Sage of Humanity-Chapter 1621 - 1619: So You Really Are Fa Wuzun
This kind of slash should never be executed by a Constellation, the specter's expression was grave, the dirk met it, indeed feeling a force stronger than before colliding with spirit force.
Unfortunately, Lu Ye's spirit force quickly collapsed under her mana impact, even so, the sheer power made the specter's arm tremble slightly.
Another slash fell, the blade momentum contiguous, each slash heavier and faster.
The specter was astonished, she had always known she was no match for Lu Ye, but to be honest, she never knew how strong Lu Ye had become, because she was often defeated in a few moves, never able to truly feel it. Now, having ascended to Moon Jade, she could clearly perceive it.
Precisely because she could perceive it clearly, her heart was shocked.
Because in her estimation, Lu Ye actually already had the ability to contend with an average Moon Jade cultivator! This is extraordinarily incredible, no matter how outstanding a Constellation is, a Constellation remains a Constellation, the spirit force within simply cannot contend with mana.
The nature of the two forces is simply not on the same level.
In fact, Lu Ye's spirit force indeed cannot contend with her mana, this can be seen when the forces meet, Lu Ye's spirit force collapses upon contact.
Yet he relied solely on that terrifying power and speed, making a Moon Jade cultivator like the specter feel troublesome.
After a dozen slashes, the specter couldn't help but retreat.
But she saw, such blade momentum puts a great burden on Lu Ye's physical body, so it absolutely cannot be sustained for long, she needs to do very little on her end, just wait, Lu Ye will soon be unable to sustain it.
Moreover, although Lu Ye possesses the ability to contend with an average Moon Jade cultivator, she is ultimately not an average Moon Jade cultivator, even if she has just ascended for a few years, she is a prodigious figure, how could an average Moon Jade cultivator compare?
She is confident that if she acts with full force, she should be able to take down Lu Ye, but doing so will surely injure Lu Ye, if she doesn't control well and causes him serious injury, it would be unseemly.
She may want to clear the shame, but mainly just seeks revenge on Lu Ye, without really intending to do anything to him, moreover, she still needs something from Lu Ye, truly tearing faces would be of no benefit to her.
So, she can only wait for Lu Ye to exhaust himself!
"Let's see how long you can hold on!" The specter snorted coldly, while parrying Lu Ye's fierce onslaught, while slowly retreating.
The areas they passed through, the floating land began to collapse.
Retreating thoughts already grew in Lu Ye's heart, the specter deserves to be a person renowned in the Constellation Palace, even though she has ascended Moon Jade for a few years, having her whereabouts revealed prevents her from exploiting the advantages of a ghost cultivator, yet she remains extremely tough.
He has already exerted himself fully, yet holds no hope of victory, the Praying Mantis's Twin Saber Style secret technique places too great a burden on the physical body, he can't sustain it long, once exhausted, he becomes fish on the chopping board.
However, if he wants to leave, the specter can't do much to him, not to mention that he has cultivated Yien Xi's Brazen Plundering Technique, even in the past when Tang Jun, a Moon Jade Mid-Stage, pursued him, he could still rely on Void Spirit Runes to come and go swiftly.
But he still has questions to ask the specter, when Unparalleled Island was attacked, the specter was most likely present, she should know that occasion better than Hua Qianying.
Moreover, the specter transmitting a message for him to come here must mean she has something to say, teaching him a lesson is merely incidental.
Seeming to discern Lu Ye's thoughts, the specter hurriedly said: "Li Taibai, if you want to know about Unparalleled Island, obediently stop and let me beat you once!"
"Quit dreaming!" Lu Ye could never agree to her unrestrained request, another heavy slash fell, resolved to leave first.
No matter what the specter wants to tell him, to clarify the matter of Unparalleled Island, a trip to Cheling World is the correct course.
Yet before he could leave, suddenly his form paused, halting the continuous blade momentum.
The specter also leapt back, landing not far away, suspiciously looking in one direction.
There, a dazzling aura approached rapidly, in the blink of an eye, it reached close, revealing the figure of a half-aged elder. That person was clearly Sun Blaze, only making the specter somewhat puzzled why a Sun Blaze came here.
Yet as the Sun Blaze gazed over, the specter couldn't help but feel a stirring of unease, because she saw a briefly flashing killing intent in that Sun Blaze's eyes.
"Veteran Luo!" Lu Ye cupped his fist.
The arrival was indeed Luo Xie, who had separated from them upon entering the All Phenomena Galaxy, seeing his posture, he should be leaving All Phenomena World, preparing to head to All Phenomena Ocean.
Lu Ye also sensed Luo Xie's killing intent, knowing Luo Xie had misunderstood, and quickly said: "Veteran Luo, this one is my friend, unseen for years, a momentary itch to spar."
Luo Xie's expression was unchanging: "Is that so?"
He too was puzzled, a Moon Jade cultivator here contending with Lu Ye, yet did not sense any ill-intentions from the Moon Jade cultivator. After hearing Lu Ye's explanation, he finally understood, these two are sparring.
Since it is Lu Ye's friend, there is no need for him to intervene.
Lu Ye then looked at the specter: "Stand aside, will talk to you later."
"Oh." The specter responded, took a few steps, suddenly realized something was wrong, how could Li Taibai speak with an authoritative tone like a parent commanding a child? She couldn't help but turn her head, glaring at him fiercely. Yet, facing a Sun Blaze, she dared not act recklessly.
Once the specter walked away, Luo Xie waved his large hand, a surge of pure mana set a barrier around them, he spoke: "Little friend, I can't linger here too long, the All Phenomena World over there only gave me half a month, after half a month I have to leave."
This is the rule in All Phenomena Galaxy, any Sun Blaze coming here, unless with some special purpose, cannot stay here long, moreover, during the stay they must not cause trouble, nor engage in bullying, otherwise they will face the full sanction of All Phenomena Galaxy.
However, Luo Xie did not intend to stay here long anyway, he came this time with the fleet, firstly for escort, secondly to explore a route. Now that his purpose is achieved, he plans to visit All Phenomena Ocean and prepare to leave.
"Then Veteran Luo, take care." Lu Ye said this, then took out a segment of the Reincarnation Tree's doppelganger from the storage ring and handed it to him: "Veteran Luo, take this, it should be enough for a few round trips, should there be any cultivators from my Jade Conch Galaxy passing through your esteemed territory in the future, please kindly look after them."
Luo Xie nodded as he took it: "Rest assured, if people from Jade Conch Galaxy come, my four galaxies have good wine, they will not lack for it." He put away the segment of the Reincarnation Tree's doppelganger, then asked: "How is it there in All Phenomena Ocean, why did you come here?"
"All Phenomena Ocean is still All Phenomena Ocean, what plans the Fellow Daoists from four galaxies have, I am not yet aware, but given their strength, they should soon be able to establish themselves in All Phenomena Ocean."
Lu Ye didn't mention Unparalleled Island because it had nothing to do with the four galaxies. The matters of Unparalleled Island were something he had to resolve himself.
After chatting with Luo Xie for a while, Luo Xie finally said, "Well, I'm off. Coming all this way, I must witness the grandeur of the All Phenomena Ocean."
Lu Ye nodded.
Luo Xie glanced at the specter: "Are you sure you don't need my help?"
Lu Ye replied, "No worries, she doesn't harbor any significant malice towards me. It's just that she suffered a small loss by my hand before. Women hold grudges, she wants to get back."
Luo Xie chuckled, "That's good then." His expression turned solemn, "Young friend, I look forward to the day we meet again when you've ascended to Sun Blaze!"
"Thanks for your kind wishes, Veteran Luo!"
Luo Xie departed, and Lu Ye watched him go.
Once Luo Xie's figure vanished from sight, Lu Ye turned to look at the specter's side: "Do you still want to fight?"
"No more fighting!" The specter pouted.
She had realized that her previous thought of easily taking down Lu Ye was wishful thinking. Based on the strength Lu Ye had displayed, if she really tried to take him down, it would be impossible without hurting him, which contradicted her initial intent.
In frustration, how should she get revenge?
"If there's no fight, I have some questions for you."
The specter clearly knew what he wanted to ask, so she said, "Go to Cheling World; after Unparalleled Island changed hands, Chu Shen took them to Cheling World. Tang Jun is also recuperating there. Before leaving, Chu Shen specifically instructed me to deliver a message to you if I had the chance to meet you."
"Is that all?" Lu Ye frowned. He thought the specter had called him over for something special, but it turned out to be just a message.
If that was all, he didn't need to make this trip because he was heading to Cheling World anyway.
"There's more!" The specter's expression suddenly turned serious.
"Speak!"
But the specter remained silent and retrieved an audio talisman, staring at him.
Lu Ye frowned, vaguely aware but unable to stop it.
Apparently, the specter was channeling spirit force into the Spirit Talisman, and soon she was gritting her teeth, "Indeed, you are Fa Wuzun!"
She had vaguely suspected before that Li Taibai might be Fa Wuzun, but there was simply no way to prove it.
Until later when Lu Ye left the All Phenomena Ocean, Fa Wuzun also disappeared, confirming her suspicion. It was precisely due to this certainty that she made a move against Lu Ye; otherwise, she hadn't intended to chastise Li Taibai.
Now, by taking out the audio talisman, she was trying to contact Fa Wuzun, and it turned out the previously untransmittable message could now be sent.
When Li Taibai wasn't around, Fa Wuzun couldn't be reached; but when Li Taibai returned, Fa Wuzun could be contacted.
There's no such coincidence in this world.
Lu Ye remained silent. He knew the matter would inevitably be exposed, but it didn't matter. The origin of hiding Fa Wuzun's identity was an accident; when the specter sought Fa Wuzun's help, later on, Lu Ye couldn't reveal it before her, so it continued like this. He had two audio talismans on him, one belonging to Li Taibai and the other to Fa Wuzun; the specter was contacting Fa Wuzun's audio talisman, which he could sense.
"Say whatever you like." Lu Ye spoke indifferently, not caring about Fa Wuzun's identity being exposed.
"I want to go to the Merfolk Territory."
This was her primary reason for contacting Lu Ye. Seeking revenge was one thing, delivering Chu Shen's message was incidental, but going to the Merfolk Territory was the main goal.
Because cultivating in the Merfolk Territory greatly increased her cultivation efficiency compared to usual; moreover, resources there were abundant, far better than struggling outside.
Aside from being unable to leave the Merfolk Territory, it was a Sacred Land for cultivation.
All thanks to the two golden sea conches Bai Lu used back then. Since then, she and Bai Lu had truly become inseparable sisters, in life and death. Not only were their fates intertwined, but cultivating together also greatly increased cultivation efficiency, akin to Amber and Yiyi, yet not entirely the same.
Now, having just advanced to Moon Jade, her cultivation journey was still long. The specter had a strong desire to pursue power and wouldn't miss such a great opportunity.
Unfortunately, she had no means to reach the Merfolk Territory and could only plead with Lu Ye.
This was why she hadn't intended to strike harshly earlier. Having a request to make, how could she hurt Lu Ye?
She thought the matter wouldn't be problematic since Lu Ye was the one who sent her to the Merfolk Territory before. Unexpectedly, upon hearing her request, Lu Ye turned and left.
The specter was stunned, hesitated for a moment before catching up to him, walking side by side, and tilting her head towards him: "What do you mean?"
Lu Ye ignored her.
The specter was furious but reconsidered, suppressing her anger, "Well, are you going to do it or not, just give me an answer!"
"Depends on my mood!" Lu Ye finally replied.
What kind of rubbish response is that? The specter felt she had been too lenient earlier. Dealing with Li Taibai, such an annoying fellow, she should have subdued him first before talking. But considering that Sun Blaze earlier, she felt a bit apprehensive, not understanding why this guy suddenly had a Sun Blaze backer.
