Sage of Humanity-Chapter 1656 - 1654: The Ancestral Land’s Will’s Directive

The number of Constellations in the Nine Provinces seems to be just this much. But how can Constellations compare to Moon Jade?

Not to mention the Nine Provinces, even those top-level domains couldn't possibly have this many Moon Jades, it's only possible for an entire star system!

"As for Sun Blaze... two or three hundred?" Lih Shang obviously couldn't be certain, as her cultivation was too low and she hadn't been exposed to too much confidential information.

Lu Ye listened numbly.

Two or three hundred Sun Blazes, two or three thousand Moon Jades!

Such a force could undoubtedly be said to be the largest power in stellar space!

The world's understanding of the Soul Race is only superficial, and they have no idea that it is a terrifying giant with enormous volume. Even at the peak of the Nine Provinces, it was impossible to compare with the Soul Race!

If such a force were to break out of the Soul Race ancestral land, who could withstand it? Fortunately, the Soul Race seems to have no intention of dominating stellar space and has remained hidden for so many years, making it difficult for people to see traces of the Soul Race.

However, on second thought, Lu Ye realized that the Soul Race's methods mainly rely on psyche and are relatively singular, making them easy to counter. There are many treasures and methods in this world that can withstand psyche attacks.

So, although the Soul Race is terrifyingly massive, truly having intentions to dominate stellar space might not be that easy. If it forces various races to unite, the Soul Race might not have a favorable outcome.

The Soul Race's most formidable method is Soul Possession. A Constellation like Lih Shang possesses Lu Ye's psyche, greatly enhancing his strength. If a Moon Jade or Sun Blaze were to use Soul Possession, Lu Ye couldn't imagine how much his strength might increase.

Of course, if a Moon Jade or Sun Blaze were to use Soul Possession on him, the pressure he'd need to bear would be enormous, and he might not be able to withstand it.

The acquisition of any power always comes at a price.

While Lih Shang led Lu Ye in search of a suitable five-color Lotus Land, within the ancestral land space, on a seven-color Lotus Land, Hun Que's figure suddenly appeared.

The master of this place was a Soul Race Sun Blaze, and currently the Overseer Elder. Sensing Hun Que's aura, he hurriedly welcomed him.

Unlike Hun Que's youthful appearance, this Overseer Elder looked much older.

"Clan Leader, I sensed the Sacred Beast's aura. Is it truly the Sacred Beast?" asked the Overseer Elder.

"It is indeed the Sacred Beast, and the bloodline is quite potent," Hun Que nodded.

"That is wonderful news for our Soul Race!" The Overseer Elder was instantly excited. Even as a Sun Blaze, he couldn't suppress his emotions.

Ordinary members of the Soul Race might not understand why the White Tiger became the Sacred Beast of their race, but how could these Sun Blazes not know?

The Soul Race and Sacred Beast can complement each other. Cultivating together with a Sacred Beast dramatically enhances cultivation efficiency, and for Soul Race members who cultivate with a Sacred Beast, there's never a bottleneck.

In the Soul Race's history, at least hundreds of Sun Blaze experts achieved their success through cultivation with successive generations of Sacred Beasts.

A Sacred Beast for the Soul Race might mean the emergence of many Sun Blaze experts!

Since the last Sacred Beast passed away, the ancestral land had not seen the presence of a Sacred Beast for ten thousand years. During this time, only two Sun Blaze figures emerged from the Soul Race.

Don't be fooled by the ancestral land environment, which greatly benefits the Soul Race's cultivation. The environment alone can't provide much help for advancing to Sun Blaze, due to the inherent limitation of the Soul Race lacking flesh and blood.

In his excitement, the Overseer Elder asked, "Clan Leader, how should we position the Sacred Beast? I have a few candidates who could follow it first."

As the Overseer Elder, he knows the rising stars in the Soul Race. In his view, these candidates, with the help of the Sacred Beast, have a high chance of becoming Sun Blaze figures in the future.

"This is not urgent," Hun Que shook his head.

The Overseer Elder was taken aback. How could this not be urgent? Is there something more important than this?

"The will of the ancestral land has been triggered," Hun Que continued.

The Overseer Elder's mouth gaped, only managing to speak after a while, "Could this Sacred Beast possess something extraordinary?"

Otherwise, why would it trigger the will of the ancestral land?

"It's not because of the Sacred Beast," Hun Que shook his head, "This time, besides the Sacred Beast, a human also entered."

"A human?" The Overseer Elder was surprised, "How could a human enter..."

Suddenly awakening, "The Clan Leader means, the human triggered the will of the ancestral land?"

"Other than him, there's no other possibility. Otherwise, he couldn't have entered the ancestral land," Hun Que nodded.

"But... how is this possible?" The Overseer Elder was incredulous. How could a mere human trigger the will of the ancestral land?

He looked at Hun Que, cautiously asking, "Clan Leader, when the will of the ancestral land was triggered, did it convey any instructions?"

Hun Que looked at the Overseer Elder meaningfully, "Take good care of him!"

The Overseer Elder was shocked!

What kind of human is this, to have the ancestral land will issue such a directive!

Very quickly, some ancient memories that were nearly sealed away emerged in the Overseer Elder's mind. He spoke, "Clan Leader, it is said that the birth of the ancestral land is related to a Supreme Venerable mighty being, and the true body of the ancestral land is actually a treasure belonging to that Supreme Venerable?"

Originally, there was no Soul Race ancestral land, but a Supreme Venerable opened up a peculiar space in this piece of stellar space using one of their treasures, thus creating the Soul Race ancestral land, which subsequently nurtured the Soul Race.

This is information passed down by the Soul Race, but until now, no Soul Race member has figured out if this is true or what exactly the treasure that opened the Soul Race ancestral land space is.

However, it is undeniable that if such a treasure exists, it must be a stellar space supreme treasure.

"There is indeed such a saying," Hun Que responded.

The Overseer Elder's pupils constricted slightly: "Is it possible... that the Supreme Venerable encountered an accident and was reincarnated?"

If not, why would the ancestral land's will pass down such instructions? The entire ancestral land is a space opened by the Supreme Venerable's treasure. If the Supreme Venerable was reincarnated, the ancestral land would have sensed it, hence the directive!

It makes perfect sense!

These words startled even Hun Que.

To be honest, such a possibility does exist.

However, on second thought, Hun Que shook his head: "It shouldn't be. If it were true, the ancestral land's will would not pass down such instructions. It would directly choose a master!"

"That's true too..." The Overseer Elder realized his earlier thoughts were somewhat far-fetched.

Yet, the ancestral land's will is truly bewildering.

Why exactly is this? What is so special about that human race?

"There is a deep bond and connection between the Sacred Beast and that human race, so I've already asked Lih Shang to handle this matter. As for the Sacred Beast, our clan shall not interfere for now. However, you can spread the message that anyone who gains the Sacred Beast's approval can stay by its side to cultivate."

The Overseer Elder nodded, able to imagine that the Soul Race would be bustling for some time as many would rush to the Sacred Beast, seeking its approval.

If this were to anger the Sacred Beast or make that human race uncomfortable, it would be inappropriate, so the selection must be carefully considered, not just any race member should go over.

"I will attempt to contact the ancestral land's will to see what exactly is going on," Hun Que spoke.

He, a top fighter who achieved Sun Blaze countless years ago, was now troubled over a Constellation human race matter; saying it out loud is just unjustified. However, this matter involves the ancestral land's will and cannot be taken lightly.

"But Clan Leader, how are we to take care of that human race? We don't have anything suitable for him to consume," the Overseer Elder was somewhat troubled.

The ancestral land's will passed down instructions, which he dared not ignore. Yet indeed, nothing fit for the human race to consume exists here.

"Why not have the Clan Leader provide some Soul Crystals, and I'll go out and buy some treasures to send to him!" The Overseer Elder thought of a good idea.

"No need! Some treasures are ultimately external force; if we are to take care of him, we need to address the root problem." Hun Que shook his head, after a brief pondering, spoke: "How long has it been since the Lotus Pond opened?"

The Overseer Elder was startled: "Clan Leader, do you mean..."

"Open the Lotus Pond. This matter will be a burden on you elder fellows!"

Hun Que swiftly left, leaving the Overseer Elder stunned for a long time, before reluctantly twitching his eyelids.

Opening the Lotus Pond... A simple sentence from the Clan Leader, but it seems these old comrades will nearly die from exhaustion, as it hasn't been the time and a lot of preparation is still needed to open it ahead of time.

That human race... just what is his origin!

The Overseer Elder was dying of curiosity.

In the ancestral land space, Lih Shang led Lu Ye and others around for a long time, still unable to find a suitable five-color Lotus Land.

She was not in a hurry, as there must be an unowned five-color Lotus Land in the ancestral land space, as long as a careful search is conducted.

However, when passing by a certain location, Lih Shang's figure suddenly halted, turning her head to look to the side.

Lu Ye followed her gaze, and saw a huge flower bud there, poised to bloom. As everyone looked upon it, the bud gradually began to open, and coincidentally, colorful light streamed on each petal!

Lih Shang was overjoyed: "That's it!"

Such a newly-formed five-color Lotus Land is surely unowned, sparing the effort to find anything else.

Moreover, a newly-formed five-color Lotus Land carries unknown potential, unlike those already bloomed; the already bloomed Lotus Lands have long been fixed as five-color.

But such just-born five-color Lotus Land may transform into six-color or seven-color.

Occupying it now, if it transforms into six-color or seven-color someday, would be incredibly rewarding.

At that time, with the Sacred Beast residing there, even if Lih Shang's strength falls short, no one in the Soul Race would drive them away.

They waited quietly for a moment until the Lotus Land fully bloomed before Lih Shang led Lu Ye and others to descend upon it.

From a distance, Lu Ye hadn't quite seen much, but upon closer inspection, Lu Ye discovered that the Lotus Land and the Soul Race share the same characteristic, existing in a state of seeming both real and unreal, truly intriguing.
