On the Star Boat, Lu Ye opened his eyes with a pained expression. This was the result of having one of his divine consciousnesses destroyed. However, he didn't look tired at all. Instead, his eyes glowed with excitement.
He realized that subduing the Chi would bring him far more benefits than he had expected.
Not to mention the fact that the Hou was a soldier, it could grow as its master grew stronger. It could save Lu Ye from all sorts of problems when it came to upgrading the Pan Shan Blade in the future. The Hou itself was a huge treasure, a treasure waiting to be exploited by Lu Ye.
Li Shang had mentioned before that soldiers seemed to have the ability to help their masters grow. However, she didn't know what this ability was.
Lu Ye had sensed it back then, but when he was about to investigate, Xu Dingyang and the others caught up with him, so he didn't have time to investigate.
Until the battle just now …
Since ancient times, the Chi had followed many powerful masters. Without exception, these masters were all soldier cultivators. Naturally, many of them used the saber.
Each of these cultivators could be said to be a peerless genius. Their achievements were far beyond what ordinary cultivators could compare with. Many of them were famous and terrifying existences even in the entire Sunshine Region. They were all overlords of a region.
If they wanted to, they could leave their mark in the Chi. Rather than calling it a mark, it was more like a kind of inheritance.
For example, when Lu Ye met Qing Li, what he saw was not Qing Li herself, but a manifestation of the mark she left in the Chi. The slash she used on Lu Ye was the essence of her inheritance.
Under that slash, Lu Ye couldn't fight back at all. If they met in the real world, it meant that Qing Li had the ability to kill Lu Ye with a single slash.
Of course, this didn't mean that Qing Li had this ability when she was in the late Constellation Realm. When Qing Li left her mark, it could have been Rizhao or someone else. With Rizhao's foundation and skills, even if Qing Li used the same strength as Lu Ye, Lu Ye wouldn't have been able to resist.
If Lu Ye grew stronger in the future, he could also leave his mark in the Chi for the benefit of his descendants.
Of course, even if Lu Ye wanted to do so, it would be many years later. Moreover, not everyone could leave behind a mark inside the Bi. In order to do so, one had to first obtain the Bi's approval. If the Bi didn't agree, then forcefully leaving behind a mark wouldn't last long before it dissipated.
Lu Ye's combat skills and instincts were honed through life and death situations. Up until now, the biggest problem he had encountered was that there was no one to guide him systematically.
In the beginning, the Jade Blood Sect was in decline. The Sect Master was a Dharma Cultivator and a Body Cultivator, Second Senior Sister was a Medical Cultivator, and Fourth Senior Brother was a Sword Cultivator. There was no one who could teach him at all. However, Third Senior Brother had given him some saber techniques before they met.
However, Lu Ye's strength grew too fast and soon exceeded the limit of the Nine Regions' cultivators, so there was no one to teach him.
Previously, the Constellation Hall had given Lu Ye the inheritance of the Ten Thousand Tidal Waves, which made Lu Ye very happy. This was because he finally had something that was different from the Tyrant Saber Technique. However, it was still unable to solve the fundamental problem that he had to face — as his cultivation level gradually increased, his saber techniques should also grow correspondingly. It was no longer enough to rely solely on the tempering of life and death situations.
The imprint inheritance within the Panther was what he urgently needed at the moment.
Qing Li was only the first. There were countless imprint inheritances hidden within the Panther. As long as Lu Ye could defeat the imprints left behind by the powerhouses, he would be able to see the essence of their inheritances and absorb their nutrients to promote his own growth.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Lu Ye was not in a hurry to try again. Instead, he recalled the slash that Qing Li had just made.
Without a doubt, that slash was not just a simple slash. It was the condensation of an entire saber technique system. Qing Li had condensed all of her saber techniques into that one slash.
It was just like how the Three Forms of the Tyrant Saber were not just the three forms. If one simply cultivated the three forms and imitated them, they would not be able to comprehend the subtleties of the Tyrant Saber Technique.
The power that Qing Li had used back then was completely the same as her own power. It could be said that there was no difference at all. However, he was still killed by a single slash. This meant that Qing Li's saber techniques were far superior to his own.
This did not make Lu Ye depressed. Instead, it made him excited. This was because he saw the possibility of his own growth.
After pondering for a long time, Lu Ye once again focused his mind and entered the green hall. He looked up and saw that Qing Li still looked the same as before. Her hands were placed on the hilt of her saber, and she stood there with the support of her saber.
However, she quickly opened her eyes. Once again, Lu Ye saw two spots of golden light blooming.
This time, unlike the last time, Qing Li did not announce her name or origin. Instead, she attacked directly.
Lu Ye thought that he would be able to hold on for a little longer. However, after Qing Li attacked, he realized that he was wrong. He could still vaguely see a bloody mouth opening up to bite him. Then, his mind retreated from the green hall.
It was truly a fiend with its fangs bared!
Lu Ye's divine consciousness was destroyed again. This little damage to his divine consciousness did not affect him. If he wanted to recover, he could use the Spirit-Refining Grass.
After thinking about it for a long time, Lu Ye entered the green hall for the third time.
Time passed. Lu Ye sat on the Star Boat with the Pan Mountain Saber across his knees. He poured his spiritual energy into the saber from time to time. Occasionally, he would take out spiritual jades or Spirit-Refining Grass to refine them. To outsiders, he seemed to be cultivating.
Li Shang was increasingly certain that Lu Ye had subdued the Bin Tribe. Otherwise, there was no reason for him to behave so strangely along the way. However, after interacting with Lu Ye for a long time, she gradually realized that he was extraordinary. She had a vague feeling that one day in the future, Lu Ye would definitely have a place in the vast starry sky. Being able to make friends with such a weak person seemed to be a good thing.
Traveling through the starry sky was extremely boring. Although the scenery in the starry sky was beautiful and spectacular, after a long time, it became insignificant.
However, this kind of boring travel was something that every cultivator had to experience. The starry sky was too vast, and there was no way to arrive at a destination casually.
After departing from the Heavenly Dog Star, it took a full three and a half months for the group to pass through the barren Star Field and enter the Indefinite Galaxy.
They had just entered the Indefinite Galaxy. If they wanted to reach a certain realm, they would have to travel for a period of time.
Lu Ye did not notice the passage of time at all. He was wholeheartedly focused on fighting Qing Li.
Over the past three months, he had lost count of how many times he had been killed by Qing Li. Finally, he had learned something. Although he was still no match for Qing Li, at least he would not be killed the moment he entered. He would finally be able to spar with Qing Li.
This was undoubtedly a huge improvement.
While fighting with Qing Li, it was also an opportunity for Lu Ye to understand the essence of the inheritance she had left behind. Lu Ye eagerly absorbed the nutrients left by Qing Li, feeling grateful to this ancestor who had once obtained the Pyrolyte.
Lu Ye also found that his Spirit Sea had grown quite a bit. This was because he often needed to refine the Spirit Refining Grass to replenish his Spirit Sense. This also strengthened his Spirit Sea imperceptibly.
While Lu Ye was refining the Spirit Jade, Du Lang said, "Brother Lu, now that we have entered the Indefinite Galaxy, where do you plan to go next?"
Only then did Lu Ye remember some of his previous plans. Recently, he had been so engrossed in fighting Qing Li that he had forgotten about other things.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Ye asked, "How far is the Red Sky Realm from the Indefinite Realm?"
Du Lang replied, "The two realms are not far apart. With the speed of Brother Lu's Star Boat, it should only take half a month."
This was also the reason why the Red Sky Realm wanted to rely on the Indefinite Realm after it had weakened. It was close enough. If it was too far away, the Red Sky Realm would not rely on the Indefinite Realm. There were other realms in the galaxy that they could choose from, but they were not as powerful as the Indefinite Realm.
"Then let's go to the Red Sky Realm first. Allow me to pay a visit to the seniors of your realm!"
It was not easy to form a partnership with the Sunshine of the Indefinite Realm. Lu Ye did not have the qualifications to communicate with the experts of the Sunshine Realm. In the eyes of the Sunshine Realm, who had lived for countless years, Lu Ye was just a child.
Therefore, Lu Ye thought that perhaps he could borrow the strength of the Red Sky Realm as a springboard.
The Red Sky Realm was weak and their realms were weak. No matter what the Indefinite Realm thought, the Red Sky Realm would definitely not refuse if they knew that they could go to the Wanxiang Sea. After all, they were the ones who could not wait to change.
Therefore, Lu Ye planned to negotiate with the Yue Yao of the Red Sky Realm first, and then have the Yue Yao of the Red Sky Realm introduce the experts of the Indefinite Realm. If everything went smoothly, it should not be difficult to form a partnership with the Indefinite Realm.
Du Lang was clearly very happy to hear Lu Ye's words. He immediately steered the Star Boat and flew towards the Red Sky Continent according to the star chart.
The environment of the Indefinite Galaxy was undoubtedly different from that of the Barren Star Field. There were stars and realms full of vitality everywhere. This was actually the environment of a normal galaxy.
Lu Ye was still struggling with Qing Li, and his progress was good. He estimated that he should be able to fully comprehend the inheritance left behind by Qing Li in a short period of time.
This made him secretly look forward to it. He did not know what kind of wondrous inheritance Qing Li would have after this.
Two months later, two figures clashed fiercely in the green hall of the Hui. The sounds of sabers rang out, and the sabers were ferocious. As their figures crossed each other, their sabers slashed down.
Intense spiritual energy surged, and there was a slight stalemate. Qing Li's figure suddenly floated back.
Lu Ye looked pensive and did not pursue.
He saw Qing Li put away her saber, then nodded slightly to Lu Ye, and her figure disappeared.
Lu Ye understood that he must have comprehended the essence of the inheritance left behind by Qing Li and passed her test.
After nearly half a year of struggle, he gradually grew stronger after being slashed again and again. It was not easy to achieve this. Compared to the fierce attacks of the Tyrant Saber Technique and the continuous waves of the Tidal Sea, Qing Li's saber technique inheritance was more about flexibility.
Fortunately, when he subdued Hui, he saw his various shortcomings. Otherwise, it would not have been so easy to pass Qing Li's test.
