Sage of Humanity-Chapter 1573 - 1571: A Good Show Awaits

A moment later, a battleship shaped like a Tiger Shark swiftly glided through the stellar space. From afar, it looked like a real Tiger Shark, its appearance menacing.

Inside the Tiger Shark battleship, Wuchang and others were visibly excited. Although they didn't know the difference between a battleship and a starboat, they understood its value.

When Lu Ye departed from All Phenomena Ocean, he had purchased a total of thirty Silver Fish starboats and ten Tiger Shark battleships, almost exhausting his resources at that time. What he now left for Wuchang and the others was just a small portion, a compact battleship suitable for three to five people, perfect for Wuchang and his group.

Through Wuchang and the others' widespread communication, even before Lu Ye returned to the Nine Provinces, the news of his safe return had already spread.

Even after being missing for a full six years, the name of Lu Yiye from the Righteous Blood Sect remained as strong as ever. For a cultivator, six years wasn't long. The memories of the Nine Provinces army repelling the Insect Race's Great Secret Realm, and their expedition to the Blood Refinement World, were still vivid. These two significant battles laid the foundation for the current large-scale domain of the Nine Provinces.

If anyone played a decisive role in these two major battles, it was none other than Lu Yiye from the Righteous Blood Sect.

Later, when Unparalleled was beset, it was also Lu Ye who used the red talisman to kill Moon Jade, single-handedly luring away a second Moon Jade, enabling the Nine Provinces Constellation to retreat intact.

Such achievements cannot and dare not be forgotten.

Along with the news of Lu Ye's return, information about All Phenomena Ocean spread, sparking the interest of numerous Nine Provinces Constellations. Upon learning Lu Ye planned to take a team to All Phenomena Ocean this time, everyone was eager and anticipatory.

This led to many Nine Provinces Constellations already heading toward the Nine Provinces, prepared to await Lu Ye's return.

Several days after bidding farewell to Wuchang and the others, Lu Ye suddenly felt a slight warmth on the back of his hand. Understanding the sign, he raised his hand and touched the back of it, and in the next moment, a lively and familiar voice echoed in his mind, "Lu Ye, are you back?"

In a place like this, only Number Nine could contact him. The battlefield marking could be used within the Nine Provinces domain but became useless outside of it.

"I'm back!" Lu Ye responded briefly, "How have you been?"

"I'm doing well; everything's fine. Earlier, I heard you went missing. Where have you been all these years?"

"It's a long story," Lu Ye sighed and casually recounted the incident of being hunted by Tang Jun.

"All Phenomena Ocean, huh..." Number Nine clearly knew about All Phenomena Ocean. After all, some remnants from the pre-Nine Provinces era survived. While current cultivators were unaware of the outside world, Number Nine could glean information from various remnants that Nine Provinces cultivators couldn't, like the doppelganger of the Reincarnation Tree, which Number Nine had always been aware of.

"What's with All Phenomena Ocean?" Lu Ye sensed something odd in Number Nine's tone.

"Nothing, it's a good place."

Number Nine likely hadn't communicated with anyone for a long time. In the entire Nine Provinces, aside from Lu Ye, only the Xianyuan City Lord knew of its existence. Typically, it only offered vague insights to Nine Provinces cultivators and didn't directly communicate with them. In the years when Lu Ye was absent, Number Nine was probably frustrated from lack of interaction. Now that Lu Ye had returned, it seized the opportunity to converse nonstop.

Lu Ye didn't tire of chatting, and as he journeyed, he casually conversed with Number Nine. Time flew by quickly.

Several days later, a domain appeared within sight, and on the starboat, Lu Ye gently exhaled, gazing toward the domain's direction, feeling a subtle sensation of near-home unease.

As if sensing his change in mood, Lih Shang looked in the direction he was gazing and asked, "Is that your homeland?"

Lu Ye nodded, "That's right!"

Lih Shang continued observing but soon noticed something amiss. Lu Ye's homeland was beside another vast domain. Though the two domains weren't directly adjacent, their closeness in the stellar space appeared unusual.

What shocked her more was that the distant domain resembled a woman's body from afar, except the woman seemed to have been decapitated and dismembered...

Lih Shang suddenly recalled a passage recorded in the Soul Race's ancient texts, feeling a chill. If what she saw matched that description, it was indeed frightening.

The starboat soared closer to the Nine Provinces.

Just before entering the Nine Provinces, two figures suddenly appeared ahead. They should be Nine Provinces Constellations preparing to return. Lu Ye's return had been circulating for half a month, leading many Nine Provinces Constellations to head back. These two must have not ventured far from the Nine Provinces, enabling them to return so quickly. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Sensing movement behind them, both paused and turned, seeing a starboat speedily approaching and then stopping in front of them.

Looking up, a familiar face that had been missing for six years came into view.

"Senior Brother Qian, Senior Sister Fan, it's been a while!" Lu Ye greeted with a respectful bow from the starboat.

Currently, there were many Nine Provinces Constellations, though Lu Ye wasn't familiar with most. The two before him, however, were relatively close to him.

Back then, Qian Wudang, the Justice Department Chief of Bingzhou, and Fan Xiangyi, the Chief of Heralds Office, were both somewhat acquainted with Lu Ye. Although he didn't directly work with Fan Xiangyi, his frequent interactions with Qian Wudang led to familiarity; Qian Wudang often visited the Heralds Office.

Judging by their demeanor, it seemed the two were now inseparable.

"Lu Yiye!" Fan Xiangyi's eyes brightened with surprise, "We were just talking about you with old Qian, and here you are back already?"

Qian Wudang also said, "Your speed... is quite fast. Where did you find another starboat?"

Clearly, it was everyone's first time advancing to Constellation, and Lu Ye hadn't advanced much earlier than him. Yet Lu Ye had already acquired a starboat for the Nine Provinces before, and now he got another one. Truly magnificent means.

Lu Ye was amused: "Of course I bought it." What else could he have done, rob one?

"Bought it from the All Phenomena Ocean? How many spirit jades for one?" Qian Wudang looked at the starboat with great interest, silently calculating that if it wasn't too expensive, he would buy one too and explore the stellar space with Fan Xiangyi. How carefree and happy that would be.

"Three hundred thousand spirit jades!"

Qian Wudang's gaze was like it had been stung, and he quickly withdrew it, asking uncertainly, "How much?"

He doubted if there was something wrong with his ears.

"Three hundred thousand!" Lu Ye looked at him calmly.

Qian Wudang looked back at him as if watching a spendthrift, and Fan Xiangyi's expression was also full of shock.

Three hundred thousand spirit jades, that's not thirty pieces! Thinking about how the two of them had searched for spirit jades in the stellar space for so many years, they probably only gathered a few thousand in total. How many years would they need to work hard to get three hundred thousand spirit jades?

"Haha..." Qian Wudang laughed stiffly and nodded, "Not bad, not bad, the younger generation is truly fearsome, the younger generation is truly fearsome!"

His heart was full of murmurs. Is the wealth of the legendary All Phenomena Ocean really so easily gained? He was already interested in that All Phenomena Ocean, and now he was even more eager to go and see it.

Then he changed the topic, "Yiye, when you worked at the Justice Department back then, I treated you well, didn't I?"

Lu Ye immediately became alert: "What does Senior Brother want?"

Could it be he had his eye on this starboat of mine? Although giving away a starboat wouldn't be a big deal, some things fear favoritism. If it spread that he was gifting it, where would he get so many starboats to give away?

Qian Wudang chuckled, "Don't be nervous, as your senior brother, I don't covet anything of yours. But I heard you're taking a group of people to the All Phenomena Ocean, and I'm quite interested in that place. Remember to bring me along when you leave next time!"

Lu Ye immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "That's no problem."

"Then it's settled." Qian Wudang was delighted and then asked, "What kind of place is that All Phenomena Ocean exactly?"

Before Lu Ye could speak, Fan Xiangyi gave him a sidelong look: "Junior Brother Lu has just returned and hasn't even entered the domain yet. When you have time, go visit him, why hold him here for this talk?"

Qian Wudang slapped his forehead: "I wasn't considerate enough. Yiye, you go back first, and I'll come to see you later."

Lu Ye cupped his fists: "Then Senior Brother and Sister, I'll take my leave!"

"Go ahead!" Qian Wudang waved his hand.

Watching Lu Ye's starboat leave, Qian Wudang said with a shake of his head, "Looks like there's a good show to watch."

"What?" Fan Xiangyi was puzzled.

Qian Wudang said, "Didn't you notice there's a girl and a child beside Yiye? In just a few years without seeing him, a child has even been born. Do you think if this news reaches that person, it wouldn't be quite the commotion?"

Fan Xiangyi immediately understood who he was referring to.

In recent years, many Constellations were born in the Nine Provinces, but if one were to ask which Constellation is the most famous, it would undoubtedly be the poison doctor of the Righteous Blood Sect.

Healing cultivators are already rare; among all the factions, the number of healing cultivators is the least, and even fewer can cultivate to Constellation.

Looking at the Nine Provinces, among fifteen hundred Constellations, there are only a few dozen healing cultivators.

The healing cultivator who can advance to Constellation is undoubtedly an expert in medical skills, almost on par with others. Yet, among them is one whose healing methods are unique—while others use medicine, she uses poison.

It is said that the healing process is unbearable to watch. Any cultivator who seeks treatment from her, even if they're a Constellation, endures inhumane torture, leaving them with lifetime shadows.

Yet strangely, the more painful it is during this process, the better the healing effects.

Other healing cultivators may need a month to heal a wound, but she requires no more than ten days to half a month.

The most sensational event was when Long Bai, the City Lord of Ten Thousand Demons City on Bingzhou Plateau, was bitten by an unknown star beast in stellar space and returned poisoned, disgraced.

At that time, Ten Thousand Demons City on Bingzhou Plateau gathered star healing cultivators from all over the Nine Provinces to treat Long Bai, but the results were unsatisfactory. In the end, it was this poison doctor who stepped in, and in just three days, Long Bai was saved.
