Chapter 1969: Chapter 1967: A Sudden Turn of Events

Ma Bin was unaware of the exact relationship between Lu Ye and the Dwarf Race, only believing that because he retrieved the core of Mount Fangcun, the Dwarf Race had some affinity for him.

That alone was clearly not enough.

Moreover, as he mentioned, the troubles on him were too great. If he really went to the Dwarf Race, they undoubtedly would not accept him, and might even implicate the Nine Provinces, which he absolutely did not want to see.

Seeing Lu Ye wanting to persuade further, Ma Bin raised his hand to stop him: "Enough, let’s not mention this matter."

"No, senior." Lu Ye began to explain, "If you don’t wish to come back with me to the Nine Provinces, I have another Spirit Jade Vein you can use for healing." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Despite Ma Bin’s vast experience, he couldn’t help but twitch at the corners of his eyes at that moment.

He very much wanted to ask Lu Ye if he knew what he was talking about. What did he mean by saying he had another Spirit Jade Vein?

In this vast stellar space, any Spirit Jade Vein virtually represents a top-level domain, not to be taken lightly by anyone. It was normal for the core of Mount Fangcun to have a Spirit Jade Vein; it was a supreme treasure of the stellar space, and even if broken, the vein could be sustained.

Where did this second Spirit Jade Vein come from?

In stellar space, with so many deeply rooted large domains and many strong Sun Blaze experts, it is hard to seek a Spirit Jade Vein, yet Lu Ye speaks of it like there are two cucumbers at home, so easily?

Lu Ye suddenly thought of the Merfolk Race, stroking his chin, said: "Actually, there’s a third one... but it’s temporarily inconvenient."

Before he set off for the Asura Field, Luan Xiao’e and Great Elder Yan Miao were preparing to break into the Sun Blaze Realm, secluded under the sea at the Spirit Jade Vein. Much time had passed; who knows if they succeeded?

Hence, if Ma Bin needed healing, the Spirit Jade Vein by the Merfolk Race was not suitable for him.

Ma Bin silently, discreetly raised his hand and felt Lu Ye’s forehead, thinking that his junior from the same domain seemed a bit insane.

Lu Ye laughed: "Senior, I’m not joking. I occupy a top-class Spirit Island over at the All Phenomena Ocean, and there’s a Spirit Jade Vein on it."

Standing behind Ma Bin, Zhu Yuan was shocked: "Top-class Spirit Island?"

Ma Bin was equally astonished: "You occupied a top-class Spirit Island?"

"Yes!" Lu Ye nodded, "As per the information from the Nine Provinces, there are three major cultivation domains. When Three Worlds cultivators jointly occupied a desolate island, fortune favored, and this desolate island gradually revived, its grade step by step elevated. Before I set off for the Asura Field, that island was already a top-class Spirit Island."

After hearing his explanation, Ma Bin finally confirmed that Lu Ye wasn’t joking with him. He was momentarily stunned. He had accepted his fate, knowing that the injury to his Dao foundation could only recover in a Spirit Jade Vein. But given his current situation, how could he have such a chance?

Unexpectedly, things took such an unexpected turn...

"How could you occupy a top-class Spirit Island? Does no one covet it?" Ma Bin still couldn’t comprehend, thinking how in a place like the All Phenomena Ocean, casually occupying a desolate island ends up becoming a top-class Spirit Island, such luck is simply defying heaven.

What he understood even less was how such a top-class Spirit Island could be rooted in the star system of the Nine Provinces. Even if top-level forces coveted it, it wouldn’t be surprising.

"Naturally there are. During the rise of Three Worlds Island, it went through two major battles. In these battles, this island proved its strength, so even if someone covets it, temporarily they dare not reach out."

Lu Ye spoke softly, but Ma Bin heard the bloody winds within. In All Phenomena Ocean, only with strong fists and great strength can one prove their power. The battle achievements that made other forces dare not reach out... must have been incredibly stunning to deter all sides.

Ma Bin suddenly realized that he had been underestimating Lu Ye all along.

"Currently, on Three Worlds Island, I am the one who makes the calls. The Spirit Jade Vein is ours, so you need not worry, senior." Lu Ye sincerely looked at Ma Bin, knowing this injury was because of him. If he had no means to resolve, it would be one thing, but with means, he seeks to do his utmost.

"I understand."

After a while, Ma Bin nodded, gazing at Lu Ye with delight: "You’re more reliable than Chao Nian, that lad. Since you have this intention, then I’m obliged. This All Phenomena Ocean... I shall take a trip!"

When there was no means to heal, he could resign to fate, but now having a way, he naturally wouldn’t give up.

Lu Ye rose cheerfully: "Time is of the essence, let’s set off."

"No hurry!" Ma Bin raised his hand to press down, saying, "I will go to All Phenomena Ocean, but not with you."

His identity was ultimately sensitive, and he couldn’t travel with Lu Ye, else when something happens in the future, it certainly would implicate Lu Ye.

Lu Ye pondered briefly to understand his meaning and asked, "Is there any place I can lend a hand?"

Ma Bin smiled: "In All Phenomena Ocean, elder can come and go as he pleases without worry. You return first, and the elder will join you there."

Lu Ye nodded: "Then I shall anticipate your arrival!"

After bidding farewell to Ma Bin, Lu Ye left this desolate planet, feeling much relieved.

Following the faint indication of the seven-colored Mental Consciousness, Lu Ye flew ahead swiftly.

A month later, at a certain point in stellar space, Lu Ye used the seven-colored Divine Lotus to open the passage to the Soul Race’s ancestral land, entering the ancestral land space.

As usual, he went to Lih Shang’s five-color Lotus Land to check on Yiyi and the others. Upon arrival, he found everyone in closed-door cultivation, even Amber was nowhere to be seen.

He wasn’t disappointed; the environment of the Soul Race was particularly suitable for Yiyi. The little girl had the ambition to improve, which was a good thing.

He made a round and headed straight to the seven-color Lotus Land where the stellar space pond was located. Diligent Xuyuan was still guarding the place. Upon seeing Lu Ye, he merely glanced at him and then pointed at the stellar space pond, letting him be at ease.

They were old acquaintances, no need for too many formalities.

Yet Lu Ye didn’t rush to the stellar space pond, instead, he stepped forward and saluted: "Elder, has the Clan Leader returned?"

He had some questions to ask Hun Que. Last time Xuyuan mentioned Hun Que had left for some matters, and Lu Ye was unsure if he had returned.

In fact, when he was with Ma Bin, Lu Ye wanted to ask but figured since Ma Bin would be going to the All Phenomena Ocean later, there would be many opportunities to meet, so he wasn’t in a hurry.

"Not yet," Xuyuan replied.

"Why hasn’t he returned yet?" Lu Ye frowned.

Xuyuan laughed, "The Clan Leader is busy with a major event. Why, do you need some answers again, kid?"

"Still about the Three Blossoms," Lu Ye sighed. Compared to before, this time he had more questions, because he saw some unclear records in the Haichuan Tower of the Sky Asura Race.

Xuyuan thought for a moment and said, "Actually, knowing some things in advance might not be beneficial. Kid, cultivation is best done step by step. When your cultivation reaches a certain level, many things will naturally become clear, wouldn’t you agree?"

Lu Ye looked at him and suddenly realized, "So, Elder, you know some things clearly but don’t find it appropriate to tell me?"

"That’s not it!" Xuyuan quickly waved his hands. "I don’t know much about the Three Blossoms, having never seen them. There are no records on this side of the Soul Race either. The old man is merely a gatekeeper, how could he know much?"

Changing his tone, he continued, "The only thing the old man knows is that if you succeed in condensing the Three Blossoms, it will greatly benefit your future."

Isn’t that obvious? For a moment, Lu Ye couldn’t tell if Xuyuan was hiding something.

Yet on second thought, Xuyuan was right. Some things become clear once one’s cultivation reaches the necessary level.

He need not seek secrets, as even discovering them would be meaningless. The foundation of everything in the cultivation world is one’s own strength; with enough strength, everything else can be discussed.

His state of mind suddenly cleared!

Yes, regardless of doors, depths, or Dao, the only thing he needed to do was to refine his own Magic Source, strive to condense the Qi Flower, and then ascend to Sun Blaze!

"Just as long as you understand," Xuyuan smiled contently at him.

"Thank you, Elder," Lu Ye solemnly bowed and then walked towards the stellar space pond, locating Nine Provinces, and plunged himself into it.

A little over an hour later, outside of Nine Provinces, Lu Ye piloted the starboat, his eyes reflecting the familiar domain in the distance.

This trip to the Asura Field yielded a great deal, not to mention exchanging for numerous treasures to enhance Magic Source quality, he even retrieved the Asura Field Treasure he initially abandoned.

Frankly, no one throughout history earned more than he had.

Handing it to Number Nine, it should be very happy.

Lately, Number Nine had been worried about the future path of the Nine Provinces cultivators. Over on Unparalleled Continent, the Corpse Race was dwindling, soon to be wiped out. When that time comes, how would Nine Provinces cultivators temper themselves?

It previously considered opening True Lake and Divine Sea battlefield, but doing so would place a heavy burden on it and consume the foundation of Nine Provinces to a certain extent.

But if the Asura Field Treasure is utilized, none of these concerns exist. Number Nine can personally oversee, creating an environment similar to the Asura Field for Nine Provinces cultivators to train in, hone themselves, and consequently gain battle merits to exchange for cultivation resources.

This would completely eliminate internal strife among home world cultivators.

Moreover, within the Asura Field Treasure, countless shadows of cultivators from various eras were recorded, allowing Nine Provinces cultivators to directly compare their gap with others and be more motivated.

Everything is heading in a positive direction.

Lu Ye anticipated the expression on Number Nine’s face when he handed over the Asura Field Treasure.

The mark on the back of his hand suddenly stirred. He didn’t need to think; it was Number Nine contacting him, as only Number Nine could sense his return at this time.

Upon a brief check, indeed it was Number Nine’s message. But upon clearly seeing the content, Lu Ye’s expression swiftly turned serious.

In the next instant, he hurriedly stopped, even urging the spirit runes to conceal his aura, hiding his presence.

For no other reason, Number Nine’s message informed him that at this very moment, within the Nine Provinces, an unfamiliar Sun Blaze was searching around for something.
