Chapter 579 - 577: Celestial Realm Second Layer! Xiao Yudie Wants to Poach from the Celestial Palace? Inviting Lu Ye to Join the Sea Spirit Hall?
What was he called, God of Slaughter or something!
Now that I see him, this guy definitely hasn’t spared any lives!
He’s incredibly skilled.
Just then, from afar, shadows once again moved towards us.
After all, aside from the strange fragrance that spread earlier and then vanished, there was also the scent of blood lingering in the area.
Not to mention the Heavenly Thunder Power Lu Ye had triggered, making things quite lively.
With such continuous commotion, cultivators within a thousand miles almost all noticed something.
It just depended on whether they wanted to come and see what was going on.
Those coming over clearly wanted to take a look.
"Let’s go, someone is coming." Lu Ye was the first to sense it, and immediately called out.
Qing Yu had always listened to Lu Ye unconditionally, and upon hearing his words, she immediately followed as Lu Ye took the lead and left the place.
As for Xiao Yudie...
If initially, the decision to cooperate with this person and explore that opportunity was mainly due to his terrifying use of Divine Techniques,
then it was indeed a huge plus.
And now, the Sea Spirit Saintess from the Boundless Sea was completely convinced.
Completely impressed.
So, without hesitation, she also left immediately.
Half a minute later, cultivators cautiously arrived at the spot, only to find traces of fierce battles on the ground, but no bodies or any sign of people.
"Huh, there was so much commotion here, is the fight over? Where is everyone?"
A confused cultivator who had rushed over asked.
...
On the other side.
Traveling several hundred miles with the two women, they peacefully returned to the spot where they camped for the night before.
Only then did Lu Ye speak, "Alright, let’s rest."
Qing Yu was about to suggest letting her little Ten stay up to watch the night so they could rest when she heard Lu Ye continue.
"I just want to train for a while, so no need to rest. You go ahead."
After absorbing the gifts from ascending to the Celestial Realm, Lu Ye was only a step away from the Celestial Realm Second Layer.
Now with some additional resources, Lu Ye planned to use the night to officially advance to the Celestial Realm Second Layer!
"Alright then."
Upon hearing this, Qing Yu nodded. Having the lord keep watch was more reassuring than relying on little Ten, who was equivalent to the Earth Realm Late Stage.
Once the two women entered the tent, Lu Ye immediately activated the Ancient Star Scripture outside of it.
He took out six Source Crystals he had acquired not long ago, and in almost an instant, they vanished one by one, their energy fully absorbed into Lu Ye’s body.
With his cultivation already at the Celestial Realm First Layer Late Stage, in less than five minutes, he smoothly advanced to the Celestial Realm Second Layer.
Inside the tent, Xiao Yudie naturally hadn’t fallen asleep.
She was initially spacing out inside the tent.
When the Heaven and Earth Source Qi outside underwent a large-scale change, she wasn’t as surprised as the first time after knowing Lu Ye’s terrifying absorption ability.
But after a few minutes, a sudden, immensely strong aura appeared outside, only to vanish quickly, jolting the Saintess back to her senses.
"What’s he doing again?!"
A breakthrough?
But didn’t this monster just seemingly break through to the Celestial Realm a few days ago?!
Another breakthrough now, is that reasonable?
However, thinking of the overwhelmingly substantial Celestial Realm gift Lu Ye received compared to both her and the Yuanyang Saint Son after his breakthrough, Xiao Yudie had some realization.
Could it be the accumulation from that gift?
In another tent, Qing Yu was also cultivating, but knowing the lord’s terrifying absorption capabilities, she didn’t deliberately absorb the Heaven and Earth Source Qi outside.
Instead, she used the resources she carried with her.
The Sea Spirit Saintess was the contemporary saintess of the Sea Spirit Hall, and she was also the contemporary saintess of the Beast Spirit Holy Mountain. Yet, she hadn’t revealed this title.
As a Saintess of the Beast Spirit Holy Mountain, Qing Yu, who hadn’t been out for long, carried ample suitable resources for her use.
Feeling the commotion outside the tent, Qing Yu briefly stopped cultivating, touched her hand, chuckled, and resumed her cultivation technique, entering into a circulation cycle.
...
One night quickly passed.
Just as dawn broke, Xiao Yudie came out and immediately called for the two to continue their journey.
After all, it was already the sixth day, and there were only four days left before the Mist Heaven Hall would close. Without any unexpected events, the journey would still take about one to two days.
After packing up the tent, the three continued deeper in the southwest direction.
Xiao Yudie glanced at Lu Ye, who didn’t seem much different from the previous day, and curiously asked, "Did you advance again last night?"
Lu Ye, indifferent, replied, "Why do you ask?"
"Didn’t you just recently advance? Why not consider coming to my Sea Spirit Hall instead? With your talent, you’d be wasting it in Lingyao Celestial Palace." After a moment’s thought, Xiao Yudie said.
She was actually trying to poach him!
Lu Ye: "..."
Xiao Yudie continued, "If you come, you’ll be the Saint Son of the Sea Spirit Hall, with whatever you want at your disposal..."
Lu Ye rubbed his temples and quickly interrupted, "Enough, I’m not interested in the Sea Spirit Hall."
Hearing this, Xiao Yudie felt it was a bit of a pity.
If their Sea Spirit Hall could have another person like him... completely surpassing the Yuanyang Palace would be easily within reach.
Qing Yu had anticipated this outcome. She knew the lord cherished feelings to some extent.
If it weren’t for the Red Cloud Sect sending him out for a political marriage, he probably would still be in the Red Cloud Sect even now.
Even though the current Red Cloud Sect was entirely a small sect for him, offering no help or background.
Xiao Yudie, after some thought, continued the conversation to avoid monotony on the road.
"By the way, are you a new member of the Lingyao Celestial Palace? There wasn’t anyone like you before, or we would have heard of you by now."
Lu Ye nodded, as there was nothing to hide.
Curious, Xiao Yudie asked, "Where were you before? Or were you always a loose cultivator?"
After a moment of silence, Lu Ye calmly replied, "I was a loose cultivator."
Qing Yu: "..."
Clearly from the Red Cloud Sect!
However, Qing Yu also knew that the lord probably didn’t cherish that period of his life.
It’s understandable that he didn’t want to mention it.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yudie thought it a pity. If only she had come to the Northern Territory earlier to train.
With her keen eye for talents, she’d surely have discovered this unpolished gem of a loose cultivator?
Traveling with all their might, the three made faster progress today than yesterday.
Throughout the journey, Lu Ye was always prepared to encounter that Bloodthirsty Tree Demon again.
Unfortunately, it never appeared.
Today, there were no turbulent storms. When the sky started to darken, Xiao Yudie looked around, took out a map to carefully examine, seemingly to confirm their location.
