lasted for ten years. In that conflict, more than ten high-grade spiritual islands and hundreds of middle-grade and low-grade spiritual islands were involved. During that ten years, the entire Vientiane Sea was in chaos. In the end, Nicho from the Vientiane Galaxy couldn't stand it anymore and stepped in to quell the conflict.
This was also one of the reasons why Nicho from the outside was not allowed to stay on the Vientiane Sea for long periods of time. Without Nicho from the outside, Nicho from the local territory could still suppress some unfavorable situations. However, if every powerful galaxy had Nicho from the local territory, once a large-scale conflict broke out, Nicho from the local territory would be helpless.
Above the high-grade spiritual islands, there was actually another grade, which was the highest grade of spiritual islands.
This was because the cosmic energy on these spiritual islands was so dense that it could give birth to spiritual jade veins.
For example, the Vientiane Island was such a top-grade spiritual island!
Although Lu Ye had entered and exited the Vientiane Island many times, there was one area that he had never been to before. That was the forbidden area of the Vientiane Island, where the entrance to the spiritual jade veins was located. Yue Yao guarded that area all year round, and anyone who dared to trespass would be killed without mercy.
In the entire Vientiane Sea, there weren't many top-grade spiritual islands like the Vientiane Island. There were less than fifty of them. This meant that the fifty spiritual jade veins were all occupied by the top-grade forces. Since ancient times, no one had been able to shake their position.
Spiritual jade veins were extremely precious. They meant an endless supply of cultivation resources, which was what cultivators desired the most.
Generally speaking, only top-grade regions could give birth to spiritual jade veins. For example, although the Nine Continents had been upgraded to a large region, it would still take many years to accumulate enough resources to give birth to spiritual jade veins.
Spiritual jade veins could not only produce spiritual jades, but also spiritual crystals. These were important resources for Yue Yao's cultivation. In other words, having a spiritual jade vein meant that one could nurture more powerful cultivators.
The Peerless Island was far from being a top-grade spiritual island. It was at most a middle-grade spiritual island. Even so, it was enough to shock Ghost. She couldn't understand why such a spiritual island wasn't marked on the star map, and why it was occupied by Chu Shen and his people.
Following Chu Shen's instructions, Ghost came to a large hall. This should be the guest hall, which was mainly used to receive guests. It was obvious that it had been built not long ago. The furnishings in the room were very new.
She slowly revealed herself. Chu Shen had already walked in with a smile on his face. He cupped his fists and bowed, "Senior Sister Ghost, why are you here?"
They had met before, so they weren't unfamiliar with each other. However, Chu Shen couldn't understand why Ghost would come here. They didn't have any special relationship.
Ghost thought for a moment and said, "Fa Wuzun asked me to come."
This guy was Fa Wuzun's underling. Some things couldn't be hidden from him. Hence, Ghost could only tell him the truth.
"My Big Brother asked you to come?" It was only then that Chu Shen reacted. Thinking about it, it was not strange. Sphynx Great Pharaoh and Ghost were familiar with each other. Now that Peerless Island was in dire need of manpower, especially for someone as strong as Ghost, it was natural for Sphynx Great Pharaoh to ask her for help.
He was secretly happy. He was just worrying about where to find suitable manpower. Fa Lao actually asked Ghost to come. She came at the right time.
"Since my Big Brother asked you to come, Senior Sister, you can stay here. If you need anything, just let me know." Chu Shen's attitude was warm.
Ghost nodded and asked, "What's up with this spiritual island?"
"What do you mean?" Chu Shen didn't understand.
"Such a spiritual island should have been occupied by someone long ago. Why …" She wanted to ask why it was his turn, but it didn't seem right.
Chu Shen already understood what she meant. He smiled and said, "Senior Sister, you don't know. This was originally a deserted island. I brought people and occupied it before it became lively."
Ghost was enlightened. "I see!"
She was just wondering why no one would take a fancy to this spiritual island. It turned out that it was a reincarnated spiritual island. Chu Shen's luck was truly exceptional. She had naturally heard about the reincarnated spiritual islands. However, after so many years, there were countless spiritual islands in the Vientiane Sea. Only a few of them had been reincarnated as spiritual islands. Furthermore, they were all low-grade spiritual islands.
However, Spectre quickly realized that something was amiss. If one were to truly be reborn from a deserted island, there would be a slow transformation process. This process would take at least a few years or even a decade. However, Chu Shen had previously participated in the Constellation Hall Tournament in Constellation Hall. Not much time had passed since the Constellation Hall Tournament ended.
How long had it been?
"When did this island become lively?" Ghost asked.
Chu Shen thought for a moment and said, "It happened about a month ago. When we came here, this place was desolate. There wasn't even a bit of energy left. But after a few days, it started to change. It's like this now."
"More than a month!" Ghost widened her eyes and looked at Chu Shen in disbelief. She almost thought that he was lying to her.
