The fleet rested at the edge of the Thousand Mound Grave for two days before continuing their journey.
Although the Thousand Mound Grave covered a large area, it wouldn't take too long to pass through. Lu Ye had taken less than a month to get there, and if the fleet was slower, a month would be more than enough.
Passing through the Thousand Mound Grave was the beginning of the test. Lu Ye remembered that when he left the Indefinite Galaxy, the Indefinite Galaxy had decided to prepare for a war against the hive. A few years had passed since then, and he did not know how the situation was.
The best-case scenario was that the four galaxies had already worked together to eliminate the hive. Then, they would not encounter any danger.
However, no one could predict the exact direction of a war. If the war was ongoing, the Three Realms' fleet would be in a war zone. Moreover, it would be a war zone with more than one Sunshine expert!
This was very likely to happen. Although a few years was not a short period of time, the four galaxies working together could not be accomplished overnight. Each galaxy would need to deploy their troops. Just this alone would take a lot of time. Then, they would need to meet with the Indefinite Galaxy before they could start the war against the hive.
On the planetary ship, Lu Ye explained the situation to Luan Xiaoe. Luan Xiaoe looked at him. "You have never mentioned this before." Lu Ye said, "It's useless to mention it in the past. We haven't reached this point yet, so it's only adding to our troubles. But now that we're here, we have to face the possible problems. Besides, even if I did mention it in advance, would the Jade Conch Domain have given up on entering the Wanxiang Sea?" Luan Xiaoe remained silent. She knew that Lu Ye was right. Even if Lu Ye had told them about the situation here, the Jade Conch Domain would not have given up on entering the Wanxiang Sea.
After a long while, Luan Xiaoe asked, "How far do you think the war has progressed?"
Lu Ye shook his head. "It's hard to predict. We have to see it with our own eyes. However, the four galaxies all have Sunshine experts. They are also very interested in the Wanxiang Sea. When the time comes, they will follow us. That's why they decided to work together to eliminate the hive. I have seen the hive from afar. It is not small. I heard that there are two Sunshine experts guarding it. However, the four galaxies also have Sunshine experts. If we work together, it will not be difficult to eliminate the hive. It is only a matter of time. " Luan Xiaoe said, "It seems that we still need to get in touch with the Four Cardinal Star System. Since Fellow Daoist has made contact with them before, how about I leave this matter to you?" Lu Ye replied, "It's my duty. When the time comes, the fleet can find a suitable place to hide. I'll go ahead and see if I can get in touch with Apeiron. It won't be too late for the fleet to move after confirming the situation in the war zone." The matter was settled for now. As for what to do when the time came, they could only take it one step at a time.
Luan Xiaoe was quite concerned about the Indefinite Star System. From what she knew, the Indefinite Star System was the closest star system to the Jade Conch. As long as they passed through the Thousand Mound Grave and the Chaotic Explosion Zone, they would cross paths.
The reason why they didn't cross paths in the past was probably because of the barrier of the Chaotic Explosion Zone. Now, the Chaotic Explosion Zone was still there, but it wasn't as dangerous as before. Therefore, in the future, cultivators from the two galaxies might cross paths.
As the leader of Jade Conch Galaxy, Luan Xiaoe felt it was her responsibility to take this opportunity to improve her relationship with Apeiron. After all, Apeiron had Sunshine, which was what Jade Conch wanted.
The fleet continued to sail. Suddenly, everyone sensed something strange. On the planetary ships, figures gathered and looked into the depths of the Thousand Mound Grave.
On Jade Conch's planetary ship, Lu Ye and Luan Xiaoe stood side by side. Luan Xiaoe's expression was grave. She had already ordered the fleet to stop.
This was because there were violent fluctuations of a battle coming from ahead. As far as the eye could see, there were colorful lights blooming from time to time.
"Is this a battle between Sunshine and Apeiron?" Lu Ye asked uncertainly. They were too far away, so he could only vaguely sense it. However, Luan Xiaoe's cultivation was much higher than his, so she should be able to sense it more clearly.
Luan Xiaoe nodded. "Two Sunshine. However, from the energy fluctuations, it doesn't seem to be a battle between cultivators. It's more like a battle between star beasts!"
He felt that the colorful lights that occasionally bloomed were very familiar. Now that he thought about it, could it be the butterfly star beast they had encountered earlier?
As for the other side … Could it be the blue bird? If it was those two fellows, then it made sense why they were fighting so fiercely. Moreover, the butterfly star beast had indeed been flying toward the Thousand Mound Grave earlier.
The blue bird was very interested in the things in the nebula grave. Moreover, star beasts, like wild beasts, had their own territories. If the butterfly star beast had rashly entered the blue bird's territory, there would definitely be a conflict.
The fleet could not withstand the aftermath of such a battle. Luan Xiaoe's order to stop was undoubtedly a wise decision. At this moment, she stood at the bow of the ship and looked into the distance. Her eyes were filled with yearning.
In terms of cultivation, she had already reached Yue Yao's limit. However, she was still unable to break through the shackles and see through the secrets of Sunshine. This time, she was leading the fleet to the Ten Thousand Mound Sea in hopes of finding an opportunity. Otherwise, Jade Conch and Yue Yao would have been enough. They would have sent a mid-stage Yue Yao instead of her.
Lu Ye looked into the distance. He wanted to sense who was stronger and who was weaker. However, no matter how he tried, he could not figure it out.
However, from the bottom of his heart, he hoped that the blue bird would win. After all, he owed the blue bird a debt of gratitude. If there was a chance in the future, he might even be able to hitch a ride.
The butterfly star beast was different. The dust that it scattered when it flapped its wings was very strange. If it weren't for Lu Ye's Innate Skill Tree, he would have definitely made a fool of himself like Wangu Liu and the others.
No one knew when this battle had started. The fleet only felt the aftermath of the battle when they arrived, so they had no idea how long it would last.
The fleet waited here for more than ten days, but the battle still did not seem to be over. It seemed like it would continue for a long time.
Luan Xiaoe knew that they could not continue waiting like this. The battle between the Sunshine Star Beasts might not end even after waiting for several years. The fleet could not afford to waste so much time here. After discussing it with Lu Ye, they decided to take a small detour. Although this would take a bit more time, it was better than waiting aimlessly.
The fleet continued to set sail, gradually leaving the area covered by the aftermath of the battle. A simple detour took nearly a month. They had originally planned to leave the Thousand Mound Grave in a month, but in the end, it took them two months.
Just as the fleet was about to leave the range of the Thousand Mound Grave, a powerful aura suddenly approached them from behind.
Lu Ye, who was cultivating in his cabin, felt his heart skip a beat. He quickly went to the deck and looked back, only to see a colorful streak of light rapidly approaching them from behind.
The corner of Lu Ye's eyes twitched. He felt that this trip to the Ten Thousand Elephant Sea was really unlucky! He had seen the strange dust that the butterfly star beast scattered. Therefore, when he saw that the butterfly star beast was heading in the same direction as the fleet, he immediately warned them. At the same time, he sent a voice transmission to Luan Xiaoe, asking her to change the course of the ship. They had to avoid the star beast no matter what.
Luan Xiaoe also knew that the situation was not good. Even if she did not know the background of the butterfly star beast, with Sunshine chasing after them, anyone would feel scared.
She immediately followed Lu Ye's advice and steered the ship to the side. The ships and starships behind them hurriedly followed.
A short while later, the butterfly starbeast flew past the fleet of starships. The cultivators of the three realms on the starships were all staring at it with nervous expressions on their faces.
However, what made them feel slightly relieved was that the star beast did not even look at them, as if they were nothing. It just flew past them, leaving the colorful streak of light behind it.
Lu Ye clearly saw that the butterfly star beast had many terrifying wounds on its body. Even its wings seemed to be a little tattered.
It was obvious that it had suffered a loss in the previous battle. If it was the blue bird that he had seen before, he wondered how the blue bird was doing.
However, looking at the butterfly star beast's posture, it should have been defeated, which was why it left the Thousand Mound Grave. Thinking about it this way, the blue bird was indeed stronger.
"Old Wan, why is your face so pale?" On a starship in the Land of the Nine Provinces, Gan Wudang looked curiously at Wan Guliu, who was standing beside him. They both worked in Haotian City in the War Province. One was the head of the Law Department, while the other was the head of the Official Department. They met frequently, so they were naturally familiar with each other.
Beside Gan Wudang, Fan Xiangyi also looked at him with concern. "Are you okay?" Wan Guliu shivered and said stubbornly, "I'm fine, I'm fine. I just caught a cold. I'll go back and rest for a while." After saying that, he quickly slipped back into the cabin.
Gan Wudang and Fan Xiangyi were left confused. He was already a member of the Nine Provinces. How could he catch a cold? Wasn't this nonsense?
However, since Wan Guliu was unwilling to say, they could not force him. They only secretly paid more attention to him in the next few days.
Wan Guliu of the Land of the Nine Provinces was not the only one who caught a cold. Zhou Xingzhi of the Qingli Daoist World and Tao Yan of the Yushui Daoist World also caught a cold.
The three of them had almost forgotten about that terrible experience. Who would have thought that the butterfly star beast would appear in front of them again?
Fortunately, Lu Ye warned them early this time, and Luan Xiaoe's decision was fast enough. The entire fleet avoided the area covered by the streak of light.
Otherwise, the scene of the entire fleet and 500 Nine Provinces singing and dancing together … was unimaginable. The fleet successfully left the Thousand Mound Grave and entered another part of the starry sky.
This was not the Indefinite Galaxy. It was just a nameless region. Looking at the starry sky, there were many such regions. They were basically barren star regions with no value.
For tens of thousands of years, except for star beasts, very few cultivators had set foot in this place. However, when Lu Ye passed through this place, this was the territory of the Insect Race. The Insect Race's nest was right in front of them, almost at the border of the Indefinite Galaxy.
