Sage of Humanity-Chapter 1633 - 1631: Hit the Jackpot

In Lu Ye's upcoming plan, he is set to embark on a distant journey. Firstly, he must escort Lih Shang back to the Soul Race ancestral land, a previously agreed task. Secondly, the Reincarnation Tree had advised him to visit the Yin-Yang Great Millstone before ascending to Moon Jade, though Lu Ye does not fully understand the deeper significance, he trusts the Tree Elder's guidance would not harm him.

The Reincarnation Tree has existed for ages, clearly possessing knowledge beyond the grasp of ordinary cultivators. It is highly likely that the Yin-Yang Great Millstone has some benefits for Lu Ye's advancement to Moon Jade.

However, all of this hinges upon the temporary stability of Three Worlds Island. Leaving at this moment would seem irresponsible, so Lu Ye is unable to depart just yet; at minimum, he must wait for some time.

However, the Small Constellation Palace has already been installed beneath Three Worlds Island, and it is bound to activate. Once it achieves mid-class Spirit Island status, it will inevitably attract attention and may not withstand attacks.

Regrettably, the Merfolk Race cannot be relied on, otherwise, they would make the best allies.

Lu Ye lamented, wishing the branch of the Merfolk Race beneath All Phenomena Ocean were free of the Curse Poison. However, on second thought, if they were curse-free, they wouldn't live beneath All Phenomena Ocean in eternal isolation, and Lu Ye would have never had the chance to meet them.

Wait...

A spirit light suddenly flashed in Lu Ye's mind, and he pondered. The reason this branch of merfolk cannot leave All Phenomena Ocean is because of the inherited Curse Poison, a transmission through bloodline.

If that's the case... could the Talent Tree be of any use?

Previously, Lu Ye had not considered this possibility, and when he first encountered the Merfolk Race, the Talent Tree was only at its second metamorphosis, making it impossible to apply it to others.

But now, the Talent Tree has undergone three metamorphoses, allowing him to help dissolve the Erosion Power from the Dancing Girl's infiltration of others. This Curse Poison is merely a foreign invading power, might the Talent Tree be able to obliterate it?

If so, he can completely help the Merfolk Race rid themselves of the Curse Poison power, allowing them to live outside All Phenomena Ocean!

If the Merfolk Race can escape All Phenomena Ocean, they could be called upon to assist when Three Worlds Island is under attack, creating an impregnable defense!

The more Lu Ye thought about it, the more feasible this seemed; it was a pity he hadn't considered this before. Had he thought of it, he could have tried.

Trying poses little risk, if successful, his troubling query resolved. If unsuccessful, there's not much loss, except the merfolk subject to the experiment would likely suffer some damage.

He had previously agreed with Yann Miao to go to Constellation Palace to bring Bai Lu and the others out in half a month, so any experimentation must wait until then.

Lu Ye recalled, during their chats, Bai Lu once mentioned how the merfolk held him in high regard, responding to his requests due to an ancestral edict. This edict stated favor from the Divine Temple would be that branch of merfolk's future, aiding them in solving the Curse Poison dilemma.

Back then, Lu Ye scoffed a little, as he had not the slightest idea how to resolve the so-called Curse Poison. Who would have thought there'd be some indication at present?

It seems that the ancestors who passed down such an edict from the merfolk had some insight?

As for whether it can indeed work, it will require personal experimentation next time.

Lu Ye silently resolved to investigate.

But for now, he needs to quickly advance his cultivation base.

Although it has been several years since reaching Constellation Late Stage, and in spurts, his cultivation efficiency is decent, it doesn't compare to the cultivation in All Phenomena Ocean. Before embarking for the Yin-Yang Great Millstone, he must elevate his cultivation base to Peak Constellation.

Time is short, Lu Ye couldn't afford to be lax.

Leaving a doppelganger to attend to things here while his true self covertly slipped out from Three Worlds Island, seeking a secluded spot, he dove into All Phenomena Ocean.

Cultivation, cultivation!

Immersing in the seawater, as ever, requires virtually no guiding refinement. The immense energy in the seawater immediately floods his body, Lu Ye does not need much effort. The Talent Tree naturally burns away impurities within the invading energy, igniting a blaze from the Talent Tree, gray mist rising.

This cultivation method suits him best, its sole drawback is its high consumption rate. Fortunately, he still has some leftover Talent Tree fuel to elevate himself to Peak Constellation; there's no major issue.

Even if he runs short, he still has two million spirit jade on hand, purchasing more if needed.

He must also find a way to earn more; undoubtedly there'll be instances requiring the Talent Tree later, without spirit jade, where shall he acquire fire type treasures?

Speaking of treasures, a thought struck Lu Ye, recalling a long-held treasure.

When he traveled back to the Nine Provinces with Lih Shang years ago, using the bone ocarina, he drew a batch of armadillo beasts, killing them, and obtained a treasure coin from within an armadillo beast.

Several attempts later, he verified the mystical power of the treasure coin, capable of absorbing stellar space energy and storing it, later releasing it as mystic light when needed.

Back then, an armadillo beast emitted a copper light that nearly duped Lu Ye. Subsequently, Lu Ye stored it in his storage ring, which instantly depleted a few million spirit jade, turning the treasure coin silver. Within Planet Tengu, he employed this treasure coin to destroy a Moon Jade star beast.

Spending several million spirit jades to kill one Moon Jade is undoubtedly a loss, so after that, Lu Ye placed the treasure coin in a storage ring with no spirit jades, to avoid any unnecessary losses.

Lu Ye once wondered if this thing could pose a threat to Sun Blaze level experts if it devoured enough spirit jades?

He just didn't dare to try it, mainly because he didn't have the means.

But now... look around, surrounded by sea water formed from stellar space energy. Strictly speaking, the sea water of the All Phenomena Ocean is no different from spirit jades, just that its erosive nature is too strong and has too many impurities, so no one dares to dive in to absorb and refine it.

But the treasure coin doesn't care about impurities; perhaps it can devour the sea water?

With this thought, Lu Ye couldn't help but take out the treasure coin. The moment it appeared, Lu Ye's expression shifted because, just as he had guessed, the treasure coin was indeed frantically devouring the surrounding sea water. It was like a beast that had been starving for countless years, transforming into a bottomless pit with unimaginable speed; the sea water around it showed signs of rapid movement.

The treasure coin had become dull after emitting that silver light years ago, but now it quickly turned a copper color. As the sea water continuously devoured, the copper color grew brighter until moments later, it abruptly turned silver!

Lu Ye couldn't help but beam with joy. The last time the treasure coin turned silver, he lost several million spirit jades.

Now with the sea water from the All Phenomena Ocean reaching the same level, Lu Ye felt like he had gained several million spirit jades out of thin air.

Profit!

And it didn't stop there. The brightness of the silver soon surpassed its previous level, and after a while, Lu Ye noticed a hint of gold appearing on the edges of the treasure coin, like it was inlaid with a golden border.

His heart raced, wondering if his guess was correct—that the silver color of the treasure coin was not the end; it had greater potential! 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

The golden edge quickly spread toward the center, and in just a few breaths, a dazzling golden treasure coin appeared before Lu Ye's eyes. At first glance, this treasure coin was bright orange-yellow, seemingly made from the purest gold. Had he not seen it with his own eyes, it would be hard to believe its true appearance was dull and lackluster.

The signs of sea water devouring stopped. Lu Ye held the golden treasure coin, his expression solemn.

Because from within this treasure coin, he sensed an aura of hidden, terrifying power that was many times stronger than what he felt when the treasure coin turned silver years ago!

Could this thing threaten Sun Blaze?

Lu Ye wasn't sure, but it's highly possible.

This kind of thing requires a trial to confirm, but it's impossible to test; he can't just find a Sun Blaze. The resident Sun Blaze experts in the All Phenomena Ocean belong to the home galaxy; calling them over would mean the treasure coin could not be kept.

For now, it seems that the transformation into gold is the limit, as Lu Ye didn't feel any further signs of the treasure coin devouring sea water.

Yet even so, this is still incredible.

This should be considered an exotic treasure! As for its grade... Lu Ye felt that ordinary grading could no longer define it; it's likely related to the level of a stellar space supreme treasure.

In other words, it's either a stellar space supreme treasure or an affiliated treasure of one, similar to the sword gourd.

Clutching this valuable treasure, Lu Ye very much wanted to find a suitable target to test its power, but unfortunately, there was no opportunity, so he had to restrain himself.

Later, when he leaves the All Phenomena Ocean, this treasure can be handed over to Hua Ci as a trump card for Three Worlds Island!

As for himself, he still has a red talisman bestowed by Su Yuqing as a safeguard, so there's no big problem.

After years of nurturing, his own strength has improved significantly compared to before, and the power the red talisman can unleash probably can't be withstood at the Moon Jade level.

Later, when he advances to Moon Jade, the red talisman's power could threaten a Sun Blaze.

Reluctantly, he put away the treasure coin and continued cultivation.

However, just cultivating like this was a bit dull, so Lu Ye thought for a moment and took out the Boulder Mountain Saber again.

In the past, when cultivating here, he never dared to take out the Boulder Mountain Saber because ordinary spirit treasures couldn't withstand the sea water's erosion. But now, the Boulder Mountain Saber was ultimately a transformation of the barghest and might resist the Erosion Power of the sea water?

Despite this, Lu Ye closely monitored the changes in the Boulder Mountain Saber, ready to stow it away at the first sign of trouble.

Fortunately, he was right. After all, the barghest was an ancient member of the Combat Race, and the Boulder Mountain Saber it transformed into was indeed incomparable to ordinary treasures. The strong erosion of the All Phenomena Ocean's sea water had absolutely no effect on it.

That's good then; Lu Ye didn't need to worry about cultivation, as the Talent Tree would naturally burn away impurities invading his body, rapidly enhancing and strengthening his foundation. He could fully take this opportunity to continue honing himself in the green great hall, achieving remarkably high cultivation efficiency by working on both fronts.
