Chapter 2397 Sword Slave
In front of the gate of Xingyuan, more than a dozen powerful men from the inner world were shocked. The ferocious power of the precious Tianxuan Sword bloomed unscrupulously, making the surrounding void become fragmented.

Lingering beneath the eerie sword energy was a thick sense of uneasiness and fear.

Master Yun raised his sword, murderous intent surging like a tide.

The powerful men in the inner world were all scared to death and turned around to rush towards the Star Abyss Gate, including the old man who looked like an immortal.

The previous confrontation had made him realize that he was no match for Yun Shiwang.

In just a moment, the bustling Star Abyss Gate became empty.

A shocking sword light slashed out, cut through the Star Abyss Gate, and disappeared.

Lu Ye vaguely heard screams coming from inside the Xingyuan Gate, and was dazzled for a moment.

The starry sky...is at peace!
This crisis was completely resolved with the return of Yun Shiwang. Holding the precious Tianxuan Sword, as long as Yun Shiwang was in charge, who would dare to cause trouble?

Just as Lu Ye was thinking this in his heart, suddenly a pair of cold eyes looked towards him.

In an instant, it was as if countless long needles pierced his body. Lu Ye's blood turned cold and he looked at Master Yun in shock.

Those eyes were as calm as water and as deep as the abyss, but they clearly reflected endless murderous intent and destructive intentions, as if they wanted to slaughter all living things in front of them.

Lu Ye suddenly realized that something was not right with Yun Shiwang’s condition!
"Senior?" He shouted hurriedly and activated his Taoist power, preparing to escape. Having seen Yun Shiwang's methods, he certainly knew that he could not be his opponent. The power of the treasure and the aftermath alone were beyond his ability to resist.

Master Yun did not react, as if he had not heard anything, and just slowly raised his right hand holding the sword.

Lu Ye finally understood the sense of horror that those powerful men from the inner world had felt before, because at this moment, a crisis even stronger than the one he had faced before with the old man with an immortal look suddenly arrived.

"Yun Sheng!" The voice of the old tree sounded. At the same time, a green leaf floated out from Yun Shiwang's arms and exploded into a ball of green light, enveloping Yun Shiwang.

Master Yunwang's right hand, which was halfway raised, suddenly stopped. A trace of struggle suddenly appeared between his brows, but it quickly disappeared.

He indifferently withdrew his gaze from Lu Ye, without even looking at him, as if he had never known Lu Ye. Then he raised his sword and flew to the gate of Xingyuan, and walked in.

Lu Ye's back was covered in cold sweat and felt icy cold.

After a long while, he finally said, "Old Tree, what happened?"

“Ah!” The old tree sighed deeply, “Yun Sheng has always known that he can’t refine the treasure. He is determined to sacrifice himself and become a slave of the Tianxuan Sword.”

Lu Ye was shocked: "Sword slave?"

The old tree said: "As you just saw, although Yunsheng is still alive, he can no longer control himself. Now, the sword that controls him is Tianxuan Sword!"

Lu Ye's heart sank to the bottom. Although he had noticed that something was wrong with Master Yun, he had not expected this to be the case. The Tianxuan Sword was a treasure, and even becoming its sword slave was not an easy task, so he needed to sacrifice himself and give up everything he had.

Master Yun Wanghedao's cultivation level is barely enough to qualify.

"So Senior Yun had his own plan from the very beginning?" Lu Ye asked.

The old tree said: "He only explained the situation to me at the last minute. He was afraid that I would stop him."

Lu Ye didn't know what to say for a moment. He thought that with Master Yun refining the Tianxuan Sword and suppressing the starry sky, there would be no more crises in the future. Who would have thought that the situation would be like this.

"Will the senior come back?" Lu Ye asked.

He suddenly rushed into Xingyuan, what was going on?
"He won't come back!" The old tree's tone was a little low and regretful, "Yun Sheng said that he would guard outside the Xingyuan Gate for thirty years. This is his last obsession before becoming a sword slave, so the Tianxuan Sword will not stop him. He will leave after thirty years. He asked me to tell you that Xingkong only has thirty years, you have to make arrangements early!"

Thirty years...

The time is not short, but for a monk, it is not long either.

What can be done in thirty years?
If the Star Abyss Gate connecting to the inner world had not been opened, thirty years would be enough for the starry sky to develop well. However, this Star Abyss Gate connected to the inner world. Now Master Yun is guarding it with the Tianxuan Sword, and one man can hold off ten thousand. But what will happen when Master Yun leaves after thirty years?
By then, no one will be able to stop those powerful people from the inner world from invading the starry sky.

Lu Ye didn't even have time to feel sad about Yun Shiwang's decision before he suddenly had to face such a huge problem. It really is the unpredictable world.

"Lu Ye, Yunsheng said that people of his generation have never lacked the courage and determination to sacrifice their lives for justice. He was the one who caused this disaster. If possible, he would have wanted to solve it himself, but he doesn't have the ability. He can only delay it for 30 years and put this heavy burden on you. He feels sorry for you."

Lu Ye shook his head slowly: "There's nothing to be sorry about."

The opening of the Star Abyss Gate was not Master Yun's intention. He was influenced by that will. It could even be said that the root cause lay with the rebellious son Lu Ye.

After leaving the starry sky that year, Yun Shiwang knew that he would never be able to come back. However, under the influence of that will, he had no idea what he had done. He did not return to the starry sky until a long time later.

Lu Ye is currently the strongest person in the starry sky. If he doesn’t shoulder this heavy burden, no one can!

But thirty years...how can Lu Ye resist it?
Unless he ignores the colorful balance and improves his cultivation to the ninth level of the Dao of Integration within thirty years, according to Lu Ye's own estimation, if he reaches the ninth level of the Dao of Integration, his strength should be around eight hundred Dao powers. With such strength, he should have no problem dealing with ordinary Dao of Integration.

But there is another problem to be faced.

That is, the Star Abyss Gate is not closed, and the Star Abyss aura has been expanding. Lu Ye has no way to kill the enemy in the starry sky in such an environment. On the contrary, those who have achieved the Dao can greatly improve their strength within the range covered by the Star Abyss aura.

Therefore, even if he really improved his strength to the ninth level of Rong Dao, it would not solve the problem.

If you want to solve the problem completely, you must repair the Star Abyss Gate and prevent the possibility of invasion by powerful enemies from the inner world.

"Don't worry, I will seal this gate to the Star Abyss when the time comes." The old tree consoled him, "In thirty years, I can recover a lot."

The reason why Yun Shiwang didn't tell Shu Lao at the beginning that he was aiming to become a sword slave of Tianxuan Sword was that he didn't want Shu Lao to clean up his mess.

If he had stated his purpose at the beginning, the old tree would definitely not agree. Xingkong needed a strong man like Yun Shiwang right now. He would rather devote his own strength to repair the Star Abyss Gate than let Yun Shiwang become a sword slave without his own mind.

Yun Shiwang also didn't want Shu Lao to do this, so he was resolute and didn't leave a few words to Shu Lao until the last moment, as if leaving a will.

"How can I let you come?" Lu Ye shook his head decisively.

What he can be sure of now is that the old tree had already contributed his strength once during the last invasion of Xingyuan. If it happens again, no one knows what the consequences will be. Maybe the old tree's intelligence will be destroyed, or maybe the Samsara Tree will be completely shattered. Either way, Starry Sky cannot bear it.

But apart from the old tree, is there any other way to repair this Star Abyss Gate within thirty years?
If you want to repair the Star Abyss Gate, you must rely on the power of the treasure.

Among the many treasures in the starry sky today, Lu Ye knows that there are three that have owners.

One is his Fangcun Mountain, one is the Shura Field of the Tian Shura Clan, and the other is Hua Ci’s Three Treasures Money!
He had tried to control Fangcun Mountain before, but due to his cultivation level, he was unable to activate the power of Fangcun Mountain, let alone mobilize the original power of this treasure.

Not to mention the Shura Field. The one who controls the Shura Field right now is Mi Yi from the Tian Shura Clan. He hasn't even entered the Tao yet, and can only unleash some of the power of the Shura Field because of his bloodline.

Strictly speaking, Hua Ci's Three Treasures Money was not controlled by her, but by her pet Pixiu. Needless to say, with Pixiu's current strength, it is impossible to rely on it.

How to do?
The realm of cultivation is the biggest hurdle. If Lu Ye is now a body of harmony with the Tao, perhaps he can use the Fangcun Mountain to repair the Xingyuan Gate, but he is not that after all.

If he ignores the situation in thirty years, he may have hope of achieving the Dao. But if he wants to achieve the Dao, he has to enter the inner world. How can he come back then? A Dao cannot stay in the outer world for too long.

Entering the inner world from the Star Abyss Gate in front of him is one way, but Yun Shiwang is over there. Now that he has turned into a sword slave, Lu Ye cannot guarantee that Yun Shiwang will not attack him after he passes by. After all, not long ago, Yun Shiwang still wanted to kill him. If the old tree had not stepped forward to stop him and awakened Yun Shiwang's intelligence for a moment, I am afraid that his body would have been cold.

No matter how you think about it, this matter is a dead end and there is no way to solve it.

Got to prepare for the worst!
All Lu Ye can think of now is to migrate all the creatures in the entire starry sky into the colorful world, but how can he give up this starry sky?
Furthermore, such migration is not very realistic.

There is no big problem with time. There are many insect tunnels in the starry sky now, and it is very convenient to travel everywhere. Thirty years is definitely enough, but where can we find so many vehicles to migrate billions of creatures together?
This is destined to be an extremely huge project, and it cannot be accomplished even if all the cultivation communities in the entire starry sky are mobilized.

Lu Ye thought hard and thought until his head was about to explode, but he still couldn't come up with a good solution.

It can be predicted that when the final moment comes, the old tree will not be reluctant to contribute his strength.

People of Yun Shiwang's generation never lacked the determination and courage to sacrifice their lives for justice. Does Shu Lao lack that too?
But Lu Ye didn't want to and didn't want to see this happen.

There is always a way, there must be a way, he comforted himself in this way. Various thoughts kept surging in his mind, and were denied again, over and over again.

At a certain moment, he seemed to have discovered a ray of inspiration, but when he thought about it carefully, the inspiration suddenly disappeared.

What is it? Lu Ye searched hard but never got the answer.
