As the butterfly starbeast flew away, Lu Ye's expression flickered. As the dust merged with his body, Lu Ye felt a strange resonance with the butterfly starbeast that was flying further and further away.
Due to this strange resonance, he felt as if he was losing control of his body. His Talent Tree suddenly reacted. As he looked at it, the tree suddenly burst into flames and thick black smoke rose into the air.
Lu Ye's heart trembled. He knew that an external force had invaded his body and caused the Talent Tree to react. Could it be a deadly poison?
If so, with the Talent Tree, he might be able to escape this disaster, but Wangu Liu, Tao Yan, and Zhou Xingzhi would most likely die.
While urging the Talent Tree's power with all its might, he looked at Wangu Liu and the others. At this moment, the three of them began to panic. Wangu Liu cried out in alarm, "That dust is poisonous!" As he spoke, he suddenly stood up. However, his movements were extremely stiff. It was as if there was an invisible string that had locked his body and controlled his movements, turning him into a puppet that was being manipulated.
Wangu Liu's expression was clearly one of panic, but under Lu Ye's gaze, he spread his arms and began to move up and down like a butterfly flapping its wings. As he moved, he walked back and forth on the Star Boat. At first glance, it looked as if he was performing some strange ceremony.
His panic turned into astonishment.
"What's going on?" Wangu Liu was extremely puzzled. He didn't want to do these movements at all, but he couldn't control his body at all.
Not only him, but Tao Yan and Zhou Xingzhi were also moving their arms up and down. Their expressions were clearly uneasy, but they were still making strange movements.
The three of them slowly formed a circle, with Lu Ye in the middle, and kept spinning around. The corners of Lu Ye's eyes twitched when he saw this … Three Star Mansions from different realms were showing off their beauty in front of him like ducks seeking a mate. This scene was really a bit unsightly.
"I want to sing!" Tao Yan was on the verge of tears. Rather than saying this sentence, it was better to say that he was singing it. His tone was very charming.
"Me too …" Zhou Xingzhi expressed that he was about to lose control of the desire in his heart and had to sing a few lines.
"Yi Ye, why are you fine?" Wangu Liu asked in a strange tone. At this moment, Lu Ye was observing the butterfly Star Beast in the distance. He discovered that every time the butterfly flapped its wings, Wangu Liu and the other two would move their arms. He was certain that their strange movements were influenced by the butterfly.
Lu Ye couldn't help but shudder when he thought about the resonance between him and the butterfly star beast. Fortunately, he had the Talent Tree. Otherwise, he might have ended up like Wangu Liu and the others, singing and dancing.
What kind of star beast was this? Although it didn't have any malicious intent towards them, and the dust didn't cause them any substantial harm, it was able to turn those who came into contact with it into puppets. The power of the dust was indeed very strange.
"Do you feel anything unusual?" Lu Ye asked.
"Nope," Tao Yan replied. Wangu Liu also sang along, "Very good, I suddenly feel very energetic." Zhou Xingzhi continued to sing, "And there's even a kind of joy in my heart that can't be vented!" He clearly had an irrepressible smile on his face, but when he laughed, it was as if he was crying.
The three of them sang one after another, and their singing was quite interesting. Lu Ye quietly observed them. Although he should be able to use the Talent Tree to help them solve their current problem, since the three of them didn't feel anything, he wasn't in a hurry to make a move. This was the first time he had encountered such a strange star beast, and Lu Ye wanted to observe it more.
He wanted to see how long the effect of the dust would last. Or perhaps, once they were far enough away from the butterfly star beast, they wouldn't be affected anymore?
The Star Boat became lively. Lu Ye steered the Star Boat forward, and the three men behind him sang and danced as if they were celebrating some kind of festival. The strange song spread into the depths of the starry sky as the Star Boat sailed.
Half a day later, Lu Ye was certain that the butterfly star beast was very far away from them. However, the situation of Wangu Liu and the other two hadn't improved in the slightest. They were still singing and dancing.
After waiting for another half a day, there was still no relief. Although the three of them didn't show any other abnormalities, Lu Ye couldn't be bothered to observe them any longer. Just as he was about to give them a hand, the three men who were singing and dancing suddenly stopped and sat down on the Star Boat.
"Have they recovered?" Lu Ye asked. Wangu Liu and the other two looked at each other and nodded with lingering fear.
This saved Lu Ye a lot of trouble. If Lu Ye wanted to help them, he would have to inject his spiritual energy into their bodies. Only then could he borrow the power of the Talent Tree to burn them. This would more or less affect their bodies, and they might suffer some internal injuries.
"Then, you three should rest first," Lu Ye said. They weren't far from the Thousand Hills Grave. Once they left the Chaotic Explosion Zone and arrived at the Thousand Hills Grave, the rest of the journey would be much easier.
Wangu Liu and the other two hurriedly called out to him. Lu Ye looked at the three of them in confusion, only to see them stammering. In the end, it was Wangu Liu who spoke first, "Yi Ye, what happened before …" Lu Ye looked at them blankly, "What happened before?" Wangu Liu was stunned, but Tao Yan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "No, nothing happened earlier!" Zhou Xingzhi nodded his head like a chick pecking rice, "The journey was peaceful, and the starry sky was beautiful. How could anything have happened?" Lu Ye turned around and continued steering the Star Boat.
Wangu Liu and the other two exchanged a glance, and they all saw the confusion on each other's faces. This matter was related to their reputation, and they definitely couldn't leak it. If the other cultivators in this realm learned about it, they would definitely be laughed at for the rest of their lives.
After traveling for another half a month, they finally left the Chaotic Explosion Zone. Wangu Liu and the others looked at the magnificent starry sky in front of them, and they all fell into a daze.
Lu Ye had seen a few starry sky wonders before, so he was more knowledgeable than them. Thus, he remained calm and collected. He steered the Star Boat around for a while, but he didn't see any fleet from the Three Realms. He also didn't receive any reply from his transmission talisman.
He could only wait. According to his calculations, the fleet couldn't stay in the Chaotic Explosion Zone for too long, and they would definitely come out. As long as they came out, they would definitely follow the path on the star chart and arrive in the vicinity. At that time, he would be able to contact them.
However, the fleet's speed was ultimately slower than his, so it was normal for him to be one step ahead. Wangu Liu and the other two were already discussing whether there was something buried in the nebula burial mounds. Wangu Liu speculated that there were definitely the corpses of powerhouses buried inside, while Zhou Xingzhi guessed that there were treasures inside. Tao Yan felt that the two of them were wrong, but he couldn't say why.
Lu Ye didn't interrupt. He knew what was inside the nebula burial mounds, and those things were extremely beneficial to the improvement of a realm's foundation.
If one day, Little Nine could move Nine Provinces to this place and then devour the things inside the nebula burial mounds to its heart's content, then Nine Provinces' promotion to a top-grade realm would be just around the corner.
However, although the nebula burial mounds were inanimate objects, they had an instinctive defensive ability. Before the defense of the nebula burial mounds was resolved, even if Little Nine moved Nine Provinces here, it would be useless.
Lu Ye looked around, wanting to see if he could find the blue bird or the burial mounds dug up by the blue bird. Unfortunately, as far as the eye could see, the burial mounds were all intact and the blue bird was nowhere to be seen, so he could only give up on this idea.
After waiting for a few more days, the musical note suddenly moved. Lu Ye checked and found that it was a message from Yiyi. Soon, he received a message from Hua Ci.
He was overjoyed, knowing that things were as he had guessed. After the fleet couldn't find them in the chaotic explosion zone, they chose to continue on their way. At this moment, the fleet should have left the chaotic explosion zone and not far away. Otherwise, the musical note wouldn't have been able to contact them.
Lu Ye wasn't the only one who contacted them. Wangu Liu, Tao Yan, and Zhou Xingzhi also sent people to contact them.
After a while, they saw a fleet slowly sailing in the direction they came from. On the leading Star Ship, Luan Xiaoe's figure could be vaguely seen. There were also many people standing at the bow of the ship and waving at them.
Soon, they met up with each other. Seeing that Lu Ye had actually rescued Wangu Liu and the others, Luan Xiaoe had a look of disbelief. She had seen the situation at that time. Although she didn't know why Lu Ye had the confidence to break into the Stellar Magnetic Storm, even if he had the confidence, it would at most be to protect himself. Rescuing people in that kind of environment was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
But now, Wangu Liu and the others were with Lu Ye. This ability was really amazing.
"Fellow Daoist Luan!" Lu Ye stepped forward and bowed. Luan Xiaoe said, "After you left, the fleet searched for you for a few days, but they couldn't find any clues. I made the decision to let the fleet continue on because I thought that if you were safe, you would continue on. The intersection between the chaotic explosion zone and the Thousand Hills Tomb is the safest place to meet up." Lu Ye nodded. "Fellow Daoist's decision is very wise." Luan Xiaoe glanced at Tao Yan behind Lu Ye. "I still have to thank Fellow Daoist for helping me."
"It's within my ability. I can't just stand by and watch." Luan Xiaoe said, "Now that we're out of the chaotic explosion zone, I'd like to rest here for two days before setting off again. What do you think, Fellow Daoist?" Although the fleet mostly relied on the power of spirit jades, the cultivators also needed to use their spiritual energy to maintain some formations. However, there were enough cultivators on each spirit ship, so they could take turns, so it wasn't too tiring.
There was no danger of the chaotic explosion zone here, and the journey ahead was long. Resting for two days before setting off again would allow everyone to be more energetic.
"Fellow Daoist is the person in charge of the Three Realms. Just give the order." Seeing that he didn't have any objections, Luan Xiaoe immediately gave the order.
