Sage of Humanity-Chapter 1524 - 1522: Changyun Galaxy

Lu Ye dashed out of the mountain cave.

Tang Jun was waiting outside, his expression solemn. Seeing him, he greeted, "Let's go."

Summoning a starboat, Lu Ye stepped on board, and Tang Jun piloted it to swiftly exit the All Phenomena Ocean, flying in a certain direction.

After flying for over half a month, the stellar space suddenly became lively, with a large number of cultivators converging in the same direction, which was exactly where Tang Jun and Lu Ye were headed.

"What's happening?" Lu Ye asked curiously as he looked around.

Tang Jun shook his head, "Not sure, but it's definitely not something bad."

Cultivators are a bunch that never miss a chance for profit; being able to attract such a large group must mean there's something beneficial.

The further they ventured, the livelier it became ahead, as more and more cultivators seemed to appear out of nowhere.

After a few more days, an entrance to an Insect Path appeared ahead.

From a distance, they saw a long queue in front of the Insect Path, and many cultivators were rushing out from it, entering the All Phenomena Galaxy.

Lu Ye furrowed his brows, "Old Tang, is that the Insect Path leading to the Changyun Galaxy?"

According to the star map given by the Reincarnation Tree, if he wanted to return to the Nine Provinces from the All Phenomena Galaxy, he needed to pass through two star systems, the first being the Changyun Galaxy.

The Changyun Galaxy is connected to the All Phenomena Galaxy by an Insect Path, making travel convenient.

However, each star system's Insect Path is guarded by powerful figures from the home galaxy, and without connections, it's not easy to pass freely. Lu Ye could only rely on Tang Jun to find a way.

Fortunately, the Changyun Galaxy has cooperation with Unparalleled Island; there are two shops from the Changyun Galaxy on the island. Tang Jun had some interaction with Moon Jade from Changyun, making it easy for Lu Ye to enter the Changyun Galaxy.

But now it seems that Lu Ye is not the only one wanting to enter the Changyun Galaxy; many others want to enter too. Yet Moon Jade, who guards the Insect Path entrance to the Changyun Galaxy, seems not to be stopping it...

This is quite peculiar.

Getting closer, they found out that those wanting to enter the Changyun Galaxy had to pay a fee in spirit jade, and the price wasn't cheap — each person needed to pay five thousand spirit jade!

For an average Constellation, five thousand spirit jade is quite a fortune. Lu Ye had struggled to catch a White Spirit, earning only around three to four thousand spirit jade.

Tang Jun docked the starboat and led Lu Ye straight to a Moon Jade by the Insect Path.

"Brother Tang!" The Moon Jade saw Tang Jun and promptly clasped his hands.

Tang Jun returned the gesture, then approached the Moon Jade, curiously asking, "Brother Zhang, what's going on? Why are so many people trying to enter your Changyun Galaxy?"

The Moon Jade surnamed Zhang chuckled, "Brother Tang may not know, but the Great Wheel of Fortune suddenly descended upon our Changyun Galaxy. Once the news spread, it turned into this."

Tang Jun was taken aback, "The Great Wheel of Fortune?" He couldn't help but sigh, "Your galaxy is truly blessed; such a divine object has descended, surely bringing you wealth!"

The Moon Jade surnamed Zhang laughed heartily, "Luck is luck; we didn't expect such a thing to happen. With so many Fellow Daoists eager to come, we can't just stop them. We can only collect some passage fees and let them seek their fortune."

While speaking, he looked at Lu Ye standing beside Tang Jun, "Is this Brother Tang's young relative?"

Tang Jun nodded, "An unremarkable nephew, wanting to gain some experience. Somehow, he desires to visit your Changyun Galaxy. But rest assured, Brother Zhang, this lad, though his strength is lacking, is not a troublemaker and won't embarrass your galaxy."

Lu Ye remained composed, stepped forward, and greeted, "Greetings, Senior Zhang!"

The Moon Jade surnamed Zhang smiled slightly, "Since he is Brother Tang's acquaintance, the passage fee is waived. You may enter the Changyun Galaxy with this token; if anyone questions your origins, simply present this."

With that, he handed Lu Ye a token.

Lu Ye thanked him and took it.

The Moon Jade surnamed Zhang added, "Since you have the chance, you might as well try your luck at the Great Wheel of Fortune; something good might happen."

Tang Jun clasped his hands, "I shall escort him there first; we won't disturb you further."

"Please proceed, Brother Tang!" The Moon Jade surnamed Zhang gestured.

Walking to the side, Tang Jun transmitted, "You lucky kid, you stumbled upon the Great Wheel of Fortune. If I had known, I wouldn't have needed this favor." He paused briefly, "Do you know what the Great Wheel of Fortune is?"

"I've heard of it." Lu Ye nodded.

He had come across records about this in Xiyuan Pavilion of the Dwarf Race, and found it interesting, leaving a deep impression.

Strictly speaking, the Great Wheel of Fortune is a cosmic treasure, but unlike most cosmic treasures, this thing does not stay in one place; it occasionally hides and occasionally appears, with its location and time completely unpredictable.

Here in the All Phenomena Ocean, many Insect Paths connect major galaxies, so often when the Great Wheel of Fortune appears, the cultivators of the All Phenomena Ocean can receive the message immediately and rush over.

And the galaxy where the Great Wheel of Fortune manifests will typically adopt the same approach as the Changyun Galaxy this time, not obstructing cultivators from entering. Because if one truly blocks them, it will incur public fury, so instead they charge a certain amount of spirit jade as a fee, allowing them to earn quite a bit of spirit jade.

Generally speaking, the appearance of the Great Wheel of Fortune can earn a galaxy at least several billion spirit jades, which is a sizeable number anywhere.

The word "Fortune" in the Great Wheel of Fortune is aptly derived from this, as its appearance brings fortune to the galaxy where it manifests.

However, if cultivators get involved, it may not only bring fortune but possibly misfortune...

It entirely depends on luck, unpredictable by anyone.

"Since you know, I won't say much more. This matter is worth participating in; it won't take too much time anyway," Tang Jun said.

"Understood." Lu Ye nodded, "Then I'll be off, take care, old friend."

"Go!" Tang Jun waved his hand. He also wanted to try his luck with the Great Wheel of Fortune, but the people from Changyun Galaxy evidently wouldn't just let a Moon Jade enter their home galaxy casually. Otherwise, if they open this door, lots of Moon Jade might come, and Changyun Galaxy could no longer control the situation. So they can only allow Constellations to enter.

Lu Ye turned and headed towards the Insect Path, not needing to queue. The Insect Path was large, with people coming and going; he only needed to enter from a place where no one was around.

Soundless and silent, the surrounding scenery became bizarre and fantastic. When Lu Ye stood firm again, he had arrived at the Changyun Galaxy.

There were also Moon Jade ranked Zhang of Changyun here waiting, so though many cultivators came, no one dared to cause trouble.

There's no need to ask where the Great Wheel of Fortune is; simply follow the direction of the crowd.

Lu Ye released his starboat and flew forward with the crowd. Lih Shang quietly released his Soul Possession state, standing beside him. Though many cultivators were nearby, all were Constellation-ranked, avoiding discovery.

Everyone eagerly headed in one direction, the journey peaceful.

After just five days, a massive copper disc suddenly appeared ahead, standing in the stellar space. The copper disc was grand and ancient, seemingly battered, as though it had endured the bright splendor of warfare. It's hard to imagine what cruel battles this cosmic treasure had experienced to become like this.

Some Sun Blaze experts had tried to tame it, but throughout history, no Sun Blaze had ever succeeded. Ultimately, no matter how tattered it appears, a cosmic treasure remains a cosmic treasure, not easily subdued.

A lot of cultivators gathered around the copper disc, mostly Constellations, along with the presence of several Moon Jade ranked Zhang strong scents, positioned on four sides, presumably Moon Jade ranked Zhang from Changyun Galaxy stationed here.

Continuously, cultivators from all directions vanished into the copper disc and returned appearing.

Some wore smiles, clearly having gained something from the copper disc, while others shook their heads in regret, likely having found nothing.

That was considered fortunate. When Lu Ye arrived, he saw a cultivator emerging from the copper disc, completely charred, his expression full of terror, unclear about his experience inside.

Soon after, a thunderous boom sounded, and a purple Thunderbolt manifested above the cultivator's head, swiftly striking down.

The cultivator, at Constellation Late Stage, shouted loudly and activated a protective spirit treasure overhead. Yet that single strike from the purple Thunderbolt shattered the protective spirit treasure.

Another thunderous boom echoed, and another purple Thunderbolt fell. The cultivator's face changed dramatically, hurriedly rushing towards the nearby direction where a Moon Jade was located, shouting, "Senior save me!"

The Moon Jade merely watched coldly, unmoved.

The purple Thunderbolt struck, and the cultivator's form trembled, becoming even more ravaged. He spat blood, appearing extremely weakened.

Though not dead, the injuries were evidently severe, unclear how long recovery might take.

Without staying any longer, he strained himself to leave at once, quickly vanishing from sight.

The nearby cultivators watched, their hearts touched...

Entering the Great Wheel of Fortune, it's not about strength but luck. Good luck may yield benefits inside, but bad luck, like the fate of the previous person, might be considered fortunate; one might even lose one's life.

As for what benefits the Great Wheel of Fortune holds inside...no one knows, because those who receive benefits conceal them and don't let others see.

Yet it's said some have found a magic treasure perfectly suited for them inside.

Lu Ye didn't hope for too great a benefit; if he could obtain a Phoenix Sky Blue Crystal, it would be worthwhile. Last time Ban Ci invited him to accompany him to a secret place, promising a Phoenix Sky Blue Crystal as reward, but after an unexpected mishap, nothing transpired, and Lu Ye hadn't seen Ban Ci since.

Observing around for a while, Lu Ye noticed quite a few unlucky individuals, some struck by lightning, some burned by fire, and others emerging engulfed in a cloud of black smoke, appearing deeply unlucky without knowing what they encountered.
