Once the Immortal Essence Defenders were settled down, they were reborn and began to cultivate eagerly.
Moreover, with Li Shang's guidance, they could begin to cultivate the secret techniques of the Spiritas. Correspondingly, without the restriction of the Soul Pool, their strength could grow like normal Spiritas.
Lu Ye looked forward to the day when he would see them again. He wondered what kind of earth-shattering changes they would undergo.
Yiyi was also cultivating in her own small space with Hu Po by her side.
She seemed to be using this method to tell Lu Ye that she wouldn't waste her time. When they met again, she would definitely give Lu Ye a shock.
Lu Ye wasn't in a hurry to leave the Spiritas' ancestral land. Instead, he wandered around for a few days.
Although he could sense that the Spiritas were peaceful, he still wanted to observe more.
After a few days, Lu Ye discovered that this place was indeed very peaceful. There was basically no fighting. Most Spiritas were quietly waiting in their own lotus lands. A few wandered outside, but they all seemed carefree.
The only thing that puzzled Lu Ye was that the Spiritas' experts were very friendly to him!
Over the past few days, Lu Ye had traveled to many Lotus Continents. Not just Yue Yao, he had even met several Spiritas from Rizhao. Although none of the Spiritas had any deep interactions with him, these Spiritas powerhouses were all very friendly and friendly when they met.
This puzzled Lu Ye, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that it might be because of Hu Po.
Even though the leader of the Spiritas didn't express much when he saw Hu Po, Hu Po was still a sacred beast of the Spiritas, and he had a very close relationship with Hu Po. Perhaps the Spiritas loved Hu Po as much as they loved him?
This kind of environment made Lu Ye feel very relieved. It was unlikely that Yiyi would be in any danger if she stayed in this place.
Putting aside all his worries, Lu Ye returned to Li Shang's lotus land. He found Li Shang and bid her farewell.
"Fellow Daoist, are you leaving now?" Li Shang asked.
Lu Ye said, "I can't stay here forever. I still need to ask for Fellow Daoist's guidance on how to leave."
Li Shang said, "Then come with me to see the elder on duty. If the Spiritas want to leave the ancestral land, they can only do so if the elder on duty approves."
She had snuck out before. She thought that she would be punished when she returned, but she didn't.
Lu Ye glanced in the direction of Yiyi's home, then turned his head and said, "Let's go."
There was no need to say goodbye. It would only add to his troubles.
Following Li Shang, Xiao Chen flew to the lotus land where the elder on duty was. In just over two hours, they arrived at a seven-colored lotus land.
There were only a limited number of Rainbow Lotuses in the entire ancestral land of the Soul Race. Only the Soul Race of Sunshine had the right to occupy them.
This Seven Colored Lotus Land was not big. When Li Shang led Lu Ye to land here, the elder on duty clearly sensed it and took the initiative to show himself.
Lu Yiye looked up and saw an old man. He hurriedly bowed respectfully. "Lu Yiye of the Nine Heavens greets Elder Xu Yuan!"
Li Shang had already informed him of the elder's name in advance.
Although Xu Yuan had heard of Lu Ye's existence from Hun Que, this was the first time he had seen him. He could not help but observe him carefully. He was really curious as to how such a weak human could trigger the will of the ancestral land and make the will of the ancestral land pass down such an order.
He couldn't really be the reincarnation of that almighty being, right? That was just too ridiculous.
Putting away his thoughts, Xu Yuan chuckled. "My Soul Race rarely receives guests. Little friend, you're the first one since ancient times."
"Please forgive me for disturbing you." Lu Ye blushed with shame. Speaking of which, he should not have entered uninvited. However, this was not his fault. At that time, he only wanted to take Hu Po out. Who knew that he would be wrapped in the lotus and brought here?
He was forced to do so.
Xu Yuan said, "It's fine. It's not that my Soul Race does not welcome outsiders. It's just that the ancestral land has never accepted outsiders. Little friend, you must be extraordinary to be able to enter the ancestral land."
He secretly probed, wanting to know why Lu Ye was accepted by the ancestral land.
However, Lu Ye clearly had no intention of explaining. He could not mention the Talent Tree to others. Moreover, he could not explain why the Talent Tree could resonate with the Soul Race's ancestral land.
Xu Yuan was helpless when he saw that Lu Ye did not answer. He could only ask, "Little friend, what brings you here?"
Lu Ye said, "Elder, please forgive me. I want to leave here, so I hope elder can make things convenient!"
Xu Yuan was stunned when he heard this. Lu Ye wanted to leave? How could that be? The Soul Race had not taken care of him yet.
There were still a few days before the lotus pond opened. He naturally could not let Lu Ye leave now.
Hearing that, Xu Yuan immediately revealed a difficult expression. "If it were normal times, Little Friend wants to leave, there's no problem. But now, it's a little difficult."
"Why?" Lu Ye frowned slightly.
Xu Yuan said, "Not hiding from Little Friend, my ancestral land's lotus pond is about to open. During this period, the ancestral land's space can't be entered or exited."
Li Shang said curiously by the side, "There's such a thing?" Why had she not heard of it?
Xu Yuan glared at her. If this old man says so, then say it. Don't interrupt! The matter of leaving the ancestral land without permission, I haven't settled the score with you yet!
According to the rules, he, the elder on duty, could punish Li Shang who violated the clan's rules while he was on duty. Even confining her for ten to twenty years was no problem.
Sensing Elder Xu Yuan's unkind eyes, Li Shang hurriedly shut up.
Although Elder Xu Yuan had always treated people amiably, Li Shang kept feeling that he was somewhat strange today.
Furthermore … the lotus pond was actually about to open. Calculating the time, it should not be time yet!
Lu Ye said, "Then how long do we have to wait?"
Xu Yuan said, "Not long, not long. The lotus pond opens in a few days, and then closes in a few days. At that time, Little Friend can leave."
That was nothing. It was nothing more than staying here for a few more days. This bit of time, Lu Ye could still afford to wait.
He was just about to say that he would come again after the lotus pond closed in a few days, but Xu Yuan suddenly chuckled and said, "Little Friend, are you interested in participating in my soul clan's lotus pond struggle?"
Lu Ye was still unclear about what the lotus pond struggle represented. But when Li Shang heard this, she could not help revealing a shocked expression.
Elder Xu Yuan … was muddle-headed, right?
The lotus pond struggle had always been a major event on the soul clan's side. Furthermore, the spots had always been limited. The soul clan itself did not have enough. Now, it was actually going to be given to an outsider?
She naturally did not have any objections to Lu Ye. She was just very shocked that Elder Xu Yuan would say such words.
Lu Ye was also quite surprised. "I can participate?"
Xu Yuan smiled and said, "As my soul clan's first guest since ancient times, you can!" Pausing for a moment, he opened his mouth and said, "If Little Friend is interested in participating, later when the lotus pond opens, let Li Shang bring you over. You can also understand what the lotus pond struggle is from her. This old man still has important matters here and won't keep you company first."
Originally, he was still not very anxious about opening the lotus pond. But Lu Ye wanted to leave now, so he naturally had to make the best use of his time. He had to hurry up and contact several old friends to open the lotus pond.
Lu Ye left together with Li Shang again.
He felt that Li Shang's gaze when looking at him was strange. Although he did not understand why, he was certain that it had something to do with that lotus pond struggle.
And through Li Shang's explanation, only then did Lu Ye understand what the lotus pond struggle was.
There was a treasure land in the soul clan's ancestral land, that was the lotus pond. Inside the lotus pond would give birth to a kind of peculiar divine lotus. If the soul clan could refine and subdue it, it would have tremendous benefits to their own growth.
It could be said that every soul clan member had a dream to refine a divine lotus!
But since ancient times, all the soul clan members who had the qualifications to enter the lotus pond were those with the greatest aptitudes. Li Shang herself had never obtained such qualifications, so every time the lotus pond opened, she could only watch helplessly.
The qualifications to enter the lotus pond were extremely precious among the soul clan. Almost every soul clan member who entered the lotus pond would gain something. If they could successfully refine a divine lotus, they would benefit for the rest of their lives!
Listening to Li Shang's explanation, Lu Ye could not help but be stunned.
He really could not understand why Elder Xu Yuan would let him participate in such an important event for the soul clan.
He did not want to measure the heart of a gentleman with the yardstick of a villain and maliciously speculate about others, but this matter was a bit ridiculous. If he participated, the soul clan would have one less spot.
But thinking about it, even if Xu Yuan had some ulterior motives, there was no need for him to do this.
Could it be because of Hu Po? But if that was the case, this spot should have been given to Yiyi, why would it be given to him?
Since he could not understand, he could only go take a look when the time came. If there really was something wrong with the lotus pond, with the uniqueness of his talent tree, he should be able to detect it.
Lu Ye stayed in peace for a few more days.
In these days, the soul clan's ancestral land was clearly much livelier. Outside the lotus pond, there were many soul clan members coming and going. This was something Lu Ye had not seen before, clearly because the lotus pond had opened.
According to Li Shang, every time the lotus pond opened, the soul clan would be very lively. Because the ancestral land was too peaceful, nothing major happened. So when the lotus pond opened … everyone could go and watch the show!
Lu Ye was speechless. He increasingly understood just how boring life was here.
Thinking about it, although this place was peaceful and quiet, it also lost a lot of excitement. When it was lively, it was naturally very attractive.
Several days later, a group of figures set off from the five colored lotus pond. Not only were there Li Shang and Lu Ye, but Yiyi and Hu Po also came.
Yiyi would likely live here for a long time in the future. Although she did not have a spot for the lotus pond this time, she could fight for it next time. There was no harm in taking a look in advance.
What delighted Li Shang was that she actually had a spot to enter the lotus pond this time!
Logically speaking, she did not have this qualification. Thinking about it, he felt that it was probably because he had brought back the Holy Beast and performed a great merit, so Elder Xu Yuan had rewarded him with this spot.
In truth, there was no need for Li Shang to lead the way. Because along the way, Lu Ye saw many soul clan members heading in the same direction. That was undoubtedly where the lotus pond was.
Wherever they went, they attracted the attention of countless soul clan members, causing a great commotion!
Even if they had never seen the white tiger, the soul clan knew of the existence of the Holy Beast. But, the previous generation's Holy Beast had died ten thousand years ago. So, the soul clan members never imagined that there would be a Holy Beast in the ancestral land!
On the other hand, Lu Ye's existence did not attract too much attention from the soul clan. On the surface, the soul clan looked similar to the human race. If Lu Ye did not circulate his spirit energy, the weaker soul clan members would not be able to see any clues.
