Sage of Humanity-Chapter 1645 - 1643: Native Factions of the All Phenomena Ocean

Lu Ye quietly waited in front of the portal.

A moment later, the portal rippled, and Yann Miao's figure appeared once more, a smile hanging on her face that she couldn't suppress.

Just as she had thought, after a month of waiting, the Merfolk Race was anxiously waiting, yet they couldn't contact Lu Ye or Yann Miao, so they had no idea what situation the two were in now, or whether they had gone to sea, and if going to sea would put Yann Miao at risk.

In this tormenting state, Yann Miao returned and brought them a piece of great news!

The entire Merfolk community was in an uproar, with several elders, including Queen Bai Shuang and Princess Bai Lu, all crowding around Yann Miao, asking questions one after another. If the portal's time limit wasn't closing soon, Yann Miao might not have been able to pull away.

As for the situation on the All Phenomena Ocean side, the Merfolk Race actually knew quite a bit, after all, specter had always been cultivating on that side, and Bai Lu often discussed trivial matters during their chats.

But ultimately, it was only hearsay. Who doesn't want to see it themselves?

Now that Great Elder Yann Miao has already taken this step, will others be far behind?

Yann Miao handed over a storage ring: "Young Friend, there are some spirit jades here, to purchase those elixir pills. However, the amount is not enough, I have already instructed people to speed up the mining, and will compensate you later."

"No problem!" Lu Ye accepted the storage ring and casually looked it over, estimating that there were around a few million spirit jades inside the ring.

The money for reinforcing the Formation, that's settled!

With the wealthy Merfolk Race as a backing, as long as the supply of elixir pills can be maintained, Three Worlds Island wouldn't lack expenses.

"Additionally, Young Friend, when will it be convenient for you to visit our territory again? Several elders all wish to come and have a look." Yann Miao spoke again.

With Yann Miao as a successful precedent, the other elders clearly wanted Lu Ye's help to dissolve the curse poison within their bodies.

Lu Ye glanced at the slowly dissipating portal and spoke, "Not possible now. At least not for seven days. How about this, after seven days I'll make another trip."

"No rush, no rush, everything according to Young Friend." Yann Miao responded with a smile, clearly in a good mood.

Resolvings the curse poison within their bodies would not only allow the clansmen to leave the underwater environment but would also significantly increase their prospects of advancing to Sun Blaze. Who wouldn't yearn for such fortune?

Lu Ye was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something: "But there's one thing I need to let the Great Elder know, your race is considered rare species in stellar space, if your identity is exposed, it would inevitably draw the covetous eyes of some powerful beings. As long as someone like the Great Elder acts cautiously, it will be fine. But someone like the Princess, it's best if she doesn't leave the territory."

Upon hearing this, Yann Miao remembered Bai Lu's previously expectant gaze and slightly nodded. Although Bai Lu was destined to be disappointed, for the sake of safety, it was indeed not wise to reveal oneself.

This group has survived under the All Phenomena Ocean for many years, having barely any understanding of external situations, if Lu Ye didn't particularly remind them, they might really cause trouble later on.

"Great Elder, make yourself comfortable, I still have some matters to attend to here." After saying this, Lu Ye left.

Over there, Luan Xiao'e and Tang Jun were still waiting, knowing nothing of why Lu Ye wanted to wait there...

Until Lu Ye returned and handed them a storage ring containing millions of spirit jades.

Tang Jun was astonished: "Where did these come from?"

Within this short time, where did Lu Ye manage to conjure so many spirit jades? Surely, he didn't have them before, otherwise, he could have handed them over earlier.

Lu Ye pondered for a moment and thought it best to make the two aware of the Merfolk Race's existence, for if he wasn't on Three Worlds Island in the future, he would still rely on the Merfolk Race to help guard the island's safety, Luan Xiao'e and Tang Jun, as the island masters, had the right to know of this alliance.

Additionally, Lu Ye wanted the cultivators of Three Worlds Island to make a journey to Divine Conch Hall!

Inside there, cultivators have a chance to receive gifts from Divine Conch Hall, obtaining their sea snail, some of which have significant effects; although sea snail effects are bizarre, some do possess powerful uses.

Five hundred cultivators on Three Worlds Island, even with bad luck, could still acquire dozens of sea snails, right? If one happens to obtain a rare and powerful sea snail, the island's foundation could surely be elevated.

"Have you heard of the Merfolk Race?" Lu Ye asked.

Luan Xiao'e nodded: "Naturally heard of them, it's said that Merfolk Race have wonderful songs, their singing often carries incredible powers, considered rare species among stellar space."

Speaking as she did, Luan Xiao'e looked curiously at Lu Ye, not knowing why he suddenly mentioned the Merfolk Race.

Tang Jun's expression brightened: "It's said that Merfolk Race women are all as beautiful as flowers, their voices melodious and charming, but unfortunately, I've never had the chance to meet one!"

Lu Ye glanced at him, not expecting Old Tang to be like this! Despite his old age, his focus seemed a bit less composed.

"Just now, that Yann Miao Great Elder, was from the Merfolk Race."

"What!" Luan Xiao'e and Tang Jun were both taken aback, looking at Lu Ye with suspicion, as if trying to see whether he was joking.

But the two quickly realized, Lu Ye wouldn't joke about this, there's no meaning in doing so.

Luan Xiao'e said, "No wonder the Great Elder's demeanor feels a bit odd to me, not quite like the pure human race. Turns out, indeed he's not human!"

As for why he doesn't fit the legendary image of a human body with a fish tail... Luan Xiao'e clearly knew the key reasons, that Great Elder is obviously capable of appearing human with legs.

Lu Ye said, "All Phenomena Ocean holds many secrets, not as simple as it appears on the surface. We only live above All Phenomena Ocean, but beneath it, there's another profound world."

Tang Jun's eyebrow twitched, "Kid, don't tell me that Great Elder's clan lives below All Phenomena Ocean!"

Lu Ye looked at him, "That's right, Yann Miao's Merfolk Race indeed lives beneath All Phenomena Ocean!"

Tang Jun and Luan Xiao'e were even more shocked, looking at Lu Ye in disbelief.

After a while, Luan Xiao'e said, "But... isn't it said that the waters of All Phenomena Ocean are incredibly erosive, even Sun Blaze can't penetrate them?"

"That is true, but mystical places have their own wonders; countless spirit fish star beasts thrive below All Phenomena Ocean, meaning other races can also survive."

The Merfolk Race can survive mainly due to the power of Curse Poison, though there's no need to explain this so clearly. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"In short, the Merfolk Race indeed lives beneath All Phenomena Ocean, and now we can consider ourselves to have established a very good and solid cooperative relationship with that branch of the Merfolk Race."

Tang Jun suddenly realized, "So when you previously said they are a local force, that's what you meant!"

He had thought it was some domain in the All Phenomena Galaxy, where the Merfolk Race living below All Phenomena Ocean is considered a local force… seems valid!

"So these spirit jades were given by them?" Luan Xiao'e suddenly realized, understanding the source of these spirit jades.

"Not given, I established some trade cooperation with them, and these were obtained by selling elixir pills," Lu Ye explained.

The kind of elixir pill that could instantly sell for so many spirit jades! Both Moon Jade cultivators wanted to ask but held back.

However, since it's a trade cooperation, taking them poses no problem. If they were simply given, it would feel like owing favors.

"Telling you all this is mainly to inform you that Three Worlds Island will not lack spirit jades in the future. Our Three Worlds cultivators must focus on enhancing their own strength, thinking of nothing else, as only by strengthening can we protect Three Worlds Island well," Lu Ye spoke earnestly. "I might leave All Phenomena Ocean soon, so I'll need you to look after Three Worlds Island diligently."

"Where are you going?" Tang Jun frowned, "You're one of the island masters, you can't just be a hands-off manager. Last time, Lu Ye left, Unparalleled Island was lost, which gave me some psychological shadow."

"There are matters to attend to," Lu Ye did not elaborate. It had been a while since returning to All Phenomena Ocean, and though Lih Shang never rushed him, escorting her back to the Soul Race ancestral land should be prioritized, delaying no longer.

Luan Xiao'e said, "Whatever tasks require handling, do them; rest assured about Three Worlds Island. When you return, it will surely still be Three Worlds Island!"

She and Tang Jun had always worried about the future cultivation expenses of Three Worlds cultivators, fundamentally, it was all about a lack of money. Who would have guessed Lu Ye had already resolved it?

The future cultivation costs for hundreds of cultivators are no small sum, and now it's not a concern. If they can't guard Three Worlds Island well, what use are they?

"Additionally, the Merfolk Race has a Divine Conch Hall with some profound mysteries," Lu Ye briefly described the aspects of Divine Conch Hall, captivating both Tang Jun and Luan Xiao'e.

Various operable conches – obtaining a useful one holds potential for Three Worlds Island's future development.

"But ultimately, it's their secret realm; will they allow us entry?" Tang Jun asked with some concern.

Lu Ye contemplated, "That branch of the Merfolk Race is the firmest ally for Three Worlds Island's future. With the Divine Conch Hall, they won't be stingy about opening it to us. I'll talk to the Great Elder later; it shouldn't be problematic." He turned to Luan Xiao'e, "Senior Sister, you currently have a task."

Luan Xiao'e's expression grew serious, "Junior Brother, just instruct."

Nominally, she is the First Island Master, while Lu Ye is the Third Island Master, but she understood that Three Worlds Island's future relies on Lu Ye. All she can do is offer martial support.

"In the next few days, accompany Great Elder Yann Miao. She's new here and probably wants to explore."

Luan Xiao'e immediately understood, smiling, "Rest assured, Junior Brother, I will accompany Fellow Daoist Yann Miao well."

Saying this, she instructed Tang Jun to watch over Three Worlds Island, then instantly left to find Yann Miao.

Yann Miao indeed was exploring, though Three Worlds Island wasn't yet developed, so apart from some cultivators, there wasn't much else to see.

While contemplating whether or not to greet Lu Ye and venture out, Luan Xiao'e arrived, and with a warm invitation, Yann Miao was overjoyed.

The two women immediately paired up and flew out of Three Worlds Island, their figures gradually drifting away!

Two Moon Jade Late Stage cultivators moving together across All Phenomena Ocean; surely no one would dare provoke them randomly, so safety wasn't a concern at all.

Luan Xiao'e was clear in her objective and headed straight to All Phenomena Island with Yann Miao, as of all places in All Phenomena Ocean, that Spirit Island was the most prosperous.
