When Lu Ye ascended to the Constellation Realm, a mystical aura spread out. Although the commotion wasn't large, any cultivator with accomplished cultivation would be able to sense it. Jian Guhong naturally noticed and immediately realized that someone had ascended to the Constellation Realm. As for who it was... after looking around briefly, he pinpointed the location at Mount Ao and then decided to send a message to Lu Ye. Seeing him now, it was indeed Lu Ye who had ascended to the Constellation Realm. He felt genuine comfort and satisfaction. Among the countless cultivators of the Nine Provinces, Jian Guhong and his peers considered Lu Ye as the most deserving among the younger generation. This was attributable to his various accomplishments. In the present Nine Provinces, if anyone had the ability to lead them to new heights, all those in the Constellation Realm could likely agree on one name. Lu Yiye of the Righteous Blood Sect! Thus, Lu Ye stepping into the Constellation Realm holds significant importance for the Nine Provinces. It means he can leap out of this small pond and step onto the grand stage of stellar space. How he would develop in the future depends entirely on his own abilities. "Why have you summoned me, elder?" Lu Ye asked. Jian Guhong usually wore a stern face, not out of arrogance, but simply due to his nature. However, he managed a rare smile at this moment: "Having ascended to the Constellation Realm, when do you plan to embark on your journey into the stellar space?" "In the next few days," Lu Ye replied, not intending to linger in the Nine Provinces. Before ascending, he was constantly working toward this goal; now that he had ascended, naturally, it was time to explore the vast wonders outside. If Jian Guhong hadn't summoned him, he would probably stay at Emerald Bamboo Peak for a few days to experience the mysteries of the Constellation Realm and then set out. There was no need to say farewell to anyone; he had already said his goodbyes. When the time comes, he'd simply inform the Second Senior Sister. Jian Guhong nodded slightly: "Have you decided where to go, or in which direction to head?" Lu Ye had no idea which direction he should go. Once out of the Nine Provinces, every direction becomes spherical with no specific destination in mind, moving wherever fate takes him. However, Jian Guhong would not ask such a foolish question. A thought struck Lu Ye: "I haven't decided yet. Do you have any advice, elder?" "Follow me!" Jian Guhong gestured with his hand. Lu Ye followed closely behind him, entering a side hall nearby. Upon entering, he was immediately struck with astonishment because there was a sphere placed within the side hall. It appeared to be made of wood, but it was clearly not just a simple object, as Lu Ye perceived some characteristics of a spirit treasure within it. In other words, this thing was a spirit treasure, though he didn't know its intended purpose here. He turned to Jian Guhong with a look of inquiry, Jian Guhong gestured: "Try channeling your spirit force into it." Lu Ye stepped forward, raised his hand, and pressed it on the sphere, channeling his spirit force into it. A soft buzzing sound occurred as points of light suddenly flew out from the spirit treasure sphere, spreading throughout the entire side hall. At first glance, it seemed as though fireflies had suddenly appeared inside the hall, like he had suddenly been placed within stellar space, with each point of light representing a star. It wasn't just these lights; there were also some unusually shaped clusters of light. The central light was relatively bright, flickering gently, as if it had its own life. All these sights radiated from this central light, but it was quite evident that many areas were blank and not adorned with points of light. At the farthest edge of one direction, there was a point of light shining most brightly! Originally, Lu Ye did not know what this was, but after observing it for a moment, he suddenly realized: "Elder, could this be a map of outer space beyond the Nine Provinces?" Jian Guhong nodded: "Indeed, it's a map of outer space beyond the Nine Provinces. We call it a star map!" Lu Ye gasped in surprise. When did they craft something ? He hadn't known at all. It seemed that during his time spent diligently cultivating, the pioneers hadn't wasted time either. They were doing things that couldn't be achieved by those below the Constellation Realm. Jian Guhong's voice spoke: "At present, the number of Constellations from the Nine Provinces has reached over 800. These people are exploring the stellar space, running far and wide, and near from afar. They record the size and positions of many stars in space, then pass this information to me, enabling me to create the star map." This is also the main reason he stayed at the Nine Provinces! The cultivators of the Nine Provinces started venturing into stellar space, but as a newly ascended large domain, those in the Constellation Realm understood that everyone needed to act as a collective rather than individually. Therefore, even though Lu Ye had given his suggestion, Jian Guhong and others weighed their options and chose to have someone remain stationed in the Nine Provinces. It's not for protecting the Nine Provinces but for the convenience of those who come later. We can't have every cultivator who advances to the Constellation Realm entering stellar space completely clueless, can we? The experiences of these pioneers in exploration are extremely valuable and need to be passed on, so more people can become aware of it. That's why Jian Guhong, Wuchang, and others have built a great hall here, known as the Nine Provinces Governor's Palace, where the Nine Provinces Governors reside naturally. The duty of the Governor's Hall is quite simple, which is to provide various information about stellar space to newly promoted Constellation Realm cultivators, allowing these successors to avoid detours and explore stellar space more effectively. This is also the awkward point and growing pain of every newly promoted major domain, because there is no path paved by predecessors to follow, and everything needs to be slowly explored. Unlike those established large domains or even top-tier domains, where the Constellation Realm cultivators have already mastered complete stellar space data before leaving their native domains, and their star maps can cover countries and beyond. Nine Provinces cultivators do not have such conveniences; nowadays, each Constellation Realm cultivator is a pioneer of history. The first thing they need to do is improve the star map of outer Nine Provinces. Having experienced the Spirit Stream battlefield and Cloud River battlefield, Lu Ye knows the importance of maps. For a moment, he felt solemn respect and respectfully bowed to Jian Guhong: "Your efforts, senior, will not be in vain, younger generations will emulate them." Jian Guhong smiled slightly: "This is a decision made by all Constellation Realm cultivators, not my sole effort!" Lu Ye shook his head: "Yet at this moment, you are the first senior to have stayed behind. Your dedication to Nine Provinces will be remembered by future generations." Just like Lu Ye himself, after advancing to the Constellation Realm, he also had an eager desire to venture into stellar space. Not to mention veteran seniors like Jian Guhong who have lingered in the Divine Sea Realm for hundreds of years. Yet, he still held back his desires and chose to stay in Nine Provinces. This stay will not be short; it's impossible for someone to replace him in one or two months, as journeys in stellar space take a long time. Those who leave the Constellation Realm won't return in just a month or two. In the discussion among Jian Guhong and others, this matter isn't forced. If someday a Constellation Realm cultivator becomes tired and weary from wandering outside, or collects a certain amount of spirit jade and needs a stable environment to cultivate, they can return to Nine Provinces to take on the duty of Governor from Jian Guhong. Only then can Jian Guhong depart for stellar space. Of course, if no one returns for a long time, Jian Guhong can choose to pull someone in to replace him, as Nine Provinces, based on its current situation, will continue to birth new Constellation Realm cultivators. Of course, that's a matter for later. Follow current novels on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⟡𝕗𝗂𝗋𝖾⟡𝕟𝕖𝕥 Jian Guhong smiled slightly and didn't speak further on this issue. Having decided to guard Nine Provinces alone, he won't self-pity but will do his duty as agreed. This star map is the result of his recent efforts. "This is Nine Provinces!" Jian Guhong pointed to the brightest light spot at its center and said. Lu Ye had guessed it. Since it's a star map of Nine Provinces, naturally it was drawn with Nine Provinces at its center. He pointed to the brightest light spot at the furthest edge: "This is the Sun!" How far the Sun is from Nine Provinces, no one knows now, since no one has been able to fly there, so it is placed at the furthest edge, symbolizing a long distance. "Look here." Jian Guhong pointed to another direction, where there was another relatively bright light spot. "This star we call Taibai Star! In stellar space, it's challenging to determine your position, as in such a grand environment, there's no up and down, left and right, or east, west, south, north. For cultivators newly entering stellar space, it's easy to get lost. Don't laugh, but I'll tell you, this was the most frequent problem encountered by our first batch of cultivators entering stellar space! Thankfully, we didn't wander too far initially and could safely return. If we went further, returning wouldn't be certain. So, in stellar space, how can one accurately find Nine Provinces' location?" Jian Guhong paused momentarily, giving Lu Ye space to think. Without his prior guidance, Lu Ye might not have thought of anything, as he was clueless about this. He hadn't ventured through stellar space on his own. But with his prior specific hints, Lu Ye vaguely understood: "Using the Sun and Taibai Star to locate Nine Provinces?" Jian Guhong nodded: "Exactly! As long as you recognize these two stars' positions, finding Nine Provinces' location isn't hard." Lu Ye imagined himself in stellar space, giving him some semblance of understanding. This reflects the wisdom of predecessors; if left alone to explore, he might find a way, but it would cost time and energy. If truly lost in stellar space, who knows where he might drift to. "What is this?" Lu Ye pointed to a place on the star map, where a cluster of hazy light gathered, unlike any star. "I'm not sure what exactly this is; the message we received described it just , so I only visualized it based on that description." Lu Ye stared at the cluster of light, realizing at first glance that it resembled a ferocious beast in shape, but there couldn't be such a huge beast in stellar space. Suddenly inspired, he said: "Stellar marvel!" "What?" Jian Guhong showed a puzzled expression.
