Sage of Humanity-Chapter 1615 - 1613: Entering Changyun

The jade bangles of Yaya are actually a pair!

One of them must have fallen into the Mist Dragon when she lost consciousness, and if Yaya hadn't returned this time, it might never have been discovered.

It was precisely because she returned to the Mist Dragon with Lu Ye that she was able to sense it and retrieve the lost bangle.

Having retrieved her jade bangle, Yaya was visibly delighted, her small face beaming like a flower as she swayed and slipped the bangle onto her other wrist.

It fit perfectly.

Lu Ye stared for a while and noticed many intricate and dense patterns flowing across the jade bangle, but before he could examine them closely, they vanished.

This pair of jade bangles must be extremely important to Yaya. Now that they have been recovered, Lu Ye was happy for her as well.

"Papa, Yaya is sleepy and wants to take a nap!" Yaya suddenly said, then curled up in Lu Ye's arms.

"Sleep well." Lu Ye held her, gently patting her back, turned around, and headed back the way they came.

He didn't notice at all that at this moment, the jade bangles on Yaya's wrists seemed to be subtly channeling a mysterious energy into her body, something that had never happened before.

With one hand holding Yaya, and the other holding a torch, he moved unimpeded through the Mist Dragon.

But as he walked, Lu Ye realized something was wrong. For he was sure he was retracing his steps, and at his speed, he should have caught up with the fleet in a matter of days if all was right.

In reality, he never once sighted the fleet.

It wasn't until half a month later that the thick fog all around suddenly dissipated, clearing his vision.

Lu Ye was astonished to find he had actually passed through the Mist Dragon!

He had gone the wrong way...

Helpless, in such a place like the Mist Dragon, it's really difficult to discern directions. A slight mistake can lead to such an outcome. Clearly, there had been a minor error in his direction.

With no other choice, he observed for a while outside the Mist Dragon to locate the position of the Insect Path, then headed straight back into the Mist Dragon and moved forward directly.

This time, things went smoothly. Half a month later, a peculiar energy fluctuation suddenly came from ahead.

He looked carefully in the torchlight, and indeed it was the Insect Path.

But before Lu Ye could rush into the Insect Path, his expression tightened, as he saw a strange figure standing outside the path.

What shook him even more was that this figure exuded an aura of the Sun Blaze level!

At this moment, the Sun Blaze was standing outside the Insect Path, seemingly observing something. As Lu Ye charged through with his torch, he naturally caught the person's eye.

Lu Ye was secretly vigilant; encountering an unfamiliar Sun Blaze in such a place was not a pleasant experience. With Yaya asleep and no ability to counter a Sun Blaze himself, if the stranger harbored ill intentions, he could attack and kill him here without anyone knowing.

While on alert, the Sun Blaze suddenly spoke: "Lu Yiye?"

Lu Ye was surprised but quickly responded: "Yes, and you are..."

The Sun Blaze replied, "Changyun, Fan Li!"

Fan Li, staring at the torch in Lu Ye's hand for a while, then said, "Come with me!"

With a wave of his big hand, pure energy surged out, enveloping Lu Ye, and he turned and rushed into the Insect Path.

Lu Ye did not resist because if things were as he suspected, there was no need to resist. If things were not as he suspected, resistance would be pointless. Moreover, this Insect Path was not exactly stable; when he had traversed it before, he had relied on the power of the Dragon Throne. Now, with a Sun Blaze guiding him, it saved him some trouble.

Soon, they passed through the Insect Path.

The other end of the Insect Path lay beneath the abyss of a dead star, which must have been a large domain long ago, otherwise, the Reincarnation Tree's doppelganger wouldn't be here. But it's unclear what caused the domain's decline, with all vitality gone, slowly turning into a dead star.

In the stellar space, the rise and fall of domains are common occurrences. The Red Sky Continent is currently in decline; its ultimate fate is either to become a mundane domain devoid of cultivators or to be completely destroyed and become a dead star.

After bringing Lu Ye out of the abyss, Fan Li didn't bother with him anymore, and flew straight toward a short-stay palace floating in the air.

Lu Ye saw that the Three Worlds cultivators and cultivators from the four galaxies were waiting nearby.

Seeing him appear, Hua Ci Yiyi and others hurried over.

"What's the situation now?" Lu Ye asked.

Hua Ci said, "We followed your instructions, charged out of the Insect Path to this place, but within a few days, the cultivators of this galaxy arrived, led by the Sun Blaze from earlier. Now Veteran Luo is inside negotiating with them."

Lu Ye nodded; things were indeed as he thought. Seeing the Sun Blaze at the Insect Path entrance made him guess it might be a Sun Blaze from the Changyun Galaxy, and the facts confirmed it. That Fan Li was indeed a Sun Blaze expert from Changyun.

Back in the day, when Lu Ye left this place alone, it wasn't enough to cause any significant commotion. He even had the chance to obscure the entrance here, as this place was already considered the edge of Changyun, seldom visited by cultivators.

But it's different on the return trip, with so many cultivators traveling together, and the presence of Luo Xie, the Sun Blaze sitting in command, will definitely alert the Sun Blaze of the home galaxy.

That Fan Li should have sensed the anomaly on this side, which is why he brought people to investigate.

A wormhole appeared in the home galaxy leading elsewhere; anyone would take it seriously. No one can guarantee what lies on the other end of the wormhole or who may come through.

Fan Li personally went to investigate, likely with such considerations.

However, the other end of the wormhole leads to a mysterious place like Mist Dragon. So, although Fan Li went there, he didn't dare leave the wormhole. He only observed nearby, coincidentally encountering the returning Lu Ye and brought him back.

As for how Fan Li knew his name, Lu Ye speculated that Luo Xie had told him. Luo Xie likely feared Fan Li might kill Lu Ye on impulse upon encountering him, so he specifically warned him.

At present, the two big suns are negotiating in the short-stay palace; others cannot intervene and can only wait quietly.

Just as Lu Ye insisted on visiting the Indeterminate Sacred Palace when he passed through the Indeterminate Galaxy, such a large group passing through a star system requires making a good impression on the hosts.

Currently, the fleet is about to pass through the Changyun Galaxy and even borrow a wormhole connecting to the All Phenomena Galaxy. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

This matter generally doesn't come with too many hurdles. Which cultivator doesn't travel? They've all been to other star systems, borrowing passage is commonplace, convenience begets convenience.

While waiting, Luo Xie's voice suddenly came to his ear: "Young Friend Lu, come up for a chat!"

Lu Ye looked up at the short-stay palace, then handed Yaya in his arms to Yiyi, saying: "Veteran Luo calls me. I'll be right back."

With a leap, he entered the palace.

Soon, he saw Luo Xie's figure in the great hall of the palace, with Fan Li also present. Both sat respectively in chairs.

Lu Ye glanced at Luo Xie, wondering if it was an illusion, feeling that Old Luo seemed a bit displeased...

He stepped forward and greeted respectfully.

Luo Xie spoke: "Yiye, this Fellow Daoist Fan from Changyun is very interested in how you can move freely within the Mist Dragon. Could you explain briefly?"

Lu Ye couldn't help but frown. Luo Xie knows how he can move freely in the Mist Dragon; there's no need to specifically call him to explain.

But since Luo Xie said so, Lu Ye could only comply and explained the situation briefly.

Fan Li asked: "So the torch you held in your hand earlier was a doppelganger of the Reincarnation Tree?"

"Indeed!"

Fan Li asked: "May I ask where you acquired this doppelganger, Young Friend?"

Lu Ye said calmly: "Naturally, bestowed by the Reincarnation Tree!"

Fan Li asked again: "Would you happen to have any spare ones, Young Friend?"

Lu Ye naturally had more. The doppelganger of the dead Reincarnation Tree had been divided into dozens of pieces, and only two had been used so far. This material burns slowly; Lu Ye used the same piece back and forth, and only used the second piece when searching for Yaya, barely half used after nearly a month.

Hearing Fan Li's intent, Lu Ye suspected he wanted to ask for some.

Lu Ye glanced at Luo Xie, who said calmly: "Fellow Daoist Fan wants to ask you for a segment, seems like it has great use. If you have spare, give one to Fellow Daoist Fan; if not, it's fine."

The hint in his words was clear: he obviously didn't want Lu Ye to agree.

As long as there is a doppelganger of the Reincarnation Tree, one can traverse the Mist Dragon and enter the four galaxies.

After a brief contemplation, Lu Ye spoke: "Tree Elder granted three segments of the doppelganger initially. I do indeed have one left. You may have it if you wish, Senior."

Saying so, he handed a segment of the Reincarnation Tree's doppelganger over.

Fan Li received it joyfully, exclaiming: "Wonderful, wonderful!" Playing with it fondly, evidently not expecting it to come so easily.

Luo Xie sipped tea grumpily beside, feeling dismayed because he also wanted to ask Lu Ye for a doppelganger but never had the chance to speak, and now someone else had beaten him to it.

Clearly, I was first!

Lu Ye felt quite helpless, as the fleet needed to borrow passage through someone else's territory. Moreover, considering more people might come in the future, borrowing passage wouldn't happen just once or twice. If they angered the hosts now, there'd be no talk of the future.

Acquiring a segment of the Reincarnation Tree's doppelganger for smoother travel ahead, this trade was worth it.

Besides, the Reincarnation Tree's doppelganger, strictly speaking, originally belonged to the Changyun Galaxy...

After hesitating slightly, Fan Li looked at Luo Xie and said: "To be honest, Fellow Daoist, Fan seeks this item to explore a secret area, significant to my Changyun. It has been explored several times but without success. The environment there is very similar to Mist Dragon; since this item can resist Mist Dragon's strange force, it surely aids Changyun in exploring that secret place."

The specific explanation was clearly to prevent Luo Xie from misunderstanding his intentions for the doppelganger. Otherwise, this sort of secret wouldn't be shared with a recently acquainted Sun Blaze.
