Sage of Humanity-Chapter 1534 - 1532: Planet Tengu

Lih Shang smiled happily, but Lu Ye couldn't be bothered to pay her any attention. However, come to think of it, this was the first time he saw this woman smile after spending so much time with her.

The starboat continued forward, occasionally overtaking some cultivators who were also heading toward the destination. They appeared to be those summoned by Luo Shenzhi, preparing to head to Planet Tengu.

Lu Ye sensed the strength of the four galaxies, as even such a barren area had so many Constellations, let alone their home planet.

He did not know the exact location of Planet Tengu, but Duu Lang did. Following Duu Lang's guidance, they reached the location of Planet Tengu in just over ten days.

From a distance, it appeared to be a desolate planet, but its shape was quite distinctive, not the usual spherical form seen in stellar space. From certain angles, it resembled a giant dog lying horizontally in the stellar space.

It looked very much like those hyena star beasts that attacked Duu Lang earlier.

Lu Ye vaguely guessed that this was probably the origin of the name of Planet Tengu.

They did not approach Planet Tengu, as many cultivators were staying in the Void outside Planet Tengu. Various starboats gathered here, and there were no less than three hundred, which was quite a spectacle.

More cultivators were on their way here, as there were a few days left until the time Luo Shenzhi had mentioned. Although the cultivators here had assembled, there was no substantial action yet.

Lu Ye maneuvered the starboat to find a relatively spacious spot to dock and looked around.

In terms of starboat performance, his starboat should be considered quite good here. However, when purchasing the starboat earlier, Lu Ye had considered certain issues, so his starboat appeared very plain on the outside and did not reveal its quality, thus not attracting attention.

Lu Ye faintly felt a gaze directed at him, and he followed it to see a cultivator named Xu Dingyang.

The other was clearly surprised to see that Duu Lang was still alive, but only glanced briefly before withdrawing his gaze.

At this moment, few figures gathered around Xu Dingyang, seemingly all cultivators from the Indeterminate World. Xu Dingyang, being a descendant of Sun Blaze, should have a high status in the Indeterminate World.

"Which one is Luo Shenzhi?" Lu Ye asked.

Duu Lang pointed in a direction and said, "That's him!"

Following Duu Lang's direction, Lu Ye saw a young man dressed in luxurious clothing, extremely handsome, standing on the deck of a starboat, chatting and laughing with the surrounding cultivators, with a relaxed manner.

Reputed as the strongest Constellation in the four galaxies, Luo Shenzhi did not exude an overbearing aura; instead, he appeared gentle.

The starboat should be his, and the cultivators gathered around him had impressive cultivation levels, most of them at the Constellation Late Stage. However, Lu Ye could tell that, despite their laughter and chat with Luo Shenzhi, there was an inexplicable sense of caution in their expressions.

Perhaps feeling Lu Ye's gaze, Luo Shenzhi casually glanced over, his gaze pausing on Lu Ye for a moment, and he nodded slightly in acknowledgement.

Lu Ye also nodded, returning the gesture.

Unexpectedly, Luo Shenzhi flew directly from his starboat, landing near Lu Ye's starboat, smiling warmly: "Fellow Daoist, you seem unfamiliar. May I know which domain you are from?"

Lu Ye didn't bat an eye: "Red Sky!"

Luo Shenzhi shook his head gently: "No, there is no one like you in Red Sky."

Lu Ye replied coolly: "You are from the Daluo World, far away from my Red Sky. How can you be so familiar with every cultivator from Red Sky?"

As soon as he finished speaking, before Luo Shenzhi could react, a cultivator shouted: "Presumptuous! Whatever Young Master Luo asks, you answer straightforwardly. No need to say more than necessary."

The cultivator was among those who had been chatting with Luo Shenzhi earlier, evidently looking to curry favor with him.

Luo Shenzhi smiled gently: "Naturally, I cannot know every cultivator from Red Sky. I am only interested in strong ones, and I recognize most of the Constellation Realm powerhouses in the four galaxies, yet I have not met you, Fellow Daoist."

Lu Ye was puzzled. He was standing quietly here, not exerting his own aura, so why did Luo Shenzhi consider him a powerhouse? Continuing with casual fabrication, he said: "I have been in retreat for many years with rare outings."

Luo Shenzhi nodded: "That seems about right. Since Fellow Daoist has come, we will need your assistance later. This task will not be easy to solve."

After a brief conversation, Luo Shenzhi quickly departed again.

Yet, his previous words conveyed information that led many to secretly assess Lu Ye, as Luo Shenzhi was said to possess a pair of perceptive eyes and mysterious abilities. If he claimed Lu Ye was a powerhouse, it was likely accurate.

Unfortunately, those evaluating Lu Ye found nothing remarkable.

Time passed slowly, and more and more people arrived, piloting their starboats.

By the time the month-long period ended, the number of cultivators gathered here had exceeded a thousand. This showed the deep foundation of the four galaxies. Most of the cultivators were combat cultivators like Lu Ye had encountered before, with a few from other sects who had come along to assist them.

Luo Shenzhi wasted no time and leapt into action, speaking slowly: "Fellow Daoists, you have all answered the call to come here for that opportunity. However, to seize that opportunity, there is a major challenge ahead." He pointed to Planet Tengu behind him and continued, "Everyone is surely aware of the situation on Planet Tengu—it's a nest of star beasts. Not only are there Constellation star beasts as numerous as cattle, but there are also two Moon Jade star beasts. To enter Planet Tengu, we must first unite and deal with those two Moon Jade star beasts."

If it weren't for those two Moon Jade star beasts, Luo Shenzhi wouldn't have gathered so many cultivators. When he first confirmed the opportunity was on Planet Tengu, he would have brought people to acquire it immediately.

But precisely because of the two Moon Jade star beasts, Luo Shenzhi had no choice but to gather forces to deal with them together.

Someone shouted, "We are all gathered here by Young Master Luo, so feel free to give your orders, and we will act accordingly!"

Many others immediately echoed loudly.

No one who came here is a fool; they naturally know that this situation indeed requires someone to lead. The summons were sent by Luo Shenzhi, who is reputed to be the strongest Constellation in these four galaxies. It's safe to say that only he is qualified to preside here—anyone else would struggle to gain the people's confidence.

Luo Shenzhi took it upon himself: "In that case, I will make a small effort. However, let me make this clear: before dealing with the two Moon Jade star beasts, if anyone retreats in the face of battle or seizes the chance to harm their enemies, then you will be opposing me, Luo Shenzhi. If this leads to failure, I will hunt you down, no matter the ends of the earth!"

The crowd once again echoed, expressing their absolute willingness to follow orders.

Luo Shenzhi immediately began allocating tasks. He seemed to have a deep understanding of the cultivators in the four galaxies. Even if he didn't know everyone, he was well aware of many in the Constellation Late Stage, calling them forward to assign them various tasks.

With so many people from different star systems gathered, dealing with the two Moon Jade star beasts wasn't difficult—after all, there's strength in numbers. However, Planet Tengu wasn't only home to two Moon Jade beasts; it was also teeming with many Constellation star beasts, requiring numerous forces to handle.

Luo Shenzhi organized everything methodically, demonstrating his exceptional ability and meticulous thinking.

Everyone went about their tasks as ordered.

Lu Ye, on the other hand, had not been assigned anything and was ready to enjoy some leisure when he saw Luo Shenzhi looking his way: "Fellow Daoist, when the time comes, please team up with me to slay the Moon Jade star beast!"

Hearing this, Lu Ye nodded slightly: "No problem!"

Seeing Lu Ye's calm demeanor, Luo Shenzhi became even more convinced of his strong prowess.

Once the arrangements were settled, the operation commenced, with a dozen teams heading towards Planet Tengu from different directions, each led by a Constellation Late Stage cultivator.

The environment of the desolate planet was extremely harsh, with clouds rolling below and sandstorms raging. The cultivators from the dozen or so teams entered Planet Tengu and soon disappeared from sight. Even with Lu Ye's full ocular power, he couldn't discern what was happening inside.

However, it wasn't long before those cultivators flew back out from different directions, with a swarm of star beasts in hot pursuit.

The star beasts looked like the hyena star beasts Lu Ye had encountered before, suggesting that this desolate planet was indeed their home nest.

Most of the teams were being chased by numerous Constellation star beasts. Despite the chaotic pursuit, they weren't in grave danger. These teams fled while retaliating, infuriating the star beasts and luring them into pre-arranged ambushes.

However, two of the teams found themselves in dire circumstances, as they were pursued by the two Moon Jade star beasts.

Judging by the aura alone, these were mid-stage Moon Jade star beasts, their bodies dozens of times larger than normal hyena star beasts, resembling ferocious giant beasts.

During the retreat, unlucky cultivators constantly fell victim, caught up by the Moon Jade star beasts and bitten down. No matter how they counterattacked, it was impossible to stop them, resulting in blood scattering across the sky.

The terrifying might of the Moon Jade star beasts made even seasoned Constellation cultivators' hair stand on end.

It truly was bad luck for those two teams of cultivators to be pursued by the Moon Jade star beasts...

Lu Ye stood beside Luo Shenzhi, looking calmly at a Moon Jade star beast approaching them.

Lih Shang hadn't come. She remained on the starboat taking care of an unconscious young girl, so she couldn't possess him for this battle.

However, Lu Ye didn't need to face the Moon Jade star beast alone, so he wasn't particularly worried.

If not for the presence of so many people, he would have liked to test the power of Silver Coin. Although it had absorbed three million spirit jades, some things remain unknown until tried.

Those ambushing the Moon Jade star beast were hiding within a concealed big array, which an array cultivator had set up earlier, so there was little risk of being discovered by the star beast. Additionally, star beasts generally have lower spiritual intelligence; otherwise, they wouldn't be so easily lured out.
