Sage of Humanity-Chapter 1841 - 1839: Arrangements
Lu Ye wasn't too concerned about such wealth; currently, in the Nine Provinces, with the Three Worlds Island, the speed of accumulating wealth was adequate to meet the cultivation needs of Nine Provinces cultivators. Even possessing more couldn't be quickly converted into strength; thus, it was meaningless.
What he valued was the inherent power of the Asura Field, which held endless secret realms where cultivators could enter to hone themselves.
Isn't this exactly what the Nine Provinces desperately need?
He asked again: "What level of cultivators is the Asura Field suitable for entering?"
Su Yuqing said: "As it's a stellar space supreme treasure, there's no restriction. Cultivators of any level can enter, and the Asura Field itself has a mystique, placing cultivators into secret realms suitable for their cultivation level to hone themselves and gain various benefits."
"Can Sun Blaze also enter?"
"Naturally."
"This is truly a good thing," Lu Ye listened with great desire. If the Nine Provinces had the Asura Field, the current problem simply wouldn't be a problem. It's even conceivable that Spirit Stream and Cloud River battlefields are unnecessary, as cultivators at these two levels could enter the Asura Field to train.
However, though the treasure is good, it's useless to the Nine Provinces, as Lu Ye couldn't possibly bring Nine Provinces cultivators over to the Asura Field.
As if sensing Lu Ye's thoughts, Su Yuqing continued to explain: "In the secret realms of the Asura Field, if a cultivator can overcome various challenges, they will receive a varying number of Asura Seals. These seals are unique to the Asura Field, cannot be carried out, and hold little inherent value. But cultivators can use these seals to connect with the Asura Treasure Vault and exchange them for any resources or treasures they desire."
"Hmm?" Lu Ye heard this and immediately felt this mode was somewhat similar to how Nine Provinces cultivators exchanged merit from Heaven's Augury's treasure vault for cultivation resources.
Not similar, but exactly the same, except there's no talk of merit in the Asura Field; instead, there's the Asura Seal, but the principle is the same.
The resources in the Asura Treasure Vault are extremely abundant; after all, the entire Sky Asura race enslaved hundreds of star systems, accumulating countless years of wealth, practically comprising treasures from all over the world.
"I don't know how many treasures are in the Asura Treasure Vault, as I've never entered the Asura Field, but to my knowledge, there is one treasure in the Asura Treasure Vault that should solve the Nine Provinces' issue."
"What treasure?"
"The affiliated treasure of the Asura Field, or one might say a Pseudo-Supreme Treasure, its power resembles that of the Asura Field. It can create various secret realms for cultivators to enter and train, but because it's merely an affiliated treasure, it lacks the inherent spirit of the Asura Field, requiring human control to exert its effects. Naturally, it doesn't have the Asura Seal nor the Asura Treasure Vault, yet purely for honing cultivators, it should pose no major issues."
Lu Ye finally understood why Su Yuqing suddenly mentioned the Asura Field to him.
Affiliated treasures of a supreme treasure… he wasn't unfamiliar with these.
The sword gourd, for instance, is an affiliated treasure of the Creation Vine, and besides the sword gourd, there's another wind gourd, also conceived by the Creation Vine, now controlled by a top-tier domain, serving as its world-stabilizing treasure.
Placed under Three Worlds Island, the Small Constellation Palace is similarly an affiliated treasure of a supreme treasure, continuously transforming the waters of All Phenomena Ocean, forming Three Worlds Island, this high-class Spirit Island.
The Asura Field also has affiliated treasures. Moreover, these affiliated treasures are similar to the Small Constellation Palace, inheriting part of the supreme treasure's power. As for human control being required for this thing… that was no problem at all. As long as he could bring back the affiliated treasure of the Asura Field, handing it over to Number Nine, Number Nine would naturally enable it to exert its greatest effect.
In fact, Number Nine could also introduce the merit system within, thereby connecting to Heaven's Augury's treasure vault.
From this perspective, having the affiliated treasure of the Asura Field could allow the Nine Provinces to maximize its effect, yielding benefits greater than any other domain.
"With such a treasure, has no one managed to successfully exchange it all these years?" Lu Ye asked.
Su Yuqing smiled slightly and replied: "Though this treasure is good, firstly, it is of no benefit to combat, mainly serving to foster a race's development, meant to hone its members. To cultivators with sufficient strength, its usefulness is limited. Take me; if I went to the Asura Field, I'd exchange any obtained Asura Seals for treasures useful to me rather than choose that affiliated treasure."
Lu Ye nodded, understanding the logic indeed stood.
Every domain has its development mode, so though he covets the affiliated treasure of the Asura Field, others may not see its value.
"Secondly, exchanging for this affiliated treasure likely requires a significant number of Asura Seals. I don't know the specific amount as I've never seen it, but being ultimately an affiliated treasure of a supreme treasure, it surely wouldn't come cheap – perhaps the very reason it's never been exchanged."
The Asura Treasure Vault contained countless treasures, and depending on their rarity, the number of Asura Seals required for exchange varies. Affiliated treasures of a supreme treasure necessitate a tremendously large number of Asura Seals.
"I mention this because I think you should take a look if you have the opportunity. With your foundation and strength, you're bound to reap some benefits from it; however, don't insist on acquiring that affiliated treasure," Su Yuqing advised.
Lu Ye nodded, "I understand."
The Asura Field was still very attractive to him. The starry sky was full of mysteries, and even though he had seen many written records in the Xiyuan Pavilion of the Dwarf Race, they were just records. Many things are difficult to truly understand without seeing them with one's own eyes.
He is still young now, so traveling around and seeing more certainly wouldn't hurt.
"When are you returning to the All Phenomena Ocean?" Su Yuqing suddenly asked. Since she learned that Lu Ye was a descendant of the Dao Tree lineage, she understood the secret behind Lu Ye's rapid cultivation progress. The All Phenomena Ocean was undoubtedly the most suitable place for Lu Ye's cultivation. Therefore, even though this place is Lu Ye's homeland, he couldn't stay long.
"I'll set out tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Su Yuqing took out a storage ring, "If you are going back, take this to Hai Tang. Inside are some materials for talisman-making."
Lu Ye accepted it.
"Also, there's no need to worry too much about the Southern Region. Even if there is a domain blocking the way south, by relying on the combined strength of the three Mount Fangcun sects and more than a dozen Sun Blaze cultivators, you can barely alter the Southern Region's trajectory, so it won't collide with any domains."
Lu Ye nodded, "Then I'll leave it to you. I'll come back to check once in a while." At this point, he suddenly remembered something, "Oh, Yuqing, there's a place I'd like you to help investigate."
"Go ahead."
Lu Ye took out a blank jade tablet and, while sketching on it, explained to Su Yuqing, "Here's the Nine Provinces, and heading in this direction will take you to the Qingli Dao Realm. Going further, you will enter a geomagnetic turbulence zone, beyond which lies a stellar marvel called the Thousand Mounds Cemetery. There are many peculiar nebula tomb mounds there, containing some things that harness extremely abundant energy, which can help strengthen domain growth. You are well-traveled, so help me see what those nebula tomb mounds actually are."
"Alright!" Su Yuqing readily agreed.
"But you must be careful not to rashly attack those nebula tomb mounds because they seem to have a counterattack force that is extremely powerful. Also, there is an ancient giant breed within the Thousand Mounds Cemetery, and possibly a Dancing Girl. You must avoid them."
Although Su Yuqing is not weak, Lu Ye estimated that neither the azure bird nor the Dancing Girl would be opponents for her. The strength of these two seemed to have surpassed the realm of Sun Blaze.
Just based on the time when the Dancing Girl passed by, causing the Sun Blaze cultivators of the Insect and Blood Races and the rest of the four galaxies to burst into song and dance, you could see the peculiar power of the Dancing Girl. Even Sun Blaze cultivators could not escape it, and the azure bird, who could drive away the Dancing Girl, must be even stronger.
After seriously advising Su Yuqing for a while, she finally left.
The development of the True Lake battlefield is not urgent for now, but if no other solutions are found in ten years, it must be developed. This would be a significant consumption of resources for the Nine Provinces. Lu Ye asked Su Yuqing to help investigate the situation at the Thousand Mounds Cemetery mainly as a precaution. It is not necessarily about obtaining something from there, but at least gaining more understanding.
Lu Ye then summoned his three Blood Servants and informed them that he was about to set out for the All Phenomena Ocean.
The three Blood Servants were all invigorated upon hearing this, highly anticipating the journey.
They had heard of the great reputation of the All Phenomena Ocean, and even Xiang Yin and her sister had visited the place, witnessing its prosperity.
However, when Lu Ye instructed them to stay and watch over the Nine Provinces, their anticipation immediately turned to disappointment, but they dared not oppose the order.
The reason for not taking them to the All Phenomena Ocean was mainly that there was no point. The rules over there state that each registered high-class Spirit Island cannot have more than five Moon Yao cultivators. Since there were already many Moon Yao cultivators on Three Worlds Island, even if they went, they wouldn't be able to register. They would have no identity and wouldn't be able to participate in any Spirit Island competitions.
So it was better to let them stay and watch over the Nine Provinces.
Even though there were many powerful cultivators in the Mount Fangcun in the east, the Dwarf Race rarely left Mount Fangcun, and not everything could be expected from them.
So, after much thinking, leaving them to watch over the Nine Provinces was the best choice.
Whether it was Xiang Yin and her sister or Dhing Beifeng, they all had late-stage Moon Yao cultivation, enough to ensure the safety of the Nine Provinces.
Feeling disappointed, Xiang Yin looked pitiably at Lu Ye, "Venerable Lord, are you sure you don't need us sisters to serve you by your side?"
"No need." Lu Ye decisively refused. He was planning to go to the All Phenomena Ocean to advance to the late-stage Moon Yao, so he didn't need anyone to serve him. Besides, he wasn't sure about the condition on Hua Ci's side. If the venomous woman woke up and saw two beautiful Snow Race women following him, who knows how she might torment him?
The thought made Lu Ye shiver.
"This servant dares to ask, would the Venerable Lord grant a drop of Sacred Blood?" Xiang Yin pursed her red lips, looking even more pitiable, like a little puppy begging for food.
