Sage of Humanity-Chapter 1494 - 1492: Speculation

Tang Jun himself is a magic cultivator, and the role of a magic treasure is very important to him. Just like the woman who attacked today, if Tang Jun had a magic treasure like that stamp, dealing with Nan Xingzhen would have been much easier.

Tang Jun does have magic treasures, but coming from a place like the Qingli Dao World, what good stuff could he have? According to the grading system of magic treasures in the stellar space, the two magic treasures he holds are all below 3-star, which can be said to be quite poor.

Lu Ye couldn't see the grade of that woman from Moon Jade's stamp, after all, he is just a Constellation for now. But it must be above 3-star, otherwise, it couldn't possibly possess such an oddly powerful might.

Currently on Unparalleled Island, Tang Jun is the only Moon Jade, which can be said to be the representative of Unparalleled Island's battle strength. If he could be stronger, he could deal with more complex and dangerous situations in the future.

If not for such considerations, how could Lu Ye possibly give him a million spirit jades?

"Kid, where did you make a fortune?" Tang Jun looked excited. A million spirit jades aren't something an average person could produce. Even a small force might not have so many spirit jades available for use.

"Consider it a loan, remember to pay me back when you can," Lu Ye looked at him.

Tang Jun chuckled lightly, pretending not to hear. Previously, when Lu Ye asked him for travel expenses, he didn't mention anything about borrowing. Now that the spirit jades are in his hands, asking him to return them is out of the question!

But to be honest, if these spirit jades were used to buy two decent magic treasures, his personal strength would definitely improve significantly, and when he encounters Nan Xingzhen again in the future, who is stronger and who is weaker will be more obvious.

"Kid, that's very kind of you, this old man accepts it gratefully. In this All Phenomena Ocean, as long as this old man is alive, I'll ensure your safety!"

Tang Jun happily set off without delay, preparing to head to All Phenomena Island, ready to follow Lu Ye's suggestion to buy two decent magic treasures. With a million spirit jades, adding a bit more himself, he might barely be able to buy two 5-star magic treasures if the requirements aren't high.

A great battle had just ended, and Koi Island's fate was a lesson learned. So, it should be safe for Tang Jun to leave quietly and return soon.

Not long after Tang Jun left, Chu Shen approached and sat in front of Lu Ye, saying, "Senior Brother, I want to go to Zhaolai Island to recruit some people."

Previously, Lu Ye advised him not to recruit low-powered Constellation, which he heeded. But today is different from the past. Unparalleled Island needs more manpower to grow.

At the very least, there needs to be enough manpower to maintain the big array's operation. In today's battle, less than 30% of the protective array's power was utilized due to the lack of manpower.

Lu Ye asked, "You come from Cheling World; do you have trustworthy people from Cheling World or the local All Phenomena Star System?"

Chu Shen shook his head, smiling bitterly, "To be honest, I was always cultivating arduously in Wanxia Sect before I advanced to Constellation, hardly leaving, so I don't know many people. Although Wanxia Sect has some trustworthy senior brothers and sisters, most are cultivating on other Spirit Islands, and even if I invite them, they might not want to come."

Lu Ye nodded, knowing this was true.

Like those cultivators on Koi Island, they might come from some domain in some star system and have no suitable foothold in the All Phenomena Ocean, so upon seeing Unparalleled Island as appealing, they wanted to seize it. But Wanxia Sect, being a local domain sect with Jiu Yan backing it, could easily occupy a Spirit Island.

The Spirit Island they occupy must be better than the current Unparalleled Island. Inviting them would be equivalent to asking them to help. With the prior agreement with Jiu Yan, not to mention those people might not want to come, even Chu Shen himself was reluctant to do so.

"Then we can only release the news," Lu Ye suggested.

Chu Shen said, "That's what I'm thinking as well. In this vast All Phenomena Ocean, there are countless Constellations without a place to settle. Even Constellation Late Stage cultivators are numerous. Today's battle has made Unparalleled Island renowned. If news spreads, many will surely come. But don't worry, Senior Brother, I will strictly screen them to ensure no ill-intentioned people enter Unparalleled Island."

With a place like Zhongzheng Island, Chu Shen can investigate the past of these cultivators through the Zhongzheng Register, understanding their character and conduct through their records. As long as he maintains strict control, recruiting outsiders shouldn't be a big problem.

"Since you have a plan, go ahead," Lu Ye nodded and suddenly remembered something, "What's the situation with that Ban Ci?"

To speak of it, before today, he had only met Ban Ci once, when she first came to Unparalleled Island and visited him. After that, there was no interaction, but in today's battle, Ban Ci's performance was not like an ordinary Constellation.

Chu Shen scratched his head, "I don't know much about this Senior Sister's origins; she was recruited from Zhaolai Island by Lucky Star, and she came with Elder Tang."

"Together?" Lu Ye frowned.

"They just happened to meet. When Elder Tang went to Zhaolai Island, Lucky Star had just finalized the discussion with Ban Ci. Senior Brother, do you think there's a problem with her?"

Lu Ye shook his head, "I'm just curious. With such strength and foundation, she should have a name on the Cumulated Points Ranking, but there's no record of her on it."

"It is indeed strange!" Chu Shen agreed, "However, Senior Brother, she should mean no harm. You saw today's battle. Had you not intervened in time, her life might have been in jeopardy."

"That is precisely what piqued my curiosity."

Being merely recruited, with not-so-generous monthly salaries, Unparalleled Island is just a foothold for Ban Ci. Was it necessary to fight so desperately?

After pondering, Lu Ye said, "Does Cheling World have this person?"

Chu Shen was not slow to catch on, "Are you implying... Senior Sister Ban Ci was sent by my mother?"

If not, there's no way to explain Ban Ci's actions.

"But I've never seen this person from childhood to adulthood."

"Not necessarily from Cheling World..." Lu Ye mused.

Perhaps it's a cultivator from another domain in the All Phenomena Galaxy, taking on Jiu Yan's identity. It wouldn't be too difficult to find a celestial being that Chu Shen hasn't met to protect him.

However, Ban Ci's performance today was astonishing. As a celestial being, she forcibly restrained a cultivator like Moon Jade. Even Lu Ye admitted he couldn't do it, though Ban Ci paid a significant price for it in the end.

This shows that Ban Ci is definitely not an ordinary person. Her name isn't on the Cumulated Points Ranking; it's highly possible she's using an alias, or Ban Ci itself is the alias.

While Lu Ye and Chu Shen were discussing this, Piao Ke and the specter also gathered together.

The specter spoke with a serious expression: "Old Piao, did you feel it?"

Piao Ke was leisurely drinking, his mischievous eyes darting at Cai Yue and Cai Xing, the sisters nearby...

Hearing the specter's words, Piao Ke didn't turn his head and casually said, "What?"

"Do you think Li Taibai resembles someone?"

"Who?" Piao Ke appeared lost in thought.

"Think carefully, who does he resemble? Don't you feel it at all?"

"I do!" Piao Ke smiled: "Straight, slender, it's rare to see twins, they're almost identical, I can hardly tell them apart!"

The specter grabbed Piao Ke's head, forcibly turning it around, saying exasperatedly: "What are you looking at, what's there to see, look at me, I'm talking to you!"

Piao Ke said: "I can't move my eyes away, just speak, I'm listening."

The specter fumed: "Why can't you move your eyes away, are they forcing you to look?"

Piao Ke's gaze slowly turned back, looking dreamy: "No, just want to look!"

The specter was confused, not knowing what he was talking about, and sighed: "Did you hear what I'm saying?"

Piao Ke took another sip of the drink: "You want to say Brother Taibai resembles Fa Wuzun, right?"

"Don't you think so?" The specter was stern.

"It's not that he resembles him; they're practically the same person!"

If it were others, they might not notice as clearly, but they had fought alongside Fa Wuzun against the Skeletal General. That battle was extremely tough, and the experience was unforgettable. Today, under the same formation, the feeling was especially clear.

"But they are definitely not the same person!"

Piao Ke frowned: "How can you be so sure?"

The specter sighed and said: "Previously, in front of Li Taibai, I used an audio talisman to contact Fa Wuzun and received a response."

Piao Ke was astonished: "They're really not the same person? I thought Brother Taibai was Fa Wuzun!" After thinking for a bit, he said: "Well, if they're not, they're not, what's the difference."

With so many celestial beings in the All Phenomena Ocean, it's not strange to have two people who resemble each other.

"You just don't get it!" The specter left in a huff. She couldn't disclose anything about Fa Wuzun or the Merfolk Territory, so she could only keep her frustration to herself.

Recently, Unparalleled Island has had many celestial beings wanting to pledge allegiance, because the Island Master Chu Shen has spread the word that the newly established Unparalleled Island is recruiting talents.

For cultivators from various star systems who have nowhere to settle, this is undoubtedly very appealing.

Especially since Unparalleled Island is a Spirit Island! Such a place, even without a monthly stipend, cultivators are willing to join.

Chu Shen personally receives celestial beings coming to pledge, asks about their origins, and then has Lucky Star on Zhongzheng Island check the Zhongzheng Register records.

If they are suitable, they stay; any with a flawed record are all rejected.

Not only are celestial beings coming to pledge, but several Moon Jade cultivators have been attracted as well.

For the arrival of Moon Jade cultivators, Chu Shen politely refused.

Firstly, if a Moon Jade has ill intentions, it's hard to guard against, so the best way is not to accept any.

Secondly, every power is limited in the number of Moon Jades they can have in the All Phenomena Ocean. If Unparalleled Island accepts an external Moon Jade, it occupies a spot, and if one of their own later promotes to Moon Jade, they might have to find another place.

Chu Shen knows that both Piao Ke and the specter are close to reaching Moon Jade. The Moon Jade spots at Unparalleled Island should naturally be reserved for their own people.
