Sage of Humanity-Chapter 1589 - 1587: Scattered

The Talent Tree bestowed its powers, enabling spirit force to flow unhindered within, yet if Lu Ye continued to be swept along with the tide like this, the probability of finding the Tiger Shark battleship that had been swept in was slim, because everyone was spinning towards the same direction at the same speed.

To find the Tiger Shark battleship, he must accelerate beyond the spinning speed of the geomagnetic storm.

With this thought, Lu Ye fiercely pushed the spirit force, swiftly charging in the direction of the storm's rotation.

From afar, this stellar space geomagnetic storm appeared like a colossal tornado, engulfing a vast stretch of the stellar space; Lu Ye couldn't pinpoint the exact location of the Tiger Shark battleship at this moment, as Mental Consciousness was utterly scrambled in such a place, even the visibility was severely limited.

Lu Ye could only resort to the most cumbersome method, spiraling upwards in the direction of the tornado's rotation, meticulously searching step by step.

He needn't worry much about colliding with any meteors now, because from Lu Ye's perspective, he was chasing those rapidly spinning meteors, so as long as he was cautious, there wouldn't be much harm.

The tornado-like geomagnetic storm was wider at the top and narrower at the bottom; Lu Ye expanded his search range continuously but found nothing, his heart secretly anxious, even though the Tiger Shark battleship was of good quality, it wouldn't withstand long-term turbulence in such a place—the longer it stayed, the more likely it would get damaged.

Losing a Tiger Shark didn't mean much, but without the Tiger Shark for protection, the three cultivators would probably face dire circumstances.

An hour, two hours, nearly up to four hours of searching, Lu Ye himself was dizzy from all the rotating and didn't know how far he had been swept by the stellar space geomagnetic storm.

Just when he thought Wan Guliu and others were probably in grave danger, his eyes suddenly focused on a familiar object flashing briefly, among the many stellar debris swept along in one direction.

Lu Ye quickly roused his spirit, swiftly darting towards that direction. Upon arrival, he indeed spotted a tattered Tiger Shark battleship.

The battleship originally had a decent protective array, which theoretically should withstand the collisions from stellar debris during a sweep. Yet in this stellar space geomagnetic storm, even the spirit force in cultivators was prohibited, not to mention the protective array of the Tiger Shark battleship.

The array couldn't be activated at all.

At this moment, this battleship worth a full fifty thousand spirit jade was nearly wrecked, scarred all over with holes throughout the ship body.

Lu Ye hurried to the side of the Tiger Shark battleship, and sensing closely, he immediately detected three faint life auras inside, and his heart slightly relaxed.

Alive!

It seemed the Tiger Shark battleship provided them some protection, or else, if their bodies were swept in, they wouldn't have survived.

Though the three inside were still alive, their condition was evidently not good. Lu Ye pressed against the Tiger Shark battleship, peeked inside through a fist-sized hole, only to find the three people inside had already fallen into unconsciousness, and the cabin echoed a stench of blood, apparently all were severely injured.

Without spirit force to control, what cultivators had to rely on was merely their physical bodies. None of the three cultivators aboard this battleship were physique cultivators distinguished for physical strength. As the battleship kept tumbling and striking, their condition worsened.

Lu Ye adhered his entire body to the wreckage of the battleship, took a look around, then crawled to where the dragon bones were, and grabbed it, attempting to pull the battleship outward.

Entering alone was easy, but bringing out a whole battleship was hard; after trying it out, Lu Ye realized this was nearly an impossible task.

As a thought emerged, the Dragon Throne was already summoned, a baby-head-sized sphere burst open, scattered dragon scales covered over Lu Ye's body, and in the blink of an eye, a three-meter-tall crimson figure stood firmly beside the battleship.

Lu Ye felt invisible needles piercing into his body, all his foundations rapidly consumed by the Dragon Throne, grabbing the battleship's dragon bones with all his might, striving towards one direction.

The resistance was enormous, meteors big and small crashed against the Dragon Throne, although Lu Ye wasn't much harmed, the battleship he held was further wrecked by the collisions.

If alone, he could forcefully rush out like this, but now he had to ensure the safety of the three inside the battleship as well.

Lu Ye suspected whether the battleship would be completely wrecked before he could drag it out, if so, then the unconscious three inside were doomed.

Forcing out in such a way proved fruitless, he had to follow the geomagnetic storm's sweeping direction.

Lu Ye immediately altered his approach, swiftly moving along the sweeping direction of the geomagnetic storm once more, his speed increasing rapidly.

But this time, he didn't spiral upwards anymore, he just kept spinning along one direction.

Until a certain moment, when the speed reached a certain point, Lu Ye barely exerted force, he felt himself and the battleship being thrown out of the stellar space geomagnetic storm together.

The invisible force field surrounding him vanished, along with the encompassing force.

Looking back, Lu Ye saw the gigantic tornado swiftly receding, he involuntarily let out a long breath.

Towing the damaged battleship, he flew forward a bit more, then stopped, retracted the Dragon Throne, opened the hatch, and walked into the battleship.

The smell of blood inside was intense, and three cultivators from different domains were laying or lying in various strange positions all around. Lu Ye hurried forward to investigate.

The three weren't dead, but their injuries were quite severe, and it looked like they'd need some time to recuperate. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Lu Ye fed each of them a recovery elixir pill before he began to check the condition of the battleship.

The situation wasn't great; most of the battleship's functions were currently ineffective. Given the damage, it was really difficult to maintain its initial functionality.

Luckily, the battleship was still navigable, though the speed couldn't be increased much. Lu Ye guessed it might be related to some damage in the Array, something he hadn't researched much and didn't know how to repair.

The people were rescued, and now the task was to quickly reunite with the fleet.

Checking the audio talisman and attempting to transmit a message, he found the communication wouldn't go through. The only possibility was that they were too far apart, beyond the range the audio talisman could reach.

The speed of the stellar space geomagnetic storm was fast. He was delayed inside for more than four hours, swept away for such a long time, surely far from the fleet's position.

After identifying the surrounding stellar space, Lu Ye didn't find anything specific. Although he had the route given by the Reincarnation Tree, it was just a path and didn't include details of the geomagnetic turbulence zone. The details of the constellations near the route he could compare to the star map to identify, but beyond its scope, he couldn't, so he wasn't sure of the specific location here.

He could only move in the opposite direction of the storm's sweeping, hoping to encounter the fleet again.

With the battered Tiger Shark battleship being of little use, the speed was too slow. Lu Ye intended to collect it, considering it was worth fifty thousand spirit jade, bringing it back to All Phenomena Ocean for repairs it might still be usable.

Who knew some damaged Array prevented the battleship from shrinking. Although the Tiger Shark battleship was a small one, that was relative. Such an item couldn't be contained in a storage ring.

With no other choice, Lu Ye had to reluctantly abandon it, summoned his own starboat, moved the unconscious three onto it, and navigated forward.

Fortunately, there were only three people; otherwise, his starboat couldn't fit them.

Originally, he thought moving forward would lead him to the fleet or searchers looking for him, but after several days of travel, he saw no living creature!

Lu Ye knew the fleet wouldn't give up on him, would surely send out people to search, his not encountering them suggested the directions weren't aligned.

The directions in stellar space are three-dimensional, radiating at all angles, often causing situations where a small discrepancy leads to major errors.

Lu Ye estimated he missed the fleet's searching direction!

He wasn't anxious, knowing the fleet wouldn't stop searching, and if he just found the correct path and continued, he'd certainly meet the fleet.

With this thought, Lu Ye both navigated the starboat observing the surrounding constellations to ensure he returned to the correct path soon, and had Wan Guliu and others continuously try sending signals to see if they could reach the fleet.

Wan Guliu and the others awoke gradually these days, finding themselves alive, each one was pleasantly surprised, for at that time they'd resigned themselves to die. Dragged into the stellar space geomagnetic storm, even Luan Xiao'e couldn't save them.

Unexpectedly, they awoke to see Lu Ye.

Wan Guliu was one of their own, naturally not much needed to be said, but the two Constellation Late Stage ones from Qingli Dao World and Jade Conch World sincerely expressed their gratitude to Lu Ye; it was a real life-saving kindness, which many cultivators highly value.

Learning about the current situation, the three didn't dare slack off, while healing they also tried contacting outside, attempting to reach the fleet, but unfortunately, had no success.

Meanwhile, where the fleet was, the Three Worlds cultivators had their first division.

Mainly a divide between the Nine Provinces cultivators and Luan Xiao'e!

The fleet had searched the turbulence zone for several days now but had found neither Lu Ye nor the other three, not even returned messages.

The Nine Provinces cultivators insisted on continuing the search because they wouldn't give up on Lu Ye no matter what, feeling he wouldn't have met any accident, merely the search direction was incorrect, as long as the range expanded they'd surely have results.

But Luan Xiao'e didn't agree.

It wasn't that she didn't care about Lu Ye's life or death; this expedition by Three Worlds cultivators to All Phenomena Ocean was greatly facilitated by Lu Ye, he provided the star map, more needs depended on him in the future.

Additionally, Lu Ye went to rescue not just Nine Provinces cultivators but also the Jade Conch's cultivators, rushing into such terrifying stellar space geomagnetic storm without hesitation, such heroic act wouldn't fail to move anyone!

If possible, Luan Xiao'e wanted to find Lu Ye before moving on.

Yet, being in charge of this fleet, burdened with many considerations, after weighing options multiple times, she ultimately decided the fleet should proceed, hence the divide erupted.
