On All Phenona Island, five hundred miles away from the All Phenona rchants Guild, stands a modestly-sized hall specifically dedicated to registering the Moon Jade cultivators from various Spirit Islands.
Previously, Lu Ye, Luan Xiao'e, and Tang Jun had co here once. As the island masters of Three Worlds Island, they needed to leave so information here.
So this ti, it was relatively straightforward for them.
Inside the hall, it wasn't bustling, but a few Moon Jade cultivators were coming and going.
The number of Moon Jades stationed on each Spirit Island is often not fixed, and many Spirit Islands make adjustnts from ti to ti. After every adjustnt, a visit to this place is necessary.
For instance, if a Peak Moon Jade of a Spirit Island wants to retreat to advance to Sun Blaze, the force would likely dispatch another Moon Jade to take their place and guard their Spirit Island.
Similarly, if a force has a newly erged Moon Jade who wants to cultivate on a Spirit Island, a visit here is also necessary.
Lu Ye led He Baichuan and Ma Shangsi into the hall, glanced around, and went straight in one direction. There, a cultivator sat behind a desk, holding an audio talisman, seemingly chatting through audio transmission with soone, occasionally letting out foolish chuckles.
There were several such desks scattered around the hall. With the other seats occupied, Lu Ye naturally chose this one.
Lu Ye approached the desk, and the person seated didn't notice, completely absorbed in the conversation.
Only when Lu Ye knocked on the desk, causing a thudding sound, did the Constellation turn abruptly and blink, asking, "What is it?"
This Constellation didn't exhibit the usual caution or reverence that typical cultivators would toward a Moon Jade. Since he could work here, he must be from the native Star System, and with Moon Jades frequently coming and going, he must have seen countless Moon Jades, naturally becoming adept at facing them calmly.
"Registering for Moon Jade replacent," Lu Ye said succinctly.
Such registrations are not uncommon, so the Constellation understood. He nodded, temporarily put away his audio talisman, and then asked, "Who is being replaced?"
Lu Ye pointed to Ma Shangsi and He Baichuan beside him; he didn't need it himself.
The other party imdiately tossed over two blank jade slips: "Origin, na, affiliated force, and who to replace. Record everything in detail."
Lu Ye distributed the two blank jade slips to Ma Shangsi and He Baichuan, who imdiately started filling them out.
This information was very simple, and no one would verify it, let alone get results.
A mont later, Lu Ye handed the two jade slips back to the Constellation. The other party took them, gave a brief probe, and with a glint in his eyes, asked, "Did the person being replaced die?"
"Still alive."
"Are they present?"
Lu Ye blinked: "Not here."
The other party imdiately tossed the jade slips back, shaking his head, "Then that's not possible. If the person being replaced is still alive, you need to have them co here too. Both parties must be present for this to be processed."
"There's such a rule?" Lu Ye was stunned. How co Tang Jun never ntioned it? Maybe the old guy wasn't aware since he hadn't dealt with such matters before.
"Hehe." The Constellation chuckled, lowered his head, and ignored Lu Ye further.
Lu Ye stood in place, pondering for a mont, then discreetly pulled out a storage ring and handed it over, whispering, "Brother, give us a hand."
The Constellation looked up at Lu Ye, shook his head, "It's not that I don't want to help, but the rule cannot be broken. If the person to be replaced isn't present, how can I be sure you're not colluding? The replacent of Moon Jade is a serious matter. If anyone could casually replace others, wouldn't that cause chaos? What if you have a grudge against Three Worlds Island and ca here deliberately to stir things up? Sitting here, I have to be responsible for all the Spirit Islands."
Those words... made sense.
Lu Ye realized the person wasn't shirking or looking for a bribe; it really was as stated. If the three of them did hold a grudge against Three Worlds Island, without the presence of the replaced Moon Jade, this matter indeed couldn't proceed.
But after thinking it over, Lu Ye said, "I'm the Third Island Master of Three Worlds Island, and there are records of here. Can't I vouch for this?"
"Rules are rules." The other party shook his head.
Helpless, Lu Ye could only lead He Baichuan and Ma Shangsi out first.
Standing at the entrance, he looked around; not far away was a teahouse. Lu Ye said, "Let's go have so tea."
He Baichuan and Ma Shangsi had no objections, following Lu Ye into the teahouse, climbing to the second floor, where they found a seat by the window.
Only then did Lu Ye send a ssage for Cherng Xin to bring Tang Jun over; he decided to replace Cherng Xin for the two rfolk elders.
While waiting, the group chatted casually. He Baichuan looked around; it was his first visit to the All Phenona Ocean, and given this was the most bustling place within it, he naturally observed with great interest.
"When will our Three Worlds Island have such a scene?" he mused while looking.
Lu Ye took a sip of tea and said, "It's difficult."
Three Worlds Island, in terms of scale, is not much inferior to All Phenona Island, and now with the Small Constellation Palace, it is destined to grow into a top-class Spirit Island in the future. If we only compare the foundation of Spirit Islands, Lu Ye believes Three Worlds Island will not be inferior to All Phenona Island.
But wanting to achieve the bustling and flourishing level of All Phenona Island is not an easy task.
In the entire All Phenona Ocean, there is not just one top-class Spirit Island like All Phenona Island, but the level of prosperity on All Phenona Island is unmatched by any other Spirit Island.
Because it belongs to the local forces, it has innate credibility and deterrence, which is an advantage other Spirit Islands cannot compare with.
Any cultivator new to All Phenona Ocean would want to visit All Phenona Island.
"When we can occupy All Phenona Ocean, that would be great." He Baichuan grew more ambitious in his thoughts.
Lu Ye chuckled. With the local Star System's current managent thod over All Phenona Ocean, wanting to occupy it is pretty much an unrealistic dream. They would never allow too many Sun Blaze to be active here; without gathering enough Sun Blaze, it's impossible to conquer All Phenona Ocean. As for Luo Xie, when he ca over once, he only stayed for a few days before leaving.
Moreover, the forces here in All Phenona Ocean are complex, with many major forces extending their reach here, making enormous profits.
So no matter who wants to occupy All Phenona Ocean, the enemy they face is definitely not just one local Star System. These forces gaining great benefits from All Phenona Ocean would likewise not allow such a thing to happen, because they also don't want major turmoil to occur on All Phenona Ocean.
He Baichuan was enthusiastically observing the surroundings but suddenly turned his head, looking at Lu Ye with a serious expression.
"What's wrong?" Lu Ye was startled by his look.
He Baichuan didn't speak but transmitted via audio: "Don't look outside; I saw the Moon Jade who intercepted and Senior Sister Luan before."
Lu Ye froze holding his teacup, raising his eyebrows: "Are you sure?"
"We fought not long ago; of course, I can recognize them, and the cultivation matches." He Baichuan nodded. The reason he told Lu Ye not to look outside was mainly to avoid being detected.
"Where is it?" Lu Ye slowly put down his teacup. This was truly a case of seeking high and low only to find it effortlessly. He had just decided within his faction to showcase the power of Three Worlds Island, the target of the demonstration being the force where the Moon Jade who ambushed Tang Jun belonged.
Originally, this matter had no clues, because Lu Ye and others didn't know those Moon Jade at all. Who knew which Spirit Island they ca from? Once they hid on a Spirit Island, they wouldn't have a way for revenge.
Tang Jun was investigating the matter, but getting results wouldn't be easy.
Unexpectedly, their paths crossed, and He Baichuan saw one of the individuals here.
"That person entered the registration place." He Baichuan said, "He's also leading another Moon Jade."
Lu Ye imdiately reacted: "In the previous battle, I killed one of their Moon Jade Mid-Stage; this is filling the vacancy!"
This was indeed quite coincidental, but upon careful consideration, not too much a coincidence.
Since they lost a Moon Jade, there's a vacant position appearing, which does require registering to fill it.
Coincidentally, they were sitting here drinking tea and chatting, and He Baichuan was continuously looking around, thus spotting them.
"Did they notice you?" Lu Ye asked.
He Baichuan shook his head: "No, when I spotted him, I imdiately shifted my gaze."
"Great." Lu Ye pondered slightly and spoke: "Describe that person's appearance clearly to Ma Shangsi." He then looked at Ma Shangsi: "Once that person exits, follow them quietly and find out which Spirit Island is behind them."
Now that the enemy is known while we are hidden, the opportunity is perfect, presenting Lu Ye with two choices.
One is to repay them in kind, attacking them just like they ambushed Old Tang.
But after thinking about it, Lu Ye chose not to do so. Without knowing their specific subsequent action routes, selecting an ambush point is difficult, lacking the convenience of a surprise attack. If our side takes action, it would have to be a direct assault. If the other party detects it, they will definitely flee, leaving a possibility they might not be killed and instead alerting them.
Moreover, to demonstrate the power of Three Worlds Island outwardly, relying solely on such ans is not substantial enough.
It's better to go big, for example—start a Spirit Island battle.
Thus, Lu Ye decided to first uncover their background and understand their details, as previously, the main problem was not knowing who the enemy was. Now, by coincidence, they've encountered them; this godsend opportunity must not be missed.
Upon receiving orders, Ma Shangsi promptly got up and left the tea house, soon disappearing without a trace.
This guy had mixed in All Phenona Ocean for a good length of ti, living as comfortably as a fish in water. As a Blood Race, he relied not just on his own strength to live so well; his disguise skills were top-notch.
Although the opposite party had seen He Baichuan, they had not seen Ma Shangsi, so having him follow them is naturally the best choice.
A mont later, Lu Ye sent a ssage to Cherng Xin, who was on her way, instructing her to bring Tang Jun to wait at the location. Once she responded, Lu Ye led He Baichuan out of the tea house, flying towards All Phenona Island's exterior.
The two Moon Jade had already left All Phenona Island, with Ma Shangsi trailing behind. Guided by the information he provided, Lu Ye was sure not to go the wrong way.
