saint of humanity

"Because of the malice of this world towards the human race, after our human race's cultivation has reached a limit, it has become difficult to make any further progress. This is also the biggest reason why there are no saints in our human race." Xia He looked gloomy.

Lu Yeqi asked, "Didn't they say there was another saint? How could that person break through?"

Xia He shook her head and said, "That person is not a native of this world. He came from the outside world many years ago. Some of the saints of various races in this world have such origins. As for where they came from, no one knows."

Lu Ye couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Xia He didn't know where those foreign saints came from, but he knew they must have come from the inner world.

Xue Jiu had said before that among so many powerful people throughout history, not many could achieve sainthood. However, there were some, but there was no trace of them in the Inner Realm. Those who had achieved sainthood had already entered the Source Realm.

But...something's strange.

After a brief pause, Lu Ye said, "I have seen a saint before, but that saint gave me the feeling of a walking corpse. Are all saints in this world like that? If so, why can they still interfere in worldly affairs?"

Someone like Qi Sheng should not care about any worldly affairs. She is just a puppet, a marionette.

Xia He was shocked: "You saw the True Saint?"

"True Saint?" Lu Ye was puzzled.

Xia He explained: "There are two kinds of saints. One is what you mentioned, that is the true saint. They... are indeed like the walking dead, detached from the world. The other is the half-saint. Half-saint is not like that. The saint I am talking about is the half-saint."

Lu Ye frowned.

Half Saint, True Saint, is this kind of division in titles due to the different levels of cultivation, or is it due to some other reasons?
"Whether it's a true saint or a half-saint, our human race lacks a lot. This has led to our race having to live in the Cage Sea. This Cage Sea can also be said to be a place where other races let us roam free. They come to bully and invade us every now and then, and every hundred years, there is a large-scale hunting."

Lu Ye's face darkened: "The people they are hunting are our human race?"

"Yes." Xia He smiled bitterly, "It has been like this for countless years. For any other race, our human race is an excellent sacrificial material."

"Sacrifice..."

"The purpose of their hunting is to capture our human cultivators alive and use them for sacrifice, thereby gaining various benefits. The stronger the object of sacrifice, the greater the benefits they can gain."

"Where does this benefit come from?" Lu Ye felt a little angry.

Xia He sneered: "Of course it was given by this world. This world has its will. Maybe you have never noticed it, but that will does exist."

Lu Ye's face was solemn.

If I am not mistaken, the will of this world is the will of Xingyuan.

He had previously noticed that the Taoist power in this world was extremely pure and rich, and thought that this was a pure land similar to the Hehe Realm, a place that could not be reached by the tentacles of that will.

But now it seems that I was wrong. There is indeed no trace of that will in the Source Realm, but this place is not a pure land.

But if that's the case, why is the aura of the Xingyuan in the Source Realm so pure? Lu Ye couldn't figure it out.

"So the current situation is that the hunt against our human race has already begun?" Lu Ye asked.

Xia He nodded: "Yes, it has already started."

Lu Ye finally understood why he couldn't see any living creature in this cage sea before. He used to think that this place was sparsely populated, but now it seems that it is not the case. There may be human beings hiding on the small islands he passed by, but they just didn't show their whereabouts, just like them now.

"No way to fight back?" Lu Ye asked.

Xia He shook her head: "How can we fight back when we are not as strong as them? It's okay at ordinary times, but during the hunting period, all the elites of various races are out. We are alone and unable to resist. All we can do is try to hide ourselves."

"Fellow Daoist Xiaoman mentioned the big island just now?" Lu Ye asked.

Xia He said: "That is where our human race gathers. If we cannot hide, we will definitely be targeted. But don't worry, those races participating in the hunt will not kill us all. They will leave some vitality for our human race to recuperate."

“Isn’t this just cutting leeks?”

"It's just cutting leeks!" Xia He smiled bitterly, "Above the Cage Sea, the situation of our human race has always been like this, and it has never improved for countless thousands of years."

Lu Ye didn't ask any more questions.

He had a general understanding of the situation in the Source Realm. There was no doubt that the survival of the human race here was extremely difficult. Although his strength was still pretty good now, the current situation was indeed not suitable for running around.

We can only wait until this hunting incident is over before making any plans.

He intentionally visited the only human semi-saint. Since this person came from the inner world and had stayed in the source world for countless years, he should know something. Perhaps he could find out how to leave from him.

Although the hope is slim, it's worth a try.

But that is a matter for the future.

In the next few days, Lu Ye stayed in his position peacefully, practicing in silence.

In order to avoid shocking the world, he exercised restraint when practicing so as not to make too much noise.

A few days later, Lu Ye, who was practicing, suddenly opened his eyes and saw Xia He standing in front of him. She raised a finger to her lips and said softly, "Follow me, someone is coming in!"

Lu Ye stood up quickly.

He didn't notice any movement, but Xia He and others had been preparing here for a long time and should have set up some warning formations. Since she said so, this place must have been exposed.

Xia He moved forward silently and turned a corner. Several figures appeared in front of him. They were Liu Chang and others.

They obviously noticed it too.

When they met each other, they understood each other. Liu Chang took the lead and rushed forward, followed by everyone else.

Three breaths later, a rumbling sound came from behind him, and a powerful aura of force emanated, obviously an enemy was chasing him.

However, this hiding place undoubtedly has more than one entrance and exit, just to guard against the current situation.

Ten breaths later, Liu Chang, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped and turned to look at everyone. His face was filled with pain, and he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Who is it?"

Lu Ye frowned.

I sensed that there were several powerful auras approaching rapidly from the front, which undoubtedly meant that the way forward was also blocked.

This is obviously no coincidence.

Even if the enemy discovered the entrance to their hiding place, there was no reason for them to find another exit so quickly. But now both the entrance and exit were invaded by the enemy. The only explanation was that someone leaked the details of their hiding place, which is why they were targeted like this.

While Liu Chang was speaking, his sharp eyes were fixed on Lu Ye, with deep suspicion and vigilance in his eyes.

The five of them have known each other for a long time and know each other well, so they gathered together for warmth. Only Lu Ye was brought here by Xia He, so it is normal for Liu Chang to have such suspicion.

Not only Liu Chang thought so, but several others undoubtedly had the same idea. Even Xia He, who was standing next to Lu Ye, frowned with a look of surprise and doubt.

"It's you! I've noticed something's wrong with you!" While shouting angrily, the cultivator named Zhou raised his hand and summoned his Taoist soldier. With all his strength, he attacked Lu Ye fiercely without mercy.

In the not-so-spacious corridor, Lu Ye had no way to escape from such a sudden attack.

When the cultivator surnamed Zhou took action, the aura of Liu Chang and others became suddenly more fierce.

As the light flashed, Lu Ye's expression was solemn, and he suddenly kicked out.

This kick broke the fierce attack of the monk named Zhou and kicked him hard in the chest.

The monk surnamed Zhou's eyes suddenly widened, and his body flew backwards like an arrow, directly hitting the leader Liu Chang. The violent force made Liu Chang retreat more than ten steps before he could stabilize his body.

In front of him, the monk named Zhou had a sunken chest and blood was oozing from his mouth and nose. It was obvious that he was seriously injured.

Several pairs of eyes narrowed suddenly.

Especially Xia He.

Among the few people, she had the most contact with Lu Ye. In her perception, Lu Ye's cultivation was actually not that high. Like Xiao Man, he should be only a lower-level He Dao. However, the violent force of that kick just now was simply shocking.

Furthermore, the cultivator surnamed Zhou was a mid-level Hedao cultivator. Even if he did not use his full strength in that attack, his offensive should not have been broken so easily by a lower-level Hedao cultivator.

Suddenly I realized that this young man I picked up from outside was not as simple as he seemed.

Could it really be him?

Lu Ye has already stepped forward, one hand on the handle of the Panshan Knife, with a leisurely look: "Now is not the time for internal strife, you can see the truth with your own eyes."

As he spoke, his figure had already passed Liu Chang and the injured monk named Zhou and led the way away.

Liu Chang frowned slightly but did not stop her. Then, noticing Xia He's inquiring gaze, he tilted his head slightly, indicating that she should follow.

The current situation is that they are surrounded by wolves in front and tigers behind. If they want to survive, they can only break out in one direction.

Regardless of whether Lu Ye exposed their position and tipped off the enemy, they had no choice now.

The leading Lu Ye soon saw the enemy. It was a member of the Winged Clan. He was holding a long sword in his hand and was coming towards him aggressively. Behind him, there were several figures following closely.

Upon seeing Lu Ye, the Winged Clan couldn't help but smile: "The information is correct, it is hidden here."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and stabbed with a sword. The sword light suddenly split, and endless sword shadows filled the corridor.

This sword was very powerful. This Wing Clan member should have reached the middle level of He Dao cultivation. With a full-strength attack, nearly three thousand daos of power were unleashed.

Amid the sky filled with swords, a flash of knife light appeared.

The sword curtain shattered, and the Wing Clan stared blankly at the long swords in their hands.

After a moment of daze, a deep look of horror flashed deep in his eyes.

It was because this Taoist soldier that had accompanied him for so many years was actually cut off!

Just one blow.

The blade's power remained undiminished. After cutting off his sword, it slid across his neck.

Lu Ye had already passed by him and faced several enemies coming from behind.

Behind him, Liu Chang and others who had been on alert all looked at this scene in disbelief, almost unable to believe their eyes. (End of this chapter)
