Sage of Humanity-Chapter 1815 - 1813: Monumental Merit

At the core, Lu Ye sighed.

In the past, by this time, Number Nine would have already contacted him, but this time upon returning, there was no message from Number Nine.

He didn’t think Number Nine had encountered any accident. If something had happened to Number Nine, the Nine Provinces would surely be in chaos.

Number Nine is probably indulged in the company of Little Flower Girl now...

But this is a good thing, at least Number Nine won’t be lonely anymore.

Soon, they were beside the Nine Provinces. As always, Lu Ye’s whereabouts were instantly detected by the Nine Provinces Constellation responsible for patrolling nearby. Upon seeing it was Lu Ye, they immediately lowered their guard and continued their patrol after greeting him.

Initially, when Lu Ye returned from the All Phenomena Ocean, the Constellations of the Nine Provinces were incredibly excited and expectant. However, as he left and returned more frequently, they all became accustomed to it.

For Constellations like them, cultivating and becoming stronger is always the primary task. Since the Nine Provinces don’t have their own Spirit Jade Vein, they can only delve deeper into the stellar space to search for spirit jade, refine a certain amount of it, and use it as nourishment for their growth.

The core stops, observes from afar, and is not unusual. In fact, if an uninformed cultivator were to encounter the core in stellar space, they wouldn’t give it a second glance because such things are so common in stellar space.

But this is the core of Mount Fangcun. The Dwarf Race of the three divisions of Mount Fangcun have been striving for countless years to recover this core, and today, the dust has settled.

Looking down at the core beneath his feet, Lu Ye’s mind stirred, and he gently stomped his foot.

The core trembled slightly, and a mystical force spread out, as if some restriction was being broken.

Indeed, it was a restriction being broken. Before Lu Ye took the core out of the marvel of the Illusory Blood Devil’s Eye, he had imposed a restriction using his status as the Origin Lord.

The function of this restriction is singular, which is to generate an isolating force similar to the marvel, preventing the three divisions of Mount Fangcun from merging with the core.

The reason for doing so was because of considering the numerous changes in the subsequent journey. Without placing a restriction, once Lu Ye took the core out of the marvel, the three divisions of Mount Fangcun would immediately merge toward the core.

This would undoubtedly be detrimental to the stability of Mount Fangcun.

Until this moment, returning to the vicinity of the Nine Provinces, Lu Ye lifted this restriction.

Although he couldn’t see the current state of the three divisions of Mount Fangcun, Lu Ye still had predictions, and what’s next is a long wait.

Currently, the three divisions of Mount Fangcun are very far from the core position, and merging is not a matter of a day or two.

Almost at the same time as Lu Ye lifted the restriction on Mount Fangcun, in a certain illusory grand hall, various Sun Blaze projections fluctuated. More than half of them vanished without a trace in that instant, while the remaining ones, though still maintained, were also distorted and transformed to varying degrees.

Such abnormal occurrences are undoubtedly caused by intense vibrations in the different divisions of Mount Fangcun. Their physical bodies are within each division, projecting their psyche here. The violent tremors of their home divisions impacted these projections.

A short while later, the disappearing figures reassembled.

A Sun Blaze from the Southern Region exclaimed, "Everyone, just now, our division of Mount Fangcun suddenly changed its moving direction again, swiftly heading straight for a certain position, and at an unprecedented speed!"

From the Eastern Region, Chen Xuanhai added, "The same in the Eastern Region!"

Both divisions of Sun Blaze looked towards the Western Region, where Zhang Kun spoke, "It’s the same in the Western Region!"

As he spoke, a group of Sun Blaze all felt a sense of excitement and anticipation through their respective psychic waves, for they realized that the critical moment to change the fragmentation of Mount Fangcun seemed to have arrived!

A few days ago, the moving trajectories of the three divisions of Mount Fangcun suddenly showed significant changes, leading to speculation that the core’s position had changed dramatically, which caused the change in the trajectories.

They gathered here to discuss how to deduce the current specific location of the core.

Who would have thought that before they could discuss a result, another change would occur.

And this time is clearly different from the last! Not only did the moving trajectories change directly, but the moving speed of Mount Fangcun also changed, as if the three divisions of Mount Fangcun were being pulled by some force...

This has never happened before, which inevitably led them to indulge in many reveries.

"Let’s deduce! Let’s see if the current moving directions of the divisions will converge at a point; if they do..." A Sun Blaze spoke with a solemn tone, but everyone understood what it would mean for the Dwarf Race if the moving trajectories of the three divisions of Mount Fangcun had a convergence point.

Concerning the future of the tribe, none of the Sun Blaze had objections and immediately started the busy task of deduction.

The three divisions of Mount Fangcun have so far wandered in different parts of stellar space. Their understanding of the entire stellar space is unmatched by any other race. They have almost complete star maps of each major star system. Based on the current positions and the moving directions of their divisions, they can simply deduce when their division will pass by which star system in the next several decades to a century!

There might be some margin of error, but it won’t be too large.

Sun Blaze projections constantly disappeared and reappeared. The group of Sun Blaze busied themselves for half a day, gradually deducing the moving routes of the three divisions of Mount Fangcun.

When the three routes were placed together, everyone concentrated on observing, and their gaze soon converged on an intersection point!

"Jade Conch Galaxy!" Su Yuqing’s eyes lit up, murmuring.

From the intelligence gathered so far, if the three divisions of Mount Fangcun do not change their direction, sooner or later they will pass through this Jade Conch Galaxy.

And Jade Conch... she was too familiar with this name.

"Is the core here now?" a Sun Blaze inquired.

"Does anyone know about this Jade Conch?" another Sun Blaze asked. In the vast stellar space with countless star systems, even they, as Sun Blaze, dared not claim familiarity with each one. They mostly knew about the more famous systems, and this Jade Conch seemed too inconspicuous to attract their attention.

Even Woo Qimo and Chen Xuanhai showed contemplative expressions. Although the Eastern Mount Fangcun indeed passed through Jade Conch, they never bothered to understand it, so naturally, they hadn’t heard of it.

Only Su Yuqing slowly spoke, "Jade Conch is the star system where Lu Ye was born!"

A group of Sun Blaze immediately turned their gazes, one speaking boldly, "Lu Ye is that little Dao companion of Junior Sister?"

Before the words were finished, another Sun Blaze beside him slapped apart his psyche projection...

Although it was no longer a secret that Su Yuqing in the East had found a young Dao companion, and Su Yuqing herself didn’t shy away from confirming it, no one brought it up in front of her. After all, they were all Sun Blaze, all cared about saving face. If she were a man, being an older person with a younger partner would be nothing, but Su Yuqing was a woman, and such matters were delicate to discuss and rather unpleasant to hear.

"Yes!" Su Yuqing’s expression remained unchanged, "The domain where he was born is called the Nine Heavens. The Nine Heavens World is within the Jade Conch Galaxy, moreover..."

"Moreover, what?"

"When he came from the All Phenomena Ocean to my East, I spoke with him about the core matter. He asked me if, after finding the core, it could be placed near the Nine Heavens, so that Mount Fangcun could merge there."

"This kid... cough, Junior Brother Lu intends to have Mount Fangcun shield the Nine Heavens?" a Sun Blaze perceived Lu Ye’s intention.

"That seems to be the idea. From what I know, the Nine Heavens only recently ascended to a large-scale domain, its foundation is still very weak," Su Yuqing replied.

The Sun Blaze fell silent.

After a long pause, Zhang Kun slapped his thigh, "Good kid, he really pulled it off!"

The situation was very clear. Lu Ye had found the core and brought it back to Jade Conch, which was why the three divisions of Mount Fangcun were being drawn towards Jade Conch under the core’s influence.

For Zhang Kun, who personally took Lu Ye there, this matter seemed almost unbelievable, as throughout history, the Dwarf Race had dispatched numerous foreign Moon Jade to search for the core, investing immense effort in nurturing many of them.

But so far, none had succeeded; they either disappeared without a trace or returned with nothing, having not even glimpsed the core.

After so many years and so much effort without any result, Lu Ye accomplished it in just a few years?

Just three years, yet he retrieved the core!

No matter how you look at it, this is a huge celebration for the Dwarf Race. The three divisions had been awaiting this moment for many years, each anticipation ending in disappointment. No one expected the surprise to come so suddenly, leaving even these Sun Blaze at a loss.

"Junior Sister’s choice in a husband is indeed exceptional!" a Sun Blaze couldn’t help but praise.

Regardless of any ’older person with a younger partner’ speculation, no matter Lu Ye’s potential, aptitude, or cultivation, just helping the Dwarf Race recover the core was a monumental feat.

Even if Lu Ye were a waste, the Dwarf Race here would have to take good care of him in the future.

A Sun Blaze from the Western Region chuckled, "Perhaps you all aren’t aware, but our Junior Brother Lu is also famous on the All Phenomena Ocean. He currently leads a group of cultivators occupying a Three Worlds Island there, a high-class Spirit Island, and even led his followers to conquer another high-class Spirit Island. In that battle, the enemy Moon Jade was completely wiped out, even when a Sun Blaze governor tried to intervene, he was badly humiliated by Lu Ye."

The audience of Sun Blaze, hearing this, couldn’t help but show expressions of surprise.

They all understood what it meant to occupy a high-class Spirit Island in a place like the All Phenomena Ocean. Generally, high-class Spirit Islands were the exclusive cravings of top forces, and without some skill and ability, one couldn’t occupy it, and even if one did, it wouldn’t last long.

Let alone forcefully conquering another high-class Spirit Island, which was countless times harder than merely holding onto one.

The Sun Blaze suddenly realized they might have underestimated this junior brother’s capabilities.

Otherwise, how else could he accomplish in three years what no one else did for so many? It undoubtedly showcased his enormous capabilities.

"Congratulations to Junior Sister for choosing an excellent husband, rendering great service to our race!"

"Once the three divisions merge, Junior Sister must introduce us properly to Junior Brother Lu."

...

A chorus of praise arose, Su Yuqing smiled gracefully, feeling a sense of honor, and the heavy worry held tight for three years finally eased entirely.
