Sage of Humanity-Chapter 1670 - 1668: Meeting an Old Friend in a Foreign Land

In just a moment, Lu Ye figured out his situation. He was currently on a massive starboat, resembling a floating fortress.

This was clearly the starboat of the galactic pirate group.

He pondered secretly: if he suddenly deployed the red talisman now, even if he couldn't kill this Moon Jade Late Stage cultivator, he might still cause some panic. By taking advantage of the chaos, he would have a chance to escape. As long as there's a moment of confusion, he could explode his treasure blood and activate the Blood Race's Blood Escape Technique. Most Moon Jade cultivators might not be able to chase him.

The only troublesome thing is the big array deployed around him. The Formation has a concealing effect, which might also have protective capabilities. It would be awkward if, after deploying the red talisman, he couldn't escape the Formation's range.

"Do you understand Formation?"

As he was contemplating, the old man suddenly asked.

Clearly, the old man had seen Lu Ye's actions earlier, which prompted the question. If Lu Ye didn't understand Formation, he wouldn't have noticed the anomaly beforehand. It was evident he saw traces of the Formation, which made him turn and run.

"A little." Lu Ye replied indifferently.

"Your skills aren't bad either!" The old man looked Lu Ye up and down, showing a meaningful smile: "Kid, do you want to die or live?"

This was a tricky question...

"If I can live, who would want to die?"

"Very good!" The old man grinned, his expression a bit grim, "If you want to live, you must perform well. If you perform well, I might spare your life. You might even get a chance to join my Divine Wind Group!"

The Divine Wind Group was undoubtedly the name of this galactic pirate group. Lu Ye had no interest in joining the Divine Wind Group, but at the moment, he could only show his desire to survive: "Please advise!"

Seeing him so sensible, the cultivators of various races around the old man chuckled, showing an expression of 'you've got the hang of it, kid.'

The old man nodded to the Flame Race Moon Jade beside him, who immediately stepped forward, slapped Lu Ye's shoulder, and dragged him to the ship's side, pointing in a direction: "Kid, look over there!"

Lu Ye endured the burning sensation on his shoulder, looked in the direction pointed, his expression slightly stunned.

Because in that direction, there was a domain.

This was quite strange because they were already in the desolate star region. Logically, there shouldn't be any domains here, mostly desolate planets or dead stars and floating lands.

But there was indeed a domain, although it gave Lu Ye the feeling of a very low-level domain. The domain had no intelligent life, and even vegetation was sparse.

In the stellar space, there are many low-level domains like this, which is not surprising to Lu Ye.

However, at this moment, the entire domain was in turmoil, with many places erupting with astonishing force fluctuations visible to the naked eye.

There were even several Tiger Shark battleships cruising outside that domain, continuously unleashing terrifying attacks.

Under these numerous assaults, the entire domain was like a candle in a storm, teetering on the brink of collapse, many places already shattered, large areas missing.

"Go ahead, destroy that domain, and you will be a member of the Divine Wind Group!" The Flame Race Moon Jade slapped Lu Ye's back, a huge force pushing him towards the domain.

Only then did Lu Ye realize why they didn't kill him but captured him alive. They clearly wanted him to do the hard work.

Yet, what was so special about this domain that the Divine Wind Group was willing to destroy it and even deployed a concealing big array before starting?

Lu Ye vaguely felt that there might be some secret here, but at the moment, he had no thoughts of investigating further. Instead, he flew forward following the Flame Race Moon Jade's force, pondering an escape plan.

Before he could break through the opponent's Formation, he couldn't act recklessly. The situation had come to this point, he could only wait and watch.

Such a domain without life, given enough time, could potentially nurture life. But considering this was already within the Yin-Yang Great Millstone's desolate star region, it might not wait for the domain to nurture life before the Yin-Yang Great Millstone expands here.

Soon, Lu Ye arrived within the domain, and sensing up close, he could increasingly confirm this was a very low-level domain, devoid of native life, with even scarce plant life.

He casually chose a direction to land, intending to dawdle, but was clearly under a Mental Consciousness's gaze.

No doubt, it was the Flame Race Moon Jade.

Without choice, Lu Ye could only pull out the Boulder Mountain Saber, channeling spirit force into the blade, swinging it downward.

The saber light like a silk ribbon swept out, crashing onto the ground, causing it to tremble incessantly.

This low-level domain couldn't withstand much disturbance. The Divine Wind Group sent quite a number of cultivators, along with several Tiger Shark battleships.

Lu Ye didn't use full force, displaying only the standard level of a Constellation Late Stage.

Yet even so, he felt this domain would be shattered in two to three days, especially without the opponent's Moon Jade interfering. If the opponent's Moon Jade intervened, the speed would only increase. Regardless of the Divine Wind Group's intentions, Lu Ye felt he had to come up with a way to escape before the domain collapsed.

Actually, directly advancing to Moon Jade wasn't a bad idea. His body had been refined to the extreme, his cultivation reached its limit, he could completely advance to Moon Jade.

As long as his cultivation reached Moon Jade, Lu Ye was confident that even if he couldn't defeat the Moon Jade Late Stage old man, he could certainly escape from his grasp.

But advancing to Moon Jade wasn't something that can be accomplished in an instant, and under the tight surveillance, there's simply no condition for it.

Moreover, Lu Ye wasn't too keen on advancing like this, even though he knew the Yin-Yang Great Millstone was meant for Body Refining. But with the prior advice from the Reincarnation Tree, he felt he might miss something if he didn't check it out first.

His mind was filled with various thoughts, and his actions were dragging. Just as he was about to strike a second blow, a somewhat familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ear: "Young friend, what are you doing here?"

Startled, Lu Ye quickly turned his head to look around, but he saw nothing; there were no signs of anyone nearby.

However, why did this voice sound somewhat... familiar?

While he was feeling suspicious and paranoid, the voice sounded again: "Young friend, come in quickly."

Where to?

Just as Lu Ye was puzzled, the void before him suddenly rippled, and a door unexpectedly manifested.

After a brief moment of surprise, Lu Ye did not hesitate and rushed headlong into the door!

Meanwhile, on the floating fortress starboat from the Divine Wind Group, an elder who noticed something transformed into a streak of light, rushing toward where Lu Ye had just been, arriving in an instant.

But he was ultimately a step too late; by the time he reached there, the door through which Lu Ye had passed had disappeared.

The Flame Race Moon Jade had also followed; he had been watching Lu Ye the whole time and clearly knew what had happened there. His gaze was intense: "Master, there is indeed a secret realm hidden here!"

Before the door appeared, he hadn't noticed a thing and was unaware if there were any benefits here at all. Everything was done as per the elder's orders; he was just following commands.

The elder said calmly, "My judgment can't be wrong, but it's strange that this human youth was guided inside..."

This was indeed peculiar.

They were trying to destroy the domain here, intending to force the beings hiding in this secret realm to reveal themselves. The other party had always ignored them, but unexpectedly exposed themselves for the sake of a human youth.

What was so special about the other person? It couldn't just be that they were acquaintances.

If that were the case, it would be too coincidental.

The elder sneered repeatedly: "Pass down the order to strengthen the attack; I want this domain destroyed within two days!"

"Yes!" The Flame Race Moon Jade took the order and quickly relayed it. The Divine Wind Group's attacks became more ferocious.

At this time, Lu Ye had already arrived in a secret realm through the door that had suddenly appeared.

As far as the eye could see, there was an endless sea of flowers stretching to the horizon, brilliantly vibrant. Above the sea of flowers stood huge mushrooms, and there were towering trees scattered about.

Leaving aside the sea of flowers, the giant mushrooms looked familiar to Lu Ye as if he had seen them somewhere before.

Lifting his gaze, two massive figures came into view.

Lu Ye glanced at them and momentarily lost his composure: "It's really you two, huh?"

These two massive figures were one that looked like an ancient tree that had gained sentience, surrounded by pure wood energy, exuding a vibrant feeling. The other, equally imposing, had a mushroom cap on its head, resembling a giant open umbrella.

These two giants were actually Mu He, the Clan Leader of the Wood Spirit Race, and Black Umbrella, the Clan Leader of the Spore Race!

Back then, guided by the Reincarnation Tree, Lu Ye went to the Blue Jade World to help them resolve a crisis. Later, he even helped them migrate their clan into the Tree World of the Reincarnation Tree.

However, since the Tree World of the Reincarnation Tree could only accommodate beings of the Divine Sea and below, the star beings of both clans began searching for a new home.

Since then, Lu Ye hadn't seen them, so he naturally didn't know how they were doing.

He never expected to meet them again in such a place!

The only difference from the feeling they gave Lu Ye before was that now both Mu He and Black Umbrella had advanced to the Moon Jade stage, and the aura they exuded was unmistakably that of Moon Jade.

The one who had spoken to Lu Ye earlier was undoubtedly Mu He.

"Young friend, we meet again." Mu He smiled slightly, while Black Umbrella greeted him as well.

Lu Ye nodded, just about to speak, when he suddenly saw another figure flash from behind Mu He, looking utterly surprised: "You... why are you here too?"

The figure that flashed from behind Mu He was a woman whom Lu Ye recognized.

It was Hua Qianying, who had once set up a stall at the flea market on All Phenomena Island and was later recruited by Lu Ye to Unparalleled Island. A while ago, she had gone missing!

When Three Worlds Island was initially taking shape, Lu Ye had gone looking for her, hoping to recruit her to Three Worlds Island to give pointers in alchemy to Hua Ci and Senior Sister Shui Yuan. However, he couldn't find her.

Even sending messages through audio talismans yielded no response.

Lu Ye guessed that Hua Qianying might have left All Phenomena Ocean and felt regretful for a while.

Never did he expect to see her here!
