Lu Ye had spent almost a year cultivating this time.
A year later, his main body returned from the sea.
He could not continue cultivating. His consumption of fire elemental resources was too terrifying. Since half a year ago, even though the Three World Island had done their best, the fire elemental resources they purchased were not enough to make ends meet.
This caused his cultivation to be intermittent.
There was still some fuel left in the Talent Tree, but it was not good to continue using it. He had to have some backup just in case.
Lu Ye's cultivation had indeed improved a lot in this year's cultivation, but it was far from breaking through to the mid-stage. After Ri Ri, the accumulation required for a breakthrough was obviously much greater than before.
Under observation, although the Talent Tree had some changes, it was still not to the extent of metamorphosis. Lu Ye could not even determine how many rare fires it needed to devour. He only knew that the fourth metamorphosis of the Talent Tree was a bottomless pit.
This did not discourage him. Instead, he was somewhat excited because the Talent Tree needed so much this time. This meant that once it completed its metamorphosis, there would definitely be a huge change.
Back then, Zhao Nian of the Nine States had not reached his level. In terms of growth alone, he had undoubtedly surpassed the previous Dao Tree successor.
In a mere year, the Wanxiang Sea had not changed much. After the Insect and Blood Race's conspiracy was exposed, the conflicts between the various factions had decreased a lot.
Now, many powerful factions and powerful cultivators were investigating the Insect and Blood Race. At the same time, they were trying to find out the secret behind the Great Trend's descent. Unfortunately, no one had made any substantial gains so far.
Lu Ye did not stay on the Three World Island for long. After a few days, he instructed Old Tang and the others to continue purchasing fire elemental resources. Then, he disguised himself and left the Three World Island.
He was going to the Hengyue Galaxy, which was the former Nine States Galaxy.
Ma Bin had said something to him before he left, so he wanted to know what was in the Hengyue Galaxy that could satisfy his need for fire elemental resources.
Before he left, Lu Ye brought along a large number of spiritual jades, spiritual crystals, and spirit-refining pills to ensure that he could use these resources to cultivate even if he was outside.
The former Nine States Galaxy was directly connected to the Wanxiang Galaxy by a Bug Path.
Lu Ye had once chatted with Ma Bin and asked him curiously why he wanted to kill Wanxiang's Ri Ri. Did the Wanxiang Galaxy have a deep grudge with the former Nine States?
Ma Bin's answer was that many factions had joined forces to besiege the Nine States Galaxy. The reason they could successfully gather was because of the Wanxiang Galaxy.
Those factions came from all parts of the universe..................
. Wanxiang Galaxy was involved in the operation against the former Nine States Galaxy.
The past was like smoke. The cultivators back then were basically all dead. Only some of the long-lived races, such as the experts of the Yao Clan, were still alive. After so many years, Ma Bin's revenge was almost done. So, he did not reveal to Lu Ye which forces had participated in the siege of the Nine Provinces. Clearly, he did not want to continue this hatred.
The matters of the Nine Prefectures could be considered settled here.
All in all, it was very convenient for Vientiane to travel to and from the galaxy where the Nine States were located.
..........................................
Lu Ye checked the condition of the insect path and confirmed that it was still stable, so he continued to move forward.
............
The exit of the tunnel was behind him. Lu Ye looked around and frowned.
Although he knew that this galaxy had declined, he didn't expect it to decline to such an extent. The stars that could be seen in other parts of the starry sky couldn't be seen at all here. The entire starry sky was shrouded in darkness, and even the starry sky's spiritual energy wasn't rich.
In such an environment, the production of Spirit Jades was much lower than normal places, not to mention the birth of a large realm.
Lu Ye immediately made a judgment in his heart. Such a place was basically better than some desolate star systems that had nothing at all.
Just as Lu Ye was thinking about which direction to go, there was a sudden movement behind him.
Lu Ye turned around and saw ripples at the exit of the tunnel. Vaguely, a figure was gradually appearing.
Someone was coming!
Sure enough, after only three breaths, two figures suddenly rushed out of the Insect Path.
It was a man and a woman. Because they had just passed through the tunnel, the energy fluctuations on their bodies were very obvious. The man was at the early stage of Yue Yao, while the woman was at the late stage of Constellation.
However, the two of them were holding hands intimately. They should be Dao companions or siblings. The auras on their bodies were scorching hot. Obviously, they were of the Fire Element.
They obviously didn't expect there to be someone at the exit of the tunnel. When they saw Lu Ye, they were shocked. Their eyes were full of vigilance, and they secretly circulated their energy.
Lu Ye had no interest in them. Moreover, he had already disguised himself, so the man and woman didn't recognize him as the Lord of the Wanxiang Sea.
In addition, Lu Ye didn't move and his aura was restrained. They couldn't see through him at all.
As if sensing that Lu Ye had no ill intentions, the man nodded slightly at Lu Ye. He pulled the woman, turned around, and rushed to the side. Soon, they disappeared.
Lu Ye ignored them. He looked up at the starry sky. 'Where should I go?'
Ma Bin only told him to come to the Heng Yue Galaxy but didn't tell him what was here.
However, if there was something in this galaxy that was useful to him, it shouldn't be difficult for him to find it with his Sunshine Cultivation.
'I'll take a look around. This is the galaxy where the Nine States are located. To be able to nurture a top realm like the Nine States, there should be something special about this galaxy.'
He randomly picked a direction and flew away.
Along the way, he didn't find anything. It wasn't until half a day later that he suddenly turned his head and looked in a direction. There were fluctuations of magic power coming from that direction, as if someone was fighting.
As time passed, the distance between them was getting closer and closer.
It wasn't a fight, it was being hunted.
Lu Ye focused his gaze over and chuckled. Because he saw that the people being pursued were actually the man and woman he'd seen at the exit of the Insect Path. At this moment, both of them were in a sorry state. The man's cultivation was slightly higher, so he was constantly executing techniques behind him with the intention of stopping the enemy, but it was of little effect.
It wasn't a cultivator chasing after them, but a star beast.
It was an oval-shaped star beast that was more than a hundred feet long. Its body was snow-white like a giant silkworm cocoon. There were ferocious mouths at both ends of its head and tail, with circles of spiral serrated fangs densely packed. The two fleeing people were obviously no match for such a star beast.
Lu Ye had never seen such a star beast before. This had nothing to do with experience. It was just that there were too many star beasts in the Starry Sky. Even the most knowledgeable cultivator wouldn't dare say that they knew all of them.
The two fleeing people didn't notice Lu Ye at first, but as they got closer, they finally noticed Lu Ye's aura. The man in the lead was stunned at first, but then he cried out in joy, "Dao Brother is merciful, please save us. My wife and I are willing to offer a Five-Star artifact as a thank you gift!"
He didn't know what Lu Ye's cultivation was, but he could feel that Lu Ye was stronger than him from their brief contact before.
Moreover, since Lu Ye dared to stand still, it meant that he had great confidence in his own strength.
Now that they were in such a situation, asking Lu Ye for help was undoubtedly the best choice. In order to make Lu Ye agree, he even offered a thank you gift.
There was no doubt that he had considered this carefully. They had met by chance in the Starry Sky, and they were still being hunted, so if he silently approached Lu Ye, it would undoubtedly be a disaster. If Lu Ye didn't have a good temper, they might be killed by Lu Ye before the star beast showed its might.
Of course, paying a Five-Star artifact was painful, but what was it compared to saving their lives?
After shouting, he carefully checked Lu Ye's movements. He didn't hear a reply, but Lu Ye still stood there, his attitude unclear.
There was no way to judge whether Lu Ye was willing to help or not …
However, the current situation didn't allow him to think too much. The man gritted his teeth and said, "Fight!"
He led the woman and quickly approached Lu Ye. It wasn't until the two of them passed by Lu Ye's side that the man was completely relieved.
Then, he vaguely sensed a wave of transcendence energy behind him. When he looked back, his expression froze.
This was because the originally overbearing Star Beast had been sliced in half from the middle. The two halves of the corpse were neatly cut, and they flew past the unknown powerhouse without a single drop of blood on his body.
Rizhao!
The man's heart trembled, and he immediately determined Lu Ye's cultivation.
The wave of transcendence energy just now couldn't be faked. Moreover, this star beast was at the late Yue Yao Late Stage. Only Rizhao could kill it so easily.
After calming himself down, the man brought the woman to stand in front of Lu Ye. He respectfully cupped his fists and said, "Thank you for saving my life, Senior!"
Lu Ye tilted his head and looked at them, feeling strange.
Senior …
He was certain that he was definitely younger than the couple. However, this was how the cultivation world worked. Strength was everything, especially in a place like this where there were few people. If the other party did not show sufficient etiquette, they would be casually killed, and no one would know.
Lu Ye calmed himself down and nodded slightly. He acted like an expert, and the couple felt even more reverence.
Oh, Rizhao, that was high and mighty, a height that they could never reach.
As promised, the man quickly took out a Five-Star artifact and respectfully handed it over to Lu Ye as a way to repay him for saving his life.
Lu Ye casually took it. A Five-Star artifact wasn't worth much to him, but it could be used to nourish Sword Qi for the Sword Gourd. This was something he deserved.
The woman even took the initiative to search for the star beast's corpse, took the crystal core from the corpse, and handed it to Lu Ye. Her intention to please him was obvious.
"Senior, are you also heading to the Giant Red Star?" the man asked.
Although Lu Ye appeared calm, since he was willing to help just now, he wasn't a cold-hearted person. This kind of powerhouse wasn't difficult to get along with, which was why the man dared to ask.
