Sage of Humanity-Chapter 1667 - 1665: Half a Soul Race Member

Hun Que said, "Since you returned with Lih Shang, you must have seen how she communicates with the ancestral land and opens the passage to it."

"I have seen it." Lu Ye nodded.

Hun Que said, "Every member of the Soul Race has this ability, using their Soul Race power. You, being human, naturally don't have a soul bead, but... your seven-color Divine Lotus can serve a similar role!"

Lu Ye quickly understood, "So, I can enter the Soul Race ancestral land from here just like Lih Shang?"

"Give it a try!" Hun Que said.

Lu Ye was greatly excited. The last time when he couldn't stop Yiyi from entering the Soul Race ancestral land, the most troubling thing was not being able to visit her at will. Once separated this time, who knows when they'll meet again. But if he gains this Soul Race ability, it will be much more convenient to enter the ancestral land.

When he wants to visit Yiyi, he just needs to find the right spot, connect with the seven-color Divine Lotus, and he can enter.

Recalling Lih Shang's method of connecting to the Soul Race ancestral land, Lu Ye summoned his seven-color Divine Lotus, letting his Soul Power surge into it.

Soon, he felt that peculiar connection grow stronger, and about two hours later, the void ahead rippled like water, then space blurred and distorted.

This was exactly like when Lih Shang used the soul bead to communicate with the ancestral land before.

However, Lu Ye was much faster. Lih Shang took half a day to connect with the ancestral land, while he only needed two hours. In terms of efficiency, Lih Shang couldn't compare to him.

This was evidently the marvel of the seven-color Divine Lotus. Although it wasn't a soul bead, it was far superior for connecting with the Soul Race ancestral land.

If he ever encounters a crisis, he might use this method to escape!

But two hours is still a bit long. If he can't evade a powerful enemy, this method won't work, and there are specific requirements for the location, not just anywhere will do.

So using this method to escape might rely a lot on luck.

The space twisted and blurred like a fog, and soon colors bloomed from the mist. It was like the scene Lu Ye saw last time, a lotus blossomed from the mist, tendrils of fog around the stamen, leading somewhere unknown.

Hun Que watched quietly at the side, nodding slightly. It seemed the seven-color Divine Lotus truly granted Lu Ye the power to connect with the ancestral land, and it only took two hours...

This speed rivals many Moon Jades.

"Go in." Hun Que spoke.

Lu Ye didn't hesitate, darting into the lotus stamen.

When he steadied himself again, he found he was indeed back in the Soul Race ancestral land, looking around at the various vibrant-sized Lotus Lands.

However, this wasn't where the stellar space pond was located; it appeared to be just some place within the Soul Race's ancestral land. Lu Ye judged that entering from the outside would cause a random arrival.

Hun Que followed right behind him, standing by his side.

Several figures rushed over from afar, including Elder Xuyuan and the Sun Blaze elders, having noticed the commotion here. They all glanced inquisitively at Hun Que, who nodded.

It really worked!

The situation was a bit absurd. No flesh and blood had ever entered this land since ancient times. But now, a human kid waltzes in, stirred the ancestral land's will which gave instructions, and obtained a seven-color Divine Lotus usually reserved for past Sacred Beasts. Moreover, he could travel back and forth using it...

In all their years, this was the first time the Sun Blaze elders witnessed such a bizarre event.

But after some thought, all these peculiarities seemed rooted in the ancestral land's favor towards him. Without its will's permission, none of this would have happened.

Elder Xuyuan's eyes rolled, and he laughed heartily, "Kid, from now on, you can consider yourself half a member of our Soul Race."

Though born human, with Soul Race abilities and access to the ancestral land, calling him half Soul Race was fair.

And someone specially favored by the ancestral will deserved Soul Race's alliance.

Lu Ye was a bit stunned, then nodded, saluting, "I will be counting on all the elders to take care of me in the future!"

"No problem at all," Elder Xuyuan chuckled, "It seems you might not yet know the greatest advantage of your seven-color Divine Lotus."

Lu Ye pondered. The seven-color Divine Lotus undoubtedly has great effects on nurturing his psyche, and it allows him to enter the Soul Race ancestral land from a suitable location in the stellar space. Yet, Elder Xuyuan suggested there were other benefits, prompting Lu Ye to humbly inquire, "Elder, please enlighten me."

Xuyuan explained, "Our Soul Race members can return from certain stellar positions by connecting to the ancestral land using a soul bead, but don't forget the stellar space pond. Through it, our Soul Race can reach specific places in the stellar space. Kid, do you understand now?"

Lu Ye thought and then his eyes lit up. Indeed, the mystery of the stellar space pond was another tremendous benefit of possessing the seven-color Divine Lotus.

Earlier, he was just amazed that his seven-color Divine Lotus could replace the role of a Soul Race's soul bead, forgetting about this aspect.

Now that I think about it, if I want to travel to a certain place in the stellar space in the future, I can definitely use the stellar space pond to achieve my goal. Even if I can't directly reach my destination, I can certainly get to a nearby area, saving a lot of travel time.

For instance, earlier when I wanted to return to the Nine Provinces, it took several years to travel from the All Phenomena Galaxy. But if I had used the stellar space pond, I might have directly reached the Jade Conch Galaxy or somewhere near the Jade Conch Galaxy, and I wouldn't have needed to waste all that travel time.

Lu Ye twitched at the corner of his eyes. Had I known this earlier, I would have brought Lih Shang back before returning to the Nine Provinces.

But at that time, I wasn't very familiar with Lih Shang, and I couldn't have predicted the unexpected benefits I'd receive at the Soul Race ancestral land, so naturally, I couldn't make such a decision. Back then, I was still counting on bringing Lih Shang to the Nine Provinces to solve the issue in Xianyuan City.

Moreover, that journey indirectly resolved a future crisis for the Jade Conch Galaxy. Because if I hadn't helped Indeterminate and the four galaxies with the Allied Forces of the Insect and Blood Races, once the four galaxies were captured, the unfortunate one would be Jade Conch.

Looking at it this way, it's not a loss!

"Clan Leader, since you've considered me a member of the Soul Race, do I also have the privilege to choose a Lotus Land of my own?" Xuyuan looked at Hun Que, intending to rope him in further.

Lu Ye's performance amazed them, and someone who grows up with such promise will definitely be extraordinary in the future. Roping him in early would be beneficial for the Soul Race.

Hun Que naturally understood Xuyuan's intentions and nodded slightly, "Naturally." He looked at Lu Ye, "If you wish, you may choose a five-color Lotus Land to reside in yourself!"

Lih Shang could choose a five-color Lotus Land because she brought back a Sacred Beast, which, even though it violated the clan rules, was enough to offset it. Lu Ye could choose one due to his various performances, and more so because of the ancestral land's instructions.

As for the seven-color Lotus Land… that is reserved for elders like Sun Blaze to choose, as Lu Ye's cultivation is still too low for it.

Lu Ye showed a grateful expression and said, "Thank you, Clan Leader and Elder, for your kindness. However, I am ultimately not a true Soul Race member, so I'm not planning to stay here long. My entry into the ancestral land was an unexpected event, and I'll be leaving in a few days."

He still has to head to the Yin-Yang Great Millstone location; how could he possibly stay here indefinitely?

Hun Que also mentioned that he should focus on increasing his cultivation in the future. Staying here is indeed comfortable, and the Psyche Force increases rapidly, but that would only escalate the conflict between the physical container and the psyche.

Upon hearing this, Hun Que wasn't surprised and nodded, "You are of the human race and indeed should venture out more. Since that is so, keep your Lotus Land privilege; you can choose it whenever you want in the future."

"Thank you, Clan Leader!"

The Sun Blaze elders didn't linger much longer; they quickly left with Hun Que leading the way, while Xuyuan said to Lu Ye before leaving, "Whenever you want to leave, come find me, and I'll take you to the stellar space pond area!"

He is the Overseer Elder that has been responsible for this kind of matter for the past century here in the Soul Race.

Seeing the Sun Blaze elders leave, Lu Ye excitedly rushed towards Lih Shang's Lotus Land.

It took considerable effort to find it.

Mainly because he wasn't very familiar with this place.

Lih Shang and Yiyi were anxiously waiting here.

After the Lotus Pond struggle ended, all the Soul Race members dispersed, but Lu Ye was kept by the Clan Leader and Sun Blaze elders, leaving Lih Shang and Yiyi unsure of what had happened, naturally worried.

Now seeing him return safely, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lu Ye, are you alright?" Yiyi asked nervously, looking at him.

"I'm fine." Lu Ye shook his head with a smile, gently rubbing Yiyi's little head. To be honest, it was a good thing. I can already imagine the look of surprise on Yiyi's face next time I unexpectedly come to visit her.

Hmm, I won't tell her that the seven-color Divine Lotus can replace soul beads for now; I'll give her a surprise later.

"What did the Clan Leader want with you?" Lih Shang asked curiously.

Lu Ye replied, "Nothing much, just casual chatting. They suggested I visit more when I have time."

Lih Shang twitched at the corner of her eyes, naturally not believing Lu Ye's lies.

She didn't know that Lu Ye was actually telling the truth. With the seven-color Divine Lotus, whenever he wants to come here, although not anytime he wishes, it wouldn't take too much effort.

In a great mood.

Lu Ye didn't linger long here because it would be convenient to visit the Soul Race ancestral land in the future; so there was no need for reluctance.

However, Yiyi, although determined to return with Lih Shang, had red eyes when it came time to part. If not for the inability of the soul body to shed tears, she might have been sobbing.

She had waited in the Nine Provinces for so long, finally seeing Lu Ye return safely, only to have to part ways again after just a few years.

But ultimately, it was her own choice, because only by staying here could she walk the true path of the Soul Race. In the future, she would have the ability to fight alongside Lu Ye; otherwise, the gap between them would only widen.
