Sage of Humanity-Chapter 1668 - 1666: I’ll Be Back Next Time

On Lih Shang's five-color floating land, Yiyi and Lu Ye waved goodbye, Amber growled softly, wanting to escort Lu Ye, but Lu Ye declined.

No need to see me off, with the seven-color Divine Lotus, it'll be simpler for me to visit in the future.

Quickly, Lu Ye's figure disappeared from view, leaving Yiyi feeling regretful.

Lih Shang approached and put his arm around her shoulder, comforting, "There will be times to meet in the future. Then, when you use the Soul Possession Technique, even if your cultivation is lower, you can be of great help!"

"Yes!" Yiyi nodded firmly. Having chosen this path, she should walk it well!

Lu Ye had visited the seven-color floating land where Elder Xuyuan resided before, so the path was somewhat familiar, and it was easy to find.

Next, under Elder Xuyuan's guidance, the two of them arrived at the location of the stellar space pond.

Pointing to the stellar space pond, Xuyuan spoke, "This is a microcosm of the entire stellar space. In theory, the outline of the entire stellar space is in this pond, so if you want to go somewhere, you can locate the appropriate area with your star map and reach it through this pond."

Although Lu Ye had once used the stellar space pond to enter a position in the stellar space, hearing Xuyuan's words still amazed him.

What kind of place is the Soul Race ancestral land, and why is the central stellar space pond so mysterious?

After all, one place having a connection to the entire stellar space is something even the Reincarnation Tree cannot do, as it can only establish such a link through numerous doppelgangers.

Lu Ye became more convinced that the Soul Race ancestral land might be on the level of a stellar space supreme treasure, otherwise it wouldn't possess such profound mysteries.

This time he needed to go to the Yin-Yang Great Millstone. According to his original plan, after escorting Lih Shang back, he would have to return to the All Phenomena Galaxy, use an Insect Path to enter another star system, and then embark on a long journey.

It would take at least a year.

The information he received showed that the Yin-Yang Great Millstone, this stellar marvel, is located in a desolate star region, because this stellar marvel is extremely rare, always slowly growing.

In other words, its size is gradually increasing.

Throughout the stellar space, such special stellar marvels are rare; what's more common is the type that is disappearing, as they have existed for too long and can no longer continue.

Of course, even if they're disappearing, it won't happen quickly, it may take hundreds or thousands of years, possibly thousands more. If we treat each stellar marvel as a living being, those disappearing ones are in their twilight years, whereas the Yin-Yang Great Millstone is in its prime!

Of course, not all stellar marvels grow or disappear; many have existed forever, unchanging, with the All Phenomena Ocean being such an example.

"Kid, where are you going?" Xuyuan asked.

Lu Ye concentrated on the dots of light within the stellar space pond, as if he saw the silhouettes of galaxies, but locating the Yin-Yang Great Millstone among these seemed challenging.

He wasn't familiar with the stellar surroundings of the Yin-Yang Great Millstone, otherwise he could cross-reference to determine the location.

"I am going to the Yin-Yang Great Millstone," Lu Ye said.

Xuyuan paused, glanced at Lu Ye, and nodded slightly, "Judging by your cultivation reaching Peak Constellation, did some powerful figure guide you to refine your body, preparing for advancement to Moon Jade?"

Lu Ye was slightly surprised, "Can the Yin-Yang Great Millstone refine the body?"

He intended to go there due to the Reincarnation Tree's suggestion, but he wasn't aware of any benefits there.

Upon hearing Xuyuan's words, he realized the stellar marvel would aid in refining the body. If so…was it necessary to go?

His body had already reached its utmost cultivation, even capable of condensing treasure blood. Lu Ye felt very few external forces could further enhance his body. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Of course." Xuyuan nodded. "It's a perilous land, yet equally a wondrous place."

"Are you quite familiar with the Yin-Yang Great Millstone, Elder?" Lu Ye asked.

Xuyuan said, "Not really. I traveled there when I was younger."

Lu Ye immediately sought advice, "Could the Elder tell me more about this stellar marvel?"

Xuyuan pondered, then chuckled, "No need to say, once there, you'll naturally experience it."

Mysterious indeed…

"But you must be cautious, that place is not peaceful. Don't try to stand out when it's none of your business."

"Understood!" Lu Ye agreed.

"The connected position from the stellar space pond can't directly reach the Yin-Yang Great Millstone, only to this location," Xuyuan said, using Mental Consciousness to guide the position.

From the stellar space pond, Lu Ye couldn't discern how far the position was from the Yin-Yang Great Millstone, but it would surely save a lot of time compared to his original plan.

"Let's go here then."

"Wait." Xuyuan stopped him.

Lu Ye turned and saw Xuyuan handing over a storage ring, "Inside are some soul jades, given by the Clan Leader for me to pass on to you."

Lu Ye smiled with delight and quickly accepted it.

Soul jade, he naturally knows about, is equivalent to a spirit jade. However, while a spirit jade is used to replenish spirit force, a soul jade is used to replenish Soul Power. It can be said that each piece of soul jade is equivalent to a supreme-grade psyche refinement pill, and perhaps even stronger.

However, in the stellar space, soul jade is not as common as spirit jade, which can even be collected in the stellar space. Soul jade only forms in some extremely special places.

The environment of the Soul Race ancestral land is exceptionally favorable, naturally giving birth to soul jade.

"Thank you, Elder!" Lu Ye beamed with delight, "I also ask the elder to convey my thanks to the Clan Leader."

The Soul Race ancestral land is a great place, I'll come again next time...

"Go on." Elder Xuyuan chuckled and waved him off.

"I'll be going then."

As Lu Ye spoke, his Mental Consciousness surged, locking onto the location Elder Xuyuan pointed out. After thanking Elder Xuyuan, he swiftly plunged into the stellar space pond.

Just like before, the entire stellar space rapidly enlarged in his vision. By the time Lu Ye came to his senses, he had already left the Soul Race ancestral land.

In the unknown stellar space, Lu Ye looked around and found nothing but a few desolate or dead planets nearby. There wasn't even a semblance of a domain, let alone a sign of anyone.

Which way should he go? He also didn't know how far the Yin-Yang Great Millstone was from here.

He pondered briefly and decided to take things one step at a time. The best scenario would be to find a domain or encounter some cultivators he could ask.

He summoned the starboat and casually chose a direction to proceed.

While exploring the surroundings, hoping to encounter someone, he connected the seven-color Divine Lotus in his Divine Sea with the Soul Race ancestral land.

Soon he noticed that as he moved further from his initial position, the connection between the seven-color Divine Lotus in his Divine Sea and the ancestral land was gradually weakening.

Just one hour later, Lu Ye felt that the connection had weakened to the point where it couldn't open the passage to the ancestral land.

This meant that, even with the help of the seven-color Divine Lotus, he couldn't enter the Soul Race ancestral land from this position.

Indeed, this method of entering the Soul Race ancestral land has significant limitations and requires certain specific locations. Moreover, there can't be too much deviation.

However, this isn't a major issue. There should be plenty of such specific locations in the stellar space. If he truly wanted to enter the Soul Race ancestral land, he only needed to rely on his seven-color Divine Lotus and continuously change positions, judging whether the connection was weakening or strengthening, to successfully find a suitable spot.

It would just take some effort and time. What Lih Shang could do, he could naturally do as well.

As he journeyed, everything was calm until he sensed the sound of a battle from afar. Judging from the sounds, one side was clearly a cultivator, using spirit force.

His heart leaped with joy, and he hurriedly steered the starboat toward that direction. Soon, he saw two figures.

A man and a woman, one at the Constellation Late Stage and the other at the Constellation Mid-Stage, were collaborating to kill a rodent-like star beast.

However, that rodent star beast was indeed large, with its body alone measuring five zhang long, covered in starlight, menacingly fierce, and looked difficult to handle.

Lu Ye stopped at a distance. He was just here to ask for directions and didn't want to be misunderstood.

The man and woman engaged with the star beast obviously noticed Lu Ye's arrival. Their previously fierce offensive suddenly halted, showing clear caution.

However, upon seeing Lu Ye stop at a distance and voluntarily reveal his cultivation at the Constellation Late Stage, they relaxed.

Generally speaking, what Lu Ye did indicated he had no ill intentions. This was the correct protocol for encounters among unfamiliar cultivators in stellar space.

With their worries alleviated, the male and female cultivators immediately increased their efforts, soon slaying the star beast on the spot, leaving the woman to handle it while the male cultivator flew toward Lu Ye.

Lu Ye also moved forward to meet him. When they were close, Lu Ye made a respectful gesture: "Greetings, Fellow Daoist!"

The other returned the gesture, sized Lu Ye up, and asked, "What can I do for you, Fellow Daoist?"

Lu Ye clearly waited for them there, obviously for something.

Lu Ye stated, "I wanted to ask, in which direction is the Yin-Yang Great Millstone? I would greatly appreciate it if Fellow Daoist could point the way."

The male cultivator understood from this that Lu Ye was merely asking for directions, a small favor, just a matter of lifting a hand. Naturally, he didn't mind pointing the way.

Immediately, he indicated a direction to Lu Ye.

Looking in that direction, Lu Ye thanked him and was about to set off when the female cultivator approached: "Are you not from this home galaxy?"

Lu Ye answered frankly, "I'm just passing by, specifically heading to the Yin-Yang Great Millstone."

The female cultivator understood, flicked a jade slip to Lu Ye: "This is a star map of this home galaxy, which includes the direction to the Yin-Yang Great Millstone. Fellow Daoist, take it, for with the star map reflecting the star signs, it's not easy to get lost."

Accepting it, Lu Ye quickly inspected and confirmed it was indeed a star map, and as the female cultivator said, included the position of the Yin-Yang Great Millstone. He sincerely thanked her: "Thank you, Fellow Daoist, you've been a great help."

The female cultivator smiled lightly: "It's nothing."

Lu Ye soon departed, examining the star map as he went.

According to the star map, this star system is called the Grotto Void Galaxy, and to reach the Yin-Yang Great Millstone, one must pass through the Grotto Void Galaxy and arrive at the desolate star region where this stellar space marvel is located.
