Although Luo Xie was a Sun Blaze, from his experiences these days, he felt the gap between himself and other Sun Blaze cultivators. If he really got into trouble with the All Phenona Galaxy, it wouldn't end well for him.
"Then I wish you a safe journey, Veteran Luo," Lu Ye said.
Considering he was a Sun Blaze, he shouldn't encounter any issues on the way unless he decided against using the Reincarnation Tree's doppelganger to traverse the Mist Dragon.
Luo Xie smiled and said, "Thank you for your kind words." After a brief hesitation, he added, "If you encounter any difficulties here, rember to seek out Zhang Tingyi and Kang Cheng. They won't stand idly by."
This ti, the four galaxies each had a Moon Jade Late Stage cultivator co over. Kang Cheng ca from Indeterminate, while Zhang Tingyi ca from the Daluo Galaxy. Lu Ye had talked with him a bit but was not too familiar.
But as Luo Xie said, if Lu Ye really encountered any difficulties, reaching out to them would result in assistance. The gratitude for saving them was not forgotten, and the Sun Blaze cultivators had remarked it would never be.
Seeing the desolate situation here, Luo Xie felt obliged to give a reminder.
Although the situation in the four galaxies was temporarily similar to Lu Ye's, lacking a suitable foothold, the overall strength of the four galaxies was strong!
Four Moon Jade Late Stage cultivators, accompanied by Constellation Mid-Late Stage cultivators, had acquired many As-Close-As-Siblings Array Discs. Kang Cheng and the others were scouting the All Phenona Ocean these days, looking for suitable targets. Once they found one, they would initiate an island-capturing battle.
Occupying a Spirit Island at that ti wouldn't be much of an issue.
Were it not for the large number of people from the four galaxies, Luo Xie would have considered advising Lu Ye and the others to join them.
However, the four galaxies ca with a thousand people. Even if they captured a Spirit Island, they might not be able to accommodate their own people, let alone Lu Ye and his group.
It's not that there's no space, but a Spirit Island's capacity for supporting cultivators is limited. The lower the quality of the Spirit Island, the fewer spots available. Exceeding this limit would reduce cultivation efficiency.
To settle a thousand cultivators from the four galaxies, a low-class Spirit Island wouldn't suffice; they'd need to conquer at least a mid-class Spirit Island.
However, the forces behind a mid-class Spirit Island are quite formidable, so the four galaxies need to find a suitable target before taking action.
"For now, there's no major issue. If real trouble arises, I won't hesitate to seek their help," Lu Ye nodded.
"That's good. I'm off," Luo Xie said, then flew up into the sky and vanished quickly, showing a carefree spirit.
One couldn't help but be carefree; staying was not an option…
A mont later, Tang Jun, snapping back to reality, said, "Kid, the formation is set up exactly as you requested, but this thing's defensive strength is as weak as paper."
Due to low expenditures and the large area covered by the Formation, its defensive strength was indeed negligible; a few Constellation cultivators could easily break it with an attack.
"And why do you need the formation to have isolation effects?" Tang Jun asked skeptically. A formation with isolation effects would block the flow of energy in and out.
Yet, there's no energy flowing into the All Phenona Ocean.
If it's about preventing internal energy from leaking out, that's even more laughable; this barren island has no trace of stellar space energy.
"Just in case…" Lu Ye replied casually.
"In case of what?" Luan Xiao'e was puzzled.
"In case this barren island cos to life one day?"
Tang Jun couldn't help but snort. Indeed, sotis barren islands in the All Phenona Ocean would co to life, but such occurrences were rare, happening once in many years. For example, Unparalleled Island was the most successful case of this, now a top-class Spirit Island.
But there's only one Unparalleled Island… encountering such luck twice would be a daydream.
But it doesn't matter much as setting up the Formation itself didn't cost much.
"What should we do next?" Luan Xiao'e asked again, finding herself becoming increasingly indecisive. When in the Jade Conch World, she was a decisive figure. Now in the All Phenona Ocean, she relied on a young man inexperienced compared to her.
"Since the place is marked... it needs a na," Lu Ye pondered. "We hail from the Jade Conch Galaxy, so let's call it Jade Conch Island."
Luan Xiao'e was speechless, not understanding what Lu Ye was thinking. He was now considering naming the barren island.
Tang Jun appeared indifferent, thinking that Jade Conch Island was fine, as long as it wasn't called Qingli Island...
"How about Three Worlds Island?" Luan Xiao'e suggested, "We, the Three Worlds cultivators, stand our ground here, face joys and woes together, hoping for a promising future for everyone."
She was a bit nervous about naming it Jade Conch Island…
"Fellow Daoist Luan's suggestion is good, let's call it Three Worlds Island then," Tang Jun agreed.
The island's na was decided, and Lu Ye said, "Then Senior Sister Luan, you will be the First Island Master of Three Worlds Island moving forward, and Old Tang, you'll be the Second Island Master!"
"You're the Third Island Master!" Tang Jun said, looking at him.
Lu Ye was about to suggest soone more esteed from this world, but reconsidering, although soone else might be more esteed, he was the most suitable candidate.
The group from the Nine Provinces included those from the Haotian Alliance and Ten Thousand Demons Ridge. Though at their cultivation level, faction divisions were set aside, old imprints remained, making it challenging for anyone else to serve as Third Island Master without contention.
Only he could take the role of Third Island Master without challenge, as his cultivation was indeed the highest among those from the Nine Provinces.
"Next, it's ti to establish the foundation for Three Worlds Island," Lu Ye said as he looked at Tang Jun. "Old Tang, you've got the experience in this area. You take charge and follow the plan we used for Unparalleled Island."
Tang Jun had a peculiar expression: "Follow the plan for Unparalleled Island?"
Unparalleled Island was turned into a comrcial Spirit Island by Chu Shen, with only a portion of it being the core business area of the island. Most of the Spirit Island was designated for setting up shops.
To think that this desolate island should be organized according to the old plan of Unparalleled Island, Tang Jun really wanted to pry open Lu Ye's head and see what he was thinking.
"Kid, are you really hoping this broken island will co alive?"
"People need dreams; who knows, they might co true soday," Lu Ye replied earnestly.
Tang Jun snorted coldly: "If Three Worlds Island can co alive, I have no problem calling you Grandpa!"
Lu Ye glanced at him leisurely.
He handed over a storage ring to Tang Jun: "Take what's inside; it should be useful."
Tang Jun received it suspiciously, probed it with his ntal Consciousness, and his expression beca solemn: "Kid, don't worry. I've always been obedient to you. However you say to do it, that's how we do it!"
Luan Xiao'e watched Tang Jun in shock from the side, unable to fathom what Lu Ye had given him to make Tang Jun's attitude change so abruptly.
Lu Ye walked away to the distance.
After he had left, Tang Jun cheerfully took out a few items from the storage ring, which Luan Xiao'e identified as a few magic treasures!
She couldn't help but sigh, "Fellow Daoist Tang, have so dignity!"
"At your age, how can you be so shaless in front of a young lad like this?"
Tang Jun replied: "You folks in Jade Conch World have grand affairs, but you wouldn't understand the bitterness of us Moon Jade cultivators from small worlds..."
Back then, Lu Ye gave him hundreds of thousands of spirit jade for purchasing magic treasures, which gave him a bit of a foundation. But after the battle at Unparalleled Island, the magic treasures bought with hundreds of thousands of spirit jade were all shattered, leaving him with cultivation but no possessions.
As a magic cultivator, how can one live without magic treasures? But he was broke, and completely incapable of buying any.
Evidently, Lu Ye learned about this from Chu Shen, which is why he gave him these magic treasures.
The source of these magic treasures was Luo Xie, who had traded them for so As-Close-As-Siblings Array Discs with Lu Ye on their way to All Phenona Ocean, along with tens of thousands of spirit jade.
Lu Ye had intended to sell them for spirit jade but, upon hearing that Tang Jun's magic treasures were all shattered, decided to gift them to him.
The grade of the magic treasures was not high; they were items Luo Xie didn't use nor cared for, but they were just right for Tang Jun.
Lu Ye was just about to look for Hua Ci and Second Senior Sister when Wuchang and Lady Moon intercepted him midway.
"Do you need sothing?" Lu Ye asked.
The group looked at each other, exchanging glances filled with subtle signals, yet none spoke.
Finally, Jian Guhong drew his sword and pointed it at Wuchang's side, prompting Wuchang to speak: "Yiye, I heard you can fish here at All Phenona Ocean... Can one really sell a catch for several thousand spirit jade? Is it true?"
Not only Luan Xiao'e was worried about the spirit jade for the future cultivation of Three Worlds cultivators, but they were also concerned. Although the Four Galaxies had given Lu Ye a gift of tens of millions of spirit jade to distribute among the Nine Provinces cultivators, granting each tens of thousands in spirit jade to ensure no short-term worries in cultivation, they couldn't just continue living off this bounty.
Moreover, cultivators don't only spend spirit jade on cultivation; since arriving at All Phenona Ocean, they found many good things they wanted to buy, but couldn't afford anything.
Naturally, they wanted to find so ways to make money.
For so reason, they heard about fishing, and imdiately beca intrigued.
Lu Ye frowned; he had only ntioned the fishing at All Phenona Ocean to the people from Four Galaxies, never to the Nine Provinces cultivators. He had no idea from where they had heard it.
As Wuchang asked, he could only nod: "That's indeed the case."
"Then we..." Wuchang's face lit up.
"You can't go!" Lu Ye imdiately stopped his eager thoughts. "The matter involves too much luck—many have gone bankrupt because of it, and only a small subset, a very small subset, have benefited from it."
Fishing ruins lives, playing with fish impoverishes generations; it's no idle talk but a summary of countless predecessors' tragic endings.
"Is it like gambling then?" Wuchang was puzzled.
"It's different, but anyway, this matter isn't reliable. No matter what others say, stay away from it; otherwise, you'll regret it later."
The group nodded in agreent, although Lu Ye wasn't sure if they truly understood.
Lu Ye realized this approach wouldn't work. Now that Wuchang and others showed interest in fishing, others would likely feel the sa, especially given the Three Worlds cultivators' current lack of spirit jade inco. Soone might take a risk.
He had to get Luan Xiao'e to issue an order banning fishing by Three Worlds Island cultivators in the future, nipping their notion in the bud.
