Chapter 2135: Chapter 2133: Su Wan’s Identity
Lu Ye briefly explained the situation of the Star Abyss invasion to Fong Rumo and informed him of the current location of the five major vulnerabilities in the stellar space, leaving the rest to him.
For someone as powerful as Fong Rumo, if he sees the potential for further advancement, he will undoubtedly seize the opportunity with all his might.
Thus, he will inevitably head to one of the vulnerabilities in the future to join the effort.
He has already forged his Dao foundation, and in the path of cultivation, he is ahead of most cultivators in the stellar space. After the Star Abyss invasion, he will be able to cultivate Dao force and truly become a Dao Realm expert.
Both he and Ma Bin, who have successfully established their Dao foundation under the original stellar space conditions, have opportunities and potential far beyond ordinary cultivators, and they are destined for great achievements in the future.
"Fellow Daoist, how much do you know about the Animitta Palace?"
Just as Fong Rumo was looking forward to the future, Lu Ye suddenly asked.
The reason for bringing up the Animitta Palace is that the supreme treasure, the Tianxuan Sword, is in the Animitta Palace, and Fong Rumo claimed to have touched the Tianxuan Sword, which means he must have entered the Animitta Palace and might even be a cultivator of the Animitta Palace!
"Animitta Palace..." Fong Rumo showed a reminiscing look, "To be frank, before being hunted by the Tianxuan Sword, I was the Left Protector of the Animitta Palace."
If someone had asked him about this in the past, he might not have said much, but the current situation is different, and given that Lu Ye helped solve such a big problem for him, it’s naturally not good to hide the truth.
"It should be obvious to you, I am a sword cultivator. As a sword cultivator, who doesn’t want a good sword? Looking at the stellar space, what sword can compare to a supreme treasure, so... hehe..."
Lu Ye roughly understood. He wanted to obtain the Tianxuan Sword, so he joined the Unparalleled Palace, later had the opportunity to touch the Tianxuan Sword, only to be hunted by its Sword Qi for a thousand years.
It is truly a tragic experience.
"Have you ever seen the Saintess of the Animitta Palace?" Lu Ye asked again.
"Saintess?" Fong Rumo pondered, "I didn’t stay in the Animitta Palace for very long, just a mere ten years, but during that time, I never saw the Saintess. I only heard that the Saintess had long disappeared, and there seemed to be some undisclosed secrets involved, but I don’t know the specifics."
Lu Ye recalled when the cultivators of the Animitta Palace descended upon the All Phenomena Ocean, their attitude towards Yaya indeed involved some undisclosed secrets.
Looking at today’s situation, the missing Saintess of the Animitta Palace was undoubtedly Yaya. But since she left the All Phenomena Ocean, she has been unheard of, and her situation is unknown.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, do you know the Saintess of the Animitta Palace?" Fong Rumo looked at Lu Ye.
"There’s some connection."
Fong Rumo understood: "With your strength, if you intend to find the Saintess, you can simply go directly to the Animitta Palace and inquire. I believe the Palace Master won’t hide anything."
"That’s exactly what I intended." Lu Ye nodded. With the matters here settled, it was the perfect time to ask Tree Elder about the exact location of the Animitta Palace.
Though Fong Rumo likely knew too, with the current proliferation of Insect Path, many regular routes can be replaced by it to shorten travel time. In this regard, Fong Rumo’s knowledge isn’t as detailed as Tree Elder’s.
"By the way, what is the typical status of the Saintess in the Animitta Palace?" Lu Ye asked again.
"The Saintess is the future Palace Master, essentially the preparatory Palace Master of the Animitta Palace. If the current Palace Master encounters any unforeseen circumstances, then the Saintess would take over as Palace Master."
Lu Ye blinked: "Is the Palace Master of the Animitta Palace a woman?"
"Yes, the founder of the Animitta Palace was a woman, so every Great Palace Master is female, though there are several Palace Masters below the Great Palace Master." Fong Rumo nodded, "The current Great Palace Master is named Su Wan, and her strength surpasses mine, but... that was a thousand years ago, as for now..."
He wore a self-assured expression, confident that he was now more powerful than the Palace Master Su Wan.
"If you wish to visit the Animitta Palace, I can guide you!" Fong Rumo offered.
Lu Ye hesitated briefly, then shook his head and said, "No need, I have other matters to attend to. If you are free, choose a vulnerability to go to; manpower is needed at various sites now."
"Alright then." Fong Rumo nodded and cupped his hands, "Farewell."
With a leap, he tried to soar away, only to make a hop in place.
Looking at Lu Ye awkwardly, "Fellow Daoist, lend me a hand; I’ve exhausted my Dao force."
Lu Ye chuckled, raised his hand to clasp his arm, infused mana, and soared into the sky.
A short while later, ten thousand miles near Insect Emperor World, Fong Rumo transformed into a streak of light and vanished.
Watching his departing figure, Lu Ye murmured, "Su Wan!"
So that’s how it is. He had always been puzzled about where Su Wan, this obscurely powerful figure, belonged to in the stellar space forces, thinking it was hidden by some faction. To his surprise, she was the Great Palace Master of the Animitta Palace!
Given this, there was no need to worry excessively about Yaya. Su Wan must be aware of Yaya’s relationship with him, as the Animitta Palace once invaded the All Phenomena Ocean, and the Third Palace Master Shang Chengyue leading the charge must have reported her experiences to Su Wan upon returning.
Tree Elder undoubtedly knows Su Wan’s identity; otherwise, she wouldn’t have been sent to govern the Mystic Frost Star System.
When time permits, perhaps visiting there to ask Su Wan about Yaya’s current situation would be worthwhile.
And about Fong Rumo...
He touched the Tianxuan Sword, this supreme treasure, hence provoking the millennium chase of the Tianxuan Sword Qi.
But a Sun Blaze, no matter how deep and profound their foundation, can really get entangled with the power of a supreme treasure for a millennium? Even if the Tianxuan Sword Qi can only be considered an affiliated treasure.
From the outcome, however, the millennial entanglement even allowed Fong Rumo to forge his Dao foundation through the insights into the mysterious Tianxuan Sword Qi; such an opportunity is unique across the stellar space.
The further one progresses in the cultivation journey, the more one can truly feel the might of a supreme treasure.
If the Tianxuan Sword truly intended to kill Fong Rumo, he couldn’t have lived until now; the current result is likely due to the intentional indulgence of the Tianxuan Sword’s will!
The millennial threat and crisis advanced Fong Rumo on his cultivation journey, and as of now, Fong Rumo might be completely unaware of this.
No longer pondering, currently he has other secret missions to perform.
With only a few years left until the Star Abyss invasion, he needs to quickly sort out some matters on his end.
After handling matters in the Insect Emperor World, next, he had to return to the Nine Provinces.
And returning to the Nine Provinces, borrowing the path through the Soul Race ancestral lands is undoubtedly the most convenient.
Mental Consciousness surged, using the seven-color Divine Lotus to communicate the ancestral land’s will; sensing it alive, Lu Ye darted in the direction of the sensed source.
A day later, in the ancestral land space, Lu Ye suddenly appeared.
Upon his abrupt arrival, he found the current ancestral land to be somewhat different from any other time he’d been here before.
Firstly, the Soul Power within the ancestral land was significantly more concentrated, and the radiance emanating from the numerous five and seven-color Lotus Lands was more dazzling than before.
The descending great force impacting the stellar space hasn’t spared the ancestral land either.
Furthermore, the entire ancestral land seemed incredibly lively.
Previously, when Lu Ye came here, he seldom saw Soul Race tribe members; most were in their Lotus Lands, either cultivating or dormant.
But today was different, the ancestral land space was bustling with groups of Soul Race members flying back and forth everywhere.
As Lu Ye was observing, a Mental Consciousness extended from afar, serving as guidance.
Lu Ye understood and immediately followed this thread of guidance.
An hour later, a seven-color Lotus Land appeared ahead, glowing brilliantly; he sensed numerous powerful entities converging within it, even before moving closer.
Lu Ye couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows, secretly clicking his tongue.
Because from within that Lotus Land, he sensed no less than two to three hundred Sun Blaze entities!
He had heard from Xuyuan before that the Soul Race had two to three hundred Sun Blazes, but ordinarily, they were mostly dormant, except for the elder, who had been vigilant due to being the stellar space pond governor in recent years.
But hearing is one thing; experiencing it firsthand is another.
Looking across the stellar space, it seems unlikely any other force, besides the Soul Race, possesses so many Sun Blazes, undoubtedly related to Soul Race’s approach to the world; this race rarely engages in external conflicts, and because of long-term dormancy, their lifespan is extended, facilitating such abundant accumulation.
"Roar!" A tiger’s roar resounded as the massive silhouette of a White Tiger emerged, charging toward Lu Ye.
On the White Tiger’s back was a petite figure.
Lu Ye laughed heartily, opening his arms wide from afar.
Yiyi leaped up, rushing into his embrace, while Amber swiftly shrank its form, landed on his shoulder, licking his face with its tongue.
Yiyi hugged him tightly as if never wanting to let go; her body remained so petite, unchanged for decades.
After a moment, Yiyi lifted her head, tear-filled eyes looking at him: "They said you went missing, snatched away by a palanquin."
"It’s all fine now; I’ve returned," Lu Ye touched her head and suddenly moved: "Sun Blaze?"
And upon sensing Amber’s aura, it also reached the level of Sun Blaze.
On reflection, such advancement makes sense; last time, both Yiyi and Amber were at the Moon Jade Late Stage level; his disappearance lasting ten or twenty years, within the Soul Race ancestral land, Amber, being a Sacred Beast, naturally had a rapid cultivation speed, and as the leader of minion spirits, Yiyi could benefit from it.
Time flies indeed; when he first encountered them at the Spirit Stream battlefield in the Nine Provinces, everyone was merely at the Spirit Stream Realm; decades later, they have now all reached the state of Sun Blaze.
After exchanging a few words, calming Yiyi’s emotions, Lu Ye only then tugged her small hand, "Let’s go, let’s not keep the elders waiting."
Yiyi sniffled as she followed him silently.
On that seven-color Lotus Land, within a vast Lotus Pond, many lotuses bloomed, with each lotus bearing a seated figure, each figure’s aura deeply profound; Lu Ye felt slightly, even more amazed, these more than two hundred Sun Blazes, half were in the Sun Blaze Late Stage, at least thirty were at Peak Sun Blaze.
The foundation accumulated by the Soul Race over countless years is even more potent than he initially sensed.
