Chapter 677 - 677: 320
During this time, Lu Yi’s mastery of Array Tao had not flagged. With Tianming’s Planet Defense Array as a reference, it took him merely two weeks to complete the etching of the massive Defense Array.
This Defense Array was the culmination of all his Array Tao Enlightenment, capable of resisting an early-stage Golden Immortal Level cultivator for a while. Below the level of a Golden Immortal, there was no chance of breaking through the defense.
Afterward, Lu Yi took the palace at this location as the core and set up the Array Eye, fully expanding the Great Array.
The Red King and the strong members of the Red Clan stood above the Magma Sea, watching the dense Array Patterns in the sky, feeling the vague but terrifying pressure coming down, their faces slightly pale.
Lu Yi had never shown any significant power, not even a hint of his aura.
Although they knew from Red Butterfly that Lu Yi was very powerful, they did not have a concrete concept of his strength.
Now, they had that concept.
Facing just a trace of the aura from the Great Array, they felt as insignificant as ants.
This power was beyond imagination.
Next to them, the Fourth Master and the two Star Wind Pirate True Immortals were even more shocked, feeling great astonishment in their hearts.
Their cultivation base was far stronger than that of the strong members of the Red Clan. The strong members of the Red Clan simply realized that Lu Yi was extremely powerful, but they did not have as profound an understanding as the three from the Star Wind Pirates.
The Fourth Master, as a powerful Late-stage Profound Immortal, felt facing this Great Array like confronting an unbreakable mountain.
As the Array Patterns of the Great Array gradually faded from view, Lu Yi lightly chuckled, “All set, the Great Array is now in place.”
“Thank you, My Lord!” The Red King and others came back to their senses and quickly said respectfully.
Lu Yi waved his hand, “With the Great Array in place, Red Star should not be in much danger anymore. I should go. Inform the youngsters who want to leave.”
The Red King and the others nodded repeatedly.
Soon, about a dozen young cultivators of the Red Clan flew out from the palace complex and reached the sky.
These young cultivators, both male and female, all had a cultivation base above the Unification Realm.
In Lu Yi’s eyes, one could see the traces of their lives; none of them were very old, the eldest being just over ten thousand years old.
Managing to break through to the Unification Realm at such an age with the cultivation techniques of the Red Clan indicated that their talents were quite impressive.
At this moment, these youngsters looked a bit restrained as they respectfully greeted Lu Yi, “We’ve seen My Lord.”
In this period, the Red King and the others had already conveyed their plans to them.
They naturally understood that Lu Yi’s status was extremely honorable, and that both his strength and talent were formidable.
Leaving with Lu Yi, they could gain better development opportunities, and in the future, they might even become stronger than any in the history of the Red Clan.
For this reason, the cluster of geniuses naturally had no objections.
Seeing the nervous cultivators of the Red Clan, Lu Yi smiled gently, “Don’t be nervous, I don’t bite. Red Butterfly, please take care of them.”
“Yes, My Lord,” Red Butterfly nodded.
After that, Lu Yi took out the Red Sun Boat and with curious looks from the Red Clan cultivators, he led everyone onto the Heavenly Boat and left Red Star.
Once on the Red Sun Boat, Red Butterfly arranged for the Red Clan’s geniuses to rest separately.
Meanwhile, Lu Yi sent the Fourth Master and the two Star Wind Pirate robbers to the control room to keep an eye on the surrounding environment.
Liu Ningshuang and the others went back to cultivation, and Lu Yi then notified Red Butterfly to take care of the Red Clan’s geniuses and to visit his room once done.
……
In Lu Yi’s room, he sat on a chair, watching the pitch-black space outside the window, quietly waiting.
Before long, there was a knock on the door. Lu Yi smiled, “Come in.”
Red Butterfly quickly entered, her expression somewhat anxious, “My Lord, what did you want to see me about?”
Red Butterfly had a little expectation in her heart—why would My Lord call her into his room alone?
Could it be… As Red Butterfly imagined certain scenes, she became a bit nervous.
“Sit down and we’ll talk,” Lu Yi said with a smile.
Snapping back to reality, Red Butterfly nodded and quickly sat down next to him.
Lu Yi slowly began, “Red Butterfly, can you tell me about the history of your Red Clan? How did your clan come into being?”
Lu Yi was very concerned about the faint pressure he had felt on Red Star and wanted to understand the situation from Red Butterfly.
Hearing this question, Red Butterfly was stunned, feeling a bit awkward.
The Lord had called her here just to learn about the history of her Red Clan?
She thought it was something else…
Feeling a bit disappointed, Red Butterfly did not show it and quickly responded, “Of course, there’s no problem.”
“It is recorded in ancient texts that the ancestors of our Red Clan were born from the vast Red Sea. It is said to be the offspring of the three suns that once fell into the Red Sea. Born with great wisdom, they have thrived on Red Star to this day.”
“Born from the Red Sea?” Lu Yi raised an eyebrow.
Could it be that this was a case of lava manifesting life?
If it really was lava that had taken on life, Lu Yi wouldn’t be surprised, considering the vast universe is filled with many alien races. It’s not only lava; even rocks that have turned into living beings exist.
What surprised Lu Yi was the subtle pressure he felt within those palaces.
“So those palaces were also constructed by your ancestors?” he asked.
“Yes, they are the treasures left for future generations by our ancestors,” Red Butterfly nodded, “My Lord, is there anything wrong with those palaces?”
Red Butterfly was somewhat worried.
Lu Yi shook his head, “No, nothing’s wrong.”
He was contemplative, sensing that something didn’t quite add up.
After all, after so many years adapting to the Law, using those primitive Cultivation Techniques to cultivate up to the Mahayana and even the Tribulation Transcendence Realm was already the limit.
