In Room D9, Lu Ye stood up expressionlessly, pushed open the door, and said, "Come with me!"
There would definitely be a lot of good things after the auction, but there was no need to stay after missing out on the Phoenix Skies Blue Crystal.
He could feel that Room A6 was targeting him. Otherwise, they wouldn't have raised the price so high. Twenty million spirit jades had far exceeded the value of the Phoenix Skies Blue Crystal. Lu Ye only had eight million spirit jades now. Even if he had more, he wouldn't bid for it.
Without the Phoenix Skies Blue Crystal, he could choose other treasures to replace it. However, if he did that, the Mountain Pan Saber's grade would be slightly lower.
He wasn't in a hurry to upgrade Yue Yao. He might have another chance to find the Phoenix Skies Blue Crystal in the future, so he didn't need it too urgently.
He didn't get what he wanted, but he gained a lot from those he wasn't prepared to bid for, especially the Soul race. He hadn't expected this at all.
He could feel that the Soul race was behind him, but they moved silently and were invisible. If Lu Ye didn't have a jade token that could control them, they would have fled long ago.
After leaving the Myriad Elephant Trading Firm, Lu Ye summoned the Star Boat. He waited until he was sure that the Soul race had boarded before he left.
Standing on the Star Boat, Lu Ye felt a chill run down his spine, as if a venomous snake was licking his neck with its forked tongue. Clearly, the chill came from the Soul's gaze.
If the woman wanted to escape, she had to snatch the token. Otherwise, with the token in Lu Ye's hand, she would never be able to escape.
"If you want to fight, you can try!" Lu Ye's indifferent voice came from the front.
A strange light flashed in the eyes of the formless Soul race. Then, without hesitation, she pounced forward and merged with Lu Ye's body.
Lu Ye's eyes were downcast. As he drove the Star Boat toward Matchless Island, he divided his attention.
His Soul Avatar appeared in his Divine Sea.
Lu Ye had acquired the Soul Suppressing Pagoda back when he was still in the Nine States. But as his cultivation grew, the Soul Suppressing Pagoda became less and less useful. The Soul Suppressing Pagoda was a treasure from the Realm of Soul, so no matter how good it was, it had its limits. It couldn't keep up with the growth of Lu Ye's strength, but it still had its uses.
At this moment, Lu Ye's Soul Avatar was standing at the top of the tower, looking down.
Unlike in the outside world, inside the Divine Sea, the figure of the woman was completely revealed. She was a very tall woman with long hair that reached her ankles. She was coldly looking in Lu Ye's direction. Generally speaking, if a cultivator wanted to invade someone else's Spirit Sea, they would have to use some special methods or have the power of their Spirit Sea reach a crushing level.
However, the Soul Race did not need to do so. This race was named after the soul, and they had extremely special methods in terms of the power of the soul. As long as the difference in cultivation was not too great, they could casually invade the Divine Sea of others.
This was also the most common method that the Soul Race used to fight with others. Compared to ordinary battles, this method was undoubtedly much more dangerous.
The Soul Race had no enmity with Lu Ye, but no one was willing to be suppressed by others and lose their freedom. If she wanted to escape, she would have to deal with Lu Ye.
The moment their eyes met, the woman suddenly raised her hands and formed a seal in front of her. Immediately after, the calm Divine Sea began to ripple outwards with the woman as the center.
This was the result of the Soul Suppressing Pagoda guarding the Divine Sea. If it weren't for the Soul Suppressing Pagoda, the Divine Sea would have been filled with monstrous waves. If this had really happened, Lu Ye's Soul would have been shaken and his mind would have been uneasy.
Lu Ye simply looked at her quietly, not showing any intention of stopping her. This was because for him, stopping this Soul Race was actually very simple. He just needed to take out the token he obtained at the auction and pour his spirit force into it to activate the seal on the woman's body. Then, he could expel her from his Divine Sea.
However, Lu Ye didn't want to be remembered by her in the future. Before he could find a suitable method to deal with her, they would have to spend some time together. As the saying went, one could be a thief for a thousand days, but there was no such thing as guarding against a thief for a thousand days.
Lu Ye wanted to let this Soul Race woman know that her methods wouldn't work on him and put an end to any devious ideas she might have. The records he had seen in the little human race's Resting Abyss Pavilion weren't comprehensive. Lu Ye only knew that the Soul Race had a special method to invade another's Divine Sea, but he didn't know that the Soul Race could borrow the strength of another's Divine Sea to deal with the master of the Divine Sea!
As the woman displayed her methods, Lu Ye could clearly feel that a portion of the strength in his Divine Sea was being controlled by her.
This was truly strange. It had to be known that this strength was clearly his!
The Soul Race was truly a strange race. With such a strange strength, any cultivator that had their Divine Sea invaded would likely not have a good ending. Arrows suddenly swept out from the waves, blotting out the sky as they shot towards Lu Ye's Soul Avatar. Each arrow was formed from Lu Ye's own Spiritual Energy!
Lu Ye's heart stirred. The Soul Suppressing Pagoda beneath his feet suddenly rose up, enveloping him and turning into a protective barrier.
Du du du, du du. The arrows formed from Spiritual Energy bombarded the Soul Suppressing Pagoda, causing it to sway uncontrollably.
Lu Ye was now a late-stage Star Constellation Realm cultivator, so his Spiritual Energy was extremely powerful. Even the Soul Suppressing Pagoda wouldn't be able to withstand this level of attack for long.
"Release my restrictions and I'll leave!" The woman urged her strength to attack as she spoke. She could see that the Soul Suppressing Pagoda wasn't of high quality and wouldn't be able to last for too long. However, what made her a little curious was why this human didn't try to stop her. He clearly only needed to activate the power of the token to stop her.
Lu Ye slowly shook his head. His silent refusal made his stance clear.
The Soul Suppressing Pagoda might not be able to hold on, but he still had other methods.
With a thought, his Divine Sea boiled and a Starship suddenly appeared, as if it was riding the wind and waves of an extremely harsh sea.
The battleship seemed to have gone through an extremely cruel battle. The entire hull was tattered, but as it slowly revealed itself and Lu Ye's Spiritual Energy poured into it, the battleship quickly became intact. Then, one figure after another appeared on the battleship and quickly took up their respective roles.
Lu Ye stood on the deck of the Starship, staring expressionlessly at the Spiritas woman. All the methods she used were blocked by the Starship's protective barrier.
The Spiritas woman's eyes narrowed as she stared incredulously at the Starship that had suddenly appeared. Even with her knowledge and experience, she couldn't tell what this Soul Artifact was.
There was actually a Soul Artifact that looked like a Starship in this world?
In the next moment, her body suddenly tensed up because there was a great danger shrouding her. She could clearly feel that there was an extremely surging power brewing in the battleship, and the aura of that power had firmly locked onto her. It was as if there was a sharp sword hanging above her head that could fall at any time.
"Stop fooling around and get out!" Lu Ye looked at her, his tone flat as if he was driving away a playful child.
The churning waves around the woman slowly calmed down, and her expression became bitter. She finally understood why this human didn't use the power of the token to restrain her.
With such a Soul Artifact guarding his Divine Sea, even if she was a Spiritas, she couldn't do anything to him. If she didn't know when to stop, she would be the one to suffer.
After weighing the pros and cons, the woman finally withdrew from Lu Ye's Divine Sea.
Lu Ye sped all the way back to Matchless Island and drove the Star Boat straight through the island's protective barrier. Today, the overall strength of Matchless Island was incomparable to the time when Carp Island attacked. Just in the late Constellation Realm alone, Matchless Island had recruited no less than thirteen people. Including the early and middle Constellation Realm, the number of people recruited by Matchless Island in the recent period of time had almost reached a hundred.
With such a force and Tang Jun, it was more than enough to defend Matchless Island, so there weren't any forces foolish enough to cause trouble for them recently.
It could be said that with Matchless Island's current strength, even if two or three forces like Carp Island joined forces, they might not be able to take them down.
Those cultivators who were lucky enough to join Matchless Island through the Zhong Zheng Shu's inquiry were naturally impeccable. Moreover, because Matchless Island was a Spirit Island, they could save a lot of Spirit Jades by cultivating here. Therefore, even if they didn't have much monthly salary, these cultivators were still willing to stay.
What made these cultivators even more excited was that they could clearly feel that the Starry Sky Energy in Matchless Island was continuously increasing. Right now, Matchless Island was only a middle-grade Spirit Island, but who could be sure that it wouldn't become a high-grade Spirit Island if it continued to increase like this?
Under such expectations, the cultivators who joined the Peerless Island cherished this opportunity very much. Unconsciously, they had a sense of belonging and identity to the Peerless Island. In such a situation, even if a strong enemy attacked, they would not casually flee. Even if it was for their own future, they would still advance and retreat with Chu Shen.
Recently, Chu Shen was looking for a way to make money.
If a Spirit Island wanted to continue to develop, they would need to invest a lot of Spirit Jades in the early stages. Needless to say, the Matchless Island had spent four million Spirit Jades to build the defensive array. This was not a small sum, so they had to find a way to recoup this investment no matter what. Moreover, in the future, the cultivators of Matchless Island would need Spirit Jades for their cultivation. They couldn't just rely on the Starry Sky Energy on the island.
Therefore, they had to find a suitable way to make money. Only then could they stabilize the hearts of the people and retain the talents.
The best way was to open various shops on the island to attract cultivators to trade. This was also the main source of income for most Spirit Islands.
However, it was still too early for Peerless Island to consider this. If they forced it, it would be very difficult to gather popularity if they did not have any particularly attractive goods. Chu Shen had been worried about this for a period of time, but he could not think of a good solution. Only now did he realize how naive he was when he wanted to create his own faction.
