Luan Xiaoe was about to step down from her position as the First Island Master, but she came to inform Lu Ye, the Third Island Master. This would never happen on any other Spiritual Island.
"Senior Martial Sisters, what happened?" Lu Ye's expression turned serious. To be honest, ever since the Three Realms cultivators came to the Wanxiang Sea, Luan Xiaoe had always been in charge. She had done a good job.
Lu Ye was a little confused by her sudden appearance today. Yan Miao was the same.
Luan Xiaoe looked at him and said, "I'm going into seclusion for a while. I'm not sure how long it will take. The same goes for the First Elder."
Lu Ye's heart skipped a beat. Realization dawned on him, and he looked delighted. "Congratulations, Senior Sisters."
Both Luan Xiaoe and Yan Miao were at the peak of the Yue Yao realm. If they were going into seclusion, there was only one thing they could do — break through the Yue Yao realm and ascend to Sunshine!
This was undoubtedly great news for the Three Realms Island.
After so many years of nourishment from supreme-grade Spirit-Refining Pills, were they finally going to bear fruit?
If Luan Xiaoe could really take that step, then she would truly become the first Sunshine cultivator in the Jade Conch Galaxy!
If Yan Miao ascended to Sunshine, the significance would be equally great. For countless years, only the royal bloodline of the Merfolk Tribe had a chance of ascending to Sunshine. This was because of the bloodline curse. If Yan Miao succeeded, then the Merfolk Tribe would also have their own Sunshine. Their living conditions under the sea would be much better.
However, it was not so easy to ascend from Yue Yao to Sunshine. There were countless galaxies in the universe. Which one did not have their own Yue Yao? Although the number of Yue Yao in the cultivation world was not as large as the number of constellations, there were still many of them. However, there were not many Sunshine cultivators.
"Senior Sisters, have you suddenly sensed an opportunity?" Lu Ye asked.
Luan Xiaoe shook her head. "Actually, the First Elder and I sensed an opportunity two years ago. However, the Three Realms Island was not completely stable yet. We were worried. Things are different now. The Purple Jade has been broken. I'm sure no one will dare to cause trouble for the island. We can go into seclusion without worry."
"I see." Lu Ye understood. "When do you plan to begin?"
"As soon as possible." Luan Xiaoe replied, "Five Yueyao. After Grand Elder and I leave, the Merfolk Clan will transfer Second Elder Yuxi and Fourth Elder Cheng Xin over to fill the vacancies. In the future, I'll have to trouble you to take care of Three World Island."
There were a few newly ascended Yue Yao on the island, but because they had just ascended, their cultivation was still insufficient, making it difficult for them to take on important tasks. Thus, they still had to be transferred from the Mermaid Tribe. After all, if there really was a battle, the Mermaid Tribe wouldn't care whether you were a newly ascended Yue Yao or not. When it was time to kill, they wouldn't show any mercy.
"Sure, sure." Lu Ye nodded repeatedly. He Baichuan's face appeared in his mind. Later on, he could hand over all matters of the Three World Island to He Baichuan. With Old Tang assisting from the side, it wouldn't be too bad.
After discussing some details with Luan Xiaoe and Yan Miao, the two women left.
They had to wait a few days for Yuxi and Cheng Xin to come over from the Mermaid Tribe's territory. Then, they would make a trip to the Island of Versatility to change the information of the island's guardian, Yue Yao.
Only then could Yuxi and Cheng Xin be considered the guardians of the Three Realm Island, Yue Yao.
As for where Luan Xiaoe and Yan Miao would go into seclusion … What place in the world had better conditions than a spirit jade mine?
Thus, the two women had to go to the Mermaid Tribe's territory.
There was another advantage to doing this — once they successfully ascended to the Sunshine Realm, no one would be alerted.
If they were allowed to stay in seclusion on the Three World Island, they wouldn't be able to hide the fact that they ascended to the Sunshine Realm. At that time, they wouldn't be able to stay on the Island of Versatility for long. Even if they didn't want to leave, they would have to leave. There was a precedent for this.
Since ancient times, there had always been a few Yue Yao who ascended to the Sunshine Realm on the Island of Versatility. However, without exception, they could only stay for a short while before leaving.
In the blink of an eye, the island's Yue Yao had two new guardians. The Island Master's ranking had also been changed.
Lu Ye had become the First Island Master of the Three World Island … This was indisputable. Even though the other Yue Yao were older than him in both cultivation and age, no one had any objections to him being the First Island Master.
The Three World Island was the most famous, and the strongest person on the island was the First Island Master. This was a deterrent to outsiders.
When others mentioned the Three World Island, they would think of the number one person under the Sunshine Realm.
He Baichuan became the Second Island Master, followed by Ma Shang Si, Yu Xi, and Cheng Xin.
Perhaps because of the battle with Zi Xuan, the Three World Island had become more and more lively recently. The flow of customers had more than doubled. This made many shopkeepers rejoice that they had chosen to set up shop here in the first place.
However, they were also a little worried because they didn't know if the rent would increase in the future.
Luan Xiaoe and Yan Miao went to the Merfolk Tribe's territory to cultivate in seclusion. Lu Ye also began his own seclusion.
Speaking of which, he had long since planned to break through to the late-stage Yue Yao. However, he had always been delayed by various things.
Now that he had defeated Zi Xuan, no one would come looking for trouble, right?
He left his Talent Tree clone on the island, while his main body dove into the sea. He activated the Talent Tree's power and opened his mind to refine the seawater.
Time passed.
Two months passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, on the bustling and bustling Island of the Three World, a young man with a dignified appearance strode through the spacious streets, and he sized up the surroundings with great interest.
Soon, the young man arrived at a place.
This was the boundary between the Three World Island's trade area and the island's cultivators' residential area. If he continued forward, he would arrive at the island's cultivators' residential area.
Under normal circumstances, cultivators who came to the Three World Island to do business wouldn't come here. There were also cultivators from the Three World Island guarding this place.
Seeing that the young man didn't change his direction and continued walking, a cultivator from the Three World Island immediately stepped forward and blocked his path. He raised his hand and gestured, "Halt. The area ahead is not open to outsiders. If you wish to buy or sell something, you may return."
The young man clasped his hands behind his back and smiled calmly. "I'm not here to buy anything. I'm here to see your First Island Master."
The cultivator blocking the way asked, "May I ask who you are? Why do you wish to see the First Island Master? "
"There are indeed some matters I wish to discuss with him." The young man didn't answer directly. Instead, he took out a jade tablet and flicked it with a finger. "Please bring this to your First Island Master. He will naturally know."
The cultivator took the jade tablet and glanced at it. He couldn't see anything special about it. He couldn't help but look at the young man in front of him. Only now did he realize to his surprise that he couldn't see through the young man's cultivation.
This undoubtedly meant that the young man was most likely Yue Yao.
Moreover, although the young man looked young, his bearing was extremely steady. The first impression he had was that he had a powerful background.
Now that the Three World Island's reputation had spread, many people naturally came to pay them a visit. However, most of the cultivators who came were looking for Tang Jun. By now, everyone knew that Tang Jun was the true representative of the Three World Island. Thus, if they truly wanted to cooperate with the Three World Island, he was the best choice.
In the past, there had been people who had come to see Lu Ye, but after being turned down a few times, no one had come to see him again.
"Please wait a moment," the cultivator from the Three World Island said, then immediately turned and left.
Not long after, within Lu Ye's bamboo tower, the Innate Skill Tree clone carefully examined the jade tablet. He raised an eyebrow. "A young man?"
The cultivator who came nodded. "He's very young."
Of course, in the cultivation world, a youthful appearance didn't mean that one was truly young. It was possible that one was an old monster. The one who came this time was undoubtedly such an old monster!
Moreover, he was a true old monster. That was because there was an extremely faint but extremely pure demonic aura lingering on the jade tablet!
Lu Ye had a rough idea of the young man's background.
"Invite him in," Lu Ye ordered.
"Yes!"
After a while, the Innate Skill Tree clone was waiting in front of the bamboo tower. When he saw the young man who came in with the disciple, his expression couldn't help but turn solemn.
Ever since he returned from Che Ling Realm that day, he had been waiting for this day to come. He had also imagined what kind of method Rizhao of Zi Xuan would use if he really wanted to discuss the matter of Zi Xuan Island with him.
It was very likely that he would ask someone else to pass on the message and then ask him to meet somewhere.
However, Lu Ye had never expected that the young man would come over himself!
For someone like Rizhao, this was undoubtedly a bit condescending.
What was even more unexpected to Lu Ye was that the young man came over silently, without leaving any trace. Moreover, he even used the method of asking for an audience.
It wasn't that Rizhao couldn't come to the Three World Island. With Rizhao's status, if he came to the island in a domineering manner, it would be normal for him to show off his supreme prestige as a deterrent.
After all, everyone had a blood feud. There was no need to be so polite.
This demon … was not easy to deal with! This was Lu Ye's first impression of the young man when he saw him. Zi Xuan's huge change didn't seem to affect him at all. Along the way, he didn't show any resentment or other emotions on his face. Instead, he looked around with interest.
"First Island Master." The Three World Island cultivator who led the way came forward and cupped his fists.
Lu Ye nodded and waved his hand, dismissing him. He looked straight at the young man who followed him.
The young man also happened to look over. When their eyes met, the young man's clear eyes were like a deep pool. They were so deep that one couldn't see the bottom. What made Lu Ye slightly puzzled was that he seemed to have seen this guy somewhere before!
However, he couldn't remember at the moment.
"Three World Island, Lu Ye!" Lu Ye bowed first.
"Hei Yun." The young man nodded slightly and introduced himself.
Lu Ye could not suppress the doubts in his heart and asked bluntly, "May I ask, Demon Venerable, have we met somewhere before?"
On the Zi Xuan demon planet, Yue Yao was the king, while Rizhao was the supreme. Demons like Lionheart and Hu Guang were all Demon Kings. Hei Yun was a Demon Venerable. This wasn't a division of strength, but a division of the Demon Race's status system.
Hei Yun smiled and said, "Reincarnation Tree, Alpha Origin stage!"
Lu Ye was enlightened. He finally remembered where he had seen Hei Yun before.
When Yang Qing had brought him to the Reincarnation Tree to participate in the Battle of the Divine Sea, he had seen many experts from various domains in the hall. Hei Yun was from the Zi Xuan Demon Star, and at that time, he had also brought along a rising star called Zi Xuan.
