Within the Immortal Shadow Palace, Su Yuqing's voice rang out once more. "The three divisions of Miniscule Mountain have been planning this since many years ago. Our Yue Yao can't come into contact with the core, so we can only rely on outsiders. However, we can't trust the average outsider. After all, if we can find the core, it's practically the same as grasping the lifeline of our clan. Hence, the candidates we choose are usually those who have married into our clan and gone through a long period of investigation. They are all trustworthy candidates."
Lu Ye nodded in understanding.
The matter of Miniscule Mountain's core was extremely important. The Miniman Tribe couldn't do anything themselves, so they could only rely on outsiders. However, outsiders weren't completely reliable, so they could only bind them through marriage. However, this method wasn't very reliable either. After all, it was impossible to know what others were thinking or what their plans were.
Over the past countless years, the Miniman Tribe had sent many outsider Yue Yao to search for Miniscule Mountain's core. However, they all came up empty-handed. Not only did they fail to find the core, but even the people who went went went missing. No one knew if they were dead or alive.
"The main reason we're passing through the Ten Thousand Manifestations Sea and holding the Spirit Talisman Conference is actually to select suitable candidates."
Miniscule Mountain wasn't going to select Yue Yao from the Ten Thousand Manifestations Sea this time. The Yue Yao in the Ten Thousand Manifestations Sea were basically all from various major factions. They were extremely loyal to the factions behind them. There were too many variables if they were asked to work for the Miniman Tribe.
The Miniman Tribe wanted to select suitable Constellation Cultivators, especially those who were at the bottom and had decent aptitudes. If such people were brought back to Miniscule Mountain and nurtured, it would be very easy for them to develop a sense of belonging to Miniscule Mountain. If they married into the Miniman Tribe, their relationship with them would be more stable.
Once they were strong enough, they could then carry out this plan.
Of course, this matter required many years of preparation. It wasn't something that could be completed in a short period of time. However, the Miniman Tribe was in no hurry after waiting for so many years.
"Since you've stayed in the Ten Thousand Manifestations Sea for so many years, I'm sure you have some understanding of the cultivators here. Do you have any suitable recommendations?" Su Yuqing asked.
Lu Ye muttered to himself. He naturally didn't have any recommended candidates. However, if Miniscule Mountain really had such plans, then he had a suitable reference.
The ranking of the Constellation Hall Contest!
Although many years had passed, and most of the top ranked cultivators in the Constellation Palace Contest had already advanced to the Yue Yao Realm, there were still some who were still stuck at the Constellation Realm. If they searched according to this ranking, Mount Innerheart should be able to recruit some suitable talents. When the time came and they were nurtured, they would definitely become great talents.
However, Lu Ye did not mention this matter. Instead, he asked, "Yuqing, why do you say that those who obtain the core will be able to grasp the lifeline of the Hominid Tribe?"
Su Yuqing blinked, and a trace of shyness flashed across her bright cheeks — no one had ever called her so intimately.
After calming herself down, she explained, "The reason why the three parts of Mount Fangcun haven't been able to fuse together is because the core is in the Starry Sky Wonder. The Starry Sky Wonder has a strange power that prevents the other parts from fusing with the core. However, if someone brings the core out, the three parts of Mount Fangcun will immediately be attracted by the core and draw close to each other before fusing together. If that person has ulterior motives and places the core in a dangerous place, then Mount Fangcun will be doomed eternally."
Lu Ye's eyes lit up. "In other words, if I obtain the core, where can I choose for your Mount Fangcun to fuse?"
Su Yuqing looked at him leisurely. "Where do you want us to fuse?"
"How about the galaxy where my homeland is located?" Lu Ye asked. Jade Conch's biggest problem was that there was no Rizhao to oversee it, and it was located in a remote area. If Mount Fangcun was fused there, then the strength of the entire Jade Conch Galaxy would definitely increase explosively.
At that time, if there were any invasions like the Filth Race, he would not have to worry at all. Rizhao of the Hominid Tribe could easily deal with it.
Moreover, he did not have to worry about the Hominid Tribe having any ambitions that would be detrimental to Jade Conch. The Hominid Tribe had never been a race that liked to compete. In the galaxy, this tribe's reputation was still quite good.
Moreover, he had Su Yuqing as his connection.
The more Lu Ye thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was worth looking forward to.
Su Yuqing said, "As long as the three parts of Mount Fangcun can fuse smoothly, it won't be a problem to fuse it anywhere. Mount Fangcun is a Starry Sky treasure, and our tribe can control it to move."
That was not a big problem. As long as the Hominid Tribe was willing to stay in Jade Conch for a few years until Rizhao of Jade Conch Galaxy was born, it would be up to them to decide whether to stay or leave.
"You don't really want to go, do you?" Su Yuqing frowned.
If he was not sure if Mount Fangcun could fuse with Mount Fangcun in Jade Conch, Lu Ye would not have thought about it. However, if Jade Conch could gain a powerful backer in a short period of time, this was what Lu Ye wanted.
He spent most of his time in the Wanxiang Sea. Although he could quickly travel back and forth to Jade Conch Galaxy, if something happened there, the people of Jade Conch would not be able to contact him in time. He could not go back every once in a while to take a look. That would be too much of a waste of time.
The last time the Filth Race invaded, he happened to be in Jade Conch Galaxy. If he was not there, Jade Conch Galaxy would have become the Filth Race's backyard by now.
"It's really dangerous." Su Yuqing was already regretting mentioning this to Lu Ye. Mainly, she did not expect Lu Ye to be so strong. She originally thought that even if she could get Lu Ye to help, she would have to wait until later in Yue Yao's time. Perhaps things would take a turn for the better then.
"Everything is dangerous. I'll go and take a look at the situation first."
Su Yuqing looked conflicted. On one hand, she had to worry about the future of her clan. On the other hand, she had to worry about Lu Ye's safety. For a moment, she could not decide.
However, if she really wanted to talk about it, Lu Ye was indeed suitable for this task.
Firstly, he was strong enough. Su Yuqing had personally verified this. Secondly, he was trustworthy. In the past, Mount Fangcun had entrusted Yue Yao to Lu Ye. No one was more suitable than him.
After hesitating for a moment, Su Yuqing said, "If you really want to try, then wait until you reach Peak Yue Yao. At that time, you will be able to protect yourself better."
He had only just reached the middle stage of the Moon Jade Realm. Even if he continued to cultivate without stopping, Lu Ye estimated that it would take him at least a year to reach the peak stage of the Moon Jade Realm. If he were to miss something during that time, it would definitely take even longer than that.
He could afford to wait, but there was another problem.
"Once I reach Peak Yue Yao, how do I go to the Space Wonder?"
Su Yuqing said, "I will give you three routes to Mount Fangcun. When the time comes, you can see which route is closest to you and go there directly. My clan's Ri Ri will escort you there."
Lu Ye pondered for a moment. A year later, Mount Fangcun in the west would definitely be the closest to him. After his cultivation reached Peak Yue Yao, he would have to catch up to Mount Fangcun in the west. Then, he would find Ri Ri and escort him to the Space Wonder.
Who knew how much time would be wasted during this period?
He could not help but shake his head. "That's too troublesome. It's decided then. There's no time like the present. The west just happens to be in the Ten Thousand Elephant Sea. Give me a token, and I will go see Ri Ri in the west and ask him to send me there."
Su Yuqing felt a headache coming on. She glared at him. "Why are you so disobedient?"
Lu Ye was taken aback by the way this mother scolded her son. He looked at Su Yuqing for a moment. Then, he raised his hand. With a surge of transcendence energy, the doors to the Immortal Shadow Palace Hall closed.
"Come, come, come. Let's discuss this matter in detail."
Su Yuqing's expression immediately became flustered. She quickly changed her words. "Whatever you say!"
The Immortal Shadow Palace Hall had been inexplicably closed for three days. Now, it was suddenly closed again. If the disciples below knew about this, how would they feel?
Seeing Lu Ye sit down again, Su Yuqing heaved a sigh of relief.
Since she started cultivating, she was already Ri Ri. She had never been afraid of anyone. However, Lu Ye's attitude really made her flustered.
"There's one more problem," Lu Ye said.
"What?" Su Yuqing was a little wary.
"I've occupied a spiritual island in the Ten Thousand Elephant Sea. Previously, I offended Ri Ri of the Ten Thousand Elephant Sea. If I leave, I'm afraid he will secretly do something to my spiritual island."
Su Yuqing's face was full of disbelief. She really could not understand what Lu Ye had done in the Ten Thousand Elephant Sea. How dare he offend Ri Ri of the Ten Thousand Elephant Sea?
"You want our clan to provide some care for your spiritual island?" Su Yuqing understood his intentions.
"That's what I'm thinking." Lu Ye nodded. "I just don't know if the Fangcun Mountain has the ability to do so."
"How did you offend him?"
Lu Ye then briefly explained the conflict between her and Yuan Du. Hearing this, Su Yuqing understood, "If it's just this level of offence, it's not a problem." She had mistakenly thought that Lu Ye had fought with Yuan Du, but now she knew that it was not to such a bad extent.
After pondering for a while, Su Yuqing said, "I'll arrange this. You don't have to worry."
Lu Ye's heart was at ease. The feeling of having a backer was indeed different. Although he did not know what Su Yuqing was going to do, since she said so, Lu Ye had no worries.
"Then it's settled!"
Su Yuqing sighed. She could not help but exhort, "If the situation is not right, don't force yourself. Don't put yourself in danger!"
Feeling her concern, Lu Ye said seriously, "Don't worry. No matter if it succeeds or not, I will definitely come back alive!"
He secretly made up his mind. If it was really too dangerous, he would quickly run away. Although he also wanted the Fangcun Mountain to merge with Yu Conch and become its backing, in comparison, his own safety was naturally more important.
After a while, Haitang brought Yaya back.
Yaya had fallen asleep at some point and was held in Haitang's arms.
In the Celestial Shadow Palace, Haitang bowed and saluted, looking straight ahead. "Master!"
Su Yuqing said, "Send … Lu Ye off, then come back. I have something to tell you."
Haitang's eyes flashed. She seemed to have realized something. She replied respectfully, "Yes!"
Outside the palace, they set up the planetary boat and flew out with Lu Ye and Yaya. They did not speak along the way.
The main thing was that Haitang did not know what to say. She had many guesses, but she did not have clear evidence.
And she knew that her master would explain it to her later.
