Standing still, Lu Ye pondered for a long ti.
He vaguely felt that this training might be sowhat troubleso. He did not fear the competition in Moon Jade; with his current strength, no one at the sa level could rival him.
Even if he encountered a weaker Sun Blaze, he still had his trump cards.
But those two cultivators who could die and be reborn made him feel uneasy. It was the first ti he encountered such a presence. Although they weren't truly immortal, their thod of resurrection was astonishing enough.
He then recalled that the shadows in the Asura Field were traces left by cultivators from a certain era, reproduced using the supre Mysterious Power of the field. In that case, these two cultivators actually existed in history at so point?
And they claid to be followers of the Great Celestial God Sect, aning there must be more than just two of them. How powerful must that so-called Great Celestial God be?
Thinking further, if there are such strange shadows in the Asura Field, could there be traces of them in the current stellar space as well?
However, the stellar space is vast, and no one can know everything.
Lu Ye secretly felt fortunate that he encountered these followers during his training. If he chanced upon them outside, it could be costly if he was not careful.
He collected his thoughts and turned away.
Soon, he returned to the small village.
Rain started drizzling from the sky. The rough man was still squatting under the eaves, and inside, a simple woman held the baby, gently patting, while humming an unknown lullaby.
The baby had already fallen asleep.
Seeing Lu Ye return, the woman stood up and handed over the baby.
Lu Ye took the baby: "Thank you, madam."
The woman had never heard such an address and felt a bit awkward, waving her hand, she quietly said, "No need, no need." Rembering sothing, she turned to pick up a rustic water bag from the table: "There's so breast milk stored inside. If the child gets hungry again, heat it up to feed him, but not too hot as it may hurt him."
Lu Ye nodded, put the water bag away, searched his storage ring with ntal Consciousness, but found nothing suitable to give away.
Spirit jade or spirit crystals were naturally inappropriate, and treasure items weren't even worth considering. Helplessly, he thanked her once more.
Bidding farewell to the couple, Lu Ye retracted the Treasure Blood Avatar and leapt away, disappearing in an instant.
He did not know where the Yunluo Sacred Land was, but during a casual chat with the rough man, he got a sense of direction for a place called Yunluo Mountain. The man hadn't been there either given the long distance. He only pointed him to a general direction.
Lu Ye wasn't worried about not finding it. He planned to ask people along the way.
The domain was currently unstable, with an unknown enemy invading from the outside. The followers of the Great Celestial God Sect were causing chaos inside, and there must be so connection between them.
Lu Ye pondered as he traveled, wondering what his task truly entailed this ti.
Thinking it over, he felt it must have sothing to do with resolving this domain's crisis. However, he had too little information to act rashly.
Not to ntion the future, his current task was evidently to take the baby to Yunluo Sacred Land—and perhaps there, everything would beco clear.
With little trouble, Lu Ye found the location of Yunluo Sacred Land because once entering Yunluo Mountain, he often saw cultivators active. A bit of inquiry revealed the specific location of Yunluo Sacred Land.
He could sense tight security here, with Yunluo Sacred Land's cultivators patrolling everywhere.
This made Lu Ye realize that the domain's trouble might be more serious than he thought.
Stating his purpose, Lu Ye was led by a patrol team of cultivators into Yunluo Sacred Land, then settled in a visitors hall.
The baby in his arms wailed again, likely hungry. Lu Ye pulled out the water bag, gently ward the breast milk with spirit force, then using Mana, delivered it little by little into the baby's mouth.
Now that he was at Yunluo Sacred Land, what should he do next?
As Lu Ye was contemplating, he suddenly heard footsteps approaching from one side. He turned to see a tall, cold and beautiful woman walking aggressively towards him. She wore a white dress splattered with blood, yet wasn't wounded. She glared at Lu Ye as if harboring a bitter animosity.
Lu Ye frowned, unclear what this was about.
The woman strode up to him and stood, lowering her gaze to him. Lu Ye matched her gaze, his eyes clear.
She looked at the baby in Lu Ye's arms, then turned to the other cultivator behind her and said, "Take the child over!"
The swordswoman behind her stepped forward, reaching out to Lu Ye.
Lu Ye blinked and decisively handed her the baby, feeling relieved. He had finally handed the baby over. Although he didn't know why the old man asked him to bring the baby here before dying, since it was delivered, the task was completed. As for whom to give it to... how would Lu Ye know?
Almost the instant Lu Ye handed over the baby, the tall woman suddenly raised her hand.
Lu Ye instinctively wanted to dodge, but reconsidered and stayed put because he didn't sense any malice from the woman's movent, despite her apparently hateful deanor.
In the next mont, Lu Ye felt his ear being pinched by a gentle little hand, and a tall woman gritted her teeth, "You finally decided to co back, my dear… junior brother!"
Lu Ye tilted his head and imdiately understood his identity for this trial mission.
He's this tall woman's junior brother!
This was clearly an arrangent from the Asura Field, sothing Lu Ye should have known before entering this scenario, but apparently, sothing went wrong this ti.
"Hmm?" The tall woman suddenly frowned, slowly releasing Lu Ye's ear, and studied him with suspicion before hesitantly asking, "What happened to you?"
Thoughts flashed through Lu Ye's mind, and then he said, "I… have forgotten many things." This was indeed the best way to gather useful information, pretending to be confused.
"You've forgotten many things?" The tall woman's expression changed imdiately, and she grabbed Lu Ye's wrist, concentrating to investigate.
After a while, she looked at Lu Ye: "Do you know who I am?"
Lu Ye shook his head, he truly didn't know.
Instantly, pain filled her eyes, and with a trembling voice, she asked, "Then you probably don't know who you are either?"
Lu Ye still shook his head.
Tears brimd in her beautiful eyes, and her cold expression lted away into warmth. She sighed, stepped forward, embraced Lu Ye, and gently patted his back like comforting a child: "It's okay now, you're ho, everything will be alright from now on."
Lu Ye only felt his cheeks surrounded by an astounding softness.
Monts later, Lu Ye finally understood his role in this trial mission.
He was the current Saint of the Yunluo Sacred Land!
Compared to his previous identity in a trial, this one was undoubtedly more noble. Lu Ye was satisfied. This ti, the Asura Field showed so humanity, and he didn't have to play a villain.
As for the tall woman, she was his senior sister, Sun Nianyue.
Many years ago, Lu Ye, the Saint, had left the sacred land for unknown reasons, disappearing without a trace, until today, when he suddenly returned.
It was clear that Sun Nianyue had a very good relationship with her junior brother, as every emotional change just now was a genuine expression.
"Is this your child?" Sun Nianyue looked at the baby being held by a sword-wielding woman nearby.
Lu Ye shook his head: "An elderly person entrusted him to before dying, asking to bring him here. I guess the child's relatives might be around here."
Sun Nianyue understood: "The current domain is troubled internally and externally, with countless sects destroyed. The sacred land has beco the core of resistance against foreign enemies. Eighty percent of the domain's cultivators have gathered here, following orders, with so refugees finding their way here. I'll have soone look into it; maybe there are so clues."
"That would be great." Lu Ye nodded, finding Sun Nianyue's arrangent quite appropriate. He then asked, "What's happening in this domain?"
Sun Nianyue's expression darkened and then she explained everything to Lu Ye in detail.
After her explanation, Lu Ye finally understood the overarching situation of this trial.
This is the Zhongyou World, located in a relatively prosperous star system. This ho galaxy contains several large domains, and a few years ago, a group of uninvited guests arrived, sparking conflict.
Once the news broke out, several large domains imdiately decided to join forces to fend off the invaders, assembling the Allied Forces by selecting cultivators from their realms to battle the outsiders in the stellar space.
As the battles raged, each side suffering casualties, Zhongyou World faced an invasion.
Caught off guard, the domain suffered significant losses, but luckily, the Sun Blaze stationed in the domain responded swiftly, taking appropriate counterasures.
Currently, that Sun Blaze led the domain's cultivators to form a defensive line outside the domain, but even so, many enemies infiltrated, causing mayhem and destruction within the domain.
"Those enemies… are very strange and dangerous." Sun Nianyue's tone grew heavy.
Lu Ye said, "Are they almost like having an Undying Body? Able to recover quickly from any severe injury."
"Have you encountered them?" Sun Nianyue looked at Lu Ye, astonished.
Lu Ye nodded.
Sun Nianyue said, "Indeed, their regenerative abilities are terrifying. Not even wounds that sever the head can kill them. The only way to fully kill them is to eliminate them multiple tis in a short period until they can no longer bear it. They call themselves Celestial God followers, always ntioning the Great Celestial God."
Lu Ye had personally experienced the weirdness of these so-called Celestial God followers, and naturally understood their tenacity. Not every cultivator has the skill to dispatch enemies so quickly like he does. With those followers' recovery powers, if one cannot achieve multiple kills swiftly, even an enemy with superior strength might be worn down to death.
"Is there no thod to kill them in one strike?" Lu Ye asked.
Sun Nianyue said, "That's what we need to find out."
