Following the guidance of the star map in her hand, the specter arrived at the location of Unparalleled Island in just a few days. She did not expose her form but concealed herself nearby to probe the situation.
Initially, she thought it was just an unnad deserted island, perhaps occupied by so insignificant beings. However, upon arrival, she discovered sothing unusual—an extraordinarily formidable protective array enveloped the island!
What surprised her even more was that she wasn't the only Ghost Cultivator around.
She could sense that there were several Ghost Cultivators hiding covertly, as if they were monitoring the movents of Unparalleled Island, while others openly observed from afar.
The specter was bewildered; wasn't this just a deserted island? Who would have gone to the trouble of setting up such a big array here? What are these people, openly and secretly spying on Unparalleled Island, up to?
Logically speaking, many such deserted islands exist in the All Phenona Ocean—generally worthless and unoccupied. Yet, what she saw before her left her puzzled.
Currently, under the protection of Unparalleled Island's big array, the stellar space energy born from the Small Constellation Palace's reversal of seawater was completely isolated inside. Therefore, from outside Unparalleled Island, one couldn't detect any anomaly within.
The specter naturally mistook Unparalleled Island for a deserted island.
In her investigation, she suddenly saw a familiar figure and finally understood why Leader Fa wanted her to co here; she saw Chu Shen.
The specter vaguely knew the relationship between Chu Shen and Leader Fa since she had once entrusted Chu Shen to convey a ssage when she wanted Leader Fa's help with a specific scenario.
Upon closer inspection, the specter realized that Chu Shen seed to hold a significant position here, as everyone on the island treated him with respect.
Seeing as she was already here, she decided to enter and take a look even though she didn't understand why Leader Fa wanted her here. To gain access to the rfolk Territory in the future, she could only endure humiliation with patience and discretion until she advanced to the level of a Moon Jade.
She did not reveal herself; instead, she took out an audio talisman and sent a ssage to Chu Shen. The two of them had exchanged audio talisman markings when they were at the Constellation Palace.
Chu Shen, while chatting with soone on the island, sensed sothing, took out the audio talisman, and upon seeing it, showed a pleased expression before subtly operating the big array on the island to create an opening.
The specter had been waiting at that location, and with a single flash, she entered directly.
Upon stepping onto Unparalleled Island, the specter's expression changed, as she suddenly sensed the extrely pure and dense stellar space energy here!
Suddenly realizing that Unparalleled Island was not a deserted island but a Spirit Island!
But... how is this possible? If it were a Spirit Island, so faction would have occupied it long ago; how could it have been left until today?
When she observed from outside, she didn't see the island's full setup, but she got a general idea: there weren't many people here, and in terms of cultivation, most were at the Constellation Early Stage, seemingly led by Chu Shen.
Why is a force like this able to occupy a Spirit Island? Especially one of this caliber!
After sensing quietly for a while, the specter confird that, based on Unparalleled Island's current energy density, it could be considered a mid-class Spirit Island.
Among the many Spirit Islands in the All Phenona Ocean, so are good while others are bad. The standard for evaluation is the stellar space energy on the island.
Those Spirit Islands with stellar space energy unable to et the needs of the Constellation Realm cultivation are the lowest-grade low-class Spirit Islands. There are many such Spirit Islands across the All Phenona Ocean, primarily occupied by domains not considered strong.
Even though they might not et the Constellation Realm's needs, cultivating on such islands can save so spirit jade and slightly improve cultivation efficiency, so they still hold so value, though not significantly large.
Yet, even so, such low-class Spirit Islands are contested by countless domains because, no matter how many there are, there can never be enough for domains where the cultivators originate from.
Cultivators from different Star Systems and domains co here, needing a place to settle. Occupying a deserted island is pointless, and without enough strength, they naturally aim for low-class Spirit Islands. The battles among Spirit Islands in the All Phenona Ocean mostly occur over low-class Spirit Islands.
Above low-class Spirit Islands are mid-class Spirit Islands like Unparalleled Island, where the stellar space energy generally ets the needs of Constellation cultivators for their cultivation.
In other words, residing on such a Spirit Island allows cultivation without spirit jade, and using spirit jade would substantially increase cultivation efficiency.
Such Spirit Islands are undoubtedly far more valuable than low-class Spirit Islands, and only remarkable powers can occupy them in the All Phenona Ocean.
Even higher is the high-class Spirit Islands, where the stellar space energy is so dense that it even satisfies the cultivation of a Moon Jade. The factions occupying these Spirit Islands are significantly stronger than those holding mid-class Spirit Islands, often consisting of entire Star System factions banded together.
Major conflicts rarely erupt between these Spirit Islands since, when they do, it ans war between two Star Systems, involving countless individuals and being hard to quell.
Historically, there was once a conflict between two high-class Spirit Islands which resulted in a large-scale confrontation that lasted for a decade. During this confrontation, more than a dozen high-class Spirit Islands and hundreds of mid-class and low-class Spirit Islands were drawn into the chaos. Throughout those ten years, the entire All Phenona Ocean was frequently plagued by turbulent events. Eventually, even the Sun Blaze from the All Phenona Star System couldn't bear the situation any longer and intervened to suppress the conflicts, finally resolving the disputes.
This is one of the reasons why the presence of foreign Sun Blaze in the All Phenona Ocean is not allowed for long periods. Without the foreign Sun Blaze, the local Sun Blaze can still suppress so unfavorable situations. However, if every powerful Star System had a Sun Blaze stationed there, in the event of large-scale conflicts, the local Sun Blaze would be powerless.
Above the high-class Spirit Islands, there is actually another class, which is the top-class Spirit Islands.
Because the stellar space energy on these Spirit Islands is so rich, it can already give rise to Spirit Jade Veins.
All Phenona Island is such a top-class Spirit Island!
Although Lu Ye had entered and exited All Phenona Island many tis, there was one area he had never visited. That area is the forbidden land of All Phenona Island, where the entrance to the Spirit Jade Vein is located, and it has been guarded by the Moon Jade governor for years. Those who dare to trespass are killed without rcy.
In the entire All Phenona Ocean, there are not many top-class Spirit Islands like All Phenona Island, only less than fifty. This ans that all fifty Spirit Jade Veins are occupied by the most top-tier forces, and their position has remained unshaken throughout countless years.
A Spirit Jade Vein is extrely precious, as it represents an endless supply of cultivation resources, sothing that all cultivators desire and need the most.
Generally speaking, only top-class domains can give birth to Spirit Jade Veins. For example, although the Nine Provinces has been promoted to a large domain, it's unknown how many years it would take to accumulate enough to reach the level where a Spirit Jade Vein can be produced.
Within a Spirit Jade Vein, not only can Spirit Jade be derived, but Spirit Crystals can also be produced. These are important resources for cultivation above the Moon Jade level. In other words, possessing a Spirit Jade Vein can cultivate more powerful individuals.
Currently, Unparalleled Island is far from being a top-class Spirit Island; at most, it's just a mid-class Spirit Island. Yet, even so, it is enough to astonish the specter, because she really couldn't understand how a Spirit Island like this wasn't specially marked on the star map and was even occupied by Chu Shen and his people.
Following Chu Shen's instructions, the specter arrived at a large hall, which should be the visitors hall mainly used for receiving guests. It appeared to be newly built, with everything inside looking new.
She slowly revealed herself. Chu Shen had already entered, smiling and clasping his fists in greeting, "Sister Specter, what brings you here?"
Having t once before, they weren't strangers, although Chu Shen really didn't understand why the specter had co over, as there wasn't any special relationship between them.
The specter thought for a mont and said, "Fa Wuzun asked to co."
This guy was a follower of Fa Wuzun, so there were so things she couldn't hide from him. Thus, the specter could only tell the truth.
"My big brother asked you to co?" Chu Shen finally understood, and on further thought, it wasn't surprising. Leader Fa was originally familiar with the specter, and with Unparalleled Island currently short of people, especially strong individuals like the specter, it was only natural for Leader Fa to have her co to help.
He was secretly delighted, as he was worried about where to find suitable people, and Leader Fa sending the specter over was just perfect.
"Since my big brother asked you to co, Sister, feel free to stay here, and let know if you have any needs," Chu Shen said warmly.
The specter nodded and then asked, "What's the story with this Spirit Island?"
"What do you an, what's the story?" Chu Shen was puzzled.
"A Spirit Island like this should have been occupied long ago. How could it be..." She wanted to ask how it ended up with you, but thought that would sound inappropriate.
Chu Shen understood what she ant and smiled, "Sister, you may not know, but this was originally an unclaid barren island. It only started to co alive after I led people to occupy it."
The specter realized, "I see!"
She was wondering how such a Spirit Island could have gone unnoticed. It turned out to be a Spirit Island that ca alive, and what luck Chu Shen had! While she had heard of barren islands coming alive, there were countless barren islands in the All Phenona Ocean over the years, but only a few had transford into Spirit Islands, mostly low-class ones.
However, the specter soon realized sothing was wrong, because if it really transford from a barren island, there should be at least a slow transformation process, which usually takes years or even decades. However, Chu Shen was still participating in the Constellation Palace competition not long ago, and not much ti had passed since the end of the Constellation Palace.
How long has it been?
"When did this island start to co alive?" the specter asked.
Chu Shen thought for a mont and said, "About a month ago. When we first ca here, the place was desolate, devoid of energy. But just a few days after we arrived, changes started happening, and today it's beco like this."
"Over a month!" The specter's eyes widened in disbelief, almost suspecting Chu Shen was lying to her.
