Previously, Hu Po could not provide much help to Lu Ye, but if Hu Po advanced to a Daemon General, he would have the capital to establish himself in the Cloud River Battlefield.
Especially now that they had formed a bond of life and beast mark, the stronger Hu Po was, the greater the benefits he could bring to Lu Ye.
And Yiyi … She was Hu Po's Nightmare Spirit. The two of them had shared honor and disgrace, and had grown up together. Once Hu Po advanced to a Daemon General, Yiyi would definitely have the strength of the Cloud River Tier.
It could be said that this wave of cultivation had allowed Lu Ye's overall strength to increase by leaps and bounds.
After another four hours, the purple spirit lot's effect was exhausted. Lu Ye took out a second purple lot and crushed it …
Time passed peacefully in the boring cultivation.
Until three days later, there was a knock on the door from outside.
Lu Ye put away the scroll in his hand and got up to open the door. Standing outside was Shen Kitten.
"What's the matter?"
Shen Little Kitten's gaze went past him and looked inside. She saw Hu Po who was in a deep sleep. She didn't care too much and said, "The spirit of the spring has been stolen. The spiritual land here is considered to be destroyed. What are your plans in the future?"
Lu Ye shook his head. He really did not have any plans.
It was not like the Spirit Stream Battlefield. Over there, every sect had their own encampment. If there was no place to go, they could return to the encampment to cultivate.
In the Cloud River Battlefield, cultivators without spiritual lands were pitiful homeless people who could only wander around in search of opportunities.
"Then do you want to come with me?" Shen Kitten asked expectantly.
"Where to?"
"A friend of mine just sent me a message saying that she encountered a newly born spiritual land and is lacking manpower. I'm going to meet her. If you're willing, we can go together. You happen to be a formation cultivator, so I believe she won't reject you."
In the entire Cloudy River Battlefield, array cultivators were undoubtedly the most popular group of people. This was because having an array cultivator guarding a spirit land and not having one were two different things. Therefore, even if Lu Ye's cultivation was slightly lower, with his skills in array dao, as long as he was willing, any spirit land below grade B would take him in.
The first thing Shen Little Cat thought of when she received the message was Lu Ye. She also asked her friend and got the approval of that person. Only then did she invite him.
After pondering for a moment, Lu Ye shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but I won't be going with you. I still have to find my fellow disciple."
That damned Giant Beetle. Perhaps it was lost or something. It had already been a month or two, but it still hadn't found this place. Lu Ye had sent it a message yesterday, but he found out that the location it reported was at least half a month's journey away from him.
And this was the normal traveling speed of a Cloud River Tier cultivator. Based on the giant armor's previous performance, it would take at least a few months for it to arrive.
Moreover, now that Hu Po was at a critical juncture of its advancement, Lu Ye couldn't leave this place, let alone take it away. Although the Spirit Beast Pouch could be used, if it was placed in the Spirit Beast Pouch and affected Hu Po's advancement, then the loss would outweigh the gain.
"If that's the case …" Shen Kitten's expectant eyes turned to disappointment. She probed, "Why don't you reconsider?"
Lu Ye shook his head.
Shen Little Cat smiled and said, "Alright then, I won't force you. I hope that when we meet again in the future, we won't become enemies."
To this day, neither side knew the other's real name, nor did they know which side they belonged to.
This wasn't a common occurrence in the Spirit Stream Battlefield, but it was a common occurrence in the Cloud River Battlefield.
Moreover, the two people who were as close as family just a moment ago, in the blink of an eye, fighting to the death was not a rare occurrence. Previously, in the Mystery Realm of the Ten Thousand Beasts, if Lan Ziyi hadn't run away quickly, Lu Ye would have taken the opportunity to kill her.
"Have a safe journey!"
"Take care." Shen Little Cat gave Lu Ye a brilliant smile, then turned around and soared into the sky, turning into a stream of light, quickly disappearing into the horizon.
The two people who had met by chance naturally couldn't continue walking side by side. After the bond that held the two together disappeared, sooner or later they would go their separate ways.
There wasn't too much sorrow of parting. Their relationship hadn't reached that level yet. Shen Little Cat left freely, and Lu Ye's heart was also unperturbed.
In the course of a cultivator's life, this kind of thing wasn't rare.
Lu Ye raised his head and looked up. Bits of pure white drifted down. He reached out his hand, and the cold fell on his palm, quickly melting.
It was snowing.
Before this, he didn't notice the drop in temperature at all. This reminded him of the days when he was a slave miner in Evil Moon Valley. That winter was the most difficult one he had ever experienced. Many slave miners froze to death in the mine because they didn't have enough to eat or warm clothes. He had to strip off the dead people's clothes and wear them to barely keep warm.
Today, as a Third Order Cloud River Realm cultivator, he didn't feel the natural change in his Qi, because this kind of wind and snow wasn't enough to affect him.
Turning around, he walked back into the house and continued to cultivate and read.
All the spirit sticks had been consumed, so he could only rely on swallowing Spirit Pills to cultivate. Compared to other cultivators, in terms of swallowing Spirit Pills, Lu Ye had a great advantage. As long as he didn't lack fuel for his Talent Tree, no matter how many Spirit Pills he swallowed, there wouldn't be any hidden dangers. The premise was that he could refine the medicinal efficacies of the pills in time.
This was also the reason why he didn't rely on the Spirit Land.
The snow was very heavy. After cultivating for a long time, Lu Ye walked out of the house to stretch his muscles and sharpen his Saber Technique. Dancing with his Saber in the snow, it was a unique experience.
Recently, he had a strong feeling that his Saber Technique had reached a bottleneck, and there were faint signs of a breakthrough. However, a breakthrough in Saber Technique was different from a breakthrough in Cultivation. A breakthrough in Cultivation had a very clear and direct feeling. The opening of Spirit Apertures in the Spirit Stream Realm, and the expansion of the Spirit River Realm in the body in the Cloud River Realm were all specific things.
However, a breakthrough in Saber Technique was a mysterious feeling, which couldn't be helped by swallowing Spirit Pills or breathing Spirit Qi.
If he could enter the Mirage Realm with the help of the Breath Fruit, it might be beneficial for his breakthrough. However, in the current situation, Hu Po was in a deep sleep, so it was really inconvenient for him to enter the Mirage Realm.
If an enemy came to his door while his mind was immersed in the Mirage Realm, he wouldn't be able to fight back.
Although this place was remote, for Cloud River Realm cultivators who could fly, there was no remote place in this world.
These days, there were also many cultivators passing by above, but Lu Ye had long set up a concealment formation. As long as he didn't make too much noise, others wouldn't discover him unless they checked carefully.
After Hu Po slept for seven days, the snow was still falling outside the house, and the snow in the mountains was already three feet deep.
Lu Ye was practicing his Saber Technique outside the house when some strange sounds suddenly came from inside the house. He quickly turned his head to look inside the house.
What entered his eyes was Yiyi's figure flying straight out of the house.
Lu Ye's eyes lit up, and he withdrew his Saber to meet her.
Yiyi directly threw herself into Lu Ye's arms, knocking him down on the snow.
Her two small hands tightly hugged Lu Ye's waist, and her head buried in Lu Ye's chest. Her beautiful hair spread out, and Lu Ye even smelled the wonderful fragrance of her hair.
Raising a hand to touch the small head in his arms, Lu Ye was puzzled. "What's wrong?"
Although they had gone through life and death together for two to three years, and had grown up together, they had long since regarded each other as family. However, Yiyi had never felt such a strong burst of emotion before. Lu Ye could clearly feel her small body trembling slightly, and that was fear and shock.
"Lu Ye, I had a very, very long, and very, very deep dream. I thought … I thought, I would never wake up again." Yiyi's voice was choked with sobs.
Hu Po had fallen into a deep sleep during his advancement, and even Yiyi, the Nightmare Spirit, had been directly affected. In Lu Ye's world, only seven days had passed, but in Yiyi's world, more than seven days had passed, and it was probably even longer than seven years.
This feeling made her recall the past. She had had this feeling a long time ago, until suddenly one day, when she suddenly woke up. Since then, she had become Hu Po's Nightmare Spirit.
So, for her, what she was most afraid of was that feeling of falling into a deep sleep and not being able to wake up.
"Wuwuwu … I'm so scared!" Yiyi burst into tears.
Lu Ye gently stroked her head and comforted her, "Don't be scared, don't be scared. Wake up from your dream."
"Wuwuwu …" Yiyi cried even louder.
A tiger's head reflected in Lu Ye's vision. It was Hu Po who had walked out of the house. Looking at his energetic appearance, it was obvious that his advancement had ended, which was why he and Yiyi had both woken up.
Lu Ye gave Hu Po a look, and Hu Po immediately turned his head to the side, indicating that he didn't know anything about coaxing girls.
Lu Ye's gaze was like a knife as she fiercely glared at Hu Po.
Hu Po's expression was innocent.
Since she couldn't count on Hu Po, Lu Ye could only raise her hand and gently pat Yiyi's back. She softly hummed a cheerful song to dispel the sadness in her heart.
Hu Po perked up his big ears to listen.
Gradually, Yiyi's cries became softer, and turned into soft sobs until she completely stopped.
She raised her head and climbed onto Lu Ye's body, her red eyes full of surprise as she looked at Lu Ye.
This was because she had never heard Lu Ye sing, and the melody of this song was also something she had never heard before …
"What song is this?" Yiyi asked as she sniffled.
"Don't be scared, don't be scared."
"What a strange song title." Yiyi's eyes were full of suspicion, wondering if Lu Ye was lying to her. She then made a request, "Sing for me."
"I only know how to hum hum …"
"I don't care, sing for me!" Yiyi said, her mouth almost flattened again.
"Sing!"
Clearing her throat, Lu Ye tried hard to recall the memories that had been sealed in the depths of her mind, recalling the lyrics that had long been scattered. A moment later, her out-of-tune singing soared in the heavy snow.
Hu Po listened for a while, then used a front paw to cover its face …
Yiyi was also holding back her laughter, her face red.
At first, Lu Ye was a little shy, but as she sang, she became unrestrained. After all, there were only two listeners, Yiyi and Hu Po, so there was nothing to be embarrassed about.
After she finished singing, Lu Ye secretly stuffed a snowball behind Yiyi's neck and laughed maniacally, "Little girl, you dare to laugh at me!"
