saint of humanity

In the Grand Commandery, Lu Ye sat cross-legged, stroking his chin in deep thought.

He had just sent Fu Wei back. According to divination, this guy was even more exhausted than last time. He might not be able to fully recover for a year or two.

Although he was skeptical about the scene that Fu Wei saw when he was fortune-telling, and did not think that he would have a life-and-death battle with Ba Qiu, the scene described by Fu Wei gave him some ideas.

All along, the condition for the transformation of the talent tree has been to absorb enough fire energy, but after the fourth transformation, no matter how much is absorbed, it is useless.

Lu Ye could feel that the fourth transformation should not be the limit of the talent tree. It had a higher upper limit. But if it did not need to devour fire energy, then what did it need to devour?

Fu Wei said that at that moment in the future, the gifted tree appeared behind him, burning fiercely, with roots hanging down, entwining around Tyrant's Taoist soldiers and devouring them madly.

Shang is a treasure, and the talent tree may not be able to devour it.

But Lu Ye remembered one thing, the talent tree can devour attribute treasures!
Back then, he had a destiny dice which was of little use, so he let the talent tree devour it for the sake of a little Dao power. When the talent tree devoured this treasure, in addition to bringing him some Dao power, it seemed to have some other subtle reactions. However, he did not pay much attention to it at that time, and was only immersed in the joy of quickly gaining Dao power.

Now that I think about it, no matter how useless it is, it is still a treasure, born from a supreme treasure. How could such a precious thing only provide me with such a little spiritual power?
It has other benefits, but I have never noticed it.

Lu Ye suddenly realized that the path to the transformation of the talent tree had been in front of him for a long time, but it was ridiculous that he had never noticed it.

But...why is it a treasure again?

Right now, Liao needs treasures to pass the three hurdles, and he needs several pieces. The talent tree also needs treasures to transform. Judging from the reaction of swallowing the destiny dice before, the number of treasures required by the talent tree may be more than Liao.

Lu Ye was a little overwhelmed. Even though he had the identity of the Son of Xingyuan and could exchange it from the Xingyuan Treasury by accumulating Xingyuan coins, it was not so easy to make the talent tree transform again.

However, there is an opportunity right now. Yuanxi City is about to participate in a grand event in which countless Hedao cities will participate. This is undoubtedly what Lu Ye is longing for, because only in such chaos can he kill enemies to his heart's content and then get what he wants.

He was looking forward to this.

The time on the road was boring, and Lu Ye had no choice but to practice hard to pass the time, but he didn't feel bored.

One day, Yuan Xi's voice suddenly came to my ears: "Grand Commander, come here."

Lu Ye opened his eyes, got up quickly, and rushed to the City Lord's Mansion. He soon saw Yuan Xi: "Sir."

Yuan Xi asked, "Last time you said that the guy surnamed Qin was your brother? Is that true?"

Lu Ye said: "I helped him a little, so Brother Feng is very grateful to me."

Yuan Xi seemed to be thinking about something. Since he had already called out such a name, it seemed that the man surnamed Qin really was worthy of addressing his Grand Commander as a brother. The favor he was doing was probably not a small one.

She knew Qin Feng's vision. Who among those who could call him a brother was not a local overlord? Lu Ye was probably the only one who could achieve the state of integration.

"Then you can go to Hehejie."

"What to do?"

"Go find your brother Feng and tell him where this city stands in this war. He'll know what I mean."

"Yes." Lu Ye agreed and turned to walk towards the central hall.

After a cup of tea, on the battlefield, Lu Ye looked at Gong Mao and asked, "Brother Feng is not here?"

Gong Mao smiled bitterly: "The owner has been very busy recently, so he rarely stays here and is always running around."

Lu Ye couldn't help but think that the last time he was here, Qin Feng suddenly left. Now it seems that his busyness must be related to this dispute.

"Fellow Daoist, please tell me what you want. The owner of the arena said that your affairs are the affairs of the battlefield, and we must cooperate unconditionally."

Lu Ye pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Gong should know what Brother Feng has been doing recently, right?"

"of course."

"We in Hedao City are preparing to get involved, so my city lord asked me to come and see Brother Feng."

Gong Mao understood instantly: "Fellow Daoist, you want to add the resonance mark on the Hedao Pearl, right?"

Lu Ye didn’t know if this was the case, so he just nodded vaguely.

Gong Mao said, "This is easy. The owner doesn't need to show up. I'll send a message to have someone come over, and then I'll accompany you back. Recently, many city lords from Hedao City have come here for this matter... How about finding City Lord Kunli? I heard from Lord Bobo earlier that fellow Daoist is also very familiar with City Lord Kunli?"

"Okay!" Lu Ye nodded.

"Then fellow Taoist, please wait a moment. I will send a message to the Lord of Kunli City." Gong Mao said and then stepped back.

Lu Ye was waiting in this secret room. He picked up a spiritual fruit from the fruit plate and ate it slowly.

After waiting for less than half an hour, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a sturdy tall figure stepped in. Seeing Lu Ye, he grinned and said, "Xiao Ye!"

It was Kunli who came to inquire.

"Brother Li." Lu Ye stood up.

"Let's talk while we walk. I don't have much time." Kun Li waved his hand.

Lu Ye hurried forward.

After leaving the battlefield, Kun Li urged his Dao power, wrapped Lu Ye and flew forward, saying in a voice transmission: "I heard from Gong Mao that you, Hedao City, are going to stand on Lao Qin's side this time? So you came here to get a resonance mark?"

Lu Ye said: "The city lord told me to come and find Brother Feng, but he didn't say anything else. In fact, I don't know what to do specifically."

Kunli laughed loudly: "That's right, she wants a resonance mark."

"What is that used for?" Lu Ye asked.

"To identify the identities of enemies and friends!" Kun Li explained, "You have to know that the situation in the snowfield is very chaotic right now. Many Hedao Cities have gathered here before, and now more Hedao Cities are about to arrive. With so many Hedao Cities gathered together, if we meet by chance, who knows if they are enemies or friends? We can't test each other with words after meeting, and this kind of test will not have any definite results, so we need a resonance mark. In this way, when two unfamiliar Hedao Cities get close to each other, they can easily distinguish the positions of enemies and friends."

Lu Ye understood. This was an enemy and friendly identification system.

The snowfield is the battlefield of this dispute. It is a wonder of the starry sky and a huge and unimaginable floating land. It is thousands of times larger than ordinary stars. It is covered with ice and snow and is extremely cold. Some wonderful treasures are often born inside.

However, many years ago, this starry wonder suddenly fell apart. The huge floating land turned into countless small floating lands, scattered in an extremely vast void, creating the special and complex environment there.

It is precisely for this reason that both parties in this fight chose the snowfield as the battlefield. Only such a vast area can accommodate so many Hedao Cities.

Lu Ye knew about Xue Yuan because he heard Yuan Xi mention it casually a few days ago, but she didn't say much.

"Besides me, there are seven other city lords of the Universe-level Hedao Cities who can bless the Hedao Pearl with this kind of resonance mark. The battle on the snowfield side will be presided over by the eight of us for the time being. The entire battlefield has also been divided into eight battle zones. The situation on the other side is similar."

Lu Ye was secretly speechless.

Although the Ten Great Ones did not personally intervene in this conflict, there were at least sixteen Guangzhou-level Hedao Cities, and this was only the beginning.

No one knows how many years this war will last, let alone whether there will be any Universe-level Hedao cities participating in it later.

Yuan Xi was not wrong when he said that this was a kind of bustle that was rarely seen in the Inner Realm in countless tens of thousands of years. Not to mention Lu Ye, who had only been in the Inner Realm for a few years, even a strong man like Yuan Xi Kunli had not experienced such a scene many times.

"In other words, all the Hedao cities that want to participate in this dispute must be personally visited by one of you eight people to add the resonance mark?" Lu Ye asked.

"That's right!" Kun Li nodded, "So I, your brother Li, have been so busy lately! Running around everywhere. Lao Qin, this guy, once he picks something to do, he becomes a hands-off boss and doesn't care about anything else. But my brother has to run himself to death!"

"Brother Li has worked hard."

Lu Ye responded casually. Of course he knew that Kun Li was not really complaining. They were just chatting without any scruples between brothers. Qin Feng was also very busy, but everyone was probably busy with different things. There was no way Kun Li didn't know this.

Kun Li asked curiously, "But then again, I'm not surprised that your city lord wants to get involved in this dispute. She is naturally restless with her personality, otherwise she wouldn't run away from home at such an old age. But why would she stand on Lao Qin's side? She doesn't like Lao Qin very much."

Lu Ye said: "I persuaded her a little, she wanted to stand in Blood Drinking City."

"That's what I said!" Kunli understood.

"Brother Li, who is our city lord? I heard people call her Madam before. Whose important person's wife is she? Why did she run away from home?"

Lu Ye had asked Kun Li similar questions before, but they were not so familiar with each other at that time, so Kun Li was very secretive. But now the relationship is not as good as before, so after a little hesitation, Kun Li replied: "The person standing behind her is one of the top ten, but the relationship between these two people... well, it's hard to say. Anyway, it's enough for you to know about it. We men shouldn't gossip about others behind their backs."

One of the top ten!
Lu Ye knew that Yuan Xi was from a prominent background, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful.

Doesn’t this mean that Yuan Xi’s Taoist partner is on the same level as Ba Qiu?

I don’t know what happened to Yuan Xi that she actually ran away from home. Moreover, when Lu Ye and Yuan Xi first met, she killed a Hedao who came to chase her back without mercy.

Isn't this a breakdown of the relationship?
Then Lu Ye thought of another question.

Tyrant Qiu forced his way into the wonderland and fought with the treasure. Although he succeeded, he was severely injured. For some people in the inner world, this was definitely a godsend opportunity. However, at this critical moment, Qin Feng single-handedly provoked a huge dispute. Was this a coincidence or intentional? (End of this chapter)
