Humanity’s Great Sage

Over a long period, the Dao Fish that Lu Ye consumed during his cultivation all came from Qin Feng's battle arena.

He obtained a large number of Dao Fish that time, but his own cultivation consumed a lot, and coupled with the battles, it was all a waste of Dao power.

As of today, the Dao Fish in his hand are basically exhausted.

Although there are still some reserves on the Talent Tree, those are ultimately to be kept for emergencies.

So, if he wants to continue cultivating, he still needs to find resources. Although the Dao power in the Source World is rich, with his cultivation method, the efficiency of accumulating Dao power will not be too slow, but it is still not as fast as refining Dao Fish.

Moreover, he has been here for several months, always staying on this small island. Lu Ye also wants to go out and take a look, and by the way, find a way to leave.

He is unwilling to be trapped in this Source World forever.

Having made up his mind, he tidied up a little and soared into the air.

Lu Ye was overjoyed and hurried to meet him. At the same time, he used his eyesight to observe and found that the person coming was a woman, and she should be a human.

The distance between them quickly narrowed, and soon they were close, and they stopped.

Observing at close range, Lu Ye found that this person was indeed a human, and judging from the aura on her body, she should be a Dao Harmonization Realm cultivator.

Since they are both humans, they should be able to communicate. Lu Ye was about to speak, but he heard the woman reprimand: "It's this time, what are you running around for? Do you not want to live!".

"Huh?" Lu Ye looked at her with a blank expression.

"Follow me quickly!" The woman waved her hand and flew in one direction first, looking in a hurry.

Lu Ye pondered slightly and quickly followed, catching up with the woman and advancing side by side.

"Lu Ye has met this fellow Daoist, how should I address you?" Lu Ye cupped his fists.

The woman tilted her head and glanced at him, seeming a little impatient, but she still replied: "Xia He."

"Fellow Daoist Xia." Lu Ye nodded, "Where are we going?"

Xia He asked instead of answering: "Do you have a place to go?"

Lu Ye thought to himself that I am new here, how could I have a place to go? He honestly said: "No!"

"Then follow me to Glazed Island!" Xia He said, suddenly realizing something, she turned her head to look at Lu Ye and said: "Looking at your dull appearance, you don't know anything, do you?"

"I was just about to ask for advice." Lu Ye's expression became serious.

Xia He couldn't help but reach out and support her forehead: "You really don't know anything?" She was thinking, it's this time, how can there still be people wandering outside alone?

"Didn't your elders tell you? The Hunt is about to begin!"

"Hunt?" Lu Ye was even more confused. What hunt?

Xia He looked speechless: "Where did you come from? How can you not even know this kind of thing?"

Lu Ye's expression was as usual: "I have been cultivating hard before, and only recently came out to take a look, so I don't know much about the situation outside." He couldn't tell outsiders that he came from the Inner World, which would be shocking and hard to explain.

This Xia He doesn't seem to have any malice, and she is also a human like himself, but the so-called knowing a person's face but not their heart, before truly understanding the other party, Lu Ye can't determine what kind of character the other party is.

"So that's how it is." Xia He showed a clear expression. Although there are not many people like Lu Ye in this Cage Sea, it is not that there are none. She sighed slightly, seemingly not wanting to tell Lu Ye the truth, and said: "Don't ask too much, just follow me."

Lu Ye was silent for a moment, and after all, he didn't speak again.

If the other party doesn't want to say more, he can't ask more. No matter what the situation is, he will see it with his own eyes later.

Following Xia He all the way forward, chatting occasionally, about half an hour later, an island appeared in front of them.

This small island is not much different from the many islands Lu Ye had seen before. They are not too big. It should be the Glazed Island that Xia He said.

The two figures went straight to the island and went forward for a while, arriving at a cliff.

Xia He looked around, took out a jade pendant, urged her power to pour into it, and raised her hand to hit it forward.

The rock wall in front of her immediately seemed to melt, revealing an opening.

Xia He stepped in, and Lu Ye followed closely behind.

"Sister Xia He." A happy voice sounded, and a petite figure came forward and crashed directly into Xia He's arms, twisting for a while.

"Alright, Xiao Man, don't make trouble." Xia He held the petite woman's head and pushed her out of her arms.

"How is it outside?" Xiao Man asked after standing still, and suddenly saw Lu Ye behind Xia He, and couldn't help but wonder: "Who is this?"

Xia He casually explained: "A clueless newbie I met on the road."

Behind her, Lu Ye looked at his nose and his heart.

"Where are Senior Brother Liu and the others?" Xia He asked again.

Xiao Man said: "They are all inside. Everyone was worried because you didn't come back for so long."

Xia He said: "I just went to see the situation outside. Something delayed me on the road. Let's go in and talk about it later."

A moment later, several figures gathered in a cave.

There are not many people, only five in total. In addition to Xia He and the woman named Xiao Man, the remaining three are all men.

To Lu Ye's surprise, all five of them were humans.

Among the five, the male cultivator named Liu Chang seemed to be the leader. The remaining two were surnamed Zhou and Sun.

The few people exchanged a few simple words, all worried, as if something extremely bad was about to happen.

The arrival of Lu Ye did not elicit much reaction from the others, neither enthusiastic nor indifferent. Only the woman named Xiao Man seemed to be curious about Lu Ye, staring at him for a long time.

Lu Ye secretly observed and found that the strength of these five people was very good. Except for Xiao Man, who was a Lower Dao Harmonization Realm cultivator, the remaining four had two Middle Dao Harmonization Realm cultivators, and Liu Chang and Xia He were both Upper Dao Harmonization Realm cultivators.

Lu Ye was not too surprised by this.

In fact, when he came to this Source World, he had a hunch that the cultivation level of the creatures in this world would not be too low, because the cultivation environment here is too good, and the strength of the cultivators here will grow very quickly.

"Everyone, don't run around during this period. Stay here honestly." Liu Chang glanced around at everyone while speaking, "I hope we can all survive this calamity safely."

Xiao Man said: "Senior Brother Liu, why don't we go to the big island? There are many people there, and even if we encounter danger, we have the qualifications to resist."

Liu Chang shook his head and said: "There are indeed many people gathered on the big island, and they can resist one or two if they encounter danger, but the target is also conspicuous. If they are really targeted, the outcome may not be good. Hiding like this, as long as we are not too unlucky, is safer than going to the big island."

Xia He patted Xiao Man's hand: "There are advantages and disadvantages to going to the big island or staying here. Last time I went to the big island, I would have lost my life if I hadn't been lucky."

Xiao Man nodded: "Anyway, I'm with Sister Xia He. Wherever Sister Xia He goes, I will be there."

"Let's do this, I hope we are the favored ones." Liu Chang smiled bitterly and waved his hand.

Everyone dispersed. There was a place to stay in the cave. After Xia He arranged a place for Lu Ye to rest, she did not leave, but stayed with Xiao Man.

"It can be seen that you have many things you don't understand. If you have anything you want to ask, you can ask now." Xia He sat not far in front of Lu Ye.

Lu Ye really had many things he wanted to ask.

He was not polite and immediately asked: "Fellow Daoists seem to be avoiding some danger? And what is the Hunt all about?"

Xiao Man said: "Have you been living alone before? Has no one told you anything?"

Lu Ye shook his head: "I know nothing about the situation outside."

Xiao Man looked at Lu Ye in disbelief, as if she didn't expect that there would be such a person in this world.

Xia He's expression was calm, because she had met people like Lu Ye before. Sometimes ignorance is actually a kind of happiness. The more you know, the more cruel you feel.

"Do you know what this sea is called?" Xia He did not immediately answer Lu Ye's question, but asked.

"I don't know." Lu Ye shook his head.

"Cage Sea!" Xia He's voice was bitter, "The cage of a prison! Because this entire sea is a cage for our human race."

"Our human race is imprisoned in this sea?" Lu Ye frowned.

"You can say that. There are also humans living outside, but their situation is much more difficult than ours. They are basically slaves of various races, living a life worse than death, struggling to survive."

"Why is this so? Have we humans offended some strong person?"

Xia He smiled bitterly: "You can't say we offended them, only because our human race has no Saint! Without anyone to protect us, of course we will be bullied."

Xiao Man said from the side: "There is still one, but that one has long ignored worldly affairs."

"The human race has no Saint!" Lu Ye raised his eyebrows.

"You can't blame that one, after all, he is alone and cannot provide too much protection." Xia He shook her head.

Lu Ye asked curiously: "Do other races have Saints?"

"Basically, they all have them. The Saints of those big races often have several." Xia He looked at Lu Ye and said: "You can cultivate to the Dao Harmonization Realm, can't you feel that this world is malicious to our human race."

Lu Ye didn't feel this too much. After all, he hasn't been here for a long time, but along the way, the situation of the human race in the Star Abyss is indeed not very good.

Especially in the Outer Realm, due to the popularity of the Bone Nourishment Art, many humans are in a state of being raised in captivity. The meaning of life for these captive humans is to have their bones continuously extracted by others, serving as a renewable cultivation resource.

If the Outer Realm is like this, then reflected in the Inner Realm, the number of human powerhouses is very small.

Even in this Source Realm, the situation has not improved. (End of Chapter)
