Chapter 2021: Chapter 2019: Qin Yi Brings News
Mount Fangcun itself has a strong concealment quality. The cultivators from the three races hiding within can completely catch Zixuan off guard.
It was precisely out of this consideration that Lu Ye thought of maneuvering Mount Fangcun over.
In this world, only he could do it because he is the lord of Mount Fangcun. Back then, he maneuvered the core of Mount Fangcun all the way back from the Illusory Blood Devil’s Eye.
Although the core has now merged with the Eastern Region, maneuvering it remains unproblematic.
However, this matter ultimately requires the support of the Dwarf Race.
Chen Xuanhai nodded and said, "Since you have plans, go ahead with your ideas. Our race will fully cooperate."
Among the Dwarf Race, besides Jade Conch Lou from the Southern Region, Chen Xuanhai commands the highest prestige. His words undoubtedly represent the entire Dwarf Race, and others would have no objections.
"Thank you, Senior Brother!"
Moments later, Mount Fangcun, which had been towering outside the Nine Provinces for years, began to move slowly, accelerating towards the Qingli Dao World.
Before leaving, Lu Ye sent an audio transmission to Number Nine, telling it to keep a good house. Number Nine agreed without hesitation.
The Nine Provinces now has virtually no defensive forces stationed, apart from the dozen or so Constellations who were heavily injured during previous trials. Everyone else has gathered at Mount Fangcun.
However, the Nine Provinces is shrouded by the Asura Field Treasure. As long as Number Nine is here, they can keep the Nine Provinces safe. This is also why Lu Ye dares to shift the battlefield outside without worry—he has no concerns here in the Nine Provinces.
A few days later, Mount Fangcun arrived outside the Qingli Dao World. Lu Ye could see from afar the central battleship he brought back from All Phenomena Ocean.
It seemed a number of cultivators had gathered over there.
Meeting at one point, the central battleship entered Mount Fangcun, along with cultivators returning from All Phenomena Ocean, as well as those from Qingli Dao World led by Wu Zhuo.
The foundation of Qingli Dao World has never been strong. At the Moon Jade level, there’s only Wu Zhuo, and the rest are Constellations. Nevertheless, understanding the seriousness of this battle, Wu Zhuo has gathered all Constellations from the Qingli Dao World to participate, leaving none behind.
This is a defense battle concerning the survival of our home Star System. No one dares to take it lightly.
Before Lu Ye maneuvered Mount Fangcun here, Wu Zhuo was very unsure because the news he heard was that ten major Sun Blaze leaders were leading the Zixuan side’s attack. How could Jade Conch possibly contend with such enemies?
But after entering Mount Fangcun, Wu Zhuo was dumbfounded by the sight of countless cultivators, many Constellations, numerous Moon Jades, and even more than twenty Sun Blaze auras...
It’s truly perplexing where Lu Ye found so many allies, and besides the human race, there are also the Dwarf Race, Soul Race...
He even saw the legendary Merfolk Race, making him temporarily dizzy with a broadened horizon.
The number of the Flower Race and other three races has always been small, living entirely within the Flower World, which is attached to the Nine Provinces. For this battle, the cultivators from the three races volunteered to fight, and Lu Ye didn’t refuse.
Although the cultivation of the three races’ cultivators may not be very high and they are not adept at fighting enemies, whether it be the Flower Race, Wood Spirit Race, or Spore Race, all are naturally healing cultivators with different methods of helping and healing others. In a battle of this scale, having them naturally brings utility.
Lu Ye’s instructions to them were to stay within Mount Fangcun and assist with healing as needed when allied cultivators return. The cultivators from the three races unanimously agreed.
The Allied Forces of the seven races now exceed ten thousand, all at the level of Constellation and above.
This does not include the cultivators from the Jade Conch World. The people from Jade Conch haven’t come over yet; it will take some time, but it shouldn’t be long before they join us.
Without any sign of the enemy, Lu Ye didn’t wait in place but continued to maneuver Mount Fangcun forward to meet them, stopping only when they were not far from the geomagnetic turbulence zone, setting up a deployment.
The route from All Phenomena Ocean to the Nine Provinces is fixed, and Black Cloud only knows this route. Therefore, if the Zixuan battalion attacks, it must be possible to intercept them near this position.
Judging by the time, it shouldn’t be far off if the Zixuan battalion really attacks.
Inside Mount Fangcun, the cultivators from various races interacted harmoniously, familiarizing themselves with each other and finding their comrades. Meanwhile, Yann Miao from the Merfolk Race approached Lu Ye, engaging him in conversation.
"Take a drop of Essence Blood from every cultivator? For what reason?" Lu Ye asked, puzzled, looking at Yann Miao.
Yann Miao, however, was mysterious: "You’ll understand when the time comes. It’s definitely not a bad thing; it’s a secret of our race."
Of course, Lu Ye trusted Yann Miao wouldn’t do anything bad with the Essence Blood. After many years of interaction, they had that level of trust. So he nodded immediately, "No problem, I’ll give the order, and you can collect them."
With such an order, Lu Ye took the lead in allowing Yann Miao to take a drop of his Essence Blood.
The Merfolk Race began their busy work, with all the clan members running around, seemingly preparing something.
After a few more days, the Jade Conch cultivators arrived under Qiu Wu’s leadership to meet up, yet there was still no sign of the Zixuan demon cultivators.
This made Lu Ye somewhat skeptical, wondering if Black Cloud had been bluffing at the time. But upon reconsideration, in that situation, Black Cloud had no need to deceive him. Moreover, deploying troops from Zixuan was a long journey, and delays were normal, making it hard to match the timing.
Sitting around waiting wasn’t a solution, so Lu Ye sought out Chen Xuanhai and Xuyuan, instructing them to stay and oversee things while he prepared to venture into the geomagnetic turbulence zone for exploration.
Now elevated to the level of Sun Blaze in cultivation, with divine runes aiding him, concealing himself wasn’t difficult. As long as he was careful, he shouldn’t be detected.
Chen Xuanhai and Xuyuan naturally had no objections, only reminding him to be careful.
Once everything was ready, Lu Ye was about to set off when suddenly the audio talisman began to vibrate.
He quickly picked up the audio talisman and upon seeing the message, raised his eyebrows slightly.
The message was from a Sun Blaze cultivator of the Dwarf Race. Acting under Lu Ye’s orders, he was monitoring the situation at a location further ahead, and moments earlier, he had made a discovery.
This discovery, however, took Lu Ye by surprise.
Without delay, he rushed out of Mount Fangcun, flying forward. Before long, two figures appeared ahead, coming together. One was the Sun Blaze cultivator who had sent the message, and the other was an elegant woman.
Lu Ye stopped and waited where he was.
Soon, the Sun Blaze of the Dwarf Race and the woman arrived, prompting Lu Ye to smile faintly and clasp his fists in salute, "Senior Sister Qin!"
The visitor was none other than Qin Yi from the Beixuan Galaxy.
Beixuan is one of the members of the four galaxies. Besides Beixuan, there are Indeterminate, Daluo, and Tranquil Moon. Being neighbors, these four galaxies host exchanges frequently, each with Sun Blaze cultivators stationed there.
In the past, during the battle between the four galaxies and the Insect and Blood Races, Beixuan lost a Sun Blaze named Chen Zong, who was Qin Yi’s Dao companion.
During that battle, Lu Ye, using his Constellation body, powerful defeated a Blood Race Sun Blaze named Bai Jin, avenging Chen Zong. Qin Yi was very grateful for this.
Before Lu Ye left the four galaxies, she visited him late at night, offering him a keepsake and some gifts. The gifts included some spirit jade and a Psyche Secret Treasure, valuable yet not rare. However, the keepsake was extraordinary, enabling Lu Ye to command all Beixuan cultivators on the All Phenomena Ocean, as if Qin Yi herself were present.
This certainly represented Qin Yi’s gratitude toward Lu Ye, for otherwise, she wouldn’t have given such a keepsake. However, Lu Ye had never used it and had long forgotten where he placed it.
Pasts faded like smoke, yet unexpectedly, they met again today.
Qin Yi appeared somewhat fatigued, her Sun Blaze body showing signs of weariness, indicating she had rushed here with no stops and full speed, or else she wouldn’t appear so tired.
"Have you really become Sun Blaze?" Qin Yi stared at Lu Ye in astonishment; despite hearing about Lu Ye’s recent situation from the Dwarf Race Sun Blaze beside her, she couldn’t believe it without seeing it herself. It was astonishing; after all, Lu Ye left the four galaxies not too long ago with a much lower cultivation.
"I just advanced not long ago." Lu Ye replied with a smile.
Qin Yi murmured repeatedly, "Incredible..." Much like when she first heard about Lu Ye using his Constellation body to kill a Sun Blaze, despite knowing the Sun Blaze was immobilized due to the Dancing Girl, crossing two major levels to defeat an enemy was still shocking.
Though hard to believe, the reality was evident. Lu Ye’s aura and the fluctuations in mana were indeed at the Sun Blaze level.
She quickly steadied her thoughts and hurriedly spoke, "Lu Ye, I’ve come to report."
"Oh?" Lu Ye raised an eyebrow, vaguely guessing yet asking, "What’s the situation?"
Qin Yi stated, "Your Jade Conch is in great danger. You must leave quickly!"
Lu Ye glanced at the Dwarf Race Sun Blaze beside him, who smiled back. Just as Qin Yi told him earlier, she had shared the same information with him. After briefly investigating the relationship between Qin Yi and Lu Ye, he directly sent the transmission to Lu Ye.
"You talk, I’ll continue monitoring." He said, turning back the way he came.
"Thank you, Senior Brother." Lu Ye called out to his retreating figure.
"It seems you have made some arrangements?" Qin Yi raised her slender eyebrows, subtly realizing something, "Though I’m unsure why your Jade Conch has Sun Blaze, just one Sun Blaze—even with you and me—is not enough. You must leave, and take everyone you can with you. If you delay, disaster will surely follow."
To her knowledge, Jade Conch should not have Sun Blaze. While Lu Ye’s ascent was understandable, the other was not a newly advanced Sun Blaze, and he was at least mid-stage.
Hearing her urgent insistence, warmth filled Lu Ye’s heart, showing that his aid to the four galaxies years ago was not in vain.
Qin Yi was undoubtedly upholding her promise from before, sincerely considering Lu Ye as a benefactor of Beixuan, thus rushing here to warn him.
"Senior Sister, what do you know? Could you tell me?" Lu Ye asked.
