"Excellent insight, Fellow Daoist Lu!" Luan Xiao'e thought the sa in her heart, but didn't show it outwardly. "Then let's proceed as suggested by the Fellow Daoist."
She had a sneaking suspicion that Lu Ye's side had dispatched five Tiger Shark battleships. They likely intended this arrangent originally; otherwise, the numbers wouldn't match so conveniently.
"However, I have a suggestion," Luan Xiao'e added.
"Please speak, Fellow Daoist!"
"With this arrangent, the cultivators operating the Tiger Sharks are undoubtedly facing greater risks, so it's not right for your Nine Heavens World to shoulder it alone. Why not have cultivators from the Three Worlds provide so manpower? Arrange cultivators from each world on every battleship."
Lu Ye thought for a mont and nodded, saying, "Good idea!"
With such an arrangent, the cultivators inside the Tiger Shark battleships indeed bear greater risks, as they are separated from the fleet. Moreover, the cultivators from Nine Provinces are all at the Constellation Early Stage. If the late-stage cultivators from Jade Conch and Qingli Dao World also enter the Tiger Sharks, their ability to protect themselves and their insight in detecting danger would be stronger.
After discussing thoroughly, they began to make arrangents.
Soon, the personnel for the five Tiger Shark battleships were adjusted, with three cultivators on each ship, representing the Three Worlds respectively. The Nine Provinces side was all Constellation Early Stage, while Jade Conch and Qingli Dao World dispatched late-stage cultivators.
According to the previous plan, the five battleships were spread out, maintaining a certain distance from the fleet, ensuring they could communicate while also allowing the fleet to provide support anyti if danger arose.
One day later, the fleet entered the geomagnetic turbulence zone.
Even though she had personally scouted earlier, Luan Xiao'e ca to the deck to stabilize herself, gazing into the depths ahead, her strong ntal Consciousness flickering.
She was secretly wondering at the existence of the giant azure bird Lu Ye had ntioned earlier. Several hundred years ago, during her visit, this place was chaotic with countless geomagnetic storms — nowhere was as calm as this!
A hint of worry stirred in her heart. Despite the extre peril of the geomagnetic turbulence zone, it was actually a natural barrier for the Jade Conch Galaxy. Every side of the Jade Conch Galaxy had such barriers, so were stellar marvels, while others were perilous lands like the geomagnetic turbulence zone.
These barriers isolated the Jade Conch Galaxy within this section of stellar space, limiting it while also protecting it.
Currently, the barrier of the geomagnetic turbulence zone seed to show signs of failing. It was unclear whether this would bring unpredictable dangers to the Jade Conch Galaxy.
However, considering these things at the mont was aningless. So matters could not be avoided; one could only face them head-on. If soday this galaxy birthed Sun Blaze, it could handle most dangers.
Jade Conch World's desire for Sun Blaze was the strongest among the Three Worlds.
Lu Ye was amazed to find that the environnt in the geomagnetic turbulence zone was even more tranquil than when he last visited. The previous ti, he frequently encountered stellar space geomagnetic storms, but this ti, the chances appeared lower.
Seems it was all thanks to that giant azure bird.
Lu Ye initially wanted to search for the azure bird again to hitch another ride and save travel ti. Yet, after entering the geomagnetic turbulence zone for a long while, he found no trace of the bird, wondering if it was at the Thousand Mounds Cetery.
That creature seed to sleep after filling up at the Thousand Mounds Cetery. Besides, the geomagnetic turbulence zone was vast, and even if the azure bird was here, it would only chase geomagnetic storms. eting by chance would be incredibly rare unless luck favored them.
Thanks to previous arrangents, the fleet managed to avoid several stellar space geomagnetic storms, as the patrolling Tiger Shark battleships monitored ahead, tily finding suitable spots to evade.
Throughout the journey of several months, they encountered no significant dangers.
In such conditions, Lu Ye had limited actions to undertake aside from cultivation and deriving spirit runes, as these tasks could be interrupted at any ti without issue.
Since advancing to Constellation Late Stage, a considerable ti had passed. When he initially ascended, he deliberately slowed his cultivation pace to avoid insufficient accumulation leading to an unstable foundation.
Even after resuming cultivation, he mainly focused on refining spirit jade and similar items. Though his efficiency was much faster than the average cultivator, it couldn't compare to his past cultivation speed at All Phenona Ocean.
The only advantage was the reduced consumption of Talent Tree fuel. Presently, most fuel usage was directed toward deriving spirit runes.
At this accumulation rate, despite his high efficiency, reaching peak state in Constellation Late Stage would take at least ten years.
Yet, he wasn't in a rush to break through his current realm. When departing from the Reincarnation Tree, Tree Elder advised visiting the Yin-Yang Great Millstone before advancing to Moon Jade.
As to why, Tree Elder didn't explain, but his purposeful reminder surely held benefits.
Lu Ye planned to head to All Phenona Ocean for arrangent, quickly elevating his cultivation to the limit before venturing to the Yin-Yang Great Millstone.
Additionally, he intended to escort Lih Shang back to the Soul Race ancestral land. He felt uneasy letting her return alone, as the Xianyuan Guards remained within the Million Souls Banner. Any mishap involving Lih Shang would leave them compromised.
During his cultivation, an audio talisman suddenly ca to life with activity. Lu Ye quickly investigated and discovered it was an alert from Wan Guliu.
Wan Guliu was forrly the Departnt Chief of Haotian City's Departnt of Appointnts in Bingzhou. Although he didn't have much contact with Lu Ye, they had t a few tis. When Lu Ye was promoted to a military rank in Haotian City, he had seen him.
In this geomagnetic turbulence zone, the only possibility for the alert was the discovery of a stellar space geomagnetic storm.
The mont he received the communication from Wan Guliu, Lu Ye didn't hesitate at all. He imdiately flashed out and onto the deck, letting out a long howl in all directions. At the sa ti, his hands moved swiftly, using the audio talisman to send ssages outwards.
anwhile, Luan Xiao'e also received the alert and made the sa arrangents.
The next instant, the entire fleet turned direction and rushed toward a location where a battleship at the forefront had already scouted a desolate planet, just perfect for taking cover.
Over the months, everyone had experienced this kind of scene several tis, so they were quite adept at it, proceeding in an orderly fashion.
Soon after, the fleet entered the desolate planet, each finding a suitable position, stowing their starboats, awaiting the onslaught of the stellar space geomagnetic storm.
The Tiger Shark battleships that were monitoring outside also gradually returned to formation. Lu Ye's gaze was fixed on a certain direction.
That direction was precisely where Wan Guliu's Tiger Shark battleship was patrolling because, regardless of which Tiger Shark battleship sent out an alert, the danger encountered there was always the greatest.
In previous alerts, the Tiger Shark battleships were able to return safely, but this ti there seed to be so mishap.
Because Lu Ye had already witnessed the terrifying scene of the stellar space geomagnetic storm sweeping over, but still hadn't seen any sign of the Tiger Shark battleship.
Everyone's expressions turned solemn, knowing that sothing was seriously wrong.
Such a situation undoubtedly indicated that the Tiger Shark battleship which sent the alert had been swept into the stellar space geomagnetic storm; otherwise, it made no sense that it hadn't appeared by now.
The cultivators from the Three Worlds all wore expressions of sorrow because, after all, each Tiger Shark battleship housed a cultivator from their own world.
Luan Xiao'e stood beside Lu Ye and couldn't help but sigh. If it were any other danger, with her foundation at the Moon Jade Late Stage, she might have a way to rescue them, but when it ca to the stellar space geomagnetic storm, she was powerless. Rushing in would just be throwing resources into the wind.
As she was silently praying that those three Constellations would have a stroke of luck, Lu Ye suddenly dashed out, leaving just a sentence echoing in her ears: "I'm going to check it out!"
Luan Xiao'e was montarily stunned, and by the ti she reacted, it was too late to stop him. She could only watch as Lu Ye rushed toward the stellar space geomagnetic storm.
Her heart was filled with anxiety, but when she turned her gaze, she saw Yiyi looking calmly in the direction Lu Ye had gone.
"Aren't you worried, little girl?" Luan Xiao'e knew Yiyi well, since during this period, Yiyi often ca to see Lu Ye, so she knew about the deep bond between Yiyi and Lu Ye.
"Worried," Yiyi replied honestly, then quickly added, "But since it's Lu Ye, things should be okay."
She had already learned from Lih Shang about Lu Ye's confidence in dealing with the stellar space geomagnetic storm, so she wasn't too worried, especially with Yaya accompanying him. If any danger arose, she could always ask Yaya for help.
Luan Xiao'e looked at Yiyi, perplexed, completely unaware of where her mystifying confidence ca from. It was a stellar space geomagnetic storm, after all. Not to ntion Lu Ye, even she, a Moon Jade, would not fare well if she rushed in.
Lu Ye's figure had vanished, and the stellar space geomagnetic storm appeared much fiercer than the previous few tis. Seen from afar, it was like a tornado sweeping across vast stellar space, containing a force field that could suppress cultivators' powers and filled with nurous stellar objects spinning at high speed.
Rushing into this massive tornado, Lu Ye's body was tossed along, soon becoming disoriented.
With the Talent Tree by his side, he wasn't afraid of the invisible force field's suppression on himself, but finding a Tiger Shark battleship in such an environnt was an incredibly difficult task.
He could confirm that the Tiger Shark battleship was definitely swept in because when he tried to communicate with Wan Guliu earlier, there was no response.
After a brief pause, Lu Ye forcibly mobilized his spirit force, moving in the opposite direction of the geomagnetic storm's rotation. He thought that since the Tiger Shark battleship couldn't possibly withstand the storm's sweep, it must also be drifting within it. If he drifted like that too, their chances of eting would be low.
However, if he moved in the opposite direction, the chances of encountering it would be much higher.
As long as he could find the Tiger Shark battleship, the next steps would be straightforward.
But soon, Lu Ye's plan didn't work out because while moving in the opposite direction, he couldn't avoid the teors swept up by the storm. Those teors of various sizes crashed into him, shaking him fiercely, stirring his blood Qi, and before long, he felt he couldn't hold on.
With no other choice, Lu Ye had to abandon his original idea and instead advance along the storm's rotational path.
