Sage of Humanity-Chapter 1661 - 1659: Far Too Biased

Since ancient times, apart from the Sacred Beast, no flesh and blood can enter the Soul Race ancestral land, not because of the inherent mystique of the ancestral land itself, but because of the will of the ancestral land.

The will of the ancestral land does not allow flesh and blood to enter, so flesh and blood cannot come in.

If the will of the ancestral land allows Lu Ye to enter, then Lu Ye can enter. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Similarly, if the will of the ancestral land permits, Lu Ye can naturally refine the second Divine Lotus, because each Divine Lotus is a manifestation of the ancestral land's will.

Hun Que gazed at the direction of Lu Ye in the Lotus Pond, truly unable to discern what was so special about this human cultivator to warrant such treatment by the will of the ancestral land.

But his ability to enter the ancestral land and refine the second Divine Lotus in itself explains the situation.

Hun Que watched with great interest, feeling faintly that refining two Divine Lotuses might not be the end, but perhaps just the beginning!

In the Lotus Pond, Lu Ye confirmed one thing, although he had refined two Divine Lotuses, in reality, there was still only one in the Divine Sea, except that it seemed to have undergone some mysterious change...

Thus, could refining more Divine Lotuses induce greater transformations in the two-color Divine Lotus in the Divine Sea, perhaps it could even become a three-color?

Originally, after refining one Divine Lotus, Lu Ye had no further desires, intending only to stay here for three days to refine some pond water and strengthen his own psyche.

But with this new discovery, he was instantly invigorated, immediately moving in a certain direction.

Soon, a spot of light entered his vision, upon closer inspection, it was a single-color Divine Lotus, which Lu Ye did not disdain, and promptly extended his Mental Consciousness over it, just like before.

The Mental Consciousness smoothly infiltrated the Divine Lotus, and when he withdrew it, the Divine Lotus was similarly absorbed into the Divine Sea.

Upon careful examination, the Divine Sea still contained only a two-color Divine Lotus, but, compared to before, there was a modest yet noticeable transformation!

Sure enough, as he thought, his Divine Sea's Divine Lotus could fuse with other Divine Lotuses, evolving towards higher qualities.

Instantly, the vexation over refining only one two-color Divine Lotus dissipated, as this method of transformation meant there was no need for regret; as long as he refined enough Divine Lotuses, the ultimate quality of the Divine Lotus he could obtain would surely surpass two colors.

He eagerly continued his search.

There were quite a number of Divine Lotuses in the Lotus Pond, continually nurturing, so essentially, every now and then, Lu Ye could find a new Divine Lotus.

But as Lih Shang previously mentioned, most of the Divine Lotuses in the Lotus Pond are of mediocre quality, so he mostly came across single-color and two-color ones.

In just half an hour, Lu Ye had refined approximately ten Divine Lotuses, and upon refining the tenth, he distinctly felt a subtle transformation occurring within his Divine Sea.

Quickly submerging his mind to observe, he discovered the two-color Divine Lotus within the Divine Sea had remarkably begun to emit three-color radiance, with an added touch of black alongside the previous purple-white.

It truly had become a three-color Divine Lotus!

By comparison, the effect of nurturing the psyche by the three-color Divine Lotus was significantly stronger than the two-color, providing a clearer and more robust feedback through nurturing the Soul Power.

And this was merely three colors; what about four or five colors?

Lu Ye's heart surged with excitement, never expecting such an opportunity simply by escorting Lih Shang back to the ancestral land.

Such benefits, aside from the Soul Race ancestral land, would likely be impossible to find across the stellar space.

In one hour, two colors transformed into three colors, yet with the Lotus Pond only open for three days, trying to evolve his Divine Lotus to five colors would be a lengthy challenge.

Lu Ye promptly sprang into action.

Wherever he went, one Divine Lotus after another, single-color and two-color, was continually refined, leaving Hun Que and the elders of the Soul Race Sun Blaze watching in wide-eyed amazement.

They had lived for so many years and had never witnessed something so peculiar, even though Hun Que had explained it was the will of the ancestral land, they found it hard to accept!

The ancestral land, after all, was the Soul Race's ancestral land, yet even the Soul Race with the most outstanding aptitude can only refine one Divine Lotus in the Lotus Pond, like them, having reached Sun Blaze, each had a five-color Divine Lotus in their Divine Sea.

But even they could not refine a second Divine Lotus when they entered the Lotus Pond back then.

A mere human cultivator could!

It seems the will of the ancestral land is overly partial.

Of course, these thoughts were merely shuffled around in their minds, absolutely not daring to voice them.

Xuyuan now felt rather certain that this human cultivator named Lu Yiye must either be the reincarnation of that great power or have some connection to that figure, otherwise, he wouldn't receive such favor from the Soul Race ancestral land. The possibility of the former was low, so likely the latter.

Amidst the watchful gaze of many Sun Blaze elders, Lu Ye continued to refine numerous Divine Lotuses yet for the three-color Divine Lotus, the enhancement provided by single-color and two-color was not as apparent as before.

Lu Ye realized that to expedite the evolution of the three-color Lotus, he needed to seek higher quality Divine Lotuses, ideally a five-color one, achieving perfection in one stroke!

Unfortunately, throughout the entire Lotus Pond, there were only two or three five-color Divine Lotuses, and the Lotus Pond itself was vast, making it exceedingly difficult to find a five-color one.

He didn't find the five-color one, but he finally found a three-color one!

Following the tricolor glow, he arrived in front of a three-color Divine Lotus, only to see a Soul Race cultivator attempting to refine it.

The Soul Race cultivator, seeing Lu Ye approaching, visibly tensed up for a moment...

Because the Lotus Pond contest allows for mutual attacks, it's not a place for peaceful coexistence. After all, there are only a few five-color Divine Lotuses. If many from the Soul Race discover them at the same time, naturally, whoever has the stronger might has the right to refine.

Moreover, refining a Divine Lotus itself requires consuming some time, which further adds to the possibility of conflict.

Soul Race members entering the Lotus Pond are all in the Constellation Realm. The Soul Power fluctuations on this Soul Race cultivator had the obvious strength of the Constellation Late Stage. Seeing Lu Ye approaching, he was both vigilant and continued refining the Divine Lotus in front of him.

Lu Ye stood not far away, quietly observing and waiting.

After all, he was a guest. The host allowing him to participate in the Lotus Pond contest was already a kindness, and he had already gained something. If this three-color Divine Lotus was unclaimed, he would naturally refine it freely. But since there's already someone eyeing it, it's not appropriate to snatch it away.

Just wait and see, what if the guy can't refine it...

It's said that it's quite difficult for the Soul Race to refine a Divine Lotus.

Whether it was due to the pressure of Lu Ye's presence or the Soul Race cultivator's lack of opportunity, after quite a while, he still wasn't able to refine the three-color Divine Lotus. Annoyed, he couldn't help but glare at Lu Ye: "What are you looking at?"

Lu Ye smiled at him without speaking. He had already shown enough goodwill. If the other party was unreasonable, then they'd have to duke it out.

Fortunately, the Soul Race cultivator wasn't unreasonable and had no intention of having a fight with Lu Ye. Determining that he couldn't refine the three-color Divine Lotus, he said, "Give it a try if you want, it's not like you can necessarily refine it either!"

At that, Lu Ye stepped forward: "Well, I'll humbly accept then!"

"Hmph!" The Soul Race cultivator moved aside a bit, then saw Lu Ye standing before the three-color Divine Lotus. As Lu Ye glanced at the Divine Lotus, he vaguely sensed traces of Mental Consciousness surging from Lu Ye, and the next instant, the three-color Divine Lotus disappeared in a flash!

Lu Ye nodded slightly to the Soul Race cultivator: "Thank you!"

Walked away.

Leaving the Soul Race cultivator standing there dumbfounded, watching his figure grow distant!

What had just happened? The three-color Divine Lotus, which he had put so much effort into but failed to refine, was casually refined by someone else just like that? From start to finish, it only took a moment of time.

He simply couldn't believe his eyes!

How frustrating, why is it that others can get their opportunities so easily, while it's so difficult for him?

Soon he calmed himself, thinking that the three-color was nothing; to refine a four-color or five-color is the real opportunity. Earlier, he was just testing the waters a little; failing to refine the three-color doesn't mean he can't refine the four-color or five-color. Perhaps there's an even better chance awaiting him!

Forcefully comforting himself, the Soul Race cultivator left in an angry huff.

Meanwhile, Lu Ye was inspecting the Divine Lotus in the Divine Sea, and indeed, after refining a three-color one, the original three-color Divine Lotus had changed considerably, showing noticeable signs of evolving towards four-color. Lu Ye felt that at this rate, as long as he refined three or four more three-color ones, it should evolve.

In this Lotus Pond, the four-color and five-color Divine Lotuses were hard to find, but there were quite a few three-color ones.

Target, the five-color Divine Lotus, Lu Ye was confident he'd achieve it within three days!

Right now, the Sun Blaze elders observing the Lotus Pond contest were already numb. One by one, they all had the big words "biased" in their minds!

Because they noticed that the newly nurturing Divine Lotuses in the Lotus Pond were basically all surrounding Lu Yiye, many of which appeared right along his path.

This meant he could continuously encounter new Divine Lotuses and then claim them for his use.

If they were told that there wasn't some ancestral land will secretly assisting, they wouldn't believe it even if beaten to death.

Calculating from the opening of the Lotus Pond until now, in just four hours, this guy had refined over a hundred Divine Lotuses!

Yet he didn't seem satisfied, obviously searching around.

But what's the point in refining so many Divine Lotuses? Logically speaking, for a person, even if one Divine Lotus isn't enough, three to five should be. Over a hundred... he can't possibly be thinking of taking them out to give as gifts, can he?

That would be a bit too much!

"Biased, too biased!" A Sun Blaze elder couldn't help but mutter softly to himself.

Because he suddenly discovered that right in Lu Ye's path, a four-color Divine Lotus was rapidly nurturing.

Previously, it was fine when the Divine Lotuses nurturing around Lu Ye were just single-colored or double-colored, not even a three-color, and now suddenly there's a four-color.

Why not just give him a five-color!
