Chapter 2361 Current Situation
The unfortunate thing is that no one expected that the speed of Xingyuan's invasion would be so fast.

According to Lu Ye's original idea, even if he wandered in the Star Abyss for dozens or hundreds of years, it would not be too late to come back, because under normal circumstances, even after so many years, the progress of the Star Abyss invasion was still within the range that the Starry Sky could cope with.

As a result, the situation in this starry sky is different from that in other starry skies. In just over ten years, seven paths of cultivators can pass through this side of Huanmie.

The Illusion Galaxy is led by the Huanglong Realm, and the most powerful ones are Chen Wulei and Chang Yu, two cultivators from the Yanjia Starry Sky.

A large number of enemies invaded and this side was unable to resist them at all. The battle fortress retreated again and again and almost withdrew from the range of the Disillusionment Galaxy.

Fortunately, these invading enemies were not of one mind, and they were also fighting and killing each other, so Huanmie still had some strength to resist.

This is not the biggest reason.

Instead, most of the invading Star Abyss creatures are unwilling to leave the area covered by the Star Abyss aura, which is now the area covered by the Illusion Galaxy.

After hearing this, Lu Ye quickly understood the whole story.

Those Star Abyss creatures, whose strength is only seven at most, have very little Dao force reserves in their bodies. Once they leave the Illusion Galaxy and truly set foot in the starry sky, the Dao force they consume will have no source of replenishment, because in today's starry sky, except for the area near the Star Abyss Gate, there is no place shrouded in Star Abyss aura, and no Dao force exists.

It is precisely for this reason that the vast majority of Star Abyss creatures will stay in Illusion. If they stay here, they can still strengthen themselves by hunting each other, but if they leave, although they can kill the creatures in the starry sky at will, they will not get any practical benefits. At most, they can satisfy their desire to kill.

Of course, there were also Star Abyss creatures that left Illusion and broke into various parts of the starry sky, causing a large number of casualties, but the number of such Star Abyss creatures was not large, and there were now specialized people in the entire starry sky who were hunting down these enemies.

After listening to Gu Sheng's general description of the current situation, Lu Ye felt fortunate that the worst situation did not occur.

For him, the worst thing was that the enemies who had invaded before were now scattered all over the starry sky.

If this is true, the entire starry sky will suffer a great disaster, and countless lives will die in vain.

As they were talking, the two gradually left the range covered by Xingyuan's aura. After a while, a huge battle fortress appeared in front of them.

It was the battle fortress that the Huanglong Realm was responsible for building back then. It was originally located near the Star Abyss Gate, but it has been constantly retreating over the years. Today, it has retreated to the edge of the Illusion Galaxy.

Gu Sheng led Lu Ye straight into the war castle. His spiritual thoughts surged and he transmitted the message. The next moment, several figures flew out from a building in the center of the war castle and headed towards them.

They soon came closer, and the leader was none other than the Lord of the Yellow Dragon Realm, Gu Yunliu.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, you're back?" Gu Yunliu's face was filled with surprise, and the several cultivators around him also looked excited.

Everyone knows that Lu Ye left the starry sky a few years ago and entered the Star Abyss alone to find a way to save the starry sky, but there has been no news of him over the years. No one knows whether Lu Ye is alive or dead, and if he is alive, what his situation is.

But I didn't expect that he would suddenly come back today.

Gu Yunliu really wanted to ask Lu Ye about his gains, but considering that Lu Ye had only been away for a dozen years, he ultimately did not ask.

Don't ask, there is still some hope.

If I ask, I'm afraid there's no hope.

After all, a mere dozen years is too short. When Lu Ye left, he had only entered the Dao. Entering the Star Abyss is like a stone falling into the sea. What waves can it create?
"Master of the Ancient Realm, fellow Taoists." Lu Ye clasped his fists.

After a while, everyone sat down in a hall.

"Where are fellow Taoists Chen Wulei and Chang Yu?" Lu Ye asked. Although he had just received a lot of information from Gu Sheng, the journey back was too short and they didn't talk much because Gu Sheng didn't go too deep into the illusion to kill the enemy. Now, no cultivator dared to go too deep into the starry sky. The aura of the starry sky cultivators was different from that of the starry abyss creatures. Once they went too deep and were discovered, it would be very dangerous.

Chen Wulei and Chang Yu are the strongest here, so Lu Ye naturally has to ask about their situation first.

Gu Yunliu said: "Brother Chen is in seclusion refining his Dao bones. In terms of cultivation strength, he is much stronger than us. He has been trying to advance to the Rong Dao over the years. We have also formulated a plan to help him break through and advance. If he can advance, the crisis of disillusionment can be temporarily resolved. As for Brother Chang, he is outside chasing those scattered invading enemies."

Lu Ye raised his brows.

Gu Sheng had mentioned before those scattered invading enemies, who were scattered throughout the starry sky and were being hunted down by special people. Now it seems that Chang Yu was one of them.

Because he has this strength.

As for their plan to help Chen Wu Lei advance to the Rong Dao, it is also quite good. If Chen Wu Lei can really advance to the Rong Dao, then they should be able to stabilize the situation on Huanmie's side.

"From entering the Dao to integrating the Dao, the foundation of advancement involves Dao patterns. Do you know about this?" Lu Ye asked.

He only found out about this after he entered Xingyuan. If Xingkong didn't know about it, Chen Wulei would never be able to advance to the Rongdao realm in his lifetime.

"Of course I know. Brother Chen has already determined the foundation of his Dao pattern for advancement to the Dao of Rong." Gu Yunliu said.

"Oh? Which expert can give me some advice?" Lu Ye was a little surprised.

Gu Yunliu smiled, clapped his hands and said, "Let this expert tell you himself."

As he moved, a beautiful maid walked up to Lu Ye with a potted plant in her hands, bowed gracefully, and then placed the potted plant on the table next to Lu Ye.

Lu Ye looked at the potted plant carefully, then stood up suddenly, extremely surprised: "Are you awake?"

This potted plant is not an ordinary potted plant at all. It is actually a small sapling, and it has the aura of the Reincarnation Tree!
When Lu Ye left, the old tree had already entered a cycle of reincarnation and silence, and all the clones of the reincarnation tree in various parts of the starry sky had withered and died.

But I didn't expect that when I returned today, the old tree had actually woken up.

This undoubtedly means that its cycle has come to an end.

The one in front of him should be just a clone of the old tree, but it is different from the ones he has seen before, mainly because it is too small.

"It's been a while since I woke up, but I haven't fully recovered yet." The sapling swayed, and the old tree's voice came, "So even if you came back, I didn't notice it."

If the old tree was in normal condition, he would be able to sense Lu Ye's return instantly no matter where he was, because there was a mark of the Reincarnation Tree on Lu Ye's hand.

But because the tree was old and in poor condition, it didn't notice this.

When he saw the old tree, Lu Ye immediately understood who the expert was who had instructed Chen Wu Lei.

As a treasure of the starry sky that has survived for who knows how many tens of thousands of years and has experienced the last war of the Star Abyss invasion, the information that the old tree possesses is far beyond everyone's imagination.

Lu Ye was very happy.

The awakening of the old tree made him feel a lot more relaxed, even though the old tree could not play a big role now... Before returning, Lu Ye felt that the safety of the starry sky depended on himself alone, but after seeing the old tree, this pressure immediately disappeared by more than half.

After chatting with the old tree for a few more words, Lu Ye turned to look at Gu Yunliu: "Master Gu, how is our overall situation here in Huanmie? When I came back, I didn't seem to see much of our people."

"It's difficult." Gu Yunliu sighed, "Right now, in Huanmie, we only have eighty-three monks, and sometimes there are dead in battle, scattered throughout the galaxy, so it's naturally difficult for you to see the whereabouts of your own people."

"Huh? Eighty-three?" Lu Ye was stunned.

This number is not too small, but much more than he imagined.

You have to know that among the six Star Abyss Gates in the entire starry sky, there are eighty-three people on the side of Huanmie, and the situation in other places is similar at best.

Doesn’t this mean that there are almost five hundred people who have entered the Dao in the entire starry sky?

This does not include those who died in battle. If that were counted, the number would be much higher.

When he left Xingkong, he was only a few years old? And it has only been more than ten years.

As if seeing Lu Ye's doubts, Gu Yunliu laughed: "Daoyou, have you forgotten the arrangements you made before you left? In terms of the foundation of this starry sky, with the catalysis of your arrangements, it is not that difficult to be born into the Dao. The difficult part is the practice after being promoted to the Dao."

Lu Ye thought about it carefully and suddenly remembered that there were indeed some arrangements made after he left.

First of all, Jiuzhou has been moved to Qianqiu Tomb under Xiaojiu's control. Jiuzhou is a realm that can grow rapidly. With the convenience of Qianqiu Tomb, it has been promoted to a top realm before Lu Ye left, and spiritual jade veins were born in the realm.

Moreover, Xiaojiu can also help the cultivators who enter Jiuzhou to practice and grow rapidly by consuming the essence of Jiuzhou.

In this way, Jiuzhou is absorbing the essence of each tomb in the Thousand Hills Tombs, strengthening itself, and then transferring it to the cultivator selected by Xiaojiu.

With this kind of help, the time it takes for a cultivator to grow at the sunlight level will be greatly reduced, and he can even achieve rapid success.

In addition, Lu Ye also reached an agreement with the Soul Clan, opening the Soul Clan’s territory to the entire starry sky, and no longer restricting entry and exit to only the Soul Clan.

In this case, Rizhao monks can quickly improve their spiritual attainments.

With these two approaches working together, at the sunlight level, the cultivators' growth rate has increased many times faster than before.

In addition, Xingyuan's invasion also made the starry sky spiritual energy more active, and it was much easier for cultivators to break through their practice than before.

When the cultivators have reached the requirements for advancement, they can enter the area shrouded by the aura of the Star Abyss and advance to the Dao using the Furnace Method or other methods.

After Gu Yunliu's reminder, Lu Ye finally remembered the arrangements he had left behind.

Of course, the biggest reason why Starry Sky can give birth to so many people entering the Dao in such a short period of time is that there are enough Rizhao monks accumulated from generation to generation!

The power outages at home occurred several times. After a lot of trouble, I made several phone calls, and even went to the property management to have an argument. In the end, I just hired an electrician to fix it myself.

I feel dizzy now, and I’m not sure if there will be a second update in the afternoon.
