What kind of quality does a flying sword that even a Sun Blaze Realm expert doesn't dare look back at have? Lu Ye didn't know. Moreover, such a flying sword was intelligent. Lu Ye thought if such a sword targeted him, he could only do one thing: wash his neck and wait. However, the sword targeting him now wasn't the original sword, just a single sword light split from it! So, it might be possible to resist it. Along with the first movement of the Tyrannical Saber being executed by the Boulder Mountain Saber, the supplies box at Lu Ye's waist trembled, and a weapon was already flying out. This was a layer of security; before truly coming into contact with it, he wasn't sure if he could block the sword flashes. Starlight blossomed across the void, accurately stabbing the incoming sword flashes, Lu Ye's expression darkened, the long saber wheel turned like a moon, and instantly the saber lights flew out like snow, heading towards it together. However, whether it was the previous first movement of the Tyrannical Saber or the current second movement, neither could obstruct the advancement of the sword light. This sword flash seemed unimposing but was as unstoppable as a surging river. His saber lights touched it and melted away like snow under the blazing sun! Is this something the Constellation Realm can withstand? That Fong Rumo, he's simply causing harm! Upon realizing something was wrong, Lu Ye turned and ran, pushing his spirit force to the limit, reaching extreme speed quickly. But the sensation of a sharp blade against his back grew clearer, and the distance between the sword flashes and himself increased, with a sharp aura letting Lu Ye know that if pierced by such a sword flash, he definitely couldn't defend it, even with his powerful physique. After escaping for less than 5 breaths, Lu Ye had no choice but to activate the Void Spirit Runes, disappearing instantly from his position. Almost the moment he vanished, the sword flash pierced the spot where he had originally been. A thousand miles away, Lu Ye reappeared, but before he could catch his breath, that feeling of being locked on by spirit force came again. Looking up, a point of light was swiftly coming toward him from a thousand miles away. Even though it's just a separated sword light, it has the effect of locking onto and pursuing the enemy. Lu Ye's teleportation didn't shake it off; of course, mainly because the time was pressing, and the teleportation distance wasn't far enough. The recently retrieved weapon was thrown out again, and this time not just one, but five or six, rapidly flying across the stellar space. Lu Ye held his saber, standing firm, watching the sword flashes quickly approaching him, judging the distance between them. Until it reached about 30 miles away, he suddenly struck out with his saber, unleashing saber lights in succession. He could be certain, even if he borrowed the Void Spirit Runes to teleport again, the sword light would continue to chase him. Continuing would waste an unknown amount of time. So to shake off this sword light, there was only one way—continuously deplete its energy! It's just a sword light split out, rootless wood, water without a source. Once its energy is consumed to a certain extent, it will naturally vanish. Lu Ye dared not let it get close, so he could only lash out with saber lights in defense; although the effects weren't known, he prioritized safety. Other Constellation Realm cultivators certainly couldn't emulate his approach; facing such a sword light could only mean fighting hard, with a high probability of unfavorable outcomes. Crescent-like saber lights were continuously unleashed as Lu Ye swung the Boulder Mountain Saber, precisely striking the sword flashes. When the distance between them was about 5 miles, Lu Ye activated the void and left his spot. Appearing at another location, sure enough, the sword light chased after him again. Employ the same method! Initially, no results could be seen; there were no signs of the sword light's brilliance or power diminishing. But as time passed and as Lu Ye continued to act, he could clearly sense the sword light weakening. Until after half a day, the sword light's gloss dimmed to almost unnoticeable levels. This time, Lu Ye didn't activate the Void Spirit Runes but rushed towards the sword light with his saber. As they passed each other, he struck with his saber. The sword light shattered! The feeling of being locked on also vanished. Lu Ye steadied his body and couldn't help but sigh. A mere sword light cost him half a day to dissipate; how terrifying must the flying sword itself be? Moreover, to say nothing, this wasn't something the Constellation Realm could shake off or withstand; Fong Rumo perhaps wanted him dead? If he really intended it, why bother going to such lengths? Lu Ye indeed misunderstood; Fong Rumo was certain that the sword light wouldn't take Lu Ye's life by releasing him at that moment. Of course, suffering and getting injured were inevitable, but once cultivation reached the Constellation Realm, recovery became stronger; as long as one didn't die at that time, rest would eventually lead to recovery. According to Fong Rumo's estimates, the injuries Lu Ye sustained this time would take one or two months to fully recover, then he'd be fine. He underestimated Lu Ye's methods. Mainly relying on Void Spirit Runes to teleport, even in the Constellation Realm, let alone the Sun Blaze Realm, it's difficult to accomplish, unless prepared in advance. Lu Ye used a clever method to avoid suffering. After resolving the sword flashes, Lu Ye found a nearby desolate planet. In the stellar space, these desolate planets are most numerous, along with drifting meteors, almost ubiquitous. These lifeless planets do not nurture any life, but there's a high chance of finding spirit jade. Lu Ye had previously obtained spirit jade on many such desolate planets. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮·𝙣𝙚𝙩 This time, however, he wasn't looking for spirit jade but needed a place to recover himself and determine his current location. Swept away by Fong Rumo, he'd already left Lu Ye's planned range, but fortunately, he wasn't very far, so it wasn't a big issue. The entanglement with the sword flashes had left him quite drained. He took out the spirit jade and held it in his palm, activating the power of the Talent Tree to absorb it, controlling the process at a sensible efficiency without wasting it. Lu Ye then determined his location based on the positions of Taiyang Star and Taibai Star. He had tried this method several times on previous journeys, gaining some experience, so shortly after, he roughly understood his position relative to Nine Provinces. Then he examined his Boulder Mountain Saber. Fong Rumo said there was a secret technique sealed in the Boulder Mountain Saber, but didn't specify what kind. Lu Ye didn't know either. Upon careful examination, Lu Ye found traces of a seal within the Boulder Mountain Saber, but the seal wasn't very strong, so if he injected enough spirit force, it could be broken, allowing the secret technique inside to manifest. This should be the method to deploy the secret technique. The power of the secret technique was unknown to Lu Ye, since it was one-time-use, so he couldn't just experiment with it. But since it was bestowed by a Sun Blaze Realm expert, it should be extraordinary. He rested for half a day, recovering fully. Lu Ye then pondered the opportunity Fong Rumo had mentioned. Two choices lay before him: He could follow Fong Rumo's guidance to explore. The secret technique sealed in the Boulder Mountain Saber was prepared for this opportunity. Of course, Lu Ye could choose not to go. After all, the seal in the Boulder Mountain Saber was already a benefit, keeping it might provide life-saving capital in the future. Moreover, as Fong Rumo mentioned, while it was indeed an opportunity, it also carried risks. But where there is opportunity, there are risks, and Lu Ye understood this as he traversed all the way to this point. Not wanting to miss a chance pointed out by a Sun Blaze Realm expert, Lu Ye leaped up, flying in the direction indicated by Fong Rumo. He decided to first take a look. If it proved too dangerous, he would abandon it. One couldn't just ignore it, as a cultivator never avoided challenges. Especially for someone like Lu Ye, not knowing was one thing, but knowing meant having to investigate. In some respects, a robust curiosity isn't unique to the Fairy Race; almost every species possesses it. Fong Rumo had merely pointed in a direction casually, and Lu Ye, during the entanglement with the sword flashes, had constantly maneuvered and altered his course. Thus, determining the original direction pointed by Fong Rumo was somewhat challenging. In the stellar space, without suitable reference points, it's impossible to discern directions; often a slight error leads to deviations of about 30 miles. Fortunately, Lu Ye's sense of direction was fairly good, and he approached the situation with optimism, thinking: If I find it, I'll look; if I don't, it's fine. Flying while probing along the way, he discovered nothing. He flew for over half a month, finding only a few pieces of spirit jade and nothing else. Lu Ye was considering heading back, estimating he must have gotten the direction wrong; otherwise, he should have found the opportunity Fong Rumo pointed to. He decided to search the surrounding area for another half month; if nothing was found, he would return and explore in the direction of Nine Provinces. This thought made him feel more relaxed. However, it took less than half a month; in just under ten days, Lu Ye saw a broken spirit ark from afar. The spirit ark was large, with three levels, resembling the spirit arks from Nine Provinces, but clearly of higher quality, suitable for long voyages in stellar space. This spirit ark appeared to be of an aggressive type, its design quite ferocious, like a lurking ferocious beast. But it was unclear what it had encountered, as the ark looked battered, seemingly having undergone a fierce, arduous battle. The most apparent damage was a huge hole on the side, piercing straight through its interior. In the stellar space, this ominous and damaged spirit ark drifted slowly, evoking a strange and eerie feeling. Is this the opportunity Fong Rumo mentioned? Lu Ye wasn't sure. But if he hadn't gotten the direction wrong, this should be it. What kind of opportunity does a broken spirit ark represent? Lu Ye didn't approach rashly but instead circled the spirit ark several times, cautiously extending his Mental Consciousness to probe from afar.
