The words of reprimand were at the tip of his tongue, but Lu Ye abruptly swallowed them back. With a soft and warm body in his arms, he could feel Yiyi's lingering fear and panic. He hurriedly patted Yiyi's shoulder: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. It's alright now."
"Waaaaah, so scary." Yiyi's sobbing grew louder, and her body trembled even more. Unfortunately, there were no tears in her eyes.
After comforting her for a long time, Yiyi finally calmed down. At the side, Hu Po was licking his paws with a speechless look in his eyes.
Yiyi was still curled up in Lu Ye's arms. Lu Ye grabbed her shoulder and straightened her in front of him. "Now you know how dangerous it is outside, right?"
Yiyi wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes and nodded her head like a chick pecking at rice. "I know!"
Lu Ye wanted to tell her to go back obediently since she knew! After all, they hadn't left the Ten Thousand Elephant Sea for long. It wouldn't take him more than a few days to send Yiyi back.
However, before he could say anything, Yiyi said, "Don't worry, Lu Ye. I'll definitely follow you!"
As she spoke, she grabbed Lu Ye's arm with a smile, as if she wouldn't leave his side.
The corners of Lu Ye's eyes twitched … Why did he feel like something was wrong?
He already knew that Yiyi was following behind him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have walked so slowly. If he really wanted to get rid of Yiyi, he could just pick up his speed. Hu Po wouldn't be able to keep up with him.
He thought that after experiencing this danger, Yiyi would change her mind. Who would have thought that this wasn't the case at all?
However … Lu Ye looked at her in surprise and pulled his arm away from her. "You've grown up. Don't act like a child!"
"I like it!" Yiyi snorted and grabbed Lu Ye's arm again.
Lu Ye was helpless.
Yiyi's eyes curved into crescents when she sensed his mood.
Given the current situation, it was probably impossible to drive Yiyi back. Even if he really did get rid of her, it would only cause her to take unnecessary risks. If the previous incident happened again, who could guarantee that Yiyi would be able to get through it safely?
With no other choice, Lu Ye summoned his Star Boat and boarded it with Yiyi.
Yiyi cheered and jumped for joy. She couldn't help but jump up and hold Lu Ye's face, kissing him on the cheek. "I knew Lu Ye was the best!"
Lu Ye rubbed the place where she was kissed in a daze for a long time before her expression turned serious. "Don't be so happy just yet. You'll come with me this time. As for whether or not you want to enter the Soul Race's ancestral land, we'll talk about it later!"
If he had the chance, he wanted to enter the Spiritas Ancestral Land and take a look. But according to Li Shang, the Spiritas Ancestral Land was a special place that only the Spiritas could enter. It was impossible for a creature of flesh and blood like Lu Ye to enter.
This was also one of the reasons why the Ancestral Land of the Soul Race had remained safe and sound since time immemorial.
Flesh and blood could not enter, and almost no one could break through the Spiritas' ancestral land. Not to mention, there were many Spiritas powerhouses, and the strength of their foundation was not inferior to any top domain.
Given the current situation, he could only bring Yiyi along with him and observe the situation later.
Yiyi didn't seem to care. She could tell that Lu Ye wasn't telling the truth. Once they arrived at the Spiritas Ancestral Land, she could just hide inside. Would Lu Ye be able to drag her out?
Lu Ye sat down cross-legged on the Star Boat and leaned into Yiyi's arms.
Once they arrived at the Spiritas Ancestral Land, who knew when they would meet again? Yiyi cherished this rare moment with him very much.
Half a month later, the entrance to the insect tunnel appeared in the distance. There was a floating continent next to the tunnel, and there were several palace-like buildings built on the floating continent.
This should be the base that the cultivators of Cangyue Galaxy had built here.
There must be a Yue Yao cultivator overseeing this place. All cultivators who entered and exited the tunnel had to be checked, and there were also Yue Yao cultivators on the other side.
Therefore, if one wanted to enter Cangyue Galaxy, they had to obtain the permission of the Yue Yao cultivator overseeing this place. However, under normal circumstances, this was possible because the cultivators of Cangyue Galaxy could also enter other galaxies through other people's insect tunnels. If everyone sealed their own insect tunnels and forbade others from entering, cultivators from other galaxies wouldn't be able to come and go.
It wasn't as vast as the fleets of the Three Realms and the Four Directions Galaxies that Lu Ye had brought with him. It was basically no problem for a single constellation to pass through.
When they arrived at the floating continent, Lu Ye put away the Spirit Boat.
Immediately, a cultivator who sensed the commotion came out from one of the palaces to greet them.
It was a mid-stage constellation cultivator, so he was naturally from Cangyue Galaxy.
The person overseeing this place was a Yue Yao expert, but there was definitely more than one Yue Yao. There was always a need for someone to help out and take care of trivial matters. Usually, the constellation cultivators who were assigned to this place to assist the Yue Yao of their galaxy had some background. This was because not only were they able to earn a generous monthly salary by working in this place, but they could also make some money.
This mid-stage constellation cultivator had a chubby face and big ears, which made him look charmingly naive.
Lu Ye immediately thought of Da Hai of the War Province. Generally speaking, it wasn't difficult to get in touch with people like this, provided that the benefits were in place!
The fat cultivator walked over and cupped his fists. "Greetings, Fellow Daoist. May I know what brings you here?"
Lu Ye returned the greeting and said, "I would like to borrow your galaxy's insect path. Please make an exception!"
The fat cultivator narrowed his eyes. "Borrowing the path … is a common occurrence. However, I hope Fellow Daoist will forgive me. I need to do some registration here, so I need to ask Fellow Daoist some questions!"
As he said so, he took out a jade slip and prepared to register it.
"Please ask, Fellow Daoist!" Lu Ye knew that this was a normal procedure. Even if Cangyue didn't care about a constellation cultivator entering, there were still some matters that needed to be investigated.
The fat cultivator immediately asked Lu Ye a few questions, such as his background, where he was currently residing in the Myriad Oceanic Body, his purpose of entering Cangyue Galaxy, and so on.
Lu Ye answered them one by one. There was no way to investigate his background, so Lu Ye said that he was Wushuang Lu Yiye. The fat cultivator could only record his name. As for his purpose of entering Cangyue Galaxy, Lu Ye told him that he was just borrowing the path to enter the next galaxy.
There was no way to investigate these matters in detail. Cangyue couldn't possibly send someone to accompany Lu Ye and send him away.
Therefore, the registration here was just a formality. This was also related to Lu Ye's low cultivation level. If Yue Yao or Rizhao were here, they wouldn't be treated like this.
The next part was the main event. The fat cultivator chuckled and looked at Lu Ye. "Fellow Daoist, you should know the rules. Two people and one beast, so …" He rubbed his fingers.
Lu Ye asked, "How do you accept?"
The fat cultivator said, "Based on the number of people, each person will be charged a thousand spirit jades!"
That was a little expensive!
However, this was reasonable. Once a cultivator entered another galaxy, they could collect spirit jades there. If the spirit jades of their own galaxy were plundered, they naturally had to pay a fee.
Although Lu Ye didn't have many spirit jades in his pockets, he still had one or two million spirit jades. He naturally paid the three thousand spirit jades without hesitation.
As expected, this kind of fat cultivator was usually greedy. As long as the spirit jades were in place, everything was fine. However, if the spirit jades weren't in place, who knew how they would make things difficult for him?
After accepting the spirit jades, the fat cultivator immediately took out a token. "Fellow Daoist, you can enter with this token. However, I still have to remind you of the rules. The spirit jades in Cangyue Galaxy … Fellow Daoist, you can't collect them!"
Although this was what he said, if Lu Ye really did it, no one would know. The prerequisite was that he didn't get discovered. Therefore, most cultivators who entered another galaxy wouldn't take it to heart even if they were warned like this.
"That's all?" Lu Ye took the token. He originally thought that he would have to meet with Yue Yao, who was overseeing this place. Who would've thought that a single constellation would be taken care of? He didn't even have to enter the main hall.
"It wasn't anything troublesome in the first place." The fat cultivator chuckled and bowed again. "Then, I wish Fellow Daoist a smooth future!"
"Many thanks!" Lu Ye thanked him, then led Hu Po and Yiyi towards the Insect Path.
Looking in the direction Lu Ye left, the fat cultivator's face became brighter and brighter. He was really happy. He had obtained another three thousand spirit jades! One had to know that even if he shared these spirit jades with his other senior and junior brothers, each of them would get several hundred spirit jades. Aside from overseeing this place, there was no other place that would receive this kind of free gift of spirit jades.
Soon, Lu Ye and the others arrived in front of the Insect Path. They could sense that this Insect Path was very stable. In other words, there wouldn't be any side effects if they passed through it.
This reminded Lu Ye of the Insect Path in Jade Conch. He was certain that the Insect Path was connected to the Wanxiang Galaxy. However, because it had only been born a few years ago, it hadn't stabilized yet. If he and Tang Jun hadn't used the Void Beast's core, they wouldn't have been able to escape.
He didn't know how long it would take for the Insect Path to stabilize. When that time came, it would be much easier for Jade Conch's cultivators to come to the Wanxiang Galaxy. They wouldn't have to waste several years.
Even the Four Cardinal Galaxies would benefit from it. When the time came, they could enter the Wanxiang Galaxy through Jade Conch's Insect Path. It would be much better than passing through the mist dragon and borrowing the Insect Path Cloud.
However, not every Insect Path would stabilize. Some Insect Paths were always in chaos and couldn't be used. Some Insect Paths might even collapse again. Therefore, whether or not Jade Conch's Insect Path could be used and when it could be used was completely up to the will of the heavens.
After passing through the Insect Path, the group arrived at the Cangyue Galaxy. There was also a floating continent here.
When Lu Ye and the others appeared, a cultivator came to greet them. He checked the token Lu Ye had spent three thousand spirit jades on and confirmed that there was no mistake.
Lu Ye summoned his Star Boat and flew in a certain direction under Li Shang's guidance.
Lu Ye had never figured out how to reach the Soul Race's ancestral land because Li Shang didn't tell him in detail. He only told him that he would know when the time came.
Moreover, the route Li Shang gave him only led to the Cangyue Galaxy. Lu Ye couldn't help but wonder if the Soul Race's ancestral land was in the Cangyue Galaxy.
But if that was the case, why hadn't it been discovered in the Cangyue Galaxy?
He couldn't figure it out. He could only confirm the specific situation when the time came.
