During the ti Lu Ye was away, it was Hua Ci managing the Three Worlds Island. However, she eventually found herself overwheld and exhausted due to her lack of experience and limited energy.
Now that Old Tang had returned, the affairs of the Three Worlds Island naturally fell into his hands. Hua Ci imdiately felt relieved, chatting and laughing with Yiyi. As they laughed and talked, her expression beca woeful, almost tearful...
In the Spirit Jade Vein, Lu Ye visited Ma Bin. His injuries had not yet fully healed, so he was still in recovery, and they only exchanged a few words.
Leaving the Spirit Jade Vein, Lu Ye headed straight towards All Phenona Island.
Half a day later, he arrived at All Phenona Island. As he released his ntal Consciousness and sensed his surroundings, Lu Ye silently marveled that despite the great upheaval that had occurred here, All Phenona Island remained bustling without losing its vitality. He saw countless cultivators coming and going, especially around the All Phenona rchants Guild, which was the busiest and most prosperous part.
However, rembering that he owned half of All Phenona Island’s future profits, his mood soared. The more prosperous All Phenona Island beca, the greater the benefits for Three Worlds Island.
Jiu Yan had done an excellent job! In such a short period, she had restored All Phenona Island as if nothing had happened. Lu Ye felt increasingly certain that his decision back then was the right one. If All Phenona Island hadn’t been entrusted to a native cultivator like Jiu Yan, it couldn’t have recovered so swiftly if anyone else had taken over.
A ntal Consciousness extended from a direction on All Phenona Island, and Lu Ye imdiately understood that it was Jiu Yan who had noticed his arrival and was guiding him.
With a flicker, he flew towards that direction.
Soon, within the Spirit Jade Vein of All Phenona Island, Lu Ye once again saw Jiu Yan’s familiar figure.
"Senior Sister!" Lu Ye greeted.
"No need for formalities." Jiu Yan’s obscured face gazed directly at Lu Ye, slightly surprised upon a brief glance, as she noticed that Lu Ye’s aura seed to have changed.
It wasn’t that his strength had grown substantially, but rather there was an added confidence—a confidence in his own abilities. She couldn’t help but wonder what had happened to Lu Ye recently.
"Sit down," Jiu Yan said.
Not far in front of her was a futon, and Lu Ye sat cross-legged without hesitation. After glancing around, he sighed, "As expected from All Phenona Island, this Spirit Jade Vein’s scale is far greater than that of Three Worlds Island."
With a larger Spirit Jade Vein, more spirit jade can be yielded. Cultivators like Jiu Yan, a Sun Blaze cultivator, would benefit greatly from cultivating within it.
Previously, only the five Sun Blaze governors were qualified to enter here, but now there was only Jiu Yan.
"It’s said that All Phenona Island was the first Spirit Island in the All Phenona Ocean, so it naturally has so extraordinary characteristics. If you regret it, Junior Brother, I can return All Phenona Island to you," Jiu Yan slowly said.
Lu Ye chuckled, "Why would you say that, Senior Sister? Since we had an agreent back then, naturally, we’ll abide by it. Moreover, now that Three Worlds Island has more than one top-class Spirit Island, why would I need so many?"
Jiu Yan was left speechless. To any domain, a top-class Spirit Island is an extrely valuable resource; who would ever have too many? Yet, Three Worlds Island seed unconcerned.
Not wanting to continue this topic, Jiu Yan shifted the subject, "I heard that you all marched to attack a certain star system this ti?"
There were indeed such rumors on All Phenona Ocean, but it wasn’t baseless. After all, many had witnessed the deploynt of soldiers and the setting off of battleships from Three Worlds Island at the ti.
"Pure fabrication!" Lu Ye imdiately denied it, "We just returned to defend our holand; we weren’t attacking anyone. The cultivators of Three Worlds Island are peaceful people, always gentle, modest, and never provoked trouble!"
Jiu Yan’s eyelids twitched, ignoring his self-praise, and asked puzzledly, "Defending your holand? Are you saying that the Insect Path you used led to your holand and there was trouble there?"
"Yes," Lu Ye didn’t hide it, "Our originating star system is called the Jade Conch Galaxy. Previously, Zixuan’s ten Great Demon Venerables, leading an army of over ten thousand, invaded our ho galaxy, so we went back to fight them."
Jiu Yan was stunned, "How did this involve Zixuan again?"
"It’s all due to Black Cloud and Yuan Du!" Lu Ye said angrily, "Back then, Yuan Du captured a few Constellations from our Three Worlds Island and used the Soul Seeking Secret Technique to discover the location of our ho galaxy, leading Black Cloud to take revenge. However, Black Cloud suffered a great loss there, so, out of resentnt, they invited the Zixuan battalion to invade. When I got wind of this, I quickly led our forces in support."
Jiu Yan was dazed for a mont before returning to her senses, "And what happened?"
Even with her Sun Blaze temperant, her curiosity was piqued, and she was eager to know the result of the battle. However, since Lu Ye had returned safely, it presumably ant Zixuan had been repelled.
"Zixuan’s forces, from Sun Blaze to Constellations, were all wiped out!" Lu Ye stated nonchalantly.
But Jiu Yan’s heart trembled upon hearing this. She stared at Lu Ye, unsure whether to believe him or not!
Given the forces that Three Worlds Island deployed for support, they seemingly had no chance against such a Zixuan battalion. Jiu Yan had thought that rely repelling Zixuan would have been fortunate, yet Lu Ye said they eliminated the entire Zixuan battalion? Thousands of demon cultivators could be understandable, but those were the ten Great Demon Venerables!
"As far as I know... your Three Worlds Island’s stellar space supre treasure has always remained on All Phenona Ocean," Jiu Yan slowly remarked, implying that without the help of a stellar space supre treasure, how could Jade Conch defeat such a battalion as Zixuan?
"Little Fella indeed remains in the All Phenona Ocean, but our Jade Conch Galaxy is not an easy target to be manipulated." Lu Ye smiled slightly, appearing deep and mysterious.
Jiu Yan looked at him, unable to discern whether he was telling the truth or not. If it were true, it would be too exaggerated and not in line with reality, but if it were false... Lu Ye would have no reason to deceive her over such a matter, it would be aningless, and besides, the loss of Zixuan was so significant that a little investigation would reveal the truth.
"It seems that your Jade Conch runs deep." Jiu Yan hinted.
Lu Ye smiled without speaking, and changed the subject: "By the way, Senior Sister summoned , is there any important matter?"
"Winged Heaven Island!" Jiu Yan spoke, "Soone from Winged Heaven Planet contacted , wanting to pay a price to redeem Winged Heaven Island."
Any top-class Spirit Island is a strategic resource for the top-class domain that occupies it and cannot be easily lost. Previously during the All Phenona Ocean battle, it originally had nothing to do with Winged Heaven Island, but Shern Yun, relying on his Heavenly Net Umbrella as protection, disregarded Three Worlds Island and attempted to fish in troubled waters, only to be killed on the spot by Little Fella’s golden light that broke the Heavenly Net Umbrella.
This directly led to the loss of Winged Heaven Island.
Winged Heaven Planet naturally wants to redeem it from Three Worlds Island’s grasp, and there’s precedent for this — Three Worlds Island once attacked Zixuan, and later Zixuan paid a price to redeem it.
Approaching Jiu Yan was clearly because they noticed Jiu Yan’s exceptional relationship with Three Worlds Island, otherwise, All Phenona Island wouldn’t be handed over to Jiu Yan to manage.
"Oh?" Lu Ye raised an eyebrow, "What price are they willing to offer?"
Jiu Yan said, "Whatever price Zixuan paid back then, they’re willing to pay the sa!"
"They’re dreaming!" Lu Ye snorted.
Back then, allowing Zixuan to redeem itself was partly because Lu Ye wanted to kill Lion Heart, a condition of the transaction, and also because Three Worlds Island didn’t yet have the confidence to completely offend a top-class domain, plus the hundred billion spirit jade back then was a huge fortune for Three Worlds Island.
But this ti the circumstances are different. What’s a hundred billion spirit jade now? Winged Heaven Planet wants to redeem a top-class Spirit Island with such a low price; Lu Ye naturally won’t agree.
Moreover, Shern Yun died at Lu Ye’s hands, and the Heavenly Net Umbrella was broken, creating a deep animosity. Allowing them to redeem Winged Heaven Island, even if it requires a great price, would be aiding the enemy.
It’s impossible to say that letting them redeem Winged Heaven Island would erase past grievances.
"How is Senior Sister’s relationship with Winged Heaven Planet?" Lu Ye asked again.
Jiu Yan said blandly, "Soone simply ca to , entrusted to convey a ssage, nothing more."
"Then I understand." Lu Ye nodded. If Jiu Yan had stepped in to plead, he would have to consider it, but if it was rely a ssage, he wouldn’t mind.
Moving past this topic, Lu Ye spoke again, "Senior Sister, I intend to build teleportation arrays for mutual access among Three Worlds Island, All Phenona Island, Zixuan Island, and Winged Heaven Island, what do you think?"
All Phenona Ocean is vast; now that I’m at Sun Blaze cultivation, traveling among various Spirit Islands is convenient, but I have not forgotten the hardships of traversing All Phenona Ocean during the Constellation. Often it takes ten, twenty days, or even longer to travel from one Spirit Island to another.
But if there were teleportation arrays, it would be much more convenient.
These four top-class Spirit Islands are now considered the assets of Three Worlds Island. Connecting them with teleportation arrays would not only facilitate access, but if any of these islands face trouble, the other three could quickly provide support.
There are teleportation arrays in All Phenona Ocean, but they generally only connect closely related Spirit Islands and are not widespread.
Because teleportation arrays have both advantages and disadvantages; if exploited by those with ill intentions, they could directly reach Yellow Dragon, so if relations aren’t close enough, they won’t permit the setup of teleportation arrays.
"You can decide, I have no opinion on this matter." Jiu Yan replied. Nominally, she is the master of All Phenona Island now, but she knows very well the actual situation; Lu Ye asked her to manage All Phenona Island primarily because of her identity as the All Phenona Sun Blaze.
Moreover, the benefits brought by managing All Phenona Island are irresistible, so they are considered in cooperation.
Now that Lu Ye plans to create teleportation arrays, what objection could she have?
"Then thank you, Senior Sister." Lu Ye thanked her, "I will arrange this matter later."
After chatting with Jiu Yan for a while, Lu Ye finally bid farewell.
Returning to Three Worlds Island, Lu Ye found Old Tang and inford him about the plan to set up teleportation arrays, letting him take charge of the matter. Old Tang imdiately wore a bitter face: "I should have stayed in Jade Conch to retire!" Setting up teleportation arrays is no easy task.
"The capable ones do more work." Lu Ye comforted him, then said, "Also, find so people to spread the story of our battle between Jade Conch and Zixuan. Mind the degree, don’t let it appear too deliberate!"
