Sage of Humanity

Jiu Yan and others had previously told Lu Ye that the more Dao Bones one had, the more efficient cultivation would be in the Star Abyss. However, in the past, he didn't have any Dao Bones, so he couldn't try it out.

Now, upon returning with six Dao Bones polished, he realized through some attempts that it was indeed the case.

However, it was still far less efficient than cultivating with the help of the Talent Tree.

The method of arduous cultivation wasn't feasible.

After staying in the Qing Palace for a few days, Lu Ye made up his mind.

With tears in her eyes, Yin Luo gazed at him, "You're leaving? Where are you going? When will you come back?"

Lu Ye said, "I don't know either, but I will definitely come back to see you."

"Can't you not go?" Yin Luo clutched at his clothes, not letting go, really about to cry.

Finally, Lu Ye had returned, and she thought she could be carefree ever after. Who knew that after just a few days, Lu Ye would be leaving again.

Yin Luo was truly reluctant.

Lu Ye had to play his trump card: "I might as well search for Qing Jun's traces along the way. If I have any news, I will come back to inform you."

"Qing Jun!" Yin Luo's expression brightened. Only then did she slowly release her grip and sniffed, "Then you must be careful. The Star Abyss is very dangerous. If you find Qing Jun, tell him that I miss him very much, and I will be here to guard his stellar space."

"Be good!" Lu Ye rubbed her head.

"Kid," Uncle Duan suddenly spoke from the side, "Take this."

As he spoke, he tossed something over. Lu Ye caught it with his hand and found that it was a pitch-black pearl, and the feeling it gave him was very strange, somewhat filthy.

"What is this?" Lu Ye asked.

Uncle Duan said, "You can call it the Filth Pearl. It's a little thing I crafted back in the day. Keep it with you, and if needed, infuse it with Mana to activate it. It can conceal the aura on you."

Lu Ye tried infusing it with Mana, and instantly, a wave of aura surged out from the Filth Pearl, enveloping him.

Feeling it slightly, Lu Ye was overjoyed and put away the Filth Pearl: "Thank you, Uncle Duan!" Given his presence in the Star Abyss, there was a major problem he couldn't solve, which was aura.

Unlike Jiu Yan and the others, who had stayed in the Star Abyss for many years, refining Star Abyss ambience and numerous Dao Bones, their bodies had been steeped in Star Abyss ambience, making them essentially no different from other Star Abyss living creatures.

However, he was the only one whose aura remained pure due to the Talent Tree.

This was the biggest reason Yin Luo liked consuming his Treasure Blood Avatar.

Normally, it wasn't an issue, but once in a confrontation, letting his aura leak out was like a light in the dark night, attracting lots of attention from Star Abyss living creatures.

This was a problem Lu Ye didn't know how to solve.

But the Filth Pearl given by Uncle Duan could conceal his pure aura, disguising him as a Star Abyss living creature.

Uncle Duan was also a stellar space refugee who survived after some stellar space shattered. This Filth Pearl was undoubtedly crafted by him for himself back in the day, and now that it's useless, he gave it to Lu Ye.

Uncle Duan snorted coldly, "Don't die out there, or the young lady will be heartbroken. Moreover, you'd better disguise yourself; the situation for the human race in the Star Abyss...is not very good."

"Why is that?" It was the first time Lu Ye learned this information. Though he had been surviving in the Star Abyss for quite some time, the information he had interacted with wasn't much.

Uncle Duan shook his head: "Not quite clear. All I know is that most races in the Star Abyss look down on the human race. If you categorize Star Abyss races into high, middle, and low classes, the human race is generally lower-middle tier."

Lu Ye pondered over this.

He understood in his heart, if not for Yin Luo, Uncle Duan wouldn't have said so much to him, and even if the Filth Pearl was useless, Uncle Duan wouldn't have casually given it to him, as there wasn't much friendship between them.

With plans made, parting was inevitable.

Under Yin Luo's reluctant gaze, Lu Ye flew out of the Qing Palace, heading towards the depths of the Star Abyss.

The Star Abyss was desolate, perhaps because Star Abyss Gate had been open in recent years, creatures nearby had gathered, so on this journey, Lu Ye didn't see even a single figure.

Bored while traveling, Lu Ye simply let his Treasure Blood Avatar pilot the starboat while he focused on cultivation.

Though the efficiency was not high, even mosquito meat is meat. To grind all his bones into Dao Bones, he would need an extremely large amount of Dao force, and every bit of accumulation couldn't be ignored.

A month later, he finally reached the place he'd visited before, diving into the big sun, letting the Talent Tree's roots extend and devour freely.

Only after replenishing the fuel completely did he leave, continuing forward, while the sun behind him dimmed a bit.

Continuing forward, Lu Ye finally encountered some scattered Star Abyss living creatures. The numbers weren't large, and their strength wasn't strong. Lu Ye only slightly revealed his aura, which caused these creatures to recklessly attack, as a result, without exception, they all became victims under his saber.

After becoming a Dao soldier, although the Boulder Mountain Saber hadn't received nurturing and was just the lowest level of Dao soldier, its sharpness was significantly superior to before.

Lu Ye suspected that even those top-tier protective magic treasures wouldn't withstand a few heavy strikes from the Boulder Mountain Saber, even if he didn't use Dao force.

Compared to the past when he travelled with Jiu Yan and others, sneaking and hiding, he now had a certain degree of self-preservation power. He dared not claim to be unstoppable, but at least he didn't need to be so cautious.

The further away from the Star Abyss Gate he went, the more Star Abyss living creatures he encountered.

Months of combat, coupled with arduous cultivation, finally accumulated Lu Ye's Dao force to over three thousand.

This efficiency isn't actually low, but relative to his needs, it is definitely not high. Mainly, the strength of the enemies he encountered was not strong. Over these months, the strongest he killed was a 7th Dao cultivator, who only had three Dao Bones, with the remaining Dao force being minimal.

He can try to polish the Dao Bones now.

Finding a place, Lu Ye sat cross-legged, splitting out a Treasure Blood Avatar to monitor the surroundings, and activated the Dao force, slowly injecting it into the chosen bone.

The nurturing and transformation by the Dao force caused some marvelous changes in the bone, even the color gradually became rich with a golden glow.

According to previous experiences, after consuming nearly a hundred threads of Dao force, the bone would no longer withstand the polishing and would shatter.

But this time, it seemed luck was on his side; the Dao force continued to be injected, and the Dao Bone showed no signs of shattering.

It wasn't until two hundred Dao force was consumed, completing the polishing of the Dao Bone, that Lu Ye suddenly came back to his senses.

He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Did he succeed?

He actually succeeded in one go, something that had never happened before.

Counting this Dao Bone, he had polished seven Dao Bones now, the best streak before had taken at least three attempts for success, such a one-shot success was a first for him.

He knew it was possible for this to happen, but didn't expect it to happen to him.

It's a pity the Dice of Fate was devoured by him; otherwise, he would definitely roll it at this moment to surely get an auspicious result.

Luck is on my side, keep going!

Lu Ye gathered his spirits and continued polishing the Dao Bone.

Half a day passed, he rose with a face of pain and heartache, cloak of killing intent covered on him as he rushed out of seclusion, looking for targets to slay.

The so-called luck was, after all, just an illusion.

The eighth Dao Bone consumed nearly a thousand Dao force, yet didn't succeed.

At this moment, he couldn't figure out whether he was lucky or unlucky.

The Void in the Star Abyss is actually a part of certain stellar spaces, with more shattered stellar spaces, the Star Abyss continues to expand.

In the Void, a group of about twenty figures were moving rapidly, led by a mature and elegant woman who appeared to be in her thirties.

The Star Abyss, though filled with chaos and slaughter, still harbors various large and small factions, most comprised of local Star Abyss cultivators, and some from remnants of shattered stellar spaces.

No matter how they were formed, the ultimate goal was to band together for warmth and survival.

The twenty-some figures moved with haste, clearly on a journey.

Suddenly, the leading woman stopped abruptly, raising her hand to gesture.

Everyone behind her halted, faces showing vigilance. Following the woman's gaze, they noticed a lone figure approaching leisurely from that direction.

But soon, that figure seemed to realize they were discovered, hastily turned and fled in the opposite direction.

When the person hadn't started running, they hadn't sensed much; but once he moved, his aura was unmistakable.

"A lost one?" someone exclaimed suspiciously, the pure aura was clearly new to the Star Abyss, not yet tainted by its ambience.

The woman sighed, "A pitiful soul as well."

They all had gone through this phase, knowing how desolate and panicked cultivators were when their stellar spaces shattered.

Only after spending years in the Star Abyss could one truly integrate, but how many cultivators manage to pass this stage smoothly? It could be said, this stage is the most perilous.

"Chen Wu, bring the person over, he seems to be from the human race, although, from which stellar space is unknown."

The emergence of such a lost one undoubtedly indicates a recent shattering of a stellar space, with a fragment drifting nearby.

"Yes!" The cultivator named Chen Wu responded, moving forward to chase the lost one.

As Lu Ye fled, he noticed this and felt somewhat dissatisfied: "Why just one?"

During this time, using his unique aura as bait, he had lured in quite a few.

He thought this time would be the same; once his aura was exposed, the group of Star Abyss cultivators would surely give a frantic chase, but only one was sent over.

This was quite different from his expectation.

If they all came to kill him, he'd stimulate the Blood Sea, ensuring no one escapes, turning all into his power capital!

Currently, he could only first engage this one in battle and then draw others into the trap.

However, he needed to engage them first to gauge the opponent's Dao force strength.

Just as Lu Ye pondered this, a voice reached him from afar: "Fellow Daoist, do not panic, we mean you no harm. You have just entered the Star Abyss and may not know its dangers. Chen, under the orders of the lady, is here to assist."
