Sage of Humanity Chapter 1703 1701: Backed by a Powerful Figure

Ma Shangsi's candor surprised the Jade Conch Moon Jade cultivators.

A servant?

A servant at the Peak Moon Jade level?

They could hardly believe their ears and were montarily stunned, but from Ma Shangsi's expression, it was clear he was not joking. In front of Lu Ye, he indeed lowered himself quite a bit and even addressed them as "my lord"...

To be fair, for soone like Ma Shangsi, a Peak Moon Jade, to call them "Fellow Daoist" would already be giving them face. But addressing them as "my lord" made the Jade Conch Moon Jade cultivators quite uncomfortable.

The reason for this address was evidently because Lu Ye had already referred to them as brothers. If Ma Shangsi were to call them "Fellow Daoist," where would that leave Lu Ye?

Qiu Wu glanced at Wu Zhuo, with a face that seed to ask, "What's going on?" Wu Zhuo just slowly shook his head, also a bit baffled.

On the way, he had noticed Ma Shangsi's respectful attitude toward Lu Ye, but he had never expected such a powerful figure to candidly refer to himself as a servant.

Having such a strong individual as a servant, Lu Yiye of Nine Heavens might have befriended so high-level Sun Blaze, Wu Zhuo couldn't help but speculate.

Not only did he think this way, but the Jade Conch Moon Jade cultivators thought so too, as it seed the only reasonable explanation...

"Our honored guest has arrived; please don't stand outside. Co inside for a chat, Junior Brother Lu, please!" Qiu Wu quickly adjusted his expression and gestured invitingly.

In this brief mont, the Jade Conch Moon Jade cultivators' mindset underwent several changes. Initially, when they heard Wu Zhuo had brought Lu Yiye of Nine Heavens, they intended to et a promising junior, but upon seeing Lu Ye's cultivation had reached Moon Jade, they realized they needed to treat each other as equals.

With Ma Shangsi's use of "my lord," Lu Ye suddenly beca a distinguished guest, and the Jade Conch Moon Jade cultivators dared not show any slight disregard. Although they hadn't harbored such thoughts before, there is always a sense of superiority and scrutiny when the strong face the weak.

"Sorry to disturb!" Lu Ye maintained a composed expression, nodded, and walked inside alongside them.

Inside the grand hall, everyone took their seats, and under everyone's gaze, Ma Shangsi quietly sat a little behind Lu Ye on the left, truly adopting the deanor of a servant.

After a few simple pleasantries, Lu Ye got acquainted with the Moon Jade cultivators present.

There were more than just these few Moon Jade cultivators in Jade Conch. As the leading force in this ho galaxy, although they had not yet produced a Sun Blaze level expert, they have managed to maintain around ten Moon Jade cultivators. According to Wu Zhuo, at their peak, Jade Conch had as many as fifteen Moon Jade cultivators.

For an old-established large domain, their foundation is undoubtedly quite shallow.

In comparison, the Indeterminate World that Lu Ye visited was also a large domain, and not only did they have Sun Blaze cultivators, but they also had plenty of Moon Jade cultivators.

The situation with Jade Conch is partly due to its remote location, which has long been disconnected from the main stellar space, and lacks interaction with other star systems, leading to self-exploration in cultivation matters.

Also, the limited resources in stellar space play a role.

However, Moon Jade cultivators cannot always stay within their domain, so like to roam around. Not to ntion Moon Jade cultivators, even many Constellation-level cultivators from the Nine Provinces now spend most of their ti in stellar space.

After so idle chatter, Qiu Wu finally inquired about the situation over at All Phenona Ocean.

Luan Xiao'e had led a hundred elite cultivators from their domain to All Phenona Ocean, and it had been years without any news; there were no channels to gather information from this side, so saying they were not worried was a lie.

Since Lu Ye had co, they naturally wanted to inquire thoroughly.

Lu Ye did not hide anything and briefly recounted the battles he encountered on the way to All Phenona Ocean. Upon hearing that the Three Worlds fleet got involved in a war between four galaxies and the Blood Race, all the Moon Jade cultivators present changed their expressions.

After all, according to Lu Ye, that war involved nearly ten Sun Blaze cultivators, and the number of Moon Jade and Constellation-level cultivators was imasurable. With the Three Worlds fleet participating in such a grand event, how could they expect to fare well?

Fortunately, although the outco was not entirely ideal, the losses on the Three Worlds fleet were not so grievous, and eventually, they overca their difficulties and continued toward All Phenona Ocean.

Upon learning that the Three Worlds cultivators had now occupied an island in All Phenona Ocean, and everything was well, everyone felt relieved.

Soon, the Jade Conch cultivators realized the previous question Wu Zhuo had posed: the Three Worlds cultivators, lacking deep foundations, occupied a mid-class Spirit Island; could they hold onto it?

Lu Ye then brought up the rfolk Race, which reassured them to so extent.

As Lu Ye narrated these events, Qiu Wu's gaze toward Lu Ye grew increasingly complex.

From these narrations, Qiu Wu could see that although the journey of the Three Worlds fleet several years ago was fraught with so challenges and losses, overall it was quite smooth, and they established themselves effortlessly in All Phenona Ocean.

Qiu Wu certainly was old, but that didn't an he was senile. He knew these successes couldn't have co without reason, not in a fiercely competitive place like All Phenona Ocean, where things couldn't have progressed so smoothly.

He was very well aware of Luan Xiao'e and the cultivators from their domain's capabilities. Whatever setbacks they encountered in All Phenona Ocean, she would not be able to resolve it.

The people from Qingli Dao World also didn't have that ability.

So who is capable of resolving these matters?

The root of it all probably lies with the young man right in front of him!

Qiu Wu wasn't sure exactly what Lu Ye was capable of, but he knew that what Lu Ye revealed was certainly just part of it; there was much he hadn't said.

Leaving aside other matters, why could the rfolk race living in the depths of All Phenona Ocean beco the most steadfast ally of Three Worlds Island?

Qiu Wu increasingly felt that this Lu Yiye of Nine Heavens was not simple; as he looked, he seed to see a tall figure standing behind Lu Ye...

"World Lord Qiu, fellow Senior Brothers and Sisters, I've returned this ti with the intention of taking another group to Three Worlds Island. From Palace Lord Wu, a hundred people were dispatched, so I hope that your domain can allocate another hundred people. All Phenona Ocean is far from peaceful; our people will have to rely on themselves there," Lu Ye said.

He originally thought the Jade Conch wouldn't refuse this, since no one could resist the allure of All Phenona Ocean. He had even prepared for Jade Conch to ask him to bring more people over.

Who would have thought that after hearing this, Qiu Wu didn't respond imdiately but instead showed a troubled expression.

After a brief contemplation, Qiu Wu said, "If my Junior Brother isn't in a hurry, linger in our domain for a few days; we'll discuss and then give you a reply, is that alright?"

Lu Ye blinked, unclear about the situation.

Why isn't this good opportunity being accepted?

Is it distrust in ?

There's no reason to think so, and Lu Ye didn't sense any distrust from Qiu Wu and the others.

He didn't ponder deeply, nodded, and said, "No problem."

Then began the idle chat. The understanding about All Phenona Ocean from Jade Conch World ca mainly from Wu Zhuo's previous visit, so their knowledge wasn't extensive. Now, with Lu Ye, soone who had mingled in All Phenona Ocean for many years being here, naturally, there were many things they wanted to know.

The atmosphere quickly beca lively.

Lu Ye smoothly ntioned, "World Lord Qiu, I wonder if your domain has suitable materials for crafting magic treasures?"

Qiu Wu replied, "Junior Brother wants to craft a magic treasure?"

Lu Ye patted the Boulder Mountain Saber at his waist, smiled, and said, "I've advanced to Moon Jade; I need a handy tool. If your domain has suitable materials, I can purchase so."

Actually, the best choice is still to do this at All Phenona Ocean, where there are abundant materials. As long as Lu Ye has spirit jade, he can buy whatever he wants.

However, what Lu Ye wants to craft is not a common sword sheath but one that incorporates the Drawn Saber Slash Spirit Runes. These spirit runes are extrely complex, and Lu Ye estimates that even an Artifact Refiner in the Sun Blaze Realm may not be able to successfully craft it.

Moreover, he couldn't find an Artifact Refiner of that level.

He could only do it himself!

Crafting such a sword sheath, Lu Ye didn't have much confidence in his heart. Although he had a foundation in Artifact Refining, he hadn't paid much attention to it over the years and wasn't sure he could succeed.

Fortunately, he had the Talent Tree, an advantage no other Artifact Refiner possessed, so regardless of success or failure, he had to try.

Just to practice, later when better materials are available, he can craft a better sword sheath to replace it.

Qiu Wu said, "What kind of materials is Junior Brother looking for?" After a brief contemplation, he added, "Let's do it this way: let Junior Brother Han accompany you to the treasure vault for a trip; take whatever catches your eye. Moreover, Junior Brother Han is the most outstanding Artifact Refiner of our domain, if you need anything crafted, feel free to ask him to refine it."

Junior Brother Han, nad Han Dong, was the bald beefy guy who spoke when he first t Lu Ye. Lu Ye had already gotten acquainted with him earlier.

Lu Ye clasped his fists, "Thank you, World Lord Qiu. As for the spirit jade needed for the materials, I will definitely provide them."

Qiu Wu waved his hand, "Junior Brother bravely explored All Phenona Ocean, didn't keep it selfishly, but shared it with Qingli Dao World and my Jade Conch, such generosity is admirable. To be honest, both Qingli and my Jade Conch have received a great favor from Junior Brother. So crafting materials in the treasure vault can be given freely; Jade Conch wouldn't be stingy enough to truly take Junior Brother's spirit jade."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ye knew that even if he insisted, they wouldn't accept the spirit jade. He raised his cup, "Then many thanks to the Senior Brother!"

The feast was hosted with joy by all, and after the banquet, Jade Conch placed Lu Ye in a picturesque valley, where Wu Zhuo was also present, serving as company.

The following day, before Lu Ye could make the first move, the bald Han Dong ca looking for him, intending to take Lu Ye to the treasure vault for a visit.

Lu Ye brought Ma Shangsi along and followed him out.

Righteous Blood Sect also had a treasure vault, but the treasure vault of a domain is incomparable to the treasure vault of a sect. Jade Conch's treasure vault was divided into several layers, each filled to the brim with good items.

One layer held various crafting materials.

Most of these materials were nurtured by Jade Conch World itself, while a portion was brought back by cultivators from encounters in stellar space.

Lu Ye was dazzled and couldn't decide where to start.
