Sage of Humanity-Chapter 1511 - 1509: Blue Jade World

Moreover, Lu Ye strongly suspected that the Reincarnation Tree knew he had practiced a secret technique of a certain race, because back then, during the Divine Sea conflict in the Taichu Realm, he had used that technique to annihilate an entire race.

Otherwise, Lu Ye, now merely a Constellation, would not have the Reincarnation Tree placing its hopes on him.

The Taichu Realm is an inner secret realm of the Reincarnation Tree, rumored to be its birthplace. Given the Reincarnation Tree's immense power, naturally, nothing happening within can escape its awareness.

"Time waits for no one, young friend. If you have no preparations to make, let's set off now. I await your triumphant return!" As these words were spoken, two green leaves suddenly drifted down from the Reincarnation Tree. One floated towards the back of Lu Ye's hand, gently branding itself there and quickly merging, making Lu Ye immediately feel the previously consumed Reincarnation Tree mark return.

The other green leaf, as he had seen before, burst with an intense green light while flying, then transformed into the silhouette of the Reincarnation Tree, its branches drooping and intertwining to form a portal.

Lu Ye stepped silently into the portal, with Lih Shang following closely without needing an invitation.

With a single step forward, the world changed.

In the slightly dim domain, as Lu Ye appeared, he immediately saw two towering figures standing before him.

He looked up, curiously examining these two figures.

Though he already had a rough idea of the domain's conditions from the Reincarnation Tree and knew what races lived here, Lu Ye had never seen them before.

The figure on the left seemed somewhat familiar, resembling an old tree that had become a spirit, bearing traces of the Reincarnation Tree, with limbs and facial features on its trunk, but still different from the Reincarnation Tree.

This should be the Wood Spirit Race!

In stellar space, there's the Five Elements Spirit Race, corresponding to metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, collectively called the Spirit Race. However, due to differences in their element signs, each Spirit Race is distinctly different.

The Spirit Race is also an extremely rare race. Although not as rare as the merfolk, fairies, or Soul Race Lu Ye had encountered, their numbers are relatively few compared to other races.

Regardless of which Spirit Race, they all possess Spirit Cores within, akin to a star beast's Crystal Core but far more useful. Spirit Cores significantly benefit a cultivator's cultivation and comprehension of certain secret techniques, attracting many with ulterior motives.

The figure standing beside the wood spirit was equally tall. However, unlike the wood spirit which appeared like an old tree spirit, this one resembled a giant mushroom.

With a semi-circular black cap atop its head, the dark hue appeared incredibly sturdy, definitely not inferior to any protective spirit treasure.

Its body was straight and round, with two small, bean-sized eyes on its facial features, looking quite comical.

Spore Tribe!

This was a race Lu Ye had never seen nor even heard of before; witnessing it now made him marvel at the vastness of stellar space, where nothing is too strange. Although he had seen a lot in the All Phenomena Ocean, it was merely the tip of the iceberg in this vast stellar space.

Whether it was the wood spirit or the Spore Tribe, they both emanated an aura comparable to the Constellation Late Stage, indicating this domain was undoubtedly a large one. The nature's spiritual energy here was quite abundant; otherwise, it wouldn't have nurtured the Constellation Realm.

According to information from the Reincarnation Tree, this domain is a shared habitat of the Wood Spirit Race and the Spore Tribe, peacefully coexisting here for many millennia. However, with the recent invasion by an enemy, they were unable to sustain themselves and had no choice but to send for help from the Reincarnation Tree.

Looking back, Lu Ye saw a doppelganger of the Reincarnation Tree behind him, indicating his arrival here was due to the doppelganger's function.

At this moment, however, the Reincarnation Tree's doppelganger had all its leaves turning yellow and shedding, uncertain when it would recover its vital energy again, if at all.

As Lu Ye materialized, the wood spirit and Spore Tribe both respectfully saluted him.

The wood spirit buzzed as it spoke: "Mu He, Clan Leader of the Blue Jade World's Wood Spirit Race, greets the two Fellow Daoists!" Then gestured towards the Spore Tribe beside him: "This is Black Umbrella, Clan Leader of the Spore Tribe."

Black Umbrella also spoke: "Greetings to the two Fellow Daoists!"

Lu Ye pondered slightly: "Unparalleled, Li Taibai!"

Lih Shang, standing behind him, remained silent, resembling a loyal maid.

Mu He's gaze passed over Lu Ye, looking towards the Reincarnation Tree's doppelganger behind him. Observing that it had withered, he remarked in surprise, "Only the two of you on this trip?"

Lu Ye nodded: "Yes, just the two of us."

Mu He seemed slightly disappointed. He and Black Umbrella had requested help through the Reincarnation Tree's doppelganger, expecting powerful reinforcements, yet only two Constellations were sent. Even if they were both at the Constellation Late Stage, their impact on such a war would be extremely limited.

However, these were sent by the Reincarnation Tree, and having two more allies was still better than none. Mu He dared not underestimate them and buzzed again: "Since the two of you have just arrived, please settle down first before we make further plans."

Lu Ye raised his hand and said, "No need, Clan Leader, please describe the current situation to me in detail."

He could naturally sense the feelings of the Wood Spirit, but some things don't need to be explained; actions always speak louder than words. Moreover, the Reincarnation Tree specifically summoned him to help, recognizing his ability to restrain the invading race's methods.

Had it been another race invading the Blue Jade World, Lu Ye might struggle to handle it alone, but if it were that race... that would be different.

He planned for a quick resolution, as he did not have much time to waste here.

The trunk of the Wood Spirit slightly furrowed its brow but still cooperatively began to explain the current situation.

Although the Reincarnation Tree could understand the requests of the Wood Spirit Race and the Spore Race left in this realm through its doppelganger, it wasn't very clear about the specific situation.

With Mu He's explanation, Lu Ye found that the situation in the Blue Jade World was much better than he had imagined.

He initially thought that the invasion would have left this world in ruins and desolation, but in reality, the Wood Spirit Race and the Spore Race had constructed a solid defense line, resisting the final onslaught of the invaders.

This gathering place was also the last Pure Land of the two major races in the Blue Jade World. If this Pure Land were breached, their fate would inevitably be enslavement and annihilation.

As Mu He explained, Lu Ye looked up, seeing white clouds pressing down from the sky, like thick cotton wads.

When he first arrived here, he thought those were just ordinary clouds, but with Mu He's explanation, he realized that they weren't clouds at all. That was a technique deployed by the Spore Race.

What looked like white clouds was actually a collection of countless tiny spores.

It was precisely this peculiar spore cloud defense that repelled the advancing invaders.

Now, this gathering place was thoroughly surrounded by the spore cloud. Without breaching the spore cloud's protection, the enemy could only stare helplessly from the outside.

However, being trapped for so long would inevitably result in loss, so realizing the bleak future, Mu He, along with Black Umbrella, requested help from the Reincarnation Tree.

Lu Ye observed and saw occasional flashes of blood-red glow within the dense spore cloud, but they quickly faded.

After Mu He finished speaking, he said no more. Lu Ye pondered for a moment and said, "I'll go take a look. I'll trouble the two Clan Leaders to notify all departments."

Mu He said, "Fellow Daoist, please be careful and do not leave the protection range of the spore cloud."

Lu Ye nodded and soared into the sky. Lih Shang's figure flickered and followed, but soon, her figure vanished without a trace.

Under normal circumstances, when she disappeared like this, Lu Ye would have to activate Insight Spirit Runes to see some traces, but this time, even though she disappeared, she still actively allowed Lu Ye to sense a bit of her presence, letting him clearly perceive her location.

This was undoubtedly Lih Shang's way of avoiding any misunderstanding on his part.

Rushing into the spore cloud, Lu Ye immediately sensed the peculiarities of the spores. They were so tiny that they were almost invisible to the naked eye, but despite their size, they gave off a sense of danger. Lu Ye understood at once that the spore cloud, formed by these tiny spores, wasn't just a mere defense. If an enemy dared to venture inside, they would surely be covered by the spores, though Lu Ye didn't know what the consequences would be.

This reminded him of Hua Ci, who also grew mushrooms. These unique mushrooms, when shattered, released innumerable mysterious and unpredictable spores.

Shortly after entering the spore cloud, Lu Ye saw two towering figures standing side by side. Getting closer, he found that it was a Wood Spirit and a member of the Spore Race.

At that moment, the Spore Race member placed a hand on the Wood Spirit, and energy surged around them. Lu Ye couldn't tell what mysterious technique was being employed, but amazingly, as the Spore Race member exerted their power, mushrooms of various sizes continuously grew from the Wood Spirit, then burst open, transforming into many spores, merging into and enlarging the spore cloud.

Lu Ye stopped to observe them for a while, finding it quite magical.

The Wood Spirit and Spore Race member curiously studied Lu Ye as well, but it was clear they had already received some intelligence from their respective Clan Leaders. They nodded kindly at Lu Ye, showing expressions of gratitude.

In situations like this, anyone who dared to come to their aid, human or otherwise, was met with the Wood Spirit and Spore Race's respect and thanks.

Lu Ye also nodded in acknowledgment, encouraging them, "Hold on a little longer!" 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

He could see that these two, a Wood Spirit and a member of the Spore Race, were both heavily exhausted. They had clearly been holding out for some time, and their cultivation levels were not high, only at the True Lake level.

As he proceeded forward, he continually encountered more combinations of the Spore Race and Wood Spirit.

This spore cloud, covering the entire gathering place, was undoubtedly the result of such cooperation. Countless years of coexistence had blurred the lines between the two races, and their coordinated defensive tactics had become second nature.
