In the end, the red talisman and the treasure coin were only external sources of power. Lu Ye actually preferred the latter.
He continued to maintain the spirit inscriptions on the Pan Shan Saber and circulated his magic power. Every time he completed a cycle, the accumulated power would increase slightly.
This feeling of gradual improvement was very comfortable. As for the strand of consciousness he had to divert … it was not a burden to Lu Ye at all.
Back when he was in the True Lake Realm, he had already used the Talent Tree to create a doppelganger. At his current level of cultivation, multitasking was a basic skill for every cultivator.
"Holy Sovereign, we're almost there." Ma Shangsi's voice came from the Star Boat.
Lu Ye looked around and realized that they had arrived at the place where he had left the Soul Tribe's ancestral land.
This was the territory of the Cave Void Galaxy. There was an invisible passage that connected to the Starry Sky Pond. Ordinary cultivators could not enter or even detect it. Only the Soul Clan could use their Soul Orbs to communicate with the Ancestral Land and let the Ancestral Land take them in.
Lu Ye did not have a Soul Orb, but his Rainbow Divine Lotus could replace it.
Ma Shangsi's speed was not bad. It took the two of them less than ten days to arrive at this place from the Yin Yang Great Millstone. This was under the condition that they did not travel at full speed. One had to know that it took Lu Ye almost two months to get to the Yin Yang Great Millstone from here.
After a cultivator's cultivation base improved, the benefits of traveling also manifested. The time spent in space travel would inevitably be greatly reduced.
Lu Ye estimated that if he were to return to the Nine Continents from the Wanxiang Sea, it wouldn't take that long.
He used the Rainbow Divine Lotus to sense his surroundings and pointed to a direction for Ma Shangsi.
Although this place was not far from the invisible passage, it was still not the right place. If they wanted to return to the Soul Tribe's ancestral land, they could not deviate too much.
The Star Boat traveled for another half a day before Lu Ye asked Ma Shangsi to stop.
"Put the Star Boat away," Lu Ye ordered.
Ma Shangsi obeyed.
Lu Ye looked at him and said, "I'll put you in a place. When you're in there, behave yourself. Don't scare the flowers and plants inside."
Ma Shangsi was a little confused. He did not understand what the Holy Sovereign meant, but he still nodded respectfully.
Only then did Lu Ye's mind surge, and he sent a message to Hua Qianying in the Flower World, asking her to cooperate with him.
He could borrow the Rainbow Divine Lotus and have the ancestral land take him back, but Ma Shangsi couldn't. Flesh and blood couldn't enter the Soul Race's ancestral land, unless it was a sacred beast like Hu Po.
Lu Ye could be considered a half-spiritas now, but he wasn't willing to break the ancient rules of the spiritas. Besides, he wasn't sure if he could bring Ma Shangsi in even if he did so.
If there was a chance, Yang Kai would have to find someone he could trust. Even if Ma Shangsi was his Blood Warrior, he didn't want to expose his Soul Race Ancestral Land to her.
Therefore, if he wanted to bring this fellow back to the Land of the Nine Prefectures, there was only one way right now, and that was to put him into the flower world!
As his Divine Sense fluctuated, the void in front of Lu Ye began to distort, gradually transforming into a door.
Even though Ma Shangsi was already at the late-stage Moon Jade Realm, he was still shocked to the core by this technique. He couldn't understand how Lu Ye had done it.
"Go in," Lu Ye said.
Ma Shangsi didn't dare to hesitate and hurriedly plunged into the door. When he reappeared, he was already in the flower world.
Over at the flower world, Hua Qianying and Mu Xia had already been notified by Lu Ye in advance, so they weren't too surprised to see Ma Shangsi suddenly appear.
Ma Shangsi, on the other hand, was stunned. The Wood Spirit Race and the Spore Race weren't very common in the Starry Sky, and this realm gave him a strange feeling.
He had thought that the Holy Master had a small world, but now it seemed that this wasn't a small world, but a true realm.
Even though he was experienced and knowledgeable, he didn't immediately associate it with the World King Flower. The main reason was that the World King Flower was too rare, and it was basically impossible for it to attach itself to a cultivator.
After Ma Shangsi was settled, Lu Ye used his Rainbow Divine Lotus to communicate with the Soul Race's ancestral land.
He had done this once before, so he wasn't unfamiliar with it. Lu Ye quickly discovered that after his cultivation had improved, the efficiency of communicating with the Soul Race's ancestral land had increased significantly.
The last time he did this, it took him two hours, but this time, it only took him two hours.
The passage to the ancestral land opened, and just like the first time Lu Ye saw Li Shang, a blooming lotus appeared in the void.
He hurriedly flashed into the lotus, and by the time the lotus closed, he had already disappeared.
Somewhere in the Soul Race's ancestral land, Lu Ye appeared out of thin air. Under the nourishment of this special environment, his body and mind felt much more relaxed.
The World King Flower had always been in his Divine Sea, constantly devouring his soul force. Although he was constantly replenishing it, using external forces to replenish his soul force was ultimately a temporary solution.
It was different after coming to the ancestral land. Here, he could refine and absorb soul force everywhere, and Lu Ye suddenly felt the burden on his Divine Sea lessen.
This feeling was like a mortal who had been in a claustrophobic environment for a long time, and then suddenly came to a vast land.
Lu Ye felt that if he stayed here, the World King Flower wouldn't be able to put any burden on him.
A powerful aura suddenly approached, and it was very familiar.
Lu Ye turned his head and quickly saw a familiar figure appear in his field of vision.
The other party was obviously surprised, "Little Friend Lu? Why are you … "
He hadn't been gone for long, three months at most, so why had he suddenly returned?
As the elder on duty, Xu Yuan was responsible for monitoring all abnormal movements in the ancestral land. No matter how quiet Lu Ye's return was, it couldn't escape his perception, so he came to take a look.
He didn't expect to see Lu Ye here.
Thinking about it, there weren't many clansmen coming in and out of the Soul Race's ancestral land. Even if clansmen above Yue Yao went out to travel, they wouldn't return in a short time. Which clansmen didn't go out for decades or even centuries?
No one had ever returned after three months.
"Your cultivation …" Xu Yuan quickly discovered another problem. Lu Ye's cultivation had reached Yue Yao's.
He was clearly at the peak of the Star Constellation Realm before.
"I made a breakthrough," Lu Ye replied with a smile.
Xu Yuan looked at him seriously and nodded, "It seems little friend Lu Ye has gained a lot."
"It's just so-so."
Although that was what he said, thinking about it carefully, he had gained a lot in the past few months.
Advancing Yue Yao's cultivation wasn't a big deal, but he had obtained a World King Flower and gifted it to the Flower Race, Wood Spirit Race, and Spore Race. He had also obtained a Blood Servant …
There was no need to mention the White Moon Crystal, which was a gift from Ma Shangsi.
In just a few months, Lu Ye had risen from the bottom of the Starry Sky to the middle of the Starry Sky. In the entire Starry Sky, Yue Yao was no weakling.
Knowing that Xu Yuan had come because of the commotion, Lu Ye said, "I'll go check on Hu Po and the others first. Elder, please take care of your business."
Xu Yuan nodded, "This old master is still at the Starry Sky Pond. If you need anything, feel free to find me."
Lu Ye thanked him. Seeing that Xu Yuan was about to leave, he suddenly asked, "By the way, Elder, where is Li Shang's Lotus Continent?"
The Soul Race ancestral land didn't have a star chart, so there wasn't much difference in the surrounding environment. Lu Ye's sudden return made it difficult for him to determine his direction.
Xu Yuan pointed him in a certain direction.
Lu Ye immediately rushed in that direction.
Not long after, a familiar five-colored Lotus Continent appeared in his field of vision. He excitedly flew in that direction. He could already see the shocked expressions on Yiyi and Hu Po's faces when they saw him when he turned around.
After parting a few months ago, the little girl definitely felt that they wouldn't be able to see each other again for a long time. Lu Ye also felt the same way at the time.
Who would've thought that he could become half a Soul Race clansman with just a Rainbow Divine Lotus? He even had the ability to communicate with the ancestral land.
The Lotus Continent was in full bloom, and it was completely silent. Not a single person could be seen.
However, Lu Ye knew that every Soul Race clansman had their own space on the Lotus Continent. They wouldn't be disturbed by outsiders, and this made it convenient for them to cultivate.
Therefore, even though there was no one here, they were all inside the Lotus Continent.
Lu Ye landed on the Lotus Continent and carefully identified the location that Yiyi had chosen. Before he could find it, a head suddenly popped out from nearby. The head then revealed a surprised expression, "You haven't left yet?"
Li Shang was indeed very surprised. Logically speaking, Lu Ye should've left a few months ago. She didn't know why she saw him again today.
She thought that Lu Ye hadn't left yet.
"I left, but I'm back." Lu Ye didn't treat himself as an outsider. He looked around and said, "Where's Yiyi's home?"
Li Shang revealed herself and pointed to a location for Lu Ye, "It's here. However, Yiyi is in seclusion. Do you want me to wake her up?"
Not only was Yiyi in seclusion, but all the ancestors of Immortal Essence City were also in seclusion!
They had never come into contact with such an excellent cultivation environment. In the past few months, Li Shang had taught them all kinds of secret techniques of the Soul Race. As long as they succeeded in their cultivation, they would be a true Soul Race clansman.
Therefore, whether it was Yiyi or the ancestors of Immortal Essence City, they all entered seclusion to cultivate. They knew that such an opportunity didn't come easily. No one was willing to waste time.
Li Shang was also in seclusion. She had obtained the Rainbow Divine Lotus from the lotus pond last time. She intended to use it to break through her shackles and advance to Yue Yao. She had accumulated enough in the constellation.
However, she was the master of this Lotus Continent. Therefore, when Lu Ye arrived, she sensed it and took the initiative to show herself.
If it weren't for Lu Ye, she would've continued her seclusion.
"Seclusion …" Lu Ye knew that he came at the wrong time. No, he should've expected it. However, it seemed that he couldn't give her this surprise. "No need to shout. I won't be able to stay long."
Although the environment in the ancestral land was good, he couldn't really stay here forever. The sooner the World King Flower was placed in the Nine Regions, the sooner the World King Flower and the Nine Regions could be harvested.
