Sage of Humanity-Chapter 1653 - 1651: Beyond Comprehension

Two full months after entering the Cangyue Galaxy, Lu Ye finally arrived at a location under Lih Shang's guidance.

This place was visibly desolate, devoid of any domain nearby, and cultivators were hardly seen.

Once there, Lih Shang let Lu Ye find a dead star, and the starboat sailed into it.

The Soul Race ancestral land is really in the Cangyue Galaxy? Lu Ye was somewhat surprised, as he knew that, until now, no one had any idea of the specific location of the Soul Race ancestral land.

Unexpectedly, this unknown secret was so openly revealed to him.

Lu Ye was quite curious, eager to know what the Soul Race ancestral land was like.

Seemingly recognizing the thoughts in Lu Ye's heart, Lih Shang explained with a smile, "The ancestral land is not here."

"Not here?" Lu Ye was taken aback. If it's not here, then why come here?

Lih Shang explained, "The ancestral land floats outside the stellar space, you might say it's everywhere, yet not in any place. Therefore, no one has truly discovered the ancestral land yet."

This statement confused Lu Ye, and after a brief contemplation, he spoke, "A secret realm?"

Only a secret realm would have such peculiar characteristics. But to say it's everywhere seemed a bit exaggerated; the vastness of stellar space is limitless, and no secret realm could encompass the entire stellar space.

However, it could be confirmed that the Soul Race ancestral land is a separate space floating outside the stellar space, hence no one has truly discovered it.

"It's similar, but not entirely." While speaking, Lih Shang raised her hand, slowly gathering a small point of light, which quickly transformed into a pristine white bead.

Lu Ye stared at the bead, "Is this the soul pearl?"

Star beasts have crystal cores, the Demon Race has demonic pills, and the Soul Race has similar items, which are the soul pearls!

Lu Ye had only heard about these; even though he had known Lih Shang for quite some time and experienced many crises together, he had never seen her soul pearl.

This item is indeed a treasure. The Soul Race is coveted by some in stellar space due to two reasons: firstly, their unique Soul Possession power, which greatly enhances the power of those possessed, and secondly, the soul pearls.

The soul pearl contains extraordinarily pure psyche force, and if a cultivator can refine it, it greatly benefits the psyche enhancement.

In essence, Lih Shang's soul pearl is countless times superior to the supreme-grade psyche refinement pill.

If it weren't for her cultivation being only at the Constellation Late Stage, and the soul pearl's effects not being substantial for Sun Blaze, the Sun Blaze cultivator who captured her back then might have wanted to kill her for the pearl.

Yiyi could also be considered part of the Soul Race, but she hasn't exhibited Soul Possession Technique simply because she hasn't condensed her own soul pearl.

The Soul Race has its special method of cultivation; only through such distinctive cultivation can the soul pearl be condensed, allowing mastery of various Soul Race secret techniques.

Understanding this, Yiyi wished to follow Lih Shang to the Soul Race ancestral land.

Lih Shang never showed her soul pearl to Lu Ye before. Taking it out now indicates she's planning something major.

"Although the ancestral land is everywhere, it has hidden connections with every corner of stellar space. To deepen these connections and open the channel to the ancestral land, one must rely on the soul pearl!"

Lu Ye was astonished, "Are you saying, with this soul pearl, the Soul Race can return to the ancestral land from anywhere in this stellar space?"

"That's right!"

Lu Ye was astounded!

Earlier, when he heard Lih Shang say the ancestral land was everywhere, he didn't feel much and thought it was an exaggerated statement. But looking at it now, it's not an exaggeration at all. The Soul Race ancestral land really is everywhere; just normal people can't see it or perceive it.

This is unrelated to the cultivation level.

What kind of place is the Soul Race ancestral land?

Even the Reincarnation Tree can only scatter doppelgangers to envelop the stellar space within its perception. And even then, this perception isn't comprehensive; only where doppelgangers are located or nearby domains can be sensed by the Reincarnation Tree. Where there are no doppelgangers, it can't perceive.

If the Soul Race ancestral land truly is everywhere, this aspect far surpasses the capabilities of the Reincarnation Tree.

Subsequently, Lu Ye recalled another question, "Since the soul pearl can deepen that connection and return to the ancestral land, why did you bring me here?"

Theoretically, in the All Phenomena Ocean, Lih Shang could have returned. There was no need to waste time traveling.

Lih Shang smiled, "Although having a soul pearl allows the Soul Race to sense the ancestral land, to open the channel to the ancestral land isn't possible from just any location; it requires a special place, like here!"

Lu Ye then understood why she came to this place.

Taking this into account, the Soul Race ancestral land is not within the Cangyue Galaxy, but this location is unique, able to open a passage to the Soul Race ancestral land.

"I'm not strong enough, and it might take some time to communicate with the ancestral land's will. During this period, I'll need you to be my protector." Lih Shang said. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Lu Ye nodded, "Don't worry!"

Lih Shang immediately sat cross-legged, closed her eyes, and her Soul Power began to fluctuate, appearing to use her soul pearl to communicate with the ancestral land.

Lu Ye suddenly furrowed his brows and transmitted audio, "Yiyi, did Lih Shang just mention the ancestral land's will?"

He hadn't paid attention earlier, but now he suddenly realized.

The Soul Race ancestral land has a will!

This is quite extraordinary. The Nine Provinces also has a will, but that's Number Nine's will. Many domains have their own Heaven and Earth's Will, but that kind of will doesn't exist clearly; it's completely different from Number Nine.

I wonder what kind of existence the will of the Soul Race ancestral land is. If it's the same as Number Nine, that would be incredible.

"Really?" Yiyi didn't seem to care much and looked pitifully at Lu Ye: "Lu Ye, can't I really go to the Soul Race ancestral land with Sister Lih Shang?"

"No, when Lih Shang leaves, you go with me!"

Yiyi pouted silently, but her eyes were darting around mischievously, plotting some unknown trick.

Looking around at the surroundings, this place was remote, and it was unlikely that any cultivators would come to disturb them, but it's always good to be cautious.

After some thought, Lu Ye snapped his fingers, and immediately three streaks of blood light shot out, transforming into three figures in an instant.

Yiyi stared and was surprised because these three figures were all Lu Ye! And in her perception, she couldn't tell any difference; even their auras were identical to Lu Ye's.

These three figures were naturally manifestations of three drops of Treasure Blood.

In the past two months, besides chatting with Yiyi while traveling, Lu Ye had been diligently refining his Treasure Blood.

Other than the initial drop of Treasure Blood that was born naturally after perfecting his physique, Lu Ye had refined two more drops in these two months.

It's not that he's lazy, it's just that refining Treasure Blood is incredibly difficult, even with his profound foundation.

Now, he only has these three drops of Treasure Blood.

"Lu Ye, there are so many of you!" Yiyi exclaimed excitedly, grabbing onto Lu Ye's arm.

She knew Lu Ye had doppelgangers, but she had never seen so many.

"Impressive, huh?" Lu Ye said proudly.

Yiyi nodded enthusiastically like a pecking chicken. She wished to learn this magical technique! But unfortunately, she could tell at a glance that these doppelgangers were related to the cultivator's Essence Blood, which she probably couldn't learn.

Soon, under Lu Ye's direction, the three doppelgangers dispersed in different directions for vigilance.

Watching the three doppelgangers leave, Yiyi tilted her head and whimsically said, "Lu Ye, next time you leave, leave one behind for me to play with."

Lu Ye chuckled: "It's a doppelganger, not a pet! Besides, the doppelganger can't be too far from me; otherwise, it's useless."

Concerning the distance limitation with the original body, the Treasure Blood Avatar is significantly different from the Talent Tree Avatar. Whether this would improve with the cultivation level is unknown.

Yiyi instantly showed a disappointed look, suddenly realizing the doppelganger wasn't that impressive.

The three doppelgangers guarded three directions, and if anyone approached, Lu Ye would know in advance.

Fortunately, this place was indeed desolate; not a single shadow of a cultivator, not even a star beast, was seen.

Lih Shang remained seated, using her soul bead to communicate with the ancestral land's will, her Soul Power fluctuating unpredictably.

After a good half-day, some changes suddenly occurred on her side.

As Lu Ye turned to look, he saw the Void in front of Lih Shang ripple like a water surface, then the space blurred and distorted. In an instant, that area transformed into a mist-like existence.

The mist continued to twist, and then multicolored lights refracted from within. Moments later, a blooming lotus flower appeared in Lu Ye's sight.

The lotus seemed like a real object, radiating supreme splendor, exquisitely beautiful. As it appeared, Lu Ye even felt an instinctive yearning from his psyche, similar to smelling meat when hungry. He immediately understood that this lotus-like existence had a tremendous effect on the growth of the psyche.

The lotus bloomed, with the stamens surrounded by the initial mist, leading to an unknown destination.

Suppressing his instinctive craving, Lu Ye carefully sensed, faintly detecting the power of the Void coursing through the stamens.

It felt somewhat similar to his experience in the Insect Path.

Unavoidably moved, though the lotus looked peculiar, in essence, it was an Insect Path!

An Insect Path leading to the Soul Race ancestral land!

What is this Soul Race ancestral land, possessing such miraculous power!

It's known that Insect Paths are typically natural occurrences. Even the Reincarnation Tree cannot create an Insect Path from nothing, only utilizing the connection between the original body and avatars to travel. Yet Lih Shang merely communicated with the Soul Race ancestral land, and a small Insect Path appeared.

It's somewhat beyond comprehension!

Almost simultaneously with Lu Ye's shock, Yiyi, who had quietly moved away from his side, suddenly darted towards the lotus.

But just as she moved, a large hand clasped her by the nape.

Yiyi turned, looking at Lu Ye behind her, struggling animatedly: "Lu Ye, let me go!"

"Don't even think about it!" Lu Ye snorted.
