Chapter 1958 - 1956: The Road to Success Is Full of Obstacles

Translate to

Days once again became uneventful; every day, aside from helping the Sky Asura Race eradicate the Bloodline Curse Poison, Lu Ye would investigate the multitude of jade slips in Haichuan Tower.

A couple of days after those events, Yuk Yaorao sent another message, asking to visit Lu Ye to express her gratitude in person.

This was different from back in the Taichu Realm, as it was a genuine life-saving grace. Back in the Taichu Realm, she at least had the opportunity to withdraw; if she truly felt she couldn't hold on, she could completely extricate herself, but during the trial in the Asura Field, there wasn't such a notion.

It's safe to say that if she hadn't summoned Lu Ye at the crucial moment, her end would certainly not have been favorable.

Naturally, Lu Ye was unable to meet her; being summoned was one thing, where he could directly assist beside Yuk Yaorao. But now, he was in a hidden location where the Sky Asura Race resides in seclusion. Leaving rashly would require the Sky Asura to expend energy to bring him back.

He replied to Yuk Yaorao, stating that he was in seclusion.

Yuk Yaorao dared not disturb him.

Thus, several months passed, and in front of Haichuan Tower, a Sky Asura Race cultivator, who had been assisted by him to solve the Bloodline Curse Poison, bowed in thanks and departed.

Aqiduo, who had always been by his side, spoke up: "You've worked hard during this time, senior brother."

Lu Ye paused for a moment and immediately grasped the point: "No one left?"

Aqiduo nodded: "A total of fifteen hundred people have been helped."

There are about ten thousand members in the Sky Asura Race, but since Mi Shi had previously signed an Asura Pact with Lu Ye, Lu Ye needed only to cure fifteen hundred people of the Bloodline Curse Poison. With these clansmen to reproduce, the Sky Asura Race would no longer be troubled by the curse, no matter how difficult they found breeding; they would always have a chance to rise again.

At this point, the Asura Pact was truly completed. Apart from the initial affiliated treasure he had acquired, Lu Ye was now enjoying the same fifty percent discount on resources from the Asura Treasure Vault as granted to the Sky Asura Race, which would undoubtedly save him an untold amount of Asura Seals in the future.

"If senior brother wishes to leave, I can escort you out," Aqiduo spoke again.

Lu Ye pondered briefly and asked, "What if I want to return after I leave?" He was particularly intrigued by the ancient jade slips in Haichuan Tower; although he hadn't found anything interesting lately, he wanted to continue his exploration.

Aqiduo replied: "You just need to send me a message at that time, and I will guide you back in. This place is an absolute forbidden land to outsiders; no one has ever entered before, but Lu Ye is certainly different."

Lu Ye nodded, thinking for a moment: "Then you go about your business, and I'll inform you when I plan to leave."

"Alright, senior brother can call on me anytime." Aqiduo stepped back.

Not having to solve the Bloodline Curse Poison problem for the Sky Asura Race anymore, Lu Ye stayed in Haichuan Tower for the following period.

Initially, apart from seeing numerous curious records that broadened his horizons, he didn't gain much—until one day, he picked up a somewhat fragmented jade slip.

"Cultivation of three thousand years, cultivation level cannot progress, yet I can feel it... how can the barrier be broken?"

"The Out-Of-Body Incarnation Method cannot solve it, only force can be prepared in advance, but if the door doesn't open, it's all..."

"The Inner Core Technique is equally useless, unable to reach that level, must I only wait? But if the door opens, it will be a catastrophe."

"Asked senior brother Xun Yun, he's indeed practicing ancient methods, and has enlightened already!"

"Regret not persisting back then; if I had cultivated ancient methods too..."

"But how can ancient methods be so easy to cultivate—the change in the large environment has long made these cultivation techniques vanish; Xun Yun's success contains much luck, and also the staunch support of the entire race."

"My heart is possessed by demons... decided to go into seclusion..."

"..."

The jade slip's records were as fragmented as those he had explored before, yet one could see some pattern. Lu Ye was itching to find out more, because this jade slip mentioned that door again...

From the records, it seemed that the owner of the jade slip had reached a limit in cultivation, yet he could sense his own barrier but was unable to break it. Breaking it seemed contingent upon waiting for the door to open.

But he was also very worried, because once the door opened, it would be a catastrophe.

What was the Out-Of-Body Incarnation Method and the Inner Core Technique mentioned? Lu Ye had no idea.

What intrigued him most was the mention of senior brother Xun Yun, who practiced ancient methods. Lu Ye's current understanding of ancient methods was limited to the Three Blossoms Method, but he wasn't sure whether senior brother Xun Yun was practicing the same.

It seemed that cultivators of ancient methods enjoyed more conveniences compared to ordinary cultivators. So senior brother Xun Yun had enlightened—enlightened about what?

Remaining silent for a while, Lu Ye put down the jade slip and continued his investigations.

Uncertain of how much time had elapsed, the Asura Authority Token suddenly emitted a movement, prompting Lu Ye to inspect it. He discovered that someone from the Moon Jade Combat Field was challenging him.

Instantly, he paid it no heed...

Since he was no longer the top of the Moon Jade Combat Field; he had spent nearly two years in this scene of the Sky Asura Race's seclusion. Over such a long duration, there would inevitably be challengers to his position.

Initially, it was Arbuluo and Gu Sheng, because they couldn't reach him, they wanted to force him to show up using this method.

Lu Ye naturally didn't respond, and then his ranking dropped, and afterwards even that guy Tian Yan came to challenge him…

Later, his ranking fell layer by layer, now it has long gone beyond the five hundred mark.

If he hadn't signed the Asura Pact with Mi Shi, Lu Ye might have intended to maintain his top position, because according to the rules of the Asura Field, being at the top accumulates a certain number of times, and enjoys discounted exchange for resources in the Asura Treasure Vault.

The main reason he initially aimed for the top spot was for this discount, but now there is no need to care about it.

Even with such discounts, can it be more favorable than the Sky Asura Race?

As for the top, it is merely a hollow fame, and at Lu Ye's level, he long stopped caring.

After some time, Lu Ye left this scene and returned to the Sky Asura World, first taking a stroll around the Reward Hall, taking up several tasks suitable for himself, and participating in a trial.

The number of jade slips in Haichuan Tower is too many, it's impossible to explore them all at once, and prolonged exploration can indeed be tiring. Occasionally participating in a trial can relax, stretch his muscles.

Given such discounts, the Asura Seals he earned all have double value.

This time, without the Sky Asura Race interfering secretly, it was much more normal, just like his first time participating in a trial.

Even the Dice of Fate rolled a lucky character, he cut through all obstacles, slaughtered the final enemy, and smoothly completed this trial.

But the Asura Seal reward he received during the settlement made Lu Ye somewhat disheartened, because it was less than two hundred thousand Asura Seals…

He remembered his first trial, he only got a dozen or so thousand Asura Seals, he previously talked with Arbuluo and Gu Sheng, the Moon Jade level trials generally yield less than twenty thousand Asura Seals, rarely exceeding thirty thousand.

But since Lu Ye entered the Asura Field, he initially accumulated a large amount of Asura Seals quickly through the combat field, then earned a fortune at the Reward Hall.

That Ding'an City trial even yielded more than seven million in one go…

Having been accustomed to gourmet meals, suddenly chewing chaff and pickled vegetables, the gap is truly too big.

But he knows, this is actually the normal speed and efficiency for earning Asura Seals, his previous rapid wealth accumulation was abnormal.

The Sky Asura Race has limits on their interference with the Asura Field, after interfering with the Ding'an City scene last time, they cannot reproduce that method in a short period.

Lu Ye can only comfort himself that good things are often hard to come by.

After finishing trials, he sends a message to Aqiduo, asking her to guide him back to the secluded scene, continuing to immerse himself in Haichuan Tower.

On this day, Lu Ye casually picked up a jade slip and focused on it.

"Ancient Method: Secret of the Three Blossoms"

A line of bold letters instantly imprinted in his eyes, Lu Ye couldn't help being stunned, then his spirit soared!

He just knew that a race like the Sky Asura, which once dominated an era, couldn't possibly lack records about the Three Blossoms, especially since in a jade slip he explored before, someone mentioned a senior cultivating the ancient method.

After such a long search, finally having results, it can be said that hard work pays off!

Immediately calming his mind, he carefully explored, also secretly praying the jade slip isn't too severely damaged.

A moment later, Lu Ye looked in contemplation holding the jade slip.

The jade slip indeed wasn't too seriously damaged, although the latter part was almost unreadable, the former part's records still had traceable paths.

According to the records in this jade slip, his path wasn't wrong. During the Constellation Realm, he deliberately went to the Yin-Yang Great Millstone to temper his body, enabling him to condense the Body Flower.

And now at the Moon Jade Realm, he truly needs to refine his Magic Source to the state of Perfection to condense the Qi Flower.

As for the subsequent involvement of the Sun Blaze level for the Divine Flower, Lu Ye saw very little.

The jade slip records that each step is extremely difficult, as one must reach the utmost extent in a realm to condense the Three Blossoms.

The Body Flower, although difficult, has been achieved by quite a few throughout history, but the Qi Flower requires Magic Source Perfection, which has stumped countless talented cultivators.

It's unrelated to innate talent, just the sheer number of treasures needed, only those cultivators from top clans with their clans as backing have hope to achieve this condition.

Someone like Lu Ye with no significant support, can only rely on self-effort, but just relying on oneself, how many years would it take?

In flourishing places like the All Phenomena Ocean, treasures that can refine the quality of the Magic Source are swiftly snatched away upon appearance, too many cultivators have demand for such treasures.

Seeing this, Lu Ye admires those cultivators practicing the Three Blossoms method, he has the Talent Tree and guidance from the Reincarnation Tree, enabling him to walk this path, arguably born with more conveniences than other cultivators, others don't have conditions like his, their effort on this path is definitely much more than his.
