In the bamboo building, Tang Jun drained his teacup in one gulp, moistening his lips, then continued, "For the past year, there's been a rumor going around that our Three Worlds Island has been particularly lucky. During the confrontation with Zixuan, it just so happened that their protective array was unstable, and then you broke through it. If Zixuan's protective array had been intact, even if our forces were multiplied several times, we wouldn't have succeeded."

As he spoke, he looked up at Lu Ye, "Why was Zixuan's array unstable? There were many people observing from a distance at the time, saying that before the array was breached, the entire Zixuan Island turned into a glowing sphere. That's clearly a sign that the energy stored within the array was overloaded, forcing it to operate at maximum capacity! It was already at a critical point, even needing to tear open a gap to release excess energy. In that moment, you charged in, leaving Hu Guang unable to maintain the array, which led to its demise. You could say that Zixuan's array collapse was entirely due to internal reasons. But even though it's a top-class Spirit Island, could it really have stored up that much energy?"

"Then I recalled something else. Before Zixuan's big array was broken, you asked me about some matters, and I told you various things, including the top-class Spirit Island, Illusory Sea Island. Illusory Sea Island's protective array had once been deactivated because the energy stored on the island had exceeded what the array could bear. In a way, Zixuan's array collapse has many similarities with that. Isn't it a bit too coincidental, young man?"

"It is indeed quite a coincidence," Lu Ye nodded.

Tang Jun gazed at him deeply, hesitating before finally speaking, "Well, I only came to tell you that while there are many fools in this world, there are also many smart people. You have always done things in an unexpected way, employing means beyond ordinary imagination, but sometimes you still need to be a bit cautious. Now that Three Worlds Island has the backing of Cheling World, there is no worry for the time being, but some things may be more tempting than a top-class Spirit Island."

"I understand," Lu Ye nodded.

If others knew he could create Spirit Islands at will, even top-class ones, the current peaceful situation would surely be disrupted.

Some rules are adhered to by everyone because there hasn't been a benefit great enough to justify breaking them. If such a benefit arose, those rules would no longer hold.

This vast cultivation world is ultimately one where strength reigns supreme.

"As long as you understand," Old Tang said, preparing to leave.

He'd originally intended to probe further, but now there was no need to ask too directly.

"I'm preparing to make a trip back to the Jade Conch Galaxy," Lu Ye suddenly announced. "Do you have any arrangements on your side?"

Having advanced to the Moon Jade Late Stage and not needing to urgently continue cultivation, Lu Ye wanted to understand the mysteries of the Qi Flower. His return to his home galaxy was incidental; his main aim was to visit Xuyuan and inquire about the Secret of the Three Blossoms.

Su Yuqing might know something as well, given the ancient lineage of the Dwarf Race. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

And when he returned now, he wouldn't have to worry about any immediate threats. In the short term, even if he's not on Three Worlds Island, there won't be any wars.

Besides, he also needed to somewhat keep an eye on the Southern Region's Mount Fangcun and see if there's anything where he could lend a hand.

"There's nothing much to arrange, just take some spirit jade with you, and also bring more people over."

"Alright!" Lu Ye nodded. "I'll check with Senior Brother He and see what the Jade Conch World needs."

Everyone was already accustomed to Lu Ye leaving from time to time, also knowing he now had some special method to rapidly commute between his home galaxy and the All Phenomena Ocean. As for the nature of this method, no one had figured it out yet. It wasn't the original route because that took far too long.

Even with Lu Ye's cultivation being what it is now, the journey on the original route would still take at least three years.

After Tang Jun left, Lu Ye went to find He Baichuan to ask if there were any arrangements for the Jade Conch side.

He Baichuan also had nothing specific to arrange, only echoing Tang Jun's advice to bring back more spirit jade and resources, and gather more manpower.

Three Worlds Island now had more resources than it could use, so they might as well send them back to the Jade Conch Galaxy to help the cultivators in his home galaxy grow better and faster.

Now that Three Worlds Island has transformed into a top-class Spirit Island, it indeed needs more manpower to garrison, and all cultivators arriving will see a tremendous boost in their cultivation efficiency.

Before leaving, Lu Ye visited the merfolk territory beneath the sea to check on Hua Ci.

A couple of days later, Three Worlds Island had prepared all the resources and spirit jade to take back to the Jade Conch Galaxy, and Lu Ye embarked on his return journey.

Using the Insect Path of the Cangyue Galaxy, he entered the Cangyue Galaxy, following the sensation of the seven-color Divine Lotus in the Divine Sea to a precise spot, leaping directly into the Soul Race ancestral land.

Lu Ye headed straight for the seven-color Lotus Land where Xuyuan resided and soon reached his destination.

Xuyuan was no longer surprised by Lu Ye's mysterious comings and goings, and even welcomed him a little because it's dreadfully boring guarding this place for years on end.

With Lu Ye here, at least he had someone to talk to for a while.

This time, Lu Ye was not only passing through but had questions he wanted to ask Xuyuan. As soon as they met, he brought up the doubts in his mind.

After listening, Xuyuan asked, "Do you feel that no matter how much you continue your cultivation, it doesn't help at all in refining the Qi Flower?"

"Yes," Lu Ye nodded.

"Is your Mana pure enough?" Xuyuan asked. Only by reaching the peak of a realm can one cultivate the corresponding Three Blossoms. For the Moon Jade Realm, qi cultivation requires the purity of Mana as an essential condition.

"Definitely enough." Lu Ye was quite confident about this.

"That's strange then..." Xuyuan showed a pensive expression, "Could it be that you felt it wrong? If you continue to cultivate, when you reach the Peak Moon Jade, the Qi Flower could naturally condense?"

Lu Ye shook his head and said, "Though I haven't reached the Peak Moon Jade yet, that feeling should not be mistaken." He paused, then asked, "Elder, you mentioned before that the Three Blossoms are related to the secret of transcendence. Transcend what?"

Xuyuan spread his hands: "I don't know either."

Lu Ye looked at him, speechless.

Xuyuan said, "Our Soul Race has a special constitution, without even blood Qi, purely a gathering of Soul Power, so it is impossible for us to produce Body Flower and Qi Flower, at most maybe the Divine Flower. The theory of the Three Blossoms is ancient oral tradition, and our Soul Race rarely interacts with the outside world, so I truly don't know what exactly is transcended."

Lu Ye couldn't help but show a look of disappointment. Xuyuan was the first to mention the theory of the Three Blossoms to him. He originally thought he could get some answers from here, but now he realized he was naive.

Suddenly he realized something was off: "Elder, the Soul Race has no flesh and blood body, how do they cultivate in the Constellation Realm?" The Constellation Realm, after all, is cultivation of essence.

Xuyuan smiled and said, "Beings with flesh and blood bodies naturally need to cultivate their physique. The Soul Race doesn't, so they follow a path of pure Soul Power cultivation. In this world, it's not just us Soul Race that have no fleshly body; there are other races too, and each race has its own way of adapting. It's not like not having a fleshly body cuts off the path of cultivation."

Lu Ye understood.

"I will ask the Clan Leader your question later, perhaps he might know something," Xuyuan shifted the topic.

"Where is the Clan Leader?"

"The Clan Leader is currently not in the ancestral land, unknown when he will return."

Lu Ye replied helplessly, "Alright then, let me know if you get an answer."

Not getting any substantial answers from Xuyuan, Lu Ye had to leave and continue on his journey.

Utilizing the stellar space pond, he leapt into the Jade Conch Galaxy, heading towards Nine Provinces.

Since Xuyuan didn't have answers, he had to rely on the Dwarf Race here. If even the Dwarf Race had no answers, Lu Ye could only seek help from the Reincarnation Tree!

Looking at the stellar space, if anyone was the most knowledgeable, it would definitely be the Reincarnation Tree. Back then, it was Tree Elder who secretly guided him to visit the Yin-Yang Great Millstone before advancing to Moon Jade, although Tree Elder didn't make things clear, since Lu Ye's cultivation was insufficient at that time, Tree Elder was also unsure if he could reach that level.

From this perspective, Tree Elder must know the secret of the Three Blossoms, and maybe he could clarify the current problem.

Lu Ye still had a mark from the Reincarnation Tree. Once activated, it would transport him to the Reincarnation Tree, but this thing was extremely precious, once used, it would be gone forever. Lu Ye was reluctant to use it unless it was absolutely necessary.

The last time he managed to replenish it was because Tree Elder actively summoned him for help, so before he left, another mark was added for him.

If he went for personal matters, he probably wouldn't get such treatment.

Returning to Nine Provinces, Lu Ye headed straight to the Governor's Hall to find the current Governor, then took out a large pile of storage rings he had brought back.

It wasn't the first time he brought cultivation resources back from All Phenomena Ocean, only this time he brought back more than before.

These resources weren't all for the Nine Provinces cultivators. After leaving a portion here, the rest needed to be sent to Qingli Dao World and Jade Conch World.

These did not require his processing, as inter-domain exchanges among the Three Worlds cultivators within the home galaxy were still frequent, and someone else would naturally handle the delivery to the other domains.

However, considering the slow pace of the Constellation, Lu Ye was planning to send his Blood Servant on an errand. Xiang Yin and Xuan Yu, along with Dhing Beifeng, had been staying around Nine Provinces anyway.

After delivering the resources, they could bring back cultivators from the other two domains, which shouldn't take much time.

This time, he planned to take fifteen hundred people to All Phenomena Ocean, dividing the quota evenly among the Three Worlds, meaning each domain would dispatch five hundred people.

It's not that he didn't want to take more; rather, the capacity of the Small Flower World was limited and couldn't accommodate that many people.

After years, Lu Ye was about to lead people to All Phenomena Ocean again, sparking excitement among the Nine Provinces Constellation. What All Phenomena Ocean was like, none of them knew, as no one had been there, and their understanding was only pieced together from Lu Ye's bits and pieces.

But considering that Lu Ye could bring back so many resources from All Phenomena Ocean, in the imaginations of many cultivators, All Phenomena Ocean must be an incredibly abundant place.

Even though staying in Nine Provinces currently means no lack of cultivation resources, the enthusiasm of the Constellations for All Phenomena Ocean was still high. So upon news spreading, Constellations from all over Nine Provinces began gathering towards the Governor's Hall.
