On the way out, the three Rihos of Mount Fangcun in the east met. They looked at each other and saw what each other was thinking.
After a short while, the three of them flew out of Mount Fangcun and into space.
Turning around, Wu Qimo's pupils constricted. "It stopped!" he exclaimed.
Su Yuqing frowned. Chen Xuanhai's expression was grave.
The three of them had just noticed that something was wrong with Mount Fangcun. They had assumed that something had happened to the core, which was why they were filled with anticipation. However, when they came out, they realized that this wasn't the case.
"What does this mean?" Wu Qimo couldn't figure it out. What he was seeing was different from what he had expected.
Ever since the Blood Ancestor had broken Mount Fangcun, the three divisions had been separated, and the core had been lost. Since then, the three divisions of Mount Fangcun had been using the core's location as a reference.
This was why the Rihos of Mount Fangcun had been able to figure out where the core was hidden. All these years, they had been working hard to find the core. They had even sent Yue Yao, who had been carefully nurtured by them, to that wonder.
In the Rihos' minds, if someone could bring the core out of that wonder, then the three divisions of Mount Fangcun would immediately start moving toward the core's location and merge back together.
After so many years, they had all thought that Mount Fangcun had suddenly started to move.
However, what they were seeing now didn't seem to be the case.
If someone had really brought the core out of the wonder, then Mount Fangcun wouldn't have stopped moving. Instead, it would have turned around and flown toward the core.
This was what Wu Qimo couldn't understand.
Then, a hair-raising thought appeared in his mind. "The core … can't have been destroyed, right?"
If Mount Fangcun wanted to stop, it could be controlled. Previously, Mount Fangcun had stopped on the Ten Thousand Manifestations Sea for two months. However, this time couldn't have been too long. Otherwise, it would have affected Mount Fangcun's trajectory.
Now, none of the three Rihos had controlled Mount Fangcun to stop. The fact that Mount Fangcun had suddenly stopped made one's imagination run wild.
One possibility was that the core had been destroyed, which was why Mount Fangcun had stopped moving in the east.
Chen Xuanhai shook his head. "Although Mount Fangcun has been split, if the core was destroyed, the three divisions would definitely be shaken. Now that the east is peaceful, the core should be fine."
Su Yuqing nodded, agreeing with Chen Xuanhai's point of view.
"Then what's going on?" Wu Qimo scratched his head. He had never encountered such a strange thing in his life.
Su Yuqing's eyes flashed as she said, "There's another possibility!"
Chen Xuanhai turned to look at her.
"According to our analysis, the reason why the three Fangcun Mountains are unable to fuse with the core is because there is a type of isolating power in that wonder that prevents the fusion of the two. If that isolating power suddenly becomes much stronger and completely cuts off the connection between the core and the headquarters …"
This was because the headquarters was based on the location of the core. Now that the core was completely isolated, without this base, the headquarters' Fangcun Mountain stopped moving.
"The spectacle has changed!" Chen Xuanhai's frown deepened. If that was the case, it wouldn't be a good thing for the Minimen Tribe. After all, the core was inside the wonder. Who knew if this change would be good or bad for the core?
"That Lu Yiye has been there for more than three years, right?" Wu Qimo suddenly looked at Su Yuqing. "Do you think this change has anything to do with him?"
No one knew the answer to this question because the Minimen Tribe had no way of contacting Lu Yiye. Back then, Zhang Kun had left after sending Lu Yiye to the vicinity of the wonder.
Because he wasn't sure if Lu Yiye had gained anything from this trip, nor was he sure how long he would stay in the wonder, Zhang Kun couldn't possibly wait for him forever.
Su Yuqing was silent for a moment before suddenly turning to Chen Xuanhai. "Senior Brother Chen, I want to go and take a look." She was still a bit worried. In truth, she regretted telling Lu Yiye about the core. She hadn't expected Lu Yiye to immediately go and look for it.
Chen Xuanhai could roughly understand Su Yuqing's feelings and didn't try to dissuade her. Instead, he said, "Junior Sister, if you really want to go, there's no need to rush. No one knows the reason behind this change, and no one can guess what will happen in the future. There's no harm in waiting a few more days and observing the situation. Perhaps you'll discover something new … If there are no changes, it won't be too late to go then."
His words made sense. Su Yuqing suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and slowly nodded.
Chen Xuanhai raised his hand and said, "Let's go back first. Since there are changes here, the other two tribes should also have changes. Let's discuss it with those old fellows first."
The three Sunshine Tribes returned to the domain.
Another half a day passed. In an illusory palace, illusory figures appeared one after another. They were all the Spiritual Projections of the Sunshine Tribe experts of Mount Fangcun.
Although the three tribes were divided, they were still incomparably close. If they paid a price, they could even allow the tribes to communicate freely.
It was naturally not difficult to project one's Spiritual Consciousness to one place to discuss important matters of the tribe. Compared to meeting with one's Spiritual Consciousness in one place, the price to pay was much lower.
Just as Chen Xuanhai had predicted, not only did Mount Fangcun in the east stop moving for a moment, the same thing also happened in the south and west.
However, no one knew the specific reason. In the end, they could only conclude that the core was completely isolated, which was why there were changes in the three tribes of Mount Fangcun!
While the three Sunshine Tribes were gathered for a meeting, in the ancestral land of the Soul Race, Lu Ye drove the core to a five-coloured lotus land. From afar, he saw many figures moving about on the lotus land, many of whom looked familiar.
These figures were the Immortal Essence Guards of Immortal Essence City.
Lu Ye also saw a big white tiger, lying down and sleeping somewhere on the lotus land. Several figures were gathered around it with sincere and solemn expressions. It was unknown what kind of secret technique they were cultivating.
Soul power that seemed to resonate with each other surged out from Da Hu and the other figures.
The big tiger, who was sleeping soundly, seemed to have sensed something. It suddenly opened its amber tiger eyes and looked in Lu Ye's direction.
Then, it hurriedly got up and pounced happily at Lu Ye. It jumped high and turned into the size of a cat in midair.
Lu Ye smiled and grabbed it in his hand. After rubbing it for a while, the amber tiger closed its eyes and let out a satisfied purr.
After playing with it for a while, Lu Ye asked, "Where's Yiyi?"
As soon as he asked, he saw a door appear somewhere on the lotus land. Yiyi's little head poked out from it, obviously sensing something.
"Lu Ye!" Yiyi cried out in surprise. Just like the amber tiger, she pounced on Lu Ye and bumped into him. She wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her head in his chest.
Lu Ye held onto Hu Po with one hand and her waist with the other. They spun a few rounds before slowly coming to a stop.
Yiyi didn't want to let go at all.
Until Li Shang's voice sounded, "Fellow Daoist Lu!"
Lu Ye smiled and replied, "Fellow Daoist Li Shang, long time no see!"
A moment later, in Yiyi's residence, Lu Ye looked around with his hands behind his back. The lotus land was a very strange place. From the outside, it looked like a huge blooming lotus. This was also the habitat of the Soul Race.
The lotus lands in the Soul Race's ancestral land were divided into different grades depending on the color. The Sunshine Realm cultivators lived in seven-colored lotus lands, while the Yue Yao lived in five-colored ones.
Li Shang was only a Star Mansion back then, but she was qualified to live in a five-colored lotus land because she had done a great deed for the Soul Race and brought back a sacred beast.
There was no place to live on the surface of the lotus land, but because the Soul Race didn't have a physical body, they only needed to create the environment they needed inside the lotus land.
Yiyi's current residence was undoubtedly created by him. The furnishings inside were no different from the Jade Blood Sect's Green Bamboo Peak's Bamboo Tower.
Yiyi sat on the side, hugging Hu Po, who was the size of a cat. She tilted her head and looked at him, swinging her legs. Her eyes were filled with happiness.
Lu Ye walked to her side and sat down. He patted her head and asked, "Is cultivation tiring?"
Yiyi shook her head. "It's not tiring. I have Hu Po to accompany me."
Lu Ye glanced at Hu Po. "It only knows how to sleep. What can it accompany you for?"
Hu Po immediately howled, indicating that it was cultivating by sleeping. Besides, it was much stronger than before!
"Alright, I know you've become stronger!" Lu Ye tapped Hu Po's head.
It had to be said that Hu Po and Yiyi had grown tremendously over the past few years in the Soul Race. Lu Ye could sense that the spiritual beast and spiritual beast were not far from Yue Yao.
This was undoubtedly related to the unique cultivation environment in the Soul Race's ancestral land. In this kind of place, the Soul Race had a unique advantage in cultivation. Even if they didn't work hard, their cultivation would still slowly increase.
"I saw several Soul Race cultivators surrounding Hu Po just now. What were they doing?" Lu Ye asked.
Yiyi immediately explained, "Hu Po has taken in a few new servants. The Soul Race cultivators you saw were all carefully selected by the Soul Race. They have the most outstanding aptitudes. They have formed a symbiotic relationship with Hu Po, so they can cultivate and grow together, just like me."
Lu Ye finally understood. When he recalled the resonance he felt from the Soul Race cultivators and Hu Po, he knew that Yiyi was right.
"Did Hu Po do this willingly, or did the Soul Race request it?" Lu Ye asked.
Yiyi said, "The Clan Leader personally said it. He didn't request anything. Hu Po agreed because the more servants it takes in, the faster its strength grows. Correspondingly, my strength will also grow along with it."
Lu Ye nodded.
Yiyi could see his worry. She smiled and said, "Don't worry. The Soul Race values Hu Po very much. They won't force him to do anything he doesn't like."
"That's good. However, there's one thing. If you're unhappy here, tell me at any time. I'll take you away," Lu Ye said seriously.
When Yiyi wanted to follow Li Shang to the Soul Race's ancestral land to cultivate, Lu Ye was actually a little reluctant to let her go. However, the child had grown up. It wasn't a bad thing to have her own opinions. Most importantly, Lu Ye knew that he didn't have much time to accompany Yiyi.
Today was still the first day.
Yesterday, I was in a daze. I ate some porridge at night. Today, I don't have any strength at all. I'm sitting here writing, sweating all over. I still have to go to the hospital for an IV drip.
This time, the illness came with great momentum. I haven't felt this bad in many years. In the past, when I got sick, it was always a gradual process. This time, it was different...
