Chapter 722 - 339: Harvest, Star Core_2
After all, after slaying all those Jiuyou Demons this time, the list of rewards on the task panel was simply one after another.
There were too many Golden Immortal Level Jiuyou Demons here, plus a large number of Profound Immortal and True Immortal Level Jiuyou Demons, the rewards Lu Yi received were simply a hundred times more than what he received when he went to the Zhen’an Battlefield.
Soon, Lu Yi saw the task message he most wanted to see.
To think that slaying that humanoid Jiuyou Demon actually rewarded a whopping fifty strands of Taoist Energy!
Initially, when killing a Profound Immortal Level humanoid Jiuyou Demon at the Zhen’an Battlefield, he was rewarded with only five strands, to think this time the reward had increased tenfold!
If a strand of Taoist Energy could allow an Immortal Venerable to breakthrough to the Immortal King level, then the Taoist Energy he held was enough for twenty-five Immortal Venerables to breakthrough to the Immortal King Realm!
Even if a few more strands were needed to breakthrough to the Immortal King Realm, that would still create several Immortal Kings.
This Taoist Energy would probably drive all the Immortal Monarchs and Immortal Venerables in the entire universe crazy!
Lu Yi took a deep breath, planning to wait until his own strength was stronger.
Then figure out a way to give them to his senior sister and the ancestors of the Yu Family.
After all, the ancestors of the Yu Family had treated him extremely well, and with such things, Lu Yi naturally wouldn’t be stingy.
“Lu Yi, what are you thinking about?” Yu Hanguang saw Lu Yi standing there in a daze and asked.
Lu Yi came back to his senses and said with a light chuckle, “Nothing much, let’s go, we should be able to return now.”
“Okay.”
Lu Yi used the Sky Tunneling Technique, leading a group of people through space, and they quickly returned to their base.
Just as they arrived back at the base, Lu Yi found that a large number of cultivators had gathered, talking animatedly.
Lu Yi was taken aback, and then he heard what these people were talking about.
“Did you notice what just happened over there?!”
“Of course, we noticed! What on earth was that? It seemed like some terrifyingly high temperature was emanating from that direction, as if it were a constant star.”
“I don’t know, but I heard that the Jiuyou Demons were gathering on a large scale at the time. I have a friend who couldn’t escape from the group of Jiuyou Demons and perished, alas.”
“I heard about this too, it seems unheard of for the Jiuyou Demons to gather on such a large scale. Plus, with that huge commotion just now, I’m afraid something big must have happened, right?”
Cultivators wore expressions of worry.
“However, the Military Leader of the Star Realm Army has already gone over. There shouldn’t be too big of a problem, but if it really comes down to it, we might have to ask for reinforcements.”
“Let’s hope it’s nothing serious.”
As Lu Yi and Yu Hanguang listened to this conversation, the more they heard, the weirder their expressions became.
Wasn’t this about the great battle that had just occurred?
Suddenly, Lu Yi remembered that when he encountered that humanoid Jiuyou Demon at the Zhen’an Battlefield before, it had also caused quite a stir, alarming the entire base at the Zhen’an Battlefield.
It seemed likely to be the same situation now.
However, this time they had directly returned through space transmission, without encountering the investigating Star Realm Army on the way like they did at the Zhen’an Battlefield.
“Lu Yi, do you want to explain?” Yu Hanguang transmitted a message with a weird look on his face.
Lu Yi’s mouth twitched: “No need, just inform the person in charge of the Star Realm Army when we go out later.”
After all, with such a big commotion, he didn’t want to be gawked at.
“That will do.” Yu Hanguang nodded and said no more.
Afterward, the group left the base, and Yu Hanguang stepped away for a while to report the situation to the Military Leader of the Star Realm Army stationed there.
Upon returning, Yu Hanguang planned to go with Lu Yi and the others to Tianming.
After all, it had already been agreed upon before, and seeing Lu Yi’s strength so powerful now, Yu Hanguang became even more determined to go to Tianming, listen to Lu Yi’s teaching, and cultivate there.
It was said that Yu Yuanwu had recently been there and was living it up.
Lu Yi naturally welcomed them, and a group of people left the Ningyin Battlefield aboard the Red Sun Boat.
…
Passing through the Star Gate, the Red Sun Boat re-entered the vacuum outside Tianming Star.
Yu Hanguang stood by the window, looking out at the coming and going Heavenly Boats and the distant Commercial Planet, his face showing some astonishment: “I never expected it to be so bustling here?”
In Yu Hanguang’s memory, Tianming seemed like a very remote planet, known to the Yu Family only because someone like Lu Yi appeared from there.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t even know where Tianming was.
Now, to his surprise, the Tianming Star System had become so bustling.
The Ling Luo Peak Master crossed her arms, chuckled, and said, “We owe this to Uncle Tianfeng for having someone build a Star Gate here. Moreover, a power from the Three-Eyed Star Region wanted to win over Lu Yi and specially built a Commercial Planet for him. That’s how this place developed… Of course, the most important factor is that this damn kid gives a lecture on the Tao every now and then, which is an unimaginable opportunity for ordinary immortals.”
“Indeed, with such an opportunity available, even a desolate place would draw a large number of cultivators willing to stay here,” Yu Hanguang sighed.
Lu Yi also looked outside the window and said with a light smile, “It’s not as exaggerated as you guys make it out to be… For me, giving a lecture is just a mere wave of the hand.”
The Ling Luo Peak Master rolled her eyes speechlessly, and Yu Hanguang also fell silent.
Ordinary cultivators at the Profound Immortal Realm usually couldn’t spare the time from their own seclusion and enlightenment, with thousands or even tens of thousands of years being common for a single period of closed-door cultivation. Who had the time to come out and give a lecture every few decades?
Doing so would even interrupt their own enlightenment.
Moreover, ordinary Profound Immortals, even if they gave lectures, would do so for their own clan or sect disciples. Who would be so selfless as to lecture for an entire planet?
And Lu Yi didn’t mind who came; anyone could listen in.
Such people existed, but apart from Lu Yi, it was truly hard to find another with both the cultivation level and the insight to do so.
As the group chatted, the Red Sun Boat had already passed through the vacuum and returned above the White Cloud Immortal Sect.
After disembarking from the Red Sun Boat, Yu Hanguang asked with a smile, “Where’s Yuanwu, that boy?”
The Ling Luo Peak Master said, “I had him build one next to my residence, why do you ask?”
Yu Hanguang’s eyes lit up, and he said with a light chuckle, “Then I won’t need to look for a place to stay; Ling Luo, lead the way for me.”
The Ling Luo Peak Master seemed to understand something and her expression became odd.
Lu Yi, Liu Ningshuang, and the others weren’t quite clear about the situation, and the group proceeded to the top of Ling Luo Peak.
The next moment, Yu Hanguang stood outside Yu Yuanwu’s bamboo cottage and said with a light chuckle, “Yuanwu, I’m here!”
Soon, Yu Yuanwu opened the door, and upon seeing Yu Hanguang, he was a bit puzzled: “Big brother, what brings you here?”
“Naturally, I heard that Lu Yi was giving a lecture here, so I came to listen,” he replied.
Yu Yuanwu’s eyes brightened, and he said with a smile, “Then you’ve come to the right place, brother. I’ll tell you, brother-in-law is extremely powerful, and his insight into the Tao might even surpass our ancestor…”
Yu Yuanwu was about to continue when Yu Hanguang cut him off with a smile, “I know, I’ve just seen it. Anyway, I’ve just arrived and have no place to stay, so I’ll stay here.”
Yu Yuanwu: “???”
He was completely dumbfounded: “Stay here?! With such a tiny bamboo cottage, where would I live if you moved in?”
“You could build another one next door,” Yu Hanguang suggested with a smile, pointing to the open space nearby.
Yu Yuanwu: “???”
Before he had a chance to protest, Yu Hanguang pulled him outside, closed the door behind him as he entered, and left Yu Yuanwu standing outside, dumbfounded.
Lu Yi and the others fell silent, while the Ling Luo Peak Master guessed a bit and her expression turned quirky, as she tugged the corner of her mouth: “Yuanwu, guess you’ll just have to build another one.”
“No way!” Yu Yuanwu let out a scream of agony, sad to the hearer and tearful to the onlooker.
Lu Yi and Liu Ningshuang exchanged glances, then silently turned around and left the top of Ling Luo Peak.
After returning to the Cave Mansion, Lu Yi began to contentedly review the gains from this trip.
The various Star Marrows go without saying, but what made Lu Yi happy was that, after killing a Golden Immortal Level Jiuyou Demon, he was rewarded with a new type of Cultivation Resource, called the Star Core.
