If this method didn't work, then there was no need to continue. If it worked, then it wouldn't be too late to continue.
However, when he met Yan Miao's bright eyes, Lu Ye knew he didn't have to ask. The Talent Tree's power could indeed resolve the curse!
"Young friend, I …" Yan Miao opened his mouth, but was at a loss for words. He didn't know what to say.
Although he was basically sure, Lu Ye couldn't help but ask, "Is it working?"
"Yes!" Yan Miao nodded heavily, looking at Lu Ye with bright eyes. "I can feel that the curse's power in my body has decreased."
Only decreased … it hadn't been completely destroyed.
This was within his expectations. After all, time was a bit short. When he helped Luo Xie and the others destroy the dancer's power, it had taken some effort. The curse of the merfolk was even more difficult to deal with than the dancer's power. After all, it was passed down through the bloodline.
"How long does Great Elder estimate it will take to completely resolve the problem?" Lu Ye asked.
He asked this mainly because the Azure Sea Snail's door was about to open. If he didn't hurry back, the door would disappear.
Yan Miao also realized this. He pondered for a moment and said, "I estimate it will take at least four hours."
Four hours … it definitely wouldn't be enough.
Lu Ye frowned. In this situation, if he wanted to continue helping Yan Miao destroy the curse, there were only two choices. One was to go back first and come back when the Azure Sea Snail could be used again. However, under the premise that time was limited, they still couldn't resolve the problem in one go. They would have to come back a third time, a fourth time …
Even if they had a month, it wouldn't be enough.
This was just Yan Miao. Although there weren't many merfolk, there were still quite a few of them. They couldn't keep using this method. Who knew how long that would take?
If this choice didn't work, then he could only ignore the door and let it disappear. He would help Yan Miao completely resolve the problem here.
Then he would swim out of the Wanxiang Sea …
This was somewhat risky. Lu Ye had tried it before, but there were many terrifying star beasts in the sea, forcing him to give up halfway.
However, it was different now. If Yan Miao escorted him, it wouldn't be a big problem.
Soon, Lu Ye made a decision.
He hoped that the Mermaid Clan would be the most reliable ally of the Three World Island in the future. If he could help the Mermaid Clan get rid of the curse, it would be greatly beneficial to the Three World Island. It was understandable that he would take some risks.
"Let's continue!" Lu Ye said, raising his hand.
Miao Yan hesitated. "But young friend, this door should be disappearing soon."
Lu Ye said, "Indeed, so I'll have to trouble Grand Elder to send me off later."
Mistress Yan immediately understood and felt grateful. She nodded and said, "Don't worry, little friend. I will definitely send you out safely!"
Raising his hand, he placed it on Lu Ye's palm and closed his eyes, waiting excitedly for the changes that were about to happen to him.
As time passed, Lu Ye constantly urged the power of the Talent Tree, carefully controlling it so as not to cause more damage to Miao Yan.
A moment later, the Azure Sea Snail's door disappeared without Lu Ye noticing.
Since he had already decided to let Miao Yan escort him, he didn't need to care about whether the door was still there or not.
Yan Miao's estimation wasn't too far off. About four hours later, she suddenly opened her eyes. Her eyes were sparkling. Even though the Talent Tree's power had been incinerated, causing some injuries to her body, the feeling of her body and mind suddenly relaxing made her understand that the power of the curse in her body … had completely disappeared!
It was an indescribable feeling. It was as if she had always been carrying a shackle to survive, but because she had always been carrying it, she hadn't been able to sense it. It was only now that the shackle had suddenly disappeared that she suddenly felt the difference.
Lu Ye noticed her movements and opened his eyes to look at her. Seeing this, he knew that everything was fine. He stopped urging the Talent Tree's power and asked, "Does Grand Elder feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
Yes, the injuries to her body were indeed uncomfortable. No matter how gentle the Talent Tree's power was, it couldn't be harmless to her. However, compared to her current relaxed state, this kind of injury was completely negligible.
Miao Yan's eyes were slightly red, as if she wanted to cry.
This was because there really was a solution to the problem that had plagued their race for countless years in her generation. Moreover, this was the first time she had personally experienced it.
She bent her knees slightly and bowed to Lu Ye in an extremely solemn manner. "Thank you, young friend. Miao Yan will never forget this kindness. The Merfolk Clan … … will never forget this kindness!"
Lu Ye hurriedly raised his hand to support her. "You're too polite, Grand Elder."
These words … … sounded a little familiar. Back when he returned to Apeiron after the great battle with the vampires of the insectoids, those Rizhao said the same thing.
He thought for a moment and said, "Grand Elder, are you sure that the curse in your body has disappeared?"
Miao Yan nodded. "Although there's no direct evidence, I can basically confirm it! If you want to verify it, you'll have to try it out. "
In any case, they had to escort Lu Ye out of the Wanxiang Sea. Miao Yan immediately decided that she would also leave the Wanxiang Sea when the time came and see the situation. If there were no more tragic endings like her ancestors' bloodlines, there was no doubt that Lu Ye's method had worked.
Lu Ye immediately understood her thoughts and couldn't help but say, "Grand Elder, why don't you find another member of the clan? We should be more cautious about this kind of thing."
Miao Yan was the Grand Elder of the Merfolk Clan after all. The Merfolk Queen was still young, so it could be said that Miao Yan was the de facto leader of the Merfolk Clan. If something happened to Miao Yan, then the friendship between the Merfolk Clan and the Merfolk Clan would probably be ruined. Regardless of whether it was for public or private reasons, Lu Ye didn't want Miao Yan to try it out herself.
Even if something happened to another member of the clan, the impact wouldn't be too great.
However, Miao Yan shook her head and said, "There are some things that I have to personally experience to know the details of. Moreover, no one in the clan is stronger than me. If something happens, I can return to the Wanxiang Sea immediately. Young friend, you don't have to worry too much!"
Since she was so insistent, Lu Ye couldn't dissuade her.
"I'll recover a bit first. Young friend, please wait for a moment." Miao Yan walked to the side and sat down cross-legged. She took out a recovery pill that Lu Ye had given her and swallowed it.
Lu Ye originally wanted to discuss the matter of the recovery pill with her, but he could only endure it. In any case, he was already here. There would be plenty of opportunities to turn back. There was no need to rush.
Bai Lu walked over. She had seen what Lu Ye and the Grand Elder were doing just now. She had also heard their conversation. She was secretly excited. She didn't think that the problem of the Merfolk Clan's curse would really be solved just like that.
Although the Grand Elder still had to personally verify it, it was still a very big hope.
Bai Lu walked up to Lu Ye and expressed her thanks with a solemn expression.
The two of them chatted for a while. Lu Ye asked her about how she felt about breaking through to Yue Yao here, as well as the details of the process.
He wasn't far from Yue Yao. Sooner or later, he would take this step. Thus, there was no harm in understanding it in advance. Moreover, Lu Ye wanted to know if his previous thoughts were correct.
After listening to Bai Lu's detailed explanation, Lu Ye realized that his thoughts were correct.
He didn't need the help of the Constellation Hall or any other treasures to break through to Yue Yao.
This was because Bai Lu said that the main function of the Constellation Hall was to help a cultivator purify the spiritual power in their body. This way, the higher the purity of the spiritual power, the easier it would be to convert it into magic power. Naturally, the process of breaking through would be easier.
Furthermore, the higher the purity of the spiritual power, the higher the starting point of breaking through to Yue Yao. This was because the magic power converted from spiritual power would be stronger.
There was a difference in strength between Yue Yao who had just broken through to Yue Yao. The problem lay in the might of their magic power. The root of this difference was the purity of their Constellation Realm spiritual power.
Lu Ye's spiritual power didn't have the slightest bit of impurity ever since he started cultivating. There was no need to purify it. Thus, he really didn't need the help of the Constellation Hall to break through to Yue Yao.
Although he didn't need the help of the Constellation Hall, he still needed to find a suitable cultivation art to use during the process of breaking through to Yue Yao.
During the process of converting spiritual power into magic power, if a cultivator relied on their own efforts, it would take twice the effort for half the result. Thus, a long time ago, there were cultivators who researched cultivation arts specifically used during this process. These cultivation arts could help a cultivator convert their spiritual power.
This type of cultivation art was useless during normal times. It was specifically used during the process of breaking through to Yue Yao. Thus, cultivators jokingly called it the Dragon Gate Cultivation Art.
The Dragon Gate Cultivation Art was a general term. In the entire starry sky, there were countless Dragon Gate Cultivation Arts. Every race and every force had their own Dragon Gate Cultivation Art. They were neither good nor bad.
Although there wasn't much of a difference between good and bad, for cultivators, there was a difference between suitable and unsuitable.
What cultivators needed to do was find a Dragon Gate Cultivation Art that was suitable for them.
The Myriad Elephant Trading Firm sold this item, so Lu Ye had never been in a hurry. Moreover, Lu Ye had many Yue Yao by his side. Every Yue Yao had passed through this stage, and they had also grasped many Dragon Gate Arts. When the time came, all he needed to do was ask around and find a suitable one.
This was one of the benefits of connecting to the starry sky. If the Nine Provinces remained stagnant, even if the Constellation Halls cultivated to a level where they could break through to Yue Yao, they would only spend more time and effort to break through to Yue Yao.
Lu Ye took the opportunity to ask Bai Lu about the Mermaid Clan's Dragon Gate Cultivation Art. Bai Lu didn't hide anything and directly said that the Mermaid Clan had more than a dozen Dragon Gate Cultivation Arts. She would engrave them and give them to Lu Ye later.
Lu Ye thanked her.
Not long after, Yan Miao recovered.
She was a late-stage Yue Yao cultivator. Even if she wasn't a body cultivator, her physique was no joke. Her previous injuries weren't serious, so she naturally didn't need much time.
Lu Ye reached out and pushed open the doors of the Constellation Hall. Several people filed out.
After everyone left, the doors of the Constellation Hall slammed shut.
Bai Lu took out the golden conch that could repel seawater and create a vacuum space. She blew on it, and the surrounding seawater immediately dispersed.
Lu Ye nodded inwardly. When he traveled with Yan Miao later, he had to ask her to bring this golden conch along just in case. He didn't want to use up too much fuel for his Talent Tree. If that happened, he would be in a dilemma in the Myriad Elephant Sea.
