Inside the Mirage Realm, Lu Ye was surrounded by two streams of light as he wielded his Mountain Coiling Saber. Insects from the seventh layer fell to the ground one after another.
In her spare time while learning the Dao of Spiritual Tattoos from Madam Yun, Lu Ye found a suitable spiritual weapon from Hua Ci.
Right now, he was controlling two Spirit Artifacts. These two Spirit Artifacts were similar in appearance, and their power was also about the same.
Although he wasn't as talented as Li Baxian in the Dao of Artifact Manipulation, he was definitely not bad.
Because he was a Spirit Tattooist, his control of Spirit Energy was far better than cultivators of the same level.
And because of his Talent Tree, his Spirit Energy was extremely pure, so if Lu Ye wanted, he should be able to control three or even four Spirit Artifacts!
However, Artifact Manipulation was extremely taxing. Why were most Spirit Stream Realm cultivators only able to control Artifacts? It was because they couldn't control a second Artifact Manipulation. If they forced it, it would only greatly reduce the power of their Artifact Manipulation. It was better to focus on one Artifact Manipulation.
At this stage, Lu Ye felt that two Spirit Artifacts were enough for him. Any more and it would be a burden on him.
The two Spirit Artifacts flew back and forth, making it difficult for insects from the seventh layer to get close. Even if they broke through the blockade of the Artifact Manipulation and rushed to Lu Ye's front, they would only be courting death.
After a while, the Artifact Manipulation returned, and the corpses of nine insects were neatly lying around …
He had broken through the ninth layer!
The corpses suddenly disappeared, and a thick fog rolled in front of him, as if something was about to rush out.
[It's coming! It's coming!]
Lu Ye looked up expectantly.
When he was in the Sixth Order Spirit Stream Realm, he had killed his way through the ninth layer of the Insect Race. Then, a cultivator rushed out of the fog, but after that, he broke through to the Seventh Order. As a result, after entering the Mirage Realm, he started killing insects again.
Although killing insects could also temper one's fighting skills, it was not as effective as fighting cultivators.
So, Lu Ye had always wanted to kill his way through the ninth layer of the Insect Race to see if another cultivator would jump out. Before, his strength hadn't improved much, so he didn't waste his merit points.
Now that he could control two Spirit Artifacts, his strength had increased, so killing insects was much easier.
In the thick fog, a figure rushed out of the fog. The person held a long spear, which was surrounded by light, and stabbed straight at Lu Ye's face.
Lu Ye was overjoyed. It seemed like it was just as he had guessed. As long as he could kill all the insectoids in one go, he would be greeted by cultivators.
Of course, this was not a living person, but a mirage. He could not even see what the cultivator looked like, nor could he tell his gender. The cultivator was wrapped in a thick fog.
After an incense stick's worth of time, Lu Ye's eyes snapped open in the training room, his face slightly pale.
He raised his hand and rubbed his head. The Mirage Realm was a good place. The only flaw was that every time he died, his head felt like it was being pricked by a needle. It was extremely painful.
He had just killed several cultivators in the Mirage Realm. The way the cultivators appeared was not the same as the Insect Clan. The number of Insect Clan members increased gradually, from one to nine, but their cultivation level did not change.
As for the cultivators, their cultivation levels gradually increased, and there was only one of them.
However, those cultivators who were shrouded in thick fog and whose faces and genders couldn't be seen clearly were no different from living people when they fought. They could use the power of artifact controlling spells and knew some exquisite techniques.
Their cultivation level gradually increased from the Seventh Order to the Eighth Order, and then to the Ninth Order …
Because Lu Ye was fighting a tag-team battle, there was no chance for him to catch his breath. After each enemy died, a stronger one would rush out from the fog, so even if he went all out, he couldn't last long. When he faced the first Ninth Order Realm master, he was cut to pieces with a single flying sword.
Lu Ye was not depressed at all. Instead, he felt that it was worth it!
The feeling of death in the Mirage Realm was extremely real. This kind of tempering allowed him to constantly familiarize himself with the fighting styles of cultivators from various sects. This way, when he encountered enemies on the battlefield in the future, he would be able to deal with them.
Checking his Battlefield Mark.
Name: Lu Ye
Identity: Blue Blood Sect Disciple
Cultivation: One hundred and thirty-five apertures
Location: Spirit Stream Battlefield
Merit points: 2,950.
A cultivator with one hundred and eight apertures was at the Seventh Order, and one hundred and forty-four apertures was at the Eighth Order.
It had been almost a month since the Insect Tide. Even though Lu Ye had to study the Dao of Spirit Runes with Madam Yun during the day and only cultivated at night, he could not withstand the rich World Energy in the encampment. Furthermore, he had no shortage of Spirit Stones and Spirit Pills. Hua Ci had a lot of Spirit Stones and Spirit Pills, all of which were found in the Storage Bags. The cultivators who died in the Chess Sea did not have many other things, but they had a lot of Spirit Stones and Spirit Pills. Now, Hua Ci had benefited from them. If Lu Ye did not have them, he could just take them from her.
With such a good cultivation environment, no shortage of resources, Spirit Gathering Spirit Runes, and Gluttonous Meal, even if Lu Ye deliberately slowed down his cultivation speed, he still opened one hundred and thirty-five apertures.
He was getting closer and closer to the Eighth Order, which also meant that he would soon leave the encampment.
There were not many rules in the Spirit Stream Battlefield, but there were some hidden rules. Although the cultivators of the two camps wanted to kill the other side, they would still act within the rules.
For example, if they captured the medical cultivators of the other camp, they would not kill them. Instead, they would wait for the other side to pay a ransom.
For example, only cultivators of the Seventh Order and below moved in the Outer Ring of the battlefield, unless it was necessary.
This was also the reason why the Outer Ring Encampments were basically only Seventh Order cultivators. Did those Sects not have cultivators above the Seventh Order? Of course! But they were not in their Sects' encampments.
When cultivators reached the Seventh Order, they would basically rush towards the Inner Ring. One reason was that once one's cultivation was high enough, killing cultivators with low cultivation in the Outer Ring would not only not give them any merit points, they might even lose them. The gains would not make up for the losses.
The second reason was that the further one went, the richer the World Energy, and naturally, the easier it was to cultivate.
A Seventh Order cultivator cultivating in the Outer Ring for a year might not be as good as cultivating in the Inner Ring for half a year. If one went to the Inner Ring, the results would be better, but of course, it would also be more dangerous.
Since one had embarked on the path of cultivation, one would have to fight with others and the Heavens. Who would not want to go higher? Every cultivator would try their best to improve their own cultivation. Under the huge wave of confrontation between the two camps, one could not control one's own fate if they remained stagnant.
In fact, Lu Ye had long planned to go to the Inner Ring, but when the Blue Blood Sect was just established, he could not leave as the Station Encampment Guardian.
Although he did not care much on weekdays, as long as he was in the encampment, he could stabilize the people's hearts.
Now that the encampment was stable, Hua Ci was enough. Although she had now broken through to the Seventh Order and could not stay here for too long, she could still hold on for a while. There would always be disciples who could take up the mantle in the future. Gu Yang and He Xiyin were good candidates. Lu Ye could find an opportunity to turn them into official disciples.
Kong Niu's cultivation was good enough, but his temperament was too dull. He could kill enemies and set fires, but he could not manage the encampment.
Of course, there was another reason why Lu Ye wanted to enter the Inner Ring. It was related to the future of the Blue Blood Sect's disciples.
"He's almost at the Eighth Order." At the dinner table, Shui Yuan looked at Lu Ye with a complicated expression. When Little Junior Brother returned to the Sect, he was only at the Fifth Order. How many months had it been? He was actually almost at the Eighth Order. His cultivation speed was too fast.
"It is indeed time to go to the Inner Ring. When are you going?"
"In half a month. I want to learn more about Spirit Veins from Madam Yun." Speaking of Madam Yun, Lu Ye remembered what happened last time. "From what Yi Yi said, last time Madam Yun came over and beat up the Sect Master? What happened? "
He only learned about it afterward. At that time, he was cracking the Spirit Array arranged by Madam Yun at Bright Heart Peak and did not notice the movements outside.
"The love and hate of the older generation. Anyway, it's just like that. Don't worry about it. It's been like this for so many years."
Lu Ye did not ask anymore.
Shui Yuan said, "Our Sect's only Azure Cliff Mountain is now an Alliance Sect. Azure Cliff Mountain broke through to the Sixth Order last time and happens to be in the Inner Ring. You can go to Azure Cliff Mountain. I will greet them first."
The disciples of the various Sects had close contact with each other. It felt like an exchange.
"No need to trouble yourself. I am not only going to hone myself, but also have an immature idea."
"Oh? Let's hear it. "
"Just as you said, Second Senior Sister, our Sect's only Azure Cliff Mountain is now an Alliance Sect. I took a look and Azure Cliff Mountain's encampment is very far from Blue Blood Sect's encampment. In the future, when the Sect's disciples reach the Seventh Order, they can't all go to Azure Cliff Mountain. The journey is too far. Seventh Order cultivators can't make it.
Shui Yuan nodded, "That's right."
"I heard that the Guardian Envoys can form an alliance contract?"
"Yes, but if it's formed by the Guardian Envoys, the effects will be limited to the battlefield."
If the Sect Master personally took action, the effects of the alliance contract would not be limited to the battlefield. It would also include the Nine Provinces and other places.
"That's enough! What I am thinking is that I won't step down from my position as the Guardian Envoys for the time being. I will go to the Inner Ring first to find some Sects and form an alliance contract with their Guardian Envoys. This way, the disciples will have more opportunities in the future. "
"That's fine. But Little Junior Brother, do you have any connections?"
"Naturally, I have some connections."
Last time in the Chess Sea, he got to know many Sect Guardians, including many from the Inner Ring and Core Ring.
"You can make your own decisions. You are the Guardian Envoys of the encampment. You can do whatever you want."
"I will go ask the Sect Master." Lu Ye stood up and suddenly remembered something, "Right, what happened to Fourth Senior Brother's Spirit Aperture?"
In the past, he only knew that his Fourth Senior Brother was very strong, but recently, he heard some rumors about Li Baxian.
Shui Yuan sighed, "He was too sharp. Coupled with his Blue Blood Sect background, he was targeted by Myriad Demon Ridge."
"His Spirit Aperture was broken and there was no way to repair it?"
"There is a Spirit Pill in the Heavenly Secret Treasure House that can repair it, but it requires a lot of merit points."
Lu Ye nodded and headed to the Sect Master's quarters.
After asking for instructions and obtaining the Sect Master's approval, Lu Ye felt more confident.
