Sage of Humanity

Although Insect Paths now breed throughout the stellar space, their scale is still not enough for a whole domain to pass through.

Moreover, with the Great Tide about to descend and the Star Abyss on the verge of invading, Lu Ye had no mind to keep piecing together the Blood Ancestor's remaining body. That had just been a spur-of-the-moment idea back then; whether it succeeded or not didn't really matter.

He hadn't expected an unforeseen windfall like this.

The stirring in his Bloodline was clearly triggered by the lingering obsession within the Blood Ancestor's remnant body.

There had been no such reaction before because the remnant was too broken. But now, the six main Blood Race Worlds had already gathered three, and it was the torso plus both arms—just enough to form a Blood Race secret imprint!

With this secret imprint, the remaining three domains could be drawn and guided to converge in this direction.

Just like how, over the years, the core of Mount Fangcun had pulled all its separated portions back home.

The Blood Race's high-end combat strength had already been wiped out in one sweep by Lu Ye, so even if there were still Blood Race remnants in those three domains, they were no longer a climate to be feared and could be ignored. The long journey through the stellar space would be enough to grind them to dust. When, someday, those three domains finally returned, the remnants could fuse into one, and the Blood Ancestor's former glory would reappear.

In the Nine Provinces, Righteous Blood Sect, Emerald Bamboo Peak.

Though Lu Ye had been away for a long time, this was still his spirit mountaintop, and the sect had arranged for Maids to keep it clean.

In the bamboo loft, Lu Ye sat upright. In front of him sprawled a fat rabbit with red eyes and white fur—Number Nine. After the World-Merging of the Qingli Dao World and Jade Conch, this fellow had somehow gotten much fatter.

The finger-sized Little Flower Girl wore a tiny flower hat, hugging a teapot in both hands, huffing and puffing as she poured tea for Lu Ye. She accidentally overpoured and some tea spilled out. She glanced down, stepped right into the puddle; the tea was quickly sucked clean. Smacking her lips, her little brows furrowed, her expression clearly bitter.

Lu Ye thanked her, and Little Flower Girl looked up at him and gave a sweet smile.

After taking a sip of tea, Lu Ye finally spoke: "Reasonably speaking, you are the Nine Provinces' Heaven and Earth's Will, so you should have the same authority as a World Lord, right?"

"I guess…" Number Nine wasn't sure either.

Lu Ye said, "In other words, you can draw out the Nine Provinces' foundation and infuse it into a cultivator's body, helping them increase their strength faster?"

He had sensed this back on Mount Fangcun, and then thought of the Nine Provinces here.

Number Nine might not be a World Lord, but what it could do would not be inferior to a World Lord.

"Can I?" Number Nine looked completely confused.

Lu Ye gazed at it with a faint smile.

Number Nine lifted its eyes to stare at the roof, looking a bit uncomfortable as it said, "I can, but doing that would damage the Nine Provinces' foundation. It's like killing the chicken to get the eggs. Back then I also wanted to help you this way, but you have to understand, that was when the Nine Provinces had just advanced to a big world not long before. Later, seeing how fast you were cultivating on your own, I didn't bring it up. I wasn't deliberately hiding it from you."

"So that's how it is…"

"Of course!" Number Nine's expression turned solemn. "And this kind of forcing growth will make the one who receives the infusion lack the process of gradual accumulation. Their roots will always be a bit hollow, and they may have to spend more time later to correct and settle their foundation."

Lu Ye nodded. He naturally understood this logic; that was also why, even back in the All Phenomena Ocean, he would always pause cultivation every time he broke through.

Progressing in cultivation too quickly is actually not a good thing.

"Why bring this up all of a sudden?" Number Nine asked, puzzled.

Lu Ye's expression grew grave. "The Great Tide is coming. Judging from our current preparations, our home stellar space won't have too big a problem in the short term, but no one can say what will happen afterward. We need more Dao Realm experts, and to advance into Dao Realm, the prerequisite is cultivation reaching Peak Sun Blaze. Looking across the entire stellar space, the number of Peak Sun Blaze cultivators is not exactly small, but certainly not many either."

Number Nine understood. "So you want to sacrifice the Nine Provinces' foundation to forge a batch of Peak Sun Blaze cultivators?"

"That alone is naturally not enough." Lu Ye shook his head. "To reach Peak Sun Blaze, it's not just about Mana; there are also requirements concerning the Soul Suppressing Secret Technique!"

Number Nine blinked. It didn't know much about the finer details of a cultivator's path.

"I came to talk to you about this today just so you can be mentally prepared. Perhaps one day I'll need your help to set this in motion."

Number Nine's expression struggled; in the end, it still sighed. "Since you've put it like that, what else can I say? But if we do this, the Nine Provinces' foundation will continuously drain away."

"Relax. When that day really comes, I'll find a way to replenish the Nine Provinces' foundation. But before that, I have to solve another problem first."

The problem of helping others temper their Soul Suppressing Secret Technique!

He had some ideas on how to resolve this, but whether he could actually pull it off, he didn't know.

There was no problem on Number Nine's side. If the issue of tempering the Soul Suppressing Secret Technique could be solved, then this stellar space could more quickly cultivate a group of Peak Sun Blaze experts.

These were all things he'd realized after Mount Fangcun was unified and he experienced the authority of a World Lord. Before that, he had never even considered this path.

A short while later, Lu Ye departed.

About half a day after that, Mount Fangcun, which had lingered outside the Nine Provinces World for many years, stirred slightly and then began its long voyage.

Lu Ye split off a Talent Tree Avatar to steer Mount Fangcun. This trip wouldn't take too long; with the help of the newly formed Insect Paths, it would only take a month to reach the Tiangang Galaxy.

Once everything is settled over there, Mount Fangcun will be the core of resisting the Tiangang breach.

Within Mount Fangcun, atop Immortal Spirit Peak.

The Dwarf Race Sun Blaze cultivators had all gathered.

Originally, Mount Fangcun had thirteen Sun Blaze cultivators, but today there were fifteen. The two newly advanced ones were those who broke through their shackles when Mount Fangcun was unified a few days ago.

However, among the Sun Blaze cultivators gathered here, there were only the original thirteen, because those two newly advanced ones still needed to go into seclusion to stabilize their cultivation.

Among the thirteen, Su Yuqing and Chen Xuanhai of the Eastern Region, and Yuk Qinglou of the Southern Region, were at Peak Sun Blaze; the others ranged from Sun Blaze Early Stage to Late Stage.

Lu Ye sat at the head, his gaze sweeping over everyone. "Senior brothers, senior sisters, are you ready?"

Everyone nodded.

"Then let's begin." As Lu Ye spoke, with a surge of his mind, Mount Fangcun trembled slightly, and then, aside from the places where the three Peak Sun Blaze cultivators were, at the locations of the remaining ten people, an extremely surging and pure energy suddenly welled up, engulfing them in an instant.

This was undoubtedly Lu Ye drawing upon Mount Fangcun's domain foundation to aid these ten in their cultivation, helping them enhance their strength more quickly.

This was also a trial. Although Lu Ye felt this could be done, without actually doing it how could he know the difficulties involved? At the very least he needed to know what kind of consumption this would have on the domain's foundation.

Under his perception, Lu Ye could sense the depletion of Mount Fangcun's foundation. A one‑time assistance to ten Sun Blaze cultivators' cultivation like this indeed incurred consumption.

However, it was still within a bearable range; if it was only maintained for a month, it wouldn't have much impact on Mount Fangcun.

But if this continued long term, then it would not do. Without suitable replenishment, such an approach would undoubtedly be fishing by draining the pond.

Therefore, even a top‑tier domain like Yellow Dragon World, Gu Yunliu rarely used such a method to assist others' cultivation. Only for exceptionally good seedlings would he occasionally do so.

Gu Sheng had once enjoyed such treatment.

"What Junior Brother Woo and Junior Brother Zhang lack now is the accumulation of Mana; their Soul Suppressing Secret Technique is fine. In this way, it shouldn't take long for them to advance to Peak Sun Blaze." Chen Xuanhai spoke slowly beside Lu Ye.

For veteran Sun Blaze cultivators like Woo Qimo and Zhang Kun, who had remained at the Sun Blaze level for untold years, they naturally had plenty of time to polish their Soul Suppressing Secret Technique, so in terms of cultivation of the psyche, their progress was actually a step ahead of their Mana.

This was also the common situation for most veteran Sun Blaze cultivators.

The reason Woo Qimo and Zhang Kun were only at Sun Blaze Late Stage was precisely their deficiency in Mana. If this shortcoming were remedied, they would be solidly at Peak Sun Blaze.

In this way, among the Dwarf Race alone, there would be five Peak Sun Blaze cultivators. These were all future Dao Realm seedlings, only waiting for the Star Abyss invasion to attempt forging their Dao foundation.

Leaving everyone here to cultivate, Lu Ye's true body flickered with a Single Flash and appeared outside Mount Fangcun, where he sat down cross‑legged.

He intended to seize this opportunity to comprehend the mysteries of this supreme treasure.

Although he had become the master of this supreme treasure by refining Mount Fangcun's core, and steering it on their journey did not cost much effort, he could still feel that extremely profound power was hidden within this supreme treasure.

It was not merely a treasure that nurtured an internal domain, that simple.

A month passed quickly. With the Talent Tree Avatar steering Mount Fangcun, his true body did not need to worry.

His comprehension of the Power of Supreme Treasure had made some progress, but Lu Ye discovered that with his current strength, trying to activate it was extremely difficult; it felt like a mortal trying to lift a ten‑thousand‑jin boulder.

His cultivation was not enough!

Lu Ye understood in his heart that to truly mobilize the power of this supreme treasure, his current barely‑7th Dao level was far from sufficient.

This left him somewhat disappointed, but on reflection it was only to be expected.

The stronger the power, the deeper the foundation required to wield it. A three‑year‑old child swinging a greatsword can only end up hurting himself.

After a month, although the ten Dwarf Race Sun Blaze cultivators had not broken through, they had all undoubtedly gained huge benefits from this month of cultivation, saving them much time of arduous seclusion.

And after passing through several Insect Paths, Mount Fangcun finally arrived at the Tiangang Galaxy.

The entire star system was clearly bustling. In the stellar space, one could often see starboats or battleships passing by, and everyone was heading in the same direction.

Universe in the Mist!

This was a stellar space marvel within the Tiangang Galaxy, somewhat similar to the Mist Dragon Lu Ye had encountered before: a vast dense fog shrouding the starry sky, and there, was where the supreme treasure Universe Cauldron was located.

The Universe in the Mist marvel, like the birth of the All Phenomena Ocean, was caused by the Power of Supreme Treasure.

However, unlike the Mist Dragon, which did nothing more than cause people to lose their way, the Universe in the Mist, due to the diffusion of the supreme treasure's power over hundreds of thousands of years, had given birth to countless layers of space, and none who entered it had ever emerged again.

In theory, such a perilous place meant that even if Star Abyss cultivators invaded from this side, they would absolutely not have an easy time.

But Tree Elder had once said that whether it was the Constellation Palace or the Universe Cauldron, after blocking stellar space breaches for hundreds of thousands of years, both had expended an enormous amount of power. The profundities of the Universe Cauldron could in fact no longer be maintained for much longer. Once this breach opened, the Universe Cauldron would enter a state of recuperation, and at that time, it would be up to the stellar space cultivators to exert their strength.
