This was especially true for the constellations from the top realms. They were willing to wait a few more years for a better future and greater benefits.
Of course, there were also many constellations that could not advance to the Yue Yao realm and wanted to use the final reward from the Constellation Hall to break through their bottleneck.
But no matter what, these two types of people had already reached the limit of the constellation realm and were the strongest in this realm. Especially the former type of people, their strength was not something an ordinary late-stage constellation cultivator could compare to.
There were many obstacles in a cultivator's life. The first obstacle was to open the spiritual cavities. Only when one opened a certain number of spiritual cavities could one be qualified to advance to the Cloud River Realm and have the capital to aspire to a higher realm. Otherwise, one would not be able to go far just by advancing to the Cloud River Realm.
The Cloud River Realm and the True Lake Realm did not have many bottlenecks. When one's cultivation reached a certain level, the realm would naturally advance.
But then, advancing from the True Lake to the Deity Ocean was another major obstacle because of the birth of the Deity Ocean.
Not every True Lake could give birth to a Deity Ocean. Those who could not give birth to a Deity Ocean and nurture a Soul Avatar could only stagnate.
In the future, the bottleneck of advancing from the Deity Ocean to the Constellation Realm was not difficult. The difficult part was competing with others for this opportunity. Every large realm had a limit to the number of constellations that could be born in a certain period of time. The strength of the realm's foundation also varied.
Take the Nine States for example. As the foundation of the realm increased, it became easier for cultivators to cultivate. In the future, there would be many Deity Ocean cultivators, but there were only so many places to advance to the Constellation Realm. The Deity Ocean cultivators would definitely fight for it.
But advancing from the Constellation Realm to the Yue Yao realm was another major obstacle because it involved the transformation of spiritual power. This was related to the foundation that the cultivator had built in the past.
Take the Qingli Dao Realm, where Tang Jun came from, as an example. For more than three thousand years, there were many constellations. But until now, there were only three Yue Yao. Qin Yuandai was killed by Lu Ye's red talisman. Now that Tang Jun was in the Wanxiang Sea, there was only one Wu Zhuo left in the Qingli Dao Realm.
The situation in the Qingli Dao Realm was more special. But no matter what, advancing from the Constellation Realm to the Yue Yao realm was not easy.
Lu Ye did not know what kind of person Wei Yijian was, but he guessed that he was the kind of person who could advance to the Yue Yao realm but did not.
In the face of such a powerhouse, it was no longer possible for Lu Ye to win by relying solely on his spells. Thus, Lu Ye made the prompt decision to bring out his true abilities.
In comparison, Wei Yijian's strength was much stronger than Zhao Tianmu's.
This battle was in full swing, and Wei Yijian's various mysterious methods and powerful attacks caused Lu Ye to suffer a lot. After a full hour, Wei Yijian took the initiative to admit defeat and leave.
Lu Ye's close combat forced him to maintain a high level of explosive power. After a long time, he found it difficult to continue. Moreover, he could feel that even if he still had enough spiritual energy, he was no match for Fa Wuzun.
Because in the fierce battle, he had slowly fallen into a disadvantageous position.
He didn't say anything, and only took a deep look at his opponent, as if he wanted to remember his appearance in his heart.
When Wei Yijian's figure dissipated, a mass of profound light fell from the sky.
As expected, there was no change in the benefits he obtained from activating the Talent Tree. It was the same as when he was dealing with the other Constellation Hall advanced stage cultivators. It was only equivalent to him refining twenty spirit jades.
Defeating a middle stage cultivator was equivalent to refining ten pieces, while defeating a late stage cultivator was equivalent to refining twenty pieces. However, the amount of time and energy required was greater, so it was hard to say which situation would give him more benefits.
Returning to the hall, Lu Ye casually found a place to rest and reorganize.
He didn't need to worry about being ambushed here, because as long as he entered the hall, everyone would be under the protection of the Constellation Hall.
A few days later, the hall was still as lively as before. Some people even set up stalls here, selling healing pills and recovery pills. The price was naturally more expensive than normal, but if one wanted to return to the Wanxiang Sea to buy them, they would need to hurry and waste a lot of time.
Therefore, if a cultivator needed something, they would choose to buy it here.
It was said that the hall numbered 88 was the most lively, because many people had set up stalls there. Even the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce had a stall there. As long as one greeted them, they could have whatever they wanted delivered.
That large hall had also become a large hall for cultivators to trade. The cultivators that came and went were all there to buy and sell things.
After a short rest, Lu Ye continued on his journey.
Although the Constellation Hall would be open for a long time, it was a rare opportunity, so he naturally had to cherish it.
In the next few days, Lu Ye kept going back and forth between the various battle arenas and the Constellation Hall. Every day, he gained a lot. It could be said that he had experienced hundreds of battles and had never been defeated.
The cultivators he encountered were basically all late-stage Constellation Realm cultivators, and most of them were ordinary late-stage Constellation Realm cultivators. Only a few of them were like Wei Yijian. Every time he encountered this kind of person, Lu Ye was forced to use his true abilities to win.
There was even one battle that could be said to be a pyrrhic victory!
The strength of the opponent in that battle was almost the same as Wei Yijian, but the opponent had a spirit treasure with unfathomable power. In that battle, Lu Ye was almost heavily injured.
This experience secretly reminded him that in terms of pure strength, he might not lose to any of the Constellation Realm cultivators, but cultivators didn't just rely on their own strength. There were also some unpredictable external forces, especially spirit treasures, which had all kinds of strange powers. The slightest bit of carelessness could cause one to fall into the opponent's trap.
After cultivating to the Constellation Realm, who didn't have a few suitable spirit treasures in their hands? Especially those fellows who came from peak forces, the power of their spirit treasures was especially great.
However, after fighting with people many times, Lu Ye also discovered one thing. Even with the same cultivation, the difference in strength between cultivators was also very large.
Some people clearly had extraordinary cultivation, but lacked battle experience, so they appeared to be unable to withstand a single blow.
Half a month after the Constellation Hall opened, when Lu Ye returned from another battle, he shockingly discovered that in the hall, a group of people were gathered around the ranking board, watching from the sidelines.
Looking up, Lu Ye suddenly understood.
There were changes in the ranking board.
All along, this thing had been a blank black tablet, but everyone knew that some names would eventually be recorded on it. It was just that the time had never been up.
Until today, it was finally revealed.
A voice was heard: "What's up with these people? How can their accumulations be so high? I'm actually not even a fraction of their total. "
Someone said: "These people all have extraordinary backgrounds. Their cultivation has already reached perfection in the Constellation Realm, so they don't need to refine their profound light. They only need to battle, which naturally saves time."
This conjecture was reasonable and was undoubtedly convincing, because the time a cultivator spent in the Constellation Hall could be divided into three categories.
The first category was naturally the time spent fighting others. The second category was the time spent refining profound light. The third category was the time spent recuperating from injuries.
In comparison, refining the Profound Light took a lot of time. Several hours had passed in the blink of an eye.
Like Wei Yijian, who could casually advance to Yue Yao's Constellation Realm, he didn't need to refine profound light. At most, after a great battle, he would casually refine it to recover the spiritual power he had expended. This way, he would naturally save a lot of time, and he could participate in more battles, which meant he had a chance to obtain more chips.
On the ranking board, the top ten had accumulated more than three hundred chips, and the highest was even close to four hundred. In other words, he had won as many battles as he had accumulated in this half a month.
Below the top ten and within the top twenty, they all had around three hundred chips. The difference wasn't great. Only after reaching the top hundred did the number of chips fluctuate slightly.
Lu Ye looked up to search for his name on the ranking board, and quickly found Fa Wuzun.
He was tied with two other people at the fifteenth place!
This was within his expectations.
He didn't think that he would definitely be able to get first place just because he had the advantage of the Talent Tree. Just as that person had said, many people didn't need to refine the Profound Light. No matter how fast he refined it, it would still take some time. Others could save this time and accumulate it. Naturally, they would participate in more battles than he did, and the accumulated points would undoubtedly be more.
He had never underestimated others.
The ranking board didn't just record the cultivator's name, the number of chips they had accumulated, and their winning percentage.
For the time being, the top hundred cultivators' winning percentage was basically one hundred percent. Only Wei Yijian and a few other familiar names, Lu Ye, were at ninety-nine percent. They were quite eye-catching.
If nothing unexpected happened, their winning percentages were all taken down by Lu Ye.
As he watched, the names on the ranking board flickered continuously. Some rose, some fell, and some fell completely off the ranking board.
There were at least a million Constellations participating in such a grand event, but only a thousand names were recorded on the ranking board.
Therefore, cultivators outside of the top thousand couldn't leave their names on the ranking board.
Lu Ye was temporarily ranked fifteenth. After observing for a while, he had already fallen to seventeenth.
He wasn't in a hurry. This was just the beginning. The Constellation Hall could still be maintained for a while. Only at the end would it be time to truly fight for a ranking.
According to the rules of the Constellation Hall, before the end, he didn't even need to maintain a high ranking. He only needed to leave his name on the ranking board.
Therefore, the number of battles he fought now wouldn't affect his final ranking much. However, every victory would bring him benefits. Naturally, the more battles he fought, the better.
After resting for a while, Lu Ye turned around and stepped into a nearby door.
As usual, a piece of information appeared in his mind.
After a brief investigation, Lu Ye was slightly startled.
He had been competing with others for half a month. This time, he finally encountered something different.
When his vision recovered, Lu Ye found himself on a desolate planet. The environment wasn't bad, but it was devoid of life. Everything he saw was desolate.
There was no one around. He used his Divine Sense to investigate, but he didn't find any valuable information.
However, a lively voice suddenly appeared in his mind. "Where is everyone? Let's find a place to gather. "
