saint of humanity

"Why is this?" Youdie was puzzled.

Fu Wei is currently the deputy city lord of Yuanxi City, and his rank is very low, so the increase in power he can get from the Hedao Pearl of this city is not that much.

But if he takes over as city lord, his strength will definitely be greatly improved.

In the battle just now, the strength displayed by Fu Wei was almost on par with Lu Ye. If he could improve further, he would definitely be much stronger than Lu Ye. How could it be meaningless?

Fu Wei said: "My upper limit of strength depends on Senior Brother Lu, so no matter how much external force increases, my strength will not exceed Senior Brother's."

"There is also this matter..." Lu Ye was slightly stunned.

He had previously wanted Fu Wei to take over the position of city lord, considering that once this guy became a universe-level city lord, with the help of the amplification of the Hedao Pearl, his strength would definitely surpass his current self. But now it seems that he had taken it for granted.

The main reason was that he did not understand the mystery of the Bu clan's innate magical powers.

Come to think of it, Fuwei's own strength comes entirely from him. The fate of the two is connected, but he is the main body.

If this is the case, then there really isn't much point in Fu Wei taking over as city lord.

Things are a bit funny. In such a huge Universe-level city, the only two people who are qualified to be city lords cannot enjoy much benefits, and the rest are not qualified to be city lords.

"Let's leave it at that for now." Lu Ye had no choice. Under the current circumstances, he could only wait for Su Yan, Zhu Yin and the others to be promoted to the higher level first.

"Senior Brother, where are we going now?" Youdie asked.

Lu Ye turned his gaze to one direction, his deep eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the endless void and looked in one direction.

Ever since he escaped from the Source Realm, he had developed some remote sense of connection with something in that direction.

If it weren't for the matter of Ba Qiu at that time, he would have set off in that direction, but because of the matter of Ba Qiu, he could only wait.

"Have the inner and outer worlds completely merged?" he suddenly asked.

"It should be. In the early years, the inner and outer worlds have always had a tendency to merge with each other, and the boundaries have been blurring. Some time ago, this sign suddenly became very intense." Youdie replied, "On the way here, we met many Taoist monks, and there are also some wonders and stars in this world that have never been seen before."

There had never been any monks entering the inner world, but now a large number of them have appeared. This is a sign of the complete integration of the two worlds.

And the extra strange things and stars are all the result of fusion.

Lu Ye looked solemn.

Of the three realms of Xingyuan, the inner and outer realms have been completely integrated. This means that the structure of the entire Xingyuan is no longer so stable. One day, the source realm will surely be integrated as well. Perhaps it is already in the process of integration, but the signs are not obvious.

This made Lu Ye feel a sense of urgency.

He is indeed qualified to roam the inner world now, and even if he encounters the ten city lords, he may be able to escape unscathed. However, there are True Saints in the Origin Realm, and those True Saints are Yuan's puppets.

Given Yuan's hatred and rejection of him, once the Source Realm merges with him, he will probably be the first one to be targeted by the True Saints!

Not to mention the true saints, even the half-saints are not something Lu Ye can contend with at the moment.

The semi-saints in the Source Realm do not have a Hedao City, but if the three realms are completely integrated, those semi-saints will have a huge boost in strength if they get a Hedao City.

Ultimately, it’s due to lack of own foundation.

The sensation of that distant unknown place was undoubtedly the result of the fusion of the inner and outer worlds. Lu Ye wanted to rush over urgently, but he still held himself back.

Because if we rush there like this, firstly, the distance is too far, and secondly, the previous star maps may not be accurate. If we just fly there, it may take more than ten or twenty years.

He needs some external help.

While he was thinking, Lu Ye first contacted Long Zun with the help of the Dragon Book, asked a few simple questions, and then said, "I'll go back to the Phoenix Nest first." Lu Ye made a decision quickly, "You... can do whatever you want."

In the past, Yuanxi City lacked foundation but had extremely high quality. It was like a three-year-old child walking around the city with a large sum of money, which could easily attract the covetousness of others, so it had to hide everywhere.

But it is not necessary now.

With Fu Wei guarding the city, there will be basically no danger unless the ten city lords take action personally or are trapped in a situation from which they cannot escape.

Moreover, our city is blessed with the secret techniques left by Mirage, so as long as we are careful enough, there will be no danger.

A cup of tea later, Lu Ye suddenly appeared in a small world at the top of the Taichu Wutong tree.

This is the central hall of Phoenix Nest.

There was an elder of the Phoenix tribe sitting here. When he saw Lu Ye, he nodded slightly, then closed his eyes and sat upright again.

The Phoenix Clan members are all rather aloof in temperament. Even though Lu Ye had stayed in the Phoenix Nest for some time, he was only familiar with a few members of the Phoenix Clan.

After leaving this small world, Lu Ye soon saw the figure of Long Zun, standing on the trunk of the Taichu Wutong tree.

In front of him was a dark tree hole, and there was a helpless look on his face.

Sensing Lu Ye's presence, Long Zun quickly waved at him.

"Dragon Lord!" Lu Ye landed beside him and saluted with his fists clasped.

Long Zun nodded: "Is everything settled over there?"

"It's been handled." Lu Ye responded, hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "How is Master Feng?"

Lu Ye was not quite clear about what kind of grudges and entanglements there were between the Phoenix Lord and Tyrant Qiu. He only knew that the relationship between the two seemed somewhat unusual.

Ba Qiu eventually died at his hands. When Lord Feng took away Ba Qiu's body, the grief he felt was indescribable.

"No one is there." Long Zun pointed at the tree hole in front and shook his head helplessly, "But don't worry, Shi Niang won't blame you. This is the path that Ba Qiu chose himself. It has nothing to do with you."

Lu Ye sighed lightly. It was indeed Ba Qiu who chose the road himself, but since the person he chose was him, how could it have nothing to do with him?

"By the way, I haven't asked you in detail before. Where did you go after Xue Ju chased you? The outer world? How come you can't even contact Long Ce?" Long Zun asked again.

Lu Ye's expression became serious: "I was just about to tell Long Zun about this!"

When he returned before, because he was concerned about Ba Qiu, Lu Ye contacted Long Zun but did not say much.

He then recounted what happened after he fell into the Source Realm together with Blood Guilt.

Hearing that there were many semi-saints and true saints in the legendary source world, Long Zun's expression changed.

After Lu Ye finished speaking, Long Zun suddenly realized: "No wonder you asked Tyrant Qiu as soon as you came out. It turns out that Tyrant Qiu broke through in the inner world, and there was a reflection in the source world. So you were able to escape, thanks to Tyrant Qiu breaking through the barrier of the source world?"

"That's right." Lu Ye nodded.

Long Zun thought carefully and said, "Ba Qiu failed to advance. When the chain broke, he did strike out... He realized that he would become a puppet after becoming a saint, so he cut off his own foundation... What a Ba Qiu! He stood upright even in death!"

“Dragon Lord, this is not what I want to talk about.” Lu Ye hesitated for a moment, “When Tyrant Qiu was promoted, eight True Saints appeared on Yuan Island, one of whom was from the Dragon Clan!”

Long Zun was shocked: "Dragon clan?" He then said suspiciously: "That's not right. All the Dragon Zun of my Dragon clan have sealed themselves in the Zuyuan restriction. How could it be possible..."

Having said this, he suddenly seemed to remember something, and his golden pupils shrank to the size of a needle tip.

Lu Ye said in a dry voice: "That true saint is the second generation ancestor Yang Qing. Although he is wearing a mask and his true appearance is not visible, I will not be wrong!"

"Second generation ancestor!" Long Zun was stunned.

The Dragon Clan has been searching for the trace of the second-generation ancestor Yang Qing, because Yang Qing's name is ranked first on the Dragon Book. From this, it can be confirmed that the second-generation ancestor is You in the world. But over the years, except for some information about Yang Qing brought by Lu Ye, the Dragon Clan has gained nothing.

The Dragon Clan used to think that the second generation ancestor was trapped in some dangerous wonder, but now they know that Yang Qing is actually in the Source Realm and is one of the True Saints.

This news was so shocking that even Long Zun found it difficult to recover for a while.

"The second generation ancestor is the First Saint, and there is also a Seventh Saint from the Phoenix Clan. When Su Yan and I participated in the competition among the Sons of Xingyuan, it was the Seventh Saint who presided over it. She should have told the Phoenix Lord." Lu Ye spoke again.

Long Zun nodded: "I have heard of this matter, but I didn't expect..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly looked towards the dark tree hole beside him. A figure flashed in front of him, and the Phoenix Lord appeared.

"Greetings, Lord Feng." Lu Ye bowed quickly.

The Phoenix Lord nodded and said, "That Seventh Saint should be the seventh generation leader of my Phoenix Clan. Among all the ancestors, she is the only one with the highest talent and ability. Her origin has never returned to the Phoenix Nest."

If a member of the Phoenix clan dies, its origin will return to its own Phoenix Nest. Under the continuous nourishment of the Taichu Wutong tree, new members of the Phoenix clan will be born one day.

Therefore, although the members of the Phoenix Clan are scarce, as long as the Taichu Wutong tree does not fall, this race will be able to continue.

This is a special method of continuation that belongs only to the Phoenix Clan.

The Phoenix Lord showed up now, he must have heard the conversation between Lu Ye and Dragon Lord in the Phoenix Nest.

Lu Ye looked at Lord Feng, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

The Phoenix Lord sighed and said, "Don't blame yourself. Tyrant's death in your hands was a relief for him. It was also what he wanted."

Lu Ye responded sullenly.

The Phoenix Lord sighed: "After all, the culprit is someone else. If it weren't for that kind of erosion..." As he spoke, the Phoenix Lord clenched his fists, and the space around him twisted, and after a few breaths it slowly calmed down.

She raised her eyes to look at Lu Ye, and then glanced at the Panshan Knife on his waist: "You and Ba Qiu are both military masters. Since he chose you, you have inherited his will. Practice well and don't let him down."

"Yes!"

"Is there something that brought you back this time?" Lord Feng asked calmly.

Lu Ye said: "There is indeed something that I would like to borrow the power of Taichu Wutong!"

Long Zun immediately understood: "Where do you want to go?"

The Taichu Wutong is the treasure left to the Phoenix Clan by the ancestors of the Dragon and Phoenix. This treasure is not only the Phoenix Clan’s habitat and the foundation of the clan, it also has profound powers.

With its great power, it can travel through the void and send Lu Ye to anywhere he wants to go in an instant. (End of this chapter)
