Three hundred years wasn't a long time, but it wasn't short either. The invasion of the Star Abyss had caused some impact on the One-Yuan Starry Sky. Cultivators' cultivation and breakthroughs had become more difficult than before. Even the number of Spirit Jades had decreased compared to three hundred years ago.
Another impact was the birth of a large number of Insect Paths!
The number of Insect Paths in the Starry Sky today was several times more than three hundred years ago, and this number was still increasing.
It seemed that the invasion of the Star Abyss had caused the entire Starry Sky to be scarred. The originally stable space had become easily broken. This was the root cause of the birth of Insect Paths.
There was one advantage to having more Insect Paths, and that was that it had become more convenient for cultivators to travel between places.
The nearest frontline battlefield was several galaxies away. With the help of the star map given by Leopard Five, Lu Ye and Jiu Yan found a nearby Insect Path and used it to cross a long distance.
A few days later, a huge floating fortress appeared in their field of vision. Looking at it from afar, Lu Ye was shocked. The refining skills of this Starry Sky were indeed much better than the one he came from. Such a huge fortress was simply a super battleship. It wasn't easy to refine it.
According to the mark on the star map, this Thunder Battle Fortress was one of the strongholds of the frontline battlefield. There were hundreds of such strongholds scattered in the Starry Sky, surrounding the entire battlefield in a circular shape.
The scale of the battlefield was also different from what Lu Ye had imagined. The frontline battlefield here was a vast Star Field that covered several galaxies.
Some information from Leopard Five made Lu Ye realize that if the Insect Path of the Star Abyss had not been contained in the initial stage, it would have brought a lot of trouble to the Starry Sky.
It was because of this that he felt very fortunate.
After the Insect Path of the Star Abyss was opened, it seemed to have alarmed the Constellation Palace. This supreme treasure suddenly exerted its power to seal it, which prevented the subsequent trouble. Otherwise, the Starry Sky would have been in chaos. As time passed, this chaos would have continued to spread until it was uncontrollable.
The arrival of the two had obviously attracted the attention of the Thunder Battle Fortress. After all, they were two Immortal State experts with unfamiliar auras. Jiu Yan, in particular, had almost reached the peak of the Immortal State.
At such a sensitive time, the Thunder Battle Fort would not ignore the appearance of any Immortal State Warriors.
Due to that, before the two of them could even reach the Thunderbolt Warfortress, a warship had already arrived. Formidable auras emerged from the warship to lock down on the two of them from afar. Those auras did not belong to cultivators. Rather, they were the many offensive magic arrays and magic treasures on the warship. Should the two of them make any reckless moves, they would be met with a storm of attacks.
There was also a figure standing on the deck of the warship, looking over warily.
Lu Ye and Jiu Yan stepped forward fearlessly and stood a dozen li away from the Battleship.
They could clearly feel that the Immortal State expert opposite them was scrutinizing them. She wore a beautiful human-shaped armor and looked like a woman. The armor was only as tall as two people. She held a round ball in her hand and waved it at Lu Ye and Jiuyan from afar. Then, she lowered her head to investigate.
When Lu Ye saw this, he immediately recalled Leopard Five's previous instructions and understood that this Immortal State expert was investigating his and Jiu Yan's origins at this moment.
Occasionally, some strange guests from the Star Abyss would sneak into the starry skies and cause trouble everywhere. Therefore, all the powerhouses in this Starry Skies of Single Essence had been uniformly registered. This way, even if they didn't know each other, they could still find out each other's origins through some means.
That round ball should be this type of tool.
However, Lu Ye and Jiuyan were new here. How could they have any records? The other party naturally could not find anything. However, under her perception, whether it was Lu Ye or Jiuyan, she did not sense any Star Abyss aura, which made her puzzled.
Star Abyss Outsiders were actually very easy to distinguish. Star Abyss aura could not be concealed at all, especially in front of Immortal State experts.
Puzzled, she asked in a delicate voice, "Where are the two of you from?"
According to the predetermined speech, Lu Ye stepped forward and cupped his hands from afar, "We are secluded cultivators. We have not come out of seclusion for hundreds of years. We suddenly heard the bad news of the starry sky and came to serve."
"Secluded cultivators …" The woman was stunned. In the first hundred years of Star Abyss's invasion, there were indeed some secluded cultivators who were forced to come out, and all of them had extraordinary strength. However, it had been three hundred years, so how could there still be secluded cultivators who did not care about worldly affairs?
After thinking for a moment, she beckoned, "Come over here and talk."
Lu Ye nodded and stepped forward with Jiuyan. Soon, they arrived at the Warship. The woman did not take off her armor, and many of the auras on the Warship were still firmly locked onto Lu Ye and Jiuyan. Obviously, she did not believe Lu Ye's words.
This was a matter of course. Even if she did not sense Star Abyss's aura from Lu Ye and Jiuyan, it did not mean that these two strange Immortals who had suddenly appeared were not a problem.
"Where were you two secluded cultivators before?" she asked.
Lu Ye casually mentioned the name of a galaxy, "It was the interior of a nameless desolate star. We had not left for hundreds of years. It was only a few days ago that we sensed some abnormalities and came out to investigate. Who knew that the starry sky would encounter a calamity."
Inside the armor, the woman frowned slightly. She had no way to investigate what Lu Ye had said. After thinking for a while, she said, "Forget it. Follow me into the Fortress."
If these two people were really suspicious, they would definitely be exposed after entering the Thunder Battle Fortress. Even if they were really Star Abyss's Outsiders, they would not be able to make any waves in the Thunder Battle Fortress. In the past, there had been Star Abyss's Outsiders who had tried to sneak in, but no matter how strong or weak they were, they all ended up in a miserable state.
The Warship quickly returned to the Thunder Battle Fortress and landed on a square.
Lu Ye looked around and found that there were not many cultivators in the Thunder Battle Fortress. A few cultivators did not seem to be very strong. He could not help but feel strange.
The woman in the armor called out, "Follow me. I will take you …" Before she finished speaking, she paused and listened attentively as if she had received some instructions. Then, she said, "The Fortress Lord wants to see you two. Follow me."
She was slightly stunned. Logically speaking, she had to bring Lu Ye and Jiu Yan to a special place to thoroughly verify that the two of them were not guests from Star Abyss. If there were no problems, then she would register the two of them.
However, she did not expect that the Fortress Lord would directly send her a message …
Since it was the Fortress Lord's order, she had to carry it out unconditionally.
After half an hour, the three of them came to a small courtyard. There were artificial mountains and flowing water in the courtyard. The environment was beautiful. There was also a pond. Beside the pond, there was a meatball sitting cross-legged.
The woman came to the meatball and cupped her fists. "Fortress Lord, I have brought them here."
The Fortress Lord nodded slightly. "You can go now."
"Yes!" The woman in the armor responded. She could not help but take a look at Lu Ye and Jiuyan before she left.
"Reclusive cultivator Lu Ye and Senior Sister Jiuyan greet the Fortress Lord!" Lu Ye went forward and bowed. He could not help but wonder what kind of cultivation technique the Fortress Lord was cultivating. How could he be so fat? This was a veritable meatball. His round head was on top of his body, and his neck could not be seen at all.
The Fortress Lord was fishing, but no fish took the bait. He turned to look at Lu Ye and Jiuyan and stretched out his hand with a smile. "Sit. Don't be so reserved."
Lu Ye said seriously, "We dare not be presumptuous in front of the Fortress Lord!"
There was no place to sit, so they might as well stand.
Moreover, this unbelievably fat Fort Lord gave him a very unique feeling. He couldn't sense the other party's depth at all. He quietly glanced at Jiu Yan and saw that Jiu Yan was also shaking her head with a solemn expression.
This was a powerhouse, and a very, very strong one at that!
Otherwise, Jiuyan would not have shown such an expression.
Lu Ye's heart skipped a beat. This Fortress Lord had probably cast his own Dao Foundation!
"Where are you two from?" The Fortress Lord asked with a smile, seemingly chatting.
Lu Ye was about to repeat what he had said before when the Fortress Lord said, "I am asking about the starry sky where you two came from!"
Lu Ye could not help but blink. "Fortress Lord, what do you mean?"
"Hehe …" The Fortress Lord turned his head and looked at Lu Ye and Jiuyan seriously. "If I did not see it with my own eyes, I would not believe it! You have no trace of Uniyuan Starry Sky on you, but you came from another starry sky? How did you come here? Was your starry sky also invaded by Star Abyss? "
He seemed to have a lot of doubts and could not wait to get answers.
However, Lu Ye's heart was filled with shock. He never expected that the other party would see through him and Jiuyan at a glance.
How could he tell whether they had any trace of the starry sky on them?
"Don't be afraid." The Fortress Lord seemed to see the concerns in his heart and comforted him, "If I had any malicious intentions towards you, I would not have let you come here. It's just that … this is the first time I have seen a cultivator from another starry sky, so I asked a few more questions."
Lu Ye calmed down and asked, "How did the Fortress Lord see through us?"
Since the other party had already pointed it out, there was no point in continuing to play dumb. Instead, he might even offend the other party, so he might as well admit it. Moreover, he could feel that the Fortress Lord did not have any malicious intentions towards him and Jiuyan.
The Fortress Lord said, "I did not see through you, but someone told me."
Someone told him? Who? Since this person was the Fortress Lord, it meant that he was the strongest person here. If even he could not see through them, who else could see through these secrets?
"As for who told me, it's not convenient for me to tell you." The Fortress Lord winked at Lu Ye. His eyes were small to begin with, so he could not see through them.
"Can you tell me about you now?" The Fortress Lord asked.
Lu Ye thought about it for a moment, and it seemed that there was nothing he couldn't say. Moreover, after being exposed, he felt relieved and said, "We do come from another First Yuan Starry Sky. The invasion of our Star Abyss hasn't officially started yet, but there are some precursors ….."
He immediately told the Fortress Lord about his previous experiences.
The Fortress Lord listened carefully.
After a while, he showed a look of understanding, "A ghost palanquin? I have never heard of it … In other words, you came here because of the ghost palanquin? "
"Yes, but after bringing the ten of us here, the ghost palanquin disappeared without a trace. We don't know how to go back."
