Sage of Humanity
Chapter 1954 - 1952: Haichuan Tower
In the next period, Lu Ye stayed in that valley, helping the Sky Asura Race to solve the Bloodline Curse Poison.
Mi Shi left and was unseen for a long time, with only Aqiduo accompanying Lu Ye.
The arranged Sky Asura Race members were both young and old, but without exception, all had cultivation and impressive cultivation aptitude.
Solving the Bloodline Curse Poison for one member of the Sky Asura Race took roughly six hours, allowing Lu Ye to treat around three to four people a day.
In the blink of an eye, a month passed.
Lu Ye sat in a chair in front of a wooden house, with his reflection in the mirror showing a battle.
On one side were two Moon Jade cultivators, and on the other was a highly decorative humanoid cover armor.
The two Moon Jade cultivators were none other than Arbuluo and Gu Sheng.
Before Lu Ye arrived at the Asura Field, these two undoubtedly represented the pinnacle of Moon Jade’s combat strength, and now fighting together, the intensity of the battle was beyond imagination.
In the mirror’s reflection, Arbuluo had already displayed the 5th Transformation of the Savage Beast 9 Transformations, using his powerful physical body to withstand the ferocious attacks of the cover armor, while Gu Sheng maneuvered around and unleashed spells of exquisite and tremendous power.
The two had no choice; they had been trying to contact Lu Ye during this period, with no response, and seeing that the time to stay in this scene was nearly up, they could only brace themselves for an attempt.
This battle lasted nearly half a day, and the final result was the humanoid cover armor being blown apart, leaving Arbuluo and Gu Sheng both severely injured!
From the results point of view, their previous decision to recruit Lu Ye into the team was undoubtedly very wise, because if Lu Ye were present, then the combined strength of the three could easily take down the armor, avoiding the current scenario.
Despite their miserable state, the two only rested briefly before enduring their injuries and entering the area guarded by the cover armor.
A moment later, Gu Sheng’s disappointed voice came from the mirror: "How could this be?"
Although there was a valuable treasure there, it had nothing to do with the Asura Field. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
Lu Ye withdrew his gaze, looking sympathetic. If Aqiduo hadn’t brought him over this time, he might be disappointed too.
"By the way," Lu Ye suddenly recalled something and looked at Aqiduo, asking, "Can you help me check on a person named Ma Bin?"
He suddenly remembered seeing a bounty message in the Reward Hall and wasn’t sure whether the Ma Bin mentioned was someone he knew, nor could he contact the person. Now, with Aqiduo, he might help check it out.
"Ma Bin?" Aqiduo hesitated for a moment, then closed his eyes to focus, and a moment later opened them, saying: "Senior brother, do you have more specific information? There are thousands named Ma Bin in the entire Asura Field."
"Human race, Sun Blaze cultivation, male," Lu Ye provided several pieces of information.
Aqiduo apologized: "Sun Blaze cultivation, I can’t check; although I have some powers granted by the Asura Field, I can only explore the situation below Sun Blaze level."
So that’s how it is...
"If that’s the case, forget it." Lu Ye slowly stood up, "Let’s go, let’s visit your Haichuan Tower."
Constantly helping the Sky Asura Race members solve the Bloodline Curse Poison was an extremely tedious task, and his agreement with Mi Shi was for only one thousand five hundred people, so occasionally taking a break was not an issue. After all, the problems here could be solved in less than two years.
Previously, Aqiduo mentioned Haichuan Tower, which piqued Lu Ye’s interest. According to Aqiduo, this was something left by the Sky Asura Race at the height of its power, similar to the Xiyuan Pavilion on the Dwarf Race side, storing a vast amount of information from the stellar space.
However, because of the distant era, many records were lost or became invalid.
Aqiduo readily agreed, immediately leading the way.
A moment later, inside Haichuan Tower, Lu Ye looked at the ancient jade slips casually placed on various wooden shelves, feeling that the Sky Asura Race lacked appreciation for their ancestor’s heritage.
Signs of the Sky Asura Race members were scarcely seen, and many shelves were covered with thick dust.
But upon reflection, it wasn’t surprising. The Sky Asura Race had been troubled by the Bloodline Curse Poison, secluded in this place for untold thousands of years, and a place like this indeed held little attraction for them. Only a few members would visit out of interest.
"Actually, Haichuan Tower has undergone several renovations, and during each, the jade slips stored inside were transcribed again, but very few come here, leading to neglect over time." Aqiduo expressed a regretful demeanor while speaking.
She occasionally visited this place, even contemplating transcribing all the information from the jade slips, but accomplishing such a task alone was too difficult, and much of the information in the slips was incomplete, lacking transcription value anymore.
Lu Ye nodded, casually picking up a jade slip, immersing his Mental Consciousness in it to explore.
As Aqiduo said, the jade slip indeed held fragmented and highly incomplete information. From the remaining data, it seemed to record a unique secret technique of the Sky Asura Race.
However, this secret technique seemed only applicable to the lower four realms, which was below the Divine Sea stage level. Lu Ye casually glanced through it and set it down.
He picked up a second piece...
The location for solving the Bloodline Curse Poison for the Sky Asura Race members shifted from the valley where the wooden house was to Haichuan Tower, and Lu Ye would spend four to six hours a day wandering Haichuan Tower, treating it as leisure after hard work.
The number of jade slips stored in Haichuan was extremely large. Even though Lu Ye’s exploration speed was extremely fast, it would still take ten to twenty years to finish exploring them all. After all, these were treasures left over from the peak period of the Sky Asura Race.
Back then, this place was definitely not accessible to just anyone, but today, even the Sky Asura themselves do not pay much attention to it, so Lu Ye could naturally come and go freely.
He saw many strange tales and anecdotes, greatly expanding his own horizons.
Some of the contents recorded in the jade slips were very interesting, making him read them with great interest.
One day, Lu Ye picked up a jade slip to explore and quickly discovered something different.
"...The gates have opened, the boundaries have been broken, and this is a catastrophe for the entire stellar space."
"The Clan Leader had long foreseen this. Everyone only knows our race as powerful and domineering, enslaving hundreds of star systems, but who could know... Brother Linh Xin and I set out together... the enemy is very strong, we are no match..."
"They are without reason, only spreading the most primal chaos and desire..."
"...We are no match; their power is very strange. I recall what the Clan Leader mentioned before... The monsters from the Abyss are indeed extraordinary, we still need time to adapt."
"...Is this the Dao? I finally understood."
"Linh Xin is dead. I fear I am next. It’s too late, I realized it too late, causing..."
This jade slip, like most jade slips, contained fragmented records, undoubtedly due to being stored for too long. Even though Aqiduo mentioned that the jade slips in the Hundred Rivers Tower had been transcribed several times, they still could not withstand the ravages of time.
He did not know how high the cultivation of the person who left this jade slip was, but just from those fragmented records, it was undoubtedly a Sun Blaze.
Moreover, it should be a pinnacle Sun Blaze!
This Sun Blaze, along with his companion, without knowing where they went or what kind of enemy they encountered, both ended up in misfortune.
What are the gates? Lu Ye was full of doubts; the jade slip’s owner recorded that the gates opened, bringing a catastrophe upon the entire stellar space. So these gates... must be of great significance.
And what of the Abyss... The monsters that emerged from it possess a very strange power!
And the Dao! The jade slip’s owner grasped the Dao, yet it was still too late.
Lu Ye watched in bewilderment, yet was greatly shocked.
He felt that the world was far more complex than he had imagined. With his current cultivation at the Peak Moon Jade stage, he was considered a moderate figure in any place within the stellar space, and the All Phenomena Ocean was also a gathering place of many star systems. But even so, before this, he had never encountered such information.
This shows that these are extremely secret pieces of information, which he wouldn’t have been exposed to if he hadn’t come to the territory of the Sky Asura Race.
Perhaps only when his cultivation improves in the future will he be able to see more and farther.
Putting down the jade slip, Lu Ye casually picked up another one to explore.
Unexpectedly, this casual glance revealed some more interesting, fragmented records.
"...That monster took on a human form, body resembling a woman, enormous beyond compare, akin to a domain in size, with overwhelming power. Something went wrong on the other side of the gates, they couldn’t hold her back, and she broke through."
"Our race gathered elite forces to intercept her at the Hundred Spirits Star System... More than thirty thousand were killed in battle, eighteen thousand are missing..."
"We gathered clues about the monster; she calls herself the Blood Ancestor, possessing Bewitching Blood Path Secret Techniques. Any creature she touched turned into her blood descendant, utterly loyal to her. Those missing clansmen..."
"The fighting on the other side of the gates is intense, we cannot withdraw any forces for the moment. What are we to do?"
"Mount Fangcun sent word that there’s actually a Daoist stationed there. Perhaps we can join forces with them, as Mount Fangcun is a stellar space supreme treasure, and the Blood Ancestor should be interested in such a treasure, the Dwarf Race is also willing..."
"The Blood Ancestor set sights on Mount Fangcun... and fought bravely. As expected of Mount Fangcun, its power is unparalleled. The Daoist controlling this treasure could contend equally with the Blood Ancestor, the stellar space is saved!"
"It seems the Blood Ancestor is dead, her body torn into pieces, and Mount Fangcun has shattered as well. The Dwarf Race’s Daoist is gravely injured and won’t survive, the myriad races of the stellar space should remember their sacrifice!"
"I also will set out; there may be no return from this journey, the other side of the gates..."
The jade slip’s record ended here, leaving Lu Ye dumbstruck.
He never expected that in the Haichuan Tower of the Sky Asura Race, he would find accounts concerning Mount Fangcun and the Blood Ancestor!
Looking across the current stellar space, excluding the Blood Race itself, Lu Ye was confident that no one knew more about the Blood Ancestor and the Blood Race than he did.
Back when he plotted to seize the core of Mount Fangcun, he even encountered a drop of the Blood Ancestor’s Treasure Blood Avatar!
Furthermore, he had devoured and refined so much of the Blood Ancestor’s Sacred Blood, whose saintliness was far superior to any Blood Race.
