Sage of Humanity-Chapter 1586 - 1584: The Three Realms Fleet Advances

Several hundred years have passed since Luan Xiao'e and Wu Zhuo explored the geomagnetic turbulence zone, and it seems natural for certain things to change over time.

Luan Xiao'e said, "Although it was a long time ago that Fellow Daoist Wu and I explored the geomagnetic turbulence zone, cultivators from our two domains have continued to enter over the years. If there really was a change, we would have known, and a perilous land like the geomagnetic turbulence zone, its existence might be hundreds of thousands or even millions of years, how could it change in mere hundreds of years?"

Lu Ye said, "But when I returned, I really didn't encounter much risk." He was only swept into the stellar space geomagnetic storm once and eventually escaped.

Thinking of this, he suddenly recalled something: "Do you know about a massive azure bird there?"

Luan Xiao'e was puzzled: "What azure bird?"

Wu Zhuo looked at him cluelessly, obviously never seeing or hearing of it.

Lu Ye then described the azure bird, causing both Luan Xiao'e and Wu Zhuo to show solemn expressions. Undoubtedly, such a gigantic creature, its terrifying power was something they couldn't contend against. The geomagnetic turbulence zone was already dangerous, and now with such a massive azure bird, it undoubtedly became even more deadly.

Lu Ye continued, "I don't know the origin of the azure bird, but it seems very interested in stellar space geomagnetic storms, able to devour them, seemingly feeding on them!"

Luan Xiao'e's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "Fellow Daoist Lu, you're saying that because the azure bird has devoured a lot of stellar space geomagnetic storms, the danger level of the geomagnetic turbulence zone has weakened?"

Lu Ye nodded.

"That's indeed possible. If such a terrifying creature is devouring the stellar space geomagnetic storms, it might alter the accumulated dangers of countless ages."

Wu Zhuo said, "Even if the geomagnetic turbulence zone is no longer that dangerous, the azure bird is still something we cannot contend with." He hoped the massive azure bird wouldn't venture into the Jade Conch Galaxy; such a creature could bring catastrophic disaster with a single flap of its wings.

"There's no need to worry about the bird; it doesn't seem to have any malice towards living beings. On the way back, I even caught a ride on it."

"Caught a ride..." Luan Xiao'e and Wu Zhuo looked at Lu Ye, dumbfounded, their minds conjuring an unbelievable image but unsure if it was truly as they imagined.

Lu Ye said, "No matter what Qingli Dao World and Jade Conch World decide, the 300 Constellations of Nine Heavens are heading to the All Phenomena Ocean."

Luan Xiao'e and Wu Zhuo exchanged a glance and fell silent.

After a while, Wu Zhuo said, "Fellow Daoist Lu, don't rush. This matter requires some consideration between Fellow Daoist Luan and myself."

Lu Ye nodded, "I'll await your good news!"

Lu Ye temporarily stayed at the Shenwu Temple; the Nine Provinces fleet would take at least half a month to arrive, so there was no urgency.

Deriving Spirit Patterns, refining spirit jade for cultivation, or entering the azure hall within the barghest to spar with the Praying Mantis, time passed swiftly.

There was no news from Wu Zhuo and Luan Xiao'e, leaving Lu Ye wondering how their deliberations were going.

However, as Lu Ye said, regardless of their decision, the Nine Provinces fleet was surely headed to the All Phenomena Ocean, not turning back once the bow was drawn.

One day, while Lu Ye was cultivating, an audio talisman caught his attention. After investigating, he quickly stood up and rushed outside, soaring into the sky.

The Nine Provinces fleet had arrived at the Qingli Dao World and was currently awaiting outside the domain.

Lu Ye hurried over, boarded the lead starboat, and met the sect master among others.

The sect master asked, "How are things here?"

Lu Ye said, "The two Moon Jade cultivators from Qingli Dao World and Jade Conch World have not decided whether to go along. They have concerns about a perilous land on the way."

This was to be expected; their caution was due to their responsibilities, so it was not to be criticized. It's often said that the path of good things is never smooth.

Wuchang said, "If they don't go, we'll go ourselves. It's not necessary to go with them."

Lu Ye said, "Though that may be the case, we may need the Moon Jade's contributions once we reach the All Phenomena Ocean. It would be best if they could go; if not, we can't force them. I'll go back and check; it's about time for a decision."

As he said this, before Lu Ye could return to Qingli Dao World, a powerful aura rapidly approached from the distant stellar space.

Lu Ye turned to look, finding the aura familiar. He quickly realized it was Luan Xiao'e's aura.

He immediately understood why Wu Zhuo and Luan Xiao'e hadn't responded for half a month—Luan Xiao'e had personally gone to investigate the geomagnetic turbulence zone.

Now that Luan Xiao'e had returned, she had evidently completed her investigation; as expected of a Moon Jade Late Stage cultivator, her speed was indeed remarkable.

Soon, Luan Xiao'e's figure appeared before the starboat, glancing at the Nine Provinces fleet with surprise. The fleet's scale was impressive: ten identical starboats, clearly of premium quality, along with five escort battleships of fierce design.

A quick mental consciousness scan verified Lu Ye's statement; indeed, the Constellations were all at the Constellation Early Stage, with Lu Ye alone at the Late Stage, standing out prominently.

"Fellow Daoist Luan!" Lu Ye greeted with a bow.

Luan Xiao'e nodded slightly, "I've visited the geomagnetic turbulence zone. There have indeed been significant changes, it's not as perilous as it used to be. Time was tight, and I couldn't delve too deeply, but I didn't see the azure bird you mentioned."

Lu Ye asked, "Then what does Fellow Daoist Luan mean?"

Luan Xiao'e replied, "Given the current condition of the geomagnetic turbulence zone, crossing it shouldn't be much of a problem!"

"That's excellent news!" Lu Ye showed a delighted expression.

"Please wait a moment, Fellow Daoist, I'll gather my people and notify Fellow Daoist Wu Zhuo," Luan Xiao'e spoke, then swiftly returned to the Qingli Dao World.

After she left, the sect master exhaled slowly, "This one is Moon Jade, isn't she?"

"Luan Xiao'e of the Jade Conch World, Late Stage Moon Jade cultivation," Lu Ye explained.

Jian Guhong's expression was stern, "Deeply profound, indeed makes one feel as if gazing up at a towering mountain!" Up until now, the only Moon Jade they had encountered was Qin Yuandai from the Qingli Dao World. Unfortunately, that old woman was obliterated by Lu Ye with a single red talisman, so they never truly felt the formidable power of Moon Jade until faced with Luan Xiao'e, thus recognizing the immense differences between them.

Lu Ye chuckled, "There's always a chance. Our Nine Provinces is not inferior to others, we've just started a bit late. In the future, there will be many Moon Jades, many Sun Blazes, and one day, the name of Nine Provinces will resonate across the stellar space. The All Phenomena Ocean... is merely a stepping stone for us!"

Everyone felt a surge of indescribable emotions, eager to advance straight to All Phenomena Ocean with zeal.

This time, Lu Ye didn't wait long—only one hour later, six starboats emerged from the Qingli Dao World.

But compared to the starboats of Nine Provinces, these six starboats had different designs. By contrast, the fleet of Nine Provinces resembled a regular army, whereas those from Qingli Dao World and Jade Conch World seemed like a motley crew.

Six starboats, three from each realm.

Typically, a hundred people from each realm would suffice with one large starboat. However, while navigating stellar space, people shouldn't be too clustered together; dispersing personnel can sometimes avoid unpredictable danger.

This is also why Nine Provinces deployed ten starboats—otherwise, for three hundred people, two starboats would suffice.

The fleet size gathered to sixteen starboats and five battleships.

Wu Zhuo came to send them off, earnestly advising the cultivators from his domain, who nodded repeatedly.

Lu Ye advised his group of cultivators for a while, then flew to the starboat where Luan Xiao'e was, speaking, "Fellow Daoist Luan, during this journey, you are the strongest among us, so I must ask you to lead, with cultivators from all Three Worlds following your command!"

A collaboration of the Three Worlds needs a leader, and apart from the Late Stage Moon Jade Luan Xiao'e, there was no other choice. Lu Ye didn't desire competition with her, naturally giving her due respect, especially considering any potential dangers they might face, her assistance would be crucial.

Luan Xiao'e was undoubtedly satisfied with Lu Ye's conduct. In fact, Lu Ye had always been quite cooperative and aligned with her perspectives, working with someone like this was undoubtedly a stress-free affair—without much scheming.

She immediately nodded, "Then I shall take the lead, but Fellow Daoist, being more familiar with the route, I would like you to assist by my side. That way, if I have any doubts, I can readily seek your advice."

"Of course," Lu Ye nodded, not refusing.

Taking out an audio talisman, he sent messages for the Nine Provinces' fleet to follow Luan Xiao'e's command.

With all preparations complete, the fleet was ready to depart.

Upon Luan Xiao'e's order, the starboat she was on sped into the depths of stellar space first, followed closely by the other fifteen starboats at set intervals.

The five Tiger Shark battleships patrolled the left and right sides of stellar space.

On the starboat, Luan Xiao'e sensed the surroundings with her Mental Consciousness, feeling slightly surprised, noticing that the overall coordination of cultivators from the Nine Heavens World was substantially better than those from Jade Conch and Qingli Dao Worlds. She didn't have to give additional directives—the Nine Heavens World's starboats were already arranged most efficiently, each starboat closely interconnected with the others, showcasing a streamlined style.

Catching interest, wondering how cultivators from this newly elevated large domain were nurtured, which seemed slightly different from those of Jade Conch and Qingli Dao Worlds.

Outside Qingli Dao World, Wu Zhuo watched the fleet vanish into stellar space, surrounded by many envious cultivators from Qingli Dao World.

This time, only a hundred people from Qingli Dao World went to All Phenomena Ocean, leaving many unselected and naturally disappointed.

Wu Zhuo understood their sentiments, thus admonished, "No matter where you are, as a cultivator, diligent cultivation is the essential path. Instead of envying others, focus on improving yourself. If all goes well, this is just the beginning, with many opportunities in the future!"

A group of Qingli Dao World's cultivators eagerly agreed.

Wu Zhuo added, "I'll take a trip to Jade Conch, you all must diligently guard the domain." 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

The matter of the Insect Path needs Jade Conch to handle; at the very least, a Moon Jade governor should be stationed there. In case the Insect Path stabilizes someday, the home galaxy will officially open a link with All Phenomena Ocean. That will be the day our home galaxy truly takes flight.
