Sage of Humanity-Chapter 1774 - 1772: Whatever You Say Goes

In the Immortal Shadow Hall, Su Yuqing's voice rang out once more: "Starting many years ago, the three departments of Mount Fangcun began plotting this matter. The Moon Jade cultivators of our race cannot access the core, so we could only seek help from a Foreign Clan. However, these Foreign Clan members usually cannot be trusted. After all, finding that core is almost equivalent to grasping the lifeblood of our race. Thus, the candidates we choose are typically those who have been absorbed into our race, having undergone a lengthy assessment and proven to be trustworthy."

Lu Ye nodded, indicating his understanding.

The core of Mount Fangcun is of great importance. The Dwarf Race itself is unable to exert power and can only rely on outsiders, but outsiders cannot be completely trusted, so they use marriage alliances to bind them. However, this method is not entirely reliable, since the human heart is a mystery, and no one knows what others are thinking or planning.

Over countless years, the Dwarf Race has sent numerous Foreign Clan Moon Jade cultivators to search for Mount Fangcun's core, all ending up fruitless—with the core undiscovered and those sent disappearing without a trace, their fate unknown.

"Passing by All Phenomena Ocean this time, the main purpose of holding the Spirit Talisman Convention is actually to select suitable candidates here."

Mount Fangcun is not looking for Moon Jade cultivators from All Phenomena Ocean, as they mostly belong to various major powers and are fiercely loyal to their own factions, making them too unpredictable to assist the Dwarf Race.

The Dwarf Race aims to select suitable Constellation cultivators, especially those at the bottom with decent aptitude. Such individuals, if brought back to Mount Fangcun for training, can easily develop a sense of belonging to Mount Fangcun. If they then marry into the Dwarf Race, the relationships will be more secure.

Once they have achieved power, they can be tasked with executing the plan.

Of course, this matter requires years of preparation and cannot be accomplished in a short time. But having waited for so many years, the Dwarf Race is not in haste.

"Having stayed at All Phenomena Ocean for so many years, you should have some insights into the cultivators here. Do you have any suitable recommendations?" Su Yuqing asked.

Lu Ye pondered. He certainly didn't have any recommendations, but if Mount Fangcun indeed has such intentions, there is an appropriate reference.

The ranking of the Constellation Palace's contention!

Though over the years, most cultivators at the top of the Constellation Palace's contention rankings have already advanced to Moon Jade, some remain in the Constellation Realm. If they seek candidates based on this ranking, Mount Fangcun should be able to recruit some suitable talent, train them further, and surely they will achieve greatness.

However, Lu Ye did not mention this but instead asked: "Yuqing, why do you say that anyone who gets the core can grasp the lifeblood of the Dwarf Race?"

Su Yuqing blinked, a bit of shyness flashed across her bright cheeks—never before had anyone addressed her so affectionately.

She gathered herself and explained: "The reason the three departments of Mount Fangcun cannot unify is because the core is within that stellar marvel, which radiates a peculiar power obstructing the fusion of the departments and the core. However, if someone extracts the core, the three departments will immediately be drawn by the core's pull, converge, and unify. If that person has ulterior motives and places the core in a dangerous location, Mount Fangcun would fall into a calamity beyond redemption."

Lu Ye's eyes lit up: "In other words, if I obtain the core, I can choose where Mount Fangcun will unify?"

Su Yuqing looked at him leisurely: "Where do you want us to unify?"

"How about the star system where my homeland is located?" Lu Ye asked. The biggest issue facing Jade Conch is the lack of Sun Blaze to oversee it and its remote location. If Mount Fangcun unifies there, the entire Jade Conch Galaxy will experience explosive growth in power.

If there is another situation like a Filth Race invasion, it would be effortless for the Dwarf Race's Sun Blaze to intervene.

Moreover, he need not worry about the Dwarf Race harboring ambitions detrimental to Jade Conch, as the Dwarf Race is never one to seek contention, and their reputation among the stars is quite good.

What's more, he has the personal connection with Su Yuqing.

The more Lu Ye thought about it, the more he felt this could be worth anticipating.

Su Yuqing said: "As long as the three departments of Mount Fangcun can successfully unify, it doesn't matter where they do so because Mount Fangcun is a stellar space supreme treasure, and our race can control its movement."

That's not a big problem, as long as the Dwarf Race is willing to stay in Jade Conch for several years until the birth of a native Sun Blaze in the Jade Conch Galaxy. Then whether to stay or leave would be up to their own feelings.

"Are you really considering going?" Su Yuqing frowned.

If it's not certain that Mount Fangcun can unify in Jade Conch, Lu Ye indeed had no such desire. However, achieving the rapid acquisition of powerful backing for Jade Conch is exactly what Lu Ye desires.

He has spent many years in All Phenomena Ocean here. Although he can swiftly travel to and from Jade Conch Galaxy, any incidents occurring there mean Jade Conch residents would struggle to reach him here in time. He cannot keep going back to check periodically, as that would waste too much time.

During the last Filth Race invasion, fortunately, he was in Jade Conch World. If he weren't present then, Jade Conch might have already become the Filth Race's backyard. Thinking about it makes him anxious.

"It's really dangerous," Su Yuqing regretted bringing up this subject with Lu Ye, as she hadn't expected Lu Ye's strength to be so formidable. She originally thought that even if he could assist by acting, it should wait until he reached Moon Jade Late Stage. Perhaps by then, things would have a turn for the better; nothing was certain.

"Everything carries some risk; I'll go assess the situation first."

Su Yuqing's face was conflicted; torn between the future of her race and Lu Ye's safety, she hesitated.

But honestly speaking, Lu Ye is indeed suitable for this task.

Firstly, his strength is undeniable, a fact Su Yuqing personally confirmed. Secondly, he is trustworthy, and among the Moon Jade entrusted by Mount Fangcun, none are more suitable than Lu Ye.

After a moment's hesitation, Su Yuqing spoke: "If you truly decide to try, then wait until you're at Peak Moon Jade; then your ability to protect yourself will be stronger."

That requires some time, as he has just advanced to Moon Jade Mid-Stage. Even if he concentrates fully and without delay on cultivation, Lu Ye estimates it would take about a year to reach Peak Moon Jade. If any matters delay him in between, it certainly would take longer.

This point in time can be waited for, but there's another issue.

"Once I reach Peak Moon Jade, how do I get to that starry spectacle?"

Su Yuqing said, "I will leave you with the operational routes of three paths on Mount Fangcun. When the time comes, look at which one is closest to you, go directly there, and there will be Sun Blaze from our clan to escort you."

Lu Ye thought about it, and a year later, the Western Mount Fangcun will definitely be closest. Once his cultivation reaches Peak Moon Jade, he will need to catch up to the Western Mount Fangcun, then find the Sun Blaze among them to escort him to the location where the starry spectacle is.

I don't know how much time will be wasted during this period.

He couldn't help but shake his head and say, "It's too troublesome, let's just decide this, there's no better day than today; the West is right in the All Phenomena Ocean, give me a token, I'll go meet the Sun Blaze in the West, and have them arrange someone to take me there."

Su Yuqing felt a bit headache, looking at him with mild anger, "Why don't you listen?"

This mother's tone of disciplining her child made Lu Ye pause, staring at Su Yuqing for a moment. He raised his hand, and with a ripple of mana, the doors of the Immortal Shadow Hall closed.

"Come, let's discuss this matter carefully."

Su Yuqing's expression immediately turned panicked, quickly changing her tone, "Whatever you say!"

The Immortal Shadow Hall inexplicably closed for three days previously, and now again suddenly closed; if the disciples below knew, what would they think?

Seeing Lu Ye sit back down again, Su Yuqing finally sighed in relief.

Having cultivated to Sun Blaze, she truly wasn't afraid of anyone, but Lu Ye's posture indeed made her panic.

"Another problem." Lu Ye spoke.

"What?" Su Yuqing was a bit wary.

"I've occupied a Spirit Island in the All Phenomena Ocean and previously offended a Sun Blaze there. If I leave, I'm afraid he might secretly do something to my Spirit Island."

Su Yuqing looked incredulous, really unable to understand what Lu Ye did in the All Phenomena Ocean to actually dare offend a local Sun Blaze.

"You're hoping for some protection from our clan for your Spirit Island?" Su Yuqing understood his intention.

"That's what I'm thinking," Lu Ye nodded, "I just don't know if Mount Fangcun has this capability."

"How did you offend them?"

Lu Ye simply explained the conflict with Yuan Du, and Su Yuqing understood, "If it's just this level of offense, there's no problem." She had mistaken earlier that Lu Ye had fought with them, but now knew it wasn't that serious.

After a short pondering, Su Yuqing said, "I'll arrange this matter, you don't need to worry."

Lu Ye felt completely relieved; having backing makes a difference, although he didn't know how Su Yuqing would accomplish it, her words brought him peace of mind.

"Then it's decided!"

Su Yuqing sighed, still couldn't help giving a warning: "If things don't look right, don't force it, and definitely don't easily put yourself in danger!"

Feeling her concern, Lu Ye earnestly said, "Don't worry, whether things succeed or not, I'll surely come back alive!"

He secretly resolved that if it's too dangerous, he would quickly retreat, although he wanted Mount Fangcun to integrate into Jade Conch and become Jade Conch's support, naturally, his own safety is more important.

After a while, Hai Tang returned with Yaya.

Yaya fell asleep at some point and was held in Hai Tang's arms.

In the Immortal Shadow Hall, Hai Tang bowed respectfully, eyes straight ahead, "Master!"

Su Yuqing said, "Escort Lu Ye, then come back; I have something to say to you."

Hai Tang's eyes flickered, vaguely aware, responded respectfully, "Yes!"

Outside the hall, they set up the starboat, carrying Lu Ye and Yaya away, silent throughout the journey.

Mainly because Hai Tang didn't know what to say, she had many guesses, just lacked clear evidence.

Moreover, she knew that the master would explain things to her later.
