Sage of Humanity-Chapter 1609 - 1607: Welcoming Banquet

On the battleship, Lu Ye maintained a calm demeanor, bowing slightly in the direction of the four Sun Blazes: "A fortuitous encounter, not my doing, Fellow Daoists have overpraised me!"

Jyang Shang smiled slightly: "No need to be modest, young friend. We have thoroughly understood the specifics of the battle. If it weren't for you, the four galaxies would have suffered great devastation."

In such a vastly uneven battlefield, the sudden intrusion of the Dancing Girl disrupted the battle, giving the cultivators of the four galaxies a chance to catch their breath. Initially, Luo Xie, Ning Bu'ao, and others thought the Dancing Girl had entered by accident, but when they saw Lu Ye playing the bone ocarina, how could they not realize that the Dancing Girl was actually summoned by Lu Ye?

If it were only this, the impact on the battle would not be great, as the mystical power affected all beings on the battlefield. Once the Dancing Girl left, the strange power vanished, and the battle would proceed as it would anyway.

But unexpectedly, Lu Ye possessed the ability to dispel the Dancing Girl's power. First, he freed Li Guan, and then Ning Bu'ao and Luo Xie, which was the key to turning the tide of this battle.

The power of the Dancing Girl was irresistible even for the Sun Blaze experts of the three clans, yet Lu Ye was able to resolve it. What kind of power was that? Even those who experienced it firsthand like Li Guan couldn't describe it, but undeniably, exhibiting such mysterious means at the Constellation Realm is truly beyond imagination.

A life-saving grace and a world-saving grace deserve such a solemn courtesy from the Sun Blazes.

"Young friend, a banquet has been prepared within the Sacred Palace to greet you and your friends. We hope you can honor us with your presence!" Jyang Shang gestured.

It was not a victory banquet, though won, too many had died, even a Sun Blaze had perished. There's little to celebrate.

Yet, having won, they couldn't ignore the occasion, and welcoming Lu Ye and his companions is the best choice.

With such enthusiastic hospitality from the Sun Blazes, Lu Ye naturally could not refuse and immediately stepped forward to join Jyang Shang and others inside.

Moments later, within the grand hall of the Indeterminate Sacred Palace, the Sun Blazes gathered, apart from those from the four galaxies, only Lu Ye as a Constellation and Luan Xiao'e as a Moon Jade were present, aside from the maids serving alongside, no other figures were to be seen.

Outside the hall, however, was bustling with life; tables were set across the plaza, where the returned victorious cultivators of the four galaxies and the Three Worlds cultivators were arranged to sit together.

This arrangement was naturally because the space within the hall was insufficient, with over four hundred cultivators from the Three Worlds, fifteen hundred from the four galaxies, totaling two thousand. Even though the Sacred Palace's hall was spacious, it couldn't accommodate so many people drinking and making merry together.

They could only be arranged outside.

It was just right for them to get familiar with one another; many here were preparing to head to the All Phenomena Ocean. Familiarity beforehand would aid mutual support when reaching there.

Luan Xiao'e was very nervous.

Before participating in that battle, she had never encountered a Sun Blaze. Even while feeling their might from afar during the battle, it did not require close contact.

Now it was different; only eight people were seated in the entire hall, apart from Lu Ye, the other six all possessed Sun Blaze cultivation.

She cautiously glanced at Lu Ye out of the corner of her eye... only to see this young man engaging in relaxed conversation with the Sun Blazes of the four galaxies, seemingly unfazed by the vast gap in their abilities.

Luan Xiao'e was immensely impressed, for a Constellation Realm to have such composure was truly remarkable. Had she not known Lu Ye was from a newly ascended large domain like the Nine Heavens, Luan Xiao'e might have thought he came from some elite domain familiar with the Sun Blazes' might, otherwise, how could he be so unflinching?

If it were her at the Constellation Realm, faced with so many Sun Blazes, she would surely struggle to speak coherently.

If possible, Luan Xiao'e would have preferred to be outside the hall, celebrating with the Three Worlds cultivators; it would be much more relaxed, but as the leader of the Three Worlds fleet and the only accompanying Moon Jade, how could she stay out of this?

Luan Xiao'e suspected these Sun Blazes regarded her as Lu Ye's elder, hence the invitation included her as well.

Sitting upright and lost in thought, Qin Yi seemingly noticed her nervousness and smiled at her: "Seeing that Junior Sister Luan has also reached the Moon Jade Late Stage, do you have any questions regarding advancing to Sun Blaze? If so, feel free to speak with me later. My experience may not fit you, but advice from others can still be beneficial."

Luan Xiao'e's spirits lifted, almost to tears!

For countless years, the Moon Jades of Jade Conch have been troubled by the question of advancing to Sun Blaze, generations of cultivators exploring step by step, yet always finding no way forward, and Jade Conch lacked any past elders' guidance or experiences. Her journey to the All Phenomena Ocean was to see if she could seize any opportunity to get some tips from a Sun Blaze.

Who would have thought her wish would be fulfilled even before reaching the All Phenomena Ocean?

And the other party initiated it!

Her mind raced as she calmed herself, looking gratefully at Qin Yi: "Indeed, there are many confusions. If Senior Sister is so kind, I won't hold back. I will certainly need to consult with you later."

"Not a problem!" Qin Yi nodded with a smile, speaking briefly with Luan Xiao'e about other matters, gradually allowing her to relax.

Jyang Shang asked about the bone ocarina because they were too curious about it, not understanding why that thing could attract the Dancing Girl.

"What exactly is the bone ocarina? Actually, I haven't figured it out." The matter of the bone ocarina wasn't anything bad to talk about, so Lu Ye began to explain, "That item was obtained in the Great Wheel of Fortune when I passed through the Changyun Galaxy years ago!"

"The Great Wheel of Fortune!" Several Sun Blaze cultivators were visibly energized, clearly having heard of this stellar space supreme treasure.

"That Changyun Galaxy is truly fortunate, for the Great Wheel of Fortune actually descended there." Luo Xie looked envious, wishing this treasure had come to his own galaxy.

Luan Xiao'e was in the dark, curiously looking towards Lu Ye.

Lu Ye briefly explained, and only then did Luan Xiao'e understand what the Great Wheel of Fortune was. She was quite surprised, never having imagined that such an extraordinary stellar space supreme treasure existed in this world.

"When I obtained the bone ocarina, I unintentionally discovered that this treasure had great allure for star beasts. Once sounded, if there were star beasts in the nearby stellar space, they would undoubtedly be attracted over! So after using it twice, I didn't use it again. This time, faced with no other option, I attempted it briefly, never expecting it would actually bring the Dancing Girl over."

Primarily because Lu Ye saw the Dancing Girl escape into that desolate star region firsthand. Without this intelligence to go on, Lu Ye wouldn't have thought of using the bone ocarina.

At that time, only the strange power of the Dancing Girl could turn the tide of the battle, even if that terrifying azure bird came over, it would be to no avail.

"After the Dancing Girl was attracted, she kept chasing me, seemingly very interested in the bone ocarina. Helplessly, I could only give the bone ocarina to her. Once she acquired it, she left; I reckon the item was of some aid to her injuries."

Luo Xie lamented, "Such an extraordinary treasure being lost like this, what a pity!"

Lu Ye said, "It can save lives, so there's nothing pitiful about it."

No matter how good a treasure is, it's useless without life. Exchanging a bone ocarina for the lives of hundreds of Three Worlds cultivators, Lu Ye thought it was well worth it.

It also incidentally saved people from the four galaxies.

"You are broad-minded, young friend, that's right!" Luo Xie laughed heartily, raising his glass and saying, "I, the old man, was short-sighted."

Lu Ye picked up his glass and drank with him. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Ning Bu'ao was more interested in the Great Wheel of Fortune: "Young friend, I've heard Senior Brother Jyang Shang mention before that in order to advance to All Phenomena Ocean, we seem to have to pass through a Changyun Galaxy. Could this Changyun Galaxy be the very one where the Great Wheel of Fortune descended?"

"Indeed!"

"I wonder if the Great Wheel of Fortune is still there." Ning Bu'ao stroked his chin, somewhat envisioning.

If it's still there, then everyone can pay a visit when advancing to All Phenomena Ocean and passing through Changyun, to test their luck.

There are many stellar space supreme treasures in this world, but one as unique as the Great Wheel of Fortune is rare. If one's luck is good enough, visiting the Great Wheel of Fortune can yield many benefits; it's not an exaggeration to say one could become rich overnight.

"It's been several years already, so it's probably not there anymore." Lu Ye replied, though he also wasn't sure how long the Great Wheel of Fortune would stay once it descended. But it shouldn't linger for years; such stellar space supreme treasures typically come and go without a trace.

"That's quite a pity." Ning Bu'ao shook his head. He himself had no thoughts on it; although the Great Wheel of Fortune was entirely a matter of luck, people have summarized a pattern: the higher a person's cultivation, the lower the probability of receiving benefits, usually encountering misfortune, especially Sun Blaze cultivators. If they truly went in, it would generally be a streak of bad luck, slightly better for Moon Jade cultivators.

Typically, those who gained benefits were Constellation cultivators.

As they spoke, a small figure suddenly rushed into the great hall. Lu Ye turned his head and saw Yaya running over cheerfully, with Yiyi chasing behind for a while but failing to catch up, standing outside the hall with a helpless expression.

"Daddy!" Yaya ran over and sat in Lu Ye's lap.

Lu Ye gave Yiyi a look, and only then did Yiyi retreat.

Inside the great hall, several Sun Blaze cultivators were all keenly observing Yaya. They had heard from Jyang Shang that this figure, who looked like a child, was surprisingly a powerful Sun Blaze cultivator, though for some reason, her cultivation was usually not apparent, and she even called Lu Ye daddy.

Such bizarre occurrences are rarely seen and not something to probe into.

Luan Xiao'e's expression was equally peculiar because, before Yaya revealed her Sun Blaze strength, she truly thought this was a child. But on that battlefield, Yaya suddenly erupted, displaying her full Sun Blaze cultivation, even repelling a Blood Race Sun Blaze, which she saw with her own eyes.
