Half a day later, Lu Ye stopped cultivating because he found that there were many impurities in his magic power that could not be refined and would pollute his body.
This was obviously related to the Star Abyss Qi. Lu Ye suspected that the impurities were the Star Abyss Qi.
Since there was such a problem, he naturally could not cultivate anymore. Otherwise, his magic power would become more and more turbid, and his strength would become weaker.
He could only polish the Soul Subduing Secret Technique.
Time flew, and two months passed.
The two hid in a good place. During these two months, they did not encounter any disturbances. There were a few times when there were sounds of fighting nearby, but Lu Ye did not pay attention to it.
On this day, Jiu Yan, who had been in a state of cultivation, slowly opened her eyes.
Lu Ye sensed something and quickly turned to look at her.
Jiu Yan looked at him and shook her head.
Lu Ye knew that she should not have made much progress in these two months. He comforted her, "Take it slow. According to the records in the jade slip, it is not easy to cast the Dao Foundation. Some people took more than ten years to succeed, and the shortest record was half a year. Senior sister, you only took two months."
"That is true, but..." Jiu Yan was a little disappointed.
These two months of cultivation weren't completely fruitless. According to the records of the Furnace Method, she was trying to cast her dao foundation. However, the progress was very slow. At this rate, she didn't know how many years it would take for her to become a furnace and fuse her entire foundation.
She and Lu Ye were now stranded here. Although the Thunder Battle Fort had accepted them, they were not cultivators of the One Yuan Starry Sky. They had no one to rely on.
She wanted to become stronger as soon as possible. Only then could she have a certain degree of self-protection in this environment.
Her expression became firm, "Junior brother, I want to go deeper."
Lu Ye pondered for a moment, then stood up and said, "Then let's go."
Jiu Yan stopped him and looked at him seriously, "I will go alone. You go back to the Thunder Battle Fort."
If Lu Ye's cultivation was the same as hers, qualified to cast the Dao Foundation, they would naturally help each other. However, Lu Ye was only in the early Sunshine Realm. He was still far from her level. She did not want Lu Ye to take the risk with her.
Lu Ye blinked. "Senior Sister, you're underestimating me. In terms of cultivation, I'm indeed inferior to you, but if we're talking about methods to fight enemies … I have two Attribute Treasures in my possession."
Jiu Yan still wanted to say something, but he was no longer willing to listen. He took the lead and flew forward, calling out to Jiu Yan, "Let's go."
This was the first time Jiu Yan had seen such a domineering side to Lu Ye. She was stunned for a moment. Seeing Lu Ye walk further and further away, she hurriedly chased after him. "Junior brother, you don't have to take the risk."
Lu Ye tilted her head to look at her and smiled. "Then let's part ways here? If I go this way, where will Senior Martial Sister go? "
"I'm serious!" Jiu Yan was a little annoyed.
"Shh … there's movement." Lu Ye suddenly raised a finger to his lips.
Jiu Yan was shocked. He quickly looked around, but found nothing. When he turned around, Lu Ye had already run far away. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Due to the limitations of their strength, Lu Ye and Jiu Yan moved cautiously. Their speed was not fast.
Whenever they sensed the commotion of a fight, the two of them would immediately find a place to hide.
Lu Ye couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive. Ever since he started cultivating, he had never experienced days of being on tenterhooks, afraid that an unrivaled expert would suddenly appear nearby.
Fortunately, their luck was pretty good. They didn't encounter a single battle for half a month. There were a few times when they encountered enemies who could fight them, but they still avoided them, afraid that the aftermath of the battle would attract even stronger experts.
Half a month later, the Star Abyss's aura was undoubtedly more than twice as strong as before.
There were already late Sunshine Star Abyss experts here. Both Jiu Yan and Lu Ye knew that this was the true limit. If they went any further, they would be courting death. There was no telling when they would run into someone who had forged their dao foundation.
Enemies of that level weren't something they could fight against at their current stage.
Lu Ye found a floating continent formed from a star fragment. There was a huge hole in it that extended in all directions.
It was a natural place to hide.
Jiu Yan was obviously very satisfied with this place. Just like before, she found a place to cultivate. Lu Ye set up a concealment array and sat not far from her. This way, they could help each other in time if there were any problems.
Lu Ye didn't know how Jiu Yan was doing. He was polishing the Soul Subduing Secret Technique while thinking about something.
It was about Ma Bin.
Ma Bin had forged his dao foundation. Lu Ye didn't know how Ma Bin had done it. Based on the information he had, it was impossible to do it without coming into contact with the Star Abyss's aura.
But Ma Bin had indeed done it. That was why he was so strong.
But … Ma Bin didn't seem to have the kind of strength he should have. Take this front line battlefield for example. Experts who had forged their dao foundation were simply crushed by Starry Sky cultivators who didn't even have dao power. The latter were like ants in front of the former, unable to resist.
But Ma Bin didn't seem right. He was strong, but he was only a little stronger than Changfeng and Jiu Yan.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been injured when he was besieged by Changfeng and the others.
Lu Ye thought about it for a long time. He felt that this was a problem with dao power. Ma Bin had indeed forged his own dao foundation, but he probably didn't have much dao power. That was why he was so strong. He wasn't even as strong as the ox monster. That ox monster didn't have a dao foundation, but he had dao power!
Thinking about it this way, Lu Ye faintly felt that the dao foundation was more like a container, a container for dao power!
Ma Bin had this container, but it was empty. That was why he couldn't display his strength.
But if this container was damaged, why did it have to be repaired in the spirit jade mine? Logically speaking, if one's dao foundation was damaged, only dao power could repair it.
Was there dao power in the spirit jade mine?
Lu Ye had entered and exited the spirit jade mine more than once. Now that he thought about it, he suddenly remembered something.
Vein source!
Every spirit jade vein had its own vein source, and there was more than one. The larger the spirit jade vein, the more vein sources there would be. The spirit jades and spirit crystals were all nurtured near the vein sources. He had examined the vein sources before, and found that there seemed to be a mysterious power hidden within. It was a power that he could not understand.
Maybe … that was dao power?
So that's how it was. Dao power existed in the starry sky, but ordinary cultivators didn't have the chance to come into contact with it. Even if Lu Ye could come into contact with it, he wouldn't be able to comprehend it.
Also, vein sources shouldn't be the only vein sources that had dao power in the starry sky.
Treasures and attribute treasures should all have dao power!
Lu Ye had used the power of the sword gourd to attack the bull monster. Although he had blocked the attack, Lu Ye still remembered the bull monster's words.
At that time, the bull monster had been very angry and had said, "How dare you damage my dao power" …
Therefore, the power displayed by the treasure also contained the power of the Dao. This explained why the power of the treasure was so strong. Ordinary sunshine couldn't resist it at all.
If attribute treasures were so powerful, then true treasures must be even more powerful. After all, attribute treasures were just derivatives of true treasures.
True treasures … were the condensation of dao! Lu Ye was enlightened.
Suddenly, a violent tremor broke Lu Ye's train of thought. He hurriedly checked his surroundings. When he realized what was happening, his face fell.
There were strong cultivators fighting nearby. Judging from the aura that spread out, both sides were at the late stage of the Sunshine Realm. They were about the same as the bull monster, maybe even stronger.
Ordinary late stage Sunshine cultivators wouldn't be able to create such a big aftermath. Therefore, Lu Ye immediately concluded that both of them had dao power.
They weren't Starry Sky cultivators, but two strangers from Star Abyss fighting!
This was very common. According to the many years of observation of Starry Sky cultivators, the strangers from Star Abyss didn't get along peacefully. They fought and killed each other even more frequently than Starry Sky cultivators.
If one really counted, only thirty percent of the strangers from Star Abyss who died in the front line battlefield were killed by Starry Sky cultivators. The remaining seventy percent were killed by each other.
The aura of Star Abyss was evil. The creatures born from Star Abyss seemed to be born bloodthirsty and cruel. They were synonymous with destruction.
Jiuyan also opened her eyes. In the darkness, the two looked at each other and restrained their aura to avoid being detected by the two strangers from Star Abyss.
Similar situations had happened several times in the past few months, but they never affected the two.
However, their good luck seemed to have run out this time. The aftermath of the fierce battle was getting closer and closer. Soon, it reached the floating continent where the two were hiding.
"Let's go!" Lu Ye knew they couldn't hide any longer. Once the floating continent shattered, the two would be exposed. It was better to take advantage of this opportunity to leave.
As soon as he finished speaking, he and Jiuyan flew out together.
But it was too late. The battle between the two strangers from Star Abyss engulfed the floating continent. Under the violent power, the floating continent shattered. Lu Ye and Jiuyan desperately urged their magic power, but they couldn't maintain their balance. They were both tossed up and down by the violent aftermath.
Jiuyan grabbed Lu Ye's hand in a timely manner, not letting him leave her side. She desperately urged her own power and stabilized her body with great difficulty.
When she looked up again, her eyes were filled with despair.
At some point, a figure had appeared in front of them. It was an insectoid. Although this guy had a human body, he had a sinister mandible. His whole body was stained with blood, and the thick carapace on the surface of his body showed many signs of shattering. He was also carrying a limp, badly mangled body in his hand.
Clearly, the battle just now had already determined life and death. This insectoid was the victor, and the corpse in his hand was his spoils of war.
The insectoid had two pairs of eyes on his face. Under his normal eyelids was a pair of long, narrow eyes. He gloomily stared at Jiuyan and Lu Ye. Then, he raised the corpse in his hand and put it to his mouth, biting it until his mouth was full of blood. (End of Chapter)
