Chapter 2356 Returning like an arrow
As time went by, with the continuous consumption of Dao power, the strength improvement that the Panshan Knife could bring to Lu Ye gradually increased. One, two, five, ten...

After seven full months, this improvement reached the level of twenty levels!

Such efficiency is unimaginable for ordinary Daoists. The main reason is that Lu Ye is willing to spend a huge amount of Dao power, thus saving time.

No one else who has reached the Dao level would be able to possess the Dao power reserves that Lu Ye has.

The improvement of Panshan Sword cannot be amplified by Dao patterns, so its twenty Dao powers are not the basic Dao powers that Lu Ye can control.

And because the Panshan Sword is an offensive Taoist weapon, it only increases Lu Ye's damage and has no effect on defense.

In short, after Lu Ye broke through the second level of Rong Dao, the basic Dao force he controlled was 280 Dao, and his real strength was 336 Dao. So when he held the Panshan Sword to kill the enemy, the strength he could exert was 356 Dao, but the strength of his own protective Dao force was still 336 and would not change because of the Dao soldiers.

For Lu Ye, this is not a big deal. With more than 300 protective Dao powers at the level of Rong Dao, even if one or two people at the peak of Rong Dao join forces, they will never be able to break it, unless there are more of them.

At this point, Lu Ye slowed down the speed of nourishing the Panshan Sword, because he had to reserve enough Dao power. After all, nourishing Dao soldiers is never a one-time thing. In the future, even if he is on the road, he can nourish it at any time. It doesn't matter if the efficiency is low, as long as it is persistent.

Seven months...

Calculating the time, the 150 Rong Daoists who went out to explore should have already started their journey back home, and they have been back for a month.

Therefore, he only needs to wait for another five months at most, and the Rong Daos who had dispersed before would be able to return.

He didn't know whether this exploration would yield any results, so he could only wait.

A few days later, Lu Ye, who was sitting cross-legged on the meteorite, suddenly opened his eyes and looked in one direction.

From that direction, a stream of light was approaching this side at an extremely fast speed.

Lu Ye stood up quickly. Even though he had experienced many storms, he couldn't help but feel excited when he saw this stream of light!
At this time, someone actually came back.

Lu Ye's heartbeat slowed down a beat, because he knew that the cultivators who could return at this time either encountered difficulties and could not continue exploring, or... made a discovery!
Lu Ye didn't know which situation it was.

The light slowly came closer, and Lu Ye sensed that he did not see any signs of injury on the cultivator, and he became more and more excited.

Is it possible...

"Yan Ping greets Fellow Daoist Lu!"

The man came closer and saluted with his fists clasped.

Lu Ye returned the greeting, suppressed his excitement, and said, "Daoyou came back at this time, did you encounter any incident on the way?"

Yan Ping shook his head and said, "I didn't encounter anything. I just explored along the way and found a region of stars that were very similar to what you recorded in your jade slip. But I didn't know if it was correct, so I came back to ask you to check it out."

Lu Ye's heart was beating wildly, and he tried to keep his tone steady: "Fellow Daoist, you should have a record of the astrological phenomena in that area, right?"

"Of course!" Yan Ping said, taking out a jade slip and handing it to Lu Ye.

Lu Ye took it, immersed his mind in it, carefully examined it, and compared it with the memories in his mind.

After a moment, he showed a look of joy and couldn't help laughing: "This is it! Fellow Daoist Yan Ping, right? Well done, well done. I owe you a favor. If you need anything in the future, just tell me. I will do my best and will never refuse."

Yan Ping waved his hands and said, "Fellow Daoist, you are too serious. We are following the orders of the Patriarch in this exploration. We don't deserve your thanks. Moreover, if I want to leave Banlan in the future, I will need your help."

"It's different." Lu Ye shook his head. "For you, this exploration is a small matter, but for me, it is more important than anything else, because it involves my way home and the safety of the entire starry sky. Anyway, no matter what, if you need any help in the future, just ask."

Yan Ping didn't act pretentiously and grinned: "Then I'll remember it first."

"That's as it should be!"

Lu Ye did not expect to find the direction home so easily, but he was also a little scared, because judging from the direction Yan Ping returned from, if he let Banlan continue to drift forward for half a year before starting to explore, there was a high possibility that he would miss it.

If this is true, Lu Ye will never be able to find his way back.

Maybe he will find it one day, but that may be many years later.

After chatting with Yan Ping for a long time, Lu Ye became more and more certain that the end of Yan Ping's exploration was the place he had passed by, so now things were simple. He only needed to slightly adjust the direction of Banlan, and then follow the route Yan Ping returned to reach that location.

As long as you reach that position, the direction will be clear!
It took Yan Ping seven months from the beginning of his exploration to his return, which means that the location that Lu Ye was familiar with was three and a half months away from Yan Ping's distance.

The speed of Banlan's drifting is not as fast as that of the Rongdao monks' flying. If it goes this way, it may take more than half a year.

However, all the monks who went out to explore have not returned yet, so we still need to wait.

But Lu Ye felt much happier, after all, the biggest problem had been solved.

Yan Ping is undoubtedly a cultivator from the Yan family. His cultivation is not too high, at the fifth level of Rong Dao. Now he has also begun to cultivate his own Dao soldiers. He obviously mistakenly thought that Lu Ye's cultivation was very high, and began to ask him for advice on this matter.

If it was before, Lu Ye really couldn’t explain it.

But when asked at this time, he actually had a lot of experience.

Five months passed in a flash.

The monks who went out to explore returned one after another, including Lu Ye’s talent tree clone.

I waited another half month.

The four family heads stood side by side with Lu Ye.

"A few people are missing?" Lu Ye asked.

Yan Yao said: "There is one person missing from the four major families, but there are five people missing from the other small and medium-sized families."

"Are you still waiting?" Lu Ye asked.

They have not returned by this time. These five missing Rong Dao either encountered danger on the way and died, or left Banlan completely and were unwilling to return.

This is a normal thing. Lu Ye is actually mentally prepared for this. Everyone has his or her own selfish desires and pursuits. No matter how much he or she is told in advance or how well they express themselves, when the time comes for them to let the sky be high and the birds fly freely, they are bound to have some thoughts in their hearts.

What he was originally worried about was that the direction explored by the monks who had never returned might be the correct direction. If so, then it would be really missed. After all, an exploration takes a year, and he couldn't let people explore it again.

But now that Yan Ping has brought back good news, there is no need to worry about this.

"No need to wait." Huang Chen said.

"Then let's continue our journey." Lu Ye looked at the four family heads: "Please take them back to Banlan. According to the previous agreement, after I have settled Banlan, you can leave Banlan and try to ascend to the Hedao. If anyone else wants to leave Banlan and ascend to the Hedao, your families can discuss it together."

Huang Chen nodded: "No problem."

Lu Ye personally instructed them again, and introduced the things that they should pay attention to when entering the colorful world. After a moment, many people from the Rong Dao flashed into the colorful world and disappeared.

Lu Ye then handed the jade bead he had refined before to the four family heads, and then they entered the colorful world.

The hustle and bustle disappeared, and Lu Ye became alone again, but this time he was no longer confused, and there was only one definite direction in his heart!

With the power of Taoism urging him to control the colorful boat, he drifted towards the direction where Yan Ping was returning.

Yan Ping was undoubtedly very careful. He not only recorded the star signs at the end of the exploration, but also recorded the star signs along the way.

So even without his guidance, and relying only on himself, Lu Ye wouldn't have to worry about going off the track with the help of the star map!
In order to shorten the journey, Lu Ye increased the speed of the Banlan Piaobo a lot this time. This would cause some difficulties for the subsequent docking, but as long as Lu Ye slowed down in advance, there would be no problem.

Suddenly, another half a year had passed, and Lu Ye finally saw the familiar constellations!
He looked around and thought carefully. Wasn't this the place he passed by a month before he fell into Banlan?
The reason why he fell into Banlan that year was mainly because while avoiding the pursuit of a Zerg Rongdao, the place where the talent tree clone was hiding was swallowed up by a passing Banlan.

The clone of the talent tree could not afford to fail, so he chased directly into Banlan, and this time the result was that he could only go in but not out.

Only then did I encounter all kinds of things in Banlan.

Calculating the time, he actually didn't explore the Star Abyss for too long before he fell into the colorful world.

A few months after leaving Qing Palace, he met a group of Taoists led by Madam Qingyu. That was the first time he saw the Taoist pond and Taoist fish. There, he killed the first Taoist cultivator.

After he separated from Madam Qingyu and the others who had entered the Dao, he fell into disarray within a few months.

So this location is not far from Qing Palace! Because at that time he was only in his twenties, and he was very careful when traveling in Xingyuan. His speed was not very fast, and it was even far slower than the speed of Banlan Piaobo at this moment.

Almost home!
Lu Ye was eager to return home, constantly urging his Taoist power to lead the colorful journey forward.

Half a month later, Lu Ye's expression changed.

Because he had a familiar feeling.

It seemed as if there was something far ahead, guiding me and asking me to go and explore.

The call of the star abyss!

Wherever there is a Star Abyss Gate or a location where the Star Abyss Gate is about to open, there will be the Star Abyss Call. Lu Ye has experienced such a thing and is naturally familiar with it.

The range of Xingyuan's call is extremely large. Any Xingyuan creature passing by within this range will be called to gather.

The source of this Star Abyss inspiration is undoubtedly the Star Abyss Gate that connects to the starry sky.

When Lu Ye left the starry sky, six star gates had already been opened in the entire starry sky. In order of opening, they were the Wanxiang Sea, the Huanmie Galaxy, the Xuanshuang Galaxy, the Lanyun Galaxy, the Tiangang Galaxy and the Changyue Galaxy.

The Star Abyss Gate on the Qing Palace side is connected to the Illusion Galaxy. When Lu Ye brought Jiuyan and others back to the starry sky, they entered the Illusion Galaxy.
