Sage of Humanity
Chapter 2052 - 2050: Ma Shangsi Ascends to Sun Blaze
It seems that the fusion of the Blood Termination World and the Blood Refinement World has produced some mystical changes, allowing Ma Shangsi to have some insights. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be so coincidentally timed.
Compared to the two sisters from the Snow Race, he is the true Blood Race; this fusion of the two realms has brought him great benefits.
If that’s the case...
Lu Ye flicked his finger, and two drops of treasure blood flew out, heading in Ma Shangsi’s direction.
Previously attacked by Charng Feng, the treasure blood was consumed utterly, but now the condensation of treasure blood is much simpler than before. After such a long time, Lu Ye certainly re-condensed it.
Moreover, this is treasure blood not tainted by the black fruit’s aura, which Ma Shangsi can entirely absorb and refine.
The Blood Race’s promotion mainly involves understanding their bloodline; these two drops of treasure blood will undoubtedly help Ma Shangsi greatly, allowing his saintliness to become more potent after promoting to Sun Blaze.
The treasure blood flew toward Ma Shangsi, soon engulfed by him, followed by suppressed screams coming from that direction, sounding extremely painful.
But whether it’s Xiang Yin and her sister or Dhing Beifeng, they all gazed enviously at Ma Shangsi from different positions.
Sun Blaze...is also their goal. Although the several Blood Servants do not openly clash, they covertly compete, especially after Lu Ye promoted to Sun Blaze; they have become less useful these months. At such a moment, whoever promotes to Sun Blaze first will undoubtedly be more valued by Lu Ye.
Lu Ye hasn’t bestowed treasure blood upon them for a long time because, regarding saintliness’s intensity, these Blood Servants are stronger than most Blood Race Sun Blaze and entirely sufficient.
This time, the bestowal is to aid Ma Shangsi in better promoting and breaking through.
After watching for a while, Xiang Yin pulled Xuan Yu into the retreat room with a firm expression, clearly stimulated.
Ma Shangsi’s promotion was thrilling but safe; two days later, he flew to Lu Ye, full of excitement, kneeling, "This humble servant thanks the Lord for his support!"
The Blood Race succeeds and fails by their bloodline; unless they possess extraordinarily special talent, Blood Race members cannot promote to Sun Blaze without saintliness!
And to possess saintliness, one must refine Sacred Blood.
But with so many Blood Clan Members, Sacred Blood is limited, tightly controlled by the top level, so ordinary members have no chance to obtain Sacred Blood.
Years ago, Ma Shangsi ventured to the Yin-Yang Great Millstone because he saw no hope of gaining Sacred Blood, hoping to use external force to promote.
He ended up encountering Lu Ye there and was subdued by him.
Today, he finally breaks through as he wished; it can be said that without Lu Ye, he would still be stuck at Moon Jade, with no hope of breakthrough in this lifetime.
But now things are different; Sun Blaze is not his end; he has further potential because the saintliness bestowed by Lu Ye far exceeds ordinary Sun Blaze.
Lu Ye casually raised his hand, "Get up."
"Thank the Lord!" Ma Shangsi hurriedly stood up, unable to hide his joy.
"I remember you mentioned you’re from the Blood Jade World?" Lu Ye asked slowly.
Lu Ye had, of course, looked into Ma Shangsi’s background, but back then, it was just casual questioning, and Ma Shangsi casually answered, neither of them taking it to heart.
Lu Ye bringing it up now naturally had a reason.
"Yes." Ma Shangsi nodded, "This humble servant is from the Blood Jade World."
"If I plan to target the Blood Jade World, would you assist me?"
Ma Shangsi paused, then knelt on one knee again, speaking with confidence, "Where the Lord’s orders point, this humble servant shall follow, never failing the Lord’s cultivation!"
Recently, he had been getting along well with Dhing Beifeng and had naturally learned about the various events in the Blood Termination World from Dhing Beifeng. So he clearly understood what fate would befall the Blood Jade World if Lu Ye targeted it.
And he knew exactly how to answer to satisfy Lu Ye.
Now, he is no longer just any Blood Race from the Blood Jade World but Lu Ye’s Blood Servant, his honor and disgrace closely tied to Lu Ye.
Lu Ye nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, prepare yourself; in a few days, accompany me on a trip outside."
"Yes!" Ma Shangsi replied, bowing and retreating.
Lu Ye looked up and saw many cultivators from the Nine Provinces setting out, installing Heaven’s Augury Pillars throughout the Blood Termination areas. Clearly, Number Nine has started to devour Blood Termination’s resources.
In comparison, the strength of Blood Termination World’s resources is unmatched by the Jade Conch World, and once Blood Termination World’s resources are devoured, Nine Provinces will undoubtedly grow significantly.
Meanwhile, the world-merging of the Jade Conch World is proceeding in sync.
In a few years, Nine Provinces will surely undergo delightful changes.
Lu Ye flickered back to Mount Fangcun, found where the gathering was of the Dwarf Race Sun Blaze, and shared his plans.
Chen Xuanhai was puzzled, "Junior Brother decided to take action against the Blood Jade World?"
Blood Jade World is not unfamiliar to them; even if they haven’t been there, they have heard of it. After all, the Dwarf Race has huge hatred against the Blood Race and always has insights into the Blood Race’s intelligence.
Years ago, after conquering the Blood Termination World, Lu Ye had asked the Sun Blaze from the Western Region if they would pass through any Blood Race Star System on their way back. If so, they could re-enact the conquering of the Blood Termination World.
It’s a pity that the answer received was negative, so Lu Ye gave up on this idea.
However, during the last battle with Zixuan, when the Western Sun Blaze came to assist, Zhang Kun privately told Lu Ye something about the Blood Jade World, which greatly intrigued him.
But at that time, he hadn’t made up his mind, because if he really wanted to target the Blood Jade World, it would consume a lot of time and also delay the process of Western integration.
But now it seems that if he can bring the Blood Jade World to the Nine Provinces, firstly, it can enhance the foundation of the Nine Provinces; secondly, it can perfect the body of the Blood Ancestor; and thirdly, targeting the Blood Race is most welcomed by the Dwarf Race.
With all these reasons, even if it requires some time and effort as a cost, it is worth it.
This is why Lu Ye made up his mind.
"Indeed, this is a rare opportunity, and if missed, such convenient conditions may not appear again." Lu Ye nodded.
Chen Xuanhai understood his meaning because he was present when Zhang Kun discussed this matter with Lu Ye. He agreed, "Junior Brother is right. The current position of the Western Region is very good. If you want to act against the Blood Jade World, then Junior Brother may have to go over there soon; later it might be too late."
"I will set off tomorrow." Lu Ye had already decided.
Chen Xuanhai nodded, "Alright, we’ll be on standby here, and Junior Brother can summon us anytime."
The Dwarf Race is extremely enthusiastic when it comes to targeting the Blood Race. If there is any race happiest about the extermination of the Blood Race, it must be the Dwarf Race.
After a brief discussion, Lu Ye quickly left.
No one would have imagined that these few words could determine the future of a domain, and the fate awaiting the Blood Jade World will inevitably be extinction.
Leaving Mount Fangcun, Lu Ye returned to All Phenomena Ocean to collect a large amount of spirit jade and elixir pills.
The journey is far, and it will take a considerable amount of time. He cannot afford to be idle, so taking some spirit jade and elixir pills can allow him to cultivate anytime and not waste precious time.
The next day, Lu Ye appeared again in Mount Fangcun, accompanied by only one person, Ma Shangsi.
Upon that gigantic Teleportation Array, the master and servant stood quietly. Lu Ye closed his eyes and focused, leveraging his position as the master of Mount Fangcun to activate the Array’s power.
In an instant, light enveloped them.
When the light dissipated, Lu Ye and Ma Shangsi were gone.
Elsewhere, in the Western Mount Fangcun, the master and servant appeared.
Beside the Array stood six figures, unmistakably the six Sun Blaze of the Western Region: Zhang Kun, Weng Xiong, Lowe Zhen, Ran Dongsheng, Ran Qiuye, and Li Wanning.
Among the three parts of Mount Fangcun, the Western Region has the most Sun Blaze and the Eastern Region the least. This seems related to the territory size because comparatively, the Western area is almost twice as large as the Eastern one; when Mount Fangcun fractured, it wasn’t evenly divided into three parts.
Among these six Sun Blaze, Ran Dongsheng and Ran Qiuye are a sibling pair, which is rare at such a level because the emergence of Sun Blaze is not easy, and the chance for siblings to both ascend to Sun Blaze is very small.
Among the six Sun Blaze, Lu Ye has seen everyone except Li Wanning; he met the other five in the previous battle with Zixuan, and only Li Wanning remained to guard the place.
"Hahaha, Junior Brother Lu, we’ve been awaiting your arrival eagerly," Zhang Kun laughed and greeted.
Weng Xiong also spoke, "Junior Brother, had you delayed further, we were considering going to the Eastern Region to fetch you."
Lu Ye cupped his fists in gesture, "I apologize for any concern I caused to my senior brothers and sisters."
Ran Qiuye, who appeared as a very knowledgeable woman, spoke, "Junior Brother, having come from afar, we have prepared a simple banquet. Please, Junior Brother, follow us."
Lu Ye replied, "We are family, sister, no need for formalities. Let’s discuss business first, and we’ll celebrate after the deed is done."
Such a familial designation made the Western Sun Blaze very pleased. Lowe Zhen nodded promptly, "In that case, let’s handle the business first."
As he said this, he took out something resembling a sphere, activated it with magical force, and immediately a virtual map appeared before everyone, looking like a miniature stellar space.
Lowe Zhen pointed, and a light spot appeared on the map: "Junior Brother, please look; this is where we are presently located."
He pointed to another location: "This is where the Insect Path is located."
Lu Ye gazed intently, quickly understanding: "We don’t seem very far from the Insect Path. If we change direction and head there, how long will it take to reach it?"
"About three months."
"That’s indeed not too far."
"Exactly. That’s why it’s a rare opportunity. After thorough verification and exploration, we’ve confirmed it’s a chance. However, without Junior Brother’s contribution, it cannot be accomplished."
"I understand!"
The return route for the Western Region indeed does not pass any Blood Race domain, making it challenging to recreate the scenario from when they attacked the Blood Termination World because, back then, the Southern Region passed through the Blood Termination Galaxy. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
But if the Western Mount Fangcun goes through that Insect Path, there’s an opportunity. That Insect Path is connected to a star system neighboring the Blood Jade Galaxy.
