Between leaves, I understood. I said, "How strange, how coincidental, that things went so smoothly. Cao Xiang managed to find information about the jade spiral conch, and I just happened to go to Zhaoli Island. I saw the celestial cultivators of the Tianduan star system recruiting, and after a smooth discussion with Zhu Yuan, we agreed on a reward, and I was recruited."
<<<<
>>>>
All of this, it's all just a ploy, a scheme against him. The ultimate goal is to lure him here to meet Ma Bin.
...He even asked for 2,000 Spirit Jade from Tang Jun as travel expenses...
"Senior, you went to such lengths to have me come here. What is your command?" Lu Ye collected his thoughts and asked.
Since the information we previously received was false, it's unrealistic to return to Yuluo via Heavenly Derivation. We need to gather new intelligence.
<<
<<<"It's just that I wanted to see you." Ma Bin smiled slightly, "To be honest, the plan to shift the Nine States ten thousand years ago was made hastily. No one could guarantee success. But if we didn't move, the fate awaiting the Nine States would be annihilation. So we had to take a gamble. However, shifting realms has never been done before, and most people wouldn't dare because of the high risk. A single misstep could cause the entire realm to collapse, resulting in the death of all living beings within it. Looking back now, it seems like a success?">>>
If it fails, then there will be no Kyushu now. Lu Ye was sitting here perfectly fine.
The <<<>>>clearly illustrates some things. Lu Ye nodded, "Very successful. Over these ten thousand years, while the Kyushu region wasn't exactly peaceful and prosperous, the cultivation atmosphere was still quite good. Cultivators flourished, and the domain's foundation steadily increased until a few years ago when it was promoted to a large domain."
Ma Bin was somewhat surprised: "Logically speaking, the growth of Jiuzhou shouldn't be this fast. At that time, the seniors even made psychological preparations for Jiuzhou to lose its cultivation realm qualification. Because carrying out that plan at the time would cause a huge depletion of the realm's foundation, making it highly possible for Jiuzhou to fall into decline, causing the foundation to dissipate, spiritual energy to disappear, and transforming into an ordinary realm. Gradually, there would be no cultivators left."
Compared to the massacre, this result is acceptable. No matter what, the creatures of Kyushu can continue to survive, they just won't be able to cultivate anymore.
In the vast expanse of the cosmos, there are still many realms where cultivators do not exist.
The moment Ma Bin saw Lu Ye, he knew that the Kyushu region had become a large-scale domain. Only large-scale domains could nurture Star Venerable realm cultivators.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Lu Ye said, "As for the predictions of the seniors about the outcome of the Nine Regions, I am not qualified to comment. However, the foundation of the Nine Regions was indeed weakened for a period back then, and the level of cultivators within the realm was not high. Now that it has developed to such an extent, the credit goes largely to the Heavenly Mechanism Disk. The seniors may be unaware that many years ago, the Heavenly Mechanism Disk coincidentally gave birth to a spirit imbued with the essence of the Nine Regions' heaven and earth. This spirit possesses a very strong independent thought. Over the past few years, it has been under its management that the Nine Regions have developed."
"Oh?" Ma Bin's eyes lit up. "The spirit of the Celestial Mechanism Disk is so wonderful?"
<<< This was something the seniors of that year couldn't have predicted, it's a pleasant surprise. But speaking of which, even if one's cultivation reaches the level of Ri Zha, it's impossible to be foolproof. >>>
The strongest warriors from the Kyushu era at that time had made the worst preparations and best countermeasures they could. After that, they were powerless to worry about anything else because they all rushed to the star battlefield and fought to their deaths.
Back then, Ma Bin was just a newly promoted Star Venerable. Because his cultivation level wasn't high, he wasn't taken seriously by the enemy, and by sheer chance, he dodged a disaster.
<<
"Just listen." Ma Bin shifted his body, finding a more comfortable position, and looked at Lu Ye with excitement.
It's been so long ago that Lu Ye couldn't quite remember. All he could say was about his own experiences and what he understood.
Speaking of the confrontation between the two major camps in Kyushu, speaking of the Lingxi Battlefield, Yunhe Battlefield, and every strategic pass on the front line, then speak of Xiaojiu's shielding of Kyushu's existence, allowing Kyushu to peacefully spend these ten thousand years. And also speak of Xiaojiu picking up scraps like a beggar, collecting various floating continents and shattered realms from the starry sky, transforming them into secret realms one by one, allowing Kyushu cultivators to experience the unique flavors of other realms in advance.
And there was the insect plague. For the first time in history, the two major factions cooperated wholeheartedly, joining forces to invade the Zerg secret realm and wipe out the insect nests.
Suddenly, a mighty army arrived, marching into the Blood Refining Realm. They descended like divine warriors, slaughtering the blood race until they were utterly defeated. This saved countless human lives in that realm.
All sorts of things, when viewed from the perspective of sunlight, are just trivial matters. However, Ma Bin listened with great interest, his face even showing a hint of longing. He only wished he could have been there in person.
Myriad years stretch across the expanse of time, an incredibly long period. Even with his formidable cultivation, he couldn't help but feel homesickness...
For so many years, he had never proactively sought any information about Kyushu, nor had he ever looked for it. He didn't even know if Kyushu still existed.
<<>>
<<>
"Perhaps the essence of Kyushu's improvement and blood refinement is related. Ma Bin's expression became solemn: "In that case, is Kyushu now a realm where one can grow rapidly?"
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
<<<"It should be so." Lu Ye nodded. "Speaking of which, Kyushu was targeted by a sun-scorcher before it ascended to a large domain and connected with the starry sky not long after."<<<<
Ma Bin's expression turned cold, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes: "What was the name of that sun? Where did it come from?"
He looks like he's about to attack and kill someone.
"“Where it came from is unclear, its name was Yue Xin. But seniors needn’t worry, at the time I was guided by Xiao Jiu to find Senior Yang Qing and help him escape. That Yue Xin has already been killed by Senior Yang Qing.” "
<<<“Yang Qing……” Ma Bin was taken aback, then reacted: “Yes, he’s the Sect Master’s old friend. Because he made some mistakes, the Sect Master took action to seal him up. It seems like it was just a formality, and he was released soon after. As a result, when powerful enemies from the Nine Regions attacked, at the most critical moment, this senior wanted to break free and help, but the Sect Master refused, lest he suffer misfortune with us! He is very strong, so killing one Sunlit Realm cultivator by him is normal. In that case, is it this Senior Yang Qing who is now stationed in our homeland?”>>>
Lu Ye shook his head. “After Senior Yang Qing escaped, he took me to the Samsara Tree to participate in the struggle for the Divine Sea. When we returned, he left alone. As for where he went, he didn't say, and I don't know.”
Ma Bin's eyes flickered, as if he had realized something.
When it comes to the Samsara Tree, Lu Ye suddenly remembered something: "Senior, there is an incarnation of the Samsara Tree in Jiuzhou. It should know that Jiuzhou is still intact and also knows about the ***location. You haven't gone there to investigate?"
Ma Bin shook his head: "Outside the Samsara Tree, there are powerful figures lurking in the shadows. If I show my face, I will inevitably expose my whereabouts. I also wanted to go to the Samsara Tree to investigate the situation, but unfortunately, I never had the chance."
<<>>
<<<"So, how did you come to the Wanxiang Star System? Since you're here, why are you unaware of the way back, and have to rely on the Wanxiang Commerce Guild for information?" This particularly confused Ma Bin. >>>
However, it was thanks to Lu Ye's investigation through the Wanxiang Merchant Association that Zhu Yuan had the chance to lure him here.
"It's a long story," Lu Ye sighed, briefly explaining how Yue Xin had set up the grand formation that connected Wushuang Continent and Kyushu, making Wushuang an important training ground for True Lake and Shenhai. He then talked about the star cultivators from Qingli Dao Realm attacking, how he killed Xingyueyao with his red talisman, and was subsequently pursued by Tang Jun, leading to the birth of the insect path.
"I fell into the insect path with Tang Jun. In the end, we escaped thanks to a certain treasure. When I came to my senses, we were already in the Myriad Phenomena Constellation. The insect path had just formed and was unstable, so we couldn't return. "
Even someone like Mazibin, who lived in Rizhao, was astonished by the twists and turns of this story. As for the treasure that could help people escape from the insect path, Lu Ye didn't elaborate, and Mazibin didn't ask.
"But he was very interested in another matter: “How did you come by the red talisman of the Dwarf Clan?”
<<>>
<<

<<<"This is quite a favor, you are fated to help!" Ma Bin looked amazed and seemed to recall something amusing. "Entering the starry sky for the first time should be quite shocking, right? When I first entered the starry sky, I was dumbfounded. Thankfully, my senior brothers and sisters were there, otherwise, I wouldn't even know how to find my way back."
>>>
Speaking of these amusing anecdotes, a wistful look appeared in his eyes. Alas, after millennia, those familiar sights and sounds have vanished without a trace. To reminisce now only serves to deepen the sense of melancholy.
"He shook his head and said, "Go on, tell me more about yourselves. The old man's affairs are gloomy; you young people have the energy!" |
