Sage of Humanity

Lu Ye quickly sensed the location of the Treasure Blood Avatar that had entered earlier, but due to isolation, before the main body entered, the Treasure Blood Avatar was like a living dead without any consciousness and was still far from him...

Additionally, he also sensed the location of the Talent Tree Avatar, which was likewise in a distant place.

Aside from the Talent Tree Avatar, speaking of Lu Ye's main body and the Treasure Blood Avatar, although they entered here one after another, their positions may not seem too far apart, yet in this stellar space, they were actually very distant.

Lu Ye breathed a sigh of relief. The Talent Tree Avatar must not be lost, it's good to have found it.

Just at this moment, there seemed to be some abnormalities over at the avatar...

His mind stirred, constructing Void Spirit Runes, and he directly teleported to where the avatar was.

"Hey, wake up, or I'll throw you away if you don't wake up." Just as he appeared, a somewhat anxious voice sounded beside his ear.

Lu Ye looked up and saw the Talent Tree Avatar being carried on the shoulder of a man who was running away, with two others beside him, looking panicked.

It was no wonder they were like this, as they had pursuers behind them.

Lu Ye's sudden appearance obviously caught the attention of the three, startling them all, and they quickly scattered, taking up a defensive posture.

However, after seeing Lu Ye's face, the three were momentarily stunned, especially the man carrying the avatar, who couldn't help but glance at the avatar's face again.

Lu Ye raised his hand, summoning the avatar back to him.

This delay allowed the pursuers to catch up.

The man who had been carrying the avatar cursed in anger, "Fight to the death with them!"

The other two said nothing, but their expressions were resolute.

The man looked up at Lu Ye again, his expression stern: "Fellow Daoist, we'll talk later. If you want to survive, help us out. Don't even think about begging for mercy; falling into the hands of the Blood Race, you'll only become a container for Bone Growing. It's a fate worse than death!"

"You don't need to say more!" Lu Ye nodded. In this brief moment, he had discerned what kind of pursuers they were.

Surprisingly, they were the Blood Race.

Silently, he thought to himself that he had just gotten rid of the Insect Race, only to encounter the Blood Race.

"Kill!" the man roared, charging forward to meet them, his two companions following closely behind.

Lu Ye was initially unsure of their strength, but upon deploying his Dao force, he vaguely sensed that the strength of the three was not particularly high, only around the 6th or 7th Dao level.

With this in mind, the Blood Race chasing them couldn't be much stronger either.

The fact was, these Blood Race were indeed not exceptional, relying only on their numbers to wreak havoc. Lu Ye drew his saber and advanced; it was almost one cut for each enemy.

In just a brief moment, these Blood Race were completely wiped out.

What they thought would be a fight to the death, with survival uncertain, was unexpectedly concluded so quickly.

All three pairs of eyes looked at Lu Ye in astonishment, only then realizing that they had just rescued a 9th Dao cultivator!

"Fellow Daoist, I know you have many questions, but this is not the place to talk. Please follow me first." the man said, taking the lead to guide the way.

Lu Ye nodded, following swiftly.

In a massive floating land, the four concealed themselves within.

The three men had obviously gone through a fierce battle earlier, each bearing wounds. Honestly, if not for Lu Ye's intervention this time, they might not have survived.

However, being cultivators who had Entered the Path, recovering from injuries was not difficult.

They first exchanged names; Lu Ye then learned that the lead man was named Kang Xing, with the other two being a man and a woman, the woman Jyang Yuning, and the man Zhao Tuo. Apart from Kang Xing, who was at the 7th Dao level, Jyang Yuning and Zhao Tuo were both at the 6th Dao level.

"Fellow Daoist, did you unintentionally enter here?" Kang Xing asked.

"More or less." Lu Ye nodded. While his main body entered deliberately, the avatar did so accidentally, so the main body had to chase in.

"Alas," Kang Xing sighed, "we are the same. Every cultivator here was basically swallowed up unintentionally."

Lu Ye's brows furrowed upon hearing this: "How long have you been here?"

Kang Xing replied, "Not very long, really. I've been here the longest, just a few decades. These two have been here no more than twenty years." After pausing, he continued. "I know you want to ask about leaving. Once here, there's no way out; not even for those who've achieved Dao Fusion, many of whom have been trapped for thousands of years."

Lu Ye was taken aback: "Those who've achieved Dao Fusion are trapped?"

This was quite ominous.

If he were trapped here for thousands or tens of thousands of years, what would become of the stellar space? His purpose in coming to the Star Abyss was to quickly bolster his strength and return to resolve the stellar crisis.

Not to mention thousands or tens of thousands of years, but even a few hundred years was a delay Lu Ye couldn't afford.

"What exactly is this place? And what was that cluster of stellar sand cloud I saw before entering?" Lu Ye asked.

Kang Xing responded, "This is the Yiyuan stellar space, but unlike a normal stellar space, not naturally formed, but nurtured by a powerful being."

"Nurtured?" Lu Ye wondered, then his expression changed: "Dao soldier?"

The only thing that can be nurtured to such an extent would be a Dao soldier.

Kang Xing nodded solemnly, "Indeed, it's a Dao soldier, named Banlan!"

A storm raged in Lu Ye's heart. Although these words came from Kang Xing, a 7th Dao cultivator, they were certainly not baseless.

The Dao soldier named Banlan encompassed an entire stellar space. How terrifying.

Although the Boulder Mountain Saber had already become a Dao soldier, Lu Ye could hardly imagine the cost to elevate it to Banlan's level.

"What happened to the master of this Dao soldier?"

"Naturally, perished in battle, hence the Dao soldier was left behind."

Lu Ye's eye twitched. The immense majesty of Banlan was unimaginable, and its master must have been a mighty figure. Such a powerful individual actually fell in battle.

Kang Xing continued, "Banlan drifts in the Star Abyss, devouring wherever it reaches. If cultivators carelessly fall into it, they will be trapped, just like us."

Beside him, Zhao Tuo spoke ruefully, "You were trapped by accident; I was too curious for my own good, regretting my initial decision."

Lu Ye looked at him as Kang Xing laughed, "Brother Zhao, upon first seeing Banlan, thought it a treasure and wanted to explore it, thus getting trapped."

There must be many like Zhao Tuo. Greed is a universal trait among people. Treasures are indeed treasures, but such treasures are usually not for the ordinary.

"Over countless years, who knows how many cultivators have fallen into this Banlan stellar space? This will likely continue. Now that Fellow Daoist is here, what are your plans?"

Lu Ye remained silent in contemplation.

Having understood the situation from Kang Xing, he was at a loss for what to do next.

"Is there really no way to leave?" Lu Ye asked, unwilling to give up.

Kang Xing shook his head, "In any case, I've never heard of anyone leaving. Perhaps those in Dao Fusion know more, but such information is beyond our reach."

Lu Ye nodded in agreement, as this was only reasonable.

After some thought, Kang Xing suggested, "If you wish to gather more information, you might as well come with us to the battle alliance, where a Dao Fusion expert resides."

"The battle alliance?" Lu Ye asked, looking puzzled.

Kang Xing explained, "Although there are cultivators of various races within this Banlan stellar space, there are mainly three factions. The first, dominated by us humans, occupies a portion of the domain as a base, consisting of not only humans but also some cultivators of other races."

"The second faction, led by the Giant Race, also harbors many cultivators from other races. The third and strongest faction is the Insect and Blood Races!"

At this point, Kang Xing's expression became heavy.

Lu Ye showed a look of disgust. Though he'd seen Blood Race members chasing Kang Xing and others, the ubiquity of these two races was still exasperating.

"The Insect and Blood Races have always sought to control Banlan stellar space. Hence, we've been in collaboration with the Giants, resisting their assaults. The central region of the entire stellar space is a battlefield, with the battle alliance being the foundation of our human race at the fringes of the battlefield."

"Then let's go together!" Lu Ye nodded.

With the three factions in this Banlan stellar space, as a human, he naturally ought to join the human side. Even if he hadn't intended it, surviving here required making a choice.

"Excellent. Fellow Daoist has a 9th Dao-level strength, no small feat. In the future, great accomplishments are inevitable. Once you advance to Dao Fusion, your future is bright!"

"By the way, Brother Kang, I forgot to ask, are there any Dao Harmony experts here?"

"There are no Dao Harmony experts. Someone of such power must have heard of Banlan's name and would not rashly enter."

Lu Ye understood.

In that sense, anyone who has heard of Banlan's reputation is unlikely to fall here unless, like his doppelganger, they are swallowed without warning.

Kang Xing and others were initially planning to return to the battle alliance, but unexpectedly encountered that Blood Race squad on their way, compelling them to hide to avoid confrontation.

It was at this moment Lu Ye's doppelganger suddenly appeared, attracting the Blood Race squad.

They could have left him to perish, but as fellow humans, they couldn't bear it and instead, fled with Lu Ye's doppelganger.

Though the loss of the Talent Tree Avatar, even if killed, would be minor for Lu Ye, as he could simply retrieve that section of root later, Kang Xing and others' assistance was something he appreciated greatly.

As a token of gratitude, Lu Ye gave them the Dao Bone from the Blood Race squad he had previously slain.

Despite Kang Xing's refusal initially, he eventually accepted.

This place was already near the edge of the battlefield, so there were few strong experts. About a day later, the group of four left the battlefield behind and could see the location of the battle alliance from afar.

It turned out to be a domain, within which stood a giant city, sprawling over countless miles of land.

At the sight, Lu Ye was somewhat awestruck. Frankly, he had never seen such an enormous city before.

Inside, it was bustling with people, including not only those in the Dao Realm but even those below it, and even a large number of mortals!

Seeing Lu Ye's confusion, Kang Xing explained, "Banlan has existed for countless years. These mortals have been reproducing and thriving over time. Not only here, but the domains our human race controls also have other domains inhabited by many living beings."
