saint of humanity

Over such a long period of time, all the Dao Fish consumed by Lu Ye in his practice came from Qin Feng's battlefield.

He obtained a lot of Dao fish that time, but his own practice consumed a lot of his energy, and the battles he fought were all a waste of his Dao power.

As of today, the fish in hand have basically been used up.

Although there are still some reserves in the talent tree at the moment, they must be kept as backup.

Therefore, if he wanted to continue practicing, he had to find resources. Although the Dao power was rich in the Source Realm, with his practice method, the efficiency of accumulating Dao power would not be too slow, but it was still not as fast as refining Dao fish.

Besides, he has been here for several months and has been staying on this small island. Lu Ye also wants to go out for a walk and find a way to leave.

He didn't want to be trapped in this source world forever.

After making up his mind, he packed up his things a little and flew away.

Without a clear direction, we just walked forward at random. Everything along the way was peaceful. We passed some small islands, but we couldn't even sense any trace of any living creatures.

This puzzled Lu Ye. In such a vast source world, could there be no living creatures?

After a long time, Lu Ye, who was flying, suddenly felt something. He turned his head and looked in one direction. A stream of light was approaching rapidly from that direction.

Finally saw a living person!
Lu Ye was overjoyed and rushed over to meet her. At the same time, he used his full eyesight to look and found that it was a woman, and she should be a human.

The distance between them quickly narrowed, and soon they were close to each other, each standing still.

After observing closely, Lu Ye discovered that this person was indeed a human, and judging from the aura on his body, he should be a Hedao.

As they were both human, they should be able to communicate. Lu Ye was about to speak when he heard the woman scold him, "It's already this late, why are you running around? Are you trying to save your life?"

"Huh?" Lu Ye looked at her blankly.

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

Lu Ye pondered for a moment, then hurriedly followed, quickly catching up with the woman and moving forward side by side with her.

"Lu Ye greets fellow Daoist, what's your name?" Lu Ye clasped his fists.

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

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

Xia He didn't answer but asked: "Do you have anywhere to go?"

Lu Ye thought to himself, I’m new here, what place can I go to, so he said honestly, “No!”

"Then come with me to Liuli Island!" Xia He said, and suddenly seemed to realize something, she turned her head and looked at Lu Ye and said, "Look at your stupid look, you don't know anything, do you?"

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

Xia He couldn't help but put her hand on her forehead: "You really don't know anything?" It's already this late, how come there are still people wandering alone.

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

"Hunting?" Lu Ye was even more confused. What was he hunting?

Xia He was speechless: "Where are you from? How come you don't even know about this?"

Lu Ye looked normal: "I have been practicing hard before, and only recently came out to take a look, so I don't know much about the situation outside." After all, he couldn't tell outsiders that he came from the inner world. That would be a bit shocking and it would be difficult to explain later.

This Xia He seemed to have no ill intentions and was of the same human race as himself, but as the saying goes, one can never know a person's heart through his appearance. Before truly understanding the other person, Lu Ye would find it difficult to judge what kind of person he was.

"I see." Xia He revealed a look of understanding. Although there are not many people like Lu Ye in this cage sea, there are some. She sighed slightly, as if she was reluctant to tell Lu Ye the truth, and said, "No need to ask more questions, just follow me."

Lu Ye was silent for a moment, but ultimately did not speak again.

The other party didn't want to say more, so he didn't ask any more questions. No matter what the situation was, he could just go back and see it with his own eyes.

As Xia He walked forward, chatting casually, 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 Liuli Island that Xia He mentioned.

Two figures fell straight towards the island, then moved forward a distance and arrived in front of a cliff.

Xia He looked around, took out a jade bead, poured his strength into it, raised his hand and struck forward.

The rock wall in front immediately seemed to melt, revealing a hole.

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

"Sister Xia He." A joyful voice sounded, and a petite figure came over from the front, bumped directly into Xia He's arms, and twisted around.

"Okay, Xiaoman, stop making trouble." Xia He held the petite girl's head and pushed her out of his arms.

"What's going on outside?" Xiao Man stopped and asked. Suddenly, she saw Lu Ye following behind Xia He and couldn't help but wonder, "Who is this?"

Xia He explained casually: "A rookie who just started out, I met him 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. You haven't been back for so long, and everyone is worried."

Xia He said, "I just went to check on the situation outside. I was delayed on the way. Let's go in first."

A moment later, several figures gathered in a cave.

There were not many people, only five in total. Except Xia He and the woman named Xiao Man, the remaining three were all men.

What surprised Lu Ye a little was that these five people were all of human origin.

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

The few of them exchanged a few words briefly, all of them looking worried, as if something extremely bad was about to happen.

No one expressed much about Lu Ye's arrival. They were neither enthusiastic nor indifferent. Only the woman named Xiao Man seemed to be curious about Lu Ye and stared at him for a long time.

Lu Ye observed secretly and found that the strength of these five people were quite good. Except for Xiao Man who was at the lower level of Hedao, two of the remaining four were at the middle level of Hedao, and Liu Chang and Xia He were both at the upper level of Hedao.

Lu Ye was not too surprised by this.

In fact, when he came to this source world, he had a premonition that the cultivation level of the creatures in this world would not be too low, because the cultivation environment here was so favorable, and the strength of the cultivators here would grow quickly.

"Everyone, please stay here quietly for the next period of time." Liu Chang looked around at everyone and said, "I hope we can all get through this safely."

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

Liu Chang shook his head and said, "There are indeed many people gathered on the big island, and we can resist some dangers, but the target is also conspicuous. If we are really targeted, the end may not be very good. We are hiding like this, unless we are unlucky, it is safer than going to the big island."

Xia He patted Xiao Man's hand and said, "Going to the big island or staying here both have their pros and cons. I went to the big island last time, but if I hadn't been lucky, I would have died a long time ago."

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

"That's it. I hope we are favored." Liu Chang smiled bitterly and waved his hand.

They all dispersed. There was a place to stay in the cave. Xia He arranged a place for Lu Ye to rest, but did not leave. Instead, he stayed with Xiao Man.

"I can see that there are 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 did have a lot to ask.

He immediately said without hesitation: "Fellow Daoists, are you guys avoiding some danger? And what's going on with the hunting?"

Xiao Man asked, "Have you always lived alone before? Did no one tell 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 had never expected that there would be such a person in the world.

Xia He looked calm, because she had met people like Lu Ye before. Sometimes ignorance is actually a kind of bliss. The more you know, the more cruel it seems.

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

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

"Cage Sea!" Xia He said bitterly, "Cage! Because this entire sea is a cage for our human race."

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

"You could say that there are humans living out there, but their situation is much more difficult than ours. They are basically slaves of various races, living a life worse than death, with no guarantee of survival."

"Why is this happening? What powerful person did our human race offend?"

Xia He smiled bitterly and said, "I can't say I've offended you, because there are no saints in our race! We don't have anyone protecting us, so of course we will be bullied."

Xiao Man said, "There is one, but he has long since passed away."

"There is no saint in the human race!" Lu Ye raised his eyebrows.

"It's not that guy's fault. After all, he is alone and can't provide much protection." Xia He shook her head.

Lu Yeqi asked: "Do other races have saints?"

"Basically, there are. The big clans often have several saints." Xia He looked at Lu Ye and said, "You can cultivate to the unity of the Dao, so can't you feel that this world has ill intentions towards our human race?"

Lu Ye didn't feel too much about this. After all, he had not been here for long. But along the way, he found that the situation of the human race in Xingyuan was indeed not very good.

Especially in the surface world, because of the popularity of bone-nourishing techniques, many human beings are in a state of captivity. The meaning of the survival of these captive humans is to have their bones constantly taken by others, which is a renewable resource for cultivation.

This is the case in the surface world. When reflected in the inner world, there are very few strong people in the human race.

When I returned to the source world, the situation still did not improve. (End of this chapter)
