Time and time again, in one war zone after another, Lu Ye's support came without warning, and this was the key to helping the human race achieve great victories.
Looking at the Insect and Blood Races, there were Dao Fusion practitioners stronger than him, and if one could be mobilized in time for a targeted approach, they could naturally be contained.
Unfortunately, Lu Ye relied on the Banlan master's authority to travel through the Void, making him unfathomable.
Moreover, there was another thing that puzzled everyone: every time Lu Ye killed an enemy Dao Fusion, he would receive a Star Abyss Blessing!
This matter was quite peculiar.
The Star Abyss Blessing was hard to come by, but Lu Ye managed to obtain it frequently, causing envy among many.
During breaks from participating in battles, Lu Ye also took the time to find the remaining giant ants he needed, as he now urgently required a large amount of Dao force. Relying on Yan Xiaowu would be too uncertain, so he found it more efficient to handle it himself.
He then sent a message to Yan Xiaowu, asking him to deliver a message to the noble families on the home planet.
According to the timeline, it should be about time.
Sure enough, just after resting for a while, his authority waist tablet was vibrating.
It was a message from Yan Xiaowu: "Senior Brother Lu, for some reason, I can't enter the relic anymore."
Previously, entering the relic had been smooth and unobstructed, but this time, despite his efforts, he couldn't activate the altar to enter the relic.
"Wait for me!" Lu Ye replied and immediately dashed out from his hiding place.
There was an altar nearby that connected to the relic.
Half a day later, he arrived at the altar, entered the relic, and skillfully navigated to the core hall, using the Banlan Core to make some arrangements.
Moments later, Yan Xiaowu emerged from another passageway.
"Senior Brother Lu." Yan Xiaowu cupped his hands in greeting, with a hint of shock still lingering on his face.
Being valued by Yan Hong, Yan Xiaowu was undoubtedly clever, with keen insight.
Previously when he couldn't enter the relic regardless of his attempts, he suddenly could after talking to Lu Ye. This led him to some speculations.
Could it be that this Senior Brother Lu had already mastered the relic?
It's possible, after all, he was the first to delve into the depths of the relic. Rumors from the noble families on the home planet suggested that Lu Ye had made significant discoveries in the relic, and that his rapid growth in power might be closely tied to it as well.
Lu Ye's strength grew too abnormally. Before being captured, he was only at the Beginner level, but in just over a year, he could even kill Dao Fusion practitioners, including several recently, and the strongest one being at the 7th Order!
Everyone believed he had reached Dao Fusion, yet he could still freely enter and exit the relic, achieving what others couldn't.
All these anomalies made it hard for anyone to believe they were unrelated to the secrets deep within the relic.
"Did you bring the items?" Lu Ye asked.
Yan Xiaowu quickly produced several storage rings: "I brought everything. As per your instructions, I checked the numbers, and they are correct." Saying this, he handed the storage rings to Lu Ye.
Each of these storage rings contained a large amount of Dao Bone, which the noble families on the home planet used for trading the giant ants, with each family having a share.
There had been several collaborations before, and many families on the home planet had already obtained giant ants, but this time the scenario was different. In previous instances, it was one item per transaction, but this time there were several at once.
Therefore, before coming, the Dao Fusion practitioners from those families specifically instructed Yan Xiaowu to ensure he saw the giant ants before handing over the Dao Bones.
Yan Xiaowu naturally agreed verbally but didn't take their instructions to heart.
He trusted Lu Ye.
Besides, he had already brought the Dao Bones inside. Given Senior Brother Lu's strength, if he intended to seize them, Yan Xiaowu couldn't resist.
Lu Ye took the storage rings without checking them and casually tossed another storage ring to Yan Xiaowu.
Yan Xiaowu picked it up, deeply moved. The storage ring contained several giant ants together, and the numbers were clearly correct.
"Senior Brother Lu, giant ants are highly sought after among the noble families on the home planet. Before I came, several families' Dao Fusion practitioners asked if they could be prioritized next time." Yan Xiaowu said as he put away the storage ring.
Lu Ye shook his head and said, "There are no more. These are the last of the giant ants."
Jiu Ying didn't originally make many giant ants, and considering the four that appeared previously, there were only a little more than ten left behind over countless millennia, some of which were destroyed. Now Lu Ye had found them all, including the one he had previously hidden in the medicinal garden.
"I see. I'll pass on the message when I get back." Yan Xiaowu nodded. "Also, the Dao Fusion practitioners from the Four Great Noble Families asked me to convey to you that you're welcome on our home planet anytime."
Recently, all the fighting in various battlefields, targeting the Insect and Blood Races, had already proven Lu Ye's stance. The powerhouses on the home planet were no fools; to doubt Lu Ye now would be unreasonable.
"Understood." Lu Ye nodded slightly, not responding too much.
He wasn't planning on going to the home planet for the time being.
It is undeniable that his efforts during this period have cleared him of suspicion, but one cannot be without vigilance. After all, he was the first to explore the depths of the relics, and his power increase was so immense and bizarre that who could say for sure if anyone harbors any secret thoughts.
Therefore, before having absolute self-defense capabilities, he wouldn't easily place himself in a dangerous situation.
Perhaps one day he will head to his home planet, but definitely not now.
Yan Xiaowu didn't stay long and soon left.
After he left, Lu Ye used the Banlan Core to arrange and imprison the relics.
He took out all the Dao Bones, placed them by his side, and activated the Talent Tree's power to refine them!
The leaves on the Talent Tree changed colors, and looking broadly, the whole canopy shone golden, a spectacular sight!
Not until all the Dao Bones were fully refined did Lu Ye immerse in spirit, probing his Dao force reserves, he was shocked by the scene.
His Dao force reserve undoubtedly reached a new peak at this moment.
It couldn't be calculated precisely, but after refining this batch of Dao Bones, and adding the previous gains from fighting enemies in various battlefields, Lu Ye estimated his reserve should be around two or three hundred thousand.
If all this were used for honing Dao Bones, enhancing more than twenty paths is no doubt possible. He currently has a power of one hundred sixty paths, and improving by more than twenty paths would make it over one hundred eighty...
Lu Ye barely suppressed his restless heart.
Previously, he would have hesitated not. This Dao force would definitely be used to hone his Dao Bones, prioritizing the improvement of his strength, because only a strong enough personal strength could provide more self-defense capabilities.
But now the situation is somewhat different.
He is already the Banlan Master, and obtaining Dao force in the future isn't as troublesome. Perhaps not as efficient as this time, but with more thought and time, it can be gradually accumulated.
The urgent task is to stop Banlan's drifting.
He has been here for more than three years, and Banlan has been drifting this whole time, he doesn't even know how far away from the Qing Palace he is.
If this drifting continues, he might never find his way back.
So, he must first stop Banlan's drifting, anchoring it in one place, so that he won't get farther from the Qing Palace, and with Banlan as a fix, later leaving here to venture into the Star Abyss, he will have a clear return path and never get lost.
Banlan's level is indeed very high, and with his current capabilities, he simply can't capture it. But just stopping its drifting, it would just consume some Dao force, Lu Ye doesn't believe it, so much Dao force can't possibly be exhausted.
First stop Banlan's drifting, then use the remaining Dao force to enhance his strength!
A cup of tea later, Lu Ye had already arrived at Star Abyss, in front of him was the colorful, miniature stellar space.
With previous experience, Lu Ye was confident, Mental Consciousness surged, and Dao force was continuously consumed.
Initially, Lu Ye was still composed and calm, but as time passed, his complexion gradually changed.
Banlan's drifting speed indeed slowed down, but the Dao force consumption was exceedingly severe, almost at a rate of two or three thousand a day.
Lu Ye slowly became less confident, realizing he was somewhat presumptuous, or he had underestimated the gap between his own strength and Banlan's level.
About ten days later, Lu Ye solemnly stopped.
Banlan was still drifting forward, but the Dao force he previously accumulated has almost been used up!
A full two or three hundred thousand Dao force, yet it couldn't completely stop Banlan, such consumption was simply absurd.
However, relative to ten days ago, Banlan's drifting speed is much slower now, if the previous drift was like a person running, now it's as slow as a crawling turtle.
Calculating under such circumstances, it might take a few more thousand Dao forces to completely stop Banlan.
Lu Ye always felt something was not quite right.
Even if his current strength is insufficient, the consumption shouldn't be this huge, he was only trying to stop Banlan's drifting.
Jiu Ying, as the former master, must have a very high realm. But if switched over, does it also require consuming this much Dao force to do the same?
That's several hundred thousand Dao force; even someone as strong as Jiu Ying wouldn't find it easy to obtain, would they?
And this is just to stop Banlan's drifting, what about wanting to control Banlan? Would it casually consume tens of thousands of Dao forces?
Lu Ye always felt there was something he hadn't figured out.
However, with things as they were, this had to suffice for the time being. Banlan's drifting speed has now slowed significantly, and after accumulating some Dao force later, it can be dealt with again.
Having dealt with this matter, Lu Ye felt less urgent. He has always been worried about finding his way back, for if not, no matter how strong he becomes in the future, he wouldn't be able to resolve the crisis over there without returning to stellar space.
Several years have passed, and he doesn't know what the situation in stellar space is like now.
But based on previous experience in Cover Armor stellar space, the Star Abyss invasion is a very lengthy process; barring any unexpected events, it shouldn't have changed much in just a few years.
