Humanity’s Great Sage

In their hiding place, Lu Ye and Xue Jiu stared at each other, each seeing lingering fear in the other's eyes.

Without a doubt, Qi had been attracted by the commotion of their earlier fight.

If they didn't both possess Phoenix Clan blood, they would likely have already been in trouble. The reason Qi ignored them was because of the resonance in their bloodlines.

Although Lu Ye was still wary of Xue Jiu, he no longer wanted to attack, because if Qi was here, wasn't that San also here?

If they made any more noise and attracted that San as well, they wouldn't be so lucky.

It was clear that Xue Jiu also had no desire to fight. The Blood Master was currently standing in place, his expression constantly changing.

"This isn't the Inner Starfield?" Lu Ye suddenly asked.

The reason he asked this was mainly because everything he had seen and felt since arriving here was too strange. The most obvious thing was that the Dao power wandering in this Starfield felt very pure.

In the Star Abyss, whether in the Outer or Inner Starfield, Dao power was mixed with the aura of the Star Abyss, but the aura of the Star Abyss was not just the aura of the Star Abyss. It was also mixed with something else, the traces left by that grand will.

The more cultivators cultivated, the more serious this trace accumulated in their bodies. It wouldn't cause any substantial impact on the cultivators, but it was the way and means for that will to control the cultivators' bodies and minds.

There wasn't a trace of that in this strange Starfield.

Not only was it pure, but it was also very rich. In Lu Ye's perception, the density of the Dao power wandering here was no less than that of a Cosmic City.

If cultivators cultivated in such a place for a long time, the efficiency would definitely be unimaginable.

If it was just these things, that would be fine, but the key was Xue Jiu's sudden weakening. The reason for this was that he had lost the resonance with the Blood Drink City's Dao Convergence Pearl, and he couldn't get the blessing of the Dao Convergence Pearl!

Xue Jiu was one of the Ten Great City Lords. As long as he was in the Inner Starfield, no matter how far away he was from Blood Drink City, he could get this blessing. However, if the distance was too far, this blessing would weaken, but now this blessing had disappeared.

Unless... this wasn't the Inner Starfield!

Another point... the Dragon Book in Lu Ye's Divine Sea had lost contact with the outside world, just like his situation in the Outer Starfield before.

But if this wasn't the Inner Starfield, then where was this place?

Xue Jiu glanced at Lu Ye leisurely, without answering.

His expression was very strange at the moment, somewhat excited, somewhat agitated, somewhat uneasy and depressed, and a trace of fear. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Lu Ye would have found it hard to believe that such a complex expression could appear on one person's face.

Moreover, this person was one of the strongest in the Inner Starfield.

"You saw it too?" Xue Jiu's voice was deep. "Kid, we're probably in big trouble."

"How do you say that?" Lu Ye looked like he was asking for advice.

Xue Jiu was a little impatient, but after a little thought, he still opened his mouth and said, "Do you know the Source Starfield?"

"I've never heard of it." Lu Ye shook his head honestly. "What is that place?"

"Source Starfield..." Xue Jiu murmured, "People only know that the Star Abyss is divided into the Outer and Inner Starfields, but in fact, only a small number of people know that in addition to the Outer and Inner Starfields, there is also a Source Starfield. The entire Star Abyss is divided into three Starfields."

Lu Ye couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

He had actually thought about this matter before. The Star Abyss had the Outer and Inner Starfields, so was there another layer under the Inner Starfield? But he was just thinking about it and had never explored this matter. Only today did he know that there really was a third layer.

"Since there is a Source Starfield, why do so few people know about it?" Lu Ye asked.

Xue Jiu didn't answer but asked, "When you were in the Outer Starfield and your strength was not high, had you ever heard of the Inner Starfield?"

Lu Ye thought for a while. He had indeed wandered in the Outer Starfield for a long time before he heard of the Inner Starfield, and it was only at that time that he knew the division between the Outer and Inner Starfields.

"If your strength is insufficient, you naturally can't know." Xue Jiu said slowly, "If I'm not mistaken, this is the Source Starfield, a place that ordinary cultivators can't reach, the most core location of the Star Abyss."

"Even a Blood Master of your strength didn't have the qualifications to set foot in the Source Starfield before?" Lu Ye looked at him.

Xue Jiu sneered, "Do you think the Source Starfield is so easy to enter? This is a place that only Saints can set foot in!" After saying that, he frowned again and said, "Even if this Master has that strength, I wouldn't want to come here. No one wants to come here!"

"Saint!" Lu Ye's eyes lit up, vaguely grasping some key points.

"That person just now... should be a Saint!" Xue Jiu looked in the direction where Qi had just left. "That is the realm above Dao Convergence."

Lu Ye couldn't help but feel shocked.

Above Dao Convergence is Saint!

That Qi was a Saint. No wonder she was so strong. His and Xue Jiu's combined attack just now didn't even lift the corner of her clothes. That kind of power was simply despairing.

"I see that the cultivation environment here is excellent, much better than the Inner Starfield, and cultivators like us should be brave and forge ahead, climbing high mountains. Since there is a Saint above Dao Convergence, doesn't the Blood Master have the desire to pursue it? Why do you say that no one wants to come here?" Lu Ye was full of doubts.

For cultivators, this Source Starfield was definitely a cultivation holy land. Such a holy land should have been sought after by countless cultivators and flocked to it.

Xue Jiu couldn't help but sneer, "Throughout the ages, there have not been many cultivators who have become Saints, but there have been some after all, but where are those Saints now? Have you ever met them in the Inner Starfield? What was the situation of that person just now? Can't you tell?"

As soon as he asked this, Lu Ye immediately reacted.

This Source Starfield was probably easy to enter but difficult to exit, so even if Saints were born throughout the ages, they were all trapped in this Source Starfield!

Another point was that Qi's condition was abnormal. She had long been reduced to a puppet, becoming the minion of that will.

"It looks like you understand." Xue Jiu watched coldly and couldn't help but sneer again, "Become a Saint? Hehe, even dogs don't want it!"

Xue Jiu's strength and status were enough for him to understand some things. Not only him, but those strong people in the Inner Starfield probably had noticed it, so Xue Jiu had the awareness of not becoming a Saint, because he knew that once he took that step, he would become a puppet.

"Why did we come to the Source Starfield?" Lu Ye couldn't understand this point.

As soon as the words came out, Xue Jiu glared at him fiercely, "Isn't it because of you!"

Lu Ye blinked, looking innocent.

Xue Jiu said angrily, "In recent years, the boundary between the Outer and Inner Starfields seems to be blurring. There are signs that these two Starfields are about to merge, but I don't know why."

Lu Ye couldn't help but nod. He had also noticed this before. He felt it very clearly when he was summoned by the will of the Star Abyss to go to the Outer Starfield to assist the cultivator named Xuan Huai in setting up the formation.

He suddenly reacted.

When he urged the power of the Talent Tree to burn away the power that Xue Jiu had invaded his body and teleported through the void, the entire Star Abyss had a huge change. At that moment, it was as if three worlds were merging.

It should have been at that point in time that he had an accident when he teleported through the void and ended up in the Source Starfield.

Xue Jiu was also implicated because of that secret technique.

Realizing this, Lu Ye frowned, only feeling that the timing was too coincidental. If he had teleported through the void a little earlier or a little later, this kind of thing shouldn't have happened.

But it happened at the moment when the three Starfields were shaking and resonating!

That's why he was able to come directly from the Inner Starfield to this legendary Source Starfield.

While speaking, Xue Jiu showed a thoughtful expression, touching his chin and saying, "In this way, it's not just the Outer and Inner Starfields that are blurring, the Source Starfield is the same!"

Lu Ye said, "If this continues, will there be a situation where the three Starfields merge in the future?"

Xue Jiu sneered, "This is an inevitable result, but it should take some time, and no one can predict what kind of consequences will be triggered after such a situation occurs."

Lu Ye's expression was deep.

Without a doubt, Qi Saint was in the Source Starfield, and that San Saint was probably also there, as well as other Saints. If the Star Abyss really merged with the three Starfields in the future, there would probably be many Saints walking in the Star Abyss. At that time, the Ten Great City Lords would no longer be the strongest.

Lu Ye couldn't imagine what the situation in the Star Abyss would be like then.

But it could be predicted that those many Star Systems would inevitably encounter more disasters.

At present, the disasters faced by the major Star Systems were mainly the invasion of the Star Abyss in the Outer Starfield. Although this degree of invasion was a disaster for the Star Systems, Star Systems such as his own or the Giant Spirit Star System that he had visited last time had the ability to resist.

But if the Outer, Inner, and Source Starfields merged in the future, the level of the opponents faced by the Star Systems would be greatly improved. Once the Star Abyss invasion began, no Star System would be able to resist.

"Kid, the reason why this Master is telling you so much is because the two of us can be considered to be in the same boat. Let's not mention the previous grudges for the time being. The only purpose for you and me right now is to find a way to leave here. Do you agree?" Xue Jiu glanced sideways at Lu Ye.

If this wasn't the Source Starfield, Xue Jiu would never have made peace with Lu Ye.

The Blood Clan had suffered too much in this battle, and even the Starry Sky Chessboard that he was about to refine had been snatched away by Lu Ye.

In normal times, Xue Jiu would never have tolerated it.

But this was the Source Starfield, an unknown place with unknown dangers. How could Xue Jiu have the mind to care about anything with Lu Ye?

No matter what, the two of them had come in from the Inner Starfield. Perhaps there was no basis for trust between them, but Lu Ye's strength barely qualified him to join forces with him.

"What the Blood Master said is very true." Lu Ye nodded.

He was no longer in the mood to compete with Xue Jiu at the moment. What he had to do now was to quickly investigate the situation in the Source Starfield.

"Then we can reach a consensus!" Xue Jiu nodded, raised his hand and pointed, and a blood seal flew towards Lu Ye: "You have my Blood Clan bloodline. With this seal, you and I can contact each other. In the Source Starfield, this Master is willing to join forces with you to seek a way to leave."
