In front of the massive dangling branches of the Reincarnation Tree, the spore cloud had already disappeared, leaving only nearly a hundred giant figures standing—these were the wood spirits and the Constellations of the Spore Race.
Led by Mu He and Black Umbrella, the Constellations of both races solemnly bowed to Lu Ye and Lih Shang. Mu He spoke, "Thank you, two Fellow Daoists, for your previous assistance and for escorting us along the way, allowing our wood spirit and Spore Race clansn to migrate peacefully. We will rember this kindness in our hearts."
Lu Ye bowed in return, "Clan Leader, no need to mind. I was rely acting under the orders of the Tree Elder." After a pause, he curiously asked, "What will you all do next?"
The wood spirits and the Spore Race below the Constellation Realm had all been guided into the Reincarnation Tree World, but those Constellations no longer had a place to go. Lu Ye also didn't know what their plans were.
Mu He replied, "We will seek a domain where we can survive, and then bring the clansn over when the ti cos."
In the stellar space, there were actually many domains where one could survive. However, many domains hadn't birthed very powerful beings. If it were common races, finding a domain to survive wouldn't be difficult. But the wood spirits and the Spore Race were unique, so simply a domain where they could survive wasn't enough; it also needed to be hidden enough, or they might be targeted by so powerful entities.
Of course, if they were lucky enough to find havens of other wood spirit or Spore Race tribes, they could integrate smoothly.
In this regard, Lu Ye was powerless and could only wish them good luck from afar.
Under the leadership of Mu He and Black Umbrella, the Constellations of both races departed, getting further and further away.
Only then did Lu Ye turn around and, together with Lih Shang, walk into a portal behind them.
It was still that sa Unnad Space as before, where Lu Ye and Lih Shang appeared, seeing the figure of the Reincarnation Tree waiting there.
On its trunk, the face of the Reincarnation Tree revealed a kind smile, "Both young friends have done well this ti, thank you for your hard work."
Lu Ye said blandly, "Tree Elder, you follow the rules, but others don't follow the rules with you, what do you have to say about that?"
The reason the Reincarnation Tree called Lu Ye over to solve the issue in the Blue Jade World was that it was a matter at the Constellation level. Therefore, even though it heard the requests of the wood spirits and the Spore Race, it could only seek out Lu Ye, the only Constellation. Otherwise, it could easily send a Sun Blaze expert over.
But in the end, the Blood Race actually sent over a Moon Jade, and it was a Moon Jade Late Stage, coming to chase after. If not for Lu Ye's saintliness suppression, and with Lih Shang's assistance, Lu Ye's red talisman would surely not have been preserved in this battle.
The Reincarnation Tree was puzzled, "What happened?"
Lu Ye briefly recounted what he had encountered earlier. As for how he, a Constellation Late Stage, could kill a Moon Jade Late Stage, there was no need to elaborate. The Reincarnation Tree knew he possessed strong saintliness, which could suppress the powers of the Blood Race.
After listening, the Reincarnation Tree displayed anger, "Such actions by the Blood Race have already broken the rules. Rest assured, I will give you an explanation for this matter."
As it spoke, it suddenly closed its eyes.
At the sa ti, in the stellar space, within each domain occupied by the Blood Race, the doppelgangers of the Reincarnation Tree suddenly began to shake violently.
It had been several years since the last Divine Sea struggle. These doppelgangers of the Reincarnation Tree were budding and sprouting, growing strong, waiting for the flourishing century. However, at this mont, they suddenly withered, and then died.
In each major domain, the Blood Race mbers responsible for guarding the Reincarnation Tree doppelgangers noticed this strange phenonon and quickly reported it. Soon, in front of each Reincarnation Tree doppelganger, Blood Race Moon Jades and even Sun Blazes ca to investigate.
The many doppelgangers of the Reincarnation Tree continued to shake. With an obscure power surging, the Moon Jades and Sun Blazes of the Blood Race who ca to investigate soon understood the situation. Each face beca overcast as water, cursing those Blood Heroes for lacking capability and ruining their clan's once-in-a-century great opportunity.
The invasion of the Blue Jade World, if without the Reincarnation Tree's intervention, the Blood Race could send whichever powerful being they wished. If the Blue Jade World couldn't resist, it was the Blue Jade World's issue. But since the Reincarnation Tree had intervened, they had to follow its rules. The Blood Race broke rules first, and now the Reincarnation Tree doppelgangers withered thereafter, which was evidently the Reincarnation Tree's punishnt.
Without the Reincarnation Tree doppelgangers, it would be challenging for the Blood Race's domains to participate in the Divine Sea struggle of the Taichu Realm in the future, nor to gain benefits from it. This was undoubtedly a significant loss for the Blood Race as a whole.
In the Unnad Space, the Reincarnation Tree explained to Lu Ye the punishnt inflicted on the Blood Race's domains. Lu Ye felt little emotion.
He knew the Reincarnation Tree couldn't truly do anything drastic to the Blood Race, and there wasn't a need to find a Blood Race Sun Blaze to break eggs to frighten chickens. Although this punishnt seed mild, when viewed in the long term, it would undoubtedly have a substantial impact on the future developnt of the Blood Race as a whole.
Those who could erge victorious in the Divine Sea struggle of the Taichu Realm would have great accomplishnts in the future. The Blood Race traditionally held many spots each ti, but now, with the Blood Race unable to participate, it would give other races so opportunities and reduce the number of strong individuals the Blood Race could produce in the future.
"Young friend, this matter has already reached Perfection, but is there anything you need to do?"
Previously, the Reincarnation Tree had ntioned that if this task could be completed, it could grant Lu Ye one request as a form of reward.
Lu Ye had no other requests; he just wanted to know how to return from the All Phenona Galaxy to the Jade Conch Galaxy!
Others might not know, but for the Reincarnation Tree, whose doppelgangers spanned across the star map, this surely wasn't an issue.
However, he didn't directly ask how to return from the All Phenona Galaxy to the Jade Conch. Instead, he asked, "Tree Elder, if I set off from here to return to my holand, how long would it take with my current strength?"
The Reincarnation Tree pondered for a mont and then said, "With your strength, even with the help of a starboat, it will take at least a hundred years to set off from here."
A hundred years... Although it wasn't as terrifying as imagined, it was still a very long ti. Lu Ye had only been cultivating for a little over a decade.
"What if I set off from the All Phenona Galaxy?"
The Reincarnation Tree pondered again, "Three to five years will suffice!"
Lu Ye was delighted and quickly said, "Then please, Tree Elder, grant a star map that can guide from the All Phenona Galaxy back to my holand!"
"As you wish!"
The Reincarnation Tree seed to have been prepared for this. As it spoke, its trunk shook, and a halo of light fell from the dense foliage, floating into Lu Ye's hand.
The halo dissipated, and Lu Ye could then see what was inside. It was a leaf, seemingly unremarkable, but if ntal Consciousness was imrsed within it, one could see a complete star map.
Lu Ye made a brief probe and found that it was indeed a route map from the All Phenona Galaxy back to the Nine Provinces. He promptly and respectfully put it away, bowing slightly, "Thank you, Tree Elder!"
Finally, he could go ho!
Although there was a doppelganger of the Reincarnation Tree in the Nine Provinces and he could certainly ask the Reincarnation Tree to send him back, returning to the Nine Provinces was not his ultimate goal. Bringing the Constellations of the Nine Provinces out and establishing a foothold in the All Phenona Ocean to cultivate and grow stronger was.
So regardless, he needed a route between the Nine Provinces and the All Phenona Galaxy. Otherwise, if he returned to the Nine Provinces but never went to the All Phenona Ocean, it would be aningless.
The Reincarnation Tree gently said, "This is what you deserve. Does the young friend wish to return to the All Phenona Ocean now? This old man can send you on your way!"
Lu Ye quickly replied, "Then I'll trouble the Tree Elder."
The Reincarnation Tree smiled slightly, and its branches drooped down, weaving into a portal.
Lu Ye led Lih Shang and stepped inside when the voice of the Reincarnation Tree suddenly rang out, "Young friend, before advancing to the Moon Jade, it's best to venture into the Yin-Yang Great Millstone!"
Erging from the portal, Lu Ye found himself back in his cave on Unparalleled Island, which was novel. His previous ability to travel directly into the Reincarnation Tree was due to the Reincarnation Tree's mark at work.
Yet he did not know how the Reincarnation Tree managed to send him back the sa way.
However, the profound ans of such a stellar space supre treasure as the Reincarnation Tree were beyond his understanding. Though this journey took half a year, it finally resolved a matter that was weighing on his mind.
As a reward for completing the Reincarnation Tree's commission, he received a star map for returning to the Nine Provinces, and his relationship with Lih Shang had significantly progressed.
However, before he left, the words of the Reincarnation Tree still lingered in Lu Ye's mind.
It advised him to venture into the Yin-Yang Great Millstone before advancing to Moon Jade…
The Yin-Yang Great Millstone is a marvel of the stellar space. When Lu Ye once read records of it in the Xiyuan Pavilion of the Dwarf Race, the first entry was about the Yin-Yang Great Millstone, leaving a deep impression on him even though he had never been there.
According to the Dwarf Race's records, the Yin-Yang Great Millstone was almost a dead zone. Any creatures that ventured in never returned, even Sun Blaze!
Yet the Reincarnation Tree, being such a strong entity, obviously wouldn't make idle suggestions, but he didn't know why it advised him to venture into the Yin-Yang Great Millstone!
Unable to figure it out, Lu Ye stopped pondering. His mind was preoccupied with the star map, so he quickly took it out for careful study.
After examining it for a mont and confirming the route, according to the star map from the Reincarnation Tree, traveling from the All Phenona Galaxy back to the Nine Provinces requires passing through only two star systems, which was quite astounding.
But this star map was given by the Reincarnation Tree, so it must be correct. All he needed was to make the journey personally to find out.
However, before that, there were many things to prepare and so matters to arrange.
After a brief contemplation, Lu Ye stood up and headed out. He had to share this good news with Tang Jun. The strength of the Nine Provinces was still sowhat lacking. A group of newly elevated Constellations wasn't enough to make much impact, so if they were to march into the All Phenona Ocean in the future, they would need to unite the forces of the entire Jade Conch Galaxy to have a basis for establishing themselves.
This approach was common for many weaker star systems. Uniting everyone within a star system was the correct path.
Qingli Dao World, where Tang Jun hailed from, would be one, the Jade Conch World, the leader of the Jade Conch Galaxy, would be another, and with the Nine Provinces, the combined strength of the Three Worlds, though not extrely strong, wouldn't be weak either in the context of the All Phenona Ocean.
Leaving his cave, Lu Ye traveled through air and looked around. He saw that Unparalleled Island had beco increasingly prosperous and lively. The crisscrossing streets below were bustling with passing cultivators, already exhibiting the atmosphere of a large Spirit Island.
