saint of humanity

Lu Ye had never heard of the concepts of the outer world and the inner world. He guessed that the cultivators in Banlan didn't know about them either.

But others may not know, but Jiuying should know.

It has never told itself that this old guy really has a lot of things hidden from it.

"How to get to the inner world?" Lu Ye asked again.

The mad lion was about to speak when it suddenly let out another scream, and then its burly body shattered like porcelain.

"Fellow Daoist, save me!" The mad lion screamed in horror, with despair in his eyes.

He never expected that after asking the ancestor Xiaoyue to come, he would bring such a disaster upon himself.

According to the original plan, Patriarch Xiaoyue could easily deal with these Rong Daos. When the ancestor left, even if he was injured, his life would not be in danger.

But Lu Ye and the others were too tenacious. A Black Tortoise formation delayed Xiao Yue for dozens of seconds, which was completely beyond the limit that the Mad Lion could endure.

"How to get to the inner world!" Lu Ye asked again.

The mad lion had no way to answer anymore, and stretched out his hand to grab him, as if trying to grasp some hope, but before he could touch Lu Ye, his body shattered.

A top-notch person at the peak of the Fusion Dao, just died like this...

Lu Ye frowned secretly.

What he actually wanted to understand was not how to get to the inner world, he wanted to know what kind of restrictions or constraints a He Dao like Xiao Yue would have to endure when returning to the outer world from the inner world.

Because based on the previous situation, a person like Xiaoyue who has achieved the Dao cannot stay in the outer world for too long, so when he finally left the body of the mad lion, he said something like the time is up.

In fact, Lu Ye has always felt a little strange. Although he has not been in Xingyuan for a long time, he has never met a strong man who has reached the level of Hedao.

In the past, he just thought that Xingyuan was too big and he was lucky not to encounter it.

But if this is true, it is actually even more strange, because there is no Hedao on the other side of the Star Abyss Gate. When the Star Abyss Gate is opened, it will attract many Star Abyss creatures to gather. Take the place where Yin Luo is in charge as an example. There is no Hedao there at all. Yin Luo, who is at the peak of Rongdao, is the strongest.

And according to the information we got today, the He Dao...is generally not in the outer world but in that world!
Why it came out like this?
There are so many secrets hidden in Xingyuan that Lu Ye can’t understand. What he knows now is just the tip of the iceberg.

But this is undoubtedly good news for him. With his current strength, even if he cannot beat a peak Rong Dao master, his life will not be in great danger. So he will not have too many concerns in this outer world.

After simply picking up the spoils left behind by the mad lion, Lu Ye turned and flew towards a piece of floating land nearby.

Everyone gathered here, and after this battle, everyone was seriously injured, even Youdie was no exception. At the last moment, she took the initiative to separate herself from Lu Ye's body and wanted to stop the powerful enemy, but it turned out to be useless and she was injured instead.

The most serious case was Yan Zhixing.

When forming the formation, he fought with the mad lion repeatedly and was already under tremendous pressure. Later, he was hit by a punch from the mad lion and even his heart was crushed.

He was sitting cross-legged on the floating land, his face as pale as paper. The huge hole in his chest was shocking, and one could clearly see his internal organs, which were shattered like a mass of paste.

Chen Gushan, who was standing next to him, had a dull expression on his face.

He Linglong and Ziying both had red eyes.

Although Youdie didn't have many emotions, in this situation, she could only make a sad expression to avoid feeling out of place.

Lu Ye walked over, took a look at Yan Zhixing's injuries, and then sensed his condition, feeling heavy-hearted: "Senior..."

Yan Zhixing is beyond help.

It’s not that the injury is that serious. For a Rong Dao, the injury is indeed not light, but it’s not serious enough to cost him his life.

If the time goes forward a few hundred or a thousand years, Yan Zhixing would only need to recuperate for a while to recover.

But now...

He is too old and has a short lifespan. He has been enjoying his remaining years in the splendor, waiting for his death. If it weren't for the battle today, he might have lived another 100 or 200 years.

But today's battle exhausted all his vitality, so the injury was fatal and his wound showed no signs of recovery.

It's a miracle that he's still alive today.

"Birth, aging, sickness and death are all normal in a person's life. Why do you have such a sour face? I'm going to die, so I won't lose by fighting with Hedao!" Yan Zhixing coughed violently a few times while speaking.

He Linglong hurriedly stepped forward and gently stroked his back, using her strength to calm his almost extinguished life force. When she tilted her head, tears finally fell.

"Boy Lu, come here!" Yan Zhixing raised his hand and waved weakly towards Lu Ye.

Lu Ye took a few steps forward and squatted in front of him.

Yan Zhixing took out an ancient token from his bosom, grabbed Lu Ye's hand and patted it on his palm: "This is the token of the head of my generation. It has no practical use now. It is nothing more than a symbol. Take it back and give it to the head of my Yan family."

"Don't worry, senior. I will definitely bring it there!"

"Also... since you have a friendship with Yan Hong, you should know his character. If possible, try to pull him back. If you can't, don't worry about his life or death."

Lu Ye immediately understood what he meant: "If Brother Yan reaches the peak of the Tao of Fusion one day, I will bring him out."

Yan Zhixing showed a pleased expression. Lu Ye was a smart man and some things did not need to be made too clear.

It's not that the Yan family has no other peak Rong Dao masters besides him. The current Patriarch of the Yan family has strength and cultivation that is not inferior to his. Yan Zhixing also knows that if he asks, Lu Ye will not refuse to bring the Patriarch of the Yan family out.

Just based on his efforts today, Lu Ye had no reason to refuse.

But Lu Ye’s friendship with the Yan family has not reached this level. It is only limited to Yan Hong, so he specifically mentioned Yan Hong.

Yan Zhixing looked at Chen Gushan again: "Old man, I'm afraid I have to go first."

Chen Gushan forced an ugly smile and said, "If you have any last words to say, hurry up."

"No last words!" Yan Zhixing laughed, picked up his wine gourd, and stared at it deeply: "I just vowed to quit drinking, but I'm afraid I can't quit!"

Chen Gushan tilted his head, feeling bitter in his heart.

After opening the gourd, Yan Zhixing took a few big gulps and shouted, "What a delight!"

The head slowly drooped, and wine mixed with blood dripped down from the corners of the mouth.

Vitality dissipated...

He Linglong's sobbing sounded, and Ziying shed tears silently.

Chen Gushan sighed and tilted his head back, trying not to let the bitterness in the corners of his eyes show. With the passing of one old friend who had accompanied him for a lifetime, one less person remained.

Lu Ye's expression changed slightly: "Senior Chen..."

Chen Gushan didn't look young to begin with, and at this moment he suddenly looked much older, with his body becoming hunched over.

His behavior made He Linglong even more serious.

In contrast, He Linglong had always been an image of a dignified and beautiful woman, but when Yan Zhixing's vitality dissipated, her black hair turned snow-white at a speed visible to the naked eye, and her originally smooth and elastic skin also became loose. In just a few breaths, a beautiful woman turned into an old woman.

"Mr. Chen, Aunt He, you..." There was panic in Ziying's eyes. At this moment, she suddenly understood something.

Chen Gushan looked at her and smiled: "It has been impossible for the three of us old guys to advance to the Hedao state. Even if we hadn't fought just now, we wouldn't have had this hope, because our lifespans are really short and we can't stand the ordeal. But fortunately, we have finally made it out."

"Mr. Chen, I..."

Chen Gushan waved his hand and sat in front of Yan Zhixing with a tired look: "Don't feel guilty, this is our own choice. If I really want to say something, I have to thank you. At least we have done something meaningful."

What he was referring to was undoubtedly the matter of rescuing the human race in Wubian City.

At present, all the Rong Dao in the entire Wubian City has been destroyed, and the only living Gui Mie will definitely not come back. It can be said that Wubian City has completely changed its owner, and the human race living in it will no longer suffer from slavery and oppression like before.

"We won't die for now." He Linglong took Ziying, who was crying like a child, into her arms. "If we don't fight with others, we should be able to live for many years. Don't be too sad."

Ziying nodded with red eyes, and then she felt better.

A great war came to an end, ending with the complete destruction of Wubian City.

Lu Ye and the others were not feeling well either. One Yan Zhixing died, and the rest were old or injured. They all needed to recover quickly. As for the matters of Wubian City, they really didn't have the energy to deal with them for the time being.

Anyway, Wubian City is there, so it won’t be too late to deal with it after the injuries are healed.

The group simply packed up and flew towards the insect nest.

For the next period of time, everyone was recovering from their injuries, and Yan Zhixing's body was buried on the desolate planet where the insect nest was located.

Chen Gushan and He Linglong were consulted on this matter.

People like them who are at the peak of the Rong Dao realm have been trapped in the splendor for their entire lives. Now that they have finally gotten out, they naturally don't want to go back.

Not to mention Yan Zhixing, even Chen Gushan and He Linglong have no intention of returning to Banlan.

It is true that they can no longer advance to the state of He Dao, but they also do not want to step into that cage again.

In the insect nest, Lu Ye was silently recovering himself.

With the help of Youdie's powerful vitality and his own recovery ability, although the injury was serious, recovery was not a difficult matter.

This is still the result of the insect nest being imperfect. If it were the same insect nest as before, Lu Ye's recovery speed would be even faster.

In the sea of ​​​​gods, Youdie's soul was being burned by the power of the talent tree, and she looked very happy.

This was something Lu Ye had promised her a long time ago, but he kept putting it off.

In this fight against the Mad Lion, Youdie performed quite well, especially when he was knocked away by the Mad Lion at the last moment, Youdie took the initiative to reveal her soul to intercept him. This approach was very dangerous, and she could have completely avoided doing so.

But she did it anyway.

The current benefits can be regarded as rewards. Anyway, the fuel reserves of the talent tree are now abundant, so it is not a big loss for Lu Ye. (End of this chapter)
