"Very good! Hahaha!" Tianyu laughed heartily, feeling exceptionally delighted. Although, as a Saintly Venerable, countless Blood Race members wished to follow him, subjugating a Sun Blaze like Ma Shangsi as a follower was indeed a hard-won achievement.

After all, in the entire Blood Jade World, there were only a few Sun Blaze individuals. He privately rejoiced for acting swiftly; otherwise, if other Saintly Venerables saw Ma Shangsi, there would be no chance for him to intervene.

"Let’s go, follow me back to the territory. Today is indeed a good day!" Tianyu gestured, leading Ma Shangsi and Lu Ye toward his domain.

All domains of the Blood Race are predominantly patterned on major Saintly Venerables allocating their own territories. Basically, each Saintly Venerable with adequate strength has their own domain, and Tianyu, having reached the Peak Moon Jade, naturally has one too.

Ma Shangsi quietly glanced at Lu Ye, seeking his opinion, and Lu Ye subtly nodded.

His trip to the Blood Jade World was mainly to probe the situation of the insect hive, and earlier, Tianyu actually emerged from the insect hive, clearly aware of some inside information; hence, following Tianyu is indeed a wise choice.

Having followed Lu Ye for many years, Ma Shangsi naturally discerned his intentions. Therefore, on the way following Tianyu to the territory, he proactively asked on behalf of Lu Ye, "Saintly Venerable, what is the situation with the insect hive?"

The Insect and Blood Races occasionally have exchanges, but deploying the insect hive beside the Blood Race World suffices to be an uncommon occurrence.

Upon hearing this, Tianyu frowned, originally intending not to say much; however, considering he just recruited Ma Shangsi, and Ma Shangsi was ultimately a Sun Blaze, destined to become a capable officer under his command in the future, he patiently explained: "I am not clear on the specifics. I heard my father say that the Insect Race envoy mainly wants to discuss with our Blood Race the response to the arrival of the Great Event."

"Arrival of the Great Event?" Ma Shangsi revealed a surprised look, while behind him, Lu Ye’s expression subtly changed.

The so-called Great Event, he found sporadic records at Haichuan Tower of the Sky Asura Race, but what exactly this event entails, he truly does not know.

Yet now, the Insect Race wants to discuss this matter with the Blood Race, clearly indicating its significance.

Tianyu said: "I don’t know the specific circumstances, maybe my father knows something. You don’t need to inquire further; knowledge will come when the time arrives."

"Yes." Ma Shangsi replied helplessly, as a follower, since Tianyu said so, he naturally could only remain silent.

Suddenly, Tianyu spoke again: "This event should be significant. Five days later, numerous Sun Blaze Saintly Venerables of the Blood Race will gather at Horizon Pavilion to discuss the matter with the Insect Race envoy. I should have the qualification to attend, and by then, I’ll take you in to listen."

This was undoubtedly Tianyu’s way of garnering favor, expressing his appreciation for Ma Shangsi.

Ma Shangsi displayed a posture of deep gratitude: "Thank you, Saintly Venerable!"

The journey was silent from then on, and the trio soon arrived at Tianyu’s territory, which turned out to be quite expansive for a Moon Jade Saintly Venerable’s domain.

Tianyu settled Ma Shangsi on a spirit mountaintop before hurriedly leaving, appearing to have other matters to attend to.

The spirit mountaintop housed extensive structures, seemingly a short-stay palace belonging to Tianyu, now bestowed upon Ma Shangsi, populated with many Blood Race members and Blood Slaves.

While Ma Shangsi was organizing his affairs, in the Western Region at Mount Fangcun, Zhang Kun raised his eyebrows: "Arrival of the Great Event?"

He turned to look at the other Sun Blaze members of the Dwarf Race: "Has anyone heard of this before?"

Everyone shook their heads, clearly unaware, except for Lu Ye who spoke: "I did see some similar records in one place, but they were vague. I only know the Great Event’s arrival is a catastrophe." Speaking, he glanced at everyone: "And if not mistaken, Blood Ancestor shattering Mount Fangcun is related to the Great Event’s arrival!"

Haichuan Tower’s scattered records mentioned this!

And sitting here, Lu Ye wasn’t his true self, but merely his Talent Tree avatar left here. Thus, any intelligence the true self obtained could be shared with the Talent Tree avatar at any time.

Upon hearing this, the numerous Sun Blaze members of the Dwarf Race became solemn.

Blood Ancestor shattering Mount Fangcun, for the Dwarf Race, is indeed a historical turning point and a major grievance for the entire race.

Chen Xuanhai spoke: "If that is the case, it wouldn’t be surprising if we were unaware."

The Dwarf Race is a long-standing lineage, under Mount Fangcun’s protection; even after division, the race has never encountered significant catastrophe in all these years, leaving records on major stellar space events and changes.

Yet, Blood Ancestor’s shattering of Mount Fangcun is too distant, tracing back hundreds of thousands of years; how can they know such matters related to the Great Event’s arrival?

"In five days, the Blood Race’s Sun Blaze and the Insect Race envoy will meet at a place called Horizon Pavilion to deliberate affairs, perhaps revealing some intelligence," Lu Ye said, "Moreover, it’s an opportunity."

Chen Xuanhai nodded: "Indeed, it’s a good opportunity."

Originally intending to tackle the Sun Blazes of the Blood Jade World, it might consume effort, as these Sun Blazes are typically scattered in their domains, hard to eliminate all at once.

But if they gather together, it simplifies the task.

The Insect Race’s Sun Blaze is here too!

"Action in five days?" Lu Ye asked.

"Action in five days!" Chen Xuanhai nodded.

"Alright, I’ll gather everyone at that time."

With the Talent Tree Avatar here, as long as the main body can get to a suitable position, the Blood Race can be caught off guard. And as long as the Blood Race’s Sun Blaze is defeated in the shortest time, this Blood Jade World can be completely controlled!

In the short-stay palace of Tian Yu, Ma Shangsi talked about his feud with Tian Yu.

The two of them were Blood Race cultivators from the same era. Ma Shangsi’s aptitude had always surpassed Tian Yu’s. Before Constellation, Ma Shangsi’s cultivation was above Tian Yu’s.

Unfortunately, Tian Yu has a good father...

His father is one of the top three Sun Blaze Saintly Venerables in the entire Blood Jade World. After Tian Yu was promoted to Constellation, under his father’s arrangements and protection, he refined a drop of Sacred Blood, achieving the body of a Saintly Venerable, which completely widened the gap in status.

Years of competition made Tian Yu always hostile towards Ma Shangsi. After becoming a Saintly Venerable, there was naturally much humiliation towards Ma Shangsi.

The reason Ma Shangsi left the Blood Jade World back then also had a lot to do with this.

Saintly Venerables are supreme. With such a Moon Jade Saintly Venerable in the domain having a dislike for him, Ma Shangsi naturally didn’t dare to stay. Moreover, given his connections and without the protection of a strong figure, it was impossible to obtain Sacred Blood, so he left Blood Jade World and ventured outside for many years.

He didn’t expect to encounter this guy Tian Yu right after returning. If it weren’t for fear of affecting Lu Ye’s plan, he could have killed him instantly.

Don’t underestimate him just because he recently ascended to Sun Blaze. In this vast Blood Jade World, if it comes to a one-on-one fight, probably no other Sun Blaze is his match. His saintliness now is much stronger than ordinary Blood Race Saintly Venerables.

He spoke slowly while Lu Ye quietly listened.

Once he finished speaking, Lu Ye finally spoke, "When the time comes, you handle Tian Yu yourself."

Ma Shangsi was overjoyed, "Thank you, sir!" He couldn’t wait to repay the grievances from Tian Yu.

After some thought, he suddenly added, "Sir, are you interested in recruiting more Blood Servants?"

Seeing Lu Ye turn to look at him, Ma Shangsi quickly explained, "I have several close kin in this domain, especially one with outstanding aptitude who had already ascended to Sun Blaze when I left Blood Jade World."

"Oh?" Lu Ye was instantly intrigued. He knew how difficult it was for a Blood Race member to ascend to Sun Blaze without having refined Sacred Blood. If Ma Shangsi’s friend was so talented, they would be among the top tier in the stellar space. Such a candidate, if made a Blood Servant, would have a promising future.

However, Lu Ye still asked, "You’ve been away from Blood Jade World for years, wouldn’t they have been granted Sacred Blood?"

If he were to recruit a Blood Race member as a Blood Servant, a necessary condition was that they weren’t already a Saintly Venerable. Blood Race members who had refined Sacred Blood couldn’t be converted into Blood Servants. Although Xiang Yin and Xuan Yu were nominally first-generation Blood Race members, they hadn’t refined Sacred Blood, and thus could be converted by Lu Ye.

Ma Shangsi sighed, "Sir may not know, but it’s not just the Blood Jade World; in other Blood Race domains, there are many like my friend—talented but struggling. Sacred Blood is scarce in the Blood Race, and mainly controlled by some high-level individuals. Ordinary kin can’t obtain it. My friend likely isn’t a Saintly Venerable yet because his aptitude is too exceptional, and the Saintly Venerables in the domain might still fear him."

If there is a fear in their hearts, how could they grant Sacred Blood?

Plus, for the Blood Race, Sacred Blood, besides enhancing their own bloodline, primarily serves to suppress other kin. When facing external enemies, whether they have Sacred Blood isn’t actually crucial, as those without Sacred Blood can still exert proper strength.

"If sir is interested, I can help inquire!" Ma Shangsi offered.

"Then inquire!" Lu Ye nodded.

"Should I ask only him, or the other few as well?" Ma Shangsi cautiously looked at Lu Ye.

Lu Ye chuckled internally, realizing Ma Shangsi was indeed loyal and kind-hearted. He understood the upcoming fate of Blood Jade World and feared those few close friends might suffer unnecessary disasters. If they gained recognition from Lu Ye, they could be spared.

"Select nine candidates, as you see fit," Lu Ye waved his hand, having nine drops of treasure blood in total.

Ma Shangsi was immensely grateful, "Thank you for your kindness, sir. I assure you, they will be loyal and true, and if any waver, I will offer my head!"

Lu Ye wasn’t concerned about his Blood Servants harboring any disloyal intentions. Having refined his treasure blood, they would belong to him from then on.

His generosity stemmed from Ma Shangsi’s request and his own intention to recruit more Blood Servants. He valued not just the Blood Servants’ prowess, but their cooperation in certain aspects!
